This is Miss Ocean. Granddaughter of Marshal Seedorf? "Ocean of Masisi.
Haiyang nodded slightly, "Hello, Your Majesty. I am Haiyang."
Massimo's gaze returned to its original majesty, "Marshal Seedorf has always been one of the people I admire the most. Miss Trouble took me to say hello to him."
Hai Yang nodded again, "Thank you, Your Majesty."
Massimo suddenly became silent, his eyes looked a little scattered, and he wanted to say something, but he couldn't. It made the atmosphere in the black phoenix chariot somewhat dull.
It was Ye Yinzhu who broke the silence and said with a smile, "I haven't seen you for three years, how is your Majesty?"
After asking this sentence, Ye Yinzhu felt a little regretful. After such a failed war, how good was Massimo who ruled Landias, and all this was caused by himself.
Sure enough, Massimo glanced at him, and the loneliness in his eyes increased a bit, "Do you think I can get well? Landias is not hurt, but the situation is gone. Although I have many children, but none Can share my worries. I only know about fighting for power and profit. Once I leave this world, I am afraid that the Landias Building will collapse. Although I never want to admit that I am a failed emperor, I have to admit that I really lost. But I didn't lose to Silvio of Milan, but to you, Qin Emperor Ye Yinzhu."
Speaking of this, he paused, perhaps because of the sadness in his words, Sura, who was sitting next to Ye Yinxiu, couldn't help raising her head slowly, the coldness in her eyes seemed to have disappeared a bit, but she still refused to speak.
Massimo smiled lightly and said: "I have rarely admired people in my life, and Silvio is not among them. As an emperor, although he is good, he has no ambitions, and his application of the emperor's mind is far inferior to that of the emperor. I. What I admire most about the Milan Empire is the twin stars of the commander. The two marshals, Maldini, the shield of Milan, and Seedorf, the spear of Milan. It is precisely because of their existence that the Milan Empire can maintain the number one national strength. , The north blocked the orc army. The south confronted us. Although as an enemy. I don’t know if you believe it. When I got the news of the death of Marshal Martini, I was sad for a long time. How I wish he could be me, Landia In terms of military talent, Landias is only comparable to the brothers Cruz and Crespo, but there is still an insurmountable gap."
After a pause, Massimo's eyes suddenly brightened, and he looked at Ye Yinzhu and said, "But none of them are the people I admire the most. The only one that makes me feel ashamed. There is only one in this world. It's not the Tower Masters of Falandi, but you, Qin Emperor Ye Yinxiu."
"Me?" Ye Yinzhu was a little surprised, he didn't expect Massimo to respect him so much.
"Yes, it's you. Although you were born in the eight sects of the Eastern Dragon, you can be said to have started from scratch. When you first emerged, you destroyed my plan with the orcs. Try to prevent the orcs from plundering the legion. Let The world realized the magic of Shenyin Master. Later, you gradually established Zither City, and your strength continued to increase. But Zither City is located in a remote place after all, and neither I nor other countries noticed your existence. Until the war started, we Only then did I realize how stupid it was to ignore you. Only 3,000 elites helped the Milan Empire eliminate the most dangerous Eastern Front War, and the Kingdom of Floro was helpless and suffered a great loss of national strength. From that moment on, You and your diqin city have already stood on the continent of Longzinus. Become one of the forces on the continent."
"In my opinion, everyone has their own strengths and development direction. As an excellent emperor, it is difficult to become an excellent commander, and it is also difficult to become a supreme power as an excellent commander. However, With you, this situation has changed. Not only do you have great strength, but you are also an excellent commander. The most important thing is the cohesion that appears on you. Although I don’t know how you do it Yes, but, being able to unite the four great beasts of the elves, dwarves, goblins, and orcs around me, with myself as the core, I do not have such cohesion. I have always wanted to ask you, how do you do it Arrived? Threatened and lured? No, you should not be such a person."
Ye Yinzhu sighed softly, and said: "Your Majesty, you are an outstanding emperor, but you are blinded by being too utilitarian. In fact, I don't do much, just being sincere. I want others to treat you wholeheartedly. You, first of all, treat people wholeheartedly.
"
Massimo froze for a moment, then shook his head helplessly, "It's too late to say anything now. After so much, your status on the entire continent is no longer inferior to that of Silvio and me. With Falan's support, The support of the orcs, coupled with the strength of Zither City itself,
I admire your ability, that's why I proposed to Fa Lan that if I, Landias, fully support this holy war, then the commander must be you. "
Ye Yinzhu didn't shy away modestly, looked at Massimo, and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, we are here this time to hear about your conditions. Master O'Brien told me that Landias fully supports the Jihad. condition."
Massimo didn't directly answer Ye Yinzhu's question, "How are your children? I haven't seen them as a grandfather for three years. I heard that they are a pair of twins. With your excellence, the children It must be great, too."
When Massimo mentioned the children, Ye Yinzhu's three eccentric babies immediately appeared in Ye Yinzhu's mind, and he smiled and said: "The children are very good. The two children of Sura and I are named Ye Siqin and Ye Lianqin. Strangely, Siqin is born with a bright body, but Lianqin is born with a dark body.
For magic, they are very savvy. "
There was a kind smile on Massimo's face, as if he was imagining his grandson, "How can your children not be outstanding? They must be very good to get your approval."
Su La, who hadn't spoken all the time, suddenly said: "You don't have to pretend, as Emperor Landias, I don't believe you have no eyeliner in Falan. You will know what happened to the two little devils, Siqin and Lianqin, in Falan. have no idea?"
Massimo's eyes flashed, he looked at Sura with a wry smile and said, "Are you finally willing to talk to me?"
Sura said indifferently: "I have paid off everything I owe you, and I have nothing to do with you. However, I can tell you that if your condition is related to my children, I will never Yes. You don't have to wishful thinking."
Massimo's body trembled slightly, and he looked at Sura with a slightly weird gaze. Feeling his emotional fluctuations, Ye Yinzhu's heart moved. Could it be that the conditions that Massimo wanted to propose were really the same as his own? Are the children related? .
If that's the case, how could he agree? Could it be that before the jihad began, Ryuzakinus himself would launch another war to calm the rear
Since the end of the war and Ye Yinzhu officially joined Falan, he no longer thinks that the Landias Empire and his allies are still a threat.
Milan has an absolute advantage, Zither City has also developed, and with the support of Falan and the Beastmen, it is not difficult to even wipe out the four southern countries. Zinus will also be seriously injured.
At that time, it would not be an easy task to launch a jihad.
At this time, the black phoenix chariot stopped in a slight vibration, and Massimo said: "Go, let's talk in the palace."
A group of four got off the black phoenix chariot, followed by many guards, and entered the deepest part of the palace.
Su La is naturally very familiar with this place, and she was a little surprised to find that Massimo brought them here, which turned out to be his palace as the emperor.
The bedroom is very large, but the layout inside is not as luxurious as imagined. Although every piece of decoration is very delicate, the quantity is not much.
Compared with the Milan Empire, this palace of Emperor Massimo is definitely considered simple.
After waving away all the attendants, Massimo made a gesture of invitation, "You all do it. I know the purpose of your coming, and I still have to wait for a witness. After he comes, we can also start talking."
witness? Although Ye Yinzhu didn't understand what Massimo meant, he was not in a hurry, nodded, and sat down with his two wives.
They didn't wait for too long. After a while, under the guidance of the palace guards, Crespo, Minister of Military Affairs of the Landias Empire, came outside the bedroom to ask for an audience.
"Let him in." Massimo's voice came out.
Crespo walked in from the outside, and saw the three of Ye Yinzhu as soon as he entered the door, but he didn't show any surprise on his face, obviously he knew the person Massimo asked him to meet. .
Judging from the appearance of the Minister of Military Affairs, it should be after Ye Yinzhu and the others came to the palace that Massimo asked someone to order him to come. He should also be the witness that Massimo said.
"See Your Royal Highness, and see the son-in-law." Crespo bowed to Ye Yinzhu and his wife.
Sura pulled Ye Yinzhu aside, "I'm no longer a princess, Lord Crespo needn't be so polite."
Respo glanced at Massimo, and only retreated after getting the hint from his eyes.
Ye Yinzhu smiled slightly and said: "Your Majesty, what conditions do you have? You can say it now. Within the scope of possibility, I think, I will try my best to satisfy you. Of course, my condition is that Landias will fully support this Jihad, without reservation."
Massimo said: "Yin Zhu, no matter how you say you married Su La, I will call you that."
Ye Yinzhu nodded. The fact is that he is Sura's father anyway.
Massimo said: "If you were the emperor of Landias, what kind of conditions would you put forward to keep Landias safe and pass it on forever without being annexed?"
Ye Yinzhu frowned and said, "Your Majesty, this doesn't seem to be something I should consider."
Massimo said indifferently: "I'm afraid you can't easily say that way. With Zither City, Falan, and the Milan Empire, Landias will only gradually decline under suppression. Even if Falan deliberately favors the balance , such a trend is inevitable. After all, as long as this jihad is won, Zither City's status on the mainland will increase again, even surpassing Falan. Zither City and the Milan Empire have always had a close cooperative relationship , and what about Landias? When I was here, I believed that I was still sure of keeping Landias. However, I am not young anymore. After taking the throne, I am afraid that Landias will also perish. These are just a matter of time."
Ye Yinzhu didn't speak because he knew what Massimo said was the truth. After going through such a war, it is impossible for the Milan Empire not to attack Landias on both sides of the enemy. And the Milan Empire has no threat from the north, no matter in terms of military strength, national power or allies, it is not comparable to the current Landias.
Su La suddenly said, "Then what do you want?"
Massimo looked at Sura, with a hint of sadness in his eyes, "Phoenix. I think you know what your brothers and sisters look like. Although you are always unwilling to admit your identity. But. In my heart, You are the only filial child."
"Me? Filial piety? You don't need to use these words to provoke my sympathy. Let me emphasize again. There is no relationship between me and you." Sura's voice suddenly raised, trembling in the cold.
Massimo lowered his head and looked at the ground, "Yes. I am not qualified to be your father. It was me who killed your mother's life, and your brother..."
"Shut up, you don't deserve to mention them." Sura's body trembled violently, staring at Massimo. There was an extremely excited emotion in his eyes. "Where were you when we were starving? Where were you when my brother died? Do you know? My mother used her hard-earned money to buy a few pieces of fruit for my brother, but the thief broke off her fingers and refused to let go of the money." bag. Do you know what we have endured? Even after I returned to the palace, those beast sons of yours still wanted to rape me who was just over ten years old. When did you fulfill the responsibility of a father? In your heart .Only power.Only desire. You are not worthy to mention mother and brother, they have nothing to do with you."
The veil on her face was already wet with tears, seeing that Sura's mood was extremely unstable, Ye Yinzhu hurriedly pulled her into his arms. Comforting him with a warm chest.
Massimo's body was also trembling, and two lines of tears flowed down his face. "Yes. I don't deserve it. I never cared about anything but power and Landias, otherwise. How could I be here today? I don't even have the right to blame your brothers and sisters, after all, I didn't Teach them well, I never cared about them."
"It wasn't until you came back from the dark tower that I realized how failed my family was. Remember what you said to me. You said that you would do three things for me. After that, we no longer have Any relationship. At that moment, my heart suffered a huge shock. I know your experience, I never thought that you would forgive me or do anything for me..
in my opinion. You kids just want something from me. But you are not. Although I feel your deep hatred for me, but. You still decided to do three things for me, and I can't understand what it means. Because you still have my father in your heart. Blood is thicker than water, no matter what you say, my blood flows through you. "
Listening to Massimo's words, Sura cried bitterly in Ye Yinzhu's arms, and refused to raise her head again. But Ye Yinxiu's gaze was only helpless, the so-called upright official can't break up housework, and Sura's crying will only be good for her body, she should have fully vented the sadness in her heart long ago.
Turning around, facing away from Ye Yinzhu and his wife, Marcy
wiping his tears. He was right, among his children, Sura was the only one who was filial. Even if Su La never called him Papa.
Wiping away his tears, Massimo turned around again and said to Ye Yinzhu: "I have thought about it for a long time. It is not difficult for Landias to fully support the jihad. But I must ensure that my country continues and that Randy The prosperity of Yas. But this is not what I can do. Maybe you and Falan can guarantee that the Milan Empire will not attack our country for a long time, and guarantee that it will not attack me in the war. The transfer of Sri Lanka's army is absolutely fair. However, these are not enough to solve the problem fundamentally. What Landias lacks now is not your guarantee, but its own problems. The condition I want to make is to give me a heir."
Massimo seems to have wiped away the sadness in his heart. When he said these few words, he was decisive and there was no room for maneuver. Ye Yinzhu fully believed that if he did not agree to this condition, with Massimo's character, he would definitely It is better to have broken jade than to be whole.
"Your Majesty, I don't quite understand what you mean. What do you mean by giving you an heir?" Ye Yinzhu asked in a deep voice.
Massimo said: "A hundred years from now, Landias needs an outstanding monarch to lead the empire out of the predicament, so that the people of Landias will not suffer from pain and slavery.
And this person, I can only ask you. "
"Me?" Ye Yinzhu frowned and looked at Massimo.
Massimo said: "There are two ways to solve this problem. The first one is that I pass the throne to Phoenix, and you are the regent, with all the power. With Crespo here to witness, plus my order, I can Guaranteed, there will never be any objection in Landias. With your status on the mainland and the relationship with Sura, Landias will only become more prosperous, and I can rest assured."
Ye Yinzhu looked at Massimo in surprise, he never thought that the great emperor would propose such a condition. Massimo's meaning has been clearly stated, give you a country, do you want it
Ye Yinzhu is so smart, he immediately calmed down after a brief surprise, and he couldn't help admiring Massimo in his heart.
Landias may not have outstanding royal children to inherit his throne, but no matter who succeeds, it cannot resolve the conflict between Landias and the Milan Empire. But Sura is different, she is his wife, and also the daughter of Massimo's first relative, the status of a princess. Although she is a girl, she has her own existence behind her. Massimo let Sura inherit the throne because he wanted to use his own status to ensure the continuation of the Landias Empire. Could it be that Milan would be detrimental to Landias if he was there? The situation of confrontation between the two sides will certainly be maintained. Even Zither City will lean towards Landias for its own reasons.
On the surface, Massimo seems to have sent a country to Ye Yinzhu. Although this is a helpless move, it is undoubtedly the best choice for Landias. Moreover, in any case, the real heir to the throne is still his Moratti family. The most important thing is that Massimo has long seen that Ye Yinzhu has no ambitions. He loves Sura deeply and will never covet Sura's throne.
Before putting forward this condition today, in the past three years, Massimo did not know how many times he had foresighted and thought about this matter carefully. Only today's decision was made.
"You want me to inherit your throne?" Sura Lihua raised her pretty face with rain, and the shock in her heart was even greater than that of Ye Yinzhu. Although she doesn't care much about power. But Massimo's words still gave her a strange feeling.
Which child does not want to be valued by their parents, and in the royal family, is there anything more important than succession? Massimo was very accurate about Sura's thoughts. She looks cold on the surface, but actually has a warm heart. Although she hates her father, she still regards him as her father in her heart.
Massimo smiled slightly and said: "As long as you are willing to accept it, this is the dowry my father gave you. As a natal family, I have not been able to be with you at your wedding. And the most precious thing I have is also Only this throne is left. I admit that I passed the throne to you to use Yinxiu's status on the mainland to ensure the safety of Landias in the future. But, Phoenix, do you believe that you are my father's favorite daughter. Although I know that I can't make up for what I owe you, but I really want to hear you call me Dad. If there is an afterlife, I would rather not have all the power and status, just silently accompany your mother, love She spends her whole life in the next life to make up for the harm she has suffered in this life."
The water flowed again, and Sura's lips buzzed, but she still had no words.
The throne is not important, what is important is family affection. Apart from Yinzhu and the child, Massimo is her only blood relative in this world.
After Sura's resurrection, Ye Yinzhu once told her that Massimo was willing to let him go for her when he was outside Landias city. Although the great emperor's utilitarian heart has never been lowered, his love for Su La is also true.
Ye Yinzhu's mood relaxed a lot at this time, and he could naturally see the change in Sura's mood. Although she was crying, the pent-up sadness in her heart was quietly dissipating.
It's not that he doesn't know that the condition proposed by Emperor Massimo is to use himself.
However, what harm does this do to oneself? To be precise, there should be only benefits. After all, Landias is the largest empire on the mainland after Milan.
If this power is in his own hands in the future, then there will be no different voices in the entire Longzinus continent. Landias was certainly saved. But it is also a good thing for the mainland. .
With the relationship between himself and the Milan Empire, it is no longer possible for war to break out.
Shaking his head slightly, Ye Yinzhu said with a wry smile: "I'm sorry, Your Majesty, I don't think I can promise you."
Massimo was taken aback, and said: "Why? You don't want to send you a country? Although I am using you, it is not harmful to you. I just hope that Landias can continue, and There is no other purpose."
Ye Yinzhu put his arms around Sura lightly, and said: "I understand, this may be a good solution for us. But Sura is my wife, do you want me to watch my wife do everything for the country every day?" Are you busy with business? Sura has suffered so much. After the jihad is over, I just want to take her and Haiyang to find a place with a beautiful environment to live in seclusion, travel around the mainland occasionally, and live a carefree life. Power is important to us. It is nothing more than floating clouds. Even the right to rule a country is the same."
Massimo stared blankly at Ye Yinzhu, "It seems that we are really people from two worlds.
I don't understand how you got to where you are now. Could it be. Is that what you mean by sincerity? If it was before, I would definitely think that you are a man who has no worries. But now I kind of envy you. "
Ye Yinzhu smiled and said, "Your Majesty, you just said that there is another solution. I don't know what it is."
Massimo said: "Another solution is much easier. And it won't affect your husband and wife's happiness. Didn't you have a pair of twins? Let the boy inherit my throne. He also flows from me I can also explain the blood of the Moratti family to the public and the ministers." Speaking of this. He was visibly showing a somewhat disheartened feeling.
Let our children inherit the throne of Landias? Ye Yinzhu was stunned for a moment. Ye Siqin's small face immediately appeared in his mind. There was a bitter smile on his face, and he said to Sura: "Remember, I said that I hope our children can live a peaceful life, as long as they are healthy. But now, I'm afraid they are beyond ordinary."
Su La said: "Do you want to agree?"
Ye Yinzhu shook his head, looked at Emperor Massimo and said, "I understand what you mean. It is not impossible for me to promise, but I have two conditions. First. Before the child is sixteen years old, he must stay in the We receive education by our side. Or stay in Falan. But you can announce that you have chosen him as your heir. Second, if Siqin doesn’t want to be the emperor of Landias in the future, you can’t force him. Neither will we Reluctantly. How to save your Landias at that time, we will discuss it later."
After all the previous events, whether it was Ye Yinzhu or Sura, their hearts had already softened, and the twilight appearance of Emperor Massimo brought them a lot of emotion.
Rescuing those two little beggars on the street made Ye Yinzhu feel tired of war, especially the war between humans, and he didn't want to see the scene where the two empires of mankind fought again.
Crespo couldn't help but said: "Master Qindi, your condition is equivalent to not agreeing to His Majesty. It's just giving us more than ten years of breathing time. If our losses are too large in this holy war, the ten or so Years aren't even enough for us to recover."
Ye Yinzhu said indifferently: "Lord Crespo, I can only say that this is my bottom line. At the same time, even if Siqin inherits the throne of Landias in the future, he must have two surnames. Instead of just using Moratti."
Crespo said slightly angrily: "Master Qindi, your conditions are too harsh.
"
Massimo waved his hand to prevent Crespo from continuing, staring at Ye Yinxiu with burning eyes, and said: "I can accept your conditions, but I have one additional condition. If, when your son reaches the age of ten Since he came to Landias at the age of six and was unwilling to take over the position of emperor, he must also serve in the Landias Empire for ten years. In this way, how could he have some feelings for Landias, and it is also important for the future of the empire. It's good. My condition is not too much. As a grandfather, I will never harm my grandson. Ten years of training in Landias will not do him any harm."
Although Massimo's voice can still remain calm, anyone can hear the pleading contained in his voice.
Ye Yinzhu nodded slowly and said, "Okay, I promise you."
Massimo seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, "Have you had dinner? I ordered the dinner to be opened."
Sura shook her head and took a deep look at Massimo, "No, we still have things to do. Please keep your promise and support Yinxiu in launching this holy war. Yinxiu, let's go."
Massimo raised his hand, as if he wanted to stop Sura, but he still didn't say anything. With a deep sigh, he personally sent the three of Ye Yinzhu to the door of the bedroom.
Neither party has obtained any certificates, and these conditions seem to have been agreed verbally, but Massimo is completely sure that since Ye Yinzhu agreed to himself, he will never go back on his word.
Watching the figures of the three gradually disappear under the leadership of the palace guards, Massimo sighed softly and murmured: "Fenghuang, thank you. You helped Dad again. Even though you still don't want to call me Dad, But I can also be satisfied."
At this time, Crespo's face was no longer full of righteous indignation before, and he smiled and said: "Your Majesty, you can finally breathe a sigh of relief. Emperor Qin agreed to you for the sake of His Royal Highness. Landias The future will not be dark after all. But, can you be sure that your grandson who has never met will agree?"
Massimo smiled lightly, "He was only sixteen years old at that time, if I couldn't even persuade a sixteen-year-old child, then my decades of emperors would be in vain. According to the information I got, Siqin This child has performed extremely well in all aspects. Among Ye Yinzhu's three children, he is not only the oldest, but also looks like an elder brother. Although he is not yet four years old, his abilities in all aspects have been improved. He was unanimously recommended by the masters of the Falan Tower. Not only is he the son of Ye Yinzhu, but his godfather is O'Brien, the master of the Tower of Light.
With these auras on me, I want to see how the future Milan Empire can compete with me. With the blood relationship, Ye Yinzhu is likely to gradually tilt from Milan to us when blood is thicker than water. If that's the case, perhaps, the great cause of unification that I haven't completed will be completed by Siqin. This is what I most want to see. "
Crespo smiled and said: "I will immediately announce the news that Ye Siqin has become the prince of the Landias Empire. After the Milan Empire got the news, I don't know what Silvio will think. If there is some rift between Milan and Zither City , is what we most hope to see. But, Your Majesty, do we really want to fully support this holy war?"
Massimo nodded firmly, "This is what I promised Ye Yinzhu. We will not only support with all our strength, but also support regardless of casualties. In this holy war, we must win Qincheng, Falan, and even It is the favor of the orcs. Since my plan will be completed in the next few decades, then I must first pave the way for Siqin."
After leaving the Landias Palace, Sura suddenly stopped, "I'm sorry, Yinzhu."
Ye Yinzhu smiled and said, "Why do you say I'm sorry? You didn't do anything wrong!"
Sura lowered her head, "Looking at his old appearance, I really can't bear to refuse. Or, after I go back, I will tell Siqin not to let him agree to inherit the throne at the age of sixteen?"
Ye Yinzhu smiled and shook his head, and said: "No need, let him choose his own path. We shouldn't impose anything on him. If he is willing, what if he becomes the monarch of the Landias Empire?"
Sura smiled bitterly and said, "I know exactly what kind of person my father is. You just agreed, and I'm afraid the news will soon spread throughout the entire continent. If he doesn't use this to benefit Landias, then, He is no longer Massimo the Great."
