Chapter 16: Old Friends
Ariel Fort is the mother's favorite castle when she was a child, outside the castle is a vast field, I heard my grandfather say that my mother liked to play in the fields when she was a child, and the people in the surrounding villages knew this beautiful and lovely girl, at that time, the kind mother always sympathized with those lowly slaves, and my grandfather educated her a lot, but until now my mother still has no concept of respect and inferiority, which is really distressing kindness.
Trees were planted on both sides of the path, and the shadows cast by the trees on hot weather brought a slight chill to the passers-by, and a troop of cavalry galloped by and raised dust all the way, and the fine dust flew in the wind, floated, and fell slowly.
The soldiers automatically assembled the whole team and returned to the barracks stationed outside the castle, the gate of the castle had already been opened by the servants who had been waiting for a long time to welcome Windsor, until they stopped in front of a small red building in the southwest, Windsor dismounted, Sen followed behind him, the servants outside the door respectfully bent down to open the door for them, and entered the inside, Windsor went straight to the council hall on the third floor without saying a word, the council hall was already full of generals and rich gentry from all over the country, and when they saw Windsor coming back, they got up to say hello to Windsor, Windsor politely returned the salute and came to the empty chief to sit down, On the left is Windsor's grandfather, Marquis Henry Biga, lord of the Southlands.
In recent years, my grandfather's health has become worse and worse, and most of the affairs in the south are handled by Windsor, with excellent political and military ability, Windsor soon took control of the southland, and his noble bloodline also made Windsor the object of generals at all levels in the south, after Windsor sat down, the generals from all over the country couldn't wait to report to him the local situation, and soon Windsor knew the war situation,
"You're saying that the didn't go on the offensive after slaughtering Tonna, but chose to retreat to the border?"
An older general replied,
"Yes, the is smart, the is no longer eager for quick success, but organized and disciplined combat, there must be something strange in this."
Windsor nodded in affirmation of the general's inference, and he looked at a young man at the end of the table,
"Berry, find out who the commander is this time!"
The young man stood up and gave the standard military salute,
"Yes!"
After the meeting, Windsor had dinner with the Marquis, Henry looked at Windsor lovingly, his eyes always showed longing, Windsor knew that this was his grandfather thinking about his mother, he knew that he couldn't delay it any longer, his grandfather's body couldn't wait, after the meal, Windsor stayed at Ariel Fort to rest for the night, and the next day before dawn he led the soldiers to the southland border.
The team marched for a day, not daring to let the soldiers be too tired, Windsor ordered to find the nearest village to rest and replenish food and grass, there was constant news of the border ahead, the took advantage of Windsor's absence to the dragons and seized the ten important towns near the border, which surprised all the Southland soldiers, when did the be so brave and good at fighting?
At this moment, Windsor was discussing with the soldiers what the problem was, and a young man squeezed in outside the door,
"Lord Duke!"
"Berry, have you found out?"
"It's a conspiracy of the king! Lord Duke! It's the king! ”
"What!?"
All the soldiers present were discolored, Windsor was slightly stunned, the king would not hesitate to lose his territory, would he break his wings?
"Lord Duke, the villain disguised himself as a sneaked into them, and soon inquired about the name of the commander, but this commander villain had never heard of it before, and at first the villain thought it was a hero, but, but,"
"Don't stumble! Hurry up! ”
The impulsive general couldn't help but urge Berry,
"Once the villain was wandering outside the commander's tent, a small soldier came and grabbed me and asked me to go in for him to bring the commander's footwater, I didn't expect that I was so lucky that I could enter the command tent on the first day."
"But when I saw the commander's face, I was really shocked, this man should everyone know, he is the king's most trusted personal bodyguard, Moses."
Hearing this, these generals have blown up their nests, and they are all clamoring to cut down this vicious king,
"Lord Duke, if you want me to say, let's not go to the border, just raise troops to surround the royal capital, I have long seen which insidious king is not pleasing to the eye."
"Lord Duke, the king is really vicious to you, how can you say that you are also his own nephew, how many years have you been enthroned? has been using various reasons not to give fiefs, isn't this a lack of heart? I think that the death of the first king may have left a testament to pass on the throne to you, and the king has been suppressing you for so many years, just because he is afraid that you will regain the throne! ”
Windsor pressed his hand and signaled them not to say it again, soldiers, you look at me, I see that you are a little helpless, the king is unkind This is an obvious fact, but the duke just refuses to kill the king and replace. Repatriating all the soldiers, Sen walked up to Windsor and smiled,
"The timing, the heavens-given opportunity, we have to take advantage of it."
Windsor nodded, looked at Sen, and said with the same smile,
"This time it's the king who brought about his own destruction, and I'll clean him up when I've settled the!"
Sen glanced at Windsor deeply, and felt that his happiness at this time was not pretending, he was really happy,
"Letter from the secret agent of the royal capital,"
Windsor listened with great interest,
"The Lucas family was copied for deceiving His Majesty's entire family, Mr. Lucas was exiled, Lady Lydia and Miss Katie were sent to the harem as slave girls, and Cinderella escaped, and it is suspected that she took the Lucas family's treasure map."
"Damn! The king is despicable and shameless! ”
Windsor angrily smashed the baton he had been holding in his hand into two pieces,
"Hurry up and send the people from the royal capital to follow Mr. Lucas all the way so that no one finds out, and Lydia and Katie find our people in the palace to take care of them, and make sure to find Cinderella before the king!"
"Yes!"
Mori was ordered to leave, Windsor could no longer sit still, the king was already impatient to get rid of him, this means of raiding the house seemed to be inevitable, and he had to hurry up to break the cooperation between the king and the.
Came to the border for two or three days, and the tug-of-war with the also went on for two or three days, and there was no breakthrough in the war, Windsor tried to send an elite dressed as a serf into the barracks to assassinate the commander, but a soldier was seen through, the plan failed, and the became more vigilant, just when everyone was at a loss, a young senior general suddenly appeared in front of the's formation, and some people judged that this young man must have a high status among the, maybe there is a father who can affect the battle situation, if he is tied up, there may be unexpected benefitsAfter a few days of observation, Windsor decided to make a dangerous move, and a team of cavalry attacked the commander's tent at night to divert the attention of the, and Windsor personally led the troops to arrest people.
Without further ado, Windsor decided to act that night.
Lurking in the dark woodland, everyone is lying in the grass like a wooden stake, Windsor always pays attention to the camp, the soldiers of the battalion ** go back and forth, it is quiet and seems to be asleep, suddenly there is a scream from the back of the camp, there are fires everywhere, the are fleeing, fighting the fire, the enemy is in a mess, Windsor smirks proudly, high-fives for the number, the soldiers neatly get up and sneak into the camp under the cover of night, there is a big tent in the center of the camp that looks different, It was very delicate and luxurious, not at all like a camp tent for war, but like a noble hunting belt, Windsor judged that this should be the tent of the little white-faced general,
"Fence it off!"
The people inside should not have slept, such a big thing happened outside, he didn't react, this abnormal behavior made Windsor dare not take it lightly, the candle inside jumped, and there were water droplets on the tent, it turned out that he was taking a bath! Windsor opened the curtain of the tent with the spear in his hand,
"Ahh
A woman, snow-white ketones, wet hair, and a few puddles of water on the ground showed that this was a woman who had just finished taking a shower and had not had time to get dressed.
The sudden intruder startled her, but she apparently reacted quickly, and immediately grabbed a wool blanket to wrap her key parts.
"What do you want! I'm Princess Visa! I warn you, there is a price to pay for killing me! ”
The woman wanted to use her princess status to save her life, and she succeeded, and Windsor was really surprised to see her, she didn't expect to capture such a valuable person.
"Looks like you don't remember me at all, lovely camellia"
The princess, who was like a hedgehog a moment ago, immediately turned into a white rabbit when she heard this name, and she threw herself into Windsor's arms.
"Windsor, it's so nice to see you!"
The movement was too violent, and the princess's wool blanket was rubbed off, and Windsor picked it up and wrapped her in embarrassment.
"Cha Cha, can you come with me at ease?"
"Of course!"
Windsor rode the princess with her arms and soon left the' barracks.
