XXXVII. Recognition

"This one is not very important for the time being, you can help me get a few such lathes first, so that I can accumulate more crossbow arrows first. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 infoI'm already annoyed with crossbow arrows. "Divine crossbow is a sharp weapon to defend the city, since last year, the Pegasus Legion has experienced many battles, the consumption of crossbow arrows is extremely large, and the military department has not replenished it in time, therefore, the number of crossbow arrows standing now is less than half of the standing time, for which Ma Mengshi is already anxious to hang, fortunately the orcs did not go south this year, otherwise, the Pegasus Legion can only fill with human lives.

"Of course, there is no problem with this one, but Shi'er, you really have to think about it carefully, there are some things, there is no turning back when you open the bow, and if you take the first step, there will be no chance of turning back."

Ma Mengshi kissed Yang Siqi again, but this time Yang Siqi was in pain and happiness, because Ma Mengshi bit his lip. After swallowing a piece of Yang Siqi's lips with blood, Ma Mengshi scolded hatefully: "Yang Siqi, I hate you." ”

The Iraqi are gone. Yang Siqi understands Ma Mengshi's mind very well, yes, it was Yang Siqi who made her so confused, and she had to make a difficult choice between loyalty and betrayal, which was really difficult for her. This is really an extremely difficult choice for the Ma family, which has been loyal to the kingdom for generations, and for the Ma family, which has taken allegiance to the kingdom as its family motto, even if the royal family betrays its promise first.

Yang Siqi pondered for a while, and when he was about to rest, he suddenly found that there was an extra person in his living room. The man was already full of gray hair, very old, but in excellent spirits.

Yang Siqi stood up: "This elder must be Shi'er's elder, please take a seat." ”

Ma Jiuming looked at Yang Siqi with very strange eyes, and only spoke after a while: "Aren't you afraid that I will kill you?" ”

Yang Siqi smiled and said, "The elder wants to kill me, he has already done it early in the morning, will he still talk so much nonsense to me?" Besides, if the elder wants to kill me, with my little ability, I can't even take a single move, I'm afraid it's useless, I'm not afraid that I can not die. ”

Ma Jiuming sat down and said, "You are Xie Zhixian?" Someone who has a life-saving grace for Shi'er? It's also someone who has helped my Ma family a lot? ”

"It seems that Shi'er didn't tell the elders my real name. Xie Zhixian is nothing more than my fake name, my real name is Yang Siqi, and Xie Zhixian is a fake name I use to avoid unnecessary trouble. As for the elder talking about saving Shi'er's life, that's what I should do. It helped the Ma family a lot, and this one can't be said, on the contrary, I brought Shi'er a lot of trouble. ”

Ma Jiuming agreed: "I heard Shi'er say your analysis, if it weren't for your beekeeping method of millions of gold coin profits, although my Ma family's life would be more difficult, Shi'er at least doesn't need to face the current choice, so it's not an exaggeration to say that you single-handedly caused the current situation." What are your intentions? ”

Yang Siqi smiled bitterly and said: "This elder, I don't have any intentions, maybe the elder doesn't know, Shi'er is already my woman, I plan for my own woman, this definitely doesn't have any bad intentions." ”

"What?" As soon as Ma Jiuming heard the sentence "Shi'er is my woman", he immediately couldn't sit still, and after thinking about it again, it seems that Ma Mengshi is indeed a little problematic, there is a difference between this married woman and a girl who is not married, so to speak, the two have already had a relationship.

grabbed Yang Siqi's neck with one hand: "Are you looking for death?" "Ma Jiuming wants to kill Yang Siqi now.

Yang Siqi's face remained unchanged: "Please let go, elder." If you don't want Shi'er to become a widow before she gets married. ”

Ma Jiuming was stunned, and only after a while did he let go of his hand.

Yang Siqi touched his neck, he didn't need to look at it to know that his neck already had a red mark, and he was almost pinched to death by Ma Jiuming. However, he won the bet.

"Tell me, what the hell is going on?"

Yang Siqi told the story of what happened that night, and finally said: "This thing is not what I want, but since it has happened, and I will never allow my woman to marry someone else, so, Shi'er I am married." Unless I die, whoever prevents me from marrying Shi'er will be my mortal enemy, and he will die. ”

"If you tell this matter, it is about Shi'er's reputation, aren't you afraid that I will kill you?" Ma Jiuming asked.

Yang Siqi smiled bitterly and said: "Elder, I'm gambling, I'm gambling with my own life, I'm betting that the Ma family is not an ungrateful family, if I see the Ma family wrong, then use my life to compensate." What else can I do? ”

"You can choose not to say it, as long as you don't say it, we don't know."

"There is a saying in my hometown that 'paper can't hold fire', and there is also a saying that 'if you don't want people to know, you can't do anything unless you do.'" Now that the matter is done, it is a matter of time before the goofs are made, and even if they are not discovered today, they will definitely be discovered tomorrow, and unless I disappear here, there will always be a day when they will be exposed. However, since I have decided to marry Shi'er, can I disappear forever? ”

Ma Jiuming sighed: "You are indeed not to blame for this matter, you are right, my Ma family is indeed not an ungrateful family, and my Ma family can't do such a lack of morality." ”

Yang Siqi poured a glass of water for Ma Jiuming: "Elder, I haven't asked for advice on my name and identity yet." ”

"I am Shi'er's great-uncle and grandfather, Shi'er's great-grandfather is my eldest brother, I am the third in the family, and Shi'er has always called me the third grandfather."

"I have already decided to marry Shi'er, so I will also call you the third grandfather in the future." Yang Siqi is tentative.

"Yes."

"Third Grandfather, the current situation seems to be caused by me, but in fact, I am afraid that the royal family will be suspicious of our Ma family, and our Ma family has today's situation, but I am afraid that the root cause of the bane will be planted early, but it has not broken out before."

Ma Jiuming had already heard Yang Siqi's analysis just now, with his strength, he stayed in the air, eavesdropping on the conversation between the two, how could he find out with the cultivation of Ma and Yang? Therefore, he agrees with Yang Siqi's analysis.

"Siqi, according to your thoughts, what should my Ma family do?"

"There are three ways to solve the dilemma that our Ma family is facing now."

"What about the three methods?" Ma Jiuming asked with interest.

"First, I have said before that the Ma family gave up the Tianma Legion, no longer has military power, and no longer cares about military and political affairs, in this way, it may be resolved, but it is difficult to guarantee whether the royal family will be in trouble after there is no military power, so I am only seventy percent sure of this method."

For this method, Ma Jiuming understands that with the practice of another planet, it can indeed resolve the predicament of the Ma family, after all, the Ma family has already given up military power, and the royal family is always embarrassed to kill them all.

Second, Shi'er chose one of the princes of the royal family to marry. In this way, the Ma family and the royal family will become one, and the children born to Shi'er in the future are very likely to become kings, so that the problems faced by the Ma family will naturally be solved. There is only one descendant of the Ma family in this generation, even if the children born to Shi'er do not ascend to the throne in the future, they can also ascend to the position of the head of the Ma family with the help of the royal family, and the Ma family will naturally no longer cause harm to the royal family. ”

Ma Jiuming slapped the table: "How can my Ma family do such a thing, this Fa Xiuti, even if my Ma family is wiped out, I will not let Shi'er marry into the royal family." ”

Yang Siqi put his mind at ease, and then said: "The third is to seek self-preservation. There are two options for this method. ”

"What about the two options?"

"The first option is to strengthen yourself so that you are self-sufficient in everything and no longer need to rely on the kingdom to provide it. But on the surface, he can't rebel against the royal family, which also makes the Ma family loyal and righteous. It's just that this choice is like walking a tightrope, and if you are not careful, the Ma family will be wiped out. ”

To put it bluntly, this choice is to support the army and respect itself, and listen to the tune and not listen to the announcement. This is undoubtedly a curse for the Ma family, and there will be endless troubles, because after all, the royal family has mastered the righteousness, and as long as the Ma family remains in the kingdom, this disaster will not be eliminated.

"What's the second option?"

"Find a way to increase your strength, but more importantly, let the Ma family become independent from the Tiger Kingdom and become a principality, only in this way can the Ma family truly and completely eliminate the disaster, otherwise, the Ma family will always be in danger of being wiped out."

Yang Siqi did not say that the Ma family rebelled, destroyed the Tiger royal family and established himself as the king, because he knew that it was impossible for the Ma family, who had been loyal for generations, to do such a thing, and rebellion would be reproached by all parties here on another planet, because the Ma family had sworn allegiance to the Tiger Kingdom, and now they want to kill the king as the king, which will make the Ma family's thousand-year-old loyalty and reputation lost, which is unacceptable to everyone in the Ma family.

However, if you can become independent from the Tiger Kingdom and establish yourself as a principality, this is not a betrayal, because the duke established a principality independently, which was a common thing thousands of years ago on another planet, even in these thousands of years, there have been several examples, although this choice is not easy, but it can be accepted by the Ma family.

Sure enough, Ma Jiuming touched his beard, thought for a while and said, "It's easy to say, but it's hard to do, will the Tiger Kingdom allow our Ma family to establish a principality independently?" ”

"Definitely not, but with the right planning, it doesn't have to work out." Yang Siqi said very calmly, "Many things are man-made, as long as we plan carefully, but there are also feasible methods, which is the only way we can go." ”

The only way to go, Yang Siqi's sentence Ma Jiuming agreed. In Ma Jiuming's ears, Yang Siqi's analysis is very correct, and the Ma family really only has these three paths to go. But the first one, give up the Pegasus Legion, the Pegasus Legion is equivalent to the Ma family's children, is it possible to give up? The second one is even less so. Sacrificing Ma Mengshi in exchange for the safety of the Ma family, and the Ma family will become a vassal of the royal family in the future, which is unacceptable to the Ma family. Listening to the tune or not listening to the announcement, such a tightrope walking thing is too dangerous, and the only way to do it is to establish a principality.

"What you say is true, but is there any concrete and feasible way?"

Yang Siqi perked up and said: "There is no way, but it is not so easy to do. I'm only about 50% sure that everything needs to be done after the plan begins, depending on how well the plan is completed, but if the plan goes well, there is a good chance that I will be able to achieve my goal. ”

"Tell me about it."

"The first step, our Ma family needs a lot of money, the expansion of the number of troops requires money, the construction of our Ma family's territory requires money, the expansion of armaments requires money, and bribing the officials and nobles of the kingdom and those high-ranking officials of the Bright Empire also need money, money is our foundation, if we don't have enough money, our plan will not be talked about."

Ma Jiuming thought that Yang Siqi would say something, but he didn't expect that what Yang Siqi said was actually a matter of money, and for a while, he didn't know what to say. After a while he said, "You say bribery? ”

Yang Siqi smiled bitterly and said: "Third Grandfather, if you have hair, who wants to be bald?" Isn't there no way I can't help it? Our Ma family has a thousand years of good reputation, and there are many enemies, resulting in few people in the kingdom who speak good things for us, and many people who speak bad things about us, if we don't buy some people, say good things for us in the court, and lower the vigilance of the royal family for us, what else can we do? I'm afraid that the royal family's suppression will come one after another, and all our energy will not be enough to spend on it? So, this kind of thing, we don't want to do, but we have to do it. ”

Yang Siqi thought for a while and then added: "In this world, there are always fewer people and fewer gentlemen, villains speak for profit, those people, if they don't give them benefits, they won't help us say good things." For the sake of our Ma family's great cause, we have to do it. ”
