Chapter One Thousand Ninety-Nine Avit looks to the south, Shulot looks to the east, but the sea ships come from the west...
"Your Majesty! How is it?..."
"Eckart, you and Terkos are supporting me...don't say anything, we'll talk about it when we get back!..."
"yes!…"
The setting sun is like rouge, smearing the sky and lake light. The red clouds in the White City are gentle, and the temple is towering, but it is a little softer. Xiulote raised his head slightly, and slowly walked towards the prince's palace with the support of the captain of the guard and the shield guard.
Walking in the middle of the lake, the distant sounds of evening prayers sounded throughout the capital city, as if floating on the clouds.
“It’s so beautiful!…The capital in the lake, the capital of white stone, Trochititlan…”
Shulot's expression was gloomy, his feet never touched the ground, and he floated home like a cloud. There was three parts calmness, three parts nostalgia, three parts relief, and one part inexplicable emotion on his face. However, he only had support.
Only then did he realize that the master's robe was completely soaked with sweat, sticky and smelled of blood, as if he had survived and struggled out of the deep abyss...
"Sun, sun! You stand high and can see farther than I imagined! You roll the magma, it is so hot, hotter than I remember! ... And the reason why you are like this
, turned into a real sun...Is it because I once told you what the real sky and the real sun look like?..."
Eckardt tilted his head slightly and listened to the incomprehensible murmur of the owner of the house. He vaguely heard some of it, but couldn't understand it at all. But he could vaguely feel that the owner of the house was in a very complicated mood at the moment, even with a bit of regret.
It was like the mythical god Tecuciztecatl voluntarily jumped into the fire and truly discovered the true heat of the fire... Eckardt was silent for a moment, then while supporting the owner of the house, he pointed to the setting sun in the west and said softly.
"Master, the sun has set... the day passes by very quickly!..."
"Oh? The sun has set! But tomorrow, He will rise again..."
Shulot squinted his eyes, looked at the sun setting in Lake Texcoco, and shook his head gently. Then, he closed his eyes slightly and allowed his guards to carry him and float him home, just like
It was like the floating water of Lake Texcoco. The water flowing in his heart also made his once hazy eyes as bright as an eagle's eye.
"Ancestors witness! Today's long conversation, I don't know how much is real, how much is staged, and who saw how much? I am like this, Avitt is like this, they are really a perfect pair of teachers and students.
ah!…"
"Avit, you are my teacher and have always taught me. But your series of powerful schemes, the combination of kindness and power, analysis of contradictions, political balance... and your magnificent world ambitions always make me familiar with it!... You actually
Still remember, inheriting the divine jade, the divine king of Qin..."
"It turns out! I once told you that so many stories of the Celestial Dynasty have always been kept in your heart, and you regard them as divinely inspired wisdom to absorb the goals and nutrients for growth! ...Avit, you are worthy of being my teacher, and you are also worthy of being my teacher.
He is worthy of being a hero of this era, the most outstanding king in Mexica’s history!…Huh? It seems that I am also your teacher! Haha!…”
The fatigue of the day hit his mind, turning into random thoughts running in Shulot's mind, and then running with him to sleep. He fell into a dark dream, opened his eyes and looked around, but saw the stone throne again.
There is also Avitt, who is sitting on the throne with cold eyes and expressionless face.
"Avit, get up and don't sit down! Things will change if you sit down!..."
He ran forward in surprise and was about to pull Avitt up, but Avitt pushed him hard. Then, when he looked over again, the person sitting on the throne turned out to be himself.
The same cold eyes, the same expressionless face...
"Ah! It's me!..."
"Master! Wake up! Master! Wake up!..."
"Um?…"
"We're at home..."
"...okay!"
Shulot shook his head vigorously, woke up from the dream just now, and then stared blankly at the door of the Prince's Mansion, closing in front of his eyes. He stood in the empty courtyard, frowning, thinking about the dream just now
, felt an inexplicable familiarity. But he really couldn't remember when he had a similar dream. When?
"Master! How about your meeting with the God King today?..."
Eckart, the captain of the guard, looked worried and asked softly.
"Well... The God King gave me a scolding with his staff and appointed me as the royal minister, responsible for the supply of military supplies for the Southern Expedition and rectifying the corruption in the craftsman camp. Then, he asked his youngest son, Quautemoc, and
My eldest daughter, Light Snake, was engaged to settle the ownership of the Seaside Alliance. Later, he promoted the Royal Capital Medical Institute to a medical school, established a medical priest, and gave it to me to manage..."
Shulot put away his thoughts, summed up Avitt's plan in a calm and organized manner. At this moment, he was calm and composed, completely different from before.
"According to the God King's plan, he will be the God King for another twenty years. And I will assist him for twenty years just like the elder assisted the late king Montezuma, until he goes to the Kingdom of God..."
Eckart, the captain of the guard, lowered his head to listen. After a moment of pondering, his face showed surprise and even some fear.
"Master, the God King has actually given you such great power! But to rectify corruption, you will offend the nobles of the royal capital, and to be in charge of the medical priests will offend the high priests. And it is even more difficult to be responsible for the supply of military supplies for the Southern Expedition.
It’s getting harder!”
"With so many directly affiliated and city-state legions, how can one get the same result? How can such heavy and lengthy logistics be delivered in time? You will become the target of the noble officers' anger and blame at any time... The head of the family, although these three powers
It’s astonishingly big, but it’s like a hornet’s nest that fell from the sacred tree. It will offend the entire alliance and even sting you all over the head!…”
"Well... Eckart, I know everything you said."
Hearing this, Shulot smiled, his expression very calm and calm.
"Rectifying corruption, researching medical care, and supplying armaments...are all related to the future of us Mexicans! Especially medical research cannot be overemphasized...These tasks, Avitt entrusted to me, are considered a handover.
Treat people! I will definitely do everything well, no matter how many people I offend!…”
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "The God King put me in this position. The more people I offend, the more assured he will be and the safer I will be. In fact, the alliance is not only Ah
Avitt's alliance is also the alliance between Alyssa, Xiuhua and me. The power and majesty of the Mexica royal family are our common foundation... Therefore, Avitt's southern expedition is crucial! Whether in public or private,
I will do my best to support him and will never hold him back! This is also the basis of mutual trust between me and him. We have a common political goal..."
"Ah...Master, I understand! I will use my life to protect your safety!..."
The captain of the guard, Eckart, gritted his teeth, lowered his head, and saluted respectfully. After hearing the captain of the guard's words, Shulot nodded with satisfaction. He thought for a while, and then said in a deep voice.
"I sang joyfully in the temple for days, Avit replaced the ancestors, scolded me with the rod, and then I shed tears and repented... In this matter, there are songs of joy, ancestors, the sun, beatings with the rod, conspiracy, repentance, and all kinds of topics that can be used.
This is a story that is very suitable for singing... It needs to be spread in the capital as soon as possible. It is best to make it into a ballad so that all the nobles can hear it!..."
"Ah! Master! Are you going to... be like a turtle... oh no, like a crocodile, sinking into the mire and getting dirty?..."
"That's right! Only by sinking into the mire and getting dirty can you live a stable life and swim freely!..."
Shulot smiled, and as his thoughts flashed, he remembered a person.
"Hmm... It's quite suitable to let the wise man Carney take charge of this kind of thing! Let him make up a few catchy tunes, a few mysterious rumors, a few interesting jokes... just from the business channel that Ocatel has been running
Just let it out and let the songs spread by themselves!…”
"As for such songs that elevate the God King and lower my reputation, the intelligence officers and secret guards in the royal capital will definitely turn a blind eye or close an eye!..."
"Yes! Your Majesty, follow your will!..."
The sun was setting in the west and the moon was rising in the east. Hulot and Eckardt were standing in the empty courtyard, making political decisions in low voices, with thousands of thoughts in their minds. And just as the two of them were sinking in their thoughts,
When he was immersed in the quagmire of politics, an excited and gentle cry instantly cleared Shulot's thoughts.
"Xulot, you...you are back!"
Alyssa, dressed in white and barefoot, ran in front of Xilot. Then she threw herself on her husband, curled up and hung up like a sloth. But soon, she stopped repairing
Lott took a painful breath and realized something was wrong. She immediately put down her long legs, took off her husband's robe, and saw the bleeding stick marks on the back...
"Ah! Shulot...you!...Father, he...how could he?!..."
Alyssa stretched out her slender fingers and gently touched the wound, with tears in her distressed eyes. She wanted to say something else, but Xuellot smiled and stretched out his arms, hugging his wife in his arms. The two of them tightly
Hugging each other, staring deeply into each other's eyes, one can feel each other's heart almost without using any words.
"Alyssa... I have really wronged you in the past two months!... Fortunately, everything is over!..."
"Xulot, the Lord God witnesses! Have you and your father really passed away?..."
"Well, the sun looked towards the clouds in the south... The relationship between me and him has really passed!..."
Shulot nodded seriously and hugged his gentle wife tightly, as if he was hugging the world. Then, his eyes gradually widened and looked towards the high sky. He looked at the rising moon, but it was not the south.
But the true east.
"At the beginning of July, the distant East China Sea and the Caribbean Islands... In one month, the dark clouds from the east will come from the sea... And the real drastic changes in the world are coming soon!..."
The long wind blew by, carrying the moist breath from the East China Sea. However, the king staring at the sky seemed to have predicted everything, but he never expected...
At this moment, before the dark clouds from Europe in the East China Sea arrive, an ancient ocean-covering ship is coming through the wind and waves with difficulty, carrying precious gifts from Asia in the West Sea!
