On the way out of Ziyuan Palace, Chen Rui fell into deep thought.

Veronica asked him to leave the Longhuang Empire because the return of "Arthur", the prince, would cause some kind of hindrance, so that "Arthur" would be in danger?

Previously, when Chen Rui unreservedly said to Veronica the true meaning of 'Arthur', with the sense of the pinnacle of his kingdom, he keenly captured a trace of subtle emotional fluctuations in it.

Is that...... Fear.

Veronica was scared.

Veronica, a country-level Veronica, is afraid of Arthur, who is not even at the Demon King level on the surface?

It should not be about strength, but about heart.

Her heart, as if frozen in ice, was so cold that it could cut it off from all, but it was afraid of the sincerity that could melt the cold, a state that was somewhat similar to that of Isabella back then.

This fluctuation was fleeting, and soon returned to silence. Chen Rui will definitely not give up like this, whether it is to find out the truth or for the fulfillment of his state of mind, he will approach that frozen heart again.

No matter what the truth is, Chen Rui will do everything to try to "save" her, for which he has made all kinds of psychological preparations, even including giving her zuihou relief.

"His Royal Highness Arthur!" The voice of the guard at the gate of Ziyuan Palace interrupted Chen Rui's thoughts, "Bixia has a life, please go to the side hall to discuss matters." ”

Chen Rui nodded and walked towards the side hall of the palace.

When I was in the corridor, two people happened to walk over on the opposite side, one of whom was the second prince Garfield.

Garfield was still talking and laughing with the man next to him before, and when he saw Chen Rui, his face suddenly turned cold.

"Second Emperor Brother. Chen Rui greeted him with a smile on his face.

"Brother Arthur. Garfield forced a smile. "You've been in the limelight lately, and the entire empire is talking about Yellow Dragon Wine. ”

"This is thanks to the Second Emperor Brother for taking care of the Jinyao Territory for so many years. Especially when leaving, it took a lot of pains. ”

This is an obvious rhetoric. Garfield couldn't help but snort coldly, the yin hand he left behind when he handed over the Jin Yao Territory instead set off Arthur's extraordinary talent, the current development trend of the Jin Yao Territory far exceeded the extent of his seven years of operation, which was superior and which was inferior, it could be seen at a glance.

The atmosphere froze for a while, and then the purple-haired man with a handsome appearance and extraordinary bearing on the side spoke in time: "Proio Kurvich has seen the Third Highness. ”

This name made Chen Rui raise his eyebrows, Proio was the eldest son of the head of the Military Affairs Academy, Chamoschi, and the deputy commander of the Dragon Scale Legion. An upstart in the imperial military, he is also the fiancé of Princess Fei'er, the sister of Arthur's mother.

Fei'er's impression of Chen Rui is very good, especially that special sense of intimacy, Jinyao's territory is adjacent to the imperial capital, but Jinyao's city is at least a day's journey from Yerodisha to Yerodishu, and in just two months, Fei'er has come to Jinyao's territory no less than ten times, and even when the territory is the most "difficult", the princess also took out her own private money to help her brother.

"It turns out General Proyo. I heard that you just returned from Winter Rin Fortress? Chen Rui nodded to Proyo: "It's a pity that I'm going to see Bixia now, and we will get together again next time we have a chance." ”

Proyohaha smiled: "I have heard of the reputation of Huanglong Wine all the way back to the imperial capital from the Winter Rin Fortress, since the Third Highness has spoken. I have to go to Jinyao's territory to have a drink, and I hope His Highness will not be stingy at that time. ”

"Welcome. Chen Rui's gaze glanced at Garfield, "As for some people. Don't humiliate yourself. ”

After saying that, he didn't even look at Garfield, who was pale. Straight ahead.

In the side hall, Chen Rui met Emperor Rex.

"You just went to the Aster Palace?"

"Yes. ”

"You seem to have been a little diligent lately, and you have nothing to do in your territory?"

"It's okay. Chen Rui nodded. "Now the development of the territory is very good, so I don't have to worry about it for the time being. ”

"Are you showing off?"

"Yes. Chen Rui's answer was a little surprising: "If you don't even have the capital to show off, you don't deserve to stand in front of Bixia." ”

Rex the Great's eyes narrowed slightly: "I don't know whether to appreciate or hate your kind of confidence, but excessive confidence is pride, and your achievements are insignificant." In other words, it's far from the time to be proud. ”

"I know. Chen Rui smiled faintly, "These are indeed insignificant, or just a warm-up, I believe that the real show will be staged soon." ”

In all fairness, the "achievements" of the rapid pacification and development of the Huanglong Wine, the auction, and the Jinyao Territory cannot be achieved even by Emperor Rex himself or any talent in the Empire, and these are just warm-ups?

Rex the Great's eyebrows raised, after seven years, this son has really changed completely, whether it is words or actions, it is very unexpected, almost ...... Out of control.

As a father, there is a little relief in my heart, but for the Longhuang Emperor, who is used to controlling everything, it is more than a relief.

"Very well, I'm looking forward to your really good show. Emperor Rex nodded, and his tone changed, "I called you here today for another matter, I wanted to send someone to the territory to inform you that you happened to come to the palace, so I will tell you in person." The news of your return has spread throughout the human race, including our greatest friend, the Blue Empire. Your marriage to Princess Lambis has dragged on for seven years, and it is time to draw a successful end. The last time you disappeared before the engagement ceremony, according to royal etiquette, this ceremony must be completed first. Therefore, before the twentieth of next month, you have to rush to the Blue Yao Empire to hold an engagement ceremony with Princess Lambis, and then welcome Princess Lambis back to the Empire to complete the marriage. ”

"Go to the Blue Yao Empire to get engaged, and then return to China to get married?" Chen Rui was shocked and deliberately asked, "Can I refuse?"

Rex the Great glanced at him, "What do you say?"

"I have one condition. ”

Emperor Rex snorted coldly, "You are not qualified to negotiate conditions now. ”

"I have. Chen Rui's words carried an undoubted firmness, although the strength he showed so far was only "scholar level", and the strength of Emperor Rex was the peak of the saint level. But as soon as these two words came out, even the emperor's heart couldn't help but tremble.

Rex the Great took a deep breath. No longer dwelling on the question of qualifications: "Veronica?"

Chen Rui's mind turned for a moment, and he asked rhetorically, "No?" Can anyone be a bargaining chip?"

A strange glint flashed in Rex the Great's eyes, and he shook his head with great certainty: "Your trading qualifications are not enough, my son. ”

Son, not the prince, Chen Rui showed a strange look: "It's really surprising, my Bixia, in my mind, she is just a pitiful victim, she has no much value, and she can realize this deal due to sudden death due to illness, disappearance, etc." However, judging from Bixia's resoluteness, it seems. Rather put the Dragoon Legion ...... No, even if the robes of light were given to me, I wouldn't want Veronica to go with me?"

The real focus of these words is not Veronica, but the robe of light used as a "metaphor".

Emperor Rex didn't have too many suspicions, but just sneered: "No matter which one it is, your qualifications are far from enough...... However, if you're really interested in the Legion, I can consider putting you in a stronghold for a while. ”

"It's just a metaphor. My hobby is internal affairs, and the military is not interested for the time being," Chen Rui spread his hands to show no love, "I'd better go back to the territory first." Today is the 3rd, and the 20th of next month...... It's only been a month and a half, and I need to think about something seriously. ”

"It's not some kind of clumsy escape or clumsy jihua pretending to be sick. ”

"How could it be? Bixia underestimated me too much. Chen Rui shrugged, "But let's be honest." This marriage came so quickly that I was not mentally prepared at all. Can you ......?"

Emperor Rex immediately interrupted: "No! The Longhuang Empire and the Lanyao Empire have been preparing for seven years! As for you, you don't need to prepare anything at all now, and don't think about delaying, it's impossible for a day!"

"What if I want to accumulate some tradable chips before then?"

"Your intellect and concentration seem to have been foolishly deflected. Emperor Rex said coldly: "I don't care what plans or transactions you have, you have to go to the Blue Yao Empire this time." I'll send Proio and the elite of the Dragonscale Legion to escort you there, and there must be no surprises!

"Well, Bixia, if it's your order. Chen Rui sighed and agreed.

He didn't have any special resistance to going to the Lan Yao Empire to participate in the engagement ceremony, because the Lan Yao Empire's Zhenguo Holy Relic was his goal, and Her Excellency Princess Mingzhu, who had great ambitions, could be regarded as an old "friend" who had met several times, and I believe that there would be a common "topic" at that time. Elven Grandmaster Fei Noa invited him to go to the Emerald Forest Sea last time, saying that he had something to give, and this time he could stop by the way.

"You must cheer up this trip to the Lanyao Empire! You represent the face of the entire Longhuang Empire, and it can be seen that your court etiquette has almost forgotten, and I will send someone to teach you. As for the gift of engagement...... As a Weapon Maker Grandmaster, I believe you don't need to worry about me, the Emperor, now you can go back to the territory, go back directly!"

Chen Rui bowed, his brows furrowed a little.

As a bargaining chip, Veronica seems to have been put in a very high position by Rex the Great, specifically targeting him, Arthur?

The most troublesome thing is that although the wedding time with Lamis was expected, it came too quickly.

At this time, there was still a month and a half before the engagement time of the Lan Yao Empire, and if he walked directly through the teleportation array, it would take at least half a month on the road, so he had less than a month of time left on hand.

Chen Rui's original jihua was to promote rice wine first, and then the trend of rice wine promoted magic games and ancillary products magic phones, and gradually expanded to the entire human shijie. After completion, use it as a bargaining chip to have a showdown with Rex the Great, get the Holy Light Robe of the Longhuang Empire, and at the same time deal with Veronica's affairs, and then go to the Blue Yao Empire to get the Holy Grail, Zuihou's destination, which is the most difficult mission location - the Bright Holy Mountain.

It is very likely that you will encounter a fierce battle in the Holy Mountain or even face a strong enemy like Michael again, but at that time, there is no need to worry, just take Tiffany away, and by the way, feel the origin of creation, even if it is exposed, it doesn't matter. Therefore, all the transactions must be taken care of in advance.

Now that the wedding is about to be held so soon, it is equivalent to completely disrupting his jihua, the promotion of magic games is no better than rice wine, and it is necessary to build a "base station" piece by piece, with the current influence of Jin Yao's territory and "Arthur", if you want to quickly popularize shijie in all mankind, a month is not enough.
