Throne Steps

Chapter 112 Talking Between Two People 2 - Three Plus Signs of Sweetness

Li Chen's way of appearing before was just to gather the "black swans" and wait on Saenz's way to the temple, sticking to the main road but not affecting other people.The momentum is high-profile but the behavior is low-key. At most, they salute together.

It's just that Saenz's black uniform came too "timely", and Li Chen, who felt "embarrassed", couldn't help but polish this appearance as a reward for the new uniform.

So the appearance of "Black Swan" was arrogant and high-profile, and a head—even if it belonged to a villain who was wanted with a lot of money—became a "surprise" for Li Chen to give to his boss when he came back.I don't know exactly how Saenz sees it, but in short, for the passers-by watching, it must have been far more shocking than joyful.

Li Chen responded to Saenz's questioning: "I think 'Black Swan' should be slanted and unruly, this setting is more eye-catching and arrogant than the previous lone wolf. It aspires to you, respects you, but is independent of your control, doing what it thinks it should do."

In the final analysis, giving away the head is the same thing as destroying the former Lone Wolf members in the past.Saenz is the representative of pure white, even if these two things are of great benefit to him, he absolutely cannot order people to do such things.But the black swan goes its own way, stepping on the bottom line and being ruthless.It can offer gifts to Saenz, but it does not need to obey Saenz.If someone projects the brutality of the black swan onto Saenz, on the surface, Saenz can completely remove himself.

It's not what I want, they insist on sending it, what can I do. ——This statement is false to anyone, but the pure white color covers the sky with only one hand, who can, who dares to expose such a ridiculous lie?

Even Fujalal and the twins couldn't easily talk about it.

"Of course, I have also considered another issue." Li Chen smiled, and put his hands behind his back on his sides naturally, "Your style of governing the army in the north and Samuel has been established, and the garrison in the south But still doing military exercises slowly for a small place, and even made a fool of himself..."

Saenz raised his eyes and glanced at him mysteriously: "Absurdly talk about military changes, huh?"

"I'm just joking with you, isn't it a joke to hang on the wall?" Li Chen pressed his right hand on the short stick, and his index finger quietly rubbed the stick, "The riots in the north have been calmed down, and the lone wolf of Samir in the west has been wiped out." Isn't it a joke that a little Soyan doesn't pay attention to the whole Retia and tries to provoke him?

"You dare to criticize, even the follower 'Black Swan' - oh, I don't mean to brag - is merciless to the villains. In the eyes of everyone, the Northland and Suoyang, the Southwest Garrison and Doesn't 'Black Swan' represent the difference between you and Your Highness, my Highness?"

Saenz narrowed his eyes, but he didn't listen to Li Chen's compliment: "You have contacted Hader, have you given him instructions?"

"Don't dare to be good at it." Li Chen knew that his itinerary had already been reported, so he didn't panic when he was exposed at this time, "He is just a soldier, a useless person. But, maybe at some point... who knows? "

"Contact Hader, and set up a line with the chamber of commerce..." Saenz said, "What you are doing at the Southwest Garrison sounds more important than 'finding the dragon', huh?"

"I admit that mobilizing the minds of the chamber of commerce is not a recent matter. But it has to be a coincidence that it has been done in the past few months." Li Chen replied, "All those hanging on the walls are 'releasing' in the city, even if This is a trap, and I can't help but jump into it!"

Regardless of the state of mind of the Southwest Garrison, allowing the survivors of the advance team to move freely in the city without restrictions will undoubtedly open the door for various intelligence teams to investigate.As one of them, Harder will naturally be followed, mainly the Saenz intelligence department and the "black swan" who have received clear instructions.In order to avoid other eyes and ears, Lichen chose the crowded underground arena as a cover, and arranged the first official meeting between the "Black Swan" and "The Beast" very efficiently.

Even if Noah is involved in this line, because he is placed next to Wiggins and other things, Li Chen can't trust him.

This kind of doubt can't be eliminated even if Noah puts the loyalty contract on the "Black Swan" in the future - Li Chen is quite aware of his nature.

However, Saenz noticed a biased question: "Since it was only this time that you really connected with the chamber of commerce, how do you know which branch the underground arena in that city belongs to?"

"This is the vision of the eldest son." Li Chen looked down at the white magic crystal on the top of the short staff, "Always release 'goodwill' when doing business..."

"Black Swan" actually has several business lines, and they have to deal with chambers of commerce.As for why Amoya has sprung up suddenly, it can only be said that this is also an omnipotent character.

Saenz narrowed his eyes: "...the 'battle' for the chamber of commerce has already begun?"

Although this is a question, Saenz will never make a mistake in this kind of information.Li Chen followed suit and replied, "Yes, the youngest qualified heir of his family was 20 years old last year."

Saenz meant something: "At this time, getting involved in other vortexes...do you think it's wise?"

"At least he doesn't have a chance of winning, does he?" Not only does he have no chance of winning, in Li Chen's eyes he is the one with the greatest chance of winning, "Watering in the rainy season and dew in the dry season, 'icing on the cake' and 'sending charcoal in the snow'."

Saenz said, "You need him for something."

In Saenz's perception, Li Chen is by no means an aimless person.The patriarchal heir of the president's family of the chamber of commerce is almost equivalent to the next president of the chamber of commerce.If Li Chen intervenes when the competition is in full swing, it must be the help of the chamber of commerce.

Li Chen does not deny this: "'Black Swan' should not focus on business, I am going to 'outsource' part of the asset operation."

Saenz paused, and then mocked: "It doesn't matter, just return it to me."

"On the bright side, we have to take it off, Your Highness, I just said it." Li Chen pretended to be shy and disgusted his leader, "Besides, I have to save some private money to surprise you at any time, right?"

As soon as he finished speaking, there was a light knocking sound outside the door, and then the butler's voice sounded.

"Afternoon tea, Your Highness."

Li Chen looked at Saenz, but it seemed that the other party neither objected nor responded.He gestured again, but Saenz still didn't say anything.Li Chen thought for a while, turned away from behind the desk, and walked slowly towards the door.

Saenz really didn't seem to care about the arrival of the afternoon tea. Li Chen had already turned his back on him, but he turned the topic back to the previous direction: "Although Suoyang is small, it created a tug of war in the royal court. The longer the time, The more involved. Rather than saying that Suoyang attracts attention, it is better to say that the outcome of the tug-of-war in the royal court is the focus of attention."

Li Chen stopped at the door: "So, you mean that the actions of the Southwest Garrison are actually not that important?"

"I mean, it doesn't matter if it's a trap or not."

Li Chen smiled and didn't answer, twisted the door and pulled it open: "Good afternoon, butler."

"Good afternoon." The butler responded with a smile, then turned slightly sideways.Next to it was a dining car, with delicately patterned trays and tea sets on the silver dining car, behind the dining car stood Saenz's usual chestnut-haired, oval-faced female officer.

Li Chen glanced at the dining car, then turned his face to the direction of Saenz, and then turned around: "Leave it to me."

The female officer sent the dining car to Li Chen: "Please. Your Highness is used to not adding sugar."

"Excuse me, I remember." Li Chen picked up the tray steadily, and the load included a full teapot with a miniature tea stove, two identical teacups on the left and right, and a small spoon with a sugar cube. dish.When he turned around and walked back with his things, Saenz had already stood up and turned to the bookshelf behind the chair, holding the briefing he was reading earlier and putting it up, while the housekeeper consciously closed the room door behind Li Chen.

Click!

Li Chen's movements were cautious, and his steps back were much slower than when he went, but his thinking was not slow at all: "It's a good thing that it's not important. I don't want to be noticed when I make small movements. I'm really going to have a headache."

"What kind of tricks are you playing again?" Saenz didn't look back at him, "Suoyang is not a lone wolf, the current Suoyang cannot be pried away by some cleverness."

"Being friends with Hader doesn't necessarily mean you have to test it right away, and being clever isn't necessarily a bad thing."

"Is the winter military exercise a test? Is it smart for the advance troops to sneak in? Is it a bad thing to hang on the wall?"

None of the three rhetorical questions is true.Li Chen raised his eyebrows slightly, walked to the table and put down the tray, the ears of the teacup were facing the two people on both sides of the table.While reaching out to pick up the teapot, he asked his leader, "Is it okay?"

Saenz looked back at Li Chen's actions and nodded slightly.

So Li Chen picked up the teapot and poured tea, first from the leader's side, then from his own side, and then put the teapot back to its original position, with the spout facing left and rearward.Teaspoon three sugar cubes and stir to melt into your own teacup.

Saenz watched his movements: "Are you eating sweets?"

"...Occasionally." Because he was the only one who wanted to add sugar, Li Chen put the teaspoon back to the side of the plate, and took the whole plate out of the tray and put it at hand.

"A child's taste." Saenz sneered, then turned back and continued to look for other books from the bookshelf.

"Ah." Li Chen sat down opposite the desk, propped his chin in one hand, stared at Saenz's back, and pushed the tea stove with the other index finger, "A child's sense of taste, a child's tricks. But, just As I said earlier, maybe it will be useful?"

The tea stove rubbed against the tray, making an extremely small sound, and turned the teapot 180 degrees.

There was no hesitation in the movement of Saenz's hand. He selected another reading material and turned around: "I hope you didn't speak wild words because of the delay in the news."

The pure white gaze naturally lifted up from the hand until it met Li Chen's gaze.

Li Chen still rested his chin on his right hand, put his left hand on the joint of his right arm, and smiled at Saenz: "It seems that something happened that made me misjudge?"

What Saenz took down was a map, unfolded to a width of nearly one meter, with marks of various colors and shapes scattered around.He handed it to Li Chen, and slowly slid his finger down from the top of the map: "This is where Fujalal is now."

The map is really big, and it will definitely hit the tea set if it is spread out. Li Chen had no choice but to hold the paper halfway on both sides, looking at it: "In the territory of the color of roses? Is the intention too obvious..."

Anyone with a long brain can think that Fujalal's participation in the care of Grace is fake, but the discussion about Suoyang is the real thing.His intention to win Suoyang's achievements is obvious, and it is not surprising to find another reason to formally send troops to Suoyang, but the aftertaste hanging on the wall has not disappeared.He ran to the color of rose with such a big fanfare, wouldn't it be a waste of the opportunity to show a positive image, just to be a laughing stock?

Li Chen didn't think that Fujlar would have such an idiot's way of thinking, so he looked at Saenz with the eyes of seeking knowledge.

Saenz leaned over, the arm behind the map seemed to be propped on the table, and the other hand was still sliding on the map: "Lariel is here."

Li Chen was a little surprised this time.It was a land of navy blue. It was very imaginable for a noble girl who had not left the court to run to someone else's territory, but there were still too many possibilities.Li Chen's opening was a dark guess: "Could it be a 'hostage' when the Highness went to Rose Color?"

Saenz retracted his hand with lowered eyes: "There is one more thing that will definitely blow up the day after tomorrow——"

Li Chen seemed to hear the rubbing sound of some kind of porcelain, and stared at the map with meaningful eyes for a moment, but asked along the way: "What?"

Saenz said: "Faujalal will bring his fiancée along for the 'Grace of Sunshine' this time."

"Huh!" Li Chen was surprised, "Could it be that the wedding time will be announced!"

"I don't know yet." Saenz took away the map that Li Chen was holding, "But he brought people out in a high-profile way during the New Year, and now he has brought it to the site of Rose Color, so it's not hard to guess what he's thinking."

Li Chen let go of his hand cooperatively: "The color of navy blue is going to back down in the tug-of-war of the royal court, and Fujalal decided to use war to force the military order."

Even if Saenz thinks he understands Li Chen, he still thinks highly of Li Chen's quick thinking: "...Yes."

As early as when Li Chen heard about Fugeral's social performance in the New Year, he had considered his true intention of doing so.What is said now is just the most likely trend, so Li Chen has no intention of claiming credit.He casually placed his eyes on the tea set that was exposed again, and joked: "However, it is really an idea to use this kind of lace news to cover up the elegance of your first temple..."

The spout is still facing right forward.Li Chen couldn't be sure whether Saenz turned the whole tray and then turned the kettle back, or just used the sound of rubbing to get lost; but he still reached out his hand naturally, and picked up the ear of the cup to face his own teacup.

Saenz folded the map and put it aside, and picked up the teacup that was close to him: "I tell you this, you should also know how to judge the situation. If you stretch out your hands and feet rashly, don't be clever and shake the wrong place, and you will be in the wrong place because of a small mistake. big……"

"You're smart and you don't need money." Li Chen smiled and took a sip of tea, pointing out, "Why are you afraid of taking risks?"

Saenz sneered back, took a sip, and then frowned indiscernibly.

...so sweet.
