Yinzhu said, "Since I promised him, I'm not afraid of him spreading the news. I could vaguely guess what he was thinking. By letting Siqin become the heir of Landias, not only will he be able to rope us in and gain the goodwill of Zither City, he will also gain the support of Master O 'Brien. Then, he will create a rift between us and the Milanese Empire. This way, Landias will have a better chance of surviving. My father-in-law probably knew that we would be able to guess his intentions, but his smartest move was to force us to cooperate with him even though we could guess it. After all, the Holy War is more important than anything else. I will more or less compromise with him. As for his previous proposal to let you inherit the throne, it was just a bluff. He's just sitting on the ground and doing nothing. "
Sula stared at Ye Yinzhu, "Since you already knew, why did you agree?"
Ye Yinzhu said, "Although father-in-law is very thoughtful, he isn't me and can't see things from my point of view. Yes, we were used by him this time, but there are two things for sure. The first is that his guilt and affection towards you are not fake. For you, I will take a step back. The second is that he didn't just use Siqin. He gambled and placed all of his bets on Siqin. As for our son, he will only take care of and teach him meticulously. This isn't a bad thing for Siqin. From my point of view, if Siqin inherits the throne of Landias Empire, Landias will no longer be threatened by the Milanese Empire. But don't forget, Siqin inherited my bloodline. My ancestor is the East Dragon Empire. Wouldn't this allow our East Dragon Empire to revive in Longqinus and regain control? Uncle Silvio is the son of Grandpa Qin Shang. He also inherited the bloodline of our East Dragon Empire. With both empires in our hands, this is another form of unification. As for father-in-law wanting to cause conflict between Zither City and the Milanese Empire. I'm afraid he will be disappointed. Our next stop is Milan. An agreement was reached. No matter what, I have to report to Uncle Silvio. "
Sula heaved a sigh of relief. "Since you've thought it through, I'm relieved. He was really old. Yinxiu. After the Holy War is over, are you willing to accompany me back to see him? Bring Siqin and Lianqin to him too. "
Although Massimo's words today did not completely resolve the estrangement between him and Sula, it did soften Sula's heart. The current Sula was different from before. With Yinxiu's love, the child was happy. She was no longer so autistic.
"Of course. Sula. Did you know? I'm glad to see you like this. Let's go back to the inn and rest. We'll leave for Milan tomorrow morning. "
The radiance of the sun shone upon the earth. It brought a layer of faint golden light to the ancient and huge city of Milan.
Early in the morning, the atmosphere in the palace of the Milanese Empire was a little tense. The emperor of Milan, Silvio, found Marshal Seedorf, who had returned to the capital, in his bedroom for a discussion.
"Report. Your Majesty. Marshal Seedorf is here. "
"Invite him in."
Seedorf walked into Silvio's bedroom with his head held high. Compared with the last time Ye Yinzhu saw him, the Milan Spear had more silver hair. However, his back was still as straight as a pencil. His spirit was hale and hearty. His eyes radiated with power and prestige without being angry.
Since the two famous Milan marshals went to Martigny. Silvio relied on him more. Of course, until now, Silvio did not know the secret that Seedorf came from the Eastern Dragon Eight Schools.
For this, although Qin Shang recognized him as his son, he did not tell him. How to say. Silvio was also the emperor of the Milanese Empire.
"Your Majesty."
Siddarth bowed respectfully. Silvio had issued an amnesty in the early years. Marshal Seedorf did not need to kneel to him on any occasion. He could bring weapons to see him.
"Marshal, you are welcome. Please sit down."
Silvio was dressed very simply today. A bright yellow robe covered his body. From the appearance. He was not as majestic and powerful as Massimo, but he was more approachable.
At this time. In the bedroom, in addition to Silvio and Marshal Seedorf, there was another person. A child.
This child was sitting on Silvio's lap, wearing the same clothes as Silvio. Just a smaller version.
His long black hair was quietly scattered on his shoulders. He looked only about four years old. The most eye-catching. It was his big eyes. It was black and bright, like a resplendent obsidian.
His big black eyes were not shining with an innocent light. Instead, there was a surprising clarity and oppositely depth.
"Hello, Grandpa Seedorf."
The little boy jumped down from Silvio's lap and greeted Seedorf with standard court etiquette.
"I dare not. Your Highness. "
Siddarth hurriedly stepped aside. He did not accept the boy's greeting.
The boy did not insist. He did not play around like a child of his age. Instead, he quietly walked to the side. He climbed onto a chair and sat down.
Silvio's eyes swept over the boy. His eyes were not shining with kindness, but with pride. Yes, it was a proud gaze.
As if this boy was the biggest highlight of his life.
"Your Majesty, did something happen in the morning?"
Seedorf asked.
Seedorf's status in the Empire was extremely high. His seniority was even higher than Silvio's. Even Silvio The Great had to be courteous when he saw him.
This time, the Milanese Empire was able to block the attack of the Landias coalition army. Seedorf, who was guarding the south, could be said to have made great contributions.
With his powerful strength and commanding ability, he was able to ensure that Milan's territory was not lost.
Although he was a Marshal, he had been conferred the title of Prince by Silvio. He could be said to be the head of the Empire's ministers.
"Something did happen. I just received a magic message. Last night, the Landias Empire announced overnight that Princess Luan Feng's son, Siqin. Moratti is the Crown Prince. "
A sharp light flashed in Seedorf's eyes, "Siqin. Moratti? Is Massimo finally determined to be the Crown Prince? Who is Princess Luan Feng? Massimo has many sons. Why would he confer the title of Crown Prince to a daughter's son? "
Seedorf had been in the army for many years. He did not know much about the matters in the palace. Although Sula was known as the number one beauty in the Landias Empire, but very few people in the Milanese Empire knew of her.
Seedorf smiled bitterly: "Because of this Siqin. Moratti's other name is Ye Siqin. His father is our Qin Di Ye Yinzhu. "
Siddarth was taken aback. "Your Majesty, are you right? Massimo, Massimo actually made Ye Yinxiu's son the Crown Prince of the Landias Empire. This is too unimaginable. "
Silvio smiled bitterly: "When I just got the news, my first reaction was the same as yours. It was also unimaginable. But after Rui Qin analyzed it for me, I finally understood Massimo's intention. Sure enough, there is a way out of a dead end! Rui Qin, explain it to your Grandpa Seedorf. "
Marshal Siddarth was not surprised that Silvio gave the authority to explain to the child who looked like he was only about four years old.
"Crown Prince Rui Qin, please enlighten me."
Crown Prince Rui Qin smiled indifferently: "Emperor Massimo's purpose is very direct and simple. He wants to make use of his blood relationship with Qin Di Ye Yinzhu's wife to give the Landias Empire a chance to rise again. On the surface, it seems that Emperor Massimo made an outsider the Crown Prince, but that is not the case. Princess Luan Feng is his daughter. Although Ye Siqin has the blood of Qin Di Ye Yinzhu, she also has the inheritance of the Moratti Family. So in terms of blood relationship, she is not an outsider. From this point, with Emperor Massimo's power, it is possible for him to gain the support of the Landias Royal Family. Of course, this is the result of our country pressuring the Landias Royal Family. Only the Landias Royal Family would compromise with their Emperor. " "Qin Di Ye Yinzhu has been missing for three years and returned to Faran a few months ago. Although he has been missing for three years, his reputation in the continent has only increased. During the period when he was missing, the Beast Emperor Violet Emperor personally went to Faran to ask for him, and even went to war with Faran. This shows how close his relationship with Qin Di Ye Yinzhu is. Although the situation calmed down, he also publicly announced that he is the godfather of Ye Yinzhu's three children. According to the information we received, Ye Siqin is the most capable commander among the three children of Ye Yinzhu. Although she is only three years old, she has already begun to show her talent. Her godfather is the Leader of the Radiant Tower, O 'Brien. It can be said that she is doted on by three thousand people. If this sort of person were to become the successor of the Landias Empire … Then, even if Faran and the Orc Tribe don't support him, they definitely wouldn't do anything to harm him. As for Qin City, with Ye Yinzhu's direct support, there is no way for them to become enemies with Landias. Emperor Massimo is killing many birds with one stone. Although this choice is out of helplessness, it is the best situation for Landias. "
Seedorf couldn't help but say, "But if this is the case, how will we deal a blow to Landias in the future? In terms of national power, we aren't that far off from Landias. Our greatest advantage is the support of Qin City and the trade with the Orc Tribe. "
Crown Prince Qin smiled slightly. He didn't look like a child at all. Instead, he looked like a little adult. "Actually, it's not that there isn't a way to solve this problem. Indeed, according to Emperor Massimo's plan, if he allows Ye Siqin to become the successor of the Landias Empire, he will stop us from using troops against Landias. However, if we want to stop his plan, I have a method that has a 50% chance of success. "
This time, even Silvio The Great couldn't help but reveal a look of surprise. "What other methods do you have? I really can't think of a way to suppress Landias. Unless Massimo's announcement is false, and Ye Yinzhu didn't agree to his request. "
Crown Prince Ruiqin shook her head and said, "There is no way the Landias Empire would announce false news for such an important matter. Otherwise, they would be laughed at by the other countries in the continent, and they would distance themselves from Faran and Qin City. If I'm not wrong, he should be using the Holy War to threaten Qin Di and Ye Yinzhu with whether or not Landias would support the Holy War. There might even be some additional conditions. It's just that Landias won't announce it. "
If Ye Yinzhu was here, she would definitely be shocked. This child who looked like he was only four years old was not only able to speak so confidently, it was as if he had seen it with his own eyes.
Silvio frowned and said, "Could it be that you want us to negotiate with Faran like this, and have Yin Xiu not let her son inherit the throne of Landias Empire?"
Crown Prince Ruiqin's eyes flashed with a bright light. "No, of course not. That will only backfire and cause Qin City and Faran to hate us. It will only push them to Landias's side. This is the stupidest method. "
Hearing the word stupidest, Silvio couldn't help but blush. He smiled bitterly and said, "My precious crown prince. Don't keep me in suspense. What method do you have? "
Crown Prince Ruiqin said confidently, "I thought about it carefully just now. Now it is almost impossible to disintegrate the cooperation between Qin Di and Landias from the outside. After all, they are all big shots, and they must do what they say. Therefore, we can only start from within Landias. Let them have their own problems. And reject the possibility of Ye Siqin being the crown prince. Only in this way. This is the most beneficial for us. It was true that Massimo had an iron fist. But. Whether it is Landias or our Milan, the power of the royal family is great. Father. Do you remember how great the obstacles were when I was appointed as the crown prince? It was the same for me and your biological son. Masmo appointed a daughter's child as the crown prince. The situation will only get worse. "
Hearing the words "biological son", Silvio's expression showed a moment of absent-mindedness. He thought to himself, if you are really my biological son. Even if I die immediately, I am willing.
No matter how smart Crown Prince Ruiqin was, it was impossible for her to know what Silvio was thinking. He continued, "Therefore, after he announced this, the pressure he is under will be tremendous. In this case. There is only one way for Masmo to suppress the voice of opposition. That is the threat of Milan. Using the threat of our Milanese Empire to suppress the voice of opposition from the royal family and ministers. Father. I remember you told me. Emperor Masmo seems to have a lot of princes. "
If Silvio still didn't understand at this time. Then, he wouldn't be worthy of being a wise emperor. His eyes glowed brightly. "If we secretly support a few princes of Massimo with our financial resources and then express our closeness to Lan Dias on the surface, Then … "
A smile appeared on the faces of Silvio The Great and Crown Prince Ruiqin at the same time. Only Marshal Seedorf, who was not good at conspiracies, still had a blank look on his face. At this time, he was thinking about the crown prince in front of him who was less than four years old. He always wondered, is this child really human? He is only four years old. At such a young age. His wisdom is like a demon's. When Silvio decided to depose Fisichella. When he was made Crown Prince. He was strongly opposed by the royal family.
However, Emperor Silvio only called for an internal meeting of the royal family. All the voices of opposition changed.
It was said that at that royal meeting. Crown Prince Ruiqin, who was only three years old, argued with the kings. He was recognized by everyone in the royal family. Even though he was not four years old yet. But within the royal family, it was already recognized that Crown Prince Ruiqin would become the most outstanding emperor in the history of the Milanese Empire. There was even a hope of becoming an emperor. They were all looking forward to Crown Prince Ruiqin leading the Milanese Empire to unprecedented heights in the next few decades.
"Report-"
The voice of the palace guard suddenly came from outside.
Silvio frowned and said, "Didn't I say. No one is to disturb without my orders? "
"Your Majesty, forgive me, it is the chief court archmage, Lord Fogg, who requests an audience. You have ordered that the Duke has the right to see him at any time.
When Silvio heard that it was Master Ferguson, a smile appeared on his face, "So it is Master Ferguson, please come in."
His gaze turned to Marshal Seedorf, "It seems that our master should also have received some news."
After a while, Dean Ferguson, dressed in a silver magic robe, had arrived at the bedchamber. Like Seedorf, he did not need to kneel to Silvio.
He bowed slightly, "Greetings, Your Majesty."
"Master need not be so polite. Why is Master here so early in the morning? "
Silvio made a gesture for him to sit.
With a smile on his face, Ferguson nodded at Marshal Seedorf beside him, and said, "Your Majesty, I've brought you three guests. They are definitely unexpected guests. "
A pink light suddenly lit up, and between the flashes of light, three figures suddenly appeared beside Ferguson.
Seedorf's eyes flickered, but he did not take any action. He and Ferguson had been friends for many years, and he was very familiar with this archmage. It was impossible for him to harm Silvio The Great. On the other hand, when Siddarth saw the three people who suddenly appeared, he couldn't help but exclaim despite his composure.
A figure, like a swallow throwing itself into Seedorf's arms, threw itself into his arms. "Grandpa."
Seedorf, with his firm character, could not help but burst into tears when he heard this call and saw this familiar figure. "Good, good, don't cry. Hai Yang, why are you here? "
The three people who appeared were Ye Yinzhu and her husband. How could Hai Yang not be excited to suddenly see her grandfather? She had not seen Marshal Seedorf for a long time.
It turned out that Ye Yinzhu and the other two had left Landias early in the morning and teleported to the Milanese Empire. After disappearing for three years, Ye Yinzhu first thought of her teacher Ferguson when she returned to Milan, so she decided to visit the academy first. After seeing Ferguson, the group of four came to the city of Milan. Because Hai Yang and Sula were with them, in order to avoid trouble, Ye Yinzhu simply gave the Storage Gem of Life to Ferguson to carry. This was the simplest way to enter the palace.
"Hello, Uncle Silvio, Grandpa Seedorf, long time no see."
Ye Yinzhu smiled and bowed to the two.
Seedorf nodded to him. He couldn't care less about Ye Yinzhu now. He hadn't seen his granddaughter for a long time. Even though she wasn't his biological daughter, the feeling of kinship still made the marshal very emotional.
Silvio was also surprised by Ye Yinzhu's sudden appearance, "We were just talking about you. I didn't expect you to come."
Ye Yinzhu smiled bitterly, "Can I not come? You must have received the news from Landias. "
Silvio nodded and smiled, "Actually, you don't have to explain. Do you think I don't trust you? You must have your reasons for making such a decision. "
Silvio The Great was definitely a smart man. He had never forgotten the importance of building a good relationship with Zither City for Milan.
Ye Yinzhu said, "No matter what, I should give you an explanation. And this is? "
His eyes fell on the child who was sitting on the side and looking at the three of them curiously. It seemed that this child was slightly older than his three little fellows, but not by much. It was the first time he saw those big eyes of his, and it actually gave Ye Yinzhu a bit of a shock.
Ye Yinzhu wouldn't be surprised if such a look appeared on an adult, but he was just a child. How could a child's eyes contain so many things?
Silvio's expression changed slightly, but soon returned to normal. He smiled and said, "Come, let me introduce you. This is my youngest son, Rui Qin. Berlusconi. Fisichella should have already told you that he is now the Crown Prince of Milan. "
Ye Yinzhu had already guessed the identity of this child, but it still felt a little different when it came from Silvio's mouth. He could clearly sense the pride in Silvio's voice when he talked about this child.
"Hello, Crown Prince Rui Qin."
Ye Yinxiu nodded to Rui Qin. Although he was just a child, he was also the Crown Prince of Longqinus Empire.
Silvio smiled and said, "Do you know why I gave him this name? Because I want him to be as smart as you. As wise as Qin Di. "
Ye Yinzhu smiled and said, "You flatter me, Uncle."
Little Rui Qin jumped down from the chair with some difficulty and looked at Ye Yinzhu and said, "Are you the Lord Qin Di that father always talks about?"
Yinzhu squatted down so that he was at the same level as Rui Qin and said gently, "I embroidered the name Qin Di just because of the praise from my friends. You are Uncle Silvio's child, if you want, you can call me Big Brother Yinzhu. "
Little Rui Qin was not shy at all and immediately nodded, "Alright, Rui Qin …"
Just as he said that, he was interrupted by an anxious voice. "No, Rui Qin."
Ye Yinzhu and Rui Qin were stunned at the same time and looked towards the direction of the voice, only to see a beautiful lady in palace attire walking out from the back, her eyes revealed some anxiety, some worry, some joy and many other complicated emotions. It was Xiang Luan.
Seeing Xiang Luan, the light of wisdom in Rui Qin's eyes that was different from other children disappeared, and he now looked more like a child.
"Big sister."
Rui Qin called out excitedly as he ran towards Xiang Luan.
Xiang Luan picked him up, the gentleness on his face was something that Ye Yinzhu and the rest had never seen before.
Holding Rui Qin in his arms, Xiang Luan slowly walked to Ye Yinzhu, "Long time no see, Yinzhu."
Seeing Xiang Luan again, Ye Yinzhu didn't know why he always had a special feeling in his heart, as if something was choking in his chest, but he couldn't find the vein of this feeling.
"Xiang Luan."
Hai Yang called out in surprise. Leaving her grandfather's arms, she walked a few steps to Xiang Luan. When this pair of good sisters saw each other again, it was inevitable that they would sigh endlessly, with moving tears in their eyes as they talked to each other.
Xiang Luan was still so beautiful. Compared with her previous gorgeous look, she looked a lot thinner, but she also had a bit more mature charm that she didn't have before. Her long pink hair was scattered on her back. He seemed to have matured.
This scene of family reunion filled everyone's heart with a warm feeling. Ye Yinxiu smiled and said, "Xiang Luan, why don't you let Rui Qin call me Big Brother? He is your younger brother. Shouldn't he call me Big Brother? "
Xiang Luan's eyes turned from Hai Yang to Ye Yinzhu, and there was a flash of panic in her eyes. She hurriedly shook her head and said, "No, it's not like that. Yinxiu, don't get me wrong. He can't call you Big Brother. "
"Why?"
Ye Yinzhu looked at her in surprise. When Xiang Luan said the last sentence, she was resolute and decisive. There was no room for negotiation, and this kind of way of speaking was somewhat not like her.
"Because …"
The panic in Xiang Luan's eyes became more obvious. She took a deep breath, as if she was calming her emotions. Before she could explain, Rui Qin, who was in her arms, spoke.
"I understand. Sister is afraid that after I call you Big Brother. You won't accept me as your apprentice. The seniority can't be confused! "
"Accept you as my apprentice? What's the matter? "
Ye Yinzhu looked at Rui Qin. At this time, the child's clear eyes and beautiful little face looked very similar to Xiang Luan. But their personalities were very different.
Xiang Luan secretly breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Rui Qin has liked music since she was a child. She has been pestering me to learn. But I play the piano. It's not suitable for boys. So, I recommended you to him. So … "
Ye Yinzhu smiled slightly. She said, "Do you like the zither?"
Rui Qin nodded very seriously and said, "I like it. Are you willing to be my teacher? "
Ye Yinzhu said seriously, "It's not difficult to learn a musical instrument. But it's difficult to get into it and get the truth. Can you tell me? Why do you want to learn the zither? "
Rui Qin was stunned. She thought about it. She said, "This may be the only thing I don't know why. After my sister mentioned the zither to me. I have heard many people play it since then. I like the zither. I also want to find the reason why I like it, but I can't. It's as if I was born with the zither. "
Ye Yinzhu's eyes showed a trace of surprise, "Then how much are you willing to pay for the zither?"
Rui Qin said without hesitation, "Half of my strength."
"Only half?"
Ye Yinzhu's surprise increased a little.
Rui Qin nodded and said confidently, "I believe that if I use half of my strength to learn the zither, I will be able to do very well. You are my goal. "
In this world, Prince Rui Qin was definitely the first and only one who dared to say that he could catch up with Ye Yinzhu in the zither with half of his strength. But his confident look made people feel that he was not joking.
Ye Yinzhu smiled and said, "Well, after I talk to Uncle Silvio, I will give you a test. If you can pass my test, I will accept you as my disciple."
Although Ye Yinzhu's three children had their own strengths, they didn't like music very much and didn't inherit his talent in the zither. And Prince Rui Qin in front of him was the son of Silvio. Although Ye Yinzhu didn't have much time, he still accepted him as a disciple. He made this decision for two purposes. One was to pass on the zither better, and the other was to give the Milanese Empire a reassurance pill. If his disciple was the prince of the Milanese Empire, would the good cooperation between Qin City and Milan change?
Rui Qin nodded seriously and said, "Okay. I think I will definitely pass your test. "
Ye Yinzhu raised his hand and gently touched his head, "I hope so too."
Xiang Luan looked at Ye Yinzhu and Rui Qin talking. Her eyes became a little dazed, so much so that she didn't respond when Hai Yang called her a few times.
"Xiang Luan, come back to your senses. What are you thinking about? "
The sea shook the Xiang Luan, and she woke up with a start.
"Ah? Oh, nothing, I just suddenly thought of something. Come, Hai Yang, Sula, let's go over there and talk. I haven't seen you for so long, you must have a lot of things to tell me. "When men wanted to talk, women should naturally stay away. Xiang Luan's arrogance as a princess had now completely turned into reason.
Watching the three women walk to the side with Rui Qin to chat, Ye Yinzhu's eyes turned back to Silvio The Great. She bowed to him again.
Silvio, Seedorf, Ferguson, and Ye Yinzhu sat down.
Silvio said, "Yinzhu, you've been missing for three years. Uncle was worried to death. You don't know how happy I was when I received news of you a few months ago. Now that you're back, Zither City is no longer without a leader. "
Ye Yinzhu said, "I'm sorry to have made you worry. Uncle Silvio, since you already know why I'm here, I'll be straightforward. Yesterday, I did promise Emperor Masmo to let my eldest son become the future emperor of the Landias Empire. However, there were a few conditions. "
Immediately, Ye Yinzhu repeated the conversation she had with Masmo the day before without hiding anything.
Hearing Ye Yinzhu's words, Silvio sighed and said, "Masmo is a smart person. If he wasn't forced into a life and death situation, he wouldn't have made such a choice. Although we're enemies, I have to admit that I'm inferior to him as an emperor. "
Silvio The Great didn't seem disappointed at all. Instead, he looked at Ye Yinzhu with a smile and said, "However, I'm luckier than him because I have your help. Masmo, that old fella, is here to steal my luck."
Hearing him say that, the four people present couldn't help but reveal a trace of a smile on their faces. The worry in Ye Yinzhu's heart gradually disappeared. He could naturally see that Silvio did not hold a grudge against him because of this matter. This was also the goal he wanted to achieve on this trip. For some reason, he felt that Silvio was much more open-minded than before. Could it be because the Milanese Empire had taken the top position on the continent?
"Uncle, you know that Masmo is Sula's father, and Landias was Sula's home. Furthermore, the situation in Longqinus isn't the most important to me right now, but the Holy War against the Abyss. Before the Holy War, I will put everything else aside. In order to work together to defeat our common enemy in Longqinus, I can only compromise with Emperor Masmo for the time being. "
Silvio smiled and said, "I understand your difficulties. Actually, you should be able to tell that I don't have any ambitions. The future of the Milanese Empire is no longer something I can decide. The future of Milan is in Rui Qin's hands. I believe that under his leadership, no matter what happens to the continent in the future, the Milanese Empire will stand in the best position. Even if the one leading Landias is your son, I am confident. "
Ye Yinzhu was shocked. Although he knew that Silvio valued Crown Prince Rui Qin, he didn't expect it to be to this extent.
Silvio said, "Yinzhu, do you know what Rui Qin said before you came? I invited Marshal Seedorf here to discuss the announcement that Landias just made that your eldest son, Ye Siqin, will be the crown prince of Landias Empire. Rui Qin gave me some advice. We are on the same side, and I don't need to hide anything from you. He said … … "
Ten minutes later, Ye Yinzhu's entire body stiffened. He couldn't help but look at the boy in Xiang Luan's arms. The shock in his heart couldn't be described with words.
