Chapter 229

["I am me, he is him. I have lost contact with that man Marquez six years ago, and I don't know anything about him."]

[Hearing your answer, Lord Palace Secretary lowered his head in disappointment.]

[He originally wanted to know from you about Prime Minister Marquez's next move towards his country, but unfortunately his expectations were dashed.]

[The Empire and the Far East Country have always been hostile. After Marquez came to power, he could launch a war against the Far East Country at any time.]

[You have been smart since you were young, and you quickly understood Lord Palace Secretary's thoughts. ]

[Out of kindness, you reminded the palace master: "Although I don't know what he has done in the past six years, you should not have any expectations of him. You'd better not dream of making a deal with that man. He is a ruthless man who can even take his own son as a hostage for political interests. He has no humanity at all. If you make a deal with such a man, he will only use you until the last moment. When you are no longer useful, he will kick you away."]

[Hearing your evaluation of your father, the palace master's eyes became heavier, as if covered by a dark cloud. ]

[The empire where Marquez is the prime minister is undoubtedly one of the most powerful countries in the world, and the Far East Island Country is just a small island country. ]

[If, as you said, the Prime Minister Marquez is a cruel leader who will do anything to achieve his goals, I am afraid it will bring a serious disaster to the whole world, including the Far East Island Country. 】

【Thinking of this, the palace assistant frowned, looked up at you, smiled slightly, and said:】

【"Master Qiao Qiao, even if it is for Ying and Ling, please send a letter to the Prime Minister."】

【Hearing the palace assistant's request, you frowned and said with a rather unfriendly face:】

【"I don't know him well, why should I write to him?"】

【The palace assistant knew that you and Prime Minister Marquez had always had a bad relationship, and he would definitely not be willing to write to him on his own initiative. 】

【But now, as a citizen of the island country, for the survival of the country, he can only put down his dignity and bow to you, and said humbly: "You can write anything, please write a letter to your father and say that you are on the land of your country!"】

【You looked at the palace assistant kneeling to you and begged, your brows slowly untied, and sighed helplessly. 】

【"I know, get up, I'll write a letter to the old man."】

【In fact, you know what Mr. Miyagi means. As long as Prime Minister Marquez knows that his son is on the island, he will not easily start a war here. 】

【The reason why he took you in at the shrine, in addition to letting you take care of Sakura and Ling when necessary, is that he also has the idea of ​​using you as a 'hostage', which may be useful when the country is in danger. 】

【After all, he is his first wife and the only child, so he will be more cautious. 】

【But from your point of view, even if Prime Minister Marquez knew that you were still alive, he would not pity your life. 】

【As long as it is for his own political interests, he will take your life without hesitation. 】

【After all... your mother, the woman he loved most, died under the ruins of the institute to save you. 】

【Strictly speaking, you are one of the murderers who killed his wife. 】

【He doesn't have much affection for you who has a grudge against his wife. ]

This father is really cruel...

Even a tiger won't eat its own cubs.

But for his own political interests, Marquez even sent his son to the enemy country as a hostage.

But it's also true... Those who sit in high positions and hold supreme power in their hands are more or less cold and ruthless.

In the interests of the country, what does a mere son mean?

Anyway, he is only in his forties, still young...

If one is gone, he can still have more.

[Although you know that your father doesn't have much affection for you, and even has some complicated hatred. But in order to repay the grace of the palace master for taking you in for more than two years, you still take the responsibility of writing a letter to your father. ]

[When you finish writing the letter, it's just the time for the annual summer festival. ]

[You put the postmark on the envelope and put it in the mailbox, with a slight smile on your face, hoping that he can fly to the territory of the empire. ]

[But in a flash, your face becomes very gloomy again. ]

[Because... you know your father has no feelings for you. Even if he receives the envelope, he won't have any emotional fluctuations. Maybe... he will send someone to capture you. ]

[Thinking of this, you feel very regretful and want to take the envelope back, but after thinking it over again and again, you still shake your head, let your mind clear up, and say to yourself:]

["Even if he receives the envelope, he can't find this place. This is the Far East Country, not the Empire. No matter how long his hands are, he can't reach here!"]

[You are tired of being dominated by your father and enjoy playing with Ying and Ling on this island country. ]

[This is simply your utopia! ]

[You don't want to return to your father's clutches again. ]

[After sending the envelope, you sent a text message to Ying, asking her to wait under the big locust tree at the shrine at night. You have something to tell her, and you specifically tell her to be alone and not to tell Ling. ]

[You don't want anyone to disturb you when you confess your love. ]

[After sending the message, you turned off the screen of your phone, took out the love letter to Ying, and smiled happily. ]

[You fantasized about the happiness of dating, marrying, and having children with Ying. In the future, you must give birth to a football team and even thought of a name. ]

Good fellow...

You didn't even succeed in confessing your love.

You fantasized about dating, getting married... and even thought of a name for your child.

Should I say it's a wild imagination or a foolish dream?

Besides...it takes at least 11 people to give birth to a football team.

Do you think Ying is a sow?

How can she give birth?

Chapter 378 Why should I pay for something I can get for free?

[On the night of the summer festival, you waited under the big locust tree in front of the shrine early. ]

[Looking down from the shrine, you can see the whole village. ]

[At this moment, the sky is pitch black, the moonlight is dim, and the stars are twinkling, forming a dazzling and brilliant galaxy. 】

【Every household in the village turned off the lights, and the houses were dark and quiet. Only the streets where the summer festival was held were hung with dense orange lanterns. Many weak lights gathered into a narrow river, like the body of a fire dragon. 】

【You looked at the bright lights and the lively reception below, with a slight smile on your lips, and your heart was full of expectations. 】

【"Master Qiao Qiao, I've kept you waiting for a long time." 】

【You were watching the streets that were as bright as the stars, and suddenly heard a gentle and pleasant female voice, so you immediately turned around to look. 】

【Yakura was wearing a white kimono, wooden clogs on her feet, and holding a bag with a long rope in her hand. She ran over in a hurry, and her long sleeves printed with pink cherry blossoms fluttered. Her graceful figure wrapped in the kimono swayed gently, giving people a feeling of youth and agility. 】

【You looked at Ying who was running towards you, and said with a slight smile: "You are usually so well-behaved, why are you late today?"】

【Ying lowered her head with some guilt, and said sincerely: "I am really sorry, Master Qiao Qiao, Ling kept clamoring to follow me, and I finally got rid of her."】

【Ying was sweating nervously while bowing. 】

【"I really didn't mean to be late, please forgive me!"】

【Seeing Ying was scared out of her wits by you, you laughed out loud as if you had succeeded in a prank. 】

【"Haha, you came at a good time, just in time for me to take a good look at the scenery here."】

【Ying also followed your gaze and looked at the street. Seeing the magnificent scene of lights converging into a river, she smiled slightly and said: "As long as Master Qiao Qiao likes the scenery here."】

【You just covered up the time when Ying was late with a few words, and gently put your hand into your trouser pocket, about to take out the love letter. 】

【Ying suddenly interrupted you and said, "By the way, Master Qiao Qiao, what did the palace master ask you to talk about in his office this afternoon?"】

【Hearing Ying's words, your desire to call out the love letter suddenly stopped, and you could only look up at her and say, "Nothing, just asked me to write a letter."】

【You didn't want Ying to know too much about your family, so you deliberately didn't mention it. 】

【You think it's not too late to talk about those things when you are dating in the future. ]

[After hearing your answer, Ying nodded slightly and said, "Just writing a letter? I thought there was something more important."]

[Ying looked a little sad, which made you temporarily give up the idea of ​​handing over the love letter, and asked with concern: "Did something happen to the Lord of the Palace?"]

[Ying nodded slightly and said, "Qiao Qiao, you are so smart, you must have seen it. Since three days ago, the Lord of the Palace has been worried about something."]

[Ying turned to look at your pretty face and smiled slightly: "Originally... I thought that Master Qiao Qiao was specially called out by the Lord of the Palace, so he should know what he is worried about."]

["I do know what the Lord of the Palace is worried about."]

["Really?"]

[Ying looked at you in surprise. ]

[You do know that the Lord of the Palace is worried about the Empire launching a war against the Far East Country, but you don't want Ying and Ling to be involved in the fight between countries. ]

[You hope that she and Ling can live the life they want in the future without being bound by anything. ]

[You don't want Ying to worry about the fate of the country like the chief priest, so you plan to make a joke and hide the truth. ]

[You said to Ying with a smile: "He is worried about the operation of the shrine. If it continues like this, the shrine will have to close down." ]

[Hearing your words, Ying blinked her clear eyes half-believingly. ]

["Qiao Qiao, in this case, what did he want to talk to you about in the office?" ]

[You walked gently beside Ying, grinning and said: "Talk...sell you to me, get some funds to operate the shrine, otherwise he will go out to beg on the street together!" ]

["Nonsense!" ]

["Ying was so angry that her face turned red, and she stared at you coquettishly. ]

["You are telling the truth." Qiao Qiao said seriously: "He also said that if he buys you now, he can buy one and get one free. Buy you and give me Ling! ”】

【“You’re such a liar, I won’t be fooled!”】

【Ying turned her head away with a look of disbelief.】

【“I didn’t say anything...” Qiao Qiao continued to deceive: “Think about it... why did the chief priest take me in at the shrine and told you and Ling to take care of me for two years. He did that to let you get used to taking care of me earlier. When the time is right, you and Ling will both be my maids.”】

【Hearing Qiao Qiao’s words, Ying became more and more frightened. 】

【It is a fact that the people of the Far East Country are gathering in big cities, and the number of residents in villages is decreasing. It is becoming more and more difficult to run the shrine. 】

【It is also a fact that Qiao Qiao is a super rich man. 】

【Besides... the chief priest did ask Xiao Ling and himself to take extra care of Qiao Qiao. 】

【Ying thought that it was because Qiao Qiao was the son of the Prime Minister of the Empire that he took extra care of him. 】

【Now that I think about it carefully, what Qiao Qiao said is probably true. 】

【Especially recently, the palace official has been worried and often told her and Ling that if they leave him in the future, they must listen to Qiao Qiao...】

【The words imply that she and Ling will be handed over to Qiao Qiao. 】

【Thinking of this, Ying completely believed what Qiao Qiao said. She first calmed down and thought silently for a moment, then looked up at you and said:】

【"Qiao Qiao, I can be your slave, but Ling can't. She is still too young and can't do many things..."】

【Ying has a resigned look on her face. 】

Hey, hey, hey...

Don't accept the fate of being a slave so easily.

It's as if you have been wanting to sell yourself to me for a long time.

【Seeing that Ying had believed your words, you smiled slightly and said playfully: "That won't work. I have to test it before I sell it. What if there is something wrong with your body?"】

【Hearing your words, Ying was surprised and opened her mouth slightly, then frowned slightly, thinking about whether to let you test it. 】

【She thought for a long time, and finally made up her mind. She nodded firmly and said: "Then I will let you test your body, I promise not to let you down!"】

【Hearing Ying agree to your request for inspection, the desire in your heart is like a volcano about to erupt. You swallowed your saliva with hunger and said foolishly: "Are you really going to let me test it?"】

【You look at Ying's slender figure in kimono, your face is full of blush, your heart is full of expectations, and your eyes are very hungry. 】

【"Of course!"】

【Ying nodded firmly. 】

【After getting Ying's affirmation, you immediately reached out your hand, wanting to appreciate Ying's figure, but she suddenly went back on her word, turned around and left, passing by your hand. 】
