However, nothing happened.
Cu Chulainn just cursed with an ugly face: "So I am the only one in the world who knows about this matter?! Damn it!"
Chapter 214 Cu Chulainn’s Request
Fergus knew that Cu Chulainn himself had long believed that he was the child of the God of Light, and he anticipated that perhaps these words would inevitably arouse his suspicion and anger, thinking that he was discrediting him.
But even so, he still chose to reveal the secret that had been in his heart for many years.
He didn't want Conchieber's lies to hurt more people, and for his proud adopted son to recognize a thief as his father.
But the secret that he had been planning for a long time did not get the reaction he imagined.
Fergus looked at the furious Cú Chulainn at a loss. He didn't know why the latter suddenly became so angry.
"What are you..."
Jiang Lu yawned on the side and began to fan the flames: "If you want to be more open-minded, at least you know it earlier than the public."
"What if everyone knows about it?" Cu Chulainn said fiercely: "This will be an unprecedented scandal for the royal family. If irrelevant people really find out, I swear I will kill everyone and silence them!"
"Child." Jiang Lu sighed: "This is not funny."
"I'm not kidding." Cu Chulainn complained.
"Okay." Jiang Lu didn't comment, turned around and asked Fergus: "So are you satisfied now? Conchiebo has been defeated, and there is no need to continue the war. I think everyone You can sit down and have a good talk so that everyone can get a satisfactory result. ”
Hearing this, Cu Chulainn also calmed down and echoed sternly: "Yes, Fergus, peace is the most important thing."
"This... is indeed beyond my expectations."
Fergus glanced at Conchieber with a complicated expression.
He came with the determination of revenge.
With the pain of losing his son and the shame of the destruction of his family, he took the initiative to ask Queen Maeve of the Kingdom of Connaught to lead an army to attack Conchierb.
But he didn't expect that before he even exerted his strength, his enemy would already look like this.
This gave him a feeling of powerlessness as if he had punched cotton.
It's like a person who has carried a blood feud, and after endless suffering and lonely practice, finally gained powerful strength. But when he came out to seek revenge, he found that the world had changed a long time ago, and his former enemies had long since died of old age.
Such an ending could not bring Fergus the pleasure of revenge at all. Even when he saw the miserable condition of Conchieber, the thought "It seems that there is no special feeling seeing him in such misery" appeared in his mind. .
This made him a little confused and filled with an inexplicable sense of loss.
The long-standing goal was accomplished in such a hasty manner, and I felt an indescribable feeling of emptiness in my heart.
“Nobody wants to go to war if they can help it.
It was only because Conchieber's tyranny and tyranny had long angered the surrounding kingdoms, and they all wanted this guy to die, that they united to launch a war.
But now that this is the case, I think they might also stop. "
Fergus looked at Cu Chulainn and said slowly:
"Because of you, your heroic performance on the battlefield has already conquered the warriors of Connacht. They have already regarded it as an honor to fight with you or be killed by you.
Now, let me tell you the truth. In fact, before I came, Queen Maeve gave me a condition as a bottom line, that is, if you no longer resist, she is willing to betroth her daughter to you. I will personally support you to become the king of Ulster, and then the two countries will form a permanent alliance.
It’s just that I know that such conditions are far from enough to make you lose your loyalty to Ulster and Conchieber, nor can it make you give up your determination to fight. It will only anger you more, so I didn’t say anything.
But this is enough to prove how much Queen Maeve values you.
So I think if you are willing to go back with me and meet Queen Maeve as a king, it shouldn't be difficult to restore peace. "
"Me?" Cu Chulainn was stunned: "But I am not the new king."
"Huh?" Fergus was also stunned: "Then who is the new king?"
"My mother."
"Dectel?" Fergus raised his voice unconsciously: "Wasn't she depressed early on?"
"It has been cured a long time ago." Jiang Lu smiled slightly: "With the help of my gynecological expert, there is no disease that cannot be cured. What is depression? It is just that I have not tasted the sweetness of love."
"Hiss..." Fergus's first reaction was to think that Jiang Lu was a doctor: "Wait a minute, come to think of it, who are you? Why do you sound as if Cu Chulainn and Dectel have received a lot of help from you?"
Jiang Lu smiled and said nothing, and winked at Cu Chulainn: "Say."
"Just... someone who is trustworthy..." Cu Chulainn was vague.
"Can you trust him?" Fergus repeated suspiciously. In his opinion, it was not an exaggeration to say that Cu Chulainn obeyed Jiang Lu's words.
"This..." Cu Chulainn looked embarrassed: "How can I explain this..."
"Okay, let me say it then." Jiang Lu sighed: "Actually, I am his stepfather."
"Oh, stepfather, I'm his adoptive father, so it seems like we are destined to be together... Wait, who are you?!" Fergus responded subconsciously and suddenly realized something was wrong.
"Yes." Cu Chulainn was about to burst into tears: "Maybe you don't believe it. In fact, I don't want to believe it either, but he is indeed my stepfather now."
The official certification from Cuchulain made Fergus gasp.
Stepfather!
This is a more advanced existence than the adoptive father!
An adoptive father can only be responsible for raising a child, but a stepfather is a senior father who can not only raise a child, but also be like the child's biological mother!
Its gold content may be only inferior to that of his biological father.
But now, the child's biological father, Conchie Erb, has been killed. In other words, the man in front of him is now the highest-level father!
Even Fergus, the adoptive father who raised Cu Chulainn, had to shy away from his stepfather Jiang Lu and shunned the glory of ethics.
Although he was an adoptive father, the father-son relationship between him and Cu Chulainn was higher than that between him and Conchieber, his biological father who kept his real name secret. This was something he had always been proud of.
But overnight, everything changed.
Fergus is in Connaught, and Jiang Lu is by Cu Chulain's side. Now he has become a more advanced father. As time goes by, the father-son affinity between him and Cu Chulain will inevitably change from the first to the first. Dropped to second place on the list.
How could he endure this?
After pondering for a moment, Fergus thought: "In that case, you are not the king now, so you don't have to worry so much.
I have an idea. In order to ensure that there will be no more wars in the future, I think Queen Maeve’s suggestion is not a bad idea. Maybe you can really marry the Kingdom of Connaught.
An alliance between the two countries will become an unprecedentedly powerful force on the Irish mainland. By then, no one, organization or kingdom will threaten Ulster. "
"This is inappropriate." Cu Chulainn shook his head subconsciously.
"Why is it inappropriate?"
Fergus said sternly:
"If you don't do this, I can guarantee that Connaught will withdraw its troops, but can you guarantee that the other two kingdoms will withdraw their troops?
Can you guarantee that they won't have other thoughts after learning about Conchieber's downfall?
Without Maeve's support, Ulster now needs to lift the curse before it can stop its power again. When the time comes, there will be an invasion by foreign enemies, internal and external troubles, what should you do? "
"It seems... to make some sense..." Cu Chulainn fell into deep thought.
Fergus, who knew his thoughts well, struck while the iron was hot and said, "Think about it, you are deciding the future of Ulster. Any hasty decision you make may lead Ulster to prosperity, but it may also lead to Ulster's ruin. Are you really willing to take the risk and put the people in danger with your hasty decision?"
"Of course not." Cu Chulainn answered seriously.
But he was led by Fergus, but Jiang Lu saw the clues.
I always feel like this guy is eager to take Cu Chulainn away...
Just now he was acting like he knew me and he would never insult me with Maeve's sugar-coated bullets and honey traps, but now he's anxious to make a marriage happen...
What went wrong...
It seems that his attitude changed when he found out that I was his stepfather...
But why?
Jiang Lu suddenly thought of something and had a strange look on his face.
Hmm... Could it be that he wants to prove that he is more important to Cu Chulainn than I am by arranging Cu Chulainn's life events?
No way... not really...
But what Fergus said next confirmed Jiang Lu's suspicion that he even thought was outrageous.
"If everything goes well, I will help you organize your wedding in Connaught. Then I will invite your relatives and friends to watch the ceremony. You don't have to worry about anything."
"Hiss..." Jiang Lu also took a breath of cold air.
oh! This damn desire to win!
Cu Chulainn, who was not aware of this secret contest, looked at Jiang Lu: "Is this appropriate? Do I have to discuss it with my mother?"
"If I say it's suitable, it must be suitable." Fergus said disdainfully: "And what are you asking him to do? You are such an old man, can't you even decide your own marriage?"
Hearing these gunpowder words, no matter how dull Cu Chulainn was, he felt that something was wrong, but he still didn't understand why it was like this.
This inexplicable and abstract situation made Jiang Lu feel a little funny.
Jiang Lu suppressed his smile and echoed: "Yes, you can decide for yourself, and your mother is still resting now. After all, she has experienced so many big things and is already exhausted, so you can just decide for yourself."
Fergus was slightly surprised by this non-competition, but he still stubbornly nodded gently to Jiang Lu, as if he recognized his understanding.
And Cu Chulainn may also realize that the current atmosphere is actually very strange.
If you think about it carefully, including Conchi Erb, there are four people present, three of whom are his fathers, two living fathers and one zombie father. Moreover, the three fathers are from different camps, and the relationship is very complicated.
Seeing that he could no longer let his two living fathers stay together, Cu Chulainn had no choice but to agree:
"In that case, I will go there as an envoy to have a look. It would be best if we could form an alliance with Connaught."
"Well, go ahead. I will take good care of your mother. Don't worry." Jiang Lu agreed easily.
It was so easy that Fergus was secretly stunned.
With such a simple mind, compared to me, he is simply an irresponsible and unqualified father!
With such joy, Fergus took Cu Chulainn and left Dectel's manor.
Jiang Lu, on the other hand, stood on the window sill on the second floor and watched the two of them go away, without any disturbance in his heart, and even wanted to laugh a little.
This is so funny, who is a good man who acts as a stepfather for the sake of his children?
