Chapter 392: Depressed (2)
Chapter 392: Sadness (2)
If there was no Rong Xin. Ike's remarks and analysis just now, Longqin Ike would definitely think that going to the Situ family to take refuge is the most correct way. Compared with the Dayue Kingdom, although the journey is closer, after the orcs captured the Purple Gold Empire, although the Dayue Kingdom is still separated from the Purple Gold Empire, it is almost under the threat of the orcs' military fronts. The Situ family is far away from the Meijia Empire and very far away from the Orc Empire. Even if the orcs captured the entire Purple Gold Empire, it will not be a matter of time before it can be concluded. It is the safest place. But now, Longqin Ike's heart is shaken.
The Situ family cannot truly help the Ike family. The so-called four major families are in harmony with each other, that is just an external saying. In fact, who doesn’t want to swallow others and strengthen themselves? It’s just that the Ike family does not have that strength.
If the Ike family really wants to take refuge in the Mega Empire, it will probably cost a lot, otherwise they would not agree. Moreover, they may be under someone else's roof and may be annexed at any time. Which of the four major families does not have many means.
In comparison, although the Great Yue Kingdom is a little more barren and may be attacked by Taoist orcs, the environment is relatively relaxed. At least, a huge force like the Ike family can still have a chance to make a comeback after entering.
If I was told by Rongxin. Ike, the Ike family must make preparations now. Whether to withdraw to the Mega Empire or the Great Yue Kingdom, it must make a decision!
"Third, the Situ family is ambition. Once the Ike family enters the Mega Empire, everything must be followed. In this way, the Ike family will become the vassal family of the Situ family?"
Rong Xin and Ike's words deeply hurt Long Qin. Ike's heart. The Ike family has the glory of the Ike family. No matter how much they decline, they will never be able to become a vassal of others.
"Why don't you know that Xiao Han also has an intention toward me, the Ike family?" Long Qin Ike asked back.
"Mr. Xiao is in charge of the entire Great Moon Kingdom. After my Ike family joins the Great Moon Kingdom, he is equivalent to the current Purple Gold Empire royal family. Why did he annex us?" Rong Xin Ike said.
"You mean, let's help Xiao Han build an empire?" Long Qin Aike asked.
"Why not? Although Xiao Han is not the king of the Great Moon Kingdom, in the near future, he is likely to abolish the current Great Moon Kingdom and ascend to the position of the Great Moon Kingdom by himself. If I join the Ike family, the strength of the Great Moon Kingdom will definitely increase greatly by then, and it will be difficult for him to create an unprecedented foundation!" Rong Xin Ike said excitedly.
"You are so confident in that Mr. Xiao?"
"In the near future, the Black Water Kingdom and the Doro Province of our Purple Gold Empire will become part of the Great Yue Kingdom. Isn't this enough to prove the ambition of Mr. Xiao?" said Rong Xin Ike.
"The Doro Province is now in a bad situation, with thieves everywhere. The Duke of the Shu family has never shown up yet. I wonder what this Duke Xiao wants to do?" Long Qin Aike said.
"Shu's sister has been in the province of Dodoro for many days. There must be her reason why she has not appeared." Rong Xin Ike said.
"Although the Doro Province is close to the Hei Shui Kingdom, that place has no value anymore. It is not worth the Shu family's price to pay such a great price." Longqin Ike commented.
"Sister Shu is not as talented as Rong Xin. I believe that she must have her purpose in choosing Doro Province." Rong Xin Ike said.
"Rongxin, you still couldn't convince me. In my opinion, marriage with the Situ family is much better than that of your alliance with Fengcheng, and the relationship between the in-laws is much more reliable than that of the alliance. Moreover, I can ask the Situ family to list Situ Jun as the official heir. After you marry, you will be the wife of the young head. I think that Situ Jun and the person who supports his successor to the head of the family will definitely do their best to promote this." Longqin Aike said.
"The Situ family is now head of Situ Minmin. This woman's ancestor should understand that for the benefit of the family, she can now make Situ Jun the heir. As long as she does not inherit the position of head of the family, she can depose her at any time. As you said, everything is for the benefit of the family. If it were not for this, would you put me under house arrest?" Rong Xin Ike said sarcastically.
"How could a formally enthroned heir be deposed casually? Rong Xin, your thoughts are too extreme." Long Qin Aike said with a gloomy face.
"Aren't I a living example? You said you put me under house arrest and I immediately lost my freedom of movement. My elder brother committed the crime of rebellion. Didn't you let it go? Even if Situ Jun became the head of the family, the Situ family was not Situ Minmin? " Rong Xin. Ake simply let go and said, in front of her, the head of the Ike family was behind, not the ancestor who loved her since she was a child.
"What you said is possible, but it does not mean that it will happen." Longqin Ike said.
"Is my ancestor worried that the power of the Great Yue Kingdom is not enough to ensure the safety of our Ike family?" Rong Xin Ike asked.
"Yes, although Mr. Xiao controlled the Dayue Kingdom, the Dayue Kingdom was a weak country in the Western Regions after all, with limited power and was not enough to resist the powerful army of orcs. The Meijia Empire was different. One of the four human empires on the mainland, with strong soldiers and horses, and millions of troops were waiting for the battle. The orc army could not invade the Meijia Empire at all." Long Qin Aike said.
"When it comes to elite soldiers and generals, how many purple gold empires are there? But why are the orcs driving straight into such a large area of territory?" Rong Xin Ike asked back.
The Purple Gold Empire lost nearly two million troops in battle with the orcs. Now the total number of troops in the country is more than three million, but one-third of the troops can really fight against the orcs. Of course, the combat effectiveness of the private armies of the nobles in various places is also good, but they are too scattered and not affiliated with each other, making it difficult to form strong attack power. Moreover, there is no qualified commander to command this army. Once they fight with the orcs, they will definitely lose more than they win.
"The Mega Empire has the current famous general Duke Lewinster, who is not afraid of the orcs' attack at all. The Purple Gold Royal Family is incompetent and destroys the Great Wall. If Duke Shu is alive, how could the orcs enter the North Heaven Gate?" Long Qin Aike said.
"Lewinster is indeed a famous general in the world, but he has never fought with orcs. This person is arrogant and unruly. The Mega Empire has not had any war for twenty years. The combat effectiveness of the army is questionable. Moreover, the emperor of the Mega Empire likes the most is to change generals in the last battle, which is even more terrifying than the Soul Dragon Empire in the East, because he only uses one or two eunuchs to supervise the army." Rong Xin Ike retorted, "In contrast, although the Great Yue Kingdom has only 800,000 troops, eliminating the old and weak and mediocre, they are all long-term war soldiers left after streamlining. The five major legions have excellent weapons and the five major legions will hunt Fengmahu. The combat effectiveness and quality of Qi shocked the countries in the Western Regions. All countries have formed alliances with it and have formed a military alliance in the Western Regions!"
"Even so, I don't think Dayue Kingdom and Xiao Han have the ability to block the powerful orc's troops!" Long Qin Ike said.
Long Qin Ike knew that even if she recognized Rong Xin Ike, the Ike family was not his own, and no one else would agree with it. Rong Xin Ike wanted to form an alliance with Fengcheng only had her own wishful thinking.
"Don't our ancestors know that if we take this wrong step, there is a danger that the Ike family will no longer exist?" Rong Xin. Ike said anxiously.
"I know, but now most people in the family will not agree, so you must marry into the Situ family!" Longqin Ike said.
"Old ancestor, why do you still have to do it even though you know this is a mistake?" Rong Xin Ike asked in confusion.
"Because I don't do this, the Ike family will probably become history now." Longqin Ike said.
"How could this happen? As long as you support your great-granddaughter, the Ike family will become stronger after experiencing a brief pain." Rong Xin Ike said.
"There are too many variables in the alliance with Fengcheng, and it is not clear whether it is good or bad. The effect of marriage with the Situ family is immediate. Moreover, the strong strength of the Situ family can help us a lot. You know that our Ike family started with ship transportation. If we choose to form an alliance with the Great Yue Kingdom, do you know that we will throw away the foundation left to us by our ancestors. The Great Yue Kingdom is basically transported by land. What should we do with our ships? Will we smash them all?" Longqin Ike asked Rong Xin and Ike.
When Rong Xin Ike heard this, she was stunned. She was still young. Although she was brave and wise, she still did not consider the old guy like Long Qin Ike in some aspects.
"Although my Ike family started with shipping, shipping now only accounts for 10% of our family business. After abandoning this percentage, we can cooperate with Mr. Xiao. Now the Hongxiu Tianxiang Business Association is already the closest partner of Fengcheng. There are also the Natural God Cult in the South, and they have cooperated with Fengcheng. After the Hongxiu Tianxiang Business Association cooperates with Fengcheng, do you know what the ancestors have? Does the sales revenue of the Tang suit and Hanfu they jointly launched?" Rong Xin Ike said.
Ike still knew about Tang suits and Hanfu Longqin. He was luxurious, elegant and generous. He ordered someone to order two sets, and spent tens of thousands of gold coins for this!
For Longqin Ike, losing shipping is equivalent to losing the foundation that our ancestors have worked hard to create. This is absolutely intolerable. If we withdraw to the Mega Empire, we can use the river channel to inherit the ancestors' shipping industry.
For Rong Xin and Ike, this kind of conservative and persistent ancestral property is a fool, but after all, some old guys in the family are in charge, so it is almost impossible for these people to abandon those jars and jars.
Rubin Ike grasped the minds of these people and said that these old guys unanimously agreed to the marriage with the Situ family.
After the failure of the seizure of power by force, Rubin Ike almost lost the inheritance rights of the family and was still under surveillance. If the Ike family had not faced a choice, it was the Situ family who made the request for marriage. Once the marriage was reached, who else would be more qualified to inherit the family than him?
So at the suggestion of some people, he was released and regained his freedom.
"I have agreed to the Situ family's proposal. In two days, someone will come to hire him. Whether you agree or not, you will marry into the Situ family!" Longqin Ike said.
When Rong Xin Ike heard this, the blood on her pretty face faded away in an instant, and her body shook for a while, and she almost fell down on the spot.
"Rongxin, for the sake of the family, I have aggrieved you. Since you are the children of my Ike family, you should share the worries of my Ike family. This is your destiny and the destiny of my ancestors!" Longqin Ike said.
"Old ancestor, is there no other way besides marriage?" Rong Xin and Ike asked moaned.
"If the Situ family wants to persuade the Ike family to persuade the Ike family to accept the refuge in the Mega Empire, there must be a reason, and in-laws are the best reason. If it is an ordinary in-laws, you don't need to sacrifice. If the young head of the Situ family takes the princess of the Ike family, then this reason will be more sufficient, and no one will stop it." Longqin Ike explained.
"Old ancestor, what if I firmly disagree with this marriage?" Rong Xin Ike said resolutely.
"I'm afraid you can't help it. Rong Xin, you have to remember that the family is the first priority, and it is your and my responsibility." Long Qin Ike said.
"I, Rong Xin, can fight for my family, and can sacrifice myself on the battlefield, but I will not marry a man I don't like at all!" Rong Xin Ike said loudly.
"Rareless, the women of my Ike family can sacrifice everything for the benefit of the family. This is the tradition of my Ike family. This matter has been decided. Just wait and be the wife of the Situ family." Longqin Ike scolded angrily.
"Family, it's a family. A family cannot even guarantee the happiness of their own people. What else does this family do?" Rong Xin Ike said the words she had hidden in her heart for a long time.
"Bastard, my ancestors know that this is unfair to you, but since you are the eldest princess of the Ike family, you have to make sacrifices for the happiness of most family members. Do you understand?" Longqin Ike said.
"Old ancestor, don't you feel a little cruel to do this?" Rong Xin made her debut with tears in her eyes.
"If I, Ike's direct lineage, can lead the entire family, how can I convince all members of the family, and how can I continue the glory of the Ike family?" Long Qin, Ike's three "how" rushed out like a continuous cannon.
"But why was it me who sacrificed?" Rong Xin Ike asked cryingly.
"If it weren't for the orc invasion, the ancestor wouldn't have made such a decision. Child, I know you are wronged, but for the sake of the family, for your parents and brothers and sisters, you must make sacrifices. Besides, you are a match with Situ Jun, and you may not be happy to marry him." Long Qin Ike patiently comforted him.
"But I have agreed to form an alliance with Fengcheng. Such a breach of trust may cause dissatisfaction from Mr. Xiao!" said Rong Xin and Ike.
"You are just a verbal agreement. Whether to form an alliance or not is a matter of not being a breach of trust." Long Qin Aike said lightly and indifferently.
"I'm afraid my ancestors will regret it in the future." Rong Xin Ake calmed down and a trace of resolute light flashed across the corners of his eyes.
"As long as you marry into the Situ family, our Ike family will still be brilliant." Longqin Ike said.
It's never possible. I will never marry Situ Jun! Rong Xin and Ike said silently in his heart.
Under tight escort, Rong Xin Ike returned to the chrysanthemum platform.
"Girl, how about it?" Zhu Yinggu came up and asked.
Rong Xin Ike shook his head with a wry smile. It was obvious that Long Qin Ike agreed to the Situ family's proposal after careful consideration. Rong Xin Ike wanted to change this decision in a few words, which was really difficult. Moreover, the race was very unfavorable to form an alliance with Fengcheng, and its foundation was too shallow. Although he was in power now, he could be driven down at any time. Especially Xiao Han, who made many enemies, and the enemies were all very strong. Although he still maintained an unbeaten trend, he would be completely defeated as long as he defeated once. On the contrary, the Situ family was a big family that had been thousands of years old. It had a deep foundation in the Mejia Empire and had basically no rivals. It was very promising to marry and then form an alliance!
"Then we are ready to leave here at any time, girl, are you following us?" Zhu Yinggu said.
"You let me think about it." Rong Xin Ike said contradictoryly. If she left, the marriage would inevitably fail. Then the Ike family would have to retreat east and seek refuge.
Wouldn’t it be an irresponsible act to leave it alone?
"Girl, why are you hesitating? They are forcing you to marry someone you don't like, why should you obey their mercy?" Kikunori said.
"I'll leave, but what should I do with the Ike family? I'm from the Ike family, so I can't ignore its life and death." Rong Xin Ike said.
"It's already now. Is it useful for you to take care of it? Children all know that the Situ family has bad intentions towards you Aike family, and you are still jumping into their arms. I really don't know what the old guys in your family are thinking!" Ju Ren said.
"You can't say that, it's not that easy for the Situ family to swallow my Ike family!" Rong Xin Ike said.
"Of course not, just three families are fine." Zhu Yinggu said.
"Three families?" Rong Xin Ike was shocked. Why did she forget this? If it was just the Situ family that had an intention to the Ike family, they could still deal with it and confront it by winning over the royal family of the Mega Empire. I believe that the emperor of the Mega Empire would definitely be willing to have a force that could restrain and balance the Situ family.
And now she thought of a very terrible fact. If it were not just three families, but the Ike family would basically go without returning as soon as they set foot on the land of the Mega Empire!
"No, I want to see my ancestor!" Rong Xin Ike said hurriedly.
Chapter completed!
