Realm of Power

The situation in Lisbon has stabilized. With the six major chambers of commerce being inspected by the Ministry of Supervision, no one will mention the incident of fake and inferior imperial arms. The newly liberalized imperial arms trade suddenly showed an explosive momentum. At the beginning, the six major chambers of commerce They joined forces to monopolize the arms trade, resulting in many buyers being unable to buy imperial weapons. Now that they are released, they can be sold in just one day. Two hundred thousand items were sold out, and the transaction volume was as high as six million imperial gold. For a time, the entire Lisbonto returned to its original bustling scene. Carriages and merchant ships carrying weapons came and went continuously. More than three merchant fleets left the port of Lisbon in one day. Thousands of ships and half of the Lisbon port suddenly emptied out, causing all the merchants who saw this scene to call it the "Miracle of Lisbon"

Just when everyone was shocked that this incident was resolved so smoothly, an officer wearing a straight black uniform of the Empire walked into the Lisbonto Governor's Palace and bluntly asked to see the interim Governor Vihari: "I am a close member of the Empire." Matia, captain of the Fourth Guards Corps, the officer took out an order signed by the emperor and handed it to the interim governor Vihari. He smiled slightly, "Your Majesty has arrived in Lisbon. I heard that the special envoy of the First Princess is also here. Your Majesty Hope to meet you”

"Your Majesty is in Lisbon!" Weihari's expression changed and he took a deep breath of air-conditioning. The Empire's fake ordnance incident unexpectedly turned around in a desperate situation. Not only did it not severely damage the reputation of the Empire's industry, but it also improved amidst the scoldings. prices, while countries have also The rush to buy the empire's ordnance turned out to be the emperor himself. It's no wonder that the Imperial Bank, which was led by the emperor himself, swept through the entire financial industry in South Obaro. Even now, South Obaro's face is still changed after hearing about it. , "Go and invite the special envoy."

Weihari wiped the sweat from his forehead, not daring to delay at all, and said to the attendant behind him. Soon, Tierniulis appeared in the hall in a bright red dress. After reading the words in her hand with a stern expression, After reading the order, Tierniulis's eyes turned red, and she crumpled the order into a ball. This time it was really embarrassing. I lost it at home and made this man see a big joke. For a full month, I was completely helpless about the fake ordnance incident in Lisbon, but the other party just made a casual move and reversed the entire situation. Is the gap between me and that man really true? With such a big body, in the eyes of that man, am I pathetically stupid! "If your Majesty wants to see me, you can come to the Governor's Mansion by yourself. I will not go to see your Majesty alone. Of course, if this is a forced order from your Majesty, I can abide by it!" Tiernuris' pretty face was cold, and she looked at the Imperial Guards officer

"Your Majesty did not force the order. Your Majesty just said that the person who attacked the Governor of Tire has been found. If the special envoy is not interested, just pretend that he has not said anything about it." A strange look flashed on the guard officer's face, and he hesitated and said, "Okay." Come on, I'll go with you! "Tilnuris' pretty face couldn't help but move, her chest heaved violently, and she had an unbelievable look on her face. In order to track down the murderer who attacked her brother, Tiernuris has been investigating Lisbonto for four months, almost turning Lisbonto upside down. However, it is like disappearing out of thin air. There are no clues about the attacker at all, so that Tiernuris has lost confidence in the investigation. She doesn't believe that this man has only been here for a long time and he has already found the murderer?

Under the leadership of the Guards officer, she got into the carriage waiting outside the Governor's Palace. As the carriage drove out of Lisbonto, what appeared in front of Tiernuris was a four-story white marble building with an iron door. The gate opened in front of the carriage, and the mark hanging on the iron gate indicated that this place belonged to the Imperial Bank Industry, if at the time of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, the power of the Imperial Bank was only a vague concept, then after four months in Lisbon, the commercial center, Tiernuris has become quite clear that the Imperial Bank controls the entire business. Valve is also a tool to transform commercial power into national power.

Tirnulis's eyes flashed, a little uneasy, her red lips murmured in a low voice, the carriage drove into the courtyard of the villa, passed through a long corridor in front of a small building with a circular flat field, The carriage stopped, and a beautiful woman wearing a dark purple dress was already standing on the steps. Her slender waist was even more slender under the light behind her.

"Miss Tire? Although this is the first time we have met, I have heard your brother mention your name many times." The beautiful woman walked down the steps with a graceful figure and stretched out a hand to Tiernuris.

"Do you know my brother?" Tirnulis looked a little nervous. The other person was really gorgeous. She wore a double-layered gauze skirt with complicated patterns and a gorgeous double-layer gauze skirt. Under the knee-length gauze skirt, her legs wrapped in plain white pantyhose were exposed. , wearing a pair of shoes studded with crystals on her slender feet, which even showed off her uniquely long legs. But what puts Tierniulis under the most pressure is that the other party's extremely gorgeous face exudes the aura of a superior person, which is the temperament formed by a real person in power for a long time. If the two were not different in appearance and height, Tiernuris almost thought that the first princess of the empire, Mao Monaqing, had arrived in person.

"My name is Sokutus Stellan. I think your brother should have mentioned me to you." The beautiful woman held Tirnuris's hand and did not let go immediately. Instead, she winked with her charming eyes and raised her mouth. Showing a kind smile, "Speaking of which, you and I are kindred spirits. We are both from Wikiia. And if I remember correctly, your nickname seems to be Fire Rose."

"You are Sokutus Stellan!" Tiernuris' pretty face changed color and her body trembled slightly. For the entire empire business community, especially the commercial center of Lisbon, the name Sokutus Stellan itself represents a legend. , representing the absolute control over the empire’s business, Black Rose Sokutus Dailan, also known as "Queen, Sokutus Dailan", has expressed his admiration for this woman many times in his brother Tiernarant's letters. If there is really a woman who is Tiernan As for Liz’s idol, the Sokutus Stellan in front of her is definitely one.

"Okay, Your Majesty is still waiting for you, so I won't go in." Unknowingly, Tirnulis came to the door of an office. Two guards standing at the door opened the door and held Tirnuli's hand. Sokutus Stellan, who was holding Lisi's hand, stood on the other side of the door, revealing the door of the back room. Tiernuris walked in bravely,

"I thought you wouldn't come?" The black-haired emperor raised his head from his desk with a half-smile expression on his lips.

Tiernuris' pretty face was pale, and the other person's gaze was so hot. She felt like a little woman selling herself, allowing others to carefully appreciate her. Although she wanted to resist, she didn't have the strength to resist. She was as arrogant as before. and contempt, disappeared quietly without knowing why. The damn fat man sat opposite her, dragging his cheeks, his eyes did not hide the feeling of looking up and down, and stared unceremoniously at Tirnuris's increasingly perky breasts. The genes of the Tyr family are quite good, and Tyrneuris' breasts are already quite impressive. Seeing the fat man staring at her breasts unscrupulously, Tyrneuris was ashamed and angry, and wanted to get angry, but she couldn't. The attack didn't come out, and she didn't know why. The expression on the fat man's face made her feel a little weak and weak all over. She actually wanted to beat him up and vent out all the grievances she had received over the years. Because of what happened back then, no one in the entire empire dared to propose marriage to her. Unknowingly, she was already twenty-five years old. Well, in an era when you are already getting married at the age of fifteen, you are already an old woman at the age of twenty-five.

"What do you want?"

Tiernuris felt her cheeks were a little feverish, but she still managed to hold it back. I thought fiercely in my heart, let you see, let you see, I will blind your eyes! Thinking of this, she actually felt a little mischievous, and inadvertently raised her breasts, fully displaying them in front of the fat man, and sure enough. The fat man was so surprised that he looked at Tierniulis in surprise, and the look in his eyes that was deliberately meant to make fun of others disappeared. Although Tiernuris's face was flushed and ashamed, she actually felt a happy feeling of victory in her heart. She thought viciously, tell you to look, tell you to look, let's see if you dare to look again!

There was a gentle knock on the door, and Tiernuris hurriedly returned to her original position. But the shameful look on her face could not be concealed. Instead, the fat man seemed to be very open-minded, and his eyes fell on her breasts, without feeling shy at all. The door opened slightly, and Sokustedelan came in with a water glass. She looked at this and that with a smile. Her meaningful smile made Tiernuris feel that her ears were red. If there was a hole in the ground, she would definitely get into it, as if she felt that she was It's like seducing a fat guy. But the fact is completely different. If it weren't for the murderer who attacked her brother, she would not want to meet the emperor at all. "I'm sorry about your brother's attack. As for the murderer, everything is in this report."

The fat man coughed dryly, pulled out a report from the table, and suddenly said sternly, with a serious look on his face, as if this sentence was said after countless careful thoughts, and it was definitely not a joke. . Looking at Tirnuris's suppressed blushing face, Sokustedeland took off the report and stuffed it into her hand. Looking at it from the side, it felt like a cat playing a game with a little mouse. The cat had the upper hand completely. No matter how powerful and smart the little mouse was, in the end he could never defeat the powerful cat. "this……"

She opened the report in her hand and glanced over it. The more she looked at it, the more shocked she became. It took more than ten seconds before she closed the report and gritted her teeth. "Even if the other party is the Duke of Putao, he is attacking my brother." We can’t just let things go like this! “In Tierniris’ view, Duke Putao is undoubtedly very important to the empire, and this time he will She came here secretly, just hoping that she could expose this matter, so Tiernuris had already determined in advance that Fatty Fatty must suppress this matter. Anyway, they have been investigating for several months, and nothing has been found. It's normal to find any reason to terminate after coming out. How can this be done? How can this matter be left alone?

"Duke Putao has committed suicide out of fear of crime!"

Sokutus Stellan gave Tirnuris a slightly strange look, and what he said made Tirnuris stop talking. She looked at Tirnuris's suppressed red face, Sokutus Stellan couldn't help but feel a little sympathy for her fate. She was also a woman, so why couldn't she see Tierniuris' entanglement of loving and hating the emperor? "I don't want to pursue this matter even if the person dies." , this is the result, and the investigation ends here." The fat man took a deep breath, looked at the stunned Tiernius, picked up the tea cup, and blew the hot air from the tea very gracefully, letting It slowly spread in the air. "But if it weren't for your investigation, or Lisbonto wouldn't have fallen into that dangerous situation, please give me an explanation for this matter."

"What do you want?" Tirnulis gritted her teeth and looked at the fat man.

The fat man put down the tea cup in his hand and smiled slightly. "Eero has sent a new person to negotiate the arms transaction. I decided that Sokustedelan and you will be responsible for this matter. This time, Eero said that it will only use the current price." Half of the total, so how to get real benefits to the empire is the key to your negotiation. I think just one port is too little. If Eero wants to buy ordnance from the empire at a low price, he needs to come up with at least one province. Come with sincerity!”

"I'm afraid this will be difficult. Although the Eero people were beaten to the royal capital by the Order State, the coastal areas are still under its control..." Tirnuris looked impossible and asked four people to stay in Lisbon. The moon was not in vain. The situation in the south was still quite clear. When the Order State invaded the Eero Empire, Fight from east to west, directly from the inland provinces, and it will not involve much of the coastline of the Eero Empire. "Sokutus Stellan will do this. You are just a deputy, and your main responsibility is to coordinate with the Governor's Mansion." The fat man shrugged his shoulders, clearly indicating that your abilities are limited and I didn’t expect you to

"You!" Tirnuris's eyes bulged with anger and she wanted to turn around and leave, but an incomparable force seemed to hold her firmly.

The fat man said casually: "Don't be angry! It's just a joke. This time the Ero people came with bad intentions and said they had obtained evidence that the fake ordnance came from the empire, so this matter is a bit tricky. The best The best way is to find a new person to discuss with them. The fake ordnance incident occurred when your brother was in charge of the Governor's Palace in Lisbon. This responsibility cannot be shied away from. The blame, your brother is now recovering from his injuries, then only you will bear the responsibility, and the whole of Lisbon knows that you have been investigating the assassination of the Governor for several months, and this is the person the Eero people hope to win over, you just need to show With a little cooperation, Eero will believe that you are on their side without hesitation, and the rest will be Sokutus Stellan's business."
