The gentle breeze with a bit of coolness slowly passed between the railings and eaves of Baohua Building. Two men of similar height stood on the top floor terrace, with the corners of their robes fluttering, looking down from the railing, with a touch of smile on their faces.
A faint smile.
The sky was already bright, and the misty lights had dimmed their dazzling brilliance. The busy crowd was making final preparations. The square in front of the palace and the mortal avenue were visible to the two of them, and even the Twin Squares in the distance could be vaguely seen.
"The mountains and rivers are beautiful, the spring breeze is proud." After a long time, Prince Weisu sighed: "I think back to those days, you were just little naughty boys, but in the blink of an eye, the wings of the eaglets have grown up, and you can cause wind and rain.
"
"After finally coming to the city, why did my father start to sigh about the past?" Cohen smiled slightly, pointed to the grand scene in front of Baohua Building and said: "Such a magnificent scenery is not what the benevolent kings of the Sibia Empire have pursued.
No matter what, I have done it for them today, even if it is above Nine Heavens, they will not have any regrets, right?"
"Don't use the sages of the empire to support you. Their original intention of pursuing a prosperous age is different from what you are thinking now." Prince Weisu smiled bitterly and shook his head: "The benevolent emperors of the past generations wanted to achieve a prosperous age, and they would try their best to maintain this situation. And the prosperous age in front of us is very important to us.
As far as you are concerned, it is just a process in the overall plan, just like a certain page in an ancient book. Although it is full of prosperity, it will eventually be turned over."
"Isn't this great? The ups and downs are the truth behind the growth of all things. As long as they don't prosper and then decline, Nasbia will have some remaining strength. If the people in power later are not stupid enough to be unparalleled in the world, then the next real prosperous age will not be
It would be too far away." Cohen did not take seriously the prince's complaint: "As the head of the family, my father certainly has the responsibility to worry about future generations, but I am different. I only know that there is a danger in front of me, and I have to cross it.
There will be a future, and if you fail...then everything will be in vain."
"Of course there is nothing wrong with following the right to power when urgent matters arise. However, the current Sibia Empire looks strong on the outside, but there are many shortcomings on the inside. It really cannot withstand the torment." At this point, Prince Weisu has returned to the position of Prime Minister.
His position is commensurate with that of an "emperor": "If the emperor can be more steady and not too impatient, then the chance of success will be much greater and things will be much safer."
"My father's words are correct to persuade ordinary emperors, but the effect on me is not that good, because I am half-empty, and Cohen Keda is not born to be an emperor." Although Cohen's voice was soft,
But he clearly expressed his refusal: "I have always believed that a person's identity comes before the emperor's identity. A person can only be a good 'I' before he can be a good 'I'. People can't stand without faith."
, this is about my promise, I will keep it."
The conversation between father and son stopped here, and the atmosphere became very dull. Even the crow leaning on the doorpost at the back puckered its lips. The conversation between the two father and son was a complete riddle and not pleasant at all.
Almost at the same time, a flash of light on the distant horizon attracted the attention of all three people.
The first ray of glow finally appeared in the east, as bright as flowing gold, shining straight on the Twin Square outside the city.
Almost at the same time, the priests lined up on the left and right of the square knelt on the ground, and two completely different styles of prayers sounded leisurely. Dots of floating light spots appeared from around the square with the singing, swirling and floating, and moved toward the two sets of jade stone barriers.
The tall porch converges past.
At the top of the city, the majestic war drums roared, raising the atmosphere higher and higher. Suddenly, they were suppressed by a loud horn, and slowly fell. The waiting crowd was refreshed, and the soldiers' posture became more standard.
, the envoys from various countries all got into open carriages.
"The ceremony is about to begin." Severk Lando, who got into the carriage in advance, turned his gaze away from the city gate and focused on Karl Ulysses opposite: "Your Highness, have you read these documents?
?”
"There are still a few pages left, I should be able to finish it on the way."
Prince Ulysses was entrusted with an important task and was taking the time to look through a stack of documents in his hand. The internal confidential documents kindly provided by Severk recorded in detail the events that happened in Sbia during this period, and even some
After analyzing the intelligence, Prince Ulysses, who had just emerged from the prison, took it to sharpen his gun.
"Your Highness, don't be too tired. Please take a rest first!" Sevik looked at the Prince of Tansi across from him. Although his clothes were not luxurious, and he even had some white hair on his temples, he still maintained his appearance.
With his elegant and calm temperament, there is no trace of the dejection or joy of the newly released prisoners. This period of imprisonment does not seem to have had any adverse effects on him.
"Your Excellency, I would like to thank you in advance." Prince Ulysses smiled faintly, raised his head and said: "Don't be happy with things, don't be sad with yourself, this period of confinement can be regarded as a kind of life experience, please
Don’t worry about my physical and mental state.”
"The prince is too polite. I listened to His Highness's teachings when I first arrived in Sibia. In my heart, Xiao Wang actually treats His Highness as an elder. It is the duty of a junior to show some concern. If His Highness is interested in the current situation at hand,
There are places where I can make some additions.”
The information given by Severk could actually be obtained by envoys from various countries, and he just used it as a favor.
In fact, this is a great opportunity for Sevekla's relationship. After living in the Sibia Imperial City for so long, he still has at least some judgment. For Sevek, if he can get some benefits and a little information
, what does a little time count for?
At this juncture, since the Temple of Light has gone to great lengths to get Prince Ulysses to the position, he is not just serving as the Tansi ambassador. It is obvious that he is using this status as a springboard to jump to another important position.
.More importantly, if you just want Ulysses to return to the Tansi Empire, then there is no need to arrange the first scene of his reappearance here. You must know that Sibia’s stay in the city is now international.
Every sound will cause ripples throughout the continent.
Apart from the Tansi Empire, where will Ulysses go? The treaty business group... The structure of the Divine Alliance treaty business group has never been so satisfactory, and it can't be said to have done anything, because the people inside
The interests are really too great, so up to now, the powerful people from various countries are still fighting for territory!
Yes! It must be the treaty business group!
Staring at Prince Ulysses, Sevek was secretly surprised. The prince's background was really not simple. Not only was he able to protect himself and his children after defeat, but he was also able to turn around at a time and place that others would never expect, and all of this was still bright.
The temple personally came forward to do it - what kind of place is the Sbia Empire? If the temple cannot satisfy Korn Keda, he will easily let Ulysses out?
"I have some questions that I would like to ask your Excellency." Just as Severk was nervously analyzing the reasons, Prince Ulysses had already closed the document in his hand and asked: "According to what I saw along the way, Sibia
The empire's capital relocation ceremony was very grand. Was this the date and procedure decided early in the morning, or was it changed later?"
"Your Highness asked the right person. I was the first envoy to arrive at the city, so I know the best." Sevik secretly marveled at Prince Ulysses' insight. This veteran prince actually saw the key at a glance.
, and also used ordinary questions to find answers: "In general, the entire ceremony, including the time and program, has been changed again and again, full of variables, and it was not completely decided until not long ago... It's no wonder, after all, the temple and
The Demon Palace has sent special envoys, how dare Sibiya do so perfunctorily!"
"But before, I heard that Sibia had expelled all the priests of the temple and the demon temple, which caused extremely tense relations with the two temples." Prince Ulysses asked lightly: "Is this true?"
"It is indeed true, and during the process of expulsion, Sibiya dealt with the backlog of cases involving the two temples that had been accumulated for many years. With the stroke of a pen by the supreme judge, hundreds of priests were killed," Sevik said as he spoke.
, but his heart was beating wildly. There was no information on the expulsion of the two temple priests. Although Sibia had never covered up this matter, how could an important prisoner know about it?
After hearing his explanation, Prince Ulysses looked around: "So, these priests today are..."
"They all came to the city in the name of the special envoy's advance preparers, and they stayed in the post house, because Sibia has not approved their establishment of the temple and the devil's temple at present. But I think the special envoys of the two temples will negotiate directly with His Majesty the Emperor.
They probably won't go back after the ceremony." Sevik told everything he knew, and he tried his best to use tactful language to reveal the inside story: "There are also some rumors, which seem to be about
The special envoys of the two palaces...it seems that their status is very noble and special."
"That's it, thank you so much, Your Excellency." Prince Ulysses just nodded with a habitual smile, without much expression: "The special envoys of the two palaces congratulated on the move of the capital. This is really an honor for Sbia!
"
"Maybe." Severik didn't know what Prince Ulysses thought of Sbia now, so he could only give an ambiguous answer to his praise: "However, I heard that His Highness's appointment was issued by the Temple of Light.
For ordinary people like us, isn’t this a huge honor?”
"Actually, this sudden appointment is what makes me feel surprised and ashamed." Prince Ulysses shook his head: "Logically speaking, the appointment of envoys should be directly issued by Emperor Tansi, and they must be outstanding national officials.
I have come to take up this position, but I am just a defeated general, not to mention a few traitors who are still fighting against the imperial orthodoxy... It is really unbecoming and makes Your Excellency laugh."
"Your Highness, there is no need to belittle yourself. Since the Temple of Light has made such arrangements, there must be sufficient reasons. Besides, Sibiya's ability to accept the arrangements of the Temple of Light also shows that His Highness's reputation is at its peak. As for the princes, they fought against the Guards with only weak forces.
The younger generation will have to express their admiration when mentioning it. I believe that the day when the name will be rectified is not far away."
"Similar to the Demonic Alliance, the Divine Alliance also formed a treaty business group because it had to pay huge compensation to Sibia." Sevik calmly changed the subject and went directly to what he was most concerned about: "No.
Do you know what His Royal Highness the Prince thinks of the Treaty Business Group of the Divine Alliance?"
"Oh?" Prince Ulysses also said without changing his expression: "Your Excellency is very interested in the treaty business group?"
"There was no such group before. It is considered a new thing. It seems to be more interesting..." The closer he got to what he cared about, the calmer Sevik's tone became: "Judging from the original intention of establishing the treaty business group,
It is to deliver compensation or discounted materials to Sibia, which is understandable, after all, the alliance has acknowledged the debt. But on the demon side, there is something different."
"Have you got the news from the demon clan?" Prince Ulysses looked at him: "I have no information. If it is convenient, can you tell me about it?"
"Your Highness is asking, there is no reason for inconvenience." Severk smiled slightly and made a gesture: "The treaty business group of the Demon Alliance is actually controlled by the former commander-in-chief of the coalition, that is, that Sves
·Duke Hepburn.”
"Duke Swius Hepburn." Prince Ulysses nodded, thoughtfully.
"Under the operation of this young duke, the Demonic Treaty Merchant Group not only started doing business, but also bought several former coalition troops with their personnel and equipment." Now that the prince's whereabouts had been determined, Severk began.
Use your own latest confidential information to make a bet: "In other words, this demonic treaty business group has now greatly increased its power. Not only can it nominally collect compensation from various countries on behalf of Sbia, but it actually also has armed debt collection agencies.
ability."
"Your Majesty, do you think that the Demonic Treaty Merchant Group will become a new source of unrest?" Prince Ulysses replied calmly: "Having force is one aspect, but on the other hand, it also depends on whether this group has the intention to use armed force for personal gain.
.Swiss Hepburn is also a commander-in-chief, and I think he will understand the consequences of using weapons without permission."
"Like His Highness the Prince, I don't think Swiss Hepburn would do this, but the iron-clad generals and quick soldiers, for the treaty merchant group, although Swiss Hepburn is its founder, he can only
He is just a passer-by." As Sevik spoke, the open carriage swayed slightly and was already driving along the mortal road: "In five years, ten years, and twenty years, the treaty business group has become stronger and stronger, but he himself will eventually
left."
"What will happen to the next people after Swiss Hepburn leaves? Will they still abide by the rules?" Sevek stretched out his hand and pointed to several carriages driving on the other side of the Mortal Avenue and said: "Your Highness, please look.
, that is the representative of the Demonic Treaty Merchant Group. They are so young, but their eyes are so gloomy. They do not hide their greed for wealth and jealousy of power. What kind of nobles are these? They are simply robbers! The president of the Treaty Merchant Group
One day it will fall into the hands of these people, what good things will they do?"
Prince Ulysses turned his head and looked at the carriage driving on the other side of the avenue. Sevik's finger range was relatively large, and it immediately attracted the other party's attention. More than a dozen young men turned their eyes over, all bold and bold.
He glanced fiercely at the prince's face.
The smile on Prince Ulysses' face did not change, and he nodded to the other party, and then turned back to comfort Sevek: "Your Excellency, are you a little excited?"
"It's okay. They are demons anyway, so pointing at them is useless." Although he has always pretended to be mature, Sevek is also very young. Under the straightforward and provocative looks of more than ten people on the other side, he unconsciously exposed his immaturity.
On the other side: "Not convinced? Call someone to deal with them soon! I just had a drink with the Supreme Judge yesterday, will he still arrest me?"
"Your Excellency, please be at peace. This is the imperial capital after all, and today is the capital relocation ceremony. It would be inappropriate to cause trouble." Prince Ulysses turned his head and looked over again: "There is always a point of contention."
After hearing the words of Prince Ulysses, Severk, who regretted his impulsive words, suddenly felt his eyes light up - he had indeed seen it right. He was on par with the Demonic Merchant Group, except for
Besides the divine treaty business group, who else could be there?
In an instant, Severk straightened his waist and looked energetic. He stopped gossiping and gossiped with Prince Ulysses.
The carriage beneath him also approached the city gate at this time...
Viewed from Baohua Tower, the carriages formed a convoy on the left and right, like two long snakes emerging from their holes.
"Lick and Sifta will serve as greeters, so there shouldn't be any problems." After a long silence, Prince Weisu on the terrace of Baohua Building finally spoke: "After all, he has been with me for a long time, and he is quite familiar with such foreign affairs occasions.
Dabble.”
"It's for this reason that we let them take the lead! But speaking of it, they have been married for a while, why haven't they heard any news yet?" Cohen laughed: "Instead of worrying about me, Dad, you
It's better to hurry up and urge Li Ke and Shifta to have some grandchildren as soon as possible, so that Sibiya can have successors. Well, it's not a good habit to arrange people behind the scenes. It's a sin. I hope my two brothers don't feel cold in the back.
…”
At this time, Prince Lek and Prince Shifta did not feel any chills in their backs - they were waiting on the side of the Twin Square, looking intently at the long jade porch. Although their demeanor remained the same, their concentration was highly concentrated.
There is no energy left to worry about other things. (To be continued)
