Lord of Rot

Chapter 476 She Gave Me Backdoor Keys (6 words)
The bustling Iron Rock City is worthy of the name of a holy place, and even in the cold winter, there is no lack of tourists who come here for its name.

Two travelers who were obviously not from Dongxia were standing in line at the gate of the town, talking with weird accents at the same time.

"According to this speed, I'm afraid we won't be able to get in before dark, and the door will be closed at night, should we sleep outside?" They complained about the troublesome inspection speed: "They seem to be planning to stay up until the end of the day." When the city gate is closed, then directly shut us all out!"

The winter sun is really warm on the body, but the people who came to Iron Stone City have been on the road for several days, and they are already exhausted.

There was a constant buzzing and arguing in the crowd.

Among the two, one of them suddenly asked: "Are you sure?"

The other nodded: "Of course, I was sure the first time I saw her, I must marry her back."

"How old is she?"

"How do I know that, I just know what she looks like, hey!"

"what for?"

"How do I know that, I just know what she looks like, hey!"

"Let's go, let's go!" Someone came from behind pushing and shoving. The two people who were talking excitedly were disturbed and turned around angrily. Just as they were about to yell, they saw soldiers in full armor coming with long swords in their arms. Yu Hui coated the armor with golden light, which hurt the eyes of Yao.

The abuse that rushed to his lips was also swallowed.

The crowd dispersed automatically, watching the team enter the gate of Iron Stone City.

"Where is the nobleman from?" The two exchanged their heads together in a low voice. They had never seen a porcupine flag before, but everyone was curious.

"From out of town?" The man in front of the queue heard the two talking and turned his head to ask.

The two of them nodded: "He's from Flying Valley."

"That's Baron Porcupine." The man in front lowered his voice, "He has a great reputation, so keep your voice down so that he won't notice you, or you will die."

Baron Porcupine?I've heard of it, but it's too far away from Flying Valley, so I'm not familiar with it.

"How fierce?" The two asked curiously.

The person in front had an expression of "I don't want to say, but since you have asked sincerely, then I will tell you mercifully", cleared his throat, and lowered his voice: "Do you know the Bill family in the monkey collar?"

"I've heard of it" In fact, the two of them didn't know much about the nobles at all, but they knew very well that if they wanted to learn interesting gossip, they had to be a good fan.

"Extremely dead." The man stared and said in a horrified voice, "The Baron Porcupine led the army and directly razed the castle to the ground."

"hiss--!"

I've heard of castle attack and defense, is there anyone who can tear down a castle?
"Why are you fighting?" one person asked.

The man still seemed to have grasped the secret: "I heard that Baron Porcupine fell in love with the three young ladies of Houling, and wanted to capture them all as female pets, but Houling disagreed, so... But I heard that the three ladies Miss is now his female pet."

"Does Tiegu know?" the man asked again.

The two were surprised: "I know, Baron Porcupine also..."

"That's right, Baron Porcupine slaughtered the entire castle, killing thousands of people, and then directly robbed Iron Valley and became the Lord of Iron Valley."

"The duke doesn't care? The king doesn't care?"

"What the hell?" The man curled his lips in disdain: "Does the Monkey Island tuna family in the sea know?"

The two shook their heads in unison, saying that the baron and the others could still hear a name, but the knight family really didn't know at all.

"If you inquire carefully, you will know that the Tuna family has taken refuge in the eldest prince."

"Could it be that the tuna family has been wiped out?"

"No, but it's about the same. It was almost wiped out at that time. It was the eldest prince who asked the Baron Porcupine to intercede, and the Baron Porcupine reluctantly gave him face."

"Hiss—!" The two of them didn't know how many times they took a breath, they only thought that Baron Porcupine was really a born murderer.

"It's not over yet"

Seeing the horrified looks of the two, the man hummed in satisfaction: "Do you know anything about the desert?"

"Desert, I've heard of it" Flying Valley is closer to the desert than Dongxia.

"I remember," one of them exclaimed, causing all the people in line to look at him. He shrunk his neck in embarrassment, then lowered his voice and said in a low voice, "I remember that last year there was a man named Blood Sand Lord who ruled the desert. , even Count Buffalo was slaughtered."

"How do I remember that Princess Sophia's daughter ruled the desert?" Another person scratched his head.

"The Lord of Blood Sand must be the Baron Porcupine." The Dongxia man said with certainty, although he had never heard of the desert war, the story was too far away to reach the ears of ordinary people: "What happened to that Princess Sophia? ?”

The three of them exchanged the rumors and information they had heard with each other, wishing they could make an alliance with blood and kowtow to be sworn brothers.

I don't know if it was because of Baron Porcupine's visit just now, the guard soldiers who had been checking lazily, suddenly speeded up, and they were able to enter Ironstone City before dark, but they began to complain about the sudden speed up, and they didn't have a good chat.

……

When he came back to Iron Stone Fort after a long time, Li Qi was a little bit embarrassed. At first, he only wanted to use Iron Stone City to sell small pills and earn a few golden days to live a good life.

The castle has not changed, but I am different.

The servant held the horse for him.

"My lord, please come this way, a room has been prepared for you." The servant came forward proactively.

He nodded slightly: "Okay, let's lead the way."

When entering the castle, Li Qi accidentally ran into several familiar nobles, who made no secret of their kindness.

Some unfamiliar faces made no secret of their hostility towards Li Qi, and he could easily tell which part belonged to Baron Simon's side and which part belonged to Baron Frye.

After arriving at the room, the male servant who led the way left quickly. The other party said that he would come to lead the way in a while, so he was not in a hurry.

After changing the dress and tidying up briefly, Li Qi sat on a chair and meditated.

Time passed so quickly.

"My lord, the dance is about to start, I'll take you there" There was a knock on the door, it was the voice of a maid.

Li Qi opened the door, he didn't find it strange that it wasn't the manservant from before who came to inform him, it could only be due to lack of manpower.

Today's dance has a lot of background. The strong alliance between Simon and Frye indicates that Baron Simon has tied up the warship of the eldest prince, and his loyal lord, the Duke of Dongxia, also married his daughter to the eldest prince. prince.

So, no matter who you want to catch up with, you will come to the dance.

From the perspective of the nobles, no matter how many battles Li Qi won for the Duke, Baron Simon is definitely more loyal than Li Qi, because he has completely become the mission of the eldest prince's faction.

However, Li Qi married Lin Tawan. Not long ago, the old crocodile family in Lintawan was trying their best to leave the East Gorge, and they were the real oath breakers.

It was completely dark, and I followed the maid in a hurry through the castle's promenade.

Li Qi looked at Iron Stone City outside the window. The stars and spots of fire reflected the prosperity of this big town, but compared with the porcupine collar at night, it was much worse. Now the porcupine collar is not stingy with lights at night.

He doesn't mind improving the living standards of the residents, providing young lovers with a lot of dating places, and maybe increasing the birth rate by the way.

Along the way, Li Qi frowned gradually. It seemed that this was not the way to the ball. He had left the castle with the maid and came to a remote garden in the castle.

Just as he was about to ask, a figure in a red dress appeared in front of him.

She has long hair draped over her shoulders, a fur shawl on her upper body, and a murderous-looking scar that extends into her clothes. People are very concerned about how seriously she was injured and want to poke inside look carefully.

The maid immediately withdrew.

The one who deliberately brought himself is obviously a heartthrob.

"Miss Becky" Li Qi just took a quick glance, and then withdrew his gaze, staring firmly at the other person's cheeks, never looking at the parts below the neck: "What do you want me to do?"

"You, you..." She bit her red lips lightly, and looked at Li Qi aggrievedly: "You are engaged to Miss Stacy from the Wisdom family."

It looked as if Li Qi was in chaos and then abandoned, which made Li Qi a little puzzled.

Everyone hasn't slept or talked about it, so please don't do it.

Li Qi, who always thought he was lustful, could restrain himself only when facing Becky Simon.

He never concealed his sense of distance from Becky Simon.

When he first came into contact with her, Li Qi faintly felt that this woman was difficult to deal with, and it was easy to deal with himself.

The mainland of Lurea is very open to sexual relations. Many big men like to discuss business in the women's cave, and so do many female nobles.

But Li Qi is different from them, it is not a question of whether he is good or not, but that it is difficult for him to pull it out without being ruthless, and he refuses to admit it when he lifts his pants.

This is the key to his weakness. After all, he cares more about feelings than pure interests.

He thought the heartthrob in front of him sensed this, so he restrained himself not to get too deep.

"Yes"

Although the other party used an affirmative tone instead of interrogative sentences, Li Qi still nodded in answer.

"How is she? Miss Stacy." Becky walked towards Li Qi, carrying a familiar fragrance on her body. It was the latest perfume developed by the porcupine collar. It also used Miss Long Hair as the main material, but The addition of citrus jazzes up the taste a bit, and the nose has a light sweetness.

A staunch user of Porcupine brand products, Li Qi is in a better mood.

At least people have spent money, and they have to maintain a smiling face.

"I have no plans to discuss my fiancée with others." Li Qi looked at the light in the direction of the castle: "The dance is about to start, the two of us will meet here, it's not very good, there will be gossip."

Disappointment flashed across Becky's face. This was not the first time she expressed her love to Li Qi, but Li Qi always refused.

Among those joke-like temptations, there may not be no truth.

"We're friends, right? Li Qi."

"Of course." Li Qi nodded without hesitation, the more friends the better.

"Iron Valley..."

Her voice suddenly became more ethereal, and while recalling, she said: "I sent people to that barren place before you went. Two thousand mercenaries used up all my savings."

Li Qi didn't speak, just looked at her quietly, not understanding why she suddenly changed the subject.

"A friend of mine told me that as long as I can find something that prolongs my life and dedicate it to the Duke, I can become the Baroness of Iron Valley." She looked at Li Qi: "But those mercenaries were wiped out...well, None of this matters, did you find that thing?"

These are stories that many aristocrats know.

Li Qi's title of "Fearless" was obtained from the Battle of Iron Valley.

By "that thing" did she mean the flower of Isis, or the blood herb, or the lilac mushroom?
Speaking of prolonging life, the flower of Isis can do it, after all, it can directly turn people into palaces.

The same is true for blood herbal medicine. If the ancestors had a strong blood, there is a great probability of enhancing their physique and prolonging their life after taking it. If they happen to have the blood of a long-lived species such as a dragon, it is not a problem to live for decades.

Li Qi said bluntly: "I didn't find it, and I don't want to look for it."

"Yeah, you already own that territory," she sighed.

Anyway, the Duke didn't give much time limit at that time, and Li Qi's power was developing rapidly. The so-called secret mission was no longer what the Duke requested, but whether Li Qi wanted to complete it or not.

Li Qi didn't want to get entangled in this aspect, he said: "But you have also become a baroness."

Her smile disappeared for a moment, obviously not agreeing with the identity of the baroness.

He looked at Li Qi with resentful eyes, as if saying: "I have always wanted to be your baroness", but Li Qi directly ignored him. He had seen a similar express a few years ago.

His cervical spine is not very good, so he is not suitable for wearing a hat, especially if he wears a dozen or even dozens of green hats.

"It's not that I've found nothing," she said, "I've also found a lot of useful information about Tiegu. If you want...you know where my room is."

Becky blinked, and quickly walked past Li Qi with her skirt in hand, leaving only a voice that gradually dissipated: "The dance is about to begin, Mrs. Li Qi."

"Girls, ride my heart and never die!"

Li Qi thought to himself, he had no intention of going to find the other party at all, maybe he already knew the news she could get, and there was no need to sacrifice himself for a little profit.

There are too many good things waiting to be discovered under my own hands, it is unnecessary.

When he arrived, the dance had already begun.

The man who looks handsome, with a tender face, is gently holding Becky's hand with one hand, and wrapping his other arm around the other's waist. The two are dancing in the middle of the hall, attracting the attention of most people. .

Li Qi came late and didn't have a partner. He just didn't have the mood to dance, so he went to the side holding a glass of wine, watched the dancers dance to the music, and sighed: "The luxurious life of the nobles is awesome."

Eat and play, play and sleep.

The way of life that was unimaginable in the previous life can be easily satisfied in this world.

After the song is over, some ladies will choose to gather together to chat and exchange information in a low voice.

Men continue to search for their goals, or gather around someone to discuss important matters.

There wasn't a man around Li Qi, even though he had made a name for himself and became a well-known aristocratic lord.

"Although I have known for a long time that this group of people are all here to praise Baron Frye's stinky feet, but this is the first time I have met such a straightforward one." Li Qi admired their work style very much. Now that he is in the team, he gritted his teeth Keep holding on, otherwise, as an enemy, I will look down on them.

The ladies were different. They looked at Li Qi frequently, discussing something in a low voice, and when Li Qi looked over, they would stop suddenly, giggling and covering their faces.

Finally, there was the first lady who took the initiative to invite Li Qi to dance.

"I heard Agnes talk about you, my lord, don't you invite me to a dance?" She raised her hand, motioning for Li Qi to grab it.

Li Qi frowned slightly: "Are you from Sanchahe?"

"No, Donggang City." She smiled and shook her head, "Agnes is my sister."

But your hair is not red.

He didn't say that.

As the iconic red hair of the Golden Rabbit family, without it, it means that the blood is impure.

Of course it also means...she may not have the red-haired blood of the Golden Rabbit family.

"Can I invite you to a dance, Miss Leopold?" Li Qi stood up and grabbed the other party's hand reluctantly.

"Of course~"

A dance was very fast, but the black-haired Miss Leopold did not dance very well. She almost fell into Li Qi's arms several times, but Li Qi dodged it with superb dancing skills.

He tugged at the other person's hand to make it look less bad than a prom accident.

The result is a little too gorgeous, every time she "accidentally" wants to fall into Li Qi's arms, Li Qi will dodge to the other side, grab her hand, and pull her back in an extremely gorgeous way.

——Brilliant way to spin the top vertically!

Most of the time of a dance, the beautiful dark-haired Miss Leopold, is spent in twirling.

Li Qi believes that after dancing this dance, the other party's dancing skills will gradually improve.

Although after the song ended, the other party's face was a little ugly: "Master Li Qi, you dance really well!"

Why are you still gnashing your teeth when you speak? I saved you from making a fool of yourself.

Having experienced too many dance parties, Li Qi also knows how to prevent being taken advantage of by people who come with a purpose. When noble ladies and ladies are eyeing you and don’t mind spreading your legs, it’s like a fire control radar that starts to aim. If you can't dodge it, you will be smashed to pieces.

At present, in this dance party, there is no one that Li Qi is willing to break into pieces for.

He went back to drinking in the corner.

The teaching-like dance just now did not have an obvious dissuading effect, and someone came to chat again.

Of course it's still all women.

There are also a few more familiar aristocratic ladies. Li Qi thought for a long time before he realized that they were all prom veterans, and their life was to participate in various proms.

Just when Li Qi guessed whether the fat roasted pork chop with honey and sugar in front of him was the chef mistaken sugar for salt, an unfriendly voice came: "You shouldn't refuse a beautiful lady, that's not a gentleman."

Li Qi glanced at the square face of the tender cow who came over.

"I'm already engaged, and I should keep a proper distance from women."

"Hehe" Baron Nenniu Wufang, oh no, Baron Frye seems to have heard something funny: "I admire your loyalty to love, Clarence, but it is very rude to refuse a lady's kind invitation, of course You always do very disrespectful things."

Li Qi raised his brows, okay, there is a needle in the words, I want to come here to make trouble.

However, he wanted to persuade this handsome Baron Wufang who thought he was handsome and could eat well among the ladies. His engaged fiancée had just given him a key to the back door before the ball.

I can easily steal the house.

He glanced at the heartthrob in the distance, who was rejecting men who wanted to invite them to dance, and noticed that when Li Qi looked over, she blinked, as if to say: "If you come to invite, I will agree."

Li Qi immediately looked away.

It is impossible for him to invite, and the basic ethics that have been adhered to for so long are still necessary.

Seeing that Li Qi was silent, Baron Frye's words became more and more fierce.

"...Miss Evangeline is about to marry His Royal Highness Hugo" he chattered endlessly, but Li Qi managed to regain his senses when he heard him say Red Rose: "Lord Pyne is equally loyal to His Royal Highness, some people always have to pay the price, Some megalomaniacs!"

Almost pointing at Li Qi's nose and cursing.

Pretending to be slapped in the face?
Li Qi was shocked, after so many years, he finally let himself wait!

But when he thought about it carefully, he felt a bit boring. The prerequisite for pretending to be aggressive was that he was strong and I was weak, but the reality was that neither the eldest prince nor the Duke Yaori wanted to offend Li Qi.

"Ahem" Li Qi cleared his throat, looked at Baron Nenniu Wufang, and planned to tell the other party some cruel reality. Although he felt that it would be crueler to just say that your fiancée invited me to spend a good night together tonight, he still defended the other party. Face, deliberately controlled it.

"Fry, do you know that I am the Baron of Porcupine Collar, Baron of Iron Valley? Maybe you have heard about what happened in the desert last year, and now it is under my control. Guess if I swear allegiance to the prince, you What will happen?"

how about it?
A young lord who was powerful enough to destroy an old family and wiped out most of the desert area came to serve him. Even if the eldest prince had some unpleasantness with him, he would definitely be ecstatic.

Not to mention that he also has the horses in the desert, the infantry in the East Gorge, and the fierce artillery on the sea.

If Li Qi really seeks refuge with the eldest prince, it means that the old crocodile family will also seek refuge.

There is also the watery land, and even the monkey leader who was frightened... Of course, Baron Frye has heard of it. caught in the middle.

Like an isolated island.

Baron Frye, who now enjoys the highest status, will lose his status in an instant. There are too many nobles who are stronger than him. Those people do not place a bet because Pope II is in his prime, so there is no need to place a bet.

Baron Frye looked ugly, and Li Qi patted him on the shoulder, as if the relationship between the two was very good.

The heartthrob who noticed the situation of the two of them here walked over with a long skirt that dragged the floor: "You seem to have a very happy chat."

Nenniu Wufang's face changed quickly and changed into a smiling face: "Of course, my dear, I had a good time chatting with Clarence."

Li Qi nodded in approval. He was really happy to see Nenniu Wufang's superb face-changing skills in Sichuan opera just now.

She seemed to breathe a sigh of relief: "That's good."

"One more dance?" asked Lord Frye.

The heartthrob shook his head: "I'm a little tired."

"Then you should have a good rest." Baron Frye said with some regret, but also a little bluntly: "But I still have a lot to say to you, if you have time tonight..."

"Tomorrow, Maduo." She shook her head, "I'm tired."

"Of course, tomorrow, we have a lot of time." He nodded with a smile on his face, and left in a very gentlemanly manner with his arm on the heartthrob.

Just when he turned around, the heartthrob winked at Li Qi, as if to say "come to me anytime tonight".

Li Qi's hairs stood on end: "Could it be that she's really pregnant?"

He looked at the back of Nenniu Wufang Baron with some sympathy.
