Chapter 295: Ordinary Emperor
Lin Xi, who took advantage of the night to leave the Dragon General's Mansion, left the imperial city overnight with a variety of moods.
The only purpose of coming to the Imperial City was to meet Uncle Nicholas and figure out the question that he had already subconsciously answered.
Now that both matters have been resolved, there is no need to stay in the Imperial City any longer.
At dawn, Lynsey stopped at a small inn a hundred miles south of the Imperial City.
Although he came to stay early in the morning, it was the first time that the bearded shopkeeper had seen this kind of thing in 20 years since he opened the shop, but the person who came not only spoke politely and had a beautiful face, but more importantly, he paid the rent as soon as he came up, so he didn't ask more.
Sitting down in her room, Lynsey had time to think back to what had happened last night.
Needless to say, the relationship between the uncle and nephew, even after so much time, as soon as they met, the two of them still couldn't help but burst into tears, what Lin Xi cared about was, how did the uncle live in the enemy country?
It's infuriating that until this time, there were still people who were watching his uncle and the general's mansion without fear, which clearly meant that Abomato had not fully trusted his uncle.
For this reason, Lin Xi was a little worried about his uncle, who must be shouldering a special and important task.
In order to survive in an enemy country under the guise of disguise, how did the covert operation be carried out when there were so many minions? How much risk did the uncle take in this?
Lynsey couldn't help but complain a little about His Majesty Jason, who had only met once.
Now, through a brief conversation with his uncle last night, he has become convinced that his uncle's "defection" does have another hidden meaning.
It is conceivable that the "traitor" incident that made a lot of noise back then was a secret agreement reached by Uncle and Jason in private.
For this reason, in addition to being closely interrogated in the enemy country and being crushed by the slightest carelessness, my uncle also had to leave the Northern Army in near humiliation, and was severely spurned by his comrades-in-arms who had fought side by side closely, and he was infamous on his back, and this double pressure was handed over to his uncle, and His Majesty Jason became the person behind the strategy?
There is not much respect for the royal family, which determines that Lynsey does not respect Majesty Jason like a courtier, but treats him as an equal to his uncle, which makes Lynsey have some complaints about Jason.
......
In the morning, a few guests sparsely descended from the upper floor, and everyone dispersed to occupy a dozen tables in the relatively spacious dining room, and began to eat breakfast.
The breakfast shop prepares noodles with dumplings or fritters or fritters.
Lin Xi had one table for one person, and he got up early and deliberately chose a table by the window to sit down.
Most of the lodgers were businessmen who were doing business along the way, but the table diagonally opposite attracted Linsey's attention.
An old man in brown clothes and white hair had his back to him, and Lin Xi couldn't see his true face clearly, but judging from the snow-white hair, rickety body, and an ordinary wooden cane placed next to the table, the old man must be very old.
The other person at the table happened to be facing her, and Lynsey was able to look at this person closely.
This man is of medium age, medium build, dressed in ordinary clothes, and everything looks decent.
But it was too unobtrusive, but it made Lynsey look at this person a few more times.
This man looked like the old man alone, and it was difficult to guess what he was doing. There is not much elegance, nor does he look like a businessman, until this person accidentally raised his head while eating noodles and was caught by Lin Xi with a pair of eyes, Lin Xi sighed: This person should be easy to face.
Because there is something different about this man's eyes.
If these eyes don't look at others, maybe others won't notice anything, but when Lin Xi looked over, this person happened to look back at Lin Xi as well.
At that time, a pair of eyes contained too many things, but these complicated things contained in them did not make these eyes cloudy, on the contrary, as if after years of accumulation, they washed away the lead in the world and returned to the basics, these eyes were full of calm and peace without being shocked by honor and disgrace.
and a looming momentum.
The momentum of the person who belongs to the superior.
The time was short, and Lynsey only glanced at it in a hurry, but he trusted his own judgment.
Therefore, Lin Xi thought that this person came out after being disguised and disguised, and Lin Xi didn't know what the specific identity was, but the momentum of this superior person was clearly only available to high-ranking officials.
Faintly, Lin Xi actually had a feeling of déjà vu in her heart.
But the search in his mind has been circling for a long time, except for the fact that when the two looked at each other just now, this person smiled at him, and the two seemed to really have no intersection in their lives.
After eating the noodles, Lin Xi got up to pay the bill, glanced at the elderly man and the middle-aged man again, and then left the hotel.
Although there were still doubts in his heart, it was clear that these two people were not his enemies, and he had no intention of continuing to investigate.
After Lynsey left, the table began to talk in a low voice, but no one at the nearest table could hear what they were talking about.
It was as if there was a naturally invisible cover surrounding the table, and even the sound could not be heard.
"Your Majesty. ”
The first two words spoken by the old man are enough to break the earth!
As we all know, King Wetut of Abomato is famous for his pomp and circumstance, in other words, with his character who always likes to enjoy the feeling of the stars holding the moon, he will never disguise himself for a private visit!
But the old man clearly called the middle-aged man "Your Majesty"!
In the Yaning Continent, there is only one of the five empires and the lord of one country who deserves the word "Your Majesty". His Majesty of the three empires, the medium-sized state of Metz, the smaller state of Behm, and the small state of Mellon, would definitely not risk their lives to Apomato, and only a dying old man was with him.
"Is Isi-sensei curious about the young man who just left?" The middle-aged man picked up a bunch of noodles with his chopsticks and swallowed it unhurriedly, not losing his appetite because of this extremely ordinary thing.
Being able to call a middle-aged man a teacher shows the dignity of this old man's identity.
And the identity of middle-aged men is even more prominent.
His Majesty Jason of the dignified Noqi Empire actually disguised himself and only followed an old man with him, and arrived in the territory of the enemy country of Abomato!
No wonder when Lin Xi faced the middle-aged man just now, he got the feeling that he had seen this middle-aged man from his eyes, coupled with that innate momentum, if he told Lin Xi the identity of Jason, Lin Xi would definitely suddenly realize.
"Yes, this young man's name is Linsy?" the old man asked, admitting.
"Well, we actually met him last night. ”
"Yes, the world regards General Nicholas as a traitor, as a nephew, he didn't believe it, and he did everything possible to come to the Dragon General's Mansion, and now, he should be more determined in his original idea. Issy said.
"So, he should be more upset with me now. Jason smiled wryly.
"This young man is of great strength and alert, but he doesn't know what his temperament is, you must know that General Nicholas's secret identity at this moment must not be revealed. Issy looked worried.
In the entire continent, except for him and His Majesty before, only Hilario and Nicholas, who "defected" to the Noqi Empire, knew the true purpose of "defection".
Hilario, the former commander of the Dragon Knights of Neo City, finally defected to the enemy country of Abomato with a thousand dragons;
Nicholas, the former commander of the Heavy Knights of the Northern Army and the acting supreme commander of the city of Neo, also defected to Apomato.
But how did the world know that these two people were loyal and patriotic generals!
In order to break into the enemy army, Jason and Issy did not hesitate to sacrifice a thousand dragons in order to let the two "escape".
Later, the two became traitors in people's mouths and were spurned by the world. At the moment, when the matter is not over, the two of them can only continue to carry this kind of infamy.
In fact, Hilario can't see the day when he returns home after recovering his reputation. Just half a year ago, he was killed directly in Abomato's mansion after being infiltrated by patriotic warriors of the Noqi Empire.
For now, observing Abomato's movements in order to pinpoint the undercurrents of increasingly mundane activity depends on Nicholas.
That's why Issy is very worried about Nicholas' safety. The safety of Nicholas alone is related to the millions of civilians in Nicholas. When the undercurrent was about to wreak havoc on the mainland, not only did the folk martial arts masters fight hard, but the royal family has also been thinking about countermeasures, and Nicholas's "defection incident" is one of the countermeasures.
Although Lynsey is Nicholas's nephew, there is always a chance that if the news is revealed, all the work will be lost, and Issy naturally does not want to do this.
"Don't worry about that, teacher. Jason smiled slightly, "I believe the teacher has also seen Lindsy's performance in the Noqi time, especially in the army, although he was the youngest at that time, he was worthy of the word the bravest and most loyal soldier! If it weren't for the influence of Nicholas, his achievements in the army would have been greater and more prominent." Except for the army, he has also done well in other aspects, he is a young man with very strong willpower, and he will definitely not tell the truth about Nicholas's defection!"
Jason's words were categorical, and they also dispelled the last doubts that Old Man Issy had in his heart.
In fact, when he learned of his mission, Nicholas agreed and begged His Majesty Jason to take care of his nephew Lindsey if necessary.
Therefore, Lynsey still doesn't know that many of the things he has done have actually been known by Jason and Old Man Issy.
It's just that the care of the year has been kept on watching, because many troubles have been solved by Lin Xi himself, even if it can't be solved, either the four old men of the empire intervened, or Lin Xi himself was very smart not to touch it for the time being, until in the end, care turned into watching and then into appreciation.
Yes, Jason admires Lynsey and loves talent.
Although in addition to cultivating, Lin Xi targeted the two major official families with great momentum: the Minister of Agriculture, Count Georgis, and the Minister of the Interior, Marquis Thomas.
"Oh, by the way, Your Majesty must be curious about Lynsey's identity too, right?" asked Issy, as if something had come to mind.
At that time, when Nicholas pleaded with Jason to take care of Lindsy, he did not explain Lindsy's identity and background, and later, Issy, like Thomas and Georgis, called up Lindsy's file through Chulin Academy, but found that there was a blank about his identity, and it became a mystery where Lindsey came from and what kind of family he came from.
Fortunately, like Thomas, who was eager for revenge, he had to find out Lynsey's identity clearly, and Issy was just curious and didn't dig deeper, otherwise, with the strength of the empire, it would not be so difficult to really find out Lynsey's true identity.
In this, Jason's attitude is crucial.
General Nicholas didn't say, he didn't ask, and he wasn't interested in looking into it afterwards.
Old Issy now asked the question again, apparently interested.
"It's a little curious," Jason continued to eliminate the noodles in the bowl, his voice inevitably a little slurred, "However, I believe in Nicholas, and I also believe in Chris and the others, and the young people who are unanimously optimistic about each other, whether they are talented or have a good heart, should be superior." As for his family background, it should involve secrets, and it is not good for us to interfere with it. ”
Issy looked at the man who was eating noodles and did not have the slightest majesty of a great king, smiled slightly, and stopped wasting time on this topic.
Lynsey, who walked out of the hotel, didn't know that he was quite dissatisfied with Jason, but he had already received Jason's attention, and what he didn't know was that last night his uncle Nicholas hurriedly said that he wanted him to go back to the army, and Jason was already doing it.
Perhaps, it won't be long before he returns to the Northern Legion again and mounts his warhorse.
His opponent could be Kaiser, the first general of Abomato, who still hadn't fully believed in his uncle, or his uncle.
