This anger did not come from the act of destruction itself, but from the memory behind the photo, which disappeared before her eyes without reservation.
But just when W was about to lose his temper, the Sarkaz mercenary turned around and stuffed a film into W's hand, saying with a wicked smile:
"No, I don't have anything left here. Don't take your anger out on me later. Come on, W, let's destroy this dark history."
"...You can destroy it if you want. Why should I listen to you?"
Being played around in someone's hands... This thought suddenly came to W's mind. If she followed her usual habit, she would definitely crush the film directly and snort a few words, but in the end, W was inexplicably compelled to put it away.
"I say, W, if you really have an idea, just go for it. Why are you so timid?"
At this moment, the Sarkaz mercenary leaned beside W and whispered with a smile:
"Although our aesthetic tastes are quite different, I'm really not interested in guys who look like they could be blown away by the wind. But I have to say, that face is really handsome. I'm a little moved. So, it's not shameful for you to have such thoughts."
As he spoke, W felt as if something was stuffed into his hand. He looked down and saw something ultra-thin wrapped in pink packaging. Realizing what it was, W quickly threw it away as if his hands were dirty, and said angrily:
"*Sarkaz curse* You're a jerk with a head full of crap. Don't mistake me for the same kind of person!"
"Listen to what you just said. The word order is wrong."
The Sarkaz mercenary rolled his eyes at W and said slowly:
"W, I've been through this before. I'm telling you, don't try to learn those old-timer tricks like talking about love, romance, and dating. People like us don't have a tomorrow. If you keep dragging your feet, don't wait until you're on your deathbed to realize how regretful it is."
At this point, the Sarkaz mercenary suddenly pressed W's shoulder and whispered:
"So, W, don't hesitate too much, just go for it. That guy is so weak, I don't believe he can resist you. Besides, he won't suffer any loss, okay? You're squeezing him to the heavens..."
"Just shut up right now! *Sarkaz swear*!"
Although W grew up in a poor environment and was fluent in all kinds of foul language, this was the first time she had been taught such ferocious language in such detail. She couldn't help but blush like an Originium bomb about to explode. She quickly covered the Sarkaz mercenary's mouth and shouted at the top of her lungs:
"I'm just good friends with him, so what if I laugh a few times with my good buddy?"
"Okay, okay, we're good friends of the opposite sex, right?"
The Sarkaz mercenary slapped W's hand away, rolled his eyes at her, and said in a low voice with a tone of disappointment:
"If you hadn't dragged me back from the battlefield once, I wouldn't have bothered to waste so much time talking to you. Whether you fall in love with me or not, don't regret this when you die."
After saying that, the Sarkaz mercenary left here angrily. W also left here without looking back. However, W did not go back to the Dragon Gate directly. Instead, he found a place, washed his face with cold water, and then walked towards the Dragon Gate.
As for Chen Huijie, he had already arrived at Boss Yin's current residence, but the young boss of Shelag seemed to have gone shopping with his two sisters after finishing his business.
Chen Huijie reached out to stop his men from trying to tell Boss Yin to hurry back. After all, after this trip back, the three siblings wouldn't have many more opportunities to enjoy such a joyful and organized tour of Longmen. He also took this opportunity to do some finishing work on the unfinished plans and documents...
"Clang clang clang!!!"
At this moment, the clock in the room rang, it was four o'clock in the afternoon. At this moment, Chen Huijie, who was editing a message on his phone, saw the favorability system suddenly pop up. He forcibly switched the page. An achievement was suddenly achieved -
【Achievement: Crazy Thursday】
How can we not celebrate the first Thursday?
【Item: V you fifty red envelope】
[Get one or two random gadgets immediately]
Good guy, it’s a good thing you didn’t play the achievement for me at four in the morning today, otherwise you would have woken me up before I had even slept for long.
Chen Huijie really didn't expect that this system would have such a strange sense of ritual, but considering that it provided props, there is a sense of ritual. Having more sense of ritual in life is also a pleasure for people.
Chen Huijie complained as he opened the red envelope. Then two new pop-up windows appeared.
【Item: Painful Happiness】
【Hehe, hehe....no hehe】
[Item: Dream Crystal]
[A field you can’t leave without XXX]
It feels like a new and even more incomprehensible prop has appeared...
Chen Huijie looked at the Dream Crystal. This prop reminded him of the Dream Essence from Logos' hometown. It was said to be crafted only by banshees. These women crafted a fragrance they would give to their loved ones, and just one drop could leave them spellbound. Many artists yearned to experience this fragrance, believing that when they caught its scent, their inspiration and creativity would follow...
Chen Huijie felt that those artists were thinking too much. In the previous world line, when Chen Huijie went to Logos' hometown, he had smelled this dream essence before. It could only be said that it was simply a little pleasant to smell. If it were not inappropriate, he would have wanted to make some as a Sarkaz specialty and send it to Longmen's two childhood sweethearts as perfume.
There's also the [Banshee's Kiss], which is said to require outsiders to display courage beyond their own capabilities when they obtain it. Regarding this, Logos said that he's no longer surprised by that thing, and if Chen Huijie likes shiny things like that, he can help make some and hang it on Chi Xiao as a decoration.
Chen Huijie naturally had no interest in this thing. He didn't want to have such a heavy thing affecting the feel of swinging the sword...
Then Logos' mother suddenly appeared from the side, greeted Chen Huijie with a smile, and said that since she showed Chen Huijie the way to the furnace last time, we met again, and then she grabbed Logos' ear and floated away.
As for what he said, after returning from Logos, he seriously introduced the mystery and rarity of the banshee creature to Chen Huijie, so what he said should be self-evident.
Well, to be honest, Chen Huijie really wants to have a sparring match with Logos' mother, Ms. Lamaren. After all, she is the real Lord of the Banshees. But in terms of etiquette, it is not very good.
Chen Huijie sighed with regret as he chose to use [Item: Painful Happiness]. Suddenly, someone in the capital's Hundred Kitchens frowned in their sleep...
243 Emperor: I want to dissolve too (refresh)
While Chen Huijie was using the props, the emperor was busy handling affairs in the capital's hundreds of kitchens, and the Taifu was also busy with urgent matters in his place. Although they both felt inexplicably sleepy, considering that the matters at hand needed to be dealt with urgently, they suppressed the sleepiness and continued to be busy.
Therefore, in one of the hundreds of kitchens in the capital, in a courtyard, an old man who was sleeping suddenly relaxed his slightly frown, as if he had sunk into some kind of beautiful dream.
The Grand Marshal is the highest military commander in the central government and the head of all military officers in the world. He commands all the troops in the world and is second only to the emperor.
Now, the person serving as the Grand Marshal of Dayan is not in good health, coughing frequently and seeming to have tuberculosis. Today, after handling government affairs, the Grand Marshal felt a little tired and lay down to rest for a while. However, he did not expect that this time he would stumble into a rare "dream"...
"Hasn't this Li Yuanfang been found yet?"
In the dream, the general frowned slightly and asked the attendant beside him:
"I remember this young man named Li Yuanfang, who had a good relationship with Di Huaiying. Have you ever gone there to ask?"
"In reply to the commander, I have already asked Lord Di."
The attendant clasped his fists and replied respectfully:
"But Lord Di said that he and Young Master Li were just casual acquaintances, and it was through chance that they were able to work together to solve several major cases."
"Ahem, these days' young people are really elusive..."
The general looked at the file in front of him helplessly.
First, a "mysterious team" suddenly appeared in the northern border of Dayan, and the Dayan border defense team was surrounded. Just when the besieged soldiers were determined to die for their country and not be captured by the bandits, a chivalrous man took action to save the soldiers and slaughtered all the bandits. He left without leaving his name.
Secondly, when the bandits were suppressed in the south, the bandits hid in the terrain and used the civilians and captured soldiers as human shields, which slowed down the suppression process. At this time, a young man heard the news and came. Seeing that the rumors were true, he was furious and bravely took the lead. All the bandit leaders were captured by him. The bandits were frightened and no longer arrogant. They abandoned their troops and surrendered. The soldiers and civilians were grateful, but the young man had already left without leaving his name.
Third, a sudden beast tide disaster occurred in the northwest, and villages and military camps were all affected. The court urgently ordered the surrounding areas to rush to help and rescue the survivors. However, when the vanguard rushed to the disaster area, they found that the surviving soldiers and civilians had already evacuated. When they stepped forward to inquire, they learned that a righteous young man had taken action to gather everyone in the beast tide and protect their safety.
However, the beast tide was ferocious, and the camp's defenses were destroyed. The soldiers and civilians could only rely on transport ships to escape the encirclement. However, they were pursued by the beast tide. No matter how hard they tried, the beast tide's momentum showed no sign of weakening. The young hero, sword in hand, left alone to cover their retreat, but they still haven't been seen. The surviving soldiers and civilians wept and begged the vanguard army to find the nameless young hero...
Each and every item on the chopping board was the deeds of that unknown young hero over the years. The court also valued this person very much, especially since he was active mostly in the restless areas on the border of Dayan. Therefore, many soldiers were assisted by him, and the general naturally wanted to meet this young man.
However, this unknown young man had excellent martial arts skills and could come and go without a trace. Even when some soldiers realized that they had met the legendary unknown young man and tried to use some means to keep him, he disappeared in the blink of an eye.
And how was the name of this unknown young man revealed...
Then we have to talk about an official named Yu who was suddenly recruited and promoted. According to him, he was suppressed by his superiors and resigned in anger. Later, he was sighing in frustration in the market when he heard someone shout:
"A man born in heaven and earth, why do you sigh so much? If you have nothing important to do, why don't you sit down and drink with me?"
Seeing that the man had a dignified face and looked like a gentleman rather than a villain, Yu readily agreed and had a long conversation in the tavern until nightfall. As he was still in high spirits, Yu invited him to her home for a candlelight chat.
The next day, the man said with a smile that Yu was a man of great talent and it would be a pity for him to stay in the market. He asked Yu if he would be willing to go with him, put on his official uniform again, help the emperor with his worries, and relieve the suffering of the people.
Afterwards, the man took Yu to Baizao in the capital. A few days later, the appointment order was issued and Yu took up his post in the Ministry of War.
Taking this as an opportunity, everyone communicated with Yu and learned that the man was the unknown knight in the legend. His name was Li Yuanfang, a talented young man who had assisted Lord Di in solving several major cases.
As for Yu, he is indeed capable and has an upright character. It can be predicted that he will be able to guard a place in the future.
Li Yuanfang also recommended several people one after another, all of whom were future pillars of the country. The six ministries in the cabinet were very happy with them, but...
Don’t just recommend others, why don’t you become an official yourself!
The Taiwei looked at the not-so-thin file and coughed twice with some worry. If the young man named Li Yuanfang could get the job, his future would definitely be limitless. After all, he had already laid a solid foundation before he even entered the court.
Yu, Xin, Yue... these guys who had been recommended by him felt that if one day, the young man Li Yuanfang suddenly called out to them, saying that being an official was meaningless, why not follow him to travel the world and eliminate evil, these people would probably resign on the spot and join him in doing great things.
So, a new question arises, what is the recommendation channel for Li Yuanfang?
The general continued to cough, not understanding what was going on. He frowned and thought about the possible options.
The political system of Great Yan was relatively simple. As a key administrative body of Yan, the Xuanzhengsi (Proclamation Office) was headed by the Xuanzheng Pingzhang (Pingzhang), who shouldered a heavy responsibility. The Xuanzhengsi was primarily responsible for handling the country's daily affairs, coordinating the work of various departments, and ensuring the smooth flow of government orders.
The prefecture was the basic unit of local administration in Yan State. Each prefecture had a governor, the chief executive. This governor was responsible for overseeing the economy, culture, education, and other matters within the prefecture, ensuring local security and stability, and ensuring a peaceful and prosperous life for the people. They served as both the imperial court's local representatives and the "parents" of the people.
In addition, there are special city units, such as Longmen. These mobile border cities, due to their unique geographical location and strategic significance, are endowed with extremely powerful military and political administrators. As the highest military and political leader of Longmen, the Governor is responsible for coordinating military defense, material allocation, border trade, and other matters to ensure the security and stability of the border. They are both military commanders and decision-makers in local administration.
Then there's Yumen. The governor here isn't a governor, but a general. As a crucial military fortress, its generals must possess exceptional military prowess and a resolute will to withstand any impending war. Responsible for commanding the army and defending the nation's territory, they form the backbone of Yan's defense.
In the capital, Baizao, the cabinet bore the brunt of the responsibility. As the leading body of Yan State's core central government, it held a crucial position. Cabinet members were appointed by the emperor himself and were responsible for deliberating state affairs, drafting laws, and overseeing the work of the six ministries. The cabinet ensured the efficient operation of state affairs and the scientific nature of decision-making.
Beneath the cabinet, a group of powerful officials known as the "Three Dukes" (三公, literally "Three Dukes") wield considerable power. These are the Grand Tutor, the Grand Marshal, and another currently vacant position. The Grand Tutor is responsible for educating the princes and assisting the emperor in government affairs; the Grand Marshal oversees the nation's military and serves as the supreme commander of Yan's defense. While the exact extent of these three officials' power and jurisdiction is unknown, their importance within Yan's political system cannot be ignored.
In Yan's legal system, the "Three Law Departments" played a crucial role. The Ministry of Justice, the Supreme Court, and the Suzhengyuan were responsible for hearing criminal cases, reviewing cases, and supervising officials, respectively. These three departments exercised mutual restraint and oversight, jointly maintaining Yan's legal order and fairness and justice.
As well as the six ministries, namely, the Ministry of Personnel, the Ministry of Revenue, the Ministry of Rites, the Ministry of Military Affairs, the Ministry of Justice, and the Ministry of Works. The Ministry of Personnel regulates the behavior of officials, the Ministry of Revenue manages household registration, taxation and other matters, the Ministry of Rites stipulates etiquette norms, the Ministry of War ensures military order, the Ministry of Justice punishes criminal acts, and the Ministry of Works is involved in engineering construction, handicraft development and other aspects.
To sum up, Yan State’s political system and legal system are like a sophisticated machine. Each department and official performs their duties and cooperates with each other to maintain the country’s operation and stability.
After the Taiwei reviewed all the officials in Da Yan, he still couldn't figure out through whom Li Yuanfang had submitted his recommendation letter. Could it be that old man, the Taifu? It was unlikely. If that old man had met a young man like this, he would have let him run wild. He would have arrested him and put him to work long ago.
In short, let's go find the Holy Lord first. No matter what, the appointment is ultimately decided by the Holy Lord. It's impossible that the Holy Lord doesn't know the background of this young man.
Wait, today is the holiday for His Majesty’s birthday... Never mind, His Majesty is probably free in the palace right now, and I, an old man, wouldn’t mind if I went over and chat with him.
Thinking of this, the general went towards the palace while coughing. On the way to the palace, the general received a message from the guards, saying that the emperor had approved a memorial, asking the Ministry of Works to build a new mansion for Prince Chen of Longmen.
Prince Chen, the name made the Grand Marshal dazed for a moment. He had almost forgotten about Chen Huijie, the young royal family member. However, that young royal family member didn't seem to cause any trouble, so how come the emperor suddenly remembered him and wanted to build an official residence for him?
Could it be that His Majesty wants to ease the relationship with his brother?
The Grand Marshal subconsciously thought so, but immediately shook his head in denial. Unless the Longmen man returned to take over the throne, His Majesty would not be the first to bow his head and ease the situation. So, was it Longmen who admitted their mistake? Speaking of which, the initial commotion at Longmen was quite unexpected. How could they even bring Victoria's crown prince issue to our Great Yan?
But unfortunately, when he got the news, it was too late. Otherwise, if Victoria really wanted to make some trouble with this, he wouldn't mind confronting Victoria. Some people, seeing that Dayan had been quiet for too long, really thought that I, Dayan, had lost my ability!
"Master Taiwei, please take a rest today. I don't know why you came to the palace."
At this time, the voice of the imperial guards was heard outside the car. The general coughed and said that he had important matters to discuss with the emperor, and asked the guards to go and report.
However, the Grand Commandant noticed the Imperial Guard's hesitation. He felt he understood the Imperial Guard's hesitation and continued:
"Go ahead and report it. If His Majesty blames me, I will bear the responsibility."
"Master Taiwei, how about... you just hand in a memorial?"
However, the imperial guards were still unwilling to let the general in. They refused to budge and said:
"If that doesn't work, you can whisper to me and I will tell His Majesty."
"you...."
"Let the general follow me."
Just as the Taiwei raised his eyebrows and was about to get angry, a light voice came over. It was the Taifu. He walked over from the palace, glanced at the imperial guards, and said softly:
"If there is a problem, the general and I will shoulder it together."
"Yes."
At this point, the imperial guards no longer insisted, helped the general get off the carriage, and then asked the tutor to lead the general towards the palace.
"What are you doing with the Holy Lord, you old fellow? So mysterious, cough cough cough..."
The general looked at the tutor with suspicion, and the tutor smiled and led him to a study. Looking at the table full of memorials, the general sighed helplessly. He didn't expect that the emperor had accumulated so many memorials that had not been dealt with. However, it was the emperor's birthday holiday after all, so he couldn't make any suggestions.
But at this moment, the Grand Tutor casually picked up a memorial and handed it to the Grand Commandant. The Grand Commandant looked at the Grand Tutor with some surprise, then casually opened the memorial, glanced at it twice, and suddenly closed it, saying in surprise:
"The Saint has approved all of this. Ahem, no, this isn't the Saint's handwriting. Who approved this on His Majesty's behalf? Where's the Saint? Ahem, ahem..."
"Don't worry, don't worry. The emperor is fine and is working hard on reviewing the memorials. Look, the shorter ones are the ones reviewed by the emperor."
The Grand Tutor calmed the Grand Commandant down and said with a smile:
"There are some things I should tell you about. Right now, Chen Huijie...my new disciple, is helping to process the memorials."
Chen Huijie? New disciple?
