From ancient times to the present, there has never been a precedent for sending a man to marry, especially if the other party is a lowly half-orc. This is a matter of human dignity. Not only the old city lord disagrees, but the patriarchs of the four major families all oppose it.
Before they could think of a solution, the news of the mysterious disappearance of the scientists who developed weapons spread like wildfire. Qin Mu sent people to capture the top scientific researchers from the City of Humans for his use, and actively trained the half-orcs' on-the-spot combat capabilities to serve Active preparations for the first war between humans and orcs.
Before leading the half-orcs to leave the city of humans, Qin Mu took Zhuo Zihang and Song Yang away together. The strength of the two was only lower than Qin Mu's. With their assistance, Qin Mu's half-orc army had begun to take shape. The news of the half-orcs training and preparing for war spread to the city of humans, and it was no surprise that the humans felt a panic, and any disturbance could make them tremble with fright.
The human city has been peaceful for hundreds of years, and it cannot withstand any war at all. Many people have heard of the secret letter sent by the half-orc, and hope that the old city owner can send his favorite son to marry him according to the request of the half-beast king. , the old city lord was under pressure, and his attitude was not as tough as before.
He knew very well that if they really wanted to fight against the half-orcs, they would have nothing to offer. They also had the weapons and equipment that the half-orcs had, but they didn't have the near-perfect skills that the half-orcs had undergone genetic selection and optimization.
After much deliberation and hesitation, the old city lord dragged his sick body and brought Mu Jinze and Mu Huai to the bed, asking for their opinions and opinions.
"I think you all have heard that humans and orcs are about to go to war." The old city lord sighed a long time, with a tired look on his face, and a generation of careerists is finally old, "Maybe this is me. If I hadn't insisted on transforming those orphans and disabled children into half-orcs, this day would not have happened."
After hearing this, Mu Jinze was silent for a few seconds, and said, "Father, don't we have any other options? Once a war breaks out, it is the people in the City of Humans who will suffer."
"Of course there is a way." Although the old city lord ordered the news to be blocked, but now in troubled times, the gossip is still spreading wildly. He didn't believe that his two sons hadn't heard any rumors. Thinking of this, the old city lord lowered his eyes and said Said: "It depends on whether you two are willing or not."
What the half-beast king wanted in the letter was his favorite son, but the palms and backs of his hands were full of flesh. As a father, he couldn't make this choice, so he could only hand over the choice to his two sons.
Mu Huai's news has always been well-informed, what's more, as early as the moment he decided to let Qin Mu go, he had already anticipated the situation today, and glanced at Mu Jinze beside him, Mu Huai paused in embarrassment After a while, reply: "I am willing to go to make peace for the peace of the city of mankind."
The old city lord did not expect that Mu Huai, who has always been careless, would stand up in times of crisis, and was very moved for a while, "Okay, you are indeed my son, Mu Huai, please feel wronged for a while, and wait until we find him." After the weakness of the half-beast king, I will definitely find a way to rescue you."
Mu Huai smiled and nodded, the old city owner saw that optimistic and open-minded appearance, his eyes were hot, and he hurriedly lowered his eyes to blink away the mist of tears in his eyes. Finally, he took a deep breath to calm down the complicated and sad emotions in his heart, and turned to Looking at the silent Mu Jinze, "Jinze, your brother is willing to marry the half-beast king instead of you, shouldn't you also express it?"
Mu Jinze bowed his head and remained silent.
The old city lord didn't let him escape, and directly stated his purpose: "Another request of the half-beast king is to have his brother Qin Mu. I remember Qin Mu is with you, right?"
Facing the old city lord's inquisitive eyes, Mu Jinze was silent for a long time, his lips twitched slightly: "It's on my side." He couldn't forget that half-orc duel in the suburbs. There was clearly a killing intent flashing away in Li, and it was because he saw it so clearly that he didn't dare to send Qin Mu there.
Even though he knew that the old city lord had made up his mind, he still couldn't help but said: "Qin Mu's body has a congenital genetic defect, and he needs to rest in peace. The weather conditions in the city of half-beasts are so bad, it will definitely aggravate his condition, father, You promised me before that you would spend the rest of your life with him, have you forgotten what you said?"
"I haven't forgotten." Recalling the past, the old city lord lowered his eyes to cover the dark light in his eyes, "I know you like your slave very much, but now that the city of humanity is in danger, do you want to destroy the whole city for your own self-interest? Do the people ignore it?"
"I..." Mu Jinze opened his mouth.
The old city lord interrupted: "Okay, let Qin Mu come over, and I will tell him personally, if he agrees—" The old city lord narrowed his eyes, and continued: "I don't think you have any reason to object."
Mu Huai on the side hid the expression on his face, he was very curious, what method his father would use to persuade Qin Man.
Half an hour later, the guards brought Qin Man over.
The old city lord screened Mu Jinze and Mu Huai away, and looked at Qin Man who was waiting at the side. Perhaps because of Mu Jinze's careful care, Qin Man's complexion improved a lot, and it didn't look like he had only a few years to live. Head sick ghost.
"Do you know what I called you to do?"
Hearing this, Qin Man swallowed nervously, shook his head and said, "I'm not sure." Of course he had heard the gossip, but he was still not sure why the old city lord called him here. If it is really as he guessed, then his situation is in danger.
"I arranged for you to escape from prison and let you replace Qin Mu to come to Jinze's side. Now it's time for you to repay your favor." Then, the old city lord paused, and softly called out Qin Man's words in a threatening tone. name.
Qin Man froze when his real name was called.
Yes, he was able to successfully escape from the half-orc prison. It was all arranged by the old city lord. The old city lord secretly swapped his identities with Qin Mu, and then let him stay by Mu Jinze's side. Long, when he dies, the old city lord will be able to choose the most suitable wife for Mu Jinze as a matter of course.
"Qin Man, you have to know that you are Qin Mu's substitute from the beginning to the end. If Jin Ze insisted on being with Qin Mu and would not even want to be the heir to the City of Humanity because of him, I wouldn't have given up your place. Such a situation." Although he can find a way to make Qin Mu disappear, but in this way, Jin Ze will hate him as a father, so it is better to let Jin Ze think that Qin Mu only has a few. years of life.
Qin Man bit his lower lip tightly, as if he was threatening him. If he disagrees, will the old city lord tell Mu Jinze that he pretended to be Qin Mu? Since childhood, he has lived in Qin Mu's shadow. He knows that he is not as good as Qin Mu in everything. Even though they have the same appearance, as long as Qin Mu is around, no one will notice him. Qin Mu is like a luminous body, his smile and eyes are full of magic and bewilderment, even if he raises his eyes just once, people can't help but turn their attention to him.
Not to mention, Qin Mu is stronger than all of them.
This time Qin Mu was able to lead a group of half-orcs to make themselves kings, he was not surprised at all.
In fact, earlier, Qin Mu's force value was not strong. They were premature babies, and their physique was weaker than ordinary people. Originally, Qin Mu was in critical condition and was isolated by medical staff, but he did not expect that Qin Mu not only survived, but also had a weaker physique. There have also been earth-shaking changes. It was also at that time that he heard Mu Jinze's name from Qin Mu's mouth.
He once asked Qin Mu how he became strong, and Qin Mu answered him like this: "When you have a sweetheart, you will become stronger for him."
He knew that Qin Mu's sweetheart was Mu Jinze, the future heir of the City of Humanity. At that time, he was thinking why Qin Mu was so lucky to be favored by the supremely powerful Mu Jinze, and he was devoured by jealousy. In his heart, when he was summoned by the old city lord and asked him to come to Mu Jinze's side instead of Qin Mu, he agreed without hesitation.
He doesn't like Mu Jinze, but as long as Qin Mu has it, he wants to grab it. Because Qin Mu often told him about Mu Jinze, he succeeded in replacing Qin Mu without arousing any suspicion from Mu Jinze. His joy made him feel as if he had been reborn.
But now, he was about to be beaten back to his original form, how could he accept it.
Qin Man suddenly raised his head, like a neurotic psychopath, his eyes wide open, and he spoke very fast: "As long as you don't expose me, I am willing to be sent to the city of half-beasts."
What the old city lord was waiting for was his words, "Then do you know what to say to Jin Ze later?"
"I know."
He is inferior to Qin Mu in everything, but as long as he has Qin Mu's favorite Mu Jinze, then he is the winner, even if he will be killed by Qin Mu this time, if he can get Mu Jinze's hatred for Qin Mu , then he is willing to go to hell.
The old city lord's old and hoarse voice came from next to his ear: "The doctor said you won't live for three years, this time you go to the city of half-beasts, maybe it will be a turning point."
Qin Man's eyes were puzzled: "What do you mean?"
The old city lord grinned and showed a very strange smile: "I got the medical examination report about Qin Mu from the half-orc experimental base yesterday, and found a very interesting thing, if you..." I don't know what I heard, Qin Man His pupils shrank slightly, and there was a look of surprise in his eyes.
In this room, Mu Huai and Mu Jinze waited outside the door, knowing nothing about the situation inside the door.
Mu Huai yawned lazily, wiped away the physical tears overflowing from the corners of his eyes with his fingertips, and cast a glance at Mu Jinze, who was looking dignified, "Brother, don't be nervous, father won't do anything to Qin Mu .”
Mu Jinze hummed, trying to relax his expression, "Do you really want to marry Qin Man?"
"Yeah." Mu Huai smiled, with an expression of anticipation that Mu Jinze couldn't understand flashing in his eyes: "If it can bring about peace in the city of humans, my sacrifice is not a big deal." He is now an idler. I'm tired of being a "prince", so it's not bad to change my identity, such as the half-beast princess.
Mu Jinze: "..." He still doesn't know his younger brother, Mu Huai has never been a person who sacrifices himself for others.
For some reason, Mu Huai suddenly stared straight at Mu Jinze, causing Mu Jinze to frown uncomfortably, and then he opened the corner of his mouth and smiled, "There is only one half-beast king in this world, wait for me After you get married, he will be your sister-in-law in the future, so don't fall in love with him."
"Impossible." Mu Jinze flatly denied it. Even if he had a short-term throbbing with that Qin Man, it was because he mistook him for Qin Mu, and later the other party almost killed Qin Mu, so it was impossible for him to have any good feelings for him.
"I just said it casually." Mu Huai said with a smile. He doesn't care about the past between Qin Mu and Mu Jinze, he will fix Qin Mu, even if one day he gets tired of playing with Qin Mu, he will not give him up to anyone.
creak.
A door knock interrupted their conversation.
Mu Huai and Mu Jinze looked towards the door at the same time. The old city lord swept away the sadness of the past few days, and with a rare smile on his face, he patted Qin Man on the shoulder, "You are a good boy, you I am pleased to have made this decision for the City of Man."
Hearing these words, Mu Jinze's heart turned cold.
He pulled Qin Man aside, "Are you really determined to go?"
Qin Man said the words he had thought up a long time ago: "Don't worry, I and Qin Man are brothers, and he will definitely not hurt me."
These words did not reassure Mu Jinze. He thought over and over again, then turned to the old castellan and said, "Father, I want to send him to the city of half-beasts." As soon as he said this, the smile on the old castellan's face disappeared suddenly, Mei asked: "Have you really thought about it?"
"Yes, I've made up my mind." Mu Jinze said firmly.
The old city lord was not worried that Qin Mu would hurt Mu Jinze. Regardless of the old relationship between the two, since Qin Mu sent him the secret letter, it showed that the other party wanted to form an alliance with them. If the City of Beasts were to marry, they would become allies, and naturally they would not start another war.
There was a thoughtful look in his eyes, and the old city lord thought to himself, if Jin Ze went, Qin Mu would definitely not fortify him, this might be an opportunity. Thinking of this, the old city lord nodded slightly: "Okay, then you will escort Qin Mu to the city of half-beasts."
Before leaving, the old city lord left Mu Jinze alone and explained some things to him. Mu Huai was curious about what the old castellan would say to Mu Jinze, and wanted to eavesdrop, but unfortunately there were soldiers blocking the door, so he had no choice but to give up.
…
Knowing that the old city lord agreed to his rude request, Qin Mu was quite surprised. He had already prepared for a big fight with humans. Orcs are lowly beasts in the eyes of humans. If the most noble man among them marries him, it will not only make those nobles with eyes on top of their heads shameless, but even if it is heard by other tribesmen, they will laugh out loud.
Song Yang swept away the reply letter sent by the old city lord with his tail, and when he saw the content clearly, he immediately exploded and tore the letter to pieces: "Do you really want to marry a man?"
"Is there anything I can't do?"
Qin Mu was curious as to who the old city lord would send over.
