The next day, Chen Rui was summoned by Jía and came to the palace council hall.
Jía didn't speak, but she stared at him for a while. When Chen Rui was a little nervous, she asked, "You've been back for many days, right? Have you passed the grand master's inheritance?"
"It's only half completed. As for the other half, it depends on my luck. If I'm unlucky, Princess Royal can save the sheriff's salary."
Chen Rui was indeed right. Although the problem of the poison dragon's treasure was solved, there was not much time left before the final and most terrifying Star Conversion stage. This was the biggest test in history. He didn't know if he would survive or die at that time.
Thinking of this, Chen Rui's mood was a little heavier. Before that, I should arrange some things properly.
Jía was very sensitive to Chen Rui's emotional abnormality. For some reason, her heart suddenly felt inexplicably uncomfortable.
Chen Rui returned to normal in a moment. He smiled and said, "I have already met General George. Although I was almost killed by him, I was lucky enough to pass this test."
"Really?" Jía's discomfort was replaced by a strange feeling. Uncomfortable.
This strange uncomfortable feeling was something she had never felt before. General George was Athena's father. And the relationship between Athena and this man … was already known by the entire Dark Moon. In fact, when she met with General George, she specifically made a considerable affirmation of Chen Rui's talent, which left a good initial impression in General George's heart.
After all, Jía was not an ordinary woman. She instantly realized: Why am I uncomfortable? Isn't General George my biggest supporter?
Is it because the capital's recent affairs are too annoying? Jía took a deep breath, "You already know about the capital's sanctions? This news was spread to all parts of the Dark Moon, and people's hearts began to waver. At present, I can still control it. When the food is really reduced, it will probably be very difficult to handle. I don't want to expose the food base unless it's a last resort because this base has just been built, and there are not many food reserves. If the capital takes action, our previous efforts will be wasted. "
Chen Rui nodded and explained his idea of using the western "strategy" to cover the food base. Jía nodded and said, "This idea is similar to mine. This time General George brought a person. This person is very valuable for the development of the West Road trade route."
"Who is it?" Chen Rui was startled. Father-in-law didn't seem to mention it, but Father-in-law spent more time sparring with Paglio. At most, he would ask me about the art of war, but he didn't mention this matter.
"This person is the heir of the Custer Family, the largest business family in the Dark Shadow Empire. He was plotted against and almost killed due to the family struggle. He happened to meet General George who came to the Dark Moon. He happened to meet General George who came to the Dark Moon, so General George rescued him and brought him here. " Jía glanced at Chen Rui, "As long as we can secretly support him to inherit the Custer Family's business, then the important issues of trade or purchasing food can be solved."
Chen Rui understood that Jía's so-called "support" also meant secret control. If this plan could succeed, then the benefit was not only to solve the current crisis, but it would also have an unpredictable huge effect on the future development of the Dark Moon.
"This matter is very important to the Dark Moon, so we have to plan it well." Chen Rui smiled, "Princess Royal actually doesn't have to worry about the sanctions. At least we already have the ability to solve it. What we need now is just how to get through it without leaving any traces. As long as we can survive this sanctions, then the people's dependence on the Red Spirit and the capital will be greatly reduced. It will be beneficial for Princess Royal to win the hearts of the people. "
Jía nodded slightly, and Chen Rui said again, "Even if we get through this sanctions without leaving any traces, I'm afraid the capital will still press on. We must distract the capital's attention. I've proposed several plans before, so we can start preparing selectively. "
Jía looked surprised, "You mean …"
"The boldest plan has the highest requirements for the candidates, but this plan is also very dangerous. Let's talk about it when I have time to think about it." Chen Rui changed the topic, "I have good news to report to Princess Royal. This time I went to the Silent Night Wetland and brought the wyvern Dragons there …"
"What!" Jía couldn't hide her surprise. A group of wyverns! This means … Dragon Rider Legion!
As a matter of fact, the entire Fallen Angel Empire only has one Dragon Rider Legion! If the Dark Moon also has one …
"I temporarily placed them in Mountain Xilang, and Tim sent someone to take care of them." Chen Rui explained vaguely, "The climate of Mountain Xilang isn't suitable for wyverns. The black rainforest area is remote and dangerous. It's inaccessible, and the terrain and climate are very suitable for wyverns to breed. My idea is to build a secret base in the black rainforest area and settle the wyverns first. Then, I'll gradually select soldiers and train the Dragon Riders. However, these selected people must be cautious. First of all, we should test their loyalty because this is related to the Dark Moon's most secret military power. If the news is leaked, then the capital is likely to make a big move or even attack in advance. "
"I understand." Jía nodded and suppressed the ecstasy in her heart. She calmly considered for a while and said, "The candidates for the Dragon Riders will be screened from the imperial guards for the time being. I will let Kaguron investigate from various aspects to ensure the reliability of the personnel."
"Not only that, the guards and the Cloak Gang are also two important forces. The guards eliminated more than half of the people under the training of Athena and Arux. Although the number of people was reduced, the quality was greatly improved. They are gradually on the right track. The Dark Moon has a large population, so we can consider replenishing the source of soldiers. The Cloak Gang is a force in the dark that must not be ignored. I have already discussed it with Aguile. Princess Royal can slowly see the results in the next step. However, the Cloak Gang should appropriately become enemies with other forces under Princess Royal, such as the current Saiful Family. Let outsiders see the Dark Moon's' disunity 'factor and further numb the capital's sight and hearing. "
Out of trust in Chen Rui, Jía no longer questioned Aguile's identity, "You can do whatever you want with the Cloak Gang. I will support you unconditionally."
The surprises brought by Chen Rui were not limited to these, "Now it can be confirmed that Master Xingxing will stay in the Dark Moon. The Cloak Gang will open a magic shop with Master Xingxing in charge. Also, I have mastered some junior master-level casting and armor making methods through the grand master's inheritance. I want to build a secret armory and secretly gather some craftsmen to make better equipment. Regardless of how the interference plan to the capital is carried out, strengthening our own strength is the most fundamental priority. However, the current inheritance is not perfect enough. The construction of the armory can be prepared in advance, but the specific implementation should wait for the next step. "
Master-level casting and armor making skills! Even if it's just a junior master, it's quite amazing!
Jía was overjoyed, and she had a strange feeling in her heart. It was as if she just remembered that Chen Rui still had the grand master's inheritance skills. This was originally Jía's original intention to recruit and employ this human, but as this human's wisdom and talent were revealed, that "inheritance" was ignored instead.
Chen Rui then sorted out a lot of ideas and said his plans and arrangements for various aspects. Jía only felt that the future direction was getting clearer and clearer. While she was appreciating in her heart, she suddenly had a feeling of trepidation. It was as if Chen Rui really wanted to say all his thoughts. If he didn't say it this time, there would be no chance in the future.
Jía secretly stabilized her mood and changed the topic, "You brought too many surprises. I'm a bit distressed about how to reward you now."
Chen Rui's eyes lit up. He was about to speak, but Jía blocked his attempt in advance, "Except for the dance of" only ", you can ask for any reward."
Princess Royal actually remembers the teasing content of the last time so clearly? Chen Rui shrugged helplessly: Any reward? Then I want a kiss? Now the two don't seem to have reached that level yet. He didn't dare to challenge the bottom line of the royal sister boss.
Right …
"Well, please promise me one thing, Princess Royal."
Chen Rui's strange smile made Jía a little nervous, but since she had already said it, she couldn't show weakness. She said with a cold face, "You say it."
"Three words," Chen Rui boldly looked at Jía's purple eyes with a bit of fire in his eyes, "When I say these three words, you can't kill me."
Three words? Could it be …
This damn man! Does he think he can be presumptuous with "a little" credit? Jía felt a burst of anger. For some reason, her heartbeat accelerated a little. Her face had an unprecedented blush. She shouted, "How dare you!"
"Say a word and spare my life, this request isn't too bold, right?" Chen Rui shook his head and sighed, "Besides, I haven't said which three words. Why do you give me this evaluation? These three words may be 'spare my life' or 'how are you' … If Princess Royal must renege on the reward given to me, as a poor subordinate, I have nothing to say. "
Jía was even more annoyed in her heart. She didn't know whether she was angry or other emotions. She gritted her teeth and said, "I, Jía. Lucifer swear by the royal bloodline, when Chen Rui says these three words, I will not kill him no matter what. But only once! "
"Only once? Oh, okay. " Chen Rui scratched his head and smiled, "It's not the right time to look at the situation now. I will choose a suitable time and say the right three words. Princess Royal, remember to spare my life."
"Okay!" Jía had an impulse to punch that hateful smile regardless of royal etiquette. She said rudely, "I'm a little tired. You can leave now!"
Chen Rui initially wanted to take advantage of her and promote some special services such as tiredness massage, but if he pushed the iceberg royal sister into a corner, he was afraid that those 3 words would really become "spare my life" and be wasted immediately. So, he immediately laughed and bowed away.
This bastard man! Can't he just insist and ask for a waltz just now?
I thought I could reluctantly accept that excessive request, but I didn't expect that guy to make an even more excessive request!
An inexplicable resentment surged in Jía's heart. Thinking of the three words unknown, she began to panic a little again. However, the pressure brought by the capital's sanctions and a series of things that had been troubling her these days had disappeared invisibly.
