After the three-day wedding, Lin Shuo and his group continued to move forward.
The two princes also stayed in the Dingxiang Tower for three days, Lin Shuo was too lazy to socialize with them, so Miao Chengyun had to leave the job to Miao Chengyun.
As far as Mr. Miao's public relations ability is concerned, Lin Shuo can't match it. When he sees people talking nonsense, he can deal with it no matter whether the other party is a man or a woman, a technician or a prince.
When the two groups were parting, Lin Shuo was very puzzled when he found out that the eldest prince and the third prince actually called him brother.
After inquiring about it, I found out that just last night, Miao Chengyun and the eldest prince had sworn sworn brothers. The two became brothers of the opposite sex, and Mr. Miao indirectly became the adoptive son of the emperor of the Tianlan Empire.
What's even more exasperating is that Miao Chengyun also falsely reported his age and became the elder brother of the eldest prince.
And Lin Shuo is Miao Chengyun's younger brother, and Miao Chengyun falsely reported his age, so the two princes also called Lin Shuo their elder brother because of Miao Chengyun's relationship.
The two princes took Lin Shuo's hand. It was a repeated invitation, saying that they must go to the capital of the Tianlan Empire. First, let them show their friendship as landlords, and also let the emperor and Lin Shuo Miao Chengyun meet.
Seeing that Miao Chengyun handled the relationship for this sake, Lin Shuo couldn't refuse.
This trip to Middle-earth Forest did not pass through the capital of the Tianlan Empire, so he promised the two princes that he would visit him on his return trip after his affairs were settled.
The two groups bid farewell, and among them, Mo Xiya, the third prince's spy who had been placed beside Lin Shuo, was also withdrawn.
This trip, Lin Shuo will not take the car.
He got the mount of the Duke of Xiangshan, the black unicorn, and the leader of the hunting gate gave it a new name, Xiao Hei.
Riding Xiaohei on the road is more comfortable than riding in a car. Different species are different species, different from ordinary horses, especially stable.
Also riding on horseback in the team was Lun, the military commander of the Principality of Mia who also served as Artemis' bodyguard.
Of course, his bodyguard never showed up in Xiangshan Duke's mansion, let alone protecting his own duchess.
This can't be blamed on him, after all, he is only a ninth-rank archer, although he claims to have the strength of a four-character title, it is just a claim, if he really dared to stand up a few days ago, he would have disappeared.
Right now, he was riding a horse in the team. This guy was quite energetic. He was blond and blue-eyed. He was good-looking and smart. Seeing Lin Shuo on the horse, he looked a bit bored, so he said:
"Mr. Lin, the Xiangshan Principality matter is over.
According to the succession sequence of the Xiangshan Principality, once the Duke dies, the Principality will be the Queen of the current empire.
However, the queen will definitely not serve as the duchess herself, but will give it to a young prince.
Therefore, no matter how you look at it, it is impossible for the Xiangshan Principality to make plans for the Mia Principality for at least ten years.
Mr. Lin has done a good job in this matter. "
Listening to this man's words, Lin Shuo thought to himself that he was not next to each other, and the Duke of Xiangshan didn't kill himself, so this flattery was somewhat far-fetched.
The level of this person's flattery seems to be similar to that of Lao He. No wonder he didn't do well under Nemea before.
Just stretching out his hand and not hitting the smiling person, he finally got his wish, so Lin Shuo could only nod with a smile, and then didn't bother to talk to him.
Lun seemed to be very interested, and said: "You are now the husband of the Duke, the Duchy of Mia belongs to you and the Duke, and you are also my lord.
You are a foreigner, and you may not be very clear about the relationship between the lord of Daxizhou and his servants. Let me introduce it to you.
I am a baron, a lowly nobleman, your subordinate, and you my lord.
I am loyal to you, and you have to give me benefits, which is mutually beneficial.
Especially since we have just established the relationship between the lord and his subordinates, you should give one as a meeting gift. "
Lin Shuo thought that he was waiting for me here, so he asked, "What do you want?"
"Although I didn't dare to witness the confrontation between you and the national teacher before, the result is clear. You are a title-level master, and you are also my peers. They are all archers." Lun looked a little excited, "You don't know, don't look at Daxizhou's various professions have their own strengths, the status is equal in name.
But in fact, there is a chain of contempt in it. Take our warriors as an example, sword masters look down on sword and shield masters, sword and shield masters look down on spear and halberd masters, and spear and halberd masters look down on sword masters.
As for our archers, everyone looks down on us, saying that we only shoot cold arrows from a distance, and dare not fight people directly.
Now that Daxizhou has a bow master with a title like you, then our bow masters can be regarded as proud.
You see, as your first subordinate in the same industry, I am only the ninth rank, and I don't even have a title.
How embarrassing if this gets out, since you have such a good relationship with the royal family, can you... "
When Lun En said this, Lin Shuo understood, and said directly, "No."
"You..." Lun looked a little embarrassed.
"I spared your life on the top of the city wall because you were smart, at least you could see the situation clearly." Lin Shuo said flatly, "It's just that sometimes people can't be too smart."
"I don't understand what you mean." Len asked.
"I heard that your elder brother is an archer with a three-character title and a court guard of the Kingdom of Badia?" Lin Shuo asked.
Lun was startled for a moment, his expression changed drastically, he quickly got off his horse, knelt down and said loudly, "Lord, my brother is my brother, and I am me. You can't question my loyalty to the Principality of Mia because of this!"
"Don't worry, I don't have any friendship with you, I don't know you very well, and I won't live in the Principality of Mia in the future. So who you are loyal to has nothing to do with me." Lin Shuo stopped his horse and said to Lun, " It's just that after our team passes through the Principality of Xiangshan, the next stop is the territory directly under the Kingdom of Badia. Artemis will meet with her lord, the King of Badia. Who will you, Lun, be loyal to? , will have the opportunity to prove it once.”
Lun looked up at Lin Shuo, then at the carriage where Artemis was, and nodded heavily: "I will prove it to the two lords."
"Okay, get up." Lin Shuo waved his hand.
…
That night, the team stayed in a small border town in Xiangshan Principality.
Compared with Xiangshan City, the capital of the Principality of Xiangshan, this place is a bit remote, but Shengzai is very quiet at night.
People here don't have any other recreational activities after dark, they just go to the kang to sleep with their wives.
Naturally, Lin Shuo did as the Romans did. After eating the dried griffin meat, he slept in the hotel room early.
Lin Shuo planned to really sleep tonight. He was almost exhausted by the Fifth Madam a few days ago, so he recovered his blood anyway.
As soon as he lay down, Lin Shuo was asking Su Dongdong to rub his stomach. The dried meat was soaked in water and swelled, and his stomach was uncomfortably full, when the door rang.
Su Dongdong looked reluctant, but still stood up and opened the door for the visitor.
Artemis walked in angrily, sat down beside Lin Shuo's bed, and slapped Lin Shuo's belly.
The leader of the Hunting Gate sat up with an "ow" and stared at Artemis: "Just talk about it if you have something to say, why do you beat someone?"
Artemis rubbed her sore palm from the shock, panting and pursing her mouth without speaking.
When Lin Shuo saw the woman's expression, he understood it in his heart, but he had to pretend to be confused and asked, "What's the matter?"
"Hmph!" Artemis snorted coldly and turned his face away.
Su Dongdong couldn't stand watching anymore: "If you don't want to talk, then don't waste the time of our husband and wife, go back to the house."
Lin Shuo waved his hand, telling the Fourth Madam not to provoke this woman, and said, "Senior Sister, if you have anything to say, just talk about it."
The corners of Artemis' mouth trembled, and he said, "Yes, I'm your senior sister now, not your wife, so I have no reason to be angry with you. But even if our previous marriage was fake, you have to do all the acting. Bar
It's been a few nights, you haven't been to my house, how do you let the people below see me
Oh, rush to be a concubine, and then fall out of favor as soon as you get married, the husband stays in the big wife's house every day. "
Hearing these words, Lin Shuo looked a little embarrassed.
What people say is not unreasonable, but I really can't do it.
A real wife can't be pampered, so who can care about you, a fake.
"Then how about...you stay here tonight, don't go back to the house." The leader of the hunting gate suggested, "You are young anyway. From outsiders' point of view, it is normal for you to enter the house to serve your husband."
"You!" Artemis' face was livid, "Lin Shuo! Don't bully me too much!"
"Aren't you very happy before, the Xiangshan Duke's Mansion meditates in my room every night." Lin Shuo scratched his head, puzzled, "What's wrong now?"
"I..." Artemis hesitated to speak, "Anyway, I'm not happy now."
"Oh..." Lin Shuo nodded, "Then please go back, I'm sleepy."
Artemis trembled with anger, stood up and left.
When the person walked to the door, she stopped again, touching her chest, as if to comfort herself, muttering softly: "Don't get angry, don't get angry..."
After chanting a few words like this, she came back when she recovered her breath, and sat next to Lin Shuo's bed again, looking at the leader of the Liemen.
"Senior Sister, what exactly do you want?" Lin Shuo rolled his eyes.
"Why did you say those things to Lun today?" Artemis asked, "I sounded like I was testing Lun's loyalty to me. Are you caring about me?"
Lin Shuo said helplessly: "I want to ensure the safety of your trip, Senior Sister, so of course I can't let go of Lun's suspicion. This person's behavior before was quite abnormal. If he doesn't figure out this point clearly, we may turn over in the gutter later. .”
"Then have you figured it out?" Artemis asked.
"How can you figure out people's hearts in just a few words?" Lin Shuo said, "I just told him that I noticed him, and let him weigh it himself."
"I figured it out a long time ago." Artemis said, "He is the spy of the Kingdom of Badia in the Principality of Mia."
Lin Shuo looked very calm: "That's because I'm busy, please go back, senior sister."
"Why are you like this?" Artemis complained, "I'm telling you something."
"Then tell me."
"The kingdom of Badia is very deep." Artemis said, "it is the most powerful kingdom in the Tianlan Empire, and the royal family is powerful enough to rival the royal family.
This is a kingdom where the native nation is the ruling class. If the national teacher Chen Tiangang hadn't taken action, it would be difficult to say which royal family is the royal family.
Originally, the Principality of Xiangshan was regarded as an important pawn of the Tianlan royal family. As the strongest principality in the Kingdom of Badia, it was used to contain the Kingdom of Badia.
Even when the emperor asked the third prince to get engaged to me, the future heir of the Principality of Mia, the port was not important at that time, which is actually the reason.
And it is precisely because of the royal family's fear of the Badiya Kingdom that the emperor could not handle the port issue of the Principality of Mia in person, otherwise the two sides would directly tear each other apart.
But now that the Duke of Xiangshan dies, the Principality of Xiangshan will be inherited by a young prince. In order to stabilize the domestic situation, it is inevitable that the earls and lords will be entrusted to stabilize the people. The decline of the Principality of Xiangshan as a whole will be inevitable. exists.
And I, the Duchess of Mia, also regretted my marriage with the third prince and married you.
Therefore, it is not surprising that the Kingdom of Badia will try its best to take back the Principality of Mia and the Principality of Xiangshan, integrate the kingdom's power, and pull the surrounding allies to challenge the Tianlan Empire.
And as the Duchess of Mia, I have to face this matter head-on, so I chose this route, passing by the capital of the Badia Kingdom, to meet with the king. "
"All in all, the duchess was caught again, and I was the bodyguard again. As for the reward for this transaction, you still took me to find my mother." Lin Shuo said, "Artemis, I can see it." , you are blackmailing me now."
"I've already married you as a concubine, so what else?" Artemis pouted.
"It's as true as it sounds." Lin Shuo said, "I'm called a disadvantage."
"Then you want to become real?" Artemis narrowed his eyes, winking all of a sudden.
"I don't want to." Lin Shuo shook his head like a rattle.
"If you don't want to, just be my bodyguard honestly. Otherwise, I'll be with Xiao Wu and get you done. Anyway, she supports me, Xiao Liu." Artemis said, "As far as your current God Can the mind barrier stop me from joining forces with Xiao Wu?"
"No." Lin Shuo was almost speechless, "How can you, a woman, threaten people like this?"
"Hmph! Do you think I want to do this?" Artemis glared at Lin Shuo, got up and walked away angrily.
