"I will leave the palace for a few days. During my absence, you can make decisions on all small matters by yourself. On major matters, you can discuss and decide with Princess Mireira, Princess Kaguraya, and Princess Jiang Lihua." After all the ministers saluted, Ito Cheng He looked at them and said.

"Yes." The cabinet ministers who knew Ito's temper did not object, and they all clasped their fists and saluted.

"That's what I want to say. Everyone except Bertolia, please go down." Seeing that things went well, Ito Cheng nodded and said.

"I (concubine) retire." The cabinet ministers saluted Mi Lei, Kagura Ye, and Jiang Lihua who stood up from their seats, and then turned and left the imperial study one after another.

"Although the guy Zha Lulu hasn't been found yet, the matter is over for the time being. I'll leave this thing to you." When Bertolia and himself were the only ones left in the study room, Ito Cheng turned over his hand and took out the seal. The Leia Stone crystal with Mariana's soul was thrown on the table, and when it collided with the table, it made a sound of "Danglanglanglang...".

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Bertolia said with a complicated expression as she looked at the trembling Leia Stone crystal on the table.

"This kind of crystal is very hard. If you want to destroy it, you'd better use a large tool, and then throw the debris into a high-temperature furnace to destroy it completely. Otherwise, even if the crystal breaks, there may still be Mariana's remains. The soul remains." Ito Cheng reminded.

Bertolia stepped forward and took the Leia Stone crystal in her hand. She nodded and returned to her original position.

"When I appointed you as the head of the Imperial Secret Intelligence Department, I said that if you do things well, I will have another surprise for you." At this time, Ito Cheng stood up from his seat and walked around the desk from the side. Bertolia said quietly.

"You have done very well these days, so I decided to heal your body and help you survive!" He walked up to Bertolia, half-curved his right index finger and gently hooked her chin, and gently He raised Bertolia's head so that her eyes met hers and said.

Hear what Ito Cheng said. Bertolia's eyes flashed immediately, and it was obvious that her heart was affected by Ito Cheng's words.

"Go down and explain what you are doing, and then leave the palace with me. I will treat you on the way." Ito Cheng, who retracted his arm, chuckled.

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Bertolia thanked her in an incomprehensible tone.

"Go back quickly." Ito Cheng turned around and walked back to his seat and sat down.

Bertolia first bowed to Ito Cheng. Then he turned around and left the imperial study room.

Ito Cheng, who watched Bertolia leave, smiled slightly, then took out a communicator from the desk and contacted Cornelia, Kallen, Veretta, Zhou Xianglin and Li Xingke who were staying outside to digest the newly acquired territory. Five people. Explain to them the things and arrangements that he will be away for a while, so that they can deal with the current problems with peace of mind and don't have to rush back to the empire.

After he finished explaining the matter, Ito Cheng cut off contact and sat quietly in the study room to wait.

"Your Majesty, Bertolia's intelligence officer is here." After a while, Gao Hai, who was guarding outside the imperial study, gently opened the door and walked into the study, reporting to Ito Shigemi, who was sitting in his seat with his eyes closed.

"Tell her to come in." Hearing this, Ito Cheng opened his eyes. Looking at Gao Hai, he ordered.

"Yes." Gao Hai agreed, turned around and left the imperial study. Then the next moment, Bertolia's figure walked into the imperial study and caught Ito Cheng's sight.

"Have you finished explaining everything?" Ito Cheng asked.

"Yes." Bertolia replied.

"Okay, let's go." Ito Cheng nodded. He stood up from his seat and said. Then he turned around and walked around the desk, walked past Bertolia, and left the imperial study with Bertolia who followed silently behind him. He waved away the guards, maids, eunuchs, etc. who wanted to follow. , and only took Gao Hai, who was on duty, with him and walked to a deserted place in Zhu Forbidden City.

After a while, Ito Cheng, Bertolia, and Gao Hai arrived outside an empty palace.

"After I leave, go to the palace and tell Faye Mire, Princess Kaguraye and Princess Jiang Lihua about my departure." Ito said to Gao Hai who stopped.

"Yes, Your Majesty." Gao Hai agreed.

At this moment, Ito Cheng suddenly stepped up to Bertolia, stretched his arms around her waist without any explanation, activated teleportation when Bertolia frowned, and disappeared from Gao Hai.

After that, Ito Cheng kept moving and continued to use teleportation to leave the Chinese Empire, cross the endless ocean, and enter the EU Union territory, until finally appearing on the bridge of the Archangel staying somewhere in EU.

"Maru, I'm back." Ito Cheng, who appeared in the bridge, let go of Bertolia and walked towards Maru, who was sitting in the captain's seat leisurely drinking a bottled drink, with a smile on his face. said.

Ma Liu glanced at Ito Cheng coldly and ignored him.

"What's wrong?" Ito Cheng asked softly with a confused look on his face.

"Ito-sama, what's the matter with your visit this time?" Maru didn't answer Ito-sama's inquiry, but just asked in a business-like manner.

Ito Cheng frowned slightly when he saw this, and did not answer Ma Liu's question immediately. Instead, he lowered his head and recalled what he had done in the past two months, trying to see what made Ma Liu so unhappy.

With the efficiency of Ito Cheng's brain, he quickly recalled everything that happened since returning to Lelouch's world, and found two possible reasons for Malu's displeasure.

One is the matter of his own use to bomb the Britannia Legion. After all, Malu, who has deep memories of bloody Valentine's Day, Junius VII, nuclear bombs and Genesis, may not feel comfortable with this matter.

The second reason is because of his wedding. After all, he married so many women, three of whom were from the same Rubik's Cube world as her, but he didn't marry her, which made her feel dissatisfied or because she thought he didn't pay enough attention to her.

However, Ito Cheng's psychological deduction is that the second reason is closer to the truth. After all, Mariu is a soldier, and she is not too disgusted by the use of nuclear bombs to attack. What she really hates is the use of nuclear bombs on civilians, just like the bloody Valentine's Day incident in the Gundam world. As for using it on the enemy, except that it feels a bit excessive and cruel, from the perspective of reducing losses on one's own side, I won't be too angry. At most, a few days of depression will pass, otherwise he will not follow Ito Cheng's orders and continue to cooperate with the Chinese Empire's troops to launch a war against EU.

As for the second thing, just looking at it from the perspective of a woman named Ito is enough to make her feel depressed. And she had a conflict with Ito Cheng, and she was able to hold back the complicated emotions in her heart until now, but Maru has shown enough restraint and love for Ito Cheng...

"I think Natal is very sad and depressed right now." Ito Cheng, who found out the clues to the matter, thought to himself.

"Ma Liu. I haven't forgotten you, and it's not that I don't value you. As for why I didn't marry you here, I will definitely give you a satisfactory answer later." Then he squatted down and reached out to hold the hand that wanted to pull away. Ma Liu put his hands on his hands, looked up into the eyes of Ma Liu, who had a cold face, and said softly with a sincere face.

"Okay. I'll wait for your answer." Ma Liu said in a cold tone.

"I promise, that answer will definitely satisfy you." Ito Cheng took Maru's hands in his hands and brought them to his mouth, kissing them, and said in a serious tone.

Then he held Mariu's left hand with his right hand and stood up from the ground. Looking at the big screen of the Archangel, he said, "Tell people to get ready, let's return!"

Malu, who did not take her hand out of Ito's hand, pressed the button on the armrest with one hand and issued a sailing order to the entire ship.

At the right time, a summons alarm sounded in the ship. All the ship's staff who were resting in the lounge put down what they were doing and returned to their respective posts to get ready.

"Whoa!" At this moment, a soft sound was heard, and Bucky Lulu, who was neatly dressed, and three or four staff members on the ship walked out of the elevator door and quickly returned to their respective posts.

"Archangel, start it!" After all the staff took their seats, Malu ordered with a serious look.

"Archangel, start!" the helmsman Neumann repeated.

After finishing speaking, I saw the six main thrusters and four auxiliary thrusters at the rear of the Archangel ejecting blue flames, pushing the Archangel to slowly rise from the ground and move towards the distance. go.

At this time, Ito Cheng had a thought, and a dark hole that was small at first, but expanded into a huge round hole in an instant appeared at the front of the Archangel, like the open mouth of a giant beast, quietly waiting for the big hole. Angel's self-inflicted trap.

Seeing this, Bertolia's face, which had always been very calm, changed, and she turned to look at the other people in the bridge. After seeing that they all had calm expressions that were not surprised, she calmed down. Surprised, he continued to watch everything silently.

Then the light in the Archangel's bridge first went dark, and then brightened again. A completely different space from the environment just now appeared in the eyes of all the people in the Archangel's bridge.

"You continue to stay in the Archangel and stand by while I handle other matters." Ito Cheng turned to Malu and said.

But at this moment, Ma Liu still had a cold expression and ignored his words.

Ito Cheng didn't say anything when he saw this. He directly activated teleportation and disappeared from the bridge of the Archangel, appearing in the void of the Rubik's Cube world.

"The Rubik's Cube, still does not block the space-time channel of Lelouch's world, and sends me directly back to the world of the strongest disciple in history." Ito Cheng raised his head and ordered to the void, while presenting the time-space channel number corresponding to the world of the strongest disciple in history. in mind.

As the Rubik's Cube information was presented, a stream of light suddenly appeared from the void in the Rubik's Cube world, wrapping around Ito Cheng's body like a ribbon, carrying him into the huge vortex that had been appearing in the void until it finally dissolved. Become a colorful spot of light and disappear completely.

"Crackling..." With a familiar sound of shattering glass, Ito Cheng's figure reappeared in the streets of the world of Kenichi, the strongest disciple in history.

Following Ito Cheng, he took out his mobile phone that could only be used in the strongest world in history, and sent the message "I'm back" to Kugakan Kaname, Nanjo Kisara and Shiratori in a group message.

Then Ito Cheng looked up at the sky and saw that it was already ten minutes after dusk, so he used the group sending mode to send a message to Kugakan Kaname and the other three.

"Meet you at Jisaro's apartment in half an hour."

After sending it, he put away his cell phone and walked unsteadily towards Nanjo Kisaro's apartment.

Although Ito Cheng deliberately slowed down his pace, the location where he appeared was not very far from Nanjo Kisara's apartment, so after ten minutes of dilly-dallying, he still arrived at the door of Nanjo Kisaro's apartment, and then He took out the key, unlocked the door, pushed the door and walked in.

"I'm back." Ito Cheng shouted as he took off his shoes at the entrance.

"Looks like they haven't come back yet." Ito Cheng said to himself after waiting for a few seconds but no one responded. Then he walked into the kitchen, took out various fresh vegetables from the Rubik's Cube World, and started washing them.

"I've been waiting on you for two months with my hands stretched out my hands and my mouth opened for food. I'm really not used to it when I suddenly use a kitchen knife to cook." Ito Cheng, who made two gestures with the kitchen knife in his hand, shook his head slightly and chuckled. road.

"Dang, clang, clang..." The next moment, a series of crisp sounds rang out from the kitchen.

"Gah!" A few minutes later, a soft sound rang out. Nanjo Kisara, who was still wearing a red short-sleeved shirt, jeans with only one leg, and a green top hat, was dressed like a young European aristocratic young man. Shiratori, who looked very masculine in a large windbreaker, and Kaname Kugatori, who was wearing tight-fitting elastic pants, dark blue sweat-absorbent sweatshirts, and an orange long-sleeved coat, walked into the room. .

"You guys are back. Go wash your hands. The food will be ready in a while." Ito said to the three people in Kugakan Kaname as he poked his head out of the kitchen.

Kugakan Kaname, Nanjo Kisaro, and Shiratori looked at each other, and they all obediently moved to the bathroom and started washing their hands. Afterwards, the three people who returned to the living room waited for a while before Ito walked out of the kitchen with the food and greeted the three people to start eating.

During the dinner, Ito Cheng did not immediately say anything about taking them away, but quietly listened to them talk about what happened between them during the two months he was away.

"Are you all ready?". After the meal, after putting away the dishes and chopsticks, Ito Cheng, who was sitting between Nanjo Kisaro and Kugakan Kaname, suddenly spoke.

"Yes." The three people who heard Ito Cheng's words were all silent at first, and then Kugakan Kaname was the first to nod in response. (To be continued. Mobile phone users please go to m.qidian. to read.)
