Imperial Capital:

Dane put down the message presented by the soldier in his hand and looked sideways at Rex, "Father, what do you say?"

"That kid Hawke is a friend of Xu Zheng. ”

"I know that. ”

Xu Zheng likes him very much. ”

"I know that, too. ”

"Do you like him?"

“...... Not bad. He was much better than his father, grandfather, and his shameless relatives. Oh, I'm sorry, but as an emperor, I shouldn't have said the word shameless. I'm just going to say that, though. ”

Hawke also gave Xu Zheng Virgil's shipbuilding drawings. ”

“...... Father, just say it, to help or not to help?"

Rex stroked his chin and smiled, "I like that kid." has backbone, has responsibility, and now has learned to love others, which is a skill that other members of the Virgil family can't learn. Even though he has bad things like that, I still like him. ”

Dane sighed, "I knew you would say that." Someone!"

Rex watched as the guards hurried forward. Smiled slyly, "I didn't say anything to help him." Now you are the Emperor. I'm not. ”

Dane said angrily, "Of course." You are not the current emperor. You will not be held responsible for the negative effects caused by our support actions. And when our actions have come to fruition. You will go to Xu Zheng again to ask him for credit. Say that all this is what you commanded me to do. You've taken all the good things...... Father. You're cunning!"

Rex calmly sat down in his chair and snickered, "Of course, why would I have thrown the throne to you before I was forty years old? For fear that someone will come to rob it. Idiots like Virgil are doing just that. Luckily, I understand why that kid Hawke is fighting. Otherwise, I'll kill him. ”

Dane was speechless. I don't want to pay attention to this unscrupulous father. Instructed the guards: "Inform the surface fleet." Let them sail to within five nautical miles of the Virgil Sea Jurisdiction. Not a single new-type ship is to be taken out. ”

The guard hesitated. "Please forgive your sins." Your Majesty. Wouldn't that make Virgil nervous?"

Rex snorted, "I just want them to be nervous!"

The guard nodded as if he didn't understand, and then asked, "If the other side negotiates, how should we answer?"

"Drill!" the two father and son looked at each other and smiled, both seeing a mischievous look in each other's eyes.

The corners of the guard's mouth twitched, this excuse is really bad...... It seems that since the emergence of a rather unserious second prince, the old emperor and the emperor have become more and more nonsense. I really don't know if it's a blessing or a curse......

Virgil Silver Arrow Castle:

Hawke and Reeves stood side by side at the top of the wall, looking into the distance, and the Cowherd followed behind the two, with a delicate tail armor on his tail, which looked very imposing.

It's the height of summer, and Silver Arrow Castle isn't as close to the coastline as the main city of Virgil, and the rise in temperature is already palpable. There was an unlethable dullness in the air, mixed with the smell of the sea breeze that had not yet dissipated, and it smelled like the faint blood of the battlefield.

Hawke irritated and tucked his cloak under his armpit. Looking at the direction where the smell of blood came from---- over there, you could vaguely see the flag shaking in the wind at the location of Sean's army in the distance. Pushing back his frustration, Hawke asked, "Uncle Reeves." Why am I losing?"

Reeves retracted his gaze from afar, and kept hanging his head and looking at the ground for a long time before he said softly: "Because you are not ruthless enough, decisive enough, cold-blooded enough, you can't kill your brother and father, you can't be ruthless, and you haven't inherited the heroic temperament that the six relatives of the Virgil family don't recognize." The Virgil regime can only be held by iron-blooded and ruthless men. You can't kill Sean, so you can only wait for him to kill you. To lose is to die. It's always been like this. ”

Hawke wordlessly put down his cloak and smiled wryly, "Uncle Reeves knew I was going to lose from the beginning, didn't he?"

Reeves' eyes fell back to his palm, it was clean, it had never been so clean, not stained with the slightest stain or blood that it shouldn't have been. Looking at Hawke's hands, the young prince's palms were not delicate, they were covered with thick fireflies and fine small wounds due to sword training and recent labor. However, it was surprisingly clean, and there was nothing at all depraved by the disgusting air of disgust.

"Yes. I knew it from the beginning. Reeves replied calmly. He withdrew his gaze from the palms of their hands and looked at Hawke with a calm smile.

Hawke took a deep breath: "Then why do you still want to help me? If at the beginning, you don't accept the task of the eldest brother and sister, and leave this place of right and wrong wisely, I think with your ability, that is, the sea is wide and the fish jumps, and the sky is high and the birds fly." Won't fall into this desperate situation with me. ”

Reeves sighed. Then he looked at his palms. Well, the nails are a little long. It's time to cut it.

Hawke froze: "Uncle Reeves, what did you say?"

"Huh?" Reeves was stunned before he realized that he had actually said this. Suddenly, he smiled: "I said that my nails are a little long, and I should find a time to cut them." ”

"Uncle Reeves!" Hawke was a little annoyed, he was still thinking about this at the moment?!

The Cowherd stretched out his head to look at Reeves' nails, and said very pertinently: "It's quite long." Minotaur nails are not very easy to handle, and I usually use a whetstone to sharpen it off. ”

Hawke finally got angry and shouted, "You two, give me a little more suitable!"

"Don't get bored. Reeves smiled: "Look at you, you are not as good as Niu Niu, he is much calmer than you." The bull head was twitched by the name of the bull cow, and not only Hawke, but even the big butler Reeves began to call him that. The big butler who used to be indifferent is changing, and it has become very difficult to say, anyway, he began to like to call himself a thunderous nickname, and the Cowherd was very unhappy with him.

Hawke shouted, "He's a coarse nerve, he doesn't even understand whether the situation is alive or dead! Uncle Reeves, now you leave the Silver Arrow Castle and cut ties with me!Sean just wants to deal with me, and he won't let his mother's cousin go. So you have a good chance to leave!"

Reeves shrugged, reached out to the cowherd's waist and touched it for a long time, touching a whetstone. So he took it out and polished his nails finely. The latter was groped by him and itched very much, grinning with a big mouth, and the uncontrollable bull's eyes widened, revealing an expression that wanted to be angry and couldn't help laughing.

"Let's go, why should I go?" Reeves said idly, "I ask you, what is the situation now?"

Hawke's frustration came up again: "In one sentence: Death's death! I understand Sean." He will remove all stumbling blocks that stand in his way to the throne. Now uniting Abby is just a temporary move, and after getting rid of me, it will be her turn!"

"Pity your stupid sister who is still dreaming of being an empress. What's worse is that the ambition is still big. I don't even have the shame to call her my niece. Reeves scoffed.

Putting down the whetstone, Reeves looked at Hawke fixedly: "Sean won't even let go of his own brother and sister, do you think he will let go of me, who is not close to him? ”

"No, it won't. Hawke stated this fact in frustration.

"I'm sorry, Uncle Reeves, I let you down. Maybe you should have helped out in the morning, Sean. There was a thick passivity in Hawke's voice, "I may not be a king. Like you said, I'm not cold-blooded enough, not ruthless enough. is not decisive enough to let go of the most worthless feelings in the royal family. It was I who caused you to be buried with me. ”

"Who said the ground?" Reeves chuckled, "I wanted to help you from the beginning, I just wanted to help you." It's just that you performed better than I expected, and even many times better than I expected, far exceeding my expectations. It's so good that you still keep the kindness and truth of your mother's character in the sinister royal family!, son, don't doubt the truth of my words at all. I'm so proud of you! The people of the Seths are good! The Virgil family is nothing more than snobbish garbage!"

Hawke froze, the heat rushing into his upper eye sockets. After a long time, he said, "Uncle Reeves, what you said is true, and you are not disappointed in me?"

"Nope. Oh, yes, I've been disappointed in you from the time you became interested in the throne at the age of twelve until you went to Zion, the imperial capital of Cheng'an. But for now, I'm very happy with you, quite satisfied!"

Hawke was a little overwhelmed with excitement, clutched the hilt of the sword in his hand, and asked in a loud voice, "Why? Uncle Reeves?"

Reeves throws the whetstone back to the Cowherd. He took a step forward and carefully adjusted the placket of Hawke's wind-blown clothes, and said plainly: "Because, you call me Uncle Reeves." Of the three children, you are the only one who remembers me as your Uncle Reeves. And the rest of the people have been corrupted by power and ** to the point that there is nothing left. ”

straightened his collar, tied Hawke's cloak carefully, took a step back and looked at Hawke, who looked handsome and handsome after tidying up his appearance, and said with a smile: "It's still so good-looking, it really looks like my sister." You know, boy, as long as you call me Uncle Reeves one day. Then Uncle Reeves will stand firmly behind you. It's like what I promised my sister: I will take good care of my juniors, and no one can bully me!"

Hawke's earthquake. Rolled over and grabbed Reeves' arm: "Uncle Reeves!"

"I'm here. The latter replied firmly, and his waist, which was over forty years old, was straight.

Hawke was speechless, and Reeves's arms, a thief by profession, were thin and slender compared to those of a warrior or a swordsman. But to hold on to it like this is to feel a tenacious force, and to feel confidence and courage. Sometimes, fathers are like a mountain that can never be toppled, you can rely on them at any time, and you can draw strength from them at any time. This has nothing to do with whether it is strong or not, and it has nothing to do with whether you have the power to decide life and death in your hands, it is only related to love and care!

Hawke smiled, and suddenly there was a fearless courage. Reeves also smiled, holding Hawke's arm instead, and the two uncles and nephews stood side by side on the wall, looking at each other and smiling. In his eyes, Sean's powerful army seemed to have disappeared at this moment.

"Flesh numb!" the bull head scratched his scalp, shivering unbearably and muttering.

I took off the drain today.

I wasn't ashamed to scream hysterically like a woman, but I bit the doctor's assistant hard...... His arm was right across my face. Then I found out the reason why I didn't scream: someone called for me, and the sound was so loud that I could hear it from the entire sixth floor outside the department!

The doctor's surname is Li, the assistant is an intern, his surname is Wang, and the doctor calls him Xiao Wang. Xiao Wang is a little fat and very white, a bit like a steamed bun. It's that he doesn't know whether he is alive or dead, and he dares to pull out my pipe.

Therefore, there is an extra circle of boss's tooth marks on the steamed bun......

Belch...... Did I ever say that my mouth is big, and the tooth marks are also very large, and the front teeth marks are amazingly neat. He was so neat that I bit it at nine o'clock in the morning, and when the small steamed bun came to inspect at eight o'clock in the evening, he smiled and pointed to the tooth marks to show me, saying that this tooth can be called a model of good teeth!

I was ashamed to die of shame for this! I closed my eyes and lay on the hospital bed like a dead body, until the steamed bun poked me with his fingers, and I had to come back to life, salivating and smiling: "Doctor Xiaowang, your skin is really beautiful...... Evidence of a crime can remain for so long without being annihilated......"
