Witch Wind

Chapter 224: Four parties converge (Part )

Baidanfeng City, Shengquan Palace, Xing Tianli and his party returned as quietly as they left. Baidanfeng City, Shengquan Palace, Xing Tianli and his party returned as quietly as they left.

Liu Jing was arrogant, with her little face held high. Her smug look made people want to pinch her slightly plump little face and shake her little head hard.

Liu Yan and Liu Xie were in a bit of a mess.

The two women's true strength was one level higher than Liu Jing's. But after Liu Jing became hysterical and showed a face that was ready to overturn the table, the two women hesitated for a moment, and finally gnashed their teeth, gently cut off a piece of the cream cake that had become extremely bad and terrible in color, smell, taste, etc., and took a big bite.

Even though the two women tried every possible means after swallowing the cake, and even took the elixirs they carried with them to ward off the poison, the poison formation set up by Liu Jing was still too terrifying.

On the way back from the mountains to Baidanfeng City, the two women hid in a carriage that they had purchased temporarily and disappeared.

In fact, their faces turned colorful, they smelled slightly, and their faces were even a little swollen. The two women hid in the carriage all the way until they entered the Holy Spring Palace. Three days later, they changed into Faroese-style court dresses and reappeared in public.

Xing Tianli had already arranged identities for them.

He fabricated the origins of the three women, and directly defined them as the illegitimate daughters born after a lot of nonsense between the previous Earl of Black Crow of the Allande family and an illegitimate daughter of royal blood.

Xing Tianli issued an edict, stating that the three girls were royal princesses of the orthodox old Kingdom of Farus. They were also princesses of the noble Black Crow Empire, and were respectively titled Iris, Violet, and Mandragora.

The generous Black Crow Emperor Xing Tianli, in the spirit of a prodigal son since the property was not his own anyway, granted the three richest provinces around Baidanfeng City to the three newly-minted princesses as their fiefdoms to be passed down from generation to generation.

These three provinces surround the entire Baidanfeng City in the center from the northeast, northwest and south.

Xing Tianli even changed the names of the three provinces, naming them Iris Province, Violet Province, and Mandragora Province. He stipulated that the three princesses could freely set up official institutions, set up their own private armies, collect taxes, and do whatever they wanted in their own fiefdoms.

The situation in the Black Crow Empire is shaking. The imperial legions are frantically swallowing up all the territory of old Farus. The entire empire is being reshuffled frantically. In this turbulent era, who would oppose the newly-minted emperor from enthroning three imperial princesses?

No one cares about that.

Perhaps, some people would care, but those who care about this would probably only have thoughts like 'marriage alliance', 'clinging to someone powerful', 'living off someone', etc. No one would question these three princesses, or any conspiracy theories like where they came from, their bloodlines, or the forces behind them!
Holy Fountain Palace.

Audience Hall.

Xing Tianli, dressed in casual clothes, sat on the throne. The hall was crowded with newly-appointed high-ranking officials of the empire. They all had rosy faces and smiled happily. At first glance, they all looked like people who had become wealthy and lucrative.

On the left hand side of Xing Tianli, there were three smaller thrones lined up in a row. On the thrones were three women, Liu Yan with a slightly pale face, Liu Xie with a slightly red face, and Liu Jing with a high spirit. The three women were dressed in gorgeous imperial princess robes. They held the scepters solemnly, sat upright on the thrones, and looked down curiously at the imperial civil and military officials below.

The civil and military officials of the empire took turns to come forward and report to Xing Tianli on all the achievements of the empire in the past few days.

The main topic of the generals' reports was how many cities the front-line legions had captured, how much territory they had taken over, and how many legions they had reorganized. Then, they asked the Imperial Logistics Department to quickly send more new uniforms and new weapons to the front line to facilitate the newly reorganized legions to immediately go into battle.

The theme of the civil officials' reports was how many houses they had confiscated, how many accounts they had frozen, how many tens or hundreds of millions of gold coins they had confiscated, as well as many jewels and antiques, mountain estates, and even male and female slaves brought from the colonies, and so on.

The three dukes, the brain, the eyes, and the ears, report on how many remnants of the Old Federation the intelligence agencies have captured, how many followers loyal to the remnants have been killed, how many hidden assets of the Old Federation have been unearthed, and how many intelligence lines related to the remnants of the Old Federation have been found.

Senior officials from the Ministry of Justice and the Ministry of Police carefully informed Xing Tianli that more than 500,000 criminals related to the old federation had been arrested in several state-owned prisons, and several large prisons were already overcrowded, almost to the point where they could not survive. In order to deter the world, should there be a large-scale public trial and a large number of heads be ruthlessly executed?
When the old Federation replaced the old Kingdom of Farus, the revolutionary army slaughtered the old aristocracy in a bloody massacre. In just one month, the total number of men, women, young and old who were killed because of their connection with the aristocrats was over one million.

Therefore, the high-ranking officials of the Ministry of Justice and the Ministry of Police, who were the remnants of the old aristocracy, gnashed their teeth and thought that the Black Crow Empire should follow suit. If they didn't kill a few hundred or two million people, how could they shock the world? How could they maintain law and order?
The three girls, Liu Yan, Liu Xie and Liu Jing, had eyes sparkling as they listened attentively to the reports and debates of the many civil and military ministers.

Liu Yan and Liu Xie were obviously studying the knowledge of this world very seriously, observing the words and deeds of these civil and military officials, and analyzing the many pieces of information leaked in their words and deeds.

And the tassel...

With a 'gulp' sound, the entire audience hall suddenly fell silent.

This fellow actually took out a bottle of century-old fine wine from the secret compartment beside the throne, pulled out the cork very boldly, and drank half of the bottle in public.

Xing Tianli held his forehead, not knowing what to say.

Nearly a thousand civil and military officials of the Black Crow Empire filled the hall. When they saw Liu Jing's behavior, they remembered the rich land of Mandala Province under her name and the privilege of an almost independent kingdom granted to them by Xing Tianli. Their eyes suddenly lit up.

This Princess Mandragora, who looks like the youngest, is actually a drunkard?

Haha, you are a wine-drinking and meat-eating person!
Ahem, if he is a drunkard and a womanizer, that would be even better.

It is very difficult to find a wise and brave man in the homes of these civil and military ministers. But there are a lot of strange and eccentric young men! If the princess is a drunkard, hey, hey, they can cater to her!

If one could have such a close relationship with the newly-minted royal family, even if it was not a formal marriage, even if one of one's sons or grandsons could be their lover... or even their mistress... even if they could be their concubine... for the entire family, this would be a great thing!

Look, the three princesses can sit directly next to His Majesty the Emperor!

'Bang'!
The door of the audience hall was slowly pushed open, and Prince Qiao Sen, who had fled in a panic a few days ago, walked in with his head held high, accompanied by a few blond-haired, silver-eyed old men, and a few blond-haired, golden-eyed, tall and handsome young men.

They were wearing noble robes with red on top and white on the bottom, and the sashes on their chests were also red and white, which were the royal colors of the Kingdom of Yingjishi, proving that they were all great nobles of the Kingdom of Yingjishi.

Behind Prince Qiao Sen and his entourage were a dozen burly men with blond hair and bloodshot eyes. Their formal suits were mainly iron grey, and even their ribbons were simply black and purple, only decorated with a few thin silver and gold threads.

These people come from the Kingdom of Saint Norman. Only in this old military-based country do they like the color of steel the most.

Xing Tianli subconsciously glanced at Liu Yan, Liu Xie, and Liu Jing.

The three women's expressions did not change at all, except that their pupils shrank to the size of needle tips. Liu Jing even picked up the bottle of wine and drank it down in three big gulps.

Xing Tianli nodded slowly, yes, that's right, you are indeed from the same place.

Holding the scepter, Xing Tianli slowly stood up and said, "Your Highness, you left without saying goodbye a few days ago... You have caused too much damage to the empire. I have been worrying about how to explain the big pits in the mountains to the people below."

Prince Qiao Sen coughed lightly and laughed dryly: "This is all the fault of those Saint Ross barbarians, isn't it? I came here today to solve this problem."

He looked at the three girls sitting beside Xing Tianli and who also stood up with him. Prince Qiao Sen's eyes suddenly lit up, and he took two steps forward very attentively, bowing deeply with aristocratic manner: "Ah, praise the merciful Virgin Mary, the three noble princesses, your beautiful faces are just like the stars that always accompany the Virgin Mary. The looks of all the women in the world are eclipsed in front of you."

Xing Tianli curled his lips and said, "You old pervert, how dare you provoke them?"

He quickly looked at the group of men with golden hair and golden eyes, and golden hair and bloodshot eyes, following behind Prince Qiao Sen. Guys from the Spark of Civilization Committee and the Pantheon, do you have the ability to identify the identities of Liu Yan, Liu Xie, and Liu Jing?
Xing Tianli didn't care at all whether they could recognize them!

Anyway, the unfortunate Black Crow Emperor is just a victim... Can you make excessive demands on an innocent victim? No... Behind Prince Qiao Sen, the two groups of people just glanced at the three women of Liu Jing indifferently.

A faint light suddenly flashed in their golden and blood-red eyes - but it was obvious that their attention was only on the three women's beautiful faces. They did not have any doubts about their identities, origins, or even their strengths.

Of course, the three women's method of restraining their breath was also extremely exquisite.

Even Xing Tianli, who possessed the bloodline of the little Pangu, had already reached the fifth level and possessed the strength of sixteen mountains. He dared to say that he was far superior to the three women of Liu Jing in the cultivation of the witch bloodline. However, at such a close distance, he could not detect any abnormality between the aura of the three women and that of ordinary mortals!
The three women are extremely skilled in the art of restraint and concealment.

Xing Tianli felt a little relieved, but also a little disappointed - he actually wanted to see a conflict break out between the three women and these blond aliens.

After all, the three girls didn't have a very good attitude towards him, right?
They poisoned him, branded his soul, and restricted his body... well, they just treated him like a slave. If it weren't for the fundamental method of "One Stick of Incense in the Furnace of Heaven and Earth" that he practiced, which was far superior to theirs in terms of rank and could have directly dissolved their three restrictions, would Xing Tianli really have to be their lackey?
Countless thoughts flashed through his mind, and behind Prince Qiao Sen, a young man with blond hair and golden eyes, and a young man with blond hair and bloodshot eyes, couldn't wait to grab it out.

The young man with blond hair and golden eyes was named Aogutonggu, and was obviously from the same clan as Augustus. The other young man with blond hair and bloodshot eyes was named Di Sa, and was obviously from the same clan as Di Si.

The two guys were just like two wild bears who had just filled their bellies in spring. As the saying goes, when you are well fed, you will think about sex. The animal instincts of the two guys took over, and they both had a strong sense of possessiveness. There were clearly three lively and beautiful girls in front of them, but they both acted as if these three girls could only belong to them.

The two of them walked shoulder to shoulder in front of Liu Yan and the other two girls.

As they rushed forward, their shoulders collided with each other, making a dull "bang bang" sound, and their dress uniforms, epaulettes, ribbons hanging on their chests, medals, etc. were all shattered. The two guys, with half of their arms exposed, approached the three women and began to introduce themselves with a smile on their faces.

Both of them actually have the title of prince.

Ogutungu is the Prince of Yingjishi.

That emperor is Prince Saint Norman.

Their titles were brand new and had never appeared in the records of the heraldry academies of the hundred countries in the Far West. Apparently, just like the princess titles of Liu Yan and the other two, they were also newly minted.

They bowed to the three women cordially, stammered some unskilled compliments, and then enthusiastically invited the three women to go to Inghis and Saint-Norman. They assured that both countries would welcome the three women with the greatest etiquette.

The three girls, Liu Yan, Liu Xie and Liu Jing, were obviously stunned.

There was still a trace of strange coldness in their eyes when they looked at Ogutonggu and Di Suo. These two guys actually came up to them without knowing the danger and enthusiastically invited them to be their guests?

Liu Yan and Liu Xie remained silent and kept smiling reservedly.

Liu Jing didn't care about that. She threw the wine bottle to the ground generously, smashing it to pieces. Then she took out a bottle of old wine from the secret compartment of the throne and took a sip: "What? Invite us to be your guests? Haha, all the wine is available?"

The eyes of Ogutonggu and Di Suo shrank at the same time, and they took a breath with a grin.

Then, they both nodded in unison: "Of course, plenty of wine."

Xing Tianli grinned and nodded, with his hands behind his back, putting on a fatherly look of a 'little girl who has just grown up', and said with a subtle smile: "My three sisters have noble status and noble blood. In the empire, they enjoy the same privileges as me... No matter what they want to do, I will support them."

"Similarly, they can decide everything about them. Whether it's their lives or their marriages." Xing Tianli said slowly: "The empire is vast, and the imperial army will take over those overseas colonies. All mature and immature colonial continents will be taken over by the empire."

"When each of my three sisters gets married, I will give her a mature colonial continent as her dowry. All the wealth and people on it will be her private property... and my brother-in-law's private property!"

When Liu Yan, Liu Xie, and Liu Jing heard Xing Tianli say this, the corners of their mouths drooped at the same time - sister? Who is your sister? You bastard lackey, you are overstepping your authority, you don't know what's good for you!

However, when they saw the blazing flames that suddenly lit up in Ogutonggu and Di Suo's eyes, felt the strong murderous intent that suddenly grew from the two men, and the terrifying murderous intent hidden in their eyes when they glared at each other, the three women suddenly came to their senses.

Liu Xie, who was called Er Hei Zi, said slowly, "We three sisters have a deep bond, just like one person... If we get married in the future, we will only marry the same person. This is something we swore when we were young, and it will never change!"

Therefore, not only Ogutungu and Di Sao, but also the young men with golden hair and golden eyes, golden hair and blood-red eyes who were traveling with them, and even Qiao Sen and the nobles of Yingjishi and Saint Norman who were traveling with them, all had crazy looks in their eyes - bastard, three beautiful girls are fine, but to these nobles, female beauty is not worth mentioning.

But marrying these three of them would mean a dowry of three colonial continents!

With three colonial continents, you can directly become a new empire!

Xing Tianli also glanced at Liu Xie - hey, Er Hei Zi is indeed Er Hei Zi, indeed he is insidious and treacherous... No, he is indeed like 'I', who can plan and win battles thousands of miles away!

In the sky, there was a strange "chi chi" ionization sound, and a small metal armored airship dropped from the sky and landed directly in front of the audience hall. With a loud shout, the ghost king clone that Xing Tianli left in the Dusk Mountains walked in with a large group of acquaintances with their heads held high.

He Duo, He Xi, a group of high-ranking officials of the Five Mountains Hall, as well as the Xing Tianren brothers, and a group of burly and domineering Xing Tian brothers, all wore heavy armor, like a group of moving steel giants, and walked forward with their heads held high with a fierce aura.

Xing Tianli raised his eyebrows and said, "Hmm, Prince Qiao Sen and others, are they here prepared?"

"Your Highness, who is this noble man who looks so dignified, wise, and like an emperor?" Xing Tianli pointed lightly at his Ghost King clone without blushing.

The Ghost King's clone nodded to Xing Tianli and said, "This man of noble bearing and extraordinary spirit must be the founding emperor of the Black Crow Empire, His Majesty the Black Crow? I am honored to meet him today. It is true that meeting him in person is better than hearing about him."

As soon as they met, Xing Tianli and his clone started a shameless business bragging match.

Prince Qiao Sen and others felt goosebumps all over their bodies - why do these two guys look so gay?
Brothers like Xing Tianren and He Duo, who knew the inside story, lowered their heads and looked at their toes. They were so embarrassed that they wanted to dig a hole and crawl into it - their eldest brother was too shameless!
"We are facing Saint Rose, an unprecedented powerful enemy together. We still haven't figured out what kind of power is behind Saint Rose, supporting them and causing them to possess some power that should not appear in this world." Ogutungu spoke first, vying to show off in front of the three beauties with rich dowries.

He said loudly: "So, we have invited His Excellency Xing Tianli, the Marquis of Black Cloud from the Eastern Kingdom of Shenzhou..."

Ogutungu's words suddenly stopped.

Marquis Black Cloud?

Black Crow Emperor?

This, this, this... You two were so gay when you met, is this your destiny?

Emperor Suo quickly changed the subject: "There is an old saying in the Eastern Kingdom of Shenzhou: to resist foreign aggression, we must first stabilize the internal situation... We are facing a strong enemy like Saint Ross, we must work together to deal with it together... Therefore, there must not be any unstable factors behind us."

Prince Qiao Sen also said hurriedly: "The Kingdom of Yidoli and its group of minions are the biggest destabilizing factors in the Western Continent... Before the full-scale war with the Saint Ross Empire, Yidoli should not exist."

Xing Tianli's eyes lit up.

He and the Ghost King clone clapped their hands at the same time: "Great! Although the Western Continent is vast, it cannot accommodate a single Yidoli. Let's join forces and take him down!"
