As an official, what's wrong with raising a few monsters?

Chapter 106 Die generously
After being polite to Zhong Deng all the way, it’s time to use him.

sudden changes,

The body with a broken neck lay on the ground, eyes wide open, as if unable to believe why he had lost his life.

It was obvious that the young man treated him very well along the way.

How could...he suddenly kill like this?
He had never imagined that he would lose his life in such a scene.

The other Beilie court officials were also horrified, staring blankly at the crazy scholar, somewhat speechless.

The people of Beilie are straightforward and not as sticklers for etiquette as the people of Qianyuan, so they can sometimes act rudely and barbarically.

You can tell from the difference in the atmosphere in the court alone.

However, in the eyes of this group of barbarians, the behavior of this madman was too wild.

Even those rough military generals would not dare to kill people in the court even if they had the courage.

"Ok?"

Qin Lou also looked at the crazy scholar, as if he wanted to peek into his mind through his body.

People who are unique will always get more attention and focus.

Mingchen's move really shocked him.

This guy is becoming more and more interesting.

……

Xiao Xinyue looked at the scholar in front of her who was killing someone with a smile on his face. For a moment, her mouth opened slightly and she was speechless.

What is this person doing?
Why is every step he takes always so unexpected and beyond imagination?
What on earth was he thinking?
During the negotiation, he brazenly attacked and killed the highest-ranking official on his side in the other party's court.

This guy is really crazy.

There is often only a fine line between genius and madness.

She always thought she knew this person well enough, but he always did things beyond her imagination.

Human beings' understanding of Mingchen does not exceed 3%.

Qian Yuan's messengers couldn't help but shudder, lowering their heads and not daring to look at the strange young man.

I’m afraid that I’ll be the next to die.

If the Minister of Rites dares to kill people in the court, what else can he not do?
Mingchen accurately achieved shocking blows against both the enemy and his own people.

He seemed unconcerned about the brazen murder of a high-ranking official. He simply glanced at the hushed court and said, "Sir, Lord Dong Jingming is the Minister of Rites of our dynasty. He holds an important position, a second-rank official. Is this position of sufficient weight?"

Mingchen took out a piece of paper, stepped forward, and handed it to the stunned minister: "Here is a letter from the prince. I would like to take Lord Dong as my teacher. Is this position of status sufficient?"

"Your Excellency's visit to our country was poorly received, resulting in his death. Now, our Lord Dong is willing to sacrifice his life for the country. What do you think?"

"This……"

Everyone present is not a fool.

Those who wrong others often know best how wronged they are.

After all, the death of the messenger, from head to toe, was just a pretext.

Now Mingchen has killed his own envoy in person to pay for his crime, completely shattering all his reasons.

In a sense, Dong Jingming's weight is much heavier than that of the previous envoy.

Let the aggressive minister speak, he doesn't know what to say.

Or... should we kill another one here?
"Why, our Lord Dong has already bravely died, and you are still not satisfied?"

Taking advantage of the moment when the other party was shocked, Mingchen took another step forward and asked coldly, "Then this foreign minister must be suspicious. Is your country deliberately making things difficult for our country?"

Everyone:...

You call this sacrificing one's life for the country and dying heroically?
Several court officials pursed their lips, looking speechless.

The eccentric behavior of Mingchen has disrupted all the negotiation rhythms of Beilie's side.

"cough!"

Qin Lou, seated high up in the room, coughed softly, interrupting the chaotic peace talks. "Negotiations cannot be completed overnight. Since we haven't reached a consensus, how about this? Envoy Qian will go back first, and we'll talk again another day."

"Yes!"

He is the king, and sometimes you have to give him face.

Even a madman should know his limits.

Mingchen stopped arguing, bowed and saluted, and then withdrew with the other envoys.

Dong Jingming's body still lay quietly in the hall. Several ministers looked at each other in silence.

Everyone knew that Qian Yuan had the upper hand in this first confrontation.

……

In the messenger station,
The other envoys were silent, and their eyes looked at the young man Mingchen with complicated expressions.

This man should be a meritorious official of Qianyuan. He stood up in the court of Beilie, defended the reputation of the country, and argued with the heroes, leaving the other party speechless.

But this guy is crazy.

He is bold and unrestrained, and his actions are unpredictable.

Tension, fear, suspicion... spread among the envoys. The atmosphere was weird and no one dared to talk to him.

Even Xiao Xinyue was silent.

Work is work and life is life.

Mingchen was very distracted, seemingly unconcerned about what was happening in the court. He simply smiled at Xiao Xinyue and said, "Your Highness, I saved your life. Shouldn't you express your gratitude?"

"Huh? Uh..."

Xiao Xinyue came back to her senses.

Yes, this man saved her.

With the sacrifice of Dong Jingming, the matter of the Beilie envoy's death in Qianyuan was put to rest.

As a princess, she naturally does not need the so-called atonement to damage the reputation of the country.

It can be said that at this point, the significance of her trip for reconciliation has ended.

The huge stone that had been weighing on her heart for a long time was finally shattered, and she could finally breathe a sigh of relief.

The elusive person in front of her is the one who changed everything for her.

She bit her lower lip and looked at Mingchen intently: "Mingchen...what are you thinking about?"

Unlike other envoys who were fearful and nervous, she was still very close to Mingchen compared to others.

This mysterious and special brother means a lot to her, and she really wants to know what he is thinking.

"What are you thinking about?"

Mingchen raised his eyebrows, gently stroked the bird in front of him, and said casually: "Be happy every day~"

Being happy every day is a very simple pursuit.

Xiao Xinyue: ...

But this person's happiness seemed to come at the cost of shock to others.

"Your Highness, it's rare that you've come all the way to Beilie. Don't you want to go out for a walk?"

Mingchen seemed to have recalled something, his eyes showing a hint of anticipation. He said to her, "I've heard that the beautiful Beilie is tall, with a prominent nose, deep eyes, and a graceful figure. Compared to our Qianyuan, she has a unique charm. Your Highness, don't you want to go and see her? I saw it when I went to the martial arts arena. The brothel she built is quite nice..."

If you travel so far on business at public expense and don’t take the opportunity to travel, wouldn’t that be a huge loss?

Xiao Xinyue: ...

Looking at this dissolute and wanton playboy, Xiao Xinyue was helpless.

You'd think of taking the princess to a brothel?

"There are guards outside. We can't go out casually."

"Hey!"

Mingchen chuckled, his eyes full of satisfaction: "Your Highness, you are joking. Can those people stop me?"

Look, he's getting proud.

"go!"

……

"Is it not too much for Your Highness to pay for all the expenses today?"

The sun is shining, the breeze is gentle,
Today, there seem to be two special people in the Beilie capital Qingcang.

The handsome and elegant young man and the pretty and naturally noble woman do not seem to be locals.

They were a perfect match, and as they walked along, they attracted some curious glances from others.

Xiao Xinyue: ...

If others heard this, they would think that this man was her lover.

Mingchen has plenty of ways, and he actually took her out.

As for the guards guarding the door, they are probably sleeping peacefully now.

This person acts capriciously and willfully, and really doesn't follow any rules at all.

As an envoy from an enemy country, he can escape whenever he wants without worrying about causing any trouble.

"Your Highness, don't be so bossy. You should have fun when you're out playing."

The two of them were strolling in the market. Mingchen was not worried about what would happen in the future at all. Instead, he smiled and said to Xiao Xinyue, "Xiaoxiao, you are so beautiful. It would be a waste if you didn't smile more~" Xiao Xinyue paused, and after hearing Mingchen's praise, she unconsciously curled up the corners of her lips.

A beautiful woman's smile is captivating.

She was born with a noble air, and seemed somewhat out of place walking on this noisy street corner.

"Relax a little, how can life not be life?"

"No one here knows you. Once you return to Yueyang, it will be difficult for Your Highness to have such an opportunity again~"

What did the seniors teach us?

If you want to pursue a rich girl, take her to eat at street stalls and experience some ordinary and interesting things.

"How tiring it is to live like this? Here, you are Xiao Xinyue, just Xiao Xinyue."

Mingchen's words were like a stone, falling into Xiao Xinyue's heart, causing ripples.

Yes.

Following Mingchen all the way, everything was new and special to her.

If she returns to Yueyang, she will become the second princess again.

Yes, just for this moment.

She is now just Xiao Xinyue, with no other identity.

Thinking of this, she felt as if her whole body was relaxed. She curled her eyes and said to Mingchen, "Okay~"

“Try this~”

The two of them strolled leisurely in the market, completely oblivious to the surprised looks from the people around them.

Mingchen picked up a green hairpin and turned around to put it on Xiao Xinyue.

This action is somewhat beyond the limit, and this playboy seems to lack a sense of propriety.

Mingchen is indeed not a person who follows the rules.

However, Xiao Xinyue didn't hate it.

As the distance got closer, her pupils couldn't help but dilate.

This was the first time in twenty years that a member of the opposite sex had been so close to her, decorating her.

Seeing her own reflection in the eyes of this playboy, her heart skipped a beat for no reason.

"Um...does it look good?"

she asked dryly.

The atmosphere seemed to become strange.

“It’s so beautiful~”

"Ma'am, it looks so good on you. I've never seen anyone as good-looking as you!"

"You and this young master are truly a perfect match~"

Before Mingchen could say anything, the vendor on the side kept praising him sweetly.

When doing business, it's not shameful to praise the customers.
Even if it was a fat pig, he could praise it without batting an eyelid.

There are many people who praise others against their conscience, but this time, he was sincere.

He even felt that the things he sold were not worthy of this noble and elegant woman.

Little did he know that his last two sentences would hit this beauty hard.

What? Ma'am? A match made in heaven?
What is this person talking about?!

“So beautiful~”

Mingchen looked at the beauty with a smile and spoke before Xiao Xinyue could say anything.

I don't know if he is talking about the hairpin or this person.

What if you like beautiful girls?
He would never restrain his love for beautiful women.

"..."

Xiao Xinyue pursed her lips and suppressed the words of defense she wanted to say.

But then,

"Your Highness, if it looks good, then pay for it."

Mingchen glanced at the boss beside him and said with a smile, motioning her to give him the money.

You need to pull the strings when laning.

In an instant, all the beauty was destroyed.

Merchant: ...

So it’s this young man who’s spending the money?

Xiao Xinyue's smile froze, and her originally restless heart instantly calmed down.

Whether it's for face or love... an ordinary man would pay money to buy it for a woman, right?

But this wicked unlucky fellow wouldn't let her pay.

How much is this little thing worth? This person is just teasing her!
Whether it was out of anger or some other reason, a blush on her face was particularly charming. She glared at the laughing man and waved her hand: "I'll buy it!"

Although she looked annoyed, she was actually not angry at all.

The beauty turned into ease, and the embarrassment and shyness disappeared.

The distance between the two seemed to be brought closer by this joke.

"Your Highness, this bracelet is great! Please buy it for me~ I want to give it to someone!"

"I want this bell too. I have a cat at home!"

"I have a child who likes masks. Your Highness, can you buy one for me?"

"Your Highness, take a look at this necklace. Doesn't it look good on my Fuyao?"

……

As they walked, Xiao Xinyue's smile became more and more stiff.

"Your Highness, look, you look so good in this~"

“It’s not pretty!!”

The dignified and elegant princess stared at the man in front of her with wide eyes, "Mingchen!!!"

He wants to be vicious, but he doesn't seem to be very vicious.

“I have no money!”

How could there be such a person?

Why does she feel like this bastard is ripping off the rich?

Are their genders reversed?!
"what?"

"How much did you buy?"

Mingchen suddenly realized and couldn't help shaking his head, sighing: "Your Highness's strength is still not enough!"

Xiao Xinyue: ...

What evil person is the first to complain?
You're still complaining!
Mingchen gathered up his spoils and said with a smile, "Then let's go back."

"what?"

Now it was Xiao Xinyue's turn to be unwilling.

She was a little dazed: "Go back?"

"if not?"

Mingchen pointed at the setting sun in the sky. Time had passed by so quickly without him noticing.

Xiao Xinyue stared blankly, muttering softly, "This... so fast?"

How come time passes so quickly?
Why is this happening?

An afternoon passed by in a daze.

She didn't know what it felt like. She followed this man all the way, with all kinds of emotions surging in her chest. She didn't know what she was doing, but she felt very relaxed.

Subconsciously, she didn't want to go back, and it would be nice if she could continue shopping.

Mingchen leaned closer to her, smiling frivolously, "Why, Your Highness, do you really want to go to the brothel with me?"

Then, before she could reply, he shook his head regretfully: "That won't work either~ We don't have any money!"

Xiao Xinyue: ...

Suddenly, Mingchen lowered his eyes to look at her, and spoke in a rare gentle voice: "Your Highness, are you happy today?"

Xiao Xinyue paused, facing the other person's bright eyes, she didn't know what she was thinking.

After a while, he said, "Happy."

The beauty curved her eyes and smiled brightly, her beauty was stunning.

This was a feeling she hadn't experienced in more than twenty years.

As the sun sets, the breeze gently blows the woman's hair.

On the street, men and women walked together towards the setting sun, the afterglow casting long shadows on them.

Mingchen, what kind of person are you?
