Chapter 27: The Honeymoon (5)

"Millet!" cried Princess Catherine, "don't come!

Gu Shiyu ran a few steps along the river bank. In front of him was a rushing river. The snow cascading down from the mountains in the distance swells and crashes against the reef on the shore.

"No, I can't wait to see you!" Gu Shiyu's feet had already stepped into the water. The icy chill immediately spread from the soles of his feet to his whole body, making him shiver all over.

The water spread from the instep of his feet, his knees, his waist, all the way to his chest. He could hear Catherine shouting anxiously across the river, but what he heard was more of the rushing sound of running water.

He wanted to swim through, but the armor he wore was like a heavy stone, pulling at his body. He had to struggle to move his feet in the flowing water.

How wide is the river, and why can't it reach the other side?

The heat on his body flew away with the flow of the river...... He could already feel the numbness of his limbs, and if he couldn't get to shore in a short time, he would be swept away like a rotten log by the rushing river!

His feet slipped, and Goo-Goo immediately poured in a few mouthfuls of water. His body immediately lost its balance and began to float with the river.

"Help......" was the last thing he said before freezing.

......

When he awoke, he was lying by the campfire.

He writhed his stiff head and cried in a low voice, "Catherine!

"Are you embarrassed to call her by her name?!" Roland stood in front of him angrily.

Roland...... Please let me see her again!"

"You don't deserve to see him! I would have wanted you to drown in the river, but I'd rather kill you with my own hands!"

"Why?"

"Why?!Because you failed her!Because you abandoned her!!Thanks to your care, she finally returned to me!! and now I have to support not only your wife, but also your children!!Fuck, have I suffered some curse from heaven...... Before you die, I will solemnly promise that no matter what, I will take good care of her for the rest of my life, but I will never allow you to live in this world again and take her away!"

Roland raised the sword in his hand high and thrust it hard towards Gu Shiyu's heart!

"Ahh

As soon as Gu Shiyu opened his eyes, he heard someone sneezing.

It was not so much that he woke up on his own, but that he was awakened by the nightmare just now.

However, the sound of the sneeze just now was very different from others, and it looked very delicate, which was completely comparable to the chirping of birds outside the window.

"Where am I?" Gu Shiyu felt dizzy. He rubbed his eyes, and then he could see the furnishings in the room.

His body was covered with a warm velvet quilt, and his head and surroundings were covered with tassel gauze embroidered with violet vines. Through the tiny holes in the gauze tent, he could faintly see the mysterious drapery and exquisite frescoes hanging from the walls.

The peculiar scent in his nose immediately sobered him up.

Hey, am I in Saiya's room?

I was drinking with Cuthbert and Hart outside the city yesterday, so how did I end up here in a daze?

He was taken aback and sat up in a hurry.

Saiya didn't sleep next to him. As soon as Gu Shiyu lifted the quilt, a warm and smelly smell came to his face.

Needless to say, I definitely didn't wash my feet before going to bed last night!

Isn't this drunk......

Damn stinky feet, can you stop stinky like that?

I'm in the room of the eldest girl, and she's not only the noble lady, but also Her Majesty the Queen of Erathia!

Gu Shiyu was stunned, then sat on the edge of the bed and stuffed the stinky feet into his combat boots.

The flame in the closet has been extinguished. In the white embers, a faint trace of red could be seen from the flames.

As soon as he reached the sand by the fireplace, he saw Saya curled up in a corner of the sand, holding a large pillow in his arms.

Oh my God, did you sleep here last night? Gu Shiyu stood in front of her guiltily.

Why didn't I wake up earlier? Gu Shiyu blamed himself angrily, and even chiseled a few times on his head!

He was stunned for a long time, then he went to the bed to pick up the quilt and covered the end that did not smell on Seya.

Saiya immediately woke up. But as soon as she saw Gu Shiyu's anxious face, she obediently remained motionless and returned him with a faint smile.

"Ahh

"Look at it, look at it!" Gu Shiyu reproached: "How can you sleep here? No, you have a cold, right?!"

"Didn't you sleep on the sand too?" Seya argued, a little resentful in his voice.

"I ...... How can you compare with me! I can sleep anywhere, and I can still snore while lying in the pigsty! If you lie down, I will call the imperial doctor at once!"

"Don't ...... I'll just sleep!" Seya closed his eyes and said, "Guzi, you can sit with me, okay?"

"Good ......"

Gu Shiyu added a few dry firewood to the fireplace to make the firefire burn again.

The beating fires illuminate the pure and beautiful face of Seyana's angelic face. Her tiny nostrils twitched softly, like the small mouth of a fish frolicking in the water.

Gu Shiyu sat beside her for a long, long time.

Is she asleep?

Maybe! Her breathing seemed steady and long.

Until now, Gu Shiyu had time to calm down, thinking about the nightmare he had just had.

Is it true that he and Catherine are across the river and that they are going to be completely separated from her?

Are you really all made of stone, all the gods?

Was Roland really that eager to kill himself?

Also, what do you mean when you say you want to support my wife and children for me?

Roland, if you are really still a man, then don't rob me of my cuckold belt! Brother will reconcile with Catherine in the future, what are you then?

Well!

I'm sure I'll be reconciled with Catherine!

That......

What about Princess Saiya? Gu Shiyu turned his head and looked at Saiya blankly.

Almighty God, save me!

Gu Shiyu sighed and quietly walked out of the room.

Kendall didn't wake up early this morning.

That's good, brother doesn't need to eat those disgusting things! Gu Shiyu came to the table and picked out some food randomly.

When I first woke up drunk, my stomach was obviously empty, but I didn't have any appetite. He took a few bites, then stood up and walked slowly out of the hall.

Where to go? Yes, go to the Privy Council, Cuthbert may be there! Now in the Iron Fist Castle, he is probably the only friend who can patiently listen to his grievances.

Cuthbert and his assistants were busy in the Privy Council. Of course, they don't need to do menial tasks such as cleaning, but they still have to sort through so many official documents on the table before deciding whether to approve or not.

"Guzi, oh no, His Royal Highness Prince Regent, are you here?"

"I said Lao Ku, you still call me Guzi! I am not used to calling me other names, and I don't like it very much!"

"Then I'll call you Guzi when we get along in private, but I have to defend your dignity in public!"

"Whatever you want!" Gu Shiyu sighed. But there wasn't a clean chair in the room. He had no choice but to go to the door and sit down on the steps, basking in the sun that had just burst out.

The passers-by in the street saw the noble Prince Regent sitting on the steps like a vagabond, and they looked at him in amazement, and then whispered.

Gu Shiyu didn't bother to care about their opinions and eyes. He squinted his eyes and looked at the rising sun, knowing that it would be comfortable to be exposed to the sun in a few moments......

What could be more comfortable than basking in the late autumn sun?

After Cuthbert explained the matter, he immediately sat on the steps of the Privy Council with Gu Shiyu.

"Guzi, I have thought for a long time about the bond you told me yesterday, and I think it is feasible, and I have already begun to make preparations! Of course, my family and I will support it first!"

"Yes, if we take out a loan from the Holy Light Island, we also need to pay interest! In that case, why can't we leave these benefits to our people?"

"Is there anything else you'd like to explain?"

"There are still a lot of things I want to do, I'm afraid you can't be busy!" Gu Shiyu nodded and said: "First of all, I want to open our daily necessities factory in the Lost Land in the name of the country, and you will arrange reliable personnel to manage it, which should solve part of our shortage of funds." ”

Cuthbert quickly opened the notepad to take notes.

"We are facing war now, so let's get busy with armaments first, and put other things aside for the time being. When we have enough money for the military, then we can begin conscription, training, and preparation of wartime materials. Lao Ku, do the math, if we recruit another 100,000 soldiers, how much money do we have to prepare?"

"The armor, weapons and equipment of an ordinary soldier cost an average of two hundred gold coins, while the equipment of a cavalryman requires at least five hundred, not including the recruitment fee. ”

"Oh my God, doesn't that cost nearly 10 million gold coins?"

"I'm afraid so!"

"I don't understand, how can Erathia be different from other races, there is no top warrior to protect it? I know that the patron saint of mankind is the archangel, and they alone can be dozens of warriors!"

"But don't forget, each of them has to spend dozens of warriors for mercenary fees! Let me tell you, the land of Erathia is the most fertile of all races, and the combat ability of the six lands is also the strongest in the world! Maybe the gods want a balance of power among the various races, which is why the archangels evacuated Erathia!"

"I've got to find a way to get the Archangel back to Erathia!"

"Then you'll have to convince the gods! I don't think it's going to be easy!"

"Old Ku, do you have any ideas?"

"I have no idea! My duty is to conscientiously carry out the instructions given to me by you and Her Majesty!"

"How can a person not have an idea?" Gu Shiyu said as he looked at Cuthbert strangely.

"Guzi, I think so: according to each person's ability and quality, I divide people into four categories:

The first type of people are the most remarkable, just like you and Princess Catherine, who are born leaders! They always have many new ideas, they will keep their duties and missions firmly in mind, and they will make correct judgments according to the current situation! This type of people are the easiest to stand out from the crowd because they have a very good sense of initiative and historical mission!"

"The second group of people is the best. They are very good at carrying out the intentions of the Excellency and are very good executors. Cuthbert touched his head and said, "I should belong to this category!"

"The third group of people is very ordinary, they make up the vast majority of the population. They can do a lot of things well, but only if you offer them good enough conditions and remuneration. ”

The fourth group of people is the most mediocre. They have low eyes, complain about the sky, or have no ambition in their hearts, and usually only think about how the god of luck will favor them...... Such a person is doomed to achieve nothing!"

"Old Ku, you...... Are you sure you're right?"

"Guzi, I didn't misread you!" Cuthbert looked at Gu Shiyu seriously and said, "You don't look very chic...... Even when you came into this world, you were a fool who didn't know anything! But after such a long relationship, you should know very well that everyone is willing to entrust their lives to you!"

"I think you're all wrong! Actually, I'm a fool who can't be more stupid!"

"This may be your personal opinion," said Cuthbert, "Grain, each of us should find his place. If you are not willing to be mediocre, unwilling to be ordinary, or unwilling to be excellent, then you need to show your own more outstanding ability, instead of sitting at home and waiting for others to recognize!"

Cuthbert paused, then continued: "Guzi, I am very content that my abilities can be recognized by you and Her Majesty Queen Saiya! I don't consider myself a very successful leader, at best I can only be regarded as an executor who can be trusted enough! I am willing to give everything under the leadership of you and Her Majesty the Queen!"

This is the first time Gu Shiyu has heard others make the highest evaluation of him!

When he was in elementary school, people said that he was unproductive, that he couldn't figure out how many he could add to one, and that he had to break his fingers! When he didn't have enough fingers, his toes would move......

When he was in junior high school, others said that he was a bad guy and that sooner or later he would end up in the detention center for fighting......

When he was in high school, others said that he was a hooligan, and sooner or later he would go to prison for not being honest with girls......

Isn't this a good life, brother?!

In terms of IQ, my brother is not as good as Jack Ma;

In terms of strength, brother is not as good as Jordan;

Discuss......

Anyway, my brother has now got the best evaluation of this bullshit world that has crossed over!

What the fuck are you exams! Which of my physical education exams didn't reach the level of a second-class athlete? What kind of bullshit exam are you, are you examining athletes, or are you mediocre people who know everything for half a spoon?!

Who's that...... By the way, that person named Qian Zhongshu, didn't he score more than a dozen points in mathematics when he went to Tsinghua University......

And there's ...... There is also the one named Wu Han, didn't he score zero in mathematics when he went to Peking University......

Well...... Well...... There is also the one named Guo Moruo, it seems that he also failed a few subjects when he was in college!

Gu Shiyu finally puffed up his chest! He stood up and looked down condescendingly at the small iron-fisted castle in front of him, and secretly thought to himself: "Isn't it Erathia? Judging from the map, it is at best the territory of the Goths, Thracians, and Gauls! Brother may not be willing to be the secretary general of the United Nations! Brother promised to be your Prince Regent, which is really too much to promote you!"
