Chapter 38: One Man's War
The horse stood still, Glinus turned over and dismounted, took off the steel helmet on his head and held it in his arms with one hand, this is the etiquette to meet the emperor, but Nero just sneered at this and pursed the corners of his mouth disdainfully, what she hates most is betrayal, and this Glinus is one of her cronies, Seneca or Otto, these of their own cronies eventually betrayed themselves, and the other two have become dead souls, and the only thing left is this Glinus.
"My king is well." Glinus walked to a position about ten meters in front of him, knelt down on one knee and saluted Nero, still calling my king in his mouth, indicating that in his heart, Nero is still the emperor, but he is the main force participating in the encirclement and suppression of Nero, if there is no defection of the Praetorian Guard, the senate will not dare to let go, it is Glinus's decision that has become the last straw of this uprising, therefore, his current behavior is an indescribable irony for Nero.
"Yu Ke has ever treated you poorly?" Nero's voice was very cold, but she still wanted to understand that Glinus's status today had reached the limit of the military world, and she didn't know what else he wanted to pursue, could it be that he wanted to be the emperor? It is also impossible, if he is the mastermind of this rebellion, then how can a person who is about to inherit the king's order salute another emperor? These were the questions that prevented Nero from immediately raising the Primordial Fire in his hand to cut off the other man's head.
"My king has a lot of trust in his ministers, and he has been promoted from an unknown soldier to the governor of the Praetorian Guard, and the ministers are grateful in their hearts, and even if they die, they will not be rewarded. The minister will definitely protect my king. Grinus looked up into Nero's eyes and spoke. Eyes are firm, not fake. At this moment, he has an absolute advantage, and naturally there is no need to cheat, but this remark made Nero sneer again and again, according to what the other party said, not only is it not to rebel, but to be her firm supporter, so what is it at this moment? Could it be that they are rescuers? Even Nero himself found this a little funny.
"Then why are you? Can't Yu be the emperor of Rome because he is a daughter? Nero raised his head, and the spirit of a king naturally emanated. Looking around, no one dared to look at her, after all, she had been the Roman emperor for thirteen years, and at this moment, these Praetorian Guards in front of her could be said to have sworn to their swords since the day they joined the Knights, and they would defend our king in this life, but at this moment, their swords were aimed at the emperor who had sworn allegiance, no matter what the reason, they still felt hot on their faces at this moment. After all, for perfect reasons, it can't change the fact that they betrayed. And at this moment, the secret of Nero's daughter has not been made public, and the people who know the truth are the people present, and it has not been transmitted back to the Roman Empire, and the news has been completely blocked, if the secret of her daughter's body is made public, then even the senate will not get any benefits, but will make the empire turbulent, all they want is wealth and beauty, as for who is the emperor, it doesn't matter to them.
"My king Mingjian, the emperors of Rome have no daughters, this is not what the minister wants, but what the people want, but what the minister cares about in his heart is not so, even if Nero is a daughter in the heart of the minister, it is still the existence of the queen, but the matter has come to this, the minister has a reluctant request, if the king agrees, the minister can raise troops and lead the Janissaries to escort the king back to Rome, kill all reactionaries, and the minister swears by this sword." Grinus said, pulling out the sword in his waist and taking an oath, looking at Nero's gaze a little hotter, but Nero was used to the relationship with his superiors and subordinates, and he was also used to thinking about things as a man in front of them, so he naturally didn't understand the meaning contained in his gaze.
"Will you still be faithful to your oath? Yu Zhi wants to hear what you want. Nero was just a little curious about what medicine Glinus was for to participate in the rebellion, of course, his conditions Nero could not agree, the so-called kings have their own arrogance, subject to others, so even if he becomes an emperor, he is just a puppet, and after the existence of Agrippina, Nero no longer wants to be at the mercy of others.
"The minister asked my king to marry my minister as his wife, from the first moment he saw my king, the minister could not extricate himself, until today, it has been fifteen years, today my king has shown people with the posture of a daughter, I think it is also a renunciation of the throne, please rest assured that as long as my king agrees to the minister's request, the minister will defend the safety of my king with his life, from the day Grinus swore allegiance, he swore that this life is not my king will not marry, and the minister's declaration that day is not to the emperor, but to the woman under the mask." Grinus expressed his thoughts nakedly, he has been waiting for this day for fifteen years, and if he continues to wait like this, he will definitely go crazy, but fortunately, he still waited for this opportunity, and the current situation is all in his favor, in this case, Nero can't not agree, and the Oriental man doesn't know where he fled, obviously, he also gave up Nero, but it doesn't matter, everywhere has been laid by him, and it is difficult to fly at all, At that time, he must let him see his wedding with Nero with his own eyes, whether it is a love scene or a battlefield, he Glinus is the biggest winner.
"Ha Lu haha, Ha Lu Ha, ridiculous, how can Yu marry you? That's what you think about rebellion? Want to raise Yu into your canary? Yu is the emperor, how can Yu be controlled by others, not to mention, Yu also has a heart, draw your sword, die like a knight, Yu no longer wants to see you continue to insult the dignity of knights. "Nero doesn't care about the other person's love at all, she is a person who loves and hates, she only cares about the feelings of the people she cares about, and as for other people, it has nothing to do with her.
"For what? Doesn't my king still understand it now? That slave of the East has abandoned you and fled, only me, only I, Glinus, is your only hope, only I, Glinus, love you so much, why you still don't understand! Grinus roared loudly in disbelief, he Grinus, born in the nobility, handsome in appearance, extraordinary in martial arts, he was known as the rising sun of Rome, and countless women wanted to marry him, and he did not care. Because he knew what he wanted. Whichever point it is. He was a hundred times stronger than the slave from the East, but he lost, he couldn't understand.
"You never understand Yu's heart, you never agree with Yu's art, you just love Yu's beauty, Yu let Lin Xiu escape, Yu has fallen hopelessly in love with him, even if Yu died here today. As long as he can live, Yu has no regrets, and now, he can draw his sword. After Nero finished speaking, he had already raised the primordial fire in his hand, and his eyes were firmly looking at the people in front of him, she was buying time, fighting for time to give Lin Xiu time to escape.
"Ah!!!!!!h Like an angry beast, Grinus knelt on the ground with his head in his hands and cried out in pain, "Impossible, this can't be. You lied to me, you lied to me. You are mine, I will not let others rob you, no, he will not be able to escape at all, I have laid heavy troops on all the roads, unless he comes back here, otherwise he will be dead end, every road is guarded by more than 10,000 heavy soldiers, where do you think he can escape? Glinus looked at Nero in front of him with red eyes, and a smug smile on the corner of his mouth, obviously he was a little crazy.
"Then Yu had to cut off your head first to give him a pass." After Nero finished speaking, his heart was still anxious, and the primordial fire in his hand was slammed into action, bringing up a piece of red light and slashing forward, Glinus knew that he was not Nero's opponent in a single fight, and he had already left the battlefield with two flying bodies.
"Capture the king!" Glinus's body was already sitting on the back of the horse, Nero flew to catch up, but he was still a step slower, as Glinus continued to retreat, there were knights between the two of them, blocking Nero's eyes, although Nero's knife skills were fierce, but there were not a few Praetorian Guards in front of him, even if she killed, she would die of exhaustion, but at this moment she couldn't take care of it so much, the only thing left was to kill, kill everything in front of her, and then she could withdraw to rescue Lin Xiu.
The two knights' spears passed, facing the former emperor, there was still some hesitation, at this moment, Nero flashed like a red flame from the gap between the two spears, she will not have the slightest mercy on her now, the knife in her hand fell, like a red full moon in the air painted a mirror red light, with the head soaring, the body did not pause, one foot on the horse, the golden boots only left a phantom, the next moment, The horse was split in half by the heavy swordsman who rushed up from behind, Nero's body made a 720° rotation in the air, and the horizontal knife cut, and before the heavy swordsman could retract the sword, the armor had already lit up a white light from the middle, and after flashing, it split from the middle like the war horse he had split.
"Lasso!" Glinus greeted, and there were more than a dozen people behind him with net-like nets with iron at all corners and threw them out, and circled around Nero a few times, ready to completely place her inside, Nero was fighting between the seven knights, and the afterglow had already seen that the net was about to be sprinkled over, and the primordial fire flashed red, and Nero then pressed the heavy sword back against the sword, and the body rolled on the ground The next moment the red light rose from the ground, like a blow to the red dragon shooting straight into the sky, and the net bag was also spilled at this time, Nero surrounded the primordial fire around her body in the air, like a goddess scattering flowers, and with her landing, the net pocket also became a short line, sprinkled around her, making her look quite like a fairy descending to earth, but she was wearing a red skirt, her eyes were sharp, more like a fallen angel who disobeyed the call of heaven, the corner of her eyes scanned the surroundings, a knight took advantage of her unpreparedness to kill from behind, Nero's body did not turn, the primordial fire in her hand flipped and stabbed at the back of his body, With a pop, the long sword pierced the opponent in half, and Nero didn't turn around or look back from beginning to end, indifferently pulling out the primordial fire blood in his hand and splashing it on the ground with her sword.
In an instant, the dozens of people who surrounded him were all killed on the spot by Nero like chopping melons and vegetables, and her eyes were still full of anxiety, Glinus blocked all the heavy troops to Nero's rear, which was where Lin Xiu left, it seemed to see through Nero's heart, not afraid that she would run away from other routes, just to prevent her from rescuing Lin Xiu, Nero looked at Glinus, his eyes closed slightly, and the next moment he opened his body, and the red light on his body flashed, and he was already rushing in the direction surrounded by the heavy soldiers. Obviously, she recognized the idea that she was desperate to rescue Lin Xiu.
"Block her!" Grinus's teeth were about to crush, and he didn't want Nero to die here, if Nero died. Then all his layout is simply a joke. He just wanted to get Nero. It's not that he killed Nero, and the most unacceptable thing for him is that Nero would rather give up the chance to escape than save the slave of the eastern country, how can he not be annoyed, surrounded by heavy troops here, shouting to kill the sky, and the nearby villagers have long been hiding far away to take refuge. For this kind of change in the imperial court, it is better for these little people to stay away, maybe their hearts also love Nero and have doubts about the series of statements issued by the senate, but if they are allowed to fight for their lives to protect the emperor, it is absolutely impossible, they don't care who becomes the emperor tomorrow, as long as they can live, this is the demand of the people, sad and lamentable, don't you know that there is no Nero Rome. Where are they still living a good life, but people look at it so narrowly.
It's a kilometer or so away. No one noticed that a little girl walked by with a violin on her back, she was wearing a white lotus root skirt, she looked no more than six or seven years old, her purple hair made her look more peaceful under the night sky, and her little white boots were kicking and walking on the stone road, but she didn't make any sound, in the opposite direction of the others, some people had noticed her existence, but this kind of chaotic moment, so that their little love was deeply buried, or it was important to escape, and they could only pray for this little girl in their hearts.
The little girl didn't take a second look at the people running by around her from beginning to end, walked to the center of the village, looked around, and then under the surprised eyes of others, her feet stomped on the ground, and then like a spirit monkey, a few Pan Teng, staggered on the eaves, and when it fell, it was extremely light, making people look like a swallow cutting water, and then the little girl looked at the scene of thousands of horses galloping in the distance, and seemed to be choosing a more comfortable position. He unloaded the violin in his hand.
Some villagers couldn't help but look back, not understanding why this little girl had such a stretch of hand, and they didn't understand why she would come here at this moment, of course, all this had nothing to do with them, but there were still some people who couldn't help but look in that direction while running away, as if they were expecting something, maybe a miracle, or maybe just pure curiosity.
Nero is not an iron fight after all, at the beginning of the rush is still very fierce, slowly with the decline of physical strength, there are also a few scars on the body, the translucent modification of the skirt in front of the body, has been dyed red, Nero pulled a knight off the horse and hugged him in front of him, with a touch of the original fire in his hand, the knight's body was like a fish without oxygen, lying on the ground softly, and he could only die slowly with his mouth open.
"My king, stop it, we don't want to be my king's enemy, as long as my king agrees to Grinus's request, we are still my king's knights." A knight chief rushed forward on horseback and pleaded bitterly with Nero, they were more or less knowledgeable people, and they were also dissatisfied with Glinus's approach, but now this situation is irreparable, and Glinus is a Roman after all, in their hearts, they prefer to accept Nero marrying Glinus rather than a slave in that eastern country, this is because of the social background and psychological factors, and similarly, he does not want Nero to fall here, in their eyes, Nero is a good emperor, He is a commoner, it can be said that everything today is completely because of Nero's policy, otherwise he may not be able to become an officer of the Praetorian Guard in this life, and now looking at this emperor who is kind to him, the emperor who has sworn allegiance to himself, is not only a little girl, but also has gradually overdrawn his physical strength, and is in danger of falling at any time, he can't help but persuade him after all.
"Knight Yu... There is only one! Nero was like a trapped lion fighting, and the opponent's spear was handed over twice, regardless of the sharpness of the tip of the spear, stretched out Bai Zhi's delicate little hand, and directly grabbed the tip of the spear, don't look at the skin can be broken by blowing, the fingers are slender and delicate, but hold it tightly like this, the opponent's spear can not move forward a bit, Nero didn't care about the blood flowing down his hand, squealed, and shuttled forward, the tip of the spear in her hand made her break it, and when the other party did not react, she stabbed directly into the other party's heart.
The knight in the rear looked at the scene in front of him, the knight chief knew that the moment he died, he was still calling the name of my king, and Nero didn't take another look at it from beginning to end, and threw his body away with one hand, ignoring the injuries on his body, and pointed the primordial fire at the front obliquely, the meaning was obvious, this was a declaration of war, a declaration of war by one person against a legion.
"My king, forgive us for offending, kill!" Another officer shouted out this word with red eyes, knowing that the situation in front of him was inevitable, on the one hand, the military order was like a mountain, and on the other hand, the emperor who had been loyal to him, the best way at present was probably only to capture Nero, but if you want her to be unscathed, this is a little unlikely, after all, they have already killed the red eyes, if it is not for the heart of death, looking at the little girl in front of them who is like a lion, their losses may not know how big Lu Dao should be, and finally couldn't help but snort, The Knights began to charge. (To be continued......)
