After leaving the Prince's Mansion, Cohen and Bai Ying successfully transferred to another carriage under the cover of others. As soon as the people sent by the Prince's Mansion to inform Zuo Xiang set off, they were followed by the people sent by Cohen, one after another.
The latest information was quickly transmitted to the carriage for Cohen to analyze.
Because of Xiangxue's incident, Cohen had already suspected the Left Prime Minister, and during today's debate, this suspicion was even deeper. That's why Cohen just released the bait to conduct a detailed investigation of the Left Prime Minister and his true position.
.The success or failure of this proposal is of great importance. Cohen cannot tolerate any mistakes, and the left prime minister also plays an extremely critical role in this.
Under the cover of night, a carriage loaded with sundries was staggering along the road in the aristocratic residential area towards the area where the Riva Internal Affairs Building was located. In the carriage behind, there were Cohen and Bai Ying, who were already dressed for the night.
With the faint light coming from outside the carriage, he carefully studied the map in his hand - the detailed map of the Riva Empire Interior Building.
The person who led them was the person sent by the prince to deliver the message. The left minister should have reacted after receiving such a piece of information.
"I didn't expect that the left prime minister is still a hard-working official, and he is still working in the Internal Affairs Building so late." Because she wanted to keep quiet, Bai Ying's voice was directly transmitted to Cohen's head. Her face was covered with a scarf. In Cohen's view,
Very strange, "I hope he is different from the former left prime minister of the Sbia Empire, although they are both officials from the temple."
"Do you want to make a bet? I bet he is definitely not worried about state affairs right now." Cohen leaned against the car wall and also transmitted his consciousness to Bai Ying's head, "Being the emperor for so long and messing around in the political situation for so long,
I understand the psychology of these people to some extent. At this sensitive time, he still stayed in the Internal Affairs Building, probably to make it easier for others to find him. Besides, Bai Ying, you are really a strange guy. In our current situation, you
Should we worry about where we should sneak in from?"
"Do I need to worry? If you can't sneak into such an internal affairs building, you, the emperor, should stop being an emperor. If you go back and tell someone, he might jump up and give you a sword, and call you a fool." Bai Bai
Ying rolled his eyes at Cohen and replied tit for tat, "Besides, I'm not a weird guy. I'm a dragon. Even if I'm weird, I'm still a weird dragon."
Unable to stand Bai Ying's serious look any longer, Cohen turned his head and smiled secretly in the shadows.
"I forgot to ask you, if the results of our investigation show that this left prime minister can help you, then forget it." Bai Ying has seen a lot and is not surprised, "But if he is not prepared to help you, he will even help others to deal with you.
, what are you going to do?”
"In this matter, it doesn't matter to me whether he helps me or not." Cohen turned around and replied, "What I am most worried about is that this left prime minister has devoted himself to other forces. In an empire like Riva, the forces that send officials under the temple
It is too huge. If such a situation occurs, Prince Riva will be in danger, the old Emperor Riva will be in danger, and our Sibia Empire will also become in danger. If the imperial power of Riva changes hands, foreign forces will definitely enter Liva, and the empire will become dangerous.
It will pose a threat to my Sibia's back, how can I feel at ease?"
"Are you worried that other countries will use Riva as a springboard to attack the Sbia Empire?" Bai Ying nodded, "Yes! You have already started a war in the Demon Alliance, and you will definitely invest more troops in the future. If you are attacked in the back,
If there is an attack, that would be very dangerous."
"So it's very important to determine the left prime minister's position right now. As long as he doesn't make any big moves in the near future, I won't bother to interfere with other people's housework." At this point, Cohen smiled bitterly, "What if he wants to...
I can only think of ways to prevent this from happening. To be honest, I don't expect anything big tonight. If Prime Minister Riva really has different intentions, the defense around him must be very tight. Can we get close to him?
It’s still unknown, let alone any action…”
When Cohen finished this sentence, someone knocked lightly on the car outside. This was a signal to get off the car. Cohen's eyes became extremely sharp at this moment. He took Bai Ying out of the car and walked two streets away from the Interior Building.
A building. At this time, the Interior Building in the distance was shrouded in a hazy magic light. A magic barrier that was difficult to detect with the naked eye was hidden in the light. After careful observation, it was found that this magic barrier was very tight and could not touch any object.
Any intrusion will trigger an alarm.
Cohen looked at the flawless barrier, folded his hands and whistled.
"What are you doing? Have you figured out how to break in?" Bai Ying was very dissatisfied with Cohen's attitude. "If we can't think of any good way, we can just go back. I haven't had dinner yet!"
"Don't just talk about me, take a closer look and see if there is any good way to break into this magic barrier?" Cohen lectured Bai Ying rudely, "What's wrong with just thinking about eating? Don't blame me for not warning you.
, a gluttonous woman will be in bad luck."
"I am a dragon. Of course you can tell if you look at it, but it will take a day of research at the earliest. Can you afford to wait?" Bai Ying smiled rarely, "As for gluttony, I eat less than you -
It’s time to do something, how long do you want to play?”
"I have known for a long time that no matter whether I am a human or a dragon, I cannot have a good look towards the opposite sex, otherwise I will be despised by the opposite sex." Cohen was nagging dissatisfied, while gesturing to the intelligence officers on the street and giving the order.
It was immediately spread to a distant place, "I should be like that Prince, who slaps women for fun whenever things don't go their way..."
The person on standby in the distance took action. The night wind, which was not very strong before, increased in speed, and the air became more moist and cold. Bai Ying looked at Cohen in confusion, "Is this your action? You want to use this
Come to break through the magic barrier?"
"How can I say hello to you? Please turn your noble dragon head one more time!" Cohen sighed and shook his head, "Before it rains, they will change to another kind of magic barrier, right? It's not like that now.
In a battle, there will inevitably be a gap when the two magic barriers switch, right? With your flying speed, it won't be a problem to rush in at that time, right?"
Bai Ying didn't have the right words to refute Cohen at the moment, so she could only muffledly cast advanced invisibility magic on herself and Cohen, and then relied on her superb flying instinct to take Cohen up to the sky, and then slowly descended after reaching the top of the Interior Building.
Hover.
The magic barrier below flashed and slowly disappeared. Bai Ying took advantage of the two adjustments of the magic barrier and led Cohen in from the air. Just when he passed through the magic barrier, Bai Ying suddenly discovered the building.
There are also some thread-like white lines scattered on the top - those should be the backup warning lines converted from the previous magic barrier, specially designed to detect unusual magic energy. The color is exactly the same as the magic barrier, so neither of them noticed it before.
!
"Put away the magic and fall naturally." Cohen estimated the distance in his mind, "Leave everything to me."
As soon as Bai Ying's magic was withdrawn, the two people's bodies were immediately revealed, and they passed through the white warning lines in a thrilling manner. When they were about to land on the roof of the building, Cohen pushed Bai Ying, and one person and one dragon fell from straight to diagonal.
Falling - Cohen saw the right moment and punched out. The surging wind of the punch blew away all the white lines on the white shadow's falling path. The white shadow immediately became invisible again and fell gently.
But the other one was not so lucky and rolled all the way on the roof of the building. Although Cohen tried his best, he still made a mess. Fortunately, the building was surrounded by trees, and the strong wind blew and the treetops rustled.
The sound of his flipping was covered up, and no one noticed anything unusual... The two of them turned over, avoiding the guards on the roof, and followed the instructions on the map to climb directly down the window sill from the top of the building.
Counting silently in his mind, Cohen stretched out his hand, opened a half-closed window and got in. Bai Ying followed and found that it was a small data room. The files accumulated around it reached the ceiling. She was amazed at this kind of situation.
How could the important room not close the windows? Cohen had already changed clothes beside him - the clothes of a Riva internal affairs official.
"Why are you surprised? If there are no people like me in this kind of organization, I, the emperor, am still a fool. I might as well go back to farming." Cohen put the map on the table again. "The left prime minister's room is on the third floor, and the whole half floor is
They are all his office area. Follow the corridor, and I know you can sneak into his upstairs. There is a door here, and there is a sentry here. Now we are just waiting for someone to report the location of the left prime minister."
There was a sound of footsteps outside the door, and someone walked into the room while humming a tune. Bai Ying subconsciously dodged to the corner, but Cohen stood in the middle of the room without evading.
The door was pushed open, and the person who came was dressed in official uniform, but he turned a blind eye to Cohen standing in front of him. He sat down at the table and began to clear away the scattered documents on the table.
"It's really hard! The Prime Minister is still dining in the small restaurant. If he doesn't leave, we junior officials can't leave either!" As he spoke, the official put a badge on the table, "Seeing that the Prime Minister left in a moment
He was about to leave, but a man came out of nowhere and wanted to see him. In my opinion, such a person should be beaten out with a stick, so why should he be arranged to wait in the small study? "
Cohen smiled slightly and walked over to pick up his badge. When he took Bai Ying out, the official had already started writing at his desk.
As soon as they stepped out of the door, Cohen and Bai Ying became a golden pair. Whether it was in terms of specialties, skills, martial arts, magic, etc., or in terms of coordination, they were a perfect combination. Looking at the entire Bisi
There is no more powerful “intelligence officer” in mainland China than this man and one dragon.
Cohen, who was walking in front, raised his special perception to the limit and pointed out the positions of the guards one by one to the white shadow. After that, the invisible white shadow rushed forward, either to lure the guards away from their posts, or to create magical illusions.
In some places where there are magic barriers or where invisibility magic can be eliminated, it is Cohen's turn to take action... A winding passage hundreds of arms long, sometimes climbing out of the window, sometimes hiding in a blind corner, and even every corner is used by them.
;Sometimes he rushed through, sometimes he stayed hidden, and after a quarter of an hour, he finally successfully reached the top of the Prime Minister's office area.
Bai Ying was on guard, and Cohen gently lifted the carpet, took out a set of extremely precise instruments, and began to drill holes in the floor. While turning the drill slightly, Cohen carefully sucked out the floor residue... because the other party was a senior official.
, and has a temple background, and there are many capable people responsible for security around him, so Cohen does not dare to use monitoring magic rashly.
In order to ensure safety, Cohen drilled a hole in the left prime minister's study and office. The messenger sent by the prince was sitting on the sofa in the small study. Everything was ready, and now he was waiting for the left prime minister to arrive.
Bai Ying closed all the doors and windows, put his palms on the floor, and concentrated on feeling every slight sound coming from the floor. After a while, he raised his head and told Cohen, "The target appeared, with a total of six followers. One attendant.
, two magicians, and the other three are warriors.”
Cohen nodded, lying flat on the floor, not daring to miss any sound coming from below. The future of the empire, the success of the war against demons, and even the lives and deaths of many people all depended on his monitoring this time. But Zuo
Cohen couldn't estimate what attitude the prime minister would show after hearing the news from the prince, how much he could show, and whether it would be enough to judge his position...
The door downstairs opened, and a warrior accompanying the left prime minister walked in. Cohen closed his eyes and listened carefully.
"Good evening, Mr. Zuo Xiang, I have disturbed your rest." In the small study, the person sent by the prince immediately stood up and saluted, "His Royal Highness, the prince has sent me here with an extremely important intelligence report."
"The message coming here at this time must be very important information, right? Why have you traveled so far?" Prime Minister Zuo's gentle voice rang out, "Sit down and tell me, sit down and tell me, does His Highness the Crown Prince want you to bring a note or a message?"
?”
"This is a fire-level message. Please verify your identity, Prime Minister Zuo." The man sent by the prince took out an object from his arms and fastened it with the object taken out by Prime Minister Zuo. After a slight metal sound, the man began to repeat the message,
"Left Prime Minister, the information from Special Envoy Sibia pointed out that in addition to Cohen Keda, the name and mission of the suitor are also known to the Gods of Light. In this way, the suitors from other empires can shut up, Riva
I can also explain it here. The left minister also knows that this prince has formed an alliance with the Sibia Empire, so of course I have to help with their affairs, and I can ask you to arrange the rest."
"Is that all? I understand. If I had known this earlier, I wouldn't have had to go through so much trouble. The same goes for Special Envoy Spy. He didn't tell the prince earlier about such a powerful chess move." After a moment of silence, Zuo Xiang said
The voice sounded again, "Please report back to His Highness the Crown Prince. I will make arrangements for tomorrow's affairs. Please rest assured."
"Yes, sir, the young one will take his leave now." The prince's men replied, and the footsteps gradually faded away.
At this moment, Bai Ying glanced at Cohen and said, "So far, the Prime Minister's reaction is normal, right?"
"It's hard to say, what Zuo Xiang said to the envoy was just for the occasion." Cohen listened to the sound of Zuo Xiang pacing downstairs. "He must have made some arrangements. We will find out as we continue to listen."
Time passed little by little, but in the small study downstairs, there was no other sound except the footsteps of the left prime minister, as if the left prime minister didn't care about the situation at all. Just when Cohen was frustrated and thinking about whether to retreat
While there, the left prime minister asked the attendant in a slightly dissatisfied voice, "The time has passed, why haven't you come yet?"
"My lord, please calm down. I will go out and take a look." The attendant quickly agreed, ran out of the door, and ran back after a while, "My lord, she is here."
Cohen was thinking about who was coming to Zuo Xiang's study at this time. When he looked up, he saw Bai Ying's eyes becoming extremely deep. Before Cohen could react, Bai Ying stretched out his arms and moved his body across the room.
She made an arc and rushed towards Cohen - in just a moment, Cohen was hugged by her, and his whole body was tightly shrouded in a thin film transformed from Bai Ying's arms.
Cohen was about to ask Bai Ying if he was crazy, when he noticed that little by little, magical light spots that were imperceptible to the naked eye were floating up through the floor. These light spots were swimming and gradually filled the room where Cohen was located, but in
After getting close to the white shadow, it will move away. After a while, the light spot continues to float upstairs.
"This is the high-level magic of the temple, and it's not over yet." Bai Ying's voice sounded in Cohen's mind, "It's really strange, how can the people around the left prime minister use such advanced magic? Fortunately, this person has no master in magic.
This level can only detect humans and monsters, and is ineffective against dragons."
"This shows that someone important is on the scene." Cohen replied, "We really came to the right place tonight. There is indeed something wrong with this left prime minister."
While Cohen was talking, the Prime Minister downstairs had already walked out of the small study and entered the office. Bai Ying and Cohen hurriedly changed places. But when they carefully reached the top of the Prime Minister, they discovered that another magic barrier had been raised in the office.
, cut off all sounds, Cohen put his ears to the floor and couldn't hear anything.
"I am responsible for hiding your aura. You can use any means except magic. But hurry up, I can't last long." Bai Ying closed his eyes and hugged Cohen with his arms, "Stop your breathing.
"
Cohen was about to say that stopping breathing was not the end, but Bai Ying's lips had already kissed his neck, and a cold breath entered Cohen's body along the blood vessels. Cohen held his breath and tried it, but he did not feel anything like chest tightness.
After seeing the phenomenon, I realized that it was Bai Ying who was helping him to breathe.
A layer of fine lines appeared vaguely on Bai Ying's skin, but these fine lines could not hide her blushing face at the moment. Fortunately, Cohen couldn't see it.
Cohen calmed down and let his all-pervasive perception slowly invade the left prime minister's office. But as soon as he started, Cohen was shocked, because at this time, his perception became extremely sharp and flexible, completely different from usual, almost
A gap of an order of magnitude. Cohen thought for a while, this was probably the reason why Bai Ying and himself hugged each other...
"Don't think about such boring things." But his private thoughts were known to Bai Ying, "It's more important to do business."
Cohen secretly laughed, and after cautiously testing outside the magic barrier a few times, he felt that there was no chance. So he tried to turn the radially expanded perception into a thin stream, and let it adhere to the carpet like running water. This was his
It has never been done before or even thought about, but now the situation forces us to adapt.
Or maybe it was the reason for joining forces with Bai Ying. It was originally just a simple perception, but now it was slowly transforming, and finally turned into a physical force. According to Cohen's will, it escaped the magic barrier. Cohen clearly felt this
A force moved forward in the carpet, squeezing away the wool strands, bypassing the silk threads, and gradually came to the feet of the left prime minister...
Almost immediately, the scene in the office appeared in Cohen's mind. But what made Cohen even more strange was that he knew that this scene also appeared in Bai Ying's mind at the same time. (To be continued)
