Kingdom’s Bloodline Chapter 242: Tianhui
Thales fell silent after listening to Du Suan's words.
"Regarding this matter, I consulted Director Melahovic: You and Jen, you don't owe each other money, but you owe money to other people—many, many people."
Thales raised his head, his eyes serious:
"Relying on the foundation of one city, smashing the pockets of two cities, filling the credit of ten cities, absorbing money from twenty cities, and doing business in hundreds of cities, can it really be used to repay debts? But it is still only the size of a city..."
The light in Du Suan's eyes gradually tightened.
"Relying on the ever-expanding debt and people's confidence in your rule, to extend the debt period, so as to achieve the goal of never paying back the money and making money forever..."
Thales narrowed his eyes:
"Sooner or later something will happen."
Du Suan was silent for a while.
But he quickly looked up, confident as ever.
"First, ordinary people will have accidents," Talal of Congzhong City chuckled, "because they will have bad luck, encounter accidents, fail investments, lose business, and go bankrupt."
Thales' heart sank.
"But we, whether it's you or me, or Zhan En, we won't—because we are city lords and nobles," Dusu'an said, "We, or our descendants, will be forever Domination, eternal progress, and eternity."
"Are you sure?"
Thales was expressionless.
"Remember, even empires are not eternal."
"This is just a description!"
Du Suan waved his hand without hesitation:
"Second, we've been careful."
Thales smiled ironically:
"Be careful, be careful and let me know about this?"
"Who made your Kingdom Secret Science so powerful?"
At this point, Du Su'an raised his eyes, with a half-smile:
"Or, in fact, you tortured Zhan En to such a degree that you even told you his concubine's name?"
Thales' expression changed:
"Jane still has a concubine?"
"Who knows," Du Su'an shrugged, "Thirdly, as long as these two cities are still functioning and there are people living in them-then someone will always pay back the money."
Thales sneered.
"And it will definitely not be you or Zhan En," the prince said in a deep voice, "it will not be the dignitaries who signed and stamped lightly."
"If you think about it better, you won't be your Highness," Du Su'an gestured to Thales, "You will always be a 'money maker', and you will never become one of those" The one who pays back'."
Thales was silent for a long time.
So, this is the "Lisheng Talal" who is praised by everyone and known as "Lisheng Talal" in the Hanbul dynasty.
Lisheng.
Thales couldn't help but secretly sneered.
Don't forget, Thales——At this moment, the voice in his heart quietly reminded:
Don't forget the purpose of your trip.
Don't forget.
Thales took a deep breath and returned to reality.
Exactly.
He has work to do.
The top priority at the moment is to restore the emerald city from the turmoil.
For this reason, he must go all out, use all his wits, and find the weakness of the person in front of him.
Solve a debt that could destroy the Emerald City.
"You are right, Lisheng Talal, as long as the equal sign in the formula is not drawn, then you can sit back and relax."
The prince looked at Du Su'an seriously:
"But now Zhan En is the first to draw an equal sign: he uses the debt owed to you to press for repayment, create a financial crisis, and wants to force me out of the chess game-you are the executor."
Du Suan's smile restrained a bit:
"Hmm."
Thales took a deep breath and prepared to restart this difficult battle:
"So I hope you can..."
"I promise."
"I understand why you're saying no, and that it's a bit overwhelming, but please—what?"
Thales was waiting for the battle, and he was talking to himself, but he immediately reacted and raised his head in surprise:
"What did you say?"
Seeing Congzhong City Talar sitting loosely in front of him, Dusuan Lisheng Godalan smiled.
"I said, I promise."
He leaned forward and said seriously:
"Delay, interest-free, reorganization, relying on the size of the big creditors, persuaded countless small and medium-sized creditors not to be so eager to run... Anything that can help you survive the financial crisis and stay in Emerald City, I will do it Help."
Now, it was Thales' turn to be stunned.
What?
He... just agreed?
So simple?
No other conditions?
Then I have prepared so many arguments and chips with reference to the Karabyan family and the Lasia family...
"For, why?"
Thales asked stupidly.
"Oh, I don't owe Fei Cui—well, I owe you money now." Du Suan waved his hand indifferently, as if he was not talking about a huge debt of millions, but the money for a meal, "The creditor The biggest, so that you don’t have to go the other way and say that it’s only natural to pay off debts.”
"Oh, pay off the debt, God..."
"Again!"
Du Su'an reached out his hand in time to stop Thales from talking.
"As you said, one city fills two cities, two cities are exchanged for ten cities, and ten cities are used to manage twenty cities. Sooner or later, something will happen." At this moment, Lisheng Talal's expression became serious, "and This is very likely, starting with the collapse of one of the money bags."
He looked at Thales seriously, his eyes lacked the relaxed humor just now, and were more cautious and vigilant.
This changed Thales slightly.
Du Suan sighed:
"It's just a pity for Zhan En—I don't know if her sister still needs escape services?"
Speaking of this name, Thales rolled his eyes, and his doubts gathered in another direction:
"You agreed to me so easily - I thought Zhan En and you have a deep friendship, comparable to a loving couple?"
Du Suan's eyes light up:
"Of course."
Du Su'an's conversation changed.
"But you know, let alone close friends, even if you are a couple who have been married for many years, your relationship will go through tests."
I saw the eyes of the city lord of Congzhong City turn, and his aggressive eyes approached Thales:
"Especially... when there are too many temptations outside."
Thales was so unnaturally stared at by him, he coughed quickly:
"But you know, in fact, two people don't necessarily have to fall in love to be a couple..."
"Well said," Du Su'an slapped his hands, regardless of Thales' intentions, and continued on his own, "So, since you've even taken care of Zhan En..."
I saw his serious expression:
"Then why should I continue to be stubborn, harm others but not myself, and be a bad person in vain?"
At that moment, Thales looked at the other person's eyes and understood something.
"I see, this is why you promised me."
Du Suan smiled.
"Yes, although he is in prison and there is no news, but I can be sure now: you really got Zhan En."
Lisheng Talal looked into Thales' eyes and said firmly:
"These secrets—especially matters related to money—can only and will only be told by him himself."
Thales sighed.
OK.
Forget it, I didn't expect to keep it from him for long.
For some reason, he obviously persuaded Du Su'an, and—hopefully—solved the huge debt problem, but Thales couldn't be happier at the moment.
At least...
Could the Emerald City pass this test?
"Dusu'an, you are so talkative, you have traveled thousands of miles to help your brother—maybe the husband and wife of the previous life—" Thales frowned, "Your Kadile Will Assaf allow it?"
Du Su'an's eyes lit up and he was very happy:
"Our Kadir has a big heart."
Thales frowned.
"Then, the 'White Priest' who lives reclusively in Xiri Holy Temple," Thales' tone changed, "will he, or his Quintana, allow it?"
White Priest.
Hearing this name, Du Su'an's face changed slightly.
Seeing the other party's reaction, Thales knew he had asked the right question.
"Or another way of asking: Will 'Tianhui' Talar allow it?"
To Thales' surprise, when the voice fell, Du Su'an suddenly raised his head, his reaction was bigger than when he heard the white priest just now!
"Be careful, Teres Diyeba." At this moment, Lisheng Talal's tone was dangerous, "Don't talk about the affairs of overseas and distant countries."
He emphasized:
"Especially about that one."
Thales' eyelids twitched:
"Which one?"
"Everyone!"
Du Su'an's tone suddenly became cold, repulsive, and no longer friendly.
This made Thales interested.
He thought back to the diplomacy assignment he had done in Gilbert's class.
"After returning to the country from the Northland, I heard a lot of rumors about the Humble dynasty'Tianhui Talar'," Thales carefully observed the other party, "It is said that since the war of succession, Humble Is it because your Qadil Assaf is unwilling to compromise and appoint someone else to be the prime minister?”
Du Suan was silent for a long time.
"It's a rumor," he said softly, "Just listen to it."
Du Suan's tone was normal.
But Thales understood something.
Thales was silent for a few seconds, and raised his eyes solemnly:
"He...is he really that scary?"
He.
The next second, Du Suan's eyes immediately turned to Thales!
Nervous and vigilant, murderous.
Thales was taken aback and quickly raised his hand:
"Well, pretend I didn't ask!"
Dusu'an didn't speak, but just stared at Thales' desk.
Just as the atmosphere was slightly awkward, and Thales was thinking about what to say to end his farewell, Lisheng Talal spoke solemnly.
"My father-in-law is the head of the Godalan family. When he was young, the eldest son heir—that is, my brother-in-law—was skinned by the Azad family for public display."
Skinned for public display.
Thales was taken aback.
You Humble people...
To be precise, Mr. Humble...
"In retaliation, the Guo Dalan family captured and executed Patriarch Azad's younger brother, and dismembered his body slowly."
Thales' eyelids twitched again.
I've heard of fast knives cutting numbness, and random knives cutting corpses, but slow knives...
You Humble people...
Until Du Suan changed the subject:
"However, just two months ago, the heir of the House of Swords and I chatted and laughed happily, and we agreed to be the supervisor of each other's son. His youngest daughter to marry him.”
Laughing and talking...
See you later...
Thales took a few seconds to clarify the logic before and after this, and couldn't help frowning:
"What?"
Du Su'an smiled, but it was very creepy.
"Actually, it's not just Godalan and Azad. For hundreds of years, the seven noble surnames who controlled the dynastic structure and divided up the power of the monarchy have deep hatred for each other, and the resentment is hard to resolve."
He looked into the ethereal distance:
"However, until now, whether it is Godalan and Azad who have blood feuds, Tubal and Meriya who have rebellious creeds, Uhraya and Takambu who have mutually exclusive interests, Still the rigid and stubborn Nephat, but the seven surnames put aside their past grievances and became united as one, like brothers."
Let go of grudges.
As close as brothers?
Thales was puzzled:
"Why?"
Du Su'an looked at him with a sneer:
"Why do you say?"
He spoke slowly, word by word, quite aggressively:
"Tell me, Diyebatels, why should we let go of this mortal and endless feud and stand together again?"
Seeing the other party's extremely solemn expression, Thales was stunned.
"Because of... him?"
Thales asked tentatively.
Du Su'an stared at him for a long time, as if he wanted to see something from Thales.
"Yes, he, because of him, because of this humble background, was fortunate to be promoted and appointed by Kadile, so that there are ordinary people today..."
Lisheng Talal said quietly:
"The seven surnames of Humble's court... Even the chief shepherd shook his head and gave up, determined that they would fight each other to the death, until the "Supreme Beginning" The seven surnames of Humble..."
"Into one."
Looking at the other person's expression, Thales felt a chill down his spine.
I saw Du Su'an turned his head, his eyes dim:
"Tell me, Tianhui Talal, how terrifying is he?"
Du Suan had a calm expression and a normal tone.
But at that moment, Thales read the indescribable fear and panic from his words, from the words of this shrewd and confident Humble dignitary.
It was quiet in the study.
Thales took a deep breath and tried to make the topic easier.
"As far as I know, you, Lisheng Talal, also came from an ordinary family, and you were accepted into Guodalan, the family of Bingdeng with the seven surnames, until you got meritorious service in governing and married a noble daughter."
Du Su'an smiled with a disdainful tone.
"Believe me, compared with 'Tianhui', my ability is as humble as dust."
Tianhui...
Thales chewed on this name.
"So scary?"
Du Suan sneered and shook his head:
"Believe me, he is not only as simple as Xi Ming, but born with precocious wisdom.
"From the beginning of fortune, no matter self-protection, wealth accumulation, promotion, promotion, power, to the current king Bizuo, the false appearance of the dynasty, Tianhui has gone through jealousy and hatred calculations, life and death crises, but she has dealt with it properly with every move. He knows things like a god, and never misses a single step in his errands.
"Many unwise decisions that seemed unimaginable at the time have resulted in huge benefits and rewards later, as if the prophets did not predict, but it seems that he made plans in advance and reaped the benefits.
"In just a few decades, Tianhui Talal has made Kadile obey him, and he is the one who is in charge of everything. , even Kuntana and the famous 'White Priest', faced with his many deviant acts, they also lenient the net and let them do what they want."
Du Su'an took a deep breath, gritted his teeth and repeated with inexplicable emotion:
"Tell me, Tianhui Talal, how terrifying must it be?"
Born precociously...
Forecasting things like a god...
Unknown Prophet...
What you say...
Deviant...
Thales was shocked when he heard it, but he tried his best to behave calmly:
"I remember that the last person with a similar reputation was named 'Natural King'."
Du Suan laughed again, the laughter was very strange.
"I just said that I took the initiative to come to Emerald City—not just for Zhan En."
"So?"
Master Humble looked at Thales:
"At this moment, another Hamble mission in the city is from Lairden City, sent by Diyebadoro—or as you say, Prince Doro. Unfortunately, he is the current Kadi Le's sixth son..."
Du Su'an paused for a moment:
"And the students of Tianhui Talal."
Thales was taken aback.
"By the way, in this year's election, there is a Humble player who was sponsored by him from China," Du Su'an scratched his head, "It seems to be called..."
The prince of Humble, the student of Tianhui Talal, also sent a mission?
Thales hurriedly asked:
"What do you mean? What did Tianhui Talal send him to do? Mess up the Emerald City?"
Du Su'an sneered and shook his head.
"Nothing, but something."
Thales was at a loss.
Until Du Suan narrowed his eyes:
"The truth is: Tianhui pays close attention to you, Thales Canxing. It started long ago when you were still a hostage in the North Kingdom. It's not just ordinary attention... From food, clothing, housing and transportation to temperament and hobbies, from appearance and behavior to past experiences He pays more attention to you than to the ambitious tribes on the Duseri Grassland, the Suye people's vassal policy on the border, the Xiri Temple, the seven surnames, and even Kadile's grievances and grievances—as if he was determined. , among so many things, you are the most special and important one.”
Talar of Tianhui.
Follow... me?
Thales couldn't help being stunned.
Du Su Anzai looked at Thales carefully:
"That's why I want to come, I want to come to the stars in person, I want to see who is the person who can make Tianhui Talal vigilant and fearful, so that he wants to send envoys to contact him in advance."
Thales' mind went blank, and it took him a long time to return to reality.
"I, I don't understand."
The prince shook his head hard:
"Tianhui Talal and I... have never met each other, and have never met."
"I don't understand either."
Du Suan snorted coldly:
"However, it is often said that Tianhui Talal is not a mortal, but an envoy sent by Maharaja Xiri to save believers, or a prophet who was born in the world to enlighten ignorance, so every move has a deep meaning."
Talal from Congzhong City looked at Thales, with a deep meaning in his words:
"Maybe, to him, you are not just a foreign politician from the other side of the sea?"
Du Suan changed the subject:
"Is it a life and death enemy destined to face?"
Thales' eyebrows twitched.
What?
What do you mean?
Tianhui Talal...
And me?
The next second, Du Suan burst out laughing.
"Okay, I won't scare you anymore," he waved his hands again and again to express his apology, "Don't worry, before he completely controls the whole of Humble and stretches his claws across the Sea of Ending, we are still in the way."
"Well, thank you so much."
Thales was still in astonishment, he was preoccupied and answered casually.
"But I'm curious about one thing," Du Su'an changed the subject, "How did you persuade Zhan En to give in?"
Thales took a deep breath and tried to return to the present moment.
"As you said, torture to extract a confession."
Du Su'an seemed unable to see that he was perfunctory, and shook his head earnestly:
"No, I know Zhan En, that would only be counterproductive. This guy seems to be gentle, but in fact... If you want to make him submit..."
Speaking of which, Humble's eyes moved
"Wait, you're not going to threaten him with his sister?"
Thales was shocked, and the expression on his face slowed down.
Du Su'an accurately captured the inappropriateness of this moment.
However, he did not realize the pride and joy of the truth, but slowly opened his eyes wide, surprised and shocked:
"Xi Ri, Maharaja, you...really? His sister? That's why he compromised?"
Thales was taken aback, and quickly adjusted his mood to ask:
"No, of course I didn't, threatening this kind of thing with the weakness of family affection...Why do you ask?"
Du Suan's expression remained unchanged, and he still looked at Thales in disbelief.
"Run."
"What?" Thales didn't react for a moment.
"Run, Thales, my lovely little Diyeba."
The next second, the Humble man seemed to understand something, he didn't care about the flaws in the title:
"Run."
"I don't understand—"
"Run as far as you can!"
At this moment, Du Su'an was so serious that Thales was stunned:
"Even if you run up the Mountain of Sighs, into Duseri, across the Ancient Land of Flame Sea, to Suye, to Misang, to the Indeterminate Ocean beyond the Seven Seas!"
Lisheng Talal gritted his teeth:
"Before Zhan En finally makes a move...to kill you completely."

【Supplementary information】
Some historical documents (excerpts) about the alliance between the Hanbul Dynasty and the Suye Kingdom to launch the Second Continental War:
On the other side of the far sea, there are Taixi Hu thieves, one is called Xinghu, and the other is called Xuelu...
After the tyrant, the false emperor passed on the poison, drank blood from hair, picked grass for clothing, lived in a humble place, had few soldiers... pretended to be a star, compared himself to a kingdom, used the system to usurp, and repeatedly violated the power of heaven... Violence, the king is not The ministers, hide the filth, the people have no shame, humble and dirty, the country is exhausted, the rituals are abandoned, the sky is not false...
In the past, a battle ended and the building collapsed. I, the ancestor of the Chen family, was in line with the righteous way of heaven and earth, and knew how to choose the divine weapon. Thousands of people are in water and fire, leaders are heroes, and hundreds of nations are free from slaves...
The world is established, Feng Zu is the most virtuous, forgive the evil son of the false emperor Toshi Mengde, Suye Huairen, righteously explain the evil Naishi Karu, the leader of the northern captives... and Xu Jianguo, to support the people, replace the king, Mushou, and rank among the princes ... The two gentlemen Tuo Nai thought of the greatness of the king's kindness, and they were all moved to tears. They kowtowed to the prime minister, made an oath to God, and inscribed the forgiveness of continuing their lives without killing, and the reward of repaying their kindness to pass on from generation to generation. ...
It's a pity that his sons and heirs are stubborn, and they didn't wholeheartedly guard the country and repent with their hearts to redeem their past sins... Wolves are born to do evil, evil and secluded make harm, and the disaster is far-reaching... I have heard it all the time, and I sigh and hate it Old friendship, wishing to be self-respecting...but intensified, not recognizing the old evils of the false emperor; self-willing to degenerate, not thinking about introspection; ignorant and innocent, not thinking about the old kindness of the ancestors; arrogant and arrogant, refusing to accept the tribute of Suye... ...The tyrannical and innocent, the evil of the evil, and the evil of today's Xinghu, the harm of the Xuelu... The evil is so great that although the Guanshan Mountains are thousands of miles apart, the harm is so deep that the sky is high and the sea is wide and cannot be tolerated...
Suye is orthodox, the world is co-lord, the artifact is in place, the four barbarians are salty, Vega is added to overseas, and all nations come to court... The Xiongzhong Plain used to shepherd the world, living in Taixuan and ordering the nations...
Here is the king of Dahan, Kahandil, whose ancestor was named Ama, who righteously conquered the tyrant from the ancestor of Feng. It has been passed down for a hundred years to exempt ministers and tribute, not to be a feudal vassal...
The grandson of the fifth Ama Khan is currently in power, living in a remote place, being a barbarian, ignorant of the king's authority, and committing small crimes frequently... My court is open-minded and open-minded, and does not care about small faults... If the king's master is angry , even though they must be punished, millions of heroes will march, and all the thieves will be crushed! How can there be any luck for the people of the other dynasty... Weigu Yuji has a gentle temperament, a gentle national policy, and a gentle and nurturing world... Nian Han's crimes against the border are actually because of embarrassment, but the people are innocent and can't bear to be burned. Forgive Kahandil's childish son Ignorant, so I keep a low profile and don't say anything, I give money and silk to save the other's troubles, let go of his faults, repay his grievances with virtue, and feel his heart...
The whole Han Kingdom Mu En received the gift, recalled the old things of Feng Zu, and then suddenly came to his senses. Admire my civilization, be sincere to me, be honest and honest...you are not stingy, give ten thousand gold every year, donate territory generously, and donate silk, food and horses without counting, with the love of a king and a father licking a calf and feeding a young, you should be admired by Han Guo's children The meaning of admiration is to make an appointment with the country and the country to be united forever, to show the virtue of ruling the world together...
Today, the envoys of the Kingdom of Han were humiliated by Xinghu Xuelu, and insulted by Taixi in the far sea...Khan was angry and sick, and the people were terrified. Hearing this, his hands and feet were cut, his body felt the pain, his fingers connected to his heart, and his tears stained his lapel... Han was in trouble at home and abroad, and he asked for soldiers and horses in Taixuan, and he was dying in Kahan, begging the king's teacher to leave the holy capital...
Although the orphan is unworthy, he never forgets the teachings of Feng Zu: defending the public and protecting the way, never resigning from the great responsibility, helping the dangerous and the needy, how can you hesitate? Punish **** and eliminate violence, which is better for me... If you want justice for your brothers, you don't regret your life... Then you send out righteous men, gather loyal and good people, gather kings, hold the road, and help brothers and feet...
Open your eyes for the world, why is it invincible? What can you do to defeat thieves with the kingly way? Gathering thousands of people to beg captives, nothing can be done... Crossing the mountains and crossing the sea, destroying Xinghu, the extremely evil snow captives to the barbarians, overcoming the thorns and thorns, eradicating the blood of the false emperor and the barbarian legacy...Suppressing the world with righteousness, and returning the universe to peace...The destiny For me, there is no way to kill!
Fourteen prefectures and Siyi vassals were sent out at Suye, and the salty envoys knew well that the festivals of each prefecture followed the king's order, stopped the war and withdrew the troops, and went to the national war together.
If there is anyone who does not follow, Fengzu Lingjian, the world will strike together!
