The Alchemist of Lust 10 (Celebrity Adult Novel)

Chapter 1 of the 10th Part of the Adventures in the Flower City: Undercurrents Rise

August, 1809 of the Imperial Calendar, late summer, night.

Twenty nautical miles away from the empire’s southern city.

"Sir, the other party is coming."

"Um."

On a small, ordinary commercial ship above the dark sea, sat a calm-looking man. He was dressed in a rough blue casual suit, just like an ordinary sailor. However, his skin was very smooth, not at all like that of a man who did rough labor, and his eyes were sharp, mixed with a kind of arrogance and confidence that only nobles and celebrities had.

Beside him was a white-haired old man with a beard down to his belly, and six strong men with shining eyes. Except for the old man and the man in blue who were sitting, the other four strong men were all standing. Although the summer sea breeze was strong and the boat was shaking constantly, the six of them stood as solid as mountains.

In the distance, another equally inconspicuous wooden boat was coming over. It lit up its lights and flashed three short and one long signals. One of the strong men took out a fire lamp and a black cloth and gave two long and two short signals to the approaching ship. After confirmation, the two boats slowly approached with light splashes of water.

The man in blue nodded, and with the support of two strong men, the old man went to the bow to meet the newcomer. After a long negotiation, the old man returned to the cabin and whispered to the man, "Sir, those damn guys are asking for a high price of 3,600 gold coins. Why don't we..."

The man was not angry or unhappy. His calm eyes fell on the other boat. Tiny bubbles that were hard to see with the naked eye appeared on the dark sea. He shook his head gently and said sparingly, "The overall situation is more important. I will pay you."

The old man was secretly surprised by the blue man's cowardly reaction, but he didn't dare to refute him, "Young Master is right."

The white-haired old man negotiated with the visitor again, and after paying the money, he called four strong men to carry a large steel box into the small merchant ship. The four strong men had all practiced martial arts, and their arms were more than twice as thick as those of ordinary people. However, when they barely lifted the box, veins appeared on their foreheads. After the steel box passed the ship, the draft of the small merchant ship dropped sharply. It can be seen that the weight of the things inside the steel box, which was only twelve feet long, was extremely unusual.

After lifting the steel box, the man in blue gestured to leave, but the other party gave another signal. After the old man spoke to them for a few words, he returned to the cabin and reported, "Sir, they asked if we were interested in spending an extra two hundred gold coins to buy two pieces of news?"

The man smiled and nodded without hesitation. The old man took the money over and came back after hearing the news. When the other party's boat sailed away, the old man said in confusion: "Xi'er is stupid, why should we spend that money? With our strength, we can rob the goods and kill them."

The man in blue stood up, looked at the boat that was going far away and slowly disappeared into the night, then he sighed and said, "Don't underestimate the "Sea Tiger", there is someone under the boat. "

Xier, who was called the butler, was shocked, and the other six magic swordsmen disguised as servants were also ashamed. Xier exclaimed coldly: "Flying Fish" Hua Suer? ! "

The man put his hands behind his back and secretly praised Haihu's coordination. According to his information, "Flying Fish" Hua Suer is one of Hai Hu's two trusted subordinates. Although he is not good at martial arts, he has the blood of a mermaid and can sneak underwater for a day and a night without having to come out of the water. Even sharks in the sea cannot catch up with him. The man thought secretly, unless it was a magician. Tianmei must be here in person, otherwise no one can catch Huasul who is hiding in the sea.

Tonight's transaction was arranged by an intermediary. Because it cannot be made public, Haihu's side does not know who they are. However, if they randomly rob goods and kill people, Hua Suer, who has witnessed this scene, will definitely go back and report everything, which may even expose their identities. Haihu sent this flying fish, which is more threatening than sending a great swordsman. This is what is called using softness to overcome hardness.

The man who could not be seen in public while trading with pirates was the commander of the 30,000 naval forces of Hao City, a prominent figure in charge of the traffic in the southern waters of the empire, and the eldest son of Prime Minister Horus - "Nighthawk" Yulet.

The butler Xi'er and the six retainers who followed him were all in awe of Yulet's intelligence and observation. Although he came from a wealthy family, he was able to command the city's heavy troops not by relying on his father's influence. He graduated from Tolaria Academy with excellent grades, and his swordsmanship, magic and military talents were second only to Agali, who was in the same class. Radel can be compared.

Not only did Yulete have remarkable achievements, but he also had considerable combat exploits. Countless pirates were defeated by him. The smooth sea route in the south was largely due to this man's contribution. Although he is not as good as Avanti. Radley had made great achievements, but he always adhered to the principle of being a general without fame, just like his low-key personality who didn't like to talk. Because he particularly liked to fight at night, he was nicknamed "Nighthawk" by the army.

"Open the steel box."

The two magic swordsmen opened the steel box, and inside was a huge sword that was completely shiny black. The sword body and hilt were more than eight feet long, and the sword body and appearance were rough. Yulet squatted down and pressed the giant sword in the air. When he gathered his magic power, the sword stood up and reacted, emitting a domineering and piercing vibration frequency, and the nearby wood of the hull was also cracked.

Is this a divine weapon?

This giant sword weighs more than a ton, and even Yulete didn't dare to pick it up rashly. He nodded slightly, and the magic swordsman closed the lid of the giant sword and sealed it. The six magic swordsmen worked together to carry the giant sword away. Xier smiled and said, "That's great, God? "Badao" is finally in our hands. Lord Tianmei will definitely be very happy! "

Think of wizards. It was so beautiful that Yulett couldn't help but look longing, and said, "Well, the teacher should like it. I just bought some news."

Xier whispered in Yulet's ear: "It's not good. They said that the pirate king got a treasure and took in 20,000 sea dragon soldiers. He is now actively building ships and buying weapons. He will make a comeback soon."

"Well, "Pirate King" Zhenluofu..." Yulet didn't say much, just looked up and admired the moonlight in the sky. Zhenluofu is really a ruthless guy. A year ago, Zhenfuming sent out an army of 150,000, Heluofu sent out an army of 120,000, and a navy of 300,000 joined forces to attack Zhenluofu. Although they wiped out more than half of his troops, he still managed to escape successfully. Unexpectedly, only a year later, he was able to regroup and come back. At the same time, he thought that Haihu actually leaked the news deliberately so that the Empire could contain Zhenluofu's actions.

"The second thing is about Hailong. I heard that Ogancha was defeated and died in the Sin Island, but this may be false news. There is a high chance that he will join Avanti."

Yulett's eyes sparkled, and a rare smile appeared on his lips as he murmured, "Battlefield Mage Avanti." Radre, he possesses the wisdom and charm that a commander should have. It seems that the battle of Sin Island should have been planned by him. The battle that night must have been very exciting, but it's a pity that I didn't have the chance to witness it. "

Xier was secretly panicked. On the one hand, he was surprised that Yulet, who was usually silent, suddenly said so much. On the other hand, he was surprised by the content of his words. He hurriedly said, "Sir, please don't say such things in front of the master!"

"Hehehehehe...Are there any clues about the "Sky Mirror"? "

"Please rest assured, sir. We have confirmed that the Sky Mirror is within the territory of Zhen Foming. "

"Okay, take "Badao" and the two pieces of news back, and I will meet up in the imperial capital later. "

"As you command, Xier."

Yulete smiled without saying anything, quietly looking at the moon in the sky. The moonlight tonight was really charming, but what occupied his mind was not this moon, but another moon that was even more charming. Jingshuiyue, Jingshuiyue, have you set off for the imperial court?

At the same time, at the Imperial Capital Pier.

"Thank you for your hard work, Mr. Perry!"

"I feel bad for asking Your Majesty to personally welcome us."

"Teacher, you are too polite. The carriage is ready."

The dock at midnight should have been very peaceful, but Willy VI, the king of a country, appeared at this time and place, and behind him were the deputy marshal of the Golden Lion Army, Xian Wendi, and the magician. Kevin. The one who just arrived by boat was an old man with silver hair and a dignified look. Behind him were three men and two women. Although they were dressed in ordinary clothes, each of them had a special temperament and appearance.

Willy VI held Pei Li's hand, Xian Wendi opened the car door for them personally, and Kevin followed them in. Willy VI smiled and said, "Thank you, great strategist Pei Li. Is everything going well?"

"Thanks to your Majesty, after six years of time and countless money, we are finally getting results."

Xian Wendi and Ke Wen looked at each other, knowing that there would be major personnel changes in the military and political circles. Pei Li, the chief strategist and think tank leader who advises Willy VI, brought a hundred smart and resourceful young men and women to the "Mercenary Country" Andao Federation for intensive training six years ago. However, only four of them were able to return safely today, which shows that they are all genuine talents who have been baptized by war.

Pei Li asked, "Is your Majesty in good health?"

Willy VI gave a bitter smile, shook his head and said, "The Great Strategist's eyes are still sharp, but it's really useless when he gets old. He just activated the "Emperor's Sword" once, but his vitality was seriously damaged. He can't recover in half a year. Alas... Last time, thanks to the teacher's brilliant strategy, the two armies of the North and the South fought hard, and I finally eliminated the two thorns in my eyes, Toliron and Heim. "

Pei Li smiled slightly and said, "Hehehehe... It's not a brilliant plan. It's just that Afanti and Anfei are stupid. I just gave them two heads and they decided that it was Herus's doing. They even said something like a "battlefield mage". Aren't they afraid of making people laugh to death? Hahahahaha..."

Xian Wendi whispered, "Teacher Pei Li, don't underestimate Afanti. He..."

Pei Li reached out his hand to stop Xian Wendi and said, "General, don't overestimate Afanti. Any of the people I brought back is better than him."

Willy VI coughed twice and said, "But this boy has become a force to be reckoned with. He not only controls the military power of the eleven northern counties, but also has prestigious and experienced generals such as Po Yue, Ai Hua, and Libby. In addition, the financial resources of the Yimeilu merchant family, the power of the Rose Society, and his relationship with various tribes have an impact on the authority of our imperial court and the royal family."

"Hey, there's no need to be afraid of a mere clown. In fact, this guy still has quite a few weaknesses. As long as you hit his vital points, he will naturally pose no threat."

"Ah?! Please teach me, teacher!"

With a sly smile on his face, Pei Li stroked his beard and said, "First of all, Afanti's relationship with the family is not harmonious, especially with the second brother Yashadu. As long as he uses the princess to find a husband and then uses the second prince to bribe Yashadu, it will be easy to provoke a fight between them."

"Well, it's not difficult."

"The second thing is the Imeilu merchant clan. Anfei has a close relationship with Avanti, so it would be a waste of effort to win her over. On the other hand, she is Avanti's fatal weakness. As long as we take advantage of her hatred for Helus, we can induce Avanti and Helus to kill each other, and we can reap the benefits."

"But Herus is not a pushover. If he's too conspicuous..."

"Has your majesty forgotten about Sitris and Pangomela? Now we are waiting for Pangomela to give birth to please Horus, and then we will order him to hand over Pangomela and then give it to Avanti. Of course, we will pretend to be helpless."

"Good plan! The royal family can both please all parties and catalyze their fight. But the matter of Xiwei gives me a headache. I really missed a step this time. I didn't expect Tolilon's daughter to be so terrible. In just half a year, she has established an underground force more powerful than her father. Her influence in the empire cannot be ignored." Levi VI said with a headache, but Xian Wendi looked embarrassed, because he was the one who cut off Tolilon's head with his own hands that day.

"Your Majesty, don't be anxious. Xiwei is still a descendant of the royal family. She and Avanti are only related by interests. As long as we wait for the right opportunity, we will be able to divide them. I heard that Xiwei has a special relationship with a female cadre, maybe we can take advantage of it."

"Well... the power of the Radel family cannot be underestimated. If the 100,000 Black Dragon Army falls into the hands of Avanti, the consequences will be unpredictable."

Pei Li pondered for a long time, and sighed for the first time: "The 100,000 Black Dragon Army is indeed a source of trouble, but the one we should really be careful of is Fate Radel. Six years ago, Afanti was sent to the border to fight against the orcs. At that time, he did not even say a word of opposition, but later he resolutely vindicated the Imeilu family and appointed Afanti to report to the imperial capital. The current situation is actually caused by him."

Mentioned Fat. Radel and Willy VI had extremely complicated expressions. Their love triangle with Gindisi had lasted for thirty years. Xian Wendi showed a look of awe. Fate was not only the marshal of the Black Dragon Army, but also one of the Three Swordsmen during the war between the two countries. Both he and his son had no record of being defeated!

Pei Li continued, "Avanti is ambitious and greedy for advantage. We can increase his glory and speed up the situation where they are inseparable. As long as the Northern Alliance and the Radel family are separated, they have nothing to fear."

Willy VI smiled with satisfaction and said, "What a good plan! Teacher Pei Li is truly a great strategist. Even if Bogotan the Wise were alive, he could not be as good as you. "

"Your Majesty, you are too kind. Alas... Bogotan... It's a pity that he died so early. I really want to compete with him in strategy again."
