The scope of imperial power is within ten steps, and the first thing the leader of any regime needs to do is to protect his own safety and not be bullied by the enemy to assassinate him.

People die like a lamp extinguishing. No matter how good the power is, what is the point of enjoying it without life?

The pope also understood this principle. The defense around him was extremely strict. Many great nobles sent people to assassinate him but failed. Why are you little guys so confident?

Cao Sheng was anxious when he heard this and hurriedly said, "I have to go there. I will never accept going back if I don't try it."

Zhao Yun frowned and thought for a long time before saying, "Then plan it well, but Your Highness, you have to obey my arrangements for this matter, otherwise I will have to obey the prince's orders and knock you out and put it in a macaque and carry it back."

Cao Sheng: "..." He was absolutely familiar with this when he knocked on sticks and put on a bun.

Cao Zhang was anxious and said, "Zilong, you are crazy."

Zhao Yun shook his head at him and signaled not to say much.

The dragon gives birth to dragon and phoenix gives birth to phoenix. The mouse’s son can dig holes. Zhao Yun knows Cao Sheng’s personality too well. This kid goes crazy and looks like his father. He doesn’t want to be thrown to the ground by Cao Ang’s bag of sweat-covered medicine like Xu Chu back then.

Since Cao Sheng was determined to assassinate the Pope, let him try it. I dare not say anything else. Zhao Yun still has the ability to lead him out of the siege after failure.

Cao Sheng narrowed his eyes and struggled for a long time before saying, "Okay, I'll listen to you. Let's go buy a dress first and prepare for tonight's cocktail party."

Zhao Yun did not say much and followed him out and left.

The Pope is about to give a speech in Rile, and almost all the people and merchants around come in. Now, not only are there many people and goods in Rile City, but also a lot of goods. Not long after, Cao Sheng bought a satisfactory dress and took Deng Ai and Zhao Yun to Charles. Cao Chong and others took Cao Zhang back to meet with Elby. As for Cao Zhang's origin, there are people everywhere in the city now, so they can fool them if they find a reason.

Charles was also preparing for the cocktail party tonight and was very busy.

Cao Sheng found someone in a tavern with the contact information he left in advance.

Walking into the private room where Charles is, Cao Sheng took the initiative to greet him, handed over a huge purse and smiled: "Bissar, the goods have been put into storage. This is the income today, take a look."

Charles opened the purse and saw that his eyes instantly turned into greedy red. The silver coins in the purse were 1,800, and there were a few gold coins mixed with them. This was his salary for several years. He asked in surprise: "How did you do it so quickly?"

Cao Sheng explained the bribery in detail, and then said: "Today I just deliberately set obstacles for those businessmen to find some trouble and push them to the agent I selected. Next time we just negotiate with the agent directly. If the incident broke one day, we just need to turn the agent..." At this point, Cao Sheng paused, raised his palm and cut it down hard, and made a neck wiping action and said: "This kind of thing focuses on evidence, and the evidence is linked bit by bit. Eliminate the agent and cut the agent in half. Who can do anything without evidence?"

My father said that if you do whatever you have, you should never do anything beyond your identity if you want to live in peace and long-term relationship. He is now Charles' secretary and can do anything under the name of Charles, but you can't do things that deceive or harm Charles, so that Charles has doubts about himself, so that they can continue to cooperate in close cooperation.

I didn't care before, but now I realize that what my father said is simply a famous saying in dealing with people.

Charles was not a fool either. He quickly figured out the trick, put away his wallet and smiled, "Selma, you are simply a lucky star sent by God, but I am still worried about one thing, what if the agent doesn't cooperate, if he sues us, he will sue us."

Cao Sheng sneered: "He dared not. He would die if he sued us. He was all grasshoppers on a rope. No one could live happily if he left. Agents were just our tools. If they were not easy to replace them, it would be too profitable. Some merchants rushed to cooperate. We just need to handle the matter cleanly when the finishing is finished and not leave any handle."

Charles felt relieved and looked at Zhao Yun and Deng Ai behind him and said, "What are these two?"

Cao Sheng introduced: "Yunsen and Aili are both slaves who fled to Rile. From now on, they are indispensable for running errands. I spent money to hire them. Don't worry, they have sworn to me in the name of God and can trust them."

Charles nodded without doubting him and said, "Just decide."

It’s not that Charles is so heartless, but that God’s prestige is too high. In Rome, the oath made in God’s name is more convincing than any vower.

After passing the test, all three of them breathed a sigh of relief.

Cao Sheng adjusted his mood and began to discuss the party tonight with Charles. Soon he found out indirectly about the list of people attending the party, who were there, what position they held in the Holy See, what personality and preferences they like.

With these information, the cocktail party tonight should be much smoother.

Time flies, and it is soon evening.

Charles and Cao Sheng rushed to the venue in their dresses.

As expected, the venue for the cocktail party was indeed in the county government office. The two went there a little late. When they arrived, they found that there were crowds of people at the county government office and traffic. Countless nobles were coming here, either by car or riding horse.

In Rome, the divine power has surpassed the imperial power and regained its dominance. Although the people in power have changed, the arrogance in the bones of the Roman nobles has not changed. Each servant has brought a lot of servants and guards, as if they are afraid that someone will assassinate them.

In comparison, they brought relatively few people. Charles only brought five servants, while Cao Sheng brought Deng Ai and Zhao Yun.

Not all cats and dogs can come to the Pope's cocktail party. Naturally, someone checked at the door. Charles took the initiative to come forward and handed the invitation to verify his identity, and took Cao Sheng to the compound successfully.

After entering, Cao Sheng and the other two were stunned. They thought that the county government in Rile had already been dilapidated, but they didn't expect that there was a different world inside. The trees and flowers in the yard were carefully trimmed, and they looked particularly neat and pleasant. The ground was covered with red carpets, and even the garden had carpets. It was so comfortable to step on it. There were many tripods on both sides of the road, all of which were copper. Braziers were installed on the tripods, and the flames burned, making the yard shine brightly as bright as daytime.

In addition, there are several large long tables similar to conference tables in the garden, filled with food and wine.

The food made by the Romans certainly didn't taste very good, but it looked quite like that.

The guests had arrived almost the same, and they were chatting in groups of three or five, while countless servants were carrying trays to shuttle back and forth among the crowd.

A servant passed by, Cao Sheng took a goblet with red wine from the tray like Charles, and laughed in a low voice: "Bissary, I didn't expect the Holy See to be so rich. I thought the Holy See had just been established and the finances were tight. Since that's the case, we have the obligation to spend some for him."

Charles smiled and said, "No matter how tight the finances are, you cannot neglect the Pope's crown and the Archbishops, not to mention that the Holy See is much richer than you think."
