In a secluded mansion in Ironwood, several Crusaders held the gate.

Since the defeat of Rand that day, Aragorn has not moved back to Ironwood, and has been living in this mansion to repair his body, and Richard has only arranged for people to provide him with the necessary materials and a few attendants for him to send.

Richard took Fred and Mills into the courtyard together, and Aragorn was sitting in the pavilion with his eyes closed, looking drunk in the mood of spring, and when he heard Richard coming in, he opened his eyes and asked:

"Richard boy, what are you doing with me again?"

"Huh"

As soon as he finished asking, Aragorn noticed Fred the burly man behind Richard.

"You've got more masters."

Richard did not respond, and could not explain this kind of thing, so he directly opened his mouth and explained his intention to Aragorn.

"Your Majesty Aragon, do you want to go with me to the royal capital this time?"

Aragorn has a lot of secrets hidden in him, and Richard even thinks that the other party may be able to earn the young man in the palace to the northland, which is really as stable as Mount Tai.

"Why am I going to the royal capital like this?"

Aragorn shook his head and declined Richard's invitation.

Others don't know you, it's impossible for someone of Qing's level not to recognize it, and it's not bad to give me a dozen treasures that you left in the royal capital, this is Richard's inner thoughts, and of course it can't be put on the table.

"I'm going to marry your grandchildren... Female, can you give me a point? ”

"Then you call it Zu Zu Zu... Father, I listen. ”

"Zu Zu Zu ... Father, the younger son Richard greets you. ”

Aragorn: "..."

He really didn't expect that Richard would be so shameless when he was a dignified prince.

In the end, he could only hold back the word "roll" to Richard.

Of course, Richard wants this kind of thing, but it also depends on who he is, when facing his subordinates, Richard must always maintain his majesty when showing closeness, but when he sees an old monster like Aragorn, it is not interesting to continue to hold the shelf, it is better to have no face and no skin, it is the right thing to do some practical benefits, not to mention that he is about to marry the Messiah, and it will not suffer a word in terms of seniority.

Seeing that Aragon did not mean to go to the royal capital with him, Richard did not get any benefits, so he slipped away, and Richard had to hurry up and go south, with the sound of "bang" closing the door, only Aragorn who closed his eyes and recuperated in the courtyard remained.

"The point of breaking the game is not in the royal capital..."

…

The team that went south to welcome relatives set off from Tiemu City, although it was a team to welcome relatives, but everyone in the team was armed to the teeth except for some decorations on their bodies.

The champion knights and crusaders would not be affected by an embroidered flower on their chests, and the red dragon, which had been hovering low in the sky, would not be restricted by the big red flower above their heads.

The lords along the way took the initiative to provide convenience for the team, there was enough water and food along the way, and although the team walked quickly, the conditions were not difficult, which was the benefit of the inside line operation.

And the high-profile appearance of the red dragon and the fact that Richard married the Messiah princess superimposed, also made more Northland nobles sober up, originally many nobles who were still under the command of the Lancet family, all had the intention of switching to the Hunter family, looking at this situation, it was only a matter of time before the Lancet family completely declined, even if the conditions of the Hunter family were harsh, it was better than guarding a ship and sinking.

Not only did they take advantage of Richard's southward trip this time, vigorously cooperated, and provided logistics along the way to curry favor, but they had even prepared gifts, regardless of whether they received an invitation or not, and when the princess arrived in Ironwood City, they had to give a gift to show their position.

For these courteous people, whether the other party is looking at the face of the red dragon, or looking at the face of the Messiah, or has already sensed that there will be a big change and wants to find a big tree to enjoy the shade, no matter what kind of mentality the other party holds, Richard will not refuse.

Loyalty or something can be cultivated slowly, as long as the other party joins the system of the Hunter family, it will be coerced forward, it is difficult to jump out of the car, and the troubled times are coming, as long as you have brains, it is impossible to take the initiative to break away from this big tree, and the most uncomfortable thing in the whole process will belong to the Lanster family,

Jaime had smashed several more cups in the Marquis' Mansion in Snowdrift, but unfortunately everything was just incompetent rage, and as the Hunter family showed more and more strength, the declining Lancet family did not even have the courage to make small moves.

Jaime had the intention to do something, taking advantage of Richard's southward welcoming team to find some trouble when it passed through the sphere of influence of Drifting Snow City, but he had just put forward this idea, and was stopped by the old guys of the Lancet family, Jaime was still a little impulsive, these old guys who had lived for dozens of years could see it clearly, and now the objective condition for the existence of the Lancet family is that the kingdom has not fallen, and the rules of the kingdom are still there.

Jaime was originally ambitious to restore the 100,000 Jingbei Army, but in the end, he only barely maintained three legions, and the quality was far worse than before, let alone compared with the Hunter family, everyone was no longer a player of the same level.

Now Jaime is not as strong as when Lint was in power, let alone the power when Marquis Wade was still there, although he is not a puppet, but the power is also subject to greater checks and balances, and some impulsive decisions are difficult to implement, and in the end he can only watch Richard's greeting party swagger past the edge of Drifting Snow City.

…

Zhenbei Pass

The gate was opened early, and there was no defense against the arrival of the Hunter family, and even the Supreme Commander of the River Valley, Legion Commander Dane, was in the team to greet Richard.

Zhenbei Pass, a city built to the north, was originally built to guard against ogres and half-elves in the wilderness, forest savages and other forces, but when Zhenbei Pass was built, it was still the expansion period of the human race, and later the north was basically explored, and the actual significance of Zhenbei Pass was not much.

A big reason why Dane dared to eat a large part of the air was that he felt that there would be no problem with the safety of the river valley, and it was not until Grugersh took the ogre east to trouble the north that Zhenbei Pass was re-emphasized, and the new river valley army was also established with Zhenbei Pass as the center.

Until now, there have been orcs in the north, and the kingdom's attention to Zhenbei Pass has reached a new level, and the kingdom has repeatedly asked Dane to strengthen the defense of Zhenbei Pass, but Dane has put this defense very loosely in the face of Richard, and he has not waited for Richard to get to the place, and found out three miles in advance, the traces of Richard's team, so he ordered his subordinates to open the city gate wide and line up to meet him.

"Lord Richard, this time I went south to marry the princess, but it has raised the face of our northern warriors, I heard that many noble children in the royal capital beat their chests when they heard it."

Strictly speaking, Dane can only be regarded as half of the Northland warriors, and the people in this part of the River Valley not only look down on the nobles of the Northland, but also look down on the people of the royal capital, and the nobles next to the Northland are occasionally regarded as the same Northland barbarians by the nobles of the royal capital, but this does not affect Dane's use to be close to Richard.

"Hahaha, I really love the princess, what's the matter with those royal children."

"It's me who lost my words, Lord Marquis is a man of temperament."

"Brother Dane, let's try one."

Richard handed Dain a new cigarette from Ironwood City, which is also a kind of relationship between a certain type of people, Dane's attitude made Richard very satisfied, the Marquis called the rules and regulations, all the actions showed the meaning of refuge clearly, Richard naturally also had to show a certain degree of closeness, which was a kind of meaning to regard him as his own person.

"Si"

It didn't matter if it was good or not, Dane took it and lit it with a fire fold and enjoyed it with Richard.

In terms of the Hunter family, or the powerful understanding of Richard, in addition to Wren who has a black prison to collect intelligence, it is estimated that Dane will be ranked second, with this level of understanding, coupled with Dane's decisive bet character, there is now Dane's choice to completely fall to Richard, if it is not for a Praetorian Guard army is about to enter Zhenbei Pass, and when the kingdom changes, the defenders of Zhenbei Pass may be able to directly sell the city and directly bring Richard into Bolai City.

…

"This time the matter of going south is important, so I won't stay with the Marquis."

After a short stop in the river valley and expressing his importance to Dane, Richard continued to lead the people south...

…

palace

"Xena, what day is it?"

"My princess, you have to ask several times a day, and Richard has only been on for less than a week, so you are in such a hurry to marry yourself off?"

The Messiah has a gentle temperament and is not majestic when it comes to others, and Senna, as Messiah's personal maid, occasionally dares to joke with the Messiah and make a joke.

"Begging for a beating!"

When Messiah was said by the maid, she immediately blushed and wanted to fight, and Senna also pretended to dodge, and the two became a mess.

"It's normal for Her Royal Highness the princess to look forward to Lord Richard coming to the royal capital, what girl in the kingdom doesn't want to marry Lord Richard, I heard that many men in the theater want to get close to Lord Richard."

"Men? Are there any men who like Richard? ”

"You don't understand this, do you..."

Senna suddenly reacted as she spoke, covering her mouth suddenly, unwilling to say more.

Messiah asked a few curious questions, but Senna had no choice but to pull the topic away.

"Her Royal Highness the princess, let's prepare to marry Lord Richard, Lord Richard is handsome in appearance, strong in strength, he was made a marquis at a young age, and he is still the number one master in the kingdom, which girl doesn't like it."

"So, you want to marry Richard too?"

"I'm here, I'm not a princess in life, and a princess in death, the princess is married to Lord Richard, and I will naturally marry Lord Richard."

"Okay, you dead girl, I'm worried about Richard, see if I don't tear your face."

"Help, help!"

The two of them frolicked and played for a while, and only stopped when they were really tired.

The Messiah sat quietly in her chair again, looking north through the window, as if she wanted to see Richard galloping south...
