The next morning, Cohen ordered a dozen civil servants and more than thirty generals to enter the palace to hold a "secret meeting." These dozens of people could be regarded as the emperor's confidants. In the office of His Majesty the Emperor in the Royal Council Building, everyone
We ate and drank and chatted about daily life with His Majesty Cohen. Of course, they mostly talked about the government and military affairs of the empire, but none of them had anything to do with the coalition forces... At almost noon, officials authorized by His Majesty Cohen came with a group of
A list of the officials attending the meeting went to the Pota envoy, and it took a meal to bring back a large bribe, one for each of the officials and generals present - except the emperor himself.
This made His Majesty Cohen very unhappy, so someone went to the messenger of Pota to report. Prince Pota had no choice but to send the emperor himself a generous gift. Even so, it was not until dinner that the Sibia Empire "formally decided
"Agreed to the request of the coalition forces of the Pota Empire. Of course, the ministers and generals handed over the bribes sent by the Pota envoy to the emperor without even looking at them. However, this time His Majesty Cohen was very generous. He waved his hand and returned it to everyone intact.
Even my share is shared equally with everyone.
However, His Majesty Cohen made some changes on some details of the coalition. The first was to ask the Pota Empire to keep Severk Lando as a permanent envoy to facilitate daily communication, and specifically allowed him to build a mansion in the Holy Capital.
, Sibia regards this mansion as Pota's territory, and Sibia will also send envoys to Pota under the same conditions.
Secondly, the Pota Empire does not want to build warehouses and spend money on the border. The Pota Emperor only needs to send a princess and a prince to the Holy City to "play some time". As for Sibia...
"So far, there is no prince in the Sibia Empire, what? Little Princess Qinlun?" When discussing the details, the great His Majesty Cohen replied, "Dear Prince Yanan, are you sure you are awake now?"
Is that so? Everyone knows that the little princess Qinlun is my heartthrob, but the prince actually asked me to cut off my heartstrings? Is this request too much? I know you want to say that the prince and princess are also the heartthrob of your country’s emperor, but your country
The emperor's pet peeves will often fight...it's better to stay away!"
Prince Yanan lost his temper, but His Majesty Cohen was determined to accept Pota. The prince had to bow his head when asking for help. In this way, the first non-equal agreement between the Sibia Empire and the Pota Empire was officially reached, and His Majesty Cohen
Then a battle plan was given to Prince Yanan to take back. The general who came with the prince explained the attack plan of the Pota Empire. The generals of both sides spent another meal completing the attack time, attack route, and special circumstances.
The exchange of coping methods thus completely ended the negotiation.
But what surprised Cohen was what happened later. When everything was done and Prince Yanan was sent out, he only had time to drink a glass of wine when a mysterious figure came outside the palace gate and brought Cohen a letter.
Because the visitor had a certificate from the emperor, the guard at the door did not dare to neglect him and hurriedly sent him to the harem. After reading the letter, Cohen let out a long sigh in front of all the imperial concubines.
"It's not my husband that I don't want to spend this wonderful night with you, but someone is hindering it! The other party asked me to meet immediately, otherwise the consequences will be serious." Cohen handed the letter to the confused princesses, "Since the last time we met,
, I just wanted to see these two again, but I didn’t expect them to come to my door today. Okay Bai Ying, let’s go change clothes.”
"Aren't you going to take General Ferreo with you?" Princess Feline looked at the letter, "I don't know the other party's purpose, so it's better to be careful."
"I have Bai Ying with me, so I won't bring that guy Crow, so that no one will take the opportunity to sneak into the palace and cause trouble." Cohen chuckled, "Don't worry, your husband is not so squeamish yet, everyone should go to bed early and don't have to wait for me.
."
After personally explaining the defense of the palace and changing his attire, Cohen set off in a simple carriage. The carriage swayed gently and drove through the streets until it arrived at a place three city blocks away from the palace, and then slowly stopped.
A deserted small street.
After getting out of the car with Bai Ying, Cohen looked around and found that this place was close to the city wall and belonged to a relatively remote area of the Holy Capital. Cohen turned his head and looked at the guard driving the car suspiciously. The guard nodded and signaled to the emperor.
This is the right place.
This street is inhabited by ordinary people, and it is a large courtyard where dozens of families live together. The floors are generally not high, and there are mostly walls facing the street. Most of the courtyard gates are opened at both ends of the street. Open the gates at
There were only two houses in the middle of the street. The one on the left had three lights hanging on its door, which seemed to be Cohen's destination.
When he came out this time, Cohen did not change his appearance. There were jade ornaments on the sword with inscriptions, and a silver embroidered belt on the luxurious robe. He was dressed like an aristocratic son, with only a blouse and cap covering most of his black hair.
No one can recognize it.
In the distance, there seemed to be figures looming in the darkness at the beginning and end of the street. Cohen knew that it was the imperial concubines who were worried about their own safety and were dispatching manpower to protect them. Looking back in the direction of the palace, he found that the royal council building was still brightly lit, and he suddenly
Waves of warmth surged up in my heart, and my will, which was originally as hard as steel, became stronger.
"The invited guest has arrived, but the bastard who made the appointment has not come. How rude!" Cohen took off his gloves, took a few steps forward, and chuckled, "I will count to three. If nothing shows up yet, you will bear the consequences."
ah!"
Just as they were about to count, the magic lamp above the door was lit, and the closed door creaked open. In the light red light, before the toes even touched the street, a few soft chuckles could be heard.
When it came to Cohen's ears, the faint laughter penetrated through the ears and eyes, making half of the body feel numb and itchy.
"I've seen Master Cohen. I want to ask how Master Cohen is doing." Her eyes flashed across Cohen and the white shadow behind her. The masked woman decided to call him based on Cohen's current attire. She slowly walked to a place five steps away from Cohen.
He gave a court courtesy to Cohen and said, "It is a bit abrupt to invite the young master here late at night. Please don't take offense to the young master."
Cohen, on the other hand, had a standard ruffian look and asked arrogantly: "Why don't you wait for me to count to three before you come out?"
"In that case, wouldn't the slave become a 'thing'?" the woman answered Cohen, covering her mouth and laughing.
"That's right! Then I congratulate you, young master, because you are nothing now." A certain person with bad character smiled, "It's not like we haven't met before, and you are still wearing a veil. If you pretend to be a gangster at night, you will be hacked easily.
Yes, do you know?"
"Master Cohen is really a person who likes to joke, so I would like to have a joke too." This woman was quite arrogant, but now she has been reduced to the point where she is nothing. Although she knows that the other party is an emperor, her bad breath is regardless of her.
He couldn't swallow it no matter what, so he slowly raised his left hand, "If this slave is rude to Master Cohen now, what does Master Cohen think the outcome will be like?"
"You don't even know this ending, so it's no wonder you can only be a janitor. Do you want to know? Then I will show mercy to you and tell you?" Cohen said with a smile on his face, "The ending is that you are finished, I am.
Master, go home and sleep, it's that simple."
The woman didn't really want to take action just now. What she said was just to remind Cohen to give both parties a step to step down. It is a bit similar to the "say it again and see" commonly used in quarrels. As long as Cohen understands the truth, the matter will be over.
I didn't expect Cohen to be a vicious scoundrel. He didn't save any face at all. One answer had already forced the woman into an extremely embarrassing situation.
"Really? With such a bizarre ending, I would like to give it a try." The woman was so angry that she flipped her wrists in front of her and took half a step forward, but her sight was blocked by a white shadow - just a moment ago, an ordinary maid
The dressed-up white figure was clearly still standing behind Cohen, but at this moment she had blocked the woman's path, making no sound. Not to mention her posture had not changed, and even the corner of her clothes had not swayed. Faced with this appalling speed,
The woman was not surprised, but the guards who came with Cohen were dumbfounded. Although they were close guards, they had never seen Bai Ying show off his martial arts skills.
Since someone stepped forward, the woman was of course not polite. She made a fist with her left hand and punched it on the chest, her eyes full of contempt - according to her previous experience, the other party would at least end up with a broken arm. This was the result of her controlling the strength. Bai Ying remained silent.
Maintaining the same posture as before, with his head slightly lowered, he also punched.
The two fists collided together, and there was a "pop" sound. Bai Ying did not do anything at all. On the contrary, the woman was knocked back a few steps by the powerful impact, her foot knocked on the step, and her body fell backwards.
, he was helped up the moment before he landed.
"You - you are not human!" The woman glared at Bai Ying bitterly before she could stand upright.
This miss was really unjust, because she was deceived by Bai Ying's previous speed, and thought Bai Ying was an elf. Who knew that Bai Ying was a dragon, and she used the same force as an elf to attack the most powerful race among all creatures, of course.
Can't eat good fruit.
"Tch, what right do you have to be angry?" Cohen came up and stood side by side with Bai Ying, "Only humans can say that."
"Master Cohen! You are too domineering. You are bullying my lovely sister." The man holding the woman smiled and said, "She is Fergie and I am Minnie. Has the cruel Master Cohen really forgotten that
Yet?"
"I can't even remember your name, how can I remember your sister's name?" Cohen snorted coldly and walked towards the steps, "If you call me out so late, aren't you trying to frame me?"
Not because of our previous acquaintance, but I really want to scratch your face... Well, these breasts are nice, what did you stuff under your clothes? Let me touch them..."
"Disgusting." Emine blushed slightly, and floated back with Fergie's body, avoiding Cohen's stretched out hands, "People abide by the agreement and look at you with your true face, but you don't appreciate it at all. Cohen, who I like
Master is not like this. Master Cohen, please come in! After waiting for so long, the carefully prepared food and wine are almost cold!"
"Actually hiding? Let me tell you, my young master's move is a perfect shot, but now it has failed, I am very unhappy!" Cohen raised his hands, his face was cold and smelly, "I am not happy, the consequences will be very serious.
Seriously, it’s up to you to decide.”
Cohen didn't really want to catch him, nor did he want to have fun with the other person after being suppressed in the palace for a long time. He used this method to remind himself that the other person was just his enemy, and Cohen never let go of his enemies.
An opportunity for bullying.
If Cohen said this to Bai Ying, Bai Ying would definitely ignore Cohen and at most stand in the corner with a toss of her head. But Emine was different. She walked up with a smile and stood in front of Cohen, and there was still a trace of trace in her answer.
Tianyi said, "What a naughty and willful emperor! But since you are always on target, if you ruin it with me, you will be hated, so I will satisfy you today!"
Just when Bai Ying frowned and everyone in the shadows on the street corner was thinking something wrong, Emine raised her hands with a narrow smile on her face, letting Cohen see the two shining words "chest" in her palms.
Then he gently clasped his hand in Cohen's "paw" and asked softly: "Your Majesty, your Majesty the Emperor, now that you are on target, are you in a better mood?"
"Since you have met me with your true face, I will accept this favor from you. But if I can't catch your breasts tonight, I will lose to you." Cohen smiled and retracted his hands, looking at the courtyard in front of him.
"When did you move here? The conditions here are not very good. Isn't there food and wine? Lead the way!"
"It's such a small place, I feel wronged by Master Cohen." Emine took a step back and said, "Master, please." Cohen knew the opponent's strength and knew that except for himself and Bai Ying, no one else could be of any use, so he only took Bai Ying up the stairs.
, and asked the accompanying guards to spread out and stand in the garden, and the carriage stopped outside the gate. Although he didn't know why they invited him to come tonight, Cohen was not worried about the other party suddenly turning his back. According to the current situation, it was impossible for the other party to do this.
.
The banquet was held on the second floor of the main building. There were more than a dozen magic lamps in the hall, each emitting soft light of different colors. The combination was not very charming, but on the other hand it looked very natural and harmonious, and it was better than the lights Cohen used every day.
Be versatile.
From Cohen's point of view, the dishes on the table in front of him were also rich. Most of them were things that even the emperor Cohen could not name. It was obvious that the owner here was very "sincere" in entertaining him.
The guests and hosts sat face to face, Bai Ying stood behind Cohen, and Fogg stood behind Emine. They looked very clear, but one of his eyes was spitting fire, and the other looked calm. Anyway, Bai Ying didn't suffer any loss, and Cohen was happy to pretend that he didn't.
Seeing it, his eyes were only fixed on Emine in front of him.
Sitting across from her, it was the first time that Cohen saw her true face - Hermini had a beauty that could impress any normal man, with a slender waist, plump breasts, fair skin, and blue hair.
. What’s even more special is her demeanor. It’s not easy for a woman to find a balance between coquettishness, temptation and gentleness and shyness.
"Your Majesty stares at me like this, I will be embarrassed." Emine held a few strands of hair from her ears, tilted her head slightly and smiled at Cohen, "Your Majesty, after looking at it for so long, what did you see?"
"You are very impatient! You want to know what I think of you right now, but before that, shouldn't you introduce yourself?" Cohen tilted his head and replied, "If you are just an ordinary woman now, what in my heart
The thought will indeed make you embarrassed... Every time I think of the rebel left prime minister turning out to be a beautiful woman disguised as a man, and a woman with a special charm all over her body, I have a rather evil thought in my heart.
"
"How did your majesty know that I would reveal my true identity?" Emine was not angry. Instead, she held the cutlery and placed food on Cohen's jade plate. "This is a potpourri produced in the Erina Empire of the Demon Alliance. It is produced every year.
The yield is only one kilogram, which is very rare.”
"Anyway, you have shown your true face. Is it necessary to keep your identity secret?" Cohen looked at the potpourri on the jade plate. "The output of this thing is only one kilogram per year, which means that even the emperors of the demonic countries have no share.
Enjoy it, but you are using it as an appetizer tonight. Hey! Eating this thing is like eating a golden ticket... Amy, can you give me this thing in cash?"
"Your Majesty's request stumps me. You know, I have everything in my hands, but I just don't have the money! Your Majesty, try this, the taste is different." Emine was amused by Cohen, and then she put away her smile and said seriously:
"Okay! Emperor Sibia, I am not a human, but a dark demon. In normal times, the priests of those demon temples call me Lord Demon General, the first demon general."
"Look! When it comes to official business, everyone is serious and deliberately accentuates their tone, so that others forget that you are the number one demon general. Don't think that I don't know how to speak in an official tone, okay! Your Excellency, the number one demon general
Why did you invite me here tonight?" Cohen's mouth was full of food, and he couldn't even speak clearly. "By the way, you just said that you were a demon, but as a human, I actually
Forget about being surprised, now that you have made up for it, ah - you are a demon!"
"I take the liberty of disturbing His Majesty the Emperor's rest. There is nothing important at the moment." Emine tilted her head to pour the wine. When Cohen screamed, her eyes turned over and said, "Come on.
, I am the number one demon general, and my duty is to make a special trip to meet with the emperor. What’s the matter? I haven’t seen the emperor for a long time, and I am very concerned about it. I want to have a drink with the emperor to reminisce about the past. This trip is especially important.
...Special envoy of Sibia's proposal, am I right in saying this?" As soon as Emine's words came out, Cohen's eyes immediately became sharp, because her words, no matter her expression, tone, or tone, sounded like
It’s very impressive that Cohen pretended to be the Viscount of Silver Moon Lake, and these words were what Cohen said to Prince Riva the day after he defeated Xiangxue.
"Although I knew early on that you were not human, I still didn't treat you as an enemy. I always thought that we would have no chance of direct conflict." Cohen put down the tableware in his hand, and his tone gradually became colder, "It seems that I was wrong.
, you actually followed me."
"You say the emperor is smart! Sometimes you are cutely stupid." Emine's expression was very aggrieved, and her eyes were faintly covered with mist. "Who wants to follow the Viscount of Silver Moon Lake? It's you who went to follow the third demon on your own.
When the general's subordinates met, they said in a disgusting manner, 'The Crown Princess is naturally beautiful and smart, she is truly a model of the royal family', but now they come to accuse me unjustly!"
"The Demon General has too many men, right?" Cohen shook his head and replied with a playful smile, "I blamed you wrongly, so you don't have to cry to me, right? If the princess knows that I made a girl cry outside, then
I have to cry..."
"It's okay if you want me not to cry, but... you have to tell me, why did Sibia attack the demon empire several times?"
"This is a minor dispute between empires. There is no need for the First Demon General to personally intervene, right?" Cohen picked up the wine glass, "Besides, I don't have to explain to anyone what I do."
"Of course I don't need to worry about minor disputes between empires." Emine pressed forward step by step, "But when two divine empires join forces to attack demons, this is no small dispute."
"What? Are you going to ask your concubine to force me with a sword again?" Cohen smiled, "Today is different from the past!"
"Of course I know that today is different from the past, but I still want to give it a try." Emine leaned forward, put her beautiful chin on the back of her hands, and looked straight at Cohen with her big eyes, "Since it was proposed by His Majesty,
, Fogg, show your sword.”
A cold brilliance flashed, and two dazzling daggers appeared in Fogg's hands. (To be continued)
