As soon as he saw Edrid, Gu Shiyu seemed to see a little hope in despair. He choked up and said, "Eldred, you are Catherine's best friend, you must persuade her...... How could she do that?"

"Well......" sighed Eldred, "I am the one who knows best what Her Highness is thinking, how could she be willing to do this......"

"And she's doing it?!What's the difference between that and stabbing me in the heart?"

Of course, her heart hurts too...... For a woman, finding the love of her life is the most important thing in her life...... How could she have agreed to such a terrible offer if she had any other way? She was really helpless to agree to King Kendall's proposal...... Because she has more to think about than you do!" Eldred quietly wiped the corners of her eyes and said, "She can't ignore the suffering people of Erathia! she can't ignore the impending disaster! she can't ignore her mother's life...... In the same way, if you are in danger, she will come to your rescue at all costs, even if it costs her life!

"But this decision will bring me and her untold suffering!"

"Yes...... But you and she are still alive after all! If she doesn't, Her Majesty the Regent Laurel will die, and then many more will die! How could she bear to see her mother hanged by King Kendall? How could she bear to see her people rot and stink in the wilderness?"

"I know she's struggling, but ...... I should be able to come up with something else!"

"I don't think there's any other way! Just like you are now, you can't find a better solution to your current predicament than to marry Princess Saiya. ”

"Why?"

"We made an agreement with King Kendall, but it was only lip service. Her Royal Highness the Princess and Her Majesty the Regent Laurel are now trapped in the Iron Fist Castle, without much freedom in life, and are actually hostages held by King Kendall. Although we gathered all our forces under the Iron Fist Castle, we did not dare to attack rashly, one was afraid that once the war started, King Kendall would be unfavorable to Her Royal Highness the Princess and Her Majesty the Regent, and the other was that the defense of the Iron Fist Castle was very complete, and it was impossible to capture it with an army of 50,000. Our Chen soldiers in the city, except for a little pressure on King Kendall, actually can't play more roles. ”

"Then what should I do?" Gu Shiyu, who is usually quite assertive, is now a complete mess in his mind.

"Guzi, only you can save them now!" Eldred clasped Gu Shiyu's hand tightly and said, "Only by letting the agreement take effect, will Her Royal Highness the Princess and Her Majesty the Regent Laurel be able to regain their freedom, and Erathia will achieve true unity." ”

"Then I have to leave Catherine to marry Princess Saiya!" Gu Shiyu said sadly.

“...... Before I came here, I went to Ironfist Castle and had a long talk with Her Royal Highness the Princess. She wants me to tell you, please understand her no matter what...... She really wants to hold the hand of her son and grow old with her son, but there is always a lot of helplessness in real life......"

"She is a strong woman who should not succumb to the arrangement of fate!"

Eldred was anxious: "Oh, I told you so much, why don't you understand yet? You are not only saving the people of Erathia, but also saving Her Royal Highness the Princess and Her Majesty the Regent!"

"Don't I have any other choice?" Gu Shiyu looked at Adridrid sadly.

"I'm afraid so...... I know it's hard for you, for Princess Catherine, for all of us!" said Eldrid, "Fortunately...... Princess Saiya is also very good! Not only is she beautiful and rare in the world, but she also has a kind and innocent heart!"

"What if...... This is what Princess Catherine wants, and I have to accept it. But I must tell you that even if I marry Princess Saiya, I will not be happy, because I cannot forget the past...... Maybe the marriage is nothing more than a nominal ......"

"You have to understand that this is not what Her Royal Highness the Princess wants, but what she has to accept...... Guzi, you and her will have a very difficult time in the future, but life has to go on after all......"

Gu Shiyu lowered his head and wrung his fingers vigorously. Adridrid looked at him silently, his heart very heavy.

Tanan, York, Abigail, Rensa, Gabriel, and Lucifer and Jasmine, who had just returned, all stayed outside the door, waiting for Gu Shiyu to make a final decision.

Eldred came out. Seeing that everyone was looking at her with inquiring eyes, she nodded slightly.

It seems that Gu Shiyu has decided to go to Iron Fist Castle. Everyone nodded and shook their heads, and their faces looked very melancholy.

Gu Shiyu also came out, and he had already packed his bags. Gabriel and Lucifer hurriedly went into the house to get their luggage, but he stopped them. I only heard him say: "You better stay here, and after investigating the situation of the vampire, you can go to Tekken Castle to find me!"

Gabriel and Lucifer stared in amazement at the back of Gu Shiyu's dejected back. Jokla stopped him and whispered, "Guzi, I can't accompany you to Tekken Castle, I have to wait here for Somla to return my army." ”

"It's okay, York. I've been beaten by Kendall, and I've lost badly. The less people see this mess now, the better...... As soon as I arrive at Tekken Castle, I'm sure I'll be even more embarrassed!"

"No one can beat you, only you can beat yourself! York patted Gu Shiyu on the shoulder, and said goodbye to him.

Tanan said to York, "Thank you for your help, York, and tell him when Somla returns, bring my army back, and I must go and accompany the grain, and then go back to Bracada with Abigail." ”

The old hero and Gabriel and others stood at the gate of the city, watching the cavalry gradually disappear into the smoke and dust, and still had no intention of leaving.

A few days later, the cavalry finally reached the outskirts of Ironfist Castle. Princess Catherine's army had already gathered under the city, and when Gu Shiyu and Eldred and his party arrived, Cuthbert, Adra, Hart and others hurried out of the big tent to greet them.

It's only been a month since everyone and Gu Shiyu left, but I didn't expect him to be so haggard now. Everyone didn't speak, just quietly stayed by his side.

"Get me some water to wash, I can't let Kendall see my down-and-out appearance, it's like a defeated rooster!" Gu Shiyu raised his head, looked at everyone and smiled.

That smile was worse than crying. Unable to stand it any longer, Cuthbert immediately rushed out of the tent and ordered the soldiers to begin to spread.

Everyone left one after another, and in the end, only the unwilling Hart was left.

"Guzi, are you sure you want to do this? I don't think things should be like this, there should be other ways. ”

"I can't think of a way!" Gu Shiyu smiled bitterly.

"Fight Kendal's son of a bitch! Our army is no worse than his!"

"How can you fight? He hides in the turtle's shell and can't come out!" Gu Shiyu shook his head and said: "It is not possible to forcibly attack the city, even if it is attacked, our soldiers will suffer heavy casualties." To tell you the truth, the first time I came to Tekken Castle, I was thinking about how to attack the city, but I haven't come up with any good solutions until now!"

"Anyway, we can't let Kendall lead him by the nose! or you pretend to promise him first, and wait for Her Royal Highness Princess Catherine and Her Majesty Regent Laurel to be safe before tearing up the agreement!"

"I've thought about this too, but it doesn't seem to work. You think, if we deceive King Kendall, he will definitely choose to go to war with us in anger......"

"Just fight, are you still afraid that he won't succeed?!"

"The most important thing Fiona wants to see is for us to fight each other, and when we are almost finished, he can easily clean us up!"

"Alas, this can't do that either...... Hart was so anxious that he walked around the tent, and suddenly he had an idea, clapped his hands and shouted: "By the way, you take advantage of Kendall's inattention, kill him with a knife, and then re-sign a peace agreement with Princess Saiya!"

"Alas, you are shouting so loudly, I'm sure King Kendall in the castle has heard it!"

Hart hurriedly covered his mouth.

"Did you know that when the rats in the house are infested, even if you want to poison the rats with poison, you must not say it, otherwise they will not be fooled when they hear it!"

Hart whispered, "Maybe Kendall didn't hear it! This should be the best idea, you must think about it!"

There was no squeak in the valley rain. It wasn't for nothing that he didn't think about the idea. When he thought of Kendall, he hated it. But if he kills him, Gu Shiyu knows that he can't do it. Killing people is not a very fun thing to do, on the contrary, it will keep you in the shadow of guilt for the rest of your life. Gu Shiyu has practiced for a long time, and has also commanded several battles, although he has killed monsters or enemies, he has often been awakened by nightmares in the middle of the night.

Kendall might be damned, but the old man was still very nice to himself, even treating himself like his son. If this old man doesn't like me, how can he marry his precious daughter to me?

Even if you get the right blow during the assassination, it's hard to predict what might happen afterwards. Jing Ke stabbed the King of Qin before he tried to show up in poverty, so he was so frightened that the King of Qin walked around the pillar, and in the end he was not chopped into meat sauce? I don't want to be turned into meat sauce and finally eaten by wild dogs!

Well, even if I hadn't been chopped into meat sauce, what would Princess Saiya do? She had promised her that she would not harm her father's life under any circumstances! Would she and the generals who were loyal to Kendall forget their hatred and re-sign a peace agreement with me and Princess Catherine, regardless of their past grievances?

Gu Shiyu immediately shook his head.

It seems that there is really no better way than to marry Princess Saiya.

Steaming vats were delivered. Hart helped Gu Shiyu take off his armor and then prepared to leave. Gu Shiyu stopped him: "Hart, wait a minute, you can help me shave my beard, I'm afraid I won't be able to clean it myself." ”

"Okay, I'm going to sharpen my sword......

"Sharpen the sword?" Gu Shiyu was startled: "You better go and sharpen the knife, this makes people feel better." ”

Hart said embarrassedly: "I said it wrong, I originally wanted to say sharpening knives!"

There was a commotion outside the door. It sounded like Eldred arguing with Adra.

"If you want to send it, you can send it yourself, I don't want to see him!" was Adela's voice.

"Adra, this matter has nothing to do with him! he has already made sacrifices to save Her Royal Highness Princess Catherine, what else do you want him?"

"When he was in the Lost Lands, if he hadn't been pestering Her Royal Highness the princess for nothing, how could something like this happen today?"

Gu Shiyu smiled bitterly. Was it wrong for me to chase Catherine? When I was in the Lost Lands, I knew that you didn't like me! If I hadn't eaten a leopard and dared to chase her, she would have become an old girl!

It seems that this cheap brother-in-law is on the same page as himself.

Hart angrily walked out of the tent and shouted, "If he hadn't pulled out the King's Sword and opened the portal seals leading to the Lost Lands, you would still be in the Lost Lands!"

"Although he opened the seal of the portal, he brought war to the world!"

"You're wrong! Before the portal was opened, war broke out in this world!"

"He has a lot of responsibility for this anyway!" Adela left in a huff.

Hart relentlessly chased after him to argue with him. The two argued all the way, leaving Eldred alone outside the tent.

Adridrid couldn't help but blush as he listened to the sound of water in the tent. She looked around as if no one could help her. She had no choice but to cough, blushed and said, "Guzi, you ...... You hide, I'm ...... I'm coming in. ”

There was a thud in the tent, as if a large stone had been thrown into the water. After a while, I heard Gu Shiyu say, "Well, you can come in." ”

Eled's heart pounded. Her eyes only dared to look at her toes, she put her clothes on the low stool beside her, and ran out in a panic.

"Oops, I'm ashamed!" she patted her chest and gasped, looking around secretly, but luckily no one paid attention to her.

Gu Shiyu picked up his clothes, put them under his nose and sniffed them. The clothes are white, and there is a faint fragrance. He sighed and began to slowly get dressed.

Where did this kid go? Gu Shiyu touched his chin, feeling fluffy and a little prickly. Looks like this beard has to be shaved by itself.

There are no mirrors to refer to, and it is really not very easy to shave. Although the knife is fastidious, it will cut through the skin if you are not careful. Gu Shiyu was working his face when Hart suddenly opened the tent door and walked in. When he saw it, he shouted, "Oh, didn't I say I was going to help you!"

As soon as Gu Shiyu's hand shook, a bloody mark was cut on his face, and the pain made him inhale.

"I'll come, look at you clumsy!" Hart reproached.

Two more people walked in the tent. A person's steps are light, like a gust of wind, and it also brings a faint fragrance. There was also a man whose footsteps were so heavy that it felt like an elephant walking into a tent.

Gu Shiyu didn't dare to speak, if he was stabbed in the face again, it would be miserable! He had no choice but to wave his hand and signal them to wait.

The man was like a black iron tower, covered with muscle bumps all over his body, and he knew that he had endless strength at a glance.

Gu Shiyu looked at him in a daze, feeling as if he had seen it somewhere, but suddenly he couldn't remember anything.

"He's an assistant to General Sosa, and he says there's something he wants to give you!" Edred explained.

As soon as Sosa was mentioned, Gu Shiyu immediately remembered. Yes, the first time he came to Tekken Castle, King Kendall detained him, and thanks to the help of the city's blacksmiths, he managed to escape from the city. The blacksmith was of the same stature as him, but not as young as he was.

This man must be the blacksmith's son, right? Gu Shiyu believed that he had not looked away.

"I know your father!Is he okay now?" Gu Shiyu held his hand tightly.

"On the night he sent you out of the city, he and a dozen of his fellow smiths died in a glorious battle on the city wall!" Iron Tower shoved an object into his hand, then looked at him and said, "I hope his death is worth it!"

Gu Shiyu spread out his palm, and what he held in his palm was a piece of warm black jade. Isn't this the piece of black jade that I gave to the blacksmith last time and asked him to help him escape?

Although the black jade is here, the deceased is gone......

Gu Shiyu stared blankly at the piece of black jade, and his hands had begun to tremble slightly.

In order to rescue him alone, more than a dozen lives were taken!

Is what they are doing now worth their sacrifice?

Gu Shiyu held the black jade tightly in his hand. He had already decided that he must do something to comfort the souls of those heroes in heaven!
