Dark Moon Palace, side hall.

Neither of them spoke, and the atmosphere fell silent for a while.

"I'm not going to ask you anything, and you don't have to explain. Isabella finally broke the silence, her voice cold, "You just need to know that I can threaten you, and you must do what I say in the future." ”

Is this coercion?

Chen Rui secretly smiled bitterly and sighed: "'Soul Destroying' was done by Lola, but there should be only this one, and you didn't lay any means near the palace." ”

"Sure enough, you guessed," Isabella turned, already veiled, and threw a stone at her, "then...... What about this?"

Chen Rui took the stone and looked at it, it turned out to be a photo stone, the two of them dancing and kissing together just now were all recorded, and what made him even more jaw-dropping was that the "coercion" plots in the middle were removed, and it seemed that the two danced together, and then hugged each other and kissed.

(When, when...... ）

If this stone falls into the hands of Athena...... Chen Rui's cold sweat broke out all of a sudden, this serial plan was too ruthless, first using the suicide bombing incident, and now engaging in candid filming......

Isabella took out an identical photo stone and shook it, and there was more than one piece of affection: "I think you don't want anyone to know about this thing, right?"

Chen Rui nodded hurriedly.

"I have only one condition, that you must come to me every night after you come out of the palace. Don't talk to me about the conditions, you don't have a choice, and if you don't come, you will bear the consequences. ”

Chen Rui was in a cold sweat again, it seemed that the tryst with Xia had also been guessed by her, and he was worthy of being the secret agent of the dark demon!

Although it was a cold tone. Although it was insidious coercion, it could be clearly felt just now. Lip. It's hot. Heartbeat, very fast.

After leaving this condition, Isabella did not entangle with him again and opened the door. He walked out without looking back.

Chen Rui followed a few steps, his mouth open. In the end, he didn't say it, just turned into a sigh and watched it in the moonlight. The lonely figure grew farther and farther away.

The next day. Thea and Sikari had an official meeting in the palace chamber.

The attendees were Athena, the leader and magistrate of the Flame Legion, Chen Rui, the treasurer, and representatives of the various families of the Dark Moon. Even in such meetings, Agulie was still dressed in a cloak. Don't show your true face. As for Bai Ling's territory, Parando did not appear, most likely due to the loss of face at the ball last night.

"So...... Her Royal Highness the Eldest Princess is not planning to hold a birthday celebration?" Sikari frowned slightly, and asked, this time he came under the banner of Xia's birthday, didn't he touch a soft nail now?

"It's just a fraction of a small birthday that is less than a whole number, not enough to worry about, although the dark moon has some benefits now, but due to the comprehensive renovation and construction of the city some time ago, and the cooperation with the blood vitex flower cost a lot of money, it is currently in urgent need of raising money to pay off debts, so I don't plan to be extravagant and wasteful. I appreciate the kindness of His Excellency Sikari, and as for those valuable gifts......"

Sikari had no choice but to nod and said, "The eldest princess's frugality is admirable, but since I have already brought those gifts, how can I be embarrassed to take them back? ”

Xia thought for a moment and nodded: "Thank you so much." ”

Sikari took advantage of the situation and said: "Don't hide it from Your Highness, I came to Dark Moon this time, in addition to congratulating His Highness on his birthday, there are also some ...... Well, in difficulty, I came to Dark Moon for help, and I ask Your Highness to help you for the sake of the friendship between the two places for many years. ..., "What is the difficulty?" ”

Sikari hesitated first, and finally "mustered up the courage" to speak: "Due to the ignorance of the lords' meeting for a while, he participated in the fundraising, and the imperial capital has not been returned so far, resulting in a large deficit in the current Bai Ling, and there is a serious shortage of various expenses, and the territory is almost impossible to operate. ”

Sikari's request had long been expected by Sia, and now the Dark Moon is a rich treasure land, which territory is not blushing? If it weren't for the Dark Moon's powerful military deterrent ability, it would have used all kinds of methods to take advantage of it.

Xia Ya set her eyes on the financial officer Chen Rui, Chen Rui immediately got up and said: "As Her Royal Highness the eldest princess said just now, the financial situation of the dark moon is quite tight now, the first is the renovation and expansion of the urban area, the renovation of the sewage and water supply system, the renovation of roads, the repair and construction of various towns, etc., the second is the loss of cooperation with the Shadow Empire's Blood Thorn Territory, and the expenditure of funding including the Blue Melt Territory and the surrounding territories, etc.; the third part is the military expenditure, the expansion cost of the three major legions, military supplies, the construction of the Valan Fortress and the town of Valan, etc. These three parts of the cost are like three mountains, pressing on the head of the Dark Moon, although the construction and economy of the Dark Moon have achieved certain results, but it is still beyond the means. However, this is mainly caused by the need to spend a lot of money in the early stage of construction, and it will tend to be stable in the later stage, and now it is also the most critical moment, you can't save money, you must determine a complete framework, otherwise you will accidentally produce a butterfly effect, which will affect the long-term, some things, you can consider using the crocodile law, when the break is broken, ......"

Sikari and the people on the side of Bailing's territory can understand it, and they said a lot in the front, that is, they are crying poor, but they can't understand it in the back, and Sikari can't help but speak: "Your Excellency Chen Rui, may I ask what is the butterfly effect and what is the crocodile law?"

This question hit Chen Rui's heart, and he immediately explained: "It's just some economic terms, the butterfly effect refers to the results of economic development, which has a great dependence on the initial conditions, and a small deviation may cause a huge difference in the results." For example, there is a ballad that if you lose a nail, you break a shoe, you break a shoe, you break a horse, you break a horse, you break a horse, you lose a knight, you lose a battle, you lose a war, you lose an empire. We can see it, then, as a nail change that led to the demise of an empire......"

This wonderful remark was heard with relish by both the people in the White Feather Territory and the Dark Moon side, especially the people on the side of the White Feather Territory. The gaze that looked at Chen Rui changed, whether it was friend or foe. Capable people are always worthy of respect.

The expressions of these people fell in Chen Rui's eyes. Secretly snickering, in fact, a lot of things are bluffing people with another shijie's theory, this gushing theory lingered for a long time, zuihou went back to the topic of Sikari borrowing money: "So." According to my analysis, the Dark Moon will take at least fifteen years. In order to completely stabilize the entire income and expenditure structure and really start to make profits, for now. It is not advisable to increase the liabilities again. So. The eldest princess's decision not to hold a birthday celebration this time is very correct, the current economic structure is the most critical moment, and any decision is likely to affect the economic development situation for hundreds of years to come. Therefore, in the current situation of indebtedness, we should reluctantly provide foreign aid, which I think is quite unwise! We cannot do it for the sake of face or so-called friendship. Destroy your own painstaking design haodejihua. If there is any offense in these words, please forgive Her Royal Highness the Eldest Princess and Lord Sikari. ”...,

"Fifteen years?" Thea's brow furrowed slightly. Sighing, he said to Sikari: "Your Excellency Sikari, you have also heard Chen Rui's analysis, what do you think?"

Sikari was a little dumbfounded for a while, Chen Rui's long economic treatise is really wonderful, quoting classics, incisive analysis, convincing, worthy of being the first internal affairs talent in the demon world, many professional words are unheard of at all, where can he find any loopholes?

Faced with the ball kicked back by Sia, Sikari wanted to kick it back again, but he couldn't get up and was speechless for a while.

Xia sincerely admired Chen Rui's wisdom, and with a straightforward analysis, he put an end to the other party's intention of "borrowing money", and added: "In this way, I personally give some material support to Bailing's territory, which is not much, and please don't dislike Your Excellency Sikari." ”

This sentence completely blocked the possibility of Sikari borrowing money, and Dark Moon was obviously crying poor and unwilling to borrow money, but he could only express his gratitude, which can be described as swallowing his teeth in his stomach.

Sikari thought for a moment, and said, "Since the Dark Moon has the difficulties of the Dark Moon, and I don't want to embarrass His Highness Xia, then let's make another request." The territory of Bailing has a large area of barren soil that cannot be cultivated, and the people live on only a small amount of land that can be cultivated. It is said that Darkmoon has obtained the secret method of soil transformation in the treasures of the Blue Pool Mountains, and it has been very effective, and has helped the Bloodthorn Territory of the sister city of the Shadow Empire successfully improve a large area of barren land. I have the cheekiness to implore His Highness to send someone to transform the land of Bailing so that the people can live a life of food and clothing. ”

Sikari deliberately mentioned the cooperation between Dark Moon and Blood Thorn, intending to imply that Sia that since even a foreign territory like Blood Thorn could help, then he should help the White Feather Territory, which also belonged to the Fallen Angel Empire, and the two territories had always had a "good" friendship before.

Xia nodded slightly: "Please continue." ”

Sikari saw that there seemed to be a way, and secretly rejoiced in his heart, and then said: "The development of Dark Moon to this day, His Excellency Chen Rui, the financial officer, is recognized as a key person, and his internal affairs ability can be called the crown of the Demon Realm. I would like to hire His Excellency Chen Rui to serve as an economic advisor in Bai Ling's territory for a period of time to help Bai Ling solve some important problems. ”

Xia learned from Chen Rui's report about Palando's coercion and seduction at the ball last night before the start of today's meeting, and today Sikari personally proposed an "invitation", it seems that one of the real purposes of this trip to Dark Moon is to poach this human financial official.

Once Chen Rui goes, it is likely that he will never return, and even if he doesn't go, he may still assassinate like Isabella did when she used the evil Gu, but the current Dark Moon is no longer the original Dark Moon, and the current human beings are no longer the original human beings, Chen Rui's own strength alone is enough to destroy the group of people in Sikari.

Xia sneered secretly, with a thoughtful look on her face.
