Things went surprisingly smoothly, and we were on our way to our next concert destination the next day. Of course, this does not mean that we all packed up everything overnight as our potential exploded, but we received help.
The story goes that yesterday evening, when we were having dinner, we announced in vain that we would leave for the next performance tomorrow. We were pressed for time and couldn't help but worry about packing. At this moment, there was a sound outside.
When we went out to see the situation, we found a small team of about a hundred people, and the leader was a middle-aged man who made the noise.
As soon as I saw these people, I became alert.
Because each of them carries a weapon
"You are." I kept Iku and the others behind me. Jerry and Kaito stood in front with me with expressions of confusion mixed with caution.
Seeing us sleeping, the leader in gorgeous clothes didn't say anything, just smiled.
"We have no ill intentions, but we are here to escort you under the orders of the upper echelons of the Jizi Empire." The leader looked behind us, "If you heard me right, you should be in some kind of trouble."
Listening to Bai's explanation behind me, I knew that the Jizi Empire was the next stop we were going to. But even so, I still feel unhappy in my heart. Sending an armed team over, calling it an escort, is more like a different kind of surveillance.
It’s not like we won’t go there, really
"Oh, yes. We are pressed for time, and we are worried about how to clean up the station." I did not express my dissatisfaction in my heart, so I forced a smile and said.
"Don't worry, this is simple." Facing our leader, he looked very respectful and waved to the people behind him, "Go and help the members of the troupe pack their things, wait, we'll go after they finish dinner. "
The leader who originally wanted to let people in directly changed his mind when he saw that the food on the table inside was not finished yet.
""I didn't speak, and narrowed my eyes slightly.
This man is too respectful. Judging from his appearance, he should have a high status in the Jizi Empire, but although we are a famous theater troupe, we are still just civilians after all. Logically speaking, it would be good if he didn't look disdainful.
I don't believe that he is like this. Although there are people among the nobles who treat the common people well, they always think that the common people are inferior to them. This is not because they are arrogant, but because the long-standing aristocratic system has made them develop this mentality since childhood, and it is difficult to change it.
Well, maybe I was thinking too much. I didn't feel any malice from him and just let nature take its course. Anyway, if anything happens, there are only more than a hundred people, and it won’t be a problem for me plus my sister.
Okay, although I am very confident, but there are more than 100 people, I still feel very weak, but Sajia is just proud, what can you do?
What happened next happened very naturally. After we finished packing the dishes, the leader came in with a group of people to help us pack our luggage. Iku even called a maid from outside to wait for the girls' luggage.
During this period, we looked at them busy and felt sorry and wanted to help, but we were suppressed by the other party saying that after arriving at Jizi, they would bother you to prepare for the performance. Now leave this kind of trivial matter to us and you can rest. Ever since
I decided to go to bed
When I woke up the next day, I walked out of the tent and saw piles of neatly arranged items, including spare tents, musical instruments, and some daily sundries. These things were also loaded into the carriage they brought, without any burden on us.
Not only that, we did not walk the journey to the dock, but took a horse-drawn carriage. We felt quite flattered to receive such preferential treatment, after all, things were really weird.
However, my doubts were quickly resolved.
When I left the city here, I saw a man and a woman who joined this team in a carriage of the same style, but more gorgeous. They were the strange pair of servants Iku and I met on the coast. We stepped forward and asked, and it turned out that the team that came to greet us was sent by the young lady. I thought they were the nobles of this country before, but I didn't expect them to be from the Jizi Empire.
Now, our team has boarded the ship bound for the Jizi Empire. It is also a very luxurious private boat. Needless to say, it must be the eldest lady's. It seems to be called Ling.
I don’t know why, but when I heard this name, I felt a familiar feeling. Who cares, there’s no such thing as me being her long-lost brother. My sister and I are definitely related by blood, unless she There is also a sister who is lost
Okay, before I knew it, my mind went crazy again.
"Speaking of which, what kind of country is the Jizi Empire?" Having never left the village when I was a child, I became curious about the country I was about to arrive.
The strange thing is that the old lady who heard my question suddenly stiffened.
"Sister Meiko, what's wrong?" Iku asked confused when he saw his elder sister stopped drinking.
Even though my sister has a very pretty face, she likes to drink when she has nothing to do.
"Ah, it's nothing." The old lady smiled, but it seemed a little forced.
Something fishy
"Hey, we have to know sooner or later, but you are too smart." The old lady could easily see through my mind and sighed, "The Jizi Empire's reputation outside is not very good."
"not so good"
"Yes." The elder sister nodded with a serious expression. This was the first time I saw her like this. She glanced in the direction of the pair of servants to make sure they weren't paying attention before continuing.
"The king of that country is almost fourteen years old."
"Poof" I choked on the water.
Damn it, I'm fourteen years old, I'm not kidding like this.
Iku's expression was also very shocked.
"Yes, a fourteen-year-old child doesn't know how to govern a country." The old lady spread her hands, "The people of that country not only have to endure erratic taxes that only rise but don't fall, they also have to be careful because they can't bear the huge amount. There are so many that they become plundering bandits and harass the country. The civilians of that country are probably only slightly better off than slaves, but the life of the nobles is extremely fat."
The corners of my mouth twitched.
"Hasn't there been a rebellion?" With such strong pressure in life, people will not always swallow their anger
"Of course there was, but they were all suppressed by an unknown general under the king." The elder sister held her forehead, "And there was more than one rebellion, but every time it was suppressed by this man with iron and blood. After several times, no one dared to launch a rebellion."
When I learned that we were going to such a country, the expression on my face became very exciting.
ps: The settings are just like this for the time being. Be careful of being tricked by me. Oh, hoho, evil smile.
ps: Well, Sajia didn’t deliberately want Heiling Jiang, it can only be said that the plot requires it. You know I'm a lolita, how could I do such a black lolita thing and stick my breasts out?
