Chapter 54 This Is Life
The old eunuch felt a little wary in his heart, but there was nothing unusual on the surface. He smiled and said,
"Your Majesty, you are very considerate."
The Queen Mother gave the old eunuch a thoughtful look, and then said calmly,
"How's your contact with the Angel Clan going?"
"When will they be willing to talk to the Ghost Beast Tribe!"
The old eunuch showed a wry smile at this time, and then said,
"The Queen Mother, I have already contacted the people from the Angel Clan, but they said that the Ghost Beast Clan is coming this time and they may not give up so easily."
"They suggested that we give up completely and meet the requirements of the Ghost Beast Clan in those places in the northeast. They can guarantee that the Ghost Beast Clan will not have any more demands in the future."
"It's just that they need us to develop a few more ports to sell fairy ointment."
After hearing this, the Queen Mother suddenly showed a trace of anger on her face.
"That's nonsense! How could these wolfish ambitions of the Ghost Beast Tribe give up!"
"I think it's because they have a secret quarrel with the Ghost Beast Clan! That's why they came to act as lobbyists for the other party!"
"And they themselves are at war with some demon tribe, and I'm afraid they have too much time to take care of themselves now!"
Having said this, the Queen Mother frowned slightly and asked,
"Can you contact those demons?"
The old eunuch shook his head slightly and said,
"Your Majesty, the whereabouts of those demons are mysterious, and they are different from us strangers, so it is really difficult to contact them."
The Queen Mother sighed and said,
"In that case, that's it, just agree to their demands."
“There’s always peace for a moment.”
The old eunuch immediately said yes, and then said with a smile,
"Your Majesty, it's time to eat now. The people below have prepared some local lake fish,"
The Queen Mother was not very interested, she waved her hand and said,
"It's just some lake fish, what's there to eat?"
Then he snorted coldly,
"These people below are becoming less and less dedicated to their work."
In terms of eating, drinking and enjoying, ordinary things really can't catch her eye.
The old eunuch showed a smile and said,
"Your Majesty, there is something unusual about the lake fish this time. Although it is a lake fish, it has only one main thorn in its body."
"It only exists in the deepest part of the lake. It's very difficult to catch one. Just this time, I heard it cost the lives of several fishermen."
After hearing this, the Queen Mother raised her eyebrows, said "oh" and said,
"It's rare that they still have such filial piety, so take it over."
The old eunuch suddenly shouted outside with a smile, and a young eunuch came in carrying a plate of fish.
The Queen Mother took a chopstick and put it into her mouth, then closed her eyes and tasted it carefully before showing a smile and saying,
"There's still a bit of flavor here."
Naturally, she doesn't like ordinary fish. If this thing tastes really delicious, it doesn't.
But if you think about it, this one fish is worth several human lives, and naturally there is some flavor in it. This flavor is the flavor of power.
Seeing that the Queen Mother was eating lightly, the old eunuch beat the Queen Mother's legs and said,
"Queen Mother, regarding the construction of the garden at the back, I have some good recommendations from this old slave."
"They are all reliable people."
Although they escaped from the capital this time, they must have a place to stay later. One or two palaces will definitely not be enough.
The Queen Mother has ordered that more gardens be built.
Of course he wouldn't miss such an opportunity.
The Queen Mother said casually,
"I'll leave it to you. It's just that you have to be more responsible for the money to build the garden."
The old eunuch returned quickly and smiled,
"Queen Mother, don't worry. I see that bunch of trash in the military department. They spend so much money every year, but they can't even defeat the Ghost Beast Clan. It's useless to give it to them. Why don't we put it behind and let you live?" Gotta get comfortable.”
When the military headquarters was mentioned, the Queen Mother couldn't help showing a look of disgust.
"If these people weren't useless, the Ai family wouldn't have asked them to retreat directly and be scolded behind their backs."
The old eunuch quickly comforted him,
"Queen Mother, calm down, how can those ordinary people understand your good intentions? It is great wisdom to retreat without fighting!"
"There is no victory or defeat without fighting. The Ghost Beast Clan must also consider the consequences of offending us."
The Queen Mother then showed a satisfied look, nodded, pointed to the plate of fish in front of her and said,
"Send it to the emperor to make him feel at ease."
The old eunuch praised again,
"The Queen Mother is kind."
Then he led the people away from here. After leaving the tent, the old eunuch slowly breathed a sigh of relief.
Although his queen mother's cultivation was average, she was indeed unrivaled when it came to playing with power.
He, a 7th-level practitioner, was managed obediently by the other party.
After gathering himself, the old eunuch quickly led the people to another tent not far away.
A young man with a gloomy face was inside,
The old eunuch said with a smile on his face,
"Your Majesty, the Queen Mother asked the old slave to bring some food over."
"A rare local lake fish."
After saying that, he was served a plate of fish, but the next moment, the young man angrily knocked the plate to the ground and said,
"Now that we have all been driven out of the capital, we have become the laughing stock of the whole world! Why can we still eat fish!"
Facing this scene, the little eunuchs were so frightened that they lay on the ground trembling.
The old eunuch said calmly,
"Your Majesty, this is just a parade. What's so funny about it?"
The young man said with a bit of anger at this time,
"Cruise! It's okay to lie to yourself. Who doesn't know that he was kicked out!"
"When will mother retreat?"
Hearing this, the old eunuch couldn't help but frowned.
"Your Majesty, be careful what you say!"
"The Queen Mother is also doing this for Your Majesty's benefit."
The young man became more and more manic at this time.
"For my good, for my good!"
"I have been saying this for so many years, that I will not be allowed to govern personally!"
"How can we explain to our ancestors now that we have lost so much of our ancestors' place!"
Seeing that the other party was getting more and more excited as he talked, the old eunuch frowned and leaned forward slightly.
A pressure was released, making the young man hesitate.
But the next moment, a pale yellow dragon shadow flashed past, and the old eunuch couldn't help but take a few steps back.
Finally, he whispered to himself in a somewhat disbelieving voice,
"True dragon spirit!"
Although his strength far exceeds that of his opponent, this true dragon energy is completely different. It can transcend stages and directly hurt people.
It seems that the true dragon mirror is on the opponent's body.
The young man didn't seem to notice it and was still complaining.
"Now everyone is looking at the joke of the royal family, how can there be any majesty left from now on!"
The old eunuch took a deep breath, put on a smile and said,
"Your Majesty, calm down. The Queen Mother has said it this time. Nowadays, several aristocratic families are ready to make moves. If they really dare to do stupid things, the Queen Mother will ask you to use the True Dragon Mirror to suppress them and show the majesty of the royal family!"
After hearing this, the young man calmed down slightly, touched his chest, and then said,
"I have long said that none of these aristocratic families can be trusted, so we should squeeze them out and send them to fight to the death against the Ghost Beast Clan."
"Otherwise, it wouldn't be the disaster it is today!"
The old eunuch gave a bitter smile. The His Majesty in front of him was really too young.
He is also extremely impulsive in doing things. Who doesn't know that these aristocratic families are not good for Daqian?
But from the moment Daqian was established, we could only compromise with the big families.
Wherever it is said that it will be solved, it will be solved, but at this time we can only advise the other party to do it,
"Your Majesty is right, but now that the matter has come to this, you should listen to the Queen Mother and make preparations in advance."
The young man waved his hands a little irritably and said,
"Okay, I understand. With the True Dragon Mirror in hand, these people can't make any trouble!"
Then he continued to ask,
"By the way, we are about to enter Zhou Province. Have you told that little girl from the Wu family about that!"
The old eunuch replied with a smile,
"Your Majesty, we have sent people to deliver the message. They will greet us at the border when the time comes."
"It's their honor that you can take a liking to that little girl from the Wu family!"
The young man nodded and said,
"Okay, you go down."
The old eunuch left here after he had people clean up.
The moment he left this tent, the old eunuch's waist instantly straightened up.
When he returned to his tent, several young eunuchs were already waiting there groveling. When they saw him, they immediately gathered around him and shouted, "
"Eunuch Li, thank you for your hard work!"
"Fine and food have been prepared for you. Come and have a rest."
Eunuch Li nodded with satisfaction. In front of the Queen Mother and Her Majesty, he was a groveling old eunuch, but in front of others, he was the Eunuch Li who kept his word and had superb cultivation!
Everyone will act based on his face.
After entering the tent, he found the fish that had just been presented to the Queen Mother on the table. It seemed to be larger, but he raised his eyebrows deliberately and said,
"Why is this fish bigger than the one I just offered? Doesn't this make our family look ugly!?"
Hearing these seemingly troublesome words, the little eunuch couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, and then quickly slapped himself on the ear and said,
"Oh, Eunuch Li, you see, I already remember you in my heart, how can I think of you so much."
"Just thinking about it, the Queen Mother usually eats a lot of delicacies from mountains and seas. This rare wild fun will keep you in mind."
"It's a small mistake and deserves a beating!"
With that said, he slapped himself again.
Eunuch Li laughed a few times and said quickly,
"Okay, okay. Although you didn't do this well, you still have some filial piety."
"Our family accepted it."
Upon hearing this, the little eunuch knelt down and said,
"If this small act of filial piety can be known to you, I will be satisfied even if I die."
The smile on Eunuch Li's face became brighter and brighter.
"That's all. Since you are so filial, I'll let you call me godfather."
The little eunuch burst into tears at this time.
"You are my biological father!"
Eunuch Li couldn't help but smile from ear to ear this time. Of course he knew that the other party was just a follower.
But what does it matter? What he wants is this kind of villain,
After being served with wine and food,
Eunuch Li stretched his body and then said,
"Are you ready for tonight?"
The little eunuch said with a strange smile,
"Dad, don't worry, I've prepared it for you a long time ago. Just enjoy it."
After saying that, he led the people back out. Not long after, a fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl with a frightened face was pushed in.
Standing in front of Eunuch Li, after finally regaining consciousness, he timidly said,
"I've met noble people."
She didn't know the identity of the other party, but she knew that what she saw today were noble people countless times more noble than her status.
Eunuch Li looked at the other party, and then asked in a high-pitched voice,
"How old are you this year?"
The girl lowered her head and returned,
"fifteen."
Eunuch Li nodded, stretched out his hand to hold the other person's arm, and felt goosebumps rise in his arms.
Then he said greedily,
"15 is fine, but still a virgin?"
The girl suppressed the fear in her heart, forced a smile and said,
"My lord, yes."
Hearing this, Eunuch Li showed a ferocious smile on his face, and the next moment, his withered hands grabbed the girl's throat,
With a frightened expression on his face, he gradually became stiff,
After doing this, Eunuch Li dropped the girl as if throwing away straw, took a deep breath, and said with a look of enjoyment,
"She is indeed a virgin."
The method he practices is of course Yinxie, and he has progressed so quickly that he has become a rare master.
It is because every day I have to absorb a virgin girl under the age of 16 that I can maintain this progress.
This is why his focus on the royal family has never been suspected, because without the royal family as a cover, his behavior would have been attacked by all practitioners!
In any case, he has enjoyed all the glory and wealth in his life, even if the situation in Daqian is critical now,
But what does it have to do with these people?
It is only the common people who are suffering. The common people have been suffering like this for so many years. What does it matter if they suffer even more?
Thinking of this, Eunuch Li walked out comfortably. This place was stained by that woman, so of course it had to be moved to another place.
As he walked, he hummed proudly,
"This is life."
At this time, in the manor of the Wu family in Zhou Province, the head of the Wu family was earnestly persuading his daughter Wu Meier to
"Mei'er, this royal family wants to marry our family. This is a good thing!"
"Although Daqian has declined a bit now, this is just good for us. If you can give birth to a prince, then the world of Daqian will be..."
For a family like theirs, a powerful royal family is not in their interests.
Now that the other party is weak, it will be beneficial to them to rely on their strength.
But before he could finish his words, Wu Meier stood up and said unconvinced,
"I won't marry!"
The head of the Wu family immediately gave his wife next to him a look. The wife sighed slightly, stood up and said to Wu Meier,
"Daughter, this is the fate of our women!"
At this time, Wu Meier twisted her lips and returned,
"I don't believe in fate!"
