The next day, Chen Rui received a summons from Shia and came to the palace meeting hall.
Shia didn't speak, but stared at him for a while. When Chen Rui looked a little uneasy, she asked: "It's been a few days since you came back. Has the inheritance of the great master passed?"
"Only half of it is done. As for the other half, it depends on luck. If you are not lucky, the eldest princess can save the salary of the sheriff."[bsp; Chen Rui is indeed right, although
The problem of Poisonous Dragon's treasure has been solved, but there is not much time left before the final and most terrifying stage of becoming a star. This is the biggest test in history, and we don't know whether we will live or die by then.
Thinking of this, Chen Rui himself felt a little heavier. Before that, he had better arrange some things properly.
Xia was very sensitive to the abnormality in Chen Rui's emotions. For some reason, she suddenly felt inexplicable discomfort in her heart.
Chen Rui returned to normal in a moment and said with a smile: "I have already met General George. Although I was almost killed by him, I finally passed this test by luck."
"Really?" Shia's discomfort was replaced by a strange feeling, uncomfortable.
This strange and uncomfortable feeling has never happened before. General George is Athena's father. And Athena's relationship with this man... is already known to everyone in Dark Moon. In fact, with General George
During the meeting, she specifically affirmed Chen Rui's talents, creating a good initial impression in General George's mind.
After all, Shia was not an ordinary woman, and she suddenly realized: Why is she uncomfortable? Isn't General George her biggest supporter?
It’s because things in the Imperial City have been too disturbing recently. Shia took a deep breath and said, “You already know about the sanctions in the Imperial City? This news has been spread all over the Dark Moon, and people’s hearts have begun to fluctuate. I can still control it now. I will wait until the food is ready.
After it is really reduced, it will probably be difficult to deal with. I don’t want to expose the food base unless it is a last resort, because this base has only been built recently and the food reserves are not very large. If the emperor takes action, all our efforts will be wasted."
Chen Rui nodded and explained his idea of using the "strategy" to cover up the food base in the west. Shia took the lead and said: "This idea is similar to mine. This time General George brought someone, who is very interested in the west."
The development of trade routes is of great value."
"Who?" Chen Rui was startled. His father-in-law didn't seem to have said that, but his father-in-law spent more time discussing with Pagliu. At most, he only asked himself about the art of war, and did not mention this matter.
"This man is the heir to the Custer family, the largest business family in the Shadow Empire. He was plotted against and almost killed due to a family dispute. He happened to meet General George who came to the Dark Moon. General George rescued him and brought him to
Here." Shia glanced at Chen Rui: "As long as we can secretly support him to inherit the Custer family business, then the important issues of trade or grain purchase can be solved."
Chen Rui understands that Shia's so-called "support" also means secret control. If this plan can succeed, the benefits will not only solve the current crisis, but also have an unpredictable and huge impact on the future development of Dark Moon.
.
"This matter is very important to Dark Moon, so we need to plan it carefully.
"Chen Rui smiled and said, "Princess, you don't have to worry about sanctions. At least we have the ability to solve it. What we need now is how to survive without leaving a trace. As long as we can survive this sanction safely, then the public will have no worries about the sanctions.
Youhe's dependence on the imperial capital will be greatly weakened, which will be of great help to the eldest princess in winning over people's hearts."
Shia nodded slightly, and Chen Rui added: "Even if we get through this sanction without leaving a trace, I'm afraid the Imperial Capital will still press harder. We must distract the Imperial Capital. I have proposed several plans before, and you can choose from them."
Start preparing for it."
Shia looked surprised: "You mean..."
"The boldest plan has the highest requirements for candidates, but this plan is also very dangerous. Let's wait until I have time to think about it." Chen Rui changed the subject: "I have good news to report to the eldest princess. This time
I went to Youye Wetland and brought all the wyvern tribe there..."
"What!" Shia showed a look of surprise that could not be concealed, a bipedal dragon from a tribe! This means...the Dragoon Legion!
You know, there is only one dragoon legion in the entire Fallen Angel Empire! If Dark Moon also has one...
"I temporarily placed them in Xilang Mountain, and Tim sent people to take care of them." Chen Rui explained vaguely: "The climate in Xilang Mountain is not suitable for flying dragons. The rainy jungle area is remote and dangerous, inaccessible, and the terrain
The weather and climate are very suitable for the reproduction of wyverns. My idea is to establish a secret base in the rainy jungle area, first settle the wyverns, and then gradually select soldiers and train dragoons. However, these selected people must
Be cautious, first of all, test your loyalty, because this is related to Dark Moon's most secret military power. If the news is leaked, the emperor may make big moves, or even launch an attack in advance."
"I understand." Shia nodded, suppressed the ecstasy in her heart, calmly considered for a while, and said: "The candidates for the dragoon will be selected among the Imperial Guards for the time being. I will let Kagulon examine them from many aspects.
Ensure personnel reliability.”
"Not only that, the Guards and the Cloaks are also two important forces. Under the training of Athena and Araux, the Guards eliminated more than half of their people. Although the number of people has decreased, their quality has been greatly improved, and they have gradually taken the lead.
On the right track, Dark Moon has a large population, so we can consider replenishing the supply of soldiers. The cloak will be a force in the dark and must not be ignored. I have already discussed it with Agulie. In the next step, the eldest princess can slowly see the effects.
However, the Cloak Society should properly antagonize other forces under the eldest princess, such as the current Cypher family, so that outsiders can see the disunity of Dark Moon and further paralyze the eyes and ears of the imperial capital."
Out of her trust in Chen Rui, Shia no longer questioned Agulie's identity: "You can go ahead and do whatever it takes about the Cloak Club. I will support it unconditionally."
Chen Rui brought more surprises: "It is now confirmed that Master Tada will stay in Dark Moon. The Cloak Society will open a magic shop with Master Tada in charge. Also, I have mastered the skills through the inheritance of the Grand Master.
After learning some junior master-level casting and armor-making methods, I want to establish a secret armory and secretly recruit some craftsmen to make more sophisticated equipment. No matter how the plan to interfere with the imperial capital is carried out, strengthening our own strength is
The most fundamental priority. However, the current inheritance is not perfect enough. The construction of the ordnance station can be prepared in advance and the specific implementation should wait for the next step."
Master-level casting and armor-making skills! Even a junior master is quite amazing!
Shia was overjoyed, and had a strange feeling in her heart, as if she had just remembered Chen Rui and the inherited skills of the Grand Master. This was originally Shia's original intention to recruit and appoint humans, but with the wisdom and talents of this human being
Show, that] "inheritance" was ignored instead.
Chen Rui then clarified a lot of ideas and explained his plans and arrangements for various aspects. Xia felt that the direction of the future was getting clearer and clearer. While appreciating it, she suddenly felt a trembling feeling in her heart.
Chen Rui really wanted to express all his thoughts. If he didn't say it this time, he would have no chance in the future.
Shia secretly stabilized her mood and changed the topic: "You have brought too many surprises. Now I am a little worried about how to reward you."
Chen Rui's eyes lit up, and he was about to speak, but Xia blocked his attempt with a move in advance: "Except for dancing that 'just,' dance, you can ask for any reward."
The eldest princess actually remembered the content of the last tease so clearly? Chen Rui shrugged helplessly: Any reward? Then a kiss? It seems that the two of them haven't reached this level yet. He doesn't dare to challenge Yu Jie's boss rashly.
limit.
correct……
"Let's do this. Princess, please promise me something."
Chen Rui's weird smile made Xia suddenly feel a little uneasy, but since the words had been spoken, she couldn't show weakness, so she said with a cold face: "You say it."
"Three words", Chen Rui stared boldly into Shia's purple eyes, his eyes a little fiery: "When I say these three words, you can't kill me.
Three words? Could it be...
This hateful man! Do you think you can be so arrogant with "a little" credit? Shia felt angry. For some reason, her heartbeat accelerated a little. There was a trace of redness on her face that she had never seen before, and she shouted: "You are so brave.
!”
"It's not too bold to ask for a word and spare my life." Chen Rui shook his head and sighed: "Besides, I haven't said which three words it is, why are you giving me this evaluation? These three words may
It could be 'Spare my life,' or 'How are you...' If the eldest princess must regret the reward given to me, as a poor subordinate, I have nothing to say."
Shia was even more angry. She didn't know whether she was angry or in other moods. She gritted her teeth and said: "I, Shia Lucifer, swear by my royal blood, when Chen Rui says three words, I will not do it no matter what."
Kill him. But only once!"
"Only once? Hey, okay." Chen Rui scratched his head and said with a smile: "Looking at the situation, it's not the right time yet. I will choose a suitable time and say the right three words. Princess, remember to spare me a little
Life."
"Okay!" Shia had the urge to punch that hateful smile regardless of royal etiquette, and said rudely: "I'm a little tired, you can leave now!"
Chen Rui originally wanted to sell some special services such as fatigue-relieving massage, but if he pushed the iceberg lady into a hurry, I'm afraid those three words would turn into "spare my life" and be immediately wasted.
, then he laughed and bowed away.
This bastard man! Couldn't you just insist on asking for a waltz?
I originally thought that I could reluctantly accept that excessive request, but I didn't know that the guy made an even more extreme request!
Shia felt an inexplicable resentment in her heart. Thinking of those three unknown words, she began to feel a little panicked. However, the pressure caused by the imperial capital's sanctions and a series of incidents that had been bothering her these days had subsided invisibly.
