Chapter XXVIII Treasury Bonds (3)
The square finally came alive. Seya took Gu Shiyu's hand and walked down the steps of the Capitol step by step. Loyal royal guards surrounded her, surrounding her.
"You all get down! I want to be with my people. Saiya said to the captain of the guard.
"Your Majesty, it is our duty to keep you safe!"
"You have surrounded me like this, and there has been a gap between me and the people. I have to go among them, listen to them, understand their suffering. Saiya said calmly: "I don't think my people will hurt me! besides, with a capable Prince Regent by my side, who else would dare to plot against me?"
"Okay, but I'll have to arrange for a few men to follow you!" the captain of the guard removed the guards surrounding King Saiya, and he and a few skilled guards followed her with their swords on guard.
"Your Majesty, Your Highness the Prince!" the people gave way to both sides of the road and saluted them respectfully. Saiya and Gu Shiyu also smiled at them.
"Grain!" Seya leaned his body against Gu Shiyu's thick and strong arms, like ivy surrounding a tree. His arm is very strong, which makes Saiya feel very safe. By now, she finally understood her father's good intentions. Kendall, despite being scolded by the world, forcibly broke up his marriage to his sister Catherine because the person in front of him was indeed dutiful in protecting himself! She said happily: "Do you see the smiles on their faces? I see loyalty in their eyes!"
"Yes...... They respect you and support you! I see a spark in their eyes, and that is faith and courage!"
"Gu Zi ......" Saiya raised his face: "Are you willing to accompany me and let my people live with a smile forever?"
"We ...... Let's defeat the invaders first!" Gu Shiyu didn't dare to look at Saiya's eyes.
He knew what it was like. That look is like the warmest sunlight in winter, enough to melt any snow or ice!
Is this a grant to her request, or a refusal to her?
"Your answer is at least promised that you will accompany me to drive away the invaders!" said to himself. At least I have you now, and who knows what will happen in the future?
Let the time do the talking! Saya pulled Gu Shiyu's hand tighter.
With every step, Saiya's delicate body rubbed against Gu Shiyu's arms, especially the pair of beautiful white doves on her chest......
Gu Shiyu is struggling and enjoying......
He still can't forget Catherine!
But it is clear that he has lost her forever!
Why did she choose to marry Roland so quickly after leaving herself?
She...... What is she doing now? Is she wearing a wedding dress and holding hands with Roland on the red carpet of the church, or is she exchanging wedding rings with him and hugging and kissing?
Maybe they are walking in the crowd like themselves, receiving their cheers and blessings?
I'm sorry, Catherine, but please forgive me...... I have no way back and must choose to forget you......
Catherine, please forget me too...... I wish you eternal happiness......
Gu Shiyu's footsteps became slower and slower, and finally stopped.
Seya still pressed Keto against his arm, just raising her head and looking at him in surprise.
Gu Shiyu turned his body and looked at Saiya's face silently.
That face was like a blooming lily. So beautiful, so white and flawless!
There was a hint of melancholy between her brows. Beautiful girl, what bothers you can't forget?
Gu Shiyu couldn't help but kiss her lightly on the forehead. Did he want to kiss the faint melancholy between her eyebrows?
Saia's brows furrowed! Her little face flushed, and she immediately stood on tiptoe and returned the favor with Gu Shiyu.
His beard was stiff and tickled on his face...... She wanted to caress his beard, but she was a little shy!
Who has ever seen the first beautiful flower on the grassland blown by the first spring breeze? She will carry the morning dewdrops, trembling slightly in the still cool wind, but the fragrance of the first vomit can make people intoxicated in an instant!
Although it was already winter, Gu Shiyu had already felt the arrival of spring! The steps of spring were gentle, but Gu Shiyu felt it, because she was staying on Seya's face at the moment and refused to leave!
There is nothing superfluous to say...... Who said that you have to use your mouth to communicate? In this situation, just eyes are enough!
But Gu Shiyu still said a word: "Saiya, I will protect you well and never let you suffer any harm again!"
"I'll always remember what you said!" Seya's eyes were red and moist.
The crowd of onlookers applauded.
The play prepared by Cuthbert is wonderful. The story is about a well-to-do family, and when the war came, the man chose to go into exile...... He and his relatives were scattered everywhere, but now there is war everywhere, and there is no place for a single inch of paradise. Seeing his loved ones fall one by one, he finally lamented, regretting that he didn't fight like a real man!
"I thought I could escape the war! I thought I could protect my wealth! I thought I could protect my family!
Yes, the wealth is still there, but what about my relatives...... Where are they?
Without them, what is the point of my life in the world?
What should I do? Hold on to this damned pile of wealth and live in shame and steal my life, living in endless guilt and remorse every day?
Almighty God, help me...... Let's start all over again!
If I could start over, I would choose to take up arms and fight the enemy!"
"My child!" a voice came from behind the curtain: "You only have one choice! If you make the wrong choice, you will have to pay for your wrong actions!"
"God, I am willing to exchange all my wealth for the lives of my loved ones!"
"Foolish man, wealth is a pile of dung in my eyes! When life is about to end, you will feel that you can't take it with you at all! No matter whether you are rich or poor, everyone needs the same fate, either a pile of loess or a fire! It is a pity that the world regards wealth as more important than life! Now you should understand that life cannot be bought by any wealth!"
"God, I am doing this to save my own lives and those of my loved ones......"
"You're not saving, you're running away! You're shifting the responsibility of the battle to others, hoping that others will protect you and your family, while you're hiding like a pitiful worm! Now you should understand that you and your loved ones can't be saved by others, but only by yourself!" God rebuked him.
"Tell me, God, what should I do now?"
"Child, will you trade all your wealth for a sword?"
"I'm willing to ......"
A sword was immediately thrown down from above the stage.
"Pick it up and fight the enemy bravely! You can't save your loved ones anymore, so go save someone else's loved ones! If you die honorably on the battlefield, I will let you reunite with your loved ones in Heaven!"
The man picked up the sword and screamed and rushed at the demon that appeared on the side of the stage!
In the sound of battle, the curtain was slowly closed.
The audience applauded enthusiastically.
"Very good! This script was written by Cuthbert, I didn't expect him to be so talented!" Gu Shiyu smiled.
"It's very touching!Guzi, everyone around me is very capable!" Saya looked teary-eyed, she took out a handkerchief to wipe her tears, and sobbed.
Alas, why are you women like this? I thought that only my mother would shed tears when she watched soap operas!
When the curtain opens again, a large group of beautiful women appear on the stage with their belly buttons exposed, and then dance a sultry and sexy dance.
The audience immediately whistled and screamed.
"They're going to catch a cold!" is what Seya says about the beauties.
Gu Shiyu nodded seriously. He didn't dare to say that this was his bad idea, otherwise these beauties might come to him with a blue nose after dancing to ask him for medical expenses! He immediately pointed to the performance venue of the soldiers and said, "Let's go over there and have a look!"
Several warriors as strong as oxen were wrestling with each other shirtless. Their bulging muscles attracted the envious eyes of many girls and young women.
A strong man threw down all his opponents, then patted his chest and shouted to the audience: "Give your sons, brothers, and husbands to the army! I dare say that in less than a year, he will become a real man!"
Many young women were tempted. Yes, why wasn't his husband as strong as they were? He always seemed so incapable and hasty in his work! How good it would be if he could be as strong as these warriors......
The arrival of Saiya and Gu Shiyu naturally caused a sensation in the crowd again. People applauded and asked His Royal Highness to come on stage to perform.
Gu Shiyu jumped on the performance stage, picked up a spear casually, shook his wrist, spit out a few spear flowers, and then performed a set of marksmanship.
Spears are not Gu Shiyu's forte. But he practiced marksmanship when he was a child, and he still knows the basic routines. The marksmanship pays attention to the quick eyes and fast hands, and the waist and steps follow each other, and the spear is danced by him vigorously.
Erathia's spearmen practice guns every day, but they are practicing the skills of killing people against wooden stakes, where is there such a brave and good-looking routine? The people in the audience were dazzled, and the applause and screams were higher and higher!
"You're awesome!" said Seya wiped the beads of sweat from his forehead with a handkerchief. There was her warm and fragrant scent on it.
"It's almost noon, let's go over there and see if lunch is ready!" Gu Shiyu said.
There were already a lot of people lining up in front of the dining area to pick up bread and pies. The arrival of the two naturally caused cheers from the people.
Saiya also received a loaf of bread and a pie. She took small bites, then nodded and praised, "It's the most delicious thing I've ever eaten!"
Gu Shiyu looked at the square with a slight smile. He didn't have to worry about Cumbert having nothing to do! The treasury bond subscription area over there was already a sea of people, and there was a long queue. Some people hold money bags in their hands, while others hold their pockets tightly and look to see how many people are in front of them.
In the past, he always felt that he was an outsider to this world, and he didn't care about me when you beat your head and blood, but now he feels like he is in the middle of it!
I can't be defeated!" Gu Shiyu clenched his fists and secretly reminded himself: No matter what, I must be worthy of everyone's trust in me!
