Chapter 213: The Twin Stars Expedition
Xiaolan sat on the edge of the garden pavilion, looking at the colorful lights and shadows rippling on the lake in a daze.
Anyone can see that she has something on her mind.
Peony understood what she was worried about, it had been three days, and Boro still hadn't come back, and Xue Ren was also surprisingly never visited the Peony Pavilion.
"Sister Peony, what's wrong with Miss Xiaolan?" A familiar voice sounded from behind Peony, and I saw Xue Ren wearing neat clothes, a sword inlaid with blue gems at his waist, and two iron stars on his left collar.
Looking at his dress, the peony saw that he was going to go on an expedition as a representative of the Xinghua Kingdom, which was already a custom in the capital every year on the occasion of the New Year.
"It seems that the new year is coming, and the time for you to ascend to the throne is one step closer. ”
"Sister Peony, you should know my ideals. Xue Ren smiled gently at her, as for what was behind the smile, only he, Peony and the opposite on the side understood.
"Is Boro here? I've come to say goodbye to him, and I'm afraid the promise between me and him won't be fulfilled until a long time later. ”
"He hasn't come back yet. Peony replied
"Haven't come back yet?" Xue Ren was also surprised, after all, the task that Boro took over should not be difficult for him.
"There's one thing I think I have to tell you. Peony explained to Xue Ren what He Tong had told about the whisperers in the darkness a few days ago.
After hearing this, Xue Ren began to worry about Boro: "You mean that every time this time, a group of demons will sneak over the high wall and break in?"
"These are all things I was told by a girl who worked for me and used to live in the South End. Peony believed that Xue Ren would dare to say that to him
Xue Ren began to hesitate a little, he also wanted to help Boro now, but his actions a few days ago had angered the king.
Although it was only a small matter, his father punished him harshly, and he grounded himself for three days, until he informed himself that the king wanted him to lead an army to the northwest tundra to suppress the impending chaos there.
In the past, this kind of thing was done by Wu Yong, but after the Northern Campaign a month ago, Wu Yong and hundreds of thousands of troops never returned.
Xiang Zheng naturally understood the king's intentions, but he couldn't say anything, because it was about whether Xinghua could continue to survive on this harsh land.
"The military situation is urgent, and there is still a long way to reach the northwest moat from here. I hope you can set off as soon as possible if your father knows about ......"
"Don't mention him to me" Xue Ren's eyes were full of threat, and his heart trembled. At this moment, he really saw the concept hidden in Xue Ren's heart......
Xiang Zhi stopped talking more, and quickly began to analyze the meaning of the look just now in his lower mind.
"I'm sorry...... I can't do anything about Boro. Xue Ren said to Peony, "But I believe that he will never be defeated by that nameless demon, his ambition is no younger than mine, and he died like this, not only I don't believe it, but he himself may not allow it." ”
Xue Ren smiled at Peony, "When he comes back, please let Sister Peony inform on his behalf." The drinking party I agreed with him would be after I returned. ”
"His Royal Highness's orders, the concubine naturally does not dare to disobey. Peony's easy-going posture before she retracted, and what was standing in front of her at this moment was no longer Xue Ren, but His Royal Highness the Prince of Xinghua Kingdom, and the future king of Xinghua Kingdom.
"Let's go" Xue Ren turned around, and the saber at his waist let out a majestic clash.
A group of warriors dressed in armor and riding on tall horses waited solemnly in the street.
Most of the surrounding residents are just hiding far away, and some may see their relatives in these military brigades.
It's just that at this time, the eyes of the army were all focused on one person, Xue Ren stepped on a war horse covered in iron armor, followed behind him, and held a red order flag in his hand.
"Let's go!"
The whole street can only hear the sound of horses' hooves stepping on the bluestone street, and only the crisp sound of military armor colliding.
Countless girls looked at Xue Ren with a sparkle in their eyes, they didn't know the prince before, but now they know each other.
Long before Xue Ren set out on the expedition, the king had already informed the people of the city in advance.
The army marched into the wide streets of the northwestern city, and at this time, the soldiers in silver and white armor lined up on both sides of the road fell to the ground on one knee, their spears piercing straight into the sky.
"Victory!"
"Victory!"
"Victory!"
Xue Ren marched with the cheers of the troops on both sides, looked around and raised the command flag in his hand again, "Flag is victorious!"
Boro sat in a tent at the south end of the city, drinking broth and roasting a fire.
"What's going on in the city, why is it so lively?"
"Lively?" He Yunlei listened attentively, but heard nothing.
I took a sip of my broth, I couldn't stand the spicy taste at all, but I couldn't stop because of my desire for meat.
"Maybe it's my hallucination. Boro looked at the wall, "Tonight is the last night, and if the demon doesn't show up after tonight, I'll be paid to leave." ”
"Hmm......" He Yunlei was a little stiff, even with the warmth of broth, his body froze at this moment.
"The Exorcist ......" He Yunlei decided to confess their plan to Boro, after all, Boro treated them like this, and even let himself eat meat for two days in a row.
"Don't call me sir, I'm not a nobleman. My name is Boro."
"Boro" He Yunlei took another sip of soup, "I'm sorry, we deceived you." ”
He Yunlei looked at the fire in front of him, "Actually, we didn't come to you for the yellow worm spirit, just like you said when you first came." Yellow bug spirits only appear in the summer."
"Then why are you looking for me?" Bourro had long understood this, but he had always wondered what it was that would make a poor person like them go to great lengths to issue a mission.
"We don't know what it is, but many of us have heard them late at night. He Yunlei recalled what happened at that time, and now his body can still feel cold.
"It sounds like a human being, but if you look closely, you see that it's not like that. We couldn't understand what they were saying. He Yunlei looked at an area in the field in the distance, where there was no field to plant, and where the abandoned people gathered.
"They seem to come here every year, only the next day everyone is safe. At first, I thought it was strange, until I secretly went out with them last year when they appeared...... As a result, I found that ...... the latest chapter of "Hundred Plating" Looking for Flower Spirit Claw Book House" was read for free for the first time.
