Chapter 2: The Nightingale's Song
Soon the Emperor's eyes were taken away from the group of slaves, and his eyes were fixed on the front of the main road
Fang, he heard the faint sound of horses' hooves coming from that direction. Pen, Fun, Pavilion www.biquge.info this subtle voice Linda naturally paid attention to it
arrived, but she still looked curiously in the direction of the emperor's gate, and it was only a moment in between.
The road ahead was dusty, and the sound of horses' hooves was getting louder and louder. Emperor Men just listened to this
The sound of horses' hooves estimated the number of the horse's horses, three hundred, and the sound of horses' hooves was thick but not heavy
Heavy, light and not vain, the emperor felt that these horses must be fast horses in the army. From the sound of horses' hooves
Judging from the direction, the other party seems to be coming from Burnt City, and it is not conducive to a long drive, so yes
Fang's destination seems to be near here. Although the emperor believes that his previous actions will not attract the old nobles
, but he still began to plan a countermeasure.
The sound of horses' hooves approached until the emperor could see the other party's clothes and appearances, and the group of people was indeed Pente
The soldiers of the city, but also the elite troops, more than 300 light cavalry are not only equipped with perfect weapons and armor
They also carried a gunpowder-filled rifle on their backs, although the firing range and power of this rifle were although
Far inferior to the magic hand cannon, but the effective range of eight hundred steps and the ability to penetrate thin steel armor,
It's still a lot stronger than a bow and crossbow. Such a group of soldiers is placed in the entire Enka Military District, that's all
The combat effectiveness is one of the best, but what makes the emperor a little puzzled is why such a group of people
Why did he stop in front of his ox cart?
Yes, the group of soldiers all stopped steadily in front of the Emperor's ox cart, and the whole process was not only time-consuming
And the queue wasn't messed up. Well-trained, they stopped and had no other movements, only the lead
A sergeant dressed in the uniform of a high-ranking officer dismounted and walked towards the Imperial Gate.
This man did not wear light armor like the other soldiers, but wore a neat tan military uniform without pleats.
There are several medals on the chest of the uniform. The Emperor knew these medals, and some of them were
The Commander-in-Chief of the Kingdom of Tari was awarded, but more often than not, the medal was awarded directly by the king. Plus
The scar on the left side of the young man's mouth in front of him, and his slightly heroic appearance, Emperor Men immediately guessed
The identity of the person in front of him - the adjutant of the captain of the Pente City Guard, the youngest son of the commander-in-chief who joined the army at the age of fifteen
, a young nobleman with outstanding military achievements, and Thor of the third class, who was only twenty years old.
Thor approached the ox cart with a serious expression, although the emperor had already guessed that the other party must not be
came to find himself, but he still took Linda out of the car and stood quietly next to the car waiting for the other party to speak. Thor though
However, he was a little concerned about the left eye of the emperor, but he only took a few more looks, as for the one next to the emperor
Linda was directly ignored by him. The real goal of his trip was to be looking at him casually at this time
Fast, respectfully came to Fast's side, bowed his head slightly in respect, and at the same time covered his heart with his right hand
The etiquette of an old nobleman was practiced, and this etiquette was only performed when meeting a nobleman of high status
for, and Fast just smiled and accepted the other party's salute, then he should also be a nobleman
。 It's just that most of the elves have eyes above the top, and they have never accepted the gift of humans, and this Fast really has it
Something strange.
"Your Honorable Marquis of the Fifth Rank, Lord Fast, the Legion Commander has been waiting for you for a long time, please come with us
Head to Pentcity now. After Thor had finished his salute, he glanced at the soldiers behind him and asked them to lead
Come on a fast horse.
"Hey, I wanted to go over slowly alone, but it's good now." Fastello is a little no
Man said.
"Please don't embarrass me and my subordinates." Thor bowed his head, but his tone was down
is neither humble nor arrogant, but really has a bit of bearing.
The little general laughed, I just complained a little, and rushed to Peng with the little general
Special City. Fast said with a smile on his face.
"No, he's not a general, and there's no junior general in the Tari army, Lord Fast, these
Please don't say anything more in the future. Thor seemed very dissatisfied with the title of the little general, and even replied
The tone of the words was also slightly disrespectful.
Fast didn't care, and after stopping the joke that wasn't malicious, he turned to Dimen and Lin
Da said: "Although the time with the two of them is very short, the contemptible people are still happy to be with them on this journey
The exchange between the two, in short, I can't continue to accompany each other, and we are destined to meet again. ”
"Goodbye." Emperor Gate smiled at him.
"Goodbye, Mr. Fast." Linda was a little reluctant to give up on this interesting stranger.
After seeing Fast and the cavalry leave, Emperor Gate knew that something was going to happen to this Pengcheng, no
As long as this change does not affect him, then he will not get into trouble.
"Then let's get on our way." The Emperor Gate no longer looked at the slowly settled sand and dust in front of the road
It was turned to Linda and said.
"Carry me up." Linda said coquettishly to the Emperor.
Emperor Men didn't shirk it, and directly hugged Linda in his arms with a princess, and was about to get into the car
Linda said a little eagerly: "Wait, the emperor will let me go first." ”
"What's wrong?" The emperor said puzzledly, "It can't be shy, right?" When I used to hold you
That's not how you reacted. ”
"Say what? You see a little girl in front of me who has fallen, and I want to help her. Linda finished
He also looked at the emperor with his bright blue eyes as if pleading, and the emperor was silent for a while
It was Linda who put down Linda and walked with her towards the little girl in front of her. However, it has not yet waited for the emperor's gate
When she and Linda walked up to the little girl, the little girl was commanded by a fat man to protect her
Wei carried away. Seeing this, Linda wanted to stop it, but her behavior was stopped by the emperor and looked
Dimen's obviously reproachful eyes, Linda had no choice but to give up.
――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――
Towards nightfall, Emperor Gate and Linda successfully found a family to spend the night, but Linda did today
It was very different, she had been sleeping for a long time, but she had been kneeling on the grass outside the hut in a daze tonight
。
Linda, who was staring blankly at the huge blue planet in the sky, suddenly felt that her body seemed to be a little warm
, when she turned around, she realized that it was the emperor who put on a coat for her and sat down and gently took her lightly
Hold. After smiling sweetly at the Emperor, Linda tilted her head and leaned on the shoulder of the Emperor Gate behind her, "
Why not go to bed? I'm going to have to hurry tomorrow. Emperor Men asked first, and there was no responsibility in his tone
There is only care and gentleness.
"It's nothing, it's just that I can't sleep." Linda lowered her head and whispered.
"Is it because of the slaves? The little girl? Or are those old things? ”
"This ...... Yes, but I think the main thing is that I'm still a little worried about the child, and you say she won't
Will you die like this? Linda said, looking up at the Emperor Gate with a wistful expression.
"Slaves are considered the property of slave owners no matter what, and slave owners should not die without saving, after all
What I saw was not a serious illness, just that I was hungry or too tired. "Emperor's explanation though
Reasonable, but Linda still wants to see it with her own eyes, looking at Linda's eyes that are still longing,
Emperor Men had no choice but to compromise, "Hey, just take a look, and we'll come back after confirming that it's okay." ”
"Hmm." Linda nodded her head in agreement with a beaming face.
Emperor Men picked up Linda and quickly ran towards the original road, the speed was naturally not comparable to the ox cart
Like, running in the dark forest, running in the quiet night. The faint fire in front of him is the Emperor's Finger
He knew the right way, but when the Emperor Gate approached, he was surprised to find that there was no one in the camp
He was noisy, only wisps of beautiful singing came into his ears, and the singing voice continued to get closer
Plus clear, and Linda was even more fascinated by it. The soft and gentle singing voice seems to cleanse people's hearts
The heart is like bathing in the light of stardust, and after the baptism of this stardust light,
This beautiful song has become a warm fire shining in people's hearts, and the slightest warmth is imitated
The Buddha has to penetrate into people's souls.
The slaves, the guards and even the slave owners were enjoying the crisp and soft singing, and the emperor was
I was more curious about the source of this song, this matter was not difficult, and after a little search for the emperor, I found the song
of the source. It was a small, yellow-faced little girl, and the little girl was not pretty.
But it can make people feel pity and protection.
"Dimen, this song is sung by that child! The kid who fell before. "Linda is fast
She also discovered the source of the song, and she said with surprise and joy.
Hearing Linda's words, Dimen just nodded and continued to look at the little girl, his intuition telling him something
Love is about to happen, but he doesn't know what it is, all he knows is that these things will be in front of him
The little girl has a connection.
"Maybe even this trip to Pent will be completely different from what was previously envisaged."
"What?" Linda didn't hear the emperor's muttering clearly, and the emperor naturally didn't go to Linda
There are too many explanations, and Linda is not annoyed when she sees that the emperor does not answer her meaning, but she seems to be self-conscious
"She has such a nice voice, it's like a nightingale," he said to himself. ”
"Yes, she's not just a little nightingale who loves to sing, she also longs for light."
