Chapter 24: Marriage Change (2)
How long will it take for them to get up? Many of the onlookers chose to leave, and only the knights who bet on who would win were still waiting boredly and chatting.
Jasmine kicked Gabriel and Lucifer a few times, but they were both as drunk as dead pigs, where did they wake up?
The two brothers are at odds with each other over who is qualified to pursue Jasmine. Let anything else do, let women never do! They first fought for wine, and after it was difficult to distinguish between victory and defeat, they took advantage of the drunkenness to compare riding and spearmanship, and as a result, they all fell off their horses, and were too drunk to wake up.
What should I do, no one to play with me, no one to talk to!!
The knight next to him was already impatient to wait, and walked over with two buckets of water.
"What are you going to do?" Jasmine jumped up at once.
"Let them sober up! Little girl, if you want to sit by and wait, you will probably have to wait until dawn tomorrow!"
"Won't that freeze them?" Jasmine worried.
"They're strong, probably not!" the knight poured a bucket of cold water on Gabriel and Lucifer head-on, regardless of the three-seven-twenty-one.
"Hmm......" The two of them were all excited, opened their eyes slightly, and immediately began to vomit, and then fell into a deep sleep again.
"Forget it, the game ended in a draw!" said the knight, frustrated as he threw down the barrel and declared helplessly to his companions.
Jasmine was left in the grounds, with Gabriel and Lucifer sleeping underground. Watching the sun go down, Jasmine had to drag them to the tent one by one.
"Oh my God, I want to throw up too!" Smelling the strong smell of alcohol and vomit, Jasmine quickly escaped from the tent.
"Jasmine, I'm looking for you! aren't the two of them awake yet?" Catherine and Eldrid were walking this way.
"Not yet! I really don't understand, what's so good about wine! It's not sweet at all, it's hotter than boiling water, and it's even a little bitter...... Aren't they asking for their own suffering? Why do they want to drink so much?"
"Yes, men are surprisingly stupid...... "Catherine shook her head, "don't look at the usual pretense of all of them, as soon as they drink the wine, they will be revealed!"
"I don't even want to pay attention to them when they do this!" said Jasmine.
"Don't you know why they drink so much?" asked Catherine.
"How do I know...... They usually want to be good, and they will leave some good food for each other. But once they drank the wine, the two of them seemed to have a big opinion, and they were not convinced by each other, blowing their beards and staring at each other......"
"You're such a silly girl!" Eldred laughed, "we all know that, but you don't understand." Both of them like you, and they drink and gamble for you!"
"Huh?" Jasmine's eyes widened. "This ...... I really don't know!"
"Which of the two of them do you like best?"
"I ...... Both loved ......"
"Alas, I'm asking you which one you like the most, you can't marry two men at the same time!"
"I don't want to get married, I'm still young, am I?" said Jasmine, looking at the two older sisters.
"Well, this ...... It can also be said that it is still small. Catherine said helplessly.
It seems that the two brothers, Gabriel and Lucifer, will have to continue their struggle until Jasmine has begun to fall in love.
After daybreak, the troops were already preparing for departure. Gabriel and Lucifer were dragged by Jasmine's ears. The two men were still dazed, looking at the puddle of vomit on the ground, and they both shook their heads, trying to remember what happened yesterday.
"Hurry up! Brother Gu Zi and Sister Princess are all ready, and they are about to leave!"
The two of them immediately jumped up and staggered out of the tent to wash.
"Lucifer, how did we get drunk?" asked Gabriel as he washed his face with a towel.
"You ask me, who am I going to ask? I only remember when the banquet started yesterday, and I don't remember the rest of the matter!"
"Me too! Alas, now my stomach is empty, and it's very uncomfortable! Didn't we eat anything yesterday?"
"Hey, two brave little knights, are you all right?" the cavalry vanguard had already begun to set off, and as they passed by the two men, someone shouted loudly.
"Whoever gets up first this morning, whoever gets up first is the champion!"
The knights laughed out loud.
"What's going on?" said Gabriel and Lucifer looked at them suspiciously.
"Have you forgotten what happened yesterday, you gave us a wonderful equestrian show!" laughed the knights.
"Oh, you're still grinding! you want them to laugh?" Jasmine pushed the two of them behind her back, urging.
The army marched towards Standwick, and the rebels who joined them along the way were endless, and even two cities immediately declared their allegiance to Catherine, and Catherine was immediately shocked.
By the time the army approached Standwick Castle, nearly 30,000 men had been gathered. However, due to the rush of the schedule, the teams have not yet had time to complete the training, and the establishment is a little chaotic. But the momentum was so great that the defenders of the castle were intimidated.
Countless residents gathered in the streets and walked towards the council chamber.
The doors of the council chamber are closed, and the parliamentarians are holding an emergency meeting. A white-robed shaman walked up the steps of the council hall and waved his arm at the people: "Residents of Standwick, we remember the wise and benevolent King Geffenhardt, and we miss the days of Her Majesty's regency! I believe everyone is disgusted by the tyranny of King Kendall! Now, the long-awaited Princess Catherine has returned, and she has brought back the heroes who practiced in the Lost Lands, uniting the scattered volunteers. Erathia is chaotic enough, we can't let it continue, Erathia needs a new king to unite us all!"
This is the Archpriest of the Standwick Castle School of Magic, and he is highly respected. Everyone looked at him and listened to him continue.
"Why should we close the gates of the city, why should we shut out our future majesty, why should the generals and parliamentarians discuss such a simple question? Do you want to use your sword against your compatriots outside the city and splash the blood of our people?"
"We cannot be silent! We must be brave enough to stand up and speak out! Residents, shout and let those in power hear our voices!"
A landslide and tsunami erupted in the square!
"Listen, people in power, can you turn a deaf ear in the face of such a voice? If you are still hesitating and lingering, then let us make the right decision for you!"
"Compatriots, follow me, open the gates of the Red Keep and rescue our esteemed Queen Regent, and then open the gates to welcome our Highness the Princess, and welcome our warriors back in triumph!"
Tens of thousands of people gathered and marched mightily towards the Red Fort on the side of the palace. It was once Princess Catherine's palace and now serves as a cage for King Guffenhardt's queen and former regent, Queen Regent.
When Laurel appeared on the vaulted balcony of the Red Keep and waved to everyone, the people looked up and cheered.
"Standwick must not shed blood! I command, all soldiers, all residents, to open the gates at once and welcome our sons and daughters back!"
The councillors and generals also arrived, and they said loudly: "We have made a decision to open the city gates at once and welcome Her Royal Highness Princess Catherine and their honorable return!"
Laurel hurried down the Red Keep and said to the councillors and generals who had come to greet her: "What about the Lord of Alexandria and his wife, do not embarrass them!"
The lord of Alexandria strongly objected to the opening of the gates, saying that it was a betrayal of Erathia. When they tried to persuade him, they tied him up and detained him in Parliament. ”
"Let him go! he is simply fulfilling the order given to him by King Kendall, and let him stay as he chooses!" Laurel couldn't wait to see her longing daughter, and she trotted all the way to the city gates.
"Yes!" a general shouted at the guards, "Listen to His Majesty the Regent, and immediately go and release the city lord!"
Catherine lined up the army outside the city and rode her horse towards the city gates. Gu Shiyu was taken aback, and immediately followed: "Catherine, what do you want to do?"
"This is where I was born and raised, and I have to talk to them and try to resolve it peacefully and bloodlessly. ”
"I'll go with you!"
Looking at the majestic Standwick Castle, Gu Shiyu was secretly surprised. This castle is no less sturdy than King Kendall's Iron Fist Castle. Why do people like to build a castle on top of a hill? Of course, being condescending is certainly good for defense, but once it is besieged, it becomes a dead place. Unless you can afford to fight a war of attrition, you can fight with others for a long time.
"Historically, Standwick has never fallen!" said Catherine proudly. When she came to the gates, she ignored the glittering arrows and spears on the walls, and raised her sword and shouted, "I am Princess Catherine, the daughter of King Gffenhardt, and this is the sword of the king of Erathia!
The soldiers laid down their weapons and began to talk. A hero shouted from the city: "Your Royal Highness, the duty of a soldier is to obey orders. Please wait, the parliamentarians are meeting to discuss. ”
"Well, I'll wait here for your decision!" Catherine looked up at the top of the mountain, the red palace was the Red Keep, which had been her own palace, but now it had become her mother's cage.
From time to time, there were shouts from the city, but the expressions of the soldiers on the walls were still very serious. As well-trained professional soldiers, they have their own honors, but what to do now, in fact, they are also very confused.
"If they don't open the city gates, what are you going to do?" asked Gu Shiyu.
"I don't know......," Catherine actually hesitated, "Maybe I'll withdraw my troops!" but on condition they have to put my mother back. ”
Gu Shiyu looked a little nervous. He immediately checked his bag to see if there was anything decent in his pocket that he could take out as a gift.
There are some useless equipment in my pocket, and the only ones I can get my hands on are gold bags and diamond rings.
Catherine looked at Gu Shiyu and took off the ring on her hand and wiped it on her clothes. She said strangely, "What's the matter, is the ring dirty? I see it's clean!"
"The first time I see my mother-in-law, I have to prepare some gifts! Except for weapons and equipment, I only have this thing in my hands!"
Catherine sneered, "She won't ask for anything from you, as long as you are good to me, she will be very satisfied." ”
"Whether she wants it or not is her business, and whether she gives it or not is my business. Gu Shiyu said with a smile. He lifted the gemstone ring, took a few breaths upward, rubbed it hard with his sleeve, and then lifted it, facing the sun.
This gemstone ring is a very magical treasure that automatically produces one unit of gem every day. This is equivalent to sending out a gem mine, but Gu Shiyu didn't feel reluctant. Other people's baby daughters have let themselves get their hands on them, what is it to give this little thing?
