It seems that Tang Kede's life is not worth dying.
After the medicinal soup was brewed by Miao Chengyun and Lin Shuo, it was dark and bitter.
Miao Chengyun walked to the hospital bed with the decoction, and said that "good medicine tastes bitter and is good for the disease", and even deceived, let Tang Kede drink it down.
That night, Tang Kede was moaning, and the sound stopped at dawn. Lin Shuo thought the man was out of breath, and when he went in, he found that he was asleep.
Tang Kede slept until noon, opened his eyes and said he was hungry and wanted something to eat.
When I touched my forehead, my fever disappeared, and my eyelids were not swollen. This sudden illness came and went quickly.
Pang Weiser was grateful to Dade, saying that Mr. Miao was the reincarnation of a miracle doctor.
Mr. Miao looked very modest, and he said a few polite words in a feigned manner, and then left with a fairy-like demeanor.
Lin Shuo looked at this man's light and light gait, and really wanted to give him a kick in the ass.
Anyway, the matter was settled. After lunch, Lin Shuo saw that Tang Kede was fine, so the team set off to Badia City, thirty miles away.
The road is not too far away, so there is no need to be in a hurry on this journey. The carriage will go slowly so as not to make people sick again.
Lin Shuo rode Xiao Hei and walked beside Artemis' carriage. Artemis opened the curtains and told Lin Shuo about the situation of the Badia Kingdom.
At the beginning of the founding of the Principality of Mia, Artemis' father was a general of the empire and had military merits. His title of duke was directly conferred by the Tianlan Empire. The Principality also directly belonged to the Tianlan Empire and had nothing to do with the Badia Kingdom.
Thirty years ago, when Artemis was seven years old, he did not know what deal the Tianlan royal family had reached with the Badia royal family, so he gave the powerful vassal Duke Mia to King Badia .
At the same time, Artemis, who was practicing far away in the foggy forest, was also engaged without knowing it, and the object was the third prince of the empire.
Since then, the Principality of Mia has belonged to the Kingdom of Badia. In name at least, King Bardia is the lord of the Duke of Mia.
So Artemis, the Duchess of Mia, is only called so in private now, and the real title has not yet come down. She had to come to Badia City to meet her lord, who would confer the title of duke on her.
This is the reason why Artemis made this trip on the surface, and Artemis' real appeal was also told to Lin Shuo before, not only to officially confer the title, but also to ensure that the Kingdom of Badiya will not Go to the idea of the Principality of Mia.
In Lin Shuo's understanding, this matter is to do a good job of two words, deterrence.
It's useless to reason about this kind of thing, you have to show your claws to make others afraid.
But now the Principality of Mia, except for one thing, has nothing else to offer.
That is the strength of top practitioners.
And the Kingdom of Badia itself is not bad in this aspect. Artemis' statement once again confirms Miao Chengyun's information. In addition to the two sub-sages guarding the field, there are also eight masters with two-character titles. As for the three-character There are more four-character characters.
Lin Shuo was on the horse. Hearing what Artemis said, he felt that he owed this woman a lot in his previous life, otherwise why would he be unclean in this life
"Let me explain in advance." Lin Shuo sighed, "You're called a casual sale, a small sale within a big sale, and according to our rules, the price must be increased."
"Then what do you want?" Artemis smiled.
"Not ready yet."
"Then tell me after you've made up your mind." Artemis said, "No matter what it is, as long as you can say it, I'll get it out."
…
A kingdom is different from a principality.
The Principality is equivalent to an autonomous province, especially the Principality of Mia. Except for Earl Xilan's port trade, which is relatively rich, other places are farming. There is not much area suitable for farming, and life is very tight. of.
The establishment can be saved, and there is not much administrative ability in the actual sense, so it can barely collect some taxes.
Kingdom, that is a serious country, and the Kingdom of Badia is almost an empire after all, and it can be regarded as the top three powers among the kingdoms of Daxizhou.
Therefore, not only the scale of the capital is huge, but also the institutions are readily available.
For lords like the Duchess of Mia who came to visit the king, Badia City has a special reception department, which is equivalent to the Honglu Temple in ancient China. The name here is Farin Shuo, which sounds familiar, and it is called a guest house.
The convoy arrived at the gate of Badia City in the evening. When the gate guard asked about his identity, he arranged for soldiers to lead the convoy directly to the guest house in Nancheng.
The director of the guest house was in charge of receiving the Duchess of Mia, and then said that he would report to the king early tomorrow morning to see when the two parties would formally meet.
Artemis was a little preoccupied along the way, but when she got there, she looked at ease.
After everyone had dinner, the duchess went back to her room early to rest. Before leaving, she hooked her fingers at Lin Shuo, which meant to let Lin Shuo follow.
Lin Shuo pretended not to see it, and went back to the room with Su Dongdong.
After lying on the bed for a while, Su Dongdong sighed: "You should go there and see what she wants to tell you."
"No." Lin Shuo had a conflicted expression on his face, "You can't come to me if you have anything to say. If you insist on me going, you can't spoil her like this."
"Then I'll go there for you and ask her." Su Dongdong sat up, "Just in case she has something serious to do."
Seeing Su Dongdong's statement, Lin Shuo couldn't say anything more, thinking that his daughter-in-law still knows the general situation, so he could only touch his wife's back: "Then you go ask her."
Su Dongdong then went to Artemis' room, which was actually next door.
The two women next door didn't know what to say, after about ten minutes, two figures slid into the window of Lin Shuo's room.
Lin Shuoren was almost falling asleep on the bed, and he was startled when he saw the two people in front of the window.
The two women were dressed in black, which was night clothes, and they were dressed as if they were going to rob a house.
The leader of the hunting gate frowned: "What do you want to do?"
"Break into the palace at night," Artemis said.
"Are you sick? Don't sleep well at night." Lin Shuo rolled his eyes, "Tomorrow will be a formal meeting, and they will naturally show their cards, and then they will understand. Do we need to go tonight?"
"This matter, I think Artemis just told me that it makes sense." Su Dongdong said, "It's useless to show the cards tomorrow. Because Artemis only needs to leave the Principality of Mia when he turns around. We will also go back at that time, so this deterrence will no longer exist. Instead of this, we might as well cancel the cards of the Badiya Kingdom first."
When Lin Shuo heard this, he sucked his teeth: "Artemis, why did you leave the Principality of Mia in the future?"
"Don't ask about that." Su Dongdong said, "Anyway, she has her own arrangements, so I decided to act with her tonight, will you come?"
Lin Shuo looked depressed, thinking that his daughter-in-law didn't know what was going on, and instead of listening to himself, she insisted on listening to an outsider.
But since Su Dongdong made such a statement, Lin Shuo had no choice but to get up and get dressed.
"You wear this." Artemis said while throwing the clothes she had prepared long ago on Lin Shuo's bed.
Lin Shuo saw that it was another set of night clothes, which was premeditated.
While speaking, Miao Chengyun's voice came from outside the window: "Hey, these clothes are not bad. Is there anything suitable for me?"
…
For Lin Shuo, jumping over the eaves and walls of other people's roofs at night is like a mountain.
This is the ability of the snitches and assassins in the door, and the hunter is definitely not professional.
People stepped on the roof, like a cat, silent.
As for the Lin family's slanted willows, of course they are fast, but the movement under their feet is like thunder. If they really want to run on the roof of someone's house, it must be that the house has collapsed.
There is no interest in interlacing, and things you are not good at can be played for fun, but not really for business.
So tonight, being dragged to the palace for an assassination, Lin Shuo felt a little bit conflicted, but he couldn't do it if he didn't go with him. His daughter-in-law was going, and he had to protect her.
As for the daughter-in-law Su Dongdong, who is the most professional assassin in the world, it is easy to fly over the walls, she said she was going to stand in front of the palace, and touched the defenses in the palace, and then disappeared the other three in a blink of an eye.
Lin Shuo, Miao Chengyun, and Artemis were hurrying on the roof at the moment.
If they are all wearing night clothes, it is tantamount to sticking the word "snitch" on their foreheads, and they cannot follow the normal path, otherwise they will be seen by the patrolling soldiers and have to fight.
But if they were driving on the roof without making any noise, the three of them were all laymen.
So walk carefully and tiptoe.
This is the southern city area of Badia City. The buildings are connected together and are generally low. The majestic and towering palace is to the north. This time, the distance in a straight line is only 20 miles.
The three of them walked on the roof for a while, and Lin Shuo realized something was wrong, and then stopped.
"Lin Shuo, what are you doing?" Miao Chengyun was very depressed, "Oh, I'm really tired. One of you is thoughtless and the other is unhappy. This team really can't be led."
Lin Shuo rolled his eyes and pointed to Artemis: "First, take a look at what shoes she is wearing."
When Miao Chengyun saw it, he also raised his hands, not wanting to move forward.
Artemis was puzzled: "What's wrong?"
"My good sister." Miao Chengyun looked helpless, "You have already prepared night clothes for us, but you don't know how to prepare a pair of suitable shoes for yourself? These are high-heeled leather boots for you."
"My shoes are like this, is there a problem?" Artemis looked puzzled.
Miao Chengyun said: "I won't talk about why you, a woman who is 1.9 meters tall, still wear high heels. It's your own business whether you want to marry. If you can’t touch the ground, you will be a burden if you can’t use your calf to exert strength, so you might as well go back and wait for the news.”
"But I have to go." Artemis said, "Only a psychic like me can completely shield your psychic fluctuations and prevent the masters in the palace from discovering you. Otherwise, once you reach the depths of the palace, , will definitely be exposed."
"Then take off your shoes." Lin Shuo said.
"Then how can I do it?" Artemis blushed and said softly, "The feet are the most private parts of us Daxizhou women..."
The three of them were talking when Su Dongdong came back.
"Oh, you three, I'm also drunk. Not only did I forget all my abilities when I got to the roof, but I also lost my mind." Su Dongdong pointed at Artemis, "You, you stick out the heel of your shoe."
Then the fourth wife of the Lin family pointed at Miao Chengyun again: "Also, is your Yang gossip fake?"
"It's a fake one." Miao Chengyun patted his chest.
"Then use Xunfeng to support them, and tell these two people to go faster." Su Dongdong said, "I have figured out the city defense, you follow me."
Professionals are different, and the arrangement is clear in a few words.
Then, ten minutes later, Lin Shuo and the others floated into the palace of Badia like fallen leaves.
Miao Chengyun looked excited: "Hey, Lin Shuo, who do you think is appropriate for us to kill this trip?"
"What do you think?" Lin Shuo asked back.
"I think it's all here, so it's better to kill them all."
"Okay, you go and kill them, and the three of us will let you out."
