Chapter 508: [Give You a Chance]
In front of the Doge's residence of the Cambyses family, Salak meets his fabled sister for the first time.
For this younger sister, who is half of Greek blood, Salak is like a lot of bad brothers who are full of love~sister feelings, and has had all kinds of dreamy dreams. On a sunny morning, a beautiful sister with long blonde or brown hair came out of a place not much stronger than the slums, looking at him with her full breasts and tears on her face, waiting for the lion king's favor like a lamb; Salak had the privilege of having traveled to Africa with his father, and had seen majestic lion kings and well-behaved lionesses, and he worshipped such animals, and the people of Lydia would not have known that their benevolent governor had the heart of a lion king, but was just waiting for the right opportunity.
The name of the younger sister has long been passed into the ears of Sarak, just like the Lydians say that Mogina is young, beautiful, graceful, generous, and has the unique style and charm of a Greek woman. Under the gaze of her big blue eyes, Sarak's heart raced, he lowered his head and took a deep breath, turned his head to look at his mother, only to find that his mother Sarah's eyes were just as surprised.
This 'sin ~ species' is more beautiful and powerful than she imagined, glancing at Mu Xijing and Nie Zhu standing behind Mojina, Sara immediately made the most correct decision, she stretched out her arms and called out affectionately: "Mojina, my baby! I can rest assured to see that you are safe and sound, but Mother still blames you, Lydia is your hometown, and the Doge's residence is your home. Why stay in a hotel when you're back in Lydia? This will mislead many people. I thought that this family could not accommodate the most precious daughter of the Cambyses family."
"Mother!"
He was gently pushed by Mu Xijing with his elbow. Mogina held back the nausea in her heart, as if the breasted swallow had plunged into Sarah's arms. She was such a good actress, and when she hugged Sara, she burst into tears, peeking to find that her half-brother, whom she had never met, was looking at her with a smile, and the 'great' mother was crying more fiercely than herself, and the tears were strung together and dripping down her towering breasts, and Mogina secretly looked at Sarah's chest. If you find that there is nothing to say, there must be a deception in it!
Sarak is actually very much in line with Mogina's opinion, there must be fraud in her mother, who is almost fifty years old, but there is real in her beautiful sister, which makes the benevolent and wise Lord Sarak become short of breath; Compared with the charming sister, blood relationship is nothing at all, in Greece, Rome, and Persia, there is no god-like Zhou Gongdan ritual to make music, let alone half-brothers and sisters, even real brothers and sisters can often happen that kind of thing, and once it is publicized, it will be rumored to be a beautiful talk. (This is history.) It's not light and dark nonsense, please be discerning)
Under Nie Zhu's vicious gaze, Salak tore off a roast leg of lamb for Mogina with his own hands. This can be regarded as a brother making vegetables for his sister, even a murderer like Nie Zhu can't find a reason, but then people can't look at it directly, why do you put too much sugar in the good vanilla goat milk? And he stretched out his index finger and stirred it in the milk several times before serving it to Mo Jina, Nie Zhu and Mo Ji Na were going to vomit, this thing was clearly using the right hand!
Mogina took the cup, held back her disgust and glanced at her brother Sarak, who was full of anticipation, and then desperately diverted the topic: "Oh, I'm not thirsty. My brother, you should know that Mogina wants to be a beautiful white gull flying over the Aegean Sea and not a golden bird in captivity, why did you let Mr. Mubatik come to me? I'm afraid there is no point in doing so."
"Oh, my dear sister."
Since Mogina mentioned business, Salak could only temporarily suppress his careful thoughts, and glanced at the chief butler Mubatik, only to see that the father's most trusted confidant was shaking his head slightly at him; Mubatik was not a subordinate, but a powerful man who had won the trust of Cambyses for two generations, a man of astute and deep wisdom, and even Sara had to listen to him at some point.
"My little princess, the Cambyses family needs you"
Sara actually understands Mubatik's plan very well, but she really can't hold her breath, Sunak, who is leading the Lydian army to fight the rebels on the Aegean coast, is her own brother, as early as three days ago, her most beloved brother sent someone to urge military funds, the content of the parchment letter makes people cry when they mention it, and now the regular army of Lydia is simply hungry and called Hanako, and the weapons used are all tattered things, even inferior to those Greek rebels. If this situation cannot be changed, I am afraid that those fierce Greeks will soon enter the satrapy of the Cambyses, and these Greeks who clamor for 'civil rights' and advocate 'democracy' all day long will not leave any face for the Persian nobles, regardless of whether you have royal blood or not.
Now Kodoman can't be counted on, the frequently victorious Kodoman has already led his immortal army to kill the Mulgab River, the battle line is extremely long, it is a dream to expect him to turn around and come to the aid of Lydia, not to mention that the relationship between the Cambyses family and the royal family is very delicate, even when it comes to life and death, they do not want to ask for the king's help.
"Hehehehe"
Without waiting for Mogina to speak, Mu Xijing smiled and spoke, with Mubatik of special status in front, he, the great butler who was relied on by Miss Mogina, was also qualified to attend, and now it seems that he is even more arrogant than Mubartik, and he dares to interject: "Why does Lady Sara speak so emotionally? If Mu Xijing didn't guess wrong, what the terrifying Cambyses family needed was not Miss, but the huge wealth brought by Miss, right? ”
"You"
Sarak and Sara both changed their faces, this Chinese butler was really rude, after all, the butler was a slave, even with Mubatik's status in the Cambyses family, he didn't dare to intervene at this time; However, thinking of Mogina's experience with Huaxia and her bizarre wealth, Salak and Sara only glanced at each other but didn't say anything.
"When you have enough to eat, mother and brother, I want to look around the mansion, and let Mr. Mubatik accompany me. By the way, I can talk to the butler about any kind of help the family needs, and he can make decisions for me."
Mogina wiped her mouth clean, and stood up with a chuckle without waiting for Sarak and Sara to answer, she still remembered the tragic lesson that Huaxia Baizi gave her, and now she was proud, but she knew that this time she came to Lydia to be mainly Mu Xijing, she, the young lady of the Cambyses family, was a signboard, no matter how greedy she was for power, she also knew that she still had to be obedient at this time, Mu Xijing was different from Nie Zhu, Nie Zhu's fierce guy only had tenderness and care in front of her, but Mu Xijing smiled like a silver fox, No one knew what he really had in mind.
Mu Xijing is a person who doesn't like nonsense, even in front of Bai Dong, glanced at Sarah's mother and son, and said with a smile: "Your Excellency the Governor, Lady Sarah, I heard that there are 20,000 Greek rebels wandering the Aegean coast, and one thousand of them are brave and warlike Spartan warriors, each of them can give their lives for civil power and democracy at any time, I wonder how many troops can Lydia send to quell the rebellion in the face of such an enemy?" ”
"The Cambyses family is the strongest nobleman in Persia, we can send an army of 100,000!" Sara blurted out without even thinking about it.
"Oh, really?"
Mu Xijing didn't pay attention to her, just turned his head to look at Salak, his eyes full of smiles.
"The Cambyses family had an army of 100,000 in its heyday, and now it is still possible to send an army of 50,000." Sarak looked at Sara sincerely: "Mother, Butler Muxikyo is our guest, and he should be truthful to him. Sara nodded slowly, as if in agreement.
"I am actually a Yiqu person, I thought that the Chinese people were the most cunning, but I didn't expect the Persians to be even more cunning."
Mu Xijing slapped his thigh heavily and laughed loudly: "Fifty thousand troops? Does it include slaves who feed horses and newborn ponies? With the strength of the Cambyses family now, the maximum number of soldiers that can be mobilized is 20,000, and this is your greatest strength, isn't it? And Sunak can't hold out for too long, right? If the 20,000 Lydian soldiers fighting in Ionia were no longer fed food and weapons, would they have defected to join the rebels? If I were you, Lord Governor and Lady Sarah, I would be in a hurry right now, and I wouldn't have time to go around in circles here! Now tell me what you can offer, and if it's exciting enough, Miss Mogina will satisfy you."
"Hehe, the butler cares about Lydia very much." Sarak couldn't argue for a moment.
"After all, it's Miss's family, how can this housekeeper not care? It's up to me to say this, how about Governor Sarak give up the position of head of the family now, and Miss Mogina will fully support the family and help the Cambyses family through this crisis? Governor Salak will not say that there will be a large army from Persia, and I guarantee that within two months the news of the defeat and death of Kodoman will spread throughout Persia, and you still have to expect the provincial capitals on the banks of the Nile and the Aegean coast to help you? ”
"Who are you?"
Salak's color changed dramatically, Mu Xijing's words were too explicit, after all, he was still the governor of the province of the Persian Empire, and he couldn't listen to it anyway.
"It doesn't matter who I am, the important thing is that Miss Mogina can ensure that your Cambyses family will continue to be glorious and traditional, and continue to be your first-class noble, so what does it matter if the king is Kodoman or someone else?"
Mu Xijing laughed, lowered his voice and said: "But after all, the governor of Salak is the elder brother of the young lady, so you can give up the position of the head of the family, and you will still be the governor of Lydia in the future." If I were you, I would have seized this opportunity and would rather die than let go."
