Chapter 80: Strange People
Hearing Situ Jin's words, Theresia's hands stiffened, then she raised her head and glanced at Situ Jin expressionlessly, and withdrew her hands.
Ferdinand on the side laughed embarrassedly twice, and then symbolically said a few words of encouragement to Situ Jin, just when Situ Jin thought that Ferdinand was about to turn around and leave, Ferdinand suddenly whispered to Situ Jin: "I'll wait for you at the gate of Beiying, see you later!"
Situ Nan paused for a moment, and then shook his head helplessly
At the same time, in a red castle deep inside the palace, a blonde man was sitting on a high-backed sandalwood bench, with a hint of a smile on the corner of his mouth, this person was none other than Robert, the eldest prince of the Yarrow Empire. Next to Robert stood a man, dressed in a black magic robe, whose face was completely covered by the hat on the magic robe.
"Are you saying that my father has only two years to live at most?" Robert asked, looking at the man standing beside him.
The man known as Nichol bowed to the man and said in a low voice, "Yes, Great Prince, this is the result of the prediction of the most authoritative prophetic mage of our Magic Guild, so there can be no mistake. β
A glint flashed in Robert's eyes: "Two years! Time is running out, I should also prepare!" After speaking, Robert suddenly asked, "How is it? Is my imperial brother still in Beiying?"
Nichol nodded and said, "Yes, the eldest prince, but the Beiying exercise has ended, and presumably the second prince will leave soon." β
"The exercise is over?" Robert frowned slightly: "I remember that it hasn't been two days since the exercise started!
Nichol replied, "I don't know exactly what's going on, why don't you send someone to investigate?"
Robert waved his hand: "That's it, a little episode has nothing to do with the overall situation, everything is ready, right?"
"Great Prince, please rest assured!" Nichol's head rose slightly: "This time it is the eighth-level magician Gu Slen who is one of the best in our Magic Guild, and he will never survive once he comes out!"
Robert nodded, and then, the smile that had been hanging on the corner of his mouth suddenly disappeared, and he said coldly: "Hmph! If it weren't for the fact that the old thing of my father was too greedy for power, and he still refused to announce the next emperor's candidate, how would I have to make so many preparations?"
After speaking, Robert sneered: "Speaking of which, my royal brother and sister are really naΓ―ve, they think they can compete with me, especially my royal sister, thinking that marrying with the Situ family can separate the relationship between me and the Situ family, it is really ridiculous!
After a pause, a cold light flashed in Robert's eyes: "But" He didn't finish the next words, he was silent for a long time, and Robert said: "You go and get busy first, I'll wait here for your news!"
Nichol bowed slightly: "Okay! His Royal Highness the Great Prince!"
In the north camp of the imperial capital, no matter whether everyone is convinced or not, this quarterly exercise finally ended with the [13th Battalion] winning the championship.
The barracks are not as good as the outside, there are not so many complicated procedures, the rankings have come out, the prizes have been distributed, and everyone has dispersed, where to go back. Tomorrow, when the rankings of the other three military camps come out, the results of the exercises in the north camp will be sent to the palace together with the results of the exercises of the other three military camps, and presented to the emperor for his attention.
According to the regulations, after each quarterly exercise, the army will give the officers and men below three days off and allow everyone to go out and have a good time. After all, soldiers are also human beings, and after staying in the army for a long time, and having just participated in the exercise, they also need to go out to relax and relax.
Situ Jin did not return to the 13th camp with everyone, he asked Marven to distribute the 1,500 gold coins he had just received to everyone in the [13th camp], and then went straight out of the North Camp.
As soon as he got out of the gate of Beiying, he saw a carriage parked nearby, he glanced in the direction of the carriage, and then a hand suddenly stretched out from the window of the carriage and beckoned to him, Situ Jin shook his head helplessly, and walked in the direction of the carriage.
After getting into the carriage, the second prince Ferdinand was indeed sitting in the carriage. Seeing Situ Jin, he was obviously very happy: "Haha! I thought I would have to wait for a while, but I didn't expect you to come so soon!"
Situ Jin rolled his eyes: "His Royal Highness the Second Prince summoned me, how dare I not come!"
Ferdinand waved his hand and said, "Don't be sour with me, if someone else says this, it's still credible, you?"
Situ Jin habitually raised his eyebrows: "What's wrong with me?"
Ferdinand shrugged his shoulders and no longer talked about this topic, but suddenly sighed: "Situ Jin, you are really a strange person!" After speaking, without waiting for Situ Jin to speak, Ferdinand said again: "I stayed in the 13th battalion for a while before you came, I know very well what the 13th battalion was like before, such a battalion can be trained by you like this, I can't think of any other words to describe you except strange people!"
Situ Jin's face was indifferent, and he smiled and said, "You won't call me out just to say these things to me, right?"
Ferdinand paused for a moment, and then his expression returned to normal: "Forget it, don't say these words! I called you out to take you to a place." After a pause, Ferdinand added: Don't ask what it is, you'll find out later. β
Seeing Ferdinand's appearance of selling off, Situ Jin stopped talking.
The carriage traveled all the way, and I don't know how long it was, Situ Jin suddenly spoke: "Second prince, is the place where you want to take me far away from the emperor?"
Hearing Situ Jin's inexplicable words suddenly, a trace of doubt flashed in Ferdinand's eyes, but he immediately replied: "The place I want to take you to is on the outskirts of the imperial capital, why do you come from far away?"
As soon as Ferdinand finished speaking, he saw Situ Jin's face condensed, he was about to speak, but he saw Situ Jin make a silent gesture to him, Ferdinand was not an ordinary person, seeing Situ Jin's sudden move, he knew that something must have happened.
"Second Prince, we must be out of the imperial capital now, it seems that there is something abnormal!" Situ Jin said in a very low voice.
At this time, Ferdinand also noticed that something was wrong, he thought for a while, and suddenly his face changed, and said: "There must be something wrong with the coachman!"
Situ Jin nodded, and just as he wanted to speak, the two of them suddenly felt a jolt in the carriage, and then the speed of the entire carriage suddenly accelerated, like a flying arrow that suddenly loosened on the string, and headed towards the front at a high speed.
"Not good!" Situ Jin suddenly shouted, without waiting for Ferdinand to react, one hand grabbed Ferdinand's clothes, and the other hand slammed into the door panel of the carriage, and the next second, the door panel exploded, almost at the same time, Situ Jin grabbed Ferdinand's body and jumped out.
