58. Young and strong
"What should I do? What should I do?" the Marquis of Tans walked anxiously outside the main hall of the royal city. Since he was released by the one who killed a thousand knives, he has been riding a horse and rushing back to the royal capital frantically, wanting to report the situation to King Los, but when he really came to the outside of the main hall, he did not dare to go in, for fear that King Los would blame him and take his life. "What to do, what to do, what to do?" the Marquis of Tans kept repeating back and forth.
"Marquis Tans, why are you walking around outside?" Marquis Tans heard a soft and gentle voice, turned his head to look, and saw a girl wearing tight black armor, tall, huge ~ breasts, and purple hair walking slowly, oh, what kind of appearance is that? Long upturned eyelashes and watery eyes, curved thin willow eyebrows, fair and smooth cheeks, cherry ruddy mouth always smiling,-- her face seemed to show tenderness to everything.
"Why don't you go in?" asked the gentle girl, confused. Marquis Tans was stunned, and when he heard the girl's words, he came to his senses, and hurriedly saluted: "Your Royal Highness the Second Princess, hello." "You're welcome. The second princess smiled back and continued to ask: "Marquis Tans, why don't you enter the main hall, but keep wandering outside." ”
"......?" the Marquis of Tans looked heavy and sweated, as if he didn't know what to say. When the second princess saw it, she smiled and comforted: "Don't be afraid, just solve something wrong." Father is still waiting for you to explain to him the results of this trip. "Hey, Marquis Tans sighed and nodded: "Your Royal Highness the Second Princess, let's go in." The second princess nodded with a smile, her smile was full of tenderness, and she was the first to walk into the hall. The Marquis of Tans trembled and slowly entered the main hall.
In the main hall, the Marquis of Tans was sweating even more, and he stood in front of King Los with trembling all his body, and the ministers on the left and right all looked at the Marquis of Tans with a lot of discussion, as if they couldn't understand why he was so scared? "Tans, how are things going?" King Los asked as he sat on his throne with his head on his hands and his eyes closed. "Your Majesty, Your Majesty has done a very successful job, and the vassal principalities have agreed to our request. The Marquis of Tans replied with his head bowed and stumbling.
King Los opened his eyes and saw that the Marquis of Tans was sweating profusely, his body was trembling, and he asked suspiciously, "What's the matter with you? Why are you sweating and trembling all over?" "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, I'm sorry for you!" The Marquis of Tans suddenly knelt on the ground and cried. "What's the matter?" asked King Los, puzzled, but the Marquis of Tans still knelt on the ground and wept bitterly, and kept kowtowing his head.
"Enough. King Los frowned and asked loudly, "What happened?" "Your Majesty, Your Majesty" Marquis Tans raised his head, his whole face full of tears and snot, and said, "The treasures that the various principalities have presented to you have been robbed. When the ministers heard this, they were all shocked.
"What?" King Los said, "Who did it?" "Yes, it was the bandits of the Ripple Mountain." The Marquis of Tans was still crying. "Enough, don't cry, cry again and I'll send you to the underworld" King Los, fed up with the Marquis of Tans's crying, stood up and said angrily. The Marquis of Tans did not dare to cry anymore, and fell to his knees trembling.
"Father, I think there is something strange about this," said a handsome young man in gorgeous armor who stood at the forefront of the minister. King Los looked at the young man with a proud face, and asked suspiciously, "Kus, what's the matter?" It turned out that this young man was the eldest prince of the kingdom of Los.
Kus looked at the Marquis of Tans coldly and said, "Father, as you know, the bandits of the Ripple Mountain are just a group of small thieves who are not in the climate. It is impossible to defeat the convoy guarded by our elite cavalry, and even if it does, how can the Marquis of Tans come back unscathed? "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, you have been wronged! the Rippling Mountain Bandit is really strong," the Marquis of Tans argued, with a sad face.
King Los frowned and asked, "How many of them are there, and how much are our army lost?" "One, one, no, yes, two" Marquis Tans held out two fingers tremblingly. All the ministers couldn't help but snicker when they heard that there were only two bandits. "Two?" King Los looked angrily at the Marquis of Tans, "Do you want to tell me that our army has fought until there are only two left?" "No, no, I mean to say that there are two bandits. And the damage of our army is...... Zero" Marquis Tans hurriedly waved his hand, not daring to look at King Los.
"Two? Are you kidding me! Two bandits were able to rob a convoy guarded by elite cavalry, and our army suffered zero casualties?" King Los looked at the Marquis of Tans in disbelief, and then said angrily, "Someone dragged him out and cut him down." "Yes" Two soldiers came in from outside the main hall, and the Marquis of Tans was about to drag him out, and the Marquis of Tans kept struggling on the way: "Your Majesty spare your life, Your Majesty spare your life!" Your Majesty ......" But King Los turned his head away from him.
When the Marquis of Tans saw that it was useless to beg for mercy, that he was about to be cut off, and that his face was as white as a dead man, and that he was about to be dragged out of the main hall, the Marquis of Tans thought of one thing and hurriedly shouted: "I have one thing to say underground, please let me finish this thing, I am willing to die." When the king heard this, he frowned and thought for a moment, then turned his head and said, "Bring him back, this king wants to hear what he wants to say?" As soon as the soldiers outside the palace heard this, they took the Marquis of Tans back to the main hall, and the Marquis of Tans was carried back by the soldiers like a dead pig and thrown to the ground.
"Tell me, what do you want to say?" King Los frowned and looked at the Marquis of Tans who looked like a dead pig. "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, there are only two people who robbed us. But one of them is a hero-level powerhouse!" "What? are you sure?" King Los was surprised, and so did the ministers.
"Yes, I'm sure, it's because he's a hero-level powerhouse that we're so easily caught," Marquis Tans hurriedly explained, bowing his head. "What's the name of that hero?" asked King Los, sitting back on his throne, with a serious expression. "I, I don't know. The Marquis of Tans glanced at King Looth's face and replied in a trembling voice. "And what do you know?" said King Loth, who seemed a little upset. "I, all I know is that the strong man is very young, he seems to be in his early twenties. "What? are you sure?" said King Loth, shocked. The surrounding ministers were also shocked.
"Yes," the Marquis of Tans was very pleased to look at the shocked Majesty and the shocked ministers around him, so that his guilt would be much less. "A hero in his twenties?" King Los sat on his throne, his eyes closed, not knowing what he was thinking.
King Los is a hero-level powerhouse himself, and he knows very well how difficult it is to break through this realm, you must know that King Los was known as the most genius existence in the Kingdom of Los back then, but it took thirty years to break through this realm. And now someone went to tell him that a young man in his early twenties was actually a strong man in the hero realm, and King Los felt that it was impossible, but looking at Tans like that didn't look like lying to him, King Los felt a little headache. The ministers also talked a lot.
The eldest prince was also thinking about the truth of this matter, and after thinking for a while, he suddenly said: "Father, if what the Marquis of Tans said is true, then we must find a way to fight this strong man into our camp, which will be of vital importance to our next actions." ”
"Well, Kus is right. King Los opened his eyes and looked at Kus in approval, then turned his head to look at the Marquis of Tans and said, "This king believes what you say, and this king now gives you a chance to atone for your sins, you immediately lead people to Ripple Mountain, and go to recruit that strong man to this king." "Yes, I'm going to bring the boy over. The Marquis of Tans relaxed and kowtowed happily.
"All right, you all go down. King Los commanded. The ministers all saluted King Los and slowly exited the main hall. "Mira, you go and stay, my father has something to tell you. King Los said to the purple-haired second princess, it turned out that the second princess's name was Mira, Mira looked at King Los suspiciously, all the ministers withdrew from the hall, and now there are only Mira and King Los in the hall, they don't know what to say in the hall, and after a while, Mira walked out of the hall with a complicated expression.
Kus waited for Mira outside the main hall, and Kus, Mira, and the other siblings were half-siblings, but Kus cared for and loved them as if they were real siblings. And the other brothers and sisters also felt the sincerity of Kus, and also loved Kus as a real brother. In the kingdom of Los there was no competition for the throne among various dynasties, and the fratricidal between brothers had to be said to be because of the sincerity of Kus and the determination of the throne.
"Mira, what did my father tell you?" asked Kuss when he saw Mira's complicated expression. When Mira saw Kus asking her, she behaved like she wanted to say something, but when she thought of something, she gave up, shook her head and smiled, "Brother, it's nothing." "Is it really nothing?" Kus frowned and looked at Mira, who nodded with a smile and resumed her previous gentle smile, Kus knew what Mira didn't want to say, what she didn't want to do, and no one could force her, so she had to frown and give up asking.
