Ramona had great ambitions, so naturally she wouldn't turn pale because of this shock, even though she had to work hard to restrain all the muscles on her face to keep her expression unchanged.
She knew that there were many warriors and slaves who would stay with the same sex. Some of them made do with it, some couldn’t find a woman, and some didn’t want to be separated after the brotherhood developed. Only if some small tribe of wildlings didn't have enough women.
Judging by the boy's age, maybe he grew up with Yuan Zhan, so Zhan Boss is used to being with him
How could the rest of the tribe agree? What about the old priest who can manifest his soul power? Would he agree with a tribal leader and a man? No more descendants? So the thick and dual-line divine blood will not be passed on
Ramona couldn't figure it out.
At this moment, she was eager to see the old priest who was said to be worshiping the gods. She wanted to find out what he said, and wanted to know what he thought of the wayward behavior of the tribal leader.
It was hard to find such a lucky man who was favored by God. She really didn't want to give up just like that. If Zhan Boss just loved the boy for a while, she still had a chance, but what if the love was not temporary
Ramona sighed, always feeling that she had a rough road ahead.
Yan Mo didn't like Ramona deliberately ignoring him. After discovering that Ramona came over, he had been secretly observing the eldest princess's words, deeds and all expressions.
Ramona thought she was covering it up very well, but Yan Mo noticed the strangeness of the other party from the subtleties.
Is this princess also planning to marry Ah Zhan
Yan Mo shook his head in his heart, it wouldn't be that simple, after all, she is the princess of one of the nine upper cities, even if Jiuyuan has shown unstoppable momentum now, but his family knows their own affairs, their tribe has only been established for eight years, whether it is the background or The forces below have only a thin foundation. Even if the Nine Upper Towns start to look at them, they will never recognize their status so quickly, let alone mention Jiuyuan as the same as the Nine Upper Towns. status.
Regardless of Ramona's appearance, or what he learned from Ramona, this is a woman with great ambitions. If she was willing to hide behind a man, she would have married to the city of fire to enjoy the blessings instead of He tried his best to cover up the light of the other two princes in Yincheng, and he did not hesitate to travel long distances to an unknown wild place.
So what does she want from Jiu Yuan? Or does she want to get something from Ah Zhan
Dazed and speechless for a moment, Ramona reacted quickly and smiled at Yan Mo, "It turns out that I am the partner of Zhan Boss, and I am Ramona, the daughter of the Lord of Sound City."
Yan Mo understood that the other party deliberately introduced him again because he wanted to know his name and identity, so he didn't hide it, and smiled back: "Hello, Your Highness, may the glory of the ancestor gods cover you. I am Yan Mo, Priest of Jiuyuan."
Ramona was stunned, "It turns out to be the priest, has the ritual of worshiping the gods in the temple been over?"
"It just ended this morning." Yan Mo wondered why Ramona's expression was so calm? Even the curse witch who knew that he would become younger at the beginning screamed for a long time after seeing his change, let alone other people.
Ramona was naturally calm. She didn't see Yan Mo and the old priest she had seen as the same person at all. She didn't know the composition of the Jiuyuan Temple, so she took it for granted that the Jiuyuan Temple had as many priests as the other cities. .
She even wondered if it was because the young man was a priest, maybe he was the disciple of the mysterious and powerful old priest, so the old priest didn't stop Zhan Boss from being with the young priest? You see, the young man's name is Yan Mo, which is very similar to that silent witch's name. It sounds like he has inherited that silent witch's successor.
Ramona's heart was shaken, and she suddenly thought of many conspiracy theories.
The two sides exchanged a few words of politeness, the road was not a place to talk, and it happened that Wu Chen and Ye Xing came, Yuan Zhan and Yan Mo handed over the princess to the two receptionists, and Ramona specifically confirmed that the priest would also appear tonight, With a smile, he watched the two walk into Zhanmo Academy hand in hand.
Yan Mo stroked his chin, "Do you think that Her Highness the Princess thinks of me as another priest?" Otherwise, how could she clearly see him and ask if she could meet that Lord Mo Wu at night.
Yuan Zhan slowed down and waved casually to the students who saluted them, "Anyway, she will know at night."
The students of Zhanmo College performed Jiuyuan etiquette to the two with slight excitement and reverence. Each of them guessed the identity of the young man in the bamboo hat. The only ones who could walk beside the leader and be so close to the leader were their greatness and benevolence. Who else is there, the priest who is favored by the ancestor gods and who may never really age
Yan Mo also smiled faintly at these children. This is Jiuyuan's future and hope. They have been influenced by the school. In addition to the knowledge they have acquired, they are bound to have a greater sense of recognition, belonging and honor for Jiuyuan than their parents, and for him and Yuanzhan. Loyalty will also be deepened day by day under deliberate brainwashing, until loyalty becomes an unshakable belief.
Five years ago, he originally planned to establish a church-like organization, but after careful consideration, and he himself had no desire for power, and hoped that Dudu and Wu Guo would have a purer growth environment after they were born, he finally proposed to formally establish A school for all ages and all disciplines, and he will be the principal, and every priest of Jiuyuan will be the principal of Zhanmo Academy in the future.
Yuan Zhan heard him talk about the various benefits of establishing a school, and two years later, another military academy was added to Jiuyuan, with Yuan Zhan as the principal, and it was stipulated that only the leader of Jiuyuan Military Academy could be the principal of Jiuyuan Military Academy in the future. Since then there are no Scouts in the Army. In addition, in the early days, all soldiers had to practice half a day during the non-combat period and go to the military academy for half a day to attend classes, and every five days, the classes were changed into practical operations, that is, they had to go to the fields to cultivate wasteland to build houses, roads, sewers, etc.
At present, the military academy is still composed of soldiers, but gradually these adult soldiers will leave the military academy, but even if they leave the military academy, they will still maintain half a day of training and half a day of study and labor during non-combat periods. Because the priest said that once the service period of the soldiers expires or they retire due to injuries, they will not be able to live well without special skills, so you might as well learn more knowledge during the service period.
The soldiers didn't feel tired, but felt that the priest was very considerate of them.
As for the so-called service period, it is also a new regulation issued by Jiuyuan, which stipulates that all men and women over the age of 18 must fight for the tribe, and they are not allowed to replace, trade, or use items or Yuanjing coins. However, the tribe does not want everyone, they will go through a certain selection process, and the boys and girls in Jiuyuan are so excited that they are proud to be selected to join the army.
This is also the reason why the military academy is set to enroll at the age of 18. The current Jiuyuan Military Academy has a very low threshold, as long as soldiers who are selected to serve will be dragged to the military academy for re-education.
But Yan Mo knew that this was only a transitional period. In the future, Jiuyuan would have enough soldiers, and most of the children in Jiuyuan had attended Zhanmo Academy. After laying a good foundation, the military academy, as a special school, had a higher threshold. will increase accordingly.
Although it was a rest day, it was considered good for the two of them to steal half a day off. After lunch, the two of them were busy until evening.
The princess of one of the nine upper cities came to visit as an envoy in person, which is indeed a big event for the current Jiuyuan.
The reception dinner was also of a very high standard, and almost all the managers above the battalion level who could spare time came.
"Woo—" a long and loud horn sounded.
Everyone, whether they are walking towards the meeting hall or those who have already arrived at the meeting hall, all looked up.
Yan Mo, who had already walked into the back garden of the conference hall, stopped and looked up to the southwest, "It seems that we have another distinguished guest."
Yuan Zhan's face was gloomy, and the corners of his eyebrows were slightly raised, "I'm afraid the person who came is not kind."
"I'm curious how they came so coincidentally, and they all concentrated in these few days. Is the old man Curse Wu back?" Yan Mo asked Ding Ning next to him in the last sentence.
Ding Ning replied: "I haven't seen Mr. Curse Zu, but according to the news he asked Yingzhao to send back, it should be in these two days."
Seeing his expression, Yuan Zhan asked, "What did you think of?"
Yan Mo frowned slightly, "Before Master left, he mentioned to me that the Nine Uptowns will gather once every ten years, and this year's Uptown meeting happens to be in Wucheng, and he said he would take me there to meet a few people. Going out this time is to collect some necessary things, and the party time is coming soon."
"Do you suspect that the purpose of Sound City and this distinguished guest has something to do with the gathering of the Nine Uptowns every ten years?"
"I don't know, it's just that they came at a very coincidental time. According to the master, the Nine Universities' Uptown Gathering is to show off their highest military power and the strength of the bottom of the box. At that time, everyone will come up with something to suppress each other, and will do Some big deals, items, land and tribes on the land."
Yuan Zhan sneered, "They are smart. They use this method to reduce losses and maintain long-term rule."
Yan Mo shrugged, "Master said they were afraid of fighting, but thanks to this once-in-a-decade gathering, there has been no major war in these years."
Yuan Zhan saw it clearly, "But similarly, it will be more difficult for other forces to stand out."
"That's right, the nine major forces have joined forces to suppress you, no matter how powerful you are, can you compare to the combined power of the nine upper cities?"
The two looked at each other, and they thought that the purpose of Ramona's coming was not simple, but maybe the situation might be more complicated than they thought.
"Guess, who will be the distinguished guest coming at this time?" Yan Mo laughed.
"What's the good of me guessing right?" Yuan Zhan's expression was also very relaxed. Five years ago, he was not afraid of them, and five years later, he would not be afraid of these upper-city forces.
Yan Mo stood on tiptoe and hooked the man's chin, "Would you like to help you shave?"
A certain animal couldn't stand being teased at all, and wanted to hug people into its arms and rub them with just one hand, "Yes, I want to shave for me every day."
"You are so beautiful!" Yan Mo turned around quickly, and opened his hand by the way, "The guest is here, don't make trouble, be good."
Will Yuan Zhan be good
The chief guard and the priest guard watched the two bosses grab me and I slap you, playing such a childish game, but the two of them could still maintain serious and solemn expressions on their faces, and they all showed that I don't care about anything. Loyalty that I didn't see.
Three long horns and three short horns indicated the arrival of the distinguished guests, and the distinguished guests took the initiative to reveal their identities and did not intrude randomly.
Soon, news came from the scouts who rode Yingzhaofei back. The distinguished guest claimed to be from Tucheng, the upper city of Jiuda.
Yuan Zhan sneered three times, and greeted them out of the city in person, not because he valued these Tucheng visitors, but because he was afraid that these guys would play tricks behind his back. As Yan Mo said, just because he is strong alone does not mean that Jiuyuan as a whole can withstand the all-out toss of a superpower.
Ramona also received news that the dinner party would be delayed a little bit, and when she heard that the new guest was from Tucheng, she immediately frowned.
"My brother still doesn't want to see me?"
The attendant lowered his head and said in shame, "Yes."
"You go to see him again, and tell him that it is related to the development of the entire Sound City, and... the lifelong happiness of his own sister."
"yes."
Ramona walked around twice, regretting that she didn't make good use of the previous two nights and one day. She never expected that Tucheng would also come, and it was only two days later than her.
She originally wanted to cultivate a relationship with Yuan Zhan first, and it would be best to increase her affection for each other. If Yuan Zhan could be interested in her, it would not be too abrupt for her to bring up her intention, but now...
Yan Mo didn't expect that he would see that face again that he was so familiar with that he was physically disgusted.
He hated the snake gall with this face, and he didn't want to see this person again, but also because of this face, he hoped that this person could live a good life. This kind of ambivalence made him deliberately bury this person in the depths of his memory, but he never thought that the other party was so ignorant that he insisted on running to him to find a sense of existence.
Five years have passed, and Snake Gallbladder has also changed. This person's demeanor is a little more self-satisfied and arrogant in holding power, but it is not so obvious. But whether you look at his clothing accessories or his tone of voice, you can feel the other party's pretended modesty that I am a master.
When Yan Mo saw this person, he wanted to slap him, it would be best to knock the smirk and calculations off that person's face.
She Dan was the head of the Tucheng envoys this time, and he was actually promoted to the third highest priest of the Tucheng Temple in just five years. The witch eyes who needed him to curry favor can only follow behind him now, talking to She Dan is the same. The face is cautious.
Unlike Ramona, Snake Dan brought a large number of guards and slaves, but Jiuyuan did not let these guards enter Jiuyuan City, and only allowed them to temporarily station in nearby villages.
She Dan didn't even express any objection, beside him was a noble lady with a veil, a slender figure, beautiful hair like a brocade, and some precious Yuanjing ornaments on her body, and other people in Tucheng also respected this noble lady very much.
Yuan Zhan greeted everyone in Tucheng, and he seemed to have forgotten the mortal hatred with Tucheng. After sitting on the top of the steps, he smiled and asked the envoy of Tucheng to sit down opposite Ramona and the others.
Yan Mo came slowly after everyone was seated.
"Boom, boom, boom!" Three drums sounded, and the whole hall was silent.
A waiter's face was radiant, and he shouted with incomparable glory: "Master Priest-"
Yuan Zhan was the first to get up, and all the other Jiuyuan people who sat down stood up almost at the same time.
As guests, Ramona and Shedan certainly couldn't just sit down, no matter what they thought in their hearts, they also stood up to greet them.
Yan Mo was dressed in a very tall priestly service, holding a bone scepter, followed by four disciples and a group of guards, and slowly walked up the steps.
The four little ones saluted Yan Mo and walked down the steps to their seats.
Priest guards went to the back of the steps respectively.
Yuan Zhan stretched out his hand.
Yan Mo raised his eyebrows, what do you mean? But he stretched out his wrist anyway.
Yuan Zhan held his wrist, as if leading him, and led him to his side.
Next to the leader's seat, there is an identical seat, both of which are completely side by side, and are of the same size, only the patterns carved on it are different.
The two didn't sit down immediately, Yan Mo raised his scepter, emptied a little, and said with a solemn smile: "The glory of the ancestor god is with you and me, may the god of ancestor bless us."
The Jiuyuan people saluted together, "Thank you, sir, for your blessing!"
Only then did Yuan Zhan wave his hand, "Sit down."
Only then did everyone take their seats.
Ramona lost her composure, and she sat down not much slower than others when reminded by her attendant.
How could this young priest participate in such a banquet
No, it's not surprising that he participated as a priest, but how could he just sit next to the leader in such a grandiose manner
That should be the position of the leader's wife!
And what about the old priest? Why didn't he come to such an important occasion
Compared to Ramona, Snake Gallbladder's reaction was less noticeable, but he still squinted slightly at the boy.
And his thinking was similar to Ramona's, wondering why the old priest didn't come out.
Hehe, the old man is finally rejected, so what if he is a priest, with such disgusting and despicable thoughts, it is no wonder that this seemingly domineering wild leader can endure him for a long time! Who wants to be controlled? Who doesn't like younger people
If the old man didn't show up, he must have been replaced.
Snake dares to push others away, and always feels that Yuan Zhan must have used some unexplainable evil means when he replaced the old priest with the young man around him, but he must have done it cleanly, otherwise the witch will not be unresponsive.
In fact, She Dan is not sure if the old priest is still alive, but according to the news from Yincheng and other places, Yuan Zhan was not dead, and the old priest is 90% still alive, but now I can't see him, and I think he is still being killed. Killed, huh, huh!
