Chapter 282: Meticulous and Inadequate
Zachary caught up with Heath and asked uncertainly, "Captain, is this ...... Do you want to bring Arya?"
"Then what do you think? Do you want to go back again, then you can stay!" Heath pointed with his chin in the direction of the summer wind, and sped to catch up.
Zachary glanced at Arya, and although his head was full of question marks, he didn't dare to delay any longer.
"I'm not staying here. At the thought of the rabbi's ugly face just now, Zachary was happy, and he couldn't stay, he couldn't stay.
The routes out of the training camp had been planned in advance, and with their skills, it was not difficult to be unaware, and the escorts in charge of receiving them were waiting not far away, so they quickly arrived at the meeting point.
Because Xia Feng was injured, Hiss asked the guards to prepare the carriage in advance, although the speed would be slower, but compared to the secondary damage that riding might bring him, these were completely negligible.
Fighting with the man in black before, Xia Feng's body suffered heavy blows in many places, which is indeed not suitable for violent bumps, and Hiss's arrangement can be said to be very thoughtful.
Xia Feng is beautiful in his heart, if you want to be careful, these people who follow him, Hiss is definitely the first, not only his personal guard, but also the most powerful assistant, from the Royal Praetorian Guard to his side for less than a year, he has completely adapted to his own style of acting, adapted to his new job, new identity, he is so difficult to serve, he can do it to this extent, it is really powerful.
When Xia Feng stepped into the carriage, he gave a thumbs up to Hiss, not only appreciating, but also thanking him for his concern.
"Little sister, let's take the car together!" Xia Feng beckoned.
Zachary hurriedly put Arya in the carriage, anyway, she is emotionally unstable now, and she can't understand what to ask, so it is better to let her slow down first.
It took a while for Arya to get into the carriage and really react to what was happening.
"Uh...... We...... Where are you going?"
"You'll know when you get there, don't worry, no one will hurt you anymore. Xia Feng hung his head and leaned back on his seat, slowly adjusting his chaotic breathing from running fast, looking tired.
Arya secretly observed the simple and noble decorations in the carriage, and faintly felt that all this was extraordinary, and those soldiers just now, who looked very powerful, were all respectful to the young man in front of them, and several officers even knelt down on one knee and saluted.
"That...... Excuse me...... You are ......"
Xia Feng closed his eyes and smiled lightly, and said in a low voice: "Young lady, don't be so polite and restrained, it's okay, if you want to tell your story now, I will listen to it; β
The young man's words were very polite, but the tone was too cold, and the coldness made people can't help but be afraid, not to mention that in this completely unfamiliar environment, if it weren't for Zachary outside, Arya felt that she might have jumped out of the car and escaped.
Xia Feng definitely didn't mean to scare people, he was just too tired, his body and spirit didn't obey him, and he didn't have the strength to maintain his usual gentle attitude.
"I ...... I ......"
Arya was so flustered that she wanted to say something, but when Xia Feng raised her head to look at herself, all the words were blocked again, her pupils were dilated, and her face was full of disbelief and shock.
This is...... Who's this?
With a handsome face, an elegant figure, raised eyes and a shallow smile, and a clear voice, even if he just sits there quietly, he is already a celestial figure, and his beauty is a taboo, capable of turning all beings upside down.
Arya moved away in a panic, as if it was blasphemy for just looking at the other party, but she couldn't help but watch secretly, and all the words had lost their color in front of him.
The enchantment disappeared, and there was no need to waste magic to maintain it, so Xia Feng naturally returned to his original appearance, and then the person on the other side looked stupid directly, okay, that's fine, he didn't want to think about anything now, he just wanted to have a good rest, and it was best to get to the destination so quietly.
Unconsciously, Xia Feng lowered his head again, and his quiet figure revealed indescribable weakness and exhaustion.
The team moved forward quietly, because there was a lot of delay before, so there was no rest halfway, the only relatively big movement during the period was that Arya woke up and escaped from the carriage, she realized that she didn't seem to be qualified to sit with that person at all, although Zachary and the others didn't think so, but she insisted on not getting on the car again, Xia Feng has been in a half-asleep state, so she didn't pay attention to these.
At noon the next day, the procession arrived at Rochelle Fort without incident, and the head of the castle lined up with all the officials and nobles to greet him, but he did not even see the face of the third prince.
Heath had informed the other party that they didn't have to do these things, but they didn't listen, and they couldn't blame Xia Feng for not giving face.
The large force entered the Rochelle Fort directly, and the carriage carrying the summer breeze stopped at the Rose Palace, located in the center of the castle.
"Your Highness, we have arrived. Heath whispered outside the car door.
Xia Feng was awake when he entered the palace, and when he saw the car door open, he immediately walked down.
Heath and Zachary gasped the moment they saw the summer breeze.
"Your Highness!"
"Huh?" Xia Feng replied in a low voice, looking at the dozens of marble steps in front of him, and felt dizzy.
"You ......"
The two of them couldn't believe their eyes, no one had noticed it before because of the camouflage of enchantment, Xia Feng's state was already so bad, his face was sickly pale, extremely ugly, the undersides of his eyes and lips were blue-gray, it was not an exaggeration to say that this person appeared in front of them almost in a dying state, bloodless, lifeless, and very different from his always sunny and happy image.
Hiss stepped forward and held Xia Feng, and at this moment, he suddenly realized something terrible that made him feel cold in his heart - even if it was the danger of the sky falling, without the help of others, Xia Feng Yanhua would have been alone.
"Your Highness, you need to continue your treatment. β
Xia Feng smiled: "I know how to heal myself, I know what my situation is now, you don't have to worry." β
"There must be another way, Grand Magician Royal......"
Xia Feng walked up the steps and waved his hand to interrupt Hiss: "Forget it, don't bother Lady Antorotti, healing magic is not of much use to me now." "If he has the strength, he can solve it himself, the problem is a paradox now, and he is too lazy to waste time. "I just...... I haven't suffered such a serious trauma for too long, the complexion caused by excessive blood loss, and the strength is at a low point, so it is difficult to recover, and it seems more serious. β
"You say that every time, but every once in a while, such and such things come out, again and again...... It's getting worse......" Zachary couldn't help but grumble.
"It's not as serious as you say. Xia Feng smiled helplessly, but he agreed in his heart, he seems to have a lot of things to do recently? No way, the good days of "nothing and light" have left him.
The three of them walked up the steps, and after the air was silent for a long time, Hiss suddenly said, "Your Highness, you still have us, you can ...... Try to rely on us. β
"Of course, I've been relying on you!" Xia Feng responded without hesitation, "What are you thinking?" If it weren't for the two of you, who would clean up the mess for me, who would take me to heal my injuries, who would prepare the carriage for me and arrange everything, where would I have the strength to stand here?"
Looking back, dozens of steps have been trampled underfoot, and from a distance, the wide square and lush shrubs are soothing.
"That's just as well!" said Zachary, who was as easy to cope as ever.
Heath looked at Xia Feng, although he didn't say anything more, but his heart was drilled with horns, he felt that without them, this person could stand here the same, but in a different way - once the thought of self-blame appeared, it would be uncontrollable to flood.
"Zachary, go and ask where the troops are. Xia Feng commanded.
Zachary said yes and walked over to the officials not far away.
Xia Feng raised his eyebrows proudly and glared at Hiss: "Look, anytime, anywhere." β
Hiss sighed and refused to argue more on the matter, knowing that there would be no result.
After Xia Feng washed up and changed his clothes, and his spirit seemed to be better, Zachary ran over to report that the troops would be near the castle early tomorrow morning.
"...... The procession carrying the body of Jastin Edward and most of the wounded was to pass through here before heading straight for Haina City, followed by a large force under Colonel Gendry. β
Jastin Edward sacrificedβ
Xia Feng had forgotten how he felt when he first heard the news, probably more shocked and angry, but at this moment, it all turned into deep helplessness and bitterness.
There was a long silence in the room, and Heath and Zachary did not dare to speak, they both knew that the hope that Xia Feng had always held in his heart had long been shattered.
"Preparing for the memorial service, I'm going to give him a ride. Xia Feng said.
His voice was cold and clear, as if shining with a metallic luster, faint, steady......
"Yes!"
Unable to stand such a depressing atmosphere, Zachary tried to persuade: "That...... Your Highness, don't be too sad, Your Majesty has ordered a monument to be erected in the city of the Azores to commemorate the war and the people who died in it, they ...... They ......"
As he spoke, his voice became more and more harsh, and finally he had to stop it.
Xia Feng looked at the way Zachary lowered his head, and the corners of his lips curled into a shallow smile.
"The living live well, and the dead, who knows how much they are unwilling? It is enough not to disturb each other, there is no need to dwell on this. Xia Feng said lightly, "You guys go get busy, I'll sleep for a while." β
Xia Feng collapsed on the sofa and closed his eyes.
Zachary looked at Heath with a confused expression, as if he didn't understand the meaning of Xia Feng's words at all. Hiss shook his head, different people understood the same words differently, he didn't want to explain anything, just picked up Xia Feng and sent him into the bedroom.
