Chapter 23: Jon's Return
Count Lamor turned his gaze to Naken again: "Naken, your task is much heavier than that of Rerumman. You'll need to plan your way across Tulip Territory, not in direct confrontation with the enemy, but to prevent enemy spies and saboteurs from moving into the territory. If the affairs are complicated, you can leave some of them to Lin Wei to do. ”
The earl's fears were not unfounded, and when the two countries were at war, it was easy to send some dead soldiers to infiltrate the prosperous and rich areas of the enemy country and carry out bloody and violent acts of sabotage, in order to shake the morale of the soldiers on the front line of the war. Although the Tulip Territory is only the fief of the earl, it is a well-known prosperous place in the entire Yaosheng Kingdom. Therefore, the earl's worries are still very necessary.
"Yes, sir. Naken's face was solemn.
"Oh, yes, Lin Wei. Count Lamo seemed to remember something light, and his face swept away the seriousness of what had just been done, and a faint smile hung on his face.
Lin Wei bowed slightly, indicating that he was listening carefully to the earl's speech.
"Tomorrow, Jon will be back. ”
The Count leaned back into the soft seat.
"Young Master Jon is coming back?"
Lin Wei's face looked surprised, as for what he was thinking in his heart, only he knew.
Count Lamor smiled and nodded: "Yes, the rules of the War College are really strict, and there is only half a month of vacation in a year, and he took this opportunity to return here." You and Jon grew up pretty much together, so it's up to you to pick him up from outside the city tomorrow. ”
The outside of the city that Count Lamo spoke of was outside the city of the Golden Flower City. Golden Flower City, which is the city where Lin Wei and the others are currently located, is also the central city of the Tulip Territory, and its status is equivalent to that of the royal capital to the Yaosheng Kingdom.
"In other words, is Young Master Jon already within the jurisdiction of Tulip Territory?" Lin Wei glanced at Lord Earl.
Count Lamo smiled and nodded.
"Your Excellency, you should have told me a long time ago so that I could go and pick up Master Jon home early. Otherwise, when he sees the young master, he will blame me, and I am afraid that you will have to dissuade him, Lord Earl. ”
Seeing that the atmosphere in the room was relaxed, Lin Wei also made a small joke with Count Lamo moderately.
As soon as these words came out, Count Lamo raised his head and smiled: "Lin Wei, you talk to me like this, but you don't respect your superiors, be careful that I remove your deputy commander position." ”
"Everything in Lin Wei is a gift from the earl, so naturally it is all up to the earl. Lin Wei just happened to slap the earl's ass.
Reruman and Naken glanced at Lin Wei, both of them smiling rather than smiling. They knew very well in their hearts that the Earl himself had cultivated Lin Wei as the heir of himself and others. The Earl's gesture was actually a signal to the two of them.
......
Following.
Outside the Golden Flower City.
Lin Wei rode a war horse, wore a helmet on his head, a cross sword at his waist, and a fiery red cloak behind him, which was the most standard knight's attire and the most standard warrior aristocratic etiquette.
Behind him, dozens of neat guards, they also straddled their horses, neatly dressed, and their faces were solemn.
Civilians passing by looked at them with reverence and fear, and almost everyone circled around them. In the passing crowd, there were constant whispers of discussion.
"Which guest is your Excellency going to greet today, and why did you let Lord Lin Wei personally greet you?"
"It's not a distinguished guest, I heard that it's Master Jon who is coming back!"
"Jon, that kid is coming back, no, you have to tell the girls in the house to hide!"
“......”
With Lin Wei's strength, these discussions fell in his ears word for word, but Lin Wei was unmoved, just sat quietly on horseback.
It's nearly dusk.
A delicate and luxurious carriage moves slowly on the horizon.
The decoration of the carriage is exquisite, and just by looking at it, you know that it must be a means of transportation for the great nobles. The carriage was surrounded by several sturdy warriors, who rode iron-clad war horses, and looked from afar, giving people a strong sense of intimidation.
"Are you here......" Although Lin Wei was tired of this kind of waiting, he had to endure it silently. Although his strength has reached the level of a great knight, he can completely break away from the control of Count Tulip and break into the Xingtong Continent by himself. But Lin Wei believes that staying with Count Tulip and encountering the wizard's trail is much more likely than looking for it himself.
The carriage jolted along the bumpy road, and it didn't stop until it came to a stop in front of Lin Wei.
Swish!
The curtain of the carriage was pulled open, and a handsome young man with long blond hair showed his face, it was Jon.
"Master Jon. ”
Lin Wei jumped off his horse and made a standard aristocratic etiquette to Jon.
The tulip guards behind him also dismounted and saluted in unison with Lin Wei's movements.
"Lin Wei!"
Jon laughed and leaped off the carriage.
"Huh?" Seeing this, Lin Wei's eyes were a little surprised, and the corners of his mouth lightly crossed a slight arc, "Interesting...... The War College is truly a magical place, and even a gentleman like Jon can change so much. ”
With Lin Wei's vision, he could see the change in Jon at once. Before leaving the tulip territory, Jon was just a powerless aristocratic young master, but the leap just now was very close to the physical fitness of a knight's squire.
Jon walked two steps quickly, a bright smile appeared on his face, and he looked at Lin Wei as if he had been an old friend for a long time, and he hurriedly helped Lin Wei who was hunched up: "Lin Wei, long time no see! In the correspondence with my father, I already know that you are now the deputy commander of the Tulip Guards! It is worthy of being my partner who grew up together!"
As he spoke, Jon punched Lin Wei's chest, as if he were a close friend.
If Lin Wei was just an accident just now, then now, he was really surprised. Only a year has passed, and the smug aura on Jon's body has disappeared, and in the communication with him just now, Lin Wei actually felt Jon's sincerity!
"Hell...... Lin Wei's heart thought quickly, "A person can make such a big change, either when he encounters a major event that touches life and death, or when he comes into contact with someone who changes his values." ”
In his previous life, as an earthling, Lin Wei knew that a person's concept of life was the easiest to be affected when he was sixteen or seventeen years old, and Jon happened to be this time when he was out in this year.
"Welcome home, Young Master Jon. ”
Lin Wei also showed a smile full of "sincerity" to Jon.
