In the eastern suburbs of the city, X. Drake stood outside the iron gate of the Sheriff's Department, looking forward to it.
As for why he is here, it is shameful to say that because his eldest brother was caught engaging in prostitution again...
I entered the police station last night and was detained for one night. After paying a fine, I could be released in the morning.
Squeak~
At eight o'clock in the morning, the iron gate opened, and Wen Xi walked out of the Public Security Bureau with a depressed look on his face.
After seeing X. Drake, he immediately gushed and complained:
"Nima, this is so evil. The Public Security Bureau just happened to catch me in five raids against pornography. Did that bastard Lu Qi send someone to follow me? It's really abominable. I've been treating guests to dinner many times in vain..."
x·Drake: "..."
(￢_￢;), you were present during the five porn raids, shouldn’t you reflect on yourself?
A big brother like this...
Alas, it's hard to explain in one sentence. Fortunately, prostitution is not a serious crime. He is only detained for one day and fined 100,000 beli. Otherwise, Wenxi might have been jailed.
Wen Xi didn't notice a trace of disgust in his younger brother's eyes, and was still nagging:
"I think there is something wrong with the kingdom's laws in this regard. Why is it illegal to solicit prostitutes, but you don't have to go to jail or be fined for cheating on a mistress? This is totally unreasonable..."
X. Drake: "..."
Makes sense...
Oops, he actually started to identify with the idiot. This sign is too dangerous.
Wen Xi was indignant: "Cheating, cheating, and keeping mistresses should be punished and severely punished. They should be fined and punished to death!"
"..."
"Uh, Derek, why didn't you say anything? Do you think I'm quibbling?"
"...No, no, what brother said makes so much sense. It's a genius suggestion. I think you can write to the Ministry of Justice to give some feedback."
X. Derleth recovered from his confusion and hurriedly apologized with a smile.
Although he is MMP in his heart.
When Wen Xi heard the compliment from his younger brother, he scratched his head and said a little embarrassedly: "You also think I am a genius? I actually think so too. I have a deep understanding, understanding and thinking about the shortcomings of the kingdom's laws...
But you should keep a low profile and don’t publicize that I am a genius everywhere."
X. Drake: "..."
(?_?)
Got it, from now on you should always praise yourself as a genius when you meet others, right?
Wen Xi put his arms around his younger brother's shoulders, walked forward with a smile on his face, and said:
"Xiao Dezi, let's go. My eldest brother is out of jail today. I'm very happy. I'll treat you to a big dinner later."
X. Drake: "..."
I understand, the eldest brother has just been released from prison and is not in a good mood, so he has to take the initiative to pay the bill after the meal. He must not make the eldest brother sad and spend money...
Ah, what the hell!
After working undercover for half a year, Derek had already figured out Wen Xi's virtues.
Even if he farts, he already knows what he ate last night.
It's a pity that it's useless to try it thoroughly.
Wen Xi is very proficient in eating, drinking, prostitution and gambling, but he is also shameless and has no moral integrity at all.
His whole body was rotten, and the mud could not hold him up against the wall, but it made it impossible for people to catch him.
As the saying goes, if a tree doesn't have its bark, it will definitely die; if a person has no shame, it will be invincible. If it is rotten and has no face, what can you do to it?
X. Drake reported anonymously many times that he had neglected his duties, but it was useless.
Wen Xi is one of the elders of the Lionheart Pirates. Except for Rob Lucci who likes to tease him, the big bosses in the kingdom will give him some bad treatment.
"Xiao Dezi, the lifelong general has returned with a great victory. He is planning to hold a small private celebration party tomorrow. I will definitely go there to support him. Therefore, the official affairs of the Propaganda and Organization Department tomorrow..."
"I understand, I will definitely handle it properly."
"Haha, very good... Calculate the time, the fleet led by Brother Xiliu can return to Juggernaut Island the day after tomorrow, and I will definitely go to pick him up, so——"
"I understand. I will definitely take care of the official business these days."
"Haha, very good... Um, I forgot to mention that next week is Princess Reiju's birthday. I will definitely spend some time preparing gifts to congratulate you, so next week's business-"
"..."
"Hey, why didn't you say anything? Do you dislike my elder brother?"
"No, no, the eldest brother has a heavy responsibility and has many things to do every day. I can understand that he can't spare time. I will leave the trivial matters in the Propaganda and Organization Department to the younger brother."
"Hahahaha, you kid is on the road, my elder brother doesn't always love you in vain."
X. Drake: "..."
(????), shit.
Can he hit someone?
Excuse me, can he blow Wen Xi’s head off?
When you work overtime, you always have him, and when you eat, drink, and have fun, you never call him.
If you treat him to a meal occasionally, he still pays...
If he hadn't been an undercover agent and had to keep a low profile and be patient, X. Drake would have been able to choke the bastard Wen Xi to death.
He had never worked so hard when he was a rear admiral.
"Stop talking, let's take a walk and eat first."
"Okay, big brother."
At the entrance of the Public Security Bureau, Wen Xi and
Fourth floor, director's office.
The werewolf Gabra stood by the window, looking down at the two people drifting away below, shook his head and said:
"Why not just arrest the undercover agent planted by the navy? Instead, let Wen Xi hang."
"The reason why spies are so harmful is because they are hidden. Spies whose identities have been exposed are not called spies, they are just meat on the chopping board."
Lu Qi, with dark circles under his eyes, sat behind his desk, sorting out a pile of documents that were higher than his head, and said without raising his head.
Keeping X. Drake is far more valuable than capturing him directly.
Now that the identity of the other party's spy is known, there are too many ways to play and use it. For example, the kingdom can accidentally "leak" some information to the navy through X. Drake, and even develop him into a spy without knowing it.
Double agent.
Not surprisingly, x. Drake can successfully "lurk" in the Lionheart Kingdom for a long time, as long as he is still valuable.
I won’t mention the dirty tricks involved.
Gabra nodded, as if he had thought of something, his face looked a little solemn:
"Recently, espionage activities on the island have been somewhat rampant, and infiltration from various forces, especially the CP agency and the Navy's intelligence agency, has suddenly intensified a lot."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Lu Qi then raised his head, glanced at him, and said, "Is this why you came here today?"
Gabra sneered and nodded: "Someone is planning to bribe me. It's mysterious. I'm hanging on to see if I can conduct reverse reconnaissance and infiltration."
"Let me know if you need any support."
Lu Qi also had a sneer on his face. Compared to Gabra, his smile was more cunning and cruel, making people shudder like a poisonous snake lurking in the shadows.
Recently, there has been an undercurrent in the Lion Heart Kingdom, with spies, killers and spies trained by various forces pouring in.
Their disguises are diverse, including ordinary tourists, little pirates, gangsters, gangsters, vagabonds, circuses, socialites, folklorists, famous singers... covering almost all walks of life, with a large number of people and complex sources.
The Public Security Bureau and the Secret Service arrested batch after batch of spies, but they still could not stop the madness of those people.
"There is nothing we can do, the big tree attracts the wind."
Gabra sighed, feeling a little headache and a little proud, "We have done too many great things that shocked the world during this period."
Admiral Fujitora led his troops to intercept the Big Mom Pirates and successfully forced Big Mom back, making him famous all over the world.
Admiral Ame no Kiryu led his troops to Onigashima, during which he confronted the red-haired pirates and fought with the navy headquarters, which caused an uproar throughout the world.
His Majesty Ren even entered the Holy Land single-handedly, destroying half of Mariejoia in an instant, and the world was shocked...
Three major events that shocked the world, involving six top powers including the Beast Pirates, the Red-haired Pirates, the Big Mom Pirates, the Nine Snakes Pirates, the Navy Headquarters and the World Government, all with their lion hearts.
Kingdom related…
One can imagine how noisy public opinion at sea is now.
The situation inside the kingdom is a bit better and generally stable, but outside it has long been noisy.
The terrifying strength displayed by the Lionheart Kingdom has made many people realize that another true world hegemon has been born.
Except for those shady spies, there was an endless stream of people coming to the Lionheart Kingdom during this period, with various purposes and calculations. In order to deal with them, everyone was a little exhausted.
Lu Qi, the director of the Public Security Bureau, had dark circles under his eyes.
This is also the reason why X. Drake is so angry and hateful towards Wen Xi.
There have been a lot of things going on recently, and everyone is almost too busy. Wen Xi is fine, but he still eats, drinks, goes whoring, and gambles, leaving all the work to him.
…………
Hongye Hotel, top floor.
In the private room, a table of dishes has been ordered, including cold meats with sausages, mushroom salad, curry beef brisket, grilled beef tenderloin with black pepper sauce, pan-fried lamb chops, spicy chicken breast, seabass in tomato sauce... all kinds of delicious food are making people eat.
Big move.
However, X. Drake felt uninterested when he thought that he had to pay for this table himself.
Treat me, please be paralyzed.
There are also prepared cocktails, juices, red wine and other drinks on the table.
"Come, celebrate my release from prison today, cheers." Wen Xi picked up a bottle of mellow and sweet champagne and clinked a glass with his younger brother.
"cheers."
X. Drake clinked a drink with him, with a smile on his face but no worries in his heart. He even wanted to hit someone.
When will these miserable days end?
The depression was only momentary. He soon regained his composure when he thought that he was the most successful and senior spy deployed by the Navy Headquarters within the Lionheart Kingdom, shouldering extremely important historical missions and arduous tasks.
After drinking a few drinks, seeing that the atmosphere at the wine table was good, X. Drake forced a happy smile on his face and asked casually:
"Has His Majesty the King returned?"
"The Emperor, he should be... back." Wen Xi scratched his head and said a little uncertainly.
Drake: "..."
(?_?), you don’t even know this, how dare you call yourself the number one scoundrel under Emperor Rennes?
"Emperor Renn" is a title given by the people, with a bit of ridicule. It is probably because the people of the Lionheart Kingdom feel that their king is too arrogant, so they can only use the word "Great Emperor" to describe him.
A few days ago, as soon as this title came out, it quickly became popular all over the sea.
The origin of this title really has something to do with Wen Xi. He snatched a phone bug during the War on the Top. During this period, he kept talking nonsense and said a lot of things like "My captain Renn has the qualifications of an emperor".
Drake was a little disappointed when he couldn't find out about Ren's whereabouts, but it was also expected.
He joined the Lion Heart Kingdom only half a year ago, but because there was Wen Xi, the leader above his head, occupying the manhole, he was not qualified to go to the palace to discuss politics as a deputy, so he had not met the swordsman Renn a few times.
And except for the early morning court at the palace, it is difficult to see the shadow of the king.
The swordsman Ren is a real dragon that never sees its end. Even Shiru of the Rain, Barrett and Nana can hardly tell what he does every day and where he stays.
Moreover, even if you can go to the palace to discuss politics now, you can't see Ren anymore.
He has basically handed over the government affairs to the queen-to-be, Princess Reiju of the Vinsmoke family.
Four days ago, Ren invaded the holy land of Mariejoia. When the news came, the senior officials of the Lionheart Kingdom were equally confused, because many people did not know that the king had gone to the Red Earth Continent.
Even General Barrett didn't know about it, and afterwards he complained that the boss didn't take him with him when he went to do trouble...
X. Drake was also helpless when encountering such a strange king.
He really wasn't lazy and tried almost every method to get close to Ren and get information about him, but so far he had gained very little.
After all, you can't even meet or find anyone, so why are you talking about getting information?
When I asked others, they were confused.
X. Drake took a slight breath to calm down his depressed mood, remembered the order from the Navy Headquarters, and asked instead:
"Brother, do you know why His Majesty Ren attacked Mary Joa?"
"God knows."
Wen Xi ignored his image and wiped out the delicacies on the table. His mouth was full of oil as he ate, and he said vaguely, "Maybe I'm bored."
Drake: "..."
It's okay to be bored.
"Then why did Your Majesty take away Bartholomew Bear?"
"How could I know this?"
"I heard that Xiong might be a revolutionary soldier..."
"Stop! Why do you have so many questions? You're like a curious baby."
Wen Xi glared at his younger brother and said impatiently, "In our Propaganda and Organization Department, we eat and drink every day... Well, just work hard every day. What do you care about these mailings?"
x·Drake: "..."
(▼ plate▼#)
Do you think everyone is just like you? You eat, drink, whore, gamble, and wait to die every day.
"Seeing as you are so curious about these things, how about I transfer you to the intelligence department?" Wen Xi said carelessly.
"real?"
X. Drake pretended to be calm and asked casually, but his eyes shone slightly.
He didn't want to stay in an agency like the Propaganda and Organization Department. Only by breaking into the intelligence department could he, as an undercover agent, have a chance to steal confidential information.
Wen Xi burped and said, "Of course it's... fake."
"..."
"Hahahaha... Don't be so exaggerated. Just kidding. I can't bear to let go of your down-to-earth and capable little brother. I also want to pass on the position of minister to you after my death."
X. Drake: "..."
(╬▔盘▔)
Is there poison?
He really wanted to kill the pig.
As long as Wen Xi is here, he may not be able to get ahead in his life and will be ruthlessly squeezed.
And there is no doubt that the mission assigned to him by his superiors failed again. He almost didn't ask for any important information.
………
Two o'clock in the afternoon.
Lionheart Palace, the main hall of political affairs.
Reiju wears a crown and sits on the silver throne. She wears an elegant white lace dress, inlaid with a large number of beautiful crystals and pearls. The lace on the skirt is decorated with floral embroidery technology, which is full of gorgeousness and nobility.
She also wears a blue diamond necklace around her neck, which is a perfectly divided heart-shaped pendant. Its luster is as bright as the blue sky and the sea. The snow-white dress paired with those crystal clear jewelry crystals makes her fair skin look even more frosty.
Sai Xue, radiant.
Noble, elegant and peerless, Reiju, who temporarily takes the position of Queen of the Lion Heart Kingdom, is more beautiful than ever.
In the splendid hall, there were several rows of ministers standing, and Wen Xi, who had been released from prison, was among them.
Reijiu sat on the throne with a cold expression, like an arrogant and powerful iceberg queen. However, when listening to the reports of everyone below, a hint of helplessness sometimes flashed in her eyes.
She didn't want to be like this, but Ren didn't want to take care of things, so he semi-forced her to supervise the country and listen to the government, and pushed her into the position of queen.
The ministers and even the people don't have much opinion on this.
After all, most people think that she is just a puppet queen, a tool who handles government affairs for the wayward emperor.
A few people complained, and it was because her identity was not legitimate.
She did not marry Ren, and the two did not hold a wedding and go through the basic ceremonies and procedures. Although many people called her queen, in fact, the Lionheart Kingdom did not have a legal queen, or even a real harem.
Strictly speaking, there is only one person in the royal family, Ren.
"Queen, lifelong admiral, Lieutenant General Yamato successfully repelled the Bigmom pirates this time and enhanced the military power of our kingdom's navy. He should be rewarded." Foreign Minister Wen Xi said.
Reijiu thought for a moment and said in a cold voice:
"This is what it should be. Lieutenant General Yamato is included in the Kingdom's admiral waiting list, and will be recorded as a second-level meritorious service. An admiral will be eligible to enter the Mumeiryu Kendokan Kongkyu Tea Room once in his lifetime, and will be recorded as a second-level meritorious service...
…The rest of the officers and soldiers will be rewarded according to their military merit.”
"Thank you Queen!" x2
In the main hall, Uncle Yisheng and Yamato bowed slightly and said loudly, seeming to be in a good mood.
Needless to say, the waiting list for admiral is very precious and requires not only strength but also a lot of merit.
As for entering Mu Ming Ryu, Kendo Hall, and Kongjing Tea Room once, it is actually the qualification to consult Ren face to face once.
The sword master's advice is priceless.
These days, the story of Ren defeating most of the elite members of the Beast Pirates on Onigashima with a sword attack has finally been slowly leaked out.
In addition, he broke into Mariejoia alone and conquered all enemies... As a result, many swordsmen from all over the world came to the Sword Master Island these days, just to see the sword master's style and seek advice on the peerless swordsmanship.
One of them took out a large sharp sword as a gift, just to ask for advice from the sword master, but he was still rejected.
"Is this reward too high?"
"Judging from the results, we just forced the Bigmom Pirates back, so we don't deserve such a reward. However, there are exceptions to everything. This battle lets the world know that the combat effectiveness of our kingdom's navy is not inferior to that of the Navy Headquarters, which is of great significance."
"It's a great victory in the first battle, a good start, I understand."
The ministers discussed it in low voices, but no one objected.
The kingdom's naval institution was established not long ago, and it was in urgent need of a victory to inspire people and prove itself. Otherwise, Yamato and his two people would not be able to get such a reward for their achievements.
Foreign Minister Wen Xi added:
"King Elizabello II of the Kingdom of Proteus has arrived with his military advisor Vasco da Gama. He wants to visit the Queen tomorrow. Do you want to receive her?"
"Kingdom of Prodence, Elizabello II?" Yamato looked confused and said he had never heard of it.
Mr.3 pushed up his glasses and said: "I know, he is the king who knows the "Fist of the King". It is said that after one hour of charging, he can penetrate the enemy's fortress with one blow. He is even said to be able to kill with one punch.
The Four Emperors."
"Kill the Yonko with one punch? You can brag and write some drafts." The werewolf Gabra said disdainfully.
Even the generals of the kingdom could not defeat the Four Emperors with one blow.
"That's right, it's said that the Kingdom of Prodence is near the Kingdom of Dressrosa. It's so powerful. Wouldn't Tenyasha be scared to the point of pissing himself?"
"Ha ha……"
Everyone laughed dumbly, not believing that the "King's Fist" was so powerful.
Moreover, it takes an hour to accumulate power before the Fist of the King is activated, and the hit rate is unknown, which is too useless.
Wen Xi said that for an hour, he was able to beat Elizabello II to death with his self-created "Top Boxing".
"Okay, be quiet."
Leijiu asked everyone to calm down, looked at Wen Xi, and said: "I will take the time to discuss with Elizabeth II, and the organization department will arrange the time."
It doesn't matter how powerful Fist of the King is, this skill has too many weaknesses.
However, the Kingdom of Prodence is a country after all, and their king and military advisor are visiting together, so they still have to receive them.
Only by establishing diplomatic relations with other countries and having economic and trade exchanges can the influence of the Lionheart Kingdom be radiated outwards.
Then, various major issues were brought up for discussion.
"Queen, there is good news from Sphinx Island. 'Phoenix' Margao, 'Diamond' Jozi and others accepted the dukedom awarded to Edward Newgate by the Kingdom, and the Principality of Sphinx was established...
…The principality is under the banner of the United Kingdom of Lionheart, and they will come to see the queen in a while…”
"The Queen, Grand Duke Gaji is preparing to return to the North Sea. The fleet of the Vinsmoke Kingdom is ready to go. He is applying for the support and cooperation of the United Kingdom Navy."
"The Queen, many countries and forces have submitted marriage requests to the royal family of the United Kingdom (Ren), and donated many beauties. So far, a total of 1,228 people..."
"Queen, I implore you to get married to the Emperor as soon as possible, and to expand the Emperor's harem and revitalize the royal family's population."
"Second, the emperor currently has no heirs, the queen's position has not been determined, and the royal family has no legal heir. This is really a taboo."
"I suggest changing the name of the country. The kingdom is no longer suitable. It should be changed to the Lion Heart Empire."
"No, it should be the Lion-Hearted Republic."
…
The situation has been turbulent recently, and the kingdom is developing rapidly, so there are many major issues to discuss.
The ministers did not always agree with each other, and from time to time someone would argue with his colleagues and become red-faced and spittle flying.
A world hegemon, a huge empire, involves too many interests and struggles.
Even within the Lionheart Kingdom, there are factions and infighting.
For example, the Waiqin Faction is the Vinsmoke clan headed by Gaji. Their ambition is to entrust the North Sea to the Vinsmoke family after the kingdom replaces the government in the future.
The foreign relatives faction is very strong because the acting queen Reiju was born in the Germa Kingdom.
Reiju was the only woman who had a physical relationship with Wren, not counting Stussy, who never actually climbed into his bed.
Ever since Ren promoted Reiju to the position of queen, Gaji was so excited that he almost had a stroke. These days, this guy seems to be walking like a stranger.
He himself was equally ambitious and formulated a grand plan to dominate and even occupy the entire North Sea.
However, the march into the North Sea is a big deal, and the kingdom's top officials have not yet made a final decision on it.
Reiju was sitting on the throne, patiently and carefully handling every major national event.
If she really couldn't make up her mind, she would inform Ren, or discuss it with some important officials in the study.
The political discussion lasted from two o'clock in the afternoon to six o'clock in the evening. In this way, many things still could not be discussed and settled, and they will continue tomorrow morning.
As the sun set in the west, the sunset glow dyed half of the sky red, and a dark blue night gradually replaced the blue sky. In the cool evening breeze, the ministers left the palace in groups.
"it is finally over."
Reiju stood up from the throne and sighed, with a hint of exhaustion on her beautiful face.
Really, how can you have such a boyfriend? He leaves the important affairs of the country to a woman, but he doesn’t know where he went.
The key is that I don’t want to marry her yet…
Queen Reiju, led by several maids, walked towards her palace through the garden planted with many green plants and flowers.
Just when a group of people walked to the rockery in the garden, a cold and murderous aura suddenly appeared, and several birds on the tree fluttered their wings and flew away in fright!
Bang!!
The cold light burst out, and the rockery instantly broke into several pieces, and the huge rocks roared and hit Reijiu and his party!
At the same time, several strange black shadows jumped out from behind the rockery or grass like lightning, and the bloody evil smell filled their nostrils. The swords in the hands of the assassins danced under the moonlight, and wisps of sword light tore through the night!
The assassination was so sudden that Reiju jumped back, grabbing the two maids and retreating.
But there were still two unlucky maids left in the same place. One of them screamed and was beaten to death by a stone, while the other was dismembered by the sword energy without even uttering a scream. For a moment, the residual limbs flew everywhere, and large areas of bright red blood appeared.
The beads bloom beautifully in the moonlight!
"You guys leave quickly!"
Reiju became angry, took off the crown on her head, threw it at the assassin at the front, and at the same time told the two panicked maids around her to run away.
She is so powerful that the crown shoots out at high speed like a golden cannonball, the air roaring along the way.
clang!
The assassin swung the dagger sideways in his hand, and a cold light several meters long cut through the void and split the golden crown away, and sparks shot out in an instant!
Subsequently, several pieces of gravel kicked by Reijiu were also chopped into pieces by several other assassins.
The men in black all have sharp sword skills and murderous aura. They are obviously well-trained.
The leading assassin sneered: "At this time, you actually want to let the maid leave first, how benevolent a woman is."
As soon as the words fell, two cold lights suddenly appeared behind them. The two maids who retreated in panic were stagnant in their steps. Blood spurted out from their chests and they were pierced by silver blades!
Plop, plop!
The two corpses fell to the ground, and from behind, two men in black held up blood-stained sharp blades, blocking Reijiu's retreat.
There were four people in front and two behind, forming a double-team. The strangest thing was that such a big movement did not alert the patrolling guards.
Seeing that all the maids were killed, Reijiu's eyes were filled with anger and she said coldly:
"Very good, you'd better be lucky that your identity and origins won't be revealed at all, otherwise don't think you're the only one who will be crushed to death!"
These words made the leading assassin tremble slightly, obviously a little scared.
He himself is a desperado and has nothing to fear, but...
"Queen of Vase, let's see if you can survive!"
The leading assassin sneered, raised his sword and struck down, and the bright sword light of more than ten feet fell towards Reijiu's head!
Swish!!
At the same time, the other five assassins also launched an attack. Five cold and sharp rays of light penetrated the night. They waved their weapons and stabbed at Reijiu's body from various tricky angles. The terrifying murderous intent blocked her movement!
Intelligence showed that as an acting queen, she was unable and inconvenient to bring weapons and combat uniforms when she went to court to discuss politics, so she was doomed.
Blocked by the killing machine and the blade, Reijiu's breath stagnated, but her expression did not change. Her beautiful blue eyes were instantly filled with blood...
