Chapter 625: Conditions of the Empire
(Finally fixed, the old rule, updated every hour, until all the manuscripts on hand are sent)
However, at this moment, when Su Mu and the Emperor of the Empire had just conducted the first round of psychological confrontation in the words of swords and swords.
Today's Su Tong himself is also quietly moving sideways.
So skillfully, using her body to meet the gaze between Su Mu and the Emperor of the Empire, and so easily blocking it in the air.
Then a slightly chilling, but extremely lonely sentence gently fell from Su Tong's mouth:
"Father is really forgetful, Tong'er, I am seventeen years old this year, and if you want to talk about growing taller, it has gradually stopped two or three years ago. It's the emperor's younger brother Su Can, who went to the federation for several years and did not return...... Today's voice and appearance, I'm afraid my father has long been blurred!"
I have to say that Su Tong's rhetorical question is actually far more fatal than Su Mu's ambiguity.
is obviously the nominally most "spoiled" daughter of the emperor, but Emperor Long Tuo didn't even pay attention to the change in her height, and the pledged prince who was cared about by the emperor, the emperor didn't even show superfluous emotions after the other party had not returned for several years.
Although in his words, Su Tong had quietly put on an excuse for the other party to be "forgetful".
But in fact, everyone here knows that this is just an excuse in the end.
Even through this excuse, the implicit intentions that Su Tong really wanted to express could really be clearly displayed by her:
Since the current emperor can be so forgetful even to his own children.
Then everything about Su Mu, or everything that happened in the Ancestral Dragon Temple, the Emperor should not mention it in a vague way.
After all, the excuse that the emperor used to seduce Su Mu is for Su Tong today...... Obviously the most unacceptable excuse!
......
One person, one word, three blades, quickly echoed in the blue wave pavilion.
At this moment, the Bibo Pavilion, which is still sailing rapidly among the water waves, is getting closer and closer to the center of the atrium lake. And the three Su Mu in the pavilion were also getting farther and farther away from the crowd on the shore of the lake.
However, because of the unpleasant conversation between the three of them before, the Emperor did not speak again at this time.
Su Mu and Su Tong, who were guests, naturally couldn't take the initiative to speak.
All of a sudden, there was only a gentle breeze in the huge blue wave pavilion, swaying the gorgeous sand tents on the outside of the pavilion, swaying softly with the wind.
And the topic that Su Mu and the others were specially invited to this point has not been brought up for a long time.
Fortunately, at this time, the only palace official who could stay outside the Bibo Pavilion to serve finally slowly walked into the Bibo Pavilion between the stalemate between Su Mu and the three.
Then, at a leisurely pace, on a wooden table in the pavilion, hot tea was slowly poured for the three of them.
Then he also silently withdrew from the Bibo Pavilion without saying a word.
And at this time, the official who poured the tea, in fact, Su Mu recognized the identity of the other party for the first time, because this person was ...... The leader of the internal officials who had forced Su Mu into the Ancestral Dragon Temple.
If the emperor's previous solemn questioning was only to give Su Mu some kind of deterrent.
Then the leader of the internal officials who appeared at this time was obviously illustrating with his actions:
Everything Su Mu has done, the imperial side can come up with tangible evidence!
Therefore, if Su Mu still wants to continue to pretend not to know, then the next dialogue about the union of the two countries ...... The initiative would then be in the hands of the Empire.
......
An invisible confrontation ended after all because of the appearance of the chief of the internal officials.
In fact, from the very beginning, the emperor never wanted to really uncover the matter of the ancestral dragon temple, but only used the most straightforward and resolute attitude to successfully grasp the initiative in the future.
Therefore, under this situation, when Su Mu finally realized the true purpose of the emperor, and also clearly understood the wordless exchange.
The current emperor himself has finally taken the initiative to end the boring pre-game.
For the first time, an invitation from the supreme ruler of the empire was really issued.
"Sit, since you are the younger generation of the widow, then come and chat with the widow about the general trend. Presumably, whether it is my talented daughter or my world-famous son-in-law...... You all have insights that can impress even the widows on the general trend of the world. ”
As he spoke, the Emperor took the lead in seating himself at the wooden table.
The two seats in front of the other two teacups were obviously prepared for Su Mu and Su Tong.
So far, the real purpose of Su Mu's coming to the capital of the empire has been put on the table for the first time...... With three cups of soft and warm tea, they were placed in front of Su Mu's eyes.
And at this time, Su Mu and Su Tong were of course not verbose and hesitant when they saw this.
As the emperor sat down, Su Mu and the two naturally sat down in front of each other quickly, looking at the emperor's face silently and awe-inspiringly.
Waiting quietly, the other party really revealed the core purpose.
......
In fact, it was not until this moment that Su Mu saw the face of the most noble person in the continent so closely for the first time.
Contemporary Emperor Longtuo, he is not only Su Tong's biological father, but also the inheritor of a certain "Su Mu" bloodline in ancient times.
The man in front of him can be said to have a deep relationship with Su Mu.
Even through the corners of the other party's eyebrows and eyes, as well as the essence in his eyes, Su Mu was not unable to ...... See a few traces of your most familiar temperament!
But the only difference is that compared to Su Mu's own eyes:
The emperor in front of him, but there is a little more calm in his eyes, but there is a little less attachment to the world.
Or, to put it more simply, the temperament of the emperor is actually a kind of stubbornness mixed with unwillingness, but it is not the perseverance of hope.
However, at this moment, there is no waiting for Su Mu to carefully peek at the other party's will.
At the same time that Su Mu and the others had just taken their seats, the emperor had already used his majestic voice to bring out the real main course of this invitation:
"Three conditions. ”
"First, regarding the tomb of King Ming in the Peacock King City, the empire must be allowed to enter the same way in the future. In exchange for this, the 'key' to the tomb of King Daming will also be provided by the Imperial side as part of its sincerity on the premise of ensuring that it is not taken over by the Federation. ”
"Second, if the Federation wants to postpone the dispatch of troops and make the pace of war slower...... Then the forces secretly established by the Federation in the Mauryan Kingdom must be thoroughly disclosed to the Empire. And this force itself, which will later join part of the combat power sent by the empire, will become a force jointly governed by the two countries. ”
"As for the third ......"
When the Emperor said this, he rarely showed a trace of weirdness.
Then an even more astonishing condition was presented:
"Third, I don't care what your federation thinks, and whether Su Tong takes over the status of the federation's diplomatic ambassador or not. But as long as she still has my blood in her veins, she will always be the princess of the empire. Therefore, with regard to the marriage of the two of you, I will not allow it to be disturbed by any situation. ”
"Before you leave the Imperial Capital, the Empire will hold a grand wedding for you. Since my daughter Su Tong is already willing to rebel against her homeland for you, then you must also show your sincerity immediately. ”
"As long as you dare to reject the third condition, all the previous conditions will be null and void...... Even if the empire gives up cooperation with the Federation, it will never allow Su Tong to follow you back to the Federation here!"
