Chapter 361: Do You Look Like a Fool?
The chat with Lythea is still very pleasant, although the fiancé did not make any ** moves, but in the hearts of both parties, they once again have a new intuitive impression of each other.
is very tacit, neither of them mentioned the marriage contract, but in their hearts, they chose to acquiesce.
After saying goodbye to Lytia, Li Yalin did not leave the church, after all, his visit to the church this time was not so simple, even if the pope pressed on it, it would not be canceled because of this.
For example, he had to attend the peace talks with the fallen princes and nobles.
The so-called peace talks are obviously the wishful thinking of some bishops and princes and nobles in the church, according to their ideas, with the prestige of the church, it should be no problem to force Li Yalin, if Li Yalin refuses, then he is an enemy of the church, and he will continue to be an enemy of the world like Barbaron!
Although they are very jealous that Li Yalin is really an enemy of the church, those comical bishops naively think that Li Yalin is just a lucky person who happens to be in the same situation, and if the same identity is replaced by someone else, anyone can do it.
There is no way, although these bishops are in high positions one by one, they have lived in the church for too long, and their thinking has been fixed, in their eyes, Li Yalin does not dare to resist the church at all.
It's a pity that they all thought wrong, Li Yalin came, but it was just to give the Pope face, and he participated in the peace talks, but he came to slap his face.
When the peace talks began, Li Yalin was not allowed to speak. The princes and nobles who were in distress took the lead in crying, and they burst into tears one by one, and the performance was so realistic that even Li Yalin wanted to applaud them when he looked at it.
Immediately afterwards, several bishops on the church side also spoke one after another, saying that since Li Yalin was responding to the call of the church, then starting from the general righteousness, he should return the territories of those princes and nobles, so as not to lose the king's clouds.
In a word, several bishops and those princes and nobles united to force Li Yalin to surrender his territory. If you hand it over, everyone will still be good friends. But if you refuse, then you have to consider the wrath of the church, and when the time comes, you will lose people and hearts.
Looking at the noisy clowns of these jumping clowns, Li Yalin felt quite interesting. Look up at the Pope. It was found that he was also watching this scene with a playful look. I believe that the thoughts in the hearts of the two are the same at this moment.
"Ahem, can I say two words?"
A full hour later, the other party's farce finally came to an end. Coughing lightly, Li Yalin finally seized the opportunity to speak.
And as soon as Li Yalin spoke, all the eyes of the audience were focused on him, how to choose, everyone was waiting quietly.
"Actually, to be honest, I'm not very interested in the territory or anything, and if you want me to return it, it's not impossible."
When Li Yalin said this, the bishops and princes and nobles suddenly let out an exclamation, they originally thought that Li Yalin would have to resist for a while, at least it would not be so simple to hand over the territory, but now it seems that things are not as troublesome as imagined.
"But! I, the one who sent out my troops, also lost a lot when I conquered Babaron, and if you want to get your territory back, then at least make up for my losses first, right? ”
Just when everyone thought that the general trend had been decided, Li Yalin couldn't do it, and suddenly turned things back.
Make up for the loss? That's no problem, if you can redeem the territory by spending money, then these princes and nobles won't care.
"Everyone has no opinion on my mention, right? I have here a list of war losses, and I can show you now, and if you can afford to pay the price of my losses, then I will return your territory immediately. ”
Just when everyone was talking, Li Yalin handed over a few pieces of information to the princes and nobles in a timely manner, and after seeing the numbers on the data, everyone was stunned.
Money! A huge amount of money! Not to mention that these princes and nobles have been in trouble, even when they are in power, it is difficult to make up the money.
No way, the numbers on this are so exaggerated, exaggerated that people can't believe it!
"It can't be! How can your losses in the war be so great! I don't believe it! ”
Because the numbers are too outrageous, naturally someone quickly expressed their dissatisfaction, it was a nobleman in his thirties, Li Yalin remembered that he seemed to be the duke of a small principality, and when he was in tears just now, he was the hardest-working.
"How many wars have Your Excellency been through? How do you know that the losses in the war are not so great? I remember that when you attacked Babaron, you fled before you could resist, right? If you think that if you run away, you won't lose anything, then it's called fighting, I'm afraid it's really naïve! ”
I had long expected that someone would resist, Li Yalin was naturally ready, whatever you say, anyway, I will bite the number, see what you can do.
"You ......"
Li Yalin's opening of his mouth poked at the weakness of the duke opposite, after all, this is not wrong at all, he did run away before the war began, and he didn't even care about his subordinates, as long as he didn't lose anything.
A war without resistance, it is not even a battle, it can be seen how cowardly this guy is, if at the beginning he dared to question Li Yalin with the prestige of the church, then now, Li Yalin's cold snort has made him dare not even speak.
"What am I? Am I not right? Li Yalin snorted coldly again, and at this moment, the soft duke didn't even dare to reply, and directly shrank his head and sat back in his seat.
There's no way, who made Li Yalin so strong.
"I can't say that, His Majesty's conquest of Babaron is in accordance with the general righteousness, if you blindly pursue interests, I'm afraid that spreading it will damage Your Majesty's prestige."
Duke Soft Egg has nothing to say, but as the backstage of a group of princes and nobles, those bishops can't sit still, and since those soft eggs don't dare to fight Li Yalin, they can only let them come forward to solve this matter.
"Prestige? What the Bishop said, when I requisitioned against Barbaron, do you know how much alimony the soldiers who died in battle? Whenever I raid a place, in order to appease the feelings of the people, do you know how much I spend? In order to raise an army to face Barbaron, I almost broke the bank, you know? A word of prestige and a sentence of righteousness put me out of the matter? ”
After hearing the bishop's words, Li Yalin immediately turned the bishop speechless word by word.
Yes, he didn't know how much Li Yalin really spent, and he didn't know how much loss there would be in counterattacking Babaron, and now after spreading out all the words, he couldn't find the words to refute Li Yalin at all.
"So, Lord Bishop, do you think I look like a fool?"
Just when the bishop didn't know what to say, Li Yalin pointed to his nose again and asked him.
"How can His Majesty Yalin be a fool."
This question is easy to answer, and the bishop subconsciously spoke, but as soon as his words fell, Li Yalin also nodded directly, expressing his very much agreement.
"That's right, I don't think I'm a fool, so why would you, Lord Bishop, be foolish enough to think that I would return those territories for free?"
"You ......"
It was a beautiful slap in the face that slapped the bishop directly, making it impossible for him to refute it.
Yes, none of the people present are stupid, and now they can naturally see that Li Yalin is not ready to return the territory he occupies at all, if he returns it, then he is a real fool.
"What? Your Excellency Bishop thinks I'm wrong? In fact, this is very simple, the territory I occupy, which my soldiers exchanged for flesh and blood! If all of you here feel that you are very unwilling to lose your territory, then you can be wronged by the head of the debt, and you can find whoever you want to go to if you lose the territory from anyone, but if you find me, I will not accompany you! ”
When Li Yalin said this, it was equivalent to giving an ultimatum, completely expressing his attitude.
Don't you want territory? How to lose it, how to get it, anyway, it has nothing to do with me.
With such an obvious meaning, everyone naturally understands it, but it is precisely because they understand it that it makes people feel cheating.
How did they lose their territory? Naturally, it was occupied by Babaron, and now Li Yalin said that there is a debtor and a debtor, but do they dare to go to Babaron for trouble?
Don't make a fuss, if they dare, they wouldn't be sitting here today, but they should be defending their home in their own territory.
A bunch of rubbish!
When everyone was silent, Li Yalin also snorted coldly in his heart, he knew that these guys were bullying the soft and afraid of the hard, rushing forward when they felt that there was interest, and being the first to withdraw if they were in danger, there was simply no merit, it was a waste of air to live, and a waste of land to die, it was worse than garbage!
So, he didn't have to give these guys any good looks at all.
"Ahem, since His Majesty Yalin has already expressed his attitude, then our church has no right to interfere anymore, if you still have any questions, you can go to Yalin Majesty alone to communicate and solve the problem privately, and this meeting will end here."
In the end, the Pope coughed softly and gave a final summary of the meeting, which can be regarded as completely eliminating the thoughts of those princes and nobles.
What does the Pope mean by this? Obviously, the church will no longer help you, so go to Li Yalin for what you want.
Looking for Li Yalin?
Who would dare? (To be continued......)
