It doesn't matter what the lord is.

I'll give you all an update tomorrow.

23. It’s not good for two grown men to huddle together for warmth.

It’s almost time to say goodbye to the Yunhai Territory.

I stayed in Yunhai for a few more days just to avoid the farewell scenes with other city lords, lords, and royal ministers. I was very clear about the consequences of participating in the Oiran Contest in women's clothing. From an unknown person to a well-known person, and the negative comments dominated.

It can be said that I am now notorious. In the upper class society, besides being a "lazy and unpromising" dude, I have also gained the title of a "non-professional" pervert. Although this has no effect on me, there is no need to show my shameful side and put my face forward for people to hit.

So I stayed in the sea of ​​clouds for a little longer.

What made me sad and angry was that Comrade Xiao Huang never came to see me in the end.

Come out! Come out and face me! You bastard!

Every time I think about it, I get so angry. You are the daughter of the Lord of Yunhai, and you are just wandering around the streets with nothing to do, and you are also doing some fishing enforcement operations. As a result, I just happened to run into it by bad luck. If it were someone else,

I don't need to dress up as a woman and feel both pain and pleasure, okay?

Shouldn't she say sorry to me?

In the end, I waited until the end, but still didn't see Xiao Huang.

Instead, it was Bai Feng's bastard brother who came to face me.

He still smiled gently, but this time there were no fancy guests following him. However, the hotel was already surrounded by people. Although Bai Feng came to see me alone, his guests were reluctant to leave too far away, probably like bodyguards.

I asked He Yue to go out for a walk and meet Bai Feng alone.

The first sentence he said was with a smile:

"Congratulations. This time... not only me, but also the people around me, no one guessed the ending correctly."

I said:

"Congratulations, call your sister over here. I want to have a good talk with her. If you learn to stand people up at such a young age, what will happen to you in the future?"

Bai Feng smiled and waved at me, saying:

"It was my sister's fault this time. Of course, as her brother, I am also to blame. I will send a gift to Yuxi City as an apology. Please be gentle with me and don't mention it again."

I snorted.

Bai Feng changed the subject and asked:

"Lid, what do you think of the situation in Yongtian Kingdom?"

I replied:

"What is this? A test? A request for help?"

Bai Feng said:

“Just asking.”

He explained:

"During this gathering, someone also asked my father. He said that Yunhai is too remote, and it is inconvenient for other lords to come to the gathering, especially those lords in the northeast. They have to travel a long distance and may face various dangers. Therefore, more than a dozen lords in the northeast did not come in person this time. That person said that it would be better if the next auction of Yunhai could be held in the central part of Yongtian Kingdom."

Turtle, the meaning of this persuasion is a little too obvious.

The Yunhai Territory itself is located in the southwest corner, and there is no possibility of holding an auction in the central part of Yongtian.

Unless... he conquered a corner of Yongtian Kingdom and annexed other territories. But if Yunhai really took a quarter of Yongtian Kingdom, the royal power would basically be meaningless, and the country would soon fall into chaos with all parties fighting for hegemony.

I asked:

"So what? What is your father going to do?"

Bai Feng said:

"My father didn't agree."

He paused and continued:

"But he didn't explicitly refuse... I never understood his attitude. A doctor once said that my father's health was deteriorating. He probably wouldn't take the risk."

I narrowed my eyes.

I know a little bit about medicine. After all, although being a playboy is a comfortable job, it is also a high-risk job. Every year, countless playboys die from kidney deficiency, overwork, overexertion, poisoning, syphilis, etc. Their bodies can circle the earth three times... Well, not that many. But definitely not a small number. In order to live longer, it is necessary to learn some medicine.

I could tell that Lord Yunhai was seriously ill. He was a martial artist, but his aura was very disordered. I guessed that he was terminally ill. But I didn't expect Bai Feng to tell me this on his own initiative.

What is this? You treat me as your friend?

I sighed and replied:

"If he doesn't do it, someone else will. The royal family is trying to weaken each other by forcing the lords to fight each other, but they can't prevent the overly powerful lords from expanding their power. In addition, the power between the various territories is extremely unbalanced, and there are many stupid and dull lords. People are often in dire straits, and various conflicts are brewing. The contradictions between the royal family and the lords will definitely erupt someday. No matter who wins or loses in the end, that era should be what you call the era of great contention."

Bai Feng smiled and said:

"As I expected... Then, what are you going to do? If that time comes, we are all just floating duckweed in the torrent. In that case, should we stick together for warmth?"

24. How about you punch me?

"Hug each other for warmth?? You still want to hug me, that's too much! Although I have worn women's clothes once, I don't have that kind of fetish."

I shrank back and looked at Bai Feng in horror.

Bai Feng said speechlessly:

"Neither do I. It's just a metaphor."

I shook my head:

"Forget it, you and I are not the same kind of people."

Bai Feng smiled and said:

"I don't dislike you."

Before he could finish, I interrupted him with a frown:

"But I resent you."

Bai Feng stood there in a daze.

I sneered and said without hesitation:

"No matter what you think, I don't consider you my friend. You already knew what kind of talent He Yue, who was selling smiles in the brothel, had, right? So you went there to find him again and again, asking him about all kinds of things. Including the internal struggles of Yunhai, the future of Yunhai, your affairs, and my affairs, he answered you one by one. Even at that time, he advised you to kill me. What about you?"

I looked at Bai Feng's beautiful eyes and added in annoyance:

"I know it's difficult for you to redeem him, because your reputation is the most important thing to you, and you can't let it get ruined here. But there are many other ways, right? For example, find someone to redeem him on your behalf, or go directly to Lord Tiancheng to make some deals in exchange for him, but you didn't do anything. In the final analysis, you just think He Yue is very useful, and you just think there is no difference between him staying in the theater and staying behind you! Anyway, when you asked him, he always told you everything he knew, as if he had become your aide, right?"

I could feel my voice getting louder.

Now that you have said it, you might as well express all your anger.

I questioned Bai Feng loudly:

"And then? When I wanted to take him away, you tried to stop me in every way. Because you didn't want to see He Yue leave with me, and didn't want to see us return to Yuxi City. I can understand this. Since you regard me as a competitor, it is reasonable to do so. But Bai Feng, have you ever considered He Yue's pain? Do you know the shame of a boy dancing on the stage in women's clothes? Do you know how much inferiority and helplessness those glaring eyes and loud ridicules will bring to him? He treats you as a friend, but what do you treat him as, a tool? You, talk about morality, and say you have a great reputation, but in the end you are just a selfish villain!"

Bai Feng looked at me steadily.

After a long time, he smiled and said:

"You should have said this in front of He Yue."

I sneered.

"No need! I don't want to win people's hearts with these things. It's just that if I don't say some things, I'm afraid I won't have the chance in the future. A gentleman's revenge is never too late, but I won't delay revenge that can be taken on the spot. He Yue won't say these words to you in this tone, but I will. Because that guy is mine now, and I can't bear to see him suffer even the slightest injustice."

The smile disappeared from Bai Feng's face.

He said seriously:

"So what do you want? Would it be better if you punched me?"

I punched him in the face.

Bai Feng was completely confused and probably didn't expect that I would take action on his territory.

Although I held back and didn't slap Li Yi like I did, Bai Feng still fell backwards to the ground, blood gushing out of his nostrils, dripping onto his snow-white clothes. At the same time, a spear shot out from outside the door. I tilted my head and the spear grazed my cheek, leaving a bloody mark.

It hurts.

Bai Feng shouted sternly toward the door:

"Narus!...Don't do it."

He raised his hand, wiped the blood from his nose with his sleeve, and said:

"You are really strong. Narus's gun is not so easy to dodge."

I remembered that at the banquet, Bai Feng was followed by a man with a gun. I took a quick look at him and he should be at the ninth level of gun skills, just one step away from the human limit.

The ninth level of marksmanship is indeed very powerful.

I reached out and wiped the blood off my face, and the wound felt numb. If I had dodged a little slower, the gun would have pierced my skull, and the scene would have been a bit bloody.

Bai Feng asked me:

"How do you feel now? Better?"

I replied:

"That's it."

Bai Feng laughed. He sat back down, put his hands on his knees, and asked:

"Then let's talk about it again. I was wrong in the past, but now I am cooperating with you sincerely. After all, I saw it when you stood on that stage. When the entire Yongtian Kingdom is divided into three parts in the future, you and I will definitely be part of it."

I smiled.

"You are so confident. It's a pity that I am not interested. But the fight is over, and I don't mind talking to you..."

I paused and said:

"As Yunyang Lide."

He is no longer the lord of Yuxi City, but is being discussed as the "future lord of Yunyang".

The meaning is self-evident.

25. It’s better to go home early

The first version of the "Yunyang & Yunhai" strategic treaty is as follows:

First, Yunyang and Yunhai formed a tactical alliance, starting from the date of signing the terms, the two sides shall not attack each other's territory in any form in the next ten years. If someone attacks Yunyang, Yunhai should send troops to support it, and vice versa.

Second, when Yunyang’s materials are consigned to Yunhai, the handling fee charged by the latter is reduced by 50%.

Third, Yunyang’s material procurement must prioritize Yunhai as the only channel.

Fourth, the fourth son of Yunyang, Li De, will do his best to help the second son of Yunhai, Bai Feng, take the position of the lord of Yunhai. On the contrary, the second son of Yunhai, Bai Feng, shall not hinder the fourth son of Yunyang, Li De, from planning and attacking the three territories of Yunyang, Zhaochen and Tiancheng in any way.

Fifth, because the two parties to the treaty were not the Lord of Yunyang and the Lord of Yunhai when the treaty was signed, the first clause will not be implemented for the time being. The second and third clauses are only enforced within the sphere of influence of the fourth son of Yunyang, Li De, and the second son of Yunhai, Bai Feng. If one of the two parties to the treaty disappears within ten years, the treaty will automatically become invalid.

Signatories: Li De, the fourth son of Yunyang, and Bai Feng, the second son of Yunhai.

Date of signing: September 9, 332.

……

If I were to say I was happy, I was actually quite happy.

Although Bai Feng seemed to be quite unkind in his treatment of He Yue, other than that, there was nothing wrong with this person. In my opinion, the biggest problem facing Bai Feng was whether he could become the Lord of Yunhai. He was different from me. He didn't have his own city, which meant he didn't have his own base. He was left in Yunhai Capital by the Lord of Yunhai. He had his own power, but it was not enough to support him to seize the position of the Lord of Yunhai by violent means.

I guess Lord Yunhai is also very depressed.

Bai Feng inherited the cold blood disease from his father, who was about to die when he was a little over 40 years old. His father probably knew that his son Bai Feng would not live past 40, so he was always worried. I met Bai Feng's eldest brother once at a banquet before. He was a very calm guy who always drank in the corner. He didn't seem to be as sociable as Bai Feng, but fortunately he was steady and healthy.

Bai Feng must continue to make achievements and tell his father that he is qualified for the position of the Lord of Yunhai, so as to have the possibility of passing on the throne. Otherwise, he can only wait until his father dies, and then he can fight with his elder brother with his own forces and ascend to the throne by stepping on his brother's corpse.

Every family has its own scriptures that are difficult to recite.

But what does this have to do with me, the king of salted fish?

The reason why I had to think about these things was mainly because He Yue kept nagging at me.

"Listen carefully, Lid, from now on you have to get up at four in the morning, pick a martial art to practice first, and then learn these. After that, review official documents... and go to bed around eight in the evening. This way you can get eight hours of sleep and won't hurt your body."
