A man in the ark was forced to become a king

Seeing the burning color on Xi's face, Lin Lu's heart trembled. If she hadn't had a 'battle' with Lani just before, she might be on fire again now.

The soft mane rubbed against the back of her hand, and the tip of her tail trembled slightly. Xi turned her head, and her pointed ears drooped downward, shining red.

"Woo~"

When you pinch it with your fingers, you will feel it is cool and soft. The surface looks smooth, but in fact it is covered with fine, plush-like scales, which feels very comfortable to the touch.

Speaking of which, although this world is filled with all kinds of beast-eared girls, it was the first time since I came to this world to play with my tail at such a close distance, and it felt... very strange.

Xi lowered her head and hummed in her throat. She narrowed her eyes slightly in shyness, as if she felt comfortable being touched.

What's going on with this feeling of touching a private sensitive spot even though you haven't actually touched your body?

While pinching the tail in her hand, Lin Lu couldn't help but fell into deep thought.

"Ugh...stop, stop."

The tail with a green mane detached from the palm, turned around flexibly, and wrapped around the wrist.

"Of course, it's an honor to be your partner."

Touching the top of Xi's head, soft hair passed through her fingertips, carrying the fragrance of ink, and the thick bookish smell was very pleasant.

The person in the painting, the fairy in the painting, according to Yan Guo, Xi is a typical Jiangnan beauty. Apart from being a little timid, the fairy in the painting has almost no flaws. She is one of the best in appearance and character. I don’t know how many people will look at me when I walk on the street.

Who can have the heart to refuse such a partner?

Lin Lu couldn't do it anyway.

In the girl's expectant eyes, Lin Lu smiled and nodded, and said softly: "Then, from today on, we can try to get along in a different way. The sacred golden tree connects us, and I will be your strongest anchor. ."

"Change, try another way...?"

Facing the smiling eyes, Xi waved her hands hurriedly, her panic evident in her expression.

The random thoughts and the ambiguous movements of using her tail to seduce people had probably exhausted the courage she had accumulated over the past few hundred years. The strong shyness caused her brain to begin to overload - she thought again of the strange things she had bought recently. What a weird comic!

It was because she had seen too much of that kind of thing that she could have such a shameful act because of Nian's random thoughts!

When I bought it, I just thought the paintings were strange, and the eyes of the people next to me were also strange. But who would have thought that in a hundred years, the paintings in the world would look like that? !

How did they have the nerve to draw that kind of thing on paper and sell it!

The more he resists, the memories can't stop coming out, and he can't calm down at all. The owner's mood can't be stabilized, and the world in the painting constructed through authority is directly affected - the most obvious manifestation is the originally clear sky. The sky suddenly became gloomy, the sky was dim, billowing dark clouds gathered from nowhere, and there was a faint sound of thunder.

In the blink of an eye, a strong wind rolled by, and the sky became dark and the earth darkened, as if the world had changed.

Seeing this, Lin Lu couldn't help but shook her head, quietly approached, and hugged the girl from behind who was stunned, her expression constantly changing.

The relaxed tail straightened instantly, and Xi snorted softly, twisting her body to get free, but she didn't use much strength. It was more like acting coquettishly than breaking free from the restraints.

Compared with the lively and overly nian, Xi behaves like a girl who is not in harmony with the world. She is reserved and shy, which unconsciously makes people have the urge to hold her in their arms and take care of her carefully.

The body wrapped in the tight cheongsam was as soft as if it had no bones, and almost melted in her arms. Feeling the slight trembling of the delicate body in her arms, and the pitiful expression, Lin Lu couldn't help but reach out and touch her slightly twitching nose. He scraped lightly on his body, and at the same time he hugged her tighter, and the arms wrapped in front of him suddenly fell into a soft place.

"Book up... Book up, book up, book up, book up!"

Perhaps the ultimate shame reached an unbearable critical point. The girl who was nestled in her arms like a cat a second ago suddenly became ferocious and jumped away like a frightened deer, her bare hands clear. , the surrounding space seemed to be melted ink, wrapping Lin Lu in the shrinking area.

The gentle force pushed on the body, and the feeling of being grounded disappeared, replaced by an empty feeling of falling. Ink mixed with fuzzy colors flashed past the eyes. In a few breaths, the feet were once again planted on the ground. , but it has broken away from the world in the painting and returned to reality.

"Why, were you kicked out?"

Theresia had a gentle temperament and did not say anything immediately. Melina, who had been paying attention here, heard the movement and immediately came over. The corners of her mouth were raised, and her eyes were full of teasing. Lani also came out of the bathroom. He stuck out his head and looked here curiously.

"It was true that we were kicked out, but we succeeded."

Glancing back at the ink marks printed on the wall, Lin Luhun waved her hands carelessly, completely ignoring Melina's desire to have fun and acting very calm.

Being driven out was indeed driven out, but his goal was actually achieved.

When Xi Xi, who is an ostrich in her own little world, calms down, she will naturally come out of that painting. It's just that she couldn't take advantage of the heat to make out, and that's okay.

It’s all ours anyway, so why rush?You can eat it morning and evening.

"Sister and sister together, you are really a beast."

The tone of Yin Yang's voice was elongated, and there seemed to be a sour smell in the air - of course it was fake.

Melina wouldn't be jealous and angry about this. The long-lived species have a different worldview from the short-lived species. They don't care too much about the number of partners.

On the contrary, it should be a good thing to be able to find more companions who are willing to go on in a life that is so long that there is no end in sight.

The premise is that you can see it.

It was precisely because of this that Lin Mianqian didn't hesitate too much when he faced Nian Hexi's straight ball.

Facing Melina's teasing at this time, because she knew it was a joke, Lin Lu was not moved at all, and her expression did not even change.

"Perhaps you should express your dissatisfaction with concrete actions?"

Not only was she unmoved, Lin Lu immediately turned around and opened her arms to hook her palms.

"You think beautiful!"

Melina rolled her eyes, refused to accept this trick, and casually changed the subject.

"There is said to be an ice lantern concert tonight. Do you want to go?"

"Ice Lantern Concert?"

Scratching her hair, Lin Lu recalled carefully and remembered what happened.

In order to hold this ice and snow music festival, the nobles of St. Petersburg have sent invitations all over the world. Naturally, it will not be as simple as just making decorations and letting people party on their own. In order to attract tourists and investment, many world-renowned musicians and Singers are also on the invitation list, such as Emperor.

Their arrival has really brought a lot of popularity to St. Petersburg, and of course it cannot be neglected. The Ice Lantern Concert is the opening ceremony prepared for these stars. To be precise, the Ice and Snow Music Festival can only really begin after the Ice Lantern Concert.

"Go, how can you not go to such a lively scene?"

Thinking of when the Ice Lantern Concert was, Lin Lu nodded naturally. One of the reasons they came to Ursus was to participate in the music festival. How could they miss the most lively scene?

I definitely have to go, but...

Thinking of a certain black snake that gave away wealth and people, the corners of Lin Lu's mouth rose crazily and she turned her head to look in one direction.

Tonight is destined to be a sleepless night. To participate in the lantern festival, of course he must not forget his siblings, beloved relatives and friends. Black Snake has already begun to look forward to this meeting.

-------------------------------------

"Whoo~"

In the gorgeously decorated living room, leaning on the exquisitely crafted leather sofa, the black snake occupying the body of middle-aged Li Boli suddenly shuddered and felt a slight chill on the back of his neck, as if he was being watched by someone. .

Looking up, he saw that the few seats in the living room were already occupied by people, including him, exactly four.

Ordinary nobles are not qualified to participate in this level of meeting, so there are only four dukes sitting here.

Kosich didn't speak, and quietly observed the other old guys - compared to the age of this body, the other three dukes were indeed old guys, much older.

They are all old nobles who have lived from the time of the previous emperor to the present. The wealth they have accumulated is far beyond the comparison with the new nobles who emerged during the great purges of the new emperor's succession. It is not polite, even if Cosiche excludes himself. , the remaining three have enough ability to influence half of Ursus, and even the little emperor who is currently sitting on the throne does not dare to be too harsh on them.

With strength, wealth, and ambition, in Kosiche's eyes, they are the best partners and the most useful chess pieces.

However, if you want to move the chessboard, you have to pay some price, and today's meeting was held for this reason.

The little emperor in the Holy Horse Castle showed unprecedented anger, and the situation in the empire became confusing.

The unknown enemy invading the southern border, the casualties of the internal guards, and the mobilization of the two armies, it can be said that each of them is a major event.

Anyone with any brains can realize that a storm is coming that will sweep across the entire empire, and no one can stay out of the storm.

Chaos is inevitable.

The small nobles and officers were therefore terrified, because they might be caught in the storm and be shattered to pieces. Some capable nobles were eager to cling to higher-ups in order to protect themselves in the coming storm and minimize losses.

Dukes don't have to.

The pressure from the emperor cannot fall on the Grand Duke. Even the supreme imperial power needs to consider the consequences of falling out with the Grand Duke, who holds military power and financial power. Unless the day comes when the two sides fight to the death, the Emperor's butcher knife will never be used. It will fall on the head of the Grand Duke.

Therefore, there is only one thing they have to consider - the redistribution of interests.

Chaos will certainly cause turmoil, but it will also free up a lot of extra benefits, which are ownerless fat, first come, first served.

However, Kosiche is not very interested in this. He knows who caused the turmoil in the empire, and he has ways to solve the turmoil caused by this matter, but now he just wants to stay away from that man, and it is best never to It would be nice to meet.

Chapter 90 Treasures of the Southern Icefields

The living room was unusually quiet. The waiter filled the goblet with red wine and then retreated cautiously, not daring to make any movement.

The blood-like wine swayed slightly, reflecting the dim light.

Being able to be calm enough is a necessary condition for becoming a superior, so all the dukes can be calm, and no one is the first to speak.

Perhaps this is a way to put pressure on the opponent?Or maybe he is used to showing off his dignity in front of his subordinates.

It's like whoever speaks first loses.

Kosich only felt that this behavior was childish. This behavior was no different from children's play. A true strong man never needs to show himself like this.

...such as that man.

Normally, he might be willing to play the game of 'silence is golden' with these old guys who should have been lying in the cemetery long ago in order to make his son appear more gregarious.

But now, he doesn't have this time.

The threat from that man loomed over his back, making him restless, and his 'golden tree phobia' became more and more serious. Sitting in the living room, Kosich even began to feel that Lin Lu was hiding in a corner, or standing openly. They were looking at this from a position that they couldn't see, thinking about how to start.

This made him completely lose his patience with these old guys.

Time passed by little by little and was wasted in silence. Seeing that no one was speaking, Koscich tapped his finger on the table, immediately attracting everyone's attention.

"Is it time to get down to business?"

"..."

The legend spread among the top nobles with a long history flashed through everyone's heart. The three silent grand dukes were all on guard. No one dared to underestimate Cosich just because he was the first to speak. Vice young skin.

The immortal Cosiche, this is a secret legend spread among the upper class of Ursus. Some people regard this as a malicious serious injury or a ridiculous rumor spread from nowhere.

But nobles with enough background know that this legend is not nonsense.

According to the known information, all the Dukes of Cosiche have some of the same characteristics. Some people suspect that the Cosiche family may possess some kind of magic to inherit memories, or some kind of dark witchcraft that can rob other people's bodies. .

None of this information has been confirmed, but there is supporting evidence. No matter how you argue, it is an indisputable fact that all the Dukes of Cosiche are strikingly similar.

They come from all races and ages, and their gender is not fixed. Apart from the inherited duke titles, they should not have much in common, but the performance of the 'Cosiche' dukes is so similar after statistics. Weird.

——They are almost like the same person, the same soul that has survived in history to this day appears on this land with different faces.

No matter which of those speculations is true, it is worthy for the upper-class nobles to be sufficiently wary of this 'alien'.

"Our Majesty gave up part of the appointment power of the new army and three positions in the parliament. At the expense of this, he wants to mobilize the third and fourth armies to go to the southern ice field on the grounds of suppressing bandits. This is ridiculous."

"I don't think that barren land has much value, but the positions of the Parliament and the New Army are indeed worth fighting for. What do you think?"

Duke Nicholas, the eldest person present, pondered for a moment and then asked. Although he was asking questions to everyone, his eyes kept lingering on Kosich, obviously wanting to hear his opinion.

'What do I think?'I sat and watched. '

Kosiche sneered in his heart and did not answer.

He naturally knew the cause and effect of this incident. It was simply that the news of the death of the inner guard reached the ears of the young emperor, giving him an excuse to use it as a breakthrough point to take back part of the power from the nobles.

The southern ice sheet itself is worthless. All the emperor wants is to mobilize the army. As long as the third and fourth armies, which are out of the control of the imperial power, move and all enter the ice sheet, the threat they pose will be great. decline, the hawkish old nobles will fall into a period of weakness.

Of course they can eat the fruits given by the emperor, and they will also exchange some of their interests in the process. For the emperor, this is not a loss at all.

Being able to come up with such a plan out of anger, the little emperor is indeed not without merit. If he can lay a more solid foundation under the wings of the late emperor instead of hastily succeeding to the throne, maybe he can really lead Ursus. to change.

But there are never what-ifs in this world. Ursus's hope is not in him, and he does not know the methods of the nobles. He just wishes that the bait he took out can be exchanged for greater profits.

As everyone knows, sometimes... the fish may swallow the bait and drag the angler into the water together.

"Cosiche, there are your people in the Third Army, what do you say?"

Realizing that Koscice seemed not to respond, Prince Nicholas asked again.

"I have no intention of participating in the fight. The positions of the Parliament and the New Army can be given to you. I don't need any of them."

When he was directly named, Kosich responded simply, throwing away the rhetoric and ambiguous nonsense that would make people rack their brains to think about it, and clearly stated his position - he would not participate in this incident. event.

These Dukes are all directly related to the Third and Fourth Army, and they also have quite a lot of industries in the southern part of the empire, so they will be careful about their calculations and think about how to make profits.

They had no idea what was on the southern ice sheet.

He who does not know is fearless, but Kosiche is different. He knows very well what is on the ice sheet.
