Travels to the Holy Light Continent

I heard this and asked, "Grandpa, didn't you come here to persuade me?"

"Advise you? Advise you what? Give the goose that lays golden eggs to others? I'm not stupid! Child, remember, although sometimes jewelry is worth fighting for, the prerequisite is that you have the ability to protect it, otherwise even if you own it, it will be taken away by others!" said the grandfather.

"I understand, Grandpa! What does His Majesty say?" I asked.

"What? He didn't tell me he wanted it. If he wants it one day, just issue an order, and then I will think about it carefully!" said Grandpa.

"Yeah! I understand!"

The next day, I accompanied my father to court.

"Your Majesty, I, Xuanyuan Qingyun, kowtow to you. May your Majesty's military fortunes flourish forever!"

"Stand up! Xuanyuan Qingyun, the foundation you set up in Plato is very successful and has helped my Great Qin solve many problems, but..."

"Your Majesty believes that these poor families are ultimately the responsibility of the Great Qin State, so Your Majesty still wants to take responsibility himself," said Murakami Motoyasu.

"It is a blessing for our Great Qin that Your Majesty can think of these meritorious people. However, now those people are all useful people for Plato. Therefore, if Your Majesty wishes to take responsibility, you can ask Lord Murakami to find a new piece of land for the Great Qin to take in, and I, Plato, will no longer accept it. Of course, if Your Majesty is unable to do so in the future, I, Plato, can still help!" I said with a smile.

Murakami Motoyasu was speechless because of me. Under normal circumstances, as a subordinate, I should have volunteered to hand over Plato, but now I was playing dumb and there was nothing they could do. After all, he had just praised me for doing a good job. Could I tell the world that he was coveting the wealth of my territory?

"Ahem! Let's leave this matter to Lord Murakami, but before that, everything should remain the same!" The queen took the initiative to break the awkwardness.

"Well, okay!" His Majesty said helplessly.

"Your Majesty, next month is the Pope's 100th birthday. His Holiness the Pope has sent a letter saying that he hopes Your Majesty can go to congratulate him!" said Archbishop Murakami.

"Oh, of course. It is my blessing to be able to celebrate the birthday of His Holiness the Pope. Whose turn is it this time? Lord Murakami." His Majesty asked.

"Your Majesty, it's the Xuanyuan family's turn now!"

I whispered to my father, "Dad, what's our turn?"

According to normal procedures, emperors of various countries would go to the Vatican to congratulate the Pope on his birthday every year, and during this month, countries would compete against each other as a unit to demonstrate their military strength.

"So it's our turn this year?"

"Well, last year it was the Murakami family."

"Xuanyuan Qingyun!" said His Majesty.

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

"I heard that you are also building an army in Plato. It's a good opportunity to see their strength this time. If it doesn't work, I think you should let the Murakami family take care of Plato!" His Majesty said slowly.

"I will sacrifice my life for your majesty!"

When I got home, I was furious. My grandfather saw how furious I was and asked my father what had happened.

"Haha, there's nothing to be angry about. It's your fault that you made so much money in the auction in one day. He was just greedy at the moment. Don't worry, I will ask your father to bring 5,000 Qinglong Iron Cavalry to help you. I will not let you spend all our family fortune!" Grandpa said with a smile.

"This is not what I am most angry about. What makes me most angry is this kind of senseless casualties, just for the sake of fun!"

"This is not just for fun!" said Grandpa.

"Oh? Is there any other explanation here?"

"Remember what I told you last night?"

"strength?"

"Yes! If they perform too weakly in the duel, other countries are likely to attack this country in the future, so their death is not just for fun!"
