Chapter 250 - This Lord Will Call You Duoduo In the Future (1/2)
After Nan Xun ate and drank to her fullest, she began to chat with big boss.
“My Lord, can you not call me ‘girl’ anymore? I have a name oh.” Nan Xun said.
Gong Moran paused for a bit, “Shijiu?”
Nan Xun immediately corrected him, “Not Shijiu, it’s Li Yunduo, can you call me by my original name? You can call me Yunduo or Duoduo.”
Thinking of something, she explained, “My Lord, it’s not that I don’t like the name that you gave me, but when you call me by my original name, it feels more intimate. My parents often called me Duoduo, my Lord, I miss them.”
Little Eight showed his confusion about Nan Xun’s piety, “What are you doing, making big boss as a close relative like your parents ah? If this is the case, then won’t big boss treat you as his daughter later on?”
Nan Xun didn’t reply to Little Eight.
Gong Moran frowned slightly, “If this Lord calls you Duoduo, won’t it instead make you often think of your parents and make you sad in the end?”
Nan Xun thought for a bit, then shook her head, “My parents are already gone, they’re forever in the depth of my heart, but my Lord isn’t the same ah, my Lord is alive, there will only be my Lord alone in my eyes and heart in the future, you will be my closest person.”
These words erased the little discomfort that had just occurred in Gong Moran’s heart, he nodded slightly, “I’ll call you Duoduo in the future.”
“Holy f*ck!” Little Eight suddenly roared, “Big boss evil value suddenly dropped by 5 points just after he called out your nickname, and now his evil value has become 78! We’re reaping big profits today aaaaaaa!!”
The excited Little Eight took the initiative to admit his mistake, “Dear da, I just made a mistake, I shouldn’t question you. Although it feels unbelievable, big boss’ evil value really dropped a lot today, hehehe…”
Nan Xun: …
She didn’t think about this before, but now she found out that Little Eight was actually the one who changes his face the fastest.
Because Nanyun Kingdom’s annual sacrifice and blessing ceremony was about to arrive, things obviously changed on the streets. The atmosphere had become more solemn, the people’s attitude had become more and more pious, and the calling cries from shops had lessened.
Nan Xun and Gong Shiba (18) disguised themselves and went out to purchase some medicinal materials. Although there were enough medicinal materials in Imperial Palace’s pharmacy, but Moran Hall needed fresh ones.
Gong Moran was afraid that his little disciple would feel bored, so he sent Gong Shiba to go out with her to purchase these medicinal materials.
Gong Shiba was pleased with himself as he said, “Shiqi really wanted to go out, but the Lord chose me in the end, hehe, Shijiu, say, do you think that the Lord feels optimistic about me ah?”
Nan Xun didn’t answer his question as she heard uniform footsteps, which came from those of well-trained soldiers.
When the sound was near, Nan Xun really saw a group of them.
Gong Shiba followed her gaze and said indifferently, “The envoys from the three kingdoms have arrived one after another in the past two days. Envoys from Beiwu Kingdom and Ximo Kingdom have arrived, the last group coming now must be from Donglin Kingdom.”
Saying to here, Gong Shiba suddenly sighed, “Strange, the two kingdoms’ envoys came in carriages, why can’t I see even one carriage from Donglin Kingdom’s group? Could it be… the envoy this time is that young general?”
Envoys usually were all civil servants, because the kingdom need someone who can speak well, while military generals were mostly outspoken and rough in behavior, so they weren’t suitable to be a diplomatic envoy.
But the envoy team in front of them was clearly made with cavalry in front and infantry in the back which totaled to around two hundred troops. They were all well-trained soldiers, but no envoy carriage was seen within them.
