"In response to your efforts, I'll be a little more serious, so let's start with the eight points first!"

Covered tightly by a black trench coat and a wide flat hat, the aura of evil spread unrestricted from the body of the Thunder Emperor, this evil is like a substantial "gravity", which not only makes people feel suffocating fear, but also makes people unable to move.

Tianxue immediately clenched her fists, she already felt the precursor of the Thunder Emperor's outburst.

And with the swing of the Thunder Emperor's arm, the three daggers flashed blue light in the rainy night, and swooped down on the snow with lightning speed, and this was the beginning of a new round of battle.

It's so fast!

Tianxue hurriedly dodged, but the Thunder Emperor rushed in front of her at the same time as Tianxue dodged, "The rapid fist is a weapon that can be overwhelming even by the wind, this is power!"

The moment the fist touched the ground, the earth fell apart in an instant!

And with the air flow generated when the ground exploded, Tianxue jumped high into the air, "Bright Mystery - Demon Slayer!"

This was Tianxue's second blow, and the process was almost the same as before, except this time she slashed it in mid-air, and with the help of her condescending advantage, her blow was a few points stronger than the first blow.

It's just, and then it's not an egg!

The Thunder Emperor raised his left arm contemptuously and caught the blow with one hand again, and this time Tianxue could clearly see that the Thunder Emperor did not feel the slightest effort, and did not even frown.

He's just too strong!

And the result was obvious, Tianxue's second attack was once again crushed by the Thunder Emperor!

"That's your strength?

“......”

After encountering countless opponents and surviving the nights of Shura, Tianxue, who was covered in blood, felt an unprecedented sense of powerlessness for the first time.

"You should have one more chance to perform the 'Mystery of Light', right?" the Thunder Emperor pointed at the silver, "I asked you for the last time, no!

"Never!"

Tianxue coldly rejected the Thunder Emperor's kindness.

"Do you want to throw away your life for the sake of this waste?"

"Yes!"

"The negotiation is bankrupt. ”

“......”

Tianxue's figure quickly melted into the darkness of the night, and she knew that it was impossible to defeat the Thunder Emperor with a frontal hard attack, and if she wanted to maximize the victory, then the only possibility was to attack him unprepared. In other words, it is possible only to completely hit the Thunder!

But how?

The two were in a stalemate, Tianxue moved around at high speed and looked for the flaws of the Thunder Emperor, while the Thunder Emperor standing in the middle of the road closed his eyes and felt the change in Tianxue's movement.

Although it is not as intense as lightning, it renders the realm of life and death.

"Another time for you, I wonder how you will attack me. ”

Suddenly!

On the other side of the rain curtain, a white light suddenly appeared, "Bright Mystery - Demon Slayer Slash!"

"Positive? You're naïve, Tianxue!"

......

Rainy night, Cold Moon Imperial Council.

This is a classical four-story building on the edge of the inner city, just from the exterior wall covered with vines, it may just be a large house with a long history, in fact, this is the center of the empire, where all the events that happen in the empire are summarized, subdivided and filtered, and finally handed over to His Majesty to decide.

It was late at night, but the government affairs center was brightly lit under the rainstorm.

The inside and outside of the iron gate and in the courtyard garden were full of Heavenly Guards temporarily recruited from within the Imperial City, and some earth-level secret beasts with an extremely keen sense of smell, the Fiery Dogs, were also wandering around.

"Is the Prime Minister being too careful?"

The man who spoke was the commander of the Guard, Odoka Nimauck, a large man whose most striking impression was his thick and unusual beard and his neighing voice, and he sat in a back chair and watched listlessly as the people entering and leaving the council.

As the arms purchase meeting was imminent, His Majesty opened the treasury ahead of schedule and temporarily placed "all" of the gold coins in the basement of the Government Council, mainly for the purpose of counting and counting accounts.

In the past few days, the officials in charge of the government affairs yuan have not even been free to eat and sleep, their eyes are bloodshot, and their eye sockets are deeply sunken.

In addition to the officials in charge of the accounts, the accountants and porters were the most troublesome, and of course, the Imperial Chancellor Nicholas Ront was among them.

At the end of the gold count, the gray-haired, crutche-clad old man finally breathed a sigh of relief, he looked a little haggard, and the wrinkles on his face became more pronounced.

......

In the Prime Minister's office.

Seeing off the last of the visiting officials, Prime Minister Ronte sat down on the couch in front of the fireplace and took out his handkerchief to wipe the sweat from his forehead.

Just then, there was a knock on the door.

"Come in. ”

The Marquis of Kefer, who was holding a thick official document, walked in, "The accounts have been counted, do you want to listen to it?" Seeing the prime minister's listless appearance, he also understood in his heart how could a person who had only slept for eight hours in three days be energetic, let alone an old man.

Prime Minister Ronte stood up and nodded after pouring himself a glass of wine.

"Your Majesty has brought here from the treasury two hundred and forty-one thousand four hundred thousand three hundred gold coins, in forty-three boxes, each with five hundred thousand gold coins. ”

"Oh. Taking a sip of wine, Prime Minister Rong Te said lightly: "Very good, by the way......" As he spoke, he took out a stack of Imperial Bank cashier's notes from his arms, "Your Majesty's money is impossible to buy armaments, so I plan to persuade the nobles to donate more." ”

Kefer carefully took the promissory notes, and a surprised expression suddenly appeared on his face, "Uncle, this money?"

"All the family's savings, hehe! I even sold that small manor in Longyu Province. ”

Chancellor Junt's voice didn't sound imposing, but Kefer was too moved to say a word. My uncle is in charge of the government, but his starting point is good, at least the concept of the Nicholas family is to safeguard the interests of the family, but what are the interests of the family? The interests of the Cold Moon Empire are the interests of the family! If the Cold Moon Empire loses this purchase of armaments, then it is very likely to fall into war, and the final result will ......

In the event of the fall of the Cold Moon Empire, then the Nicholas family will also be at the end of the road.

Under the nest, there are no eggs!

Prime Minister Rongte is a smart man, and he knows this truth very well, so this time he gave everything he had, ready to give it a go!

"My monthly income is more than 200 gold coins, don't worry. ”

For a figure like the prime minister, he spends far more than this amount in a day, plus the expenses of the family and Xue Ya's profligacy......

"What about Miss Xueya......?

"Granddaughter?" Prime Minister Rongte laughed happily, "I think she will understand a few months of pocket money." ”

Kefer was really silent this time, Xue Ya's girl spent thousands of gold coins a day, but Hua Long's monthly salary was only fifty gold coins, did you want the Xilie family to bear this money? If so, it would really become the biggest laughing stock of the Cold Moon Empire.

"Oh yes, what do Duke Wink and Duke Otto say (Miss Lanth's father, one of the Big Five)?"

Both dukes expressed their willingness to give generously. ”

Hearing this, Prime Minister Rongte's face finally showed a smile, "In this way, two of the three major consortia of the empire are already willing to pay, and the rest is to persuade the other nobles at tomorrow's House of Representatives meeting." ”

"And what about Count Auno?"

"Don't worry. ”

The three major consortia of the empire are: Duke Wink's Dosha Consortium, Duke Otto's Berubin Consortium and Count Auno's Silie Consortium, of course, the wealth of the Silie Consortium is the least of the three major consortia, and according to conservative estimates, its total assets are also around 50 million gold coins.

Among these three big shots, Duke Winck and Marshal Ron have a grudge, Duke Otto is more snobbish, to put it bluntly, he is on par with "money", and Count Auno is his own family, thinking of this Prime Minister Rongte is also relieved, presumably tomorrow as long as the three consortiums are willing to pay, then other nobles will naturally follow suit, so that the principal of the empire can at least exceed 80 million gold coins.

"But we can't be too happy, the old bastard of the marshal won't let us get away with it easily. ”

“？”

What does my uncle mean is that Ron will come out to stir up trouble? Kefer doesn't understand, isn't the marshal from the Empire? Why would he want to stir up trouble in this matter? The Empire can't buy armaments and it doesn't do him any good to him. What's more, with his current influence, he can't make any waves at all.

"Don't forget, most of the people in the military department are still on his side. Prime Minister Rongte said dissatisfied.

Kefer has a deep understanding of this matter, the last time he went to the military headquarters with his uncle, the situation was obviously on the side of their conservatives, but at the last moment, Ron appeared, he didn't say anything, but the situation changed. What does this mean?

"He'll be in the House of Representatives tomorrow too. Taking another sip of wine, Prime Minister Rongte's eyes fell on the blurry floor-to-ceiling window, and at this moment, the dark clouds in the sky and the faint thunder made him vaguely feel that an ominous atmosphere was quietly approaching.

"Uncle, what's wrong with you?"

"Oh my God, it's getting cold. ”

......

The North Governor's Mansion, in Hualong's official office.

Tarex and Xingxue stood in front of the window anxiously waiting for Hua Long to return, but they were in the same mood.

The warm room makes you feel cold, the quiet atmosphere makes you feel oppressive, and they are waiting in such an environment.

Finally...

"I can't wait!"

"Where are you going?" came the lifeless voice of the staff behind Xingxue.

"Of course it's to save Hua Long!

"Is this necessary?"

"You ......"

Xingxue, who had been in a depressed state, walked quickly to the window, and 'savagely' grabbed Tarex's collar, she usually looked at this dead fish face unpleasantly, but with Hua Long here, she always tolerated it, but he who had always advocated dealing with Hua Yun before did not dissuade Hua Long, but instead ......

......
