Chapter 21: Rushing in formation
Five days later, the celebration of the capital of the Heaini Kingdom began.
The civilians of the capital put down their work and went to the streets to swim with their families, and even the guards who had always been rigid and strict put on smiling faces and mingled with the people around them.
Heaney's previous king died a year ago, and Princess Heaney's second princess was appointed to take over the throne.
The cities and towns of the kingdom are not disaster-free, but they are also developing steadily, there are no wars in the country, and the taxes in the capital are not particularly high, which makes many civilians look forward to the future of Queen Heaney's rule.
After all, Queen Heaney is only 19 years old this year, which is too young, and many people are extremely worried about the Heane Kingdom when she ascends the throne.
A year has passed, and there is nothing happier for the people than this.
"Her Majesty is about to march here, get out of the way!"
The words fell in the distance, and at this time, the originally bustling streets were extremely autonomous, and they all stood on both sides of the street and waited.
Those who could not stand on their feet climbed upstairs or on the counter, and everyone greeted Queen Heaney with joy.
In the distance, the sound of musical instruments approached, and it seemed that the Queen's procession was about to arrive.
There were two hooded men on both sides of the street, one of whom bit her red lip and was worried, and she pulled the short robes of the people around her, and even her body trembled a little.
"Xu Mu, you really don't think about it anymore?"
"I've told you a thousand times in the past few days, and I'm not afraid, what are you afraid of?"
"But... You're going to run into the Queen's Formation! That's a capital offense, what if you just fork the knight guard to death. ”
"It's not impossible, but everything is dangerous, and if it can be done, the queen is willing to give me a chance to meet me, and I am sure that you and I will become knights together!"
Ailu was so frightened that she was about to cry: "Don't scare me... It doesn't matter if I'm not a knight candidate, Sreta and I are waiting for you at home... If something does happen to you, what will Sreta and I do?"
Xu Mu sighed, stretched out his hand and pinched Ai Lu's jade hand: "Don't worry! If the queen doesn't give me this opportunity, I will immediately turn around and run! When the crowd is so chaotic, it may not be able to catch me." ”
"How can I put my mind at ease..."
"Remember, if something happens to me, don't run out later, go back to the hotel and take care of Sreta. Xu Mu smiled, "I forcibly left Sleta in the hotel, just in case, after all, Sleta has a direct temperament, and I'm afraid that something will happen to her when the time comes." ”
Ai Lu looked up at Xu Mu and thought seriously for a while: "Okay... But I'm with you!"
"What are you kidding? Don't you understand what I say? How can you be with me, if something happens to me alone, forget it, if you accidentally have an accident with me, then what will Sleta do?" Xu Mu quickly shook his head when he heard this.
Ai Lu grabbed Xu Mu's hand: "No, I'm going with you! This time I also brought out the black magic books, if the queen doesn't give us a chance, I will give the black magic books! This can at least save our lives." ”
Xu Mu's heart was warm and wanted to laugh: "You stupid, you can dedicate the black magic book to a certain kingdom casually, this is enough to change you to a nobleman!"
"Well, then let's trade it for a noble title, at least without taking that risk. When Ai Lu heard this, his heart suddenly moved.
Xu Mu took Ai Lu and said carefully: "The black magic book is extremely important, its political value and military value are extraordinary, and it is not something that can be exchanged for a few noble titles! You are worried about me, I am really happy, but the matter has come to this, I must take this risk, after all, this is for you and my magical future, and I don't want your magic career to stop there! I am seventy percent sure of the matter of colliding with the queen's lineup, if I am unfortunate that I have chosen the other thirty percent, then I will try to escape!"
Ai Lu's beautiful face turned red, and at such a close distance, the fine fluff on her white and flawless skin could be seen very clearly: "Since you said it was for me, then I must accompany you... Xu Mu, you can't be so selfish... Let me watch you from behind alone. ”
Xu Mu's mouth opened, but in the end he didn't say anything, he laughed, and some flirtatious taste blew in Ai Lu's ears.
This made Ailu's whole body a little delicate.
"You..."
"Okay, but the matter of the dark magic books, let's wait until we can't avoid it. ”
Ai Lu broke away from Xu Mu's side, her face was red and her ears were red, she was extremely cute, she saw Xu Mu like a successful villain, but she could only nod her head in response.
Queen Heaney lined up between the two of them as they talked, and the opening line finally arrived.
The opening of the formation is a three-column of knights, the horses wearing armor and royal flags are very proud, the armor on the knights on the horses is shining in the sun, the knights look forward and raise their heads, and the scenery is very beautiful.
However, the coats of arms on the knights' armor in the queue are not different, they are not the insignia of the royal family, and they are obviously knights who have been put together temporarily by the nobles of various Heini.
If the first batch of knight candidates comes back a year later, and the new royal knights are successfully reorganized, there will be no matter of these nobles following the knights.
Behind the knight procession is a procession of musical instruments, beating gongs and drums.
Behind it is a luxurious carriage, the horses of the camel carriage are all snow-white, and there is a pointed horn on the horse's head, which is actually a unicorn!
The hunched carriage was lavishly decorated, the corners were inlaid with precious stones, and the windows were blocked by a thick veil, in which a slender figure could be seen from the outside.
Seeing this, the people on both sides of the street couldn't kneel down on one knee because of the venue, so they put their right hands on their chests and bowed their heads and shouted.
"May Her Majesty Queen Heaney be blessed with eternal peace and prosperity!"
The shouts were like the waves of the sea, and wherever Queen Heaney's procession went, they would shout blessings, and everyone offered their most sincere blessings.
However, just as the queue was driving normally, two figures suddenly squeezed out on the side of the street.
The knight at the beginning also said that the two of them were accidentally squeezed out, and shouted angrily: "Civilians, quickly avoid!"
Xu Mu and Ai Lu knelt down on one knee, and he shouted: "Your Majesty, I have something to tell you below!"
When the knight saw that someone had deliberately come out to make trouble, his face suddenly deteriorated: "Don't hurry up and avoid it!
Xu Mu felt the oppression brought by the three columns of knights, and cold sweat couldn't help but break out on his forehead, but he still knelt down on one knee, and he didn't mean to hide from Ai Lu.
The knight who started first snorted angrily, slapped his horse up, the gorgeous long sword was unsheathed, and the tip of the sword was already aimed at Xu Mu and Ai Lu, as long as he got off the horse and rushed to the front, the knight was sure to take down the lives of these two civilians who didn't know what to do with a sword!
The knight's horse was getting closer and closer, the more he thought about the sound of the horse's hooves, the pressure on Xu Mu's body was even greater, he stared at the carriage behind him with his eyes, and kept muttering in his heart, the queen hurry up and say something!
Even if you don't want to see me, say something! At least Lao Tzu turned around and ran, what kind of thing are you if you don't speak!
The people on both sides of the street did not expect this to happen on the day of the festival, ordinary people did not even dare to rush into the procession of the nobles, but they did not expect that someone would dare to rush into the procession of the queen.
The knight's horse rushed to Xu Mu and Ai Lu, and when he saw the long sword held high, Xu Mu knew that he couldn't wait!
"Your Royal Highness, you must be interested in what I am talking about!"
"You sinners have to talk more!"
Just when the knight was about to deal with Xu Mu and the others, the luxurious carriage behind finally had a sound coming out.
The voice was a little faintly lazy.
"Oh, you think I'm going to be interested?"
Hearing Queen Heaney speak, the knight looked at Xu Mu and the two of them on the ground and snorted secretly.
"Back to Her Majesty, what you said below is true, if there is a little falsehood, or Her Majesty has no interest in it, I am willing to judge myself!"
Seeing this, Ai Lu couldn't help but take Xu Mu's hand worriedly.
"Okay, tell me what interests me. ”
"It's not good to spread this matter in front of everyone, if you can..."
The knight couldn't help but be angry: "What are you kidding! You sinner, it is a capital offense to rush into the queen's procession, and there are so many conditions to say! Your Majesty! When I drag this sinner down and deal with it, there will be no such people to disturb the festivities again!"
The veil of the luxurious carriage was gently lifted, revealing a pair of brownish-red eyes.
Xu Mu raised his head and met the eyes exposed by the veil of the carriage for a while, he was not afraid or looked away, and it didn't take long for the veil to be lowered again.
"Knight, bring them back to the court, and I'll talk to them when the parade is over. ”
The dismounted knight did not expect that Her Majesty would really want to see these two civilians, although they were not poor, but they were still very obedient and led the horses out of the procession, so as not to disturb the normal procession of the Queen.
Ai Lu's hand had been holding the books of the dark arts, and if the queen refused to see them, she would have to take them out at any time, but now that Her Majesty was really willing to see them, she was finally relieved.
Xu Mu wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, and he still handled the careful thinking of the upper leader very well.
If Her Majesty wants to receive them, she must be interested in them.
Although Xu Mu didn't say anything, he tried his best to be confident.
If he had behaved inconfidently, perhaps Her Majesty would not have seen them.
The knight took Xu Mu and Ai Lu to the Heini court in the north city without saying a word, the palace construction was extremely magnificent, and it took nearly twenty minutes to walk from the main gate of the palace to the house of the court meeting.
There's even a round pool the size of a football field in the middle of the palace!
Although Xu Mu was surprised, he didn't have much gaffe, and Ai Lu's knowledge was not low or unusual.
This made the knight a little secretly suspicious, you must know that ordinary civilians are scared when they see the knight, but these two people dare to rush into the queue, just to see the queen, is there really something important to tell the queen?
As for what Xu Mu Ailu had to tell the queen, he couldn't ask.
The identity is there, he is the knight retinue of the nobles under the queen, how dare he ask the queen about it, if he really does this, if he is sued by the two commoners in front of him, his head will have to move immediately.
