Chapter 649: An Origin That Can't Be Selected
"The ambition of the wolf son of Siduoer City, this marriage is just because they can't eat us in one bite, so they proposed a compromise, in the words of your Zhou State, this is called a delaying tactic. After explaining the cause and effect, Princess Hena and Ji Ya said.
"Didn't the princess tell the king?" Ji Ya wondered.
"Of course, I said, but the nobles of Shianna don't want to fight either, and this war will give us the upper hand no matter how the mighty Thor Alliance attacks, which may give my father great confidence that he is qualified to bargain with Thorth. ”
Ji Ya was also silent, after the events of Suran Island, she was no longer ignorant of military and politics, but she was a little disgusted: "Then what is the princess going to do?"
Princess Hena said: "The day after tomorrow, the other party's wedding procession will arrive, I have strongly opposed this marriage, but in exchange for my father's house arrest, even his guards have been forced to disband, now the only way is to get married, I personally killed the king of Sitis. ”
Ji Ya was surprised: "In this way, isn't the princess dead? And the two parties have also formed a mortal enmity? At that time, the situation will be endless." "Assassinating the king in someone else's country, Princess Hena is indeed determined to die.
Hena laughed, "The biggest shortcoming of the king of Stole is that he does not have a good heir...... You know, this is the third time he's married......"
Hena gave Ji Ya a brief introduction, in fact, Sitis, the king of Sidol, cannot be regarded as young, he belongs to the young and middle-aged generation, and his age is just stuck between the princess and her father, it stands to reason that such a hero, the child should have run all over the ground a long time ago, but in fact, although he has children, he is only three young children.
Sitis's first marriage was when he was young, when he had just become the lord of a city and his power was not yet secure, so he married to the great nobles of the local Sidor region. When he was in full control, the queen's family was destroyed, and the queen herself died an unknown death, and the prince they gave birth to died accidentally while hunting.
Citis's second marriage was when he was a young man, when he was leading the rise of the city of Sidor, and his power was not yet strong, so he married a city-state that was slightly stronger than himself, and married the other party's princess, and in the end, not surprisingly, the queen and her mother's city-state were destroyed together, and they gave birth to a princess, but she also drowned when she was young.
Now Thor is strong enough, but Sitis does not have a queen, maybe he has a lot of women, after all, there are too many princesses and concubines who have died all the way, and they have also given birth to two princes and a princess, but they are not very old until now, and the oldest is only six years old.
Princess Hena understands that the reason why Citis has never made a queen is to maximize this benefit, and now she uses it for herself. Marrying the princess with the strongest sense of battle in Xiana home, not only can you get a large amount of dowry, but also disintegrate the main battle force of Xiana from the inside, I am afraid that it will not be long before Princess Hena will follow in the footsteps of the previous two and end up with a dead country and annihilation, Sitis is a hungry wolf who eats people and does not spit out bones.
If she assassinates Sitis herself according to Princess Hena's plan, although the hatred between the two countries will increase, the city of Sidor will be chaotic for a while, and the small city-states oppressed by them will also rebel. By the time the time the forces of all sides are smoothed out, I am afraid that Stor has already lost his vitality. When Sitis was alive, he couldn't defeat the city of Siana, let alone the half-crippled forces at that time.
And the feud between the two parties is not a bad thing for their side, the high-ranking people of Xiana City enjoy the comfort too much, and there is such a vicious wolf with a blood feud peeking outside, even if it is forced, they will fight it mentally. With the heritage and trade of the city of Xiana, as long as the ruler's head is not pumped, the country is as stable as a sacred mountain.
Seeing Princess Hena break her heart for her country, even at the cost of sacrificing her life, Ji Ya's heart was also touched, so she offered to help Princess Hena kill Sidis.
Princess Hena said: "No, in this war, the Zhou people can assist but cannot participate, you must know that the kingdom here is protected by the gods, although everyone is killed, but in fact it is also an internal strife, if you Zhou people participate, not only the enemy will fight back, even our allies will be unhappy, if the gods make a move, I'm afraid things will be more troublesome." ”
Only then did Ji Ya remember that Lin Yue had talked to him before that the gods of the Sea of the Two Moons were a group of powerful monks, so powerful that even he was afraid of them. Ji Ya vaguely remembered how the sea god here attacked the fleet when she was outside of the Two Moons, if it weren't for the Qidiao Ling's Zhuxian sword, I'm afraid that even the master would have died here.
I can't make a move, Hena can only choose the way to find death, Ji Ya is very uncomfortable, but Princess Hena is very open-minded: "People are born to die, it is my honor to die for the country, and it is also the responsibility of a princess, but unfortunately Xueying didn't come over this time, I still have a lot of things to explain to her, so let's wait for me, I'll write a letter to her." ”
Ji Ya knew that this was the last time Hena had contact with Kou Xueying from the Craftsman's Gate, and these two confidants, who were thousands of miles apart, might never see each other again. The next time Kou Xueying came to the Sea of Two Moons with the fleet, Princess Hena would probably have turned into a pile of bones.
......
After returning from the palace, Ji Ya's heart could not be calm for a long time, and at night she leaned against the window, looking at the sparkling sea in the moonlight, thinking about Prince Sauron of Suran Island and Princess Hena here.
They are all the same people, they have suffered betrayal and suffering, leaving wounds and torture on their bodies, today when they were in the palace, Ji Ya found that Princess Hena was injured in many places, and in the previous defense of Xiana, Princess Hena, as the main battle faction, led her guards to rush to the forefront, leaving the legend of the Xiana Valkyrie on the battlefield. It is precisely because of this that Princess Hena concludes that the marriage proposed by King Sitis of Thor is ill-intentioned, he is a person who wants to control everything by himself, and the consequence of Princess Herna's marriage is only a dead end.
Even so, fighting to the last moment for the sake of the country Prince Sauron, Princess Hena also decided to die for the country, although they have a happy ending and a tragic hero, but they are both worthy of the status of prince and princess.
Thinking of this, Ji Ya began to slowly become her other identity, she is also a princess! At the moment when the royal family was in decline, she took away the cultivation of the eldest brother and fled from the royal family, and when the country was in turmoil, she crossed the sea to escape there.
Is Da Zhou his motherland, or is Sulan Island his hometown? Ji Ya couldn't tell, even Master Lin Yue deliberately avoided Ji Ya's identity along the way, as if he didn't want her to think of it. Thinking of the indifference of the palace, thinking of the embarrassment of being an interracial half-race princess, remembering that the eldest prince sacrificed his cultivation, Ji Ya's mother cut off her life, just so that the blonde princess could live freely.
But can she really live like this? To be honest, Ji Ya doesn't owe anything to the Great Zhou Dynasty, although she grew up in the palace, she doesn't enjoy the honor of a princess, she can't choose her origin, and she doesn't get more because of it, so why should she pay for it?
But thinking back to Prince Sauron and Princess Hena, although they were supported by this country, do they have to pay it back with their lives? On this question, Ji Ya hesitated, she didn't know what choice to make, and the Great Zhou Dynasty was full of talents, what skills did she have? A powerful cultivation? There were too many in the Great Zhou Dynasty, and there was no shortage of a mixed-race princess like herself to worry about the country and the people.
Ji Ya seemed to be persuaded by herself, but she still tossed and turned that night and couldn't sleep.
On the morning of the second day, the messenger of the city of Sidol arrived with a large number of gifts, and tomorrow will be the day when the king of Sidor will welcome him, and then he will come in person, and today is just to come to the front station, looking at the boxes of treasures, the high-level people of Siana are also very happy, I thought that the poor country of Sidol could not get anything good, but I didn't expect that there were quite a lot of things, and I couldn't count them for a moment and a half, so that it was not so difficult to accept the large amount of dowry proposed by Sidol City. Tomorrow the king of the other party is coming, and today I have to finalize a lot of details with the envoy, and these gifts will be put into the warehouse first, and then slowly counted.
The whole city of Xiana was immersed in a joyful atmosphere, with people drinking wine and jumping with joy. Princess Hena watched the sea of people from the tower, which included both the soldiers and civilians of Xiana, as well as representatives of other city-states who had come to form alliances before, as well as some neutral forces, including the merchants of the Great Zhou.
During the war, people hid behind the wall, and it was Princess Hena who led the charge to protect them, and now the clouds of war have dissipated, and it is precisely because they sold the princess who protected them in exchange.
Although Ji Ya was in the crowd, she was not infected by the cheerful atmosphere, she knew that the more joyful the people here, the irony was that the more unfair it was to Princess Hena. I am afraid that even if she dies in the future, Princess Hena will not have a good reputation, because she assassinated the king of Sidor, and she will be spit on forever for provoking war with her own selfish desires. People do not see the ambition of Sitis, the king of Sidhor, nor the status quo of Siana being rich but weak, and Sidol being strong but poor, and they do not believe in the inevitability of war between the two sides, but only blame the executor who provoked the war.
The city of Sidor is not afraid, they will find a way to marry the Valkyrie of the city of Sianna, maybe without the assassination of Princess Hena, they will casually kill the Valkyrie on the same charge, and start the war again. Maybe it will be delayed for a few years, or it may be done immediately, but for the result, Princess Hena, or Ji Ya are convinced.
