When Lin Qi rushed to the school, he happened to hear the bell ringing for class. He pushed open the classroom door, and Professor Coen, who was sitting behind the podium and wanted to say something, saw Lin Qi and immediately waved his hand:
"There are no new courses today. You can go to the library and read more by yourself! Lin Qi, you guy, I have been waiting for you for a long time!"
Grabbing Lin Qi's hand, Professor Kouen pulled Lin Qi out of the classroom without any rebuttal. All Lin Qi's classmates looked at the two of them curiously - when did Lin Qi and Professor Kouen become so good?
Friendship? For three whole years, I didn’t notice it!
"Hey, hey, Professor Kouen, what are you doing?" Lin Qi shouted: "I just went to Jin..."
Professor Kouen covered Lin Qi's mouth and shouted in a low voice: "Shut up and follow me to a place. You have to study for a whole year in school. I will use all my means to make you
You have learned many things that the future Imperial Finance Minister should learn!"
Lin Qi's face twitched into a ball, and he muttered in a low voice: "But Professor, do I look like the material of the Minister of Finance?"
Coen looked Lin Qi up and down for a while, and he shrugged: "It's not like it is now. Wait for you to pass thirty years, wait for you to gain another hundred to one hundred and fifty pounds, wait for you to be attracted by women and wine.
After emptying your body, when the bags under your eyes hang down, you will look like a real Chancellor of the Exchequer!"
Lin Qi was dragged out by the skinny Kouen. Lin Qi helplessly followed his steps and looked at Kouen bitterly: "But, dear Professor Kouen, why is it me? Why is it me?
?I feel that it is difficult for me to undertake the arduous and glorious task of the Imperial Finance Minister. Aren’t you afraid that I will empty the Empire’s purse?”
Cohen laughed nonchalantly: "Empty the empire's purse? What does that have to do with me? Where can I find a minister of finance who is not corrupt? Is he still a qualified minister of finance if he is not corrupt? This is something that the emperor is worried about. With me
It’s irrelevant.”
Glancing at Lin Qi sideways, Coen squinted and smiled strangely: "As for why it's you, why it's you, that's because... I've been a professor at the Fifth University for several years, and you are secretly trying to
The student who bribed me the most with all those messy methods! This proves that you have talent, pursuit, and enthusiasm in this area, so of course I will make you a key candidate for training!"
Lin Qi was dumbfounded. Is Coen joking? He must be joking!
Just because Lin Qi gave him enough bribes, he planned to cultivate Lin Qi to become the future imperial finance minister? This old guy must be bragging! But thinking about what happened in front of the Iron Wall Bank just now, Cohen may not
Not bragging? Then he must be crazy. Only a madman would think of pushing a student who has not yet graduated to the throne of the Imperial Finance Minister!
Thirty years. Such a long time! God knows what kind of person Lin Qi has become after thirty years?
Maybe he has achieved his life goal, he has become the emperor of the dark world of the Western Continent! How could Lin Qi at that time take the position of Finance Minister of the Gallic Empire to his heart?
However, look at Professor Kouen's excited pointed face, look at his shining triangular eyes, and then think about all the weird and deviant things he has done for Lin Qi in the past three years, but they have indeed given Lin Qi a lot.
What a bad idea. Lin Qi sighed and followed Professor Kouen out of the school honestly.
"You will always meet some unreliable people in your life! But this is damn fate! As long as you treat him as a friend or a brother, no matter how unreliable he is, when he needs help, you...
As a friend or a brother, if you don't help him, are you still his friend or his brother?"
Lin Qi clearly remembered Blackbeard's words. This was many years ago, when Lin Qi was probably only five or six years old. Blackbeard suddenly left home with people for two months, and then returned to Dun'er with a corpse.
At this moment, he said something to Lin Qi when he held the funeral for the corpse.
That man was Blackbeard's bad friend. He was Blackbeard's old friend, a romantic young literary man, a poet who was slightly famous in the north. He didn't listen to Blackbeard's advice and fell in love with an equally romantic man.
The noble lady, and then there is a very old-fashioned and very bloody story. The noble lady kills people and silences them, and Blackbeard leads the family's good hands to come out and kill the two families to which the noble lady and her husband belong.
Completely leveled.
From that day on, the young Lin Qi had some fear of women; from that day on, Lin Qi knew that it was helpless for you to encounter some people and some things, but if you did, it was fate.
So Lin Qi let Kou En pull him out. He wanted to see what special teachings Kou En had arranged for him. Anyway, Kou En's life plan for Lin Qi still had thirty years. Look at Kou En's behavior.
This skinny and shriveled figure won't live for another thirty years. When the time comes, Lin Qi will just slap her butt and deny it!
Kouen enthusiastically grabbed Lin Qi and rushed forward. He grabbed Lin Qi's wrist tightly and led him straight to the back door of Victory Palace. In a private house near the back door, the two of them changed into a pair of clothes.
A cloak. In Lin Qi's astonished eyes, Kouen took out a small golden coat of arms and hung it on his chest. Then he led Lin Qi into the Victory Palace unobstructed. Those who stood there
The palace guard at the back door didn't seem to see Kouen, as if he and Lin Qi didn't exist at all.
Following the path in the garden of Victory Palace, the two of them strode to the study of Victory Palace and hid in a secret room behind a row of bookshelves in the study.
This is a small secret room with a radius of only a few meters. It is filled with all kinds of gorgeous clothes. They are gorgeous and frivolous. They should be the favorite clothes of noble playboys in their twenties and thirties. Lin Qi can't figure out why.
Next to the study room of Victory Palace, next to the study room where His Majesty the Emperor works, there is such a secret room that does not look very reliable.
What's more, Lin Qi noticed that in the corner of the secret room, there were actually a few pink bras thrown around. If Lin Qi saw it right, those transparent bras with fringed edges and inlaid with gorgeous lace,
It should be the most intimate clothing for young girls.
Lin Qi was a little crazy. Why do these bras appear here? It makes no sense at all!
Cohen pushed away a clothes hanger. Behind the clothes hanger was a thick mirror. Through the mirror, you could see everything that happened in the study. His Majesty the Emperor was sitting on the throne, extremely majestic and with several gray-haired ministers.
What are they discussing?
This is a special one-way mirror. You can see the movement in the study from the secret room, but you cannot see the secret room from the study. Moreover, there are exquisitely designed sound transmission holes, so you can hear all the conversations between the emperor and the ministers.
Be clear.
Now the old man, who was wearing a heart-covering armor on his upper body and had a big scar on his face, was respectfully pleading guilty to the emperor. Lin Qi listened to his words and said that he was the thief who snatched the emperor's crown and seal from the palace last time.
, so far there is no clue. The only people who have taken the initiative to admit that they did this are still the orcs from Wudalian Island who are afraid of chaos in the world.
The emperor's face was ugly. He spat and cursed at the minister, which frightened the minister into bending over and not daring to raise his head.
After cursing, the emperor issued a decree, requiring the foreign minister to immediately write to all countries on the continent, asking them to help the Gallic Empire find the audacious thief. A white-haired old man bowed respectfully to the emperor and said this
The matter was agreed to.
At this moment, dull footsteps came, and a majestic man nearly two meters tall, as thick as a snow bear, wearing a set of blood-colored armor, but without a helmet, strode into the study. As soon as he entered the study, this man
The man knelt down heavily on one knee and bowed his body to the emperor.
"Wow, my dear Thuram, when did you come back?" The emperor looked at the eldest prince who was kneeling on the ground in surprise, and shouted in surprise: "You should be leading troops outside now, not here.
Here, when did you come back, for what purpose, and by what means?"
With a pursed smile, the emperor asked intentionally or unintentionally: "The cabin by the Lanxin River is a good place to enjoy the river scenery, isn't it?"
Lin Qi didn't understand the emperor's words, but Kou En did. He looked at Lin Qi with a smile and said softly: "Our eldest prince is a smart man! It seems that he has understood a lot of things. Look, I
Let me explain to you, things here are very complicated, you must understand the causes and consequences, and then you can understand why the scene in front of you happened!"
Lin Qi nodded repeatedly. He also felt that there seemed to be some kind of weird atmosphere between the emperor and the eldest prince.
Thuram lowered his head deeply and said respectfully: "Father, I am willing to dedicate the Iron Wall Bank to the empire. I just ask..."
The emperor threw an official document in his hand on the desk. He looked at Thuram coldly: "I just want to keep the new gold coins in your vault? How many things are you hiding from me? Why do you want to
Hiding it from me? If nothing happens, the entire Gallic Empire will be yours in the future, why... why are you trying to get it yourself? "
Big drops of sweat dropped from Thuram's forehead.
The emperor sighed and shook his head: "If it's just children like Maris and Latus playing around, I won't pay attention to you. Children, if you don't suffer a little, you can spit out a few mouthfuls of blood over a few bones.
You can’t be considered a descendant of our family! But you can’t get involved. If you interfere, the taste will change, you know?”
Thuram put his hands on the ground and said in a deep voice: "Yes, father, I admit my mistake!"
The emperor squinted at Thuram and said slowly: "Then, the Green Shade Principality will issue a notice and become a vassal state of the empire! You understand what I am talking about! And then, is it the Viper you mobilized?"
Thuram's back was instantly wet with cold sweat. He raised his head and glanced at the emperor in horror, then touched his forehead to the carpet.
"Father, I didn't mobilize even one of Viper's soldiers!"
With a 'click', the emperor crushed the armrest of the throne into pieces. (To be continued)
