Chapter 1435: Old Disease
The so-called political marriage is to play politics in the form of marriage.
This situation has long appeared on the blue planet, and the most famous of them is the 'Zhaojun Out of the Fortress' that has been passed down to posterity in a dramatic way.
Speaking of which, most of those who like to play political marriage are careerists who regard politics as more important than their lives.
When a political marriage encounters a loving father and mother like the Orc King and the Orc Queen, it is like two numbers that meet an unequal sign, and it is instantly invalid.
The reason why he called the dwarf king a loving father is because when he refuses political marriage, he is quite neat and neat, and leaves no room for anything, unlike some hypocritical guys who play with family relationships, while expressing their resolute opposition with righteous words, and at the same time persuading their family to compromise.
But when the request was actually rejected, the eyes of the city lord of Eri City flashed with a touch of gloom.
It's as angry as showing your privacy to others and being ridiculed by others.
It's anger with a sense of shame.
Such anger is often more intense than being insulted or attacked.
However, the city lord of Eri City only showed a trace of imperceptible anger, and then returned to his senses.
This person is very difficult to deal with.
That's the only thought that comes to my mind at the moment.
It's no wonder that he was able to seize the supreme power of Eri City without his own strength.
If he is let go this time, I am afraid that in the future, it will threaten the lives and safety of everyone present, and even shake the situation in the Zephyr Continent.
Do you want to kill him right here?
Anyway, his strength is not strong, if I choose to kill him suddenly, even if the city lord of York Han City next to him is extraordinary, he will definitely not be able to reverse the result that the city lord of Eri City was killed by me.
However, once I make a move, will I push Dasai City into the target of public criticism?
If this is the case, Cagalli will definitely blame me, and maybe even be depressed because of it.
Well...... How do I do that?
Draw the sword, or continue to be indifferent until you see this big trouble leave.
While listening to the conversation of the three city lords calmly, I tried my best to suppress the killing intent that wanted to burst out, and subconsciously, my ten fingers were already clenched into fists.
"Ahem, ahem," Lesta's cough suddenly came to our ears.
The Orc King stopped talking, turned his head, and said, "Lesta, what's wrong with you?" ”
"Back to Your Majesty, this is the old minister's old illness, it has been a long time, but I don't want to, it is really hurtful to have an atmosphere and a faux pas on such an important occasion as today, and I hope Your Majesty will punish you."
The Orc King frowned slightly, looking confused.
On the side, the queen said: "Lesta is sick, husband, let Xiao Yi accompany him to the back to get the medicine first." ”
"Huh? Yes...... Okay" The orc king nodded and said, "Xiao Yi, you have to escort Lesta to the back to grab the medicine, understand?" ”
"Yes."
Loosening my clenched hands, I helped Lesta out of the drawing-room.
When I went out the door and walked to the end of the corridor, Lesta suddenly stopped, looked directly at me, and said, "Did you just have murderous intentions?" ”
“...... Be. ”
Now that it has been seen, I don't need to hide it, it's better to admit it directly.
"You're going to kill the lord of Ari, I'm afraid," Lesta continued.
"Yes."
"Do you know why Your Majesty was stunned for a moment?" He asked again.
"Is it because you don't have any old diseases at all?"
"Isn't that a very smart child," said Lesta, "why can't you use your clever brain where it should be used?" ”
"Huh?" I was confused.
"I ask you, do you know why I'm pretending to be sick?"
"yes, I guess that."
"Why?" His slender eyes sparkled as he stared at me.
"You're stopping me, and it's not good for the lord of Ari City."
"Looks like you know," he nodded, and continued, "Then do you know why I'm stopping you?" ”
"Worried that because of my actions, Dasai City will become the target of public criticism?" I wondered.
"If it's just the target of the public, it's better to say," Lesta said solemnly, "What I am most afraid of is civil strife in my Dasai City, and it will be irrepressible." ”
Sighing, he said: "You are still young and know a limited amount of things, I can tell you very responsibly that behind such a grand event as the Zephyr Tournament, there are not only hidden and hidden national forces as the city lord's guards, but also many rebels who want to subvert the regime and take the opportunity to get a piece of the pie, and there are many forces that you have never seen or even heard of are ready to move, so don't do things during the Zephyr Tournament, this is common sense as a national minister!" ”
His tone was not intense, and his words were not sharp, but I still heard it with a red face and a white face.
Yes, he's right, I did overlook the Zephyr Tournament factor.
It is cool to rashly kill the city lord, but the likely consequence is to pull the entire Dasai City to accompany the funeral.
Because of Lesta's skew, I didn't do anything out of the ordinary.
After sending the two city lords away with harmony, back to the room, the orc king was a little puzzled and said, "Lesta, what's the matter?" ”
Lesta didn't directly say my question, but instead avoided the topic and said, "Your Majesty, what do you think of the two city lords?" ”
The orc king was stunned and said, "Does this have anything to do with the fact that you said that you have an old disease?" ”
Lesta nodded.
Seeing this, the orc king frowned, thought for a moment, and said, "The city lord of York Han City is more impatient, so there is no need to worry, but the city lord of Eri City is very calm, I am afraid it will become a big trouble." ”
"That's the crux of the matter, Your Majesty."
Then, Lesta explained the reason why he pretended to be sick, and praised me: "Xiao Yi, although he is not thoughtful, but his vision is accurate, this is the biggest key to becoming the prime minister, his heliocentric calm, I am afraid that his achievements will be far above me." ”
"You praise him too much, Lesta," said the orc king, "even if you don't praise him, I won't do anything to him, young man, he always has to make some mistakes, as long as they are not essentially mistakes, they can be forgiven." ”
"Your Majesty is wise."
"Madam" The orc king turned to the queen and said, "What do you think of Xiao Yi's actions today?" ”
"A little younger, but his courage and iron fist should not be underestimated" The queen turned to me and smiled, "I am afraid that he will be much better than you in the future." ”
"Is that so?" The Orc King laughed and said, "That's really my blessing to reach the city of Sai!" ”
After laughing, the orc king turned to me and said, "Xiao Yi, let me ask you, what do you think of the two city lords' requests for the Near-Nations Alliance?" ”
"I think we should choose to ignore it."
