Another Life: Elf Archer

When the new king ascends the throne, everyone present will naturally come forward to express their congratulations.

Song Qing stepped forward, finished talking about the scene according to the routine, and wanted to leave.He was in a bad mood at the moment and had no patience to play rhetorical games with these people anymore. He just wanted to go offline to calm down, and it was best not to see someone again for the next few days.

The sentence Nian Nian just said was very short, just two words: Thank you.

Seeing her smiling face, recalling the extremely cooperative performance of Nian Nian just now, and thinking of the reason why Nian Nian specially invited them to the scene today, Song Qing immediately understood.

He is being used every year.

The person who realized this was not only Song Qing, but also Nian Nian Duoyou, Sui Sui and Zheng Qi. They were surprised for a moment and then shook their heads and laughed at the same time.

"Does this count as self-awareness?" Zheng Qi clicked his tongue.Nian Nian does not get involved in anything he is not good at. He directly invites Song Qing and others to see how they perform to add details to this established result.

And in this emergency situation, no matter whether Song Qing or the others disagree with Nian Nian's approach, they can only implement it according to her wishes without even raising any objections.

After all, if Nian Nian really messed up today's matter, then their entire caravan would be affected.Shi Sui and Song Qing knew clearly that this caravan trip had an uncertain future, and it was better to avoid some troubles as much as possible.

"It can be said that she knows people well, and she also believes in our abilities." Shisui comforted Song Qing.

Song Qing didn't want to say a word.

After reciting the congratulatory message respectfully, Songqing didn't even straighten up. He lowered his head and walked backwards for a few steps. It wasn't until the newly appointed King Khawarizh called his name twice that he stopped and looked up.

When Song Qing happily returned to the corner where Shi Sui and others were, and saw Nian Nian and Qi Youfeng standing here, he stopped smiling again and stared at Nian Nian, grinding his teeth.

Qi Youfeng played the role of a guard conscientiously, as if he had never seen him before, nodding to the ministers who were looking over him, and chatting with the people around him from time to time, vividly interpreting the image of a kind, gentle, dignified and generous prophet.

Song Qing still didn't want to say a word, but she kept talking to him every year, and even more so, he had to force a smile on her face to talk to her.

Zheng Qi was gloating on the side, and he couldn't laugh or cry at the time. The two of them were kinder, and would always interrupt at the right time to pick up Nian Nian's words, thus maintaining this happy and harmonious scene.

The new king called Songqing and directly stated that he wanted to have good relations with China. He exchanged credentials on the spot and designated permanent areas for envoys and caravans in the inner and outer cities. Khawarizhe's own envoy team was also selected. Among them, in order to allow these people to go to Chang'an, China as soon as possible, to show the good relations and mutual communication between the two countries.

Songqing himself was also awarded a very prominent honorary title, and was given a mansion, servants, and gold and silver. From then on, he had a certain authority and voice, but he could not actually participate in the military and political affairs of Khawarizhe's country.

This was the first order issued by the new king after he ascended the throne.The final word.

Standing here every year at this time, showing closeness to these people, is to ensure that this hammer will hit it firmly, there is no possibility of changing it, and no one dares to question it.

"Song Qing, my gift is wonderful, don't you want to thank me?" Nian Nian smiled warmly, Song Qing also smiled brightly, and others felt that the two of them were having a great time talking to each other.

Shi Sui quickly answered: "It's time to thank you. You have discussed this with the new king in advance."

Nian Nian turned around to talk to him, leaving behind Song Qing who was laughing until his muscles were stiff.

As he spoke, Nian Nian turned his head: "Song Qing, why don't you help me come up with an excuse and show why I want to leave with your team?"

Song Qing, who had just regained his breath, almost broke his back molar, and the smile on his face could hardly be maintained.

"I'll think about this." Zheng Qi stepped between the two of them, blocking the sight of Nian Nian's smiling face.

"Can you do it? I actually believe in Master Songqing's skills." Nian Nian asked a little doubtfully, successfully hearing the clear sound of teeth grinding from behind Zheng Qi.

"I know you hate Song Qing for making his own decisions before, especially for cheating you, but can we solve this problem later?" Zheng Qi said in a low voice.He had begun to sympathize with Song Qing, so he stopped condemning this man's ability to control his emotions.

Nian Nian smiled gently, and as expected, he did not deliberately tease Song Qing anymore. He turned around and waited quietly for everything in the palace to settle.

The new king was a vigorous and resolute man. After receiving the audience from the ministers and officials, and thanking Song Qing, Shi Sui and others for their congratulations, he got up and returned to his palace, where he began to prepare to become an excellent king.

And his new adopted sister, unintentionally ignored by everyone, returned to her bedroom in the palace and saw the maids kneeling before her again.

Compared with the fluctuations in people's hearts caused by the selection of the new king, the identity change of the former princess seems insignificant.Now that the former has been satisfactorily resolved, the latter will naturally follow suit and become an undeniable fact.

As soon as Sui and others returned to their temporary settlement in the city, Songqing went offline cursing.

"Tsk tsk tsk tsk, this mental quality needs to be improved."

Shi Sui helplessly faced Nian Nian who had climbed down from the wall. He raised his hand and rubbed her head, shook his head and sighed:

"You, you still can't calm down, just keep acting now, there's no need to point it out."

"Well, that's boring." Nian Nian tilted his head.

"Song Qing will definitely be able to think of this afterward, but if you don't point it out clearly, he can pretend not to know, accept his feelings, save face, and then he will be more grateful and caring to you. When he wants to take advantage of you again in the future , he will think more about you and try to take care of your situation. He is a person who likes soft things but not hard things."

"Uh" Nian Nian scratched his head, "You are teaching me how to plot against him better."

Zheng Qi also looked sideways frequently, while Sanchi Shui recalled what happened between Song Qing and them when they first got acquainted.It seems that the two of them had secretly clashed with each other many times at that time. Later, for some unknown reason, Song Qing quietly joined Xing Tianxia and "arrogantly" became the vice president of Shi Sui.

"I'm teaching you how to get along with others." Shisui replied.

"I don't want to get along with a cheat like Song Qing, and I don't want to be friends with him." Nian Nian pouted.

"When getting along with anyone, you have to pay attention to methods. This is true for strangers, this is true for friends, and this is true for enemies." Shi Sui said patiently.

"Trouble." Nian Nian muttered and sank into the chair.In just a few words, they had already walked into the hall and each found a seat to sit down.

Seeing Nian Nian's drowsy look, clearly not wanting to hear more, Shi Sui held the tea cup and continued: "For example, how do you get along with your Brother Feng? If you refuse, how do you refuse politely? It won't damage his good impression of you in the future; if you don't refuse, how will you maintain and consolidate the relationship between the two in the future?

"It's interesting, you might as well teach me."

Qi Youfeng walked in from the door with a smile and sat next to Nian Nian.Nian Nian walked on the roof, and he walked, so there was a gap in time between the two of them arriving here, which was just enough for him to hear Shi Sui's last words.

Nian Nian simply closed his eyes, curled up his legs, and buried his face in his arms. His exposed ears were red.

Zheng Qi and Sanchi Shui, who stayed here, also picked up their teacups and lowered their heads in silence.This scene not only made Nian Nian feel a little embarrassed, but they also felt it.

Shi Sui was calm, put down the tea cup, and looked at Qi Youfeng with a serious look: "She is young, her personality has not yet been finalized, her emotions are easily affected, and she lacks experience in this area. We all see what you are like. , I don’t have any opinions at the moment.”

Zheng Qi and Sanchi Shui, who were represented, buried their heads and coughed lightly.It's what Sui said. They have nothing to do with this gossip.

"But since you are a human being, you have selfishness and possessiveness, and there will be resentment and resentment, and you will not get what you want. I just hope that you will not force her, let alone use some of the immaturity in her character to ask for repayment."

These last four words are really a bit heavy.Zheng Qi and Sanchi Shui looked up in surprise, wondering why Sui, a man who had always been very measured, would say such things in public.Sanchishui has also begun to secretly warn Qi Youfeng that he will become angry in shame.

He did not.

Before today, or earlier today, Qi Youfeng would have walked away on the spot when he heard this, let alone take it to heart.But at this moment, he completely understood the meaning of these four words.

Qi Youfeng stood up and clasped his fists: "I understand. Thank you."

The first three words were said for himself, and the last two words were said for Nian Nian.He didn't expect that the relationship between Sui and Nian would be so subtle, and that he would understand Nian so thoroughly. He could clearly detect the problem from the two of them getting along in recent days.He was glad that there was such a sober person beside her every year, who cared about her, so that he would not make any irreparable mistakes unscrupulously.

Shi Sui nodded and looked at Nian Nian.

These words are not only a reminder to Qi Youfeng, but also a reminder to Nian Nian.But looking at Nian Nian's somewhat dazed look, Nian Nian knew that the effect was not good.

Forget it, if Nian Nian's "personality" could be changed so easily, he wouldn't focus on Qi Youfeng.

Qi Youfeng, who had already sat back in his chair, recalled Shi Sui's words just now, and suddenly felt a faint sense of violation.

"Okay, okay, let's change the topic." Seeing that the atmosphere in the hall was getting more solemn, Zheng Qi interrupted with a smile and changed the topic, "Our every year children are still very good. Look at their temperament just now, they are nothing like The prophet looks like a goddess."

"Yes, yes, this acting is absolutely amazing. You are both an idol and a capable person. I will send you a trophy later." Sanchi Shuiye answered with a playful smile.

"The trophies you handed out are not valuable, so why not give them money directly." He made a face at Sanfeishui every year.She also felt that the atmosphere was weird, so she deliberately became more lively at this time, and started bickering with Sanchi Shui.

"It's really amazing. It's amazing." In the midst of the excitement, Shi Suiye praised him knowingly,

Nian Nian embarrassedly scratched his cheek with his fingers and explained: "I also practiced in front of the mirror for a long time. In the end, it was thanks to having a template that felt good."

The "Template" people turned their heads, and Qi Youfeng was also curious.When he returned to the palace from the other end of Lake Murit, Nian Nian had prepared everything and was sitting on the terrace on the east side of the hall, looking through a picture.

picture scroll

"This is the scroll." Nian Nian took out a thick scroll from the storage crystal and unfolded it for others to see.

The part unfolded by Nian Nian happens to be a picture of a goddess. Although the body shape and expression are a little different, others can tell at a glance that this painting is of Nian Nian.

The characters were vivid and lifelike, and a sense of solemnity and solemnity came to their faces. Several people who saw this painting couldn't help but sit up straight and restrained their smiles, for fear of blaspheming the gods.

The next moment, several people exchanged shocked looks in surprise.They were actually affected by a painting at the same time and had emotional changes.

"This is a painting by Su Ze" was because Sui was familiar with Niannian's interpersonal relationships, and immediately thought of this famous painter.

"Well, this is his birthday gift to me. It took three whole days to paint. It's called a Thousand Faces Picture." Nian Nian rolled it up and unfolded it, revealing the next one.

This is a portrait of a female warrior.Everyone looked around and felt as if they were under the woman's sword. Their bodies were cold and their heartbeats stopped for a moment.

Zheng Qi was even more surprised. "A thousand faces and a thousand portraits of this level."

In just three days, it is not easy for one person to paint one or two masterpieces.This person mass-produced a thousand paintings in three days that were vivid enough to affect the viewer's mood. Is this guy human?

"Yeah, yeah." Nian Nian also introduced it to Yourong Yan enthusiastically, "Su Ze is a genius in this area. The paintings are sentimental and real. He uses birth, old age, illness and death as the four themes, and a thousand faces as the theme. Name, it painted a thousand versions of me, it’s amazing, right?”

"This is like a revolving door of life." Zheng Qi sighed.

"More than that. We often say that there are many possibilities in a person's life, but in fact everyone can only experience some of them, and the rest can only be fantasy. This Su Ze's painting not only depicts These unrealized possibilities, and because his paintings have a unique sense of extreme realism, will make people mistakenly think that these are actual life experiences. It is not an exaggeration to say that they are the ultimate compensation for life. "

Shi Sui seemed to be sighing. He squeezed the tea cup tightly with his fingers. He looked at the scroll in Nian Nian's hand and seemed to see other places through the scroll.

He thought of the life that passed by like a meteor, and also thought of the countless fantasies he had had.

"Can I see this scroll?" Shi Sui smiled at Nian Nian, his tone somewhat sincere.

"Of course." Nian Nian rolled up the painting and handed it to Shi Sui.

It was Sui who took it over and slowly unfolded it.

Among the four themes of birth, old age, illness and death, he wanted to look at the theme of "illness" first.

On the scroll, a corner of a white cabin was just exposed. Suddenly there was a noise from outside the door. A man ran into the hall and shouted out of breath:

"Something happened. That lake, that lake, Mulit Lake, disappeared."
