Lord of Rot

Chapter 391 Allegiance to the King
Stacy didn't realize what she had just done until she hugged and fell.

"Ahem, give me a hand!"

Hearing the sound of Li Qi coughing, Stacy just woke up, and immediately stretched out her hand to pull Li Qi up.

Li Qi looked miserable on the surface, but in fact the injury was not serious, because Stacy's attack didn't use extraordinary strength, it was just an ordinary hug and throw, and he could completely bear it.

He didn't care about being hugged and thrown, because he wanted to hug Stacey just now, but the other party took the opportunity instead.

Otherwise, it is definitely not me who is lying on the ground now!
"Did you use extraordinary power on your hands just now?" Li Qi was more concerned about Stacy's sudden outburst than hugging and throwing.

"Yes……"

Stacey also came to her senses suddenly.

She had unknowingly improved her control over extraordinary power. Before, she could only use her whole body to charge, which consumed a lot of energy and could not charge too many times.

But as before, just using both hands to explode strength, and use the supernatural power part heroically, such as kicking legs and swinging a sword, the power will not be reduced too much, but it can save a lot of power.

She had a happy expression on her face, she didn't expect that a hug and throw would successfully help her break through and bring new changes to her abilities.

"Thank you for training with me!" She knew very well that only when Li Qi suppressed her strength, could she make a breakthrough in danger.

"You won this time!" Li Qi said seriously: "But it won't be the case next time, I will definitely beat you to tears!"

Stacey snorted softly, "I'll beat you up the same way next time!"

Lewis, who had become a completely transparent person, suddenly felt that he was a bit redundant.

It looks a bit like young people talking about love, but the scene always feels a little wrong. Does anyone talk about love while fighting?

"Oh, Li Qi~"

Lewis pretended to be helpless and sighed, and said: "I originally wanted you to marry Stacy, but she doesn't seem to want it, it's okay, I'll help you find someone who can't fight, just right, the one at the banquet today Miss, how do you feel? She is only 15 years old..."

"I do!" Stacy said, like a soldier on the training ground.

She is like this, she will not think about anything before she is not sure, but when she is sure, she will charge forward bravely and move forward.

"What?" Lewis was stunned, suspecting that he had an auditory hallucination in his ears. Could it be that it wasn't Li Qi that Stacy hugged and fell just now, but himself?

Lewis touched his neck subconsciously: "Okay! The engagement banquet will be held tomorrow!"

Li Qi was at a loss, although he did come with similar thoughts this time, but...you father and daughter, would you like to listen to my opinion?
The process is very tortuous, but the result is good.

Lewis blushed when he returned to the banquet to announce the happy event of the engagement banquet tomorrow.

After waiting for so many years, this day finally came. If it wasn't for the time constraints, and there were more important things, Lewis planned to let them get married today.

Because Stacie's dress was torn by herself, she had to go back and change.

Li Qi is strong, his bruised nose and swollen face have healed on his own, and he returned to the banquet after a simple change of clothes.

When he came back, he found that during the banquet, the ladies' interest in him dropped sharply, even if there were ladies and ladies who didn't mind having a good night, they didn't dare to break ground on the old crocodile's territory.

The men gathered around excitedly.

"You really beat Stacey?"

In a group of people, it is estimated that 80.00% are victims.

"No." Li Qi shook his head, "I was thrown and lost."

You can marry Stacy even if you lose, why?
The aristocratic youths who had pursued Stacy and were also defeated were very unconvinced.

In the past, we were all losers, and we were able to fight against each other. Now you, a loser, are so successful in embracing a beautiful woman, and you have the old crocodile as a strong backing. The men are very upset and dissatisfied.

Li Qi was proud of himself: "It's called personal charm. Marriage is not based on who has big fists. Do you understand? Charm!"

The birthday party was over, and the focus of the whole scene was not Stacy, but a girl from a certain little nobleman.

It is definitely a new thing in Lurea Continent. The protagonist is not at the banquet, but goes to fight.

Li Qi was called to the study in Greenwood Castle.

Before coming to the study, he raised his hand and knocked on the door lightly.

A voice came from inside: "Please come in."

Li Qi opened the door.

Knight Wisdom sat on a chair and looked at the door with a smile on his face. People couldn't help but wonder if he was proud of his spring and married another one.

Also smiling were Lewis, and Bode, who was beside Lewis with a sinister smile.

Three generations of grandparents and grandchildren, one sitting and two standing, looked at Li Qi while smiling, like a weird group photo that often appears in horror movies, very scary.

"..." Li Qi opened his mouth, feeling that he had to say something.

"Li Qi, sit down." Knight Wisdom finally put away his smile and said, "I hope you and Stacy can get married as soon as possible, but we are not looking for you tonight because of Stacy's business."

"Yes!" Li Qi sat on the prepared chair.

The old crocodile asked: "How much do you know about the current situation in the kingdom?"

"Kingdom?" Li Qiqi thought for a while, and said: "King Paul II is in his prime of life. Although Lord Leopold, whom we are loyal to, is unwell due to old illnesses, he can persist for a while. In the future, Lord Pine will inherit the East Gap. The Gap is still the most powerful kingdom territory in the Kingdom. Prince Hoffman of Giant Foot is very mysterious. Maybe there will be some changes in the future, but it is difficult for outsiders to understand Giant Foot deeply. Although Varian de Stormwind, the lion of the North Old but still famous, Endor... I don't know."

It's not that Endor is mysterious, but that the Endor plateau is just like the giant's feet before, it's too messy, and the messy people can't figure out what's going on there.

Grandpa nodded slightly: "Enduo was conferred a duke by the king before, but that duke was killed."

"Killed?" Li Qi didn't know anything about such a major event. It may be because the upper class covered his mouth, but it was more likely because he was a small lord with a population of 200, and he was not qualified to know. It seemed that it took him a long time to know, Huo Prince Fuman ruled the giant's feet, and with absolute power, he put down dissatisfaction from all sides.

"That's right, we all know that the group of prairie barbarians did it." The old crocodile nodded, "There is a belief in the law of the jungle. Currently the strongest is a tribe called Mane, the leader of the Mane tribe, the Bloodhoof leader, who has [-] people under his command." An elite cavalryman, brave and good at fighting, it is not an exaggeration to say that he is the real Duke of Endor."

"fifty thousand……"

It shouldn't be heavy cavalry. Based on Li Qi's basic understanding of Endor, those people can't fight in heavy armor, but even for light cavalry, [-] is a terrifying number, let alone the Endor people are good at horse fighting. Riding and shooting, the combat effectiveness is very powerful.

He remembered Stacy's words and asked, "Are you going to fight the Mane Tribe?"

It's not that Li Qi looked down on them, even if there were a hundred more extraordinary monitor lizards, it was impossible for Lin Tawan to win [-] cavalry.

"It's a small tribe that crosses the border." Grandpa told Li Qi not to worry too much.

Next, the old crocodile chatted with Li Qi a lot, such as Stormwind City in the north of the largest city in Lurea, Golden Grassland in Endor, Thunder City in Giant's Foot, etc. It brought a new perspective to Li Qi.

What role will they play if war does break out, and what role will they play if there is no war.

An opportunity to enrich his knowledge and experience enriched the vacancies of a large map outside the East Gorge for Li Qi.

Lewis answered at this time and said: "What we want to talk to you about is another matter. Both the eldest prince and the little prince want to win over our family."

Li Qi raised his head sharply.

Whether a lord is powerful does not depend on his title.

The title is related to the size of the territory, but like the old crocodile Wisdom family, their ancestors have been staying in Lintawan and worked hard for many years. They seem to be barons like Li Qi, but they are actually unfathomable.

Just like Bode quietly had an extraordinary monitor lizard as a mount, there must be power in the dark.

"We belong to the East Gorge after all," Lewis said: "And the two princes, we are more inclined to the eldest prince..."

The former sentence belonged to Dongxia, and the latter sentence was towards the eldest prince. Li Qi understood it completely. It meant that as soon as Duke Yaori died, the crocodile family would immediately turn their backs and throw themselves into the arms of the eldest prince.

He also thinks that the golden stallion will not be a good lord, but isn't it too exaggerated to jump like this.

Or is the East Gorge really that precarious?
Li Qi's first reaction was not to doubt Lewis' judgment, but to suspect that he had missed many key news due to his own problems, so that he made a wrong judgment that Dongxia was still strong after the death of Duke Yaori.

However, as a vassal, unless the knife rests on the neck, or the benefits are too great to refuse, generally speaking, no one will jump back so early.

Lewis said: "Before Boer II suppressed the rebellion, we Wisdom were from the middle."

That's it, Li Qiming realized.

That is to say, taking advantage of the gap after Duke Yaori's death, he returned to his hometown in name and separated Linta Bay from the East Gorge again.

As for the deeper entanglement, he couldn't guess it.

Li Qi said bluntly: "I have met the eldest prince, but I don't think the eldest prince is a qualified monarch."

If I don't deal with him, when he really becomes the king, he will definitely find a way to mess with himself. That guy seems to be as narrow-minded as himself.

Regardless of whether the crocodile family will be loyal to the eldest prince in the future, he must not be loyal to the eldest prince.

According to the rumors, it is pure nonsense that the eldest prince looks like King Bohr II. Except for his bad temper, he has no ability of Bohr II.

"Not to mention the little prince." The grandfather who was sitting on the sidelines couldn't bear it anymore: "His liking is not enough to make him a real king."

"Father..." Lewis was helpless, the rigidity of the older generation made him helpless.

"I've never met the little prince," Li Qi said. "If he really likes men like the rumors say, it's not a big problem. As long as he is willing to "sacrifice" himself to leave a bloodline heir for the kingdom, he will be a qualified king."

"Do you like the little prince?"

"I don't know the little prince." Li Qi shook his head: "I haven't seen it, so I can't choose."

The old crocodile asked: "Then tell me, who should we be loyal to? We have to choose, the eldest prince or the little prince?"

Sounds like a test.

Li Qi said simply: "Allegiance to the king!"

The old crocodile didn't speak. Li Qi could guess what he was thinking. If he wanted to successfully leave Dongxia and return to the aristocratic circle of the central royal capital, he had to make great achievements. It was safest to be loyal to the king, but he would not earn any benefits.

Li Qi simply shut up, it was not his turn to dictate what happened to Lin Tawan, his choice was just the safest way.

His real idea is to grow up by himself and see what kind of virtue the new king is. If they are all bad, he might as well stuff a letter into the belly of the fish himself, and then rise up.

"Oh!"

The door was pushed open, and Stacy rushed in anxiously.

After yelling "I do", Stacy returned to the room and became more and more shy as she thought about it. When she didn't know what to do, she heard the maid said that Li Qi was taken to the study. She guessed in her heart that it must be a matter of the wedding. But it's a bit fast, and I feel like I'm not ready yet.

"About the wedding..."

Pushing open the door, she was halfway through speaking when she suddenly felt something was wrong, why the four of them didn't look like they were discussing a wedding, but more like a serious topic.

Four pairs of eyes looked over, she froze at the door.

Lewis is very satisfied with his daughter's initiative: "We have finished chatting with Li Qi, so let's take this opportunity to set the wedding time."
