Realm of Power

"How many days will Miss Charlene stay here? Due to time constraints, I don't have time to see Miss Charlene's peerless beauty. It's really a pity. I wonder if I can see her beauty in Lisbon?" The fat man glanced at the pictures on the wall. The poster looked at the white-sand-masked Charlene again, and asked with undisguised reluctance, "There are still two days left, and then I will go to Lisbon. If this gentleman is interested in Charlene's performance, wait until Lisbon, Charlene doesn’t mind performing for adults alone!”

Charlene chuckled charmingly from the corner of her mouth, exuding a laissez-faire, lazy and dark atmosphere, with an unparalleled sense of elegance, and her eyes were full of flattery towards the fat man. A glance, combined with her proud and tall figure under the white dress, seems to be able to smell her alluring body fragrance.

The black-haired young man next to Tiernarant was somewhat unclear about the details, but the explosive news that Tiernarant was promoted to Chief Administrative Officer of Southern Congo caused such a stir in the Imperial Capital that even the Imperial Ministry of Internal Affairs was in chaos. There are so many influential figures in the world, how could Charlene, who has always been a fan of fame, not know that,

As for the black-haired Central Bian man next to Tiernarant, I am afraid that his identity is not simple. The situation in Central Bia is quite chaotic now. Several major forces are fighting among themselves, and even the Aden people have stepped in to use Tier. It’s not unusual for someone from China to find out Narant’s identity, but I don’t know which side this young man belongs to.

Southern Song people? Southwest Long Family? Or the Central and Asian courts?

Now several major chambers of commerce that originally monopolized Sino-Biyar trade are in chaos because of the Yelu Dynasty. The monopoly situation has disappeared. The major chambers of commerce in the empire are also rushing in. It is destined to be a chaotic war. If you can fight with China A certain force in Biya is on the line and may be able to get a share of this chaos. Therefore, compared with the former Lisbon political affairs officer who is known for his ruthlessness, Ernarante, has Charlene been more interested in this Central and Bian young man for two days? It’s a long road, and I will miss Miss Charlene’s bold eyes. She looked directly at Charlene’s graceful figure, revealing a touch of confusion. She looked like she was fascinated by Charlene, "Miss Charlene, I have a hunch that we will meet again in Lisbon. I hope that then, Miss Charlene will not forget me!"

"How is it possible? Even if I forget Lord Tirnaant, I will never forget you." Charlene's pair of enchanting eyes, with their loving expression and the slightly shy smile at the corners of her lips, Smiling, no man can resist it. "Have you two finished chatting? We have business with Miss Charlene." Anthea snorted impatiently next to her. If she hadn't noticed Tire, Narant's identity Unusually, she might have interrupted the conversation between Fatty Fatty and Charlene. Her keen intuition just now told her that the reason why the political officer named Tiernarant forgave Charlene seemed to be because of this black-haired man. The young man meant it, but the lustful look on his face soon made Anthea feel funny about her guess. She originally had some thoughts about finding out the identity of the black-haired young man, but now they are gone!

The lecher who was so stunned by Charlene's flirtatious look actually stayed vigilant for more than a day. How ridiculous!

Seeing Anthea glare at him with an angry face, and then pull Charlene away, looking at Anthea's graceful back, the fat man's eyes flashed, this Silver Winged Guard really has a Bertrand clan. What part of Ni's style is all about her long and straight legs?

"Your Majesty, that Charlene was actually held in Lisbon by..." Tillnarant, who was next to him, looked at the fat man who was in a daze and said in a somewhat anxious voice.

"Is he a smuggler?" Fatty interrupted him nonchalantly.

"How did your majesty guess it?" Tiernalante looked surprised, as if he had seen a ghost. Just now, he really thought that the fat man was fascinated by this woman, the beautiful snake Charlene, Lisbon's smuggling broker, When Tirnalant was cracking down on smuggling in Lisbonto, if Charlene hadn't been well-informed and fast, Tilnalant would have been imprisoned in the Lisbonto Government Office.

"This Charlene was mentioned in the Imperial Intelligence Department."

The fat man withdrew his gaze from a distance and said in a solemn voice, "I originally thought that the person who could secretly send Crown Prince Martin Fang to Lisbon was a powerful person, but now I found that it didn't seem that complicated. This Martin mentioned in the Imperial Intelligence Department Crown Prince Sharptooth came to Lisbon to serve as an intermediary, It’s not that he has a very deep background as we thought, but more like the identity of a representative of a force. The most likely person is a smuggler. Otherwise, not everyone would dare to transport someone like Crown Prince Martin Liya. Only smuggling merchant ships dare to do this to Lisbon."

"Crown Prince Martin Tooth is following Charlene's path!"

A look of surprise suddenly appeared on Tiernalante's face. This time the emperor secretly met with Crown Prince Martin Liga in Lisbonto. Although Tiernalante was promoted to the chief political affairs officer in southern Congo, he still served as the Lisbonto political affairs officer. Official, this time he used his identity to go south, so it was impossible for the fat man to keep the secret meeting secret forever.

"That's right, and it seems that something is wrong with Crown Prince Martin Liga, otherwise Charlene would not be here, let alone return to Lisbon after two days."

The fat man stretched, and Tillnarant next to him realized why the emperor was so enthusiastic about Charlene just now. After hesitating for a moment, Tillnarant asked, "Miss Bonnie's Silver Winged Guard." Find the smuggler. I’m afraid there’s something going on here. Do you need me to ask Lisbon to investigate it immediately?”

The fat man touched his nose with his finger, shook his head and smiled bitterly, "What are you looking for? If Bonnie really wants to smuggle, there is no need to take the Lisbon route."

The fat man paused, his eyes swept across the crowded port in front of him, and said in a condensing voice, "The Northern Army of Congo controls the golden trade route that extends from the Empire to the Central and Eastern Capital Road in Central Asia. It can be said that 80% of it is The trade between China and Libya is under the control of the Congolese Army. How is it possible that no one is smuggling? Without the protection of the military, It is a fantasy to stay safe on this thousands-mile trade road. With such a golden route in front of her, Berlant Bonnie should not be short-sighted enough to go to Lisbon for smuggling. After all, Lisbon is a sea route! You have to go through the Imperial Navy, and Bertrand Bonnie’s power has not yet penetrated into the Navy.”

"Yes, my subordinate is worrying too much."

Tillnerant nodded in agreement. The Imperial Navy system is completely different from the Army system, and the Imperial Navy Minister is from Dustrentan, a collateral line of the Emperor. Therefore, even if Bonnie Berlant, a disciple of the Emperor, the Empire The navy won't sell much face. If it takes the China-Biya route, it will be too convenient. As long as there is no brain problem, everyone will know which path to choose.

When the boat was about to set off in the afternoon, Anthea and the two girls came back from outside with angry faces. It seemed that the so-called business was not going well, and they seemed to have no intention of exploring the fat man. Anthea finally showed some arrogance and saw Ti Ernarante might even salute slightly, but when he saw the fat man, he just ignored him.

But the more I don’t want to see him, this damn fat man always keeps wandering in front of me, either standing on the bow of the boat and looking deeply into the distance, or glancing in Asiya’s direction from time to time.

Every time, Asiya's face turned a bit livid, and the fingers she held underneath made a crisp clucking sound. It was too presumptuous for this guy. This damn fat man was so bold, it made people feel hot. His eyes are so sharp that he can see through people's clothes. No, I'm afraid it will be useless even if he puts on another suit of armor.

Anthea had never seen anyone with such fierce eyes. She heard that some of the most murderous generals in the army could make their opponents collapse with just their aura when fighting, but they were also figures at the level of killing a hundred people. Lord Bonnie has seen one or two of these true killers on the battlefield, but this one in front of him is just a lustful guy, how could he have such momentum!

Moreover, the black-haired young man was not looking at himself, but at Catalina behind her. Catalina was so frightened that she hid behind her. Her body seemed to be shaking slightly from the pressure, and her rapid breathing was clearly audible. Even so, the other party did not give up, but simply walked past him and came to Catalina, looking up and down with a look of interest. With a glance, "Go away!" Asiya's patience finally broke, and she was so angry that this fat man cursed her with no regard for his grace. "Is Miss Asiya talking to me?" The other party looked stunned, and looked very innocent in a pair of black Asiya could never understand the eyes. That kind of lustful gaze came from these eyes as black as the stars on a summer night. What a pity for a pair of good eyes!

"If you don't get out at the count of three, I will kill you. Even if you have a special status, I will not hold back." Asiya held the knight's sword in one hand and said decisively, although Asiya did not go up. She has never been on the battlefield, and has never actually cut anyone, but her years of practicing swordsmanship have made her posture clearly reveal a murderous intent.

"If I remember correctly, you don't seem to be able to defeat me."

The other party shrugged his shoulders helplessly and spread his hands to show that he meant no harm. He looked past Asiya and glanced at Catalina who was hiding behind Asiya.

As Asia drew her sword with an angry look and looked at the sharp knight's sword pointed at her nose, the other party sighed and said, "Okay, I'll just ask this Miss Catalina two questions and then leave. I just want to Ask, who told you to keep an eye on this ship, and what benefit would killing Asiya bring to you? "

"I... don't know what you are talking about. I am Asiya's companion. How could I possibly"

Catalina's body swayed slightly under the fat man's gaze, with a stunned look on her face. Then a cold light suddenly appeared in Catalina's hand and stabbed Asiya's throat violently. It was a handle The short knife hidden in the waistband of the skirt is so skillful that it is incredible. Asia was completely stunned. She had always thought that Catalina was a pampered aristocratic woman. This time they met on the ship by chance. She only became enthusiastic when she learned that her father was Tomacri of the Imperial Bank. In this way This is not the first time Asiya has encountered this, so she is not surprised.

Only now did I realize that not only was the other party not pampered, but his level of attack was not at all inferior to mine.

From drawing the knife to stabbing himself, it was almost done in one go, without any hesitation. I have never killed anyone before, so I would never be able to do so decisively.

At this moment, the sharp cold air of the dagger made Asiya's hair stand on end. But something happened suddenly. Asiya wanted to hide away in her heart, but her body was completely stiff and refused to obey her orders. Let alone hide. Once it's opened, I can't even move a finger. The only thing I can do is to close my eyes in pain and wait for death.

Then Asiya felt her body being hit by something, and then she let out a painful snort, and an object flew out. It was Catalina. A crossbow arrow shot through the white palm of her hand holding the short knife, and another crossbow arrow shot through her white palm holding the short knife. Shot through her leg bone, the dagger fell on the deck, rolled and hit the side of the ship. I don't know when, Black The hair-haired young man stood next to her, while Catalina had disheveled hair, covering her bloody and injured hand, her legs curled up against the side of the deck, in the hands of several Imperial soldiers wearing black armor and holding Imperial crossbows. The imperial crossbow was pointing at Catalina. Such a huge and sudden change made Anthea's head go blank.

Then Anthea watched helplessly as the black-haired young man stretched out his hand and gently touched her face, seeming to be saying to himself, "Why did Bonnie Berlant send you, a stupid woman, to perform this mission?" So stupid! If I hadn't been watching, do you think you would still be alive today? Such good intentions are not rewarded. Why do you think Charlene walked with you on the street in front of so many people? Just after your death, it can be proven that you indeed went to Lisbon, although I don’t know you. What to do in Lisbon, but one thing is for sure, once she knows that her subordinates died in Lisbon, Bonnie will send troops to Lisbon to take revenge at all costs! And then there happens to be an unlucky guy who gets killed by Bertrand Bonnie, and it’s basically perfect.”

'"Sir, what should I do with this woman?" An imperial guard came over and reported.

"Take the person down and hand him over to Tiernarant. He is better at torture!" The fat man turned around with a stern expression and waved his hand towards the guards. After two days of observation, he had already It can be confirmed that the person who secretly sent the homing pigeon from the ship was this woman named Catalina, and the real identity of the other party is probably not Catalina. She deliberately lured Bonnie Berlant to send out her confidants, and then followed her all the way to Lisbon to ask for help.

Wait until the critical moment to suddenly take action. If the corpse of Crown Prince Martin Liga appears next to the corpse, it will not be a small incident.

The crown prince was killed in Lisbonto in the empire, and the corpse next to him was said to be a close guard of the emperor's disciple Berante Bonnie. The evidence of the assassination of the crown prince was conclusive, and Berante Bonnie attempted to enter Lisbonto to destroy the evidence. At this point, not only the crown prince factions in Martin Liya who want to compromise with the empire have to stand firmly against the factions fighting the empire, but even the entire country of Martin Liya must regard the empire as their mortal enemy and will fight to the death!

Being able to operate Lisbonto's basement so easily made Fatty couldn't help but think of a person, Bai Hu, who also used underground forces to kidnap the princess of the Gangfei Empire to Feize, and finally triggered the conflict between the Gangfei Empire and Feize. Continuing the war, consuming the national power of the two enemies in vain, and picking cheap methods from them, is somewhat similar.

White Fox, Lisbon entrusted the underground forces... Fatty's thoughts even flew to the attack on Tiernarant. Although the original investigation was carried out by a few businessmen, Martin Fang was also a considerable beneficiary in that fluctuation!

After two days of driving day and night, at sunset under the Western Mountains, the surging river ahead was artificially widened. The afterglow of the setting sun made the river water glow with rays of light. The river rushed straight into the huge city ahead, with countless stacked houses. , densely spread like huge spider webs spreading towards the periphery, the rivers up to tens of meters wide, majestic and collision of water, seem so small in front of this huge city with no end in sight.

Finally arriving at the outskirts of Lisbon after a long absence, the atmosphere of a mainland commercial capital has been revealed here.
