People in Terra, governing a bizarre little country

Ernst was naturally there to inquire about the matter of "going to slap Ling's sister."

As he expected, the sixth-ranking of the Year Beast agents who needed "slapping support" was the one who was supposed to come to Sherag in this Year Beast agent migration plan.

According to Chongyue, the reason she hasn't set off yet is because she has a deep love for that land.

And there is a fragment of a demon in that land.

Shu used her power to suppress the fragment, preventing its contamination from spreading and destroying the entire Great Wilderness City, but she herself was also locked there. If she moved rashly, at best she would be transformed into a "Demon Fragment" due to the backlash of "Cause and Effect," and at worst, she would be completely annihilated.

Therefore, we need Ernst to go and help us.

Ernst informed Shinryu of this matter after the morning court session yesterday, which led to Nozomi's participation in the pavilion meeting today.

In response to Wang's question, Ernst nodded:

"It should be fine."

"Time is tight and the task is heavy. I'll set off this afternoon and try to resolve the problem with the millet as soon as possible."

Ernst offered his suggestion.

Today is the second day since he gave the "three-day deadline," but he still hasn't been able to contact Precys.

He was already prepared to execute plan B, which meant that if he still couldn't contact Lao Pu today, he would summon the Doctor to fight the BOSS!

Zhenlong nodded, personally poured Ernst a cup of tea, then poured one for himself, raising it in a toast from afar:

"Mr. Ernst has worked tirelessly for my Great Yan, and I have no way to repay him, so I will express my gratitude with this tea."

You can transfer the money directly.

Ernst returned the favor.

"Then, Ernst, take me with you."

He didn't want to be seen in a place like a garden, and he didn't really like these kinds of things, so he just said it directly.

Ernst was slightly taken aback:

"Don't you need to contact your helpers?"

"I've already contacted them."

Wang's voice was very confident.

"The whole world is my chessboard; if I want to contact them, it will only take a moment."

But you don't know how to play chess.

Ernst recalled the methods he used when dealing with the Black Serpent.

What you're playing is terrible Go; it's more like Xiangqi (Chinese chess).

This time it's even worse; to deal with Sui, they're practically ready to overturn the chessboard. For you to utter the phrase "the world is a game of chess," you owe the entire nation an apology.

However, on the other hand:

"Are you and Shu on good terms?"

"Yes." Wang was silent for a moment before answering somewhat reluctantly.

Ernst believed that human voices contain emotions; for example, one could directly hear the guilt in Wang's voice now.

So what if you and Shu don't get along? Think about it carefully. Anyway, your relationships with Ling, Nian, and Xi aren't great either.

"Then you'll come with me. Won't she object?"

Ernst asked.

This isn't just needless worry; it's like Ernst trying to persuade Enya to do something, but Ensioudis volunteering to go along.

Ernst could hardly help but suspect that he wanted to repeat the head-knocking scene from The Snow Leopard, which would only cause trouble and escalate the conflict.

Wang clearly understood what Ernst meant.

He didn't deny it, but simply replied:

"Take me with you, I'll need it."

“There’s an agent who isn’t from the millet family, and he’ll probably be there too. You can’t persuade him; only I can.”

Chapter 967: The lower defeats the upper!

The deserted city.

Everything was fine in the Great Wilderness City. The fields were crisscrossed by paths, and people were used to leaving their doors unlocked at night. The cries of the pack animals could be heard from one another. The farmers carried out similar work every day, day after day, year after year, and it seemed that nothing had changed. The tranquility was somewhat boring.

But lately, Shu has been feeling inexplicably uneasy.

His elder brother hadn't come to persuade him for several days. If it weren't for the occasional sight of him leading the children of the Great Wilderness City in physical exercises in the open space, Shu would have thought that Chongyue had already left.

This should have been a good thing. Perhaps the older brother finally came to his senses and gave up, so she could continue to fulfill her promise and stay on this land.

But for some reason, she felt something was off.

This strange feeling might come from the "confident" look her older brother gave her when they occasionally met and ate together; it might also come from the candle-bearer of the Suitai who seemed to be attracted by some important event and suddenly disappeared from the city; or it might even come from the millet's own power of cause and effect, a "premonition" of what was about to happen.

She has that ability, though she doesn't use it often. If she wanted to, she could easily earn the title of master simply by looking at palms or faces. But she prefers that people should decide their own lives based on their own actions, not on other people's predictions.

However, the passive effect of the [Cause and Effect] power still made her sense something unusual amidst the peace.

This was a seemingly ordinary day.

As usual, she would get out of bed at the crack of dawn, when the feathered beasts uttered their first cries to signal the time, and head to the experimental fields of the Agricultural Technology Institute to check on the growth of the newly planted batch of improved varieties.

But as soon as she pushed open the door to her dormitory room, she bumped headfirst into the chest of a tall figure waiting outside.

"Oh, sister, what's wrong? Why are you in such a hurry?"

The person outside the door cried out in pain and rubbed his chest.

Shu looked up blankly at the handsome face, blinked, and was momentarily incredulous:

"Performance?"

"It's me, sister."

The handsome man in front of her was dressed in a traditional Chinese mandarin jacket and long gown. His face, with a faint smile, looked somewhat similar to Shu's. He nodded slightly to Shu.

Shu was somewhat surprised, but then seemed to remember something and said nervously:

"Why are you back?"

A flicker of surprise crossed Ji's face, quickly followed by a genuine look of grievance. Without asking why, he cried out in a mournful voice:

"My sister doesn't welcome me?"

"It's not that I don't welcome you. It's just that you shouldn't have come back at this time."

Shu couldn't help but reach out to comfort his younger brother, but as soon as he did, he paused and tried to pull his hand back.

Unfortunately, Ji was a step too fast and delivered his face into Shu's hands first.

“Sister, there is no such thing as an untimely time. I am willing to come back now, and I can come back now. As long as you don’t mind, nothing can stop me from seeing you.”

He gave Shu a light hug, and out of Shu's sight, a sinister glint flashed across his handsome face.

Whether it's the Si Sui Terrace, the Yan Kingdom's court, or even the Old Celestial Master himself, he wouldn't feel the slightest bit intimidated.

He wants to see them, so he wants to see them. Why should their family's joys and sorrows be subject to the control of a group of secret agents?

He hadn't mentioned this to Shu yet—he had already reached an agreement with his second brother, Wang, that he would use his power to weave a garment for Wang using the vast land and the eternal reign of the Great Yan Dynasty as materials.

A yellow robe!

At that time, the second brother will use this as one of his reliance to challenge and defeat Sui, and then become Sui!

At that time, all twelve of them, including Jie who had already left, would be free, and no one would be able to restrict them anymore. He had already prepared countless riches; the world was vast, and there was nowhere they couldn't go.

Releasing his sister from his arms, Ji's face regained its smile:

"Sister, where are you going?"

"I...I'm not going to the experimental field. Now is not the time to talk about that."

Qi Shu hesitated for a moment, then sighed.

"I need to go find the Si Sui Terrace first."

Jiu Ji was slightly taken aback, narrowed his eyes, and tried his best to suppress his resentment so that Shu wouldn't see it:

"Why would we need to see them?"

"To avoid causing misunderstandings."

Millet Path

"The three agents of the Year Beast have gathered without authorization, which may trigger the [Year Phase]. I am not in a good position to deal with that right now. If something happens, I will notify the Year God's Platform in advance to evacuate ordinary people. At least, the people in the city will not be injured as a result."

"elder sister"

He hesitated to speak, seemingly wanting to say something.

He really wanted to say, "You're overthinking it."

To put it bluntly, what do the lives of ordinary people in the city have to do with us? What you have done for them over the past hundred years is enough to buy countless lives.

Ji and Shu, as well as the other Year Beast agents, are quite different.

He wasn't indifferent to life, but in his eyes, life wasn't "priceless." He learned trading from a merchant and easily surpassed his teacher. He knew that in the martial world of the Great Yan, everything had a price, and human life was no exception.

Moreover, the price of a human life is not very high.

Based on his values ​​and code of conduct, the protection that Shu has given to Dahuang City over the years, if it were to be weighed on the scales of justice, would not be equivalent even if everyone in Dahuang City were on the other side.

Of course, he knew that his sister loved these humans. Therefore, out of love for her, he wouldn't do anything drastic to them, and might even lend them a hand in times of crisis.

He wouldn't let Shu know his true thoughts either.

He pursed his lips, but still didn't stop Shu. Instead, he changed the subject:

"Are there other brothers and sisters here?"

Shu nodded, put on the light purple coat hanging nearby, and said as she walked:

"My elder brother is here too."

Ji's pupils contracted slightly:

"Big brother?"

This is troublesome.

He came here hoping to persuade Shu to leave Great Wilderness City and come with him.

He made a lot of money, enough for Shu to live a life of luxury for the rest of his life. He didn't need Shu to interfere with his and his second brother's plans. He just didn't want to see Shu continue to toil for these mortals.

Especially not long after, the second brother once again faced off against the youngest.

The Yan people are ungrateful. If Second Brother's plan succeeds, his family will inevitably be targeted by the Yan people, because the court will not want to see a second "Sui" appear after one "Sui" dies.

If Second Brother's plan fails, his family will be persecuted even more severely by Si Suitai. After all, they will only think that it was the agent of the Sui Beast who stirred up the Sui Beast problem, thus generating greater hostility towards the agent of the Sui Beast—just like when Jie sacrificed himself... Liu Qun: Just like that time!

At that time, millet will not be in a good situation.

He hoped that the millet could leave as soon as possible.

Although he knew that, given his sister's personality, his chances of persuading her were slim.

But, give it a try.

But now, my elder brother is actually here.

Did he realize something? Had Second Brother's plan been leaked? Was he here to stop Second Brother, to stop me?

Ji was a little unsure. In his luggage was the "Jiangshan Jinxiu" (a beautiful painting of a beautiful country) that was just one piece away from being finished. If his older brother found out about it, given his personality, he would probably destroy it before the [Power] was fully activated.

hateful!

Ji clicked his tongue, his thoughts racing, and suddenly said:

"Sister, where does my eldest brother live? I should go and pay him a visit."

Shu didn't suspect anything and pointed to the location directly.

[Shuo] is the eldest brother of all the Sui Beast agents, and he is also the strongest among them. As the saying goes, the eldest brother is like a father. If the remaining eleven Sui Beast agents gathered together to challenge their eldest brother, there would only be one outcome—Shuo, the father, would beat his son. His comprehensive superiority in strength, personality, and seniority makes [Shuo] very authoritative among the Sui Beast agents.

Even the notorious rebel Wang, at his most arrogant, would immediately shut up and not dare to utter a word if he were scolded with, "What kind of skill is it to bully us here? If you're so capable, go yell at the big brother!"
