Carlos led the way, and several people followed a path beside a stream and came to another wooden house.

"We're here, sir, isn't it good?" Carlos turned around and said, "This used to be a summer manor for nobles. Although it's not very luxurious, I thought you would like the environment here."

The gurgling stream flows into the small lake in front of the wooden house. The sparkling water of the small lake is surrounded by the surrounding green shade, and the environment is unusually quiet. But the most pleasing thing is the one that extends from the side of the wooden house directly into the lake.

The platform is surrounded by green trees and clear water, and a group of colorful ornamental fish are swimming slowly around the platform in the water.

"It's not bad." Cohen walked up to the platform and exclaimed: "This environment makes people feel relaxed. Anyway, I have to stay in this training ground for some time, so I will live here."

"As long as it makes you relax." Martin next to Cohen smiled lightly: "His Majesty's life was really stressful some time ago. Let's build up our strength here before the war!"

"You know those things too! I feel sorry for making you worry." Cohen smiled sheepishly: "You two, please take a seat!"

The three people sat down at the table in the platform. Two personal guards came over to place the water and wine. Bai Ying stood aside quietly. In front of the wooden house, the loud-sounding rock was arranging the guard positions of the various guards.

"You two worked really hard while I was away." Cohen took the wine bottle and poured red wine for the two people who were technically his subordinates: "If nothing else, just control those troublemakers.

Is it going to be a headache for you?"

"That's nothing, it's a matter of duty." Martin took the wine glass with both hands: "Your Majesty, who do you want me to meet?"

"That's right." Cohen picked up the wine glass casually: "Grandpa Martin, do you think we are lacking a certain type of people among our current officials?"

"There is a type of person missing?" Martin couldn't think of a type of person missing at the moment: "I can't tell you at the moment."

"What about you?" Cohen chuckled and asked Carlos: "My staff officer, do you know?"

Carlos took a sip of red wine and shook his head: "I am a staff officer. At this stage, my poor wisdom can only be used to focus on the war."

"Oh, this is related to the war!" Cohen nodded and slowly explained to the two of them: "That's right, I think most of the rebel troops are morally confused now, especially those in the outer defense circle. Do they have to

With the strong logistical support of the rebels, after the war begins, there seems to be no other outcome for them except death. If there are appropriate people to communicate with them at this time, if they can be made to surrender, our own casualties will also be reduced."

"To ask them to surrender, you mean there is a lack of people to persuade them to surrender!" Martin thought for a while: "Just send a few people who can speak well. There are many such people in the army."

"Of course this is possible, but we have to pay attention to one thing." Cohen said softly: "In the days to come, we have to manage an empire, which is no longer as big as one or two provinces. We need to deal with many things related to other things.

When dealing with the empire, it is best to have dedicated people to complete the matter. In this war, the enemy troops were scattered in various cities, and the rebel generals had their own plans in mind, just like independent forces that separated themselves from the local area.

Likewise, this can be an opportunity for them to exercise.”

"What your Majesty means is that you want to set up a special agency to complete this task?" Martin thought about it for a long time before asking in a low voice: "With your arrangement like this, after regaining the empire... Your Majesty, do you have any other arrangements?"

Intend?"

"My final goal..." Cohen looked back with a smile, nodded slightly and said, "Actually, it's not just the demonic or divine empire!"

Martin immediately took a breath, while Carlos on the other side dropped the wine glass in his hand to the ground.

"When Feilin heard about it, she was just a little surprised. You won't lose to her, right?" Cohen smiled and refilled Carlos's drink: "The reason why I came out to kill this emperor is because of what happened later.

Attracting me, I am not interested in the emperor himself. It can be said that I hate being in this position."

"Your Majesty said this, we will be heartbroken. The position of emperor is paved with the blood of countless people..." Martin watched Cohen grow up and could use the tone of an elder to persuade him. If it were Carlos, he would not be beaten to death.

Dare you say that.

"It is precisely because it is paved with the blood of countless people that I have resistance in my heart. I have thought a lot in the past few days. I want to be the emperor! I will continue to step on the bones of countless people and step onto the throne; I don't want to be the emperor! Then!

The people who sacrificed before seem to have no meaning at all..." Cohen stood up, turned around and looked at the woods by the lake: "This is a dilemma. No matter which one I choose, I will be so helpless and regretful."

"But your Majesty still chose the former, which is a good thing for us." Martin encouraged Cohen: "Your Majesty, the soldiers and the people all support you. Under your leadership, they will sacrifice for you, and they will feel happy.

and satisfaction…”

"But I'm not satisfied!" Cohen turned around, feeling a little excited: "Grandpa Martin, I don't want to make this choice. I don't want the citizens of the Sbia Empire to die like this... Of course I know that the war to quell the rebellion will definitely end."

Dead man, I also know that after I regain the empire, as long as I, Cohen Keda, keep my peace, there should be no problem with Sbia's stability for decades. But what about a few decades from now? As long as someone in the temple makes a look

, this kind of rebellion can still be staged at any time! By then, even if a second Cohen comes out to clean up the mess, countless people will still have to die. Can it be said that the Sibia Empire will always have this fate? "

"Not just Sibia, which empire on the mainland can last for five hundred years?" Martin sighed: "In fact, the rule of the Shamei Dynasty has been considered very long."

"So I don't want to just stand still. Since some people have forced me into this position, they have to pay the price." Cohen replied calmly: "If he gives me one, I will give him ten."

The two people sitting seemed to understand a little bit, and Martin asked softly: "What does your Majesty mean?"

"Since so many people have been sacrificed and continue to be sacrificed, as an emperor, I have the obligation to make their sacrifices more meaningful..." An expression that had never appeared on Cohen before was now on his face.

Spreading: "I am an emperor, I have to see further than others, and I want to avoid such a tragedy from happening again... The war between gods and demons, fuck, I want to see what they are going to do with it.

beat!"

"Sir." Carlos, who had been silent, solemnly interjected: "Actually, you don't need to take into account my feelings. I treated myself as dead during the Battle of Tucheng."

"Carlos is right, we are just soldiers, and I can't see as far as the emperor." Martin smiled bitterly and shook his head: "Anyway, with this broken body left, it is my duty to work hard for my children and grandchildren. But

Where are your troops? Where are your people? Can they understand your thoughts?"

Cohen talked and laughed and sat down next to Martin.

"The people's burden is already very heavy. We don't need to put more pressure on them. It's good that you two are aware of these things. I will also consider it carefully and do it step by step." Cohen raised the wine glass in his hand: "You two

One is the leader of the veteran faction in the army, and the other is the leader of the young faction in the army. After understanding my intentions, they will naturally consider more when handling things."

Martin took a sip of wine and asked the most important question: "Who else knows about His Majesty's intentions?"

"Father, Felin, and you two." Cohen looked at Bai Ying again: "And this shadow of mine."

Facing the puzzled looks of Martin and Carlos, Bai Ying nodded slightly to them. The phantom of a white dragon immediately appeared in their minds. They suddenly realized, and after thinking about it for a while, they got this powerful power for themselves.

Helpful and gratifying.

"So, that's it for now." Cohen sat up straight with a smile on his face: "As for the person today, he has a rather different personality, but he is indeed a good candidate to be a diplomat. Please invite two more

Give him more criticism and encouragement in the future, your attitude will be directly related to his future development."

"Okay." The two nodded in agreement.

"Rock." Cohen turned his head and told Rock standing outside the platform: "Bring Lip here."

"Yes, sir!" Shi Yan walked aside and ordered his men to take the people there.

After a while, the well-dressed Lip trotted onto the platform, saluted Cohen and then stood aside with his hands lowered, very well-behaved.

"I have met these two adults." Cohen introduced to Lip: "One is Lieutenant General Martin, the first general of the Empire, and the other is Brigadier General Carlos, the Chief of Staff of the Empire."

"Yes, young master." Lip immediately turned around and saluted the two of them: "Li Pu has met the two adults. Good day to the two adults."

The expression on Cohen's face did not change, and he said calmly: "Lieutenant General Martin is the grandfather of my two ladies, and I usually call him that."

"General Martin, please forgive Lip for his impoliteness." Lip bent his knees and knelt down to Martin. He solemnly saluted again and said, "Li Pu was rude."

"During the war, you don't need to be polite." Martin raised his hand to let Lip stand up, then turned to look at Cohen: "The reaction is okay, and the dress is decent. What about your eloquence?"

"I have already curbed the frivolous and impetuous part of him, and my father also met with him once, and he has been tutoring him on various etiquette and customs in the past two days." Cohen looked at Lip: "As for the rest, the two of you can give me some advice.

"

"What else can we teach the people who have been taught by the Prime Minister?" Martin smiled faintly: "Li Pu, what did the Prime Minister teach you?"

"Yes, going back to General Martin, the Prime Minister taught that even if Lip is thinking about the most evil things, the expression on his face must be extremely holy. The Prime Minister also taught that if you want to threaten others, you must

You have to use tactful and gentle language to hint. The Prime Minister also said that you should ignore other people’s accusations at all. Even if the evidence is in front of you, you must defend yourself to the end..."

"The Prime Minister has taught you so much, so I don't have anything more to teach you." After hearing Lip's words, Martin smiled heartily: "But since it is His Majesty's request, I will remind you."

"Yes, please give me some advice, General," Lip replied respectfully.

"I am a soldier and only know how to fight, but I also know that officialdom is a battlefield. So no matter what position you hold, you are actually fighting a war. Even in daily life, you must not relax at all." Martin said seriously: "

Your Majesty supports you, and of course we will help you. We will not care about your past, but you must remember who you are loyal to."

"Yes, Lip will keep it in mind. Thank you General for your teaching."

Cohen looked at Carlos and raised his eyes. Carlos could only say a few words: "Lipp, your specialty determines your position. You may be rich in jewels and riches in the future, but these are means, not yours."

Purpose, if you lose yourself in this, your road will come to an end."

"Yes, Sir Staff Officer, Lip will never forget his identity and master."

Cohen smiled at the two of them: "How's it going? Can you answer the question fluently?"

"Fortunately, this look is not too slick." Martin nodded: "If we meet for the first time, my appearance will not be annoying."

Cohen turned to look at Lip: "Do you know the current situation?"

"I know, Master." Lip immediately replied: "Master's army is ready to quell the rebellion in one fell swoop."

"Do you understand why I took you with me all the way?"

"I understand. The young master showed me the strength of the army. Lip is full of confidence in the mission he is about to undertake."

"I haven't seen you for a few days. I'm a lot smarter." Cohen stood up and took two steps forward. Lip quickly knelt down.

"Now, I will give you the identity of an alternate baron. You can call yourself a first-class baron to the outside world." Cohen said seriously: "The rebels have about twenty cities on the main defense line. Their troops are now panicked. You can persuade them to surrender on my behalf.

them."

Although he knew that his mission was relatively difficult, Lip still couldn't imagine that it was such an important thing, and he couldn't help but be stunned for a moment. But after he realized it, he nodded in agreement without any hesitation.

"As for the means of persuading surrender, try to show your talents. If you can persuade, persuade, if you can't, then lie. All I want is a result, and I don't care about your methods." Cohen pointed out to Lip: "As long as you are a human being, you are not afraid of anything.

Death, even if he is really not afraid of death, you have to make him understand that his death is worthless. If you meet a very strong guy, you have to make him remember the things worth remembering in life; if he is a weak person, you
