Chapter 265: Political Deals

After Edika went to see his daughter Sura, Qin Dong felt a little bored sitting alone in the huge living room, and told Batu not to follow him, so he got up and walked to the garden for a stroll.

At this time, Qin Dong faintly heard a quarrel from the back of a flower bed not far away, a man and a woman, the woman seemed to blame the man for being cowardly, and the man had been struggling to explain, but the woman didn't scream and didn't listen, and finally the woman appeared from the hidden place and ran straight to Qin Dong's side.

The path in the garden was only one person wide, Qin Dong couldn't dodge at all, the woman who ran over with her head buried rushed straight over, Qin Dong hurriedly dodged sideways, but the woman still bumped into him.

"Oops!" Qin Dong was fine, but the woman who hit him was knocked into the flowers and fell down because of the reaction force, overpowering a piece of flowers and plants.

According to the normal reaction, Qin Dong should have grabbed the woman to prevent her from falling, but since Qin Dong already knew that this woman was entangled with someone else's man in a hidden place, he didn't want to find trouble.

The woman fell into the flowers and turned her head and scolded, "You damned slave, why didn't you run away when you saw me coming, and I fell?" ”

Before Qin Dong could speak, a Captain Skill with a leather helmet, cowhide armor, and a broadsword hanging from his waist ran over and saw the woman lying in the flowers, and saw Qin Dong, a stranger, standing next to him, and looked at Qin Dong carefully, but he didn't seem to have seen it, remembering what the two of them said behind the flower bed just now, he suspected that Qin Dong might have heard it, and it might leak out. Immediately, his face changed, his eyes were full of murderous intent, and his right hand stretched out and held it on the hilt of the sword. Shen Sheng asked, "Who are you?" Why is it here? What did you just hear? ”

Qin Dong saw the movement of this commander holding the hilt of the sword, and knew that he suspected that he had heard something that he shouldn't have heard, so he had a murderous intention towards himself, and then looked at this commander carefully, he was tall, with a powerful appearance, golden hair, blue eyes and a high nose. The eye sockets are deep, the cheekbones are high, and the lips have a thick beard. He does look a little handsome, no wonder he can make women like it, he smiled: "Who are you?" What are you doing here? ”

As soon as he said this, the commander's hand on the hilt of his sword was lowered. asked, "Just now I heard that the king of the Eastern Courtyard is here." Could it be that you are the retinue of the king of the Eastern Courtyard? My name is Hayden, I am the commander of the 5,000-man team of the 3rd Army under the command of Captain Zuo, I am here to report to Lord Captain Zuo, this is the back garden, if you have nothing else to do, don't just walk around, it's inconvenient! ”

Then the woman who fell in the flowers cried out innocently, "What are you talking nonsense to him?" Why don't you help me up! ”

Hayden said to Qin Dong with an embarrassed expression: "Don't mind, she is not in a good mood today, let's go first!" So saying, he picked the woman up and walked away.

Qin Dong watched the two leave. There was a flickering look in his eyes, and his expression was thoughtful. He remembered that the side of the woman dressed as a man on the road galloping through the street was very similar to the woman just now, could they be the same person? Tong Guò The age and dress of the woman just now, Qin Dong's analysis and conclusion couldn't help but make him feel bitter in his heart, because he had a hunch that this woman just now was Princess Sula.

The situation just now is already obvious, not to mention what Sulla's temperament is, but she already has a crush, and he is afraid that the matter of marriage is very suspenseful, and he does not necessarily have to marry Sula, just because only marriage is the best way to solve Edika's unstable dìng factor, but now it seems that the road of marriage is only afraid that it will not work.

Sula already has a crush, Qin Dong doesn't know what kind of relationship she has developed with the thousand-captain named Hayden just now, he doesn't want to know, and he doesn't want to be a third party to intervene, and Sulla is not a peerless beauty, not to the point where he has to get it, now even if Edika agrees to marry Sula to him, he will find a way to mess up this marriage, he doesn't want to wear a green hat, or Sulla was already pregnant when he married him, and at that time it was really a man's sorrow.

When he returned to the living room, Edika hadn't come over yet, so Qin Dong sat down and continued to drink tea, and drank two cups of tea in a row before waiting for Edika to come over.

"Let the king wait for a long time, forgive your sins!" Edika came over and apologized.

Qin Dong got up and waved his hand and said, "It's okay, Lord Edika, I don't know what Princess Sula's attitude is?" ”

Edika said with a smile like a spring breeze on her face: "King, good news, the little girl has always admired the king, I told her just now, although she didn't nod her head openly, but I, as a father, can see that she should have no opinion."

Qin Dong's face changed, and he turned his face on the spot and said, "Lord Zuo, it doesn't seem that things are what you said, right?" I was just walking around the back garden and overheard a conversation between a man and a woman, the man seemed to be Hayden, the commander of the 5,000-man team of the Third Legion under you, and the woman was your daughter Sula, and the two seemed to be in a private meeting, talking as if your daughter was pregnant. Lord Edika, since your daughter has a crush, she will announce it, what is it to sneak around and hide it? It made me run over and beg for a kiss, didn't it make me make a fool of myself? Luckily I was discovered, and if I marry your daughter home, then I'm not going to wear a tall green hat? Do you have to raise a son for someone else? Edika, what are your intentions? ”

In fact, according to this situation, Qin Dong pushed the boat to marry Sula home, then his plan in advance was half successful, Edika's age is not young, and it is really difficult to say how many years he can live, just wait for him to die, then the control of Skier's army will fall into Qin Dong's hands, which is exactly what Qin Dong expected, but Qin Dong really doesn't want to be a cuckold, he doesn't want to raise a son for others, he is now a hegemon, if the matter of cuckolding and raising a son for others spreads, I am afraid that it will become a laughing stock in the whole world.

Edika was silent for a while and said, "King, what do you think in your heart, I know!" When you come to ask for marriage, do you just want you and me to marry? I can guess your ambition, you are a person who is unwilling to surrender to others, and you also have the ability not to surrender to others, you have the conditions to become a generation of heroes, but from this point of view, you are still a little arrogant, you are right, my daughter is indeed pregnant, and the child is Hayden's, but I can't let Sula marry him, because Hayden's father was killed by me, if Hayden knows about this, you can imagine what my daughter's situation will be like!

When the king said that he wanted to marry my daughter, I really didn't want to promise you at the time, I just found out that she was pregnant, and the father of the child is Hayden, so I must not let her marry Hayden, just now, Hayden has been secretly executed by me, and Sulla has been locked up by me.

O king, why don't you and me make a deal, you marry my daughter, and promise to treat her as a husband treats his wife, I promise to support you as much as I can, and I will take the child after it is born, and I will feed him! Wang, I believe that you are a person who does great things, you should know that sometimes if you want to do great things, you must know how to make trade-offs, be broad-minded, and be tolerant, my daughter's temper and temperament are not bad, what you see today is just that she is in a bad mood, usually she is a very lively girl, I believe you will like her, and will definitely treat her well".

Qin Dong instinctively wanted to refuse this deal, this deal was a bit too disgusting, but Qin Dong held back, at this critical time, only marrying Sula was the only feasible way to solve the hidden dangers that might exist in Zài, not only did not need to fight and bleed, but also had the support of 60,000 troops and hundreds of thousands of Skiers, where to find such a good thing? But at what cost? The price is that you have to be married to a woman who is not in your heart, you may have different dreams in the same bed, and you must treat that woman with a husband's heart, how sad is this for a man? Or rather, humiliation!

But Qin Dong understands very well that those who have become great things since ancient times must endure ordinary people and can't bear it, what is this little humiliation? Before Genghis Khan Temujin of later generations made his fortune, the leader of the three surnamed Mi'er beggars, Tohei Toa, raided Temujin's camp in order to avenge the robbery of his brother Chiliedu's fiancée Heelun by Temujin's father. During the scuffle, Temujin fled into Mount Bhuerhan (present-day Mount Kent), but his wife and half-mother were taken prisoner by Toheit. A year later, when she was rescued, she was pregnant, and the word "Jochi" means "guest". Therefore, since the birth of Jochi, there have been people who have doubted Jochi's bloodline, especially the second brother Chagatai and the third brother Ogedei often conflict with them because of this, but Temujin knew that Jochi was not his own son, and still gritted his teeth and insisted on admitting that Jochi was his own son, and killed all those who knew the inside story except for Polthe, and kept this secret. There was no large-scale conflict, so there was no internal division, and some other people who vaguely guessed the inside story were impressed by Temujin's broad-mindedness, which was able to unite the Mongol tribes and create the largest empire in history.

Qin Dong stood up and looked at Edika, and only took a long breath after a long time, "Lord Adika, then let's make a decision!" I marry Princess Sula, then she is my wife, and my husband will treat her well, but I also hope that you will keep your promise! ”

"Of course, only you are good to Sulla, and Skil's 60,000 troops and hundreds of thousands of people are your strong backing!" (To be continued......)
