Chapter 30: Honest People
Hearing the order of the crown prince Yibu, Zhou Tong just knelt in place, did not move, and did not answer the order.
The prince's words were obviously inconsistent, and on the one hand, he let Lin Yu stand stupidly outside and wait, and on the other hand, he blamed them for not coming in as soon as possible, isn't this vexatious?
With Zhou Tong's position, of course he knows Lin Yu.
He knew that when he was nine years old, Lin Yu, a genius boy who cultivated both magic and martial arts, broke into the old capital Vienna alone, rescued Her Royal Highness the Celestial Princess in the palace, and later in the conquest of the Reims Empire, he picked up three thousand dragon eagle knights of the Reims Empire, and it seems that he has recently led the Southern Federation, which can be described as a young hero.
He didn't know what contradictions there were between the prince and Lin Yu, it stands to reason that Lin Yu saved his sister, it should be his benefactor, why is it like an enemy meeting now?
Zhou Tong is an honest man, he is too lazy to think so much, so if he doesn't know, he doesn't know, and he doesn't bother to think about it.
However, even if the prince did not make trouble unreasonably, Zhou Tong would not transfer troops, even with the power in his hands, he could mobilize 5,000 elite soldiers to the city gate at any time.
The reason is very simple, because the crown prince does not have the power to transfer troops, since a few years ago the prince messed around in the army and almost got the soldiers to mutiny, he no longer has the right to send troops, and he does not even have the prestige to transfer troops.
Even if he is an ordinary civil official, even if he does not have military power, in an emergency, he can still use his prestige to transfer troops and make soldiers obey his orders.
But...... The words of the crown prince, since he had that incident, I am afraid that in the entire Austro-Hungarian Empire, except for his own personal guards, he will not be able to move a single soldier.
Zhou Tong is an honest man, but he is also ashamed of the prince, if the prince was young a few years ago, he could use age as an excuse, but now he has not grown much.
The fifteen-year-old prince is different from the fifteen-year-old boy in the folk, maybe the fifteen-year-old boy in the folk is just a young man, but the prince has received a good education in the royal family since he was a child, and he is the one who will replace the emperor at any time to become the new emperor, how can he be so nonsense?
It is said that the three-year-old looks big, and the seven-year-old looks for life, how this prince is, a discerning person can know it at a glance.
"You...... Why are you still kneeling below, go and transfer troops!" Prince Yibu looked at Zhou Tong who was stunned below, and he didn't get angry, and Zhou Tong didn't carry out his orders this time!
He casually took a cup on the table and was about to throw it out, but after picking it up, after thinking about it, it seemed that he was afraid that his sister would blame him, so he put it down again and continued to say in a hoarse voice: "Before my father was seriously ill, he ordered me to supervise the country, why don't you carry out my orders!"
Zhou Tong is an honest person, not the kind who can speak well, so in the face of the prince's words, he can only be treated with silence.
"You ......" Seeing that Zhou Tong still didn't answer, Prince Yibu felt that he was being despised by him, so this time he was even more angry, and he directly pulled out the sword in his hand, and then got down from the table and made a gesture to cut Zhou Tong.
Seeing the prince acting, the little servant on the side suddenly hugged the prince Yibu from behind, and then said: "The prince is angry, this city gate official was appointed by the eldest princess, and he can't be beheaded!"
Only then did Prince Ibu throw the sword in his hand with "hatred", and he seemed to be very angry.
When the little servant saw that the prince had stopped, he winked at Zhou Tong as if he was flattering, meaning: I stopped the prince and saved your life, you have to be grateful to me.
However, even if Zhou Tong is such an honest person, he can see that the master and servant are acting, and this scene is too fake, and he really can't see it.
The prince exhaled heavily, then looked at the little guy and asked, "Little beast, then you say, what to do with that forest rain outside?"
The little guy named "Little Beast" smiled flatteringly at this time and said: "Otherwise, let them continue to wait, anyway, when they can't wait, they will naturally leave, and when the time comes, they will report to Her Royal Highness the Eldest Princess, saying that they can't wait for the summons, ignore the etiquette, and leave on their own!"
"In this case, even if Her Royal Highness the Celestial Princess wants to blame, it can't blame us. ”
"Well, that's great!" the prince nodded with satisfaction, he didn't believe that these people could stay outside the city for a day.
Zhou Tong is an honest man, he knows that Lin Yu's strength is extraordinary, especially Lin Yu's magic in his hand, which covers his line of sight, he said: "What if Mr. Lin Yu forcibly breaks in?"
"It's better to break in!" cried the little beast clapping his hands, "so that we will take them down in the name of the anti-thieves, and in this case, we will be justified!"
"Yes, yes, take him, if he has any changes, take it directly!" Prince Yibu clapped his hands and laughed, "Zhou Tong, you immediately transfer five thousand soldiers to the city gate to watch, once Lin Yu moves, kill on the spot!"
"Take it?" Zhou Tong shook his head, Lin Yu could single-handedly pick off the three thousand dragon eagle knights of the Lance Empire, and how many troops would he have to deal with the three thousand dragon eagle knights?
Zhou Tong is an honest man, an honest man is embarrassed to lie and flatter the prince, in order not to tell lies, then Zhou Tong can only keep his mouth shut and not speak.
He stopped talking.
"You...... Did you hear it!" Prince Yibu, seeing Zhou Tong kneeling naked, not speaking or moving, it was really wooden!
He had nowhere to be angry if he wanted to, so he could only say: "Forget it, I know that you are unreliable, I will go to the battalion commander of the pioneer battalion Kafei and ask him to draw a few hundred soldiers from the pioneer battalion to me!"
With that, Prince Yibu no longer cared about Zhou Tong, and left directly with the little guy next to him.
Zhou Tong was an honest man, and when he saw that the prince was gone, he stopped kneeling and stood up again.
At this time, he suddenly thought that the magic array on the city wall was still open, and the magician had been on guard on the city wall, although this was the magician that the prince himself went to find, but if the magic of the entire city was blocked, the information from the outside would not be able to penetrate in, and if the war broke out, the information could not be transmitted, and it would be bad!
On the battlefield, every piece of information is exchanged for life, and every piece of intelligence means every minute of change on the battlefield, so to speak, the speed of message transmission is the lifeline in the battlefield!
"No, this matter must be told to Her Royal Highness the Celestial Princess as soon as possible!" Zhou informed that this matter must not be delayed, so he immediately walked towards the military aircraft.
......
......
Princess Lilith is busy today.
The latitude of Tokai County is relatively high, and although it is already late autumn and it is still warm with the sea breeze, according to past experience, the first wave of cold snaps will hit in about a week.
