The leader of the hunting gate came out of the dungeon and was going back to his room to sleep.
This way of eating a griffon a day is a little bit reluctant even with Lin Shuo's appetite. His stomach is so full that he has to lie on the bed and let the third or fourth lady rub his belly.
As a result, as soon as he walked halfway, a figure flickered in front of him, and a slender woman stood in front of Lin Shuo.
Moxie, the proprietress of the hotel, blocked Lin Shuo's way: "Master Deputy Ambassador, shall we go out and have a chat?"
"What do you have to talk to me about?" Lin Shuo said puzzled, "You should go to Master Zhengshi."
Moxia smiled bitterly: "Your Excellency is busy right now, so it's inconvenient for me to go in and disturb you."
Only then did Lin Shuo recall that he had heard that the High Priest of the Principality of Mia, Amphitrite, had sent six priestesses to Miao Chengyun tonight, so he must be busy.
So Lin Shuo said, "There's no need to go outside, just go to my room."
In the middle of the night, a man suggested to a woman to talk in the house, which obviously misunderstood Moxie.
The woman looked a little strange, and said: "Who does the deputy envoy think of me, Moxiya? Since I have already talked to the envoy..."
Lin Shuo quickly waved his hand: "Who do you think I am? I brought my wife with me this trip, and I went out to chat with you in the middle of the night. How can I explain it to my wife? So you go to my room, and my wife is also there. "
"Oh." Moxie seemed a little embarrassed, "Alright then."
The two met in the corridor, only two steps away from Lin Shuo's room.
In the past two days, the Queen Mother of the West did not know whether it was the pressure from the Bodhisattva on her that had been relieved, or whether it was because she had learned from Lin Shuo after her bridal chamber, and basically projected her consciousness over every night.
In the beginning, it was the second half of the night, and in the first half of the night, Su Dongdong waited on Lin Shuo. Later, Queen Mother Xi couldn't wait any longer, and came in the middle of the night.
For this reason, Lin Shuo criticized her, telling her to respect Su Dongdong's own wishes, and don't think about saying it all the time.
In the end, instead of accepting the criticism, she even blamed Lin Shuo for being ignorant.
It is said that the growth of their Houtu clan's power is not achieved through practice, but through mating and reproduction.
Queen Mother Xi's consciousness projected to work with Lin Shuo, just to give him strength, and at the same time, Su Dongdong was not at a disadvantage.
With Queen Xi's mother guarding the gate, her body was also undergoing transformation, especially after Lin Shuo ate the griffin, and indirectly obtained a very small amount of celestial master power, so Queen Mother Xi was able to attract Su Dongdong.
Therefore, Lin Shuo and Su Dongdong benefited from this incident, and Queen Mother Xi was purely doing good deeds.
When the Fourth Madam said so much, Lin Shuo couldn't continue talking about her.
Of course, he also knew that Queen Mother Xi came over so actively recently, mainly because she was greedy for her own body, otherwise there was no need to make such a big noise when doing business, making Miao Chengyun next door a joke.
Lin Shuo brought Moxiya into the house tonight, and Queen Mother Xi was waiting on the bed.
She looked at Moxia who entered the room with her husband, the purple flames in her eyes flashed away, and said with a smile: "Hey, so this is how to play tonight? Do you want to add another person?"
When Moxiya heard this, her face paled, and she turned around and left.
Lin Shuo quickly stopped her and explained, "My wife is quite humorous, so don't take it seriously when she's joking."
Moxia looked at Lin Shuo warily, and said in a deep voice, "Whether it's the chief envoy or the deputy envoy, it's not a good thing. If it wasn't for fate, I really don't want to deal with you."
Lin Shuo first waved his hand to signal the Queen Mother of the West to stop talking, and then said to Moxiya: "I have told you all about your fate, it seems that you have no intention of continuing to hide your identity, tell me, what do you want to say to me? "
"You should have already guessed my identity. I didn't intend to hide it from you." Moxie said, "But when will you tell me your identity? I know, you are not a mission."
"How do you know?" Lin Shuo asked.
Mo Xiya said: "You guys are all powerful, even in the capital, you shouldn't be unknown, but I have served in the capital's Overwatch Council for many years, and I know all the information of the court's civil and military officials. You people."
"Your judgment is very accurate." Lin Shuo didn't intend to hide it when he heard this, and said, "But you are so smart, aren't you afraid that you won't be able to get out of this room?"
"Not afraid." Moxie said calmly.
"Why?"
"Because I'm looking for you tonight, just to make the mission turn from a fake to a real one," Mosia said.
"Go on."
"But before that, you must first tell me who you are." Moxie said, "In this way, we can judge whether we should trust you."
"If you want to know who we are, then you have to tell us first, besides being a spy of the Overwatch Council, who else do you represent?" Lin Shuo asked.
"In this matter, I can represent the head of the Overwatch Council, that is, the third prince of the empire, His Highness Prometheus." Moxie said.
Lin Shuo was not surprised by this, so he nodded and said, "We were hired by Artemis."
"Why hire? How long?"
"Hired to help her become the Duke of Mia, and the deadline is until the goal is achieved."
"Okay." Moxie said, "Then I will report to my superiors immediately and let you become a real mission first. This can be regarded as our sincerity for cooperation in the future."
…
After Moxiya left, Lin Shuo lay sprawled on the bed and asked Queen Mother Xi to rub his stomach.
As the patriarch of the dignified Houtu clan and the supreme leader of a civilization, Queen Mother Xi seemed dissatisfied with this job, her hands were too strong, and she was not as comfortable as Su Dongdong doing it by herself.
But Lin Shuo knew that it would be good if she was willing to do it, so she didn't like to praise or criticize her, so she just endured it.
"That woman, do you really believe her?" Queen Mother Xi asked, "What if she got information from you and went straight to Nemea?"
"Originally, I was really worried about this matter." Lin Shuo smiled, "But after hearing what you said, I feel relieved."
"Why?"
"Because Dongdong has good ears, you can't hide the movement of the whole castle from her." Lin Shuo said, "You are occupying her body now, and you have the ability in this aspect. If that was the case, you wouldn't talk to me like this gone."
"You're the only one with a lot of ghosts." The Queen Mother of the West gave Lin Shuo a blank look, "But even if she really wants to give you the status of an official mission, can she do such a thing
She was just a spy of the Overwatch Council, and even the head of the Overwatch Council was just a third prince, not an emperor.
For such a big matter as entrusting a mission, does a prince have such authority? "
Lin Shuo looked at Queen Mother Xi with some surprise: "You know a lot about human politics?"
"How many years have you lived, and how many years have I lived?" The Queen Mother of the West said, "In order to observe you humans, I have possessed many people, including all levels of Chinese and Western civilizations. By the way, you are the only one in Chinese history. A female emperor, that was when I... "
"Okay, okay, don't talk about it." Lin Shuo shook his head, "Otherwise, thinking about your age, I might lose interest for a while."
"I hate it!" Queen Mother Xi patted Lin Shuo's stomach, "Don't call me old!"
Lin Shuo gritted his teeth in pain, and quickly brought back the topic: "You are right, no matter what kind of official position the third prince holds, as long as he is not the emperor, he will not have the authority to appoint missions to represent the will of the empire. Moxi Yaneng's promise like this shows that the emperor and the third prince are in the same will on this matter, so the third prince can invite the emperor's order."
"If this is the case, it should not be just a matter of Artemis." Queen Mother Xi nodded, "It is the entire Principality of Mia, which is being targeted by the emperor."
"Normal." Lin Shuo said, "If you are an emperor under the enfeoffment system, of course you would hope that the territory under your direct control should be as large as possible.
However, under the enfeoffment system, even the emperor cannot have too many earl territories directly under his jurisdiction, otherwise it will be difficult to win people's hearts.
Since the land was to be divided, as the emperor, of course he wanted the land to be cut into pieces as much as possible.
Because in this way, the power of a single prince will not be so strong and will not threaten the imperial power. At the same time, the many princes will also have a strong restraint on each other, which is convenient for the emperor to mediate and further buy people's hearts.
If the Principality of Mia is broken up and turned into several counties, this is obviously what the emperor would like to see. "
Queen Mother Xi shook her head and said with a smile, "Your judgment is wrong."
"Oh?" Lin Shuo quickly sat up and asked for advice, "Please advise."
"We are already husband and wife, don't be so divided." The Queen Mother of the West stretched out her hand and pushed Lin Shuo down on the bed, continued to rub Lin Shuo's stomach, and said, "It's just that if it's like what you said, the game of chess in the Principality of Mia , it is already a dead game for us.
Because they wanted to break up the Duchy of Mia, the royal family had to take back the title of Duke of Mia.
So how do you complete Artemis' commission
The duke's seat is gone, how can you help her snatch it
And if you force yourself, then your enemy is the power of the royal family of the Tianlan Empire. Judging from the current situation, the royal power of an empire in Daxizhou is not something you can directly contend with. "
"This is what I'm worrying about." Lin Shuo said, "The situation wasn't so clear at first, but after Moxiya talked to me tonight, the situation has indeed become like this.
I'm stalling here just to expose the people behind Mosiah.
Now the third prince has been exposed, but it's a bit difficult for me.
If he really wanted to help his fiancée Artemis, why did he go there a long time ago and send someone to cooperate with us now, he must have other plans.
And since he also represents the will of the emperor, the result will be the same as you said before, and it will be difficult for us to contend head-on. "
"So, you have to understand what the purpose of the emperor of the Tianlan Empire is." Xi Wangmu said, "Is it just to break up a certain vassal state
For the entire Tianlan Empire, the Principality of Mia is not a big prince, and it is not even directly subordinate to the princes.
Don't forget, above the Principality of Mia, there is also the Kingdom of Badia.
Even if the emperor wants to attack the princes, shouldn't he attack the kingdom of Badia
Why do you care about a small Principality of Mia
Only when you understand these things can you accurately judge Emperor Tianlan's intentions and be qualified to deal with him. "
"Taught." Lin Shuo nodded, then fell into deep thought.
As a result, as soon as he entered the state of concentrating, he found that Queen Mother Xi's hands had begun to be dishonest.
"If you want to think about it, you have to wait until midnight. At that time, Su Dongdong can accompany you to think about it." Queen Mother Xi sneered, "Now is my time, let's hurry up."
