Gold is Justice

Hearing the praise of sugar-coated wine, Chao Chao seemed to have found a life-saving straw, and he immediately felt at ease.He nodded slightly, and said with a smile: "That's good, that's good. Sigh, these things have really made my head hurt and irritable recently... If it weren't for you and your Du Lengjia , I really don’t know what to do.”

Sugar-coated wine smiled and was humble again.

At this time, there was another knock on the door, and soon, as the most powerful person in the entire Blue Bay Empire other than the emperor——Duke Jin Guo, he opened the door and walked in.

After seeing the sugar-coated wine, the Duke of Jinguo didn't have a good look on his face.Sugar-coated wine immediately smiled after seeing Duke Jinguo's face, then turned and left.

After the sugar-coated wine walked out of the door, Duke Jin Guo glanced at the emperor who was slumped on the seat, with undisguised disgust in his eyes, walked over, and pulled Tidal up from the seat.

"Now you are the emperor of the Blue Bay Empire, my daughter's husband, and the current queen's support! Looking at you now, you really don't want to be alone!"

It didn't take long for the tide that was pulled up to collapse on the chair again, but judging from his expression, he seemed to have recovered a little. Looking at Duke Jin Guo, he smiled dully at the corner of his mouth and said: " Oh, it turned out to be you~~~ My empire will always be great! As long as you have the help of the Duke, our empire will prosper forever! Haha, hahahaha!"

It's a pity that Jin Guo is not so easy.He snorted and clapped his hands heavily on the table.

The huge sound shocked the tide and he came back to his senses a little bit. He widened his eyes and stared at the old man in front of him.

And Duke Jin Guo’s eyes are also fixed on the tide now, and he didn’t speak until he seemed to wake up a little bit——

"According to our information, the sea armed forces of the Demon King's Army will approach Hanhai City in about half a month. Those deep-sea monsters may not be able to land and fight, but those devil ships are not so easy. We must immediately gather all our strength , be ready for this desperate battle."

"There's... half a month?"

Tidal, who had been immersed in the pleasure just now, finally became a little sober after hearing the time limit.He quickly came back to his senses, and said: "Then...then we should move out as soon as possible! My costumes, and the manuscripts of those songs! Those are all my painstaking efforts... No, I have to let the servants Just pack it right away!" Seeing that Tide was about to get up from the seat, Jin Guo immediately stretched out his hands to hold down the panicked man, and at the same time stretched out a pair of hands like iron pincers, firmly clamping him shoulder, looking into his eyes, said—

"Your Majesty, anyone can escape, but you can't. You are the emperor of the Blue Bay Empire. As an emperor, if you escape casually, the foundation of our entire empire will collapse. To put it bluntly, you Even if you die, you must die on the throne. This is the fate of the emperors of the Blue Bay Empire."

Listening to Duke Jin Guo's words, Chao Chao's face turned blue and white.

Now he could only sit blankly on the chair, staring blankly at the duke and father-in-law in front of him.

Afterwards, Duke Jin Guo let out a little breath and said: "But don't worry, even if you risk my life, I will protect you. Just like I will protect my daughter and my granddaughter. Jin The Guo family has always been the best servants of the Blue Bay Empire, and our Jin Guo family will always be loyal to the Blue Bay Empire and to you, Your Majesty."

At that moment, some tears began to gather in Chao Chao's eyes that were originally empty.

After a while, he suddenly reached out and grabbed the sleeve of Duke Jin Guo in front of him. His wide eyes no longer looked like a majestic emperor, but more like a wronged man who was seeking a safe haven. crying child.

Looking at such a tide, Duke Jin Guo once again felt nauseated in his heart.However, the reality does not allow him to give up the man in front of him now.After all, it has come to this point, and the Duke's Mansion was deeply tied to the name Blue Bay Empire early on.No one can do without anyone, and no one can betray anyone.

At this point, even if there is a lot of reluctance in his heart, he still has to explain the current situation to the man in front of him: "Your Majesty, there is something I want to tell you clearly."

Chao Chao raised his head, looked at Jin Guo with a submissive face, and nodded silently.

Jin Guo: "That Ariel Garcia is the Marquis you canonized, your former mistress in name, this time she is bringing her [-] rebels, and she is coming to Hanhai City. She also expressed her willingness to sign a truce with us agreement, and form an alliance to resist the attack of the Demon King's army together."

Hearing this number at first, Chao Chao was stunned for a moment, and said, "Thirty... thirty thousand?! She...she... can now gather... thirty thousand?!"

Jin Guo nodded, and said with regret on his face: "I can only say that this woman's charm magic is too terrible. How can there be so many people in the world who are bewitched by her and are willing to follow such a person who betrayed their own country? In essence, she is still an ungrateful slave after all, a beast that does not know gratitude and respect. It's just that this beast just has a beautiful human skin, which conceals her insidious, cunning and murderous appetite. The nature of blood allows her to do such a treasonous thing as betraying her motherland without psychological pressure."

"However, no matter how terrifying this beautiful beast is, she is now planning to form an alliance with us and come to Hanhai City to help us resist the Demon King's army. This is a point that can be used after all."

Tidal nodded lightly and said, "Then... what should we do now?"

Duke Jin Guo continued: "The method is very simple. Now we must solve the problem of the Demon King's army. Therefore, we can temporarily agree to a truce with the other party and form an alliance. But when forming an alliance, we must insist on using Blue Bay The empire is orthodox, and those rebels are able to join the resistance camp against the Demon King’s army in order to assist the royal family.”

"Then, the reason for the alliance between us was announced to the outside world. After all, Marquis Ariel Garcia still misses His Majesty's tenderness, misses the previous loving relationship, and is willing to temporarily put aside the suspicion between each other and fight the enemy together first. After that, we should have a good discussion to resolve the misunderstanding between each other."

Chao Chao was stunned for a moment, his head might still be a bit unsightly due to the previous Du Lengjia, after hesitating for a long time, he said: "So...is it really okay?"

Duke Jin Guo nodded lightly, and said: "Since those rebels established their legion, they have been declaring to resist the Demon King Army, hoping to form an alliance with various forces to fight against this terrible monster legion. Since this It's the setting they set up for themselves, so they shouldn't go back on their promises. If they can't agree to our little request, then their so-called proposal to put down the hatred between each other and fight against the Demon King's army together first It’s just empty words.”

Tidal nodded lightly, and after thinking for a while, he suddenly asked again: "Then...then, what happens after repelling the Demon King's army? The total of our current defense forces in the city is only a little over 3." , if her [-] people call directly...!"

Duke Jin Guo smiled and said: "Don't worry, as long as this woman agrees to the conditions of our alliance in advance, we will immediately announce these alliance agreements to the world. After we use them to repel the Demon King's army, we will hold a banquet to entertain including that woman." A group of generals inside. Then we will use our Magic Association, the Holy See of Light and the Knights of the Inner Court to take them down together, and then declare that this woman is willing to stay with Your Majesty. In this way, her [-] The army is equivalent to returning to our Blue Bay Empire immediately, and the problem of these rebels will be solved, right?"

After listening to Duke Jin Guo's introduction, Chao Chao finally had a reassuring smile on his face.He nodded again and again, slumped on the seat and exhaled a long breath, and said, "If it can really be solved like this... that would be great, really great..."

Duke Jin Guo also laughed and said: "Of course, we still have an insurance policy. After all, apart from the [-] troops of these rebels, the Fire Blade Empire, which is located next to the Murderous Seat Empire, has agreed to send troops to us to fight together. Demon King Army. It’s just that they have to pass through the Murderer Seat Empire, which is basically no one in charge. Thousands of troops will come to help us. At that time, whether it is the Demon King Army or the rebels of the Mermaid Army, it will be nothing to worry about."

Finally, the good news came out one after another from the mouth of Duke Jin Guo, which finally made the emperor completely relieved.

He let out a long sigh of relief, as if he had seen the sun rise after completely defeating the Demon King's army, he was completely relaxed.

And once he relaxed, the always nervous emperor tilted his head and began to snore softly from his nose.

Seeing this, Duke Jin Guo bent down, helped the emperor up from his seat, put him on the sofa next to him, let him lie down, and then pulled a blanket over his body, then turned around and left The emperor's office.

only……

When the door of the office was closed again, completely isolating the seemingly warm world inside from the cold passage outside, the gentle smile on Duke Jin Guo's face also disappeared in that instant.

Turning around, the sullen Duke of Jinguo walked along the passage towards the outside of the castle.In the corridor, his sons were also fully armed now. After seeing their father walking out with a solemn expression, they all followed closely without saying a word.

After walking out of a corridor, suddenly, Duke Jin Guo and his son stopped in their tracks.And it was none other than the current queen standing in front of them, holding the current first princess of the Blue Bay Empire, Alice Bilan, who made them stop.

"Father..."

Seeing Duke Jinguo's complexion, Alice also saw that something was wrong.

At this moment, she was wearing a velvet cloak, and the slightly bloated clothing seemed to be unable to conceal the beauty on her body that was favored by all the gods in the entire world.And the little princess, Mei Liti Bilan, who she held by her left hand, seemed to be a five-year-old girl. She stared at the people in front of her with her big black eyes.

"Meliti, come, call grandpa."

After the initial nervousness, Alice recovered her expression as soon as possible, bent down, put her arms around her daughter, and coaxed her.

Chapter 570 and then to the capital

After Duke Jin Guo saw his granddaughter, he put on a little bit of displeasure on his face, but after all, he half-kneeled in front of his granddaughter and smiled: "My good granddaughter, do you still remember grandpa? Come on, call I call grandpa."

Little Mei Liti timidly looked at the white-haired old man in heavy armor and a sword, and finally shouted timidly: "Grandpa..."

With this address, the older brothers of Alice gathered together one after another, praising this little niece for being cute and beautiful. Some older brothers even seemed to have been prepared for a long time, and took out a bunch of small bracelets made of gold and jade. On Meliti's wrist.

While the sons were interacting with the granddaughter, Jin Guo got up and looked at his daughter Alice.

And Alice is also looking at her father now, and the tension and anxiety in her eyes can no longer be concealed.

"Let's go over there and talk, don't let our little princess hear."

After Duke Jin Guo said something, he turned around and walked a dozen steps away.Alice also let the maids stay where they were, and walked over alone.

After approaching her father, Alice hesitated for a moment before finally speaking first: "Father... I know, you don't like Meliti's name...you must... must be blaming me... for giving her Take such a name..."

Duke Jin Guo snorted softly, and it could be heard from his tone that he was indeed a little annoyed.

But after a while, the old father sighed again, put his hands behind his back, and said helplessly: "I know, I know after all that I can't blame you for this matter. If you want to blame, I can only blame you for pampering you too much when I was young. You told so many stories about mermaids. I used to think that these stories were made up by sailors to deceive people. But now, I finally understand why those sailors think mermaids are the most terrifying monsters in the world ...really, it's too scary..."

Alice: "Father... that... after all, it's just a set of legends..."

Duke Jin Guo raised his hand, preventing his daughter from continuing.After a while, he sorted out his mood and said, "I don't blame you for naming that woman Ariel. You named your own daughter Meliti—the daughter of the legendary Siren Princess. Name, then I don’t blame you. I just hate how I didn’t notice the viciousness and cruelty of this woman at the beginning. Over the years, I never thought that I would miss anyone... But I found that I might really There is nothing to look at a woman's eyes."

Alice: "Father..."

Duke Jin Guo took a deep breath and said again: "Don't talk about these sad things. Since I met you this time, it's okay, I'll come to you next time if it's saved. I need you to take care of some things, these things If you do it well, then you will have a great contribution to the entire Blue Bay Empire."

Hearing her father said that she could be of great use, Alice's eyes brightened immediately, and she said quickly: "My lord father! Tell me, what can I do for you? I will do my best!"

Duke Jin Guo nodded, very pleased that his daughter is at least willing to solve his problems, and then said: "The matter is very simple. In a few days, that sea monster will come to Hanhai City and sign an alliance agreement with us. Let’s not invade, let’s fight against the Demon King’s army together.”

When she first heard the word "Alliance Agreement", Alice was excited again!But soon, she realized that her father used the word "sea monster" to refer to her best girlfriend and best friend, and in an instant, she seemed to understand the meaning behind it .

"Father...you mean...?"

At this point, Alice's voice even trembled a little.

Duke Jin Guo nodded slightly, and said with an expectant expression: "That's right. Although the sea monster is willing to sign an alliance agreement with us, the alliance agreement alone is not enough. Moreover, that sea monster is very cunning, She knows that she has no fighting power, so she will definitely not put herself in danger. Even when signing the contract, she will definitely have requirements for the place and time."

"What I need you to do is to take advantage of the relationship between you and that siren, and try my best to keep her away from her army and her guards, and come to the trap we set for her. When the time comes , we can better control her."

Upon hearing these words, Alice's footsteps seemed a little staggered instantly, she was a little unsteady, and even hit her back heavily against the wall behind.

Hearing the voice from over there, Little Mei Liti finally missed her mother a little bit. She turned her head and just happened to see her mother's pale face leaning against the wall, her face full of fear.The little girl was also starting to get scared now, and couldn't help crying out loud.

However, her uncles and uncles did not let the maid take the little princess away, but surrounded her and "teased" her more cheerfully.

Seeing her daughter being surrounded, Alice was also a little frightened for a moment, and instinctively took a step towards her daughter.But before she finished this step, the Duke of Jin Guo had already stretched out his hand and firmly blocked her way.

"Father... Lord Father..."

"Why? Is there any reason to hesitate? You said just now that you will work hard for the Blue Bay Empire." "But...but Ariel...she...I...I don't know... "

Seeing his daughter's hesitant expression now, Duke Jin Guo's face became as cold as ice, and he said slowly: "You are just worried about your good friend, but have you ever thought about Philip?"

Alice was taken aback: "Brother Philip?"

Duke Jin Guo nodded again: "That's right. Philip participated in the first siege of the Marginal Province, and that woman also used a weapon called Fire Meteor in that war, and cast it in an extremely distant place. The meteorite technique that could only be released by several master-level magicians destroyed Philip's camp in an instant. It even used an elemental car that was more terrifying than a war horse, equipped with an elemental gun."

"The five thousand troops led by your brother Philip were all defeated in less than one night. Even Philip himself was captured, and he was finally released after being humiliated."

"This kid was originally my favorite, he had received the best military training, and he was very likely to lead the imperial army on the battlefield in the future. But that battle turned your brother Philip into a man who hides in the room all day Here, seeing even a little bit of fire will yell in fear, and even a cripple who tried to kill himself several times."

"Alice, you are my daughter. You miss the friendship between you and that sea monster, but when did that sea monster care about our Jinguo family's care for her? Didn't Philip never see her when he was a child, and it's not that he didn't treat her well. Reciprocate with a smile. As the duke, how have we ever treated the servants who served us badly? Speaking out, the servants who are slaves in our duke's mansion go out, who can hold their heads up higher than ordinary civilians? Even those who The lower nobles are more arrogant?"

"However, she is completely ungrateful, and she doesn't care about the kindness you have given her and our family. We have trained her so that she can read and write, so that she can look so delicate and beautiful. She uses Treating our family in this way? Alice, think about it carefully, when you are always thinking about her, why did she ever think about us?"

The author said: I found a great reading website: Lanwen.com Address: LANWENS.COM

Alice's face turned red and then pale, as if she was moved by her father.The images of being with Ariel in the past kept flashing in her mind. When they were young, the two played together, read and wrote together, she helped herself bathe and dress, and helped herself to sleep. She could call Ariel for anything, It's like a sisterhood that's been together since birth...

But on the other side, it is the family, and it is his mission as the queen of the Blue Bay Empire...

"She... Ariel, she..."

After a long time, Alice finally breathed a sigh of relief, swallowed, and said——

"She...is very smart. If I just invite her like this...she can't be fooled..."

However, when the Duke of Jin Guo heard what his daughter said, he already knew that there is only one last reason missing now, as long as the last reason is suitable, then everything can be resolved.

As for the reason...

After thinking for a while, Duke Jin Guo turned his head inadvertently, and saw the little princess Mei Litian who was surrounded by his own sons and kept crying in fear...

"The godmother of our little princess seems to be the siren, isn't it?"

At that moment, Alice felt her body tremble suddenly, a deep cold that seemed to be able to coagulate blood began to emerge from the soles of her feet, like a poisonous snake, began to crawl towards her heart...

After five years, when she came to Hanhai City again, everything in front of her eyes made Ariel feel like a lifetime away.

When Ariel was riding on the horse, looking at the imperial capital shrouded in dark clouds in the distance, looking at the blue castle that was supposed to be full of majesty and magnificence, and could even serve as the only guiding lighthouse in this sea area, Now is also such a time of eclipse, and the thoughts in her heart are turned upside down.
