The reason why Maureen was like this was because she felt a sense of crisis. She clearly saw Leng Yi kissing Xia Na on the ship that day, which made her very uncomfortable. She felt that if she didn't work harder,
The little boy who had been following him was about to run away with someone else.
"Okay, dear, I don't object to this, but let's finish what we are doing now, shall we? After all, everyone is hungry."
Leng Yi said earnestly, it's not that he didn't know why Maureen did what she did deliberately, and it's not that he didn't have any evil thoughts at all, it's just that in the current Cardenas continent, there are no such popular science textbooks, so he still thinks that
The age when you can get pregnant by kissing.
For this reason, he also imagined the scene where Shana came to him with a bulging belly.
The innocent little Leng Yi didn't know yet, but at this moment, he was hurting a young heart that was ready to move.
Maureen pouted and cursed an idiot in her mind, then looked at the indifferent Leng Yi and returned to her seat dejectedly. She imagined that the cabbage was Leng Yi, so she fiercely
Cut it up.
Leng Yi thought Maureen listened to her words, so she quickly changed the subject and said, "By the way, whose head was hung on the city wall that day? It looks like you." Maureen recalled what happened that day.
After being captured by Eugene, he was locked in Eugene's room, and then a naked Eugene broke in. Just when he was about to do such a lewd thing to himself, he had already untied the rope and used it.
Soul magic, changing the appearance of yourself and Eugene.
Then he walked out of Wentz's house in a big way, and before leaving, he ordered the mercenaries to cut off Eugene's head. After being tortured by Maureen all night, poor Eugene was cut off by his own people before he could speak.
Beheaded. And Weber also hung his son's head on the city wall.
"This is what happened."
Maureen narrated that Leng Yi really felt sad for the Wentz family. The whole family was being toyed with by a girl...
"..."
After Leng Yi and Maureen served the food, the banquet began. The table full of delicious food had already made Nelson's mouth water.
The strange thing is that even Marin was invited. In fact, no one wanted this hostage to come over. However, Prince Marin showed his shameless and invincible good character as usual. He just said something so loud that Lei Zhe couldn't stand it.
I had to let him come over.
Ordinary hostages are not treated well in the hands of gangsters, but Marin is very familiar with them, constantly clinking glasses and pouring wine with others. However, when pouring wine with Locke, he is unexpectedly quiet. Look,
Come on, he is really afraid of Locke's giant sword.
Silk kept begging Nelson for yesterday's 100 gold coins, but Nelson ignored him and just kept drinking the wine from the glass.
Lei Zhe and Marin were drinking together, and after a while, the prince staggered around and fell asleep holding a wine bottle.
Kelly still covered her face with black gauze. Although she didn't say a word, she kept picking up food for Mrs. Anna. During this period, Locke also clinked glasses with Leng Yi. However, Locke had a good capacity for drinking. On the contrary, Leng Yi was drinking a few glasses.
Finally, I couldn't stand it anymore and fell asleep on the table.
The banquet ended in a lively atmosphere. Maureen finally dragged Leng Yi back to the room. As for Marin, no one cared about him.
On a quiet and comfortable night, Lei Zhe was standing on the shipboard, holding a wine bottle in his hand and looking into the distance, where was the direction of the empire and his hometown.
He didn't know how long it had been since he went back. Or maybe he didn't want to go back at all. There was nothing left but sadness.
His wife, Maureen's mother, is buried there.
When he thought of this, there seemed to be a trace of mist in the corner of Lei Zhe's eyes, but he covered it up very well. Things like wine often make it easier for people to recall the past.
"Is it Locke?"
Lei Zhe said without looking back, these years of life hanging by a thread have made Lei Zhe able to tell many things from the sound of footsteps.
Locke behind him nodded and said, "Yes, Captain."
Locke was still carrying his giant sword. In Leng Yi's memory, Locke seemed to have never left the giant sword. Whether he was eating or sleeping, Locke always carried it with him.
Locke stood on the ship board, holding the railing with both hands, breathing in the fresh air. He suddenly sighed and said: "Captain, there is something I really don't understand very well."
Lei Zhe looked at Locke sideways and asked, "Are you referring to why you kidnapped the imperial prince?"
Locke replied: "Yes, I don't understand. Doing this will only make the war burn faster, and it will not be of any benefit to the revolutionary army, because the current revolutionary army does not have the strength to fight against the emperor. Moreover, the superiors issued the original
The order did not say that the imperial prince was to be taken away."
Lei Zhe nodded, Locke is indeed a genius, both in terms of force and intelligence. He is a first-class genius.
Everyone in the world thinks that the revolutionary army took away the prince of the empire in order to have the capital to negotiate with the empire, but few people know that the reason why the empire is an empire is because it has the means of iron, blood and even weapons, so that it can become a military among the three major powers.
The strongest ability.
For those high-ranking officials in the empire, it is very simple to give up a prince. Moreover, they can use this reason to attack the headquarters of the revolutionary army without any worries, without fear of public opinion in other countries, and other countries have no reason to interfere. After all, they
He is well-known as a teacher.
To sum up, the revolutionary army's move to capture the imperial prince was a bad move, a very bad move.
For this reason, the leaders of the revolutionary army have expressed anger at "Zero Wing"'s actions more than once, but now, they have to accept this dumb loss. After all, the whole world now knows that it was the revolutionary army that took away the imperial prince. If they are honest at this time,
If you make friends with others, it will have a great impact on the morale of the army.
"You are right. It's not that the superiors asked me to take away the prince, but that the prince himself came to me and asked me to take him away."
Lei Zhe's words made Locke, who had always been calm, show an incredible expression for the first time. It was Marin himself who asked the group leader to take him away. The 15-year-old boy asked for it himself? This is not reliable no matter how you think about it.
"Why?"
"Because he said he wanted to see the world outside the empire."
Locke stared at Lei Zhe doubtfully, waiting for his next words. Lei Zhe continued: "Don't underestimate that child. Although he is only 15 years old and usually does nothing, he relies on his own methods.
To be the eldest prince of the empire and the future heir to the empire."
Locke was even more confused now. Lei Zhe smiled bitterly and said: "The emperor of the empire at that time had a total of 5 children. And Marin was the third. In other words, if he wanted to become the eldest prince, then he could only...
His two brothers are seriously ill or dead."
Locke was stunned, that little brat who looked like a deadbeat, could it be...
"That's right, Marin killed his two brothers with his own hands. And he did it without anyone noticing, and when he became the eldest prince, he was only 10 years old!"
Lei Zhe's answer made Locke tremble all over, and he couldn't calm down for a long time...
Locke was messy in the wind. He still didn't believe what Lei Zhe said just now. That Marin who was always on the ship and never did anything serious could be such a ruthless person. If he was really like Lei Zhe
If you say that, then Marin must have hidden it too deeply.
Lei Zhe touched the stubble on his chin and said with a wry smile: "I had expected that you would have such an expression."…
Locke laughed awkwardly a few times, but still didn't believe it and confirmed like Lei Zhe: "Dear leader, what you just said was not a joke, right? That scoundrel, oh, no, Marin, he can do this kind of thing."
The person who did it?"
Locke's suspicion is not unreasonable. If we rule out the possibility of Marin pretending to be crazy, he is only 15 years old, and according to what Lei Zhe said, he can win in this kind of intrigue politics at the age of 10. This is unavoidable.
It’s incredible.
Lei Zhe shook his head and continued: "Actually, I don't know if it's true or not. That little bastard told me."
Locke then exhaled and said helplessly: "Maybe he was bragging."
"No!"
Lei Zhe simply denied it. He looked at Locke, pointed at his eyes, and said solemnly: "Lies can deceive people, but eyes cannot deceive people. I am very sure that there was no sign of guilt in his eyes at that time."
Lei Zhe said it very seriously. This tone was not his usual frivolous tone. Locke said seriously, "But if he is the kind of person who is very scheming, then it is even more impossible for him to tell you this. This will not do him any good."
No?"
Lei Zhe said with a smile: "When Ma Lin insisted on me taking him away, his tone was very sincere and even a little urgent, so he did not hesitate to tell me his secret to gain my trust. I think it was because of his
Lives were threatened."
Locke couldn't understand even more now. He lowered his head and thought. He really couldn't figure out how someone in the empire could take away the life of a eldest prince?
"That's right, Iron Prime Minister, Andrew, if I guess correctly, he is the only one in the empire who has this ability."
Lei Zhe solved Locke's doubts. Andrew, the current prime minister of the empire, is famous for his ruthlessness. Many reforms of the empire were proposed by this prime minister. He has made great contributions to the military of the empire and has huge power and power in the empire.
With such fame, he can even mobilize the army like a royal family.
The most important thing is that this prime minister with great achievements is still alive. Even when he is powerful enough to compete with the royal family, he can still live as if nothing has happened. This alone shows his authority and wisdom.
political means.
Locke doesn't understand the politics of the empire. The only thing he wants to know is why Lei Zhe brought Marin with him. Lei Zhe hasn't answered this question yet.
Lei Zhe seemed to have seen through Locke's thoughts and explained: "Locke, do you think the Revolutionary Army's approach is correct? Fighting blindly will only create continuous flames of war. Well, even if the Revolutionary Army wins, there is no guarantee that he will not
It will become the next empire, and in this way, only civilians will suffer the harm caused by war."
"I have personally experienced that kind of pain, so I understand that the world is distorting, and the source of distortion is not the empire, but mankind. In these 700 years, one era after another has ended. This is not the fault of any one country.
, is a situation caused by the fighting, hatred, sinister and selfish people who control the country. We humans have been repeating the same mistakes, time and time again."
"We can't just fight, we can't continue to plunder each other. Whether it's the revolutionary army or the emperor, the only way to cut off this sad chain is to cultivate a wise king, an emperor who can change the empire."
Locke was in awe. Although Lei Zhe's idea was too ideal, all he thought about was for the unarmed civilians. For this reason, he did not hesitate to violate the orders from above and even offended the entire empire. Thinking of this, Locke felt even more
Respect this leader.
Lei Zhe's words continued: "That's why I brought Marin with me. I don't want to teach him and I don't have the ability to teach him anything, so let him see it and see it with his own eyes. As he said, see
A look at the world outside the empire reveals the bottomless darkness hidden beneath the brightness and prosperity.”…
"The most important thing is..."
When Lei Zhe said these words, he paused and said with a deep smile: "The look I saw on Marin's face is a look that can penetrate all darkness and perseverance. To be precise,
, that is the look of "still alive", just like the light of "hope""
"I've only seen two people look like this. One is Marin. And you know the other one even if I don't tell you."
Locke nodded, thinking of the way the white-haired boy looked at him for the first time. It was just like what Lei Zhe said. He said proudly: "You mean Leng Yi!"
"Yes, I always feel that these two people will set off a revolutionary storm on the Cardenas continent."
Lei Zhe looked into the distance and said seriously.
Lei Zhe's prediction was confirmed soon after. These two boys, now only 15 years old, will one day repaint the 700-year history of the Cardenas continent!
"..."
On July 21, 761, the three-year battle between the Empire and the Revolutionary Army finally ended on the day a peace treaty was signed on the North Sunderland River. History seemed to be destined to happen. The battle began on the same day as
Ending on the same day, the North Sunderland River was later changed to the River of Peace to commemorate this "Three Years' Battle" and the rise of a country.
The revolutionary army returned the empire's eldest prince, Marin Garrucha, in exchange for the northernmost St. Pé plain of the empire. The empire lost one-third of its territory, and its undefeated myth came to an end.
Among them, only the top officials of the empire knew that they should have won this battle, but it was the hateful bastards of the Republic of Creed who interfered with it, causing the military situation in the rear to get seriously out of control, and they had to call back the troops from the front to prevent the Republic in the rear.
The pincer attack only gave the revolutionary army a chance to breathe.
In response to the empire's accusations, the Creed Republic acted aggrieved, claiming that its troops stationed on the borders of the Kingdom of Felis and the Empire were only for military exercises with the Kingdom of Felis. The so-called peace
The revolutionary army joined forces to attack from a pincer, but it was all based on nothing.
At the same time, Queen Elisa IV also announced that the Kingdom and the Republic were only conducting military exercises to strengthen the army, and had no other purpose.
In July 761, the two major powers on the Cardenas continent and the revolutionary army staged a good show, playing a cruel trick on the empire. By the time the empire reacted, the revolutionary army's spears were already extremely sharp.
, but the empire was retreating steadily because the reinforcements were too late to support.
The morale of the military was weakened, and the two countries behind were eager to see it, so they had to sign a peace treaty.
No matter how history later evaluated it, the empire still lost. From then on, there was one more country on the continent, the Chioneshe country, a country that advocated freedom and had no aristocratic system.
On December 21, 761, Leng Yi was the second person to leave the "Zero Wing" after Marin on the "Zero Wing" sky pirate group responsible for escorting the eldest prince of the empire back to the imperial capital.
Leng Yi is already 18 years old. After three years of growth, he has become taller. His tall and elegant figure cleverly highlights the boy's extraordinary figure. He wears a tight-fitting white windbreaker that echoes his hair, except for the hair under the cloak.
But he was wearing black light armor. The collision of black and white reflected a different sense of beauty.
There is still the broken sword on his back, and his facial features are exquisite but he still has the perseverance of a man. He stands proudly in front of "Zero Wing", followed by a girl dressed hotly. The two of them are saying goodbye to the people on "Zero Wing".
Leng Yi just turned 18 today, the age where he can officially enter the three major talent academies to unlock talents. Thinking of this, Leng Yi was so excited that he couldn't sleep last night. He could finally get his own abilities.
Maureen next to Leng Yi has become more beautiful after three years. Although Leng Yi was taller than her a year ago, Maureen's long legs made her look nothing like
Shorter than Leng Yi, Maureen wore a red soul master robe, which covered her flawless figure, except for a deep neckline on her chest. Although it was already winter, Maureen, who loved beauty, still wore the
Every exposed place is exposed.
Maureen was saying goodbye to Lei Zhe. Lei Zhe, who had always been short-tempered, was hugging his daughter tightly at this time. He was explaining various precautions with tears and snot, and better explained to Leng Yi that he should protect Maureen.
, if Maureen loses weight or suffers any injustice, she will never let Leng Yi go.
Leng Yi nodded silently. He controlled his emotions, said goodbye to everyone, and walked back with Mo Lin in tears. He pretended to be indifferent and was thinking about how to make Mo Lin happy.
.
"Hey, Leng Yi, don't catch a cold!"
Locke's voice came, making Leng Yi's body tremble, and his heart felt warm. He could no longer control the flood of reluctance in his heart. Then he turned around and knelt down in the direction of the "Zero Wing" people.
, said gratefully: "Brother Locke, everyone, I have caused you a lot of trouble for a long time, I am very grateful!!!"
