Chapter 10: The Nightingale
Soon the Emperor's gaze was taken away from the group of slaves, and his eyes were fixed on the front of the main road, and he heard a small voice coming from that direction
The faint sound of horses' hooves. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 Info Wendy naturally didn't notice this subtle voice, but she still looked curiously in the direction of the Imperial Gate, and there was only a moment in between
The road was dusty, and the sound of horses' hooves was getting louder and louder.
Just listening to the sound of the horses' hooves, the emperor estimated the number of the horse's horses, three hundred, and the sound of the horses' hooves was thick but not heavy, light and not
Vague, the emperor felt that these horses must be fast horses in the army. Judging from the direction from which the sound of horses' hooves came, it seemed that the other party was coming from Penta City
The whip is not conducive to the long drive, so the other party's destination seems to be near here.
Although the emperor believed that his previous actions would not attract the revenge of the old nobles, he still began to plan it with the intention of being cautious
countermeasures.
The sound of horses' hooves gradually approached, until the emperor saw the other party's clothes and appearances clearly, and that group of people was indeed the soldiers of Pente City, and they were elite troops.
More than 300 lightly armed cavalrymen were not only equipped with well-equipped weapons and armor, but also carried a gunpowder-filled rifle on their backs, which had a firing range
Although the power of the and the magic hand cannon is far less, the effective range of 800 steps and the penetration ability to penetrate the thin steel armor are still stronger than the bow and crossbow
Not a few.
Such a group of soldiers is placed in the entire Enka Military Region, and they are among the best in combat effectiveness, but what makes Emperor Men a little puzzled is this
Why did such a group of people stop in front of his ox cart?
Yes, the group of soldiers all stopped steadily in front of the Emperor's ox cart, and the whole process was not only short but also not chaotic. Trained
After they stopped, there was no other movement, only the leading sergeant wearing the uniform of a high-ranking officer dismounted and walked towards the emperor's gate.
Instead of wearing light armor like the other soldiers, he wore a neat tan uniform with several medals on his chest
。 The emperor knew these medals, some of them were awarded by the commander-in-chief of the kingdom of Tali, but more of them were directly awarded by the king
of medals.
Coupled with the scar on the left side of the young man's mouth in front of him, and his slightly heroic appearance, the emperor immediately guessed the identity of the person in front of him-
The lieutenant of the captain of the guard of the city of Pent, the youngest son of the commander-in-chief who joined the army at the age of fifteen, the young nobleman of great achievements, and the third earl of Thor, who was only twenty years old.
Thor approached the ox cart with a serious expression, and although Emperor had already guessed that the other party must not be looking for him, he still took Wendy with him
got out of the car and stood quietly next to the car waiting for the other party to speak. Although Thor was a little concerned about the emperor's left eye, he only looked at it a few more times, as for
Wendy, who was next to the emperor, was directly ignored by him.
The real goal of his trip was to come to Fast, who was looking at him casually at this time, and respectfully came to Fast's side and bowed his head slightly
At the same time, he also covered his heart with his right hand and performed the etiquette of an old nobleman, which was only performed when meeting a nobleman of high status, and Fas
Te just smiled and accepted the other party's salute, then he should also be a nobleman. It's just that most of the elves have eyes above the top and have never accepted humans
This Fast is really a little strange.
"Your Honourable Marquis of the Fifth Rank, Lord Fast, the Legion Commander has been waiting for you for a long time, please come with us to Burnt City at once. "Thor is done
After saluting, he glanced at the soldiers behind him and asked them to bring a fast horse.
"Hey, I wanted to go through it slowly, but it's good. Fastello said with some dissatisfaction.
"Please don't embarrass me and my subordinates. Although Thor bowed his head, his tone was neither humble nor arrogant, but he really had a bit of bearing
。
The little general laughed, I just complained a little, and I hurried with the little general to Penttown. Fast smiled
Said with a smile.
"No, he is not a general, and there is no junior general in the Tari army, Lord Fast, please don't say these words again in the future. "Thor
It seems that he is very dissatisfied with the title of this little general, and even the tone of his reply is slightly disrespectful.
Fast didn't care, and after stopping the joke that wasn't malicious, he turned to Emperor Gate and Wendy and said, "Although I get along with the two of you
The time is very short, but the contemptible people are still very happy to communicate with the two of them on this road, in short, I can't continue to accompany each other, and the two of us are destined to meet again.
”
"Goodbye. Emperor Gate smiled at him.
"Goodbye, Mr. Fast. Wendy was a little reluctant to let go of this interesting stranger.
After seeing Fast and the cavalry leave, Emperor Gate knew that something was going to happen in Pengcheng, but as long as this change didn't affect him, that
He won't get into trouble with himself.
"Is this Mr. Fast some kind of big man?" Wendy asked a very untechnical question to the Emperor.
"I guess so. ”
"But why would he take our car?" Wendy's question bothered Emperor Men all the way.
"I don't know, I don't need to know, let's get on with it. Instead of looking at the slowly settling sand in front of the road, the Emperor Gate turned to Wen
Ti said.
"Carry me up. Wendy said coquettishly to the Emperor.
Emperor Gate didn't shirk and hugged Wendy in his arms with a princess, and when he was about to get into the car, Wendy said a little eagerly: "
Wait, the emperor will let me go first. ”
"What's wrong?" said the emperor puzzled, "You can't be shy, right? ”
"What do you say? You see a little girl in front of me who has fallen, and I want to help her. Wendy mourned with her own watery blue eyes
Looking at Emperor Gate as if begging, Emperor Gate was silent for a while, but then put down Wendy and walked towards the little girl in front of her. however
Before Emperor Gate and Wendy could walk up to the little girl, the little girl was carried away by a fat man commanding several guards. Wendy saw this
She wanted to stop it, but her behavior was stopped by the emperor, and looking at the emperor's obviously reproachful eyes, Wendy had no choice but to give up.
――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――
As night approached, Emperor and Wendy managed to find a family to spend the night, but Wendy was very different today, and she had already fallen asleep
She has been kneeling on the grass outside the hut in a daze tonight.
Wendy, who was staring blankly at the huge blue planet in the sky, suddenly felt that her body seemed to be a little warmer, and when she turned around, she realized that it was the Emperor
After putting on an overcoat for her, he also sat down and gently hugged her. After smiling sweetly at the Emperor, Wendy tilted her head and leaned against the Emperor
"Why don't you go to bed? Emperor Men asked first, there was no reproach in his tone, only care and gentleness.
"Nothing, just a little sleepless. Wendy lowered her head and whispered.
"Is it because of the slaves? the little girl? or the old things?"
"This ...... Yes, but I think I'm mainly worried about the child, do you think she's going to die like this?" Wendy said
Raising his head, he looked at the Emperor Gate with a longing expression.
"Slaves are considered the property of slave owners no matter what, and slave owners should not die without help, after all, what I see is not a serious illness, only
Whether you're hungry or too tired. Although Dimen's explanation was reasonable, Wendy still wanted to see it with her own eyes, and looked at Wendy who was still thirsty
Looking at the eyes, the emperor had no choice but to compromise, "Hey, just take a look, and we'll come back after confirming that it's okay." ”
"Hmm. Wendy nodded in agreement.
Emperor Men picked up Wendy and quickly ran towards the original road, the speed was naturally not comparable to the ox cart, and he ran through the dark forest, flying
Ben in the quiet of the night. The faint light of the fire in front of him pointed the right path for the Imperial Gate, but when the Imperial Gate approached, he was surprised to find the camp
There was no noise, only wisps of beautiful singing came into his ears, and the singing became clearer as he continued to get closer, and Wendy even more
It's fascinating to hear.
The gentle and gentle singing seems to cleanse people's hearts, as if people are bathed in the light of stardust, and they are passing through the light of stardust
After the baptism, this beautiful song turned into a warm fire shining in people's hearts, and that trace of warmth seemed to seep into people's souls.
The slaves, the guards, and even the slave owners were all enjoying the crisp and soft song, and the emperor was even more curious about the source of the song
It wasn't difficult, but after a little search for the emperor, I found the source of the song. It was a small, yellow-faced little girl, and the little girl looked good
It's not pretty, but it can make people feel pity and protection.
"Emperor, this song is sung by that child! Wendy soon discovered the source of the singing as well, and she was
Surprised and happy.
Hearing Wendy's words, Dimen just nodded and continued to look at the little girl, his instinct telling him that something was about to happen, but he didn't know it
