Chapter 129 Meet the Emperor(2/3)
Zifeng glanced at me and said: "Captain Tianyun, you have spoken. I should have agreed, but Lei Xiang himself is..."
Tianyun smiled and said: "I know. I know that Lei Xiang has the blood of an orc, but he also has human blood, doesn't he? I hope the Duke will not have such racial prejudices."
Both Zi Yan and Zi Yan's eyes fell on me in surprise, seeming to be very interested in my orc blood.
Under Tianyun's pressure, Zifeng nodded helplessly and said: "Well, since the leader said so, I can only agree."
Tianyun said: "Your Excellency, I can assure you on Lei Xiang's behalf that your daughter will not suffer any loss if she marries him." He turned around and said to King Zi Yan: "Your Majesty, I am rude."
Zi Yan frowned and said: "Captain, you said Lei Xiang is an orc? This..."
Tianyun said: "Your Majesty, Lei Xiang is indeed an orc. He is not only an orc, but also a hybrid of humans, demons, and orcs. Moreover, he also has an identity, and is the current commander-in-chief of the entire army of the orc country."
As soon as Tianyun said this, everyone except me and Li Feng lost their voices at the same time: "What?" Even Zifeng didn't know my status in the orc country, let alone Zi Yan and Zi Yan.
Zi Yan's face suddenly darkened, and he looked at me warily.
Tianyun said calmly: "Your Majesty, you should know about the dispute between the demon clan and the orc clan a few days ago. Lei Xiang was involved in it. It was he who led the orc army. When the force was weaker than the opponent,
He occupied a province of the Demon Tribe and forced the Demon Tribe to change its attitude towards the orcs. His father was the deceased King Leo of Behemoth."
Zi Yan stood up from the throne, walked to Tianyun, and said: "Captain Tianyun, since he is an enemy, why did you bring him here? I believe you are absolutely loyal to the empire.
,But, I hope you can give me an explanation."
Tianyun smiled slightly and said: "Of course, I will definitely give you a reasonable explanation. First of all, although Lei Xiang is the commander-in-chief of the entire army of the Orc Kingdom, he has no ill intentions towards humans. He himself has human blood.
He has also promised me that he will never do anything that harms our Dragon God Empire. Secondly, I brought him here this time to be his matchmaker for the sake of the peace of the mainland. Your Majesty, are you
I have to tell you something. With Lei Xiang’s current skill, no one in the empire can compete with him except me. Even I may not be able to defeat him for sure. For such a powerful opponent, you are
Choosing cooperation or choosing hostility?”
Zi Yan looked at Tianyun in surprise and said, "You, are you saying that his skill is similar to yours?"
Tianyun nodded and said: "Furthermore, his progress is so fast that even I am surprised. I have an idea. If it can be realized, it can ensure the peace of the empire for a hundred years, and there will be no more conflicts with demons and orcs."
War, in this way, can avoid the devastation caused by war. And this idea is based on Lei Xiang's marriage. Your Majesty, now you should be able to understand why I brought him here, right?"
Zi Yan seemed unable to accept this reality for a while, and looked at me blankly, with an unusually solemn expression on his face.
I took a few steps forward and said seriously: "Your Majesty, Tianyun is right, my mother is a human. I have promised her that I will never lead troops against humans. I can guarantee this with my honor.
At the same time, my love for the two beloved daughters of Duke Zifeng is completely sincere. Before coming here, I had already discussed with Captain Tianyun, hoping that through this wedding, the three tribes could reach a peace agreement, so that humans, demons
There will no longer be disputes between the tribe and the orcs.”
Zi Yan took a deep breath and said to the sky: "Captain, I still can't believe that Lei Xiang has the same strength as you. How is it possible at his current age? At the same time, with your Holy Dragon Knights here, the safety of the empire is
Guaranteed. I don’t want this matter to end up with someone seeking skin from a tiger. How can you trust me..."
Hearing what he said, I suddenly became angry and said coldly: "Your Majesty, you must be clear that this matter does not cause any harm to your Dragon God Empire, and it is not my original intention. If it were not for Tianyun's repeated requests,
I won't agree to it. If you have any doubts, just drop the matter."
"Lei Xiang." Tianyun glanced at me, "Your Majesty, can you please listen to what I have to say? Don't jump to conclusions so quickly. My plan is to have Lei Xiang's wedding held outside Stru Fortress, including the Duke.
The Lord’s two beloved daughters, he has a total of four confidantes, including the Demon Emperor’s most beloved daughter. When the time comes, the Beast Emperor and the Demon Emperor will definitely be there. All members of our Holy Dragon Knights will protect the safety of you and the empire.
, there won’t be any accidents. Your Majesty, can’t you trust me?”
There was hesitation in Zi Yan's eyes. It seemed that he still cared about my identity.
Tianyun continued: "Lei Xiang told me that after he gets married, he will live in seclusion and not care about worldly affairs, and I can rest assured. Lei Xiang is a good boy with a sense of justice, and I can trust him."
Zi Yan was stunned and said: "Captain, what do you mean by what you said?"
Tianyun sighed and said: "Your Majesty, I am a human being. There is always a limit to human lifespan, and we will eventually die. Before I die, I hope to make the empire more stable."
Zi Yan was startled and said: "Captain, you mean..."
Tianyun said sadly: "Yes, I will die soon. I hope you can agree to this matter in view of the veteran minister's contribution to the empire over the years. If this happens, the empire will have nothing to worry about."
This old guy Tianyun is really awesome. He told me just now that he would live for decades, but now he has said that he will live for a short time. I really don’t know which of his words is true. It seems that I was also fooled just now.
I said to the sky: "You, the Dragon God Empire, have nothing to worry about. Are you still afraid that I will regret it?"
Tianyun said: "No, I believe you, but don't you hope there will be fewer unnecessary sacrifices on the mainland?"
Zi Yan looked at Zifeng and said, "Duke, what do you mean?"
Zifeng nodded and said: "Your Majesty, Captain Tianyun is right. I also believe that the demon and beast tribes will not have any tricks. At the same time, I also trust Lei Xiang. I have to say it now.
, you should remember that you also have a younger sister, right?"
Zi Yan's expression changed and he said, "Are you talking about Miss Yun who disappeared?"
Zifeng nodded and said: "Yes, I have told you before about my relationship with Princess Ziyun. You should still remember it. Not long ago, I finally found Princess Ziyun, and she was Lei Xiang's
Mother. Speaking of which, you are Lei Xiang’s biological uncle, so I absolutely believe that Lei Xiang will not harm our country."
Zi Yan said happily: "You mean Yun Mei is still alive?" His hands trembled slightly with excitement, and his original majestic image suddenly became more emotional.
Zifeng nodded and said: "Yes, and we are in the capital now."
I frowned and said, "Your Majesty, my mother is living a very good life now. I don't want her to be disturbed."
Zi Yan glanced at me, his eyes a little complicated. He just looked at me like this. For a long time, he sighed and said, "My child, you should call me uncle."
My heart moved, and I immediately understood that he had accepted me. I knelt down and said, "I've met my uncle."
Zi Yan helped me up and said, "Although I am a few years older than your mother, we have been together since we were children. The late emperor only had two children like us."
There was a hazy look in his eyes, as if he was recalling the past events of his childhood: "I only have this one sister. After she went missing with the late emperor on the expedition, we searched almost all over the empire, and sent capable personnel several times to fight against demons and beasts.
The two clans searched for her, but there was still no whereabouts of her. I didn’t expect that she is still alive. It’s great, it’s great. Lei Xiang, why doesn’t your mother come to see me?”
Zi Yan's affection for his mother greatly increased my affection for him, and I also recognized this uncle even more.
I sighed and said: "My mother is very worried. She often says that she has no shame to see her relatives again. Besides, you are the king of a country now, so..."
Zi Yan said angrily: "What are she saying? No matter what time, she will always be my sister. No, I must see her and take her back to the palace."
Zifeng said anxiously: "Your Majesty, I don't think this is appropriate. What Princess Ziyun wants most now is a comfortable life. I'm afraid the palace is not suitable for her."
I nodded and said, "That's what the Duke said."
Tears loomed in Zi Yan's eyes, and he said painfully: "Mei Yun, you have suffered. Lei Xiang, since you are my nephew, I have no doubts. Let's do everything as Captain Tianyun said. Uncle.
Mother, child, if you have any problems in the future, just tell me and my uncle will help you solve it. Duke! Is it okay for my nephew to be your son-in-law? "
Seeing that Zi Yan no longer insisted on seeing her mother, Zifeng breathed a sigh of relief and said: "Yes, in fact, I originally planned to betroth my daughter to Lei Xiang. The relationship between them is no longer something that I, the father, can change.
."
Zi Yan laughed loudly and said: "Okay, okay, today is really a triple blessing. I not only welcomed Captain Tianyun, but also found my sister, and my nephew also has a home. It's great. Lei Xiang, I'm waiting for you.
After you get married, stay in the capital. If you want to join the court, your uncle will definitely give you a satisfactory official position."
He was still trying to win over me. After all, I had the title of Commander-in-Chief of the Orc Army. I shook my head and said, "There is no need to join the court. Your Majesty, after I get married, I will take my wife and look around on the mainland, and I will not hold any position again."
If you have time, I will definitely come back to see you."
Zi Yan glanced at Tianyun and said: "Well, I won't force you. Captain Tianyun, please continue talking about Xiang'er's marriage. My nephew's wedding must be grand, and we must not let the devil
, the two beast tribes have underestimated it.”
Tianyun smiled knowingly at me and said: "In this case, the date will be set in three months. This period of time is enough for us to prepare. This time the event must be more grand. I plan to do it before the wedding is officially held.
It is up to you to meet with the Demon King and the Beast King to discuss the peace talks. The specific details will have to be arranged by the defenders of Stru Fortress. In a few days, I will go there directly to make arrangements and set a specific date.
I’ll report back to you.”
Zi Yan nodded and said: "Okay, that's it. Captain Tianyun, I just ordered the following to prepare for the state banquet. The reason why the Dragon God is in today's situation is largely due to you and the Holy Dragon Knight."
I want to have a good drink with you today."
Tianyun smiled and said: "Then I will be disrespectful."
I took a step forward and said, "Your Majesty, I will not attend this state banquet. When I came out, my mother had already started preparing lunch for me. She had been away for a while and I wanted to have a good time with her."
Zi Yan was stunned for a moment, thought for a moment, and said, "Okay then, greet her for me."
I nodded and said: "I will definitely do it, uncle, then I will go back first."
Tianyun said: "Lei Xiang, I will definitely take care of the wedding. I will come back to you in a few days."
"Thank you then." I emphasized the word "thank you" specially.
After I left the palace, I breathed a sigh of relief. My heart was ups and downs. I suddenly had a frightening feeling, as if something was going to happen at the wedding. I shook my head vigorously to wake myself up.
Alas, it’s hard to even think about becoming famous this time.
Part of the reason why I didn't attend the state banquet was my mother. In addition, I really wanted to see my beloved Zi Yan and Zixue as soon as possible. After being away for a while, I missed them very much.
I thought I wouldn't have to separate from them when I came back this time, but I didn't expect that I would have to go to the Orc Kingdom and the Demon Clan respectively for the wedding. I really didn't know how to explain it to them.
I quickly returned home and pushed the door straight in. As soon as I entered, I heard laughter like silver bells coming from the wooden house. I didn't know who was so happy.
I walked to the wooden house in two steps, and the door opened just in time. Because I was too fast, I immediately bumped into Bai Jian who had just ran out of the door. I saw her face was red and she looked extremely cute.
I subconsciously hugged her delicate body and said, "Sister Jian'er, what's wrong with you?"
Her body was extremely soft, like hugging a ball of cotton. It was very comfortable. I couldn't help but hug her harder.
