"I really can't help you. Of course, Cathering understood Cohen's little trick, and let go of his hand at the moment: "I am also very happy to see you three children make achievements, but I am your mother after all, no matter how old you are, it is my unchanging fate to be afraid of you." ”

"I'm really going to be careful. Cohen sat down beside his mother: "It won't be long before my mother's life won't be so dull." ”

"What? Do you have a sweetheart again? You've grown up and made your own decisions, but with your energy, can you handle it?"

"No, no, I don't have such plans, four wives are enough. Cohen sneered: "After the empire settles down, of course, it is necessary to sing and dance, so I invited an outstanding lady to come to the Holy Capital, and I want her to form a large-scale song and dance troupe, which will be used as a starting point to bring prosperity to the entire empire." ”

Cathering washed her hands on the side, walked back to her place and sat down: "What does this have to do with me?"

"Not only do I intend for her to perform in the Empire, but I also intend for her to go to other empires to spread the goodwill of the Spya Empire for peace. Cohen smiled: "And she is of a different race, such a special person, she must have a certain identity, and the introducer who has just entered the social circle must also consider carefully......"

"Is this the introducer me?" asked Cathering, quietly.

"Yes, if someone from a certain country dares to oppose her, I can lead an army to sweep away the other party just by virtue of her close relationship with her mother. Cohen leaned closer to his mother: "She's beautiful! ”

"Of course you can be an introducer, but this lady has to be my liking. As a mother, Cathering couldn't refuse Cohen's request: "And. You have to promise me. The fact that this young lady has been hurt cannot be used as a reason to start a war...... It's unfortunate to be a woman. You can't make her miserable any longer, it's cruel. ”

"Of course, I promise you, and you have to trust your son not to do that. There was already footsteps outside the door, and His Majesty Cohen put away his playful expression and winked at his mother: "I promise that she will meet your heart." ”

"Who is in whose heart?" Prince Wei Su walked into the restaurant with his daughters-in-law and asked with a smile, "What is the emperor whispering?"

"It's the Aqua girl I talked about last time, Ferna. Her singing voice is wonderful. Cohen stood up, took Xiao Qinlun from Felin's hand, and showed a concerned smile to his wives by the way: "She will be in the Holy Capital at the beginning of next month, and I just happened to tell my mother about it! ”

I heard that it was a "special arrangement" and several imperial concubines were a little flustered, but it was difficult to say anything in front of their parents, so Fei Lin only replied lightly: "I have heard Miss Fuerna's singing for a long time, and we are all looking forward to it." ”

As soon as the words came out, Cohen realized that his statement was not very appropriate, but if he explained it now, it would be even more suspicious, so he had to change the subject: "Sister Weisha is really good in this outfit." It's even more beautiful than in the daytime. ”

"Thank you, Brother Cohen. Wei Sha pursed her lips and smiled, her eyes shining with wisdom. Taking over to relieve Cohen: "I'm a vampire! Of course I'm more energetic at night than during the day." ”

"Please sit down! I'm tired of the day. Prince Wei Su greeted everyone: "Today's dish is very delicious. ”

At dinner, several imperial concubines expressed the same expression, no one showed vinegar, and the spacious dining room was full of laughter. Seeing this situation, Prince Wei Su exchanged a few glances with his wife, and each smiled secretly in his heart.

After the meal, the chief liaison officer and the general staff officer went to the door of the hall together, and the well-behaved Weisha knew that Cohen and the others had something to discuss, and in view of their current status, they first took Princess Qinlun outside to play. Visa already knew that the little princess didn't want to stay away from Cohen, so she sat down on the verandah outside the dining room and knitted a ring.

"Come and sit down!" Cohen beckoned to Marfa and Carlos, "Have you eaten?"

"We've all eaten, and Wen entertained us with a big meal. Marfa replied with a smile, handing over a few large boxes that he had brought with him: "This was sent to my house by a jewelry merchant, because he was holding the business card of the Viscount of Silver Moon Lake, so I haven't refused yet." ”

Lucy walked up and opened the four boxes one by one, and inside were several sets of jewelry, three of which Cohen had seen earlier today. Although everyone present was well-informed, they still expressed their appreciation for these sets of jewelry.

"Well, that guy is pretty fast. Cohen nodded, "What else did he tell you?" ”

"Yes, Your Majesty, he made it clear that I would be his backstage, and he gave me a set of exquisite jewelry. Marfa scratched his head: "And the jewelry that you want me to transfer to the three princes, Your Majesty, what should I do now?"

"It's easy to do. Cohen laughed: "You will accept what you give you, and what you want to forward, you will transfer it." ”

Marfa blinked, making sure Cohen wasn't joking, and pushed the three boxes in front of Prince Visu.

"Should I accept it?" Prince Wei Su looked at his son playfully, smiled and said, "According to the custom, after receiving a gift, you have to do something for others!"

"My dear father, though you have never accepted gifts, you have to give the face of the Chief Liaison Officer! besides, one of the sets of jewelry is very suitable for my mother, and the other two sets of my brothers will also need it, and I really do not want to let these jewelry fall into the hands of others. Cohen turned to the prince and said, "As for those things, I will naturally help you do them." ”

"In that case, then I'll take it. Prince Wei Su looked at the jewels in front of him: "What the hell do you have in mind?"

"You're right, I arranged for the jeweler to bring the gift, because I stumbled upon something. Cohen explained, "Do you look at the jewels and see anything special?"

"In addition to the elegant design. Princess Winsley was particularly sensitive to magical items, and her personality was relatively simple, so she immediately said, "The gem is a high-quality magic crystal, and it is not produced by our Sbia Empire. ”

Hearing Winsley say this, the eyes of the others couldn't help but become serious, and everyone wondered about Cohen's intentions in their hearts.

"Winsley was right. These are very special magic crystals. Cohen praised his wife first. Then look around the audience with your eyes: "If there is a war." Especially in urban offensive and defensive battles, the best magic crystals will be a very scarce and valuable resource, so we have strictly forbidden the outflow...... As for the other empires, they are currently allowing these treasures to flow out of the country, which shows that the magic crystal resources they now have in their hands are quite considerable. ”

"And then?" "As soon as he heard that it was related to the military, the General Staff officer appeared particularly zealous.

"In the past, I only noticed that I had more magic crystals, and I didn't think of using means to get other empires to reduce the amount of magic crystals they owned. "Got to the point. Cohen's tone was a little cold: "Fortunately, this jewelry merchant reminded me, although it was unintentional, this credit is not small, so I will give him a hand." In the future, he can do something for us. ”

The people present carefully considered the emperor's words, and no one spoke for a while.

"In the event of war, if used correctly, one of these crystals can indeed cause damage to a large number of soldiers. It took a long time before Prince Wei Su spoke: "Of course, it is a good thing to let the other party consume, but how can you do it? However, there are many countries with a lot of reserves. ”

"Although the reserves are large, it is very difficult to mine them. Mines as easy to mine as the Dark Forest are hard to come by. Cohen replied, "Even if it is mined, it will take a lot of time to process it to a standard that can be used, and if you don't pay attention, it will cause a sudden overflow of magical energy and cause a vicious accident, so the production volume is limited." Guys, am I right?"

"That's the case, so before the Great War of Gods and Demons, all countries will pay attention to their reserves. Prince Wei Su couldn't help but nod: "But all countries are very careful in their use, and ordinary means are not enough to mislead them, and usually, these things will be directly rationed to magicians." How easy it is to talk about the consumption you proposed!"

"I'm Cohen. Al Qaeda. The smile on Cohen's face is anything but cute: "I have the best wisdom in the world." ”

"Don't you want them to make all the magic crystals into jewelry?" said Princess Diel, "they won't be so stupid. ”

"Of course they won't be so stupid, but if there is still circulation in the market, you have to buy it all with a lot of money, and it can't fall into the hands of others, which is the ultimate goal of asking Marfa to be the backstage of the jewelry store. Cohen affirmed Deere's opinion: "As for the other magic crystals, I will let them take them out and use them, and they will be eager to take them all out and use them!"

"Don't sell it, just say it if there's any good way!"

"In the near future, I will arrange a show for the envoys of the Empires to show them the special weapons that the Sbia Empire has developed for the next Great War of Gods and Demons. Cohen stood up, glass in his hand, "They'll be excited to see those weapons." ”

"Weapons...... Magic Crystal ......" The General Staff Officer thought about Cohen's words, and suddenly his eyes widened: "Your Majesty, you don't want them to see that, do you? That thing is still in the real stage, and there won't be much progress in the near future." ”

"That's it, my chief of staff, you don't have to worry at all, you should know what it means to show ......" Cohen laughed, "That is, we will show them the greatest advantage of something in the most appropriate way." ”

"And then?" Philene understood Cohen's words.

"Well, that's going to take a spin on our chief liaison officer. Cohen walked over to Marfa and his voice gradually lowered: "I need you to make a well-thought-out and sound plan to get them ......"

"No problem. Marfa nodded: "I'm very good at this kind of thing." ”

"In that case, we immediately executed the plan. Cohen looked at the Chief of Staff: "Do you have something difficult to solve?"

"Yes, Your Majesty. The general staff officer's expression was a little embarrassed: "Can you talk to His Majesty alone?"

"About what?"

"Strategic ...... of the Military Department for the Next Two Years"

"Go and gather your deputy. Cohen said solemnly, "We'll see you in a quarter of an hour." ”

After Cohen and the others left, several internal affairs overseers suppressed their unhappiness with their husbands, and did their duty as juniors, and whispered to the prince and his wife about family life, making the two old men happy. Feline and Dill looked the same, but Winsley was visibly distracted, most notably Kelly, who had slipped her mouth several times. Seeing this, Cathering felt funny. But it's not easy for her son to tell her about herself.

"I have one thing to ask you for. "In the greetings. Prince Visu sent the others away. He said to his daughters-in-law, "Very important things. ”

"Father, please. In such a situation, it was mostly Fei Lin, who was the first princess, who came forward to receive it.

"Everyone knows that the origin of the crow is a little strange, especially his appearance. The prince looked at Philin and whispered, "I know I should trust Cohen, but the crows are here to assassinate Cohen after all...... Frankly, I'm worried. ”

"Yes, we're worried too. Did my father talk to my husband?"

"We've talked twice, and Cohen's attitude is very resolute, so it's all in vain. He was the king of a nation, and though I was his father, I could not dwell too much on the subject, lest Cohen be so angry that there was no room for any relaxation in the whole matter. Prince Weisu replied with a wry smile: "I see that your relationship with Cohen has become more and more harmonious recently, so I ask you to solve this matter, and this evening has a good chance." ”

"Yes, Father. Let's talk to my husband. ”

"Be tactful. The prince instructed, "If it were anything else, Cohen would have given in." Cohen's attitude on this matter is strange...... If we really can't say it, we need to know at least a little bit more. ”

"Look at what you said, it scares the kids. Cathering looked at her husband, then turned to the concubines and said, "Don't be so hard, don't worry, if you still can't say it, I'll go and screw that little bastard's ear." ”

"Yes, Mother. ”

Knowing that Cohen was giving a face-to-face lecture to the General Staff Officer in the confidential conference room, it was inconvenient for him to disturb him, so the four princesses with a mission first played in the garden. It was almost an hour before arriving at the heavily guarded Royal Chamber.

As soon as they entered the hall, the four imperial concubines saw a very rare scene. The General Staff Officer, the General Liaison Officer, and two of their henchmen were sitting on the stairs leading to the second floor in a daze, and the wide staircase that could accommodate five people in parallel blocked the four men who were carrying the star on their shoulders—a strange sight for everyone.

The two subordinates with the rank of brigadier general will not talk about it, and the chief liaison officer Marfa will not say anything, and the three of them can sit down wherever they go. But the General Staff, who had always been meticulous and well-behaved, was different, he was a man who emphasized that his manners were in accordance with his position, and how could he now sit on the steps so casually? If he was tired, there were comfortable chairs in the corridor next to him.

Look again, the faces of several neatly groomed generals all have the same expressions - their eyes are looking at their feet, and they are in a trance.

"Sister, are they being scolded by their husbands?" Kelly covered her mouth with a feather fan and asked in a low voice, "Look at them, so pitiful." ”

"Probably not. Fillin didn't have the same doubts in her heart: "It doesn't look like being scolded." ”

If it had been in the past, if any officer had been scolded by His Majesty Cohen, he would have rushed to do his own thing well. Moreover, His Excellency the Chief Liaison Officer has never been afraid of being scolded by His Majesty Cohen, and even if he is repaired, his expression is either smiling or miserable.

"Since we don't know, let's ask. Dill couldn't figure it out, so he asked, "Wouldn't this be more direct?"

For the sake of face, when the other three imperial concubines were still thinking about how to speak, Princess Wen Sili had already stepped forward slowly, and those generals didn't know what they were thinking so indifferently that they didn't even know that the imperial concubine came to them.

"A couple of generals. Smiling, Princess Winsley whispered, "I want to go upstairs." ”

"Huh?" The General Staff Officer came back from his contemplation and quickly stood up: "It turned out to be Princess Wensley, good evening, Imperial Princess." ”

"Why are you all sitting on the ground?" asked Wen Sili seemingly casually, "The steps are very cold, and sitting for a long time is not good for your health." ”

"Ah...... It's okay. The General Staff Officer and the General Liaison Officer glanced at each other: "Several imperial concubines, please, we are leaving." ”

After saying that, a few guys saluted the imperial concubines and ran away under the pretext of having run away beforehand.

"That's weird!" Kelly frowned, "I've never seen them like this." ”

"Or maybe it's something to do with the war......" Winsley guessed.

"No matter, we have our own business!" Dill beckoned everyone to the conference room.

In the confidential conference room, Cohen and Crow sat opposite each other at the round conference table, Cohen had a glass of red wine in front of him, and a glass of white water in front of Crow, looking like they were both thinking about something, while White Shadow stood quietly by the floor-to-ceiling window.

"What's going on?" Seeing such a scene, Fei Lin, who had always been strict, couldn't help laughing: "There are four people outside who are lost their souls, and there are also two people here who are in a daze......"

The crow, dressed in armor, immediately picked up his helmet and put it on, stood up, bowed slightly to several imperial concubines as a sign of politeness, and then stood aside. Although in the eyes of others, this etiquette has no respectful meaning, and can even be said to be extremely rude, but the imperial concubines solemnly returned the salute to the crow, and they knew that this was a great progress for the crow.

"You are here, please take a seat. Cohen nodded to his wives, "I'm in a daze for a different reason than those guys. ”

"Different?" asked the outspoken Kelly as she sat down, "What's wrong with them?"

"Everyone knows about the military arrangements, but seeing that the three-day period is about to expire, the plan made by the staff can make me laugh off my big teeth, so!" Cohen exhaled, "I'll help them come up with ideas and guide them." ”

"The result of the pointing is too puzzling!" Dill continued, "They are all sitting on the stairs in a daze!"

"My method doesn't follow the conventional path, it's a fierce drug, and it takes time for them to digest it. Cohen winked at Deere: "If they can grasp my thoughts, not only the current plan, but the future plan will do well." ”

"We also discussed privately the tasks of the military department for the next two years. The conclusion is that in the event of war, the will of the other side should not be underestimated, and it will be difficult to achieve any normal method. Fei Lin commented: "The fierce medicine that the husband said is probably a very bizarre method. ”

"The so-called sword goes sideways, that's it. Cohen smiled and didn't answer directly.

"In this way, there is no problem for the military department to achieve the goal of the husband within two years!" Fei Lin asked: "Since there is no problem, why are you in a daze, husband?

"It's just a question that comes to mind, and we're thinking about it. War is always a war, and people will die, not only will many soldiers die, but more suffering is actually borne by the common people. Cohen reached out and patted a document on the table: "I have always hated to belittle the lives of others, but when this plan is made, I am very uneasy...... Isn't that also belittling other people's lives? Even though they are not citizens of Spia, they have not offended me. ”

"Husband...... Are you doubting yourself?" asked Kelly, worried. (To be continued......)
