No one has seen his true face, and his face is always hidden under the dark hooded helmet. Wherever the Dark Dragon King and his terrifying mount appear, no one can help but tremble in horror, and he is always speechless until he The light of his sword flashed, and someone always fell down every time. "The Dark Dragon King is a symbol of death." Everyone gradually accepted this conjecture. However, some people claimed to have seen the Dark Dragon King salute the corpse of his enemy and pay tribute to him. His resting soul murmurs blessings, but who can believe that the executioner's knife can shed tears? Who has heard the cry of the executioner's knife? The mysterious Dark Dragon King brings nothing but death.
The ability of the Dark Dragon King is a mystery. It is only known that in his several stormy attacks, he never missed. The weapons he has used include long swords and spears. Legend has it that during an assassination operation, the Dark Dragon King He even used a two-handed giant sword that was longer than a person. In the moment of flying in the air, he cut in two the four-winged angel who was famous for his swiftness, strength and versatility.

Chapter 17 The visitor is him
Chi Hanfeng stood up slowly, and after walking slowly on the ground for two times, he saw everyone's eyes focused on him. Gu Zuo was surprised: "Everyone doesn't look at me. I'm just thirsty. I need to Drink some water." After saying that, he picked up the red jade teacup used by Emperor Hongshi and poured himself a full cup of tea. He blew the tea foam slightly, and after taking a sip, he seemed to think of something and looked at it with a questioning look. Look at the king's master.
Hongshi smiled slightly, shook his head and said helplessly: "It has been this habit for many years. Alas, I can already predict the final outcome."
Mr. Earl inhaled the fragrance of the tea leaves and drank it slowly: "Good tea. Being an emperor does have advantages that ordinary people can't imagine. There will always be some corrupt officials who send good people's treasures."
"Really?" A smile appeared on Emperor Hongshi's lips: "I remember that this was specially given to me by His Excellency Duke Chi. He said it was produced in the tea shed in the back garden of the Duke's Mansion. It is indeed good tea."
The air in the study suddenly became relaxed.
Chi Hanfeng's face didn't seem to react at all. He leisurely said something that surprised everyone and cleverly diverted people's attention: "I think let's forget about this matter. If the core of the investigation is to want to know this Who did the thing is probably clear now; but what if it is clear? Many old things cannot be said clearly about who is right and who is wrong; even if the world is made clear, it will not be of any benefit to the country or the family; What's more, the Chi family is also the direct beneficiary of this conspiracy, so we can't do anything else."
Most of the people here are people who have learned Count Chi's power through countless lessons. Such a sharp and eccentric character, such a character known as the millstone of the empire's border defense, can easily, proactively and sincerely give up pursuing others' mistakes. I didn't dare to think about it. Even Emperor Hongshi was stunned after hearing this theory that could not be more correct. In order to calm things down, the emperor quickly praised it: "Earl Chi is thinking about the public and the country. It is very good, very good."
"However," Earl Chi poured himself a second cup of tea: "The Chi family has done a lot of things for the public and the country over the years. This time they have suffered such a big mental loss. As the king, have you ever thought about making up for it? One or two? For example..."
"Like what?" Emperor Hongshi immediately realized that he had said the wrong thing and looked nervous.
Earl Chi skillfully gestured at Emperor Hongshi with a movement he had just learned from his apprentice - the thumb of his right hand quickly moved his index and middle fingers: "Well, don't do anything. For example, add more officers, be promoted to a higher rank, and make a fortune."
"
"Oh, I thought it was a big deal." Hongshi let out a sigh of relief: "It is more difficult to be promoted to a knight. There are only princes above the duke, but the prince can only be granted to the direct royal family, otherwise Earl Chi will rebel.
Leave the Chi family and join the royal family? I welcome it. Oh, is it the earl who doesn't consider it? Getting rich? You have already used the teapot and teacup just now. I know you will ask me for it. Now I will officially give it to you. This is
Imported from overseas, it is worth a lot of money. Will it be promoted? I thought about this question seriously during lunch. Chi Aotian came back this time. Although he got a magical beast, this magical beast seemed to be different from other magical beasts.
He is not gregarious, so I am considering not using him as a bodyguard for five years, otherwise no one else will. However, I hope that Chi Aotian, Amy, Daqingshan, and Horns can serve as guards every two months.
Amy, Daqingshan, and Horns should consider this point. In addition, I remember that the earl left after serving as a bodyguard for less than two years. I have always deeply regretted it. I will make up for it this time.
Bar."
Having said this, Hongshi picked up the already written official appointment letter from the table and handed it to Chi Aotian: "This is to formally invite the Phantom Beast Knight, Count Chi Hanfeng, to take up the post of General of the Royal Palace Guards and General of Scambrai Gyeonggi.
Appointment letter. The earl does not need to undertake guard work during the day. He can be busy with matters in the capital and keep vigil at night. Okay, I’m tired, so I’ll go back and rest first.” After finishing speaking, Hongshi walked out quickly with a smile on his face.
to the study room.
Earl Chi also wanted to give it a try, but he thought that he could not grab His Majesty the King's collar to discuss things in front of other people. He frowned unwillingly and looked at the promotion letter in his hand. He must find a way to throw away this hot yam.
.
After walking out of the palace, Amy finally couldn't help it anymore and asked Lei Ge and Chi Hanfeng in a low voice: "Master, Uncle Chi, the king asked us to be his guards. What does that mean? Can it be directly understood as asking us to be his guards?
A bodyguard? In the empire, how much gold coins does it cost to hire an A-level mercenary leader as a bodyguard for a day? If you hire a bodyguard for a highly dangerous person like the king, how much does it cost? Is there a fair price?
price?"
Chi Hanfeng was not in a good mood, and his face was filled with ice and snow. Lei Ge replied seriously: "According to past experience, there is no payment. There is a celebrity effect here. You think, the king will need you to be a bodyguard."
Then your credibility will be very high. When others ask you to buy something rare, they can naturally negotiate a good price."
Amy shook her head: "Master, what I said is true, not a joke. People are always valuable, and so are we. Besides, we don't lack celebrity benefits. Now the small mercenary group has two trump cards: the only
The sacred dragon that works hard for mortals, and the most sacred dragon knight in history, Daqingshan. Now I have no shortage of attention and no celebrity effect. It’s easy to handle. Let Lu’er run to the earthly dragon of the imperial army.
In one visit, I can make first-hand reports such as: 'The unforgettable love story between the sacred dragon and the earthly dragon' and 'It was she who opened the zipper door of the sacred dragon', which immediately spread throughout Shikan.
Bray; Moreover, now that I have Brother Aotian and his obedient dragon in my hands, do you think, Master, whether this title will be attractive, "A Brief Discussion on the Different Outlooks on Life of the Sacred Dragon and the Skeleton Dragon". There are many other topics like this
Yeah, what we lack most now is money, not celebrity effect. In this regard, Yi Su III seems to have done better. If the ministers are always unable to make ends meet, it is not difficult for me to understand that Uncle Chi Hanfeng will do everything possible to avoid it.
This kind of official job, and taking every opportunity to take some tea cups and teapots to pay the salary in kind."
For the first time in his life, Chi Hanfeng agreed with another person's point of view. He patted Amy on the shoulder to express his agreement: "At the critical moment, it is my son who understands my heart."
"Alas -" Amy sighed: "I'm really worried. Since the establishment of the small mercenary group, it has always maintained a golden rule: 'In business, no business is done without profit'. Without rules, there is no circle.
I'm worried that more of this will happen in the future."
Chi Hanfeng had obviously come to his senses now, and began to comfort and enlighten Amy: "Oh, don't be anxious, let's think of a way, we will be able to pluck the geese's feathers, and the king will have to pluck straws from his head."
"Ha--" Amy was clearly inspired after hearing the earl's words: "Thank you, Uncle Chi, I have figured out a way. If we go to protect the king, then we will definitely be by the king's side all the time. The king will often change clothes and get a haircut.
Wait, then if we take these things out and open an auction house for the items used by the Red Stone Emperor, we will definitely make a lot of money."
"Well, that's a good idea." Chi Hanfeng was obviously very moved.
"Also, Uncle Chi, as you are the general manager of the palace, you must control the shipment volume to ensure that prices will not fall." Under the call of countless money without any profit, Amy has begun to dance like crazy.
Except for Chi Hanfeng, everyone else was dumbfounded. Master Nuolin had seen such a scene and such a genius's desperate plan to make money on the king's head, and his eyes were bulging out of his sockets.
"Idiot," Chi Hanfeng cursed with a smile: "Don't you think about turning collections into consumables?"
This time it was not just the other three boys, but Amy's eyes widened, showing that it was difficult to understand.
"For example, if we take out the quilt used by the king, how can we sell it at a good price? We must add the label: His Majesty the King's necessary item to deal with the three thousand Fendai in the harem. The validity period of the medicine is: one week; get the red stone's hair
, it must not be said to be simple hair, it should be said to be: the hair whose metabolism has been accelerated by His Majesty the King last night, providing unlimited energy; efficacy: one night; dosage: one stick; method of use: making porridge. In this way, the price is at least 100
One gold coin each." Chi Hanfeng has been infected by Amy.
Although I don’t quite understand the true essence of Chi Hanfeng, this still does not affect His Excellency Amy’s understanding of money and the sense of propriety, the leader of the A-level mercenary group: “Uncle Chi, can you serve in this position?
What about the shareholders of the small mercenary group during the period? They are directly responsible for the work of selling the king. Also, let Brother Aotian join our organization so that we can keep fresh blood. By the way, I heard all the methods you just mentioned
Very good, but they all seem to be concentrated on the rich. Is it possible to develop some businesses for ordinary citizens? Although they don’t have much money, they have a lot of people and the profits are very objective. There is a saying that goes like this: a lot of profits but a small amount.
The profit is not big, but the profit is small but big. We want to expand our influence."
"Well--" Chi Hanfeng and Amy huddled closely together, whispering to each other as they repeatedly discussed plans to make money.
“How about starting a business called I Have a Date with the King?”
“1-day tour of the royal palace for 10 gold coins!?”
“A chance to dine at the table of kings!”
"A game that simulates the assassination of a king."
"A look at the three thousand pink ladies in the harem."
…
After breaking up, Archmage Nolin listened blankly to various exciting plans coming from afar. He really didn't know whether he should tell His Majesty the King or go back to Chi Hanfeng or Amy to talk about whether he could join.
However, I don’t know if the Red Stone Emperor, who has become the target of others’ calculations, is sneezing all over the place, but one thing can be confirmed, Count Chi Hanfeng is already thousands of miles away from the Red Stone Emperor’s original plan.
The next day, Earl Chi and his entourage anxiously urged Emperor Hongshi to return to the palace immediately, citing the reason that the capital could not be without a king for a day. Hongshi, who heard this, thought that Earl Chi was thinking about the country and the people, and secretly
He made up his mind to raise Earl Chi's salary later. Of course, Earl Chi, who has become a highly profitable group, no longer cares about his salary.
After returning to the imperial capital, the earl did not immediately go to the palace to carry out the plan. He knew very well that he did not have good interpersonal relationships yet, so when he was ready to take advantage of it, the new official took up his post and hired seven responsible captains.
Have dinner with the 25 squadron leaders several times, and maintain the necessary relationships. If they can be corrupted, they will be corrupted, and if they cannot be corrupted, they will be replaced resolutely. The unity and unity of the team must be maintained.
Therefore, the earl, the national master, Amy, Da Qingshan, Chi Aotian, and Horns returned home with Xiao Hei.
Just entering the inner door, everyone was suddenly surprised to find Lu'er coming out. This situation is extremely rare. As a young baby dragon that is growing vigorously, Lu'er has always followed the principle of eating more and moving less. He likes to do his favorite things every day.
The thing is to go to bed immediately after eating beef jerky. Of course, this is also blameless. In any legend about dragons, if the dragon is not sleeping in the dragon's lair waiting for adventurers to come, it must be attacking humans to seize property.
.Compared with the latter, no one is more willing to accept Lu'er sleeping.
However, it doesn't seem to be that simple this time.
Lu'er's whole body exudes the arrogance of fighting, his wings are tightly folded on his sides, his two front paws are folded in front of his brother, and his head is raised high. This is the first time Lu'er has appeared in a fighting posture since the evil dragon chanted the wind, and he is familiar with it.
Lu'er's Amy and Da Qingshan both knew that as long as Lu'er changed slightly at this time, he would immediately release magic above the death level and fly into the sky.
Of course, everyone also noticed that when he entered the door just now, Xiao Hei's behavior was not right. At first, everyone thought it was the result of pedestrians on the street pointing at him with surprised eyes and gestures. At this time, Xiao Hei looked extremely scary.
Its neck was slightly lowered, but the head at the end of the neck was slightly tilted up. Its huge teeth were exposed outside its mouth, and a low and threatening sound came from its throat. Its two wings were spread toward the sky, ready to fly.
Just when everyone was about to run up to stop them, the guard officer suddenly ran in: "Your Excellency Amy, Your Excellency Daqingshan, a middle-aged man named Pilot came to pay homage to you two."
