C260 Erde Imperial Palace (1/2)
Mu Like felt a headache coming on as he read the report.
Because of the war between Mace and Ara, Erde used this rare opportunity to carry out large-scale reforms in order to quickly develop and replace Mace as the number one country. It was also because of this that the memorials she wanted to approve would become a small mountain everyday. Since she had taken over this stall, she would not regret or be afraid of working hard. However, the contents of the imperial report he had submitted today really puzzled her.
In the end, she summoned her trusted minister here to ask her what was going on.
”Is what it says true?” she asked slowly, rubbing her aching temples, as if her voice might become unreal if it were to be any slower. ”Could it be that the local officials are making up lies to raise the budget?”
The Minister hurriedly bowed and replied, ”Reporting to Your Majesty, based on our indirect verification, it was initially determined to be true!”
”Three villages turned into ruins overnight?” She still had some doubts as she looked at the imperial reports and said, ”Apart from the bones and the destroyed buildings in the village, not a single thing was left behind, not even food or clothes?”
”Yes, this is what the person who presented the memorial said to this old official.”
”Human corpses turned into bones overnight?” Mu Like shook his head suspiciously. He could not accept this, ”Is this a lie concocted by them to shirk their responsibility as supervisors?”
Seeing her angry look, the Minister hurriedly explained, ”This place is under the jurisdiction of Minister Bao. The policy of reporting the situation here is to be done by local officials once a day, this is something the little Chen can guarantee for Your Majesty.”
Mu Li was clear on this point, and it was precisely because of this that she was so confused.
”One night, one night …” She stood up and paced back and forth in the room. ”Could it be that a monster capable of turning into human flesh and blood has appeared there?!”
”It doesn't seem to be …” Seeing that she was staring at him intently, he continued, ”According to what the newcomers have said, apart from the bones, every corpse has meat left on it, and the way it looks now is as if it was bitten by a wild beast …”
”It was bitten by a wild beast, could it be that the wild beast will steal the clothes of a human, put on the clothes of a human, and eat the food with its own fire?!” Speaking to here, the angry Mu Like suddenly realized something and couldn't help but shiver. ”Could it be … Was this caused by the orc? A large scale orc army has already invaded my land?
If that was the case, then how many more days would the Erde have to live in peace!
Chang Jing smiled as she listened to Yin Man's complaints, then asked, ”Is it going smoothly? Can we participate in the selection now?”
Looking at Chang Jing's expectant expression, Yin Man lowered her head, exhaling deeply, he answered softly, ”I'm really sorry …”
”Can't I?” Chang Jing was disappointed, she sighed and comforted her, ”If you can't do it this time, then it's fine, but don't blame yourself. I believe that you will still have the chance in the future.”
”Why after?” Yin Man suddenly raised her head, blinked her large eyes and said mischievously, ”I've been busy for so long, if they don't let you participate and see how I won't bomb them, then! I am very sorry for you, but it is only because you will have to work hard for me from tomorrow onwards. If I succeed, I can be promoted to two levels, and if there are five or six people selected for the position of Tyrant, wouldn't I be able to become a high-ranking official? ”Hahaha …”
Chang Jing was stunned, only after thinking about it for a long time did she finally understand that this little girl was messing with him!
”Alright, alright, that's for the best!” He threw up his hands and shook his head. ”What day exactly?”
”Are you going to eat breakfast early or a little later? Do you want to let them have a good rest?”
”No need, we are already getting impatient. The sooner the better!” Chang Jing rubbed her hands together as if she was eager to give it a try, and replied excitedly, ”The reason why we took the risk to come to the Erde to seek development is only for fame or profit, but if we succeed, wouldn't we get everything?! My lifelong wish, how can I allow it to come late?! ”
”That's for the best,” Yin Man nodded happily. ”The day given to me is tomorrow, and I was worried that you guys might not have gotten used to it yet, but you still wanted to fawn on those officials and take your time!”
”Then I'll go and tell them the news now!”
No matter how funny it looked, it was a joke. However, firstly, it was to hide his gratitude, and secondly, he was very happy when he heard the news, because it meant that she was one step closer to saving Xi Yan!
