Chapter 65: The Royal Family
on a road.
A horse-drawn carriage sped by, and the uneven road was suddenly dusty.
"Oops, oops. Sister, slow down, slow down!" was thrown up and down in the bumpy carriage, and cried out again and again.
"You're really hypocritical!" Weaving Core, who was driving, listened to Rohr's complaints, slowly slowed down, and laughed, "It's been a long time since I've been driving a carriage so happily." ”
You're having a good time, I'm almost full of bags. Luo Er thought to himself, and then said, "Sister, let's rest!"
Weaving Core looked at the tired horses, agreed with Rohr, and drove the carriage to a small shaded spot.
After the rope is tied, the core feeds the horse a little water, and then gently wipes the sweat beads from its body with a rag.
This was the fourth day that they had gone south to the capital. So this requires Rohr to open the map and then observe the surrounding terrain to discern his bearings.
The surrounding continuous, towering peaks, looking up, the mountain is only a sheep intestine path, extremely narrow, and there are dangerous rocks abruptly blocking the way.
Looking at this steep mountain, Luo Er was deeply touched and understood why it would take twice as long for reinforcements to come from the city at that time, and if they wanted to cross the mountains and mountains.
The road from Tianya City to Twin City is about an "L" shape, and the two cities are just at two endpoints, so the road is quite simple, and you can recognize your own location at once.
After much thought, Rohr concluded that they still had about ten days to get to the city.
Then, Rohr told the core the news loudly.
Hearing this, Weaving Core came over and grabbed the map, and after looking at the map from top to bottom, from left to right, he asked in a daze: "How far is it from Jing Tao City?"
It turned out that from Tianya City to the capital of the Nelu Empire, it was necessary to pass through the two cities of Twin City and Jingtao City.
Luo Er smacked his lips and proudly took back the map, not forgetting to sarcastically weave the core: "What are you robbing if you don't know how to look at the map?"
"Little brother, do you dare to laugh at me?" Weaving Core muttered, jumped up and grabbed Luoer's ear, and twisted it, "Say, how many more will you get to Jingtao City?"
"It hurts, it hurts. Luo Er pointed to the map and explained while struggling, "If you don't stay longer in the city, there may be twenty days left!"
After hearing this, Weaving Core let go of his hand, tilted his head, squinted his eyes, and calculated in his heart: "There are still about two months before the general selection of the capital city starts. After arriving in Jingtao City, there is still more than a month left, so wouldn't it be more time to have a good look at the cherry blossoms in Jingtao City?"
Then she trotted to the horse, rolled up her sleeves, squatted down, and quickly uprooted all the grass around her, and then put the words in her mouth: "Horse, don't be slow!
Seeing this, Rohr really felt a faint sadness for the horse.
The capital of the Empire of the Netiro Empire, also known as the city of Pervortex.
In this building, the temple of the Royal Palace was built in the center of the city. In one of the inner halls of the palace, there are thousands of hanging lamps and brilliant jewels. The golden tripod is burned with the fragrance of the dragon's birthday, and the wisps of faint fragrance are floating leisurely, coiling in the hall.
A middle-aged man in a golden robe and dignified was sitting on the imperial chair, closing his eyes and recuperating.
At this time, a middle-aged minister pinned two volumes of secret letters from Tianya City with both hands, and said, "Holy Lord, this is a secret letter about Tianya City sent a few days ago. ”
It turned out that not long before that, the secret letters written by Sinle and Henla about the city of Tianya were sent to the capital of the Nelu Empire.
Hearing the coming, the person on the imperial chair opened his eyes slightly, and a majestic aura suddenly emanated. It turned out that this was the king of the Empire of Nerro, Anru Oying.
"Present it. ”
Ao Ying has the breath of a king in his conversation, which should be cultivated by staying in a high position for a long time.
The minister was also middle-aged, and he seemed to be accustomed to Ao Ying's aura, and calmly submitted the two volumes of secret letters.
After reading the contents of the secret letter carefully, Ao Ying returned it to the high-ranking official and said, "Peko, you can also take a look and see what you think of the master of using source qi to dissolve fog written above?"
The high-ranking official named Peco took the secret letter and read it carefully.
After reading it, Peco was actually shocked, and asked cautiously: "Holy Lord, do you want to point out that this fog master is the famous fog assassin who assassinated many officials in my country decades ago?"
Ao Ying also hesitated and said: "The master of using fog who can quickly kill Idin Yawen under the eyes of Idin Yawu, all I can think of is him, even if it is not him, it should be related to him." ”
"Do you want your subordinates to take a closer look?"
Ao Ying leaned back on the royal chair, tilted his head to think, his fingers tapped on the armrest engraved with the beast, and after a long time, he closed his eyes and said: "No need, since he can serve us now, let the past be buried in history, don't dig it out and ask for trouble." ”
"Yes. ”
In this vortex, there was once a darkest history.
About fifty or sixty years ago. At that time, the foundation of the Neiric Empire was uncertain, and in the capital city of Pervortex, there were undercurrents surging everywhere, and everyone wanted to kill for money.
At that time, there was such an official who secretly cultivated a bunch of first-class master assassins, and the most frightening of them was the assassin codenamed "Long".
It is said that where Takashi appeared, only a thick fog could be seen. The fog had cleared, and the target had died violently. So no one knows what it really is.
However, people always have feelings.
It is rumored that the killer, codenamed Taka, is also in love. And the officials who trained him took away his lover to blackmail him in order to control him well.
After Takashi kills everyone who threatens the official, he discovers that his lover has already been mutilated.
In a fit of rage, Long sought revenge on the official. But the official was a vegetarian and gathered all his Assassins to fight with him.
As for the aftermath, some say that Long has died with the official, some say that he was wounded and fled, and some say that he is still in ambush in the capital.
However, it was the Anlu clan that benefited in the end. Because thanks to this series of assassinations that year, many dissenting bureaucrats were eliminated, and the Anlu clan was able to slowly stabilize their dynasty in the Neroku Empire.
Therefore, seeing that there was no longer a killer of Long at that time, the king at that time did not delve too deeply, and still gradually faded from this matter.
Time has passed, and it is extremely difficult to trace the events of that year, and no one has ever seen Nalong with their own eyes at that time, because all those who have seen it are dead. The current King of Nello, Anru Oying, also said he was reluctant to investigate again.
Then, Ao Ying changed the topic and said, "Then what do you think of Rolle among them?"
Peco: "This son, if he can repel Idin Yawu, he must have his merits, but with this word, it is difficult for his subordinates to judge, if he can see it, it will be the best!"
"Well, I hope he can participate in this selection meeting. ”
Hearing Ao Ying mention the meeting to accompany the prince to the Lanluo Empire, Peco asked bravely: "I wonder if the Holy Lord has chosen which prince to study in the Lanluo Empire?"
"Hmm, are you asking me?" asked Aoying unhappily.
Sure enough, a companion is like a tiger, and if you say the slightest wrong thing, you may be punished.
Peco was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat, waved his hands tremblingly, and knelt down and said, "My subordinates know their mistakes, they shouldn't offend Shengwei, please forgive your sins!"
"Get up! Ao Ying said solemnly, then looked at the two secret letters, thoughtfully, "Leave the secret letters, and call the two princes after you step back." ”
"Yes. Peco swallowed and hurried out of the inner sanctum.
In the middle of the ring, two men in gorgeous costumes hurriedly arrived to meet Aoying.
Both are enviably tall. One of them had a pair of jewel-like eyes, which looked so shiny and arrogant, his handsome face was not the slightest blemish, and his broad chest made people want to touch it.
The other person is full of scholarly spirit, his black hair is meticulously combed on his head, but it also covers his smooth forehead, a pair of clear eyes that are gentle like water, always so smiling, and the slightly raised lips make people feel so kind. Under the white clothes, there is a delicate skin that ordinary people cannot match.
These two are none other than the big and small princes: Anru Deaton and Anru Jason.
After exempting the two brothers, O-Ying gave them two volumes of secret letters, and asked them to exchange them, and then to see what they thought of the same situation, and in different ways of writing.
The eldest prince Deaton took the secret letter, looked at the dense text, smacked his lips secretly, and then pretended to read it.
The second prince, Jason, was different, he happily accepted the secret letter, and said, "I like to learn about exotic customs the most." ”
Ao Ying looked at Jason's happy appearance, and secretly felt guilty in his heart.
After a long time, after Deaton and Jason exchanged secret letters, Oying asked them how they felt.
Deaton didn't read it all to feel anything, he just said, "The Crane Rohr written above is so good, I have to try his skills if I have a chance." ”
Listening to Deaton's words, Oying nodded slightly, and then asked Jason to say how he felt.
"I feel that the two authors of this secret letter should be a little bit at odds, because what they write is complementary. Jason cupped his chin with one hand to his chest, "One of them writes in a way that wants to avoid the master of using the mist, while the other is different, he writes with a lot of force. ”
"Haha, the relationship between the two people has been analyzed from the two volumes of secret letters, and it is not bad. Ao Ying praised.
Then, Ao Ying sighed and said, "Deaton, you go back first, I still have something to discuss with your brother." ”
Deaton withdrew, looking confused.
After seeing Deaton leave, Jason asked, "Father, don't you want to talk to your child about going to the Lanluo Empire?"
Ao Ying bowed his head and nodded ashamedly, then sighed again, and said, "It's useless to be a father! I haven't been able to get rid of the control of the Lanluo Empire for many years, so I was able to get them to offer to let one of your brothers go to their place and imprison him for ten years. ”
The so-called study abroad in the Lanluo Empire is just a pretense for the name of the United States. It turned out that over the years, the development of the Neiric Empire has been a tendency to gradually break away from the control of the great power Ranro Empire. In order to ensure that it can continue to control the Inner Continent Empire and other countries, the Lanluo Empire said that it would send a prince and two young retinues to study with it for ten years, which is actually a hostage.
For the sake of the country's development, this has to be carried out! But King Austria felt that it was even more humiliating to carry it out in secret, so he simply told the whole country that the prince had gone to study to pull up this fig leaf to deceive himself, and by the way, he might find a few capable people to ensure the prince's safety.
Listening to Ao Ying's words, Jason hurriedly stopped him from continuing, and comforted: "Father, I understand everything, needless to say, for the sake of the country, some things must be shared by children." ”
"Of the two brothers, you are the most understanding. Alas, you and your eldest brother are my flesh and blood, and I will be very uncomfortable with either of you. But you also know that your eldest brother is a martial man, and his temper is not so good, and he will definitely not be able to survive in the Lanluo Empire, so I can only think about wronging you. ”
Ao Ying shook his head as he spoke, choking up at one point.
"Hehe, it's all right, Father. It's only been ten years, I don't cry or make trouble, it's gone quickly, and at the same time, let's take it as a grind. Jason smiled innocently, "Maybe in less than ten years, our country will be strong, and then I'll be back early." ”
Ao Ying looked at Jason and smiled, like looking at a piece of jade that had not yet been carved, and he really couldn't bear to push him into the abyss of the unknown. He sighed again and again, lamenting that he was useless and had not been able to protect his ....... properly
