Chapter 997: The Name of Righteousness?
"Lyudmila, you seem to know about that monster?"
"I don't know much, but I recorded in my grandmother's and mother's logs that I fought monsters."
"Speaking of which, among the war queens of Gistadt, only the Lord of Frozen Ripples has been replaced by generations."
"It's not really, it's just that I'm lucky to have been chosen by Lafias for three generations in a row, but it's TOEFL, because I have the information left by my grandmother and mother, and I have a little more understanding of monsters."
On the way back to the barracks, Roland and Lyudmila chatted one by one, but after talking about monsters, the two had to worry. That monster was obviously not so easy to die, Wu Jian's way of dealing with it was too rough, and even the corpse was just thrown over there.
"I mean, don't you care about the monsters?" Looking at Wu Jian's back, Lyudmila asked dissatisfiedly.
"What is there to worry about? Sooner or later, they'll be cleaned up, probably in a month or two. ”
"Listening to your tone, it seems that you already know their existence?"
"Ah, so don't worry, they can't make big waves."
At this time, Wu Jian turned his head, pointed at Roland and said, "Now, I think you should be more concerned about Lei Qi's identity." Especially Roland, you'll be delighted. ”
Roland was stunned for a while, and only after thinking for a while did he react, Lei Qi was the beautiful girl rescued by Wu Jian To tell the truth, he thought at first that Wu Jian was just in love with someone else (although it was not bad), but now it seems that there is something else hidden.
And so, out of curiosity, as soon as everyone returned to the barracks, Reckie had almost recovered her spirits, and called her out. In a tent that serves as a conference room. In addition to her, there are only Wu Jian, Roland and Lyudmila.
In the "heart-to-heart" with Wu Jian last night, Lei Qi was also convinced by Wu Jian's saying (recruitment), and decided to be honest today. However, Wu Jian already knew, and he also asked Lei Qi to say what he did last night, so now he just wants to be frank with Roland.
"Your Excellency Roland. Don't you have any impression of how I look!? ”
Listening to Leiqi's words, Roland carefully observed Leiqi's appearance - needless to say, that beauty is indeed very familiar, but
"Short blonde hair and blue eyes, if this is the one I am familiar with, it is the dead Prince."
Speaking of the prince, Roland couldn't help but feel sad. It was because of the death of the prince that the king suffered that blow, and was finally plotted by the Duke of Tenardier and the Duke of Gonlon. There is no evidence for this.
Also because of the low ebb, Roland didn't pay attention, and when he talked about the prince, Lacey's face was full of anticipation.
However, Lyudmila also looked at Reki carefully, and suddenly found that the blonde hair and blue eyes were not rare in either the Brunets or the Gistads. Thinking of the prince based on these two points alone, is Roland's thinking too divergent? Isn't it, what else do Reggie and the prince have in common? And Rekie's appearance is also debatable
Then. Lei Qi looked at Wu Jian, who nodded. So she began to speak.
"I lived under the name Regunas, Regunas, to be exact. Estirus. Lovalo. Bastian. Earlobe. Charulu. ”
With Regie's words, the tent fell into a terrifying silence. Both Lyudmila and Roland looked at her in surprise. Especially Roland, if he has something in his hands. Even he would have slipped out of his hands.
Regunas is the first name, Estirus is the honorific title meaning the stars, and Lovaru and Bastian are the surnames given from the ancestors, the last of the flowers. Charlulu is the first king of the kingdom of Brunay, Charluru.
"Isn't this His Royal Highness the First Prince of Brunay? King Brunay's only son," Lyudmila said in horror what the name meant, and looked at Reki as if she had seen a ghost—and that was normal. Because Prince Regunas had died in the previous war with Gistad.
Reggie also knew what Lyudmila was surprised about, so she explained: "I didn't die in the battle of Dinant, but I was rescued by my retainers and fled the battlefield. But when I returned to the royal capital, I found that I had been considered a dead person, and that I was not even able to enter the royal capital due to the interference of the Duke of Gonlon. If I had identified myself at that time, I was afraid that I would have been killed immediately, so I escaped and remain in exile to this day. ”
After learning this fact, Lyudmila kept her mouth shut, although she had served Wu Jian together just now, she didn't want to meddle in this matter.
Reki also knew that the most important thing now was Roland's attitude, and her eyes did not stay on Lyudmila for long before they shifted to Roland.
"As far as I know, His Royal Highness the Prince is a man, and you-"
Roland glanced at Leiqi's small breasts, and quickly fixed his gaze on Leiqi's face, which was undoubtedly a woman.
"You're a woman, and I have to admit that I was blinded at first. In terms of appearance, you and the prince are printed in the same mold. But that's not enough, do you have any proof of who you are? ”
Roland's sharp eyes looked directly into Regien's eyes, but the latter was not afraid, looked back, and then said, "Your Excellency Roland, I don't know if you remember. You taught me my first sword lesson. ”
Roland nodded, but his expression remained the same, because although this is not something that everyone knows, it is also known by just checking it.
Lei Qi also knew, so she continued: "You also taught the second and third sword lessons after that. Then you have a task, and the fourth and fifth are given to someone else, and then from the sixth"
As Regie spoke, Roland nodded his head repeatedly, but his expression remained the same. To be honest, Reggie remembered the time and content of the class and surprised him, but this was also a secret from someone who had a heart, so he still wouldn't let his guard down.
"After learning swordsmanship from the world's best knight. My self-confidence swelled, and I was told to compete in the palace, so I was very arrogant during that time, and I didn't even take the knights of the guard seriously, and there were cases of insults. At the time, you thought it wouldn't work. But you can't rebuke me in front of everyone. He secretly took me out of the palace and competed with a child. By the way, I remember that the man's name was "
"You"
Finally, Roland appeared with a touch. This matter is known only to him and the prince, and with his character, even if he secretly takes the prince out of the palace, it is just a walk around. Even the child, an orphan of his comrade-in-arms, now follows him as a knight. Moreover, the kid didn't know who Reki was at the time. Also, when he reported the names of the two people, they were both pseudonyms.
But then again. In fact, Roland recognized Reichie when he said his name, and the reason why he refused to let go was just his stubbornness (obsessive-compulsive disorder?). )。 Now that Reichie said something that technically only the two of them knew, he believed it.
"Prince—no, Your Highness Recky! Roland is rude! ”
After confirming this, Roland immediately knelt down on one knee for Leiqi, and Leiqi hurriedly helped him up.
"By the way, Your Highness Ricky, the news of your death was first announced. What's going on? ”
Although he had already heard a rough talk from Reich just now, Roland still had to understand in detail the causes and consequences of Reich's exile.
"That's it. The Duke of Tenadier and the Duke of Gunlon. If it is on the battlefield, even if it is an unnatural death, it can be insisted that it was killed in battle. ”
Sure enough, it was the two of them - a clear light flashed in Roland's eyes, after this invasion of the M'Orginer Kingdom, he couldn't tolerate those two people anymore.
"Speaking of which, why are you a girl? If it's the prince's half-sister, is it more acceptable? Lyudmila couldn't help but ask, such a thing as a woman dressing up as a man is always a bit romantic for a girl.
But that's why Lacey is a bit hard to talk about. I saw her bow her head and replied hesitantly: "It's for my mother, and for me." In Brunay, the princess who gave birth to a daughter was despised. Also, the princess's right to inherit the throne is extremely low, so it can be said that there is none"
"That's why you are allowed to dress as a man, although King Brunay has only one heir. But it is difficult for a daughter to inherit the throne. ”
King Brunay, seeing Brunay's crumbling appearance, Lyudmila was still a little despised in her heart. But now it has changed, and I heard that he fell after hearing that his son (daughter) died, so it seems that it was only because he paid too much attention to family affection. Although this is actually unqualified for a king, he does a good job as a father. And he only has one daughter (son) from Leiqi, so of course he values it.
Speaking of this, Leiqi's shoulders shook with anger and sadness: "After that, although I also considered returning to the palace, I was hindered by the Duke of Ganglong, and even the king could not enter, and even Xia Nu was lost. Whoever you ask for it will be the same as you say, so it's basically impossible for me to be trusted. ”
Her father fell, and even her only cronies were lost, and she was left here alone, almost taken as a slave, and it was thanks to her that she could not hold back her tears. So no one blamed her for her shoulders shaking at this time, but they all fell silent, leaving a space for her.
After a while, Roland asked in a deep voice: "I have a general understanding of the matter, the reason why Ganglong stayed in the royal capital is to ensure that His Royal Highness Lei Qi will not return to the royal capital, and the funeral of the 'prince' was held in a hurry before in order to implement the death of the 'prince'!" Mean guys! But why are you here, Your Highness Reckie? ”
"It's Shanu - she's my confidant, and she's the one who saved me from the battlefield. And thanks to the fact that she taught me all sorts of things, even I could travel alone, and her hometown was in Aenes—and she told me that if I couldn't get into the royal capital, then I would be fine here. Moreover, the northern and western parts of Brunay, as well as the southern part of the country, were closely monitored by the Dukes of Ganglon and Tenadiere. It can't be considered safe in any way. ”
"Your Excellency Xanu?"
You don't have to ask to know that she must have sacrificed. But he protected his master with his life and pointed out the clear way, and Roland was also in awe.
There is no need to ask more about the rest of the matter, whether Reki who came to Aenes plans to live in seclusion here or something. At this time, the army of M'Ogener attacked, and she also fell into the realm of fleeing again, and then she was rescued by Wu Jian.
Is the problem with you!?
Lyudmila glared at Wu Jian fiercely, and now that he thought about it, his various actions revealed that he actually knew Leiqi's identity and even knew that she was here. But even so, he pushed Reki away.
"Bastard! You actually gave her to" Lyudmila leaned into Wu Jian's ear and whispered a reprimand.
Although inaudible. But Lacey seemed to know what Lyudmila was talking about, and thinking of the madness of last night and this morning, her face couldn't help but turn red and she lowered her head.
Roland didn't know a few of them, but he instinctively sensed that it would be a trouble to dig deeper - if it was before Zhao Yun and Iskandar made a big move, maybe he would have to warn Wu Jian. But now he also understands that Wu Jian can't be provoked, and even Lei Qi has to rely on Wu Jian to regain his rightful one, although he is upright, he is not a fool.
"Ahem. Her Royal Highness, Count, what are we to do now? Roland asked.
How?
It depends on what Wu Jian thinks, and Lei Qi looked at it for the first time.
"What do you think?" Wu Jian asked rhetorically.
"I don't think I'm in a hurry to announce the identity of Her Highness Reckie. In the name of Her Highness Reccle, the other nobles should be secretly called upon to fight against the Duke of Gon and the Duke of Tenadie. Although I believe that your strength can defeat them, this situation still requires the name of righteousness. Don't act rashly until you have the approval of many nobles! ”
"Huh? It was a real surprise, I thought you would just hug Lacey and hit her. I didn't expect to do this kind of trick. Wu Jian said funny.
"If it's for Her Highness Reich. My personal reputation is nothing. Roland closed his eyes and said.
Lord Roland's Reichie looked at him excitedly.
"Then let's go back first."
The crowd had no opinion, so the army drove back to Alsace - Lyudmila was also with it. If her army came to Brunai and went back without doing anything, even those soldiers felt bad, so they just saw it to the end and saw what tricks Wu Jian could play, the lords decided to stay for a while, what else could they do?
But halfway through. They were met by an army, a motley army, as you can see by the colorful banners, and the formation revealed the fact that they did not have a backbone.
When the two armies met, the ragtag army was the first to send a friendly message, and then a dozen nobles came out - led by Count Mashas. He was also accompanied by Bartland as the Alsace representative in place of Wu Jian. And then there was Gerald. Aojie's father, Viscount Auje, and other nobles who own domains.
After the two sides met, Wu Jian learned that this ragtag army had actually come to help, and it was the result of the secret activities of Mashaas and Viscount Ojie. Although it was in the name of repelling the M'Oginer army, it actually came to join Wu Jian.
"Your Excellency Roland is really here!"
"As soon as I heard that His Excellency Roland had also raised troops against the M'Ogener army, the old man came."
"And His Excellency the Battle Princesses of Gistadt."
"The two famous figures are actually headed by Count Warrun, and sure enough, the righteousness is on Count Warrun's side!"
"Your Excellency Roland also supports Count Volune, then it must be the division of justice!"
After the two sides met, most of the conversation revolved around Roland. There is no way, Roland is much more famous than Wu Jian, and his reputation is better. However, after learning that Roland also looked forward to Wu Jian's horse, he also felt that joining Wu Jian's side must be very useful, and many people said on the spot that they wanted to join - anyway, they were not Duke Ganglong and Duke Tenadiye, and it was in the interest to join Wu Jian's side.
"Guys, I have something important to announce!"
Although these nobles are not very powerful, they also came in the name of fighting against the invaders, which is enough to show that they are righteous people. Roland thinks he can be honest with them about Lacey's identity, or strike while the iron is hot.
"Actually, unexpectedly"
After some talking, the old man Mashas said that he was a little stimulated, and he almost fainted, but it was Wu Jian's gust of wind that swept him back up.
However, Viscount Aojie now understands why Wu Jian told him to leave his loyalty to the royal family, it turned out to be here, but just when he was about to take the lead in making a statement, he heard Mashas's words.
"Your Highness Reichie, may I ask if you have any other evidence to prove your identity?"
That's right, the little secret between her and Roland is not convincing.
Reki also understood, so she searched desperately in her little head, and finally excitedly said, "Lutidia! In the underground of the city, in the central city of Lutidia, the territory of the Duke of Ganglon, there is a gate that only the royal family will be taught how to open. Prime Minister Podova also knew about it, and let him be the censor."
This is undoubtedly a strong piece of evidence, and even the moment she said it, Rekie's identity had already been decided. Moreover, Arutissim can be said to be the birthplace of the royal family, and the evidence there is of course very authoritative, if Reki is fake, she will definitely not dare to say so, not to mention that the prime minister also knows this secret.
As a result, led by Viscount Auje, the nobles also expressed their loyalty to Reckie. As soon as she's confirmed, they'll support Reki on the throne - even if it's a woman! (To be continued......)
