Late at night, in the Dark Moon Palace, the meeting hall.
Chen Rui showed surprise: "Old Gauss is missing?"
Xi Ya showed a serious look, and nodded: "This is an urgent message I received two days ago from Ji Ya from the Shadow Emperor."
"Jiya went to the Shadow Empire?" Chen Rui was surprised again, no wonder he didn't see her.
The thing is like this, when General George came to Dark Moon last time, he rescued a young man, who was the eldest son and first heir of the Custer family, the largest business family in the Shadow Empire, named Deo, because of family struggles He was plotted against and almost died, but was rescued by General George while fleeing. Shia and George's plan is to support Dio to the top, which will be a huge boost to Dark Moon's economic development.
While Chen Rui was in a coma, Xi Ya sent his right-hand assistant, Old Gauss, to accompany Dio back to the Shadow Empire, helping him regain control of the family, and Ji Ya was also in the company this time.
The reason is that Dio saw Ji Ya by chance, and he was shocked, and then couldn't extricate himself. The young master, who has always boasted of being romantic, is determined to impress the beautiful Miss Succubus with his diligence and infatuation, but he fails repeatedly. After learning that the succubus who fascinated all living beings was actually the maid of the security officer Chen Rui, Dio still did not give up, and made a request to the eldest princess to let Ji Ya accompany her back to the shadow capital.
Considering Chen Rui's current situation and unable to detect Ji Ya's secret, Xi Ya agreed to Dio's request, and Ji Ya, old Gauss and Dio returned to China together. However, Xi Ya also explained that this time Ji Ya was accompanied by the old Gauss' assistant. If Dio can really successfully control the Custer family, then he can consider asking the sheriff Chen Rui to agree to give Ji Ya to Dio.
This promise was a little watery, because Chen Rui was still in a coma at the time, if he hadn't woken up, even if Diou really controlled the family, without Chen Rui's consent, Ji Ya would still be the magistrate's maid.
Seeing Chen Rui's displeasure, Xi Ya frowned slightly: "Why, you can't bear to part with this beautiful maid?"
"This 'beautiful' Ji Ya is clearly a task that His Royal Highness the Eldest Princess forcibly pushed me." Chen Rui smiled wryly and shook his head, but there seemed to be a little bit of sourness in Xi Ya's words just now, woman!
In fact, it is too common to donate servants and maids in the Demon Realm. Previously, Ji Ya was taken over from Alice by Chen Rui, let alone out of such political needs. To be honest, Chen Rui really felt a little uncomfortable. After getting along with Ji Ya for so long, the little thoughts at the beginning have basically disappeared, leaving only some friendships like friends. At least until some truth is revealed, the two are still friends as masters and servants.
Now Xi Ya "trades" her to others like a commodity, which is undoubtedly a blow to men's possessive desire.
Finally, Xi Ya also considered Chen Rui's power (feelings), and directly gave Ji Ya to Dio without using the lord's privileges, but only as an assistant.
Old Gauss's strength appears to be a high-level demon, but in fact, he can use secret techniques to upgrade to the level of a demon king, and he is resourceful. Without the support of old Gauss, she would not have been able to control Dark Moon so quickly. Originally, old Gauss was in charge of the grain base. Because the Custer family had a lot to do with it, Shia sent out this trump card. Unexpectedly, he couldn't achieve the goal, and he also mysteriously disappeared.
Chen Rui thought about it for a while, and said, "Let me go to the Shadow Emperor this time."
"No!" Xi Ya immediately rejected the request. What she was worried about was not Chen Rui's ability, but his safety.
"The sanctions imposed by the imperial capital have not been effective as they should be. We should be keeping a close eye on Dark Moon now. I have not made it public this time, and I am still unconscious to the outside world. I can just hide in the dark and carry out this matter. "
"It's too dangerous, you don't even have the strength to protect yourself." Xi Ya shook her head, and Chen Rui just woke up from that coma, and he couldn't make him more dangerous and unpredictable in the Shadow King Capital.
"Araux and Agulie have both broken through to the demon king level now. Araux will stay to take care of the cloak and help Athena train the guards. Agulie can protect me and go, and with the power of inheritance Next, I should have the strength of a low-level demon..." Chen Rui nodded: "Not only this matter, but I also plan to go to the most important part of the plan in person! Although Dark Moon shows signs of recovery, But in fact, the critical moment has come, and the emperor will use more means to suppress and sanction, if we continue to be passive like this, even if we can barely support, our failure is only a matter of time!"
"Are you going in person?" Xi Ya was startled, it was the most dangerous link, and it could be lost at any time, and Dark Moon couldn't provide any help at all.
In the demon world, the demon king level is only just entering the threshold of strength. Unless it reaches the strength of a high-level demon emperor or emperor, it cannot be considered a real strongman. As for the strength of the "low-level demon", it is just a joke.
As everyone knows, the so-called inferior demons are at least equivalent to the Great Demon King.
"Only by taking a risk can we truly grasp the key point of turning defeat into victory." Chen Rui's attitude is very firm, "There is no more suitable candidate except me, I have already decided."
This tough tone did not make Xi Ya feel unhappy, on the contrary, her heart fluctuated for a long time, and she sighed softly: "You don't have to do this step."
This sentence is a pun. In fact, Xi Ya also understands that with Chen Rui's intelligence, coupled with animal control skills, master-level casting and armor-making skills, there is no need to take such a huge risk for Dark Moon. He even said that he could leave the precarious Dark Moon and join a stronger and safer power.
Why do you want to stay and carry out such a dangerous plan yourself
"I promised General George to assist Her Highness the Princess with all my strength," Chen Rui shrugged, "I will do what I promise."
Just for this reason? Just because of a promise to Athena's... father
Xia Ya felt a little unhappiness inexplicably: "Then, I agree to your request."
For some reason, she suddenly thought of the scene when she first summoned Chen Rui in the palace garden. If she said those words now...
At that time, he was just a human being looked down upon by everyone, with no power or should be called underappreciated...
At that time, she just regarded him as a tool that could play a role for the territory...
At that time, he and Athena were just acquainted...
This human being once said that life is a one-way ticket, there is no way back, and there is no return journey.
Although there are some things she doesn't understand, she understands everything that should be understood.
He still heard the "order" before the sickbed; but, did he know the tears
From that moment on, Xi Ya vaguely understood something deep in her heart, something that she shouldn't have.
"If..." Xia Ya suddenly said two words, and as soon as the words came out, she regretted it and did not continue.
"If it wasn't for General George's request," Chen Rui answered with a sympathetic heart, smiling, "I would do the same."
The displeasure in Xi Ya's heart was instantly replaced by a strange lightness, and her tone became even more hostile: "Hmph! This is your plan! Instead of talking about it here, you might as well think carefully about how to proceed with the plan!"
"The plan can't keep up with the changes, and that link needs to be carefully considered. As for the Custer family... let's talk about it after I go to the Shadow Emperor to see the situation."
Although the voice of the eldest princess was indifferent, the little surprise that flashed in the purple eyes did not hide from the security officer who had reached the level of the Great Demon King. Can Your Highness promise me a condition that is not too excessive?"
"You've gone too far now!" Xi Ya knew that this guy was uneasy and kind when he saw that hateful smile, "Don't forget that I am the lord!"
What about the lord? What about the princess? Her Royal Highness may not know that your sister's Royal Highness has a lot of ambiguous stories such as female bosses and male employees in her collection - of course, such things can only be said in my heart.
"Even if I have the audacity to ask for a reward for my merits! Is the eldest princess really unwilling to agree to such a small... not excessive condition after I risked my life to complete that almost impossible task?"
"Don't get complacent too early!" Xia Ya's teeth were itching with hatred: "Rewards or something... we will talk about it later!"
As soon as this sentence fell, the face of the magistrate suddenly became more exciting, but the almost bad eyes looked awkward no matter how you looked at it.
In the future... there will be rewards
Someone whose mind has evolved to an "impure" state feels parched for a while.
No, we were supposed to be a very pure nerd, but it must be Luo Meng, the one who is close to ink is black! After being in contact with him for a long time, he naturally became obscene. Let's expose some bad deeds of that guy to Delia later, let the evil evil king's eyes tremble under the nightmare pupils!
Xi Ya frowned: "What, is there a problem?"
"No problem!" Chen Rui shook his head quickly. It is estimated that once this sentence is explained clearly, he will be killed by Xi Ya until there is not even a scum left.
"In this case, Your Highness the Eldest Princess." Chen Rui bowed politely, with an appearance of obedient minister, and said solemnly: "Then I will agree as Your Highness, including the 'just' last time. Wu, I believe that when I come back, it will be time for that great plan to be reaped."
great plan? reward
Pun bastard! What the hell are you trying to achieve with this damn plan
Xi Ya finally couldn't control her emotions, and glared at Chen Rui angrily. Seeing that situation, she wished she could burn a certain smiling face into a skeleton with the fire of light and darkness.
…
After opening the palace, Chen Rui is still reminiscing about Leng Meiren's annoyed expression. Compared with the usual coldness that rejects people thousands of miles away, he prefers this expression. Next time, it will be better if it turns into a smile .
The next stop will be the Shadow Empire. Chen Rui stopped in his tracks and looked up at the night sky. Behind the purple double moons, there were bright stars shining.
That woman's eyes are just like this beautiful starry sky.
In an instant, scenes of the past that had been deeply buried in my heart involuntarily appeared in my mind.
This time, can I see... her again
