Son of the Tower

Chapter 233 Choice
In some eras, wind and clouds can be used as an adjective, but that is mostly the position and name given to them by later generations.

But at that time, people didn't feel, or would not recognize the turbulence and magnificence of the times, just like people from the Four Islands. Five days later, the body of the little majesty was discovered from the underground waterway in Kyoto. Soak beyond recognition.

Even the stupidest commentator has to admit that a civil war in the four islands is on the verge of breaking out.And the princes, legends, ministers and nobles from all walks of life are already in place at this time, and they are waiting for the final choice of a prince.

Masaki Ishikawa’s choice is very important at this moment—his fief is on Awaji Island and controls the inland sea of ​​the four islands. If Prince Ishikawa chooses the Royalist Party, then King Qin’s army can use the Awaji Island naval base he controls as a springboard to attack Those traitors.

If he chooses the Revolutionary Party, then the army of the Revolutionary Party will be able to counterattack the big island of the Four Kingdoms. As long as this big island can be captured, the former royalists who are going against the tide will only be swept into the dustbin of history.

Both parties gave Prince Ishikawa three days, and at 10:[-] tonight, the three-day deadline was only [-] minutes away. Considering the importance of the matter, the high-ranking gentlemen in southern Thailand opened a global live broadcast for Prince Ishikawa. The press conference will be held at six o'clock.

Tsubaki calmed down at this time, which made Mars take another high look at this girl—in any case, Tsubaki's father's choice had nothing to do with her.

As for the choice of Lord Prince, Mars couldn't figure it out. After all, there were friends of his in both camps—the guys who recruited him before were really old friends of Prince Ishikawa.

"How do you think Tsubaki's father will choose?"

On the training ground, Nie, standing next to Mars, asked Mars while watching the first-year boys train.

Mars didn't need to think about it: "There is a high probability that the royal party, he has received the favor of the previous emperor, and became the latest prince to receive Awaji Island. If he chooses the royal party status, even many members of the revolutionary party will not feel it. Accident."

Mars is indeed unable to judge Prince Ishikawa's choice, but such a choice is the safest choice, and it is also the route that Mars thinks Prince Ishikawa will choose.

At least, this is what Tsubaki said a careerist should do.

It's dinner time, and the four islanders are not doing well today. The original king's party split overnight, and the two sides attacked each other. They didn't even have time to trouble the northernist four islanders. The so-called heretics are more hateful than heretics. This is the truth.

So Mars put their four island cubs into three cafeterias respectively.

Tsubaki followed Mars to eat at Wangdang's cafeteria today. As soon as he entered the door, he saw the youngsters in the Shishima district crying together. When he asked, the minister of the Tokushima prefecture on Awaji Oshima had betrayed him. , if Prince Ishikawa does not choose the Revolutionary Party, then he is an unlucky guy who is suffering from the enemy.

You see, what is drastic.

Your Highness Chun, I am afraid that we will face each other in the future.

A house elf said in front of Tsubaki with a sad face.

Mars knew him, he was a little guy named Nan Zhiqiu, and it seemed that his father was a royal party.

"...No, Mr. Zhiqiu, we will definitely not fight each other."

While the two were talking, Mars pointed to the big screen—this was specially prepared for the children of the four islands.

It was six o'clock, and Prince Ishikawa had just entered the stage. Thousands of reporters in the audience were waiting for the last prince of the four islands who hadn't indicated his side to reveal his choice to the land.

The entire cafeteria was silent, whether it was the children from the Four Islands who were waiting for the answer, the kids from the peninsula who were watching the fun, or the kids from southern Thailand who were eating melons, they were all waiting.

………………

Ishikawa Masaki is standing behind the scenes. He has not shaved his beard for the past week, so he is not tidy at all. He is no longer young. He has received many invitations in recent days. Some invited him to join the Revolutionary Party, and some invited him to take charge The banner of righteousness of the royal party, and some people asked him to choose political asylum in southern Thailand.

How could they understand my thoughts?

Ishikawa Masaki was a little dazed, because he felt that all of this was so unreal, so false that he couldn't believe it.

Half a month ago, he had seen that child. He was a gentle and polite little guy, completely different from his tyrannical father. For a moment, Ishikawa Masaki thought that this child understands the thinking of capitalists and knows The suffering of the working people, maybe... maybe this child can become a bond of mutual understanding for all people on the four islands.

But the capitalists told Ishikawa Masaki, don't think too much, this world doesn't need Mr. Nice, we are the masters of the future.

Zhengqi, what would you choose?

In the background, the sage Yu of the tower, Ishikawa Masaki's early mentor asked himself this question.

Yes, how should I choose, or in other words, how else can I choose.

All this of mine was given by the old man, although he was a tyrannical king, but this old man entrusted everything to him.

·I entrusted my two daughters to you, Tsubaki, that kid doesn't understand you, but I understand you, go... maybe it's time to end my dynasty, but at least you will help me keep my blood, Let them not die among the chaos.

The old man keenly sensed the coming of danger. The country of Four Islands had to be changed, but as an emperor, he couldn't make any changes, because his royal family was not only attached to their family—because of this area. Too many people in the kingdom depend on them to live.

But even if this is the case, even if Northernism does not have enough power, there will still be some people who feel that the royal family is blocking their future.

Big businessmen and big capital, like the royal family, have been completely alienated, and what they represent is no longer an individual, but a group's desire and pursuit of profit.

I'm sorry, Master Qiuyi, your four islands have no future.

Thinking of it, Ishikawa Masaki was patted on the shoulder, he turned his head and saw his senior brother Gao Xiaotian.

"Zhengqi, go up, no matter what you choose, we all understand that you have tried your best, and the civil war on the four islands is inevitable."

After the orc brother finished speaking, he gave Masaki Ishikawa a hug.

This moved Ishikawa Masaki very much—the senior brother always takes care of himself like this.

"I'm up."

After speaking, Ishikawa Masaki walked onto the stage, and the host from southern Thailand handed over the initiative to the prince in front of him in silence.

Looking at the audience, Ishikawa Masaki took out a medal from his pocket and pinned it to his chest.

Everyone says that people go to high places and water flows to low places.

But being a human being... after all, you still can't forget your roots.
