Chapter 557: Grace
Duke Leo's words made Leo stunned again. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
After you old boy finished loading b for me, you started to talk to me about the conditions?
Leo cursed silently in his heart very unpleasantly, and then suppressed the dissatisfaction in his heart and said: "Her Royal Highness the eldest princess's conditions are very simple, he hopes that you and the twenty-five thousand soldiers under your command will immediately lay down their weapons and surrender to Her Royal Highness the eldest princess. ”
In fact, the word "attached" should be used here in a more gentle and acceptable tone, but Leo was obviously quite dissatisfied with Duke Lian's actions just now, so he naturally had to belittle the other party in his words.
"Surrender?" The corners of Duke Li'an's mouth couldn't help but twitch slightly, since he joined the army at the age of eighteen, there have been hundreds of battles, big and small, and each time the result ended in victory, speaking of the word "surrender" is really the first time that someone dares to bring it up in front of this duke.
But Lord Duke is not stupid, everything he did just now was actually just to provoke Leo, because in Duke Leo's opinion, a person who is provoked is more likely to reveal flaws and unconsciously reveal his thoughts, and Duke Leo did detect a lot of information from Leo's reaction just now.
It's just that having said that, everything is always too much, and once Leo is completely angered, everyone will be scattered, then neither side can get a good deal, and this is not the scene that Duke Lean wants to see.
Therefore, although the Duke was a little unhappy with the word "surrender" that came out of Leo's mouth, he still didn't hear it, but said to Leo: "You should understand that there is no loyalty in this world that comes for no reason. ”
Although this sentence is a little vague, the meaning is still quite obvious.
Unlike Prime Minister Paul, who had no choice, Duke Leanne and the 25,000 Scarlet Knights under his command actually had a choice, you must know that at this moment, the Grand Prince Emmanuel was watching the two people in the mask not far from the mask!
To put it bluntly, at a time when everyone could be the emperor, loyalty was simply a pile of stinky garbage on the side of the road, and people didn't even bother to look at it.
At this time, in the eyes of powerful people like Duke Li'an, who have strength and power, and are waiting for a price between all parties, there is only profit!
If you want Duke Lean and the 25,000 soldiers to change their banners and join the eldest princess, then Leo must give a profit that is tempting enough!
Of course, in this situation, everyone else is secondary, and the most important thing is to convince the Duke in front of him.
When facing Prime Minister Paul, Leo gave the benefit of returning the power that originally belonged to Prime Minister Paul but was later taken away by Edgar to the Prime Minister, thus successfully convincing Prime Minister Paul and allowing the eldest princess to gain the Prime Minister's allegiance.
So when Leo faced Duke Leo, what kind of benefits could he give to impress the duke, who had always held great power and was deeply trusted by the emperor?
Leo didn't make Duke Lean wait too long: "Lord Duke, if you surrender immediately, I can assure you that the Golden Lion Family will still be able to maintain its former glory and status. ”
Duke Li'an's eyebrows were raised slightly, and the expression on his face couldn't tell whether he was happy or angry: "That's it?" ”
"That's right, that's it." Leo nodded very seriously and said, "You should know very well that because your son Cleverley personally assassinated His Majesty Charles XVI, being able to do this is actually a special favor of Her Royal Highness the eldest princess." ”
"Kaien?" Duke Lean's facial muscles twitched again, and this time a mocking smile finally appeared on his face: "What you just said - Kaien? ”
Leo nodded vigorously: "Of course it's Kai'en, the Kai'en of the extra Kai'en." ”
Duke Li'an couldn't help but sneer, and the killing intent in his eyes gradually gathered again: "The Golden Lion Family doesn't need anyone's grace. ”
"Except for the future Emperor His Majesty." Of course, Leo could feel the pressure on his body start to slowly become heavy again, but that didn't stop him from saying the next words: "Do you think that the current Golden Lion Family is still the same as the Golden Lion Family in the past?" Since Cleverley stabbed that sword with his own hands, the golden age belonging to the Golden Lion Family has passed, Honorable Duke. ”
The temperature in the light mask suddenly rose several degrees, not because the sun was out, but because of the anger of Duke Lean.
Duke Leo stared at Leo and said word by word: "As long as I am here, the glory of the Golden Lion Family will never be challenged and slandered in any way!" ”
"Really?" Leo shrugged his shoulders: "Then maybe Lord Duke should learn to face reality." Everyone now knows that the murderer who killed His Majesty Charles XVI with his own hands is from your Golden Lion family, your most proud son, the Cleverley who should have succeeded to the Duke of Leanne after your death! Your Golden Lion Family is the family of executioners who committed the crime of killing kings and committed the heinous crime! ”
Duke Leo's face was clouded and gloomy and almost dripping, but what made the Duke even more angry was that he was powerless to refute what Leo had said, because what Leo said was the truth!
After all, on the day of the celebration, Leo is one of the few parties who, like the Duke, can witness Cleverley's sword killing!
But even though he knew that Duke Lian was already very angry at this moment, Leo didn't have any intention of stopping: "Lord Duke, I think you should know very well what kind of crime the assassination of His Majesty the Emperor is. ”
Of course, the Duke of Leanne knew very well what kind of crime it was.
That's the Zhujiu clan, the whole family will be divided by five horses, the car will be split to death, and the corpse will be thrown to the mass grave to feed the wild dogs!
Leo's words continued: "The Golden Lion Family has been prosperous for three hundred years, and there are definitely not a few enemies that have been provoked openly and secretly, am I right?" The reason why these people, who harbored great hatred for the Golden Lion Family in their hearts, did not make a move was simply because they knew that now was not the time. As long as the new emperor ascends the throne and the political situation of the empire is basically calm, it will be time for them to launch an attack on you and the Golden Lion family! ”
Duke Li'an snorted: "With the loyalty and glory of our Golden Lion Family to the empire for three hundred years as evidence, those beam-jumping clowns can't make any waves at all. ”
"Really?" Leo couldn't help but laugh: "I must say that your words, Lord Duke, are too wishful thinking. Whether it is the eldest princess or the eldest prince, His Majesty Charles XVI is their father! No emperor can afford to be charged with reckless murder of his father, so no matter who eventually ascends the throne, he must strictly investigate the murderer, because he wants to give an account to the people of the Spany Empire in the world! ”
Leo looked at Duke Lean in front of him with a smile: "When that time comes, do you still think that those political enemies who have won the support of His Majesty the Emperor are just a group of clowns?" ”
