Episode 32 The Dust Settles Chapter 6 The Rebirth of the Empire (Part II) The book ends

Previous Chapter

When Lin Rui saw Zichuan Xiu again, the atmosphere of the meeting was not very tense, but very peaceful. Zi Chuanxiu personally went out of the room to greet him and shook hands with Lin Rui: "Welcome, welcome, the Zong family is coming to the imperial capital, and I haven't been able to welcome you far away, forgive me for being rude." ”

"Where, I came recklessly and disturbed Your Majesty. ”

Lin Rui looked at the head of the Zichuan family in front of him. is very different from Danya's leadership two years ago, Zi Chuanxiu's temperament is deeper and his eyes are more profound. Although he was still dressed in ordinary military civilian clothes, the eye-catching white hair deeply reminded Lin Rui of how the youngest white-handed usurper in history had paid a heavy price to reach his current status.

In the greetings, Lin Rui first congratulated Zichuan Xiu on his appointment as the head of the family, saying that it was a great joy for the people of the two countries to have a friendly person like His Majesty Xiuchuan as the head of the family.

Zi Chuanxiu smiled faintly and was noncommittal.

"When I was in Danya, I saw Your Majesty's demeanor with my own eyes, and I dared to predict that Your Majesty would be an extraordinary person who could control the world! However, at that time, I could never have imagined that Your Majesty was heroic and peerless, rose rapidly, and achieved hegemony in just two years. Such a feat, I am afraid that it is the ancients in the past, and there is no one in the future!"

Zichuan Xiu smiled faintly: "The Zong family has a reputation. When I was the commander of the Black Flag Army, you helped me a lot, and I remember this. ”

"It's good if you remember!" Lin Ruixin said, but waved his hand freely: "Why worry about some small things, why should Your Majesty worry about it? It is really a great honor for my Heqiu Lin clan to be able to contribute to His Majesty's hegemony." ”

"The Lin family's help to me is self-interest, and I dare not be ungrateful, but the Lin family's harm to my country. That is a public enemy, Zichuan Xiu is not talented, since he was enthroned by the former chief Chan, he is entrusted by his family and the people, but he does not dare to abolish the public because of his private interests, and he wants to seek justice for the country. ”

I know the main topic is coming. Lin Rui's face was sad, and he said in a deep voice: "Some time ago, the situation was chaotic and a lot of things happened. If we say that we have inadvertently caused some damage to your country. There is some misunderstanding between the two countries, and it is also possible. I don't know what Your Majesty is referring to? Perhaps there is some misunderstanding, but let me explain a thing or two to Your Majesty. ”

"In February last year, why did your ** team invade the southwest of our country?"

"This, it's really a misunderstanding. In January last year, there was a rebellion in your country, and your country's monarch was His Highness. There are also important ministers such as Lord Luo Minghai and Lord Sterling who were killed one after another, and the rebel party Di Lin controlled the country. Because your two countries are always friendly countries, in order to help your country quell the rebellion, our ** team marched into the southwest of your country to help your country eliminate the rebel party and restore order in your country.

It's a pity. The rebels were strong, but I was weak, and although I tried my best to fight, I was defeated in the end. Fortunately, His Majesty was heroic and powerful, and the Far Eastern Heavenly Soldiers swept through the southeast and finally defeated the rebellion. Although our country was defeated, it also helped to consume some of the rebels' troops, which can be regarded as helping Your Majesty on the side. "Why did the Lin family contain our wanted war criminal Ma Wei? Why did they send this person to massacre the soldiers and civilians on our border? Shed my innocent blood?"

Lin Rui got up and bowed deeply: "In this matter, we are indeed sorry for your country." Back then, Ma Wei came to vote under a pseudonym, and we didn't know his identity, so we let him blend in with my Heqiu army. It's just that this guy has some skills, and he is even better at rhetoric, but somehow he was deceived into a high position---- I will definitely punish the rice buckets in the security department when I go back---- of course, the Lin family government is not strict in supervision. Unknown acquaintance. This is our fault, and we will not shirk our responsibility. Reparations due to your country. We will pay for it. ”

"Your country attacked and killed our country's Inspector General Di Lin, what happened to that?"

"This matter is also Ma Weidi's opinion, and it has nothing to do with the Lin Clan Elders' Association. It is said that Ma Wei and Di Lin have a personal vendetta, and when he heard that Di Lin was defeated and fled to the southwest, he transferred his subordinates to attack ---- but Di Lin is a traitor to your country, right?

"Who said Dilin was a traitor?"

"This, some time ago, I saw that your country's announcement said......"

Zi Chuanxiu remained silent: "Zong family, you are wrong. I'm the head of the family, and I don't think Dillin is a traitor. Do you have any opinions?" Lin Rui smiled helplessly. The traitor of the Zichuan family, of course, is decided by the head of the Zichuan family. Back then, Zichuan Shenxing was able to beat Zichuan Xiu into a traitor, and in a blink of an eye, he made him a national hero, and now it is Zichuan Xiu's turn to be the commander, of course, he also has the right to give Di Lin a coffin.

"Loyal family soldiers, heroes defending human civilization, outstanding military commanders, meritorious generals, loyal inspectors general Lord Di Lin was inspecting the southwest border, encountered a shameless sneak attack by the Lin family bandits, unfortunately died heroically on February 787, heroic through the ages, the family posthumously named Wu'an---- this is our country's official evaluation of Di Lin, ready to be announced to the outside world, what do you think?"

Lin Rui shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Your Majesty, Zichuan's matter, naturally you have the final say, I dare not have any objections." ”

"Zong family, once it was an accident, twice it was a coincidence, and the third time was a malicious incident. The Lin family has repeatedly invaded our country, occupied our territory, killed our people, and murdered our country's meritorious generals, and this series of incidents proves that your country has deep hostility and malice towards our country. The very existence of your country is a great threat to my country. ”

The smile on Lin Rui's face stiffened, he restrained his smile and sat up straight. At this moment, the dignity and arrogance of the descendants of the Bright Dynasty returned to him. He looked directly at Zi Chuanxiu and spoke very slowly, as if every word had a thousand weights: "Your Majesty, can I understand this sentence as a declaration of war?"

Zi Chuanxiu smiled: "What is it?

"Your Majesty, although the Lin family is a weak country, our royal family is descended from the Bright Empire, and we also have our dignity and persistence. Although our country did not perform well in the last war, Your Majesty asks me not to despise my country for this. The last war was, at best, a large-scale border encounter, not a true manifestation of our country's strength.

If your country really intends to destroy us, our **people will tell Your Majesty with practical actions how cruel and resolute resistance a nation that has no way to retreat will do. ^^^^

Moreover, Your Majesty must not forget. Our country is blessed by the sword of His Royal Highness King Ming. Your Majesty has just ascended the throne, and there are decades of good time to enjoy in the future, and I advise Your Majesty that it is best not to risk your life. Millions of male teachers may not be able to block a peerless sword, and the old things of the past. It may be a precedent for His Majesty. ”

"Oh, when His Excellency Di Lin was at war with your country last year, why didn't His Royal Highness King Ming make a move?"

"His Royal Highness King Ming is a master of the world, and of course his old man will not go out for ordinary human affairs. But if it is a crisis related to the survival of the Bright Imperial Family, it is a different matter. After all. His old man promised to protect the Lin family's royal land. ”

"What if both sides of the battle are descendants of light? Zong family, you are so sure that His Royal Highness King Ming will definitely stand on the side of the river hill?"

For the first time, Zi Chuanxiu saw panic on Lin Rui's eternally calm face. He lost his voice and said, "Your Majesty, what do you mean?"

"What I mean, you should have known it a long time ago. On the demon side, they all call me the Emperor of Light. Someone called me the Blood-Eyed Emperor. ”

Lin Rui fell silent. After a long time, he slowly spoke up: "Your Majesty, please tell me your conditions." As long as we don't destroy our country and ensure the inheritance of our royal family, we can discuss it. ”

"First, all the murderers of Dillin. Severe punishment must be meted out. Mavi, a war criminal, must be extradited to our country. ”

This is what everyone expected, so Lin Rui agreed very cheerfully: "Follow your will." Mavi and his men will be executed. You can rest assured, Ma Wei and his comrades have all been controlled by our Lin family government, with a total of 5,228 people, as long as you give an order, all of them will fall to the ground. ”

"Article 2, as a punishment for the massacre of our innocent soldiers and civilians by your government and the murder of our Inspector General in the last war. Your country is required to pay a one-time compensation of 300 tons of gold to our country. Furthermore, in the future, your country will be required to pay our country fifty tons of gold --- or its equivalent on January 1 of each year as a pension for the support of the families of our victims. The payment deadline is tentatively set at 100 years. At that time, it is estimated that the relatives of the victims will also be dead, and our country is a big country that preaches morality and trust. Your country will not be burdened with this burden forever. ”

Lin Rui's face turned pale. He raised his hand: "Your Majesty." I have an objection: In the last war, your country probably did no less than Ma Wei in massacring our soldiers and civilians? Since Your Majesty claims to be a moral power. Where is your country's reparations?"

Zi Chuanxiu rolled her eyes: "That's what the Di Lin rebels did, you go to Di Lin and ask." Lin Rui was almost so angry that he fainted: "Your Majesty, didn't you just say that Di Lin is still the inspector general of your country? Why did he become a rebel again? How could you go back on your word like this?"

"Alas, Zong family, why are you so ...... I'm embarrassed to say this, because as the leader of a country, you can't meet people if your comprehension is too low! Our country is a responsible and moral power, and naturally it will not regret its friends. But why don't you understand such a simple matter? Between January last year and January this year, Di Lin and his subordinates rebelled, during this period, they were rebels, and the family government naturally did not have to be responsible for their actions---- do you understand?"

Lin Rui nodded silently.

"On January 4 of this year, Dilin was defeated by our army at Bartley, and you must have heard of this incident. After the defeat, Di Lin repented and ordered the entire army to surrender to the king's division. His Royal Highness Zi Chuanning, the former chief of our country, was tolerant and ordered an amnesty for all the rebels, so from January 5 this year, Di Lin reinstated his identity as the chief inspector of our country, and when he inspected the southwest border, he was unfortunately murdered by your ** team in February---- so, do you understand?"

Lin Rui was speechless. Zi Chuanxiu is messing around, but his statement is logically self-justifying---- of course, it doesn't mean that Lin Rui can't refute this statement, but now, who can argue with this emperor who has terrifying power? The other party just needs an excuse.

He said with difficulty: "Your Majesty, the amount of compensation demanded by your country is too huge for our country to pay. For the sake of the past, please raise your noble hand. ”

"Zong family, don't worry, since our country has put forward this plan, it will naturally consider your country's situation. In anticipation of the possibility of financial difficulties in your country, we have also thought of solutions for your country. ”

"Your Majesty?"

"We have estimated that your country has 500,000 troops, and the annual military expenditure is probably no less than 30 billion silver coins, right? As long as your country cuts off all the troops, leaving only the police to maintain order. The saved military expenses will be more than enough to pay the annual reparations. The Heqiu Lin clan solves the armament, which is the third condition of our country. ”

"Solve the armament?!Your Majesty, you are also too deceitful!"

Zichuan Xiu asked rhetorically: "Why not? What is the purpose of Heqiu's insistence on having a strong army? Do you still want to threaten our country?"

"How can our weak military strength pose a threat to your country? Our army is entirely for self-preservation, and without an army, how can we guard against the invasion of the Wanderers and the Maritime Bandits?"

"Zongjia, you can rest assured! In order to relieve your country's worries. At the invitation of your Government, we will send troops to your country's vital areas to defend your cities and borders. Our country's troops are fully capable of maintaining peace and tranquility throughout the Heqiu, and I ask the Zong family to believe in our combat effectiveness. They will prove it to you!"

Looking at Lin Rui Tieqing's face, Zi Chuanxiu added leisurely: "Of course, His Royal Highness Liufeng Shuang also agrees with my country's disposition. She believes that there should be order for peace on the mainland, and that a strong country has the obligation to protect a weak country. With the assurance of His Highness Wind and Frost, your country will never be harassed by the Flowing Wind Family as it has been before. ”

So Lin Rui's face turned pale again. In the past, the Lin family was able to dominate the mainland's political structure. It is completely thanks to the hostility between the flowing wind and the Zichuan family, the two strong face each other, and the weaker Lin family can be left and right in it, and adapt to the situation. But now, Liufeng is not only weak in division, but its powerful faction Liufeng Frost also has a tendency to unite with the Zichuan family. This is tantamount to a devastating blow to the Lin family.

Lin Rui was silent, his face changing. After a long time, he asked out loud with difficulty: "Your Majesty, is there no room for negotiation with these conditions?"

Zi Chuanxiu looked directly at Lin Rui and said very calmly: "There is no room, no discount." Zongjia. There are not many choices in your country, either accept or destroy. In fact, if I had done so, I would have preferred your country to reject these conditions. ”

"Your Majesty, the Heqiu Lin clan has not treated you badly, and we have even helped you. Why are you so harsh on our country? It's going to put us in a doom!"

"Zong family, this is up to you Heqiu yourself. Something. Although you think you are doing something very secretively, you may not be able to hide it from everyone. The Lin clan is too rich, and such a huge wealth is in the hands of a group of people who are good at trickery and conspiracy, and the threat to us is too great, and neither I nor His Highness Fengshuang can rest assured. According to what the Lin family has done, the choice I can give you is already taking into account the past friendship and giving the greatest tolerance. If we want to be at ease, the Lin family will either remove your money, or disappear with your money. ”

Lin Rui smiled bitterly and shook his head: "I knew today, we should have ...... back then" He paused, just looked at Zi Chuanxiu's eyes full of regret.

"Yes, in the situation back then, it was really easy for the Zong family to get rid of me. But why did you show mercy? I still don't understand. ”

"Your Majesty, eggs can't be put in one basket, and the bloodline of the Bright Dynasty can't be inherited by Heqiu alone. We hope that with a secret branch like yours outside, even if the river hill is suddenly wiped out, the lineage of the Lin clan can still be passed on and will not be severed. But who would have expected that the loss of the branch veins in other places would suddenly grow stronger, but it would suffocate the vitality of the family, which was really unpredictable. ”

Knowing that it was irresistible now, Lin Rui let go, regained his usual demeanor and bearing, and sighed calmly.

Zi Chuanxiu said sincerely: "Zong family, business is business, but in terms of personal feelings, I don't have a bad feeling towards you, but I am very grateful." The previous things are gone, and I can ignore them. However, in the future, the Lin family had better keep to themselves, no longer have much to do, and don't embarrass me. Lin Rui smiled and bowed deeply: "Since His Majesty has ascended the throne, the world is about to be unified, three hundred years later, it is still the Bright Emperor Lin Clan who sits in this position, and we have nothing to complain about, so why bother with many things? After so many things, I believe more and more that some things are indeed done by the will of God and His Majesty." Please rest assured, Your Majesty, the Heqiu Lin clan will never dare to disobey the mandate of heaven. Your conditions, our country will accept them in its entirety. ”

Lin Rui said that he believed in the destiny of heaven, and Zichuan Xiu deeply resonated. At this moment, he thought of the toughness and bloodiness of the 10,000-year-old defenders, the black frenzy of the Eastern Great Wilderness Barbarian Beast Clan. The splendid civilization of the gods, passed down from generation to generation, the hustle and bustle of the Blue River Plain, the sunset and dusk of the empire...... Bright Lin, the thirteenth defender, has been in constant pursuit of hegemony for 10,000 years. An immortal dynasty forged by the sea of corpses and blood.

The Contemporary Emperor of Light said solemnly: "In this way, I am very pleased. ”

Six months later, the Holy Spirit Temple of the Zichuan family.

The black and white granite floors and the majestic temple are set against a backdrop of verdant pines and cypresses. The bright red flying eagle battle flag, the plaque of "the mighty spirit lasts forever, and the eternal fragrance is eternal". Although the outside world is changing, there are some places that are not affected by the world. The ruler of the country has changed, but the Holy Spirit Temple still retains its unique solemn atmosphere, just like the first time Shikawa Shu stepped in. In front of Stirling's stele, Shikawa stood quietly. Silently communicating with the undead of his friends.

"Second brother, today is your birthday, and I'm here to see you. Are you okay these days? There's one thing I'm embarrassed to come to see you. Because I became the head of the Zichuan family. I know, you will blame me, you have always been loyal to the Zichuan family, but I really can't push it off! A-Ning she refused to do it, she wanted to push it to me, and the Senate also forced me, and there were many people who came to say that I couldn't do it, otherwise they wouldn't live---- good. I admit that I am hypocritical and despicable, but in fact, I also kind of want to do it, after all, the chief officer sounds more powerful than the president...... You forgive me? If you don't say anything, I'll forgive me! Hmph, I'm Raippi, what can you do?"

Shikawa Xiu moved his gaze to the spirit seat next to Sterling's spirit seat. It is different from other white marble spiritual bits. This tombstone is made of black marble, and it reads: "Zichuan Jiayuan Inspector General Di Lin".

"Big brother. I've taken care of your great enemy. Ma Wei and his henchmen have all been sent to the Imperial Capital, and I have handed them over to your old department, Baixia, to deal with. I don't know exactly how Ma Wei died, but I heard that Bai Xia killed him for a week...... Speaking of which, your Supervision Office is still an expert!

Your coffin has also been moved into the Holy Spirit Temple, and it is with your second brother's coffin. Because of this, the patriarchs quarreled all over the world, saying that how could a great traitor enter the Holy Spirit Temple? Later, when the quarrel became so great, I became angry: Are you the chief or am I the chief chief? Do you want me to give up your position? They immediately changed their words, saying that you still have a lot of achievements in your life, big brother, fighting demons, protecting the emperor, although you made a mistake in the end, but after all, you have spent most of your life doing good deeds, and your merits outweigh your faults, and you are also qualified to enter the Holy Spirit Temple.

Big brother, don't worry, I know what you care about the most, sister-in-law Xiujia and Didi, I have found it. You are so cunning, you hid them in such a remote place, and it was so hard for me to find them. You want them to live a peaceful life by hiding their identities, so I didn't alarm them, but just sent someone to protect them secretly. Don't worry, when Didi grows up, I will arrange for him to receive the best education, and tell him in person that his father is the hero of the world.

What do you want Didi to do in the future? a heroic general like you, or a very literate scholar, or let him be a nobleman or an official in the future--- this is my ideal in life!

Don't worry, big brother, it's still early, there are still more than ten years, we can think slowly.

Big brother, second brother, there's one thing that has bothered me a lot lately, and that's my marriage--- I knew you two would make this expression! Second brother may not know that Princess Frost is my girlfriend. Recently, she expressed her willingness to marry our Zichuan family through formal diplomatic channels, saying that this is for the peaceful reunification of ----the mainland, and she is willing to marry my eldest brother, I know what you want to say, you are going to pout: This pair of dog men and women are faking again! Obviously they are in love with adultery, and they pretend to sacrifice in the line of duty! This matter was originally top secret, but somehow it spread out---- I suspect that it was the girl Fengshuang who let the wind out by herself---- and now it has made a sensation, the senators, The Command, everyone has everything they say. Some people agree, saying that if the Zichuan family marries with the wind and frost, then there will be no resistance in the world, and the reunification of the mainland will be very soon; some people are opposed, cough cough---- this is not my narcissism---- Li Qing's sister-in-law came to me and said that A-Ning was so worried that she didn't close her eyes all night, and she cried for most of the night, and her eyes were red.

I pity A-Ning very much, and I feel very unbearable. I have always known her feelings for me for so many years.

The staff of the command office helped me analyze, saying that marrying Liu Fengshuang is conducive to me to dominate the world, and marrying Zi Chuanning is conducive to winning people's hearts. Consolidate the foundation of the new regime. I asked, "Which one should I marry?" These fellows have all become mute, and when I am forced to do so, I say, "This matter can only be left to His Majesty's Judgment." I'm really angry, I have a bunch of rice buckets! I finally understand why Zichuan Shenxing hated me so much back then, which boss doesn't hate the salary thieves under him?

"I really can't make up my mind about this. Big brother, second brother. Help me to come up with an idea, tell me, who should I marry? If the incense floats to the left, it is to marry the wind and frost, and if it goes to the right. That is to marry Zi Chuanning...... Huh? Am I dazzled? Why does this incense drift half to the left and half to the right? Do you want to tell me--- both of them are married? This is too exaggerated...... Alas, in order to stabilize the domestic situation and unify the continent, then I had to make sacrifices......

"Why did the incense burner suddenly fall down? Which of you is angry? It must be the second brother, he has always been a hypocrisy. Hum. This kind of thing, men think about it, don't you have Li Qing to provoke Cardin again...... Okay, okay, I won't say it, I won't say it! Second brother, you don't need to be so exaggerated in your manifestations. The poured incense burner stood up again!"

Zichuan Xiu smiled, but tears slowly overflowed from the eyes of the young head of the Zichuan family, blurring his eyes, and in the haze, two heroic men were smiling at him.

"Big brother, second brother, if you can survive, then I'd rather not be this chief. I don't do this presidential leader, not even the King of Light and the Far Eastern Commander. The three of us were hooligans on the streets of the imperial capital, eating, drinking, and having fun, playing hide and seek with the subordinates, and messing around in the military academy, how nice it was.

"Second brother, today is your birthday. Happy birthday to you! I'll come back to see you. With your eldest brother with you, you're no longer lonely, are you? You must sneak away to drink the overlord bar that doesn't cost money? There must be a lot of beautiful girls in heaven, right? It's really unjust, you all went over there, but you left me here alone...... Alone here......"

Wiped away his tears and incensed both Sterling and Dilin, Zichuan Xiu bowed deeply and turned to leave.

When he walked out of the tomb, he stopped: a pretty woman with a plain white body stood in front of him, it was Princess Cardan, the former empress of the Demon Kingdom. She held a bouquet of white lilies in her arms, and a toddler in her hand.

Seeing Zi Chuanxiu, the princess was stunned for a moment and bowed deeply: "See Your Majesty." Your Majesty St. Ann. ”

Zi Chuanxiu nodded in return: "Cardin, long time no see." You're here to ......" Seeing the bouquet in Cardin's hand, he suddenly realized that the other party, like himself, had come to accompany Sterling for his birthday.

Zi Chuanxiu's first thought was: "Li Qing doesn't want to come to sweep the tomb at this time!" Then, he felt ridiculous again, the Stirling people have gone, is there anyone still caring about those old things?

He said vaguely, "I just came out." Go in, there's no one in there. ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty. ”

"Cardin, we are also acquaintances, why are you so restrained? I rarely see you these days, and you can come to see me more often when you have time, I haven't seen you for a long time, and everyone is unfamiliar...... Okay, I'll go first, so that you don't feel comfortable, you can do it yourself. ”

As he spoke, Zi Chuanxiu walked out, and he was almost at the door, when he suddenly stopped, and a puzzled expression appeared on his face. Then, he turned abruptly: "Cardin!"

Cardin stopped: "What does Your Majesty command?"

Zi Chuanxiu looked at the child led by Cardin, he leaned down, carefully studied the child's face, caressing his eyebrows, contours, eyes, and nose...... The more he looked excited, the more excited he was, his whole body trembled, and the child was so frightened that he cried "wow".

"What's his name?"

"His name is Yunlin...... Xiao Yunlin, be good, don't be afraid, don't cry, say hello to Your Majesty. ”

Before the childish child could wipe the tears from his face, he shouted timidly, "Your Majesty is good." ”

Zi Chuanxiu's heart was ecstatic: This eyebrow, this look, is exactly the same as when he was a child!

Zi Chuanxiu raised his head and asked Cardin in a trembling voice: "Is this kid ...... However, the time is not right!"

Cardin's face turned red, and he glanced at Zi Chuanxiu. After a long while, she whispered, "Your Majesty, the pregnancy cycle of a royal woman is longer than that of human beings...... Much longer. ”

Shikawa Xiu breathed a long sigh of relief. The joy in my heart was so great that I was about to overflow: "Sure enough, the heavens are endlessly good." Stirling has been loyal and selfless all his life, how could God let such a person have no queen!"

He squatted down and said to the child kindly: "Don't call me Your Majesty, call me the third uncle, call the third uncle." That's right, the third uncle is good! It's so good, what does Xiao Yunlin like to eat, the third uncle will buy it for you!"

The child said in a milky voice, "Mother said that you are not allowed to eat other people's things." ”

Zichuan Xiu smiled dumbly. It's so similar, even this serious temperament is similar. He complained to Cardin, "Why didn't you say it earlier, let him inherit the title of Stirling, how good would it be!"

As soon as the words came out, he faintly felt that something was inappropriate: How can he explain such words to Li Qing? How can he explain to the world? If it is made public, will it damage Sterling's reputation after he has a relationship with the princess of the demon clan?

Cardin is empathetic. She smiled: "The Ka clan and the Yun clan are both famous families in the kingdom, so they may not be worse than the Duke of Zichuan Jiadi." His Majesty's heart, Weichen understood it. ”

She looked at the child in her hand lovingly, and said affectionately: "This child, he has the blood of the best general of mankind and the most powerful royal family of the God Clan, and he could have been the emperor of the kingdom." It's a pity ......" She glanced at Zichuan Xiu, and there was a deep meaning in her eyes. Zi Chuan Xiu smiled: "Princess, don't worry. When he grows up, the position of governor of the Far East will be his, and his future will be bright. Cardan Yingying knelt down: "Thank you, Your Majesty, Xiao Yunlin, kneel down quickly, kowtow to Your Majesty and thank you." ”

Helped up Xiao Yunlin and faced this young life. It was as if he saw young Sterling, and he also saw himself as a child. He had a lot to say, but he didn't know how to say it, and he was full of emotion, and finally he could only turn into a long sigh: "It's really a blink of an eye, time is like flowing water." Cardin, we're all old. ”

The princess of the Demon Kingdom smiled and lowered her eyes: "Your Highness is in the prime of her youth. How can you talk about old age? I've heard that. Recently, His Royal Highness Ning and the princess of the Liufeng family were interested in ...... Your Highness is very blessed!"

"Alas, Cardin. Don't mention this, I've been annoyed lately. You say, what should I do?"

"This is a lifelong event of Your Majesty, it is related to the rise and fall of the family and the country, and the micro-ministers are only shallow in their wisdom, how dare they talk more? ”

"Why do you say the same thing as my staff? We're old friends, can you help me with ideas?"

Since this is the case, Weichen has the courage to talk a lot: Weichen has a slight friendship with His Royal Highness Ning, so he naturally hopes that His Majesty can marry His Highness Ning, after all, His Majesty and His Royal Highness Ning have also had a relationship for many years. But who His Majesty wants to marry, this is even more necessary to ask His Majesty who he wants. If even His Majesty doesn't know his own intentions, how can Wechen suggest it? But if His Majesty really can't make a choice, Wechen suggests that you go to the kingdom and observe the customs, human feelings, and traditions of the Protoss......"

When he said the word "traditional", Cardin accentuated his tone and smiled. Seeing Zi Chuan Xiu thoughtful, she lowered her voice and leaned close to Zi Chuan Xiu's ear: "My father, Emperor Carter, has eleven imperial concubines, and my grandfather has twenty-one imperial concubines...... Your Majesty, you are not only the Emperor of the Human Land, but also the Emperor of our Protoss, how can you be inferior to the Emperor of the Ancestors?"

Cardin winked mischievously, revealing a sly expression. At this moment, she seemed to have become the smart and clever girl princess again: "Okay, Weichen is an irresponsible suggestion, Your Majesty must not take it seriously, otherwise the future queen will make trouble for Weichen." By the way, when His Royal Highness really gets married, I hope you don't forget to give Weichen a post!" "Cardin, you bad-hearted ...... What a bad idea!"

Zi Chuanxiu shook his head with a wry smile, he squatted down, looked at Yun Lin's handsome and childish face, and his heart was surging: "Child, I can't watch you grow up strong and healthy with my own eyes, and I am glad to see you grow up, and teach you to practice swords, write and read hand in hand, this is your father's biggest regret, and it is also his dereliction of duty." But child, don't blame him.

"Your father, and many uncles and uncles, have used blood and steel to reforge order and bring peace to a chaotic world, to turn swords into ploughshares, to bring civilization to savages, and to replace barrenness with prosperity. Iron will, sacrifice and self-sacrifice are the natural mission of our generation, and the stories of those heroes and heroes will become legends in your time.
