"If you don't make a decision sooner, you don't know what kind of dangerous situation will happen in the future!"

The sentence that Yang Zimu finally summed up was not so much an exhortation to Su Mu and others, but a naked threat at all.

After all, the source of this turmoil is the Dragon Tuo Emperor who no one can see through.

And Yang Zimu, who said this sentence at this time, did not have the slightest sense of apology, but looked at Su Mu who had not been away for a long time with mocking eyes.

Then he said softly, a certain news that made Su Mu slightly awe-inspiring:

"As you may remember, I told you myself after I led my troops to the Federal Border Fortress to help...... What the Empire really asked for was never the price that could be provided by the Federation, but a certain price that came from Su Mu himself. ”

And now it seems that what kind of price this price is, in fact, it is so obvious. All you have to do is agree to Your Majesty's third request, and the feud between you and the Empire will be completely zero...... Even from now on, you will not only have the high hopes of the Federation, but also enjoy the honor of being the son-in-law of Emperor Longtuo. ”

Su Mu obviously didn't expect that the condition that Yang Zimu had mentioned at that time was the persecution in front of him now.

Although by now, the fact that the emperor had been prepared for this for a long time has become well-known news.

But even Yang Zimu, who went deep into the abyss together, also understood this, which obviously made the three of Su Mu more and more at a loss for the reason behind all this.

......

"As to the reasons for your Majesty's request...... Can you tell me the logic directly?"

There was no hesitation, no tactfulness.

As Yang Zimu came to visit as a "messenger", Su Mu was also extremely decisive, and directly asked the biggest doubt in his heart so bluntly.

Although in the Miyagi conversation three days ago, Su Mu and Su Tong were too shocked by the third condition, and did not really dare to ask a rhetorical question.

But with these three days, the operation of the imperial side has become more and more confusing.

And now Su Mu and others, there is no progress in guessing.

Therefore, at this moment, Su Mu simply completely abandoned his due reserve, and asked directly about this blankness in such an unexpected form.

I have to say that Su Mu's sudden question did surprise Yang Zimu slightly.

It seems that he didn't expect Su Mu to be so unruly.

However, in addition to being surprised, Yang Zimu's eyes when he looked at Su Mu did not change in the slightest.

There was no trace of a loophole that could be caught by Su Mu.

"You can only ask Your Majesty directly about this question, if Your Majesty himself is not willing to say more, I will naturally not be able to give you any answer or hint. ”

"As for how you can meet Your Majesty, and the sincerity you must bring to your Majesty again. Presumably, with your level of intelligence, this is not a problem for you at all. ”

"So the crux of the matter, in fact, is only ...... Have you thought of a final answer to your marriage to Her Royal Highness?"

"It's only when you understand that you can understand more. ”

......

When Yang Zimu finished saying the above still empty answer, he also said goodbye again and left the state guesthouse.

What Yang Zimu brought with him was undoubtedly only a certain determination on the part of the empire.

A slight demonstration of external public opinion, which is now becoming more and more arrogant.

As for the core logic that Su Mu and the three of them really cared about, Yang Zimu neither intended to give an explanation, nor seemed to be able to give an explanation at all.

Everything is still shrouded in a thick fog.

Even at this moment, with Yang Zimu's farewell and departure, Qin Dong, who went out to inquire about the news again, brought back an even more surprising report:

"Starting from this evening, more and more imperial residents have been gathering on the side of the sacrificial dragon pond outside the noon gate of the imperial city. So far, at least nearly 10,000 people have gathered there. ”

"If I'm not mistaken, I'm afraid that the kind of pomp that has not appeared in a hundred years is about to appear in the imperial city tonight again because of this matter in front of me!"

The news that Qin Dong brought back, although anyone can get a glimpse of the seriousness of the matter from it.

After all, the spontaneous gathering of tens of thousands of people naturally cannot help but cause a huge sensation.

It's just that Su Mu and Lu Xi are not residents of the empire after all, so they don't really understand the meaning of this spontaneous gathering outside the noon gate of the imperial city.

And only Su Tong, who really grew up in this city, has a more awe-inspiring and fierce expression.

......

"Dear, Sister Lu Xi, you should still remember it now...... At that time, when I lied to you to go to the Queqiao Pond, I mentioned that the place known as the three views of the imperial capital, in addition to the Queqiao Pond that we have been to, there are also two places to worship the Dragon Pond and ask the Dao Stone. ”

And the so-called sacrificial dragon pond actually refers to the living pond outside the noon gate of the imperial city. ”

And compared with the Queqiao Pond, which symbolizes love, and the Taoist Stone with a philosophical conception, in fact, the Dragon Pond among the three scenes does not have any peculiarities. The reason why the Dragon Pond is ranked among the three scenic spots, and even faintly has the status of the first of the three scenic spots, is actually because ......"

Speaking of this, the awe-inspiring look in Su Tong's eyes was already becoming more and more high-spirited.

Because the so-called sacrifice to Longtan is something of great symbolic significance, and the behavior of people gathering to sacrifice Longtan is a grand occasion that even the imperial royal family can hardly control.

"The so-called sacrificial dragon pond originally did not have any special purpose, and it was indeed only built as a decoration outside the imperial city, and it did not have any meaning in itself. ”

"But what gave the aura of sacrificing Longtan was a certain promise from the founding emperor. ”

"According to the historical records of the empire, after the founding emperor established the capital of Longtuo Emperor, many effects that had been tamed by him were specially sent to inquire...... Since they paid tribute to the majesty of the empire, and were stripped of most of their standing armor. So once the countries are in trouble, will the empire not hesitate to send troops to support?"

"Actually, the question itself doesn't make any sense. Because everyone knows that the most desired thing for the empire at that time was to completely devour the kingdoms after they were in decline. ”

However, this hidden attitude naturally cannot be used to reply to the kingdom of symmetrical ministers. ”

"Therefore, the founding emperor of the country at that time replied to the comer in a very opportunistic manner: 'If you want all the people to come to court, I will definitely listen to your wishes.'" Otherwise, your tribute to the Empire is not religious, and the Empire will not respond. ”

Speaking of this, Su Tong paused slightly, and then finally concluded:

"This edict has naturally not been used by any small country, after all, the original intention of the founding emperor was to prevent them from deliberately designing the conditions so harshly. ”

"But what the founding emperor did not expect was that in the subsequent change of imperial power, there were instead side princes who launched rebellions, and just took advantage of the grand occasion of 'worship of all peoples' to achieve the conditions for consolidating their legitimacy. Even since then, the Dragon Sacrifice has been involved in various royal struggles for a long time. ”

In other words, today's sacrificial dragon pond does have some kind of effect that can directly reach the heavens. As long as the news is delivered through the 'worship of 10,000 people', it seems that even the reigning imperial royals must be treated with caution. ”

"And now it seems that since my father deliberately fanned the grand occasion of this sacrifice to Longtan, the intention of this '10,000 people worship' is ...... It's already so obvious!"
