The boring life of the white devil

Sure enough, when he opened his eyes in Soleichuan the next day, he knew that he had been awakened by a very loud commotion.

He rubbed his eyes, yawned, and heard the crowds of people outside his house.He opened the curtains and saw that the downstairs of his house was already full of people. Looking at the clothes, they should be the residents who live here.

After getting dressed immediately, Soleichuan rushed downstairs without even having time to straighten his hair and face.Soleichuan's room was on the third floor. When he went downstairs, he saw Aicilia, who lived on the second floor, still sleeping soundly with the door open, and he didn't wake her up.

Although it is said that Aicilia did move into Soleichuan's residence, the relationship between the two is still ambiguous.If you sleep in the same room now, it will cause unnecessary trouble and disputes.Simply sleep on separate floors, and those servants can become witnesses to prove the innocence of the relationship between the two.This is also a temporary solution. After all, people will be suspected because they live under the same roof for a long time, but it can be hidden for a while.

As you approach the first floor, you can clearly hear the noisy residents.

"Please let us meet Lord Cooktron, the hero of the Empire!"

"It is said that I was bitten by the military's dog last night. We want to know if it is true!"

"Please let Mr. Cooktern come out and see us! We want to know if he is safe!"

Some of the words that worried Soleichuan the most also came out.

"Those military bastards! They are afraid that their limelight will be stolen by the heroes of the empire! So they staged such an incident! They want to kill Master Cooktern! They can't resist the invaders from the south! They also want to kill us last hero!"

This was followed by shouts of insults to the military.

Before approaching the gate, Soleichuan first called the butler Marcus to his side, "Did anyone else see what you did last night?"

Marcus already looked worried. He didn't expect that he had just transferred to the Empire Hero's house as a housekeeper. It should have been a joyful thing, but such a big thing happened all of a sudden.

"Sir, I invited Mr. Bukchi to the horse for treatment yesterday." Marcus put on a face of admiration when he said this, "That Bukchi kicked us out of the car because it was recommended by the master. people, so we did as we were told. But I have to say, that Bukchi actually used some magical thing to flash the light, and Belina and Caroline's wounds were healed. But Their consciousness has not yet recovered and they are still sleeping. Master, I think it is still necessary to send them to the hospital, right?...Eh? Master? Where are they?"

When Marcus closed his eyes and talked intoxicated about the miracle Bukchi had shown, Soleichuan was no longer in front of him.

He opened the locked door. When the door creaked, the people outside suddenly fell silent, as if they were waiting with bated breath.

And the person who appeared behind the door was indeed the imperial hero Soleichuan Kuktern they were expecting.

But his messy hair, his sleepy look, and his baggy pajamas were what the people didn't expect.

In this royal city, no one comes to meet others wearing clothes.

But the imperial hero appeared in front of people in such a lazy manner in his pajamas. They secretly thought that this imperial hero had indeed lost some of his dignity. After all, he was now the most popular figure in St. Florid.It is not an exaggeration to say that some of them also represent the image of the empire.

But it is obvious that Soleichuan does not have this understanding. Not long ago, he was just a demon who was disliked by everyone.

He yawned unseemly again and said lazily, "What's wrong with everyone getting together so early? I don't think I said I would have a breakfast banquet for everyone."

The people below were dumbfounded by Soleichuan's words. They gathered on the steps under the gate of Cooktern Mansion. They all showed a dull look. They didn't expect Soleichuan to say such a thing. .

But someone among them shouted after a period of silence, "Mr. Cooktern! I heard that someone from the military sent an assassin to attack you last night. Is this true?"

After hearing this, Suoleichuan looked thoughtful, licked his lips twice, and said, "Oh! You are talking about what happened last night. That was not an assassin from the military at all, but two assassins. A drunkard got drunk and saw that my maid was pretty, so he ran over and wanted to tease her. I gave her a good lesson later."

The people below all had expressions of disbelief. They were filled with indignation and came to seek the truth. However, the initial reaction and words of this imperial hero, who was filled with infinite respect, were unexpected.

Soleichuan rubbed the back of his head and continued, "Well... but thank you for your concern. Everyone must be tired after getting up so early. Go back and catch up on some sleep and have a good rest." After saying that, he wanted to walk into the house.

There was an uproar below, not only dissatisfied with Soleichuan's sloppy image and perfunctory attitude.More importantly, everyone felt that their trip was in vain. In fact, most of them just used this incident to vent their dissatisfaction with the Imperial Military.

"But I saw blood! I saw two men lying on the ground covered in blood in Mr. Cooktern's house!"

Another good person shouted loudly.

"It's really troublesome..." Suoleichuan muttered in a low voice while his back was turned to the crowd, and then turned around, "Wine, when I was teaching those drunkards a lesson, I accidentally tipped the wine over on them. Well... maybe it's because of the poor lighting at night, maybe it looks a bit like blood. Ah... Now that I think about it, I did go a bit too hard last night."

The playful way of speaking made the people in the audience feel surprised again.

The "explanation" has been obtained, but no one has gone back, and no one has the intention to move away from this place, because this is not the explanation they want.

What the people want is not the real truth, but the truth they need.They hope that the heroes of the empire can lead them to overthrow the military, or in other words, let the heroes of the empire lead the military that is always losing battles.Fight back the enemies in the south.

"Do you think you have any objection to what the heroes of the empire said?"

A loud voice suddenly appeared in the commotion of the crowd.

The crowd began to fade away from the middle, and an old man stepped out. His pale hair and beard were already a symbol of age.

Suoleichuan seemed to have seen this person before.

Chapter 6 Chaos and Conflict

Soleichuan had seen this old man in the Congress Hall yesterday. He was one of the conservatives who argued with the radicals led by Ai Fuluo.

"The Speaker of the Ministry of Internal Affairs..."

Someone below reminded Soleichuan of the identity of the old man.

There were about four or five followers around the old man, all with impressive swords on their waists. They looked menacing, as if they were not paying attention to Soleichuan at all, and they were guarding the old man.

The old man put on a friendly look, walked up the steps to the front door of Cooktern's residence, and then said to the people below, "Now that the Imperial Hero has told the facts of last night, do you still doubt its truth?" Sex? Lord Soleichuan is an imperial hero personally consecrated by His Majesty the King of Heroes. If you are so suspicious, you are doubting His Majesty the Fourth King of Heroes!"

A few people who showed unwillingness moved their steps and walked away from the gate of Cooktern Mansion.The crowd slowly became scattered teams and dispersed.

"Master of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, what brought you here?" Suoleichuan didn't know his name at all, so he could only say hello perfunctorily, and things were getting into trouble step by step.

But when I saw that the crowd had gone away, I felt relieved. In any case, it was more convenient to deal with one person than a group.

"There is nothing particularly important. I just want to come and see the newly promoted heroes of the empire. After all, Lord Cooktern is now the most famous figure in the empire. I just wanted to come for a special visit. Unexpectedly, I met someone like this this morning. It’s something that happened, so I said a few words at your door, I hope you can forgive me.”

I saw the old man's name - Chrisman - on the badge of his uniform.

Judging from the tone just now, Chrisman watched the whole thing from the beginning to the end, about the beginning and end of this farce.The smile on his face was obviously fake, and it was completely different from the scolding expression last night.With an aura of cunning and cunning, Soleichuan is not so easy to trust others. He is used to being betrayed and can easily tell what is true and what is false.

"Master Chrisman, you are serious." To be honest, Soleichuan was very unaccustomed to this kind of polite way of speaking, but his mind was constantly churning with words that could be used to express respect, "Speaker of the Affairs Officer of the Ministry of Internal Affairs Sir, if you can think highly of me, what should I say... Well... By the way, Peng Pi is brilliant."

Chrisman didn't show any strange expression at Soleichuan's performance.

At this time, the butler Marcus walked out of the house and whispered in Soleichuan's ear, "Master, the tea and snacks are ready. You can invite Mr. Chrisman in."

Soleichuan seemed to have remembered something, "Oh, yes, Mr. Chrisman, why don't you come in and sit down and talk. It seems that you are not just here to say hello. There must be something important to tell me. ."

Soleichuan, who has already smelled the conspiracy, will not show weakness at the moment.

After letting Chrisman go in first, Soleichuan also wanted to follow.But he was grabbed by Marcus, the butler behind him.

"Master, the pajamas you are wearing now are not in line with etiquette. You should change your clothes first. I will take Mr. Chrisman to the living room."

Marcus and Soleichuan have only known each other for a few days, since they moved to the Cooktern Mansion.As his own butler, he was more than twice his age, but he still acted like a master, which made Soleichuan feel hairy all over again.But every time Marcus's kind attitude and care, like his own grandfather, still moved Soleichuan greatly.

Soleichuan changed into a so-called guest dress. It was a set of clothes that Soleichuan had only seen from a distance in such social occasions. He never thought that one day he would be able to wear such decent clothes.

When he came to the living room, Chrisman seemed to have been sitting for a long time. He was sitting on the sofa in the living room, with half of the black tea in the cup left.

"Long wait." Soleichuan chose to sit down on the sofa opposite him.

Before Chrisman could say anything, Soleichuan said again, "Wait! Let me guess first, what is the purpose of the Chief Affairs Officer's visit to me."

Chrisman smiled and nodded, in sharp contrast to the serious expressions of the four bodyguards standing behind him.

Soleichuan smiled evilly, "Is it possible that there is a young lady in the Speaker's family who wants to propose marriage to me?"

Chrisman laughed heartily, "Your Excellency Cooktern is indeed an interesting person. I'm afraid I will never find another person like you in this royal capital." Then he took a sip and returned the message. With half a cup of black tea left, he pursed his lips. He knew that the white-haired young man in front of him was talking to him, and he probably already knew his purpose.

"Am I right?" Soleichuan rubbed his hands in embarrassment, "Ah, ah, I wonder how old your lady is this year. Mr. Chrisman, please don't look at me as if I am very mature. In fact, I am He’s just 20 years old.”

"Your Excellency Cooktern, I did hear a little bit about what happened last night. I'm afraid you have just arrived in the royal city and you don't know many things. Those guys from the radical faction just think about the war all day long, or they just think about how to do it. Squeeze out the old fire guys like us." Chrisman's expression did not waver and remained the same as before.

Finally he started to steer the conversation where he wanted it to go.

"What? Could it be that his target is the speaker's daughter?" Soleichuan was shocked. "So, it seems that I can't compete with Mr. Ai Fuluo. He is young and promising, and he has the power of a large army. . I must be favored by the Speaker's daughter. Ah - it's really difficult to handle. It seems that I have no choice but to quit. Eh? Did the Speaker come here just to tell me that I have no chance? Something?"

Soleichuan pretended to be stupid to such an extent that Chrisman's face began to look a little embarrassed.

The purpose of Chrisman's visit today was to get close to this imperial hero and offer him a conservative olive branch. But now it seems that Soleichuan's words are already looking down on and teasing himself, but he can at least overcome it. Riesman has experienced many years of officialdom and will not explode on the spot.

But it seems that there is no need to continue what he said next, "It seems..."

I wanted to ridicule Soleichuan a few more words, but I gave it up after thinking about it, said nothing, got up and walked out of the living room.

Chapter 7 Transactions

After hearing the sound of Chrisman slamming the door out, Soleichuan laughed alone on the sofa. Thinking of the old fox-like face turning purple with anger, he couldn't help but become happy.

"Master... is this appropriate?" Marcus on the side knew that after getting along with Soleichuan in the past few days, he was a clear-thinking person, and it was absolutely impossible for him to say such nonsensical dialogue that did not answer the question. It was obviously intentional. Fool that Chrisman.

"Don't worry, I have my own plan."

In fact, Suoleichuan had no desire to talk to the old man at all. He just used it purely for promotion.

He asked the worried butler beside him, "Marcus, can I trust you?"

Marcus was stunned for a moment, and then looked at Soleichuan with an elder's smile. Although he was his master, sometimes he looked more like a naughty child, "Master, although I have always been , has changed many masters. But you are the one I feel the most kind to. If there is anything I need to do, I will do my best." He knew that even the heroes of the empire would have such difficult things. As a It is also necessary for his butler to help share some of the burden. "And since the master has become my master, in my eyes, apart from the King of Heroes, there is only the master."

Soleichuan didn't dare to believe the truth of these words. He just wanted to ask tentatively, but he didn't expect to get such an answer. Marcus didn't look like a person who could flatter.At least for myself who is not familiar with this place, he may be a good guide. The servants in his home are all deployed from the direct relatives of the royal family in the palace, so there should be no conservatives or The radical spies are.

"Okay, help me prepare a carriage. It shouldn't be too high-profile. It's best if it can be seen everywhere on the street. I'm going to the military headquarters."

This place is some distance from the military headquarters. The military headquarters where Ai Fuluo usually works is outside the royal city. If you walk there on foot, you will not only be easily watched by people on the road, but it will also be delayed.

"Yes, sir."

Marcus was indeed a good steward and did not ask why. He believed in the vision of the King of Heroes and believed that although this was a sloppy and lazy white-haired young man, he would be worthy of the title of Empire Hero.

"By the way, drive the carriage to the entrance of the backyard, and we'll start from the back door." Finally, Soleichuan gave another instruction.

While Marcus was preparing the carriage, Soleichuan entered a dark room.He took out a bag from the house. It was very bulky and it was very difficult to drag it out.

When the two male servants saw it, they came over to help and dragged her to the back door.

The back entrance of Cooktern Mansion is a very spacious courtyard, which covers an area twice as much as the mansion itself. It is also a sparsely populated path when you exit.Compared to the busy street at Qianmen, it is indeed an option to go out quietly.

After loading the two bags onto the carriage, Soleichuan stopped the two male servants from getting on the carriage together. "It doesn't matter. I can ask other people to help move them when we get to the destination."

Then he drove away in a carriage driven by Marcus.

Indeed, he followed Soleichuan's request and chose a carriage that was not too exaggerated. The vibrations felt in the car were not too strong because the road in the royal city was repaired very solidly and flatly, and there were almost no bumps. .

After less than an hour, we arrived at the military office.Different from the past few months, the faces of pedestrians on the road have lost a lot of peace and tranquility, and more and more people are walking with frowns on their faces.The successive defeats in the south made it impossible for the royal capital to feel at ease.

Therefore, the military office's office was moved from the second city wall to outside the royal city, which can be regarded as a penalty that is detrimental to the military's work.Outside the third city wall of the Royal City, there is also a residential area for residents. However, unlike inside the Royal City, there are no relatives of officials or religious people here.

Almost all the houses and floors in the royal city are made of white jade, giving people a holy and bright feeling.Once outside the third city wall, the white world suddenly turned into a gray color.

The ordinary residential houses made of gray and brown bricks and tiles do not have the style of St. Floride at all, but because they have had the glory of the royal city before, the people around them almost live a life of good security and no worries about food and clothing. Compared with some other cities, it is still much superior.But against the backdrop of the royal city, it looked a bit poor and sour.

The military office was moved to a suburb far away from the civilian residential areas outside the royal city. Going a little further out, it was almost a place where crops were grown.The house was also in a dilapidated state. Regarding such a punishment, Soleichuan also found it a bit funny. Instead of reducing the power of the military department or replacing the affairs officers of the military department, he used this method to make them Work hard, work with peace of mind, and eliminate all conditions for enjoying glory and wealth.

As soon as Soleichuan came down, the guards guarding the door became nervous.

"Lord Cooktern!"

Almost all of them recognized the Imperial hero.

When Soleichuan wanted to enter the office, the two guards blocked Soleichuan's way. "Lord Cooktern, please stay. Even heroes of the empire cannot enter here casually without Lord Aiflor's order." …”

The two guards looked very embarrassed. They did not dare to offend Soleichuan, and they had to obey discipline.

Ever since Ivor became the Military Affairs Officer, the first thing he did was to rectify the discipline of the military. Many people who could not obey him have been eliminated. Now those who can continue to become soldiers regard discipline as their life. people.

"That's easy to handle. Just call him out. I'll wait for him here." Soleichuan smiled. "I'm very patient. I can wait for him as long as I want. Tell him, see you there or see you."

When the two soldiers were too embarrassed to speak, a resolute and young voice came from the room, "How can a majestic hero of the empire say such coquettish words? This is not a place for you to play pretending to be a family. "

Ai Fuluo doesn't hesitate to speak, and he will say whatever comes to his mind.This is also his usual style. Judging from his arrogant tone, the rumors that have been prevalent in the royal city have not spread here yet.Today is not a regular parliamentary day, so Ai Fuluo must not have entered the royal city.

Soleichuan smiled, because he knew that Ai Fuluo would never be able to speak so easily again.

Chapter 8 Transactions

"It seems that the Chairman of the Military Affairs Bureau is indeed not spending his leisure life in his later years here."

Suoleichuan saw some affairs officers and soldiers running around in the office, all with nervous expressions.

"If the Hero of the Empire is just here to satirize or flatter me, then please go back and I will invite you to be my guest another day when you are free. Our military department is not an organization that just plays around with any title." Ai Fuluo was very happy. He was serious and could see that he was a little unhappy.

Although Ai Fuluo did have the idea to win over Soleichuan, it was obvious that his mood at the moment was extremely bad.

"If I say that I know that two people from your military department are missing, will you invite me to sit in your room and have a long talk?" Soleichuan seemed to understand what he was anxious about.

"What did you say?" Ai Fuluo's expression became more serious, but his tone softened.

So, of course, Ai Luo entered the room where he worked with Soleichuan.

There are no furnishings in the room.

There is a sand table on a large table, which shows the territory of the empire and the layout of the current war situation.
