Throne Steps
Chapter 72
As Saenz expected, when he returned to the hotel room at night and closed the door, Li Chen immediately got into trouble.
"I'm going to sleep with Clement tonight." Li Chen stood at the door, "Tomorrow night, and the night after tomorrow." On the day after tomorrow, Akye had to follow Yanying.
Saenz had just walked to the center of the room when he heard the words and turned to look at him.
Li Chen didn't dare to act rashly for a while.He also concealed the real reason for wanting Fudexi, which is actually quite different from Saenz's self-assessment.The reason why he was the first to break this balance was to preemptively strike and escape Saenz's accusation by the way.
Although I can hide from the first day of the junior high school but not the fifteenth day, but after two days, maybe the leader will calm down, right?
Saenz is clearly not a character who would be put off by such a raid.He stared quietly into Li Chen's eyes, his originally indifferent expression slowly revealing a trace of teasing.
As a "student of Saenz's micro-expression", Li Chen knew the meaning of "you jumped into the pit by yourself".But he decided to play tricks today, so he pretended not to see Saenz's joke: "Clement was temporarily added to the team, and I have to finalize with him what he has to do."
Saenz finally said, "I'll go tomorrow night. You can make an agreement with me tonight."
What needs to be "negotiated" is what Akye will do after he goes to Yanying, or what is Fudexi's true identity?Li Chen's mind flashed around in a flash, arbitrarily thinking that he was the former: "Then tell Clement tomorrow night? Your Highness, I have just confirmed our relationship with him, and we are about to separate soon. He still has to Going to do something dangerous...I'm really worried, two nights is not enough."
Even though Saenz was so used to Li Chen's shamelessness, the corners of his mouth twitched because of all the conceivable expressions in his words.Thinking about it carefully, what Li Chen said before was all about his relationship with him, and Renren passed away—in fact, it was because he was so used to it that he became numb—now when he described his relationship with others, he realized that The choice of words and sentences is really uncommonly chilling.
No wonder the butler would frown every time he listened to Li Chen's dramatic accent, but now he understands it very well.
However, even though it was a joke, the intimacy intentionally revealed in the words still makes people a little unhappy, and there is a subtle illusion of being coveted.In addition, Saenz did have a debt to settle with Li Chen, so the young man's answer was still dismissed: "It took you three days to worry about him being able to have that status before? Or are you blind and fell in love with a man?" A square log that can only be rolled with one kick?"
Here it comes again, the leader's rhetorical sarcasm.Li Chen walked slowly to the side of the young man, and sighed softly: "It is precisely because he was a character before that I am afraid that he is self-righteous, does not understand your correct thinking, and instead delays his actions, isn't it? Besides, my relationship with you The relationship is solid and stable, so I naturally manage everything for your benefit; I am just a junior master and servant with him, so I still worry that the orders are not in place, and the actions are not in place."
These words were derogatory and exaggerated, and Li Chen deliberately used a helpless tone with a hint of grievance, coupled with his originally cold and now deliberately softened expression-it really puts "I'm afraid that he did something wrong, but it's actually for you." Good" said exactly as it should.
Saenz has known Li Chen for so many years, so he naturally knows that this is just Li Chen's method; but Li Chen has also known Saenz for so many years, and he has already researched which method Saenz likes best.
Of course, this is mainly due to the fact that Li Chen has already taken root in the hearts of the leaders, otherwise it would be useless to act.
If the entanglement continued, Li Chen might start acting on the spot.Saenz wanted to interrupt the beginning of this vicious circle, so his face darkened, and he asked clearly: "Do you still owe me an explanation about 'Fordhi'?"
Li Chen's heart skipped a beat, and the eyes that looked at the young man gradually lost their warmth.The slightly exaggerated expression disappeared from his face, replaced by a mature seriousness, which was very inconsistent under his appearance.He was not in a hurry to express his position, but corrected his attitude first.It's not like Saenz has never seen this kind of calm and steady approach, and every time he feels that he is talking to Li Chen on an equal footing.
This kind of "equality" is only a vague consciousness, and it cannot be specific to a certain instance.Even if Li Chen speaks in honorific terms, this feeling cannot be erased.
"Your Highness, please forgive me for not telling you all about Fudexi. If this has caused you to fall into a passive state in today's negotiations, I am willing to be punished accordingly." Li Chen is also a head shorter than Saenz, He still needs to raise his head when looking closely at each other, but he did not appear weak in momentum, "There are two reasons why I don't tell you, one is that I promised Yan Ying to keep this secret, and the other is that even if I want to tell you, I will not tell you now. It’s never the right time.”
There is no spirit of speech, and there is no dignified coercion to oppress the body, which shows that there is still room for maneuver in concealing things.Li Chen put on a serious and sincere attitude at the right time, but Saenz could no longer talk to him in a restrained tone.
"Isn't the right time?" Saenz sneered, "When is the right time?"
If it was about the "son of the curse", there was no right time to confess to Pure White.Li Chen knew it in his heart, but he said: "The future is unpredictable, so I can't give you an accurate answer. But as far as the current prediction is concerned, I will wait until the impact of all these can be controlled to the minimum to express it to you."
"'Influence'?" Saenz leaned over slightly, pinching Li Chen's chin with his right hand, forcing the other party not to look away, "Li Chen, I still hold your loyalty contract, don't do anything that makes me unhappy .”
"I would like to follow your instructions, Your Highness." Li Chen put one hand on Saenz's right arm, and pressed the other hand on his heart, slowly showing a smile, "The oath of allegiance to you is engraved on my heart." In my heart, everything is for your happy smile."
Saenz looked him in the eyes, they were so close, the tight bond seemed to convey each other's emotions.Although Li Chen made arbitrarily assertive claims five times and three times, and Saenz repeatedly warned him, Pure White had to admit that Li Chen's loyalty had never been doubted.
Saenz's fingers left Li Chen's chin, Li Chen smiled gently and said, "Your Highness?"
A piece of clothing suddenly fell on his head, and Li Chen took it off to see that it was the old Saenz clothing that he wore at night and kept in his leadership ring during the day.Li Chen smiled, knowing that Saenz agreed to what happened tonight.
However, should I wait for Saenz to sleep before going over?Li Chen was a little uncertain.
Seeing Li Chen holding the clothes and still staring at him, Saenz was a little embarrassed by throwing the clothes, but fortunately he didn't show it on his face: "Aren't you going to get out?"
Li Chen blinked, suddenly showing an expression of understanding but not revealing, bowed and said: "Good night, Your Highness."
Saenz felt that his embarrassment seemed to be caught. He watched Li Chen retreat to the door, turned to open the door, and said coldly, "You have repeatedly called the wrong one tonight..."
Li Chen paused when he heard the words, turned his head and smiled and said, "Good night, Sal!"
Then before Saenz could reply, the child jumped out of the door and slammed the door shut.
When Li Chen went to Akeye's room, Akeye was still wearing the clothes he had when he went out.He was the only one in the room. To be precise, as long as he was staying in a hotel, almost everyone had a room alone. Only Li Chen was often carried into Saenz's room.However, even if Li Chen was not "flipped", he would consciously sneak into Akye's room.It's called "saving money" in a good name, but it's actually thinking about the lone wolf with Akye.
In the past, when Li Chen talked with Akye, he would say whatever he wanted.When I came in this time, I hesitated for a while, and then set up a sound-proof barrier around to prevent eavesdropping.Although in theory no one will pay attention to their conversation, and those who pay attention—such as Saenz—may not be rare to eavesdrop, but just in case, Li Chen still did it.Even though this barrier is not difficult for a master like Saenz to break, but taking a step back, if Saenz really intends to know the content of their conversation, at least this sound-proof barrier represents Li Chen's attitude.
Although Akeye had been deprived of his source of fighting energy, he could still understand what Li Chen's actions represented.Since he used the soundproof enchantment, it means that he needs to keep his mouth shut about Li Chen's next words.
Sure enough, Li Chen didn't waste time when he opened his mouth, and the news headline came again: "Fodexi is the 'son of the curse' whose magic source has been deactivated, you must find a way to get him into my hands."
Akye was taken aback.Even though names such as necromancer and son of the curse were widely spread in Letia, it was not easy to see people with such names.The legendary "son of the curse" will be marked with the necromancer and become the eyes and ears of the necromancer. Any gift of the light department is a death threat to them.This kind of character setting, if it is said to be more suitable for the aura of the lone wolf, how could it be hidden in the rock eagle?
Moreover, Li Chen clearly wanted to serve Saenlich, the supreme leader of the light camp, so why would he want to take the "son of the curse" into his pocket?
Akye didn't hide his doubts, and Li Chen's answer was more meaningful: "Isn't that counterfeit of Lailier also in His Highness's team? Isn't Fugeral's little feather Edren also with the killer?" Mixed together? Where there is light, there will be shadows."
Akeye hadn't realized what Li Chen meant, and heard him laughing again: "The more obvious the shadow, the stronger the light."
This roughly means that Lailier's counterfeit, the son of the curse, and Edren are all available pawns.But Akye still couldn't understand it thoroughly for a while, and Li Chen didn't plan to mention him any more.
Li Chen just added: "Your Highness naturally doesn't know the true hidden identity of Fu Dexi, I promise His Highness to tell him when it's appropriate, so don't talk too much."
Akye is naturally not a talkative person, and Li Chen is just reminding him in case of accidents.
Akye asked again: "How to deal with Fudexi?"
"Whatever you want. Anyway, I've been beating him for several years, and his shell should be broken." Li Chen rubbed his chin, "If it doesn't work, just beat him until he is subdued."
After all, Akye had been the boss before, and after listening to Li Chen's statement, he also guessed that he had made progress in subduing him.It's just that there is still one thing to be clear: "What level is he now?"
"If it's physical skills alone, it shouldn't be a problem to kill three or five people like me." Li Chen laughed, "But with a little trick, I can handle him too."
Akeye nodded, and he also understood Li Chen's "beaten to the point of conviction".
Li Chen smiled and said: "Don't be too aggressive, after all, if you succeed, you may still be good partners in the future."
Akye raised his eyebrows slightly, and didn't say a word, probably meaning "I can't bear this blow and I can't be a partner".
"Oh, and." Li Chen thought again, "He knows one thing about me, but you don't. If he uses this to sway you, I can add a little more to his brain .”
This is what Fudexi said, but in fact, it is to beat Akye not to be confused by the other party.Akeye looked at Li Chen, and realized that the other party really didn't plan to tell this "he knows you and I don't know" in advance, so he couldn't help squinting his eyes.
"Don't worry." Li Chen patted the other party with a smile, "You will always know. Speaking of which, I want you to take him in. No matter how you say, you are still higher than him, and I trust your judgment more."
Akye actually didn't care who was more important, but he still knew how much the words would change when it came to Li Chen's mouth.So in order to stop such topics, Akye wisely shut up.
"I'm going to sleep with Clement tonight." Li Chen stood at the door, "Tomorrow night, and the night after tomorrow." On the day after tomorrow, Akye had to follow Yanying.
Saenz had just walked to the center of the room when he heard the words and turned to look at him.
