The Abyss Brand was sealed, and Chen Xing was not in a hurry to go back to communicate with the undercurrent of time and space, because shortly after Lumsden left, Aaliyah called him back.
"You go back and prepare for the military and political meeting the day after tomorrow. I have something to announce." She glanced at him and added, "About your position."
"As you command, my princess."
These are troubled times, and things that communicate the undercurrent of time and space can only be put aside for now. For him, promotion to the lord level is by no means a matter of a day or two, but a long, arduous and dangerous process.
The situation was similar to the last time. He needed to find the black pottery urn first and use the spiritual artifact to obtain enough void spiritual energy to be promoted to the lord level. At this time, too much spiritual energy pours into the body, which will cause energy overload and damage the body. He must communicate with the undercurrent of time and space as soon as possible, find the shipwreck cemetery, and introduce new royal spirits or fake artifacts into the field to form a balance with the spiritual energy absorbed by the black pottery vat.
Therefore, this is not a day's work. You must find a suitable time period and then make a breakthrough.
After leaving Qianzhu Hall, Chen Xing did not return to the camp in Beiqiao Town, but went to the Great Holy Church.
In the past few months, although he and Ye Yang Bailiu were both in Monitor Lizard City, they had not met her due to huge psychological pressure and various inexplicable reasons.
Now that things have finally settled, I feel a lot more relaxed, and I still have to face the problems that need to be faced.
Since Chen Xing and Ye Yang Bailiu were both in Qianzhu Hall, Ye Yang Bailiu just left one step first, so as soon as Ye Yang Bailiu stepped into the Great Holy Hall, Chen Xing followed behind.
It's seven o'clock in the evening and the sun has set. The cathedral was empty and quiet, with dim candlelight.
The high priest placed his hands on the altar, leaned his upper body forward, and looked down at him with a condescending look. His scrutinizing gaze was frightening.
Chen Xing's scalp was numb and his nerves ached.
If looks could kill, he would have died suddenly on the spot.
After a while, she finally spoke and said slowly, "I thought..."
"Don't you dare come."
Her voice was smooth, as if she was talking about a trivial matter, but combined with her expression of thousands of years of ice, and her eyes of thousands of years of ice, the person being watched only felt as if they had fallen into an ice cave, and their whole body was chilled.
Although Chen Xing was panicking at the moment, he knew that he must not show any guilt at this time.
"Why don't I dare to come?" Chen Xing raised his neck, looking arrogant and domineering, "I can come to my wife's place whenever I want."
Ye Yang Bailiu straightened up, his cold expression unchanged at all, and looked at him sideways, with a hint of arrogance and contempt.
"Say it."
She said it calmly, as if she were dealing with a heinous criminal.
"say what?"
Chen Xing looked confused, as if he didn't understand what the other party meant.
"Don't you have anything to explain?"
Ye Yang, Bai Liuxing's eyes widened with murderous intent.
"What do I need to explain?"
Chen Xing continued to play dumb, but he really didn't know what he needed to explain.
Ye Yang Bailiu stared at him, as if he wanted to see something Ni Duan on his face. Chen Xing, on the other hand, looked dull and confused.
After watching for a long time, Ye Yang Bailiu finally gave up, withdrew his gaze and asked lightly:
"What's your relationship with the girl in the weapons shop?"
"Huh?" Chen Xing was stunned for a moment, and then realized who the other party was talking about. I couldn't help but sigh in my heart, how fragile the friendship between women is. The person who was called Your Highness just now is now the girl in the weapons shop.
"Someone I know." Chen Xing replied. His eyes were not squinting, his mind was not distracted, and he looked bright and aboveboard.
Ye Yang Bailiu glanced at him with disdain and said in a disdainful tone, "I thought you would say you are friends."
"I wasn't very familiar with him before, I just had some business dealings with him." Chen Xing said without blushing or heartbeat. If you want to be embraced by others, you must have two qualities: one is thick-skinned, and the other is being able to remain calm despite the collapse of Mount Tai.
Ye Yang Bailiu's eyes moved, and his voice became more and more disdainful, "Then you still ran over here and knelt under her pomegranate skirt?"
"Did I kneel down?" Chen Xing raised his eyebrows with a hint of manly dignity.
"That's even more suspicious." Ye Yang Bailiu looked at him suspiciously.
"You are a bit unreasonable." Chen Xing seized the opportunity and began to counterattack, his voice was frivolous and full of contempt, "I heard that when you were studying before, you were still a graduate student..."
"After reading books for so many years, don't you understand even a little bit of simple truth?" Chen Xing pressed forward step by step.
"What do you mean?" Ye Yang Bailiu asked through gritted teeth with a frosty look on his face.
"Catching people all day long, overturning jealousy, is this the family tradition of your Ye Yang family?" Chen Xing said aggressively, "I will ask my third uncle later, no, I will ask Ye Yang Zhengxiong, are all the women in your Ye Yang family... This is what it looks like, being reckless and unreasonable.”
"You, shut up!" Ye Yang Bailiu's face turned pale, obviously angry.
"I'm going to complain to your parents' house. What's wrong?" Chen Xing said confidently.
"You dare!" Ye Yang Bailiu raised his hand, pretending to fight.
"Don't dare..."
But seeing the painting style change, Chen Xing softened. Ye Yang Bailiu didn't react for a moment and was stunned on the spot.
"Don't dare to do it anymore."
When getting along with women, you should pay attention to relaxation and restraint, and stop when you are good. Chen Xing pretended to be scared and hid beside the sacrificial altar, blinking and looking at her pitifully. Ye Yang Bailiu was amused by him and cursed, "I really deserve a beating~"
"I don't know who taught him this, he's full of bad ideas!"
The atmosphere quickly became charming.
"Would you like to give me a hug? I haven't seen you for a long time and I miss my wife a little bit."
The high priest rolled his eyes at him, but still opened his arms and hugged him.
Big, soft, elastic, warm, and so comfortable...
"As a wife..."
"Who is my wife? Have you married me?"
"As an unmarried wife, shouldn't you make arrangements for your future husband's food and accommodation?"
"I can arrange it, but I'm afraid you won't be able to bear it."
"Well……"
On the morning of the third day, Chen Xing, immersed in the gentle countryside, almost couldn't get out of bed.
The military and political meeting was held at half past nine. When Chen Xing and Ye Yang Bailiu arrived at the venue, they were already more than ten minutes late.
"You wait before going in. If we are late together, it will arouse suspicion." Ye Yang Bailiu said a word and went in first.
There was a lot of noise in the Red Fort meeting hall.
The venue with a capacity of thousands of people was packed with people, and the door and walls were also crowded with people. All the people in the Northern Alliance who were worthy of their number were here.
However, in the crowded venue, there was an empty seat that stood out.
The vacant seat is in the middle of the first row, and its status can be imagined.
Ricardo looked at the empty seat with complicated eyes, melancholy in his heart. If it weren't for a sudden attack on the enemy's side, he would have been the protagonist of today's meeting.
"Why haven't you come yet?"
Aaliyah on the throne muttered, frowning slightly, looking a little impatient.
Damn guy! Next to her, Lacey gritted her teeth and cursed in her mind. How dare this bastard be late for such an important meeting! The entire Northern Alliance's top brass is waiting for him alone. What a bastard! If it had been before, she would have ordered the other party to be dragged out and beheaded.
At this time, the late high priest came to the throne and bowed to the girl on the throne.
"Sorry, there's a traffic jam on the road."
Aaliyah nodded, indicating that she understood. Lacey on the side looked sarcastic, "Is there a traffic jam on Red Fort Avenue today?"
Red Castle Avenue is the widest road in the entire city, with eight lanes in both directions, and all important buildings are on both sides of the road. It is only a few kilometers from the Holy Cathedral to the Red Fort, so there is no chance of traffic jam.
Ye Yang Bailiu glanced at the other party but did not answer, and Lacey did not continue to ask. After all, this is a public place, and the fight must stop at the point, otherwise Aaliyah's face will be damaged.
After waiting for about ten minutes, Chen Xing entered the venue. He looked around for a while and automatically stood on the periphery.
There was no way around it. His status had never been high, so he naturally classified himself into the group of third-rate aristocratic families, minor aristocrats, and mayors of edge towns.
Lacey was the first to spot Chen Xing, who was looking around among the crowd, and couldn't help but secretly cursed "untouchable". Although she was very reluctant, she still cleared her voice, pointed to the empty seat in the front row and shouted, "Baron Chen Xing, your seat is here!"
What she delays is her sweetheart's time and what she loses is her sweetheart's face. Even if she wants the other person to make a fool of herself, she still has to consider her sweetheart's position.
What's more, she already knew today's agenda in advance and knew that today's protagonist was that bastard. The Princess of the North has made her decision and no one can change it.
Everyone's eyes focused on Chen Xing, and then there were whispers.
"You dare to be late for such an important meeting. You are so courageous." "It's really desperate to have so many big people waiting." "What's the air? Didn't you just make a sneak attack?" "Being arrogant and arrogant, sooner or later It's over." "I think he's dead."
The comments were basically negative, but Chen Xing didn't care. Jealousy is the most normal thing in the circle of powerful people.
He walked to the only empty seat in the front row and bowed to Aaliyah on the throne. After receiving Aaliyah's nod in response, he sat down.
"Is Mr. Chen also in a traffic jam today?" Lacey asked half-jokingly, deliberately glancing at Ye Yang Bailiu. The latter's face was expressionless and he just pretended not to hear.
Faced with Lacey's diversion, Chen Xing smiled faintly and said, "It's my first time here and I got lost."
Immediately, someone murmured, "It's so arrogant to even make excuses so casually." "Who gave him the courage?" "I think he is dead."
The meeting hall is just to the right of the main entrance of the Red Fort. How can you get lost?
"Okay, there are important things to announce today, don't waste time." A girl's voice came from the throne, and the whole place immediately fell silent.
The adult has already spoken in person, who else without eyes dares to say more?
A pair of red eyes scanned the entire audience, and wherever they looked, there was silence.
After a long time, she withdrew her gaze and said slowly, "I am going to form an expeditionary force to bypass the Red Rock Mountains and attack the Silver Claw Principality."
"Due to Baron Chen Xing's outstanding performance in the Red Rock Mountains, I decided to appoint him as the supreme commander of the expeditionary force."
"This resolution takes effect immediately!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the scene was in an uproar.
