Chapter 792 Reminiscing about the past 2
Xie Xiaoyu stepped aside and stood with the young man.

"I thought you were quite smart..." The young man shook his head lightly.

"Is it because I didn't decline the appointment of the assistant minister?" Xie Xiaoyu glanced at this guy.

"You know?" The young man was slightly taken aback.

"Climb to the sky in one step, not only arouses jealousy, but also starts too high. In the future, it will be easy to get no reward." Xie Xiaoyu said calmly, as if it was not his business: "I have been in the human race for several years, and I am worried every day. There's definitely something to be learned about conspiracy and calculation."

"Then you...?" The young man became more and more strange.

"What you said just now is the way of being a subordinate, a minister." Xie Xiaoyu smiled: "I never considered myself as a servant, I accepted this post of assistant minister because I wanted to do something. "

"So you have ambitions." The young man sneered. He originally thought Xie Xiaoyu was so clever, but now it seems that he can't escape the word "fame and fortune".

Xie Xiaoyu guessed what the young man was thinking, shook his head and said: "You have a good background, as a high-class monster, but I am not. I was born as the lowest monster, with poor blood, no talent, and was bullied by other monsters..." He seemed to be recalling the past, and said for a long time: "I swore that one day I will change everything."

The young man was quite surprised: "Your ambition"

He couldn't describe it anymore.

Suddenly, he understood: "Do you think she can help you realize this wish?"

"Besides her, I'm afraid there is no second demon who would accept a 'person' like me." Xie Xiaoyu bit the word "herringbone" very hard.

The young man didn't take it seriously and nodded.

"Besides, she really needs my help now." Xie Xiaoyu was able to read people's hearts. He felt the depression, depression and hesitation in the heart of the princess.

"You think you can help her?" The young man obviously knew something inside.

"When I was just sent to this world, I was just a third-class little demon. Because there was too little time, it was impossible for us to be reincarnated, so I directly arrested people to seize the body, and then used the secret method to fuse the soul. This trick is actually not safe. , it is easy to be seen through. If you want to survive, you must improve your strength as quickly as possible. It only took me five years to cultivate to this level." Xie Xiaoyu showed a smug look.

After a while, he said leisurely again: "Pressure is a good thing. As long as you don't get overwhelmed, your strength will increase rapidly. What she lacks now is strength. In the world of demons, with strength, everything is possible. It just so happens that I have experience in this area."

The young man looked Xie Xiaoyu up and down, and asked suspiciously: "You are very good at planning for her, you don't have a crush on her, do you? Don't forget that upper and lower races cannot intermarry, let alone You are 'human' now."

Xie Xiaoyu rolled her eyes and said angrily, "I consider her a friend, so my choice is not the way of being a minister, but the way of being a friend."

"The way to be a friend?" The young man pondered for a long time. He seemed to have figured it out, and patted Xie Xiaoyu on the shoulder: "I admire you a little. What I admire about you is not strength, nor wisdom, but courage. "

"I know." Xie Xiaoyu took it for granted, and then he lowered his voice and said: "Helping her is also helping myself. She is under pressure, and I am also under pressure. If she can't bear the pressure, I will also Suffering, so I will try my best to improve my strength." Suddenly, he clenched his fists: "I must at least improve to the point where no one in this world can decide my fate."

These words did not seem arrogant or wild, but they were filled with an indescribable aura when heard in the ears.

Suddenly, there was a thunder in the sky.

The young man's face suddenly changed, originally he was just admiring, but now there is a trace of awe.

There is still a blue-golden light flying in the front, followed by a blue light, followed by a red light, followed by a transparent shadow behind the red light.

Rays of light fell in the city.

"Follow me, I want to hear what happened to you later." The princess waved to Xie Xiaoyu.

Xie Xiaoyu followed the group of female soldiers into the princess mansion.

Entering the lobby, the princess sat down on the main seat, and then asked the female soldier to bring a chair.

Xie Xiaoyu wasn't too polite, after all, he set his position as a "friend" rather than a "subject". This princess has no shortage of ministers, let alone slaves. What she lacks are friends who can help her.

Sitting on the chair, Xie Xiaoyu talked eloquently: "After you entrusted Yingying to me, I thought that the Bimu clan would not dare to gossip. Transfer me to the human race as a spy, fortunately they know that Yingying is yours, so they dare not do anything to her..."

Before he came, he had already thought about his speech.

He was sure that the princess just couldn't see it at first, so he rescued the little girl, and then entrusted the little girl to him. He didn't care too much about it, and he didn't care much about it afterwards.

He is not afraid of the princess to investigate.

Most of that little thousand world is now destroyed, and the Bimu clan is probably dead. Even if they are not dead, they cannot remember the two little people who bullied them.

"...Because time was too late, we did not enter the human race through the reincarnation method, but directly arrested a group of monks and forcibly seized their homes. Before seizing the homes, in order to conceal the difference in souls as much as possible, the higher-ups invited the demons Almighty, first refine us into inner demons, and then use the inner demons to seize the body"

Xie Xiaoyu told a lie that she made up.

"..It's a coincidence that I belong to the Hongli family. I am naturally good at illusion, and I am very compatible with the secret technique performed by the powerful demon. Therefore, when I was refining my soul, I suddenly had an epiphany. It happened to be that demon. Zu Da Neng was in a good mood and seemed to be quite satisfied with me, so he gave me a thought."

Saying that, Xie Xiaoyu released the needle of thought.

The princess originally had some doubts, but seeing this needle of thought, all doubts disappeared.

The strength of this idea has even surpassed that of her demon king ancestor, and this idea gave her the feeling of chaos and destruction, which is the unique characteristic of the demon race.

Similarly, this also explained why Xie Xiaoyu was able to be called a strong existence among the big monsters from a small third-class monster clan in just a few years.

"How are you doing in the human race?" The princess started to talk, she was full of curiosity about the situation in the human race.

Xie Xiaoyu thought about it for a long time, and it was really difficult to answer this question. After a long time, he said, "It's not bad, but it's also bad."

The princess showed a surprised expression.

"There is no strict level here, the only level is strength, and they also attach great importance to knowledge such as exercises, secret books, tool making, alchemy, etc., but because of this, they collect all kinds of books. There is no chance to see it." Xie Xiaoyu shook his head and sighed.

Too much attention is sometimes a bad thing, so many good things are shelved, and only a small number of people can access them.

He said casually: "There is no depression here, but I am worried all day long. I think about two things all the time. One is to save my life, and the other is to improve my strength."

"You have not been discovered." The princess patted her heart lightly, as if she was thankful for Xie Xiaoyu's safety.

"Because my cultivation speed is very fast, and I have been in seclusion all day long. The people in that fleet searched for spies several times, but I avoided them because of the seclusion. In addition, I have a good master with a high status. He is strong, and most people don't want to provoke him." Xie Xiaoyu seemed to be recalling, with a slightly absent-minded face.

"Then you're still willing to come back?" The princess chuckled, because there were only her and Xie Xiaoyu at the moment, so she didn't have to keep a straight face and pretend to be deep.

"I'm worried all day long, that feeling...is uncomfortable." Xie Xiaoyu also guessed that there would be such a question: "So when I was about to break through, I found an opportunity to "die in battle."

The princess was slightly taken aback, and then realized: "You mean, it hasn't been long since you became a big monster?"

"It's only about a few months!" Xie Xiaoyu said lightly.

The princess was horrified.

Xie Xiaoyu's strength is almost comparable to the blood descendant of the prehistoric beast. If he has been practicing for three or four years, it may be understandable, but in just a few months, most of the monsters may not even reach the realm. Consolidation, not to mention strength.

Her first reaction was that Xie Xiaoyu had the invisible blood of some kind of prehistoric and strange beast, which was usually invisible, and only after breaking through the realm of the Great Demon would the blood be awakened, and then suddenly became powerful.

"You came to me as soon as you became a great demon?" The princess asked quickly. Originally, she only had a little expectation for Xie Xiaoyu, but now she can be said to be relying heavily on it.

"That's not true, I didn't even know that the princess has come here." Xie Xiaoyu knew that if he said "yes", the princess would be very happy, but he didn't need to send this flatterer: "I fled to the northern ice field in the first place. .."

Xie Xiaoyu told all the things about himself in the northern ice field. He said it very carefully, starting from how those wise monsters developed their ambitions, to the old fox who thought he was smart and wanted to join other forces, and then the big eagle The arrival and perverse actions, and finally said that he set up a trick to kill the eagle.

The princess listened quietly, she listened very carefully and attentively.

What Xie Xiaoyu has done is what she hopes to be able to do. She also wants to build such a perfect world without disputes. Unfortunately, Xie Xiaoyu failed, which made her doubt her own ideas.

"Where are your vassals?" The princess asked, seeing is believing, but hearing is believing.

"They are coming here, but it's too far away. If they travel long distances by ordinary methods, it may take several years, so I set up a formation for them and asked them to find a big fish and help the big fish drive away." After that, let the big fish carry them over.”

Xie Xiaoyu explained the reason why the vassals did not follow him, which also told the princess that those vassals followed him sincerely.

Hearing what Xie Xiaoyu said, the princess's heart skipped a beat.

Just now she was frustrated that her kindness was not reciprocated, but now she feels much more comfortable.

At the same time, she also remembered something.

In the demon world, people come and go all by teleportation array, but it doesn't work here, it is inconvenient if the distance is a little farther, and this world is much bigger than the demon world.

Really need a means of traveling long distances.

"I heard that the human race can build a ship that can fly in the sky, and it can carry many people at a time. After you have been in the human race for so long, you should be able to build it?" the princess asked, she didn't say anything, if it couldn't be done, she said Find another way.

Xie Xiaoyu didn't even think about it, and immediately replied: "Yes, but I can only build the simplest one."

"Easiest?" The princess was slightly disappointed.

"It can fly more than 2 miles a day and night." Xie Xiaoyu quickly added that he was not worried that the Yaozu's possession of the Sky Sword Boat would become a threat. Even if he did not take action, the construction of the Sky Sword Boat was no secret. And Mozu must have got the manufacturing method.

The face of the princess changed suddenly, from disappointment to joy: "Enough, enough."

Xie Xiaoyu shook his head and sighed, with a look of hatred: "The fastest ship of the human race is called the Flying Sword Boat. It can fly 10,000+ miles a day and night. Unfortunately, only people from the Dunyi League can build it."

"I know, the kind of ship you mentioned that can fly more than 2 miles a day and night should be the Heavenly Sword Boat, right? I already have one, and I originally planned to ask an elder to help me get someone who can build the Heavenly Sword Boat People come here, it’s unnecessary now.” The Princess’s face was full of joy.

Xie Xiaoyu was more and more grateful for his answer just now. If he shirked just now, it would not only disappoint the princess, but also wouldn't stop the Yaozu from building the Heavenly Sword Ship.

"Then I will leave this matter to you." The princess made a decision.

"You and the princess have known each other for a long time?"

"Why haven't I heard the Princess mention you?"

"You used to love reading?"

"You don't like talking to me? Why do you just hmm when I ask any question, what does that mean?"

Coming out of the princess mansion, the maid kept chattering along the way.

Xie Xiaoyu felt a headache. He hated the monsters more and more, especially the bird monsters, who were chattering non-stop.

"It's really boring." Qingyu was angry. Her status in the princess's mansion is not low. Among the monsters under the princess's hands, she can definitely be ranked in the top ten. Those who were taller than her also wanted to give her three points, but they didn't expect that they would take the initiative to show their favor now, but the other party would ignore them.

She simply stopped talking and stared at Xie Xiaoyu with her mouth pouted.

Exit the gate of the princess's mansion, turn to the left, and you will see a yamen. There is a plaque with the words "Secretary Treasury" hanging on the door of the yamen. The inside is not big, just a house with three entrances. In the large courtyard, there are two desks above the lobby, facing each other, one left and one right.The one on the left is empty, and behind the one on the right sits an old man with blemishes all over his face. The old man's back is bent.

Xie Xiaoyu only took one look, and immediately guessed that the old guy is probably a turtle.

Among the monster clan, there are several clans that are born servants. For example, the fox clan is born accountant and master, while the tortoise is born steward and steward.The former is shrewd, but has some selfishness from time to time, so he can't grasp the boss, while the latter is calm and relatively more reliable.

"Why is Sister Qingyu free to come over?" The old tortoise saw the maid from a distance, stood up and cupped his hands, and he also saw Xie Xiaoyu next to him. After counting the time, today is the first day of the new year. Needless to say, this He has come to seek refuge and has been chosen.

"You have another seat here." The servant girl was secretly happy when she saw that the old turtle didn't greet the guy next to her.

"Add a seat?" Don't look like a tortoise, this guy's reaction is not slow.

"This is an old acquaintance of the princess, both in terms of strength and ability, he is first-class, you have to wait on him." The servant girl deliberately provoked.

"It's a good thing to be capable. What we lack most here is a capable demon." The old tortoise has lived for so long, how can he not be able to listen to provocations, he continued according to the meaning, and while talking, he watched Xie Xiaoyu's reaction .

"Where, where, the princess was kind to me back then, plus he appreciated me, the kindness of a drop of water, the spring is reciprocated, I just want to do something for the princess." Xie Xiaoyu explained the past easily, As for whether the other party believes it or not?He didn't care about it anymore.

"I came here to pass a message. This is the new assistant minister. I don't need to be responsible for anything else for the time being. I just need to build the Heavenly Sword Boat. Now that the people have brought it and the words have been brought, I have to leave too." Turn around and leave.

The tortoise walked her all the way to the door, and then turned around and came back. He looked Xie Xiaoyu up and down for a moment, forced a smile and said: "The tailor will come to help you measure the clothes later. If you are not in a hurry, let them take it easy." It takes about a month to have your official uniform. If you are in a hurry, you can do it in three days. If you think their craftsmanship is not good, you can go outside to do it, but you have to pay for it yourself. Here Salary is paid at the end of the month. You are new here, so you can pay it in advance for one month. The salary of the assistant minister is 36 spirit storage beads a month. There is also a set of etiquette, you should read it well. Although our princess does not care about these, it is inevitable. There are noble monsters coming, if you break the etiquette, it will not look good."

The old tortoise turned around and came out with a thick book in his hand.

Xie Xiaoyu was polite, took the book and flipped through it. It was all about the etiquette of the monster clan, the names of various titles, and the difference between them.There are many things that interest him, such as the situation in the demon world and the distribution of various forces.

It is also the Great Thousand World, the demon world is much smaller than this world, the entire area is equivalent to about five times that of Zhongtu to Tianbaozhou, but the demon world does not have so many seas, one third is land, and the other two thirds are oceans , so the land is much larger, but unfortunately, the demon race is not as good at farming as the human race, and is basically still in a state of millions of years, so although the land in the demon world is much more, the number of demons is still not as good as the people in this world quantity.

The highest status in the demon world is the Demon Emperor. There is a special etiquette for this Demon Emperor. However, no demon has ever seen the Demon Emperor. It seems that this Demon Emperor has long since disappeared, or has become an existence similar to the Dao of Heaven.

Under the demon emperor are the five masters, each occupying a part of the demon world. Because they are a family, these five demon masters have never had any disputes, so there has been no major turmoil in the demon world for millions of years.

Further down is the lord of a state, which is relatively scattered, and the competition is fierce, but these are all titles, the real meaning is the title of the demon king, the so-called demon king refers to every ethnic group in the upper demon clan the leader.When the demon world was at its most powerful, there were nearly 12 demon kings, large and small, and now there are more than 7. These powerful demon kings may occupy several states, or even occupy an entire continent. The ancestor of the princess, the demon king Feilian, occupies A continent can be regarded as a top-ranked existence in the demon world.The little demon king may not be as good as that princess, and there are even one or two demon kings. They are wild alien species, powerful, but too fertile, almost extinct.

Under the demon king is the demon king. If the demon king is the head of the sect, then the demon king is equivalent to an elder.

When the Yaozu first entered the demon world, the Yaojun was the last level, and there would be no more. The Yaowang and his children were no different from other members of the same clan. It was not until the ancient times when the Yaozu re-entered this world that they learned the ways of the human race. This system turns the ethnic group system into a feudal system, and the Yaojun is divided into two levels, the county master and the county master. Each level has its own affairs, and the county master and county master can recruit their own subordinates to build a mansion.

The establishment of the Yaozu's mansion is based on the ancient system of the human race, and there are two phases on the left and right. Because in ancient times, the left was the most respected, so the left phase is the main phase, and the right phase is the deputy. As for the auxiliary phase, there is no fixed number, and there can be none. , you can also make a lot of them.

"How many households are there under the name of our princess?" Xie Xiaoyu, as the assistant minister, of course has to care about the situation in this county.

"If you only count the Shang family, there are more than 300 households and more than [-] million people." The old tortoise answered every question. He tremblingly walked to the back and took out another stack of notebooks.

"I don't want to intervene in this matter." Xie Xiaoyu said quickly: "I inquired about this because I have 10,000+ subordinates who want to come."

"If they're all descendants, you can have as many as you want." The old tortoise said disapprovingly.

"They are different from ordinary lower clans. They were all enlightened by me, and they all have some skills." Xie Xiaoyu said hastily.

"Then I'll have to take a look." The old tortoise didn't show any contempt.

"Can you set aside a place for me? Let me house them." Xie Xiaoyu mentioned his subordinates in order to set aside a piece of land.

"You can pick whatever you want, as long as it's within a radius of two thousand miles." The old tortoise didn't mean to be obstructive at all.

"It's all the sea?" Xie Xiaoyu frowned.

"Aren't your subordinates a group of sea beasts?" The old tortoise was quite surprised: "If that's the case, you have to figure out your own way, you can kill or release them as you like. It is absolutely impossible to let them live in the city. There is no place, and I can't help you get another turtle treasure. If you have the ability to raise the leylines and create an island, maybe you can try it."

The old tortoise had always looked easy to talk to, but at this moment he finally let out a nail.

Xie Xiaoyu pondered for a while, but he couldn't make a decision for a while.

"The future will be long, anyway, those vassals of yours won't be there for a while, I will take you around first, we will all be colleagues in the future." The old turtle patted Xie Xiaoyu on the shoulder.

There are two rows of wing rooms next to this office, and the old turtle led Xie Xiaoyu into one of them.

That room is connected, there are five tables in front of a long couch, five demons are sitting, some are copying something, some are doing abacus, and the other three demons are farting and chatting, seeing the old turtle come in , the five monsters stood up quickly, all of them looked respectful.

"These five have been with our princess for a while, at least more than ten years." The old tortoise knocked a nail down again calmly, and he turned to the five demons and said: "This It's new here, and we'll eat together on the same pot from now on."

"Yo! You are the assistant minister as soon as you come in. I think this person is very capable!" A slender figure who looked about 40 or [-] years old said strangely.Apparently the old turtle's nail worked.

The other five monsters are also sour. They have all endured for many years before finally being able to sit in this position. Now that a newcomer has just been recruited, he immediately sits on an equal footing with them. How can this make them willing?

Xie Xiaoyu didn't care, he didn't come here to be an official, besides, he didn't like such a small official.It's said to be the assistant minister, but it's just a nice name, and it's equivalent to the deacon under the hands of a big family.

"He and the princess are old friends, can you compare?" Another demon said, this one is obviously well-informed, the assessment over there has just ended, and he has already been notified.

"This place is very good, but I have a special errand, I'm afraid I won't come here often, I can put my desk anywhere." Xie Xiaoyu said lightly.

"We don't have much room here." The monster who spoke first snorted coldly, this guy was the youngest, obviously the old turtle said just now that he was the one who had been with the princess for more than ten years.

Xie Xiaoyu didn't speak, but turned to look at the old turtle.

"We will all be colleagues from now on. There is no need to fight over these trivial matters. I think there is plenty of space here. Just move it a little bit." The old tortoise looked sloppy.

Being able to become the assistant minister must have a good brain, so the five demons immediately understood that what the old turtle meant was not to fight over such trivial matters. Xie Xiaoyu got angry, and when they sued, they couldn't even find a reason to explain it. Not only would the person who caused the trouble be unlucky, but also the people who watched the joke beside him would not be able to escape.

"That's right, that's right, let's move the table." The assistant who was doing the accounting just now said hastily.

"Anyway, you can't work these two days, because the left minister is not here, and the seal is under his control. If you don't have the seal, even if you say you are the assistant minister, the people below will not respond." The old turtle patted On Xie Xiaoyu's shoulders, there was still an expression of calmness and restlessness.

"When will Prime Minister Zuo come? How about I go to his house?" Xie Xiaoyu asked hastily.

The old tortoise rolled his eyes secretly, of course he couldn't say that Prime Minister Zuo had gotten the news a long time ago, and intentionally aired the newcomer and avoided him on purpose.

"He won't be here for at least five or six days, and at most ten days and a half months. If you are free, you can come and see him every day. If you are not free, you can go to your own business."

"Okay then, I'll come back in a few days." Xie Xiaoyu didn't care, he went to find Her Majesty the princess and asked her to send a maid to fetch the gold seal.

This is not difficult.

"I want to pay this month's salary in advance." Xie Xiaoyu finally said, he was not greedy for money, he wanted to see what the Lingzhu was.

When he came out of the office, he already had 36 non-gold and non-stone beads in his hand. Each of these beads was the size of a walnut, and he didn't know what material they were made of. It is almost the same as a small stone, but when you put it in your mouth, you can immediately feel the strong spiritual energy gushing out, directly melting into the flesh and blood, and melting into the meridians.

No wonder all the spirit veins of Middle Earth were cut off, and the Yaozu didn't care at all, so they had such good things.
