Chapter 229: The Road to the Throne in Bloom of Blood (8)
(Thanks to the "Shanshu Education" for being promoted to the leader of the alliance, thanks to the "Beginning Le" boss for the 500 starting point coins, and thanks to the "Music Enthusiast" for the 10,000 reward)
"Watch out for Stern King, don't be fooled by his appearance, he's an extremely dangerous figure. Napoleon VII hugged Cheng Mo and gently patted him on the back with his hand, while whispering in his ear.
"I don't think there's anything about the Chosen that isn't dangerous. Cheng Mo hugged back, and then dealt with Napoleon VII's farewell veneer with a somewhat embarrassed expression, even if he didn't feel anything when he was bidding with Stern King in full view just now, he felt a little strange at this moment.
After Napoleon VII let go of his hand, he noticed Cheng Mo's strangeness, smiled slightly, and said: "In France, in France, in addition to showing intimacy between men, there is also a meaning between men, and we ...... It's a circle of ......"
Cheng Mo didn't know how to answer, he was still quite immature for socializing, this was not something that could be taught without a teacher after reading a lot of books, so he could only say nothing and smiled.
Napoleon VII also smiled in response, and then turned to Xie Minyun and said gently: "Hierre, I'm very sorry for the poor hospitality today, if there is anything unsatisfactory, I hope you don't mind." β
Cheng Mo also looked at Xie Minyun on his side, looking at her side face, but thinking in his heart: People always say that the circle determines the height of life, so many people squeeze their heads to get acquainted with high-ranking officials and nobles, hoping to enter a higher-level circle, but they don't know that the circle is the same as the class, only if you meet the conditions, it is possible to enter the circle you want to enter. Just like not long ago, the Japanese aristocrat Saionji Red Pill chose to trade with him, just like now, Napoleon VII chose to cooperate with him, not because he thought Cheng Mo was powerful, but because he was Xie Minyun's husband.
"For a group of people standing at the top of the pyramid, no matter how strong the ability is, it is not the ticket to enter their circle, but the identity and the resources behind the identity are. If Xie Minyun hadn't married him, neither Xiyuan Temple Red Pill nor Napoleon VII would have chosen to cooperate with him, and this trip to Europe would have been much more difficult. Cheng Mo used this to warn himself not to be inflated by Napoleon VII's words, even if it was enough to be proud of associating with a wealthy family like Napoleon VII.
"You are too modest, today's banquet is great, let me spend a pleasant evening, there is time for you and Daiwa to go to Huaxia, Cheng Mo and I will definitely do our best to be landlords. After speaking, Xie Minyun took Cheng Mo's hand.
"If you don't say this, I will definitely go. Napoleon VII smiled, then he waved his hand, and Maurice, who was standing behind him, walked to the front, raised a flannel box with the Napoleon family crest in the size of a photo album in his hand and handed it to Napoleon VII, Napoleon VII took the box and handed it to Cheng Mo, "This is a little wedding gift prepared by Dava and me, I hope you don't mind coming too late....."
Cheng Mo didn't know whether to accept it or not, hesitated for a moment, and turned his head to look at Xie Minyun on the side.
Before Xie Minyun could say anything, Dai Wa took the box from Napoleon VII, stuffed it into Cheng Mo's arms, and said, "Wedding gifts are not allowed to be refused!"
Cheng Mo could only hold the red flannel box in his arms, feeling that the things inside were very light and didn't seem to be very valuable, so Cheng Mo said "thank you".
Xie Minyun also thanked Napoleon VII and said goodbye again, and the two got into a Rolls-Royce, and Jiang Jun, wearing a Taijilong uniform, closed the car door.
In the deep darkness of the night, Napoleon VII stood by the horseshoe steps and watched the black Rolls-Royce slowly drive out of the palette of Fontainebleau.
There are no street lights on the D607 highway, and the thick shadows of the trees outside the window can be seen through the high beams, Xie Minyun pressed the top light, the starry sky top light of Rolls-Royce disappeared, and a bright yellow light was sprinkled, Xie Minyun picked up the red flannel box placed between the two and said, "Look what it is." β
Cheng Mo turned his head and looked over, watching Xie Minyun open the red flannel box, unexpectedly, untie the red silk cloth with a bow, and pick up the lid of the box, inside is an old piece of hard paper full of French, at first glance, it is a row of flowered French, with a few lines of small characters in the middle, and at the bottom there is a string of red seals and the signature of Napoleon VII.
"The title deed of ChΓ’teau Rigge ......," Xie Minyun said with some surprise, "it is still an old chΓ’teau built in 1790 on the right bank of Bordeaux." Xie Minyun turned his head to look at Cheng Mo and said, "The value of this winery is at least more than 25 million euros, which is too expensive to collect, and you have to return it." β
"I didn't have to go back, I did him a big favor. From the perspective of interest exchange, it seems that he is very profitable, but this is because Napoleon VII does not know that he is the chosen one who exceeds the level of thirty-three, if you put this point aside, this time he used the "cross bee" to exchange for something only a small profit, which is a win-win situation with Napoleon VII.
Xie Minyun never asked Cheng Mo what he had talked about with Napoleon VII just now, and he still didn't ask at this time, but just said: "Isn't it appropriate for friends to help each other?"
Cheng was silent and pushed the glasses on the bridge of his nose.
"But since you said so, then let's wait for him to get married and give him a big gift back, you must not engage in any cooperation with the other party in private, this kind of thing has to be decided by the organization. Xie Minyun said earnestly.
"Don't say it, Napoleon VII really wanted to cooperate with us. After a pause, Cheng Mo continued: "He just told me that he can not only give us Asgardian information, but also help operate two Thirty-three Tier 3 Chosen to enter.....
Xie Minyun was stunned for a moment, and then immediately reacted and said: "It's a big deal, I'll tell my uncle ..... first" When he took out his mobile phone and was about to make a call, Xie Minyun stopped again and looked at Cheng Mo, "It's better for you to tell Instructor Bai." β

Napoleon VII returned to the dark room and began to pack up the books on the table, and when he had finished arranging all the books, a knife-carved head appeared on the table.
Huo Ran is the most famous mustache in the world.
Napoleon VII stroked the uneven lines with his hand, staring at him intently, when the air behind him trembled slightly, like surging ripples, the old-fashioned incandescent light bulb swayed slightly in mid-air, the burning tungsten filament flashed twice as if it had been short-circuited, the room entered a fleeting alternation of light and dark, and after the electric light had stabilized, a huge black shadow appeared on the crimson wooden floor, and then a dull greeting came from German: "I didn't expect that one day we would meet here." β
The sound was mixed with a heavy inhalation, like a man's gasp after a long run, and there seemed to be a faint fog in the claustrophobic dark room.
Napoleon VII did not look back, but clenched the golden scepter in his hand, moved his eyes to stare at the mountain-like reflection on the table, and replied in German: "Isn't the interesting thing about this world that it is 'unexpected'?"
"To tell you the truth, I'd rather see you in the gladiatorial arena than in a dark room that has been silent for almost two hundred years. The shadow turned his head, and the sound of iron grinding could be heard in the air, "It seems that you are still indulging in the glory of the past, but you don't even dare to accept Joseph's challenge, which is too disappointing." β
Napoleon VII smiled, dragged the chair beside him lightly with one hand, and turned to the other party to make a gesture of invitation.
The man under the incandescent lamp wears a gas mask with a double filter, but unlike the usual double filter on both sides of the cheeks, the two large and small filters are arranged up and down, like a broken beak, the gas mask is sewn from brown cowhide, the rough stitches crawl on it like centipedes, and the eyes are not protected by clear lenses, but two copper lens barrels like microscope objectives. What's even more bizarre is that the gas mask is not fully enclosed, but is tied to the opponent's huge head by five belts. The man's forehead was a silver alloy that extended to the top of his head, and then a patch of golden fluff.
Napoleon VII looked at the mysterious man whose chosen one, named "0", was actually the leader of the Eighty-Eight Knights of Teuton, and said: "If you want to win a gladiatorial fight, you don't have to be in the gladiatorial arena, and I am not a person who cares about the outcome of one or two gladiatorial battles. ββ
"Really?" the other snorted, then flicked his thick leather trench coat and sat down in his chair, even if he was sitting, he was not much shorter than Napoleon VII who was standing, and he rested his black all-metal hand on the table, just on the edge of the mustache head, and began to beat the thick oak table rhythmically, "It seems that I was the first to arrive, and your people lack a little sense of time." β
"Zero, it's because you're in a hurry, you're too early, and it's still three minutes before twelve o'clock. A clear voice rang out from the entrance to the dark room, and a young blonde man dressed in a blue court suit and carrying a red ribbon walked down the spiral staircase.
"It's different to inherit the title, and I speak louder. Zero said mockingly.
"It's better than someone hiding behind a mask and not daring to show his true face. The man responded.
"Let's spend our time on business, don't waste our words, everyone's time is precious right now. Another man appeared at the entrance to the dark room, and the elegant Prince Akeem followed.
"Yes, this is probably the last time we can get together before we act, so don't waste time. Prince Albert II of Morocco followed, followed by Prince Pierre Casiraci of Morocco, Prince Philip of Sweden and Prince Marius of Norway.
The last to enter was Amidio, who had just lost the gladiatorial fight, and he turned his back to pull the door shut, leaving the room for a moment with the creak of stairs and heavy footsteps.
A crowd sat around a small, scratched table, and it was hard to imagine Europa's most famous royal family almost gathered here, in a closed and dull hint.
Everyone's expressions were not relaxed, like 100-meter sprinters waiting with bated breath for the starting gun to go off.
Only the sound of Zero's black metal fingers tapping on the table sounded, "Da Da Da" like a pendulum counting down.
"When, when, when!" the real bell rang from outside the darkroom.
The bell rang at twelve o'clock.
After the twelfth ring, Napoleon VII said in a deep voice: "Europa today is an electric fan hanging over our heads, although it is loud enough to even crumble, but the capitalists still turn a blind eye, but what we have to do is not to destroy it completely, what we have to do is to try to eliminate the corrupt parts, the globalization, immigration and free trade ..... that have prevailed for a long time and exist in the liberal consciousness."
Zero sneered and said, "That's your purpose...... Not mine. β
"There's no need for Zero to be too extreme, too extreme will cause unnecessary trouble, Europa's machine has been broken for too long, and too much force will destroy him. Napoleon VII said earnestly.
"Disagreement is inevitable, and when the time comes, you don't care what I do in Germany, and I don't care what you do in your country!" Zero's voice came from the canister, like a heartbeat in a stethoscope.
"We Europa are a whole, and now we don't mean that we can ignore it, and if you are too aggressive, you will definitely give Stargate an excuse to intervene!" said Prince Akeem.
"Do you mean that if I wasn't aggressive, Stargate wouldn't have intervened?"
"As long as it's not so aggressive, at least there's room for maneuver. Prince Akim said.
"Do you know why I agreed to cooperate with you? not for any bullshit rights, but for us to have the final say, so that we have the strength to protect ourselves, I am not a politician, I just want to get rid of the thieves who occupy our land, and of course, let our Chosen One stand in the sun, we have been hiding in the shadows for too long, there is no need to hide so carefully....." Zero stopped banging on the table and instead said loudly with his fist against the table.
"Of course, that's our goal, but we have to take it one step at a time, and everything starts with a little bit, nothing can be done overnight!" said Napoleon VII, frowning as he stared at the two barrels of Zero.
"You can take your time, but I won't, as long as it's an enemy..... I'm going to have to kill them all, without compromise. Zero said as he looked at Napoleon VII confrontedly.
"It's not the same as we started talking about. Prince Philip stood up propped up on the table and glared at Zero.
Zero also stood up, he was much taller than Prince Philip, completely hiding Prince Philip in the shadows, he looked down at Prince Philip and said: "How is it different, didn't you say that you want to show ordinary people the great strength of our Chosen One, so that they can feel awe? Didn't you say that you want to break the false lie of equality first, and let everyone realize that this world has never been equal? Isn't it that you said that you want to establish a new model of rule based on the Chosen One? There is no need to worry too much about the army, Europa's army is a mess, as long as we can get the students who march in the streets to attract the attention of the army, they don't pose any danger to us, as long as we can encircle the Chosen One of all the other organizations in Christianfeld, Europa will surely achieve the greatest revival....."
Zero waved his hand, and a flash of fire shot at the map hanging in the center of the wall, and Europa's location instantly burned, "History will remember this moment because today..... It's the biggest day not only for Europa, but for the whole world as well. β
