CHAPTER XXV. VI
Kadir was half-lying on the mat and looked at his brother. Although he longed to break his body into thousands of pieces to vent the hatred in his heart, a kind smile still appeared on his face and asked His Royal Highness to sit down.
Ai Youka's actions were courteous, and after taking his seat, he spoke: "Your Majesty suddenly summoned his courtiers, there must be something important. ”
Kadir nodded and said, "That's true, this matter can be said to be very important. This time, our army fought a big defeat, presumably Brother Wang also heard about it, right? ”
"My brother has heard about it, it's really an unfortunate thing."
"After this battle, our infantry suffered great losses, and it will take some time to rebuild the army. Now with the threat of Arubania in the north and the thief army of Diles in the south, our country is caught in the middle and faces the dilemma of insufficient troops. During this period, our country will not be able to launch an active offensive. If we want to open up this situation, we need to start in other areas to save us from strategic decline. ”
"Brother Wang is far-sighted, not beyond the reach of a foolish brother."
"Brother Wang doesn't have to be too humble, this plan of mine would never have been possible without Brother Wang's assistance. So I made a special trip to invite Brother Wang to come here, just to ask Brother Wang for your help. ”
Aiyuka didn't know how to answer for a while, and the alarm bell in his heart rang quickly, is this a conspiracy? Kadir has never entrusted himself with anything, for fear that he will accumulate prestige and merit and cause a threat, but today he suddenly put down his body and took the initiative to ask for his help, there must be an article in this. Should I say yes? What would happen if you agreed without knowing what to do?
Seeing Aiyuka's hesitation, Kadir said, "Brother Wang, don't you want to help your brother?" ”
"No, Your Majesty." Ai Youka hurriedly stood up and covered up: "The younger brother is ignorant and cannot know His Majesty's holy judgment. rashly agreed to His Majesty's words, I am afraid that I will not be able to do it. Failed to live up to His Majesty's high expectations. ”
"Hehe, Brother Wang is too worried. Others can't do this, and I'm afraid you're the only one in the country who can do it. ”
"The younger brother would like to hear about it."
Kadir stared at Aiyuka and said slowly: "You should know that in the south of the Tyres, there is also the Duchy of Palci that is subject to our country, although we have little contact with them, but after all, it is also our vassal. Arul, the prince of Palchi, must be almost fifty years old this year, and he currently has only one son, Bud, but I heard that this son is still frail and sickly when he is nearly thirty years old. It is estimated that the prince will most likely die before Arul, and if that were the case, the only heir to Palci would be the young princess, Afrit. If our country can marry Palci, the son-in-law of Palchi will be equivalent to the heir of the principality of Palci, and after this relationship, our country can send troops with Palci to fight the thief army of Dils in the north and south. ”
"Your Majesty means that I should marry Princess Alfrette of Palchi?"
Kadir nodded, "Exactly. Originally, it would have been more appropriate for me to marry, but now that the two countries have been blocked by the thief army, it is not the king's ability to go through the barrier of the thief army to marry the princess. Brother Wang, your martial arts are strong for all to see. And you're younger and more handsome than I am, so you should be more pleasing to Elul. ”
Aiyuka cursed in his heart: It turned out that he had summoned me to throw me such a dangerous mission, and if I was discovered by the thieves, I would die in the mountains of Dils. I'm afraid that's exactly what you mean, if I'm lucky enough to succeed, it's Kadir who really benefits. From then on I became Palci's colt. The successor is the remote mountain country of Parci, so naturally it will not be able to continue to compete for the throne of Yaqui. It's a beautiful thought.
Thinking of this, Ai Youka deliberately showed an embarrassed expression and said, "Your Majesty's idea is certainly very good. But the younger brother already has six wives and concubines, so the princess is probably unwilling to be a side concubine. ”
"What you said is a brother, you have already thought of it. Since you're heading to the Duchy of Palci, you won't be able to get your wife and concubine in Arki to stop you. You might as well go and marry Alfrette as a wife. After we get rid of the thief army, Brother Wei will naturally come forward to help you mediate family affairs, and by then Alfrette will already be your person, are you still afraid that she will regret it? Don't worry, after you leave, your wives and concubines and children will be taken care of as brothers, and they will be arranged in the palace courtyard before we exterminate the thieves and reunite. ”
Aiyuka's head buzzed. Kadir has made it clear that he wants to take his family hostage and force him to successfully complete this mission.
Seeing the look on Ai Yuka's face, Kadir smiled secretly in his heart, and opened his mouth to add: "Ai Youka, this mission is related to the rise and fall of the country, I hope you can shoulder the mission of the royal family, and join forces with Brother Wei to eliminate those traitors, this is also a good time for you to make contributions and prove your own worth." ”
Aiyuka was anxious, and when he heard Kadir's words, he clearly wanted to force himself to agree, and he really wanted to strangle him to death. But it was surrounded by the King's bodyguard, and the ghostly Brudasmo. After years of spending time with Shagora, Eyuka naturally knew how terrifying the Shadow Brotherhood's assassination techniques were, and even if he was a skilled martial artist, it was difficult to guard against poison-hardening weapons fired from the shadows. However, after thinking about it, Aiyuka felt that although he had been driven out of the shelves by Kadir, it was difficult to get rid of it, but if this matter was really done by him, then first of all, Palci's power would undoubtedly fall into his hands, and after exterminating the thief army in the Dils Mountains, Kadir would need to give Palchi and his considerable territory anyway, and he could also show what he had learned all his life, and he would definitely be able to establish a higher prestige among Yaqui's generals. And after he can have the strength of a principality, it is actually better than being constrained by Kadir everywhere than now. Moreover, sooner or later, the problem of Kadir's heir will be exposed, and he can get rid of suspicion if he is not in Yaki's country, and no matter which of his brothers wants to succeed to the throne, he will be the only strong contender with the support of foreign military forces, and with his own strength and prestige, Yaji's throne is not insulated from himself. Crises coexist with opportunities, and if you can use them well, you can make a good game of dead chess! Thinking of this, Ai Youka knelt down on one knee and saluted: "Since Your Majesty has high hopes for your younger brother, then your younger brother should do his best to live up to Your Majesty's trust!" When does Your Majesty plan to let your courtiers leave? ”
"The sooner the better."
"Then without further ado, please go back to the house and make some arrangements, and then arrange to leave." Aiyuka said goodbye and quit the palace.
Outside the palace, Ayuka breathed a sigh of relief: there was no way back, either to complete this mission and seize everything he wanted, or to lose everything he had worked so hard to manage. This is not bad, the royal family should have this kind of spirit of breaking the kettle, otherwise how can they win the world?
Aiyuka glanced up at the sky, then walked ahead in high spirits. (To be continued......)
