Regarding the question of why Shang Jiuge is here.
In fact, the explanation is very simple.
The original task assigned to Shang Jiuge was to raid Luan Yunfei in the palace city, regardless of victory or defeat.
Although this victory or defeat is indeed a bit essential, even if Shang Jiuge finally succeeded in defeating Luan Yunfei, it still did not change the final situation much.
With Wang Zhishen's death, the entire Yingtian Mansion fell into chaos, but Shang Jiuge didn't know where she should go next.
In fact, Shang Jiuge waited in the city for a while.
But soon, Shang Jiuge discovered a fatal problem.
She has no money.
Shang Jiuge also didn't bring any money when he went down the mountain. Then he followed the concept of surviving in the wild all the way from Huashan Mountain to Luo City by turning around and eating.
And with Fang Bian's adoption, Shang Jiuge also successfully got rid of the fate of being hungry and full.
But now that Shang Jiuge is going solo again, how to fill his stomach has become a big problem.
Some people can only survive in the city, and some people can only survive in the wild.
There is no doubt that Shang Jiuge belongs to the latter.
So Shang Jiuge left the city again. Although the population density in Jiangnan is slightly higher than that in the north, it is unknown that everywhere has been developed and not even a rabbit can be found. Shang Jiuge's ability to survive in the wild has gone through With the test of history and people, filling your stomach is definitely not a problem.
But Shang Jiuge never expected that just when he had grilled a fish today and had calculated the time to catch a few more rabbits, he would be beaten by the autumn wind!
And the one who beats Qiufeng is still an acquaintance.
Shang Jiuge looked at Xue Ling in front of him.
Xue Ling felt like she wanted to cry but had no tears.
I understand this is called truth, why do you want to steal my fish?
"I called over, but no one answered." Xue Ling said pitifully.
She pointed to her feet: "Look, I even paid."
Shang Jiuge looked at the stone at his feet, and sure enough he saw the pile of yellow copper coins.
The girl's expression softened slightly, but she still didn't put away the long sword in her hand.
"Why are you here? Where are you?"
"I came over when I smelled the fragrance." Xue Ling said honestly, "As for farewell."
"I'm not so sure either."
…
…
The only thing that could make up for the loss of a fish was a roasted rabbit.
There is only some salt here in Shang Jiuge, but salt is the master of all flavors.
It can be said that as long as the amount of salt is properly handled, generally all food will not be too unpalatable.
Canned herring deserves a big thumbs up here.
The Scarlet Night Sword is really a fine sword, so it is also suitable for skinning rabbits.
While the two girls were busy trying to fill their stomachs, they also exchanged information about each other.
To be honest, Shang Jiuge didn't have much information here, because after Shang Jiuge went to fight Luan Yunfei, he had nowhere to go. The reason why he was finally forced to come to the wild was mainly because he was in the city. If you don't steal or rob, you won't be able to survive at all.
Shang Jiuge's three views are particularly correct in this regard.
If you can steal from me, then I can steal from you; if you can rob me, then I can rob you.
But so far, Shang Jiuge is in a state where he has nothing to steal or grab, so even thieves won't care about him.
Life can often be so difficult.
As for Xue Ling, there was more that she could tell Shang Jiuge.
Xue Ling told Shang Jiuge that after helping to rescue Hu Beizong, he first helped Guang Jiqi's army for a period of time, and then was found by Yin Ye, and finally chose to go to meet Qin.
"Then why did you run out again?" Shang Jiuge said curiously: "If you want to find another way, wouldn't it be easier to stay with Qin?"
This is indeed the truth.
Xue Ling looked at Shang Jiuge and sighed: "He gave me some requests that I had to refuse."
Hearing this, Shang Jiuge looked Xue Ling up and down: "Are you willing to commit yourself to me?"
"Bah!" Xue Ling looked at Shang Jiuge and said, "Where did you learn to be bad?"
"Since I came down from the mountain, I don't know how many people have told me that as long as I commit myself, they will give me food to eat." Shang Jiuge said seriously.
"I think that's what I'm going to have to say no to."
"So you are willing to stay because Fang Bie didn't make such a request?" Xue Ling almost laughed in anger.
"Absolutely." Shang Jiuge scratched his head and said.
"By the way, what exactly are the requirements?" Shang Jiuge continued to ask.
Still curious.
Xue Ling looked at Shang Jiuge, thought for a moment, and then sighed: "He wants me to be the queen of the hive."
"Is it very powerful?" Shang Jiuge asked.
"If it's so powerful, then why shouldn't it be done right?"
Shang Jiuge continued.
Xue Ling felt that it was difficult to communicate with the girl in front of her.
"The leader of Huashan is also very powerful, so why don't you do it right?" Xue Ling asked.
"That's because senior brother is still alive." Shang Jiuge said confidently: "If he dies, I should be the head of Huashan."
Come on, there is absolutely no way to communicate.
"The reason why you can be the head of Huashan is because you are the junior sister of Huashan and Shang Li's junior sister, and your swordsmanship is the best in Huashan." Xue Ling could only try to reason with Shang Jiuge: "Why should I be the hive?" The queen bee?"
"Yes, why are you?" Shang Jiuge looked at Xue Ling and asked.
It seems that the girl just thought of this problem.
Now comes the time when the key costs five yuan a piece. Do you deserve it? How many keys do you deserve?
"So I ran out again." Xue Ling said: "I was curious why they didn't stop me, but I ran and didn't know where to go. I was hungry again. When I was looking for something to eat, I found it. here."
Shang Jiuge nodded. She very much recognized this reason.
She looked at Xue Ling and patted the girl on the shoulder: "How about you follow me around the world from now on."
It feels like a sister is covering you from now on.
Xue Ling looked at the burning bonfire at her feet and the rabbit and fish roasting on it. For a moment, she felt that this girl was not as reliable as she thought.
"Now that Qin controls the hive, it is very dangerous to go out and walk before all the dust settles." Xue Ling looked at Shang Jiuge and said seriously.
"So how long will it take for the dust to settle?" Shang Jiuge asked matter-of-factly.
Xue Ling was immediately stopped by Shang Jiuge.
Yes, how long will it take for the dust to settle?
If the dust never settles, wouldn't it mean that we have to stay here forever?
If no one is walking around, then who is going to buy the oranges?
"How can the dust settle?" Shang Jiuge continued to ask.
Xue Ling could still reluctantly answer this question: "Bring order to the chaos."
"How can we correct the chaos?" Shang Jiuge continued to ask: "By the way, since Qin wants to make you the queen bee, what happened to the original queen bee?"
Xue Ling shook her head: "I don't know. It seems that she was taken away by Sister Ping, but I don't know where she was taken."
"That means it will be difficult to bring things right." Shang Jiuge sighed.
But after sighing, the girl immediately jumped up: "By the way, Qin is very powerful now, right?"
"Probably, even Sister Ping can't beat him." Xue Ling said.
"Then how about I go back with you!" Shang Jiuge continued.
"Huh?" Xue Ling was confused.
What a strange idea this is.
"Even Sister Ping can't beat him. Although you are very powerful, you probably can't beat him either." Xue Ling looked at Shang Jiuge and said.
"I didn't say I wanted to fight him." Shang Jiuge said matter-of-factly.
So there are times when you, Shang Jiuge, are not fighting?
"Then why are you going back with me?" Xue Ling asked.
"You don't dare to be a queen bee by yourself, aren't you just afraid of being bullied by others?" Shang Jiuge looked at Xue Ling and said, "I will go back with you and support you, so they won't dare to bully you."
What is this?
Xue Ling felt dumbfounded at this moment.
But after dumbfounding, Xue Ling suddenly realized that Shang Jiuge's idea was really good.
The most important reason why Xue Ling doesn't want to be a queen bee is that she doesn't want to be used as a gunman.
Then there is the fact that my strength is too weak. Even if I become the queen bee, I will not be able to control the rights of the queen bee. At best, I will be used as a weapon.
After all these comprehensive considerations, choosing Ru Qin's intention to be the queen bee is really a stupid choice.
But are there no perks to being a queen bee?
Of course there are benefits, it just depends on whether Xue Ling can take advantage of these benefits.
As Qin said, the most intuitive benefit of being a queen bee is that you can try to protect those you care about.
After all, the queen bee is still the most noble being in the hive in name. Even if she is just a puppet, she is still a top-notch puppet.
Secondly, she has the right to be the first to know all kinds of information.
To be honest, after following Fang Bie as a bee wing for a period of time, Xue Ling no longer knew anything about the working mechanism of the beehive. At least compared to when she first left Yanjing, the girl was already barely qualified to be the queen bee. role.
"This." After Xue Ling thought about it, she looked at Shang Jiuge and said, "If this is the case, you may not be able to leave the hive for the time being."
"It doesn't matter." Shang Jiuge looked at Xue Ling: "Qin is so powerful anyway, why don't I want to see how powerful he is?"
Xue Ling was instantly impressed by Shang Jiuge's logic and fell to the ground.
She sighed: "Okay, then let's go back and take a look."
"No." Shang Jiuge said directly.
Xue Ling looked at Shang Jiuge's backbiting.
Then Shang Jiuge continued to point to the bonfire and said, "At least finish eating first, right?"
Xue Ling nodded heavily.
…
…
Big ship, cabin.
At night.
Qin was still handling official business in the cabin, and Yin Ye sat opposite him. The two of them were bright and dark, one high and one low. The only thing they had in common was the thick letters on the table in front of them.
Once launched, such a big thing as replacing the queen bee, although it is pleasant to do, the aftermath is also long and painful.
Although Qin had regained close to 70% of the top management in the hive, the remaining 30% still remained loyal to the Queen Bee. What's more, even among those 70%, they never thought that Qin would eventually choose such a decisive method.
The letters flying in like pieces of paper these days, as well as the reactions from all parties, made Qin sit in the middle of the sky and deal with them one by one, which was quite distressing.
Fortunately, Yin Ye helped.
Just like what Qin said, if it weren't for the issue of identity, Yin Ye would be the most suitable candidate to be the queen bee.
Because her abilities are very suitable for the queen bee.
There was silence between the two men.
Each of them looks through the letters in front of them and writes a reply from time to time. If it is important information, they will put it aside first.
No one spoke.
There was only the silent burning sound of the candle flame.
And in the midst of this silence, there was a sudden knocking sound on the cabin door.
Yin Ye stood up, saluted Qin, and walked out.
After a while, Yin Ye walked into the cabin again, looked at Qin in front of him, and whispered: "Xue Ling is back again."
"So fast?" Qin raised his eyebrows in surprise.
"Although I should be happy to have her back, but what made her change her mind?"
"I'm curious."
"Shang Jiuge." Yin Ye said calmly.
"She came back with Shang Jiuge."
Qin stood up.
"Okay, I'll go out and stretch my muscles."
…
…
Although Qin really wanted to stretch his muscles, Shang Jiuge looked at the man in front of him and did not choose to draw his sword.
It was Xue Ling who spoke.
Xue Ling looked at Qin and said calmly: "I choose to be your queen bee, what do I need to do?"
"You don't need to do anything." Qin Dan said: "No, you still need to do something."
"You have to understand that if you're going to be a queen bee, your origins will be public to a certain extent."
"To be precise, it means disclosing the identity of that person."
"Let him know that it is Xue Ping's ghost standing opposite him and trying to fight him."
"what does that mean."
"do you know?"
Qin looked at Xue Ling and said coldly.
Xue Ling felt a little suffocated.
But she still nodded: "Then I want to know the truth about my father's death."
"And the things behind it that I don't know about."
Qin smiled: "This was originally part of the bargaining chip."
"You have to fully understand your worth."
"You realize how important you are."
Xue Ling nodded, then looked at Shang Jiuge beside him: "I hope Shang Jiuge can always be by my side and be my right-hand man."
Qin was a little surprised and looked at Shang Jiuge: "Miss Shang, are you willing?"
"Is there anything to eat here?" Shang Jiuge asked, "Something delicious."
Qin laughed loudly: "You can get as many delicious things as you want."
"Then I have no problem." Shang Jiuge said decisively.
Qin looked at Xue Ling: "Miss Xue actually has good tricks."
Xue Ling looked at Qin: "It's time for you to call me queen bee now, isn't it?"
Qin nodded and knelt down on one knee towards Xue Ling. Behind him, Yin Ye also knelt down on one knee.
In the darkness, countless figures also knelt down towards Xue Ling.
Shadowy.
The same voice boomed.
"Welcome to the return of Her Royal Highness the Queen Bee."
Xue Ling sighed quietly.
Then move forward.
