"What's the matter, my lord?"

In the mayor's office, Hong San, who signed a new document and sent it over the Internet, turned his head and asked with a smile, "It's been a long time since I saw you look confused and hesitant."

Kant leaned against the floor-to-ceiling window and pondered.

"Good guy." The mayor of Yuangang touched his chin and said, "Could it be that His Majesty the Emperor said something remarkable in the letter, so that when Miss Wei Yunyuan saw it, she changed her strategy violently and reacted to it. You who are upright, loving, but gentle have done things that make you distressed and secretly happy?"

Hearing this, Kant, who is upright, fraternal but gentle, burst out, grabbed Hong San's neck and shook it: "You have the guts to say it! If you're willing to go for a trip, nothing will happen!"

Hong San stuck out his tongue in cooperation and made a **** ho sound, his face flushed red.

Seeing this, Kant let go of his hand, but he was still not relieved. He pressed his head against the table and rubbed it hard: "Damn, you are really an ungrateful thing, how dare you steal and play tricks!"

The real Aurora has no resistance, his head is rolled on the table, and he makes a vague voice: "Isn't this very good? Miss Wei Yunyuan is a natural beauty, and in my opinion, it is the heart of the lord. , Speaking of which, isn't this the type you never forget?"

Kant said abruptly: "What nonsense are you talking about! How dare you smear your lord's innocence out of thin air!"

"Why is it out of thin air?" Hong San called out, "When you were in Valentine, you pulled me and asked, 'Does your master have that kind of oriental beauty with fluttering white clothes, full of fairy spirit, elegant and dignified, just very special? The kind, shy and dignified introverted type', I still remember clearly, you call that 'black long straight'."

"After everything in the Far Harbor has been settled and the business is running normally, the local dignitaries want to send you a beautiful concubine, but you refused righteously. I heard that the maid of Aurora was sent, and you changed your face..."

Kant shouted: "Nonsense! Didn't I refuse?"

"My lord, you have to speak with conscience!" Hong San shouted, "Isn't it because I gave up my face to meet those dignitaries for you, and finally used a miniature camera to film the appearance of those Aurora maids and show them to you? You are not satisfied after reading it, you think they are banana people, but now they are showing a face that is not close to women!"

He struggled under the restraint of Kant: "Although I don't know what a banana man is, Miss Wei and the others aren't always a banana man, right? You've let you pick them all, but you are still pushing three and four!"

The protagonist who is not close to women said angrily: "What do you know? This is called the star palace is not destroyed, why is it home!"

As time went on, Hong San's courage was obviously getting fatter, and he exclaimed: "It's amazing, it turns out that the lord has been thinking about the Star Palace in the 20 years since he didn't come to the mainland!"

Kant, who was blown up, grabbed a cactus in the white mist world and planted it on the marble floor, and wanted to give Hong San a daily group activity for Chinese boys' middle school students—

It refers to the practical experiment of Newton's third law of scientific name Aruba.

Because of Hong San's calmness and courage, he was so frightened that he repeatedly apologized.

"Strange women have increased again."

Hong San squatted on the ground, curiously studying the seemingly dead cactus in front of him, listening to the lord sitting on the sofa sigh in a low voice.

The mayor carefully pulled out a thorn, put it on his hand and twisted it a few times, and replied casually, "Miss Wei Yunyuan is an amazing woman. If she truly respects the lord, there will be only good things and no bad things."

"I'm not talking about her." Kant sighed, "The emperor wants to recruit me as his son-in-law."

"It's a good thing." Hong San said without looking back, "Master has mentioned this a few times. Your Majesty's marriage to you will save the society's dignity, and it will also save the heavens of Shenzhou..."

"...Recruiting a husband-in-law and recruiting a son-in-law are two different things."

"Hey, Your Majesty has a daughter? No, the age is not right. Your Majesty is young, and he is the same age as the lord. Even if you have a daughter, it will not..."

When Hong San said this, he turned his head dully: "—the other one?"

Kant nodded slowly: "And listen to the emperor's tone, his daughters are most likely to be very thoughtful, powerful, very good at acting, and scorpion-hearted black-hearted beaches."

Hong San blinked: "I seem to have heard this from you, about a month or two ago when you talked about it, but no one took it to heart. We all know that you and the empire still have an account to settle."

Kant said in a sullen voice: "The emperor guessed my origin and realized the threat of the star palace, so if he wants to seek reconciliation with me, marrying his daughter is one of the conditions."

"In exchange, he will join hands with me to fight against the threat of Star Palace, let the Empire become our strength, eliminate all hostility and alertness, and stop meaningless internal friction."

Hong San whistled: "For the emperor, the oath formed by the marriage contract is too fragile, so he has other more important conditions to maintain the sincerity and value of this covenant, right?"

"That's right." The Earthman said slowly, in a calm tone, "He wants me to marry his daughter, get the law and claim, inherit his position, and be the next emperor."

Hong San's expression moved slightly: "Wow."

He was neither excited nor doubtful, his expression did not fluctuate greatly, but calmly analyzed.

"It sounds like a big pie, but considering that the two parties in the negotiation are him and you, this pie looks real and delicious. From the look of your hesitation, I know that the emperor's words and reasons have moved you. He must be logical and believable. So what makes you hesitate?"

"The benefits of reconciling with the empire are obvious, and even getting the full support of the emperor as the heir has made great progress in integrating the mortal world. We have saved a lot of time and energy, conflict with the empire and even the internal friction of war. and loss will not happen..."

Hong San asked tentatively, "The emperor's condition is to let the eldest prince go?"

"That's not true." Kant said helplessly, "Look at him like that, I just nodded, he will just take his daughters into the palace and let me choose. After choosing, he will directly arrange a room for me to go in. , if I snap, then when I pull up my pants and come out, I can see Alex kneeling in front of me. Since this process must be very long, the emperor even has time to prepare a full set of torture instruments for me."

"I see..." Hong San smiled, "Then I know."

Kant rolled his eyes and said, "What do you know?"

"You like to use the word 'sugar-coated cannonball', which can probably be understood as 'a steel knife wrapped in syrup', so, my lord, do you think the emperor's proposal is a sugar-coated cannonball?"

"I don't know." Kant said solemnly, "But he is the emperor. He can say those words to me and make such shocking suggestions. His purpose is definitely not just to confess to me."

"The lord can still maintain rationality and suspicion under this huge temptation, and he already has the appearance of a hero." Hong San stroked his hands and smiled, "No wonder the Supreme Emperor of the Empire also has a good eye on you."

"You no longer have any effect on flattering me, okay?"

"Yes, yes, I know that the lord has always maintained the highest degree of trust and favor for me, and no matter how flattering and flirting, it can't increase a bit."

"Suddenly saying such disgusting and nauseous words... has declined."

"That's incredible..." Hong San said with a smile, "But the lord is a lover of a generation, attracting all the beauties with peerless grace and beauty in the world, and he must be a first-class good man, and even the supreme emperor of the empire has seen through you. In essence, I must marry my daughter to you, such a stalwart, handsome, and unparalleled talented man will definitely not have the same knowledge as me, right?"

"…right."

Kant said this and raised his middle finger.

And Hong San also laughed happily.

He then sighed and suddenly said, "Maybe this is what His Majesty the Emperor wants, too?"

"Um?"

Hong San sat cross-legged directly on the ground and looked up at Kant: "It's like a joke with the lord, it happened in Valentine half a year ago, it happened in Far Harbor today, and it will definitely happen elsewhere in the future. Even three years, Five years, ten years or even further, even if our identities are far better than today, you have become the most honorable and greatest guardian of this world, and I have also become the important minister under your command."

"By then, we'll still be able to talk and laugh as we do today - I don't hesitate to believe."

He sighed: "Since ancient times, ministers who have meritorious deeds often end well in few people. Fighting the world is one face, and sitting in the world is another face. Both the ruler and the minister are on guard against each other. Power and interests distort people, and make loyalty and harmony. Friendship has turned sour... But I am loyal to the lord, I have never worried about such a thing, I have full confidence in you, and it is reassuring to know that you will not do that no matter what."

Having said this, Hong San repeated: "Maybe this is what the emperor wants."

Kant frowned: "This... doesn't make sense."

"Even the emperor has a heart, thoughts and desires. Beggars want the next meal, but the emperor will never worry about it. People will always chase what they want but can't have. The emperor is also a human being. , he also had something he couldn't get...and then he found you."

Hong San said this with a smile.

"Looking at it like this, you are indeed very suitable." He twisted his finger, "No worldly desires, only a superior morality and sense of responsibility, a slacker who has little interest in power itself, but has a strong power, Means and decisions. Nostalgic and tolerant towards those close to them, trustworthy and keeping promises, extremely affectionate, cold and suspicious towards enemies and outsiders…”

He laughed: "The more the emperor sees you, the more he likes it. It's normal. From this point of view, you are a perfect prince."

"The emperor wants a perfect heir who will not pose a threat, he wants a minister who is capable but not a challenge, and he wants a friend who is not afraid of power and has no desire for him, you are almost three of them. The perfect combination of your character, strength, and moral code has given him immense trust and confidence."

Kant said with disgust: "Why the **** can I only attract this kind of old man?"

Hong San smacked his lips and said nothing.

Maybe this is the Versailles the Lord said.

"I still think he has other plans." Kant rubbed his brows and said, "His logic is flawless, all his actions are well-founded, and reconciliation with me is indeed the best choice, but I always feel that his The purpose is more than that... It's true that he can recruit me as his son-in-law and heir, to be able to keep his country and withstand crises and risks, but he must be more than satisfied."

He hesitated for a moment, then whispered: "And..."

"And you have an instinctive hostility and desire to destroy the nobles or the privileged class. If you really have the opportunity to rule the empire, you will definitely do the things you did in the Far Harbor within the empire... right?"

"Yes."

"Fight against the entire imperial aristocracy system, destroy them, and even go against the imperial royal family... If it is a stranger, it is fine, if it is an acquaintance or even a comrade-in-arms and subordinate who has fought side by side, you are a little bit helpless. Any concerns?"

"…Um."

Hearing Hong San explain his hesitations and hesitations, Kant nodded, and his heart became relaxed.

Only he can read it clearly, and understand it.

Although Tina loved him very much, she was from a noble family after all. Although the parrot knew him better than anyone else, she had long been alienated and indifferent to human nature and people's hearts.

Familiar laughter echoed in his ears.

"Speak as if you were going to show mercy to Goethe."

Kant blinked, stunned.

"Even we all know about your bullying of the Grand Duke." Hong Sanshi laughed, "Isn't the plan to annex Goethe also made and ordered by you? The Rebellion Society has already been dispatched, cooperate with the Unity Department, right? The nobles within the empire have carried out a wide range of... well, strategic misdirection."

He shrugged. "What's the codename for the operation? Oh, never the Air Force."

Saying this, he smiled warmly and looked up at Kant.

"Since it's a sugar-coated cannonball, then come here as usual, and lick the sugar-coating off." He advised, "Since the emperor is sincere, let's respond. The threat of the star palace is imminent, and the problem of a council is big enough to solve. The council, the implementation of the North-South plan, and the annexation and management of Goethe will consume a lot of our energy and strength. To seek the empire, I am afraid that the time will be too late. "

"After all, at this moment, fighting against the Star Palace is the highest and only goal, isn't it?"

Hong San got up and said earnestly: "Even if it's just a honeymoon period with the empire, we can take the opportunity to get what we want. No matter what the emperor has planned, we will do what we want to do - then again , sugar-coated cannonballs, isn't that what we do best?"

The two looked at each other, Hong San smiled casually, and bowed to Kant.

Like a counselor who has made a plan.

"You're right."

Kant slowly took out the recorder from his pocket and pressed the stop button.

Hong San's smile was a little shaken: "This... lord, what is this doing?"

"If Tina loses her temper because of this, I'll show her this and say you persuaded me."

"...Hey, my lord, isn't it bad to do this?"

"It doesn't matter, Tina will unconditionally agree to everything I'm going to do anyway, she just told me to coax her out of tantrums, and of course I'll coax her, but today's recording of the conversation is a step down for her. , still very suitable, let Tina think that I was blinded by a traitor..."

"—Don't you really understand! Why are you so keenly aware of women's minds when you use me? Wouldn't it be better if it was like this every day!?"

Hong San was both angry and funny, but said helplessly: "You really..."

Kant took the recorder back, was silent for a moment, and suddenly laughed.

"The world is impermanent. I used to think about how to enter the imperial court and seize the bird seat. How can my relationship with the emperor become like this in a blink of an eye."

He sighed.

"Normal." Hong San, as a visitor, also thought of Huisha Town's first encounter, and laughed softly, "This world is impermanent and unpredictable, and who can imagine it."

Kant was silent.

"So, Lord, please go to the imperial court more these days." He smiled, "It is also good to use your personal charm to enhance some friendship with the emperor. From your description, although His Majesty the emperor is ruthless and fierce , but if you meet the right person, a certain emotion that has been accumulated, scarce and desired over the years will explode."

Kant squinted and said, "You understand very well?"

Hong San shrugged and replied, "It's similar to Master."

"Then why don't you suggest me to deepen my relationship with your master?"

"Master, the old man doesn't need it at all."

Hong San coped like this, but smiled bitterly in his heart.

- Over the past few months, every time Master has a great conversation with the lord, and when he sees himself after he comes back, he must have a bad face, and even hit him twice.

Hit him twice, just hit him twice, his eyes are always looking down at him, making him tremble with fear.

"So, you are still broken in Tucson."

The master's words brought him back to reality, and Hong San raised his head in surprise.

Kant shook his fingers and said: "This kind of middle-aged and elderly people in their forties and fifties have been wearing masks for a lifetime. In reality, no matter who they are facing, they can't let go of their hands and feet. The one who can really let him unlock the mask. , is the online world - chatting online is sometimes more useful than face-to-face in real life."

"Huh? You mean?"

"I left him a mobile phone and a radio, and Horus set up a secondary intelligence in the imperial court to transmit data to him." Kant laughed, "A'Fu has promised to design a set for the emperor for an old man of his age. Memes for men...he'll love it."

He got up from the sofa and patted Hong San on the shoulder.

"Thanks... After hearing what you said, I have a clue. I will try to establish trust and cooperation with the emperor. As you said, even if there is only one honeymoon period, it is still good."

"We can count on the empire, with its vast territory, large population and strong national power, to bring benefits to the cause against the Star Palace, but I have never relied on and believed in these nobles."

"The emperor will see it, and I will let him see it."

"So, are you ready, my mayor."

Kant's hand was hanging in the air, looking at the man in front of him with an expectant smile.

"—Let us sound the horn of war together."

"All my passion, sweat, courage and dedication for the rest of my life is for this moment, for this moment in the future, for all your wars."

Hong San's hand held it up: "I am your scout, your Paoze, your comrade."

As a result, after a long and peaceful period, the peaceful Far Harbor once again ushered in hustle and bustle, all non-essential production activities were temporarily suspended, and all non-essential daily activities were announced to be suspended.

The broadcasting system is online, the TV system is online, the UAV system is online, the armed forces enter the school grounds, the air force roars across the sky, and the melodious sound floats in the city. The battle is about to begin.

war.

Far Harbor is about to experience war again.

When the news of the aggression was confirmed, Yuangang did not fall into chaos and panic. The people of Aurora who had just arrived were surprised to find that this bustling city had turned from lively to calm, but there was no panic and anxiety in the calm, but brewing With an...expectation that made them feel unfamiliar.

His Highness Kant's speech started twenty minutes later, and ten minutes ago, a secretly circulating gossip broke all the calm, causing waves and even chaos.

someone said…

- The event is reopening!

PS1: The content of this chapter is rushing to 10,000 words again, and the rhythm of writing is endless. I originally wanted to ask for leave and then combine the 40-character chapter, but I feel that the leave is not good, and I can’t finish it, so I still separate it here. Well, forget it, let’s post two chapters.
