225. Happiness is fleeting(1/2)
Three years have passed, which is equivalent to the end of Wang Xin's honeymoon period. Of course, this honeymoon period is also the running-in period for Wang Xin and Tiao Tiao to live under the same roof. Although they were inseparable for a long time in the past, they were just companions at that time, and they are not now.
It's the same. To the outside world, they are a husband and wife, so naturally they need to act like a husband and wife. Besides, they now live together morning and night. If it was a performance for others to see at first, they gradually adapted to this relationship.
, it was as natural as a real relationship between husband and wife. In this way, when they slept together, they would inevitably have physical contact. In this way, Wang Xin remembered the secret that Toksin told him. Anyway, the relationship was already so close, Wang Xin
Xin told this story to Tiao Tiao. Tiao Tiao started to cover her ears and pretended to be shy. However, as soon as Wang Xin finished speaking, Tiao Tiao complained, "Why didn't you tell me earlier?" Tiao Tiao hurriedly said.
She opened her own system and searched everywhere for the emotional password. After searching for a long time, she couldn't find anything, so she felt a little discouraged. However, she still said to Wang Xin delicately, "My husband, the king, why don't you start searching too?"
It's not that Wang Xin doesn't want to search, he's thinking about it in particular, but he still has bigger questions in his mind that he wants to know the answer to. In the current situation, he doesn't know what it is. Is it the underworld? Or the fairyland? It doesn't seem to be the case, so here
Where is it? Is it rebirth? If it is rebirth, life like this is not bad, and it seems that this world is quite satisfactory. However, this cannot be the Yang Realm like the earth, because Wang Xin knows very well that the earth
It is impossible to move back and forth between the Yang Realm and the Underworld at will. That is the end of life, and it can only be entered into another process. But it seems different here, and it is between them. If you don’t understand this key issue
, he, the king, cannot make up his mind to stay here at all, and has no intention to stay. In other words, he does not know what his future is, so he will live in a state of chaos every day, and his life will have no purpose, and naturally there will be no
What kind of motivation for life? But seeing Tiaotiao being such a sweetheart, Wang Xin didn't want to disappoint her, so he reluctantly opened the system and entered the self-management system of search. He actually found that there was indeed a column in his system.
Love life. Wang Xin was very excited. He secretly glanced at Tiaotiao's face and felt an uncontrollable secret joy in his heart. If it is true as Tuoxin said, if you turn on this switch, you will enjoy that kind of life just like in the earth.
Indescribable happiness, Wang Xin thought that she would have entered a new stage of life. With excitement, when Wang Xin started to click on it, she suddenly found that it was almost impossible to detect the extremely small ones behind it.
The small font indicates that this column is only suitable for use on the earth. Wang Xin was confused again, so is this place on the earth?
At this time, there was movement outside, and the maid came in and reported, "King, the herald is waiting outside!"
Wang Xin had no choice but to push Tiaotiao, get down from the couch alone, put on clothes, and walked out of the room. When she heard the herald say, "Report to the king, we just caught a big tiger. We originally planned to cook it and sacrifice it."
It’s for the king and queen to enjoy, but I didn’t expect this tiger to be able to talk. It’s the first time that everyone in our city-state has encountered such a situation, and he kept saying that he wanted to see your king!”
"Where is the tiger now?" Wang Xin asked.
"In the cage at the gate of the castle."
"Okay, lead the way, I want to go see this big talking tiger!"
Taking three steps at a time and two steps at a time, he soon arrived at the gate of the castle. There was indeed a big cage with a big tiger asleep in the cage. Wang Xin came closer and saw that it was the tiger from Shen Gongbao Yamen.
So Wang Xin said, "Follow me!"
Wang Xin specially found a nearby room, asked him to put the cage in, and then opened it. The big tiger came out. Seeing Wang Xin, he was very excited. He shook his head and waggled his tail, "Yao Liu Ba," Wang Xin quickly signaled with his hand to stop.
Then, Wang Xin dismissed all the entourage, closed the door, and then said, "Why have you become smaller?"
"This is my skill. I originally thought that I was worried about the people here being scared, so I deliberately made it smaller, but they were still scared. I followed you that day, but out of curiosity, I took the wrong road, so I came back to look for you.
Without you, I hid in the fields. When things stabilized in the past two days, I walked out and was discovered. I could have escaped, but I deliberately let them catch me. I knew that was the only way I could see you.
, I didn’t expect that I was really smart and finally found you.”
"I said, since you can change, why don't you return to human form?" Wang Xin asked a key question.
"Do you think I don't want to?" As soon as he finished speaking, the door was pushed open, and Nezha came in panting. When he saw that Wang Xin and Dahu were there, Nezha scolded him, "You guy
, it killed me. I spent a whole year looking for you everywhere in this place, but you came here to enjoy your happiness. If I had known you were like this, I shouldn't have brought you here at all."
"Nezha, you, the former general, are nothing. I was also a great god in heaven back then. I just made a small mistake and was demoted to the fairy world, where I became an insignificant follower. If you have the courage, just
Beat me to death on the spot, and then I will show you my true abilities."
Nezha didn't understand why this tiger always had trouble with him. He thought to himself, who do you think you are? I don't care what big shot you were in the past. I will let you taste my power today. He went up to the tiger's Tianling Cap.
It was just a punch, but the tiger snorted, fell to the ground, and fainted. Wang Xin felt that Nezha was too reckless. After all, they came out together, so why did he get angry without finishing three sentences?
I held my hand, complaining in my heart, but at this time, something magical happened. The tiger moved on the ground a few times, and suddenly, it turned into a handsome young man. His face looked more like a Theberius.
, nothing like Wang Xin and the others. Just when they were wondering, the young man knelt down in front of Wang Xin, raised his hands and said, "Your Majesty, please bow to Qi Erdan!" Wang Xin knew that this young man was transformed from a tiger.
He was not afraid and quickly leaned over to help him up, "Qierdan, why don't you look like a person from our earth?"
"I don't know, my own past has been like this. However, I still need help from His Majesty the King?"
"Please speak!" Seeing this Qildan keep saying "King", Wang Xin unnaturally took up the air.
"I shouldn't have shown up, but I deliberately lured Brother Nezha into punching me so that I could have an excuse to show up. But this requires you to make it clear to the Jade Emperor, otherwise I'm
It’s hard to tell, maybe when the Jade Emperor knocks him back to his original shape again, he won’t be as simple as just being a big tiger.”
"Brother Qierdan, I didn't expect that this punch of mine did you a big favor. Come and meet me, I am Nezha."
Qi Erdan also came over to shake hands with Nezha. Seeing that the two reconciled, Wang Xin was also happy and said, "Don't worry, if one day I can really see the Jade Emperor, I will definitely have the duty to say a few kind words to the Jade Emperor!"
"Several people came out of the room with smiles. Wang Xin came to the meeting hall and formally appointed Nezha and Qierdan as the marshals leading the army and guarding them with swords. They were also very satisfied and went away with their orders.
The good days did not last long, and as soon as they became familiar with the situation in the city-state of Theberius, the three major factions in the past began to fight among themselves. At first, each faction came to curry favor with the king, but Wang Xin knew that as the king, he must correct his position.
Neither faction should be too close, nor should any faction be alienated. A bowl of water must be balanced, otherwise he will not be the king. However, if he is too soft, these people will be tough. Every day they will come to the castle to cause trouble.
This made Wang Xin very troubled. Later, it was Qierdan who gave Wang Xin an idea, "Your Majesty, you must show the majesty of the king and kill as a warning to others. Otherwise, if you let them continue like this, there will be big trouble. The people of the country will not
Knowing the inside story, if there is chaos in the future and the people are in dire straits, I still think you are not good enough as a king. Therefore, if you want to cut off the chaos quickly, you cannot be a good gentleman!"
"Who do you think you're going to do?" Wang Xin didn't know. He had never experienced this kind of battle. Managing a country is not like a company. Hello, I'm good, everyone. I can't pay a little more, but I have to pay a little more.
Just give me a little more bonus. This is a power struggle, and it's life and death at every turn. Therefore, I agreed to Qildan's suggestion.
"Okay, let's take precautions, and then I'll give you the specific plan."
Qi Erdan went to work, and Wang Xin heard that little Taoist Baba was back, and quickly called him to see him. Little Taoist Baba came in, saw Wang Xin, and smiled, "Yao Liuba, I didn't expect you to be like a king like this.
!”
"Stand down!" Wang Xin heard that the little Taoist Baba was not polite when he spoke. He could pretend to be majestic when dealing with Qi Erdan, but he did not dare to treat the little Taoist Baba. Then he stood up and asked the Taoist to sit down, "Say it, old man.
What do you mean?"
"My master didn't say anything, he just said, everything is destiny." That's all the little Taoist priest Baba said. Wang Xin felt a little unfinished, why these immortals would go around the bush. However, there was no way.
If someone doesn't say something, you can't force them to say it. "Brother Baba, I'll ban you." Before Wang Xin could finish speaking, Baba raised his hand to stop, "No, Yaoliuba, I
I don’t dare to be granted a title, I still hope to be a free man. You are busy with your business, and I will walk around the city-state. If one day you encounter trouble and need my help, just tell me that I am here." The Taoist said.
, Wang Xin also knew that it was not convenient for him to be granted a title, so he let it go. However, the order was still passed down. Whatever Taoist Baba needs, all localities should try their best to cooperate, and all expenses should be recorded in the king's account.
A few days later, Qierdan came to report that he had encountered setbacks in his work. Originally, he thought it would be easy to find a reason to kill a minister and that would be it. This kind of thing used to be easy and nothing would happen.
The sequelae, however, are completely unfeasible in the city-state of Theberius. Yes, Qildan found a minister named Eddie Dusi, who was the minister responsible for taxation, because the accounts had been unclear in the past few years, and Qildan knew that this
The family's property was obviously not in line with his income, so Qildan wanted to seize this point and kill him, but he didn't expect to do so. All three families came out to object, which made it difficult for Qildan, and then they got into trouble with the king.
After hearing this, Wang Xin realized that they only requested that even if Eddie Dusi violated the king's law, he should be handed over to the city-state assembly for trial. As the king's captain of the guard, he had no right to execute a minister. Wang Xin was confused and realized that he thought he had understood
After learning everything about the city-state of Theberius, he only knew a superficial knowledge. At this time, a minister came forward and proposed to hold a debate meeting for more people to participate. At the meeting, the king could make further decisions based on the opinions of the majority of people.
Further judgment. This person relieved Wang Xin. Wang Xin was very happy, so he issued an order to hold a debate meeting on a certain date.
Back in the harem, Wang Xin told Tiao Tiao about this matter, and Tiao Tiao smiled and said, "This is not my business. Whether we can stay here for a long time is still unknown, so I think we should enjoy it first."
Let’s talk about this kind of treatment as a king. If you are willing to meddle in so many other things, you asked for it yourself, and I won’t listen!”
Wang Xin felt that this Tiaotiao had changed. It had only been a few years. She had been satisfied with the current luxurious life and had no ambition at all. But thinking about it on the other hand, it was normal. After all, Tiaotiao was a person.
A woman, this is a good thing. She is married, has a husband, and has become a queen. It is her duty to be able to live a good life with peace of mind. Women, who doesn’t have long hair and short knowledge, will never consider these countries.
It's a big deal. Thinking like this, Wang Xin felt relieved. Whatever, if you don't like it, I won't tell you. Anyway, there are plenty of ministers, and they are willing to listen, so I will tell them.
In fact, Wang Xin somewhat misunderstood what Tiao Tiao meant. Tiao Tiao was expressing her dissatisfaction with Wang Xin's husband. Since I am your queen, you just don't fulfill your husband's obligations. But this kind of thing said Tiao Tiao.
He didn't say anything, so he deliberately made trouble and ignored Wang Xin.
The debate was held in the square in front of the castle. I heard that the king and queen participated in person, and the whole square was full of people. When Erdan just brought Eddy Dusi to the stage, the crowd below was excited and shouted: "Kill him down."
Eddie Dusi, make the city more clean. The slogans became louder and louder. The faces of the nobles sitting next to the king turned pale and red. Unexpectedly, the citizens below actually had this view. It seemed that
This Qildan was fully prepared, and his suggestions were completely in line with the wishes of the people.
Wang Xin knew that the situation had become clear, but in order to respect the leaders of these party bosses, he politely said, "Who do you think will speak first?" Of course, everyone knows that it is inappropriate to say anything in this situation, and it may cause offence.
As for the people, their faction would have no chance of being elected by the next king. So, Wang Xin announced, "Edidus, who is corrupt and commits many evil acts, will leave it to the people's arbitration committee to decide!" Just after the announcement,
There was another burst of shouting from below, and it was obvious that Wang Xin's decision was deeply liked by everyone.
At this moment, a warrior suddenly ran out from the crowd and said, "Report, our neighbor Da Kuiqiu is coming!"
Wang Xin didn't know what kind of place there was in Da Kuiqiu. He glanced at Nezha, who was responsible for the defense. What did he think he should do? But in front of so many people, Nezha was not the right person to speak out. Wang Xin
Seeing Nezha's eyes, Xin had an idea, "Today's rally ends here!" Before he finished speaking, Eddie Dusi said, "Your Majesty, I know that I have committed a capital crime, but now the country is in trouble.
When foreign witches invade, I am willing to go to the battlefield and fight them to the death. My death in the killing field for our city can be regarded as my atonement for myself."
Wang Xin felt a bit bloody after hearing this man, and expressed his affirmation on the spot. Then the people below shouted again, 'Long live the king!'
The meeting broke up, and Wang Xin quickly convened an emergency meeting to discuss how to fight. Only then did Nezha say, "Your Majesty, please give the order, and you don't have to worry about anything else!"
Wang Xin issued a battle order and ordered Nezha to be the commander-in-chief and fight the enemy bravely. However, in order to thank the people for their support, Wang Xin decided to personally supervise the battle. He also wanted to see how the war was fought in this place.
The entire city-state entered a state of war, and all the men signed up to join the war. The women enthusiastically supported their husbands and families in going to the front line to fight against the invading enemies. Nezha organized the vanguard to set off that day. They must be the first to rush to the border to stop the attack.
A day later, Wang Xin, a native of Da Kuiqiu, took Tiao Tiao with him, dressed in warrior attire, and marched to the front line in a mighty manner.
At the beginning of the battle, Theberius had the upper hand, because the Da Kuiqiu people did not understand Nezha's tactics. They saw him going up and down, sometimes flying in the air, and sometimes under a spell. Anyway, at first Da Kuiqiu was defeated and retreated.
Twenty-five miles later, they set up camp. Here, Wang Xin quickly celebrated for Nezha. But he didn't expect that within a few days, the Da Kuiqiu people came back. This time they tried to avoid Nezha's tactics and used firearms as much as possible. These things
