Chapter 52: The North (I)

News of Prince Eugen's rebellion spread rapidly throughout the kingdom as if it had grown wings, and Sintra, the northernmost city in the kingdom, also received the news. Sintra was the northern gateway of the Kingdom of Galicia, and it is more appropriate to say that it was a fortress than a city.www.biquge.info

It was in the fortress of the Sintra fortress that a group of people was arguing fiercely.

"We should swing south at once!" said one of the knights excitedly.

"Are you crazy? We don't have a place for righteousness!" the other knight snapped.

"What is the righteousness? I only know that Prince Eugen has been captured by them!" said the knight who waved his army south, and did not budge.

"Prince Eugen has betrayed the country! In what name should we send troops? This is treason!" The knights who opposed the troops were upright.

"That's obviously a frame-up! How could Prince Eugen betray the country! That's Aldrich's conspiracy!"

The two knights quarreled fiercely in the fortress, looking at the strangers as if they were nothing. There were only a handful of people standing in the halls of the castle where they were arguing, but they all had one thing in common: they would be absolutely loyal to the country.

"Can you two be quiet!" A stern female voice came from under a bright red armor, tired of the endless bickering of the knights, her piercing eyes staring at the main seat of the castle hall.

Hearing the scolding of the owner of the red armor, although the two knights who were arguing fiercely were unwilling, they still forcibly suppressed their anger.

"Your Excellency. ”

"Your Excellency. ”

Both knights gave a military salute to the one in the main seat of the castle hall, and they were waiting for the ruling of the lord of the castle.

The owner of the castle is the master of the city, and the old duke may be the only remaining duke of real power in the kingdom, his sideburns have turned white, and his face is a trace of time that cannot be concealed, and a scar on the left side of his face makes the old man invisibly add a sense of majesty. As a senior nobleman, the old duke was dressed in armor, and his sharp gaze swept over the bodies of his subordinates.

"Are you willing to fight?" the Duke had made his meaning clear, and all those present were his most loyal men.

"Swear to follow your lordship!"

"Swear to follow your lordship!"

Every knight in the castle hall knelt down on one knee, and the decision of the lord was their will, and even the knight who had opposed the army just now was extremely firm at this time.

"Swear to follow your lordship to the death. The weather-beaten knight clenched his fists.

Then the Duke issued his first directive.

"Find Juan. ”

"How many more days do we need to go?" Yu Chen opened the curtain of the carriage, and in front of him was a long procession, and not far in front of him was a sentry post.

"At the current rate, it will take another five days. Before Daisy could answer Juana, she answered in advance, and although her appearance was calm, both Yu Chen and Daisy knew that she must be the most anxious of them all.

'Uncle, be sure to wait for me. ’

"Get out of the car, get out of the car, say what about you, get out of the car quickly. "The guards at the sentry post are strictly checking, even the chariots and horses of the nobles.

It was not Yu Chen's and his party's car that were stopped, they were still a certain distance away from the sentry post.

"Don't you have long eyes?" said the coachman who was stopped, with a domineering look.

"Let them come down. The commander of the sentry made a gesture.

"Yes!" several guards were about to force the men out of the carriage.

"Are you mad! Don't you know that this is the carriage of the Count of Gernas?" shouted the coachman of the carriage, and he pointed to the coat of arms of the Count of Gernas, but the guards did not have the slightest scruples, and they drove away the grooms who were in the way, and just as their hands were about to lift the curtain, a brown-haired young man in aristocratic clothes came out of his own way.

As soon as the brown-haired young aristocrat came out, he caused a lot of discussion among the people around him, and the reason why he became the focus of the audience was not how handsome he was, but because of his half-worn clothes and lipstick marks all over his body.

"Do you want to check?" the brown-haired young nobleman looked at the captain of the guards.

"Check. "The commander of the sentry post did not leave a trace of affection.

When the curtain of the carriage was lifted, there were two disheveled maidens inside, and even the whiteness on the girl's chest was clearly seen by the guards who inspected it.

"Everything is normal!" the inspecting guard blushed and reported to his superior.

"Release. The expression on the sentry chief's face did not change in the slightest.

The brown-haired young nobleman returned to the carriage again, and he groped around them with one in his arms.

'It seems that the new Majesty is very bold, no, he is only His Highness now. The young nobleman was warmly served by the maidens, but his mind was not set on this at all.

With the scene of the young nobles before, the remaining noble carriages were also inspected cooperatively, which made the speed of passage much faster.

"Stop!" the guards made a stop gesture to the carriage of Yu Chen and his group.

Of course, Yu Chen and the three of them cooperated completely, and after a strict inspection, they were released, and the guards who were on guard before leaving were still carefully comparing the portraits of the wanted criminals.

"Don't you think that young man is a little bit alike?"

"It's a little bit, but it's still a lot worse. ”

"Maybe I'm overthinking. ”

One of the guards looked at Yu Chen for a long time and let him go.

Daisy only used such a simple method to easily let Yu Chen get through, and of course Aldrich would think of all they could think of, so Aldrich didn't expect this at all at first, all he had to do was an attitude, there were too many unstable factors in the kingdom, and it was time to clear them one by one.

Probably the only thing Aldrich didn't expect was that Juan was never his brother, she had always been his sister. Yu Chen and his party successfully passed one level after another, but Aldrich had already prepared a big gift for them in front, with his understanding of his 'younger brother', he would definitely go to that place, even if it was just to win a glimmer of hope.

"Drive!"

Yu Chen's carriage and his party kept galloping, and at Juana's behest, they changed three horses along the way, which means that they never stopped along the way, and it only took them half the time to reach the fortified city in the north.

"Uncle, be sure to wait for me. ”

Juana is praying for her uncle.
