The planning of the entire Chenxi City, in appearance, resembles the Chang'an City during the Sui and Tang Dynasties.
In front of the government office on the east side of the square, Qin Bin got off the car alone, started the live broadcast, and walked to the governor's office under the guidance of the waiter.
Xiaobai returned to the lord's mansion alone.
It's not that she couldn't go with him, but she considered that if she was there, it might affect Qin Bin's performance. At the same time, she had to find a place in the mansion to set up a teleportation array. After all, Leah and the others were still in the Forest of Life.
The teleportation array between the two places also requires some assumptions. After all, neither Qin Bin nor they have finished their study career yet.
Speaking of the teleportation array, the Void-Breaking Stones consumed by this thing are extremely precious and scarce in the Eternal Continent. There is basically no force in the entire continent that is extravagant enough to be willing to use this material that can be used to create artifacts to construct medium or large teleportation arrays. This leads to the fact that there are basically no teleportation arrays on the continent for people to pass through.
However, when it comes to Qin Bin, it is just that.
10 willpowers for 1 gram of Void-Breaking Stone, a group teleportation array for ten people with a distance of one thousand kilometers, only consumes a few dozen grams when activated once. For Qin Bin now, this is not a big deal at all.
Therefore, Qin Bin and others decided to build teleportation arrays for their own use in four places, including the Forest of Life, the Lost Plains, Qin Territory, and the outskirts of the Kana Imperial Capital, so as to facilitate travel between multiple places in the future.
While Xiaobai was back at the lord's mansion, Qin Bin also met Yan Mond in the governor's office.
In the administrative system of the Kana Empire, the highest official of a province was the 'provincial governor', the next level was the 'county governor', and the next level was the 'town governor' or 'city governor'.
Qin Bin, the actual earl, can exercise the political system of a county-level governor in his fiefdom according to the Kana system, as well as a private army of one Kana standard legion, which is 1 people.
Chapter 221: His directness and her decisiveness
Of course, under normal circumstances, except for the nobles whose fiefdoms are on the border, no Earl of Kana would be willing to maintain such a large number of private soldiers. This is not because he is afraid of the emperor's suspicion, but simply because he does not want to waste money.
Back to the political system, this county-level governor is usually concurrently held by the lord himself, at least when reporting to the imperial capital.
However, because there was no explicit regulation, in order to make it easier for Yan Monde to act, Qin Bin reported Yan Monde as the county governor, that is, the governor of Qin Ling, last year.
What is convenient?
For example, breaking ground on fiefdoms, recruiting outside laborers, transporting bulk commodities, establishing water and air routes, etc., all of these must be reported to the imperial capital by the person in charge of the fiefdom according to regulations.
Although these are basically things that the government will not investigate unless the people report them, if you really do them, there will probably be no bad consequences. After all, many Kana nobles are like this.
However, Qin Bin, who is used to doing things according to the rules and doesn't want to be tripped up by such meaningless things in the future, certainly won't seek convenience.
Therefore, Yan Monde's office is the office of the governor of Qinling Prefecture.
When Qin Bin arrived at the office, Yan Mond was still handling official business with the help of several rabbit-eared subhumans.
If the waiter hadn't gone in to remind Yan Mond, Qin Bin really wouldn't have wanted to disturb her at this time.
"Your Majesty came suddenly, and it was a sin for Yan not to go out to greet him."
Knowing that Qin Bin had arrived, Yan Mond quickly left her desk and came forward apologetically.
In Kana, direct subordinates usually address nobles as "Your Majesty", "Master", and "Master", which basically express that they are the noble's retainers or servants.
When Yan Monde used this title, it was clear that she had positioned herself as Qin Bin's retainer or servant, at least in public.
"Greetings, Your Majesty!"
Several male and female secretaries of the rabbit-eared subhuman race also hurriedly saluted Qin Bin.
Looking at those eyes filled with infinite gratitude and slightly fanatical admiration, Qin Bin really wanted to ask Yan Mond how she promoted him among the rabbit-eared subhumans.
However, on the surface, Qin Bin still smiled and nodded, and gently extended his right hand to indicate that there was no need to be polite, which was considered a relatively polite response.
At the same time, Qin Bin also said, "Yan, I want to talk to you about something in private."
As soon as these words were spoken, the secretaries bowed again and quickly left the office, closing the door behind them.
Also leaving at the same time was a Saint who had been hiding in the dark.
That was Yan's personal bodyguard and also Yan's half-sister, whose name was Yan Mond.
This is a girl who looks 70% similar to Yan Mond, but her talent is entirely in cultivation. She is a three-nothing iceberg beauty who is not good at speaking and is extremely serious.
Qin Bin had also met the other party formally once or twice, but each time he was unable to communicate "normally", as if Yan Mond could only nod, shake his head or say "yes", "no" and the like.
Not to mention Yan Monde, when only Qin Bin and Yan Monde were left in the office, Qin Bin looked at Yan Monde, whose outfit was still extremely beautiful, enough to make any man look at her sideways, and said.
"Yan, thank you for your hard work these days. And, I'm sorry for leaving everything to you."
Yan Monde blinked and said with a smile, "Your Majesty, there is no need for this. It is the greatest honor for Yan and her people to share your worries."
"You should just call me by my name. I'm not used to calling you Lord."
"Your Majesty needs to get used to it. After all, this is related to your majesty."
"I'm not talking about others, but between you and me."
"What does your Majesty mean?" Yan Mond looked puzzled. She realized that Qin Bin was not saying that they could be more casual in their private communication.
Qin Bin straightened his body and said seriously, "Yan, as one of the lord's wives, it is normal for you to address me casually."
"...Huh?" Yan Mond's eyebrows widened.
"This is what I want to talk to you about in private. What do you think?" Qin Bin stared at Yan Mond's eyes with a little expectation.
"This..." Yan Monde opened her mouth, hesitated for a moment, and asked, "Your Majesty, are you kidding?"
"I was serious."
"...Has Your Majesty heard any rumors?" Yan Mond asked again.
"Rumors?" Qin Bin was confused. "What?"
"It seems that the Lord has not heard of it. Yes, every time the Lord comes back, he comes and goes in a hurry..." After speaking, Yan Monde lowered her head and looked at the folding fan that she kept fiddling with with her hands. "It's nothing, actually. It's just that the Lord's appointment of me and his attitude of completely giving up power made the elders of the clan misunderstand the relationship between the Lord and me. Even many nobles in the imperial capital thought that I would be a member of the wedding next month... Well, that's all."
Qin Bin paused for a moment, then apologized, "I'm sorry, I didn't think it through when I threw the matter to you."
"Your Majesty, you don't need to apologize. I didn't bother to explain for the sake of convenience. After all, I think that as long as next month is over, there will be no more misunderstandings. By that time, the general affairs and operating framework of Qin Ling will be basically in place, and I won't need to worry about it anymore... It's just that now that Your Majesty suddenly said this... I really don't know what to do for a moment..."
"Then don't even think about it."
“Don’t even think about it—?”
Yan Mond was a little confused, and then her cheeks suddenly turned red because someone came up to her and hugged her.
"Yan, don't think about it. I'll decide on this matter. Be my woman and one of the hostesses here. No refusal allowed. It's settled."
"..."
Yan Mond was silent for a while, and finally raised her hands, hugged Qin Bin, and leaned her little head into Qin Bin's arms, and said.
"The Lord now finally has some of the demeanor of an old-line noble."
"Being unreasonable is the style of old-fashioned aristocrats, right?" When Qin Bin spoke, his eyes couldn't help but drift to the pair of rabbit ears on Yan Mond's head.
"Hehe~ You said this yourself~"
Yan Monde smiled and her rabbit ears moved, which made Qin Bin feel a little itchy, but he also said, "Okay, I said it."
"Your Majesty."
"Well?"
"I don't want to lie to you, my lord. I didn't reject you just because of my own interests. I...maybe I like you a little, but it's not the stage of marriage yet."
"I know. I attacked you because I knew you would not refuse."
"As expected of you, my Lord. You really understand me. What about you, my Lord? My Lord, I want to hear the truth."
"To be honest... Actually, I am similar, but mine is even more outrageous. In addition to liking you a little and weighing the benefits, I also have the possessiveness brought about by lust. Isn't it terrible?"
"Not at all. I couldn't help but feel a little secretly happy when I heard you say that."
"I see... Actually, there's something I've wanted to do for a long time."
"Eh? What?"
"I've wanted to touch your ears for a long time."
"Ears...wait--woo...whoosh..."
The moment Qin Bin freed his right hand to stroke Yan Mond's rabbit ears, Yan Mond couldn't help but make a sound that would definitely make anyone think wildly and get their blood boiling.
"Sorry...um, I didn't know ears were the...weakness of the rabbit-eared demihumans." Qin Bin withdrew his right hand with a little embarrassment. What was even more embarrassing was that his heart was already filled with ripples from Yan Mond's voice and the gradually warming body in his arms.
"No, ears are not a weakness of my people, but my ears are a little... sensitive. Well, now I will not refuse the intimacy with you, my lord. However, this is a workplace after all, so please forgive me, my lord."
"Oh..."
Listening to Yan Mond's shy and soft tone, as well as her attitude of letting anyone take the opportunity if the occasion is right, Qin Bin's breathing suddenly became heavier.
"By the way, what do you have in your trouser pocket? Is it that hard?"
"Uh..."
Qin Bin's expression froze, and even his ears turned red in an instant.
"Your Majesty?"
"Ahem. Nothing."
Qin Bin suppressed his embarrassment as much as possible and let go of Yan Mond.
Fortunately, Qin Bin was still dressed in the dark magic robe at this time, and there was nothing unusual about him after he left Yan Mond's body that was enough to make any man lose his mind.
Of course Yan Monde heard Qin Bin's response against his will, and after Qin Bin left, she saw that Qin Bin's face was not only unnatural, but also blushing.
Yan Mond didn't react at first and showed a hint of confusion.
After all, she is just an innocent little girl.
But it's not like she hasn't chatted with married ladies before, so after thinking about it for a moment, she slowly lowered her head to look at the waist of Qin Bin's robe, and then she reacted.
Because of this, Yan Mond couldn't help blushing.
Seeing Yan Mond like this, Qin Bin knew that the other party had realized it, and he couldn't help but feel even more embarrassed.
For this reason, Qin Bin had to change the subject.
"Well, Yan, anyway, this matter has been settled. You are one of the hostesses here. Later, you and I will go to see the elders of the clan and settle the matter completely."
"Oh..." Yan Monde responded shyly, but then she came to her senses and asked softly, "Your Majesty, I wonder if Princess Ouellette knows about this?"
"There's no problem with Xiaobai. I told Xiaobai about it before I came here, and Xiaobai agrees very much."
After hearing Qin Bin's affirmative answer, Yan Mond breathed a sigh of relief, then sat up and said.
"In that case, I ask for your mercy for the rest of Yan's life."
Qin Bin looked into Yan's eyes and replied seriously, "I will. And I leave the rest of my life to you."
"......" Yan Mond was slightly stunned, then smiled brightly, "Yeah!"
Chapter 222: Xiaobai and the others' private conversation
As Qin Bin and Yan Mond went from being awkward to expressing their love for each other and then slowly turning to discussing business, Xiaobai, who was in a courtyard in the lord's mansion, and Leah and others who came through the teleportation array, all watched it through the live broadcast.
Xiao Bai said with a bit of boredom, "I thought there would be an office 'this, that, that, that' scene, but in the end nothing happened. It's really disappointing."
Zhang Xiaoyun on the side said, "Junyu's self-control ability is still very strong, Xiaobai, you don't have to expect it. Besides, if something really happens, it would be a bit too much for us to watch."
Xiao Bai shook his head, "What's the big deal? There's no outsider here."
Sophia on the other side said, "Although I was a little bit looking forward to it just now, but thinking about really peeking at something like that, even if they are all family members, it always seems a little inappropriate."
Xiao Bai said, "I don't think so, because I don't believe that Xiao Bin won't ask us to play multiplayer games in the future."
"...!!"
The girls were stunned for a moment, then they quickly reacted and couldn't help blushing.
After all, what Xiaobai said was really too explosive.
Even Xiaobai couldn't help but blush on her face after she finished speaking.
The reason for this is that every one of them here is an innocent little girl.
"Ahem." Soon, Xiao Bai Rushi felt that his words were a bit explosive, so he coughed dryly and said, "Let's not talk about that for now. It's getting late now. We should also clean up our new home."
"Too."
