On this day, the Fallen Angel Imperial Capital ushered in the most important guest

The Shadow Empire, which had gathered a large number of troops on the border of the Fallen Angel Empire, finally sent a new envoy to enter the Fallen Angel Empire through the Tekura Fortress after Xia Lightning ascended the throne, and arrived in the imperial capital

This time, the envoy is an acquaintance, led by the third general of the Shadow Empire, the deputy envoy is the first business family of the shadow, the new patriarch of the Custer family, Seline Kafu is an old friend of Thea, Sia had a bilateral visit when he was in the Dark Moon, and the Kast family of Serin was the first business family to enter the territory of the Dark Moon, and also established a joint chamber of commerce with several families of the Dark Moon, and the two sides have an inextricably linked close relationship, this two envoys should be a positive signal, hinting at a certain change in Catherine's attitude

Xia led the ministers in the palace hall for the first time to formally meet with Kafu, and at this time, the choice of the prime minister was not agreed, and the chancellor of the exchequer and the minister of war were still selected by the senatorial family

I saw Xia Bixia Kafu enter the main hall and bow to Sia with Seline behind her

Xia is no longer the lord she was at the beginning, but the empress who represents an empire, and in this situation of confrontation between the two countries, she did not treat the two acquaintances with her face, but just said lightly: The two envoys came from afar, and it was very hard

Cafu stood up straight, and said without humility or arrogance: This time, I came on the orders of Catherine Bixia, firstly, to congratulate Bixia on becoming the Emperor of the Fallen Angels, and secondly, to re-explore the cooperation between the two countries

Thanks to Catherine the Great, the friendly relations between the Fallen Angel and the Shadow have a long history, but Catherine Bixia has been hoarding heavy troops on the two borders of our country, which does not seem to be an act of friendship

Cafu explained: The reason for the accumulation of troops is that the situation in your country was unstable after Shia Bixia defeated Prince Obsidian in the field of Reistown, and in order to prevent civil strife, Catherine Bixia was ready to send troops to help Shia Bixia stabilize the political situation

This explanation is naturally just an excuse that Lilith used in Darkmoon in the first place

I had already succeeded in ascending the throne before Catherine Bixia came to her aid, so she could only appreciate her kindness, and I don't know how long your country's 'friendly' way of showing it will continue

Cafu knew that the so-called friendship meant the army on the border, and smiled slightly: This is related to the second purpose of my coming here, Catherine Bixia hopes to establish friendly neighbor relations with Xia Bixia again after the Obsidian Regent, renegotiate and sign a cooperation treaty between the two countries, and jointly move towards the road to prosperity

If there are no armies, this is still a normal diplomatic relationship, but there are armies hoarding on the border, and this remark will inevitably be faintly threatening, the implication is that obsidian is obsidian Shia is Sia, and the Shadow Empire can continue to live in peace with the Fallen Angel Empire, but a cooperation treaty must be signed that satisfies Catherine, otherwise those armies will never be decorations

I am very optimistic about the prospects of friendship and cooperation between the two countries, for friends, my country will join hands and hold on hand to create brilliance, and if it is an enemy with a sinister heart, even if it is a fallen angel empire with a sharp blade, it will not be afraid to face difficulties, and would rather die with the enemy than abandon faith and dignity

There were only two steps to the throne, and even if Xia stood up, it was only on par with the tall Kafu, but at this moment, Kafu was in a trance, as if he wanted to really look up to Xia, the woman who had once been on his side, and in some way had risen to the level of the empress he feared the most

Not only did many of the ministers and senators in the Cafu Hall feel strange, but even Angelette - the indomitable strength and courage that Xia showed was something that Obsidian did not possess before

Cafu quickly came back to his senses and took out a fire paint envelope: I have seen the determination of Xia Bixia, here is a letter from Empress Bixia, please Bixia take a look..., Stiller next to Xia took a few steps forward, took the envelope and handed it to Xia, in the process, Stiller has used four methods to detect and found no danger, Sia received Stiller's eyes, took the letter, opened it, looked at it for a while, his eyes suddenly became a little more fierce, and with a snort, a black flame ignited in his hand, and the letter was instantly burned

This move in front of Cafu is obviously very unfriendly, judging from Xia Ya's expression, there should be quite excessive content on the letter, no matter how Xia is the empress of the fallen angel empire after all, her humiliation is the face of the entire empire, whether it is genuine anger or pretentious gestures, almost everyone shows unkindness to Cafu and Selene, as if just waiting for an order to make the two messengers of the shadow empire ashes

That invisible pressure made Selene show a hint of fear, and Kafu still had the same expression: Bixia Mingjian, I didn't know the specific content of this letter beforehand, but I came to your country to negotiate with the sincerity of the Shadow Empire, and when I came, Catherine Bixia specially instructed that after reading the letter in Xia Bixia, I have two choices: first, return to the Shadow Empire immediately, and second, stay and continue to discuss the matters of cooperation, and now I ask Xia Bixia to give me a choice

This choice was actually given to Xia by Catherine, but Cafu's wording was very euphemistic, and it became that Xia gave him this messenger choice, if Kafu was allowed to go back immediately, it would definitely mean that the talks had collapsed, then it was likely that the Fallen Angel Empire would really prepare for a hard war, which was obviously not the original intention of the Fallen Angel Empire

Catherine Bixia's appetite is not small...... Xia Ya's purple eyes changed, she took a deep breath and slowly sat down, and said indifferently: But since the envoy is here to negotiate, then many things are uncertain before the result is determined, and it is completely okay to sit down and talk, it is not too early for General Cafu and Miss Seline to travel all the way, please go back to the Royal Hotel to rest first, and I will have a banquet to entertain friends from the Shadow Empire in the evening

When the ministers and elders on both sides heard the first sentence, they had already vaguely guessed that Catherine must have put forward a request that touched Shia's bottom line, such as ceding the Dark Moon Territory, etc., but Xia quickly regained her composure and planned to sit down and negotiate with the envoys of the Shadow Empire

Thank you Bixia for your kindness, then we were disrespectful, Cafu took Seline and bowed, and left the palace hall to rest at the Royal Hotel, accompanied by the Minister of Foreign Affairs

After the shadow envoy left, Xia spoke: Everyone, although Catherine's original intention was not to fight with us, but the strength of the Shadow Empire is above us after all, once the war is really triggered in a certain situation, then with the comparison of the strength of the two countries, the result is likely to be that she will hurt me to death, on the one hand, we must be prepared for war and prepare for the worst, on the other hand, we must be careful to negotiate with the shadows, and the matter of negotiation will be handled by Stiller and Disjak, Stebier, Angele, Redotan, Melotta is the auxiliary, the deadline for negotiations will be delayed for a while, you can try to contact those two envoys, first find out the bottom, that Catherine the Great has a great appetite, really want to sit down and negotiate peace, we will definitely suffer a loss, how big this loss is, whether we can try to rely on the route of mutual benefit between the two sides, it depends on the efforts of this time

Angelet and the others had restrained Chiado before, but negotiation was the most important thing at the moment, and it was related to the fate of the entire empire, so they didn't dare to be too slow at the moment, and they took the order and left

After the meeting, Xia came to the side hall, Chen Rui and Isabella were waiting for her there, Chen Rui's current identity is only the identity of Isabella, the deputy commander of the palace Praetorian Guard, and it is not suitable for her to appear in public, so she did not attend the meeting just now, but the two of them saw it clearly behind the main hall, especially the scene where Xia burned Catherine's letters

What exactly was written in Catherine's letter, Chen Rui is now curious about this matter, and with Yixia's calmness, he would not generally make that kind of move

Thea glanced at him: "Even you can't guess it."

Don't think too highly of me, if the opponent is Catherine, I may not be able to calculate her, Chen Rui suddenly remembered those black eyes as deep as a lake, and his heart rippled slightly, and he hadn't seen the owner of these eyes for a long time..., you don't have to be presumptuous, but Catherine is indeed a terrible opponent, Xia sighed: But that letter was deliberately burned by me, and it was very unexpected that in the letter, Catherine gave me an amazing plan, this plan......

Don't...... Exactly like what we planned, Isabella answered

More powerful than what we planned, Xia nodded slightly, and sighed lightly: She has insight into everything, including the desperate gesture I want to make, I am now subject to the situation of the patriarchal family, her plan is to use thunderous means to take the opportunity to remove obstacles at this unexpected time, as a condition, she can use the army to build momentum on the border and help me hold back, Even to settle the Baroque and others to quell the opposition at home, Shili to give me complete control of the empire, behind this plot is the hint that she can use this against me in turn, and if I don't agree to Catherine, the same will' Cooperate with the 'Di to deliberately spread this plan and make a corresponding gesture to show that when I join forces with her to eradicate the patriarchal family and other obstacles to Shili's life and death, the patriarchal family will definitely rise up to resist, then the imperial capital and even the empire will fall into civil strife, and then she will take advantage of the situation to send troops, then even if I want to drag the shadow empire to die together, it will be difficult......

Isabella and Chen Rui glanced at each other, saw the horror in each other's eyes, and finally understood that Xia Weishenme was going to feign anger and burn the letter

Chen Rui opened his mouth and asked: What are Catherine's conditions?

Xia looked at him deeply: It is even harsher than last time, it is unacceptable, and it is especially emphasized that she wants 'Chen Rui' This talent, it seems that you are much more popular than I imagined, and even the number one beauty in the demon world will never forget

With a reputation, there is no way to be the 'number one capable minister in the demon world', Chen Rui scratched his head weakly, and faintly had a bad premonition

Isabella saw Chen Rui's expression in her eyes and suddenly chuckled: Actually, there is no way

As soon as these words came out, the eyes of Xia and Chen Rui fell on her face at the same time, and Miss Intelligence Leader smiled, even through the veil, she could still feel the moving style
