What is interesting in the eyes of the beholder may have a different feeling once it is experienced by the person involved.
In fact, it was only after a fierce ideological struggle that the leader of the Southern Treaty Business Group, Duke Swice Hepburn, finally made up his mind to stay in the city to watch the ceremony. This was because he had previously decided and even promised not to go to Sibia to meet with Cohen again.
· Keda met, but after all, Cohen had done something big again, and as a fellow human being, he also felt that he should congratulate him - of course, the Duke himself was by no means a carrier of flattery, he just wanted to take a look at it from a distance.
It's enough to set off a scene.
As for promises, we are all politicians, so we naturally understand that sometimes promises cannot be kept, and I believe no one will make such a big deal out of it.
But he could never have imagined that Cohen Keda would directly issue an order to refuse him entry into Sbia, and even sent a special envoy to reprimand him for this matter. No matter from any point of view, this barbaric order was extremely excessive.
.
At the same time, this is also a very embarrassing thing, and as the key figure in the incident, Swais Hepburn, he has plenty of reasons to be angry!
But the most tragic thing is that while he was angry, Duke Hepburn had no idea that he had violated Cohen's taboos. He had no reason to do so. If the reason was attributed to "he is a bastard himself," the Duke could not convince himself at all.
.So, Siwei decided to personally receive the envoy from Dingcheng, even if he was humiliated again, he would not be afraid!
"No big deal, just kill him afterwards."
The Duke held a sword in his hand, with a calm expression on his face, but there was a rare murderous intention in his heart. This huge hall was empty, and there were magic barriers around it. It was indeed a good place to kill people and silence them.
"The envoy of the Sibia Empire has arrived..."
There was a powerful announcement from outside the door, and then the sunlight poured in along the door, illuminating the smile on the Duke's face. It was soft, kind, charming, and even reflected the sunlight... This was probably because the Duke saw the smile above.
Even though he came alone.
"Very good! One sword will do the trick!"
"Da da, da da." The envoy's leather boots tapped lightly on the marble. He walked to the center of the hall and looked at the Duke with another soft, kind, charming smile that could even complement the sunshine.
.
The muscles on the Duke's face twitched, and he knew that he would not be able to kill anyone today, because the person who came was Li Pu, the deputy foreign minister of the Sbia Empire, known as the "elegant vicious dog". If such a famous minister appeared,
If an accident occurs, the treaty business group cannot bear the responsibility.
The Duke could only relax his muscles, clear his throat and prepare to say a few polite words, but Lip was more impatient than him and actually spoke first.
"Please forgive my presumption." He said, then took out a set of strange-shaped crystals from his arms and arranged them inside the magic barrier in the hall.
Seeing the pudgy Lip running around every corner, the Duke's heartbeat started to beat wildly, because there was no need to be so careful with a normal reprimand, and he had to set up another barrier!
"Phew - I'm sorry, I haven't been active recently." After finishing everything, Lip took out a white handkerchief and elegantly wiped the non-existent sweat on his forehead: "Your Excellency, you should already know the purpose of my visit, right?
?”
"Of course." Swice nodded: "But I expect there will be surprises."
"You really think highly of me!" Lip smiled, with a sweet and friendly look on his face. He took out an official document: "Then please accept this reprimand document and keep it in the file. Your Majesty hopes that your descendants will see it.
When I write this record, I will have great respect for you."
"Don't bully others too much!" Swice replied with a smile: "Even if Cohen comes in person, I will draw my sword against him."
"Looking at what you said, this is all a misunderstanding!" The Foreign Secretary used a slightly exaggerated gesture to show his innocence and harmlessness: "How I want to get such a reprimand... Oh, reprimand is just a diplomatic technique
And the statement. You know, it is not convenient for Sibia to communicate with the treaty business group now. In fact, not only you, but also the leader of the NATO treaty business group also received a reprimand."
"Then." Seeing the Duke's thoughtful look, Lip felt that the time had come: "The next thing is my real mission. Please listen carefully and don't interrupt before I finish speaking."
"Which of your words should I believe?" The Duke said calmly: "Neither you nor your emperor are so reliable."
"Logically, the Duke slandered my emperor, so I should fight you. But considering the pressure you are currently under, Duke, I just pretended not to hear it." Lip said to the Duke, "We are good friends."
With his eyes, he changed his temperament - just like tearing off a layer of wrapping paper from an oil painting. The speed was so fast that people couldn't see the process clearly, but the colorful oil painting instantly replaced the monotonous wrapping paper.
"On behalf of Emperor Sibia, I convey the following message to you." Lip's voice was no longer soft, but full of power and authority, and his tone was very similar to that bastard: "Before I reject you,
I came to attend the ceremony because the treaty business group has other things to do. At this time, it is not a good sign for the business group to get close to Sibia."
"Really?" The Duke said noncommittally: "Is this what Cohen Keda said?"
"Your Majesty said it himself, of course not everything." Lip answered the Duke's question with a smile, then returned to a serious expression and continued: "I don't care what you think of me, anyway, you have hated me for a long time.
It doesn’t matter if this person is gone, you don’t need to take it to heart. Because I know who you are, and even if you die with this feeling of hating me, you will not lose your calm judgment.”
"Is this a compliment?" For no reason, the Duke tightened his grip on the sword.
"You have always regarded me as your enemy, or to be more precise, you have regarded me as your competitor. I understand this. Choosing an opponent is what a man should do." The Foreign Secretary continued.
: "But I didn't expect that things would develop to this point. Maybe there are reasons for their respective personalities, but unfortunately it ended like this, and neither you nor I are people willing to bow to our opponents - I have long wanted to follow
You point out a fact, especially when you are in high spirits, but because I have always been scrupulous, I have postponed it until today."
"The fact is that you are not as good as me! No matter what you do or how outrageous you do, you are not as good as me. In fact, it is not me that you resent in your heart, but the perfect Cohen in your imagination. Therefore, you are just fighting with your own
Shadow fighting." At this point, Lip's voice turned cold: "You are a rare talent, I admit that, but I am a genius! Do you know the difference between the two? Yes, you have to spend ten
It took me twenty years to learn and master what I had when I was born! So, the outcome was already doomed.”
"Still..." The Duke couldn't help but draw out a little of his sword: "You're really shameless!"
"I'm telling you this to let you put down those unrealistic ideas! Why do you think I should tolerate you? The petty actions of the Southern Treaty Business Group are ten times worse than those of the NATO Business Group!" Lip's voice turned harsh again:
"Yes, we were friends once, but am I a confused person? Well, even if I am a bastard, at least I should be able to tell the difference between big and small!"
Perhaps because of the vivid tone of the Foreign Secretary, Swice's anger dissipated a little at this time, and he began to consider Cohen's real intention... This senseless statement must be foreshadowing something, right?
"Let go of those fearless fights. Frankly speaking, this kind of entanglement is ridiculous." Lip's tone turned soft: "Your horizons have been expanding. This is a good thing, but I can't wait any longer. I have to ask you
Take a longer view - get out of your damn league and look at the whole world again!"
The last word disappeared into the air, followed by a long silence.
The Duke stared at Lip, as if he wanted to see through his heart, liver, spleen and lungs, and it was not until a long time later that he asked: "Are you done?"
"Well, His Majesty ordered us to pause here." Lip looked a little embarrassed: "Because you need time to think about it."
"Go on!" The Duke lost his composure: "If there are any more outrageous things to say later, say them all at once!"
"The back..." Lip seemed to be frightened by the expression on the Duke's face. He backed away a little, turned his head and looked in the direction of Sibia, and said slowly: "Did you know? Probably today,
The distinguished guests of the superior clan will arrive in the waiting city."
"I know." The Duke replied coldly.
"Did you know? Tomorrow is the date of the ceremony. Sibia can no longer exist as an empire. Bisi continent may usher in another era."
"I know."
"Then, please allow me to ask you a question. Of course, this is from my personal standpoint." Lip first indicated with a gesture that "I am a nobody at this time." Then he said worriedly: "You are such an outstanding person.
As a person and leading the treaty business group, what role will you play in this new era?"
"The leader of the Southern Treaty Business Group." The Duke's answer was very formal: "This is what your master has decided long ago."
"If this is what you really think, then my Majesty will be very disappointed!" Lip nodded clearly, not excited or frustrated at all. What followed was actually Cohen's words: "A long time ago, I was in
I thought about something and made up my mind to do it, but in the end I realized that I couldn't accomplish this kind of thing alone. Then, I wanted to find some people who share the same will, and you, Siwes
·Hepburn is one of the candidates."
"Hahahahahahahaha..." The famous Duke Swice Hepburn rarely laughed so heartily: "You think too highly of me! How does a mere treaty business group have the qualifications to become Cohen...
Al Qaeda’s ally?”
"People with common aspirations do not necessarily have to be allies. Sometimes, a little cooperation is a wonderful thing. Of course, this is my personal opinion." The Foreign Secretary explained: "Please forgive my recklessness, you have an army."
?You have resources, right? You have strong strength, but you don’t carry any baggage. This is not a coincidence, but my Majesty’s painstaking arrangements over the years.”
"You said..." The Duke finally found some clues to the matter: "Is this because of Sibia's arrangement?"
"Of course Sibiya only provides an opportunity, and it is more about your personal efforts and achievements." The foreign minister only half-sentenced the flattery, and then changed the subject: "But I really hope that you will not reject my Majesty.
suggestions, or you should always pay attention to the process of the Sibia Ceremony... I have booked a detailed report for you, which will be delivered to the reading hall one after another. It is all true and timely news, please rest assured."
"So, does Cohen Keda want to cause something to happen at the ceremony?" The Duke's brows began to rise. He was a little curious and a little helpless: "He... is going to cause something out of control again.
Yet?"
"I don't know this, and it's impossible for His Majesty to tell me. But since Your Majesty mentioned the army, I think it may have something to do with military operations..."
"Military? Of course, I only have this little use value left." Although he said this, in fact, the Duke could not imagine that at this moment, there is any place where Sibia needs to use military power - the entire continent.
They were almost defeated by it, and continuing to fight was an inappropriate idea for it.
However, the deputy foreign minister did not come to him just to make a joke. So, what is the key to the matter? Is his vision really not long-term enough?
"This is not about taking advantage, Duke Swice. After all, His Majesty also said that everything depends on your wishes. If you are not willing, no one can force you to do anything." Lip used the honorific title: "Your Majesty.
The last sentence is this, you will make your choice from a just and merciful standpoint!"
"This is really a big surprise." The Duke nodded: "Is this really the last sentence?"
"Okay, actually there is a little sigh, but I'm not sure that's what I want to convey to you." Lip learned another vivid way: "It's like a tribe fighting with others, and someone has to rush to the front to defend the tribe.
If you fight desperately, then naturally someone will have to protect those innocent women and children from behind."
At this moment, the Duke was in a daze. In fact, when Cohen described their relationship as "a tribe", he was a little confused - when did his relationship with Cohen become so close? Protecting women and children? This
What are you referring to again?
"Don't worry, you will understand it when the time comes." The Foreign Secretary said, "Ah, in addition, should you prepare a brand new dress?"
"What is the dress for?" The Duke knew that every prompt from Lip was actually a step.
"I don't know." Lip waved his hand, but then continued, "Maybe it will be needed when Jin meets his superiors?"
As soon as the other party said these words, Sves Hepburn felt that he had grasped a clue... and correspondingly, his face suddenly turned pale.
Will things really turn out like that?
He suddenly felt that he should have tried more last time and at least broke Cohen Keda's legs! (To be continued)
