"This is Cohen. One of the mysteries on Al Qaeda. It's okay for a person to play hooligan tricks to deceive the common people, but if everyone from ordinary soldiers to aristocratic officials, and even the Temple of Light has no objection to him being the emperor, then he must be the number one hooligan in the world. The Duke shook his head: "And in fact, the Temple of Light can't tolerate a rogue, so he's not a hooligan." ”

"Then he ......," said Miss Xenia this time, "are all the bad things he does false?"

"What's bad?

"He's murderous, he's a woman, he's bad......" Xania wrenched her fingers with disdain: "It's too much." ”

"This is the propaganda of the Demon Temple, and since it is propaganda, it is inevitable that there will be an element of exaggeration. It would be very dangerous if we also took this person for a rude and reckless man. "I have studied a number of information about this man, and from the time he entered the Royal Academy of Sbia to the eve of his accession to the throne, I was more and more surprised by what he came out. ”

"Do you have any results from your research?" said Miss Xenia, tilting her head, curious.

"He is a very smart person, he doesn't like to detour in dealing with things, and his political skills have become more and more proficient in recent years. The so-called hooligans are nothing more than a layer of fog that he uses to cover himself. The Duke said lightly, "There's a very interesting thing, Cohen. Kaida was a good baby as a child, smart and kind, except that he didn't like to read, he was almost a perfect person. ”

"Wouldn't it?" Miss Xianya sighed, tears flashing in the corners of her eyes: "Hundreds of thousands of demon coalition forces won't be defeated by a good baby, right?!" Our soldiers are so miserable, none of them survived. Even the captives had their hands and feet cut off. I've got several of my friends who died......"

"It was war. If it's Cohen. Al Qaeda's defeat may end even more tragically. That war was a wake-up call for the Demon Alliance, and we were too burned. Sveis looked at the weeping Xenia with gentle eyes: "The dead are a thing of the past, don't be too sad." By the way, it wasn't that no one survived that war. ”

"Anyone is alive?" Miss Ellie asked suspiciously, "but the Demon Temple says ......"

"I've already said it, that's propaganda. The Duke shook his head: "Cohen." Keida just did his part, and from that point of view, he's a very good guy. ”

"This is the first time the Duke has praised a man! and an enemy. ”

"Although it is an adversary. But I have to admit Cohen. Al Qaeda's excellence helps me recognize him and defeat him. The Duke smiled slightly, revealing a pride from the bottom of his heart: "Yes, we lost once, but we are not cowardly enough to judge a person fairly." ”

"Let's change the subject. Seeing that the atmosphere was not too good, Miss Ellie smiled and asked, "Xenia, who did you meet just now?"

"Ahh Miss Xania rarely understood the matter, and tried her best to cooperate with Ellie: "He said that he went to the Trafa Empire with the Vampire Mentor. It's like something big is about to happen. ”

"Big deal?" Svis frowned, "There shouldn't be anything big going on in the Trafa Empire in the near future. ”

"It's supposed to be a vampire thing, but that little bastard won't reveal his secret, no matter how much I threaten. Miss Xenia snorted coldly, "How about we go over and have a look?"

"No, I can't. I'm responsible for your safety. Duke Sveys said firmly, "I won't allow it." ”

"If you don't go, you won't go!" Xenia looked away, "Why are you so fierce." "The Divine Alliance, the Spya Empire, the Holy Capital.

Grab a glass of wine, Severik. Lando walked to the door, the atmosphere in the room was so dreary that he had to get out of the complicated environment, or he would go crazy. When he came to the hallway, and saw that there was no one around, he put away his usual slick and wandering expression, and fell into a contemplation that was not in keeping with his age.

In fact, Severik. Lando was a clever man, with a skill and intelligence that a nobleman of his age could not possess. All along, he played the role of a prodigal nobleman, and anyone who was fooled by the clumsy illusion he played would end up as worrying as the messengers in the room.

But to play such a role well, it is very hard.

He is the cousin of the current crown prince of the Porta Empire, and one of the few men in this generation of royal relatives, and the current situation of the family determines the fate of him and the prince tied to a rope...... It was not easy to survive at the center of the imperial power struggle, and if the crown prince became emperor, he would be safe and prosperous, and if the crown prince had a short life, he would not have lived long.

Under such a political struggle, the only advantage he has with the prince is that he has the status of a prince, and nothing else. Just like this time, the emperor handed over the affairs of Sibia to the crown prince, and although the prince had many courtiers, none of them could do it, and in the end he had to let him go—if it were not for his habit of pretending to be crazy and stupid, drinking with beggars and gambling with hooligans, those hostile ministers would not have been relieved to let him come.

The predicamented crown prince expected him to make enough meritorious deeds in exchange for the emperor's attention to him. It was under such tremendous pressure that Severik. Lando put Cohen. The fact that Al Kaida disappeared for no reason shook out...... At present, it seems that there is no one around him who can help him, and he has to sing the whole play alone.

After the news was revealed, the envoys of various countries had been busy for several days, and by the time of today's dinner party, a total of five imperial envoys had not been to the hall. They all gathered in Sévik. In the room behind Lando, the next step was secretly arranged. Because some of the envoys believed that they were deeply gracious, had always been stubborn, and had been eye-to-eye with Sibia for some time, they were excluded by them.

As for the other guy who just arrived...... His empire has a small fortune, and he is still a substitute softie, so he doesn't want to call it.

Cohen. Kaida suddenly took all his important generals out, which was obviously not a trivial matter. But apart from knowing the general whereabouts of His Majesty Cohen, the envoys did not have any more information to deduce. Fortunately, the Omatu envoy found out that there was no large-scale movement of the Sibia army this afternoon, which made everyone breathe a sigh of relief.

As soon as the threat of war dissipated. A question arose in everyone's minds. Cohen. What the hell is Al Qaida doing? Everyone knows that this scoundrel is a man who is eager for quick success. It must be very important to let him pay attention to the things that he is paying attention to in his busy schedule, and there must be something strange in this matter that is covered up so tightly.

"This matter is not trivial! It is likely to be in everyone's interests, and I think it should be investigated. "Through the window, Severik. Lando heard a certain envoy speaking in a low but strong tone: "After finding out, it is not one country that benefits, but the result is good for all countries!"

Of course it's good for you fools. It just depends on who gets the most benefits in the end...... Thinking like this, he took a deep breath, Severik. Lando recovered from his fatigue and re-entered the room.

Under the flickering magical lights, the solemn expressions on the faces of the envoys were clearly visible. They're thinking about a very serious question -- should they go all the way down or should they just stop there? and they're arguing incessantly.

"But if you want to track it down, it's going to be very difficult to operate. A young messenger facing the door was speaking, and the righteousness on his face was awe-inspiring to Severik. Lando saw it clearly: "Ordinary methods can't dig up valuable clues, and this net must be spread wide, which is not something that one or two empires can do." ”

Severik. Lando couldn't help but sigh in his heart: because the little princess was recognized by Cohen as a sister, the Riva Empire had always maintained a good relationship with Spia. But now that he compared, the messenger decided to give up the small and keep the big. In the face of "national interests," those things only deserve to be used as a stepping stone.

"Now that everyone is in the same boat, it's better to join forces. "Severik. The messenger on Lando's left stared at everyone: "My opinion is to divide this task and each person to take care of it, and do his best to make an inventory. Heavy bribes, big waves, I don't believe that the officials in Sibia are so clean. ”

Severik. Lando looked at the speaker with a smile on his face, looking in agreement, but he was secretly laughing in his heart: Do you think that you can do anything if you have money in this world? It seems that your fat is not only on your neck and waist, but also in your brain......

"I'm okay with that! I'll tell my men to cooperate fully. "I think so, but Severik. Lando couldn't show such an attitude. He still looked stupid, and pushed the others with seemingly idiotic words: "But if you find out any information first, you have to sue me, don't forget it!"

"Don't worry, we can sign a contract first, and all the information we swear can be shared with other countries. A messenger with a face full of "sincerity" promised to Sevik. Lando patted his chest and promised: "But this time the matter is very huge, and the cost can be shared equally by all parties." ”

Sneered in his heart, Severik. Lando didn't take this guy's words seriously. The other party's empire is rich, and the nobles are even more afraid of things, and they have to pull others to do everything together. Even if this is a matter that can hit the prestige of the Tanxi Empire, this prince-level envoy is still a good idea to put others in front. When will these noble bales wake up to the fact that the world has changed, and that it is no longer a time when they can achieve their goals by waving gold coins and sneering......

"Yes!" Severik. Lando nodded solemnly: "Every time I spend a copper plate, I will ask the other party to make a receipt." ”

"Your Excellency Severik, now is not the time to laugh!" Another voice that replied sounded a little indignant: "It's a matter of the overall situation, what is the small amount of bribe to the other party? It should be worth the money!"

Seeing that his speech had an effect, Severk. Lando's heart finally let go of half of it. As a mastermind behind the scenes, he is not afraid of anything now, just afraid that these people will not act...... The other party's anger is tantamount to suing him: Lao Tzu can't wait!

"Of course it's nothing to Your Excellency, but I've always been called a loser, how can I explain when I return home with too much money?" For this not very honest neighbor, as a powerful envoy of the Porta Empire, Sevik. Lando can no longer be treated with a general attitude. He shrugged his shoulders and didn't pay attention to the other party at all: "Although I'm just an official with a big bean at the moment, there are still many people in this position, you are generous, will you ensure that I am on the rise?"

"Alright, everybody, listen to me. The guy who thought he was the one in charge raised his hand. A compromise was made for the different opinions: "Generally, the costs are borne by each party. We will discuss the large expenses. After all, no one came out with a treasury, and they were on someone else's territory, and if a certain country spent too much, it was easy to arouse the suspicion of the Sibia Empire, and they were not stupid. ”

These words came quite timely, Severk. Lando almost wanted to jump up and cheer! He nodded in agreement, no one else could object, and the messenger beside him asked another question: "What if things need to join those two empires? Will they join?"

"It depends!" replied to the guy who thought he was in charge, "even if you need to join." They can only be regarded as peripherals, and the big ideas are still up to us. ”

Severik. Lan Du breathed a sigh of relief, and from this moment on, the smile on his face could be regarded as sincere: Bansai envoy! You are really a good baby, shouting that you want to be the principal, and this young master will let you be in the limelight, so that this young master does not have to stand in a dangerous position. I have a share of the credit for the success of things, and I can get rid of the responsibility for the failure of things...... What a situation that couldn't have been better!

After unanimous support, the principals began to organize their tasks. Because the intelligence channels are different from country to country. In order to gain something, the envoys made the most flexible scheduling - a certain country has an inside line in this institution. It is the people of a certain country who guard the back door of a certain institution, and in the end they are all connected by invisible threads. When things were arranged and all the envoys thought about the plan again, they found that the current pattern was that the intelligence channels of various countries were interconnected, and it was already a small confluence within the alliance...... In order to obtain information, their capital is not small.

"That's all for now, let's go our separate ways and stay in touch at all times. The Bansai envoy made a final speech: "If there is an important breakthrough, we must notify others in time, and everyone can discuss it." ”

The messengers nodded in agreement, then went back to the room to change their clothes and set off separately, leaving only the Gallo envoy in a daze in the post house.

And our other messenger, Karl. Prince Ulysses, he's been very quiet these days. The day after the envoys began to be busy, His Excellency found an excuse to leave the inn and no longer be with the people. As for the excuses...... Anyway, there is one less messenger in the post house, and there is one more merry guest in the Holy Capital Fengyue Resort.

At this time, His Royal Highness the Prince is holding a paintbrush, painting in a red card boudoir, painting the pleasant scenery in the garden, accompanied by beautiful women on the side of several cases, and the prince himself is dressed in casual clothes, looking very uncomfortable.

"Your Royal Highness. Outside the door, the adjutant's voice sounded softly: "The lower official has something to report." ”

The prince looked intently at a gorgeous flower, and with only a gesture, the beautiful man beside him went over and opened the door.

"Back to the Prince. The adjutant glanced at the people in the room, and saw that the beautiful woman had no intention of leaving, and the prince did not say anything, so he had to speak more secretly: "They have a new action." ”

The prince carefully sketched the petals of the pen, and responded lightly: "Say." ”

"The envoys of the countries reached an agreement and decided to unite all forces in order to obtain intelligence. For this reason, the envoys all came up with their own intelligence channels and signed a treaty for the sake of secrecy. The adjutant explained in detail the assignment of the emissaries, including the fact that someone was cheating and refused to give money: "They have already begun to act, what should we do, and ask the prince to show us!"

"Those who work hard control people, and those who work control people, let them act, and we will wait and see what happens. His Royal Highness took a step back and carefully examined his masterpiece: "Just keep an eye on one of them." ”

"Stupid?" Adjutant said, "Your Highness is talking about the Porta Messenger Severik." Lando: Go ahead and do it immediately!"

"Wrong, Severik. Landau may look dumbfounded, but he's not stupid. The prince put pen to paper on the stamen: "The biggest fool should be the arrogant guy." ”

"Xia Guan understands, I must keep a firm eye on the Bansai envoy. The adjutant gave a military salute: "Retire." ”

The prince put down the brush in his hand again, and after looking at it for a long time, he nodded and smiled.

"It's finally done, I really didn't expect the prince to have this Yaxing. The hostess of the room came back from closing the door and offered a glass of wine: "Although I don't have much appreciation, I can feel that this painting gives a sense of serenity." ”

"When you're old, you're probably going to only draw this kind of thing. The prince sat down in a chair by the window: "Did you disappoint?"

"How could His Royal Highness the Prince, who is so personable, say such a thing. The beauty replied obediently: "You are very healthy! ”

"I'm still wondering how sweet your mouth is, it turns out that you have taken a fancy to my lieutenant. The prince laughed: "It's okay, I can help you, that's a nice young man." ”

"Look at what you say. The beauty blushed: "I...... This kind of identity, how can others look at it. ”

"The blue rose, one of the three flowers of the Tanxi Empire, what else is not worthy of an adjutant?" Speaking of this, the prince showed a look of sudden realization: "Could it be that you are not selling your body to be fake?"

"The prince is making fun of me. Beauty's face turned even redder, and she quickly changed the subject: "It's very rare, why is the prince so happy?"

"Somebody is going to be unlucky, and I'm naturally happy. The prince's face was very calm: "When I was young, I was a bad boy. ”

That night, the envoy of Bansai, who was being followed, secretly met with a Sbia nobleman, and it was a coincidence that the meeting place was not far from where the prince was staying, which was also a place of great beauty.

And this nobleman who met with the Bansai envoy was also one of the most important nobles in the Sbia Empire - the Count of Siga. The reason why the Bansai envoy chose him was because the Count of Xiga had hit a lot of nails with His Majesty Cohen some time ago, and more importantly, during the Sbyan Civil War, this nobleman had taken refuge in the Banser Empire and had some personal relations with the envoy himself.

"The Earl is here, please please!" As soon as Count Xiga appeared at the door, the Bansai envoy greeted him with a smile: "I have long wanted to talk to Your Excellency, but unfortunately I can't find any time. I haven't seen you for a long time, how are you doing?"

"Your Excellency is polite, what's so bad about the old age?" said Count Siga, who returned the salute and sighed and sat down at the table.

"Your Excellency, what's the matter?" the Bansai envoy pretended to be surprised: "Your Excellency was full of spring breeze when you were in my country!"

"Hey, the state affairs are difficult, do you see that there are more gray hairs on my head?" Count Xiga shook his head and said with a wry smile: "I have been a nobleman for half my life, and since I was born, no matter which emperor is in power, I have never been so neglected as now. Tell me, how can I still be full of spring breeze?" (To be continued......)
