Volume III, Chapter 54
"But this is the garden, and to put it bluntly, it is the imperial garden. Cohen didn't know this, so he went up and took Fei Lin's hand and walked to the gazebo next to him and sat down: "Even if there is no shortage of food, there is no shortage of such a piece of land, right?"
Felin's eyes became very gentle, and her affectionate gesture towards Cohen was not as reserved as before: "This is to set an example! Let everyone know that in order to fill everyone's stomachs, His Majesty the Emperor spares no effort." ”
"Well, that's a reason, but it's still not very comfortable to see these strange things. Cohen nodded in agreement with Philin's words: "I said, madam, can you create a more pleasing environment for your husband." ”
Filine chuckled.
"Can't you?"
"Okay. Philene nodded, and her voice dragged out to accommodate Cohen: "It's April now, and the summer grain is almost ripe." Before the summer grain harvest, I'll let them make another beautiful garden and give it back to you, okay?"
Cohen laughed and stood up.
"The day the summer grain is ripe, it is the time for me to rebel!" Cohen paused after saying this, then turned his head to look at Fei Lin, and there was a slight disappointment in his puzzled tone: "Dear madam, why don't you give my husband some applause and encouragement for my bold words?"
Cohen's expression was both serious and innocent, which made Philine almost laugh and bend over: "I'm not a child anymore, and I still want encouragement?"
Your encouragement is full of love and care. Cohen walked over, put his hands on Firin's shoulders, and spoke softly, enveloping Firin's whole body in his tender eyes: "I'm worried that I'm not in a good mood when I come out of Fischett, so I'm waiting for me—your care and consideration." I can detect it. ”
"Cohen. I ......"
"You don't have to explain anything. I used to feel busy, I didn't know what I needed, and I did one thing after another, but the result was not good...... And you hide your feelings so deeply that I ignore them. But in this, there is also your responsibility. ”
Cohen smiled and said, "Fortunately, it's not too late...... Beautiful young lady, how about letting me pursue you again? I will give you a perfect time in love. ”
Seeing the husband's expression, which is both true and false. Firine felt that time was going back, as if she was back to before she was married, and couldn't help but raise her hand like a parent and pat the back of Cohen's hand as punishment: "Nasty, stop talking nonsense." ”
"What nonsense? Who said nonsense?" Cohen became serious: "Sue you, Young Master Ben will definitely chase you down." If you don't take the initiative to speak, I'll be a scoundrel if I go to your boudoir. ”
"And say!" Philin blushed, "We're already husband and wife...... Besides, you're already a scoundrel!"
Cohen raised his head and smiled, and then put his head to Fei Lin's ear: "Young Master Ben is not satisfied with being a scoundrel now. ”
Filyn looked at her husband with interest and asked softly, "What are you going to do then?"
"Crazy man!" Cohen kissed Philine's earlobe, and the words he said startled Philin even more: "To be a madman who fights for world domination." ”
"Fight for hegemony - the world?" Fei Lin asked in surprise, "There are two alliances of gods and demons." How is that possible? Don't talk nonsense, it's a problem to be heard. ”
"What do the two alliances count? That's just incidental. Just an excuse. Cohen put away his smile and looked serious: "Don't worry, there is no third person here." Among all of them, you are the most calm and handsome, so I will tell you first. ”
Even if the sky falls, Fei Lin, who has always frowned, involuntarily stretched out her hand at this time, patted her chest and calmed down...... She decided to listen to Cohen's words before commenting: "You, you talk about it carefully. ”
Cohen sat down next to Philin, put his arm around her shoulder, and let out a sigh of relief: "Actually, it's not a big deal, but now I've found the three great joys of life." It's temporary, but it's okay for a while—would you like to hear it, dear lady?"
Philene took a deep breath and then grabbed her husband's hand, "Say it! I'm ready." ”
"Listen, the three great things in life are. Cohen leaned over and whispered in an intoxicated tone, "Fighting with the gods is endless fun, and fighting with demons is endless ......."
In an instant, Felin's face turned pale, and her palms trembled slightly, staring at Cohen's hair.
"Are you surprised? I told you I was going crazy, and you promised you that you were ready...
Cohen looked back at his wife with concern, and caressed her cheek lovingly.
But Felin was still Filyn after all, and it didn't take long for her to recover from the shock, methodically verifying the credibility of Cohen's words: "Are you telling the truth?"
"Of course, do you think I'm telling a lie now?" Cohen smiled with the purest smile on his face, "For the sake of convenience, I just went to borrow the throne from Fischette, temporarily for a few years, and then pay him back later—he acquiesced." ”
Indeed, Fichette did not object, and Cohen was not lying.
"You!" Fillin was angry and anxious, and put the back of her hand on Cohen's forehead, "Are you not sane?"
"I'm fine, I'm fine, I'm more sober than I've ever been. Cohen took Philin's hand down and shook it: "Of course, these are all step-by-step, and I will sue you when I plan it." ”
"You don't want to die?" Fei Lin was so anxious that she almost cried: "You are a human being, how can you fight with gods and demons?"
"Why can't you fight?" Cohen chuckled, taking advantage of Filin's fluster, and took her into his arms, and at this time Filyn had completely forgotten her usual reserve.
"I've already fought, first one-on-one, almost ten days, that little slut failed to win me...... Later, one against four, it was called a lively, and I had to run away if it didn't look good...
Cohen told Fei Lin about the encounter on the dividing line between gods and demons, and said to Fei Lin once, and when he was done, he also sent Fei Lin to the army: "It's these four stinky women who dare to play with your husband and me as toys." May I ask Princess Felin, who loves her husband deeply, what do you think in your heart?"
"Unforgivable—unforgiving!"
Fei Lin had already clenched her fists when she heard that Cohen was being tortured by the demon princess, and when she heard it, she was even more angry. In addition, Cohen's tone completely treated these four princesses as ordinary women...... At this time, he was unexpectedly asked by Cohen. The words of indignation almost blurted out. After saying that, I was also shocked.
"Finally there is a common language. Although Cohen succeeded in his treacherous plan, he did not have a smug look on his face, but said in a soft tone: "We are together, and we will not fail." ”
Feline took Cohen's hand and was silent for a long time.
"What do you think?"
"I wouldn't think that far. Fei Lin shook her head: "Tell me first, what is your first step arrangement?"
"The first step, of course, is to regain the Empire. Without thinking, Cohen replied, "This summer, I'm going to sweep away a rebel army." ”
Fei Lin nodded solemnly: "I don't know anything about Yiqiē yet, but I'll prepare this first step first." It's almost time. You tell me the steps below. ”
After saying this, Fei Lin stretched out her hand, took off the headdress inlaid with angel feathers from her head, threw it on the ground, stepped on it again, and cursed in her mouth: "Anything, dare to bully my husband!"
Firine is a woman who dares to love and hate, and stepping on this foot is like a sign that the Light God Clan is missing a faithful believer. As for Cohen, he doesn't seem to have ever believed in the God King of Light.
Cohen was so satisfied that he advised Filyn not to be angry. He bent down and picked up the headdress, saying that he had taken the jewelry and sold it for military rations...... Reveal your frugal nature to the fullest. Feline was helpless against him. In my heart, I only thought that he would really take it and sell it.
"We're done talking. Cohen clapped his hands, "Let me start courting you, dear girl—I honestly can't wait." ”
"Yes!" replied Firin, a little shyly, "but you must promise me first, and you are not allowed to joke about serious matters in the future." and thou shalt not say anything other important while pursuing me, lest you be astonished. ”
"Okay, I promise. Cohen stood up, "I'm courteous enough to take you back to your room, right?"
"Count you, you'll do it. Feline stood up and took Cohen's hand with a smile: "What, don't you send me flowers?"
"Flowers?" Cohen looked at the cassava in the courtyard and smiled wryly, "Delivered before sunset!"
Feline smiled and told Cohen about what had happened in the darkness since he left, and after a while she walked out of the path to Filin's room.
"By the way, where are Kelly?" Cohen asked.
"Together with Dell and Winsley, they're in your study!" said Felin, "pestering White Shadow to tell the story of the dragons." ”
"Well, I haven't heard of it. Cohen thought, "Why don't we listen to it too?"
"When you get to the door, the gentleman should take his leave. Philene tapped Cohen's forehead with her finger, "Besides, I'm the lady being pursued now, and I need more time to get dressed - I'll see you later." ”
Cohen smiled dumbly, knowing that this was Philin giving herself time to coax the others, so he stopped insisting and turned to walk towards the study. On the way, I met Lorenzo, the dean of the academy who went to ask why the prime minister was on vacation today, and the two collided head-on, and it was impossible to avoid it. So Cohen's eyes were fierce, and Lorenzo's face was full of anger, glaring at each other and passing by.
As soon as she reached the outside of the study, a petite woman rushed out and crashed into Cohen's arms. Cohen saw clearly that it was Dill and hugged it tightly.
"Ah, it's Cohen. Dill looked up and said eagerly, "Go and persuade Winsley, she's punishing the elves in the Guard!"
"She's just punishing the elves, and it's not the elves punishing her, what's the hurry?" Cohen didn't think of anything to persuade him: "Can't you go again later?"
Dill was so anxious that he chopped his feet: "Winsley said that the elf made a mistake, and she also has the responsibility of lax supervision, and she must be punished together!"
"What!" Cohen was taken aback, "Where?"
After asking the place, Cohen jumped out and shouted, "Opposite, whose idea is this!"
In a secluded courtyard in the Governor's Palace, more than thirty elves, including Winsley, were all sitting cross-legged on the ground, all with their eyes slightly closed, waiting for the elven clan elders on the side to release the magic punishment. Because it was in the Governor's Palace, other punishment methods were not effective.
Jumping over a bridge and leaping over a wall, Cohen hurried all the way to the house—but in the moments before rushing into the courtyard, he took two slow steps, took a deep breath, and put away the eagerness on his face and replaced it with a calm expression.
"Huh, why are you here?" Smiling as he walked through the courtyard door, Cohen pretended to ask the elven elder, "There are so many elves, what's so good?"
"Majesty Xià Good Day ......" at first glance it was Cohen. The elder stopped his magic. Come and say hello.
"Don't come yet!" Cohen's eyes rolled, "Winsley, why are you here?" It's not good to sit on the floor. ”
After saying that, he walked up and pulled Winsley up directly.
"Don't make a fuss. Embraced by her beloved, Winsley's eyes couldn't be closed no matter what: "The elders will be angry." ”
"Huh, angry?" Cohen turned his head and looked at the elven elder who was about to release his magic with infinite sincerity: "Respected elder, are you angry?"
The elven elder couldn't answer it after thinking about it, so he simply sighed and fell silent.
"Cohen, don't bother us. Winsley really thought she hadn't chosen the right place, and was accidentally bumped into by Cohen: "We're getting the penalty." ”
"Punishment, Winsley, what did you do wrong?" Cohen hugged Winsley and didn't let go. He also asked the team members behind him in surprise: "Didn't you all come back today? What bad things did you sneak out to do after a while, and even hurt my Wen Sili?"
The team members in the back were made to laugh and cry by Cohen, and the elven elders on the side had already thought of a statement and walked up to explain the cause and effect to Cohen.
After hearing this, Cohen frowned, and asked Winsley with a heartache: "Do you really want to be punished together?"
Winsley nodded, her expression resolute and pitying.
"Yes, if the state has its own laws, how can I convince the people if they do not follow them? But you can't spoil ......" Cohen nodded, and changed the conversation halfway through: "But that's it." I, as the supreme commander, will not escape the charge of connivance and lax control of the Governor's Guard—and I will be punished with it!"
The elven elder didn't know that he would come to this trick, and hurriedly confessed: "Your Majesty's status is noble, I don't dare to offend." ”
"Have you forgotten?When I was studying in the elven clan, didn't you beat me up one day?" Cohen smiled faintly: "Violating military law, I don't ask you to let anyone go, you are an elder, of course you understand this truth." ”
"I think," the elder saw that things had come to this point, and his head turned around and he had a solution: "It's better to do it another day, or ...... another way."
"No, I can't. Winsley in Cohen's arms struggled slightly: "That's not okay. ”
"Yes! Winsley is right, but the law is unforgiving. Cohen smiled bitterly in his heart, and followed Winsley's words downward, "But I am Winsley's husband, and I share the blame with my lover, which is not too much." I am the supreme commander of the Governor's Guard, and I share the weal and woe of my erring men, which is also in accordance with military law. ”
"Now. After a pause, Cohen then said to the elders, "In the name of the Emperor, I order you to begin the punishment, and the punishment shall not be reduced without permission. ”
Since it was ordered in the name of the emperor, the elven elders, of course, had no opinion, and with a confession, they raised their hands and began to cast a punishment magic.
Cohen stood still, his hands clutching Winsley in his arms. Winsley struggled twice, and then she had to rest her head on her husband's chest, her cheeks red. The rest of the elves were still sitting cross-legged on the ground, surrounded by a thread of green light, and fine beads of sweat appeared on the faces of many elves.
Cohen carefully guarded Winsley, and looked around leisurely, completely ignoring the pain that was only "minor" to him. Later, the elves looked pained and simply absorbed the magical light around the guards.
Although Cohen's strength has been greatly improved, after all, this is a magic specially invented for punishment, and after a long time, Cohen also feels a little uncomfortable, especially uncomfortable in his back, but he has done it, and he can only grit his teeth and persevere.
Two hours later, when the elders withdrew their magic, Cohen was sweating profusely.
Of course, this is still the mercy of the elven elders, after all, Cohen is now the emperor, and it is not good to let the emperor be bedridden.
"Your Majesty, it's all right!" the elder saluted Cohen.
"It's been a lot of hard work. ”
Cohen answered the elder first, smiling a little stiffly because of the pain. Then he turned to the other elves, "It's all right, why do you go - next time! ”
Wen Sili took out a handkerchief and wiped her sweat for Cohen, with Cohen's careful care, she didn't have anything to do, and Dear and others standing next to her also came over.
"Hey, this thing isn't fun. Surrounded by his wives, Cohen shook his head and complained: "It's really tricky magic, if you change someone else, you might be in bed for ten days!"
"What about you!" Kelly hugged Cohen, who was pretending to be pretending, "How many days will you be in bed?"
"Do I dare to stay in bed?" Cohen smiled, "Kelly, don't fall asleep too early at night! ”
"How dare you—" "That's good. Cohen didn't wait for Kelly to finish, "I'm going to sneak up on Dill and Winsley." ”
"Sneak attack?" Dill twisted Cohen's arm, "Lie down and rest for me!"
Cohen replied pitifully, "But, I also want to listen to the story......"
"Alright—" Kelly pulled the white shadow, "Let's go to the bedside and talk about it." ”
"Very honored. Cohen smiled again: "White Shadow, that's not what I said. ”
White Shadow smiled.
At dinner, everyone was present, a rare reunion in the Governor's House in recent times.
Heard about Cohen's afternoon "sabotage" punishment, Visu. Prince Al Kaida shook his head, and Cohen was inevitably taught a lesson by the Great and Right Mother. The only person who received the praise was Abu, who announced in public that he would reserve a seat for Abu at dinner in the future. Abu was about to do a somersault in celebration when Cohen was frightened into Dill's arms with a ferocious gaze......
After the meal, the ladies invited each other to go to the back to talk. Prince Wei Su smiled and gave a look, and Cohen understood, and found an excuse to go up to the back house with his father.
The top floor of the Hou Council Building was originally the place where Fischette conducted official business, and it was also useful for His Royal Highness the Prince to choose this place as a place for conversation, and he could take the opportunity to observe whether his son had recovered his state of mind. Seeing Cohen's calm expression, His Royal Highness's hanging heart was also relaxed.
In Cohen's eyes now, this floor has become a place of hope for the resurrection of his best friend, and of course it will not be sad, and even the night in Dark City is more beautiful in his eyes. The night breeze blew slowly on the side of the building, blowing the hair on the foreheads of the two, and the two fathers and sons looked into the distance by the railing, saying some trivial things in their mouths, but they all had their own ideas in their hearts.
What Wei Su was thinking about was how to persuade Cohen to ascend the throne as soon as possible, and Cohen wanted to tell his father how much had happened, or what was going to happen in the future. At this moment, the two fathers and sons used their own brains, and they didn't take the rebels in the empire into account at all, if Lu Man knew, he might shout that he was wronged!
"This is my Sbia Empire, great rivers and mountains!" Looking at the lights in the city, His Royal Highness the Prince sighed with emotion: "Cohen, we can't let the rebels entrench like this anymore. ”
"Of course. Cohen nodded: "Not only will I recover the land, but I will also prepare the show for their exit." ”
"That's what a good man looks like. His Royal Highness the Prince was relieved, and was also aroused by Cohen's pride, and then asked: "When will the army enter the Holy Capital?"
"It's just April, and the summer grain will be harvested in the middle of next month. Cohen lowered his head and thought: "Use troops at the end of May, enter the holy capital in June, and pacify the entire empire in July!"
The Prince's eyes lit up: "Are you sure?" (to be continued......
