Limited time sale 2015 sun protection clothes women's long sleeves three-quarter short sleeves Limited time sale, toe transparent ultra-thin invisible transparent pantyhose Support the development of the website, go here to buy things on Taobao, go Early in the morning, when Zheng Shuanglong walked out of his room refreshed and moved, Sharon brought him a piece of news that made him very dissatisfied: "Master, Iron-Blooded Prime Minister Osborne.
See you soon."
Zheng Shuanglong snorted coldly: "Are you coming to visit me now?
Do you think I'm not that threatening anymore, or do you think that with Claire's relationship, you think I won't take action against him?
Trouble, it seems that I have left with the noble faction."
It's really troublesome to be too close and touch his sensitive nerves.
Well, Sharon, go call Haguro and wake her up.
You always need a female companion to receive such a big shot. ” Sharon was stunned for a moment, then stood there with a gentle smile on her face.
Zheng Shuanglong rolled his eyes: "I worked too hard last night.
I want to take a rest.
You go and wake up Haguro."
Sharon shook her head firmly and said, "No."
If there were other things, Sharon would not refuse at all.
Even if it was some pornographic matters, considering Zheng Shuanglong's extraordinary temperament, Sharon would be willing to refuse.
She was willing to accept it, but Sharon was not stupid enough to participate in a dispute between several possible hostesses.
Here we just witnessed the master taking down Akagi, and over there she asked Haguro to get up and greet the guests as the hostess.
This kind of thing is very likely to trigger a war, but Sharon, who is well versed in survival methods, will not do it. .
This is especially true when all the girls are resting in Haguro's room because of yesterday's night talk.
"Then, you can go and wake up Shino."
Zheng Shuanglong, who was a bit confused, said again.
Sharon continued to shake her head firmly and said, "No."
Asada Shino was in Haguro's room.
What was the difference between asking her to get up and asking Haguro to get up?
Looking at Sharon, who was extremely determined, Zheng Shuanglong, who was a little weak, flicked his fingers.
Helplessly shrugging his shoulders, he walked to the room next to his bedroom on the third floor of the hotel, knocked on the door lightly, and then said quickly: "Haguro, it's me.
Are you up?"
"Commander-san, um, wait a moment, I'll be right away."
After a somewhat chaotic sound, Haguro's door opened, revealing a neatly dressed and beautiful Haguro.
A peaceful smile appeared in Zheng Shuanglong's eyes.
Gently reaching out and touching Yu Hei's moist hair, Zheng Shuanglong said with a smile: "A guest who is having a headache has arrived.
Come with me to greet him."
"Well, I understand, Mr.
Commander."
I heard Zheng Shuanglong's words.
Haguro nodded gently and smiled happily happily.
"Well, Mr.
Commander, do I need to change my clothes?"
Haguro, who was about to follow Zheng Shuanglong out, stopped and looked down at his purple-based clothes that looked like college uniforms.
No. asked with certainty.
Although this outfit can be considered formal attire, but...
Wouldn't such clothing look a bit weird here?
Should I change into a dress that is more in line with the trend here?
Haguro was a little worried that his attire would make Zheng Shuanglong lose face in front of guests.
I thought worriedly.
"It doesn't matter, Haguro is very cute like this.
Free novels bring you joy and joy ---> storyskyline.net
In fact, Haguro is cute no matter what he wears.
Of course, he is cutest when he is not wearing anything."
She shrugged.
Zheng Shuanglong teased.
"Mr.
Commander," Haguro said softly with a blushing face.
"Well.
I'm just kidding, but you can wear it like this.
It's very cute.
I like it very much."
Zheng Shuanglong patted Yu Hei's face and coaxed her.
"Thank you very much."
Haguro, who received Zheng Shuanglong's praise, bowed slightly and thanked him.
Wearing a straight suit with an imperial style and carefully tidying up his appearance, Iron Prime Minister Osborne was waiting in the reception hall on the first floor.
Sharon and Mamiya were entertaining several guests brought by Iron Prime Minister Osborne.
Individually, the amber-like wine gurgled into their glasses, and then was sent into their stomachs.
Wine is good wine, but mere wine cannot make them feel happy.
Their leader is the Iron-blooded Prime Minister Osborne, one of the most powerful people in the Erebonia Empire.
Even if he is visiting the emperor Your Majesty does not need to make a special appointment, but now you ask Mr.
Osborne to wait here.
What a disrespectful behavior.
Who does this guy think he is?
If I hadn't seen that there was no impatient expression on Mr.
Osborne's face, if I hadn't received the signal from the ice girl Claire, if I hadn't received the signal from the blood-water sacrificial forest standing in and out of the shadows, With their chilling aura, these guys are really going to make a fuss.
Just when Osborne's capable subordinates were getting a little angry and wanted to kill someone, Zheng Shuanglong finally came out with Yu Hei.
The two parties were seated separately.
Haguro originally wanted to sit next to Zheng Shuanglong, but when Zheng Shuanglong reached out and pulled him, he sat directly on Zheng Shuanglong's lap.
He was so shy that he seemed to have no bones.
Generally tired of being in his arms.
After watching Sharon mix a glass of wine for Osborne and give it to him, Zheng Shuanglong waved his hand gently and said: "Excuse me, the great and busy Lord Osborne, what are you doing so early in the morning?
" Zheng Shuanglong's eyes narrowed slightly, and his piercing eyes stared at Osborne.
If he really came because he was too close to the noble faction, then this iron-blooded prime minister would not be important.
Faced with Zheng Shuanglong's unceremonious questioning, Osborne, with a confident and majestic smile on his face, looked around and said: "Dear Mr.
Zheng, how many subordinates do you have?
Yakumo Mirror, Ling Ling , Crow 9, Akagi, Asada Shino and a few others.
Why don’t you see them?”
Listening to Osborne's words that seemed to understand everything, and looking at Osborne's lofty eyes, Zheng Shuanglong shrugged, and gently blew a breath on the shy Yu Hei's cute little red ears, no.
He said with concern: "Mr.
Osborne, may I ask, why did you team up with my subordinates to investigate so clearly?
Haha, you ran here early in the morning just to tell me that you know me very well.
This is not a very good idea."
Things.
Are you provoking?"
Undeterred by Zheng Shuanglong's threat, Osborne said seriously: "Oh, no.
No, no, how could I carry out such a boring provocation?
Free novels bring you joy and joy ---> storyskyline.net
Only people who have nothing to do can do that kind of thing.
Do it.
Mr.
Zheng Shuanglong.
I am here to discuss something with you alone.
Of course, it is understandable that I will put more effort into my future partners."
Zheng Shuanglong smiled calmly and said lightly.
Osborne said calmly: "Mr.
Zheng.
First of all, welcome to the beautiful and great Erebonian Empire.
We also welcome the series of cooperation agreements you have reached with the empire, although most of them fall to the nobles."
However, this also greatly contributed to the development of the Erebonia Empire."
Reach out gently.
Zheng Shuanglong, who interrupted the words of Iron-Blooded Prime Minister Osborne, said boringly: "If what you want to say, Mr.
Osborne, is just these official words and clichés without any actual content, then this meeting will That's it.
Of course, for Claire's sake, I have no intention of driving you away.
You can sit here until you want to leave, and you can sit here until your purpose is achieved.
In an hour, or even half an hour.
Or in less time, those nobles will be worried about whether I have reached an agreement with you, and then the seeds of doubt will be heavy.
Well, that's it.
Presumably.
You came with a lot of fanfare and no cover at all.
It is estimated that at least a hundred informants saw it when you entered here. " "No, no.
No, I don't deny that this is one of my purposes, but it is not all of it.
I am really here to reach some agreements with you, some agreements that will help the reformists.
Even, It's okay to just gain your friendship.
After all, a forbidden curse mage, a most advanced alchemist, a powerful one who can open the door to another world. , it is a resource in itself.
A very influential resource."
Shaking his head slightly, Obanshan said seriously: "I know you are relatively close to the aristocracy, but those fools are destined to be eliminated.
I won’t be taken seriously by you, you are just using them, in this case, why can’t I try to win your friendship.”
"It's interesting.
It's really interesting.
My friendship."
Zheng Shuanglong touched Yu Hei's head and said easily: "Didn't you realize that I have been targeting the Erebonian Empire?
This kind of my friendship, Do you dare to ask for it?”
"Why don't you dare to ask for it?
You are only targeting the empire because of a little friendship from that Corinthian from the King's College of Janes in Liber Kingdom.
From your own interests, there is not much difference between you and the empire.
There are no conflicts or irreconcilable disputes of interest.
In fact, the Empire's friendship can bring you enough benefits.
For the heart-warming benefits, I think Your Excellency Zheng Shuanglong will not refuse the hand of friendship extended by the Empire.
"Osborne said loudly using highly contagious words.
"Even if I once wiped out the entire 18th Mecha Division of the Empire, would this still be the case?"
Zheng Shuanglong said with a half-smile.
"Of course, as long as you are willing to accept this friendship, none of this is a problem."

Osborne nodded affirmatively.
"It seems that life is not easy for the empire.
Outside, the Republic of Alvard and the Codex Country are eyeing them.
Inside, there are noble factions and those who have lost their vested interests.
In addition, the body-eating snake is stirring up trouble, and the reform Conflicts of interest within the faction, in order to As for forcing you, the leader, to make such a compromise, to wipe out the hatred of a division like this, the soldiers who follow you are really pitiful."
Zheng gently shook the wine glass in his hand.
Shuanglong said mockingly.
Osborne fell silent, gently twirling the wine glass in his hand, and looked at Zheng Shuanglong seriously.
Zheng Shuanglong looked at him, then at his nervous assistants next to him, and suddenly laughed: "Mr.
Osborne, in this imperial capital where the reformists have the strongest power in the empire, you just brought a few people here.
Could it be that you Are there only a few trustworthy people around you?"
Osborne took a sip of wine and sighed: "Let me tell you the truth, the form of the empire is very complicated, not to mention the conflicts between the aristocrats and the reformists, not to mention the various disputes caused by the laying of the railway. , regardless of the battle between emerging forces and some old forces, regardless of the war between various religions and the Qiyao Church, the resistance forces in the various autonomous prefectures I annexed are a big trouble, plus The conflicts between the Republic of Alvard and other countries and the empire, as well as the interests and needs of various representatives of the reformists, have turned the empire into a powder keg that can be detonated at any time.
And your existence is the spark that ignites the powder keg. .
I must stabilize you and prevent you from causing any major incidents in the empire.
Of course, it would be best if I could send you out of the country as a gift."
Zheng Shuanglong said a little strangely: "So sincere.
It makes me a little embarrassed to play tricks with you.
So, tell me, what will you use to impress me and let me leave this empire happily.
Give it to me A reason."
Osborne took a deep breath and said in a calm tone: "No, except for that friendship.
I am not prepared to give anything else.
You were going to leave the empire.
I just asked It’s just a small request for you to leave the empire as soon as possible and my friendship is enough.”
Zheng Shuanglong looked at the once mighty Osborne with some pity.
It seems like what I did during this time.
It has already started to take effect.
The bloody battles between the Zhuraishi Kingdoms and their unyielding spirit of resistance caused unrest in the autonomous prefecture that was recently annexed by the Erebonian Empire.
The obliteration of the 18th Mecha Division shook Osborne's most important foundation, and his prestige in the army was hit.
Several transactions with the aristocratic faction not only enhanced the potential strength of the aristocratic faction, but also caused instability within the reformist faction led by Osborne.
The magic circle that blocked the imperial capital for three days and three nights allowed Osborne to reveal the limits of his abilities in front of the emperor.
It shows that he is a human being, not a god, and there are things he cannot do.
The failure to maintain the influence of omnipotence and all-out planning made Osborne lose a lot of points in front of the emperor.
Let the emperor's trust in him no longer be unconditional.
After all, a prime minister who forced the emperor out of the imperial capital, or even caused the imperial capital to lose contact for three days, would still disappoint the emperor no matter how capable he was in the past.
This is a difficult situation.
Osborne's life has been difficult recently.
Of course, with Osborne's ability.
As long as Zheng Shuanglong's gift is sent out of the country, it will be combined vertically and horizontally.
It is still easy to suppress the disputes within the reformist faction, suppress the arrogance of the aristocratic faction, revive the prestige in the army, and regain the trust of His Majesty the Emperor.
The key point of everything is the Zheng Shuanglong in front of him who has made him disgraced recently.
It was Zheng Shuanglong who looked at him with pity.
When did he need sympathy and mercy from others, especially when this look was from his enemy, this made Osborne even more uncomfortable.
Osborne seemed to have found a place to vent his anger.
He held the wine glass made of natural crystal tightly with both hands, and the wine glass made a loud creaking sound.
"Your Excellency Zheng Shuanglong, don't you think it's rude to look at me like this?"
Free novels bring you joy and joy ---> storyskyline.net
"It is indeed very rude, but if you want me not to look at you with such rude eyes, at least you have to do something that impresses me.
Face is given by others, but you earn it by yourself.
You need face.
If you want to be naughty, you have to do something worthy of praise.
I forced you like you In this situation, there is really nothing to say."
Zheng Shuanglong patted Haguro lightly, motioned her to sit on the armrest of the sofa next to him, and said seriously: "Besides, politicians are not all shameless.
Does skin exist?
As the most outstanding politician in the Erebonia Empire, do you still have such a thing as skin?"
Osborne looked at Zheng Shuanglong and said seriously: "I am a politician with firm beliefs, lofty ambitions, political foresight and political talent.
I hold the power of the country and have a major influence on the development of social history.
Please do not use political activities as a career, engage in political speculation, play political tricks for the sake of certain political needs of your class, group or individual, pursue power all your life, use any means to achieve your goals, and do not hesitate to sacrifice your personal interests. , family members, political groups and even all the guys, on a par with each other."
Zheng Shuanglong tapped the table gently and said with a smile: "People who are engaged in or actively involved in politics have ideals and can think about the country and the people.
Their motivations focus on the well-being of the people and the peace and development of the world.
They Usually very skilled in government management, or have great influence in promoting the welfare of the people and the interests of the whole.
This is a politician."
"In a certain sense, you are indeed a politician, but ask yourself, do you think you are really a politician?
Osborne, the iron-blooded prime minister of the Erebonia Empire."
Osborne licked his lips and said with a low smile: "Haha, why not?
I have done many, many things for the prosperity of this empire.
Under my leadership, the empire's economy has prospered and the people's living standards have been significantly improved.
Of course, improvement involves sacrificing the interests of a considerable minority of people, but their sacrifices have resulted in the prosperity of the empire.
Isn’t this very worthwhile?”
Zheng Shuanglong nodded and said: "Yes, you have made the empire develop significantly, but are those sacrificed voluntarily?
They are all represented, right?
The opinions of the minority are swayed by the wishes of the majority. , using the name of the general trend to ignore those The wishes of poor people have been represented and sacrificed.
You who dare to call yourself a politician are really shameless.
Do you dare to say this to the undead in Hamel?
You were created with the blood of the people.
The opportunity for the rise of the iron-blooded prime minister, His Excellency Osborne" Tragedy of Hamel.
At that time, the leading conspirators of the imperial war faction lost power in the political struggle and were already in a state of despair with no one responding.
However, the appearance of Professor Wiseman changed everything.
Wiseman himself, as the number one supporter of the war faction at the time, presented the empire's iron prime minister Gillias Osborne with a plan to use the Chasseur Regiment to organize an attack on Hamel, a village located at the border between the empire and the Kingdom of Liber, and He used this as an excuse to shift the responsibility to Liber and invade the Kingdom of Liber.
Wiseman's real purpose is to lay out the gospel plan, and the Chasseurs are also members of the association.
The prime minister understands that the "Body-Eating Snake" is using him, but he is also willing to use it to achieve his ambitions.
The trend of the battle was beyond the prime minister's expectation.
The aggressive invading army was defeated by the powerful air force.
The brutal Hundred Days Battle also ended with the emperor's defeat.
However, the empire's main battle force rose rapidly after the war.
The Iron-blooded Prime Minister became the central figure in imperial politics, began to vigorously promote reform policies, and further implemented his territorial expansionist ambitions.
Emperor Jukent also trusted him quite a bit.
Now the prime minister held 70% of the empire's military power.
The strong imperial iron horse peered at the surrounding countries, and war broke out wherever the iron hooves touched.
Osborne looked at Zheng Shuanglong, his lips moved a few times, and his eyes expressed a kind of sincere frankness before continuing: "Yes, I was favored by His Majesty the Emperor with the help of the Hundred Days War triggered by the Hamel tragedy.
Trust, rising rapidly.
But what's the matter?
Free novels bring you joy and joy ---> storyskyline.net
Compared with the countless citizens of the empire, the lives of less than a thousand people in Hamel's small village are nothing.
Moreover, the person who attacked Hamel is not My people, at most I only know and take advantage of this general trend.”
Zheng Shuanglong said nothing and looked at him coldly.
Osborne continued: "I have a little bit of responsibility for the Hamel tragedy, and only a little bit of responsibility for poor protection, and that's it.
What do you think?"
Zheng Shuanglong didn't say any idle words and went straight to the point: "Okay, let's let go of these things.
Whether you are a politician or not, I don't care.
I am not from the Empire.
The tragedy of Hamel is more important."
I don’t have much to do with it.
The world is very big and chaotic.
The number of people who died in Zhuraishi Kingdom alone is dozens of times that of Hamel.
Let’s get straight to the point.
If I prepare to leave the Erebonian Empire now , what benefits can I get?”
"Oh, come on, come on, don't use unreliable things like the friendship of the empire to deal with me.
If that's the case, I think I should go to the lakeside town of Regram for a few months of vacation. .
After all, His Excellency Victor S.
Alside sincerely invited me to be his guest.”
Osborne said simply: "You leave the empire and do not step into the empire's territory within three years.
I will not stop various businesses in the empire, and I can even open a green channel for you."
"It's not enough.
If that's all, we don't need to talk anymore."
Shaking his head gently, Zheng Shuanglong turned to Sharon and Mamiya who were standing beside him and said, "Xuelun, Mamiya, please."
Let’s prepare a sumptuous meal.
We need to entertain them well.
After all, we can’t let others say that we don’t know how to behave.”
