Volume II Chapter 56 The Citizens' Assembly Begins

"Gollum ......" A hunger signal came from his abdomen, waking Xue Zong up from his dream, no matter how big a hero is, he has to eat. Now that I think about it, the wild vegetables that Anna found were actually quite delicious. Forget it and go back.

"Now that I think of me, it's impossible, I have the ability to find food by myself. Anna said with an unhappy face.

"I said, Miss Anna, I was in a hurry before, and I was so offended, so forgive me this time. Xue Zong said and arched his waist with a smile on his face.

Anna's cheeks were slightly red, and she said, "I really can't help it, since you said so, then I will forgive you this time, next time I am against Miss Ben, don't expect me to be merciful." “

Anna handed the lotus leaves wrapped in various wild vegetables and fruits to Xue Zong, for some reason, Xue Zong actually felt a sourness, he looked at Anna's innocent smiling face, and a sense of gratitude arose.

When the world is unfair to you, you can show your true feelings.

"Anna. “

"What's wrong?"

"I find that when you don't lose your temper, you seem to be quite cute. “

"Ah, all of a sudden, what a strange thing, you, you, there's not enough firewood, I'll go find some. After saying that, he turned around shyly and ran away.

"Really, it's such a hooligan to say such embarrassing things all of a sudden. The girl gently pinched her cheeks, reflecting the lake, which was even more pure and beautiful.

"Me, is it cute?"

——

Athens, the secret room of the Ruda family.

"Everything is ready, just wait for you to marry the princess, and the power of this Athens will be our Ruda family. “

"What about the news of the Ottoman Empire?"

"No problem, just waiting to be with you inside and out, and succeed in one fell swoop. “

"How powerful are we?"

"I have raised a loyal group of sworn friends who will serve you to the death. “

"Hmm. After listening to his brother Lu Dakang's report, Lu Dale nodded with satisfaction.

"Brother, after the deed is completed, you will be the second-in-command of Athens, I know you like that Ye Yuzhe, and when Xue Zong dies, she will be yours at that time. “

"Brother Xie, no, my king. Lu Dakang bowed respectfully.

Just when the two of them were proud, they suddenly heard Xiao Si come in in a panic and report, "My lord, the assassin sent out has returned." “

"Well, did you bring Xue Zong's head? “

"No, it looks like they've failed. “

"What? impossible!" Brother Luda looked at the little guy in surprise, how could that Xue Zong become so powerful in just a few months, the two of them were puzzled, could it be that he was really a martial arts genius that was rare in a hundred years, no matter what, he couldn't let him ruin our big things.

Rudale said: "Inform the Ottoman Empire and act in advance. The coup d'état began. ”

——

Royal Palace of Athens.

The situation had reached a time of great urgency, and Changda, the chief of the guard, truthfully reported to Princess Amoxys that the Ruda family had recruited troops and had been involved in all kinds of misdeeds in foreign countries.

The princess also ordered the palace guards to be ready at all times, and informed the border troops to be ready for war at any time.

While both sides were making tense arrangements, Lu Dayan, the elder of the Ruda family, summoned the elders of the other three major families—Chia, Rogge, and Andrea—to meet with them, and wrote to the princess to hold a coming-of-age ceremony in advance and elect the king of Athens.

Their reasons are very good, the Ottoman Empire has been harassing the borders of Athens in recent days, constantly increasing troops on the borders, and not only that, but the internal power of Athens is weakening, and the situation is already at a critical point for survival. It was imperative to elect a representative of Athenian courage to reassure the people.

The princess also knew that there was no doubt that Rudalie was behind everything. Changda wanted to persuade the princess not to agree, but the princess had made up her mind, and finally issued a royal decree: the Athenian citizens' assembly would be held in seven days, during which the first warrior of Athens would be decided, and the council of elders would examine his good character and whether his blood was pure, and if suitable, he would become the king of Athens.

As soon as the news came out, the whole country was boiling. Far too long has passed since the people were afraid, and Athens may have not had a king, but now the day has come of age for the princess Amosis.

Many citizens burst into tears when they heard the news, and the whole country rejoiced when they slaughtered pigs and sheep, which was undoubtedly the best news for everyone.

At what cost?

It's just a girl's innocent dream and a lifetime of happiness.

And what is all this?

——

Since sending those assassins away, Xue Zong has still practiced each of them, but his mind is no longer on practicing martial arts. Now that he has not only greatly increased his physical strength, but he has also practiced a stunt [Empty Mountain Palm], and it seems that it is time to return to Athens.

"Anna, it's been so long, I've always wanted to ask you, who are you?"

"Why do you ask this all of a sudden?"

Xue Zong explained to Anna his decision to leave for Athens tomorrow and said: "You and I have known each other once, and it is also fate, and I don't know when we will meet today." “

Seeing that Xue Zong was so numb, Anna not only had her heart beating faster, but she endured the throbbing in her heart, and said, "Hmph, it's okay to say a few disgusting words, stinky hooligans are stinky hooligans." ”

Xue Zong smiled and said nothing, he was used to it.

Then Anna crossed her waist and said, "Griffondor, if you want to know who I am, go to Griffondo to find me, and I'll tell you when the time comes." “

——

The day of the Athenian Citizens' Assembly was unprecedented, and today is the most important day in Athens, which is enough to go down in history.

The warriors guarding the main venue are all bright and majestic, and now is the time to show the strength of Athens, and there can be no slack.

On the high platform of the venue, there are two thrones in the center, on the right hand side sits the Athenian princess Amosis, and on the left hand side the throne is empty, which is the throne of the Athenian king.

Emosis was dressed up today, wearing the Queen's Crown, a luxurious white dress, and a variety of exotic gems. Despite this, her complexion was still calm and cold, adding to the sense of majesty.

Sitting with two hanging hands sat the elders of the four great families, as well as the Athenian military minister, needless to say.

Just say that the young and strong young people of each family rub their fists and prepare for the next competition. Although the princess is nominally Rudare's fiancée, if she can defeat her today, she will be the one who will be recognized. After all, the winner is king.

If you can win, you will not only get supreme power, but also a princess as beautiful as the god Athena, and the temptation is simply too great, big enough to make people give up everything.

If the beauty of Amosises is noble and holy, the other girl in the crowd is the darling of the Creator, who is the embodiment of the worldly aura and possesses all the good things in the world, and any beautiful woman would be dwarfed by her. This woman is Ye Yuzhe.

Even with such a grand scene, Ye Zi still wore an apricot yellow flower lotus leaf skirt, without rouge, let alone dressed up. For her, all decoration seems superfluous, and she herself is synonymous with beauty.

Ye Zi was sitting alone in the VIP box on the side of the high platform at the moment. It's no wonder that since Yu Xue Zong has been separated for half a year, how has he been doing? Has his martial arts improved?

The heart of longing is flourishing, but it is disturbed by an uninvited guest.

Lu Dakang coughed lightly, pushed the door and walked into Ye's box. He has coveted the beauty of the leaves for a long time, but he has never been able to get his hands on it, but he still does not give up, and he will try again today.
