The talks with the Heliopolis Empire this time are not just routine, but their most fundamental purpose is to reach a united front on counter-terrorism between the two countries.
A few years ago, the mercenary corps near Lens was unified into a new force by a mysterious person codenamed "Origin γ". By absorbing and annexing civil armed forces and hosting refugees, it expanded into a behemoth in just a few years.
There have been constant disputes in the Lens area, and various armed gangs have emerged in an endless stream. At the beginning, all countries were in a wait-and-see state, until the so-called "Origin Cult" doctrine spread with the sudden surge of terrorist attacks around the world, and the international sentinel to the alliance. The organization was defined as an anti-human terrorist force.
Just defining them is one thing, actually taking action on them is another. Large-scale and long-term anti-terrorist operations require huge human and material resources, so the proposal has not been passed.
The Heliopolis Empire and the Sheng Dynasty Empire are the representative countries in the eastern and western hemispheres, and are also permanent members of the International Sentinel Alliance and the United Grand Alliance. The two countries, hardest hit by terrorist attacks, are determined to reach an agreement on all aspects before the next proposal, hence the visit.
Prime Minister Heliopolis personally served as the head of the delegation, with a total of 16 members including the third princess.
Hua Mu has been mainly in charge of finance in recent years, and it is impossible for anyone to lose her without a plan involving a large amount of materials and the flow of money.
The Heliopolis Empire has given enough sincerity this time, and Sheng Chao naturally reciprocated, but the national interest is not a child's play, of course, it is inevitable that you will come and go.
The bottom line and rhythm of the talks depended almost entirely on the report issued by the Ministry of Finance, and the pressure on Hua Mu can be imagined.
On the first day, the two countries maintained the demeanor of great powers, and ended their mutual testing in a bland and harmonious exchange.
In the evening, it was a banquet for the visiting group, and Hua Mu finally saw Pei Nu. Although it wasn't a competition, Hua Mu couldn't ignore the third princess because of the white pillow. I thought that the delegation would meet when they arrived, but I didn't expect that the princess who went her own way didn't show up for a day, and didn't arrive until the dinner time.
Bei Nu has entered the tower to study and train since his awakening at the age of ten. Unlike Hua Mu, who is full of noble lady demeanor, he has a military demeanor on his body. She is four years older than Hua Mu. She met several times when she was a child, but because of her background and experience, she never had a deep friendship.
What Hua Mu has to admit is that Bennu is a very attractive woman. And this charm has nothing to do with her status, or even with her beautiful appearance, it is her own personal charm exuded from the inside out.
Confident, free and easy, strong.
Although Hua Mu lost most of her guiding abilities due to Luna's disappearance, she could still clearly feel Bennu's strength as a guide. The object resembles the main figure, and vice versa, Bennu stands out in the crowd like a bright and fiery phoenix.
Such a "rival in love" made Hua Mu feel complicated for a while.
No, she has absolutely no idea of competing. After all, Bai Zhen is hers for a long time, so what is there to compete with her
Hua Mu tried hard not to let herself care about Bennu, and communicated with every guest who came to talk appropriately. Unexpectedly, Benu, dressed in a black evening dress, greeted her with a glass of wine after her conversation with the Minister of Defense.
Hua Mu straightened her back, as if she was ready to fight a difficult battle.
"Long time no see, Your Highness Hua Mu."
The last time the two met was five years ago, when Hua Mu became a princess. It's just that there was no communication between the two at that time, and Hua Mu didn't pay special attention to her.
"Long time no see, Princess Benu."
Beinu smiled and said with deep meaning, "It's boring to talk about state affairs for a day, isn't it?"
As if showing off her absenteeism, the third princess of Heliopolis gave a childish smile.
Hua Mu didn't pretend to be pretentious, and only left a little leeway: "After all, it's work, but I don't know where the princess went today?"
"Of course to work."
Hua Mu raised her eyebrows, and Beinu explained: "Although I am also a member of the visiting group this time, I actually have other tasks to do, so I will not participate in the meeting - that is not what I am good at."
It is understandable that she has a mission, but what is the purpose of specifically telling her the mission
Hua Mu couldn't guess Pei Nu's intention for the time being, so he had to agree: "I heard from the leader a long time ago that Bei Nu, you are a very good guide, and it must be a very important job that will be entrusted to you. "
Pei Nu seemed to be very happy to be praised by the leader, "It's really flattering to be praised by the leader of the Sheng Dynasty. But this task is indeed very important, and I can't complete it alone. I specially applied to your country. The facilitator has obtained consent."
Hua Mu's heart was full of alarm bells, and she didn't even have to guess who the helper she was talking about was.
"I hope our helpers can help you."
You can't ask, if you ask, you lose!
"I won't doubt this. After all, she... White pillow is a very good soldier. Speaking of her, I heard a very interesting rumor recently, and this rumor seems to be related to you, Your Highness."
It's good to hear that, it's not worth her effort!
She will never put up the banner of marriage, but because of this kind of love, she must show it off!
"There is an idiom in the Sheng Dynasty, called groundless."
Beinu's eyes widened, "Is it not the meaning of this?"
"Many people will understand what she means at first glance, and it may be better to put it another way... There is no wind and no waves."
Beinu couldn't help laughing softly - she really didn't expect that this princess who seemed to follow the rules and all the ladies would be so bold and straightforward.
"Is it funny?"
The place where the two stood was not conspicuous, and the conversation between the princess and the princess was naturally enough for people to avoid it. Seeing that Bei Nu no longer concealed it, Hua Mu naturally acted sullenly.
"I didn't expect you to be such an interesting person, Your Highness, but I am very pleasantly surprised."
"surprise?"
Benu looked at her with a full smile, and there was no hostility in his amber eyes.
"You don't have to be wary of me... I and Major General Bai will never develop that kind of relationship without your consent."
The brief pause in the middle made Hua Mu think that it was the surrender of her rival, but she didn't expect that the other party's words in the second half would make her almost drop her jaw.
What does it mean "without her consent"? ?
And is it really okay to talk about such a topic on this occasion? How could the princess of the Heliopolis Empire be so frivolous!
"I don't quite understand what you mean."
Beinu pursed his lips and smiled, with a hint of ambiguity: "If I have time, I can explain... or show it to you. Speaking of which, I actually prefer you to a well-built female sentinel like Major General Bai. Such a delicate and weak noble lady."
Hua Mu finally couldn't maintain his perfect ceremonial smile, it was incredible - to be more thorough, she just stared at Beinu in a stunned manner.
Is she being molested by her love rival
No, no, can you still be called a rival in love
Hua Mu was shocked for two or three seconds, but fortunately, the princess didn't do anything in vain for the past five years, and she quickly calmed down.
"I didn't expect you to be such a humorous person."
Beinu shrugged, "You understand that humor is not a must, but unfortunately this time I have a mission and can't communicate with you in depth. When you come to our country one day, I will make good use of the friendship of the landlord."
Hua Mu has indeed discovered that Beinu's temperament is somewhat similar to her good friend Catherine. But I don't know if it's because I grew up in the tower, compared to the noble lady that Catherine couldn't hide no matter how daring, Benu was more "stubborn".
But it's neither vulgar nor obscene, just right to be included in humor, and I don't know if her beautiful appearance is too good for her.
"Maybe there will be a chance."
However, Hua Mu doesn't have much energy to think about the charm of "rival in love" now. The fact that she was molested not only made her feel that she had lost a game, but also made her feel even more dangerous. Compared with the later talks where the two sides will gradually show their edge, Hua Mu is more worried about the fact that Bai Zhen will accompany Bei Nu on the mission.
This guy even flirts with her, so there's no reason not to flirt with the white pillow! Others are playboys, this is simply a playboy!
She must contact White Pillow immediately when she goes back tonight!
The arrival of Beinu brought a touch of joy to White Pillow of reuniting with her friends, but the additional tasks that followed also made her understand that the other party's responsibility this time was very heavy.
Tari sent her and Liang Jinshen to assist Beinu, but Bai Zhen didn't have much confidence. Compared to the two S-rank sentries and guides, her strength is really weak.
But she didn't want to back down. This matter was not only related to the success of this meeting, but also to the safety of His Royal Highness and His Majesty. On the eve of the mission, the delegation received a video of a terrorist attack threat from the Yuanyuan Religion.
As the first important task of the Response Section, White Pillow devoted himself to it. During the ten-day visit, all routes taken by the delegation must be carefully checked and repeated. She spent the whole day running around with Liang Jinshen and Beinu. Even in the evening, she repeatedly confirmed the safety hazards and added protection. equipment.
The seriousness of the commander was considered a disaster in a certain sense for the subordinates, and it was midnight after the meeting of the response section.
This kind of intensity was nothing to White Pillow at first, but the pain in her left arm was too tormenting, and she rarely showed a bit of exhaustion after finishing work. But the sudden ringtone made her spirited up - it was the exclusive ringtone she set for Hua Mu.
"Your Highness!"
She stopped her half-undressed hand and hurriedly put on her earphones.
"Are you asleep? I'm sorry, I'll contact you at this time."
"Not yet, I just finished the meeting, but why are you so late, Your Highness..."
Hua Mu also just finished talking with her mother and ministers. Although she knew it was very late, she just couldn't hold back her impulse.
"I want to hear your voice."
The author has something to say: I finally figured it out, I thought it would be impossible, I must finish it, and it would take a whole day to relax!
