Chapter 221 How can you, cardinal, not do things?
"Is this bird the surprise you want to give me?"
Hu Liena looked at the colorful bird standing on Fan Yun's right forearm, her tone unexpectedly filled with doubts.
Hu Liena knew the bird that Fan Yun wanted to give her.
Parrots, also called mockingbirds, can speak human words and have intelligence that far exceeds that of ordinary birds. They are pets kept in the homes of some dignitaries to relieve boredom and troubles.
But how could he think of giving this to himself?
Hu Liena had some doubts in her heart.
"Yes, this is the gift I want to give you. His name is Badi. He is a parrot. He can speak human language and has no problem at all in simple communication with people."
Stretching out a finger and tapping the eighth brother on the head, Fan Yun said to him: "Come, eighth brother, say hello to our holy lady."
"Hello, Your Highness the Saint! Xiaoba has met Your Highness the Saint! Your Highness the Saint is so beautiful!" Brother Ba's high-pitched voice immediately sounded.
"Haha, the little mouth is so sweet." Hu Liena smiled and tapped the head of the parrot in front of her, then looked at Fan Yun, "Did you teach me this?"
Shaking his head, Fan Yun denied it: "I didn't teach you to have a sweet mouth. It should have been taught by the original flower and bird shop owner, in order to sell better."
After saying that, Fan Yun patted the eighth brother on the back of the head and asked him to go to Hu Liena. The parrot was obedient, spread its wings, flew to Hu Liena, and landed on her raised left arm.
Stretching out a finger to tease the little bird that Fan Yun gave her, Hu Liena looked at Fan Yun and asked:
"Why did you suddenly think of giving me this? For most people, parrots are used to relieve boredom and pass the time. But I, as you know, practice and handle official duties on weekdays already occupy most of my time, so I will not be idle.
I have nothing to do and need to kill time, so the meaning of giving this bird to me is not big."
"Besides, I'm very busy. I shouldn't be able to take care of this eighth brother on weekdays, so I leave it to my servants to take care of me. What's the point of giving it to me?"
Hu Liena was very confused. As her friend, she had told him a lot about herself. Fan Yun shouldn't know her current situation, so why would he give her a parrot whose entertainment value was greater than its use value?
Hu Liena also thought that she knew Fan Yun relatively well. This friend of hers generally would not do baseless things, so this gift must have deep meaning.
Squinting his eyes and smiling, Fan Yun straightened his sleeves and suddenly asked Hu Liena: "You should know that I can communicate with birds, right?"
"Yeah, I know." Hu Liena nodded.
Fan Yun has never concealed this, and he has seen several scenes where he seemed to be talking to birds.
Although it is strange, there are many strange things on Douluo Continent. Even soul beasts can turn into people. It seems okay that people can talk to birds. But does this have anything to do with parrots?
Pointing to the eighth brother standing on Hu Liena's arm, Fan Yun explained: "In the past, when I was not in Wuhun City, communication basically relied on letters, and there was often a time delay. It was difficult for me to help with some major and urgent matters.
to you."
"With this eighth brother, in some more urgent situations, you can directly tell him to find me and tell him the matter. He can tell me the news immediately, and then I will tell him my thoughts through his mouth.
You, Brother Eight, can be used as a sounding board and a transfer station for long-distance communication between you and me."
"Huh?" Hu Liena frowned and folded her pretty eyebrows, "Let this parrot serve as a sounding board. Wouldn't it take time for it to fly from me to you? Maybe it's not as fast as mail."
"That's not right~" Fan Yun shook his head and continued, "Brother Eight doesn't need to fly to my side, he just needs to stay here with you."
"Then how did you..."
Hu Liena's voice suddenly paused. She originally wanted to refute that the parrot was always by her side. How could Fan Yun know what she said to it, but a possibility appeared in her mind.
"Can you communicate with birds over long distances?" Hu Liena's voice was filled with hesitation and uncertainty.
The communication between humans and birds is very strange, but it is still within the scope of understanding, but instant communication over long distances...
Although Hu Liena's knowledge is limited, the current Douluo Continent has never even heard of long-distance real-time communication between people, let alone people and birds.
"Hmm~ That's okay." Fan Yun narrowed his eyes and nodded.
"Ah...that's it..." Hu Liena said with a dull face as she slowly moved her gaze away from Fan Yun's face and turned to the bird on her arm.
Seeing Hu Liena's performance, Fan Yun smiled, walked behind Hu Liena, pushed her a few times, and said: "Let's go, today's training is over, it's time to go back to the Pope's Palace, don't you still have things to deal with?"
?”
"Well, you're right." Hu Liena didn't dwell too much. It was indeed time to go back. There were still a lot of things to do today.
After that, Hu Liena followed Fan Yun and left the training ground, walked out of Wuhun Academy, and walked towards the Pope's Palace.
On the way, Hu Liena was silent, probably because she was shocked by Fan Yun, but Fan Yun told her that the eighth brother he gave her didn't need much care. He could go out to find food on his own and was very well-behaved and smart.
, does not require too much care.
Hu Liena nodded, indicating that she understood.
In this way, the two of them walked to the side of the Pope's Palace and walked in through the side door of the Pope's Palace.
As one of the most magnificent buildings in Wuhun City, the Pope's Palace naturally has more than just the main entrance.
As the main entrance of the Pope's Palace, the main entrance is generally used to receive foreign guests or other more formal occasions. The daily access of people inside the Pope's Palace is mainly through several side doors.
After returning to the Pope's Palace, Hu Liena needed to go back to her room to practice and consolidate her training results, while Fan Yun also needed to see his big cat, so the two were ready to separate.
After saying goodbye, Fan Yun was about to leave when he was suddenly stopped by Hu Liena from behind.
"Fan Yun, are you free tonight?"
"Hmm?" Fan Yun turned around and looked at Hu Liena, "I'm free, what can I do?"
"Didn't I say it before? I want you to help me handle the government affairs of Wuhun City and give me your opinions. Today is another day for me to help the teacher review and approve opinions, so I just want to ask you if you are willing to help me.
"
"Oh, that's it." Without much hesitation, Fan Yun agreed to Hu Liena's invitation.
"But does Your Majesty agree to my participation in the governance and approval of Wuhun City?"
"Of course, I asked the teacher. Don't underestimate the teacher's trust in you, and don't underestimate your own ability." Hu Liena said with a smile, "Several of the measures recently promoted by Wuhun City are based on
Your suggestions have been implemented, and the teacher and I both feel that your opinions are very important."
Touching the back of his head, Fan Yun was almost embarrassed by Hu Liena's praise.
Fan Yun really didn't think that he was very good at handling government affairs. He just expressed what he had heard from the old man, what he had read in books, and some of the ideas that he had thought of. Most of them were even
It is very immature and difficult to implement.
The recent measures implemented by Wuhun City were introduced by Mian Xiang and Hu Liena after they transformed and optimized their own opinions and ideas based on actual practice.
"And you are now the Cardinal of Wuhun Palace, and one of your duties is to provide advice to the Pope. I also help the teacher handle things, so it is not overstepping your authority for you to help me."
"And how can anyone hold a post but not do anything? Tell me, what have you, the Cardinal, done during this time? You must play a role!"
"Come and help me. It just so happens that I can also teach you how to deal with these matters, which you will definitely need in the future. In the future, the work I am doing now will be handed over to you."
"Okay, then when will I find you?"
Raising the eighth brother on her arm, Hu Liena said to Fan Yun: "I'll let him notify you when the time comes. I also want to see how you guys talk on the phone."
