Chapter 19: The Way Home (5)

Early the next morning, Gu Shiyu was awakened by the sound of an argument outside the tent, it was Lucifer who was blaming Gabriel, his voice was cold, and he knew that he was talking when he heard it. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

"How can you leave your master and go and dance with the girls yourself?

Gabriel scratched his head and said, "...... The people who came were all friends of Her Royal Highness Princess Saiya, and I don't think Brother Gu Zi would be in any danger. Besides, don't you dance too?"

Lucifer snorted, "It seems that you must always remember who you are! Although the master does not allow us to call him master, it is his kindness, but we are his guards, and we must always remember it in our hearts." Also, last night you drank so much wine, drunk as a dead pig, that you didn't come out of the tent all night to stand on guard! Didn't you once say that danger is everywhere, and we must be vigilant at all times?"

"I'm saying that on the sea, there is danger all the time......"

"You're still quibbling! I don't think there's any difference between land and sea. ”

"Okay, okay, you stand all night, go rest and rest! ”

Gu Shiyu came out of the tent with a yawn and muttered, "I seem to have heard someone calling me master just now." ”

Lucifer was startled, and quickly bowed down and said, "I'm sorry, Lord...... Brother Gu Zi, I woke you up. ”

Gabriel looked at Gu Shiyu and said slyly, "Is there one?" Brother Gu Zi, I didn't hear it. ”

Gu Shiyu stroked his full beard and said, "You just pretend! By the way, which of you can shave your beard?"

"I will!"

"I will!"

Both Lucifer and Gabriel raised their hands in the air.

"Well, Lucifer is moving faster, so let Lucifer come. ”

Gabriel was very clever, and ran to fetch a basin of hot water.

Lucifer put a hot towel on Gu Shiyu's face, and then held a razor and looked Gu Shiyu's face up and down.

Gu Shiyu couldn't help but smile: "Lucifer, looking at your appearance, it seems that you are very good at shaving your beard." ”

"Yes! When the weather wasn't good, my brother and I worked as apprentices at the barber shop on the island of Light. ”

"Alas. Gu Shiyu sighed, and then said: "Lucifer, yesterday you saw those teenagers and girls who are about the same age as you! ”

"Lord...... Brother Gu Zi, I don't think my brother did the right thing last night, and I don't want to learn from him. Besides, those people from last night were all noble and noble, and they were entitled to be happy. ”

Gu Shiyu understood that Lucifer's indifference to others was actually caused by his inferiority complex. They have lost their parents since childhood, struggled to survive, lost many opportunities to play, and developed the idea of being ashamed of themselves compared to their well-to-do peers, so they protect themselves like a hedgehog.

In any case, he had to find a way to enlighten Lucifer and let him find his own happiness.

"What bullshit aristocratic blood, what kind of noble status! People are the same, so many bankers on the Holy Light Island, didn't they become beggars in the end? I have no noble blood, and when I arrived in the Lost Land, I was a penniless fool, but I relied on my own wisdom to win wealth and the respect of others. So you have to remember that all people are created equal, there is no distinction between high and low, and everyone has the right to find their own happiness. ”

"Yes!" Lucifer smiled again, "I'll remember Brother Guzi's words." ”

"That's good, your smile is charming, and many girls will be tempted by it. I want you, and Gabriel, to live with a smile every day. ”

Lucifer blushed. He held up the razor and said, "Brother Gu Zi, can you stop talking for a while? My level is not yet enough to shave your beard while you are talking." ”

Gu Shiyu immediately shut up. If you get a few cuts with a razor, that's terrible.

"But...... Brother Gu Zi, I think you look good with a beard, shouldn't heroes have a beard? Why don't I fix it for you?"

"Is it really better to have a beard than not to have a beard?" Gu Shiyu couldn't help but ask: "Then leave it to you, you can get it as you think it looks good." ”

Princess Saia and Resa came to the side holding hands and looked at them with a smile, it seemed that breakfast was ready.

After breakfast we will start the journey into town. At the forefront were the palace guards holding honor guards, followed by Princess Saiya's personal guards, whose cloaks were embroidered with the lion king's emblem, all in good spirits, and their armor and weapons were polished. Some of these people looked familiar, and they must have secretly helped them in the siege battle on Holy Light Island.

From the foot of the hill there is only a straight avenue leading to the city gate, the slope is steep, and the terrain is indeed dangerous enough. If you want to forcibly attack the city, you are afraid that you will encounter a lot of damage at the foot of the mountain.

Near the other side of the castle is a river under the cliff, and it seems that the water for the inhabitants of the castle is brought in from the river, or there is a dark river just below the castle.

This place is not suitable for storming, it can only be besieged. Since the Iron Fist Castle dared to be built on a hill, it must have been fearless, and a large amount of supplies were hoarded in the city, which could hold out long enough until reinforcements arrived, or the enemy retreated timidly.

Gu Shiyu was very strange, how could he suddenly have such an idea.

Approaching the city gates, the soldiers on the city walls blew the trumpets of welcome.

After entering the city, it suddenly opened up in front of me, it was not the mountain city imagined by Gu Shiyu, but a flat river, and the streets were surrounded by welcoming people on both sides.

"Great Chosen One, he donated 600,000 gold coins to the monastery yesterday!"

"Merciful Chosen One!"

"Heroes of the fight for Erathia, we welcome you!"

"Bless our great princess, merciful gods!"

Countless flowers floated down amid people's shouts and applause.

Gu Shiyu was very excited and panicked. He whispered to Princess Saiya beside him: "Your Royal Highness, I'm afraid you're mistaken, I only donated 200,000 gold coins yesterday. ”

"But you also brought the 400,000 gold coins. Princess Saiya smiled and said, "Isn't it good that they welcome you?"

Gu Shiyu didn't know what to say. He could only raise his hands stupidly and greet the people on both sides of the road.

Gabriel and Lucifer on horseback were straight, with their chests high, which naturally caused some criticism.

The Chosen One is just different, even the guards are so handsome and spirited.

However, the beautiful and lively Renesas in the team has caused speculation. People don't want to think of her as the partner of the Chosen One, and they are willing to think of her as the sister of the Chosen One. Many people had already learned about the grand occasion of the banquet outside the city last night, and Gu Shiyu did call this beautiful girl his sister, which caused many noble children to surround her and pay their respects.

If the Chosen One could marry our beautiful Princess Saiya, how good it would be, and there would be hope for Erathia!

"O Great Chosen One, propose to our beautiful princess, the gods will bless you with happiness forever!"

Such a shout naturally resonated with people, in exchange for bursts of deafening applause!

Oh no! Gu Shiyu didn't expect this. He stole a glance at Princess Saiya, only to see her blushing face and looking very shy.

In the square outside the palace, a majestic bearded hero wearing a crown stood majestically under the canopy, it should be the feared King Kendall, next to him was a half-aged, who was graceful, it must be Her Majesty the Queen, Princess Saiya's mother, and behind him stood a large group of courtiers.

Gu Shiyu jumped off his horse, and Princess Saiya, Ressa, Gabriel, and Lucifer also dismounted.

King Kendall strode forward, not waiting for the queen who walked lightly beside him.

"Haha, welcome, brave knight who brought great honor to Erathia!" King Kendall had a loud voice, almost bigger than Yoland's throat, and it made people's ears buzz.

Gu Shiyu was about to kneel down and salute, but was picked up by Kendall: "Don't come with me, we are heroes, let's come to the hero's meeting gift!"

Kendall stretched out his big, jointed hand towards the valley. Gu Shiyu also stretched out his hand and held His Majesty's arm. The crowd erupted in applause.

Kendall's hand was very strong, and it hurt to hold Gu Shiyu's arm. Do you old man still want to try my strength? Gu Shiyu also used his strength.

No one knew that the two of them were on the bar from the beginning.

Kendall was quite satisfied. He let go of his hand, and punched Gu Shiyu in the chest again, and when he saw that his body was not moving, he laughed and said, "Good boy, it's really good! I like you very much." ”

It was only now that Her Majesty the Empress hurried over with her courtiers. Gu Shiyu was about to salute, but King Kendall held his hand with one hand and Princess Saiya with the other, laughed non-stop, and turned around and strode towards the palace.

The queen and the courtiers had no choice but to flash aside again and let them pass. Gu Shiyu looked apologetically at Her Majesty the Empress, and the Empress had a smile in her eyes and nodded slightly.

This old man's pace is really fast. Gu Shiyu can still keep up with him, and Princess Saiya has to trot all the way.

To tell the truth, Gu Shiyu likes this old man very much, straightforward, hearty, and resolute, it must have been trained after many years of marching and fighting in the army. The only pity is that the ruling technique is too cruel and bloody, and without this flaw, he should be a king who is loved by the people.

Kendall and Gu Shiyu had been chatting for a while, and Her Majesty the Queen chased her courtiers into the palace.

"Hahahaha, I think Alkin must have trembled with fear when he saw you come out of nowhere with such a powerful army!" Kendal slapped his thigh with delight.

"It's okay. Gu Shiyu said: "He just sighed towards the sky and said, I'm defeated, you kill me!"

Kendall nodded in praise: "It seems that Alkin is worthy of a hero, he is still very brave." He beckoned, "Come and hear how the Chosen One has received such a high honor, which is at least a hundred times more wonderful than the crooked chanting of the bard." ”

So Gu Shiyu continued to tell the story, until the final battle in the arena.

Except for Ressa, the other people in the hall had only heard a little about the siege and competitive matches organized by the Holy Light Island, and they all heard it thrillingly, and there were exclamations and applause from time to time.

Princess Saiya also listened.

"I don't always understand how you can fight more than twenty cities in only half a year! I have been fighting for more than ten years, and I still haven't eliminated Duke Elares of Dia and Duke Drino of Carava. ”

"Your Majesty, I think so, go up to the army to fight, then to attack the enemy, and then to attack the city. At that time, with my forces, it was true that Altyn and Eufrittin could be destroyed, but my troops would certainly suffer heavy casualties, and it would have to take a long time to repair before they could continue to fight York. And if York defeats Princess Borris, he'll quickly turn around and fight me. The soldier is very fast, and I must flank Princess Boris before he defeats him, otherwise the outcome is really unpredictable. ”

King Kendall patted his thigh and praised, "You're so right! Clerk, write down to me what the Chosen One said...... Felling what?"

"The first army is to fight, the second is to attack the city, and the next is to attack the city. Gu Shiyu explained. Hehe, to beat those straw bales, I can use the twelve words of Sun Tzu's Art of War, and the thirty-six strategies are useless.

"Alas, if I had met you earlier, I would have known that with this method, the two bastards Duke Elares and Duke Drino would have let me clean up a long time ago! As soon as I hit Duke Drino, Duke Elares would attack me on the flank, and as soon as I turned around and hit him, Duke Drino would turn around, which was really annoying. But Duke Elares is almost done, and Sandru will clean him up. As soon as he is gone, I will fight Drino again. ”

Ah, Gu Shiyu was startled! Duke Drino of Carava has formed an alliance with Jenny the dwarf of the forest, and Eufrittin is rushing there! It is the last bit of territory of the dwarves, and the foundation of his good friend Yoland's restoration cannot be taken away by Kendall!

"Your Majesty, I don't think you have to fight Duke Drino and let him flank Fiona's demon legions, or you will have to fight on both sides of Kalava and Border City. As soon as the battle line stretches, your supplies will not be able to keep up. ”

"Yes, what you say is very reasonable, Her Majesty the Queen and Princess Saiya have said that this year's harvest is not very good, and advised me not to start a war. Then I'll listen to you once!"

The hall erupted in applause, and some even shouted Long live the king.

Kendall was delighted. He personally poured Gu Shiyu a glass of wine, clinked glasses with him and said, "What do you think of Princess Saiya?"

Her Royal Highness Princess Saya is beautiful, intelligent, and benevolent, and the world can see it. ”

"I intend to betroth her to you as a wife, and to make you the guardian of Erathia. You can propose to her now, of course, I'll pretend to think about it before I say yes. Kendall stroked his beard and looked at the young man with a smile.

Her Majesty also looked at this future son-in-law with a smile, and the more she looked at it, the more satisfied she became.

The hall burst into applause.

Gu Shiyu's eyes widened, this was too sudden, and he didn't have any mental preparation at all!!

If Her Royal Highness Princess Catherine is a fire, then Princess Saiya is a pool of spring water, a wife that any man dreams of.

But he had already made up his mind to marry Catherine, and it was because of this that he refused Eric's request, gave up his position as the generalissimo of the Holy Light Island, and hurried to the lost land. In order to thank Princess Saiya, I came to Iron Fist Castle.

But how to refuse? not to let Princess Saiya lose face, and to make King Kendall feel that he is not worthy of his daughter.

"I am flattered by your kindness, Your Majesty...... Princess Saiya is so noble, and I come from a humble background, I really don't deserve her. Gu Shiyu lowered his head, not daring to look at Princess Saiya's expression.

"It's okay, I can make you a duke right away!"

"And...... Although Princess Saiya and I are good friends, we don't have a lot of contact with each other, and we don't know each other very well...... She probably hasn't noticed a lot of bad things about me yet. I smack my mouth when I eat, snore when I sleep, and my feet stink...... Anyway, I have many, many bad things and I'm worried that I won't be able to take good care of her. ”

"It doesn't matter! What man doesn't have a bad body? If you want to say that the contact time is not long, it is nothing, when I married Her Majesty the Queen, she still dragged her nose and often stepped barefoot in the muddy water!"

Princess Saiya stood up angrily and said, "Father, why don't you ask my opinion at all? This is too sudden, I don't agree with this family business!"

Gu Shiyu breathed a sigh of relief, and he was very grateful to the clever Princess Saiya for rescuing him. Saya knows very well that she loves her sister Princess Catherine, and Kendall forces them to get married, isn't it difficult for a strong man?
