Steel Chang'an

Chapter 63

"You never told us that your eldest brother has such a female military adviser."

"To tell the truth?" Xiao Teng Wang shook his head and drank the wine in the glass, "I just found out that my eldest brother has such a female military adviser, and it is the entire Donglin—no, it should be said The hottest female military adviser in the entire continent." He tapped the empty cup and signaled the butler Ji to pour him another cup, "If I had known earlier, I would have sacrificed my body to get close to her to spy on me Big brother's details."

"Then you're not at a disadvantage. I, Lao Zhang, have never seen such long legs in my life," said Lao Zhang with endless aftertaste. "When she appeared, those knights in the hall seemed dumbfounded. One fella even dropped his sword." He shook his head thoughtfully, "I think she likes older ones, she even makes you call her aunt, if there is such a chance of devotion, let my old Zhang come Bar!"

"It's useless." Mu Yun said suddenly, "She won't be interested in you."

"Why do you say that, kid? Just because you stood closer to her just now?" Lao Zhang said unconvinced, "She is not interested in a one-in-a-million guy like us. Does she have any interest in women?" interest?"

Mu Yun sighed, "She's not human." Even he himself couldn't believe it when he said this - he had never seen a woman like her who exuded infinite charm from head to toe, and even her voice. No woman can compare with her, even the dark-skinned beauty whom King Xiao Teng hooked up with before, she was the most beautiful girl in the whole hall before Shisan appeared, even Mu Yun felt for her I was amazed.But after Thirteen appeared, she was like a lamp under the sun, the light was completely covered up.He couldn't tell how beautiful Thirteen's facial features were, but she was a real woman, and compared to her, the beautiful girls in the hall were just girls.

And she wasn't human.

"I saw the same Zhizu logo on her forehead as Butler Ji, that wedge-shaped blood crystal." Mu Yun said.

"That's absolutely impossible." Little King Teng said decisively, "Our Teng family has only Ji Yan for so many years. As long as Ji Yan is there, it is impossible for my elder brother to get the contract of the second wisdom clan."

"Ji Yan is your steward now," Mu Yun was a little confused, "Your elder brother is the master of the Eastern Forest, so it's not easy to find yourself a military advisor from the Zhi Clan?"

"That's impossible." King Xiao Teng said, "The Zhizu are different from the servants or the Rui. Their contracts cannot be bought with money. They are the oldest race of artificial humans on this continent. Just as rare as dragons, they are like the legacy left to us by our ancestors. Only the oldest and most powerful families on this continent are eligible for their contracts, and for balance, each family can only have at most A smart contract, this is the rule of the wise - in other words, they choose the family to make the contract, not us choose them."

According to legend, the Zhizu was first designed to record the civilization and history on the human home planet.Xiao Teng Wang explained that their artificial brain has a special database, which can store and call huge information data without connecting to an external database, and also has computing and processing capabilities comparable to a supercomputer.A category of human civilization is stored in the brain of every Homo sapiens: technology, language, music, architecture...the history and knowledge about all of them.They are like the guardians of the civilization of the human parent planet, and they are also the recorders of the civilization on this continent. The elders who govern the Zhizu composed of the first generation of Zhizu will send them to various parts of the continent. Behind the aristocratic families are the figures of the Zhizu. They assisted the previous patriarchs behind the scenes to maintain the rule of all territories, and at the same time recorded everything that happened on the mainland.According to legend, even if there is no historical data handed down to the Millennium War, there is a complete record in the octagonal tower on the tomb island where the Zhizu Elders' Association is located.

"The Teng family was able to get the contract of Ji Yan because my great-great-great-great-grandfather got rewards for helping the Zhi people by some coincidences 300 years ago." Little Teng Wang said, "The Teng family already has a In the case of the smart race contract, they will never give my elder brother a second smart race contract."

Mu Yun couldn't help but think of what Thirteen said to King Teng: I'm definitely much older than you think...

"I can't see it, it turns out that Butler Ji is so old," Lao Zhang turned around, looked at the silver-haired young man standing behind him with a wine bottle in his hands and an elegant and humble smile on his face, and shook his head. Shaking his head, he took the wine bottle from his hand, filled it up and said, "Don't look at me as a rough person, I'm not like some people, I still understand the principle of respecting the old and respecting the virtuous, this wine bottle is still mine. Come and take it!"

I think you obviously want to take the opportunity to drink a few more sips of the bar!Mu Yun secretly rolled her eyes in her heart, but she heard Lao Zhang say: "According to what the little prince said, the Teng family will not have a second Zhizu, but it doesn't mean that the female military adviser next to your elder brother is not a Zhizu." what?"

"You mean, she comes from another family..." Xiao Teng Wang's face became serious, "This is equivalent to saying that there is another force behind my elder brother... another one who is qualified to have the contract of the Zhizu The ancient family of..."

"The premise is that this kid didn't misread what he said." Lao Zhang stretched out a finger and pointed at Mu Yun.

"My eyesight has always been good." Mu Yun said with a straight face.But in fact, he was far less confident than he said in his heart.He still has a lot of doubts: Even if Shisan is from the Zhi family, even if she comes from a powerful ancient family, even if the force she represents controls Teng Wengong's every move, that is not enough to explain why she Being able to change Teng Wengong so quickly and completely - not just his attitude, but the changes that have taken place in his whole person...

"Ji Yan," he heard King Teng turn around and asked Steward Ji, "Can you find out which family Zhi Shisan serves?"

"It is not allowed among the Zhizu to inquire about or discuss the masters served by other Zhizu, but Ji Yan will find a way." Ji Steward said, "Although Thirteen is probably just a pseudonym, her appearance is very distinctive. Ji Yan believes that no one will be unimpressed after seeing her. If necessary, Ji Yan will go back to Tomb Island once."

"Very good," Little King Teng was still saying something, but Mu Yun wasn't listening, he noticed that Li Jing hadn't spoken.He was leaning against the pillar, holding a wine glass in his hand but rarely drinking.His eyes were fixed on the box where Teng Wengong disappeared, and his face was even paler than when Teng Wengong was restrained by the sword just now.

"Are you injured?" Mu Yun asked in a low voice. He glanced at Su Sheng who was standing next to Li Jing. The latter seemed to be proficient in putting his shoulders against Li Jing's armpit, and using his body to prop up without a trace. Hold Li Jing's weight, lest he slip and fall, "Don't tell me you're drunk now." Mu Yun frowned.

"The boss drank a little too much after he arrived in Donglin." Su Sheng nodded solemnly in agreement.

"You all underestimate my drinking capacity too much." Li Jing forced a smile and tried to stand up straighter, "It's just an old injury, and it will be fine after a while. But the situation is really not good. The situation in Donglin is worse than I imagined. It's more complicated..." He squinted his eyes, and finally couldn't help taking a sip of his wine, "I'm starting to worry that it's a bad idea to agree to King Xiao Teng's battle in Spring Hunt."

"Why..." Mu Yun just wanted to ask Li Jing if he also noticed Teng Wengong's strangeness like himself, but he heard a familiar voice behind him: "Master."

Snow Maiden stood behind him.The small face is covered with a black half-mask like other sharp people.She stayed on the deck after boarding the ship, so as not to be recognized by the crowd in the hall as the sharp clan guard of the young master of Eagle Castle.She heard the scuffle in the hall on the deck, and slipped in quietly. The pillar she chose to ambush was not too far away from Mu Yun and the others, but it was not her turn to act. The farce is over.

"I've seen that person." Xue Nu stepped forward, stood beside Mu Yun, and said in a voice that only he could hear.

"Teng Wengong?"

"No, that woman." She continued to lower her voice, "I saw her give the fire to the young master of Eagle Castle, who is also my former master, the man who died in Death Castle."

There was a sharp gasp.Mu Yun turned his head abruptly.Only then did he notice that Xiao Ye had been standing on the other side of him.She had obviously heard what Xuenv said. "The young master of Eagle Castle... is dead?" she asked in a low voice.Mu Yun lowered her head and noticed that her fingers on the hem of the skirt were trembling violently. The skirt carefully selected by the housekeeper was already wrinkled by her.

"This question." He glanced at Xue Nu and gave her a wink. "It's better for us to go out and talk."
