It turned out that what Your Majesty was worried about was not what he was thinking. Rick immediately calmly said: "Your Majesty! I have the intention to keep Sheriman. According to the information I found, there must be powerful forces behind Sheriman, and even Mir may be just someone else's pawn. In addition, Dakai is an important eye-catching person in the north of the imperial capital. With Sheriman as a person with a complex identity, many hidden forces will be exposed. Weichen once secretly discovered from Sheriman that a sect named Tangzong has recently wanted to cultivate power in Dakai. They use a strange samurai sword. According to Weichen, they should be warriors from Jingzhou or Xiangrong Kingdom." At this point, Rick glanced at the queen's gentle expression and then said, "As for Sheriman's small movements, I believe that your Majesty can calm him down as long as he moves his little finger slightly."
A smile appeared on the queen's face, and Rick's last words seemed to have benefited her greatly. However, the smile disappeared in an instant, and she changed into a majestic expression. Rick secretly squeezed his sweat.
"Anyway, do you make sense?" the queen asked.
Rick hurriedly said, "I dare not, I just talk about the matter."
"Maybe you're right." The queen suddenly stood up and turned to look into the sky in the distance, "I will consider your suggestions." Then she turned around and looked at Rick and asked, "This time you wiped out Mir for me and cured Commander Tang again. What reward do you want?"
Rick glanced at Tang Zhaoxian standing beside the queen and said, "This is the duty of the minister, and he dare not ask for rewards."
The queen was quite surprised - did this kid suddenly change his sexual desire? So he immediately asked: "Really?"
Rick thought to himself: Didn’t you agree to be the commander of the palace guard? Maybe he regretted it! - Rick doesn’t care about the official position that doesn’t know the size of power. He wants to tell the queen the most. Let her achieve good things with Tang Zhaoxian. But he didn’t dare to say it out. Because he had an agreement with Tang Zhaoxian in advance, the relationship between the two was not disclosed for the time being. However, Her Majesty’s question reminded him of an important thing - before going to Dakai, he had promised the girls in the mansion to give
Each of them brought a phantom beast egg back. Now he has returned to Boint, but he has nothing to do. He is not afraid of breaking his promise, but most afraid of girls giving him a strange nickname - as miserable as a "black ball", which he doesn't want to accept. Now that His Majesty has made a promise to reward him, he simply goes with the flow. So he said: "Your Majesty. If you must reward Weishu, please reward Weishu seventy or eighty high-level phantom beast eggs, preferably one of which is a phoenix-shaped one!"
Seventy or eighty high-level phantom beast eggs?! Your appetite is really big! The queen thought to herself that this man probably imagined high-level phantom beast eggs as something as easy to grow and harvest as potatoes. The queen did not immediately express her opinion, but asked: "What do you want so many phantom beast eggs for?"
Rick was very honest, and he smiled bitterly: "Weichen was fooled by a few little sisters and accidentally owed them dozens of phantom beast eggs. Your Majesty will give Weichen some carelessly!"
"You mean those orphans you adopted?"
Rick asked in surprise: "Your Majesty knows, too?"
The queen nodded and continued: "I heard that there are thirty-six of them in total. It seems that there are quite a few people you want to raise!"
Rick's face changed slightly. He was even more shocked. The Queen knew even this little thing, which means she had a very thorough understanding of herself. If she had made some small moves behind her back, I believe she would not be able to escape her eyes and ears. Thinking of this, he felt cold sweat on his back.
The queen saw his expression in her eyes, and a mysterious smile appeared on the corner of her mouth. Then she said: "I will ask Commander Tang to select thirty-six high-level phantom beast eggs to send to you, and there are other rewards. Now you can leave first."
Rick immediately retreated in fear and fear. Before leaving, he didn't even care about the feelings he had with Tang Zhaoxian. It can be seen how shocked the news that the Queen revealed intentionally or unintentionally in her words just now brought him.
"You care about him very much?" The queen suddenly asked Tang Zhaoxian who was watching Rick leave.
Tang Zhaoxian shook his head quickly and said, "No, Your Majesty. I am just thinking about what he has done."
"Oh? What are you getting?"
“He is unpredictable.”
"You mean, he is unreliable?"
"No--No, I just said that he sometimes acts smart and wise, but sometimes he is childish and ridiculous."
The queen nodded slightly, then seemed to suddenly remember some inappropriate things in Tang Zhaoxian's words, and then said dissatisfiedly: "There are no outsiders here, so you don't have to call yourself a minister. I've said it many times."
Tang Zhaoxian sighed inwardly and said, "It is different now. Your Majesty should have the majesty of Your Majesty."
"It's different now?" the queen said, "Did you change? Or did I change?"
"Weichen refers to the overall situation in the country."
"Maybe you're right." The queen suddenly stood up and said, "However, compared to the slight changes, I want to know more about what kind of rejuvenation skills Count Xia Hua used to revive your youth, even more so before."
Tang Zhaoxian was slightly stunned and didn't know how to answer for a moment. The queen didn't even ask, and said with a smile: "When will you tell me, I'm happy to listen. Now you go to the inner treasury to select thirty-six high-level phantom beast eggs to him, and convey my will." After saying that, she asked the personal eunuch to hand Tang Zhaoxian a long-prepared imperial edict. Tang Zhaoxian took it with confusion.
The Blue Moon Queen didn't seem to be planning to hide it from her, and said, "You can open it first and take a look."
"I don't dare."
"This sentence shouldn't seem to come from you." The queen said unhappily.
Tang Zhaoxian had no choice but to follow the order and take a rough look. This made her face change. The reward mentioned by the queen was actually the appointment of Rick: to promote Rick to a first-class count and to appoint him as the commander of the palace guards. Everything shows that Rick's Holy Residence is Zhenglong. However, the reason for the appointment is quite interesting. Although Rick did not directly kill Marquis Mir, every sentence implied this point. This imperial edict had obviously been drafted long ago, and it would be announced to the world just by waiting for Rick to come back from Dakai. The Queen's intention is unpredictable, but one thing is obvious: Rick has become a scapegoat. Although everyone knows that the envoy behind the scenes is the queen, the queen is still on the throne after all, and the conspirators cannot do anything to her for the time being, but Rick will become their target. How can this not make Tang Zhaoxian secretly shocked?
When he walked out of the palace, Rick breathed a long sigh of relief. Although the queen seemed to rely more on him than before, and even forgot that he was just a fake count, he felt heavier and heavier pressure. He had always been very happy, but the last few words that the queen had revealed intentionally or unintentionally still made him feel uncomfortable. However, as soon as he walked out of the palace, he threw what he had just done. Now, he was thinking in his mind that when the girls in the mansion got the long-awaited phantom beast egg, he didn't know how to be happy. Thinking of this, he felt relaxed.
According to convention, once he returns from the war, half of the military talisman used to dispatch troops must be handed over to the Ministry of War. Rick led his troops to Dakai this time and was also given half of the military talisman. At this moment, he was about to go to the Ministry of War to hand over the military talisman.
The six ministries' offices are located near the palace, almost in rows, each with deep gate courtyards, with tight access control and a huge atmosphere. This is especially true for the Ministry of War.
Rick was only followed by Caifeng and Leng Ying, Yulu, Ao Linger and others, who had already returned to the Duke's Mansion when he was summoned to the palace. Rick didn't know how to get to the Ministry of War, but the Six Divisions were very close to the palace, and he saw a row of tall gatehouses from a distance, so he could easily find them without others leading the way.
When he walked to the entrance of the military department, Rick didn't even look at the guards lined up outside the door, and walked straight into it. - This is the secret of "passing the mark" taught by Qin Xin. In aristocratic society, you must always have a strong momentum and a strong temperament, so that you can show your superiority and be less hindered in your actions, otherwise you will be thorny step by step. He did as he did, and it seemed that the effect was good, and the guard did not dare to stop him. Of course, this had a great relationship with two beautiful female entourages behind him. Ordinary people could not have two such entourages. Since Rick was followed by two such entourages, it showed that his identity was extraordinary.
The doorman did not dare to stop him, which did not mean that others dared not. As soon as Rick walked into the gate of the Ministry of War, someone shouted: "Who are you? You dare to trek into the Ministry of War." The person who was drinking was a man who was nearly thirty years old and had a pair of small eyes that were inconsistent with his rough and generous appearance.
Rick stopped and said, "I'll look for Minister Yin of the Ministry of War."
"Do you think Lord Shangshu can meet him at will?"
Rick smiled: "I'm not as casual as I'm ignoring my stupidity."
"What's the meaning?"
"If I were not sure to meet Lord Shangshu, would you think I would come to the Ministry of War?"
The other party's eyes froze, landed on Rick, and said, "I've never seen you before."
“Each one another.”
"May I have your name?"
"Xia Hua."
The other party obviously had never heard of it, frowned slightly, and then asked, "What's the matter with you when you look for Lord Shangshu?"
Rick asked without answering, "You should report your name first, this is a ritual." God knows, how could the word "ritual" pop out of his mouth? However, Rick's words seemed to be very effective. The man smiled: "The Lord is right, my name is Wei Mang."
Rick nodded and said, "I remember. Please tell me where is Lord Yin now?"
"You have to tell me what you have to do with Lord Shangshu first, this is also a ritual."
Rick smiled - it was a happy smile because he met an interesting person. He confessed: "I'll take the military talisman."
