Chapter 502: Loyal Director
At that moment, even the king's own expression was a little confused.
Who is this man...... Does he know him?
To the bewildered gazes of all, the old man came towards the king, and at last fell down on one knee not far in front of him, and gave him a full salute. And when the old man walked in, the general seemed to recognize him.
"Are you...... Aren't you the head of the house?"
The old man stood up, nodded, and said with some excitement: "After guarding this granary for so long, I didn't expect that in my lifetime, I would be able to see His Majesty the King again." ”
The king frowned: "Have you seen me?"
The old man replied, "Your Majesty, you may not remember me. I am the head of this granary, and every year I go to Glory to report the accounts to His Majesty. ”
"That's ......"
Without recognizing anyone, the king laughed dryly, feeling a little embarrassed in his heart.
To be honest, he has no impression of this granary manager, he should just be a petty official. However, he was able to stand up at such a critical moment and knock the priest who wanted to burn down the granary.
And...... Looking at the other party's appearance, it seemed that he had been waiting for the king for a long time, which surprised him.
Do you still have a few henchmen buried in an unknown place?
Benjamin also completely eliminated the priest at this moment, flew over, and couldn't help but ask the old man: "You said that you have been waiting for a long time, did you already know that there is a fake king in the palace, and the real king His Majesty has been living outside?"
Is the false king so persuasive?
The old man took a deep breath and said slowly: "The whereabouts of His Majesty the King, I didn't know before. But the imposter in the palace...... When I entered the palace last month and reported the accounts as I had done in previous years, I felt that something was not quite right with the man who sat on the throne. ”
When the king heard this, he suddenly became interested: "What kind of person is that impostor?"
Although it can be seen that he is imitating His Majesty's words and deeds, that feeling is definitely not something His Majesty will have. The old man continued, "Your Majesty is busy with official business, and has never cared much about the affairs of the granary. In previous years, when I entered the palace, I would soon be able to finish my debriefing. But as soon as I said a few words this year, the man interrupted me, made a look of concern, and began to ask this and that, and even picked up the ledger and looked through it himself. You say, how can he be really Your Majesty if he pretends to be like this?"
“......”
Benjamin wiped his sweat from the sidelines.
So...... Is this stand-in king revealing because he seems to be too diligent and loves the people? Although he had never met the stand-in brother, at this moment, Benjamin couldn't help but want to tear up for him.
However, if he thinks about it carefully, he has always felt that there is a lot of loopholes in the church finding a stand-in to be the king.
That's the king! Every day, countless pairs of eyes are staring, and suddenly a different person, no matter how similar they look, behavior, demeanor, and subtle differences can make people feel subtle and wrong, how can they hide everyone?
Sure enough, everyone is still not so easy to fool. Isn't this the emergence of a manager in charge of the granary?
The old man continued: "Later, rumors began to circulate about the fake king and the real king in the neighborhood, and I went back to the farm in my hometown to inquire about it. Unexpectedly, Your Majesty, you appeared in that farm. After I returned, I made up my mind to guard this granary for His Majesty and wait for the day when His Majesty returned. ”
The king was astonished: "Farmstead?"
He couldn't help but think that he was running around the countryside with Benjamin...... Actually, it's quite useful!
"Yes, now the story of Your Majesty is circulating in the farms everywhere, and they all say that one day, you will definitely return to the throne!" the old man also seemed to be a little excited, "Just this morning, Glori's side just had an order, let us beware of the sneak attack of the bandits, I immediately thought of Your Majesty, therefore, I kept an eye on it, and did not pass this order on to others, just waiting for Your Majesty's arrival tonight!"
So saying, he knelt down again and bowed deeply to the king. And the guards who surrendered also knelt on one knee at this moment, making a gesture of worship to the king.
- They didn't understand the situation before, but now that the manager has spoken, what else can they do?
When the king saw this, he was deeply moved.
"Arise, you are my most loyal people. When I return to Glori, you'll all be rewarded. ”
Benjamin was on the side, but shook his head helplessly.
That's what happened.
No wonder the entire granary was so negligent, it turned out that the chief manager received the order, but deliberately did not carry it out, so that their sneak attack process went so smoothly.
Really...... Knowing that the manager of the granary was so loyal, they didn't need to bring someone to call them. Contact this supervisor directly, how much grain and grass is not in his hands?
The priest was also unlucky enough, and thought that he could turn the situation around with one fire, but he was knocked on a dull stick by an old man in his fifties and sixties, and his soul was knocked out.
"How many more do you think there will be this old man, all Carretus has discovered that the fake king is wrong?"
They were so hard to tour the villages, it must have affected more than just such a granary manager. Perhaps, there are many officials like this old man who patiently wait for the return of the king, and there are many more in the country.
Of course they have to take advantage of it.
"This ...... I don't know, but I'm not alone. The old man was stunned and replied, "After the false king came to power, he did not appear often, and only those who took the initiative to meet His Majesty had the opportunity to meet him." However, I believe that the officials everywhere in Carretus have a good idea of it. ”
Benjamin nodded, and suddenly looked at the king: "In that case, Your Majesty might as well take this opportunity to ......"
When the general heard the words on the side, he couldn't help but show an excited expression.
The king was a little confused, ""What to do with this opportunity?"
"Take down the town of Changhe on the edge of the granary, and take this opportunity to announce to the world that the true king of Carretus has returned. Benjamin clasped his fists and palms and said with some excitement, "In this way, the people who support His Majesty from all over the country will rush towards Changhe Town, and we will have the ability to confront the church head-on!"
The king was stunned.
Listening to Benjamin's words, the soldiers, generals, old men, guards around him...... At this moment, he turned his head and looked at the king in unison, and there seemed to be a light in his eyes, as if he was expecting something.
In the midst of the storm, what are they looking forward to as the people of Caritus?
Soon, the king came to his senses.
He turned his head to look in the direction of Long River.
"Karitus, your king is back!" he said, as if he had thought of something, and suddenly became excited, laughed a few times, and shouted loudly into the empty road under the night.
