Ha ha

When winter came, the entire Shuying group was in a commotion because of a notice.As soon as Xu Chenchuan went online, he felt a wave of excitement.

【Translation-Cat Grass】: "Mianji?"

【Translation-Yu Tarasan】: "The whole group of face base?!!"

[Supervisor-Passerby A]: "Well, the team leader asked us to go to each group to inform that we will arrange face-to-face meetings for the whole group in City A during the New Year's Day. Students who are free to come, please fill out the registration form and indicate the date you can come by the way. , we can arrange a specific time."

[Later-Awen]: "Can I bring my girlfriend with me?"

[Supervisor-Passerby A]: "→→You can bring your family members freely, but your parents are assured that you will come to City A by yourself?"

[Translation-Maocao]: "Actually, there is no such thing as a great god in the world, right?_(:з)∠)_He is just...a phantom...living in our computer..."

……

Xu Chenchuan suddenly remembered that he was so busy with exams recently that he forgot to tell Zhihe about his return to China during the winter vacation.

Now that he has figured out the rules of Zhihe's going online and offline, he glanced at the time and opened the private chat window: "Will you go to the group on New Year's Day?"

【Paper Crane】: "It's too far away, don't go."

[Chris]: "Oh... what city are you in?"

[Paper Crane]: "C City."

"..." So that sentence is too far away, just talking nonsense with your eyes open?Don't even bother to make up a reasonable excuse...

【Chris】: "What a coincidence, I'm also in City C~ I happen to be in China during the Christmas holiday. If it's convenient for you, how about we find time to meet?"

Zhihe agreed very simply this time: "Just let me know when you are free."

"Ok!"

Xu Chenchuan felt that he was finally infected by the excitement in the group.For a moment, he even wanted to go to the group to show off that the "non-existent phantom" was about to appear to him—but his intuition told him that Zhihe would not want others to know.

What's more, I obviously also enjoy this unknown feeling with a more complicated mentality.

"Your Excellency!" said the attendant standing outside the study, "Father Joseph please see me."

Richelieu raised his head from the desk full of documents: "Let him come over."

The guard bowed and stepped back, revealing the man waiting behind him.Father Joseph was tall and thin, dressed in plain gray clothes, he looked dusty.He bowed politely: "My lord bishop."

The corners of Richelieu's mouth sank slightly, showing an unfriendly expression, and quickly crossed him with his hand, as a courtesy: "When did you come back?"

"An hour ago."

"Everything went well on the road? You didn't get hit by a sudden holy light, and you ran back to Rome to worship God?"

"Armand..." The smile on Joseph's face turned helpless, "I have a lot to do on this trip to Rome—"

"Of course, of course. The priest is very busy."

"I don't want to—"

"I don't see where you are reluctant."

"sorry."

"Leave this cheap repentance to your God!"

"My God?" The priest couldn't help smiling again, "Someone seems to have forgotten who the cardinal is."

"Shut up!" Richelieu stood up and took a few steps irritably, "It's like this every time, and it's been a year or so since I left, leaving behind a mess of troubles and a group of unreasonable idiots, leaving me alone deal with..."

"To be fair, I am more efficient when I go out to do things than stay in the country. If you don't directly persuade the Pope this time, Spain probably won't be so obedient, and you will have to deal with more troubles..."

"You went to the Pope for your crusade!"

"It's also to help you. Armand," Joseph said before the other party robbed the white again, "you know in your heart that what I said is the truth, don't you? You just still hate me. When you were exiled, I kept delaying In Rome, leave you alone in that place..."

"The priest is a loyal servant of God, so of course he can't waste his energy on such trivial things."

"Don't be like this." As if the stagnant water was rippling, the priest's always calm face showed a stinging expression for the first time.He took two steps forward, tentatively holding the bishop's thin shoulders, "I didn't know you were so sick at the time. No one told me that you had already made a will. But I should know..."

The bishop sneered slightly, turned away from his hands slightly, and sat back on the desk again: "Explain, what made you go for so long?"

What this means is that he has finished his anger, and now it's his turn to get down to business.Joseph sighed, walked to a map hanging on the wall, and stretched out his index finger on it: "For here."

Richelieu slowly raised his gloomy gaze.

"This place is where the common interests of Catholicism and France lie. His Majesty the Pope's eyes are fixed on this place all the time, and he knows that you are also watching and waiting. This whole city is occupied by Protestants. A Protestant base has been drawn within the French border... and they are located on the coast, colluding secretly with Britain, which is a big threat to the unity of France and the security of the border."

Joseph quietly looked at the bishop's expression. "The Pope wants me to convince you to fight a war."

Richelieu suddenly laughed.

—La Rochelle, La Rochelle!

When the lights came on, the conversation in the study was still going on.None of the guards dared to approach the closed door, if they accidentally let a sentence or two of conversation drift into their ears, this little life would never be saved tomorrow.

After all, although Father Joseph has no rank, he is famous far and wide.He is the cardinal's most trusted friend and most capable assistant--the shadows that cannot exist under the cardinal's great halo are all under his control.He held the immaculate white cross in his left hand, and the huge, complex and pervasive intelligence network in his right hand, and all the conspiracies of those spies, secret sentries, and killers all served the interests of the cardinal.He is dedicated to goodness, full of nobility, kills and silences, and does whatever it takes.If Richelieu is an enigma, Joseph is a black hole that cannot be pryed into.

By the time the long conversation in the room ended, it was already late at night.The candlelight dragged the shadows of the two sitting opposite each other across the ground and covered the wall.The map was being laid out on the table, and the Bishop's fingertips were pointing up and down where La Rochelle was.

"France is in ruins, and Britain is watching. We can't afford to lose any war. But this disaster will only get worse and worse, and time is running out." He sighed heavily, "The cancer must be removed as soon as possible. This battle It must be fought, whether it is success or failure... I will bear all of it."

Joseph looked at him with a smile: "I will help you."

"why?"

The priest was taken aback: "Of course it's because—those Protestants should have been punished by God."

"Really." The bishop responded lightly, and closed his eyes tiredly, "It's getting late, the priest is tired from the journey, let's rest early."

Joseph bowed, got up and walked towards the door.

"...But why are they guilty? They just want to protect themselves..."

The priest stopped in his tracks.The bishop still had his eyes closed, and his voice was as soft as if he had entered a ghost.

"When I die, I will definitely go to hell."

The tail sound dissipated into silence.

Joseph stood motionless by the door, as if solidified into a sculpture.After a long time, he finally moved his dry lips and said with a smile, "I'll go down with you."
