Chapter 1313: 1314What do you want?
Chapter 13131314What do you ask for?
“Put your guns away!” The future Lions II, the crown prince of the Lions Empire and the eldest son of Lions I, frowned and yelled.
With his scolding, the surrounding soldiers lowered their weapons. The Crown Prince withdrew his gaze with satisfaction, grabbed the Tang ambassador's hand, and said enthusiastically: "Misunderstanding! It's all a misunderstanding! Let's go back! Come into the room and talk! Come into the room and talk!"
The Police Chief of Lanes City who was standing aside was completely down. He really didn't expect that His Highness the "Prince" who was supervising the country would come in person to support the ambassador of the Tang Empire.
This time I really made the right choice. If I had known that this giant Buddha existed, I would have been so nervous. Now in the Lions Empire, the Crown Prince in front of me... is the biggest!
Seeing His Royal Highness the Crown Prince dragging the Ambassador of the Tang Dynasty back into the house, the officers and soldiers who were ordered to arrest him looked at each other, not knowing what to do for a moment.
In fact, he didn't keep them waiting for too long. After the crown prince walked up the steps, he turned around and scolded in a cold voice: "What are you still doing here? Don't you think it's embarrassing enough? Get out! Where did you come from? ! I’ll deal with you guys later!”
After speaking, he smiled and made a gesture of invitation: "Mr. Ambassador, please! I will host a banquet tonight to calm Mr. Ambassador's shock!"
Several royal guards frowned and glanced at the soldiers. The soldiers immediately exited the main entrance of the embassy dejectedly, like eggplants beaten by frost.
The soldiers of the Tang Empire who were standing at the door picked up the weapons on the ground, looked at the lost dogs with a smile, and did not forget to ask the officer of the Lions Empire who was going out: "Do you want to hand over the gun? If you don't hand it over, I will continue to hold it." Already?"
The other party didn't dare to say anything, he just looked at the Tang guards with a sinister look, and then exited the gate. A group of them just stood guard at the door. The officer chose a smart subordinate and went to find the phone to report the situation to the superiors.
Inside the room, the Ambassador of Tang State who walked into his office motioned to the Crown Prince to sit wherever he wanted, and then ordered to prepare tea: "Your Highness, Crown Prince, you are here this time...to ask for something?"
“Sir, there is no need to guess. The Crown Prince does have something to ask of you...” After the Crown Prince sat down, he glanced at the police chief who was still standing there.
"If His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is thirsty for talents, this would be a good choice." The ambassador of the Tang Empire pointed to the police chief of Lanes City and directly returned the favor he had just sent.
。
"Since it was recommended by Mr. Ambassador, I can naturally trust you. You..." His Royal Highness the Crown Prince did not remember the name of the director for a while, and asked after a long tone: "Are you willing to be loyal to me?"
"Your Highness! I am willing to serve you and offer you my loyalty!" At this time, even a fool knew what to say. The police chief of Lanes City immediately lowered his head and assured his new master.
The crown prince also knew that this was the "eyeliner" planted by the other party around him, and he did not expose it. He came here to negotiate terms, and naturally he had to offer enough chips to ask for something.
After all, what he asked for was... somewhat expensive.
"Your Highness, do you have anything to say?" Ambassador Tang leaned on his desk, looked at the somewhat uneasy crown prince, and said.
"I have always advocated good relations with the Tang Empire... My father was deceived by the treacherous ministers. He insisted on going his own way and refused to listen to dissuasion..." The crown prince did not say anything directly when he opened his mouth, but went around in circles and performed Tai Chi: "This time he went on a personal expedition...it really shouldn't be the case."
In fact, it is not a secret that King Lanes I personally led the expedition. He must have explained a lot of things before leaving Lanes City. For example, you should hand over military power to your confidants, and allocate part of the "power" to your son to check and balance each other to stabilize the rear, and lay down backup forces to deal with emergencies.
In short, the more arrangements he made before leaving, the more people who came into contact with the matter of "His Majesty the Emperor's personal expedition"...and the more people who knew about it, the more the secrecy became a joke.
What makes people laugh or cry is that before Lanes I left Lanes City, the Tang Empire knew most of his itinerary.
So among those who are interested, the fact that the emperor personally conducted the expedition is not a secret at all, let alone the existence of the intelligence agency of the Tang Empire.
Hence, the crown prince has no intention of deceiving, because deception has no meaning at this time. The news they received a few hours ago that the fleet of the Lines Empire had been attacked was confirmed by the Tang Empire.
It was precisely because of hearing this news that the Crown Prince personally came to the Datang Empire’s Embassy in Lanes for these “programs”.
Ambassador Tang Guo waited for a while and found that the other party had not entered the topic. He interrupted the other party's impassioned speech with a smile: "Your Highness! There are some things that are better to go around in circles than to be direct."
His eyes looking down at the other person met the crown prince's raised gaze. Their eyes met, and the atmosphere in the room almost solidified.
"Let's be honest." The ambassador of Tang State walked up to the crown prince, leaned over and asked word for word: "What do you want when you come here this time? That position, or that father."
This is a very simple question, but actually very difficult to answer. The simple thing is that this is just a multiple-choice question. The difficult thing is how to choose...
If you want your father Lions I to return safely, then the emperor is still his father, and he is just a crown prince.
But if...his father cannot come back, then he will be Lions II, and the entire empire will become his possession. That is power at his fingertips.
The Crown Prince swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and sweat began to form on his nose before he knew it. He was really too nervous. He was so nervous that he clenched his fists involuntarily, and his palms were already wet.
As long as he opens his mouth, he knows that the other party will satisfy his request, no matter what the price. Look at Zhao Yu, how bad he is, the Tang Empire has indeed fulfilled its promise to him.
I am not Zhao Yu, I am hundreds of times stronger than Zhao Yu. As long as he pays a small price, he can sit in that position in St. Lions Palace.
The Chief of Lanes City Police Station standing aside was trembling in his calves. If he had known that he would hear this kind of content, he would rather he had never entered this room.
It's so exciting... maybe I'll lose my life if I don't do it.
