"Martial arts are not much of an advantage, it depends on personal qualifications. The imperial concubine said in a rare solemn tone: "The general doesn't have to care too much about this, it's just a means, just like a legendary hero, martial arts can also be used to protect the clansmen." ”

"This thing...... I can't necessarily do it. For some reason, there was a noticeable pause in Freo's words for the first time: "I stayed, but I don't know how long I could stay here." ”

"Does General Freo feel confused about the future?" the princess didn't know what to remember, her eyes shining.

Freo didn't answer, in fact he didn't know how to answer, and the princess's words made him very nervous.

"It's good, I've always thought that the general was a person with no personal feelings, but now I finally know that you also have the troubles of ordinary people. Princess Wen Sili smiled and said, "Not only is the general confused about the future, but we are too! Even a person like the husband must be confused, right? It is not easy to master the life in front of you, let alone the future?"

"So, I'm not an outlier. A smile appeared on Freo's face, although it was brief, but it made the princess who spoke to him happy: "In this empire, the only weird person is that guy, right?"

"The general's words are right, so far we have only found such a strange person. The imperial concubine sorted out the skirt that was blown away by the evening breeze: "But what is more tragic than the general is that we are in love with this guy, and the relationship between this wife and friend is really worrying." ”

"The princess doesn't need to be anxious. Freo replied, "You can see that he cares about you." ”

"That's why we fall in love with him. Although in many things. His appearance is ...... Inappropriate. The princess whispered, "But feelings are a wonderful thing. We are willing to pay for him. What about you, General, have you ever had a woman you like?"

"I've never been, and I don't want to. Freo shook his head, "So I can't understand such feelings." ”

"General, it's not a question of whether you want to or not, feelings often come silently, and people can't compete with them. "As an elf, Princess Winsley is different from other women, she never hides herself, even if she laughs. is also a generous smile, and he will not cover his mouth with anything: "At that time, the general himself will be able to understand." ”

"At least not in the near future. Freo thought for a moment, "I should be glad." ”

"Although the general doesn't have a crush at the moment, he can feel the love of others!" Princess Wen Sili put away the smile on her face: "It may be right now." ”

Freo was shocked, he didn't know what the princess meant by his words, he was an outstanding killer, but what about other aspects...... It's not very bright, especially in some things, it can be said that it is powerless.

"As I said earlier, I love my husband, and I love my husband's relatives. I want to make sure my husband won't be harmed...... So I would like to ask the general a few questions. The princess stood up, though she was facing an unrivaled killer. But the expression on her face was resolute: "My husband is with the other three sisters, and he doesn't know what I'm doing, it's a problem for our sisters...... If there is any offense to the general, please also ask the general for forgiveness. ”

"Imperial Princess, excuse me. ”

"These days, the general also knows what kind of person my husband is, right? What he holds in his hands is the fate of the entire empire, the lives of tens of millions of people. The established national policy has already been implemented, and it is impossible to turn back, if we lose him, what fate awaits this empire and the people? The evening breeze blew and raised the skirt of Princess Winsley: "Please tell me, will you hurt my husband?"

"Hurt?" Freo was stunned, "What do you mean...... Am I going to kill him?"

"It can be understood this way. ”

"If you want to kill him, there are many opportunities. Freo smiled unexpectedly, "But I can't think of any reason to swing a sword at him." ”

"Thank you General for your answer, my heart can rest at ease. The imperial concubine breathed a sigh of relief: "So, what prompted the general to stay? The general was very resolute in going that day...... Please don't doubt it, we're glad the general stayed, we just can't think of why. ”

"I can't say the exact reason, or maybe it's because of the confusion about the future...... It's not entirely because of his retention. ”

"Can you tell me why?"

"No, you can't. ”

"Thank you General for your answer, I have no more problems. Princess Wen Sili smiled again: "Please don't sue anyone else about this matter, okay?"

"Of course. Freo clasped his hands: "But the princess, are you satisfied with such an answer?"

"It's not very detailed, but I'm very satisfied to hear that the general won't be bad for my husband. ”

"The princess believes me?"

"Why don't you believe it?" said Winsley softly, "what reason does the general have to lie to me?"

As soon as the princess's words came out, Freo's heart was moved for no reason.

"It's late, I won't bother the general. ”

Freo sent to the door without a word.

"See you tomorrow, General Freo. ”

"See you tomorrow. "Hell Island, the palace of the Demon Patriarch Princess.

In the afternoon, the sun shines on the garden, and several kinds of delicate flowers bloom one after another, and the faint fragrance of the fragrance surrounds the garden with the sound of gurgling water, creating a quiet and elegant environment. In the gazebo in the corner of the garden, Her Royal Highness the little princess, who has "restrained her playful nature", is learning to deal with government affairs with Her Royal Highness the eldest princess.

Her Royal Highness the eldest princess, who looked attentive, reviewed the official documents in the pavilion, and explained a few words to her sister from time to time. But our little princess was not so serious, she spread her wings and floated around the gazebo, and frequently looked around absentmindedly, which showed that her mind was not used in business at all.

"Don't be so anxious, the Demon Temple is not so bad, and the news that should come will not be too late. The eldest princess knew what her sister was looking forward to, and comforted her: "Sit down quietly and wait!"

"But sister, it's already afternoon!" the little princess flew up to her sister. He frowned slightly and asked, "How long do those priests want to delay? Why don't you let the demon general report us directly? Isn't that much more convenient?"

"It's really convenient for the Demon General to report the news. But that's a special means. In comparison. Although the Demon Temple was slow to report this news, it was a means of rule. The eldest princess looked at her sister and smiled slightly: "If you have a pet, what should you do to let it know that you like it and will not abandon it, so that you will obey you?"

"Me?" the little princess tilted her head and thought for a long time before replying, "I'll find a way to tell him, it's very important to me! I'm going to be sad, okay?"

Although this answer is not very accurate, it contains more or less the same truth. The eldest princess put down the official document in her hand: "The meaning of the Demon Palace is similar to that of pets, let them report such news, let them think that they are more important to us, they will be very satisfied, and they will not calmly analyze their own weight...... This is one of the stranger aspects of human nature. ”

"Sister is so powerful!" The little princess clapped her palms: "But sister, you should have a report from the demon general, right?"

"Why do you ask?"

"Because sister, you are very calm! If you didn't know the news in advance, how could you have been sitting here quietly?"

"It's just a subterfuge, but I have to follow the rules of the game. So I'm not going to ask for news from the Demon General first. The eldest princess was angry and funny, and pointed her finger on her sister's forehead: "You! The recovery of a small empire is not worthy of my full attention. ”

"Hmph! My sister manages the entire alliance, so of course she won't pay attention to the affairs of the Sibia Empire. The little princess pursed her lips: "But I'm different, so far, this is the only thing I can manage!"

"All right, you don't have to be indignant, Father didn't demonize Cohen. Is Kaida's matter completely left to you?" Seeing her sister's angry look, the eldest princess couldn't help but laugh out loud: "I also have some opinions about this empire, wait until I listen to the report of the exchange! ”

"But...... How can we disobey our father's wishes?"

"Did the Father tell us when we should demonize? That's just a means. The eldest princess pointed to her sister: "If you don't demonize, you can make Cohen." Kaida does what we mean to do interesting things, and even if you don't demonize him, it's even more interesting, and my father won't insist on demonizing him!"

The little princess was still thinking about her sister's words, and a maid who came over from the garden path replied by the pavilion: "Your Royal Highness, the golden-robed priest of the Demon Palace has something important to tell and is waiting outside the garden for summons. ”

"Bring him in. The eldest princess replied lightly, and then instructed her sister: "The waiting news is here, don't float." ”

The little princess smiled and folded her wings, and sat down beside the eldest princess obediently, looking very interested. After a while, the golden-robed priest of the Demon Temple walked in under the leadership of the maid, because the golden-robed left priest committed suicide after the battle, so this is a newly promoted successor, and he looks much younger than his predecessor.

The first time he saw him alone, he looked a little nervous from his expression, and after saluting, he fell to the ground and didn't dare to look up at all.

"Ordinary Jinjian, no need to be nervous. Although the little princess was a little anxious, she was a princess after all, and she had seen too many such things, so she learned from her sister's previous way of dealing with it: "Tell me what you know and return it to the truth." ”

"Yes. Listening to Her Royal Highness the Little Princess's words, Zuo Sai's restrained demeanor relaxed slightly: "Two adults, this time we are returning to the Divine Alliance's Nesbian Empire, and we have done it very carefully this time. ”

"Really?" the eldest princess glanced at her sister with a smile, "What happened to Spia?"

"The Sbia Empire is restored, Cohen. Al Kaida had ascended the throne half a month ago and officially became the seventeenth emperor of Spia. Zuo Priest's head was slightly raised off the ground: "According to the information that has been sent back, the people of Spiya are against Cohen. Al Qaeda was a supporter, not only because he had ended the long war, but also because of a new series of decrees that favored the people. ”

"So, Cohen. Kaida has stabilized the political situation?" the eldest princess asked.

"On some levels it was, but there were still many voices of suspicion among the nobility and capitulation officials, in order to appease these people. Cohen. Al Qaeda issued another amnesty. Pardon all for a mistake in the rebellion. Zuo Sai's voice gradually returned to normal: "This order has caused some people to be dissatisfied. So the current Sbia Empire is not monolithic. From this point of view, the emperor left a hidden worry. ”

"What problems did the Demon Palace analyze?" the eldest princess looked at the paperwork in her hand and asked very casually, "Tell me about it." ”

"Yes, my lord, we have carefully analysed the new decrees of Spia, and we have concluded that they want to restore their power in the near future, because they have reduced a number of miscellaneous taxes and restricted the right of the lord to interfere with the land to which he belongs. "Zuo Sai has already prepared the answer. At this time, it can be said that the answer is fluent: "There is another thing that also illustrates this problem, in order to get the understanding of the Sibia Empire, other divine empires have made compensation, and Cohen." What Kaida wants is all the materials needed for the construction of people's livelihood. ”

"So it looks like Cohen. Kaida wants to be a wise gentleman, a benevolent gentleman, and a decent one. The eldest princess smiled: "That's good! Every empire needs such a king, what about their military aspects?"

"What makes people feel strange is the military of the Sbia Empire, and we carefully calculated Cohen. All of Al Qaeda's financial revenues found a problem in it. Zuo Priest replied, "Cohen." Al Qaeda's army had more than 200,000 troops before ascending the throne, and after ascending the throne, a conscription order was issued, and more than 300,000 recruits were recruited. Dozens of training grounds were also built across the country, which was a heavy burden for a newly recovered empire. It doesn't match their income. ”

"Sbiya is also a rich empire, and with their financial resources, it is not a problem to raise a million troops. ”

"But my lord, we have obtained the construction catalogue of the Sibian Empire for the next year, and the projects on it have already spent all the financial revenues, and we may have to pay backwards. And Cohen. Al Kaida's army has always been well-equipped, and compared to other empires, he spends twice or even three times as much money on training for the same number of troops. Zuo replied very confidently: "But now, those projects have started and the soldiers are also training, but we don't know where their money comes from. ”

"It's an interesting phenomenon, Cohen. Will Kaida let his finances be ruined? If he has enough money in his hands, that's what worries the Demon Empire. The eldest princess asked softly, "So, do you understand the next task of the Demon Palace?"

"Understood!" Zuo Priest replied loudly, "The Demon Temple must find out about this matter in the near future and report it back to the adults." ”

"Well, you're a little more savvy than your ex, and I want you to be more loyal than your ex. The eldest princess ended the conversation with a comment, and then reminded: "Although the people's livelihood is being vigorously developed, it does not mean that the emperor has the will for peace." ”

"Yes, my lord, what the lower official said is true, and we will never dare to say anything false, as for the matter of Spiya, we will definitely pay attention to it. Zuo Priest knew that it was time to retreat, and hurriedly took out a small box from his arms: "This crystal ball is recorded in Cohen." The military parade presided over by Kaida had some interesting pictures, and the two adults were invited to take a look. Please retire. ”

"Let's go down!" The eldest princess asked the maid to take the wooden box: "Don't interfere in the affairs of the Sibia Empire for the time being, I have my own arrangements." ”

"Obey, the villain retreats. ”

As soon as Zuo Priest left, the little princess couldn't wait to ask the maid to open the wooden box, and looking at the expression on her face, she was so happy that she was like she had obtained the treasure of her dreams. It's rare to be so happy, and the eldest princess can't restrain her too much, let her go.

The maid placed the small crystal ball on the table, then cast her magic and took out the image stored in the zài.

The water vapor appeared on the surface of the crystal ball, gradually thickened, and began to overflow, expanding and rising until it became an arm-diameter fog that floated in the pavilion. After a while, the dense fog gradually faded and became transparent, and finally, the image of a large city emerged little by little.

"Is this the Holy Capital of Spia?" the little princess opened her eyes wide and observed the image that was gradually becoming clearer: "Sister, what is this building?"

"It's a holy capital, yes. The eldest princess explained, "The positive one should be Cohen." The royal palace of Al Kaida, a little in front of which is the square...... Look, your toy is out, and it's not bad. ”

"But, he wears this to me very strangely!" the little princess covered her mouth and smiled, "As long as I think of the way he was caught before, I can't help but want to laugh." At that time, he was covered in sludge. Only the eyes and teeth are white. This is especially evident when he rolls his eyes. ”

"Alright! Your toy is already talking. Let's see. ”

The parade was reproduced in its entirety, including Cohen's speech, the troops that walked through the review stand, and of course, the flying troops who came out at the end......

"What an interesting human being. After watching the military parade, the eldest princess smiled and said, "I can't help but be a little glad that I didn't demonize him, otherwise where would such a fun thing come about? I will show this to my father." ”

"But sister, aren't we going to do something?" asked the little princess, full of anticipation, "if we want to have more fun, we have to be involved." Besides, there are many mysteries in Sbia!"

"Of course you have to do something, the information in the Demon Temple is pitiful, and I don't believe in its accuracy, Cohen. Kaida is a natural soldier, and he can't be a good emperor. The eldest princess looked serious, stood up and said to the maid next to her, "Pass my order to the demon general, so that she can start to contact Cohen." Kaida, figure out what happened in the Sbiya Empire!"

"Then what am I going to do?" asked the little princess.

"Study, my sister, in the shortest possible time. You need to be familiar with the current situation in Spia. The eldest princess smiled back: "If the demon general can't deal with this human, you need to appear." ”

Same. The Divine Alliance, the holy capital of Spia, and the State Guest House.

Although there were various contradictions between the various empires, everyone was now a guest envoy, and they were on the same side, and they had to take care of each other, so every day around dinner time, the envoys would gather in the hall for a moment to exchange "non-very important situations".

Normally, such gatherings are light-hearted and pleasant, but the atmosphere of today's gathering is a bit dull, and the problem lies with the Gallo Empire, the new emissary.

Before His Majesty Cohen ascended the throne, the envoys of the Gallo Empire were involved in an assassination operation against His Majesty Cohen, and he himself was wrenched into a mess of rotten flesh on the spot, not to mention that even his deputies, retinues, and guards who came with him were also captured and beheaded, and the price was not unmiserably. The new envoy sent at the moment sent a large number of gifts as soon as he arrived in the Holy Capital to study at charities, and he was eager to buy every minister in the imperial court...... A lot of gifts were given, but the ministers still didn't pay much attention to him.

This morning, the three messengers who had also received the gifts went with him to the palace to see His Majesty Cohen, but they were very depressed and closed—they did not see anyone except the officers guarding the door. In this way, not only did the Gallo envoy lose face, but even the three envoys who accompanied him to meet him also felt that they had lost face. No, they're all bowing their heads and drinking alcohol right now.

"Yo, what's going on? Why are you all listless? Everyone's laughing...... Good evening!"

With this exaggerated greeting, the Emissary of the Porta Empire, Severk. Lando walked into the hall, and the man, who was privately called "a man of no learning and no skill" and "sycophant" by many messengers, greeted everyone with a smile, and regardless of whether the other party wanted to or not, he took the hands of others one by one and shook them violently to show that he was a good young man who was "kind, enthusiastic, energetic, and in his prime".

Today, though, most people aren't in the mood to count him down.

"I said, what's wrong with you?" Lando clapped his hands: "What's the problem? ”

Because it was not a big deal, the envoys who were refused to be received by the emperor told the truth what had happened, especially the Gallo envoys, because he knew about Severik. Lando had a relatively good relationship with His Majesty Cohen, so he looked at him with a pleading eye.

"What's so strange about that?" said Severik. Landu smiled stupidly and scratched his head with his hand: "Don't talk about you, my request for the day before yesterday, yesterday, and today was not approved, and it seems that His Majesty the Emperor doesn't want to see me!"

"Your Excellency is saying that you haven't seen His Majesty the Emperor in the past few days?" the Gallo envoy was a little surprised.

"yes! I thought something was wrong, so I ran to some good friends to inquire. "Severik. Lando lowered his voice, and said mysteriously, "Who knows! The General Staff, the General Liaison, and several other generals refused to see me, but the Chief Justice would not see me, but he would not say anything but drink and eat with me...... He also asked me to pay for the wine. ”

"Not really!" whispered an emissary sitting in the corner, "If it were for the Assassins, His Majesty the Emperor would not have even seen us...... It is strange that His Excellency Severik is also missing. ”

"Except for the Emperor Xià, it seems that ...... Those who don't see the guests are generals......" Another messenger took over, and he said casually, but everyone was startled: "What does this mean......

"Does anyone know where those troops are after the review?" The envoy of the Yunlu Empire stood up and asked with a nervous expression, "How many days has it been since His Majesty the Emperor received us?"

"Those troops are no longer around the Holy Capital, are they? His Majesty the Emperor hasn't shown up for about five days. ”

There was silence in the hall for a while, a few messengers, you look at me, I look at you, and no one spoke.

After this period of contact, everyone knows Cohen. Al Qaida was not as cute as the people of Sbiya thought he would be, and at no time could anyone guess what he was going to do. The army, the generals, and His Majesty the Emperor disappeared for five days...... This definitely doesn't bode well!(To be continued......)
