Chapter 151: [Duke's Invitation]
At this moment, Yuelang was thin and thin. With this court attendant all the way to the emperor's large account, the guard was clearly felt on the road. Although the number of patrols of the Imperial Forest did not increase significantly, the Imperial Forest was fully armed. And after exchanging camps, the emperor's large account set up a new camp each, so that the two teams of Yu Linjun stationed nearby.
The emperor's battle is like a house. A country travels supremely. This is not so much a detachable mobile palace as a tent.
Although the large account entered and exited a few times, the guards on both sides were obviously elite warriors, and they were all wicked. As Charlie walked between them, he could clearly feel the fierce vigor of each guard warrior. He is in these days. The Emperor Capital, I have heard of some royal affairs. It is said that the most trusted guard samurai around the emperor seem to be called "Dark Night Royal Forest" or something ...
When Emperor Cantos saw Xia came in, he did not get up, but leaned on a soft collapse. The emperor's face was still tired. Obviously, the drunkenness of the previous day was a great burden on the body of the old and sickly lanced emperor. Even after the rest of the day and night, the spirit of the emperor remained Didn't recover, when Xia came in, looking at the old man, she clearly saw a bit of weakness in the other's face.
As the Xia entered, the emperor sat up a little, then raised his hands, and let the waiters in the room quit. Soon, there was only one person beside the emperor—Xia Ya met for the first time. When he was the emperor, the middle-aged man who had seen the unremarkable appearance behind the emperor still stood in the corner quietly like the emperor's shadow.
Xia Ya glanced at the middle-aged man, then stood up straight: "Your Majesty, I am here."
The emperor raised his eyelids with a smile on his face: "Xia Ya, I heard that you got a little wound today?"
"Um." Xia Ya was nervous, but his face pretended to be calm and relaxed, and then he did not wait for the emperor to ask questions, and then he would first learn how to bring people into the forest to hunt and chase a snow fox during the day. How to get lost and lost his companion came to the lake, happened to meet "a lady", and then happened to stop an assassination.
Speaking of that assassination, Charlie had a more serious tone, and carefully described the appearance and skill of the assassin.
The man's archery was extremely powerful. He used a long bow and iron ridge heavy arrows. His shooting strength was amazing, and he seemed to be very good at lurking in the jungle.-Your Majesty, I am a hunter from a mountain. I can see that. The opponent must be an old hand! "
"Well." The emperor listened quietly, not at all, as if he was a little bit dreamy and didn't say anything immediately.
Today is indeed strange.
The assassination of this kind of Emperor Cantos was not surprised. Even if he himself, he did not know how many assassinations he had encountered in his life, but ... the target of the assassination was placed on his own daughter-in-law, which was a bit complicated. Already.
In any case, if it is the hostile forces, then they should be the first target.
What's more, this matter lies in: It happened to be at the Royal Garden that Defeni was at ease! Just then, her horse was frightened and lost! It happened that her servant ran out to look for horses! Just happened to leave her by the lake alone! !!
Where did so many coincidences come from? !! Humph!
Frankly, when the news was just received, the Emperor Cantos even had a little doubt about Xia: Just at this time, Xia happened to encounter this assassination?
This royal garden occupies a huge area. Even if he lost his way, where can't he go, so happened to meet Defeny? !!
Organizing an assassination? Is it intentional or unintentional?
Don't blame Emperor Cantos for being jealous. He is in his status and status. He has experienced too much in his life. Do n’t think about it when encountering things!
He had asked Daifini carefully, but Daifini said quite clearly: "Baron Charia doesn't know my identity. I only tell him that I am the daughter of a nobleman. The Lord Baron seems to be right The rules of hunting are not well understood, so it's not clear who I am. "
If Xia deliberately finds someone to perform this play, to make a contribution to save the Princess ... then he should not pretend to know the identity of the Princess! Otherwise ... Where does his credit come from?
Moreover, from the bottom of his heart, the Emperor Cantos also did not believe that this young man whom he valued was so unbearable. This guy was born in the wild, there should be no potential forces, to invite a powerful dive into the royal garden at this moment, and cooperate with him to perform such a drama ... Shaya, he has no such forces.
So is it a coincidence? !!
The team of Yulin Army who rescued the two in the forest today has been immediately transferred back to the city by the emperor, and sealed down!
The servants of Princess Fei Fei's side, those servants who left in the woods to find horses, and left Princess Fei alone by the lake, have been arrested by the Emperor's Order and closely interrogated.
As a result of the interrogation, two servants had committed suicide with fear, but left no valuable clues after all.
So good, at least to say that this matter has nothing to do with Charlie. The servants around the two princesses have been with Defeni for several years. For a few years, Charlie was hunting in the mountains.
The emperor was dreaming, while Xia stood quietly without speaking, waiting quietly for the emperor's movement.
Finally, the emperor was silent for a long time, and then sighed softly, sneer: "The bright gun is easy to hide, but the cold arrow shot in the dark is difficult to guard against! Hmm, Xia, you worked hard today. I heard you hit the assassin's arrow, It doesn't seem to matter if you look like me, I'm relieved. "
After a pause, the emperor said lightly: "The girl you saved is a person who has a lot to do with my royal family and is a royal aristocracy. However, you don't need to mention this matter, no matter what you see today or what you hear It ’s all in the belly, understand? "
Xia Yazheng nodded his point, which relieved him--well, this matter does not seem to have anything to do with himself.
"Well, assassination of such things, I have never known how many times I have encountered! Just come here if there is anything, I want to see, who are these clowns hiding in the dark!"
The emperor seemed very heroic, and with a smile, he stood up.
Charlie hesitated in her heart, looking at the old emperor, and watching the forceful spirit that emerged from the emperor's face—Xia Ya suddenly had some faint sympathy in her heart.
To be honest, Charya had a good opinion of Emperor Cantos. After all, in his life, after coming out of the wildfire field, he came to the outside world. To the best of himself, except for General Adek, fat Luer, and others, he was considered a rifle emperor.
It is dragon scales. Chardonnay; this is the self-defense I got by chance, please accept it! With this thing in your body, even if some assassins attack, you can keep your Majesty safe.
Emperor Cantos was really touched at the moment.
He naturally knew the value of dragon scales! Such a powerful armor, for a warrior, the value can even be regarded as the second life! Such powerful protective equipment can save a soldier's life at a critical moment! What's more, Xia will soon go to the frontier to recognize that there will inevitably be some wars in the frontier land. This is the most necessary kind of solid armor to save lives. This kid actually gave it to himself without hesitation, which is enough to show his heart
The emperor moved slightly and looked at Xia Ya carefully. The young boy's face was sincere but he didn't know that there were at least ten pieces of Xia Ya on this dragon scale! But most of them exist in the old home in the mountains, and they only carry three or five pieces.
The emperor was pleased in his heart, glanced at Xia, and laughed; put away! How can my imperial emperor collect your beloved! Well, you need these things in your army to fight for the generals and the empire. "
Then the emperor proudly said, "I have thousands of iron armors and loyal royal guards. I forgive that the rats hidden in the dark can't hurt me. Your heart is scared, and I've got it!"
Xia Haha smiled, but did not take things back, and said frankly, "Your Majesty, I still have some dragon scales. I can use them myself, so I don't need to be kind to me."
Then, he insisted that he put the dragon scales in front of the soft bed, and then took a few steps back.
The emperor was touched and looked at the kid. What Xia was telling the truth was that it was not according to merit. Such a kind and loyal young man pleased the emperor.
He glanced at the dragon scale on the table, and his heart moved ... Dragon scale's strong defense is indeed well known. It is really good to have this thing stored close to it, which is light and secret.
After thinking about it, the emperor smiled: "Okay, I'll take your things! But I can't take your things for nothing."
Looking at the magnificent appearance of Xia Yayingwu, the emperor groaned slightly, and raised his voice and said, "Come!" A response came immediately from outside.
A middle-aged warrior wearing soft armor strode in and stood next to Xia. Walking in, this man was short, wearing soft armor, brown eyes, dark skin, and steady steps. Standing next to Xia, Xia immediately felt as if she felt a beast standing beside him!
The middle-aged man's eyes were full of energy, watching the emperor stably said, "Your Majesty!"
"Junk." The emperor was very easy-going towards the middle-aged man who came in. "The one next to you is Baron Xia Leiming, which is also my favorite young handsome man."
The middle-aged warrior named Junker glanced at Charya and nodded slightly: "Her Lord Baron!"
"Hey! Boy, you should have heard the name of Dark Night Royal Forest, Juncker is the Dark Night Royal Forest and one of the most trusted people around me." The emperor smiled slightly, and then said positively: "Junk, I have one thing for you to do! Baron Xia is about to go to the frontier to take office, and the frontiers are in danger. After returning to the city this time, you will find Baron Xia from the Royal Palace Arsenal to find a good set of equipment. Well, Xia Ah, I do n’t know what weapon you are best at, but I ’ll explain it to Junker. We will prepare a set of weapons for you, long and short weapons, and armor!
The emperor said here and ordered Junker: Pick it up! "
Hearing here, this Junker deliberately looked at Xia again, a little flash of surprise in his eyes.
He has been with the emperor for many years. Although the emperor has promoted the young generals in the army in recent years, and especially vigorously enriched the hawk faction, it is rare to show such love for a general.
Emperor Cantos said the conversation, and was a bit tired, and then signaled to let Xia and others leave.
When Xia got out of the tent, that Junker followed, calling Xia: "Master Baron."
Charlie stopped and turned to look at Junker. I do n’t know why. In the face of Junker, Charya always had an unnatural feeling, as if she was standing in front of a fierce beast at close range. This Junker looked ordinary. , But always makes Charlie feel "this person is extremely dangerous".
"Well, General Juncker, what else?"
Junker said indifferently: "I am a banner group, please don't say anything about the general's name." His voice was scrupulous, not humble: "Your Majesty ordered, let me choose a weapon for the Lord Baron, and also please tell your address, after you return , I'll send someone right away. "
Charya left her address in the Imperial City, and then left.
I stayed in the royal garden for one more night, and the next morning, the hunt was over.
The emperor symbolically held a commendation ceremony and encouraged some of the noble children who performed well during the hunt. This naturally includes not many prey that Charlie played in his two days, but the emperor made it clear that the horse and the horse would bring the young baron with a new head, who would be silly at this time. Trouble?
Young people including Xia Ya, the emperor, and the emperor encouraged a few words in public, each of them rewarded a pair of co-construction and a brocade-these things, we may not be in the eyes, everyone who can stand here Who are the children of the giants? However, if it can be favored by the emperor and attract the attention of the emperor, then the future will be greatly favorable.
In the past two days, the emperor's attitude towards Xia was noticed by all the nobles. They secretly explained their young disciples and sought opportunities to get closer to the Baron of Xia.
So when the awards ended, these young aristocrats who had been appreciated with Xia came to Xia to talk to each other. After a lot of affection, they invited several cocktail parties on the spot and invited Xia to come. Although he understood the emperor's meaning and didn't like to show too much in the camp, but others showed up, and he didn't need to make an unpleasant look thousands of miles away.
Immediately he returned to the city, all the way to the Imperial Forest, thousands of people returned to Osgilia.
After returning to his residence, Xia Ya took a short rest for half a day. Soyet came in and noticed that someone was coming.
Visitors?
Charya pondered for a moment, she had no friends in the imperial capital ... Is it Cavieshir again to trouble himself?
But Soyett's face was rather weird, adding: "My lord ... come, it's the Duke of Minas's house."
Xia Yateng jumped up!
Duke of Minas? !!
He is no stranger to this name! !!
Duke Minas, the empire is now the oldest and most prestigious military veteran! Although he no longer has the military power to lead the army, in recent years he has even retired from official positions and retired at home, but who knows his prestige in the army? Almost all of the hawkish generals of the hawk department came from the old man's door! Even the warlord party is not short of this old duke's subordinates!
Among the people I know, Adrik, Ruhr, the two empire generals can be said to be the students of the Duke of Minas! Hmm ... and Green's crazy dog! !!
Now, such a senior emperor, send someone to see himself?
Charlie suddenly jumped in her heart! !!
After he returned, he inquired a little at home, and already knew the origin of the princess he encountered.
The princess seems to be the youngest daughter of the Duke of Minas.
Er, is it that I have teased my daughter, and now I come to the house to get revenge? !!
After taking a few minutes, Xia immediately went out to meet in the courtyard.
I saw a man standing in the yard.
The comer wore a coarse linen robe, as if it were just an ordinary servant's dress, light golden short, strong limbs, and a very sturdy physique. Indeed, it was indeed under the veteran's door, even a servant was so majestic.
But looking at the appearance of the servant, Charya could not help but stay.
This person
Uh, how do you say that. This guy also looks like he is in his thirties. A face should have belonged to that handsome and handsome type, but he has a beard and a beard!
Anyone who keeps a beard will always have a feeling of wildness and boldness, but this person has a pair of eyes that are somewhat slender, and his original look is more feminine and adds a face. What a must-have beard, it's really weird.
Even if the other party was only a servant, but he was born under the Duke of Minas's door, maybe he was also a Duke's disciple or something like that-you know, the Duke of Minas' apprentice, there is no waste! Just look at people like Adrik and Ruhrgreen.
Moreover, although this person just stood in front of him casually, seemingly lazy, but in his bones, Charya felt an indescribable spirit of intimacy!
So Xia stepped forward solemnly and nodded his head. He did not despise his eyes, and said straightly, "I am Xia Leiming. Your Excellency is under the Duke of Minas ..."
"I'm a duke next to the Duke. If you don't care about your name, please ask me, if the Lord Baron has any instructions, just call me Roddy." The comer grinned, but there was a little more publicity in the smile, She took a deep look at Xia Ya and laughed, "They all said that the baron was born rashly, and today I saw it. Sure enough, he did not lose his character."
Having said that, he pointed at the door, and a carriage was parked on the street outside the doorway: "The Lord asked the Baron Charya to come, and if the Baron is convenient at the moment, please follow me." People in the capacity of Duke S. invited to look at the empire, which one would say a "no"? Don't say it's okay, even if there is really something important in your hand, you will let it go.
Xia didn't hesitate: "Okay, I'll go with you!"
After speaking, he turned around and explained to Soyet a few words, then went out with the servant and came to the door. The servant pointed at the carriage and laughed: "Baron, please get in the car."
Xia shook her head and said in full color: "Although I haven't seen the Duke, I have heard the Duke say something: Soldier, don't take a car!"
Having said that, Soyte had already brought the horse, Charlie turned on her horse, and immediately looked at the servant: "Please take the road ahead, at least I will follow."
The servant named Rody gave a little sting, and then took a deep look at Xia, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he didn't say much. He jumped onto the carriage, sat in front, raised his whip and drank With a sound, the carriage was on its way.
Charlie's eyes flashed when she saw the man's whip!
Although Roddy was a servant ~ EbookFREE.me ~, the thrashing of the whip, but the wrist just flicked slightly, the soft leather whip immediately shook out in a straight line, and the method was indescribably crisp. !! !!
This kind of flexible wrist strength and skills, even if Xia himself arrogant, I am afraid it can not be done! If it is said that this Roddy does not have martial arts, it is simply a deception! !!
Under this Duke of Minas ... it is crouching! Even a little groom has this extraordinary strength!
Xia Ya's heart was calm, and she slowly followed her.
[Say two things. First, many friends are busy rushing home for Chinese New Year in the past two days. In the northern snow and ice weather, everyone pays attention to safety on the road ~~
Secondly, during the New Year, maybe the update will be affected a little, after all, is the New Year? However, I will squeeze more time for the God of Throne code. First make a promise here: I try to keep changing as much as possible, and to keep the number of days during the Chinese New Year may be reduced), I also need to take a break, visit relatives and friends and so on, it is human nature ~ ha ha.
