A few days later.
The sun is rising on Juggernaut Island.
In the eastern suburbs of the city, x. Drake stood outside the iron gate of the Sheriff's Department, looking forward to it.
As for why he is here, it is shameful to say that it is because his eldest brother was caught engaging in prostitution again...
I entered the police station last night and was detained for one night. After paying a fine, I could be released in the morning.
Squeak~
At eight o'clock in the morning, the iron gate opened, and Wen Xi walked out of the Public Security Bureau with a depressed look on his face.
After seeing X. Drake, he immediately gushed and complained:
"Nima, this is so evil. The Public Security Bureau just happened to catch me in five raids against pornography. Did that bastard Lu Qi send someone to follow me? It's really abominable. I invited you to dinner many times in vain..."
10·Drake: “…”
(￢_￢;), you were present during the five anti-pornography campaigns, shouldn’t you reflect on yourself?
A big brother like this...
Alas, it's hard to explain in one sentence. Fortunately, prostitution is not a felony. He will only be detained for one day and fined 100,000 beli. Otherwise, Wen Xi might have been jailed.
Wen Xi didn't notice a trace of disgust in his younger brother's eyes, and was still nagging:
"I think there is something wrong with the kingdom's laws in this regard. Why is it illegal to solicit prostitutes, but you don't have to go to jail or be fined for keeping a mistress or having an affair? This is totally unreasonable..."
x·Drake: "..."
Makes sense...
Ah, he actually started to identify with the idiot. This sign is too dangerous.
Wen Xi was indignant: "Cheating, cheating, and keeping mistresses should be punished and severely punished. They should be fined and punished to death!"
"..."
"Uh, Derek, why didn't you say anything? Do you think I'm quibbling?"
"...No, no, what brother said makes so much sense. It's a genius suggestion. I think you can write to the Ministry of Justice to give some feedback."
x·Dres recovered from the confusion and hurriedly apologized with a smile.
Although he is mmp in his heart.
When Wen Xi heard the compliment from his younger brother, he scratched his head and said a little embarrassedly: "You also think I am a genius? I actually think so too. I have a deep understanding, understanding and thinking about the shortcomings of the kingdom's laws...
But you have to keep a low profile and don't publicize the fact that I'm a genius. "
x·Drake: "..."
(?_?)
I understand. From now on, when you meet people, you should always praise you as a genius, right?
Wen Xi put his arms around his younger brother's shoulders, walked forward with a smile on his face, and said:
"Xiao Dezi, let's go. My eldest brother is out of jail today. I'm very happy. I'll treat you to a big dinner later."
x·Drake: "..."
I understand, the eldest brother has just been released from prison and is not in a good mood, so he has to take the initiative to pay the bill after the meal. He must not make the eldest brother sad and spend money...
Ah, what the hell!
After being undercover for half a year, Derek had already figured out Wen Xi's virtues.
Even if he farts, he knows what he ate last night.
It's a pity that it's useless to know it thoroughly.
Wen Xi is a proficient at eating, drinking, prostitution and gambling, but he is also shameless and has no moral integrity at all.
His whole body was rotten, and the mud could not hold him up against the wall, but it made it impossible for people to catch him.
As the saying goes, a tree without bark will inevitably die; a person without shame will be invincible in the world. He's so messed up and has no face left, what can you do to him?
x·Drake has reported anonymously many times that he has neglected his duties, but it’s useless.
Wen Xi is one of the elders of the Lionheart Pirates. Except for Rob Lucci who likes to tease him, the big bosses in the kingdom will give him some bad reviews.
"Xiao Dezi, the lifelong general has returned with a great victory. He is planning to hold a small private celebration party tomorrow. I will definitely go there to support him. Therefore, the official business of the Propaganda and Organization Department tomorrow..."
"I understand, I will definitely handle it properly."
"Haha, very good... Counting the time, the fleet led by Brother Xiliu can return to Sword Saint Island the day after tomorrow. I will definitely go to pick him up and cleanse him, so-"
"I understand. I will take care of the official business these days."
"Haha, very good... Um, I forgot to mention that Princess Reiju's birthday is next week. I will definitely spend some time preparing gifts to congratulate you, so next week's business-"
"..."
"Hey, why didn't you say anything? Do you dislike my elder brother?"
"No, no, the eldest brother has a heavy responsibility and has many things to do every day. I understand that he can't spare time. I will leave the trivial matters in the Propaganda and Organization Department to the younger brother."
"Hahahaha, you kid is on the way, my elder brother doesn't always love you in vain."
x·Drake: "..."
(????), shit.
Can he hit someone?
Excuse me, can he blow Wen Xi’s head off?
If you work overtime, you will always be there for him. When you are eating, drinking and having fun, you will never call him.
If you treat him to a meal occasionally, he still pays...
If he hadn't been an undercover agent and had to keep a low profile and be patient, X. Drake would have been able to choke the bastard Wen Xi to death.
He had never worked so hard when he was a rear admiral.
"Stop talking, let's go for a walk and eat first."
"Okay, brother."
At the entrance of the Public Security Bureau, Wen Xi and 10 Derleth looked like they were good brothers, arm in arm, walking towards the city center talking and laughing.
Fourth floor, director's office.
The werewolf Gabra stood by the window, looking down at the two people drifting away below, shook his head and said:
"Why not just arrest the undercover agent planted by the navy? Instead, let Wen Xi hang."
"The reason why spies are so harmful is because they are hidden. Spies whose identities have been exposed are not called spies, they are just meat on the chopping board."
Lu Qi, with dark circles under his eyes, sat behind his desk, sorting out a pile of documents that were higher than his head, without raising his head.
Keeping X. Drake is far more valuable than capturing him directly.
Now that the identity of the other party's spy is known, there are too many ways to play and play. For example, the kingdom can accidentally "leak" some information to the navy through X. Drake, and even develop him into a spy without knowing it. Double agent.
Not surprisingly, 10. Drake can successfully "lurk" in the Lionheart Kingdom for a long time, as long as he is still valuable.
I won’t mention the dirty tricks involved.
Gabra nodded, as if he had thought of something, his face looked a little solemn:
"Recently, espionage activities on the island have become somewhat rampant. Penetration from various forces, especially the CP agency and the intelligence agency of the Navy Headquarters, has suddenly increased a lot."
Lu Qi then raised his head, glanced at him, and said, "Is this why you came here today?"
Gabra sneered and nodded: "Someone is planning to bribe me. It's mysterious. I'm hanging on to see if I can conduct reverse reconnaissance and infiltration."
“Let me know if you need any support.”
Lu Qi also had a sneer on his face. Compared to Gabra, his smile was more cunning and cruel, making people shudder like a poisonous snake lurking in the shadows.
Recently, there has been an undercurrent in the Lion Heart Kingdom, with spies, killers and spies trained by various forces pouring in.
Their disguises are diverse, including ordinary tourists, little pirates, gangsters, gangsters, tramps, circus, socialites, folklorists, famous singers... covering almost all walks of life, with a large number of people and complex sources.
The Public Security Bureau and the Secret Service arrested batch after batch of spies, but they still could not stop the madness of those people.
"There is nothing we can do, the tree is big and attracts the wind."
Gabra sighed, feeling a little headache and a little proud, "We have done too many great things that shocked the world during this period."
Admiral Fujitora led his troops to intercept the Big Mom Pirates and successfully forced Big Mom back, making him famous all over the world.
Admiral Ame no Kiriru led his troops to Onigashima, during which he confronted the red-haired pirates and fought with the navy headquarters, which caused an uproar throughout the world.
His Majesty Ren even entered the Holy Land single-handedly, destroying half of Mariejoia in an instant, and the world was shocked...
Three major events that shocked the world, involving six top powers including the Beast Pirates, the Red-haired Pirates, the Big Mom Pirates, the Nine Snakes Pirates, the Navy Headquarters and the World Government, all with their lion hearts. Kingdom related…
One can imagine how noisy public opinion is at sea now.
The kingdom is a little better, generally stable, but there has been a lot of noise outside.
The terrifying strength displayed by the Lion Heart Kingdom has made many people realize that another true world hegemon was born.
Except for those shady spies, there was an endless stream of people coming to the Lion Heart Kingdom during this period, with various purposes and calculations. In order to deal with them, everyone was a little exhausted.
Lu Qi, the director of the Public Security Bureau, had dark circles under his eyes.
This is also the reason why X. Drake is so angry and hating Wen Xi.
There have been a lot of things going on recently, and everyone is almost too busy. Wen Xi is fine, he is still eating, drinking, whoring and gambling, leaving all the work to him.
…………
Hongye Hotel, top floor.
In the private room, a table of dishes has been ordered, including cold meats with sausages, mushroom salad, curry beef brisket, grilled beef tenderloin with black pepper sauce, pan-fried lamb chops, spicy chicken breast, seabass in tomato sauce... all kinds of delicious food are making people want to eat. Big move.
However, x·Drake felt uninterested when he thought that he had to pay for this table himself.
My treat, please be paralyzed.
There are also prepared cocktails, juices, red wine and other drinks on the table.
"Come on, let's celebrate my release from prison today. Cheers." Wen Xi picked up a bottle of mellow and sweet champagne and clinked a glass with his younger brother.
"cheers."
x·Drake clinked a drink with him, with a smile on his face but no emotion in his heart. He even wanted to hit someone.
When will these miserable days end?
The depression was only momentary. He quickly regained his composure when he thought that he was the most successful and senior spy deployed by the Navy Headquarters within the Lionheart Kingdom, and was responsible for an extremely important historical mission and arduous task.
After drinking a few drinks, seeing that the atmosphere at the wine table was good, x·Drake forced a happy smile on his face and asked casually:
"Is His Majesty the King back?"
"The Emperor should be... back." Wen Xi scratched his head and said a little uncertainly.
Drake: "..."
(?_?), you don’t even know this, how dare you call yourself the number one scoundrel under Emperor Rennes?
"Emperor Renn" is a title given by the people, with a bit of ridicule. It is probably because the people of the Lionheart Kingdom feel that their king is too arrogant, and can only be described as the emperor.
A few days ago, as soon as this title came out, it quickly became popular all over the sea.
The origin of this title really has something to do with Wen Xi. It was he who snatched the phone bug during the war on the top. During this period, he kept talking nonsense and said a lot of things like "My captain Renn has the qualifications of an emperor".
Drake was a little disappointed when he couldn't find out about Ren's whereabouts, but it was also expected.
He joined the Lion Heart Kingdom only half a year ago. Because there was Wen Xi, the leader, occupying the manhole above his head, and as a deputy, he was not qualified to go to the palace to discuss politics, so he had not met the swordsman Renn a few times.
Except for the early morning court at the palace, it is difficult to see the shadow of the king.
The swordsman Ren is a real dragon that never sees its end, just like Shiru of the Rain. People like Barrett and Nana have a hard time telling what he does every day and where he stays.
Moreover, now even if you can go to the palace to discuss politics, you can't see Ren.
He has basically handed over the government affairs to the queen-to-be, Princess Reiju of the Vinsmoke family.
Four days ago, Ren invaded the holy land of Mariejoia. When the news came, the senior officials of the Lionheart Kingdom were also confused, because many people did not know that the king had gone to the Red Earth Continent.
Even General Barrett didn't know about it, and afterwards he complained that his boss didn't take him with him when he went to do trouble...
Encountering such a strange king, x. Drake was also helpless.
He really wasn't lazy. He tried almost every method to get close to Ren and get information about him, but so far he had gained very little.
After all, you can't even see or find anyone, so why are you talking about getting information?
When I asked others, they were confused.
x·Drake took a slight breath to calm down his depressed mood, remembered the order from the Navy Headquarters, and asked instead:
"Brother, do you know why His Majesty Ren attacked Mary Joa?"
"God knows."
Regardless of his image, Wen Xi destroyed the delicacies on the table. His mouth was filled with oil as he ate, and he said vaguely, "Maybe I'm bored."
Drake: "..."
It's okay to be bored.
"Then why did Your Majesty take away Bartholomew Bear?"
"How could I know that?"
"I heard that Xiong might be a revolutionary soldier..."
"Stop! Why do you have so many questions? You're like a curious baby."
Wen Xi glared at his younger brother and said impatiently, "In our Propaganda and Organization Department, we eat and drink every day... Well, just work hard every day. What do you care about these mailings?"
10·Drake: “…”
(▼ plate▼#)
Do you think everyone is you? He eats, drinks, goes whoring, gambles, and waits for death.
"Seeing as you are so curious about these things, how about I transfer you to the intelligence department?" Wen Xi said carelessly.
"real?"
x·Drake pretended to be calm and asked casually, but his eyes shone slightly.
He didn't want to stay in an agency like the Propaganda and Organization Department. Only by breaking into the intelligence department could he, an undercover agent, have a chance to steal confidential information.
Wen Xi burped and said, "Of course it's... fake."
"..."
"Hahahaha... Don't be so exaggerated. Just kidding. Big brother is reluctant to let go of your down-to-earth and capable little brother. I also want to pass on the position of minister to you after my death."
x·Drake: "..."
(╬▔盘▔)
Is there poison?
He really wanted to kill the pig.
With Wen Xi here, he might not be able to get ahead in his life and would be ruthlessly squeezed.
And there is no doubt that the mission assigned to him failed again. He almost didn't ask for any important information.
………
Two o'clock in the afternoon.
Lionheart Palace, the main hall of political affairs.
Reiju wears a crown and sits on the silver throne. She wears an elegant white lace dress, inlaid with a large number of beautiful crystals and pearls. The lace decoration on the skirt is decorated with floral embroidery technology, showing her gorgeousness and elegance.
She also wears a blue diamond necklace around her neck, which is a perfectly divided heart-shaped pendant. Its luster is as bright as the blue sky and the sea. The snow-white dress is paired with those crystal clear jewelry crystals, which makes her fair skin look even more frosty. Sai snow, radiant.
Noble, elegant and peerless, Reiju, who temporarily takes the position of Queen of the Lionheart Kingdom, is more beautiful than ever.
In the splendid hall, there were several rows of ministers standing, and Wen Xi, who had been released from prison, was among them.
Reijiu sat on the throne with a cold expression, like an arrogant and powerful iceberg queen. However, when listening to the reports of everyone below, a hint of helplessness sometimes flashed in her eyes.
She didn't want to be like this, but Ren didn't want to take care of things, so he semi-forced her to supervise the country and listen to the government, and pushed her into the position of queen.
The ministers and even the people did not have much opinion on this.
After all, most people think that she is just a puppet queen, a tool who handles government affairs for the wayward emperor.
A few people complained because her identity was not legitimate.
She did not marry Ren, and the two did not hold a wedding and go through the basic ceremonies and procedures. Although many people called her queen, in fact, the Lionheart Kingdom did not have a legal queen, or even a real harem.
Strictly speaking, there is only Ren in the royal family.
"Queen, lifelong admiral, Lieutenant General Yamato successfully repelled the Big Mom pirates this time and enhanced the military power of our kingdom's navy. He should be rewarded." Foreign Minister Wen Xi said.
Reijiu thought for a moment and said in a cold voice:
"This is what it should be. Lieutenant General Yamato is included in the Kingdom's admiral waiting list, and will be recorded as a second-level meritorious service. An admiral will be eligible to enter Mumingryu Kendokan Kongjing Tea Room once in his lifetime, and will be recorded as a second-level meritorious service... …The remaining officers and soldiers will be rewarded according to their military merit.”
"Thank you Queen!"×2
In the main hall, Uncle Yisheng and Yamato bowed slightly and said loudly, seeming to be in a good mood.
Needless to say, the waiting list for admiral is very precious and requires not only strength but also a lot of merit.
As for entering Mu Mingliu Kendo Hall and Kongjing Tea Room once, it is actually the qualification to consult Ren face to face.
The Sword Master's advice is priceless.
These days, it was finally revealed that Ren defeated most of the elite members of the Beast Pirates on Onigashima with a single blow of his air sword.
In addition, he broke into Mariejoia alone and swept invincible... As a result, many swordsmen from all over the world came to Sword Master Island these days, just to see the sword master's style and seek advice on the peerless swordsmanship.
One of them took out a large sharp knife as a gift, just to ask the sword master once for advice, but he was still rejected.
"Is this reward too high?"
"Judging from the results, we just forced back the Big Mom Pirates, so we don't deserve this kind of reward. However, there are exceptions to everything. This battle lets the world know that the combat effectiveness of our kingdom's navy is not inferior to that of the Navy Headquarters, which is of great significance."
"It's a great victory in the first battle, a good start, I understand."
The ministers whispered for a few words, but no one objected.
The kingdom's naval institution was established not long ago, and it was in urgent need of a victory to inspire people and prove itself. Otherwise, Yamato and his two people would not be able to get such a reward for their achievements.
Foreign Minister Wen Xi added:
"King Elizabello II of the Kingdom of Proteus has arrived with his military advisor Vasco da Gama. He wants to visit the Queen tomorrow. Do you want to receive her?"
"Proteus Kingdom, Elizabello II?" Yamato looked confused and said he had never heard of it.
Mr.3 pushed up his glasses and said: "I know, he is the king who knows the "Fist of the King". It is said that after one hour of charging, he can penetrate the enemy's fortress with one blow. He is even said to be able to kill with one punch. The Four Emperors.”
"Killing the Yonko with one punch? Why don't you brag and write some drafts?" Werewolf Gabra said disdainfully.
None of the kingdom's generals could defeat the Yonko with one blow.
"That's right, it is said that the Kingdom of Prodence is near the Kingdom of Dressrosa. If it is so powerful, wouldn't Tenyasha be scared to the point of pissing himself?"
"Ha ha……"
Everyone laughed dumbly, not believing that the "King's Fist" was that powerful.
Moreover, it takes an hour to charge up the Fist of the King, and the hit rate is unknown, which is too useless.
Wen Xi said that for an hour, he was able to beat Elizabello II to death with his self-created "Top Boxing".
"Okay, be quiet."
Leijiu asked everyone to calm down, looked at Wen Xi, and said: "I will take the time to discuss with Elizabello II, and the organization department will arrange the time."
It doesn't matter how powerful the Fist of the King is, this skill has too many weaknesses.
However, the Kingdom of Prodence is a country after all, and their king and military advisor are visiting together, so they still have to receive them.
Only by establishing diplomatic relations with other countries and having economic and trade exchanges can the influence of the Lionheart Kingdom be radiated outwards.
Then, various major issues were brought up for discussion.
"Queen, there is good news from Sphinx Island. 'Phoenix' Margao, 'Diamond' Jozi and others accepted the dukedom awarded to Edward Newgate by the Kingdom, and the Principality of Sphinx was established... …The principality is under the banner of the United Kingdom of Lionheart, and they will come to see the Queen after a while…”
"Queen, Grand Duke Gaji is preparing to return to the North Sea. The fleet of the Vinsmoke Kingdom is ready to go. He applies for the support and cooperation of the United Kingdom Navy."
"Queen, many countries and forces have submitted marriage requests to the royal family members of the United Kingdom (Ren) and donated many beauties. So far, a total of 1,228 people..."
"Queen, I implore you to marry the Emperor as soon as possible, expand the Emperor's harem, and revitalize the royal family's population."
"Second, the emperor currently has no heirs, the queen's position has not been determined, and the royal family has no legal heir. This is really a taboo."
"I suggest changing the name of the country. The kingdom is no longer suitable. It should be changed to the Lion Heart Empire."
"No, it should be the Lionheart Republic."
…
The situation has been turbulent recently, and the kingdom is developing rapidly, so there are many major things to discuss.
The ministers did not always agree with each other. From time to time, someone would argue with his colleagues and become red-faced and spittle flying.
A world hegemon, a huge empire, involves too many interests and struggles.
Even within the Lionheart Kingdom, there are factions and infighting.
For example, the Waiqin Faction is the Vinsmoke clan headed by Gaji. Their ambition is to entrust the North Sea to the Vinsmoke family after the kingdom replaces the government in the future.
The foreign relatives faction is very strong because the acting queen Reiju is from the Germa Kingdom.
Reiju was the only woman with whom Wren had a physical relationship, not counting Stussy, who never actually crawled into bed with him.
Ever since Ren promoted Reiju to the position of queen, Gaji was so excited that he almost had a stroke. These days, this guy seems to be walking like a stranger.
He himself was equally ambitious, formulating a grand plan to dominate and even occupy the entire North Sea.
However, the march into the North Sea is a big deal, and the kingdom's top officials have not yet decided on it.
Reiju sat on the throne, patiently and cautiously handling every major national event.
If she really couldn't make up her mind, she would tell Ren, or discuss it with some important officials in the study.
The political discussion lasted from two o'clock in the afternoon to six o'clock in the evening. In this way, many things still could not be discussed and settled, and they will continue tomorrow morning.
As the sun set in the west, the sunset glow dyed half of the sky red, and a dark blue night gradually replaced the blue sky. In the cool evening breeze, the ministers left the palace in groups.
"it is finally over."
Reiju stood up from the throne and sighed, with a hint of exhaustion on her beautiful face.
Really, how can you have such a boyfriend? He leaves the important affairs of the country to a woman, but he doesn’t know where he went.
The key is that I don’t want to marry her yet…
Queen Reiju, led by several maids, walked towards her palace through the garden planted with many green plants and flowers.
Just when a group of people walked to the rockery in the garden, a cold and murderous aura suddenly appeared, and several birds on the tree fluttered their wings and flew away in fright!
Bang! !
The cold light burst out, and the rockery instantly broke into several pieces, and the huge rocks roared and hit Reijiu and his party!
At the same time, several strange black shadows jumped out from behind the rockery or grass like lightning, and the bloody evil smell filled their nostrils. The swords in the hands of the assassins danced under the shadow of the moon, and wisps of sword light tore through the night!
The assassination was so sudden that Reiju jumped back, grabbing the two maids and retreating.
But there were two unlucky maids left in the same place. One of them screamed and was beaten to death by stones, while the other was dismembered by the sword energy without even uttering a scream. For a while, the residual limbs flew everywhere, and large areas of bright red blood The beads bloom charmingly under the moonlight!
"You guys leave quickly!"
Reiju became angry, took off the crown on her head, threw it at the assassin at the front, and at the same time told the two panicked maids around her to run away.
She was so powerful that the crown was shot out at high speed like a golden cannonball, the air roaring along the way.
clang!
The assassin swung the dagger sideways in his hand, and a cold light several meters long cut through the void and split the golden crown away, and sparks shot out in an instant!
Afterwards, several pieces of gravel kicked by Reijiu were also chopped into pieces by several other assassins.
The men in black are all sharp with swordsmanship and possess a murderous aura. They are obviously well-trained.
The leading assassin sneered: "At this time, you actually want to let the maid leave first, how benevolent a woman is."
As soon as the words fell, two cold lights suddenly appeared behind them. The two maids who retreated in panic were stagnant in their steps. Blood spurted out from their chests and they were pierced by silver blades!
Plop, plop!
The two corpses fell to the ground, and behind them, two men in black held up blood-stained sharp blades, blocking Reiju's retreat.
There were four people in front and two in the back, forming a double team. The strangest thing was that such a big movement did not alert the patrolling guards.
Seeing that all the maids were killed, Reijiu's eyes were filled with anger and she said coldly:
"Very good, you'd better be lucky that your identity and origins won't be revealed at all, otherwise don't think you're the only one who will be crushed to death!"
These words made the leading assassin tremble slightly, obviously a little afraid.
He himself is an outlaw and has nothing to fear, but...
"Queen of Vase, let's see if you can survive!"
The leading assassin sneered, raised his sword and struck down, and the bright sword light of more than ten feet fell towards Reijiu's head!
Swish! !
At the same time, the other five assassins also launched an attack. Five cold and sharp rays of light penetrated the night. They swung their weapons and stabbed Reijiu's body from various tricky angles. The terrifying murderous intent blocked her movement!
Intelligence showed that as an acting queen, she was unable and inconvenient to bring weapons and combat uniforms when she went to court to discuss politics, so she was doomed.
Blocked by the killing machine and the blade, Reijiu's breath stagnated, but her expression did not change. Her beautiful blue eyes were instantly filled with blood...
