Chapter 330: Conditions
Chen Rui looked at the graceful figure in the distance and sighed: "This woman is not simple. β
"Of course it's not simple," Zhuo Che said: "In the past few days, the details of the Chiyun Territory have been almost clearly touched by her, and I originally wanted to cover up this matter, but she just cited a few detailed numbers, so I had nothing to say." When it comes to liliang, this woman is slightly inferior to me, but when it comes to scheming, I'm afraid that there are few people in the entire empire who can match her, especially the cruel and vicious means, and the flower of the mandala can be described as worthy of its name. β
"I brought the first phase of the rebate this time, and our cooperation has already had a good start, but unfortunately Jihua can't catch up with the changes," Chen Rui nodded sympathetically: "Lord Lord, you should understand that this matter ...... I don't have much of a choice,"
"I understand, actually...... Neither do I," said Zhuo Che, "Your Excellency Charles is resolute and honest, and although the contact and cooperation have not been long, he has left a very good impression on me, and I will vouch for you before the Lord Regent, and I hope that you will be able to properly remember the old friends of the Red Realm in your future Jihua." β
Once the Prince of Obsidian truly approves of this jihua, then he will definitely swallow the biggest piece of profit, and most of the endless wealth will flow into Obsidian's pocket, leaving only a few leftovers for the Chiyu Territory - as Isabella said, the terms of cooperation that a territory can provide are certainly not comparable to that of an empire.
"Don't worry, I'll definitely consider it. Don't forget, we also have a corresponding equal contract, in addition to the rebates brought today, those promised in advance, I can guarantee that there will be a lot of them in front of adults. As for my brother...... He will be left to Lord Zhuo Che to take care of, he is currently only one step away from the holy level, and I hope that the Lord can give him some enlightenment appropriately. If Samuel can really break through to the holy level, then as a thanks. I'll list additional items to work with the adults individually,"
Zhuo Che's eyes lit up. Nodding. Chen Rui smiled secretly in his heart, with this "promise", he was not afraid that Zhuo Che would not offer Samuel as a bodhisattva, and it would also be an important opportunity for Samuel himself to reach the holy level.
Chen Rui's heart moved, and he added: "I don't know weishenme, I have a hunch, this trip to the emperor will not be easy, I don't know if the lord has any suggestions?"
Zhuo Che really didn't hide it. The situation in the imperial capital was introduced, and the imperial capital had a large number of long-established families, and shili was deeply rooted. Even if it is the regent Obsidian, he has to be a little scrupulous. Prince Obsidian has two major cronies, one is Isabella. In charge of finances, one is named Rommel, the current Minister of War. The military of the Demon Empire is a traditional three-general formation, the first general, George Wells, who is now stationed in the northeast of the Walloch Fortress. The second general, Doren Ruth, commanded the Praetorian Guard and the most elite Red Legion, and the third general, Geraint Bryan, garrisoned the Northwest Tekula Fortress.
Chen Rui had met Sergei, the son of Duolun, and had a covetous heart for Athena. Chen Rui designed a cannibalistic confrontation with Allen, the son of Legu Caron, the Minister of Finance of the Imperial Capital, which made General Duolun and Legu enemies, and Sergei was relieved of his official position in the Red Demon Legion. and left the Imperial Capital and went to Tekura Fortress to follow the border guards of Geraint. It is equivalent to a kind of distribution, which is mainly to appease the anger of the Caron family.
In addition, there are two court guests with unfathomable strength, one is called Chlobe Ruth, and the other is the same as "Charles", who is also human, called Nero.
Little is known about these two people, even if they are Zhuo Che, but there is one point that Zhuo Che emphasized: in order for this Jihua to get the approval and permission of Prince Obsidian, the most important thing is to pass through Isabella, who controls the finances of the empire.
Chen Rui frowned, this woman's mind is still above Sabrina, judging from the attitude she showed before, this matter must not be easy.
Zhuo Che even vaguely said that although this imperial capital poisonous flower has a wide range of contacts, it is said that no man has really conquered her so far, and if "Charles" can work hard in this regard, he may be able to receive miraculous results.
Chen Rui smiled bitterly and shook his head, he didn't have this ability, and Isabella was probably still from Azgalo's gang. Judging from her strength alone, she has a Demon Emperor-level Liliang, and the God Devouring Mask is not suitable for use, so it seems that she can only find another way. ...,
The next day, Chen Rui followed Isabella into a carriage bound for the imperial capital.
Along the way, Isabella didn't ask Chen Rui about Jihua or the Camprot family, and didn't even mention this aspect, just asked about some irrelevant things such as human Shijie regional customs.
Chen Rui knew that the more anxious he was at this time, the easier it was to show his feet, so he settled down and dealt with it carefully. The fragment of human shijie in his memory is very vague, but before implementing the whole jihua, Chen Rui had spent a few days listening to Samuel in detail about the things he knew about human shijie, and it can be said that now 80% of his knowledge of Shijie on the ground comes from Samuel, and the remaining 20% is the original "Arthur".
Isabella gracefully took a sip of red fruit wine and asked, "Has Lord Charles ever been to the sacred mountain of the Temple of Light?"
This carriage is somewhat similar to Christina's last time, it is a space prop, but there is only one room in it, the facilities are quite complete, and there is no bump in the slightest.
"The sacred mountain of the Temple of Light is the highest place of human faith, and only the priests of the temple or the authorized pilgrims and devout people are allowed to enter. Chen Rui smiled self-deprecatingly: "I'm just a vulgar businessman, and I don't have the qualifications to be blessed by the divine." β
"So, what if I want a Sherdaree flower from the Holy Mountain of Light?"
"Shedarai?Sacred Flower?" Chen Rui frowned, when Samuel introduced the Temple of Light, he had mentioned that the Xuedalai Flower of the Holy Mountain of Light had magical power of light and was known as the Divine Flower.
I don't know where Isabella heard this name, the key is that Chen Rui's "return to human shijie" is purely a scam, if Isabella really wants this flower, she will definitely not be able to give it to her, and immediately frowned and said nothing.
Isabella saw Chen Rui's embarrassment and smiled slightly: "If you can't even do this request, then should I doubt your family's true strength in human shijie?"
"If it's usual, take the Liliang of the Kamplotte family. This is a difficult requirement, but it is not impossible. Chen Rui was anxious: "It's just that the current situation is special, and we are cooperating with the Demon Realm again." It must not be brought to the attention of the Temple. I don't like to talk about things that can't be done, but I can promise Miss that when the conditions permit in the future, I will definitely bring the most beautiful sacred flower to offer to Miss. β
"In the future? then not now? But I still feel quite comfortable in my heart, it seems that Your Excellency does have a way of dealing with women, and I believe that there should be many women who are attracted by your charm. Isabella leaned a little lazily on the sofa behind her, the two plump balls on her chest slightly changed their arc with this movement, and the ends of the black stockings faintly revealed snow-white thighs. Any action is full of temptation.
"I'm ashamed to say that until now, I only have two wives and one fiancΓ©e. Chen Rui shook his head, "As the heir of the family, my energy needs to be focused on more important matters. β
"I like men who know how to be self-disciplined. Isabella smiled seductively, "I will remember this 'future' promise of yours, and when the time comes, I will also give you an unforgettable gift." β
"Miss Isabella," Chen Rui hesitated. He said: "I believe you have learned from Lord Zhuo Che about the predicament faced by my family and my turnaround, Lord Zhuo Che has hinted to me that Miss is the key to my approval of His Royal Highness the Lord Regent, and I now sincerely ask Miss to help me." After all, the current situation is still not optimistic, and there is not much time left for me. β
Isabella is not a fuel-efficient lamp. In Charles's case, if too careless. On the contrary, it will arouse suspicion, so Chen Rui directly said the request.
"Lord Zhuo Che thinks too highly of me, I am just a liliang widow. Isabella sighed, "And, don't you think, Lord Charles, that things that are too easy to get hold of make people feel unreal, as if they were ...... Your Excellency's Jihua is the same?"
This seemingly unintentional sentence made Chen Rui's heart skip a beat, but he still remained calm on the surface, and said lightly: "So, I have to pay a considerable price to make Miss feel more real?"
Or it could be called a sense of fulfillment. Isabella's charming blue eyes are full of autumn waves, "For a woman who is empty all day long, this feeling is too precious. These words are full of provocative hints, and if it were a different man, it would probably immediately throw her to the ground, fill the emptiness of this woman, and let her taste what it means to be full and full.
Chen Rui knew the details of this woman, and he didn't have any thoughts at all, but his eyes were cold: "What are your conditions?"
"Straight to the point now?" Isabella chuckled, "People still think you're going to do foreplay, shouldn't men with flirts be a little more patient with women?"
Chen Rui shook his head: "It is undeniable that Miss's charm makes me almost uncontrollable. However, responsibility is more important to me than to fun. β
"His Excellency Charles is indeed an admirable man," Isabella said with a smile, "but it is a pity that men are usually only responsible for themselves...... As for women, they should be the objects of your irresponsibility. Isn't it?"
Although Isabella smiled coquettishly, Chen Rui clearly saw the passing ridicule and was silent.
Seeing that he was silent, Isabella did not continue to go in circles, and said the condition: "Okay...... Since His Excellency Charles is a rather responsible man, then, go to a place and help me bring back someone. β
"What is the name and characteristics of that person?" Chen Rui did not refuse or bargain, showing a very cheerful look.
Isabella was pleased with his attitude: "The location is in the underground ruins of Trivante, and we will pass by there shortly. Don't ask the name of that person, as for the characteristics...... It's just annoying, very annoying...... Whatever that guy has become, bring it to me, even if it's a corpse. β
Chen Rui has been in the Demon Realm for a while, and he has not heard of the underground ruins of Cui Fante, so he asked confirmatively: "Go to the underground ruins of Cui Fante and bring back a nasty guy, whether he lives or dies?"
"That's right, there should be only one person in the entire underground ruins, even the corpses should be fresh, you don't have to worry about finding the wrong person. In fact, this guy offended me some time ago and was tricked by me into getting there. Now I suddenly want to see if he's dead or if he's gone crazy, or if he's going to play with him in a new way. Isabella's tone was flat, as if it were just a very trivial matter.
Chen Rui showed a sudden expression: "Is Miss hinting to me that if I offend you, I will suffer a terrible end?"
"Your Excellency has too many hearts, but ...... Women are very vindictive, but they can't be easily offended. Isabella gracefully pulled a strand of curly hair from her forehead behind her ear and smiled: "However, if His Excellency Charles does this, then not only will it not be someone Isabella hates, but ...... People might just like you......"
Chen Rui heard the sound of the strings, if she can't do it, then she will become the person she hates, this woman has an extraordinary mind, and she is ruthless and vicious, now is the critical moment for Jihua, and she must not be allowed to spoil the big thing.
"I will do my best to gain the favor of the young lady...... and helpful. β
Isabella nodded with a smile, went out and ordered the coachman a few words before returning to the space, saying, "That ruin is a little dangerous, but for a strong man like His Excellency Charles, it is definitely not a problem. According to the current itinerary, there may be half a day to go, and the coachman Jadel will take you there. I'm waiting for your good news in the small town of Rhodes in front, according to the requirements of His Royal Highness the Regent, I only have three days to spare, and I believe that Your Excellency's Jihua will not allow too much delay, right?"
The "little bit" danger in Isabella's mouth is definitely different, and the underground ruins of Trivante should be a very dangerous place, and it is only three days, but this trip is afraid that it is necessary to go.
"By the way, I'll kill Jadel in a moment, and I've been hating his obsessive eyes lately. Isabella added lightly.
"I'm at your service, beautiful young lady. Chen Rui smiled slightly, but there was a chilling feeling in his heart, the coachman was more or less a neighbor around him, this woman said to kill, and it was really a poisonous flower that could not be touched.
"Well, Charles, I wish you a speedy success. Isabella raised her glass with a smirk, "Please forgive me for removing that polite salutation." β
"It's my pleasure...... Isabella. Chen Rui also picked up the cup, and the two clinked glasses, although they each had ghosts, they showed a tacit smile at the same time.
