Kingdom’s Bloodline

Thales fell silent after listening to Du Suan's words.

About this matter, I have consulted with Director Melahovich: You and Jen, you don't owe each other money, but you owe money to other people—many, many people.

Thales raised his head, his eyes serious:

Relying on the foundation of one city, smashing the pockets of two cities, filling the credit of ten cities, absorbing the money of twenty cities, and doing business in hundreds of cities, but only those who can really use it to pay off debts The size of a city...

The light in Du Suan's eyes gradually tightened.

Relying on the ever-expanding debt and people's confidence in your rule, to extend the debt period, so as to achieve the goal of never paying back the money and making money forever...

Thales narrowed his eyes:

Sooner or later something will happen.

Du Suan was silent for a while.

But he quickly looked up, confident as before.

First, accidents will happen to ordinary people, Talal from Congzhong City chuckled, because they will have bad luck, accidents, investment failures, business losses, and bankruptcy.

Thales' heart sank.

But we, whether it's you or me, or Zhan En, we won't—because we are city lords and nobles, Du Su'an said, We, or our descendants, will rule forever, forever Progress will last forever.

you sure?

Thales was expressionless.

Remember, even empires are not eternal.

It's just a description!

Du Suan waved his hand without hesitation:

Second, we've been careful.

Thales smiled sarcastically:

Be careful, be careful and let me know about this?

Who made your Kingdom Secret Science so powerful?

So far,

But Du Su'an raised his eyes, with a half-smile:

Or, in fact, you tortured Zhan En to subdue him, and even told you his concubine's name?

Thales' expression changed:

Jane still has a mistress?

Who knows, Du Su'an shrugged, Thirdly, as long as these two cities are still functioning and people live in them—then someone will always pay back the money.

Thales sneered.

And it definitely won't be you or Zhan En, the prince said in a deep voice, it won't be the dignitaries who signed and stamped lightly.

If you think about it, you won't be your Highness, Du Su'an gestured to Thales, You will always be a 'money maker', and you will never be one of those who 'repay money' throughout your life. people'.

Thales was silent for a long time.

Therefore, this is the Lisheng Talal who is praised by everyone and known as Lisheng Talal in the Hanbul dynasty.

Li Sheng.

Thales couldn't help sneering secretly.

Don't forget, Thales—at this moment, the voice in his heart quietly reminded:

Don't forget the purpose of your trip.

do not forget.

Thales took a deep breath and returned to reality.

That's right.

He still has work to do.

The most urgent task is to restore the emerald city's turmoil.

For this reason, he has to go all out and use all his wits to find the weakness of the person in front of him.

Settle a debt that would destroy the Emerald City.

You are right, Lisheng Talal, as long as the equal sign in the formula is not drawn, then you can sit back and relax.

The prince looked at Du Suan seriously:

But now Zhan En is the first to draw an equal sign: he uses the debt owed to you to press for repayment, create a financial crisis, and wants to force me out of the chess game-you are the executor.

Du Suan's smile restrained a little:

uh-huh.

Thales took a deep breath, ready to restart this difficult battle:

So I hope you can...

I promise.

I understand your reasoning for no, and understand that it's a bit of a push, but please—what?

Thales was waiting for the battle, and he was talking to himself, but he immediately reacted and raised his head in surprise:

What did you say?

Seeing Congzhong City Talar sitting loosely in front of him, Dusuan Lisheng Godalan smiled.

I said, I promise.

He leaned forward and said seriously:

Extension, interest-free, restructuring, relying on the size of the big creditors, persuaded countless small and medium-sized creditors not to be so eager to run...I will help you with everything that can help you survive the financial crisis and stay in Emerald City.

Now, it was Thales' turn to be stunned.

What?

He... just agreed?

So simple?

No other conditions?

Then I have prepared so many arguments and chips with reference to the Karabyan family and the Lasia family...

Why, why?

Thales asked stupidly.

Oh, I don't owe Emerald—well, I owe you money now. Du Su'an waved his hand indifferently, as if he was talking about a meal instead of a huge debt of millions, The biggest creditor, save money You can turn it around and say that it is only natural to pay debts and pay me.

Oh, to pay the debt, God...

Furthermore!

Du Su'an reached out his hand in time to stop Thales from talking.

As you said, one city fills two cities, two cities are exchanged for ten cities, and ten cities are used to manage twenty cities. Sooner or later, something will happen. At this moment, Lisheng Talal's expression became serious, and this is very important. Possibly, start with the collapse of one of the purses.

He looked at Thales seriously, his eyes lacked the relaxed humor just now, and were more cautious and vigilant.

This changed Thales slightly.

Du Suan sighed:

It's just a pity for Zhan En—I don't know if her sister still needs escape services?

Speaking of this name, Thales rolled his eyes, and the doubts in his heart converged in another direction:

You agreed to me so easily - I thought that Zhan En and you have a deep friendship, comparable to a loving couple?

Du Suan's eyes brightened:

of course.

Du Su'an's words changed.

But you know, let alone close friends, even if you are a couple who have been married for many years, your relationship will go through tests.

I saw the eyes of the city lord of Congzhong City turn, and his aggressive gaze was approaching Thales:

Especially... when there are too many temptations outside.

Thales was so unnaturally stared at by him, he coughed quickly:

But you know, in fact, two people don't necessarily have to fall in love to be husband and wife...

Well said, Du Su'an slapped his hands, regardless of Thales' intentions, and continued on his own, So, since you've even taken care of Zhan En...

I saw his serious expression:

Then why should I continue to be stubborn, harm others and benefit myself, and be a bad person in vain?

At that moment, Thales looked at the other person's eyes and understood something.

I see, that's why you promised me.

Dusuan smiled.

Yes, although he is in prison and there is no news, but I can be sure now: you really got Zhan En.

Lisheng Talar looked into Thales' eyes and said firmly:

These secrets—especially matters related to money—can only and will only be told by him himself.

Thales sighed.

All right.

Forget it, I didn't expect to be able to hide it from him for long.

For some reason, he obviously convinced Du Su'an and—hopefully—solved the problem of huge debts, but Thales couldn't be happier at the moment.

At least……

Can the Emerald City survive this hurdle?

Dusu'an, you are so talkative, you have traveled thousands of miles to help my brother—maybe the couple from the previous life— Thales frowned, Your Kadile Asaf Will it be allowed?

Du Su'an's eyes brightened and he was very happy:

Our Kadir has a big heart.

Thales frowned.

Then, the 'White Priest' who lives reclusively in Xiri Holy Temple, Thales' tone changed, will he, or his Quintana, allow it?

white priest.

Hearing this name, Du Suan's face changed slightly.

Seeing the other party's reaction, Thales knew he was asking the right question.

Or another way of asking: Will 'Tianhui' Talar allow it?

To Thales' surprise, Dusu'an suddenly raised his head after the words fell, his reaction was greater than when he heard the white priest just now!

Be careful, Teres Diyeba. At this moment, Lisheng Talal's tone was dangerous, Don't talk about the affairs of overseas and distant countries.

He emphatically stated:

Especially about that one.

Taylor's eyelids twitched:

Who?

everyone!

Du Su'an's tone suddenly became cold, repulsive and no longer friendly.

This made Thales interested.

He thought back to the diplomacy assignment he had done in Gilbert's class.

After returning to China from the Northland, I have heard a lot of rumors about the 'Tianhui Talar' of the Humble Dynasty, Thales carefully observed the other party, it is said that since the War of Succession, the great king of the Humble Dynasty The position of reunification has been vacant for many years because your Kadir Assaf is unwilling to compromise and refuses to appoint someone else as prime minister?

Du Suan was silent for a long time.

It's a rumor, he said softly, Just listen to it.

Du Suan's tone was normal.

But Thales understood something.

Thales was silent for a few seconds, and raised his eyes solemnly:

He...is he really that scary?

he.

In the next second, Du Su'an's eyes immediately turned to Thales!

Nervous and vigilant, murderous.

Thales was taken aback, and quickly raised his hand:

Well, pretend I didn't ask!

Du Su'an didn't speak, but just stared at Thales' desk.

Just when the atmosphere was a little awkward and Thales was thinking about what to say to end his farewell, Lisheng Talal spoke solemnly.

My father-in-law is the head of the Godalan family. When he was young, the eldest son heir—that is, my brother-in-law—was flayed by the Azad family for public display.

Peeling for publicity.

Thales was taken aback.

You Humble people...

To be precise, Mr. Humble...

As revenge, Guo Dalan's family captured and executed Patriarch Azad's younger brother, and dismembered his body slowly.

Thales' eyelids twitched again.

I've heard of cutting numbness with a quick knife, and dismembering a corpse with a random knife, but a slow knife...

You Humble people...

Until Du Suan changed the subject:

However, just two months ago, the heir of the House of Swords and I chatted and laughed happily. We agreed to be the supervisor of each other's son. marry him.

Talking and laughing...

See you soon...

Thales took a few seconds to clarify the logic before and after this, and couldn't help frowning:

What?

Du Su'an smiled, but it was very creepy.

Actually, it's not just Godalan and Azad. In hundreds of years of history, the seven noble surnames who controlled the dynastic structure and divided up the power of the monarchy have deep hatred for each other, and the resentment is hard to resolve.

He looked into the misty distance:

However, until now, whether it is Godalan and Azad who have blood feuds, Tubal and Meriya who have rebellious creeds, Uhraya and Takambu who have mutually exclusive interests, or rigid and stubborn Nephat, the seven surnames let go of their past grievances and become united as one, like brothers.

Let go of grudges.

As close as brothers?

Thales was puzzled:

Why?

Du Su'an looked at him with a sneer:

Why do you say?

He spoke slowly, word by word, quite aggressively:

Tell me, Diyebatels, why should we let go of this mortal and endless feud and stand together again?

Seeing the other party's extremely solemn expression, Thales was stunned.

because of him?

Thales asked tentatively.

Du Su'an stared at him for a long time, as if he wanted to see something from Thales.

Yes, he, because of him, just because of his humble background, was fortunate enough to be promoted and appointed by Kadile, so there are ordinary people today...

Lisheng Talal said quietly:

The seven surnames of Humble's court... Even the chief shepherd shook his head and gave up, determined that they would fight each other to the death, until the 'Supreme Beginning', the seven surnames of Humble...

Being one.

Looking at the other party's expression, Thales felt a chill down his spine.

I saw Du Su'an turned his head, his eyes dim:

Tell me, Tianhui Talal, how terrifying is he?

Du Suan had a calm expression and a normal tone.

But at that moment, Thales read the indescribable fear and panic from his words, from the words of this shrewd and confident Humble dignitary.

The study fell silent.

Thales took a deep breath and tried to make the topic lighter.

As far as I know, you, Lisheng Talal, also came from an ordinary family. You were not accepted into Guodalan, the Bingdeng family of the seven major surnames, until you made meritorious service in governing and married a noble daughter.

Du Suan smiled, with a disdainful tone.

Believe me, compared with 'Tianhui', my ability is as humble as dust.

Tianhui...

Thales chewed on this name.

So scary?

Du Suan sneered and shook his head:

Believe me, he is not just as Xi Ming said, he is just as simple as being born with precocious wisdom.

From the beginning of fortune, no matter self-protection, wealth accumulation, promotion, promotion, and power, to the current king Bizuo, the false appearance of the dynasty, Tianhui has gone through jealousy and hatred calculations, life and death crises, but she has handled it properly with every move, and she has made every move. Like a god, he never missed a single step in his errands.

Many unwise decisions that seemed unimaginable at the time have resulted in huge benefits and rewards later, as if he had foreseen the future, but it seemed that he had planned ahead and reaped the rewards.

In just a few decades, Tianhui Talal made Kadile obey him, and he was the one who was in charge of everything. The common people believed and supported him, and the Sunshine Temple was tolerant and tolerant to him. Even Kuntana and the famous 'White Priest', in the face of his many deviant actions, also lenient the net and let them do what they want.

Du Suan took a deep breath, and with inexplicable feelings, gritted his teeth and repeated:

Tell me, Tianhui Talal, how terrifying must it be?

born precocious...

Things are predictable...

Prophet...

Do what you say...

deviant...

Thales was shocked and surprised, but tried his best to behave calmly:

I remember that the last person with similar prestige was named 'Natural King'.

Du Suan laughed again, the laughter was very strange.

As I said just now, I took the initiative to come to Emerald City—not just for Zhan En.

so?

Mr. Humble looked at Thales:

At this moment, another Humble mission in the city is from Lairden City, sent by Diyebadolo—or as you say, Prince Doro. Unfortunately, he is the first of the current Kadir Six sons...

Du Su'an paused for a moment:

And Tianhui Talal's students.

Thales was taken aback.

By the way, in this year's general election, there is a Humble player who was sponsored by him from China. Du Su'an scratched his head, It seems to be called...

The prince of Humble, the student of Tianhui Talal, also sent a mission?

Thales hurriedly asked:

What do you mean? What did Tianhui Talal send him to do? Mess up the Emerald City?

Du Suan sneered and shook his head.

Nothing, but something.

Thales was at a loss.

Until Du Suan narrowed his eyes:

The truth is: Tianhui has paid a lot of attention to you, Thales Canxing, since long ago when you were still a hostage in the North Kingdom, and it is not just a general concern... From basic necessities of life to temperament and hobbies, from appearance and behavior to past experiences, he pays attention to you. You are more concerned about the ambitious tribes on the Duseri Grassland, the Suye people's border policy, the Xiri Temple, the seven surnames and even Kadile's grievances and grievances-it seems that he is determined, in such a situation Among many things, you are the most special and important one.

Tianhui Talal.

follow me?

Thales couldn't help being stunned.

Du Su Anzai looked at Thales carefully:

That's why I want to come, I want to come to Xingchen in person, I want to see who is the most sacred person who can make Tianhui Talal vigilant and afraid, so much so that he wants to send envoys to contact him in advance.

Thales' mind went blank, and it took him a long time to return to reality.

I, I don't understand.

The prince shook his head hard:

I and Tianhui Talal... have never met each other, and have never met.

I also do not understand.

Du Suan snorted coldly:

However, it is often said that Tianhui Talal is actually not a mortal, but an envoy sent by Maharaja Xiri to save believers, or a prophet who was born in the world to enlighten ignorance, so every move has a deep meaning.

Talal of Congzhong City looked at Thales, with a deep meaning in his words:

Maybe, to him, you are not just a foreign dignitary from the other side of the sea?

Du Suan changed the subject:

Is it the enemy of life and death who is destined to face?

Taylor's eyebrows twitched.

What?

What's the meaning?

Tianhui Talal...

And me?

The next second, Du Suan suddenly laughed.

Okay, I won't scare you anymore, he repeatedly waved his hands in apology, Don't worry, before he completely controls the whole Humble, and stretches his claws across the Sea of ​​Ending, we still have to stop him.

Well, thank you very much.

Thales was still in astonishment, he was preoccupied and answered casually.

But I'm curious about one thing. Du Su'an changed the subject, How did you persuade Zhan En to give in?

Thales took a deep breath and tried to return to the present moment.

As you said, torture was used to extract a confession.

Du Su'an seemed unable to see that he was perfunctory, and shook his head seriously:

No, I know Zhan En, that would only be counterproductive. This guy seems to be gentle, but in fact... If you want him to submit...

Speaking of this, the eyes of the Humble people moved

Wait, you shouldn't be threatening him with his sister?

Thales was shocked, and the expression on his face slowed down.

Du Su'an accurately captured the inappropriateness of this moment.

But he didn't realize the pride and joy of the truth, but slowly opened his eyes wide, surprised and shocked:

Xi Ri, Maharaja, you...really? His sister? That's why he compromised?

Thales was taken aback, and quickly adjusted his mood to ask:

No, of course I didn't, threatening this kind of thing with the weakness of family affection...Why do you ask?

Du Su'an's expression remained unchanged, and he still looked at Thales in disbelief.

run.

What? Thales didn't react for a moment.

Run, Thales, my lovely little Diyeba.

In the next second, the Humble man seemed to understand something, he didn't care about the flaw in the title:

Run.

I do not understand--

Run as far as you can!

At this moment, Du Su'an was extremely serious, which made Thales dumbfounded:

Even if you run up the Mountain of Sighs, into Duseri, across the Ancient Land of Flame Sea, to Suye, to Misang, to the Indeterminate Ocean beyond the Seven Seas!

Lisheng Talal gritted his teeth:

Before Zhan En finally makes a move...to kill you completely.

【Supplementary information】

Some historical documents (excerpts) about the alliance between the Hanbul Dynasty and the Suye Kingdom and launching the Second Continental War:

Today, on the other side of the far sea, there are Taixi Hu thieves, one is called Xinghu, and the other is called Xuelu...

After the tyrant, the false emperor passed on the poison, drank blood from hair, picked grass for clothing, lived in a humble place, had few soldiers... Pretend to be a star, compared himself to a kingdom, used the system to usurp, repeatedly violated the power of heaven... Violent, the king is not a minister, Sheltering evil people and practices, the people have no shame, humble and filthy, the country runs out of livestock, abandons propriety and morality, the sky is always...

In the past, a battle ended and the building collapsed. I, the ancestor of the Chen family, was in line with the righteous way of heaven and earth. I knew how to choose the divine weapon. , the leaders are heroes, and the hundreds of nations are freed from slavery...

The world is established, Feng Zu is the most virtuous, forgive the evil son of the false emperor, Tuoshi Mengde, Suye Huairen, righteously release the evil leader of the northern captives, Naishi Karu... and Xu Jianguo, to enrich the people, take the place of the king, Mushou, and rank among the princes...Tuoshi Mengde Mr. Nai Erjun thought of Wang's great kindness, and he couldn't help crying. He kowtowed to the prime minister and swore to heaven.

It's a pity that his sons and heirs are stubborn, and they don't wholeheartedly guard the country and reform and repent to redeem their past sins... Wolves are born by nature, evil ones, evil secluded and harmful, causing far-reaching disasters... He hopes to be self-respecting...but it gets worse and worse, and he does not recognize the old evils of the false emperor; Dao, the evil is not forsaken, so today the evil of Xinghu, the harm of Xuelu... The evil is so great that although the mountains and mountains are not separated by thousands of miles, the harm is so deep that the sky is high and the sea is wide and cannot be tolerated...

Suye is orthodox, the world is co-lord, the artifact is in place, the four barbarians are salty, Weijia overseas, and all nations come to court... The Xiongzhongyuan used to shepherd the world, living in the Taixuan and commanding the nations...

Here is Kahandil, the king of Dahan, whose ancestor was named Ama, who righteously followed Fengzu to defeat the tyrant emperor, and his servants were left and right, loyal and uncompromising. Gong, not a vassal, has been passed down for a hundred years...

Now the fifth grandson of Ama Khan is in power, living in a remote place, being a barbarian, ignorant of the king's authority, and committing petty crimes frequently... My court is open-minded and open-minded, and does not care about small faults... If the king's master is angry, even though he is angry Must be punished, millions of heroes will be marched, and all the thieves will be crushed! How can there be any luck for the people of the other dynasty... Weigu Yuji has a gentle temperament, a gentle national policy, and a gentle and nurturing world... Nian Han's crimes against the border are actually because of embarrassment, but the people are innocent and can't bear to be burned. Forgive Kahandil's childish son Ignorant, so I keep a low profile and don't say anything, I give money and silk to save the other's troubles, let go of my faults, repay my grievances with virtue, and feel my heart...

Mu En was bestowed upon the people of the Han Kingdom, remembering the past events of Feng Zu, and suddenly came to their senses, stopped the army and asked for peace, repented of their sins, repented of their mistakes, and repented of their past mistakes... They are also very respectful and respectful, obeying my kingship, admiring my civilization , sincerely to me, loyal and upright... I am not stingy, I give ten thousand gold every year, donate the territory generously, and donate silk, food and horses, it is worthless, with the love of the king and father licking the calf and feeding the young, Ying Hanguo's children admire and respect him I hope that the country will be forever united with a good country, and that the world will rule the world together...

Today Han's envoys are humiliated by Xinghu Xuelu, and insulted by Taixi in the far sea...Khan is angry and sick, the people are terrified, and their lives are endless. The country is ashamed and the family is ashamed. The hands and feet are cut, the body is in pain, the fingers are connected to the heart, and the tears are stained on the lapel...Han is in trouble at home and abroad, he asks for soldiers and horses in Taixuan, and the Kahan is dying, begging the king to leave the holy capital...

Although he is lonely, he never forgets the teachings of Feng Zu: defending the public and protecting the Dao, never resigning from the great responsibility, helping the dangerous and the needy, how can you hesitate? Punish rape and eliminate violence, which is better for me... If you want righteousness for your brothers, you don't regret your life... So you send out righteous men, gather loyal and good people, gather kings, hold the road, and help brothers and feet...

For the sake of the world, why is it invincible? What can you do to defeat thieves with the kingly way? Gathering thousands of people to beg captives, nothing can be done... Crossing the mountains and crossing the sea, destroying Xinghu, the extremely evil snow captives to the barbarians, overcoming the thorns and thorns, eradicating the blood of the false emperor and the barbarian legacy...Suppressing the world with righteousness, and returning the universe to peace...The destiny For me, there is no way to kill!

The fourteen prefectures and the Siyi vassals were sent out at Suye, and the salty envoys knew well that the festivals of each prefecture followed the king's order, stopped the war and withdrew the troops, and went to the national war together.

If there are those who do not follow, Fengzu Lingjian, the world will strike together!
