Chapter 48
Chapter 48
Bai Pheasant was very curious, why did Er Gou Zai apologize to him suddenly, but when he asked again, Er Gou Zai didn't explain and just said:
"Just keep your eyes open."
White Pheasant: "???"
look, what are you looking at?
Bai Zhi found that Er Gou Zai's thinking might be too profound for him to understand.
But it doesn't matter if he doesn't understand, he has more important things to do - to make himself the new Duke of De Beer.
The white pheasant actually felt a little helpless.
Before officials insisted he was, he kept denying it.It is not easy for him to admit it now, and he just changed his words and said that he wants to be a duke, which would easily arouse suspicion.
No matter what, you have to find a reasonable reason for yourself.
After breakfast, the officials came over again, and the two strolled around the Duke's mansion together.
Speaking of which, after entering the duke's mansion, the white pheasant began to feel unwell, lying on the bed all the time, only now did he have the time to really look at the duke's mansion.
It's okay if you don't look at it, but after looking at it, Bai Zhi was stunned just by walking from the bedroom to the dining room.
There are paintings on both sides of the corridor, and there are extremely exquisite decorations every few steps. Just looking at the decoration, it is much more luxurious than Lifu.Moreover, there are all kinds of snacks and fruits served on silver plates at every other corner. The extravagance is simply a waste.
"...This is the habit of the Duke of De Beer. Although the Duke is gone now, the rules have not changed. Do you like it too, my lord?" The accompanying official explained.
No, what I like is the silver platter they are served on.
But this can't be said, and the white pheasant hasn't figured out how to ask the officials about the succession to the duke's title. With the idea that it's too much to say, it's wrong, so he just responded with a few words casually.
However, from the perspective of officials, that is not the case at all.
The white pheasant's eyes were shining with nostalgia, obviously the white pheasant knew about the little habit of the old duke.
The unrelated child of the Duke of De Beer also followed the Duke until he was about ten years old, so if it is a descendant of that child, it is likely to know.
Officials feel a little headache.
Originally, he thought that it would be difficult to identify whether he was the heir of the Duke after accepting this task, but after getting in touch with the White Pheasant, he realized that it was not the identification, but the White Pheasant to cheer up and face up to his identity.
The two looked at each other, smiled politely at the same time, and said a word in their hearts at the same time - I am so difficult.
The officials felt that the white pheasant might have misunderstood the empire, and he should probably let the white pheasant get in touch with other imperial nobles.
The official thought for a while and said, "My lord, this is the first time you have come to the empire. It is not good for your physical and mental health to stay in the mansion all the time. Why don't I take you out for a walk?"
That's good, maybe I can see the big villain.
Speaking of which, why hasn't that person come to look for him?
The white pheasant nodded with a smile, and followed the officials outside.
The officials brought Bai Ji to the Noble Club, and Bai Ji received enthusiastic attention as soon as he entered. People looked at him wherever Bai Ji went, but no one came forward to talk to him.
These imperial nobles obviously knew about the White Pheasant, but the emperor has not yet received the White Pheasant, and has not confirmed the title of the White Pheasant, so they should also be on the sidelines.
The white pheasant knew it in his heart, and he didn't care, and started to wander casually, thinking about his future plans at the same time.
"Hahaha!"
Crazy laughter came from not far away.
White Pheasant looked at that Earl with the moustache again, and Lawrence stood beside him as usual.
Bai Pheasant was annoyed when he saw that person, and looked away in disgust. Then, he saw a person walking towards him.
The man had platinum soft mid-length hair, lazy and cold eyes, tall and thin, like a golden rose.It seems that the whole body is covered with thorns, which is difficult to touch but naturally attracts everyone's attention.
Bai Zhi obviously has never seen this person before, but Bai Zhi felt strangely familiar, especially the way he looked at him.
"This is Viscount Seymour, a down-and-out nobleman from a remote planet."
The official said, with a bit of arrogance and anger in his tone.
White Pheasant was curious, what did this Seymour do, and why did the officials get angry with him?
The official saw Bai Zhi's doubts: "This person has been trying to make friends with important people since he came here, but he has been ignorant and has a bad attitude. Now he has become a joke in the club. We are all betting how soon he will leave. If I don’t see you, he’s here again.”
White Pheasant: "..."
There is no way, the white pheasant is very clear, if you want to make friends with the upper class, you must either use money, sell your appearance, or be able to flatter. Anyway, it must be useful to them. This Seymour is a proud person at first glance, so it is naturally impossible. So it became a joke for everyone.
Although he has not become a duke yet, he is still aloof to this person, so he will definitely come and try.
Bai Zhi originally suspected that this person was from Li Dongnan, but after thinking about it, he realized that it was impossible.Besides, how can there be such a high-profile agent.
Seymour walked up to the white pheasant, introduced himself to the white pheasant, and then invited the white pheasant to chat with him.
Some people around mocked the corners of their mouths, and the official laughed even more, and stretched out his hands to let Bai Pheasant and Seymour relax.
The white pheasant did not refuse, and followed the man to the side.
Bai Pheasant originally wanted to chat with this person casually to see what the club said about him, but he hadn't spoken yet, and the other party suddenly said:
"I'm Li Dongnan."
White Pheasant: "???"
For a moment, the white pheasant suspected that he had misheard.
"No, you..."
"Did you sleep well after I left yesterday?"
It turned out to be Li Dongnan.
Bai Pheasant thought for a while, set up an undercover agent, and it was so different.Yes, this is very Li Dongnan.
No wonder Li Dongnan told him last night that he can leave whenever he wants, it turned out that Li Dongnan had already made preparations.
At the same time, the white pheasant also had to say hello.
Li Dongnan's behavior has deceived him, and now that he contacts him so openly, few people should doubt it.
There was even a reason for White Pheasant to continue to contact him afterwards.
After all, there are two people, one is a duke whose identity is yet to be determined, and the other is a down-and-out little nobleman who urgently needs to hook up with a big nobleman.
"What's going on, obviously yesterday..."
The white pheasant silenced, and he suddenly felt that it was useless to ask.
Li Dongnan probably wouldn't say anything, and would just tell him to leave quickly.
Unexpectedly, Li Dongnan said everything slowly.
Li Dongnan told Bai Zhi that not long after Bai Zhi entered the Duke's mansion, Li Dongnan arrived in the capital of the empire.After confirming the safety of the white pheasant, he started to act step by step. First, he bribed the servants of the Duke's mansion, and then replaced his own people, spread rumors, found the correct exit route, and arranged everything before going to find the white pheasant.
As for Li Dongnan's identity, it was a public identity, and its original purpose had nothing to do with White Pheasant, it was to break into the upper echelons of the empire.It was only because of the decision of the white pheasant that Li Dongnan used this identity to contact the white pheasant.
Not only that, but Li Dongnan leaned against the window and suddenly talked about Lawrence.
"Lawrence is a top student at Imperial University. He was favored by Earl Crowe again in a competition. Earl Crowe wanted to make him his lover. Naturally, Lawrence disagreed."
White Pheasant: "Didn't you say they were a couple?"
"No, it was all misinformation later. At that time, Crowe couldn't catch up with Lawrence, so he designed to frame Lawrence's parents and make them owe him a lot of money. Then he went to help Lawrence hypocritically and forced Lawrence to marry give him."
Fuck, what a disgusting scumbag.
The white pheasant was stunned, and looked at the two people over there in disbelief.
Er Gou smashed his clothes and climbed up:
"Look, Li Dongnan is not like that kind of person."
Bai Pheasant was very angry at first, but when he heard this, he was a little confused and didn't know what to say.
Of course he knew that Li Dongnan would not be the same as Crowe, and even Crowe was not worthy to be compared with Li Dongnan.What he clearly said was that he didn't want to be controlled by another person like Lawrence.
Moreover, Li Dongnan is standing there, isn't Er Gou Zai looking for trouble for him?
The white pheasant quickly looked at Li Dongnan.
Li Dongnan looked at him with a smile.
"no……"
The white pheasant got stuck again, this time he is not the previous white pheasant, he is the duke to be determined, and Li Dongnan is a down-and-out nobleman, if he explains it to Li Dongnan indiscriminately, wouldn't it be suspicious?
Moreover, why should he be afraid of Li Dongnan, he is not afraid, everything is Li Dongnan's fault.
The white pheasant stared at Li Dongnan, and continued to look at Crowe and Lawrence.
Li Dongnan originally wanted to improve his image in Bai Zhi's heart: "..."
Earl Crowe had noticed Li Dongnan's appearance a long time ago, and he had been waiting for Seymour, played by Li Dongnan, to be cornered, and then he teased Seymour to the bed.
But when Bai Zhi looked at Li Dongnan, his heart suddenly seemed to be scratched by something.
The white pheasant is the real beauty, but may also be the future duke...
Crowe rolled his throat, pushed Lawrence away, and walked towards the white pheasant.
"grown ups."
Crowe walked up to the white pheasant, shouting respect, but two pairs of thief eyes looked back and forth at the white pheasant, as if he had already taken off the white pheasant's clothes.
The white pheasant frowned, and took a step back in disgust.
Crowe sneered, drank the wine in the glass in one gulp, and invited: "It seems that it's time for the performance now, do you want to watch it together, this is a good thing that the Federation doesn't have."
"Need not."
White Pheasant replied coldly.
He felt disgusted just seeing this person, how could he go to the show with him.
Klau was not afraid at all, and stepped forward directly, his greasy mouth evoked a disgusting smile: "My lord..."
tread.
Seymour, that is, Li Dongnan, stepped directly in front of the white pheasant, lowered his head and looked at Earl Crowe with the eyes of a bug.
Crowe's face sank in an instant, and just as he was about to make a move, a voice suddenly came in:
"Why, is this a conflict? Have you forgotten the old rules of the empire?"
"You fucking..."
Being interrupted, Klaue became even angrier and looked over angrily, but when he saw the speaker again, the rest of Klaue's words disappeared instantly.
"Crow, as an imperial noble, you must not forget your roots."
The visitor said this, but finally looked at the white pheasant.
Everyone looks average, but they wear extremely gorgeous clothes, and they are either rich or expensive at first glance.
"Yes, my lord, you are right. Of course...your lord duke-to-be will strictly abide by the rules of the empire."
Crowe showed a malicious smile at Bai Zhi and Li Dongnan, and walked to the side at the same time.
The white pheasant was confused, and quickly looked at the official.
The official's face was ugly, but he didn't dare to say anything, he kept shrinking back, not daring to look at the white pheasant.
The white pheasant instantly understood that the newcomer was definitely looking for trouble, and he was not easy to mess with.
Bai Zhi looked at Li Dongnan, Li Dongnan seemed to have been caught off guard, but he quickly calmed down and blinked at Bai Zhi calmly.
White Pheasant took a deep breath and followed Crowe.
Li Dongnan followed closely behind the white pheasant, and said in a low voice:
"This is the tradition of the imperial nobles. If there is a dispute, it should be resolved through a duel."
"duel?"
"The oldest one is to fight in person, and later it is just to find someone to replace it."
"How did it become like this, can't you refuse?"
"It's someone from the court, probably an order from the emperor."
The white pheasant wants to breathe out the fragrance.
But considering that he is now on the territory of the empire, he can only endure it.
But soon, he couldn't bear it anymore, because they took him directly into a circular hall.
Surrounded by onlookers and seats, in the middle of the hall are two people who are fighting until they are covered in blood.
"This, this is..."
The whole white pheasant is not well.
"This is the Colosseum." The people from the court smiled brightly. "In the empire, if there is a conflict, we all resolve it through duels. Of course, the adults generally don't end the battle. You just need to send your people."
Just kidding, whoever is sent, how can he have someone, and, this is completely anti-human.
For the first time, White Pheasant felt scared. Compared with the Empire, the Federation was so cute like a baby.
The white pheasant wanted to refuse, but they didn't give the white pheasant a chance at all, and directly interrupted the ongoing game, directly announcing that De Beer's new heir would compete with Earl Crowe.
Amid the frenzied shouts of the crowd, Crowe waved his hand, and a muscular man over two meters tall stepped out holding a wide and long giant sword.
"My lord, it's your turn."
The people from the court looked at the white pheasant.
What should I, what should I do?
From the corner of the eye, Li Dongnan suddenly stood up, and Bai Zhi felt his whole body trembling.
"I would like to fight for adults!"
Li Dongnan said.
"do not want!"
"Why not?" the court man said with a smile.
White Pheasant's heart skipped a beat.
"Your Excellency is really kind." Li Dongnan smiled, "But there is no need, as long as you agree to my previous request, I am willing to die for you."
The court people looked at Li Dongnan and then at the white pheasant, but said nothing.
"Don't worry, my lord, for my purpose, I will definitely survive." Li Dongnan smiled, then took out a long sword from the side as a weapon, and walked onto the stage.
Others invited White Pheasant to the upstairs box.
Bai Zhi knew that Li Dongnan was actually very powerful, but he still found it difficult to accept such a scene.
"My lord, this is the empire."
said the court man.
"...Aren't you afraid of death?"
White Pheasant's lips were trembling.
"It is their honor to die for the nobles, just as it is our honor to die for the emperor."
Neuropathy.
These are all neuroses.
"Hit, hit, hit!"
The battle started below, and the white pheasant could no longer care about these people, and quickly looked at the two people fighting below.
Li Dongnan and the strong man's size contrasted obviously, and everyone thought Li Dongnan would lose.
Crowe even got close to White Pheasant, implying that it would be fine even if White Pheasant lost, and if he relied on him, he could even give White Pheasant some help in the matter of Duke White Pheasant.
Bai Pheasant didn't even bother to give him any attention.
"Hey."
Crowe sat lazily on the sofa, holding a microphone, and said to the strong man below:
"For the sake of our duke-to-be, leave a whole body for his men."
As a result, as soon as he finished speaking, Li Dongnan turned around and quickly dealt with the strong man.
The whole movement was smooth and smooth, and everyone present was stunned for a moment, and then the next moment, everyone burst into loud cheers.
Crowe's whole face turned into a liver color as if he had been slapped by someone.
"Fuck!"
"There is a problem, there must be a problem!"
What else did Crowe want to say, but the court people looked over in an instant.
Crowe closed his mouth, turned around and slapped Lawrence on the face, and looked at White Pheasant viciously: "It didn't count just now, it didn't count, it was just warming up."
The white pheasant was also angry: "If you lose, you lose. Shut your mouth."
"How dare you..." Crowe's expression twisted, "You're just a fake duke, you think I'm afraid of you."
After finishing speaking, Crowe shouted to the backstage: "It was just a warm-up just now, and the main event will come later. What is the Colosseum without fighting beasts, release my little baby!"
White Pheasant: "?!"
On the stage, a huge cage slowly rose from one side, and inside it was a monster several meters high, with its fangs densely arranged, and its combat power was astonishing just by looking at it.
The audience burst into amazing cheers.The monster was affected, its red eyes looked up to the sky and howled, and the whole venue seemed to be shaking.
The host became even more excited and spoke faster: "It's Earl Crowe's pet rage!"
"Rage is the top three terrifying monsters in the Colosseum. It once set a glorious record of killing 50 soldiers at one time. It's dangerous. This little nobleman is in danger..."
The white pheasant could no longer listen to the following words.
How could Li Dongnan win if he killed 50 people at once?
"I admit defeat, I admit defeat..."
The white pheasant hurriedly spoke humanely to the court.
The court people looked at Bai Pheasant: "You are too kind to make a big deal."
The white pheasant was about to be pissed off, when is this, and he still said this, he said he had surrendered, can't he?
"No, my baby has already come out, how can it be." Klaus + smiled, "Master quasi-earl, this is the empire, you are not suitable, why not..."
Not for your sister!
You bastards, you perverts!
Crackling, the entire cage was completely lifted out, and the lock on the cage began to flicker frequently. Just waiting for a word to start, the monster will be released, and Li Dongnan may die, a painful death...
The time of the whole world seems to start to slow down, and everyone is in slow motion.
White Pheasant saw the indifferent courtiers, the officials with their heads bowed, Crowe laughing wildly, the crazy audience outside, Lawrence covering his face and crying softly...
Lawrence...
Lawrence's side gradually became ethereal, and White Pheasant saw Lawrence become himself again.
He covered his face and wept softly, and in front of him was Li Dongnan whose body was getting cold gradually, and Li Dongnan who had died...
No, he doesn't want, he doesn't want!
From the corner of the eye, I saw the decorative long sword hanging on the wall.
long sword...
It was as if a ray of light lit up in the chaotic brain of the white pheasant for a moment, piercing through the chaos and telling him what to do.
The white pheasant walked over unsteadily, took it off, pulled it with a sound, drew out the long sword, and looked at Earl Crowe.
Crowe's arrogant laughter stopped abruptly, but the distorted smile remained on his face.
tread.
The white pheasant took a step towards him.
"No, no, are you crazy, what are you kidding?"
"I'm not joking."
At this moment, under the strong anger, the white pheasant lost his fear and worries, and his whole body was unusually calm. He even remembered what the court man told him just now.
"I am the Duke, you are just the Earl, it is your honor to die for me."
When Bai Pheasant said this, there was no expression on his face, as if he was just stating a fact.
Crowe once said this to others, but he never thought that he would face such a day.
"No, stop joking. My lord!"
Crowe looked at the people coming from the court.
The court man said indifferently: "Your Excellency is right."
"No! I admit defeat, can I admit defeat?"
"late……"
White Pheasant raised his long sword and stabbed towards Claude.
White Pheasant would not kill Crowe, he was only angry, so angry that he wanted this person to experience the same horror and despair as he did.
But Crowe didn't know, he just felt horrible, he wanted to resist, but White Pheasant would coldly ask the court comer, if the earl could attack the duke.
In the empire, even if the duke made a mistake, it can only be punished by the emperor, not to mention that the Duke of De Beer is still a member of the royal family.
Under the affirmation of the people from the court, Crowe couldn't resist at all, he could only run away, and finally yelled when his arm was cut by the white pheasant, the whole person was frightened, and he turned over and jumped straight up from the upstairs go down...
Li Dongnan told his subordinates when he went to the Colosseum, and he also delayed the time when he was fighting the strong man. He only defeated the strong man when he saw his own people coming in.
He never underestimated the shamelessness of the nobles of the empire, so when he saw Crowe calling out another monster, he was not surprised at all, and he was already prepared.
But he didn't expect such a thing to happen to the white pheasant.
Crowe's scream made the whole venue quiet for a while, and when Crowe jumped off the top and fell right next to the cage, the whole venue was silent.
The monster in the cage glanced at Crowe, stretched out its claws and hooked Crowe's feet.
Crowe uttered a heart-piercing scream and called for the staff, who rushed out to rescue him.
After a brief pause, the entire venue burst into cheers as usual.
Li Dongnan looked at the white pheasant through the two dogs.
The white pheasant didn't dare to look down, and stood there in a daze.
The man from the court stood up and walked to the white pheasant:
"You have proved yourself with courage. Although it is not enough, it is qualified."
The white pheasant didn't respond.
"Prince 13 will look for you tomorrow."
The white pheasant was startled suddenly.
13 Prince, what the fuck, it seems to be the villain!
The courtier nodded in satisfaction, turned and left.
The white pheasant came back to his senses and ran to the window.
Crowe had been rescued, and was transported away while screaming.
The white pheasant only glanced at it, then looked away, and looked at Li Dongnan.
Li Dongnan waved to him, smiling calmly.
All kinds of messy thoughts and pressures of White Pheasant disappeared in an instant.Fortunately, fortunately, fortunately he acted, Li Dongnan was fine, he was right.
White Pheasant tried his best to raise the corners of his mouth, and waved to Li Dongnan with the same smile.
Bai Pheasant thought of something, and asked Xiang Ergou: "Did I scare you?"
Ergou shook his head: "That's what he asked for, you are great."
Bai Pheasant patted Er Gou's head: "Aren't you surprised?"
Ergouzai continued to shake his head. If Baizhi could find the right time to poke Xiangyanghua's boss in the waist in the holographic game, then it proved that Baizhi has judgment and determination. It is not unexpected to do this behavior in reality.
Thinking about it, Li Dongnan laughed out loud, but he didn't know if his subordinates who were still waiting outside and were ready to rush in at any time would be surprised. You must know that although they didn't say anything, those subordinates were actually unwilling to leave the empire for the white pheasant. quite dissatisfied...
