The Demon King Chapter 20: Return to Washington

. His head was still a little drowsy. Chen Tian got up and washed up and changed his clothes with the help of his servants. Now he thought, this gray military uniform would still help him with his safety. If he liked to wear white or bright red that was completely different from others, and a hat that certainly looked like a cockscomb, the sniper last night might not have missed it.

Chen Tian was no longer in the mood to be glad. After that, he had a meal in the room and listened to the report of the attendant. Everything was as usual, but there was a familiar figure missing beside him.

After listening to Jonalet's report, Chen Tian learned that the endgame last night was finally cleaned up. In addition to a few injured people in the German delegation, the government officials and generals who accompanied him recovered from the disturbance after a night of rest. However, although people didn't say anything, there was always a strange atmosphere among everyone.

Because of such a bad incident, Chen Tian decided to cancel all the reservations for this talent. After everyone simply used breakfast, they drove to the airship stop in the western suburbs under the escort of the guards several times that of the time they arrived.

New York, the capital of freedom and prosperity, only left an extremely bad impression in the minds of Chen Tian and others - the hustle and bustle here are more like coins in a stinking ditch at this time, and no one is willing to pick it up again.

Compared to when we came, everyone's movements became much faster when they boarded the airship again, and everyone seemed to be eager to leave this place of trouble as soon as possible. In addition to the previous American airships that had sailed, there were twelve yellow-painted biplanes parked on the flat grass. After the huge airships flew one by one, they also took off one after another and hovered back and forth near the airship formation.

Chen Tian was no longer in the mood to observe the escort planes sent by the US government, but he still asked the accompanying staff to record the appearance and general performance of those planes.

Because it was a good wind, Chen Tian and his party returned to Washington four hours later. The high-rise buildings here are indeed far from New York, but the orderly streets and open space here make people feel comfortable. However, at this time, the US government has strengthened the security and alert work here, and small groups of soldiers can be seen everywhere on the street, which somewhat creates the illusion that war is approaching.

Chen Tian and his party did not return to the Capital Hotel where they were staying. According to the strong request of the German diplomatic department, the US government arranged a more ideal and reliable place for the German Navy delegation - a villa located on the west bank of the Potomac River and across the river from the Lincoln Memorial Hall. This area is the villa area of ​​the rich man in Washington, and the mansion that Chen Tian and his party moved into belonged to an American industrial tycoon with a billionaire. Chen Tian later learned that the rich man provided the villa to the government for free was just a different kind of "political donation". Surprised, he could only sigh at the enthusiasm and sensitivity of American businessmen to participate in politics.

This villa, which looks very luxurious outside, has an interior decoration that is comparable to a small royal palace, so when the receptionist asked Chen Tian if it was intended, Chen Tian only needs to pay attention to the safety situation around him.

"You can rest assured that our government has sent 200 policemen and more than 1,000 soldiers to work day and night in this area. The bridges to the city are also strictly controlled. Until the end of the naval meeting, outsiders will be restricted from entering this area! In addition, the military will also send three airships and a fighter squadron to patrol nearby airspace to ensure the safety and work here without any accidents!" The American official proudly introduced to Chentian that this expression reminded Chentian of the rusty tour guide when visiting the Statue of Liberty.

Chen Tian had heard the word "Soul-free..." many times before, but something angry happened. He reluctantly agreed to live here for the time being, but he had to transfer 30 German soldiers from the German Embassy in Washington to strengthen the security work, and he would no longer visit anywhere before the International Naval Conference was held.

The Americans had no choice but to agree.

After that, Chen Tian urgently recalled Hoffman and his party who were about to leave Boston and go to other parties for military visits. Of course, this was for security reasons. Although Hoffman himself was a little regretful, he had gained a lot in the first few days, so after receiving the order, he immediately took his officers back to Washington under the escort of the US military.

Northow, the British man who had almost killed the German emperor the night before, stayed in the cellar of a small wooden house with depression today. There were a few wine bottles next to him, and the air around him was filled with a strong and pungent smell of wine.

When the cover on the other side of the stairs was opened, Northow was too lazy to get his pistol.

The visitor was Sino, who was still carrying a basket of food when he came down.

"Hey! Northwo, are you crazy? You're drunk in broad daylight! Do you know that there are countless policemen and soldiers outside searching for you, but you don't even have a little basic alert!" Xino wrinkled his nose and picked up an empty wine bottle. Half a day ago, there was still a bottle of strong wine inside. "God, do you want everyone to smell the wine here?"

"Don't disturb me! I'm committing suicide with alcohol!" Northow said drunkenly, his tongue getting knotted.

"Suicide? You are a great hero in Britain after all!" Cino said as he lifted the cloth on the basket, which contained fragrant bread and some grilled sausages, but Northow didn't even look at it.

"Are you hungry?" Xino picked up an oval bread and shook it in front of Northwo, but he raised his right hand and waved Xino's hand away.

"Although the assassination has not been successful, there is no need to be so decadent!" Xino didn't understand the strange behavior of the guy in front of him, because Northow is usually a very optimistic and likes to joke, but in just one night, he seemed to have changed his body, plus his stubborn stubborn face. He was a frustrated poor man.

Northow responded to Cino's question with a hiccup.

The strong smell of wine made Cino feel unhappy. He pulled Northower up and looked at the drunkard's eyes fiercely. Northower's godless eyes desperately tried to escape.

"Wake up, you big bastard!" Xino pushed him to the ground, but he just struggled to pick up the bottle of wine beside him, which seemed to have become his only spiritual sustenance now.

Xino sighed and left disappointed.

Only Northwo himself knew what happened last night. After Cino left the cellar, Northwo, who was lying on the ground, began to whimper.

"I'm so scared! Katz, Martin..."

If you have a choice, Northwol would rather not be a hero than let his companions die for him.

After leaving the cabin, Cinoth thought about it and could not understand the strange behavior of Northwodi, and then he thought of the "doctor".

Half an hour later, Xino stood in front of the cold face.

"Do you know what Northwo is doing now? I never expected him to..."

"I know!" The doctor interrupted Sino, "He was very disappointing to me!"

"Kez is dead, Martin is dead, and now Northwoo seems to have lost his soul. Why is our actions like this?" As he said that, Cino couldn't control his emotions anymore.

"Are you questioning this action? Or questioning my decision?" The "Doctor" asked two questions suddenly.

"I..." Xino was speechless for a moment.

The "Doctor" did not seem to blame Xipiao Astronomy's exclusive text version for the first release. It is not allowed to be reproduced without permission and excerpted. For more latest and fastest chapters, please visit www.piaotian.com! The doubt in Xino's heart turned into a clueless ball of yarn because of the "Doctor"'s "disturbance" just now. Since he didn't know where to start, he simply echoed: "Yes, maybe this is the arrangement of fate!"

"Fate? Humph! He's just lucky!" The doctor had a vicious expression.

Xino was about to walk out the door. The "doctor" suddenly called him.

"By the way. Go back and pack your luggage, we'll set off tonight!"

"Start? Where to go?" Xino asked instinctively.

"Japan!" The doctor answered him concisely.

"Japan?" Xino's head suddenly became blank. The word "Japanese" was too far away for him.

"A boat will come to the dock tonight to pick us up. Don't tell anyone about this before boarding the boat. Remember! No matter who asks, you can't tell me, do you understand?" The "doctor" reminded me very carefully.

"Okay!" Xino responded, but his mind was filled with huge questions. When he went to visit Northower in the cellar in the afternoon, he found that there was no one there, only the smell of strong wine in the air.

Chen Tian spent the whole afternoon in silence.

An hour after lunch, he read the German-US secret treaty of Washington signed at the White House this morning and some documents sent from the country. He was very satisfied with the results of the diplomats. This secret treaty included all his requests and improved some of the details. What made him most happy was that this meant that the door to America had been opened to Germany.

In contrast, domestic documents are somewhat painless. Only one of them is a request for investment in the establishment of large metallurgical factories in Africa. This report originally only needs to be approved by the Ministry of Industry and the Cabinet, but this time, since it involves mining minerals in multiple locations, the investment in funds and manpower is much higher than before. Overall, it is a plan report on Germany's development of African minerals in the next ten years. Therefore, it was sent from Berlin through a secret telegram and then converted from Chentian's communications officer into a plain text and finally delivered to Chentian himself.

After tossing and turning several times, Chen Tian was still unable to get involved, just put it aside and then watch it later.

For a while, Chen Tian thought about the past, present and future, and occasionally sat there in a daze without thinking about anything.

Lisa came at about 4 o'clock. She saw Chen Tian was worried, so she invited him to take a walk in the garden behind.

"Go and have some fresh air and see the sun by the way. I think I will feel better then!" Lisa said with concern.

Although he would rather stay alone in the room, Chen Tian thought that Lisa’s words made sense, so he got up and walked out with her.

As they walked through the corridors and halls, the attendants were reorganizing the furnishings, and several maids with flowers in their hands happened to walk in from outside.

"Although it's winter, there are still a lot of flowers in the garden behind, so I asked them to pick some and put them in the house!" Lisa explained.

Although Chentian doesn’t know what kind of flowers they are, some may just be small wild flowers that grow naturally, they feel that they can make people feel a tenacious vitality. In such cold weather, they are still in full bloom.

"Don't think there are only snowflakes in winter!" Lisa said as she brought a small bouquet of flowers from a maid. "Look, the petals are a kind of camellia! This orange-red one is called Clivia, native to Africa, and now they can be seen on all continents of the world!"

Chen Tian didn't know what to say, but he was an absolute "flower fool". Apart from being able to distinguish roses and roses, and knowing what lilies and narcissus are simple knowledge, he had no idea about the types of flowers.

As a result, Chentian became a little interested in the place where flowers bloom in winter. He and Lisa quickly walked to the back of the villa, and before they even left, they saw a garden full of plants like a flowerbed.

"It's true that it's a rich family!" Chen Tian thought to himself that although the area of ​​this garden is not large, it is decorated very uniquely, with flowers, plants and trees specially planted, as well as wild flowers and plants growing silently. Although Christmas is approaching, it is as vibrant as spring.

Compared with Lisa, who is focused on the beautiful scenery, Chen Tian turned his attention further. The garden is open, with only a small fence around it. There is a gravel path outside the fence. There is a fir forest about 300 meters away. Some of the fir trees there have been very tall, which is just right for making Christmas trees. If there are no sentinels walking back and forth, this place will be a beautiful pastoral area.

Thinking of Christmas, Chen Tian missed the big Christmas tree full of colorful sticks and gifts at home when he was a child, and the beautiful white snow in eastern Germany. It will also snow in the United States during Christmas, and the snow is equally white, but Chen Tian still hopes to return to his home early to spend the beautiful Christmas with his family.

Now there is still half a month left before Christmas this year, and what is blocking Chentian is the negotiating table and the vast ocean.

Chentian and Lisa were walking around this peaceful garden until late at night Hoffman and his army delegation returned from Boston.

After seeing Chen Tian, ​​Hoffman's first words were: "Thank God, I finally saw you! Your Majesty, do you know how worried I am!"

This statement seems familiar, but what remains unchanged is the sincere friendship.
