Chapter 304: Hijacking

Thinking that the princess must be imprisoned, surrounded by heavy guards, shackled by iron windows, and impregnable, the princess was forced to write a letter in desperation, asking the kobold prince to take over the main city. Even if it wasn't as extreme as being shackled, it would have been an extremely well-guarded house arrest, but that doesn't seem to be the case today.

The quilt warrior can easily sneak in through the secret passage, and it shouldn't be difficult to come out as a princess, and this secret passage is still told by the princess to the quilt warrior. The two guards at the door looked very strong, but the princess asked them to let them in without saying a word, which was more like someone who obeyed the princess's orders, no matter how you looked at it, it felt like the princess herself wanted to stay.

And then the princess's answer can be regarded as a complete confirmation of this, maybe the actual reason is much more complicated, but the essence of the problem should be this. How to choose between the father and the commoner?

"So, won't the princess be returning to our main city?"

"Alas," sighed the princess, "I will try to convince my father as much as I can, and I have no other way." ”

"Do you think it's really possible to convince your father?" asked the quilt brave.

The princess was silent for a long time, but then replied, "Is there any other way?"

"We fled back to our own main city and continued to develop, plus Kevin's covert support," the quilt brave man was slightly excited, "as long as it develops to a considerable scale, we can be on an equal footing with the king, and then we can persuade it, wouldn't it have more right to speak?"

The princess shook her head: "If that happens, my father and I will be your mortal enemies." Even when we talk, we are calculating each other like politicians, and there is no family affection. ”

The quilt warrior was stunned for a while, and fell silent for a while.

The princess looked at the coachman next to her: "You're here too?"

The coachman finally understood at this time, and nodded hurriedly: "It turns out that you are the princess, and the last time I pulled your car, I felt that you were not simple." ”

The princess laughed, "You thought I was a madman last time, didn't you?"

The coachman could only hide it with a dry smile.

The princess turned back to the quilt brave and said, this time she simply used the dog's head language to make sure that the coachman next to her could also understand: "Actually, you did better than me, and the last time I came over, I also took his car, but you can take him under your command, and I didn't." In that sense, you're better than me. In the future, the main city will be led by you, which is not bad. ”

The quilt brave man shook his head: "The reason why he came with him is some coincidence." And I kidnapped him, which doesn't actually match the philosophy we preach. ”

The coachman snorted coldly and did not speak.

The princess shook her head: "You want to govern a main city, or even a country, you can't do it completely according to moral standards, or legal standards. Especially in extraordinary times, sometimes some extraordinary measures are needed, which may be evil, may be contrary to your propaganda, but they are necessary in special moments. If you don't, you probably won't survive. ”

The quilt brave man was stunned, and it seemed that his values had been impacted again: "Is this also justice?"

The princess replied, "There are those who prefer to die alone in order not to submit to evil, and such people are often worthy of praise, and I will not object to them." But if in order to maintain personal standards of conduct, drag the people of the entire region or even the country to death, then no matter how upright this person is, he is also a sinner for the ages!"

The coachman listened uncomfortably on the side: "This brave man forcibly abducted me at dinner, my family lost protection, if I have a lot of fathers after I go back, then I deserve it?"

The princess replied: "This kind of thing is actually everywhere in troubled times, and if the responsibility is traced to the commander, there are only a few ways to solve it." First, give compensation, depending on the specific situation, give some money or something. Second, passing on the contradictions, even if it is obviously the responsibility of the commander-in-chief, can be forcibly attributed to the troubled times, and the person who provoked this troubled world is the culprit, that is to say, the ultimate responsibility is placed on the head of the emperor, so that he can hate the emperor. ”

Coachman: "......"

Of course, if the commander himself said this, it would seem to be downcast, and the commander himself could apologize as a sign of mercy. Send another passer-by to preach to him, and eventually lead the contradiction to the empire. And the Imperial is so powerful that even if he wants to take revenge, it is impossible for him. Then persuade him to work hard, so that the country can be strong, and only when the country is strong can he take revenge on the empire, then in the end he will become an excellent worker or soldier. The princess finished all the way.

The driver was surprised: "Oh? Is this a routine?"

"There is, of course, a third," replied the princess, "and that is to kill the man and throw him everywhere." Everything is solved. ”

Coachman: "......"

"What will you do as commander?" asked the princess, "I remember that you were the chief of the coachmen, and do not tell me that you have not killed anyone. ”

The coachman calmed down: "Why are you talking to me about this?" If you want to keep him from knowing, the two of them just speak Lou Pauler's Chinese.

The princess sighed, "I have always wanted to spread the wisdom of the people, and this includes these. Commoners should also understand these routines, and if they understand them, they will not be easily tricked, at least try to avoid the ruler using the third method. It is best if the two sides can understand each other, and the common people should not make unrealistic demands, such as making the ruler pay for his life, which is impossible. ”

"Don't say that the Cotton Quilt Brave has taken you away, it may make your family suffer, even if the Cotton Quilt Brave kills your whole family, I, as his superior, will not let him pay for your life," the princess said bluntly, "What time is it? How many people do I have? Not to mention that I will pay for my life, even if I am dismissed." If one day there is peace, and I have more people at my disposal, then I may consider giving you justice. ”

"Alas. The coachman sighed.

"The wisdom of the whole people is also a great challenge for the rulers, which means that it is no longer easy to be fooled by religion, and it is not a matter of a random oracle. The ruler must have the ability, otherwise the seat may not be stable......" The princess suddenly stopped talking, and sighed and fell silent.

The quilt brave heard: "The king...... Worried about sitting unsteadily?"

The princess was silent, which was a kind of acquiescence.

"Actually......" The quilt warrior hesitated a little, but still said, "Princess, you can replace ......"

"Don't talk nonsense," the princess hurriedly interrupted, "In terms of force, the king is the number one master of kobolds, and in terms of influence, I only affect a main city, and the gap is huge, it is impossible!"

"However, our main city really needs you!" the Quilt Warrior turned the topic back, "Do you know how many civilians miss you every day?

The princess smiled bitterly for a moment: "I can only say I'm sorry. ”

The coachman on the side suddenly had a question: "The princess said that she didn't want to go, because she didn't want to be the enemy of the king?" Then if the quilt warriors develop in the future, your philosophy of governing the country is different, one must enlighten the people, and the other must keep the throne. How do you reconcile the contradictions?"

There was silence in the room.

The quilt brave agreed: "I don't think you can hide from this princess, one side is the person you cultivated, and the other side is your father, then you probably have to choose a side." If you are on our side, you will remain the enemy of your father. If you're on the king's side, then ......"

"I can travel outside. The princess replied.

"It's not like your answer. The quilt brave replied.

"I couldn't think that far ahead. The princess was clearly running away.

"Now that the main city has been taken over by the prince, there may not be a day when it will develop, but Kevin is still there, and there is still a chance after all. Princess, if you must stay, then we may meet on the battlefield later. The quilt warrior looked directly at the princess, and his tone was slightly sad.

The princess was silent. No one spoke in the room for a long time, and the atmosphere was very depressing.

The quilt warrior hesitated again and again, and finally stood up: "Princess, you just said that you can't govern a main city too much according to moral standards. I think the princess should understand what it means. ”

The princess was slightly stunned, and couldn't help but look up at him: "Yes, you actually know how to use my own words to trick me?"

"No, it's not a routine, it's just a coincidence," the quilt brave replied, "It's just that now I want to ask the princess a question, if a city lord can't make a decision no matter how much he persuades at a critical moment, as his subordinate, what should he do?"

"It should ...... Use extraordinary means. The princess's voice was soft, but based on logic, she still gave the answer.

The quilt warrior nodded: "When I came, I thought of several ways to rescue the princess, one of which is that once she is found and the princess is by her side, you can take advantage of the situation to kidnap the princess." ”

The princess sat still, and the quilt warrior slowly drew his sword, his hands seemed to tremble, and his eyes seemed to be struggling, but he still put the sword on the princess's neck.

The princess smiled instead: "Yes, you are really brave!"

In the castle, the alarm bell sounded, countless guards hurried to come, all kinds of shouts were endless, and many masters jumped over the wall, and the door of the princess's room was blocked in an instant.

"Get out of the way!" the quilt warrior took the princess with his sword at this time and walked slowly down the steps. The driver on the side was frightened, but he still kept up with the pace.

"Who are you?" "Let go of the princess!" "You can't escape!" ...... The soldiers had already begun to shout, and the archers in the distance drew their bows and aimed, but they did not dare to do it lightly for the time being.

The coachman on the side couldn't help but remind: "Big brother, you must hold your sword steady this time!"

At this time, the princess also cooperated: "Let's get out of the way." ”

The soldiers slowly retreated, and seeing that a road was about to appear, suddenly a voice shouted in the distance: "Your Majesty!"

Everyone hurriedly raised their eyes and looked into the distance, and saw dozens of war horses galloping towards them, and the soldiers automatically got out of the way, and the first one was gorgeously dressed and holding a sword, which was the kobold king.

"Father," said the princess, "I'm sorry to alarm you in the middle of the night. ”

The king snorted coldly: "Where did Diao Min come from? release the princess immediately!"

"This is my man," replied the princess, "for this time to take me back, but in a peculiar way. ”

The king looked at it for a moment: "I can see, I heard that the quilt warrior set out from there to find you, it should be this one with a sword, right?"

"Your Majesty," replied the Quilt Warrior, "I have come today with the intention of death, and the princess is important not only to me personally, but even to the kobold as a whole. I hope Your Majesty understands. ”

"Hmph," the king sneered, "this is the brave man you have cultivated, and now you are being held hostage in turn? This is the consequence of enlightening the people!"

The brave quilt took a step forward with the princess: "Your Majesty, how many years has there been a war between kobolds? I have only had a peaceful life when I was a child, and I don't know when a war broke out suddenly, and how ridiculous it is that a war broke out about whether or not a candle should be put on my head." We have become a dumping ground for the arms of the Imperials without knowing it, and we are trying in vain to defeat our opponents in exchange for peace. ”

"Look at this world! The strong are divided, the weak are struggling, you are the king but you can't leave the capital, I have a fake quilt factory director assistant certificate, but countless soldiers nod their heads. Look beyond this castle, corpses can be found along the road, the soil has long been dyed red, and the kobolds have become the lowest race," the brave quilt asked the king, "what are you doing as a king in this time of national trouble?"

The king was annoyed and angry: "You, you dare to ......"

"Alright," said the princess, who hurriedly spoke, "Father should let us go." ”

The king's anger did not subside at this time: "Hmph, I don't believe you dare to kill the princess!"

As soon as these words came out, the people on the side began to persuade: "Your Majesty, be calm." ”
