There is always a crossing that suits you

"Your Highness." The female officer Irene couldn't control her emotions and burst into tears the moment she heard that His Highness was back, but now she calmed down after seeing His Highness and regained the qualities of a well-trained chief female officer, "Your Highness, welcome come back."

Qiao Mu showed a satisfied look in his eyes, and his smile became more genuine, "It's great to see you safe and sound." He was really worried that the female officer would be secretly eliminated by the enemy while he was away.But now it seems that she has lived up to his training and protected herself very well.

"Thank you, Your Highness, for your concern." Miss Irene smiled brightly, her usually gentle and delicate face became lively and angry, "Your Highness, we miss you very much."

"Ah."

"Your Highness, the former prince of Mitanni came to you just now, and he brought back two soldiers we sent to meet you."

"Marty Wasser?" Qiao Mu frowned, never expecting that the prince who had been subjugated by him would come to him.Doesn't he know that he is being wanted by Xitai?Are you not afraid of killing him yourself? "Did he say what he came to see me for?"

"The lord refused to reveal the purpose of his visit, insisting that he must interview you."

"So...then where is he now?"

"I placed him in the side hall."

"Okay, I'll pack it up first, and you'll bring him to see me later." Qiao Mu is still wearing Ramses's clothes, he doesn't want to meet people so ostentatiously, and besides, the two are about the same size but they don't have their own after all. Comfortable.

"Yes, the bathing utensils are ready."

after an hour……

After tidying up and eating well, Qiao Mu put down the self-made "document paper" in his hand and came to the living room, where he saw the tall and heroic former prince of Mitanni.

"Sai Nasha." The Black Prince of Blood spoke first.

"Marty." Since the other party called him by his first name, Qiao Mu couldn't be too unfamiliar. "After being separated for a long time, your demeanor remains the same."

"When it comes to demeanor, the fourth prince is the most attractive." The black prince meaningfully glanced up and down Qiao Mu, but Qiao Mu was not annoyed at all, he still looked at him generously.

"Do you feel that I am more and more handsome and majestic, and then I was taken by my aura, and decided to join my account." The tone was originally a joke, but it was a bit tentative and profound when Qiao Mu said it.

"I never thought that I, a subjugated person, would be so favored by His Highness."

"Because you are very valuable." What Qiao Mu said was the truth. Even if the convenience brought by the person in front of him is removed from his identity, he alone is worthy of Qiao Mu's spare no effort to win him over, not to mention that he is short of someone who is good at strategy fierce general.Kaxiu is excellent and loyal, but due to his background, his prestige is unmatched among middle and lower soldiers, but the nobles don't buy him very much.In this era when untouchables and nobles did not intermarry, to put it bluntly, those low-level soldiers were no different from livestock in the eyes of the big nobles. What puzzled Qiao Mu the most but had to accept that those low-level soldiers had the same views as nobles. Same.Therefore, Kaxiu's position has almost reached its peak, and it is not appropriate to put it any higher.And the man in front of him, he had been coveting for a long time.Although Martin Vaser lost the country and the throne, as long as he has the blood of the royal family and nobles, he can be distinguished from ordinary civilians and has the most powerful stepping stone to enter the upper class of Western Taiwan.Aristocrats are only the same people as nobles. This era is so barbaric and so helpless.

Thinking of this, Qiao Mu took a closer look at the man in front of him.The tall man with wheat-colored skin didn't have the slightest sense of abjection.It's not about how gorgeous his current clothes are or how exquisite his accessories are, but about his indomitable momentum, as if there is no one else in the world.

Not only did the loss of the crown prince not depress him, on the contrary, he was like a beast that had broken free from its last shackles, a scimitar that had been sharpened to the ground.

"Hmph, then take it as you are praising me." The Black Prince didn't bother with this issue, besides the man's 'Marty' just now made him very comfortable. "Are you injured?" Hei Prince was rarely embarrassed when he asked this question, but he concealed it very well, Qiao Mu didn't notice it at all.

"Anshen blesses me, I am safe and sound." This is not a lie, it is indeed the power of Anshen, otherwise Ramses would have died long ago when he arrived. "Speaking of which, what are you doing this time? Are you not afraid that I will kill you?"

"Would you?" Black Prince smiled nonchalantly, he did have confidence.He is confident in his own value on the one hand, and the person in front of him will stop every time he has a chance to give him a fatal blow. On the other hand, of course the most important thing is that he brought what the other party wanted.

"Well, I won't." Qiao Mu didn't care to admit it, it was strange that the other party didn't feel it, "Then tell me, why are you here?"

"I brought back your subordinates."

"Well, so?"

"Let's just use them as voting certificates."

"You mean...?" Qiao Mu was really surprised this time, he really wanted a strong general like the Black Prince, and he had always done so.But when the other party said it so openly at the moment, he was a little unbelievable.In his plan, he should push the other party to a desperate situation, like Zhuge Liang, "seven captures and seven attacks", and then the black prince bowed to his wit and strategy, and from then on he regarded him as his master... …

"That's right, haven't you been planning on me for a long time?" Prince Hei said [What are you pretending to be].

(＞﹏＜) Even if you know it, don’t just say it like that!

After all, it was thick-skinned, and the purpose was exposed, but his eyes wandered for a moment. Qiao Xiaomu immediately regained his tall appearance, and said coldly, "Although you are a fierce general, you have lost the support of Mitanni. , your personal guards are nothing more than rootless water, if you didn’t have the treasures you brought out from the palace back then, you’d probably be working as bandits by now!”

Marty Vaser was not very angry when he heard the other party say that, after all, what he said was true.Of course, Qiao Mu was wrong about one thing. Even with the treasure of the palace, the black prince and his personal guards, they are still doing sand bandits, a promising career.However, of course the Black Prince would not say anything...

"My own worth is worth your risk. I am the most powerful warrior in the entire Mesopotamia." The Black Prince said with great confidence.

"If I remember correctly, you are still my defeat." Qiao Mu pouted, obviously disdainful of someone's bragging.

"If you want to become the king of Xitai, you won't be able to lead the troops yourself every time."

Qiao Mu's eyes sharpened. So far only his confidants and a few personal guards knew about his plan, but the person in front of him actually said it directly.Could it be that there are traitors among the soldiers he carefully cultivated?

"Don't make that expression, your soldiers are very loyal, and I haven't knocked anything out of their mouths." Seeing Qiao Mu's eyes, the black prince knew what he was imagining, "Believe me, in order to defeat you, I I have spent a lot of time analyzing your behavior and psychology. I may not be able to fully guess your plan, but if I don’t even understand the purpose, I won’t have much fun.”

"..." Even though he knew what the other party was telling the truth, Qiao Mu was still upset, and said through gritted teeth, "If you surrender to me, you and your soldiers must obey me. Whether it's breaking up your soldiers or adding new ones, All obey my will."

"Your soldiers will become the sharp knives in my hands, and the knives will only get duller and duller without new recruits. Are you sure you still have loyalty to me?"

"Trust me, my soldiers and I will not disappoint you in every way." Avoiding the question of allegiance, the Black Prince avoided the important ones.

Qiao Mu naturally knew what the other person was thinking. Although he always felt that there was something in the man's words just now, he was really interested in playing tricks with him on this issue, so he simply said, "Since you know my goal well, you should understand the key point I will not keep any uncertain factors around me. Why do you think I will take you in at a risk?"

"It's not shelter, it's cooperation." The black prince didn't care if people didn't understand, "I will help you win the throne, and you provide shelter for me and my people. Mitanni is now a member of Xitai. Province, but our royal family has been operating there for generations, even if my son is there as an officer, the control is still average.”

"You want to build China? Dreaming!" Qiao Mu frowned and flatly refused. Although he didn't have much sense of belonging to Xitai, it was the place where he had lived for many years. It would be false to say that he had no feelings. He would never allow this person to do it. This divisive thing.

"You misunderstood. What I mean is that if I stay, you can supplement the army I lead with people from Mitanni Province, and you don't have to worry about their betrayal."

"What you said is very good, but all the benefits are based on your loyalty. How can I trust a former enemy?" Qiao Mu narrowed his eyes, he didn't want to work hard to make a wedding dress for others.In case this guy builds up power under his blessing and then crosses the river and demolishes the bridge, who can he turn to for reasoning?

"Aren't you a great priest?" Marty Vaser said, "Then use divine power."

"How do you know that I'm a priest?" Qiao Mu couldn't help being surprised, no more than one person knew his status as a great priest, and this guy in front of him actually knew it too?Is there something wrong with his intelligence system?Secrecy is so poor?

"Anyone with long eyes could see the strong light that day." The black prince's words obviously proved that Qiao Mu was thinking too much, "Mitanni also has priests, although there have been no priests in recent years, but I still know the secret of."

"I am willing to make a life contract and swear loyalty." The black prince taunted Qiao Mu again, seeing that people were about to explode, he immediately gave them a sincere (love) gaze and words.

Qiao Mu looked in disbelief, but anyway, a life contract must be concluded voluntarily by both parties. Now that this person has offered to make that thing, he can't think of a reason to refuse.

The starlight pierced the wrist, and the silver blood flowed out, not missing the amazement that flashed in the eyes of the person in front of him, Qiao Mu raised the corner of his mouth proudly.

"Anshen, my father, please witness. In the name of the stars, I made a contract with Madi Vaser."

"He put his life in my hands and I will give him shelter."

"Will you always be loyal?" Qiao Mu asked.

"Yes, I will always be loyal to you." According to the requirements of the ceremony, Marty Vaser knelt down on one knee and stabbed deeply into the heart with the dagger transformed from the string of the world.

"Then, the contract is established." Putting the blood-stained hand on the black prince's chest, the blood containing divine power mixed with the other's heart.The wound healed, and a four-pointed star of a silver star appeared on the wound on the chest, which was a sign of the establishment of the contract.

Although the ceremony went smoothly, Qiao Mu still felt that it was not real.

It’s too smooth to be trusted (╯‵ ′)╯︵┻━┻

How could the Black Prince give his allegiance so easily?Did he turn on the high-end mode in which the stallion boy flicked and the boys from all over the world came to vote one after another when he was unknown? ? ?

The most important thing is that he is clearly the leading party of the contract, why does he feel that something is wrong...
