"That's not certain!" Constance smiled slightly and said modestly: "There are hidden dragons and crouching tigers on the Yama continent. Maybe there will be a more powerful swordsman than me participating in the competition this year!"
Prime Minister Kohl chuckled and interrupted the conversation between his nephew and Kasper. He raised his glass high, saluted every minister and general present and said: "Come! Please let us all drink together.
With this cup, I wish the imperial soldiers fighting far in the north to sweep away their decline, win an early victory, and return to the court with their troops!"
"Drink together!" Heisuo followed the example of Casper and others beside him and drank it all in one gulp, secretly remembering the appearance of Constance, the number one swordsman in the imperial capital.
After three rounds of drinking, Prime Minister Cole put down the wine glass in his hand and said with a smile to Hesso, who was sitting next to him: "Casper has told the truth more than once that you are a young man with love and righteousness, not someone like you."
Tracy Milodil is generally selfish. The truth is that I specially invited you to attend this banquet today. The purpose is to see how sincere you, Damian Hesso, is? Are you also a member of the Tracy family?
!”
Heisuo gently put down his wine glass, thought carefully before replying carefully: "Your Majesty, Prime Minister, you said this, which made me not know how to answer. As a subject of the Tracy family, I dare not go behind my back."
You are talking nonsense and saying bad things about your master! And Lord Milo has always had great trust in Beizhi. He and the Prime Minister serve as ministers in the same palace and serve as officials in the same dynasty for the benefit of the entire Black Dragon Empire, so Beizhi believes that he is loyal to Mi Luo.
There is no difference between Mr. Luo and Mr. Prime Minister of Loyalty, they are all the same!"
"Captain Black Solo is really good at talking!" Prime Minister Cole raised his head and laughed, using the action of picking up vegetables to end this sensitive topic. The Minister of Foreign Affairs on his right, Sycrus, quickly said
: "The Prime Minister invites you to come today, and there is something very important that needs to be discussed with you! Three days ago, Marshal McGarrett and the Northern Army fought a battle under Hunterwind City. Regarding the outcome of this battle,
I believe everyone has heard some rumors. Unfortunately, our coalition forces suffered a defeat in this battle. Marshal McGarrett requested emergency assistance from the imperial capital, so His Majesty Emperor Paul ordered the Sixth and Seventh Corps to immediately go to the battlefield.
We must leave the imperial capital and head to the north tomorrow."
Fortunately, it was not our Ninth Corps who went to the north to die! Casper and Hesso exchanged a glance quietly, and secretly rejoiced in their hearts. It seems that the banquet arranged by Prime Minister Cole today is probably the first one.
The farewell reception for the Sixth Corps Commander Sir Alex and the Seventh Corps Commander Luden Doyle.
"Alas!" Luden Doyle, commander of the Seventh Corps, sighed and said: "I feel that this trip to the north is very unlucky! Marshal McGarrett already has a full 200,000 troops under his account. If they are not from the north,
If we are the opponents of the legion, then the more than 20,000 of us could not play any role in the past and could not affect the overall situation!"
"Yes!" Sixth Corps Commander Sycrus also nodded in agreement and said: "I also think that the current war situation cannot be reversed by sending one or two more support troops! The Tracy family has always maintained a repulsive attitude towards us. We
Going to the north will only serve as cannon fodder for them and become a wave of scapegoats!"
Prime Minister Cole listened silently to the complaints of his two subordinates. He glanced at Hesso intentionally or unintentionally and said: "The war is critical. I think Marshal McGarrett will put the overall situation first and will not intentionally embarrass you two with any flaws."
One!"
Hesso lowered his head, not daring to make easy eye contact with Prime Minister Cole. Constance, who was sitting next to him, raised his wine glass, toasted Hesso meaningfully and said with a smile: "The atmosphere of today's reception is great."
It’s a bit depressing, which makes the commander of the Black Suo Qianqiu laugh! But as an imperial officer, I think you should also pay great attention to the war on the front line!"
"That's natural!" Heisuo responded with a toast and said calmly: "Although I have just joined the Ninth Corps not long ago, I am willing to die for the benefit of the empire like everyone else, and my brains will be wiped out!"
Constance chuckled and said with appreciation: "I can understand the loyalty of the Black Suo Qianqian Commander who is dedicated to serving the country, but your Ninth Corps has not recovered its strength in the Battle of Cimmeria, and it may take a period of rest before it can regain its strength.
Set foot on the battlefield.”
"Yes!" Heisuo nodded slightly and said, "My Black Wind Cavalry team is not well trained, and its weapons and equipment are not in place yet. It is indeed not suitable to enter the battlefield and participate in the battle!"
Constance pointed directly opposite him and recommended to Heisuo with a smile: "For issues regarding weapons and equipment, you can discuss it with the Minister of Logistics, Mr. Kamil!"
"That's right!" Prime Minister Cole said after hearing this: "Everyone who is an official in the same court should help each other and cooperate closely! You don't have to be polite when you grow up as a Qianqi Black Suo. If you have any difficulties or needs in the cavalry, please just raise them.
alright!"
"Thank you, Prime Minister, for your kindness!" Heisuo hurriedly stood up to thank him, but he felt even stranger in his heart! Today, Prime Minister Cole and Constance continued to show their kindness to him. What kind of medicine were they selling in their gourds? Could it be that they
Do you really just want to bribe yourself to betray the Tracy family and join their camp?
"It's a trivial matter!" Kamil, the Minister of Logistics, who seemed to have a kind face, opened his mouth and laughed loudly: "Since even the Prime Minister has made excuses, then I will definitely help to provide the weapons and equipment of the Ninth Corps as soon as possible.
Completed for you!"
"Thank you so much!" Kasper and Hesso stood up together and saluted and thanked the Minister of Logistics Kamil. After that, everyone talked about the romantic affairs for a while, and then the commander of the Sixth Corps, Sycruz, and the Commander of the Seventh Corps, Luden said.
He took the lead in leaving the banquet to bid farewell to Prime Minister Kohl, using the excuse of preparing for the army, and returned to their respective stations. Not long after, April, Minister of Foreign Affairs, Kairol, Minister of Propaganda Department, and Camille, Minister of Logistics, also
They said goodbye one after another, and soon only four people, Prime Minister Kohl, Constance, Kasper, and Hesso, were left at the wine table.
Prime Minister Cole coughed slightly, his expression became serious and said: "Chief Black Suo Qianqiu! There are no outsiders in this room now, only a few of us are left. I have something very important to ask of you.
help!"
"Prime Minister, please don't be polite! But it's okay to say it!" Heisuo knew in his heart that he was finally going to get serious. He braced himself and prepared to listen to Prime Minister Cole's formal request.
Prime Minister Cole cleared his throat, lowered his voice and asked slowly: "You personally captured the Lord Babu of the underground city in the slums of the Imperial Capital a few days ago, right?"
"Yes!" Heisuo was stunned for a moment. He did not expect that Prime Minister Cole would suddenly ask about Lord Babu.
Prime Minister Cole frowned and continued to ask with a slightly hesitant look: "So Lord Babu is still being held in the sky prison, right?"
"Yes!" Heisuo nodded again, secretly feeling very strange! Why does Prime Minister Cole always ask about the situation of Lord Babu? Is there some relationship between him and Lord Babu?
Prime Minister Cole sighed and said in a low voice, as if he had something to hide: "The truth is that one of the main purposes of inviting Qianqian Commander Black Suo over today is to ask about the current situation of Lord Babu! I'll tell you the truth.
, this Lord Babu has had a lot of business dealings with our Steve family. Of course, we didn’t know before that he was the head of the spy lurking in the imperial capital in the north! Now he is in the sky prison and tortured.
, I’m actually worried that he’s talking nonsense intolerable and will involve our Steve family as well.”
It turns out that the Imperial Prime Minister really has an unusually close relationship with the Lord of Babu City! No wonder he wants to invite me, a little Imperial Qianqi Commander, over for dinner! Heisuo suddenly realized, and finally understood that Prime Minister Cole invited his former
The true purpose of coming. Prime Minister Cole and the Tracy family have always been at odds with each other. Lord Milodil would not allow Prime Minister Cole to enter the sky prison and get close to his important prisoner, Lord Babu.
"It's funny to say this!" Prime Minister Cole smiled bitterly and said awkwardly: "When you came to my house with Milodil to ask for advice, I told you that there would be clues in the slums that could lead to the North.
Where are the secret agents stationed in the imperial capital! The truth is that this time I really shot myself in the foot and brought myself an unreasonable disaster out of thin air!"
Heisuo was secretly amused in his heart, but on the surface he did not dare to reveal anything unusual and said: "Prime Minister, please don't worry. As far as I know from my humble position, Lord Babu is quite honest and did not talk nonsense in front of Lord Milo.
The Eight Paths involve your Steve family!"
"But if he is not dead for a day, he will eventually become a gunpowder bomb that can be detonated at any time!" Prime Minister Cole looked painful and said nervously and uneasily: "The feud between the Tracy family and the truth is getting deeper and deeper.
I’m worried that Marshal Tracy McGarrett will continue to interrogate Lord Babu after he returns. That guy is as scheming and cunning as a fox, and he’s not as easy to fool as his brother Merodil!”
Heisuo pondered for a while and asked tentatively: "Prime Minister, what should you do if you want to take a lower position? Should you sneak into the sky prison and secretly kill the Lord of Babu City for you?"
Prime Minister Cole smiled, shook his head gently and said: "The truth will certainly not let you take such a big risk! Breaking into the sky prison and assassinating a criminal without permission is a death penalty! The truth only hopes that you will be in the sky jail.
Carve out the roads and the positions of the guards on paper, and then tell us which room the Lord Babu is imprisoned in."
Heisuo turned his gaze to the side of Constance, the first swordsman in the imperial capital, and said with a smile: "It seems that the prime minister is ready to take action himself! I believe that with the strength of Lord Constance, he secretly broke into the sky prison to assassinate an innocent man.
Defenseless prisoners shouldn’t be a problem!”
"This matter is too dangerous! We in the Steve family must not take action!" Prime Minister Cole had a mysterious expression and gently clapped his hands toward the door. As soon as the applause ended, a thin man in black scarf appeared.
The man pushed open the door and came behind Prime Minister Cole without saying a word and standing indifferently.
"Have you heard of the Assassin's Guild?" Prime Minister Cole did not introduce the mysterious man in black behind him to Hesso, but slowly narrated it as if telling a story: "Back then, the Assassin's Guild was on the Yama continent.
At its peak, the president and several elders of their guild were all top swordsmen with extraordinary strength. Unfortunately, they later offended the King of the North, Minos, and eventually fell apart under the attack of Minos.
Disappear!"
Heisuo said "Oh" as a response. He seemed to have heard of the Assassin's Guild when he was a child, but he had gradually forgotten about it as time went by.
Prime Minister Cole did not pay attention to the reaction on Hesso's face, but continued: "My subordinate is a member of the Assassin's Guild. Their organization has revived and was re-established this year. Their guild
The highest creed is to serve customers with all actions. In order to achieve the task, they can do whatever it takes, regardless of life and death, so it is safest to leave it to them to secretly break into the prison and kill Lord Babu!"
"Assassins' Guild? When I hear this name, I feel chills in my heart! The hair on my head stands on end!" Hesou said with a pun, deliberately complimenting the man in black behind Prime Minister Cole, wanting to see what he would do.
reaction, but unexpectedly, after hearing Heisuo's words, this guy remained silent, indifferent, and didn't even blink his eyelids.
This guy's calmness is a bit scary! Heisuo secretly paid attention to it and kept the height and body shape of the man in black in mind for future use! People have to be on guard in troubled times, like this kind of person who likes to do things behind his back.
Those who engage in assassination are the most dangerous. You must be careful and careful about this assassin's guild in the future!
After leaving Juxian Tower, Heisuo suddenly felt like he had jumped on a pirate ship. He helped Prime Minister Cole reveal the confidential information in the sky prison. This was tantamount to betraying the Tracy family in disguise and betraying his own family.
Master Milo.
Kasper had been reticent at the banquet just now. Now he got into the carriage and there were no outsiders around him before he spoke to Hesso: "Do you already feel that you have been dragged into the water by Prime Minister Cole?"
Heisuo frowned and replied very distressedly: "I feel a little bit pulled down! But after all, he is the prime minister of the empire and holds a high position, so he took the initiative to condescend to beg me - I was too embarrassed to refuse him on the spot.
ah!"
Kasper nodded slightly, sighed and said: "I had the same feeling as you at the beginning. Prime Minister Cole is very cunning and has a very deep city. He is not an economical person! I don't think he is completely aware of the situation in the prison.
I don’t know, he is just pretending to be pitiful in front of you, trying to gain your sympathy for him, and taking the opportunity to destroy your loyalty in the eyes of Tracy Milodil!"
