Chen Rui is sitting in the space of the magic carriage. This magic carriage is a gift from Catherine to Xi Ya. It is an exquisite room inside, and you can't feel the bumps outside at all. Chen Rui is no stranger to this kind of space props. When he first met Catherine, he had been a prisoner in a carriage.
Chen Rui sat on the sofa in the hall, and the scene of meeting Catherine before leaving the Shadow Palace still appeared in his mind.
"I'm really confused," Catherine's eyes showed undisguised suspicion, "It is undeniable that if you look deeper, your so-called alliance country is not a bubble. Maybe... I mean 'maybe', It can become a system that makes the demon world truly peaceful and united, but what I can't figure out is, what is your real purpose for a human being to make the demon world, which can be called a mortal enemy, unite and strengthen? First unify and then control?"
"You think too much." Chen Rui smiled wryly, "I never thought about controlling the demon world at all, I'm just a lazy guy who wants to sleep peacefully with his woman in his arms."
"It's impossible for you not to know that the stronger the demon world, the greater the threat to the human world, especially in this kind of alliance country, the biggest contradiction will turn from the inside to the outside. The demon world has no corresponding enemies, so this external enemy can only be human beings Are you an aristocrat who was abandoned by the human world and wants to lead the demon army to destroy the human world to take revenge after more than a hundred years?"
"Your imagination is too rich," Chen Rui shook his head: "Have you ever considered why the demon world and the human world must go to war? Even if, as the legend says, the demon world covets the sunshine and richness of the human world, then if the demon world Prosperity has reached a level equal to or even surpassed that of the human world. Is it necessary to continue this endless war? As for the sun... I don’t think the demons who have fully adapted to the double moon will be more adaptable to the sun. There is one thing It is worth noting that, judging from the information revealed by Bai Ye at the beginning, the war between humans and the demon world does not seem to be that simple, but fortunately there are still more than a hundred years left, and we have plenty of time to investigate this matter and plan many things, including our future."
"It's you," Catherine lowered her eyes behind the veil, "It's not 'us'."
"It's 'us', definitely!" Chen Rui showed a determined look.
…
"Chen Rui, what are you thinking?"
Xi Ya's voice interrupted Chen Rui's memories. Chen Rui came back to his senses and smiled slightly: "It's nothing... Do you think that I am a bit self-assertive this time? Especially the two-year armistice agreement with Lei Chan, And those terms that may make the Fallen Angel Empire very passive?"
"What we need most now is to gain time to recuperate and develop, and I can feel that your intentions are more than that, and you may have your own plans... I have never doubted the cunning and treachery of a certain human being." There was a smile on Xi Ya's face, with a rare shrewdness, bright and beautiful, completely devoid of the usual indifference and majesty.
"I have to say that your vocabulary of derogatory words far exceeds that of commendatory words." Chen Rui chuckled and held her hand, "Two years... as long as you give me two years, everything will change. As for those The terms... will have unexpected effects, and no matter which aspect it is, the initiative will be firmly in our hands."
Xi Ya was a little surprised, this answer was far above her expectations, but she did not doubt what Chen Rui said, because it was this man's plan that changed the dilapidated Dark Moon Territory and the entire Fallen Angel Empire . This time, it will be the whole devil world that will change.
"Then... I'll wait and see."
"There is a multiple-choice question..." Chen Rui couldn't help but blurt out when he thought of those calm black eyes.
"What?"
"It's nothing..." Chen Rui rubbed his nose, "It's just a man's damned vanity."
"Then, you underestimated women's curiosity." Shea smiled slightly, "I want to hear your multiple choice questions."
"Well, it's just a boring question on a whim," Chen Rui looked into her eyes: "If one day, the empire and I could only choose one, which one would you choose?"
Xi Ya's smile froze on her face, and her eyes dimmed instantly: "If possible, I hope that I will never have such a chance to choose."
"I'm sorry, I shouldn't ask this kind of bastard question," Chen Rui felt Xi Ya's depression, and hit his head hard, "This question is actually the same as the kind of 'falling into the river at the same time', asking Guys with this kind of problem should be kicked into the river, I was obsessed with ghosts just now, don't take it to heart."
"No, this is an unavoidable problem. It should be me who says sorry. Between me and you, I am too selfish. I am not greedy for power, but as a person who carries the hopes of all the people of the empire. Emperor, I can't give up my responsibility, I... "
"I understand." Chen Rui kissed her on the forehead, "You never gave up your responsibility, just like... you gave up the past and became a cold lord."
It's like, she is.
Xi Ya leaned lightly on his shoulder: "The only thing I can do is to trust you unreservedly, even if..."
"There is no 'even if', Shia, believe me, we will never face such a choice, I will always be by your side."
The two embraced, there was no unnecessary words, only warm tranquility.
Xi Ya suddenly raised her head, her face flushed with embarrassment: "Perhaps there is another way, and that is... the heir."
Chen Rui's eyes lit up: "That's right, it's time to plan our future. It seems that in order to realize this method, we still have one very important thing to do? Oops..."
Obviously, a certain mischievous hand was punished by Her Majesty the Empress.
On the tower of the Shadow Palace, another queen watched the carriage of the fallen angel envoy going away, speechless for a long time.
After a while, just now he sighed faintly: "Lilith, if there is one person, she would rather subvert the whole..."
This sentence did not go on, and Lilith on the side felt a little strange, and saw Her Majesty suddenly covered her veil, and there seemed to be a retching sound coming from her throat, and she hurriedly asked, "Your Majesty?"
Catherine's hands trembled slightly, she took a few deep breaths, and finally regained her usual composure. She seemed to change the subject and asked, "Lilith, how is the progress of the military and economic adjustments?"
"Your Majesty, according to your instructions, it is almost finished."
Catherine nodded: "Immediately gather all the ministers for a meeting. I have something important to announce. By the way, Lilith, you should hand over the matter at hand to Xi Lu as soon as possible, but I'm sorry, you can't take a vacation yet, because I There are more important tasks for you to complete."
"Of order." Lilith bowed slightly and stepped back.
After Lilith left, Catherine stroked her abdomen lightly, with a strange emotion in her peaceful eyes, and whispered to herself: "The future? We..."
The results of the Three Kingdoms peace talks quickly spread throughout the Demon Realm, and the soldiers on the border breathed a sigh of relief, especially the Fallen Angel Empire. Although two years is not a long time, at least they can gain precious breathing time.
Compared with those technical terms, the upcoming Battleball League and next year's Alchemist Tournament are more eye-catching, especially the Battleball League, which has aroused the enthusiasm of the majority of Battleball fans.
Of course, the most eye-catching thing is the Demon Realm Martial Arts Contest held by the number one powerhouse Emperor Lei Chan two years later. It is said that Emperor Lei Chan openly invited to fight Agulie, husband of the Fallen Angel Empire, and Agulie has already accepted the challenge. The biggest event in the devil world.
A few days later, two more big news came.
Next month, Empress Xia of the Fallen Angels will hold a grand wedding with Agulie in the Imperial Capital of the Fallen Angels. There have been countless rumors about Agulie's identity before, and the most popular version is "Agulie is the royal family of Beelzebub". But these are just rumors, and Agulie has assisted Xi Ya since Dark Moon, helped her kill Black Yao to ascend to the throne of God, and fought against Lei Chan desperately in Warlock Fortress, but it is a real achievement. Objectively speaking, the status of a husband is just an accessory, just like a queen. If Her Majesty wants to, she can also accept countless "imperial concubines". In the history of the Demon Realm, there are countless such cases.
In any case, with Isia's current prestige and control in the Fallen Angel Empire, there is no objection to the date of this big wedding.
Another piece of news is that Queen Catherine, the Shadow Emperor, will retreat to study the secret treasure of the Asmodeus royal family, the Immortal Puppet. The time is about one year. During this period, the two prime ministers will be in charge of government affairs temporarily, and the army will be asked to retire. The emperor's uncle Flenz came out of the mountain again. People have speculated that Catherine is likely to participate in the martial arts competition two years later, which makes everyone's attention to the martial arts competition rise again.
In any case, the next two years will be highly anticipated two years.
Although Shea had the title of "Iceberg Princess" in the dark moon, and after ascending to the throne, a series of iron and blood methods made people tremble, but Her Majesty's beauty is indeed well-known in the empire, even if it is not as good as The number one beauty, the Shadow Emperor, is not far behind. I don't know how many men are full of jealousy and envy for that Agulie who can kiss the Queen's Fangze. For "Agulie" or the Fallen Angel Empire, the wedding with the Queen is a great event, but for For someone who owns a Crystal Palace, it means the beginning of a shock wave.
Athena: "I have seen His Royal Highness!"
Ji Ya: "His Royal Highness, is there something wrong?"
Isabella: "Hey, so it's His Royal Highness..."
Laura: "What?"
Pagliu: "Hey, the cunning prince is here."
Lomon: "That... Your Royal Highness Captain."
Olivier: "Old... His Royal Highness! My sister asked me to shout like this!"
Chen Rui: "..."
For three days in a row, no matter whether it was Athena, Gia, Laura or Isabella, they all ignored him. When they met, they called him respectfully, and then avoided him.
The male pig's foot in the harem who was singing every night suddenly fell into the predicament of guarding the vacant room alone. This huge gap made the male pig's foot burst into tears.
Obviously, the upcoming wedding with Xi Ya will undoubtedly have a huge impact on the rest of the harem.
Chen Rui knew in his heart that for these girls whose feelings and devotion were no less than that of Xi Ya, or even worse, it was very unfair to just confirm their status with Xi Ya, so Chen Rui made a decision .
Proposal!
In the name of Chen Rui, propose to the girls!
