At night, the city of Loland was silent, the sky was dotted with stars, and only the houses in the city were lit by candlelight. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info There was a rapid sound of horses' hooves in the distance, from far to near, gradually becoming clear.

Lindsay left the palace and did not return to her princess's palace, but rode her horse all the way to the city gates. The gate guards heard the sound of horses' hooves, looked at the source of the sound vigilantly, and were on guard.

Lindsay pulled the reins and stopped at the city gate: "Open the city gate!"

"What people!? The gates are closed, and you have to go out of the city until dawn!" One of the guards pointed at Lindsay on the horse with a short sword, and when it was dark, he didn't see that the person on the horse was the god of war of the Lorain Empire.

The captain of the guard stepped forward with torches in his hand to illuminate the surroundings of the city gate, and when they saw that the people on the horse were shocked, several people quickly knelt on the ground: "Your Royal Highness the eldest princess, I'm really sorry, please forgive us for being unreasonable!"

Lindsay waved the whip in his hand: "It's normal to see clearly when it's dark, open the city gate." I'm going to the barracks!"

"Yes!" The chief guard and his two men hurriedly opened the city gate, and Lindsay drove the horse away with a clamp on his horse's belly.

The military camp was set up deep in the forest north of the city of Loran, for the sake of the secrecy and unknowability of the army. Queen Rodia ordered the forest to be exploited, using all available resources to hide the strength, numbers, and weapons of the army. In addition to the queen herself, the only people who knew the actual situation of Lorraine's army were a few marshals, generals, and Lindsay. Even the second princess, Modi, and the queen's closest prince are unknown.

The route to the barracks is circuitous, and if you don't know how to get there, you're sure to get lost in the forest. Ordinary people did not dare to approach this forest, so Lindsay took advantage of the moonlight to gallop quickly, and soon came to the door of the barracks.

The perimeter of the barracks was made of large stones of different shapes, which were cleverly stacked so that the walls were high and impregnable. One is to fend off foreign enemies trying to infiltrate, and the other is to fend off wild beasts.

Lindsay killed a lot of wolves, tigers and leopards along the way, and she brought these trophies with her. The guards of the night watch had already discovered the coming, and each of them saw Lindsay coming, and hurriedly stepped forward to hold her war horse for Lindsay.

"Your Royal Highness the Eldest Princess, why are you here so late. You didn't encounter any danger along the way, did you!?"

"Hurry up and inform the generals, the eldest princess has arrived!"

The soldiers dismounted while helping the forest race to dismount, and on the other they ran to pass the pass. Lindsay dismounted and threw the loot to the ground: "These will be dealt with by you, the meat will be roasted and eaten, and the fur will be done!" Lindsay, who remained expressionless, followed a soldier into the barracks.

Bonfires were set up on both sides of the road into the barracks to provide light for the darkness and warmth for the cold. Several teams of night patrol soldiers saw Lindsay and hurriedly wanted to salute, but Lindsay waved his hand and was dismissed.

At this moment, three generals quickly walked out of the tent. They were wearing no armor and had a hint of excitement on their faces. The three generals walked up to Lindsay and were about to kneel, but Lindsay hurriedly stopped: "What are you three doing here, this is not in the imperial city, why are you doing this!"

"Hey, hey~~~ It's not like I haven't seen you for a long time, it's not ~!" One of them was a big man with a full beard, thick eyebrows, big eyes, and dark brown curly hair, and the other two generals also laughed.

The bearded man was named Gus, and the two men beside him were his deputies. The taller and thinner one is called Accord, and the other darker, slightly shorter is named Sain. The three of them were very brave on the battlefield, and when there was no battle, they took on the responsibility of training the soldiers.

"Lindsay, what are you doing here!" The generals of the army all know Lindsay's problems, as long as they are not in the imperial city, they are exempt from any rules and etiquette, and they listen to the eldest boss who calls her Her Royal Highness the princess and the eldest princess, how awkward she listens. So, she prescribed. Leaving the palace, everyone is brothers, no status, no rank. After a few times, these big guys got used to it.

Gus looked at the sky, then at Lindsay, who was still expressionless, and asked, "Didn't you celebrate your triumphant return at the palace today?" Why did you come here to mess with our gang of big bosses? ”

Lindsay waved the horsewhip in his hand with a gloomy face: "Don't mention it!" Look ~~ What I brought to you~" She took out two wine jars. The three generals had starry eyes, because of strict military discipline, they hadn't drunk for a long time, how could they not be excited.

Lindsay walked into the tent surrounded by three people, and Gus hurriedly ordered the soldiers to prepare meals. After a while, plates of game are served. Lindsay knocked open the mud seal of the wine jar and poured wine for the three generals, and without waiting for anyone to give in, he made a big bowl himself.

Several people glanced at each other and felt that Lindsey was wrong today, and Gus patted Lindsay on the shoulder: "I said girl~~ What's going on with you?"

Lindsay sighed: "I wanted to take advantage of this triumphant queen to reward Her Majesty, I want to go back to guard the border~ Who knows, the queen not only maybe, but also gave me the five princes of Luolun!" It's useless for me to say anything!"

Everyone was full of black lines, and Gus sighed and shook his head: "Girl, you're not right, no matter how you say it's three years." It's hard to clear the barbarians, and you're going to run there. If you think about it with your kneecaps, you know that Her Majesty definitely disagrees~!"

"Tsk!" Lindsay frowned and looked at Gus: "I'm here to relieve my troubles, why are you exactly the same tone as the prince!" Besides, I'm leaving~ No one should drink this wine!" With that, Lindsay stood up and picked up the two jugs of good wine. The three of them hurriedly persuaded Lindsay to come back, and this wine has just been drunk before it is satisfied!

In the tent, there were bursts of laughter from time to time. The patrolmen who passed by looked at each other and smiled, and they were all infected by their joy. Lindsay was drinking with three people while discussing the dynamics of several small countries on the border, which extended to military training and so on. A few people talked freely, and they chatted all night.

The sun and moon alternate, and the sun rises slowly. The warm sun shines on the earth, and it's the beginning of a new day. In the tent of the barracks, there were two people lying on the ground, and if you looked closely, it was Accord and Sain, while Lindsay and Gus were lying on the table and taking a nap.

When the sun hit Lindsay's cheeks, she wrinkled her brow slightly. There was a faint birdsong in her ears, and Lindsay opened her eyes and shook her head a little painfully. After relenting and walking out of the big tent, the guards who had been exercising in the morning saw Lindsay saying goodbye to her. Lindsay nodded: "A few of you go in and help the three generals back to their tents to rest, I'm going back." ”

"Please rest assured, Your Highness the Princess!" The squad leader bowed and replied, and ordered the six soldiers to enter the tent and send the unconscious three generals back to the camp to rest, and then the squad leader took out Lindsay's war horse and helped Lindsay to get on the horse: "Your Royal Highness, Princess, please be careful along the way!"

Lindsay nodded, and galloped away with a clamp on the horse's belly. She didn't stop along the way, and went straight to her princess's mansion in the city. When the doorman saw Lindsay returning home, he hurriedly grabbed the war horse: "Your Highness, welcome back to the house!"

"Hmm!" Lindsay dismounted, the doorman beside her wrinkling his nose. Lindsay smelled of alcohol and had no energy on her face. Several female officers quickly washed up Lindsey and prepared hot water for bathing. After Lindsay was refreshed, she fell asleep in bed......

When I opened my eyes again, the moon hung in the air. Lindsay stretched and sat up, "When?" The huge bedroom was empty, but when she asked, a deep and magnetic voice sounded: "It's midnight...... Her Royal Highness the Princess. ”

"Come out!" Lindsay's eyes glanced into the shadows, and then, a tall figure stepped out of the corner. I saw that this person had long flowing hair that reached his waist, and it turned out to be silver hair, shining in the moonlight. The resolute face could not be expressed, and under the stylish sword eyebrows, a pair of phoenix eyes were blazing. The man was dressed lightly and in a black power suit. He wears two short swords on his waist. At this moment, his lips were pursed, and his brow was slightly furrowed.

"Dick, help me up." Lindsay held out her hand, and Dick gently lifted Lindsay's hand to her feet. Lindsay, who had a hangover, walked a little shaky, and Dick sighed and whispered, "Please forgive me for being rude." Without waiting for Lindsay to react, he picked her up horizontally and led her to the table where she lay on the stool.

Dick, Lindsay's shadow guard. Shadow Guard specializes in protecting Lindsay's safety, and no matter how big something happens, Shadow Guard will only prioritize Lindsay's safety. Her princess's mansion and the palace have arranged shadow guards, and Dick in front of her is the shadow guard chief who leads the shadow guards. Only the queen knew about their existence, and it was her intention to send someone to secretly protect Lindsay. As the saying goes, it's easy to dodge an open gun, but it's hard to defend against a dark arrow. She is impenetrable in her protection of this daughter......

Dick snapped his fingers, and the door to Lindsay's bedroom was gently pushed open. Several female officials divided labor and sorted out for Lindsay in an orderly manner, and after grooming, the female officers exited the room, followed by several female officers entered, the difference was that they held cooked porridge and exquisite side dishes in their hands. Within a few moments, a round table was filled.

Lindsay frowned, a little sick to his stomach: "Dick, remove these." Instead of obeying the order, Dick served her a bowl of porridge: "You slept all day and missed three meals. Dick looked at a few female officials and shook their heads, and several people retreated: "Dick, you are my shadow guard, not my housekeeper!" Hmm...... Dick took advantage of Lindsay's words to deliver a spoonful of porridge into Lindsay's mouth.

In the princess's mansion and the palace's dormitory, Lindsay also ordered everyone to put aside all etiquette. She hates these things the most, but she didn't expect it, because she hates this person and makes her subordinates into the habit of not being big or small. Lindsay looked at Dick's hateful teeth, but when she took a bite of porridge, she realized that she was hungry.

After drinking two large bowls of porridge, Lindsay's churning stomach finally got much better, and he also had strength. She stepped out of the bedroom and looked at the sky, smiling slightly. The sky is full of stars, and everything is silent. Suddenly, she was in a state of interest, and turned back to the room to pick up the harp that was sitting beside the bed, but as soon as she stepped out of the threshold, Dick hurriedly grabbed Lindsay: "It's windy." He spoke softly, and Dick draped his coat over Lindsay's body before letting Lindsay go out.

The two of them came all the way to the courtyard in the corridor, and the huge courtyard was green, with ancient trees and flowers. The rockery and fountain are particularly elegant and exquisite by the hands of skilled craftsmen. In the center of the courtyard is a gazebo, which is made of white marble and is exquisitely crafted and finely carved. At night, a breeze blows, with a faint floral scent. The leaves and branches of the trees flutter in the wind and make a rustling sound.

Dick helped Lindsay up the steps of the gazebo, where a stone table and bench were placed in the center. Lindsay Ann sat next to her and set up the piano...... Dick didn't say anything, beckoned, and summoned a shadow guard. He whispered something in Shadowguard's ear, and then Shadowguard vanished in front of Dick.

The fingers moved, and the piano sounded. Dick leaned against the stone pillar and closed his eyes as he listened as the departing Shadow Guard appeared behind them, holding a tray with delicate teapots and small teacups. Seeing this, Dick motioned for the Shadow Guard to leave, and he placed the tray on the stone table and poured Lindsay a cup of tea aside. Lindsay, on the other hand, had already noticed Dick's movements, and a smile appeared on her lips.

Suddenly, Lindsay and Dick's faces froze. Dick's ears moved, as if he had caught something. At that moment, a dark shadow burst out, and a sword appeared behind Lindsay, about to be cut down. Dick leapt to his feet, and the crisp sound of two metals clashing in the air. A muffled grunt followed.

The Assassin's sword was knocked out by Dick, who was easily captured. Dick's strength made Dick frown, puzzled in his heart. Is such a skill running to death?

Dick tore off the cloth on the assassin's face to reveal his face, and after seeing the assassin's face, Dick's anger burned even more fiercely: "The fifth prince of the Raolun Kingdom, Odis, your incompetent father gave you a few dares to assassinate!?" The man was rewarded to the princess's mansion to be Lindsay's husband. For this reason, they did not take this person to heart, and did not expect this laxity......

"Dick~ Don't be embarrassed for him!" Lindsay squinted at Otis and looked at the hatred in his eyes and felt funny: "Bring him here." After saying no more, Lindsay was immersed in the music, and the movements of her fingers became softer and more powerful.

Dick restrained Otis and led him to the gazebo, where he sat him down on a stone bench beside Lindsay.

At the end of the song, Lindsay sets the harp aside. I took a sip of the teacup, and the clear fragrance of tea came from my mouth. Good tea...... Lindsay was amazed. Lindsay looked at Dick: "It seems that the long years of fighting have greatly regressed Princess Ben's piano skills. ”

"No!" Dick hurriedly replied, "Your piano skills are as beautiful as ever. ”

Lindsey smiled and waved his hand at Dick, "Okay, you're tired too." Go down and rest!"

"But ......" Dick looked at Otis worriedly, Lindsay shook his head: "You are a vegetarian for me?~ Okay, go and rest!" I'll look back for you to drink~. Dick didn't refute much, and disappeared in front of them.

Watching Dick disappear, Lindsay showed a helpless but doting smile, Dick, this guy ...... Forget it, since he wants to follow secretly, don't poke him yourself. Sighing slightly, Lindsay said to Otis, "Follow me!"

Otis frowned, not knowing what Lindsay meant, but the current form told him that it was better not to resist. Otis lowered his head and silently followed behind Lindsay, all the way back to Lindsay's dormitory, his heart was very uneasy, he didn't know what Lindsay was going to do when he brought him into the dormitory, although he knew that Loren had always been a feminist country, but ...... Otis has resentment in his eyes, he will not give in, he will definitely not be humble like a concubine, to serve the so-called god of war.

Lindsay didn't know that she was already moving closer to the color demon in Otis's eyes and heart at this moment, she sat on the main seat of her dormitory hall, and whispered to Otis who was standing in front of her with her head bowed: "You can choose the place you like to sit, or, you can choose to kneel, I don't like to look up at others!"

Otis came back to his senses and found that he was already standing on the main hall of the dormitory at the moment, slightly relieved, and when he heard Lindsay's words, he quietly sat on the chair opposite Lindsay, and never said a word.

Lindsay and Otis looked at each other, and Otis's hateful gaze never left Lindsay's face throughout. Lindsay broke the silence and said leisurely: "You hate me?"

"Yes, I hate you! I hate you for ruining my country. ”

Lindsay frowned and asked puzzled, "Hate?" The person who sent the troops was not me~ You also know that when I fought with you, I was at the border. ”

"Same! It's true that it is your two princesses who sent the troops, but you are the god of war of Luolan, and you have ambitions. Although our country lost the battle and ceded land and paid compensation this time, you dare to guarantee that you will not apply to send troops to attack our country?! You gallop on the battlefield, and you are famous for your ruthlessness! Rather than this, it is better to find an opportunity to kill you, because everyone knows that Lorain has today because of you Lindsay!"

"Why do you say this, if it weren't for your betrayal of the covenant in front of you, while I was not in Lorain to recruit troops to attack the empire, would I, Loland, send troops? You all think that I have killed countless people in cold blood and ruthlessly, what do you see when you live in the deep palace? I'm belligerent, but I've never taken the initiative to fight. How can I be ruthless if I don't invade!? Have you ever heard the groans of pain of innocent people, because of the war, their relatives could not be reunited, and those soldiers died on the battlefield! How can you bear it?! Shall we sit back and wait for your invasion to open the gates of the city to welcome you?!" Lindsay's tone was flat, but the sentences went deep into Otis's heart.

Yes, how can you fight back if you don't violate. He has lived in the deep palace for a long time and has not encountered these problems, and even if he has, he has several brothers above him. When will it be his turn?

Seeing that Otis was silent, Lindsay continued: "You must be unwilling to be sacrificed to the palace, so ~ I will let you go back, you are reluctant to save me, whether you choose to return to China, or choose to live by yourself, it is up to you." I will give you enough money to live your life with peace of mind!"

A look of pain appeared in Otis's eyes, which was caught by Lindsay. After a while, Otis bit his lip: "Go back...... It's impossible. Please give me the order to die, I also used a sword on you anyway, give the order!"

Lindsay narrowed his eyes and looked at Otis repeatedly: "It's not difficult to die, but don't you feel guilty of dying worthlessly." Look at you like this, your father, queen and mother also treat you as a pawn at best, it won't be so simple to sacrifice you in, assassinate this king or be an internal response?" Seeing the drastic change in Otis's complexion, Lindsay already had a plan in her heart, put down the teacup and continued: "You have failed......"

Pick up the harp next to you, and the ten fingers are subtly changed. This song is not as melodious as before, and the tone is piercing: "The Forbidden Demon Seal!"

Seeing a few wisps of purple light emanating from between the strings, Lindsay hit the air sound with his backhand, and the energy invaded Otis's body and imprisoned his own internal force layer by layer. Otis shouted in his heart that it was not good, and hurriedly took a few steps back.

The purple light was gone, and Lindsay began to play again: "Remember, I won't let you die, and you can't go back to China, so you will stay in my palace obediently, I won't force you, let alone touch you." Wait until you've figured it out. ”

After thinking about it again, Lindsay looked at Otis who was still on guard when he fell to the ground: "Also, don't try to betray me, otherwise you will die with blood splashed in five steps." The forbidden acupoint magic sound seals your martial arts, as long as you run the internal force, your whole body will be colic, don't try to rush the acupoint. Remind you, don't act rashly, there are the king's shadow guards in every corner of my palace......"

"Yes, if there are shadow guards, why didn't they find me?" Without waiting for Lindsay to finish speaking, a charming female voice suddenly appeared in the palace, Lindsay stared at the place where the voice came from, but did not find a figure, the voice was close and far, and continued: "The shadow guard of the god of war of the Luolan Empire, known as the god of war and ghosts, is nothing more than that!"
