MTL - Please Sink In Happiness-Chapter 55
"Wait, don't come in yet, I guess you are probably Ivy?" Prince Louis's frivolous voice came from the door, "Is it because the little toothpick of that oriental man can't satisfy your big water tank, that's why you want to come here. Me? If that's the case, then come over and spend the Spring Festival dinner with this uncle, hahaha."
Li Ergou listened to Prince Louis's offensive words calmly, but he didn't feel angry at all.
Perhaps, this is the proof that I don't love Ivy.
"How about picking your teeth with my toothpick?"
Hearing the voice from outside the door was Li Ergou, the room was quiet for a moment:
"Oh, it turned out to be Prince Li from the East. It was really disrespectful just now. What? You came to me now, are you trying to sympathize with me, a loser, with a high profile?"
"Where, I just remember that when I was in the slave arena, I was very close to Prince Louis. If I want to meet you, I should be a friend."
"Make a friend? Make friends with a waste like me? Don't joke, I think you want to convince me to unilaterally break off the engagement with Ivy?" Prince Louis's impatient voice came from the room, "I said, You applaud for love tonight, and I will naturally dissolve the engagement and offer my heartfelt blessings for your love, otherwise I won't talk about it."
"What's in it for you?"
"It's no good, I'm just having fun."
The bedroom door was pushed open, but Prince Louis still looked disheveled. His azure blue eyes shone with cunning and evil brilliance, and his skin was an unhealthy pale white, reminiscent of the corpse of a dead man. There are still traces of being beaten by the whip just now, but at this time he seems to be no longer in pain, and there is a sinister smile on the corner of his mouth.
"You all get out of my way, I want to catch up with this half-brother Dongfang!"
After hearing Louis's words, the surrounding maids and attendants bowed and left.
"Let's go, Brother Li, do you have anything to talk about in the house? Or do you think my house is dirty and refuse to come in?"
Li Ergou walked into the prince's room generously, and looked at Prince Louis's room. His room was covered with posters of girls with heavy makeup, and there were still indescribable traces on them. It can be imagined that Prince Louis usually How energetic.
"A room of this level deserves to be called dirty? Prince Louis, you look down on me too much."
In the past, after his sister died, Li Ergou gave up on himself. The room was far dirtier than Prince Louis's room. During that time, he spent his days on alcohol. The empty bottle was filled with the smell of fermented wine that he hadn't finished drinking for more than a month. The kitchen waste left on the box attracted all kinds of insects that could not be named. Compared with Prince Louis's room, it was qualified to be called dirty.
Prince Louis's room looked filthy, but it wasn't despairing.
Even, hidden under despair, is his hope for the future.
"I didn't expect it," Prince Louis squinted and smiled, and said first, "I didn't expect that the slave who was in the slave arena would turn out to be the prince of the East. This is simply more exciting than the novel."
"Prince Louis, break the engagement with Ivy." Li Ergou said straight to the point.
"I refuse, unless you marry that stinky woman Ivy, how about it? Although it's a bargain, it's definitely comfortable enough to use, especially those thighs in black silk look so sassy. To tell the truth, I It's all a little itchy."
Prince Louis's malicious laughter was reminiscent of goblins, as if there was only pure malice in his world.
"Ivy is indeed a beautiful woman." Li Ergou said quietly, "There is a saying in the east, a lady is a gentleman."
"Then what are you waiting for? Why don't you stab her to pieces with your toothpick?" Prince Louis laughed indulgently, "Or are you a virgin? If you are a virgin, that's a shame, hahaha."
"You don't have to pretend to be confused, brother."
"What are you talking about, I don't understand."
"I don't like Ivy at all, how could I possibly marry her?"
His black eyes flashed with coldness.
"Don't pretend?"
"It's been seen through, and it's just self-inflicted humiliation by pretending to be."
"However, Ivy seems to like you very much. I can't get it wrong. To put it in simple words, she misses you."
"Maybe, but I really don't like her." Li Ergou said helplessly.
"That's why I want to see that scene, the script of your love and grace is too boring, and the scenes of men coercing women are already a bit boring, so today I I want to see how an upright tough guy is being held down by a woman she doesn't like. Hey, tough guy, can you tell me how you're feeling now?" Prince Louis leaned over and posed asked with a sullen expression.
"very bad."
"Bad? You can say it's terrible to be able to spend a spring night with such a beautiful woman?"
"Of course it's bad, I think you should feel deeply about this, right?" Li Ergou's eyes became sharp, like eagle eyes penetrating people's hearts.
"What are you talking about? Why can't I understand it at all?"
"It's no use pretending to be stupid. Your first time was given to a bar girl you didn't know before. You also spent fifty gold coins for this."
"It was voluntary by Lao Tzu. The taste of a woman is like a drug. Once you taste it, you can't get rid of it again."
Prince Louis put on a deeply intoxicated look, but Li Ergou knew it was just his disguise.
"I don't think you are voluntary. It's not so much voluntary, it's better to say that when a lizard encounters a crisis, it cuts off its tail to escape. What the lizard cuts off is the tail, and what you cut off is happiness. If not, you Will die from 'food poisoning' like your mother did."
Li Ergou deliberately lowered his voice and said in a voice that only Prince Louis could hear.
Apparently, he did this in order not to let the "ears" outside the door hear.
"Ah, yes, dying from food poisoning like my mother is a good way to die, and then what? Are you trying to make fun of me? In order to gain freedom, escape from a marriage arranged by the family and have to The far east fled to this land, but was finally caught by the soldiers of Shengluer Kingdom, this is truly a legendary life, Your Highness Li Zijin."
Prince Louis shouted without hesitation, as if he was afraid that the maids and attendants outside the door would not hear:
"Someone wants my life, so come and take it! Whatever Machiavelli, whatever Forrenzo, one of the careerists counts as one, and when I get the upper hand, I have to overthrow them!"
Chapter 61 Successful Negotiations
The prince's high-pitched voice sounded so ambitious, but it was a pity that he was not well-dressed, and he did not have the courage that an ambitious person should have.
"Aren't you afraid that the outside ears will transmit your words to Duke Machiavelli's ears?" Li Ergou asked.
Prince Louis shook his head, a disdainful smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and said in an uncharacteristically serious tone:
"It doesn't matter anymore, the dice have been rolled, and the storm will come when my half-dead father dies."
"I can be your ally as long as you agree to divorce Ivy without involving me."
"You value your chastity that much?" Prince Louis sneered.
"I have a woman I love."
"That would be your weakness."
"No, that will become my inverse scale." The black pupils exuded a strange light, "You, Louis X. Elba, are not the scumbags people call them. I can see this clearly. To live so recklessly in a court requires wisdom that Ivy can't imagine now, and in my opinion, you are far more than Ivy."
Hearing Li Ergou's words, a faint smile appeared on Prince Louis' mouth.
He has always endured humiliation and humiliated himself as a clown singing a monologue that no one can understand, but this man could tear his mask so easily.
He smiled, just like Li Ergou in the slave arena at that time, when there is an audience who really understands you, for a person who is carrying a load, it is worth a thousand words.
"At that time, you were on the stage of the slave arena, and I watched you perform in the audience. Now, why am I not fighting those monsters that are several times more terrifying in the slave arena?"
"The difference is that with you, it is a war without gunpowder smoke." Li Ergou said.
Prince Louis knew that in front of this man, his mask had already been pierced, and Ivy was still so contemptuous in his eyes, which showed that the man did not tell Ivy that he was pretending to be crazy and foolish.
In other words, this prince named Li Zijin may not love or be loyal to Ivy in his heart.
"No, you're wrong about one thing, maybe this is a war of gunpowder smoke, but it's not necessarily true."
After saying that, Prince Louis stretched his palm to the bottom of the bed, and then took out a silver-white pistol with exquisite workmanship and engraved iris pattern. The pistol was a large-caliber pistol that looked a bit like a desert eagle.
However, the level of technological development in this world is far from that of the Desert Eagle pistol. At present, the technological development level of the countries in the Western Continent is only at the level of just transporting supplies with steam locomotives. That is to say, the pistol that Prince Louis took out is probably Magic props, and what Prince Louis said next was not what Li Ergou expected.
"I advise you not to try to resist, you can't dodge my bullets, each bullet here cost me 100,000 gold coins, enough to set off a tracking explosion that a forty-level magician did his best to use. Magic, my ammo is enough to destroy half of Fenglu City."
When he picked up the pistol, Prince Louis showed a confident smile, even though the whip marks made him look a little embarrassed, but at this time, he was like a king who dominated the world.
However, pistols are not the trump card he relies on to turn the tables, and even this is not even a trump card. This gun and bullets add up to a pistol with a total of 10 million gold coins, and the combined purchasing power is only about 100 million yuan. For a man who secretly manipulates the rates of major currencies in the Western Continent, wealth of this level is nothing more than a delicate toy.
"Say, why do you want to form an alliance with me? We are all adults. You should know that in the adult world, there is no mutual trust, only intrigue, right?"
Being pointed at by the gun, Li Ergou stared at Prince Louis, and couldn't help but want to laugh.
"Well, to be honest, not only do I not love Ivy, I even want to get out of her hands one day, but in my current situation, I don't have my power, and what Ivy has given me , it's just a verbal promise, if one day when I finish my contract with her, she won't let me go, then I will lose the freedom of life. So I need an ally, and someone like you is undoubtedly The best candidate."
"But even if you know that I'm working hard, why did you choose me? What do you know about me?"
Immediately afterwards, Li Ergou said:
"Because I know you're a liar, your financial fraud has won you an inexhaustible fortune, and I know you've created it in a rather disgraceful way, using the name not Prince Louis, but Cain Baron. Today, everyone sees a land that looks like a frontier, but you have created a financial empire without frontiers, whether it is the bankers of the North Sea Parliament, the auction house of the Fars Federal State, or even the empire of the Azure Empire. The railway company and the Meifu scrolls issued by the Kingdom of Shengluer are inextricably linked with you. You have no martial arts, no magic, but you can become the world's powerhouse with money. You are really amazing. fraud."
"Dude, this is just a conspiracy theory circulating in the world. I do have some skills, but I am definitely not a liar. I can only be regarded as a performance artist who studies deception."
Prince Louis's eyes narrowed slightly, as if they were at peace.
But his hand was already on the trigger just waiting to be pulled.
A man who knows so many secrets of himself, living will only be a hindrance.
Seemingly aware of what Prince Louis was thinking, Li Ergou said:
"I will not be your hindrance. As you said, the dice have been rolled, and in the coming storm, I will be your friend worthy of trusting your back."
Prince Louis finally withdrew the silver-white pistol. If he fired a bullet rashly and caused a gunshot, it would inevitably cause Machiavelli's rebound.
He can't shoot.
However, from looking at Li Ergou's calm expression when he pointed a pistol at Li Ergou just now, Prince Louis actually admired him.
"Okay, I won't force you to have a relationship with Ivy again. At the same time, tomorrow morning I will also write a document to terminate the engagement, but as a man who has been in the wind and moon all the year round, I can remind you, Ivy seems to really like you, and you must know the nature of that woman, she is the kind of woman who will do anything to get what she wants."
"Thank you, I still know that."
Li Ergou bowed slightly and smiled.
"Yeah, you know too much, so much that I almost pulled the trigger just now." Prince Louis took back the silver-white pistol and hid it under the bed in the room, "Okay, your goal has been achieved. , please come back. If you have time, let's go to the Big Bird Zhuanzhuanzhuan for a drink, man."
Chapter 62 The answer you want to seek
At 8 o'clock in the evening, it was raining continuously outside the window. Tonight, the prince was still so "sleepless and forgetful". He endured the scars from the whip and left the palace. According to the reports of the knights to the king, the prince went back to his favorite place. The pub I went to.
King Louis XIII, holding a knife and fork, looked at the delicacies on the plate, but he had no appetite at all.
The former prince was also his pride. The clever little boy not only respected himself, but also deeply loved his mother, but now he...
"Although he's a bastard, perhaps the greater responsibility lies with me."
"Uncle King, you seem a little tired, are you okay?"
"Thank you, little Demi, I'm fine."
The king's eyes are like that of a kind father, Demi is the granddaughter of the chief magician of the court, and she has great potential and is the future of the country.
Xia Leina's father used to be the number one swordsman in the Western Continent, and now she has also inherited her father's mantle and has become a swordsman who can be alone.
And Ivy, this amazing girl is a maiden with lion-like ambitions, and maybe one day he will take her place as the new queen, but that day the king thinks he probably won't see it anymore.
"Perhaps the continuation of the family is more important." King Louis XIII put down the knife and fork in his hand and looked at Ivy and his party calmly, "Ivy, you are a sharp-edged girl, this is for you. , it's not a good thing. But fortunately, I feel that it doesn't matter now, even if ten years later, the ruler of this country is no longer the Elba family, it doesn't matter, I'm old now, and I have no energy to struggle anymore On that day, I hope that the person who rules the Kingdom of Shengluer is a wise monarch, and I hope that the monarch can protect the Kingdom of Shengluer from foreign aggression and treat the people of the country kindly."
"Your Majesty, even if I break the engagement with the prince, I will not give up on him. I will assist him until he becomes a wise king."
"Oh, is it? Cough..." The king coughed, his jet-black face seemed to have accumulated quite a lot of toxins, "Forget it, just take it as your promise to the dying old man, I hope you can Keep your promise, but even if you don't keep your promise, I can't see it."
"Father…"
"No, I'm no longer your father. What this country needs is not a frail and dying man. What this country needs is a new life. If I can see his prodigal son come back before I die, I can feel at ease even if I die. ."
In his heart, the king still hopes that his son will inherit everything from him. Even if he is a bastard, he still hopes that he can return to the ambitious prince of the past.
This is what the king of the few days longs to see most.
With the sound of a heavier cough, the king finally couldn't swallow a single mouthful of food. Now he can't eat anything other than two or three slices of bread and an egg every day, even if he is forced into it, It will eventually spit out.
"Your Majesty, let me help you back to your room."
"No, Ivy. You are now the fiancee of Prince Li of the Eastern Continent Empire. You must always pay attention to your decency."
The king politely declined Ivy, then stood up staggeringly.
"Furthermore, lions should also die in the same way as lions. It is my shame to die with mercy."
The lion, who once led the soldiers over the mountains and mountains and walked more than 80 kilometers in two days in a hurry, is now unable to even reach the distance from the restaurant to the room. Bean-sized sweat stains the carpet, and his heavy breathing is like Carry heavy loads.
"For many years, the sword has not been wiped, my deceased wife, I'm sorry for you, I'm sorry for our son, Louis the Great, I'm sorry for this country..."
The servants tried to help, but the king pushed them away.
"I'm not weak enough to need support!"
Looking at the back of Louis XIII, Miss Ivy's eyes looked extremely sad.
"He is a hero. He once charged into battle with a long sword at sea and on land. He never hides behind the army, but stands at the forefront to fight with the enemy..."
"It is indeed admirable for a king to stand on the front line to command operations. In fact, the combat effectiveness of the army led by the king himself is often invincible, but this is also a risk. Once he dies in battle, it will be a great blow to the entire kingdom of Shengluer. Fortunately, he didn't die in battle, so he was hailed as a hero, otherwise he would be a fool."
