"Whew~ I can finally rest for a while. That's a lot of bad stuff. ”

When Cohen finished his day's work, dragged his tired body, and opened the door with emotion, he was greeted by a scene that had been turned into a mess, and a pair of dark purple eyes hidden in the darkness.

Seeing those cold and glittering eyes, Cohen instantly recognized its owner.

"My hair and eyes are getting darker. He has always remained young. It's good to be young. ”

For some reason, seeing the obvious bad person, Cohen's mind was filled with inconsequential feelings and a faint hint of envy and jealousy. He didn't call his men and gently closed the door.

Glancing at the pages of the letter that had been gently lifted off the ground by the night breeze, Cohen smiled gently, and the increasingly conspicuous laugh lines on his face spread out.

"I wonder what Shadow of the Throne broke into my room late at night for?"

The figure in the shadows stood up and stepped out, the cold moonlight shining through the window, all absorbed by the iconic black outfit.

"When did Gwyna start?"

As the leader of the Dark Guard, no matter how powerful Lancelot is, it is impossible for him to hide it from Cohen. In addition, there is also a dark guard in the young man's narrative, so Zheng Ming, who has thought deeply, appeared here.

"I don't understand what you mean? What happened to the queen? ”

Cohen, who looked puzzled, was pressed against the wall by Zheng Ming, who was full of impatience and irritability. Immediately afterwards, Zheng Ming's slightly trembling voice sounded.

"Don't play dumb on me. When did Gwynna and Lancelot start? Arthur, does he know the truth? ”

Cohen understood Zheng Ming's state at this time from the voice that tried his best to suppress his anger that caused him to tremble slightly, and his eyes that seemed to be about to breathe fire. So he didn't put up the slightest resistance, and let the other party grab his neck.

Cohen, as the head of intelligence, knows very well how powerful Zheng Ming is today. Even more than Zheng Ming himself, what does his combat power mean in this world?

"I understand that someone like me who hasn't grown in more than a decade is no match for you. But if you really want to talk, I want you to let me go, not use intimidation. And the voice of the implied anger just now is very good. ”

Zheng Ming didn't see fear in Cohen's eyes. took a deep look at this man who calmly made a request and even smiled at the same time.

Pursing the corners of his mouth unhappily, Zheng Ming snorted coldly, and then let go of the other party.

Resuming his usual lazy attitude, Zheng Ming picked up the wooden chair and sat down in Cohen's direction, complaining in an unhurried tone.

"I really don't want to care about all that. As early as Gwenna confided in me in a coma, I sensed the unwillingness to be lonely in her anticipation. I also warned at the time. I didn't expect it to develop to the point where it is now. Gwyna Lancelot on one side and Arthur on the other, it really gave me a headache.

Tell me about it. Since when? Does Arthur know? As if I had heard this from somewhere else, there are many ways to get what happened, so I advise you to be honest. ”

"Now that you know, there's nothing to hide. Do you think that as the closest person to Her Royal Highness the Princess, the new king will not know anything? ”

"It's the Queen and King Arthur. When will you old guys left behind by the old king recognize the reality? The old king has been dead for many years. The current king is Arthur. Your allegiance is not to the old man who has gone to the ground, but to Arthur! ”

Hearing Zheng Ming's sarcasm, the smile on Cohen's face froze, but he didn't defend too much.

"It's not too much to worry about. In short, I don't think we need to pierce through that layer of window paper, but to reveal the unbearable truth and spread it out in front of the new king. Maybe the new king acquiesced? Maybe they just like it? ”

"Huh? Would you wish that while you were fighting on the front lines, your wife would have a private meeting with someone else? Have you forgotten the old ministers left behind by you old guys? Arthur is the object of your allegiance. He is the king! And not Gwyna. You are courtiers of the Celtic kingdom, not servants of the royal family. I'm going to ask if Arthur really knows. I think you're all working together to hide from that nerd. ”

"Go if you want! Isn't it all because of you? ”

Zheng Ming, who originally wanted to get up and leave, was stunned when he heard Cohen's accusation, he kicked off the chair and looked at Cohen, his face was gloomy and almost dripping.

"What do you mean by that?"

"Long before the king betrothed the princess to the new king, the princess's affection for Lancelotchin already existed. Do you remember when you just woke up and you went to the palace to make a big fuss? Originally, the two of them just admired each other, but they didn't really start to communicate until soon after that time. ”

"I remember that Lancelot came to conquer the Frostland Kingdom shortly after that, and stayed there for more than a year."

"yes. Just like it was arranged by the dragon god, the hot love that had just started was separated for a period of time, which caused the relationship between the two to become more and more hot, and the burning emotions and parting thoughts after coming back were out of control. ”

Hearing Cohen's narration, Zheng Ming was stunned. He never imagined that his original misunderstanding and precautionary actions would play a catalytic role in it.

"You think it's really that simple? Everyone has spoiled you too much over the years. Whether it's the old king, the new king, the princess, or us courtiers. We all hope that you have been in the whirlpool of politics and the struggle for royal power, and that you have lived too comfortably all these years.

You scream and scream, the new king has more to think about than you think. You think you know him well? No matter which king he is, whether he is competent or not, whether he is mediocre or virtuous, it is impossible for outsiders to see through. This is especially true of our new king. ”

"What exactly do you want to say?"

"I'm sure you know it well. What are the forces that are supporting the rule of the new king, and what are the forces that support his royal power? Among them, the aristocratic group represented by Lancelot, as well as those of us who left behind by the old king and are now obedient to the princess, are almost the pillars and cornerstones supporting his new throne! More powerful than in the hands of his new king! What do you think will happen if this is made public? ”

You don't need to think deeply about Zheng Ming to see those bad pictures. In the minds of the people of this world, once the news of the queen's betrayal of the king spreads, neither Gwena nor Lancelot will inevitably be hanged. And as a betrayed king, he will also be criticized and despised.

Gwynna and Lancelot will definitely resist in order to survive. And the enormous power they have in their hands will surely cause an uproar. Those careerists who are waiting for the opportunity will surely resurface.

And in this period of chaotic warfare and the eyes of the enemy, the consequences of violent turmoil in the country can be imagined. They will definitely take the opportunity to sow discord and amplify the contradictions, and find the right time to invade on a large scale. The biggest possibility is that the disintegrated kingdom no longer has the strength to resist foreign enemies, and it will eventually be defeated. Slaughtered, enslaved, or submitted.

"Think of the time when the old king was forced to marry the princess to the new king during his reign. At that time, the old king, who had been firmly on the throne for decades, said that no one dared to question it. What's more, it is King Arthur, who is inferior to the king in terms of blood and power prestige. ”

Cohen's persuasion played a certain role, Zheng Ming, who originally wanted to find Arthur in person and tell him the truth, only felt that he was going to die of entanglement at this time, and all kinds of chaotic thoughts came flooding back, making him upset and having a splitting headache.

In the room, Cohen looked at Zheng Ming, who looked entangled and rushed the door, and didn't say anything more.

Standing quietly in the doorway, admiring the courtyard that he was proud of in the past, Cohen raised his hand and signaled.

The brilliance of energy was particularly conspicuous in the night sky, and in a few moments, several black shadows appeared in the silent courtyard and knelt down on one knee in front of him.

"Call Henry here. It's time to reimagine your defenses. ”

Ignoring Zheng Ming's intrusion, Cohen is determined to reconstruct his residence and create a perfect defense against the enemy.

On the other side, Zheng Ming, who had dodged all the dark whistles and whistles and ran out of Cohen's Mansion with ease, was standing on the street with a blank expression and didn't know where to go.

Talk to Arthur? But what if Arthur really defaulted? It's sad to make a compromise for the sake of the stability of the kingdom, and I want to uncover that scar?

But what if Arthur didn't know? I think I'm going to leave in two days. Knowing that when he and Arthur and the others set off for the battlefield, Gwena and Lancelot would definitely act without scruples, did it just happen?

"Where is the princess who is regarded as a sister, cute, lively, and without a shelf? She would have betrayed Arthur. Arthur, who is still young and strong, is not messing around because of your Gwynna's age.

And that Lancelot, who thinks of himself as a friend, would do such a thing. It was in vain that Arthur thought so much of him. ”

Thinking of Gwyna and Lancelot, as well as Arthur, who had never met other women outside, Zheng Ming felt more and more unworthy for Arthur.

Just when his face was cloudy and his heart was indignant, suddenly there was a light touch on his right shoulder, and then a hoarse and gloomy voice sounded behind his ears.

"Hehe, I heard you're looking for me?"

The sudden change made Zheng Ming's expression froze, and almost subconsciously the pitch-black and hideous energy armor condensed on his body, and the blazing black flames gushed out more than three meters high. His body slumped forward in accordance with his long-standing habits, and his right leg kicked behind him with a piercing sound of breaking wind.

"Bang."

It wasn't until the feeling of the person behind him being kicked and flying along the blow of his feet came to his mind that Zheng Ming realized the owner of the voice.

As expected, when he turned around, what he saw was the No. 13 girl-Kuka.

"What nerves? You want to kill me? ”

At this time, Kuka, who barely made a block at the last moment, was kicked out and fell firmly, stroked his arms with a dissatisfied face, and barely stood up.

"It seems that the lesson I gave you last time was not enough. You dare to provoke me. ”

"Huh? Didn't you ask No. 12 about my whereabouts? Now that I'm here, you're still biting me back? ”

Seeing Kuka, who lifted his hood in anger and regained his crisp voice, and jumped towards him, Zheng Ming frowned. If it was before, he would also be interested in teaching the offending other party a lesson, adding some spice to the boring and ordinary life. But obviously, he didn't have the energy and patience to worry about bad things.

On the side, Kuka saw that Zheng Ming ignored him and turned around to leave, and suddenly grinded his tiger teeth into a gurgling sound. Feeling that the other party was at a loss, she was not afraid of the other party's strong combat power, and stubbornly blocked in front of Zheng Ming.

"Stop. Didn't you say there are well-paid tasks? Are you lying to me? If you don't explain it to me today, don't want to leave. ”

Seeing Kuka's rational expression, he pestered himself with confidence, and Zheng Ming was angry.

"You're really not afraid of death."

Zheng Ming's gloomy face and implicit threatening words did not deter Kuka. She still looked like she wanted justice, and shouted with her face up.

"Don't think you're going to scare me. It's a big deal, don't want this copy to reward the old lady. It's time to feed the dogs. ”

Originally, he just casually said that Zheng Ming, who wanted to know his whereabouts from the 12th, had any mission. Fist also prepared a lot before the lesson.

looked at Kuka, who was clinging to the task as if he was missing a tendon, and he had to apologize to himself. Zheng Ming, who realized that if she didn't give an explanation that satisfied her, the other party would definitely not give up, a flash of inspiration flashed in her mind.

"In two days' time, we will go to the border of the kingdom to guard the enemy. Some elite are needed. If you are interested, you can report to the Dragon and Lion Legion camp tomorrow. ”

Seeing that Kuka was stunned when he heard this, his eyes were stunned on the spot, and Zheng Ming hurriedly fled and left.

After a few moments, Kuka, who remained in place, looked excited and excited. After noticing that Zheng Ming had long since disappeared, she didn't pay much attention to it. Muttering to himself, he turned and walked towards his temporary accommodation.

"He was able to issue a task. Infiltrate the kingdom of Dorne with the party? The rewards are so generous? ”

……

In this way, in Zheng Ming's entanglement, in the waiting of many people's mixed expectations and worries, two days passed quickly.

The planned team is led by Zheng Ming, Arthur, Locke, Zax, Einzfield, Jaylander, Garrel, Gawain, Kai and others, and the atmosphere is nine teams. These elite squads of players, adventurers, generals, and mages set out from the royal capital in batches, secretly changing direction halfway through, and finally uniting on the border adjacent to the kingdom of Dorne.

Under the city wall, Zheng Ming looked at Gwyna who stood on the city wall and waved goodbye to him after asking Arthur to be careful, and Lancelot, who was not far away, had a complicated look in his eyes. Without thinking about anything else, he grabbed the reins and beckoned his men to follow, and then left after Arthur.
