Chapter 10: Holy War
Soon after Hong Wu arrived at the Kailuo family, the fourth prince brought people over.
"You're Hongwu?" The fourth prince asked with an unkind face.
"Four Princes!" Charles walked quickly to his side and whispered in his ear, "Hong Wu is a disciple of the Sword Saint, at least he has the strength of the upper rank silver. He was afraid that the fourth prince would be too impulsive and have an irresolvable contradiction with Hong Wu.
"What's wrong with the Sword Saint disciple, can the Sword Saint disciple take someone's wife?" The fourth prince gritted his teeth and said, he didn't know if what Charles said was true or not, but he didn't dare to take risks, if Hong Wu was really the apprentice of the Sword Saint, it would be a matter of destroying his Orges country.
"Serena's marriage should be decided by herself." Hong Wu said lightly.
"Humph! I will report this to my father and leave it to him to decide. The fourth prince didn't dare to do anything with Hongwu, so he gave him a step to go down.
"The old minister is willing to enter the palace with the fourth prince to meet His Majesty the King." Charles then said.
"I'll go with you." Hongwu said that he wanted to solve the matter at once, so as not to have too many dreams at night.
"I'll go too." Serena glanced at Hong Wu and said.
"Humph!" The fourth prince looked at Selina and Hong Wufu singing with their wives, and was angry, so he turned around and left.
Charles had his servants prepare a carriage and take Hongwu and Serena to the palace to meet the king.
The palace was not far from Charles's mansion, and the three of them arrived at the east gate of the palace in a short time. The huge walls made of black stone, and the houses were also made of black stone and other materials, and the whole palace looked very simple and solid.
It's already afternoon. It was long past the time of the last dynasty, Charles took Hongwu and Serena straight to the king's study, there were already guards waiting for them outside the door, and when they saw Charles and the three coming, the guards led the three into the study.
"The old minister knocked on the king's majesty and met His Royal Highness the fourth prince." Charles leaned over and knocked.
"Serena knocks to see His Majesty the King and His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince." Serena also bowed down at the same time.
Only Hong Wu stood aside and arched his hand and said, "Hong Wu has seen His Majesty the King and the Fourth Prince. ”
"Don't kneel down when you see His Majesty the King!" One of the eunuchs beside the king shouted at the tip of his throat, and he saw that Hongwu was indifferent. A few steps forward, a kick at Hong Wu's shin.
"Ouch!" The eunuch screamed, but he didn't kick Hong Wu down. Instead, I felt that my instep had been pierced by countless steel needles.
"Someone! Take him down! The eunuch shouted.
"Don't be rude!" King Osborne's majestic voice came, and the guards who ran in from outside the door retreated respectfully, and the eunuch also limped aside and bowed his head and said nothing.
"You are the Sword Saint Disciple Hongwu? Sure enough, there is a backbone, no wonder you dare to compete with me for Cortana. King Osborne glanced at Hongwu approvingly. Said.
"Serena's marriage should be up to her." Hong Wu said neither humbly nor arrogantly.
"When the king gave him his marriage. She didn't object. King Osborne raised an eyebrow and said.
"If she dares to object, the Kairo family will not exist now." Hong Wu said lightly.
"Okay, Serena, this king will give you another chance, do you choose my son or Hongwu? The king assures you that no matter which one you choose, the king will not embarrass your family. King Osborne said sternly.
"I... I choose Brother Hong. Serena finished. His face was flushed and he lowered his head, it was too embarrassing to say these words in front of Hong Wu.
"Serena. You! The fourth prince beside King Osborne pointed at Serena and couldn't say a word, he really didn't have the face to stay any longer, so he left the study in hatred.
"Hey!" King Osborne sighed, not knowing whether he was lamenting his son's inadequacy or something, he continued: "Hongwu, I can agree to your request, but my words have already been spoken, and you must not let me break my word, otherwise, even if I agree, my subjects will not agree. ”
"What does His Majesty want to do?"
"You have to make some merit to show my subjects. Next month is the five-year holy war, and if you can help us win this holy war, not only will you get Serena, but I will also marry you my princess and marry you personally. Besides, your master sent you out to help the Terrans deal with vampires. "King Osborne made his own demand.
"What is jihad?" Hong Wu asked.
"Every five years, our country has to fight a war with the vampires of the Gross Mountains, and both sides send an army that cannot be reinforced. If they win, we must send 50,000 civilians to them as slaves every year, and if we win, they won't come back to harass us in five years. Charles explained.
"Okay, I promise you!" Hong Wu ignored Charles and Serena, who were looking at him on the side, and directly agreed to King Osborne.
"Okay, this king is waiting to celebrate your achievements." King Osborne said with a smile, if Hongwu wins, it will not only prove that he is a disciple of the Sword Saint, but also calm the Duchy of Olges for five years; If he loses, Hongwu's life will not be guaranteed, and it will be beneficial to the country on both sides and left, so why not do it.
Hong Wu understood what Osborne meant in his heart, but he would do what he wanted, if he could win this war, everyone would believe that he had a Sword Saint Master, and some forces would have to weigh their own strength if they wanted to secretly fight him.
After Hongwu made an agreement with King Osborne, he returned to the Cairo family's mansion with Charles and Serena, and as soon as she arrived home, Serena hurriedly dragged Hongwu to her room.
"Brother Hong, why did you promise His Majesty the King, we have almost never won a holy war." Serena's eyes were full of tears, and she wanted to cry.
"Don't worry! I have a way. Tell me about the situation. Hong Wu gently put his arm around Serena's shoulders and said softly.
"Hmm!" Serena wiped away a handful of tears and continued, "It's not so much a holy war as a slave to the Bloodline. The king knew that he could not win, so he sent some old and sick soldiers every time. But the two sides have regulations that the strength of the generals cannot be lower than the silver level, so the royal family has thought of another way, and the major families take turns to send generals, and this time it is the turn of our Kailuo family. ”
"Why don't you just throw in the towel?" Hong Wu was puzzled, this is equivalent to directly sending 50,000 soldiers to death.
"Because the Bloodlines don't agree." Serena said through gritted teeth.
After Hong Wu figured out the specific situation, he decided to make some preparations, and before leaving, he asked the Charles family to help find out Gost? Brad's news, this world is so big, he alone doesn't know when to find it, and he asked Pangu, Pangu wants to resist the rejection of the Heavenly Dao for him, and he can't be distracted to search for the specific location of Goth.
"Serena, I'll be back in a month." Hong Wu said that there were only more than thirty days left before the holy war, and there was not much time left for Hong Wu.
"Well, you have to be careful." Serena knew that she couldn't do anything good, so she could only silently bless him in her heart.
Hongwu turned over his horse and galloped away, leaving Serena at the door to watch him leave in a daze, until he disappeared.
As soon as Hongwu came out of the city, two fighting fighters who were talking not far from the city gate immediately turned over and chased after Hongwu. Hong Wu rode a wildebeest and walked slowly on the official road, and the two fighters who followed him also followed him unhurriedly.
Hong Wu smiled slightly, and he said to Pangu in his mind: "Teleport!" ”
The two fighters who followed Hongwu saw that Hongwu had disappeared so suddenly, they were stunned, and hurriedly caught up with Hongwu's wildebeest, and then looked around, but there was no trace.
"Did you just see how he disappeared?" One of the fighters asked the other.
"Well... It seems to have disappeared out of thin air. The other fighter stammered.
The two fighters immediately returned to the palace and informed King Osborne of the news.
"Disappearing into thin air? Are you sure? King Osborne asked sternly.
"The subordinates vouch for their heads, and there is no lie." The two fighters knew that this kind of answer was too unbelievable.
"Could it be that he is really the apprentice of the Sword Saint?" King Osborne muttered to himself, and he asked again, "Did he do anything special before he disappeared?" ”
"Peculiar behavior?" The two fighters pondered for a long time, and suddenly, one of the fighters said in surprise: "I thought about it, he seemed to have taken something out and tore it open before he disappeared." ”
The fighter respectfully presented the item he had picked up to Osborne, who picked it up and saw that the cloth-like object was now very tough and transparent, with many strange runes engraved on it.
"Could it be the legendary teleportation reel?" The king whispered. If there had been a Chinese man beside him at this time, he would have recognized that the strange object in the king's hand was nothing more than a plastic bag, and the runes on it were actually a few Chinese characters for "spicy cooked beef".
At night, in the country of Grand, London, in an uninhabited alley, Hong Wu appeared out of thin air.
"Pangu, tell me the location of that pork processing plant." Hong Wu was pressed for time, and he didn't want to spend too much time looking for it.
"When you get out of this alley, someone will take you there."
Hong Wu walked out of the alley a few steps quickly, and he saw a hotly dressed woman beckoning to him on the side of the street, and Hong Wu felt a faint evil aura from her.
"That's you." Hong Wu said secretly, he walked up to the hot woman and hooked her chin and said, "Baby, do you need me to be happy with you tonight?" His tone was very provocative.
The hot foreign girl leaned on Hong Wu's arms, she stroked Hong Wu's cheek, and said in a loud voice: "You're really handsome, I can't bear to eat you." (To be continued!)
