When the two dukes, Nanton and Kasugari, were still quite shocked when they saw Onieen disembarking from the airship, they could never have imagined that Her Royal Highness the Princess would be mixed in such an inconspicuous mercenary group and sneak to the front line.

"See Her Royal Highness the Princess. The two dukes bowed to Aonien in unison.

"Uncles, get up. O'Ann hurriedly helped the two uncles and dukes up, "Thanks to the two uncles, the starry night has come to relieve the siege of Xituo City, otherwise I really don't know how long these Tingxiao people will be arrogant." ”

"Your Highness is serious, but we came here with a military order, so naturally we don't dare to delay. Nanton said with a smile.

As soon as Si Shao saw that the princess and the two earls had something to say, he naturally retreated to the side first.

"Your Highness, your injuries ... Kasugi glanced at Onian and asked with concern. The two of them also heard a little about the princess's injury, and said at that time that Master Pilo didn't have a good way for a while, so he had to recuperate in peace, how could he appear on the battlefield now in good spirits?

"Healed. Onian smiled and said, "There are two uncles who are worried." ”

"Look at Your Highness, you are right, it's not just the two of us, our big group of old guys are all worried about His Highness's injuries, no one knows that you are Your Majesty's heart, Princess. Nanton said with a kind face.

"Yes, so I hope that His Highness will pay attention to his own safety, and things like defending the lonely city will be left to us old guys to do well. Your Highness, you are a golden man, you can't risk your life. Count Kasugi persuaded.

"What the two uncles said is that if my father knew that I had secretly run out of the palace, he would probably teach me a hard lesson. Onian smiled helplessly.

The two counts thought to themselves, Your Majesty's pearl in the palm of his hand, is not a fuel-efficient lamp, it seems that these young people are all the same, and none of them make the elders worry.

"Your Highness, are you rushing to the front?" Nanton asked.

"Yes, I was about to ask, two uncles, how is the battle on the front?"

"When we set off, Your Majesty received a war letter from Marshal Jiu Zhan from Tingxiao, saying that he was going to fight to the death with His Majesty on February 15. Nanton replied.

"That's three days left. The Duke of Nanton had spent a day and a night arriving here from the front, so it seemed that he should be able to catch up. O'Ann thought to herself.

"Your Highness, if you are in a hurry to go to the front, why don't you go all the way north along the provincial road from Fengtie Fort to Newinn City, isn't it a lot of time-saving?" Nanton couldn't help but ask. He also wondered, what is the princess doing on this southern coastline? Is it true that the princess is obsessed with the child of the Philip family as rumored outside?

O'Ann was crying out in her heart at this time, and she couldn't tell anyone that she had come to this remote coastline because she was tied up by someone who thought she was.

"At that time, I was in a hurry and pulled the wound, and I needed to kill a few monsters in the mountains to make a potion to stabilize the injury. Thanks to these friends in the mercenary group who sacrificed their lives to get it, otherwise I am afraid that I would not be able to leave the king's province. Later, I planned to go north along the provincial highway after recovering from my injuries," Speaking of this, Onian smiled, "However, none of the leaders of this mercenary group are worry-free, and they all ignore the military orders of the Ministry of Military Affairs and march without authorization, and I can't stop them, and I am afraid that they will fall into the hands of the Tingxiao mercenaries on this coastline, so it will be difficult to leave, and I will have no choice but to go all the way to this Xituo City." ”

"Hey, this kid Laiwu is really getting more and more confused, just don't listen to the orders of the Ministry of Military Affairs, and put the princess in danger, it's really going to turn the sky upside down. I'll go clean up with him in a moment. Nanton scolded with a straight face, "This time, thanks to Your Highness, you have taken care of you all the way, otherwise these little guys will probably lose their lives." ”

If Lai Wu was to be wronged here, he didn't know that there was a bold "traitor" in his team, and he actually hid the princess in the mercenary group privately.

"Princess, this time it's the blessing of Jiren, you can't be so reckless in the future. In case of a mistake on your part, where will Your Majesty be able to withstand such a blow, especially when these two countries are fighting each other. Kasugi said bitterly.

"Uncle Kassugi's lesson is that I'm really like these young people, and they're all messing around. Onian was ashamed, "But this time Xituo City was able to defend it, and their mercenary group contributed a lot." Coupled with the fact that they bravely braved the mountains and saved my life, this can be regarded as a merit offset, right?"

"Your Highness said so, then forget it. Nanton's face softened slightly.

"Yes, brother, don't be too harsh on the young man, I just saw that he is still quite heroic in battle, no worse than when you were young, brother. Kasugi also said to Nanton comfortingly, "Besides, these children, for the safety of the princess, can go to that terrifying mountain range to fight monsters fiercely, that is also quite courageous, how can ordinary people have this courage?"

That's not bad. I really didn't expect that these few people who eat and wait for death all day long would have the courage to go to the mountain range. Nanton said lightly.

Then, without waiting for the battlefield to be cleaned, the city guard of Xituo led people to welcome the princess and the two dukes into the city, while Laiwu, Alvin and others followed the two dukes honestly.

This victory is indeed inspiring enough to be celebrated. When everyone entered the city, they found that the whole Xituo city was already full of sheng songs, drums and music, it seems that the princess did not let the city guard hold a celebration banquet yesterday really suffocated him, this time it is going to hold a big one. The people greeted each other, all with a look of joy on their faces, and they waved their arms vigorously at the head of Princess Onian, and shouted for joy, if it were not for the Maine soldiers on both sides, they were afraid that they would come up again to offer melons and fruits and wine.

Whether it is the stoic defenders of Xituo City, or the royal iron cavalry who rushed to the aid of the starry night, or the miraculous mercenary group of visitors from all directions, they are all heroes of this battle, and they deserve to be rewarded by the people with delicious food and wine.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The beacon owl led everyone into the city lord's mansion, and at this time, a banquet had been set up on the main hall.

Taking advantage of the fact that the generals of several parties were almost seated, the beacon duck picked up the silver spoon and tilted the cup holder twice, and after making a "ding, ding" sound, the noisy hall gradually quieted down.

"I think it's up to Her Royal Highness the Princess to say a few words first. Beacon smiled and glanced at Onian in the main seat.

"Yes, yes. Everyone in the surrounding seats nodded in agreement.

Onien smiled and stood up to salute, and then said with a restrained expression: "This great victory depends on the concerted efforts of all of you, whether it is the defenders of Xituo City, the Royal Iron Cavalry, or the Quartet Mercenary Group, they are all the heroes of this great victory. Imagine what kind of suffering the people who welcomed us into the city if these Tingxiao people were allowed to invade the city? So here, I want to thank you, thank you for sacrificing your lives and forgetting your death, and thank you for saving the people from fire and water. Come, everyone, raise your glass, for the sake of the Yafei Empire! We want to let these wolf-ambitious Tingxiao people have a life to come, but they have no life to return!"

"For the Yafei Empire! For the Yafei Empire!"

"Let Tingxiao people, if you have a life, you won't have a life to come back!"

Everyone raised their glasses and shouted in unison.

Alvin secretly looked at Onian with a wine glass, and suddenly realized that the imperial spirit is really innate sometimes, why can a girl speak so sonorously and forcefully, and unite people's hearts? Just because she is a princess?

In fact, he has never been very accustomed to this particularly lively environment, and his limit is to drink with Laiwu and a few others, and it is feasible to add a few female concubines. Now it was a bit beyond his ability.

Just as he walked to the Ming Hall outside with his wine glass and looked at the pots of green and rich bamboos, Yu Guang happened to see Lai Wu and his father, Duke Nanton, walking into a room on the second floor.

"Looking at Lai Wu's solemn face, he won't be trained by his father again. Alvin thought to himself, tugging at the corners of his mouth.

In the room at this time, the two of them were talking about topics that Alvin couldn't imagine.

"How did the princess end up here?" asked the Duke of Nanton, frowning.

"How do I know which of Alwin's tendons is wrong and will sneak her out. Lai Wu said helplessly.

"Then you have to be careful, don't let Alvin see any clues, that little guy is always careful. Nanton reminded.

"Ouch, got it. Lyor seemed a little upset when his father mentioned Alwin.

"Did you understand what I'm saying?" Nanton said in a stiff tone.

"I see. Won't let him see anything. Lai Wu said with his head down.

"Also, what are you doing in that mountain range, the princess's life has nothing to do with you, what if you die there?" Nanton was a little angry when he said this, "I usually look quite clever, why am I stupid at a critical time." ”

"At that time, everyone was discussing going together, so I can't say I won't go, right?" Lai Wu defended.

"What are you discussing?Alvin may be obsessed with lust, could it be that you also like the princess?" Nanton glared and said, "Before you set off, didn't you just want you to be safer?"

"I'm not dead. Lai Wu was very helpless in the face of a series of questions.

"You like war so much, let the prince arrange a position for you in the army when the time comes. Nanton looked at his son with a depressed expression, and stopped questioning.

"Whatever you want. ”

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In the afternoon, many of the generals were very drunk and lay staggered on the main hall.

Seeing the blush on Aurien's face, Alwyn knew that she must have drunk a few glasses too, so he took her to blow the sea breeze, and regarded it as sobering up. In fact, ordinary generals are self-aware, and they will not rashly come to toast with the princess, after all, their identity is not enough. In addition, with two dukes and beacon owls on his side, even if any general who did not know how to be humble came to persuade him to drink, he would have been blocked a long time ago. Alwyn thought to herself that she might be pressed with something, so she didn't pay attention to drink two more glasses.

At this time, in a room on the second floor, Lai Wu and Chen Zhu were sitting solemnly, and these two people didn't drink much today. Chen Zhu still had an open envelope in his hand, which was brought to Chen Zhu by his father, the Duke of Qianxiao.

"What does your father's letter say?" Lai Wu asked, looking at Chen Zhu.

"What else can I say, it's nothing more than saving my life. Chen Zhu whispered.

"Does that mean that our Quartet Mercenary Group has ended here?" Lai Wu said with a wry smile.

"Isn't there still Alvin and Keba?" although Chen Zhu also said with a smile, there was a bit of sadness in his smile.

"Yes. Lai Wu said casually.

The two looked at each other and didn't speak again for a while. The room was filled with heavy depression.

"Are you sure you didn't tell the two of them?" Chen Zhu said slowly.

"If you tell Alwin, he still has to go to the front line overnight to inform his father?" Lai Wu said and glanced at Chen Zhu, "Isn't that all over?"

"What about Kaiba? Don't say it?" asked Chenzhu.

"You don't know this person Keba, you told him, he must go and talk to Alwin. Lai Wu smiled bitterly, "He's a person who values friendship quite a lot, and he's not like you and me." ”

"Huh. That's just as well. Chen Zhu also laughed at himself.

"Could it be that the letter from your father didn't mention that you should be kept silent?"

"Of course, there is. ”

"That's not it. ”

"But... You should also know that they are gone, and they should not come back. Chen Zhu said and turned to look at Lai Wu.

Lai Wu lowered his eyes and sighed, "That's no way... I might be able to survive. ”

"I didn't expect that you Laiwu would also lie to yourself. Chen Zhu said sarcastically.
