Chapter 61: Red Makeup
Yu Chen refused the hardcover plate armor that Daisy offered him, and the excessive weight would affect Yu Chen's fighting style, which would make him clumsy. www.biquge.info For Yu Chen, who has not been trained in the knight system, the clothes are still lighter. Just before leaving, Yu Chen solemnly handed over the blue on the table to Daisy for safekeeping, the worn-out parchment scroll did not mean much to his next meeting, of course, this was when Yu Chen escaped.
Daisy took the blue, rubbing the worn-out parchment scroll, which held so many memories between them.
"Promise me that I will definitely come back. Daisy bit her lip, and although she had intelligence support, she was still worried about what happened.
"I promise you, I will definitely come back. Yu Chen didn't say much, his face was as resolute as ever, Yu Chen pushed the door open, and the next place he needed to go was a small hill outside the city. Juana and Daisy need to stay in the city and wait for Yu Chen's signal, if the red flame rises outside the city they will meet the duke, and if the blue flame is the blue flame they will board the ship that has already been prepared. Yu Chen's role in Daisy's plan is self-evidently dangerous, and he never questions it, all he needs is Daisy's nod.
They looked at each other, no hugs, no kisses, but Yu Chen and Daisy knew that their meaning had been reached, and that was enough. Yu Chen stepped out of the hotel, and Daisy and Juana would go straight to the docks.
The worn-out parchment made Juana a little jealous, and she thought it might have been a testimony of the bond between the two men.
When preparing in advance, Yu Chen didn't think about activating the blue, but he failed again, his blood didn't know why it seemed to have lost its effect on the blue, it was still lying there quietly, without a little color on its body.
Yu Chen arrived at the small hill outside the city an hour early, and he knew the significance of this meeting.
At twelve o'clock in the afternoon, when the sun was scorching, Yu Chen stood under the willow tree on the hillside and waited quietly for the duke's arrival. A horse-drawn carriage drove along the trail in the distance, and it stopped five hundred meters from the hillside. An old man slowly stepped down from the carriage, he saw Yu Chen, and Yu Chen also saw him.
The old duke sent the coachman away, and the carriage went farther and farther until it disappeared into the distance. Hebrew Bolihingen's steps are strong and powerful, not at all like an old man, Yu Chen knows that this is the person he is waiting for, although he is dressed like a rich businessman, but the momentum of the old duke is not so easy to erase, Yu Chen only glanced at it and knew that the old duke must have seen a lot of dead people, and at the same time killed many people.
"He's strong. Yu Chen has already made an assessment of the old duke's strength, if it is a melee battle, he will not be able to go for three rounds under the old duke's hands.
"What about Your Highness?" the old duke got straight to the point, he was more like a soldier than a politician himself.
"We don't yet know if you're friend or foe. Yu Chen's answer was neither humble nor arrogant, and he also performed a noble courtesy to the old duke.
The old duke looked at Yu Chen, although the young man was thin in his eyes, but those hands, the old duke would never be mistaken, this young man's strength would not be too low, at least it was the level of a low-ranking knight, the only thing that surprised the old duke was the right hand that lacked a little thumb.
"Which family are you a child, I don't seem to have heard of such a talent from anyone's family. The old duke didn't answer Yu Chen's question, he was very interested in Yu Chen's self now, and the half-grown boy in front of him, who was still a little immature, was really a good seedling.
"I'm not an aristocrat. Yu Chen answered the duke's question, and at the same time he also watched the surroundings vigilantly to prevent real accidents.
The old duke saw Yu Chen's actions, and his eyes were full of appreciation.
"Oh. The old duke didn't get to the bottom of Yu Chen's life experience, he was just interested.
"I'm alone. The old duke spread his hands, and now he really looked like a kind old man.
"I owe allegiance to Your Majesty, and I owe only to Your Majesty. "The old duke has made his attitude clear, he has always been His Majesty's person, he was, he is, and he will always be.
"His Royal Highness Juan is His Majesty's designated heir. Hebrew Bolihingen used powerful words to completely dispel Yu Chen's doubts.
Red flames burst in the sky, and Daisy's hanging heart relaxed, knowing that her plan had succeeded, that Yu Chen was safe, and that the Duke was on their side.
Juana looked into the distance, which was the direction of the royal capital. "I swear I'll take back what is rightfully mine. ”
That bloody night Juana will never forget, she always remembers the death of her father, who clung to the corner of Juana's clothes at the last moment of his life.
'Take good care of my kingdom. These were her father's last words to Juana.
"I will protect the kingdom. "This is Juana's vow.
Red flames flashed in the bright sky, and Daisy and Juana hurried to their agreed place, where they were waiting for the Duke in one of the most modest hotels in the city.
Yu Chen led the Duke to the city, and he was so easy to believe that the Duke was not a powerful oath of Hebrew Burlisingen, Yu Chen had always believed only Daisy. Daisy, who is well versed in politics, told Yu Chen that if the old duke came alone, it must be from their side. And if the old duke did not come alone, then they would have only escaped to the sea. A man's words can be false, but his actions cannot. The old duke had already made his attitude clear when he came alone, and if he really had other thoughts, there would be no need for such effort.
In fact, the basis of all this is based on Daisy's belief in the old duke, but the kingdom is complicated, the old duke can believe it, but the people around him can't fully believe it, so Daisy just wants to meet with the old duke alone, so that they can plan the next step, otherwise they will be escorted back to the royal capital before they see the duke.
Yu Chen took the old duke to the agreed place with Daisy, and the old duke opened the door curtain, and they walked into the private room.
"Your Highness!" the old duke was very excited to see Juana, now that he finally had a legal heir to support, Aldrich's act of killing his father and usurping power was absolutely intolerable.
The old duke wanted to kneel down on one knee but was stopped by Juana, who signaled with her eyes that there were many people near the old duke, and Hebrew Burlikhin simply knelt down half of his body and gave up.
"Is that your idea?" said the old duke, looking at Daisy beside Juana.
"It was my idea. Daisy readily admits that she is actually afraid that the old duke will have a grudge in her heart, because this plan expresses distrust of the old duke in some ways, or at least doubts about the old duke's ability to control.
"What a clever girl. The old duke's appreciation is very obvious, he actually noticed that there is always an unknown force in the city under his control, if His Royal Highness really shows up in public, the situation is really not good, in fact, this city-wide search is also a purge operation, the old duke wants to make the city clean, especially the central and southern forces to focus on uprooting.
"I think we're ......," said the old duke, who made a stop gesture as soon as he spoke.
"Have you already decided to be loyal to me?" Juana said in a very serious tone, and she still used honorifics with great respect for the old duke.
"Your Highness, the old minister will swear allegiance to the death. "The old duke is about to swear by his family.
"Now, I hope you don't regret it. Juana combed her hair, her face was expressionless, but her palms were already sweating, Juana was very worried in her heart, a female heir would not be a good choice at any time, especially for such a powerful vassal. It may not be Juana's last chance to return to the throne, but it is definitely her best chance. Whether it was for the sake of his father, or for his uncle, or for himself, Juana would do everything to sanction his brother, the brother who killed his father with his own hands.
(PS: At this time, Juana did not think about the people at all, or she did not think more about the people.) First, because of the seeds of hatred, the contradictions between Juana and Aldrich are irreconcilable. Second, Juana is too young, fifteen years old she doesn't have enough experience, she doesn't have enough big picture. Thirdly, Juana, who lived in the royal city, did not understand the hardships of the people's lives, and she only had a general impression of the people, but she did not know that the people could also be used as weapons to defend her throne. FOURTH, AND MOST IMPORTANTLY, THE AUTHOR IS NOT THE VIRGIN BIAO. The war between the royal families is more like a rivalry for hegemony......, isn't it? )
"Old minister, swear allegiance to Her Royal Highness the princess. "The Duke of Hebrew Berlichingen swore in the name of his family that he would never betray Her Highness, and the Old Duke answered Her Princess's questions in the strongest voice.
Hebrew Burlihingen knelt on one knee and kissed Her Royal Highness's right hand, a ceremony of allegiance to the king. And then it was Juana's turn to respond, and without a sword, Her Royal Highness had to take a short sword from Yu Chen, and she gently pointed the short sword on the old duke's shoulder.
"Juana Emmanue accepts the allegiance of the Hebrew Duke of Berlichingen. She will not leave her, as long as the Duke of Hebrew Berlichingen does not commit acts of betrayal of the kingdom and injustice. Short words, every word Juana said so hard, this was the first nobleman to pay allegiance to her, and hopefully this would not be the last.
At the same time as the old duke's allegiance, Yu Chen and Daisy had already started a joint enchantment, and what was happening inside could not be seen or heard from the outside.
"Juana. A nice name, perfect for you. The old duke looked at Her Royal Highness the princess and smiled, in her he vaguely saw the shadow of the king when he was young, confident, resolute, and courageous.
"Your Highness, Prince Eugen is less than a month away from his execution, and I think we should do something. This was the first thing the old duke mentioned after his allegiance.
"What? You said my uncle was going to be executed in less than a month? What the hell is going on?" Juana knew about her uncle's execution, but when the news was confirmed, her heart would still be a little unbearable, and she wished that there would be more time so that she could be more prepared.
Just as Juana's heart was tight, the road leading to the port town was dusty, and the cavalry galloped down the road as fast as they could, their leader, the brightest red armor, hoping that he could go faster.
――――――――
"My lord, we are only half a day away from them. A sweet female voice came from the horse.
"We need to be a little bit faster. ”
Yalvis recruited a team of hundreds of mercenaries, and he was forced to abandon the carriage because he really needed to go faster.
