Although the climate of Astrana, which is further south than Ace, is much hotter, it doesn't seem to be bad compared to the night chill of the desert city of Oneika City. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

At night, a few people who were just sitting and chatting around the campfire turned out to be warming themselves by the fire.

Later, it was too cold to do anything, so they all went back to the tent.

They didn't sleep well that night.

The next morning, Sun Chenghuan got up very early.

Because it's cold.

But when he got up, he found that there were already many soldiers outside to start morning exercises.

Life in the army is far harder than you imagined!

After silently saying such a sentence in his heart, Sun Chenghuan also began to move around the camp where he slept.

"Why did you get up so early?"

"Oh, morning! ”

"You didn't sleep well last night, did you?"

"Okay...... You didn't sleep well?"

"I'm cold, Joey got into my bed in the middle of the night, and the two of us slept better together......" Raven looked depressed, "Do you have to go on the road today?"

"Well, but don't worry too much, most of the 20,000 men are infantry, and the marching speed is not much faster. Sun Chenghuan smiled and comforted, "Even if we don't arrange a horse to ride, we won't be very tired today, don't worry." ”

"I know, you're not the only one noticing that they're infantry. Ruiwen glanced at Sun Chenghuan, "After going back last night, Joey and I talked a lot about things, and we felt that it was not a good idea for us to go to Minahil this time...... Why don't we find an excuse and run away?"

"Run?" Sun Chenghuan laughed when he heard this, "Where are you going?"

"The Presbyterians must not know what we are facing, or they would not have sent us here like this. Raven looked very serious, "Let's go back and explain to them the current situation in Astrana, it's not ......"

"You!" Sun Chenghuan really laughed.

Looking around, no one noticed the two of them standing here doing exercises and chatting.

"Who do you think are the people in the House of Elders? Except for the three hereditary elders, the rest ......?"

"This ......" Ruiwen instantly understood what Sun Chenghuan meant.

Yes, the other elders, either by virtue of their outstanding achievements in governing a party's territory, or by achieving brilliant results in foreign wars, or by fighting for Merce's interests on occasions such as this one.

What kind of people are they?

Isn't it much better than my own group of children!

But......

"I believe them anyway. Sun Chenghuan smiled and comforted Ruiwen, "Those people must know something we don't know." Didn't we think they were a bit of an outsider this time last night?"

"But after all, there are only four of us......"

"Five. Jessica is still on our side. Sun Chenghuan smiled and shook his head, "Oh no, it should be six." ”

"Six, oh, you mean Erin......" Raven laughed, "does that little girl regret coming to Astrana with you after freezing last night?"

"I don't know, I haven't seen her since I entered the barracks yesterday. Sun Chenghuan smiled.

"She's following you, it's been almost a day, aren't you worried?" Rui Wen looked at Sun Chenghuan with a strange look.

"She's so much more powerful than you think. Sun Chenghuan smiled and sighed, "It's us who really have to worry about now." ”

"What's wrong? Who are you worried about...... Sovan?"

"Hmm. ”

"What's wrong?"

"He didn't say a word to me last night. ”

"Oh? Why?"

"I don't know. I think he ...... Maybe I'm trying to negotiate with Jessica or something......"

"Actually, I also think we don't want to ......"

"Don't. Sun Chenghuan's head shook very resolutely. "Even if there is a negotiation, it is not in this situation. ”

"Huh? Why?"

"Have you ever heard two ancient sayings from Penglai, sending charcoal in the snow, icing on the cake. Sun Chenghuan said very seriously.

"You mean...... We're just going to her now to add to Jarro's icing on the cake?"

"Yes. Sun Chenghuan took a deep breath, "You don't know Jarro as I do, and I've known her for a long time." She...... is a person who can be a queen. ”

"What do you mean?"

"Do you think she believes in us, or does she believe in Cashew?" Sun Chenghuan asked rhetorically.

Raven was stunned.

"In other words, does she believe Jessica or does she believe Casthew?

"This ......"

"She's just doing what every king does. Sun Chenghuan smiled and shook his head, "This is a technique." We need to hold our breath. At least, it can't be more unstable than her. Believe me, Jessica will chat with us alone as soon as today, tomorrow at the latest, and when the time comes, pay attention, we are here to ask for fame and titles, and don't think too much about other things, especially, if you oath of obedience or something, you have to treat it as if you didn't hear it. ”

"Oh......" Raven nodded a little incomprehensibly. "But even if you don't say it, I won't swear it. Only a fool would do that, right?"

"Actually, I think you should have a good chat with the seniors of the Pro-Guard or something, they are the ones who really deserve our respect and learning. Sun Chenghuan silently continued for Bana for a second in his heart, and then changed the topic, "Whether it's Jarro or Jessica, don't worry about them for the time being." ”

"By the way, Jessica came last night before we went back to the camp and went to bed, and asked me for command of those men! Raven said with a smile.

"You give it to her. Sun Chenghuan said with a smile.

"Why, Joey and I wasted so much strength, and we were injured once......"

Although these people are not rough people, they are all soldiers, and they have been on the battlefield for so many years, and they know best who is reliable and who is unreliable. Sun Chenghuan looked at Ruiwen's unhappy face, smiled and shook his head, "What did you rely on to get their approval? What can Jessica rely on? Don't worry, as long as you fight in Astrana, what should belong to us will come back." ”

"Hmm......" Raven nodded, "To be honest, I think your ideas are very unreliable. ”

“...... And what are you nodding to?"

"Because I'll do what you say!"

"Don't you think it's unreliable and still do it, you're sick!"

"I don't think your idea is reliable, but I believe you!" Raven looked right.

Be quiet.

"I suddenly felt a heavy weight on my shoulders. Sun Chenghuan smiled a little wryly.

"Seriously, if I'm really in danger, my back, I can give it to Joey, I can give it to you...... Well, there's Jean in Mills, far away. There is no one else but you. Raven said with a serious face: "And in our group, your ideas have always been the most reliable. So, when I have no idea at all, I can only trust you. We're going to be fine, right?"

"I don't know. Sun Chenghuan shook his head very seriously, "To be honest, what I said was my guess, because I don't know more information than you do." ”

"Then you're ......"

"All I can say is that if there is a real danger that we are going to face life and death...... I will die before you. Sun Chenghuan said with a smile.

Be quiet.

Raven, who was doing stretching exercises, was stunned when she was pulling her ligaments.

"What?" Sun Chenghuan smiled as he watched Ruiwen stay there.

"It's nothing, I suddenly feel safe!" Raven smiled.

"That's right, okay, if anything really happens when we look back, that guard is the foundation of our lives," Sun Chenghuan said with a smile: "I'll leave it to you!"

"Why don't you go by yourself? Do you have to call me?" Rui Wen glanced at Sun Chenghuan.

"That night, it was you who fought with them, not me. Although I ...... Kill Eldraine, but they didn't see it with their own eyes, they wouldn't have much of a sense of identity with me if they didn't share the joys and sorrows. So, it's only right for them to be a little closer to you and Joey and be a little more afraid of me. ”

"Afraid of you?" Raven was visibly surprised.

"yes, I killed Eldraine!" Sun Chenghuan smiled and spread his hands.

"Yes, too...... When I was talking to them the other day, when I said that Eldraine died at your hands, some of the people who followed us in ambush outside the city also said that I knew that you were so powerful that you couldn't even move at that time, and that you should have a good relationship with you......" Raven laughed. "And say, you were in such poor physical condition at the time, you could have killed Eldraine, if you were healthy, wouldn't there be no match for you in the whole of Merce......"

"Well, something like this. Anyway, if they ask about this kind of thing when you talk to them in the future, you just say you don't know...... It seems that I'm mysterious, and it's good for us. Sun Chenghuan nodded.

"I understand, we are now alone in military theory, if we can't stabilize the morale ......of the army and feel that we have something to rely on, it will change over time," Raven nodded.

"Well, it's much easier to tell you these things than to tell Sovan. Sun Chenghuan smiled and nodded. “...... Well, it's almost time to go, so I'll go back and pack my things. ”

“...... It's still early, isn't it? I haven't eaten breakfast yet!"

"That's not easy to say, our march here...... It's hard to tell. Sun Chenghuan sighed and pointed to the sky, "Resign yourself to fate!"

“...... Alright!" Raven smiled and shook her head.

......

"You're looking for me?"

"Hmmm......"

"What's the matter?"

"I couldn't sleep last night, so I just walked around the barracks...... Of course, as it is now. ”

After separating from Ruiwen, Sun Chenghuan returned to the camp.

Suowan is not here, and he doesn't know where he went, so it's just right, because Sun Chenghuan wants to talk to himself......

Talk to the voice in your ear.

"What, do you see anything?"

"Well, it feels like the army is preparing for war. ”

"This ...... It's normal, if it weren't for the preparation for the war, it would be a square array now and not Glaive Town. Sun Chenghuan shook his head, "What else?"

"I went to the camp in Jarro last night. ”

"What did you overhear?"

“...... Can you not say stealing! I'm here for our safety!"

"Seriously, you'll have to go back in a while, right? If Selena finds out you're gone, it's going to be a big mess!"

"That's right. Well, anyway, Jarro was in the tent yesterday discussing with Jessica how to get out of the army. ”

"Leave?" Sun Chenghuan was stunned.

"Well, although Jessica persuaded her, I felt as if Jarro had a lot to say to Jessica, and after Jessica left, she was alone there talking to herself to the lamp for a long time, and then crying and praying......"

"This ...... Is there any reason? Did you hear her talk to herself?"

"No, it's something that will die anyway, don't just ...... Something like that. ”

"That's ......," Sun Chenghuan nodded.

"And ......"

Erin's words weren't finished.

Suddenly there was a voice outside the tent.

"Is Mr. Sun Chenghuan here?"

"Here!" Sun Chenghuan hurriedly responded.

Then, he lowered his voice: "You go back first, and talk slowly on the road today......"

"How can you say it slowly!"

"Let's just say you haven't seen me for a day, miss me!"

"Oh! I don't want to say such a numb thing! Okay, you can get out quickly!"

"Oh......"

From the tent, Sun Chenghuan walked out.

is a person Sun Chenghuan should have seen, but he seems to have never seen it.

Probably one of the people they brought from Merce.

"Princess Jarro...... Well, Your Excellency Nioh, please. ”

"Okay, thanks. Sun Chenghuan showed a polite smile and nodded.

Following this man, Sun Chenghuan walked towards Yarluo's tent.

"Are you still used to staying last night?"

"Hey, I've been a soldier for so many years, and I'm used to sleeping in the open, and when I fought with Langu in the north, I don't know how much more difficult the conditions were than this. The visitor looked indifferent and said with a smile: "This side is already good." ”

Sun Chenghuan nodded, and the burden in his heart was lowered a little.

Yes, these people who are used to seeing the world have such an optimistic and open-minded attitude towards the situation they are in now, and a few of them are suspicious here, so they are indeed thinking too much......

In this way, the two of them walked one after the other to a place far larger than the camp where Sun Chenghuan and they slept.

"You're here?"

"Hmm...... Your Excellency Nioh, you ......"

"Oh, it's okay, just wait a minute. ”

Sounds a lot like a conversation between friends.

It's just strange to consider that one person is washing his face and the other is not even daring to raise his head.

Soon.

"I'm sorry to call you so early...... How was your sleep last night?"

Jarro wiped his hands with a towel and talked to Sun Chenghuan with a smile.

The scar on her face is gone.

"Very good, thank you for your concern. ”

“...... Do you need to be so polite to talk to me?"

"You are Your Excellency ...... Lord"

"Forget it, I won't ask any questions, you can go back. The smile on Jarro's face disappeared, and he sighed softly.

"What's the problem?"

"Will you be my servant?"

“...... Didn't you ask it before?"

"I thought it would be different this time. Jarro shook his head, "Forget it, go back and rest, it's time to leave." ”

"Well, okay, Your Excellency Nioh......"

"If you want to call me knighthood, our family will change its name after becoming the heir to the king. Jarro shook his head a little helplessly, "We don't always be called Nioh, that's weird. Although these are things that will only be done after arriving in Minethil, they ...... If you have to call me that, you might as well start sooner. ”

"Okay...... You ......"

"I have a Penglai name. Jarro smiled, "It's called Flower Shadow." In the future, people will call me the Flower Shadow King. ”

"Well, okay, Your Excellency the Flower Shadow King. ”

"Actually, I think it's better for you to call me Jarro. ”

“...... Why?"

"Because if you call me the Flower Shadow King, then I'm going to call myself lonely......" Jarro sighed, "How old am I, I'm going to be alone......"

"Who made you king?" Sun Chenghuan smiled, bowed, and withdrew from the tent.

......
