Royal Alchemist

When Feng Qi arrived at Mensa's mansion, Mensa and his wife greeted him personally.

Mensa's wife, Bai Ying, is a healer. When she was young, she was a famous beauty. Although she is now middle-aged, she is exquisitely dressed, graceful and luxurious, without any trace of time, but now she looks at Feng Qi with a tinge of emotion in her eyes. with resentment.

"I really don't understand why you value this kid so much. He's just a lowly commoner who got lucky. Sooner or later, his luck runs out and he dies in a pile of graves." Bai Ying still had a smile on her face, but said in her mouth Vicious words.

"Shut up!" Mensa scolded coldly without even looking at her.

Bai Ying was not convinced, and her voice became sharp: "Did I say something wrong? If it weren't for him, how could my Faster be trapped in the countryside now! Up to now there is not even a serious job! If he goes well After graduating from school, you might already be in an important position and can help you, so you don't have to work so hard all day long!"

"I said shut up!" Mensah repeated.

"You're still pissing me off! I'm not worried about this family, for you, or for our son! You..."

Mensa turned his head slowly, staring fiercely at Baiying with his eagle eyes, and the nasolabial folds on his face became deeper and deeper.

Bai Ying shivered in fright, and immediately closed her mouth.

While speaking, Feng Qi had already walked in front of them, stopped a step away and gave a military salute.

Mensa put on a smiling face, walked down the steps, and held onto his arm: "We don't have to be so restrained in private, come on, let's go into the house."

Bai Ying accompanied him all the way with a blank expression, and left with an excuse after sending him into the restaurant.

The exquisite dishes have been placed on the table, and the host and guest are seated one by one. Mensa shakes off the napkin: "I'm so glad you can come. Actually, I've wanted to invite you to dinner for a long time, but I haven't had the chance. I sent an invitation hastily today, I hope Please do not mind that."

"Of course not, I feel very honored." Feng Qi's attitude was very sincere, but his expression was still calm.

"Let's have something to eat first." Mensa ordered someone to open the wine, and personally poured a glass for Feng Qi, "This bottle of wine was given to me by His Majesty Ulysses when he ascended the throne. Time flies, so many years have passed in a blink of an eye. .”

"His Majesty the Emperor loves the general very much, which is enviable."

Feng Qi's serious and perfunctory ability can be said to be perfect, others may be fooled by him, but Mensa is a mature person, and he doesn't like this at all.

He picked up the wine glass and stroked it lightly, as if admiring the beautiful curve of the wine: "At first I was reluctant to drink it, and kept hiding it in the wine cellar, but now I suddenly figured out that no matter how precious it is, it's just a bottle It’s just wine, if you don’t drink it, you’ll never taste its deliciousness, then it’s worthless. So today I just take this opportunity to drink with you.”

On the surface it is about wine, but what is he actually talking about?

"Then I have to taste it carefully." Feng Qi said calmly.

Mensa took a deep look at Fengqi: "Your calmness always makes me forget your age."

Feng Qi also looked at Mensa, both wanted to dig out what was hidden deep in the other's eyes and gain the initiative in the conversation.They are like gladiators in the arena, confronting each other without giving in, always observing each other's movements, in order to kill with one blow.

If both of them were ordinary people, they might not be able to tell the difference for a while, but Feng Qi holds a hole card that Mensa cannot have, that is, he is reborn and can predict the future.

The balance is slowly pouring down, and in the end it is Mensa who throws a brick to attract jade: "I am afraid that you already know the news that I am resigning from the post of head of the High Command?"

"Yes, I heard."

In the previous life, Mensa was dismissed almost during this period, but in the previous life, the empire suffered continuous defeats and someone needed to take responsibility. This time it was because of the Luke Corridor.

So Feng Qi was not surprised by Mensa's dismissal.

"Alright, after so many years, I just happened to take a rest." Mensa laughed at himself.

If he really wanted to rest, he wouldn't have specially invited Feng Qi over here. As the party leader of a veteran aristocrat, his resignation would not have any impact on him in a short period of time, and he could even avoid chores and concentrate on sitting behind the scenes.

"In fact, even if I don't get rid of my position, I would like to resign. I feel like I'm sitting on pins and needles in this position, and I've made many decisions that make me very painful and embarrassed."

When Feng Qi heard this, he planned to switch from defense to offense, first carefully test it out: "In the whole country, I am afraid that only you can take the position of head of the command department, and everyone else is crowned with monkeys."

"I am very happy to hear that you have given me such a high evaluation. I am also very apprehensive. But I am already old, and any position I hold is secondary, but you are young and have an unlimited future. Commander-in-Chief of the Imperial Space Fleet The position has been vacant for a long time, and I once recommended you to take it to His Majesty, but it is a pity..."

In just a few words, a lot of information is hidden. First, I said that you think highly of me, and I am very happy, and then I said that I don't care about the post of head of the command department at all.As for you, I think highly of you too, but that emperor didn't take you seriously.

The words "to Your Majesty" in his words seem to be an understatement, but they are actually full of lethality.If it was replaced by an ordinary young man with a vigorous blood, I am afraid that he would start to resent the emperor.

Two people sitting at the dining table, sharing the illusory status, seems to be a very ridiculous thing, but it is the process of the two testing each other's bottom line.Hidden secret words are like a knife made of ice, stabbed into the body and become invisible, but when the knife sees blood, if there is the slightest negligence, the opponent will take it down.

"I just want to fight hard and drive the Demon Dragon people out." Feng Qi swiped a thousand pounds in twos and one stroke.

"I cannot shirk the blame for Lieutenant General Max." Mensa changed the subject, "Although he has a bad temper, he has been loyal to the empire and deserves to be honored instead of hastily covering up the past and whitewashing the past. A peaceful and beautiful world.”

"I heard he doesn't seem to have any family either."

"It's him, he's always been single. If I were to deal with it, I would posthumously make him an admiral, and then bury him well at the level of a general." Mensa said as he scooped up a spoonful of caviar, without looking at it. Feng Qi seemed to be extremely casual.

But this sentence has a strong hint.

Posthumously named general?Even if he is still the Minister of Command, what qualifications does he have to make Max a general?Only the emperor can be qualified to posthumously!

Of course, when people are chatting, they often say "if I do this, what will I do?", but Mensa invited himself to the house on purpose, and would he say some casual words?

Feng Qi pretended not to understand his hint, and followed his words: "Yes, Lieutenant General Max is too pity, there are so many people in the Light Legion."

"Your Shining Legion has also lost a lot, right?" Mensa didn't miss the last topic either.

Feng Qi sighed pretending to be heartbroken.

"It's too wasteful to lead so many soldiers with your talents. You should have a wider space. It's a pity that Mu Xiuyu will be destroyed by Lin Feng. There are many people in the army who are jealous of you. You were suppressed For too long, there needs to be an explosion."

These words were already too explicit, and they almost said directly: You support me, and when I become emperor, I will make you delicious and spicy!

Feng Qi took a sip of wine in silence.

"Feng Qi, a good bird chooses a tree to live in." Mensa held up the wine glass, "Come, don't drink alone. This glass pays tribute to the soldiers who died in battle, to the sleeping Lieutenant General Max, and to your future pay tribute."

When the wine glasses collided, it was crisp and pleasant to the ear, the crimson wine was shaking in the glass, reflecting Feng Qi's stern face.

On the other side of the apartment, Qiu Ye was rushing to welcome Safirol into the house, because he threw the unpacked packaging garbage all over the floor, so he hurriedly kicked the packaging bag aside.

Safirol saw this doll that looked exactly like Feng Qi dangling in front of his eyes, more importantly, it was still naked.

"Well, this doll...not bad..." Safirol didn't know how to evaluate it.

Qiu Ye hid the doll behind her back with a swish, and Safirol felt that the doll was lying on Qiu Ye's back and staring at him like a ghost.

"Ah, in fact, it has other matching clothes, but I haven't had time to wear it yet. Your Highness, please sit down first!"

Safirol dragged a chair away and sat down. Just as he was about to ask something, Qiuye casually stuffed the doll onto the chair opposite him, and then Safirol and Fengqi doll were facing each other again.

"Huh? Where's the clothes? Didn't you say a set of military uniforms?" Qiuye searched for a while but couldn't find it, so she had to cover the doll with her own clothes to temporarily cover it up.

Safirol, who had just had dinner, looked at the half-covered Fengqi doll opposite, feeling a little indigestion.

"Your Highness, you drink tea." Qiu Ye made a cup of tea and brought it out, and sat on the other side of the table.

Sapphirol held the teacup in his palm: "I'm sorry, I interrupted your meal."

"It's okay, we are late today. Your Highness, what can I do for you?"

"I'm here to look for Fengqi." Safirol put down his cup, glanced at the doll, then at the half-eaten food on the table, "Is he not here?"

"Ah, I'm angry when I mention this. I was planning to eat, but suddenly said that the Legion has something to do and left, leaving me to eat alone." Qiu Ye said depressingly.

Mensa's invitation to Fengqi must be a conspiracy, and it is impossible for Qiuye to tell him Fengqi's real whereabouts.

Seeing Qiu Ye's angry look, Safirol doubted him: "Then I'll sit here and wait for him for a while, I hope you don't mind. You can eat first, don't worry about me."

Qiuye originally wanted to try the various functions of the doll while eating, but now that Safirol is here, she can't do anything.

Safirol looked around the small apartment. Although the military department changed the suites for them, the dormitory is still a dormitory, and you can see the end at a glance when you walk in the door.But the cleaning is fairly clean, if you ignore the pile of doll boxes in the corner.

"Are you used to living here?" Safirol asked.

Qiu Ye lowered her head and picked up the rice, and raised her head when she heard Safirol's question: "Thank you for your concern, Your Highness, it's very good."

"Don't be so formal, you can eat at ease."

A few days ago, Emperor Ulysses planned to reward Feng Qi with a villa, but Feng Qi refused again.

Saffirol thinks this is not a good phenomenon. A person without material desires is terrible, especially if he always refuses to build a stable home. A person who has a fixed partner but does not want to settle down means that his heart is against Not recognized here.When a person does not seem to have any pursuit on the surface, there must be a greater desire hidden in his heart. This desire is far from being satisfied by a villa or other things.

Saffirol has always wanted to find out what Fengqi was thinking, but he found it impossible to do so. Although Qiuye seemed to be able to figure out something, in fact, he could always fool him every time. The outside and the inside, I am only responsible for eating, I don’t know anything.”

"Your place is so small, isn't it convenient if you have guests?"

"We don't have any guests. Why don't we just talk to the office about anything? Seriously, Your Highness, you are our first guest."

"Feng Qi often goes out, will you be left to eat alone?"

"No, I often come back very late, and then Feng Qi eats alone." Qiu Ye's appearance is not to mention how innocent it is.

Saffirol subconsciously glanced at Feng Qiwa.

"It was an accident!" Qiu Ye quickly explained, "I just bought this doll today!"

"Ah, I just bought it."

"I just suddenly wanted to play something new, you know eating alone is boring."

"Well, fresh, I understand."

The more you say it, the more wrong it becomes, and the more you explain it, the darker it becomes.

What do you understand, Your Highness!Fall leaves crumble.

In short, over and over again, Safirol couldn't ask any useful information.

Mensa sent Feng Qi to the car and watched him leave.

On the way back, Feng Qi thought about Mensa's words, dialed a phone number, and the communication was quickly connected. A man said "Hello" in a low voice, and Jinghu's voice and crisp opera singing could still be heard faintly. .

"I want to confirm with you about Mensa's recent situation."

The man laughed a few times, and his voice seemed to come from his chest: "It's all within your expectations, don't worry, I will notify you in time if there is any abnormality."

Only then did Feng Qi feel relieved, and ended the communication.

As soon as I got home and opened the door, I saw a strange picture. Qiuye yawned and watched TV. On the left was Saffirol who was drinking tea silently. On the right was a doll exactly like herself, naked, oh no, the key The part was barely covered with a piece of clothing.

As soon as she saw Feng Qi entering the room, Qiu Ye said first: "Are you back? Have you finished your affairs in the army? Your Royal Highness has been waiting for you for a long time."

Feng Qi understood Qiu Ye's meaning as soon as he heard it, nodded knowingly, and first saluted Safirol: "Good evening, Your Highness."

Safirol stood up and returned the salute: "I was so busy and didn't go home so late, I am very grateful for your contribution to the empire."

"It's the responsibility." Feng Qi said lightly, "I'm sorry Your Highness, there is nothing at home to entertain you, please forgive me for being negligent. In fact, if you want to summon me, just send me a message directly, and come to the door in person, which is very frightening. "

"I was the one to be abrupt, but I just thought it would be better for me to confirm some things with you face to face."

"Please sit down, Your Highness." Feng Qi said to Qiu Ye, "I'm very thirsty, can you pour me a glass of water?"

This is the meaning of avoiding Qiuye. Qiuye has been bored for a long time, poured two cups of hot tea immediately, and walked into the bedroom with Fengqi doll in her arms.

What happened to that doll?What is he going to do in there?

These two questions circled in Feng Qi's mind, put them aside, and focused on dealing with the person in front of him.

In the living room, only Fengqi and Safirol are sitting face to face.

They are two completely different people.Feng Qi is stern and arrogant, exuding a dignified and inviolable aura all over his body, but his aloof leadership makes him full of personal charm, making people willing to follow in his footsteps.Safirol is gentle and elegant, and every move proves that he is a well-educated prince. He naturally has an aura that makes people look up to him, and he surrenders at his feet.If Fengqi is water frozen into ice, then Saffirol is a hot spring. Although both are water, they are fundamentally different.

"It's really enviable to see you two get along so well," Safirol said.

"I cherish every day with him." Feng Qi can be said to be proud when he said this.

Sapphirol smiled politely and got to the point: "I am very sorry for the huge loss of the Shining Legion. If I hadn't proposed to capture Luke at that time, I am afraid it would not have been so tragic. Every time I think about it, I They all feel very guilty.”

"This is the responsibility of our group, not your fault alone. Your Highness, please be sure not to have any psychological burden."

"If you didn't command properly, I'm afraid the empire would lose two huge legions. You saved so many people. On behalf of the empire, I would like to express my gratitude to you."

"I brought so many young lives to the battlefield, so I have an obligation to bring them back." Feng Qi said seriously.

"We have been passive in the battle with the dragon people. I think the reason is that we lack a unified command, especially on the battlefield, we cannot make timely adjustments according to the actual situation. It's really ugly to be arguing about whether to divide the troops or move forward." Safirol said while observing Feng Qi's expression.

But Feng Qi always had a slumped face, showing no signs of it.

"I'm discussing this issue with my father, and he also thinks that the situation of disunity cannot continue." Safirol suddenly threw a heavy bomb, "Who do you think is qualified to be the commander-in-chief of the space fleet?"

Feng Qi only thought it was funny, but within an hour or so, the two of them almost said the same thing, trying to seduce him with the position of commander-in-chief.It is true that this is indeed the tempting chocolate on the cake. Hundreds of millions of soldiers obey the command of one person, and they are domineering and majestic.

But the problem is that what Feng Qi wants is a whole piece of cake, not just the little chocolate on top!

They all underestimated Feng Qi's appetite too much.

Feng Qi disdains casually pointing at someone who is in charge, this is an insult to Marshal Ravenor, but it is impossible to say that no one is suitable except for me, so he avoids the important and lightly said: "Since the Marshal, no one can handle this important task. "

Safirol looked deeply at Fengqi, and said meaningfully: "When the Marshal led the Legion of Glory, he was about the same age as you are now."

Feng Qi still avoids the minefield: "I will take the Marshal as an example and devote myself to it."

Safirol suddenly felt a little restless, he suddenly didn't know what kind of answer he wanted?

He thinks that Feng Qi is ambitious, no matter how loyal Feng Qi is, he will not believe it. It seems that Feng Qi must admit that I have wanted to rebel for a long time, but this is obviously not the answer he wants to get when he visits the door late at night.

For the man in front of him, Safirol has only one thought in his mind, that is, he cannot control it.This is fatal to a person in power, and it is intolerable, so he is instinctively disturbed.

Although Qiu Ye returned to the bedroom, a star was still hanging outside. The sound insulation of the room was not very good, and their conversation could be faintly heard in his ears.

He seemed to see again eight years ago when their freshmen team drew lots. Safirol was holding a blue card and Fengqi had drawn a red card. Safirol extended an olive branch to him: "Are you interested in coming to my side?" Fengqi replied: "I like red."

The scene in front of me now is surprisingly similar, and history repeats itself once again.

Safirol said: "You follow me, and I can appoint you as the commander-in-chief of the space fleet." Fengqi replied: "I will do what I should do."

It's all because they can't be a subordinate relationship, they can only be juxtaposed, or hostile, or even die.

After the two chatted for a while, Safirol left the apartment.

Gerald, who had been waiting for him in the car, was relieved to see him come out.

"It's been a long time," exclaimed Gerald. "How did it go?"

Safirol leaned back in the chair, raised his head slightly, and closed his eyes: "There is no result."

Gerald frowned: "What exactly does he want?"

Safirol put his arms over his eyelids and didn't answer the question.

"Then have you talked to Akiba?" Gerald said.

"What can I talk to him about?"

Gerald glanced at him: "I thought you liked him."

"I really like it, but what can I do?" Safirol pressed his forehead, "If he was a girl, I would not let him go easily when he was in school, but he is not. Now that I know There can be no outcome, so why start? Isn't this creating pain for both parties?"

"Aren't you thinking too much? Don't you only know about some things after doing them? Maybe it will be clear when the time comes." Girod was extremely dissatisfied with his rotation.

"Maybe, but I don't want to waste time on something that needs a miracle to bear fruit. I hope you can understand this too." Safirol reminded.

Gerald turned away with a dark face.

Sapphirol patted his friend on the shoulder to comfort him.

"Occasionally, I feel panic a few times." Safirol showed a tired look, and he would only show this fragile expression when no one was around, "I feel like I am witnessing a decline."

After seeing Safirol off, Feng Qi walked into the bedroom, and saw Qiu Ye lying on the doll, whose body was [-] to [-] in height, tightly entwined with her arms and legs.

I've never seen him hug me like this before!Feng Qi is dissatisfied.

Qiu Ye turned around and smiled at him when he heard the voice, with an innocent expression on his face.

Feng Qi lifted the quilt, and reached into his clothes with slightly cool hands: "I think it is necessary to have an in-depth discussion on the issue of this doll tonight."
