Chapter 639 Everyone understands the meaning of the word price, but they always forget it unconsciously
For those who are able, no matter where they are, it is his kingdom of heaven.
While other Byronians felt like hell in the Bell camp, this guy was like a fish in the water, and he returned to his home turf in an instant. While others were struggling to survive, he was already having fun.
So for the strong, the world is fair, but for the weak, the world is full of malice.
The angle of the station is different, and the conclusions drawn are naturally different.
Wren attached great importance to public opinion and propaganda, he first inspected the concentration camp, and then decided to open the Bell concentration camp for three days while the alchemists of the Imperial Academy had not yet arrived, and welcomed scholars or public opinion pioneers from all over the empire to supervise it.
If Wren had done this in the past, he would have set off another round of public opinion, and people would blame him for his dishonesty and slippery head, then the long road was only open for three days, and many people had already passed three days when they were on the road. Not anymore, thanks to the train developed by the Imperial Research Institute, almost half of the Empire has the opportunity to come here.
After taking a turn in the province of Bell and beating some of the swaying nobles, Wren drove lightly and took Jasmine on the road alone, returning to the imperial capital.
At this time, the imperial capital unexpectedly calmed down, as if the previous "inverted storm wave" had not appeared at all, but everyone knew that this turmoil did not appear, but was artificially hidden. The calmer the present, the more it predicts the fierceness of the future eruption.
"You're back!", Voncos, Celeste, Aflow, and Blair all stood on the platform of the imperial capital to greet Wren. With them came some nobles, such as the Rhine.
These people have been branded with the mark of Wren, a deep mark that they can't scrub off even if they want to. Empress Pars doesn't reuse them because of their recklessness, and is more likely to kick them into the abyss after using them.
The Orlando family's ability to hold grudges has been passed down from generation to generation, and as long as the Orlando family is not overthrown, they will one day be able to take revenge.
The weather was a bit gloomy, with the summer sea breeze carrying a lot of moisture from the south, and the rainless imperial capital began the only long rainy weather season of the year. Heavy dark clouds weigh on people's hearts, as has happened recently. Many people don't have a precise idea of what the future holds, and the only thing they can do is to stay on the ship of Rennes until they reach the other shore or sink it.
The moment Wren stepped out of the carriage with one foot and stepped firmly on the platform, the dark clouds rolling in the sky suddenly seemed to be ordered or frightened, and actually began to dissipate. A bright crack opened in the thick dark clouds, and the golden light instantly sprinkled like a projection, shining on Wren's body.
The entire platform instantly became extraordinarily quiet, and people stared at the same place with wide eyes and disbelief, Wren was like a god bathed in sunlight less than two meters in radius. The sunlight gives him a variety of colors, which is in sharp contrast to the gloomy and gloomy surroundings. The extremely impactful contrast of pictures makes many people's brains lose the ability to think at this moment.
Is this the coming of the gods?
Immediately afterward, a wave of mad joy and pleasure arose in the hearts of the people who greeted Wren, and they bowed their heads reverently and offered their most sincere loyalty.
They don't say anything absurd and funny, but in their hearts, there is a different kind of thought spreading.
Many times people say that they are atheists, and they do not believe that there was once such a powerful existence as a god. But when this picture appeared, they thought in their hearts that perhaps only a god or some other force could explain the scene.
Wren was also slightly stunned, he raised his head and looked at the sky, the gap between the dark clouds that were as heavy as a thick quilt and torn by the sun was constantly expanding, and all of this was centered on him, he seemed to be standing at the center of the world!
He smiled faintly, walked forward, patted Funkos on the shoulder, and whispered "hard work". Funkos responded with a smile and stepped aside.
Celeste threw herself into Wren's arms at once, hugging him tightly. When she watched as Sarcomo was taken away, and the direction of the wind in the entire imperial capital changed dramatically in an instant, she almost didn't know what to do about it. She forced herself to calm down, thinking back to the past, imagining what he would have done if Wren was here now. Although Celeste's work was not perfect, her presence was very powerful in suppressing some of the people of the Arcanian family.
So far, there have only been two gardeners and a rough servant, and it can be said that she has done a very, very good job. Considering her origins and the education she received, these were more than she could afford, what else was needed to be said?
"I'm back, I'll take care of the rest. Wren patted Celeste on the shoulder, and the little girl let go of her arms with a glint in her eyes, and stood aside reluctantly.
Avlo and Von Cos, as well as Celeste, behaved very differently. This black barbarian saintess who had intimate contact with Wren was as light as a holy flower that was not contaminated with the slightest dust, she just nodded slightly and said "I'm back", even if it was a hello. Wren nodded, slightly aggravating his tone, "Yes, it's back!"
Standing in fourth was Blair, who was a little embarrassed at this time, he had already felt the distrust from Wren, and he didn't know what to say at this time. Wren looked at him and softened slightly, and patted him on the shoulder, "We'll talk when we have time." ”
This sentence was like the sunlight before it, instantly lighting up Blair's dark and lightless world. He nodded excitedly, he had been with Wren for four or five years, and he knew very well what kind of person Wren was. He is willing to talk to you, which means that you are still saved, and Blair even felt his eyes moisten a little.
In fifth place, it is the Marquis of Rhine.
When Wren was not in the imperial capital, the Marquis of Rhine was like the Dinghai Divine Needle of the Wren Group, the more stable and indifferent he became, the more reassuring the little nobles and little people who were attached to the Wren Group. It can be said that there was no serious betrayal this time, which is directly related to the performance of Rhine. If he collapses directly, I am afraid that an avalanche effect will be formed in an instant, which will affect the entire Rennes Group.
The two shook hands, very hard, "I want to thank you." Wren let go of his hand, and the two stepped aside, "Thanks to your care during my absence. ”
The Marquis of Rhine is a marquis precisely because he is politically mature enough, and can even be said to be full of wisdom, "I am just helping myself." He laughed as he spoke, this is only the second half of the expression, and smart politicians will never say the first half of the sentence, which will not only hurt feelings, but may also cause unhappiness to others.
Wren smiled frankly, he knew what the first half of the Marquis of Rhine had said, he nodded, "As long as everyone works together, there will be no difficulties that cannot be overcome, and it will only get better and better in the future." ”
After the scene was finished, and the rest should be said to be less dramatic, the Marquis of Rhine looked back at the people who were still waiting on the platform, "What should I do next?"
Wren shrugged his shoulders, "Of course it's revenge, if I shrink my head, I can only make her think that I'm scared, and she will be even more crazy and attack me more unscrupulously." Only by fighting back fiercely will she calm down. Pain can be daunting, but it can also make people reasonable. ”
Wren then shook hands with everyone who came to greet him, and had a brief but cordial conversation, which had an incalculable effect on stabilizing people's hearts.
With the return of Rennes, it also indicates that a new round of political struggle is about to begin!
Wren's return did lift some people, but it also made some people a little depressed and sad. He actually returned to the country without a sound, how he came back, no one knows, and no guess of any kind is enough for him to return to the empire in such a short time. He must have other ways, and it is even possible that he came back through the iron wall in a righteous and bright way.
Does this mean that more people have fallen to Rennes?
Empress Pars was thinking about it, Vito was thinking about it, and Bethel was thinking about it.
If there was anyone who feared the most at this time, it was Bethel. He had been beaten twice by Wren and knew Wren's methods. As the first pioneer to stand up and "reverse Rennes", there is no turning back. At this time, in addition to himself, the only person he hated most was the Empress of Pars. If it weren't for Empress Pars's repeated demagoguery and incitement to him, he would not have done such a thing.
Even if he has only been a ministerial-level gardener all his life, it is better than being scared at this time.
As the person who clearly stood on the opposite side of Wren, and dealt with Wren with Queen Pars, the person with the highest rank and the greatest official position, Bethel knew very well that he was like a bright beacon in the night. Not only has he become the target of guiding others to move forward and follow, but he has also become the most hated person in the dark.
He didn't dare to go to the Ministry of Security, and sometimes because of such a momentary negligence, there would be a fact that he could not regret. So he went to the Empress of Pars, whether it was to transfer him away, or by some other means, and he now needed an answer that would guarantee his future personal safety. After all, it was not he who caused the current situation, but the supreme ruler of the empire, Empress Pars.
Empress Pars was arguably disappointed by Bethel, as she did not accede to Bethel's request, or even give the answer he wanted.
"Rest assured, I can make sure of your safety. Empress Pars kicked the corner of her skirt with some irritation, "He won't do anything to you, you are the Count of the Empire, and even more his boss, as long as he wants to maintain the current situation, he will not dare to deal with you." ”
Bethel gritted his teeth, and the look of disappointment made Queen Pars turn her head away from him, "Your Majesty, is there really no other way?"
Empress Pars shook her head, "I could transfer you out of the Ministry of National Security, but have you thought about it, Earl Bethel?" As long as you leave the Ministry of State Security, it means that you are most directly involved in the whole thing, and only if you do not leave the Ministry of State Security can you prove that you are not on the opposite side of Ren as he imagined. What are you doing? It's nothing more than punishing a little boss who doesn't respect you, and it's not against anyone, it's just about one thing. ”
"The more calm you are, the less he can move you. But if you run away, no matter what method you use, it means that your dismissal of Nietzsche is directed against Rennes, not because of official business. When she said this, Empress Pars became more and more comfortable, "You are scared and timid, and it has also given Wren enough reasons, so you can't move for the time being." When the limelight passes, I'll ask Vito to transfer you to the War Department as Minister of Military Aircraft. ”
Bethel was disappointed, but had to admit that there was some truth in what Queen Pars said. In the face of the tough Queen Pars, and the even more aggressive Wren, he can only pinch his nose.
In fact, he didn't know that the reason why Empress Pars refused was not really out of such considerations, she just didn't want to show weakness to Wren.
That's all.
The week after Wren returned to the imperial capital barely appeared in people's sight, so much so that many people wondered if Wren was really back, or if Wren's people found someone to play Wren and pretended that Wren was back.
Just when people were shocked and didn't dare to confirm whether Wren had really returned, one thing gave everyone a positive answer.
Over the weekend, Bethel, who had spent the whole week in fear, finally got a little respite. Wren didn't deal with him, which made him feel a burst of relief that he had never felt before, but he didn't dare to relax, no one knew how Wren would fire the first shot of the counterattack.
A rare weekend allowed Bethel to get out of the restless office and take a breath. His wife has not been in contact with him lately, and even if he wanted to meet with her and find some support from her family, he refused to meet him in various ways. This made him very annoyed, a little ashamed, and thought that he must take revenge if he had a chance.
Today, he and his little lover strolled the streets after eating at a restaurant in the Silver Ring District. It was indeed very passionate when he was with his wife, but after the passion retreated, there was only a desperate deal, and the relationship between him and his wife was less like husband and wife, but more like two forces connected by the bond of the flesh. Only when he is with this little lover can he feel the warmth of home and the taste of love.
