Xiao Letian was very unaccustomed to Ikram's leaping thinking. He was still discussing serious military and state affairs, so why did he suddenly jump to getting married?
It's not that Ikram is not good-looking. Although she always has a veil covering her face, the white gauze used by this kind of noble lady is very transparent, and you can basically see the facial features below.
Ikram is a very beautiful girl, especially Central Asian girls, who are very beautiful and healthy, which is more in line with Xiao Letian's aesthetic views in his previous life.
In today's Qing Dynasty society, men prefer women's morbid beauty, small feet, fragile breasts, and small breasts, known as pigeon breasts. In their eyes, such women are the most beautiful.
But Xiao Letian, who has been baptized by the new ideas of the 21st century, still likes sunny, healthy and energetic women. The hot and healthy ones on the beach in Hawaii are his favorite.
Neither Huniu nor Fuhui actually conformed to the mainstream aesthetics of the Qing Dynasty society at that time, but they couldn't resist Xiao Letian's liking, and even a thousand dollars could not buy them! That's the truth.
And now Ikram is even more healthy and sunny. He has a figure that would make him a supermodel in the 21st century, and he has the figure of a Hollywood star. It would be a lie to say he doesn't like it.
But I like it, Xiao Letian is not a nymphomaniac, and he has no problem with stuffing it into the harem when he gets it. Even the Grand View Garden, which he has been widely criticized for, was originally given by the Manchus and was not built by him on his own initiative. of.
As a woman, it's enough to just appreciate it. If you think about what's in your crotch every day, what's the difference between you and an animal?
"Well, Miss Ikram, you are joking. My wanting to help you is also a mutually beneficial thing. It is not an attempt on your beauty. I hope you don't think too much."
Ikram's light blue eyes stared at Xiao Letian and said very seriously, "Yes, Your Majesty the Head of State, I also hope you don't think too much, but I am not kidding. With such a large-scale cooperation and such a deep alliance, is it possible?" Don’t you want a hostage?”
"I have realized this a long time ago. If you are willing to help us, I, Ikram, am willing to swear to Allah and be your hostage for the rest of my life!"
"Huh?" Not to mention Xiao Letian exclaimed, even the guards behind him and the adjutants taking notes also exclaimed.
It turns out that he no longer has a crush on the Führer, but that he just wants to be a hostage? This girl's thinking is simply too speechless.
Xiao Letian rubbed his nose in embarrassment, "So you just want to be a hostage? So you're not your real wife? This is really embarrassing, haha, it's a bit embarrassing!"
Ikram did not have the shy and shy character of an Eastern girl at all. She stopped the breast implant and said loudly, "No! I am a real wife. I can give birth to children for you, and I can also fulfill all the obligations of a wife. But I know My identity is that of a hostage in a political marriage, and I will never forget this!"
"Ah? Is this why you fulfill all the obligations of a wife, but in your heart you still position yourself as a hostage? What do you want?" Xiao Letian asked.
The light in Ikram's eyes suddenly dimmed a little. "I don't mean anything, this is my destiny! No matter how I choose, I can't escape the fate of marriage. My birth includes my wealthy life for more than ten years. , in fact, it all comes at a price, I must create more favorable conditions for the family and tribe."
"Even if I am not your hostage, my future is just to marry other tribes and be other people's hostages. This is our way of survival. Every tribe faces many threats. If you are not careful, you will be annexed. Only through various marriage alliances can my family survive for a long time."
"I understand!" Xiao Letian nodded. "Although you are here in the desert, you have always continued the grassland people's law of wolf survival. This is unavoidable in the medieval world."
"Ikram, don't think too low of me. We Chinese are not the kind of people who rely on hostages as collateral to invest our trust. Even without you as a hostage, I will still choose to help you."
"To be honest, I'm not afraid that you will rebel when you become stronger, because you know very well that if I can support one tribe to become stronger, I can also make other tribes stronger. If you understand this, you will not rebel!"
Xiao Letian thought Ikram was moved by his openness, but unexpectedly the woman still shook her head.
"Wrong, I have to be this hostage, because we not only want to gain your trust, we also want to reassure other tribes."
"Actually, this is to reassure ourselves. To be honest, if you don't want me as a hostage, I'm afraid even my brother won't be able to believe your sincerity."
"Because the tribes in the desert never believe in free benefits. If you don't have any conditions, we will think you are a liar."
"More importantly, if we don't even send an important hostage during your cooperation with my brother, then other tribes will not believe in this alliance at all, and they will think that my brother was deceived by sinister people. Got it!"
"When the time comes, let alone absorbing their power, I'm afraid we will gain more and more enemies!"
Xiao Letian immediately figured out the reason for this. It was impossible for Ikram's family to pull out 20,000 young people by their own strength. To pull the lantern, they must have military assistance from the Chinese, and then attract More family allies attached themselves to his command.
If you want to gain the trust of other families, you must make other families believe that the alliance between the Chinese family and the Lantern family is credible and indestructible.
In the minds of those people, if La Deng could sacrifice his sister as a hostage, then such an alliance would be strong and reliable, and this would be an alliance that would not betray.
Only when they were completely reassured would they send the best young men from their tribe over to form a real army, a powerful force in the Egyptian desert.
Xiao Letian slapped his forehead and sighed in his heart, "What a way! Why are there so many and so complicated? Do you really want to force me to marry another wife?"
"No, absolutely not! If I, Xiao Letian, marry a Middle Eastern noble lady with great fanfare, then Europe will immediately guess my strategic intentions, and then they will increase their military strength to suppress the Middle East."
"Damn it, why is it so difficult for me to grab some oil from the Middle East?"
Thinking of this, Xiao Letian smiled and said to Ikram, "Well, how about we think about the problem from another angle? Don't you just want to win the trust of those tribes?"
"You don't have to marry me. How about we find another way to take hostages?"
