Chapter 5: Rifts and Antagonisms (Part I)
"As far as I know, doesn't Grand Duke Dorot only have three daughters?, where did the fourth princess come from?" Liu Zhenzhen frowned slightly.
"Before his death, the Grand Duke of Dolot just accepted a nominee, which is no problem, and it is also reasonable from the legal point of view of the San Francisco Empire, but this princess does not have the right to inherit the title of Duke of Dolot. Mourinho reached out and wiped his long hair, explaining slowly.
This is the same as the Chinese system of harmony, in order to avoid war, the emperors of the Central Plains Empire chose to intermarry and reconcile with the foreign rulers of the frontier, stop the war, abandon the grudges, and instead establish a peaceful, friendly, and friendly relationship between the two countries.
Harmony is a political means, since the Han Dynasty, only the Ming Dynasty has not been used in the official, right and wrong are mixed, at least in terms of integrity.
Whether the princesses who are close to each other are all real, this is not necessarily, at least in the official identity, they are princesses, as for what happened to them after the kiss, basically no one cares. The famous Sui clan daughter Yicheng Princess, served four generations of khans, these four people are father and son, brothers, which are bitter and unbearable, and outsiders do not know.
Politics has always been cold-blooded, only talking about interests, not feelings, and behind a conflict and reconciliation may be the fragmentation of thousands of families.
The Duchy of Dolot has found a daughter to marry Lao Liu, which is theoretically correct. After all, before the "Tornado" mercenary group invaded Fei Lengcui, although there were two behemoths of the San Francisco Empire and the Pompeii Empire standing faintly, the official army of the Duchy of Dolot never came forward. From this point it can be explained that the previous action was a folk act.
And Richard Shocking Liu was just a newly recognized war priest in the northeastern temple of the Beamon Kingdom, and even his territory of Fei Lengcui was a small circle on the map of the Beamon Kingdom a few months ago on the Danube Wilderness: along the south of the crossing of the Sangan River, with a radius of red soil slopes, stretching five hundred miles towards Dolot. The expectation that everyone gave Lao Liu was to maintain the number of 1,000 territorial people and keep the title of lord.
Therefore, although the name of the Emerald is good, it is actually the heart of the Danube Wilderness, the border of the Kingdom of Beamon, and the buffer zone of the Duchy of Dolot.
It was a barren land in the interior of the wasteland, where goblins and ogre bandits were most rampant.
Lao Liu was sealed here by the temple, obviously he was squeezed out by the Northeast Temple, and threw him to this big wasteland where there are no people, no people, no city walls, and no birds that don't under the protection of the Beamon army to be a single lord, so that he can fend for himself.
However, the world is unpredictable, where would anyone think that after Liu Zhenzhen, a rough man who does not play cards according to common sense, arrived in this wasteland, relying on his unique personal charm, he gathered a group of strong men, three fists and two feet, and ruled with an iron fist, sweeping away this barbaric area in one fell swoop.
What goblin robbers, ogre tribes, razor mountain bandits, human luxury slave hunting groups and even 10,000 mercenary groups, and holy land paladins were all submerged under Lao Liu in the end. No one expected that this small sacrifice of the Pige tribe that came out of nowhere would actually fight a record that the group army of the Beamon Kingdom did not have with a patchwork of militia.
After a series of splendors, the name of the Emerald resounded in the Danube. For the first time, the Beamon Kingdom finally rightfully occupied this frontier position against the Human Empire, which made Liu Zhenzhen, a small person, fall into the eyes of the three bigwigs of the Beamon Kingdom's royal army, the noble elders' house, and the temple sacrifice.
And now the news of Princess Dolote's marriage from the mouth of Mourinho is the confirmation of the fact that the Human Empire officially recognizes the possession of the Danube by the Kingdom of Bimon.
Although the unknown duke's daughter is not an imperial princess in the true sense of the word, you Richard are not Prince Beamon, are you?
In modern society, as long as an inconspicuous Chinese person marries a princess of a small African country, he automatically lays a base for the motherland overseas, and this base is also recognized by the world community as a region with a certain degree of sovereignty.
If you don't want to do this kind of thing, there will naturally be superiors who will force you to do it.
Interestingly, Lu Xihua smiled and picked up a wine glass made of bamboo tubes, and touched a glass with a Boer minotaur blacksmith next to him and their leader, the Boer snail man Yankov, and drank the wine in the glass in one gulp.
The dining table where Lu Xihua was located was a certain distance from Liu Zhenzhen's main table, and ordinary Beamon naturally couldn't hear the conversation of the adults, so what happened over there did not affect the enthusiasm here at all.
With a volute on his back, a one-meter-sized heavy shell that occupies almost two-thirds of the snail's size, it was hard to imagine that this diminutive Boer snail man would be the leader of a group of two-meter-tall rough men next to him.
Bimeng is strong, but there are not many brains, and the smart ones are often not burly, and they do not have an advantage in strength, which can be regarded as a balance of God. Therefore, the minotaur blacksmith, who has no strength, can only complete the various tasks assigned by Lord Richard under the leadership of the snail man Yankov.
Although Yankov is a small minotaur, he doesn't drink at all, and he doesn't have the courage of an ordinary minotaur, who drinks boldly, drinks dry, and treats wine like water. After a few bites, the person drifted a little, pulling Lu Xihua, the newcomer, and kept talking about what happened to him before.
Before Yankov met Liu Zhenzhen, he was just a snail begging for food in the city next to Withers, the capital of the northeastern province of the Kingdom of Beamon. Their natural physical disadvantage makes it difficult for the Snail People to find their rightful place among the Beamon tribe, which has always had a very difficult life, because they have the name of Minotaurs, but they are short, slow-moving, and weak-strengthening, and they are simply useless.
Since meeting Lao Liu, their fate has changed and they have their own value.
Therefore, after drinking a little wine, the snail man Yankov kept feeling his luck and said in front of Lu Xihua that the lord was good. In his eyes, Lu Xihua is a newcomer who came from afar to join the Fei Lengcui family.
This is a good phenomenon, and any country and territory needs to be constantly joined by new blood, which proves that they are starting to be attractive, even if it was a barren land before, even if they are just a group of militias.
"It's impossible to marry anyone to marry me, right?" Liu Zhenzhen shook the rum in his hand calmly, he was still nostalgic for the earth's fine wine, rum was delicious, but it didn't have the mellow flavor of liquor, he had a bunch of wine barrels under his hand, and he didn't know how much liquor to consume every day, so it was best to buy it from Lu Xihua, "It should be the lion and tiger prince who married our kingdom, and they are a good match." ”
"The truth is indeed such a truth, as for whether it is so publicized at that time, it is an official matter of Dorot, anyway, no human being is stupid enough to really come to the Beamon Kingdom to verify this matter. It doesn't matter if the fourth princess says about this, but we have the final say with the current archduchess of Dolot. If a hero who defeated them doesn't marry, who else does this fourth princess want to marry?" Lord Mourinho's handsome face was full of envious smiles, "I heard that this fourth princess Dorot is a first-class human beauty, which is something that other Beamon can't enjoy, and finally it doesn't insult your talent and character." Richard, my disciple, I am very proud of you from the bottom of my heart. ”
Humans look down on Beamon and treat them as beasts, and it can be said that there must be some of the Beamon royal family and nobles who secretly collect human maids, but this kind of open political marriage with the Principality of Humanity is indeed the first time that it has been officially endorsed by both sides. At this point, human beings are definitely giving Bi a mask, because anyone can see that Liu Zhenzhen's potential is endless.
It's not good, it's still quietly planting a nail between Liu Zhenzhen and Beamon's official. Sealed to the wilderness as a lord, the army is all recruited by itself, and the human race has long guessed that the relationship between the Lord of Fei Leng Cui and the official Beamon is not very harmonious, and now that he can't fight, he naturally wants to intervene from other aspects.
Marrying a titular human princess, no one suffers, there is a princess to marry, maybe subtly, as soon as the pillow wind blows, the heroic Lord Richard can crook his ass at a critical moment?
Of course, no one is stupid, and Mourinho has seen it very thoroughly, do you want to send the human princess over? Very good, people and things, I took them, and the rest of Richard said it didn't count. After all, Richard is still a Beamon, and he is a relatively low-status race, who can't win over, human beings really underestimate Beamon's means. In Beamon's blood, glory is always more practical than money and beauty.
Liu's shocked eyes narrowed, and Lao Liu knew that he was now facing an important choice, and it appeared now.
"I've even brought you the title of the Temple Cardinal High Priest. As a priest, you should know what the marriage of the cardinal high priest means? The Lord Priest looked at Liu's shocking silence, smiled and beckoned, and immediately a female elf in a moon robe handed over a booklet with a golden cover.
The kingdom of Beamon is the royal family, the elders, and the temple contain each other, and the cardinal high priest of the temple is the supreme ruler of the temple. Not to mention that the red-clothed high priest is the servant of the god of war, and he can be regarded as the messenger of the god of war walking in the world, of course, the one with the highest position, and his edict can also be said to be the blessing of the god of war, which is a great thing in the Beamon Empire, where the whole people believe in the god of war.
"I'm already married. Liu Zhenzhen shrugged his shoulders and didn't even glance at the golden book on the table, he had already decided something.
"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter~" The Lord Priest stretched out his right hand and pressed it on the golden book, and his index finger gently touched the surface of the book little by little.
"Oh, why do you say that?" Liu Zhenzhen snapped his fingers, and immediately a lit cigar was brought to his mouth. Guoguo and the little parrot also competed for a cigar, and Lao Liu had already replaced the cigar he smoked with the Cuban cigar brought by Lu Xihua, and the mellow taste conquered the taste buds, and even Guoguo liked it. Lao Liu treats it as a son, and it is naturally a good thing to use at home first.
"Richard, the importance of this matter to the kingdom is self-evident, and I believe you know it. This will bring peace to the kingdom for a long time, at least on the official surface, and if there is a conflict, it will be a small conflict between the people in private, and it will not be magnified on the table. After the peace of the two countries, the trade between the two countries will be opened up one after another, and you will be erected as a statue and erected in the temple, which will be remembered by all the sacrifices in the future. ”
When the chief priest said this, he raised the wine glass in his hand, "In the future, you can enjoy the full and leisurely life brought by the human princess and live a peaceful life not as a priest, but as a duke, just like those noble patriarchs." The temple will give you a title of honor, you are really happy, and you will be able to say goodbye to this situation of fighting and killing in no time. Ha ha... Come on, come on... Let me toast you for this wonderful day. ”
"If I can't be a sacrifice after getting married?" What does this mean?" Liu Zhenzhen smiled and whistled, really thinking that he was a mallet? How can a tree without roots last long? After three or five years, he has no use value, and he is afraid that he will find a reason to get himself.
This kind of thing will definitely happen, politics is ruthless, let useless people occupy positions, it's better to kick them away, he himself is such a person, he can only use it if he can have a role, and he can't use it to support the elderly. He has offended so many Beamon royalty, nobles, and the upper echelons of the temple, but he has abandoned his foundation, how can he end well?
Not to mention the militia who followed him, they would not be eaten alive by all the powerful people when the time came. Didn't you see that after the Pier bear man Vieri gave up his identity as an officer to follow him, the temple gave the hundreds of vassal Dir muskmen that Wei Heizi had handed over before to the human merchant group in the blink of an eye, and asked them to cut the sachets in their bodies?
dragged his family with his mouth, and several wives were rare interracial beauties, but I was afraid that there would be no ashes left at that time.
Is this the suggestion made by the sacrificial myth? Or is it your own ancestor? Obislachi, don't be too poisonous!
"After making peace, no matter who you are, you have to avoid suspicion, as a sacrifice, of course, it is no exception. The Lord Priestess explained with a smile, "After all, the temple is the third most powerful body of the kingdom, and you have the title of this human duke, and if you appear in any authority, the Noble Inspectorate and the Elders' House will not agree to it." In fact, to put it bluntly, what's the harm of traveling in the forest and no longer working hard?"
"I don't have a relationship with her, and I'm not an animal who only knows how to mate. If you want me to marry a woman I don't know, how can I do it?" Liu Zhen shook his head and refused, "I am already a family man, so I should take on the responsibilities of a husband." I'm really sorry, Mentor Mourinho, but I can't promise you that. ”
"Didn't you just say that you just want to be a rich man? What's wrong with marrying an extra rich wife? As for how you treat her after marriage, that's your business, why bother to have a good life?" Lord Mourinho frowned slightly, obviously because Richard's disobedience made him a little displeased, and his tone was a little cold.
"Richard, the laws of our kingdom of Beamon allow polygamy, and in fact, you seem to be already doing so. The beautiful snake tutor also persuaded.
You are just a mallet, you dare to shout here without seeing anything, Lao Liu is disdainful of the political wisdom of the beautiful snake mentor, just like the great shaman of Wei'an in the Northeast Temple?
The Great Shaman of Vian and the Scepter Priests were silent, only the raccoon priest Lemaire, who had always had no brains, muttered in a low voice, "Lord Richard is such an excellent sacrifice, isn't it a pity if you don't do it?"
Liu Zhen was silent, and the eyes of several beauties next to him looked at him with earnest and complicated eyes, as if they were looking forward to an important moment.
"I'll just say yes. Master Mourinho wiped his fingers on the tablecloth and smiled: "The marriage of the high priest in red is almost an oracle. If you don't agree, it seems that your dream of becoming a rich man will soon come true. ”
You forced me! Liu Zhen was furious.
"I'm not unfamiliar with the title of human duke, since this princess can marry anyone, why do you have to marry me? What's wrong with the red-clothed high priest, maybe in two years I will also be the red-clothed high priest, and it is not certain who will listen to whom at that time!" Liu Zhenyi sneered, he decided, since he couldn't talk about it, it was a big deal to pull it out and do it alone! With the mysterious demon pet world provided by Lu Xihua, he didn't believe that he couldn't afford to pull a sacrificial army out!
Hearing this, the beauties in the circle next to them exhaled a long breath at the same time, and this breath has been held for a long time.
Liu Zhenzhen resolutely refused, what should the old swan do? As a sacrificial myth and veteran nobleman, will he be angry?
