Chapter 948

"Back then, His Majesty the King was just a prince. During a tour, other princes colluded with outsiders, killed all the royal guards around the prince, and then kidnapped him."

"At that time, your grandfather, like your father, was the captain of the Royal Guard. You can't blame him for this incident. After all, all the members of the Royal Guard have devoted their lives to the last drop of blood and are loyal to the country. But your grandfather is not like that. Think, that is the crown prince, someone who must be protected even if he dies."

"Your grandfather led thirteen personal guards to track and investigate all the way, and finally found the prince's location. When they were secretly carrying out the rescue, they did not expect to be discovered by the other party. The result... Sigh!" The elder couldn't help but sigh One sound.

"Then why didn't he send someone to find a large army to rescue him, instead of trying to be brave? As the minister of the military department, you can't sit idly by, right?" Li Zhenbang frowned.

It stands to reason that since the person has been found, he should follow up secretly, and at the same time send someone to find a large army to rescue. At that time, the Great Elder was already the Minister of the Military Department, so dispatching troops and generals should not be a problem.

"He has no reinforcements at all, and it is impossible to have reinforcements." The Great Elder shook his head.

"Why?" Li Zhenbang looked at the Great Elder in surprise, "Could it be... that he has already left the border of the Kaluo Empire?"

The Great Elder nodded, gritted his teeth and said, "It's already within the territory of Fredham City. If you send troops to rescue them, they will be mistaken for wanting to start a war."

Li Zhenbang didn't say anything more. Although the great elder was not the minister of the military department back then, he was qualified to send a group of strong soldiers to rescue.

You must know that the prince of the Carlo Empire was arrested at that time, which was equivalent to slapping the face of the Carlo Empire. The elder is gnashing his teeth angrily when he mentions it now, let alone at that time, but he still held back and did not send troops. It can be seen that at that time The gap between the Carlo Empire and Friedham City should not be small.

A weak country has no diplomacy, lacks national strength, and has no right to speak in the face of a powerful enemy. It can do nothing but endure.

"In the end, although your grandfather rescued the prince safely,

But all the thirteen guards who went with him stayed there, and your grandfather was also seriously injured. Although your grandfather recovered a little later, no matter how difficult it was to improve his strength, the old injury recurred in the end, and he passed away. "The voice of the great elder was full of helplessness.

"If your grandfather hadn't died, he would have become the youngest holy warrior in our family. It's a pity, for your grandfather's oath of loyalty to the royal family, for the glory of the family..."

"When His Majesty ascended the throne, your grandfather was gone. In order to commend your grandfather's achievements, His Majesty bestowed the family with this gold medal, which represents the supreme honor."

"His Majesty the King even betrothed the princess to your father. Even when the princess did not give birth to a boy and could not pass on your grandfather's lineage, His Majesty allowed your father to marry another house. You know, this is unprecedented. It's never happened before!"

"To be honest, when I was young, I felt that what your grandfather did was not worth it. If your father became a holy warrior, he would definitely bring more glory to the family and give the family a more dignified status in the Carlo Empire. But Now I know that what your grandfather did is correct, he is a man of great wisdom. He exchanged his own future for the future of the family." The elder's eyes became extremely deep.

"If he becomes a jihadist, then our Red Maple Leaf family is definitely not just an earl's mansion!" Li Zhenbang didn't think much of his grandfather Li Zhantian's choice.

He always felt that his grandfather Li Zhantian wanted to live forever, and if he really cared about the family, he should maximize the benefits.

Although he has never met Li Zhantian, he can know a thing or two from his family members that Li Zhantian is definitely a once-in-a-century genius in the family in terms of force, even if he is called a once-in-a-century genius in the Carlo Empire. Pass.

Thinking about it, there can be many golden warriors in their thirties, but half-sages in their thirties are rare. There are not many such people in the history of the entire continent. , Nine out of ten are demigod-level existences.

"Bastard!" The Great Elder slapped the table hard, and the dilapidated table was finally overwhelmed and fell apart with a bang.

"What do you know? Having a holy-level powerhouse in a family can certainly improve the family's status in the empire, but his family is also far away from the core of the empire!" The elder looked at Li Zhenbang with a look of hatred .

"Away from the core of the empire? Why? Isn't it a good thing for the family to have a saint-level powerhouse in charge?" Li Zhenbang looked at the elder in puzzlement, he really couldn't understand the reason.

"Think about it for yourself, among the big families in our empire that have saint-level powerhouses, apart from the few saint-level powerhouses who have certain rights, who in their family has real power? It sounds like a good name, This duke's mansion, that duke's mansion, but is there anything their family can do?" The Great Elder leaned on a cane with his hands behind his back and shook his head.

Li Zhenbang thought for a moment, and it was true what the Great Elder said, as long as there are saint-level powerhouses in the family, the members of the family may have no worries about food and drink, but they have no real power.

If the people in their families are full of wine bags and rice bags, it's fine if they don't have outstanding people. In some families, there are still some recognized capable ministers, but they are all just officials with the ability to advise.

"Why? With the support of saint-level powerhouses, the strength of the empire will be stronger. It stands to reason that the families of saint-level powerhouses should be given preferential treatment to grow bigger and bigger?" Li Zhenbang asked the doubts in his heart.

"It's true to receive preferential treatment, but it won't grow bigger and bigger. The saint-level powerhouse already has absolute strength. If his family has real power, it will be a huge threat to the imperial power. Not to mention He may become a demigod, which is a potential threat to the empire."

"Think about it, if someone from the family of a holy powerhouse violates the law, should His Majesty deal with it impartially or bend the law for personal gain on the face of the holy powerhouse? Once it is dealt with impartially, it will definitely hurt the face of the holy powerhouse. If you don’t deal with it impartially, it will chill the hearts of others. The families of holy-level powerhouses are so difficult to deal with, so how should the demigod’s family be dealt with?"

"A holy powerhouse is a double-edged sword. If you control it well, it will deter the power of other countries. If you don't control it well, you may hurt yourself." The elder said earnestly.

"Is it a crime to have a holy-level powerhouse in the family?" Li Zhenbang stared at the elder with rounded eyes. He really had some difficulty agreeing with the elder's point of view.

"It's certainly not a sin to have a saint-level powerhouse, but how many saint-level powerhouses dare to sacrifice themselves to complete the family?" The elder elder's voice rose a little, obviously his heart was very disturbed.

"Although our family does not have a saint-level powerhouse, how many saint-level powerhouses dare to challenge our family in the Carlo Empire? All of this is due to your grandfather Li Zhantian, who sacrificed his future and even his life for it. In exchange for the family." The Great Elder carefully took the gold medal off the shelf, and handed it to Li Zhenbang.

"Take a good look, this is the honor and family status that your grandfather gained by betting his future and life!" The elder's voice trembled a little, and his eyes were a little red.

"Our family will always end up in the Carlo Empire, the King of the Carlo Empire. Don't talk about others, it is my life. As long as His Majesty the King thinks it is necessary, he can take it away at any time!" The elder almost roared.

Li Zhenbang couldn't help but carefully looked at the gold medal. There were only eight large characters on the gold medal, "Designation on behalf of the heavens, prosperity forever."

Grandfather Li Zhantian gave up the chance to become a saint-level powerhouse or even a demigod just for this gold medal made of pure gold and these eight characters. Is it worth it?

"Zhenbang, have you figured it out?" Seeing Li Zhenbang's thoughtful look, the elder continued to ask.

"What do you want to understand?" Li Zhenbang looked at the elder in a daze.

How did the Great Elder know that Li Zhenbang's thoughtfulness was not because he wanted to dedicate everything to the family, but because he was thinking about whether it was worth it.

Seeing Li Zhenbang's appearance, the elder was so angry that he almost lost his breath. He talked with himself for a long time, and even he was so touched that he was completely moved. In the end, Li Zhenbang didn't listen to anything!

"You...you..." The Great Elder trembled angrily, raised his hand, and pointed at Li Zhenbang. After a long while, he didn't say what he said next.

"Cough...cough..." The Great Elder coughed hard a few times, and then managed to calm down.

"Li Zhenbang, I won't play around with you anymore, just say, how are you going to explain to His Majesty and the family?" The Great Elder took a deep breath, tried to calm himself down, and tried to maintain a calm mind.

"What is there to explain? I am a summoned beast mage, not a necromancer. What is summoned is not decided by me, but by the summoned beast magic god. Even the summoned beast magic god has no objection, so why does His Majesty the King have any opinions?" ?” Li Zhenbang looked at the elder with a frown.

How could Li Zhenbang not know that the Great Elder told him so many intentions, nothing more than hoping that I would follow my grandfather's example and be a person who sacrificed himself and benefited the country and family. But unfortunately, I can't do it myself,

I have some affection for this family, but it hasn't reached the point where I can sacrifice everything. He can understand everything the family has done to him, but it doesn't mean he can be indifferent.

The family's honor and interests are really incomparable with my contract summoned beast. Although I have the blood of the Red Maple Leaf family in my body, it is not the family that can communicate with me and is willing to die for me... …
