Chapter 45: Guards

"Rub~"

The sound of the sword being drawn out, a cold light approached Zhou Ming's throat.

Less than three inches from the neck.

"Your Royal Highness the Princess is your escort, are you still not satisfied?"

The person who drew the sword was the expressionless woman standing next to Princess Six, her eyes were cold, and her gaze at Zhou Ming was full of disdain and contempt.

and a hint of hostility that is hard to hide.

“?”

Zhou Ming looked at the long sword in front of him with a question mark on his face, what does this mean?

"Nabe, don't be rude!"

Princess Shivanis spoke, "Put your sword away." ”

Anger flashed across Nabe's face, but she put her sword back away.

"Mr. Leilin, I am not strict, please don't blame me. Severis bowed to Zhou Ming.

"It's fine. ”

Zhou Ming shook his head and said to King Jaime at the top: "Your Majesty, you should choose two other guards, Her Royal Highness the princess has a noble status, how can you be the guard of my little viscount?"

"If outsiders know about it, wouldn't it be a joke for the royal family?"

"My status is low, and it doesn't matter if I am told a few words, but how can the princess bear those gossips?"

"Please change two guards for me, Your Majesty. ”

Zhou Ming arched his hand and refused politely.

He's not a fool, so how doesn't he know what King James is up to?

At the same time, he also sighed, a princess, King James's favorite pearl in the palm of his hand, he actually made such a big investment, just to win himself over?

This old king, like Roberts's old fox, can be called "cunning and cunning".

So Zhou Ming didn't dare to fall into his trap.

"Sir, that's a mistake. ”

But it was Princess Syvanis who opened her mouth: "Sir set up a pharmacy production factory and built a bank, solved the financial problems of the kingdom, and allowed many people of the kingdom to have decent jobs, everything that Sir did was of great significance, and it was beneficial to tens of millions of people in the kingdom, and Sir was the most helpful person to the kingdom." ”

"The kingdom needs a talent like Mr. Sir, and it is an honor for Severnis to be his protector and protect his safety. ”

"Sir, please do not refuse the followers of Sylvanis. ”

Princess Shivernis half-bowed, her expression genuine.

And what she said was all from her heart, and there was not a word of falsehood.

As the princess of the kingdom, Sylvanis is actually very similar to her father's personality, and she is very worried and concerned about the future fate of the kingdom.

Unlike her three older brothers, who are uneducated and unskilled, she often goes deep into the people, cares about their suffering, and investigates some deep-rooted problems in the kingdom.

As she learned more and discovered more problems, Severnis felt endless anxiety.

After investigating, she came to the conclusion that the kingdom of Adud was hopeless.

The upper echelons are corrupt and difficult to return, and the bottom is impoverished, which is shocking.

She wanted to change the kingdom, and she actively advised her father and the king, but ......

The royal power was weakened, and resources were mainly concentrated in the hands of the nobility.

Even the core of the "Loyal King Party", the Lei Lin family, was also suppressed by the joint efforts of the nobles, and failed to make any waves.

Despair.

As a teenager, Princess Stephenes experienced the despair her father endured.

There is no hope in sight.

She spends most of her time honing her martial arts, and if she can't change the kingdom, she wants to protect her family.

The appearance of an inconspicuous character suddenly changes all that.

The starting point for the change was set on the day of his father's 60th birthday party.

From that day on, Stephenes slowly discovered that the kingdom began to change a little.

The humble boy who made the magic cake, Lemoton Rayling, she saw him as a minor character at first, and didn't take him too seriously.

Now that a year has passed, she is actually going to become the escort of this small role.

And all the things that this little character has done, even she has to start looking up.

Because according to her investigation, the current kingdom, the nobles of various fiefdoms have set off a wave of medicinal herb cultivation, and the magic cake shop of the Rudolph family has opened fifteen branches in China and ten abroad.

The most eye-catching performance is actually the clothing industry of the Torris family, because in the city of Dilo, the royal capital, there are now more than 10,000 families, relying on the clothing industry of the Torris family to survive, and the large number of idle people on the streets of the royal capital and the shocking poverty phenomenon have now decreased a lot, and it is said that they have gone to various factories.

Most people can't feel these changes, but Princess Stephenis, who was born with a keen sense of smell, saw some signs.

There is also exciting hope.

So when her father proposed that she should be Mr. Leylin's guard, she nodded and agreed without hesitating for half a second...... King Jaime was surprised.

"This ......"

It's Zhou Ming's turn to make trouble, Princess Xiwenis has said so, if he refuses again, it will be a bit inappropriate.

"Just ......"

Zhou Ming shook his head and said: "I don't know how the princess's strength is, if she encounters some powerful opponents, Her Royal Highness the princess will be difficult to deal with, and if something happens, how should I explain to your majesty? ”

He had found a better excuse, the princess could take revenge on him, but what if he was in real danger?

Is Zhou Ming's life important, or is the princess's life important?

This question asked King Jaime, and a trace of hesitation flashed on his face, now in the kingdom, there are many forces targeting this kid, maybe some families really dare to be ruthless, and their precious daughter is involved in the risk of his side, is it a little unwise?

It is true that King James attaches great importance to Zhou Ming's talent, but his daughter, Sylvanis, doesn't he value it?

If he had to choose one or the other, King James would still choose his own daughter.

"Are you questioning the strength of Her Royal Highness the Princess?"

"Don't worry, at least in the Kingdom of Adude, there are few people who are the opponents of Her Royal Highness the Princess, and no one can take your life in the hands of the Princess. ”

A voice came to my ears.

It was Nabe beside Syvines again, sneering with her sword in her arms.

Zhou Ming looked at her and said in his heart: What's the matter with this girl, how can she talk and rush?

"Nabe! ”

Xiwenis reprimanded, walked up to Zhou Ming in two steps and said, "Sir, I am now a cultivator of the Great Swordsman, and I should be able to protect your thoughtfulness." ”

Great Swordsman?

I heard that Princess Xiwenis is only twenty years old now, and her cultivation talent is so high?

And in the kingdom of Adudus, there are indeed not many warriors who have cultivated as great swordsmen, and there are very few.

There was a legendary swordsman above the Great Swordsman more than ten years ago, but now he is not in the country, maybe he has fallen, so the samurai at the level of the Great Swordsman are considered to be the top handful.

"What about you, what level of strength are you?"

Zhou Ming raised his head and asked Nabei.

"Me?"

Nabei smiled disdainfully, and the momentum on her body rose, and a circle of golden fighting qi was released from her body through the armor.

The dazzling golden light indicated that she was also a great swordsman's cultivation.

"If I don't have the same strength as Her Royal Highness the Princess, how can I be qualified to stay by her side and become her most trusted companion?"

Nabe bit the word 'companion' very hard, as if it meant something.

"Good!"

Zhou Ming nodded: "I will accept both of you, if there is any danger in the future, I will run with Her Royal Highness the princess first, and you stay to resist, this should be no problem." ”

"You-"

Nabe glared at him, her eyes blazing, and she gripped her right hand on the handle of the sword and gripped it a little harder.

This damn fellow, she kind of wanted to draw her sword and cut him.

King Jaime also said, "Nabe, Xiwei's safety will be left to your care, and you must take care of her." ”

Hearing this, Nabei was very apprehensive, put her hand on her chest, half-squatted down and said, "Yes, Your Majesty! ”

When I saw the extremely serious and happy expression on Nabei's face.

Somehow, Zhou Ming felt a chill.

……

On the way back to the Castle of the Vial.

Sitting in a horse-drawn carriage.

Beside Zhou Ming, one left and one right, followed by two eye-catching beautiful figures, each riding a horse.

Passing by a small bazaar.

"Nabe, buy me some fruit. ”

"Don't go. ”

"Nabei, I'm thirsty, buy me some tea. ”

"Don't go. ”

"Nabe, help me buy half a sheep and go back in the evening to make something delicious. ”

"Don't go!"

"Nabei, you and Her Royal Highness the Princess are both guests, I want to cook two specialty dishes and entertain you well, why don't you want this?

"Shut up, I'm your guard, not your servant, and I'll cut your tongue again!"

Nabe glared at him fiercely and said, for this guy, her endurance is almost challenging to the limit, and she even wants to pull out her sword and kill him!

Zhou Ming, who was bored with himself, closed his mouth.

He put the ring on his left ring finger with his right index finger and touched it, a white light shone out, and a staff appeared on his hand.

He took the staff and said to the two of them, "Let me test your abilities, I use flying skills, you do your best, chase after you, see who reaches the Castle of Medicine Bottles first, if you catch up, I admit that you have the ability to protect me." ”

"If you can't catch up, I think it should be you who are protected. ”

Zhou Ming, who took advantage of the verbal advantage, recited the spell as soon as he finished speaking, and used the "super flying technique" to rise into the air, and then a vortex accelerated, and the person "swished" to a hundred meters away.

And the speed is getting faster and faster, and it will soon become a small dot.

"Chase!"

Now it's not just Nabe, but Princess Severnis is also angry and annoyed on her face, that kid dares to underestimate them?

The two of them jumped off their horses almost at the same time, exerting their fighting qi with all their might, and chased after him at the fastest speed in their lives.

On the slender official road, the two turned into two golden rays of light that shot straight through.
