Ice Blue City, Zhongcheng District.

Bauhinia Ring Commercial Street.

The shapes are ancient, made of all copper, and under the street lights with eight-sided glass, pedestrians come and go, making them lively.

The lights emerge from the wooden windows, passing through the half-man-high fence, and sprinkled on the mottled terrazzo stairs.

"jingle……"

Under the neon sign with blurred light and shadow, a man wearing sunglasses and windbreaker pushed the door open and noisy music came to his face.

In the dimness, the spotlights on the roof flickered and countless colorful lines jumped in the mist, reflecting a frantically twisting body.

Inside and outside are completely two different worlds. Noisy, chaos, and madness are the only themes here.

"Brother, you seem to have forgotten to buy tickets." A burly man blocked the way of the man in the windbreaker and put his hands on his chest, looking very unfriendly. "Don't blame me for not reminding you that this is Baron Hart's place."

The man in the windbreaker did not look at the other person, but clamped his fingers and showed a card with a black thorn pattern.

The moment I saw the card, the bodyguard's attitude turned 180 degrees, and the condescending strength immediately turned into humility and pleasing.

The Black Thorn Card represents one of the most respected identities in Ice Blue City, and the other party is at least a real-powerful official with the title of baron.

"Sir, do you have a reservation? If not, I will arrange the best VIP for you..."

"No!" The man in the windbreaker interrupted the other party, "Take me to see Baron Hart."

The bodyguard did not dare to neglect the situation at all, and immediately bowed and said, "Yes, sir!"

Although there are many bars on Ruby Sapphire Street, the nobles prefer to go to the lively midtown area to have fun.

After all, you may accidentally meet a wife or children walking in your place, which will cause unnecessary misunderstandings or set bad examples.

Therefore, most of the bars on Red Sapphire Street are clear water bars, while most of the bars in the middle city are fun places.

"Get out of the way, get out of the way!"

The bodyguard was watching the scene and opened the way in front and escorted the man in the windbreaker to the VIP area above.

The huge speaker vibrated, making a deafening heavy metal rock music. When passing by, it seemed as if all the internal organs were trembling.

The man in the windbreaker walked up high, and the dance floor below was filled with smoke, and screams of excitement sounded from time to time.

In the colorful light, the sexy and hot body appears and appears.

"A group of hot girls came tonight. I heard that they came from the Western Mainland to travel. They are really more fun than the other..."

Halfway through the bodyguard watching the scene, the corner of his eyes saw the other person's expression gloomy, and immediately stopped talking tactfully.

Knowing how to observe words and expressions is the basic condition for survival in Binglan City.

This noble master seemed to be in a bad mood and did not show enough interest in these begging bodies, which means that silence is the best choice.

“It’s here.”

The bodyguard watched the scene and took the man in the windbreaker to the highest box, bowed and bowed, and then turned and left.

There were a group of men sitting in the private room. From their bright clothes, we can see that their identities were either rich or noble.

But at this moment, the atmosphere in the box was a little gloomy. Everyone was drinking wine, no one spoke, and they looked lifeless.

One of the male nobles heard the movement and looked up and saw the man in the windbreaker coming in. He immediately recognized the other party's identity. He shouted overjoyed, "Vissue Theon!"

When the other nobles heard the screams, they raised their heads one after another, and then showed a surprise expression.

"Oh, I finally waited for you." "I thought you had something to do," "Please sit down!"

Viscount Theon nodded slightly and sat down in the private room.

"How is the situation?" "Have you heard of the news?"

Everyone couldn't wait and even forgot to pour the other party a glass of wine to moisten the throat.

Viscount Theon took off his sunglasses and threw them on the table. He glanced at everyone, then grabbed the edge of the table with both hands and nodded solemnly.

"That's great!" "Virtus Theon has a solution!" "I said back then that your brother-in-law is a talent!"

Then Viscount Theon told everyone about the information he had found out from Viscount Rob.

After listening, everyone showed painful expressions.

But it's not their fault. No matter who it is, it is a very painful thing to take out one-fifth of its property at once.

"Why didn't she rob the bank if this greedy bitch?"

A noble official couldn't control his emotions and cursed.

"Shhh, whisper!"

The noble official who heard him next to him immediately showed horror, grabbed the other party's arm, and looked out at the same time, as if worried that someone would eavesdrop outside.

It was like an infectious disease, his emotions quickly infected other people, and the private room became quiet.

Deafening music came from outside, with the woman's excited screams and the drunken roars mixed in. The noisy environment made everyone feel at ease. After all, such places need to be very close to hear the sound, and it is difficult for the recording equipment to work normally.

"Sometimes, I really want to leave this ghost place!" sighed a noble official, "This city has no place for us."

"But where can we go after leaving here?" another noble official sighed.

"Maybe, can we go to the north?" the third noble official suggested.

"The Golden Eye Witch's reputation is no better than that of the Blood Queen." Someone reminded.

"Is there any difference between giving up everything and escaping from one demon to another?"

"Where is the Fourth Prince?"

When it comes to the orthodox successor of the Maran royal family, Malan Twenty-third and his country of Lan, everyone is silent.

The reason is very simple. No one is willing to accompany a declining prince to endure hardship, let alone the danger of being buried with him.

But in fact, they have few choices.

Of course, they can choose to give up everything here and go abroad, such as Qingguo, Huangguo, and even foreign mainland.

But in this way, their rights and status will all disappear, and everything will start from scratch.

They are not warriors who gain power by force, but civilian officials with management and family backgrounds.

Only the Red Kingdom will recognize their titles. If you go abroad, you must speak by your strength. If you are lucky, a small part of them may be able to rely on the strength of the garrison to be the mayor of the marginal town, but

Most of them have to rely on their old capital to live. As their assets shrink, they will gradually become the bottom of society.

Power is like the poison of poppy. Once it is contaminated, you will be immersed in it for life and cannot be quit.

Even in the face of the threat of death, they were unwilling to give up their only power. "Maybe the situation is not as bad as we think," said a noble official.

"Is there any worse time than now?" another noble official retorted, "Look at the current Ice Blue City, where ghosts and monsters are rampant, smoky, chaos is everywhere, and the municipal institutions are almost paralyzed.

Maybe I don’t know yet that the Finance Bureau is almost out of money to pay wages. Maybe in a few years, any marginal town will live more comfortably than us.”

"But where else can we go besides staying here? The child wants to study, and the lady wants to walk the dog. Leaving Ice Blue City, we are nothing!"

"No, I mean thinking from another perspective." The noble official said, "The queen's purpose is not to destroy Ice Blue City. On the contrary, she wanted to develop, but there was no suitable bridge yet."

"bridge?"

"Yes, bridge! Our queen needs a bridge to establish a partnership with former officials."

Everyone calmed down and listened carefully to the aristocratic official's analysis.

"Maybe Cuilis is not the crazy person we imagine. Look at A Qiaomu, aren't she doing well by her side?"

"Tuelis has given great power to the people she trusts."

"If, I mean, if, we can gain the trust of the Queen, then we will have more opportunities than when the old king was alive."

"After all, the old king is old and content with the status quo and stops moving forward. When he was in power, we were in important positions, but we could not do anything."

"But Trisli is different. She is a true supreme powerhouse, and her ambition is definitely not comparable to that of the old king."

"As long as we can gain her trust, we can show our strengths and realize our ambitions."

The noble officials nodded thoughtfully. The reason why they remained here was not only attached to their original rights and status, but also had a dream.

And this dream is that if Cuilis wants to develop a country, she needs a group of officials with real abilities, rather than the group of mediocre talents who only flatter and flatter.

"Then, who can become a bridge? This person can not only gain the trust of Cuilis, but also understand and sympathize with us, the former ministers."

"Don't tell me it's A Qiaomu. This bitch is only interested in money and torture."

"To put it, I have to add one more thing, which can not only gain Cuilis' trust, but also understand and sympathize with us former ministers, and also balance the Black Prison Guards."

"The conditions are too harsh..."

"Looking at it now, Bai Ye Fenghua from the Duchy of Bai Ye may become our bridge." The nobleman analyzed, "Bai Ye Fenghua is a royal family, knows the art of power and the way of governing the country, and her reputation in Bai Ye is there.

Very good, not only talented, hardworking, but also modest and steady, and respectful to the virtuous and humble."

"I heard that the Queen values ​​her very much, but she is still breaking through the barrier and can't be distracted."

"So, what we should do most now is to go to the Duchy of White Night to get closer in advance."

“There is no need for this.”

"I heard that Bai Ye Fenghua believes in the 'the friendship between gentlemen is as light as water'. As long as we have real talents and knowledge and ability to govern the country, we can get her appreciation."

"But if she wasn't such a person, it wouldn't make any sense even if we visited early."

"When it comes to the flattery, is there anyone among us more professional than Viscount Rob and others?"
