Rick's eyes turned, and suddenly realized that such a fact seemed to be unable to change it again, so he had to change his strategy and said carefully: 'Your Majesty, I just said that I was just a joke to hand over the spoils. Didn't Your Majesty say that this was my settlement fee?'

The queen's eyes revealed a hint of helplessness. After all, the queen had no choice when she met someone like Rick, but the expression on her face did not change much. She said lightly: "I have said before that these ill-gotten wealth powers are better in your hands as your settlement expenses than in the hands of those foolish and loyal church members and ill-behaved people."

‘That’s good, that’s good!’ Rick was so happy that his gold coins were not lost, and said excitedly: ‘Then I will go back to my house immediately, stop all the work in the house, and join me in the Shenfeng Fortress to join the army.’

'No need!' The queen said lightly: 'My edict only allows you to join the army at the Shenfeng Fortress, not including the people around you, so you just need to go back honestly and hand over everything. Your assistant, Su Qiong, who is now in charge of palace affairs, is left for me, and the renovation of the Tao family's old house, as usual, all the things in your mansion will be carried out as usual, and there will be no big changes. I want the people to know that I am not a ruthless person. When you return from the fortress to Boint in half a year, you are still an earl, still your mansion, and still have your position as the commander of the palace guard."

So Rick finally changed color and couldn't speak. If he could only go alone, it would be even more sad than killing Rick. Su Qiong was easy to deal with. Thinking about not being able to bring Kris with him, thinking that there was no Yulu and Fenghuanger by his side, thinking that there was no Qinglu Caifeng and Sifengshi protecting him, thinking that there was no strange elves Ao Ling'er... Rick suddenly felt that his life was full of darkness.

'No, Your Majesty, I can't accept it. You'd better kill me. I can't accept this arrangement!' Rick suddenly fell to the ground and said in a muffled voice: 'If Your Majesty must arrange for the ministers like this, then the ministers will only die.'

The queen smiled slightly, picked up another edict from the table, and recited: "Because Earl of Xia Hua and Earl of Permon's contribution to eradicating the Tianluo Sect stronghold in Boint City, he is now granted the title of Xia Hua and Earl of Permon's first-class divine title of Xiangcheng City fifty miles outside the fortress and several surrounding lands were the title of Earl's fiefdoms. He also authorized to take over this military service.'

When he heard the reward, Rick stood up quickly, looked carefully again, and said, "It turns out that Your Majesty is scaring me, so I should be able to bring the servants in my mansion this time, right?"

‘Servant?’ A shiny light appeared in the queen’s eyes. She said with a strange expression: ‘I think you want to take all the women around you, right?’ Rick smiled embarrassedly, as if he was not ashamed of his thoughts being exposed. Then he heard the queen continue: ‘Don’t say I didn’t remind you, if you took all the people away, I’m afraid that your Earl’s Mansion and that nominal sister-in-law, including the Tao family’s old house you just built, will have problems. You must know that you have far more enemies now than friends.’

Rick's eyes dimmed, and then he asked carefully: 'Then, your majesty, what should I do?'

The queen had already figured out a solution for him and said lightly: "It's actually very simple. You just need to bring a small number of people to the Shenfeng Fortress with you. I will ask the Gong Weijun to take care of you here. But you must leave some strength for defense. You also know that there are not many people I can use on my hands."

Rick breathed a sigh of relief, at least the situation was much better than before, so he beat the snake and said with a stick: "Your Majesty, I want to take an idle general from the Ministry of War. Please agree!"

The queen looked at Rick strangely, nodded for a while and said, "Yes, I will give you another 300 soldiers. Since you have a general who ruled, he will be responsible for the arrangement! If there is nothing else, please step down."

Rick suddenly felt that the queen today was too easy to talk to, so he asked with some concern: 'Your Majesty, I want to know how big my fiefdom is? That, that Xiangcheng City sounds good, and it is very close to the Shenfeng Fortress.'

The queen obviously showed a trace of deceit in her eyes and said casually: 'Xiangcheng is really good. I heard that every spring, when the ice and snow outside the Shenfeng Fortress completely melt, Xiangcheng will bloom with a purple flower called Ziyue. Although the flowers are small, they have a pleasant fragrance, and can even make the whole city full of the fragrance of this flower...'

Rick suddenly interrupted the queen and said excitedly: "I didn't expect that Your Majesty would grant me such a good territory. I will definitely not let down Your Majesty's favor and manage the Xiangcheng properly."

'That's good,' the queen didn't care at all that Rick interrupted her and said lightly: 'Then let it go, go clean up, leave tomorrow morning. I don't want to see you on the Gods Day, because on the Gods Day, I want my maid to read my edict, and the edict includes the content of the exile to you. I don't want others to think that I am a person who just says and does not do it."

Rick didn't expect the Queen to expel the guests so simply, as if she hadn't heard it, and continued to ask: 'Your Majesty hasn't said how big my territory is? How big is the land around Xiangcheng?'

The deceitful look in the queen's eyes appeared again, and she still said casually: "I don't know how big it is. It's very big anyway. Basically, I can reward you with the land north of the God-Feng Fortress."

Rick suddenly became excited and said happily: ‘Really? All the land north is rewarded to me?’

The queen finally smiled and said seriously: ‘Yes, I will give you all rewards.’

‘The words are unreasonable…’ Rick glanced at the queen, as if he was afraid that the queen would regret it. Although he was a little unsmooth, he said firmly: ‘Please give an edict to your Majesty.’

After another half an hour, Rick left the palace with satisfaction and was very proud of the gains. After all, he not only saved the safety of the spoils, but also obtained the fief. All he paid was to leave Boint to join the Shenfeng Fort for six months. Why not do such a profitable business? So Rick happily went home, and even put the person he was going to take to Shenfeng Fortress behind his head.

On the other hand, when Rick left the study room, Ji Xuefei, who had been hiding in the room, suddenly appeared and asked with a smile: "Your Majesty, can this really be done? When the Earl learned the truth, I was afraid that he would go back to Bowent to trouble for His Majesty at all costs, after all, he is such a person."

The queen was slightly helpless and forced a smile, then said, "I don't know very well, maybe he can bring us new surprises." After a pause, the queen seemed a little tired and said lazily: "Let's do this for now. What will happen to him is not my consideration."

Concubine Ji Xue left the room and closed the door, murmured: "Is it really not considered? Even the title is different. Your Majesty, when will you face yourself?"

Rick returned home with great enthusiasm and saw his excited expression, the women surrounded him. Rick happened to consider arranging matters, so he held a family meeting. No matter what, this was the first time that happened in the first place.

As soon as everyone was together, Rick immediately began to pretend to be pitiful and said depressedly: "Oh, I'm in trouble this time. I was sent to be exiled by Her Majesty the Queen."

'How could this happen?' Qinglu asked worriedly.

Rick laughed and said, "Actually, there is no need to worry. Although he is sent to the army, he only needs to stay in the Shenfeng Fortress for half a year and can come back in half a year!"

‘Shenseong Fortress?’ Although Chris had heard such a term after coming out of the Wannian Crystal, she was not very clear after all, so she said with some doubts: ‘Where is the Shenseong Fortress? It sounds like a castle.’

‘The God-Feng Fortress was a fortress built by the empire a hundred years ago to resist the continuous invasion of the four northern countries. Decades ago, in order to enter the hinterland of the Blue Moon Empire, the four northern countries have been fighting against the God-Feng Fortress in a continuous battle, but unfortunately they all failed. The God-Feng Fortress has become one of the four major fortresses in the world. In recent decades, the four northern countries have always wanted to use roundabout methods to bypass the God-Feng Fortress into the hinterland of the Blue Moon Empire, but unfortunately they have not succeeded. The various unexpected events that broke out in the Blue Moon Empire a while ago were mostly related to this. Whether it was the rebellion of Jiamu County, the change of ownership of Fenghua City, the attack on Silk City, or the surprise of the Blue City, it was more or less related to the existence of the God-Feng Fortress.’ The one who talked about it was Su Qiong.

‘Why did the young master go to the Shenfeng Fortress for so long? Are we all over?’ Yulu suddenly asked. Yulu, who had just seen Huang Liyi, had a kind of intuition. The matter of Tianluo Sect was just started, and there would be more troubles in the future.

'I want you to accompany me too, but unfortunately your Majesty doesn't allow it!' Rick said pitifully: 'The Queen said that the Pymond Mansion had just been rebuilt and could not stop like this, and the Tao family's old house is also being cleaned up and renovated. If no one is there, it will affect the city appearance. The most important thing is...'

‘I guess the Queen just wants you to go to the God-Feng Fortress alone, right?’ Alva said leisurely.

'Yes,' Rick said to Alva with a saliva: 'My Phoenix is ​​amazing, you can guess this! The most important thing is that I can't take so many people to a place where wars may occur at any time. There are too many things to be taken care of at home and you can't just leave like this. Besides, so many people in Boint now don't like me. If I take a large number of people away, it will definitely be too dangerous to stay, so I decided...'

‘Wait, you haven’t said why the Queen was sent to the God-Fence Fortress?’ Chris asked the most critical question.
