Castle Lord!

Lorne simply knelt in front of Zhao Yan with a "plop", and recounted his exploits and low-key deeds in weekdays with a handful of snot and tears. He was able to bend and stretch, and when he saw that Ai Yingsha didn't help him, he knew that he had to ask the city lord to live, so he knelt down very sincerely in front of everyone without fear of losing face.

"Guy who is greedy for life and afraid of death!" Zhao Yan scolded secretly in his heart.

He ignored Lorne and let him continue tugging at his trouser legs. Ai Yingsha didn't want to look at him more, and tilted her head away.

"City Lord! City Lord...... I've dedicated all my life's energy to Ai Sakura City, and I'm confused for a while!"

"Princess! Princess! It seems that the old minister has been loyal for many years, so let's open the net!"

Although Lorne is in a high position, his usual style is indeed different from that of Joel and others. He is thoughtful, low-key, secretive and not ostentatious. No matter how bad things he has done, he has turned his back on people. Seeing him like this at this moment, many onlookers and nobles also sympathized.

There were faint sounds of begging for mercy from the crowd.

Zhao Yan bent down slightly, and politely helped Lorne up, and Lorne was not polite, wiping his nose and wiping his tears

Zhao Yan stared at Lorne's eyes tightly, looked at it for a long time, and then said: "Lorne, although you have the heart of treason, but after all, there is no treason, even so, I can kill you to correct the law." But now, these people who love cherry blossoms are interceding for you, presumably you are still upright on weekdays, so I will spare your life. But remember, your life is with me, and if the people of Sakura no longer support you one day, I can still understand you!

"The words of the people are great, I believe in the people, and at the same time give you a chance, I hope you can also win my trust, the people's trust!"

The righteousness of Zhao Yan's words was awe-inspiring, and every word was based on the people, which couldn't help but make the blood of the audience boil, and they secretly screamed in their hearts and were extremely proud.

Isn't it a matter of pride to have such a leader who values the people?

"City Lord Xie, City Lord Xie, ......"

"But......" Zhao Yan just said this "but", Lorne's heart hung in his throat again. "Death crimes can be avoided, but living crimes cannot be escaped! Lorne, I give you two choices. ”

Lorne didn't speak, and looked at Zhao Yan blankly.

Zhao Yan raised two fingers and put down the first one first, "Remove all your positions in Aiying City, and no longer hire for life, retain the noble title, keep the existing house, and confiscate all the rest of your property to Aiying Castle!"

The second finger was also lowered, "Keep the noble title, keep the existing house, and confiscate all the rest of the property to Ai Sakura Castle, and continue to serve in the Ai Sakura Flame Army." ”

"Which one do you choose?" Zhao Yan stared at Lorne with both eyes, staring at him with chills.

"The second, the second, I'm going to stay in the Ai Sakura Army...... No, it's the love of the Cherry Flame Army!I'll pick the second one!" Lorne replied without much thought. He believes that as long as he still exists in Ai Sakura Castle, he will have a chance to turn over.

"Uncle Lorne, your age is a good time to enjoy your old age, can you afford to stay in the army?"

"Yes! Although the old minister is old, he can continue to contribute to Ai Sakura City, and the old minister will not feel tired even if he is a hundred years old!" Lorne secretly thought that there was nothing tiring about being an officer, and he didn't go into battle to kill the enemy himself.

"Okay!" Zhao Yan clapped his hands and glanced at Lorne approvingly, this glance instantly pulled Lorne who fell into the abyss up, and said: "Lord Lorne is really dedicated to the country and the people, let me admire it kindly, since this is the case, I will respect your choice!"

"Cedar Family!"

"In!" Under Lorne's surprised gaze, Shanke stopped beside him and looked at Zhao Yangong.

Zhao Yan looked at Lorne, then at Shanke, and said, "From today on, Lorne will be your subordinate." As for what position he holds in the Second Army of the Ai Ying Yan Army, and whether he will go into battle to kill the enemy, it depends on your arrangement. ”

After a pause, Shanke said loudly: "Obey!"

In his loud answer, Shanke seemed to hear a "grunting" sound from the side.

"Lorne, still haven't seen your subordinates?" Zhao Yan said.

With Zhao Yan's words, everyone's eyes were focused on Lorne. Lorne was angry and annoyed in the face of many eyes, but he couldn't and couldn't. I had to bow down very reluctantly, facing this subordinate who had been called by myself, and said, "Commander Shanke......"

Fortunately, Shanke didn't embarrass him, but just said "grace" gently.

The ceremony went mostly smoothly, except that at the end of the day, Lorne came out and staged a small episode. However, this little episode did not make any difference, at most it made many people have an extra conversation after dinner.

Not long after the ceremony was dispersed, Shanke saw Zhao Yan in the castle, followed by a man of his age.

"City Lord!" the two short words came out of Sugina's mouth with great passion, and it was obvious that he was still in the excitement of being the commander of the army. Of course, he knew very well in his heart the origin of his army commander, in addition to his loyalty, not to mention Zhao Yan's promotion of himself.

He looked at Zhao Yan as if he saw the biggest benefactor in the world.

In fact, in the eyes of many people, Shanke is lucky, although he has been unknown for many years, he has been called and drunk. But he was promoted by the new and old city lords of Ai Sakura City respectively, one made him a regular army of Ai Sakura, and the other made him a general.

Zhao Yan sat on the office chair, put down the "Millennium History of Aya" in his hand, and said, "Shanke, is there something wrong?"

Shanke clasped his hands into fists and said, "I want to recommend someone to the city lord, and I want him to be the officer of the Ai Yingyan Army!"

Zhao Yan said: "Didn't I say it? You are the commander of the Second Army of the Aiying Yanzi Army, and the appointment and dismissal of the entire Second Army is up to you, and you don't need to ask me." ”

"City Lord, but I want this person I want to recommend to serve as the general staff of the Second Army!"

"Oh?" In Zhao Yan's military system, the general staff is a position below one person and above a thousand people in an army. Zhao Yan looked at the person behind Shanke, how could that person be so respectful of Shanke?

The man had brown hair, a thin green shirt, and a bright look between his eyebrows, as if he would burst out with a bright look at any time. Zhao Yan could see at a glance that this person was a noble son, but in his body, he had a higher arrogance than any noble son.

Zhao Yan said: "Do you have the ability to hold the position of general staff officer?"

The brown-haired man was very calm, his eyes meeting Zhao Yan's gaze, "I'll know if you try it or not." ”

"Try? This is war, how can you try it casually? This is a test of human life, a test of human blood. ”

"That's why I accepted Sugi's invitation to join the army. I don't want to hear the sad news that human lives have been wasted, and I don't want to see with my own eyes the blood of people who would not have had to be shed. ”

"You mean, as long as you're there, you can reduce human blood and save lives that don't have to be sacrificed?"

"Yes!"

Zhao Yan doesn't like arrogant people, but at this moment, Zhao Yan is very interested in this person.

Zhao Yan turned his head, looked at Shanke, and said, "What is your relationship with him?"

Shanke replied very dryly: "There is no relationship, we are not friends, and we do not know each other. ”

Zhao Yan said: "Go on." ”

Shanke glanced at the brown-haired man and said, "His name is Fandiko Muhua, and he is the second son of Lord Cassie Muhua......

As Shanke explained, Vandico stared at Zhao Yan with both eyes, as if he wanted to find something in his eyes. But sadly, he didn't get anything.

Sugiko continued: "He was familiar with military books since he was a child, and he was good at strategy, and at the age of fifteen, he led a dozen servants to exterminate the most rampant thieves in Aisakura Castle at the time for fun. It is said that the bandit had hundreds of people at the beginning, and the leader was even more powerful, and even the regular army of Sakura Castle was reluctant to take the initiative to clash with him. But with his ingenuity, the thieves fell into his trap step by step. In addition, there are many examples that have become good stories for Sakura lovers after dinner. ”

"Haha. Zhao Yan suddenly laughed and said, "Since this is the case, then you must have a good talk with me if you have the opportunity, this must be some thrilling story!"

Shanke asked, "City Lord, have you agreed?"

Shanke asked very carefully, in fact, there was another reason why he wanted to ask Zhao Yan, and that was the identity of Fandiko. He is the son of Cassit, a member of the Muhua family. Everyone knows that when Zhao Yan was the lord of Aiying City, it was the prisoners and Cassit who led the nobles to oppose it. The tragic ending of the prisoner has become a story that the nobles of Ai Sakura never mention, but Cassie has always been by Zhao Yan's side, although Zhao Yan did not belittle him, everyone knows the delicate relationship between them before.

If you want to reuse the people of the Muhua family, this is not something that Shanke can call the shots casually.

Shanke lowered his head after asking, while Vandico looked at Zhao Yan quietly, Zhao Yan and Vandico looked at each other, and a faint smile appeared on their faces. "Yes, of course. You are the commander of the army that I personally selected, and I believe in your strength and loyalty, as well as in your vision. Of course I believe in the person you fancie!"

Zhao Yan's answer made a warm current rise in Shanke's body.

Vandike said: "City Lord, you can ......"

Zhao Yan stretched out his hand, suppressed Fandiko's words, and said, "I only look at the real place when I use people. Vandiko, Shanke trusts you so much, I hope you don't let him down either. ”

"Yes, City Lord!" Vandik lowered his head and bowed to Zhao Yan.

The sky seemed to be bleeding in the crimson sky, and a flock of unclear birds flew in a hurry, as if they were anxious to return home.

Outside Aiying City, Zhao Yan came out of the cave and raised his head, he saw the person he wanted to see.

Zhao Yan's face was heavy, and he walked towards her gently.

It was a slender figure with flowing blonde hair leaning over the trunk of a tree, looking at the blood-red of the sky, as if thinking about something.

Zhao Yan said: "You are really here." ”

Amya said, "You're still here." ”

"Of course I'm coming, because I know you're waiting for me. ”

"But alas, I'm still leaving. ”

"I know that from your indifference and blindness to me, I knew that you would definitely leave. ”

After a pause, Amaya suddenly turned around and did not look at Zhao Yan, but her eyes fell on the hole beside Zhao Yan. Looking at the sky and the earth, it seems to be recalling some story. "I still remember that when I was here, I disturbed your cultivation, but I was almost taken advantage of by you. ”

Thinking of the previous story, all of a sudden, Zhao Yan felt that his current self seemed to be much more mature. He is no longer the young man who has a slippery head, and what is reflected in himself is a kind of youthful and old atmosphere.

Zhao Yan said: "Yes! I wanted to kiss you at that time." ”

Amaya didn't follow Zhao Yan's words, and said, "Actually, I've always wanted to kill you, but because of this hole, I don't want to kill you anymore." ”

"Really, why?"

"Because of this hole, I found out that you are a real man. No matter what the situation, you will not let the woman next to you get hurt. You'd rather die and get hurt yourself than have less care for the women around you. ”

"But ......," Amaya sighed.

Zhao Yan helped her and said, "You still have to go." ”

Amya nodded.

Zhao Yan took a few steps closer to her and said, "Can you not go?"

Amya shook her head.

"Emaya, you know, I love you. I also know that you love me just as much. Zhao Yan stretched out his hand and held Emaya's small hand tightly.

Amaya's face trembled slightly, her eyes looked up gently, Zhao Yan clearly saw a red thread under her eyes, and said, "However, you still love others." ”

Zhao Yan was dumbfounded, Amaya didn't say anything wrong, and he wouldn't deny it, he wouldn't say in front of Amaya that he didn't love other women. It was a lie, and he didn't want to lie to Amya, let alone let Amya stay by his side unhappy.

There are many kinds of women in this world, but none of them want to share their men with other women. But under the concession of the emotional bottom line, some women will choose to compromise, and some women will give up.

Zhao Yan's silence was undoubtedly a tacit acquiescence, and Amaya smiled lossily.

Looking at Ammaya's eyes, Zhao Yan already understood that Amya had chosen to give up.

Zhao Yan no longer stayed, that would be a kind of torture for everyone.

Zhao Yan leaned closer to Amaya and said gently, "Will we see each other again?"

Emaya nodded and said, "Whatever it is." ”

Zhao Yan was silent again, and many words were stuck in his throat, but they were swallowed by Zhao Yan. It's good to swallow, it's good to swallow, it's sadness to swallow, it's tears to swallow.

Zhao Yan stretched out his arms to Amya, Amya's eyes flickered, her face twitched slightly, and she threw herself into Zhao Yan's arms.

Zhao Yan hugged her, and hugged her very tightly, very tightly.

The remnant sun is like blood.

Zhao Yan was looking forward to a heavy snow at this moment, so that his heart could melt with the ice and snow.

All emotions, all nostalgia, are frozen by this ice and snow.

No matter how many years it is sealed, it will not fade its color.

The two of them hugged each other tightly, neither of them spoke, just felt their heartbeats and breathing.

Suddenly, Zhao Yan felt a burst of happiness that he had never felt before, but after the happiness, it was a sour nose.

Maybe without the harassment of outsiders, the two of them will hold like this forever.

But unfortunately, Zijun has already come to the two of them.

"That's enough, Amaya, the princess and father are far away, we need to hurry up. ”

Call!

Amaya let out a deep breath, and then came out of Zhao Yan's arms, lowered her head and breathed again, and said to Zijun: "Go." ”

"Emaya. Zhao Yan stretched out his hand and shouted.

Amya didn't answer Zhao Yan, nor did she turn around, Zi Jun stopped in front of Amya, stared at Zhao Yan coldly, and said, "Yan, that's enough! Didn't you make Amaya sad enough?

Zhao Yan ignored Zijun's accusations, and still looked at Emaya through Zijun.

Hum!

Zi Jun glanced at Zhao Yan, grabbed Amya's hand, and said, "Let's go!"

Amaya nodded slightly at Zijun and ran ahead with him. From the moment she turned around, Amaya didn't look back.

Zhao Yan froze in place, watching the two of them gradually disappear from sight.

Suddenly feeling a mildness on his face, Zhao Yan stretched out his fingers, squeezed them slightly on his face, and put them to his mouth to taste them carefully. He had understood that it was Emaya's tears.

Amaya didn't want to look back, she didn't want Zhao Yan to see her tears.

Whew......

The cold wind gently hit Zhao Yan's body, and suddenly, Zhao Yan looked up as if his heart was cracked, and he raised his head and roared.

Snow, familiar snow.

As Zhao Yan wished, heavy snow fell one after another, but people had quietly left.

After a long pause, Zhao Yan turned around and said, "Come out." ”

Sou!

A green figure fell in front of Zhao Yan, with a comforting smile on his face, the woman's head was slightly tilted, and the clump of hair rippled in the wind.

Namanzi said, "You are as alert as a thief!"

Zhao Yan said: "You just say that I have a dog's nose!"

Namanzi laughed and said, "I don't dare, you are the city lord." ”

A burst of loss appeared on Zhao Yan's face, and he said, "Namanzi, stay!"

Namanzi shuddered, remembering the lingering appearance of Zhao Yan and Emaya just now, and Zhao Yan was talking to himself like this at this moment, it was really easy for people to misunderstand.

"You don't want to marry me too, do you?" said Namanzi jokingly.

But unexpectedly, Zhao Yan's attitude was very serious.

"Namanzi, stay and help me, I need you. ”

Namanzi also put away her smile, calmed down, and said, "Give me a reason." ”

"We share the same ideals, you are at home with the world, drifting away to change the fate of those few, why don't you join me in the grand scheme to change the fate of the majority?"

Namanzi's face was still calm, and she said, "Give me one more reason." ”

Zhao Yan said: "In my heart, women have never been worse than men. ”

A bright smile bloomed on Namanzi's face.
