"The Girl Named Bai Ming 8"
"For the sake of your family and the fact that there are so many Imperial Guards interceding for you, Bai Ming, I will spare your life for the time being. However, it is true that you made my flowerbed and stables miserable. If you don't surrender, I'm afraid more people will despise the emperor's power in the future."
"But even though your life is being bypassed, it's up to you whether you can seize this opportunity." "Your Majesty, please make it clear." Bai Ming did not express too much, as if the decision now was not about her life or death. "[Gatekeeper] Blood Dragon Goedoya, you know, right?"
"Luo has ears to hear."
""Well, it is the guardian of the Argonian ruins. For thousands of years, any explorer who tried to enter it has been mercilessly killed by the blood dragon. Legend has it that this blood dragon can continue to regenerate flesh and blood as long as there are bones left. , is an existence that is absolutely unkillable. It contains a powerful curse eye core within its body, which can easily release several golden divine vein level curses. From its birth to the present, it has never failed. "
"Your Majesty, don't you want to...?" Hearing this, the old housekeeper trembled.
"Bai Ming, I can exempt you from the death penalty, but the condition is that you must defeat the [Gatekeeper] Blood Dragon Goedoya alone, and as proof, cut off its horn and bring it back to me."
"Your Majesty, is this punishment too much?" the old housekeeper couldn't help but asked.
The name of Gatekeeper Goedoya has made many adventure groups fearful. It is a taboo that they dare not mention at all. For thousands of years, no matter how strong the adventurers are or how well the adventure groups have a tacit understanding, they have never visited the Argonian ruins again. Been back.
There are many powerful knights who have conquered this evil dragon. They are undoubtedly the pride of the Gulan Empire and the best among the best. But even they have gone to the Argonian ruins and never come back.
"I understand." Under the desperate gaze of the old housekeeper, Bai Ming remained calm and agreed to this task, which was equivalent to a death sentence. "Your Majesty, please tell me where the Argonian ruins are. I will set off tomorrow." "
"Are you sure you don't need to prepare more?" Austin raised his eyebrows. "The blood dragon is a legendary creature. If you challenge it, I allow you to prepare for one more week." "No, I don't have any luggage to pack. I'll set off tomorrow." Bai Ming stroked his chest with one hand and said confidently.
"Okay then, I wish you a good start and immediate success."
Watching Bai Ming leave, the old housekeeper and the knights said nothing, their eyes seemed to be seeing off a noble warrior. "Your Majesty, do you really want Bai Ming to die?"
"Ha, this Bai Ming is the first one who can make me so angry." Austin smiled coldly. "But do you think she will really obey my order and slay the dragon?"
"This? Isn't this an order you personally gave?"
"I did it, but she won't listen. Haven't you understood what I meant?" Austin warned the old housekeeper. "Your Majesty is telling her not to appear in his sight from now on?"
"That's right." Austin said boredly, sitting on the throne. "It is impossible to kill the gatekeeper Goedoia. No fool would think that any human being can defeat such a legendary creature."
"But if you can't win, you can't return. My order didn't tell her not to escape, right?" "Your Majesty's real intention is to expel her? "
"This is already my greatest kindness." Austin snorted coldly. "She was the first one to get away with it despite offending me completely. She was simply deported. I was already showing mercy to her."
"But what if Miss Bai Ming takes it seriously?"
"Hahaha, Mr. Butler, you don't understand the palace very well." Austin looked in the direction of the palace gate mockingly. "How many people inside and outside the palace really listen to my orders and treat me sincerely?? Who is not being hypocritical and submissive?" "
"It has nothing to do with their interests, they may listen to my orders. If it concerns their interests, or even life and death, will they still regard me as their king?" When he said this, there was a hint of gloom in Austin's eyes.
"Just watch, that woman is probably packing her luggage now and running away early tomorrow morning." Austin said firmly.
This emperor, who is as handsome as a girl, is not as immature as he seems. On the contrary, he understands the ways of the imperial court and recognizes the ugly human heart.
In his opinion, no one in this world will be absolutely loyal to him. The so-called loyalty is not absolute, which means absolutely disloyalty. During the white horse's passing, the palace went through several days and nights. Although the stables and flower gardens were renovated, the progress did not seem to be ideal. Austin didn't pay much attention to this. Dealing with national affairs made him feel that time passed quickly.
In the blink of an eye, three months passed.
One afternoon, Austin was sitting in the courtyard drinking tea.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty! It's not good!" The old housekeeper ran into the courtyard in a hurry.
"Why, the pagans and rebels are attacking the city again? Or are the barbarians outside the wall getting restless again?" "No, neither!"
"What is that?" Austin wondered. "You, do you still remember Miss Bai Ming?"
"Bai Ming?...Oh, you mean the knight who destroyed my flower garden three months ago?" "Yes, she is back and is now outside the palace. She wants to see you."
"How dare she come back?" Austin narrowed his eyes. "I gave her a chance to run away, but it seems like she didn't appreciate it at all."
"That's not the case, Your Majesty, Miss Bai Ming, she, she really went to slay the dragon, and it seems that she really killed the gatekeeper, the legendary blood dragon.
"What did you say??" Austin was stunned for a while before reacting, and said in disbelief
.
"Impossible, the legendary blood dragon cannot be killed."
"I thought so too, but it seems that Miss Bai Ming really obeyed your order and cut off the blood dragon's horn and brought it back. "Where is she now?"
"Waiting outside Gongting."
"You let her in, and by the way, bring in the blood dragon horn that she cut off!" "Yes..."
Inside the palace.
Austin, who was sitting on the throne, stared blankly at Bai Ming below.
At this moment, the latter took off her very unstyled peasant woman's clothes and wore silver women's armor. She looked sassy and cold, like a golden rose stained with blood.
"Your Highness, I am going to attack the [Gatekeeper] according to your order. This is the blood dragon horn you want. Please take a look."
After that, eight soldiers held a rope and dragged a huge, blood-stained horn into the palace with great difficulty. Looking at the huge dragon horn, the palace fell into silence.
