CHAPTER XXVI
Tang Yin's question stunned Ji Lianyan, and she wondered: "I am the king's maid, don't I need to serve the king to rest?"
As the king of a country, there are many people who serve Tang Yin, but until now he has not had the habit of asking people to serve him when he sleeps and rests, on the contrary, when he is resting, what he hates the most is that there are people around him, especially unfamiliar people.
Hearing her rhetorical question, Tang Yin smiled, but the smile was very evil, he approached Ji Lianyan, first flicked the tulle on her body, then picked up a strand of her hair, and asked with a smile: "How do you want to serve this king?"
Ji Lianyan is not an untrained girl, of course she can hear another meaning in Tang Yin's words, her jade face turned red, and she subconsciously took a step back, widened the distance between herself and Tang Yin, lowered her head, did not answer, and did not know how to answer.
"It seems that the other maids have not told you that the king does not need to be served while he is resting, and that no one is allowed to enter the king's tent without his permission. ”
Tang Yin's tone of voice was soft, but Ji Lianyan was frightened, and hurriedly knelt on the ground and said, "The maidservant girl doesn't know, please forgive the king!"
"It's just this time, don't take it as an example, go out!" Tang Yin bypassed Ji Lianyan, walked to the bed, and sat down slowly.
It can be seen that Tang Yin is not pretending to be a gesture, he really has no intention of leaving himself, Ji Lianyan's face flashed a blank, is it really as he said, leaving himself is just to test Zhang Dong, and he has nothing to think about himself? Ji Lianyan's heart is both happy and a little disappointed, and he can't tell what it feels like.
The next day, the team continued its journey north. On the way, because of the presence of Ji Lianyan, Tang Yin was no longer so boring. Tang Yin's attitude towards her was very cold at night, but he was very enthusiastic during the day, letting her sit in his carriage and listen to her tell about the Ranger Sect.
The climate in the Windy Country is getting warmer day by day, but when you leave the Windy Country and enter the territory of Besa, the temperature begins to drop again, and it is hot to wear cotton clothes and cold to wear single clothes, and people feel very uncomfortable.
On the Bessa side, it was Blanca Portis who was in charge of greeting Tang Yin, who was also an old acquaintance of Tang Yin. When Tang Yin raised his army, Besa had 30,000 heavy cavalry to reinforce him, and the nominal commander of these cavalry was Princess Shauna of Besa, and the actual commander of the cavalry was Blanca Potis, and the Potis family was also a traditional nobleman of Besa.
Commanding 10,000 cavalry waiting on the border between the two countries, Blanca Potis first greeted him with a courtesy, and then warmly embraced him to express his joy and excitement. Tang Yin and he have fought side by side together, and they have fought against the Ning army and Zhong Tian's army together.
Tang Yin was also very happy to see that it was Blanca Potis who greeted him, because he had studied Bessa specifically, Tang Yin and Blanca Potis did not need an interpreter when talking, and they could communicate directly. Next, Tang Yin did not take the carriage anymore, but rode a horse, walking side by side with Blanca Poteis, chatting as he walked.
Having been to Besa for a long time, he urgently needed to know the current situation of Besa, after all, not all Besa people were friendly to him, and the Duke of Sánchez von Pros, the younger brother of the king of Besa, was hostile to him.
Hearing Tang Yin ask about Besa's current situation, Blanca Portis sighed faintly and said, "Although His Majesty has agreed to the marriage of His Royal Highness the Wind King and His Royal Highness the Princess, if His Royal Highness the Wind King wants to marry the Princess, I am afraid it will not be easy. ”
Tang Yin's face was silent, but he was secretly frowning, and he asked, "General Potis, how can you say this?"
"The Duke does not approve of this marriage, and besides, Duki's prince Pavel Allenrich is now in Besa City, and the Duke has been trying his best to promote the marriage of the princess and Prince Duki. ”
How can there be so many irrelevant people in the matter between himself and Shauna? Tang Yin asked, "What does the princess mean by herself?"
"This ...... I don't know. However, during Prince Dookie's stay in Besa, the princess's relationship with him has been ...... It's always been very close. Speaking of this, Blanca Portis was a little hesitant, after all, Shauna is now Tang Yin's fiancée.
Tang Yin raised his eyebrows and asked with a smile, "How intimate is it?"
If he were to come to Besa, Shauna and Pavel Allenrich would really fall in love with each other, and he might give up the marriage and fulfill them. But now that he has come to Besa in person, he is bound to get Shauna, even if he can't get her heart, only her people, he has to bring her back to the Windy Country, otherwise his trip to Besa will become a wasted waste of time, he will also become the laughing stock of others, and the face of the Windy Country will be ruined.
His straightforward question embarrassed Blanca Potis, who took off his helmet, scratched his hair, and said: "I don't know the specific situation, but it is not uncommon to see Her Royal Highness the Princess and Prince Doukie attending some banquets, and there are also rumors that Prince Doukie has spent the night at the princess's place, and there are rumors that ......"
"Alright. Tang Yin waved his hand and said, "General Botis, can you say something that is not a rumor?"
Blanca Potis blushed, shrugged his shoulders with a dry smile, and said, "Then I don't know anything." ”
Tang Yin rolled his eyes helplessly, and said: "Shauna and I are married, and King Knis agreed, even if Duke Sanchez opposes it, even if Shauna and Pavel have an extraordinary relationship, these can't change anything, right?"
Blanca Poteis's expression darkened, and he said, "It may have been, but it may not be the case now. ”
"Oh?"
"His Majesty's health is deteriorating, Duke Sánchez has gradually taken over power, and now many ministers in the royal court have been bought by Duke Sánchez, and the current situation in Besa is not as optimistic as you think. Blanca said with a pout.
Tang Yin asked, "What about the army? Who controls the Besa army?"
Blanca's face was straight, and he said, "The generals are still loyal to His Majesty the King. ”
Tang Yin nodded, as long as he still controlled the army, it meant that Knys's royal power was still firmly in his own hands. He wondered, "The last time I met King Knis, King Knis's health was still very good, how could it be that he was getting worse?"
"His Majesty's health has always been healthy, and his illness has been recent. As he spoke, he looked at Tang Yin strangely and continued: "Ever since His Majesty the King received the mention of His Royal Highness the Wind King, his body has gradually become unwell, and he has been seriously ill. ”
Tang Yin rolled his eyes again and asked, "Could it be that King Knys's poor health has something to do with my letter?"
Blanca waved his hand again and again, hurriedly cleared up the relationship, and said, "It's a coincidence, of course I think it's just a coincidence. "Blanca Potis is in his forties, much older than Tang Yin, but he exudes a strong Besa character, passionate, rude, straightforward and cheerful, like an old child.
Through the conversation with Blanca Poteis, Tang Yin somewhat learned about Besa's current situation, and he also had a hunch that his trip to welcome his relatives might not be smooth.
A few days later, Tang Yin arrived at Besa's national capital, Besa City.
This large city nestled on the grassland is still majestic, and the outline of the city can be seen miles away. Coming to Besa City again, Tang Yin was full of emotion in his heart, until now he clearly remembers that the first time he entered Besa City, he led thousands of cavalry to fight in, and at that time the Besa people also gave themselves a nickname, the black demon.
Now that I have come to the city of Besa again, I have not come to fight, but to pick up my relatives, and the world is so changeable.
Boom-boom-a thunderous roar woke up Tang Yin, who was stunned in thought, and he subconsciously reined in his war horse and raised his eyes to look forward.
Boom—boom—another loud bang came from the direction of Bessa City.
Seeing that Tang Yin stopped his horse and didn't leave, Blanca leaned over and explained, "That's a salute to greet His Royal Highness the Wind King!"
Salute? Tang Yin turned his head and glanced at Blanca, since there is a salute, then there must be gunpowder, I can't see that Besa, who has always been called a barbarian state by the Haotian Empire, can actually make gunpowder. He shook his head secretly and blurted out inadvertently, "Where did you get the salute?"
"Tia. Blanca said mysteriously: "His Majesty has bought twenty salutes from the merchants of Tia, and they are usually hidden in the palace as treasures, and they have never been used. ”
"Haha-" Tang Yin smiled back and said, "Then I should really thank King Knis." "Say so, but he is thinking in his heart, it turned out to be Tia's salute, everyone said that Tia has advanced technology, and it is true, but it's a pity that they don't know how to apply it, if the salute is converted into artillery, why bother to ask for help from the Wind Country to assist Tia to resist the Duki army?
Walking forward a short distance, I saw a sea of people in front of the gate of Besa City, so it was not lively.
On either side of the crowd were the people of Besa, the rich, well-dressed and the poor, all with their necks stretched out, all scrambling to look at themselves. In the center of the crowd was the oppressive Besa army, and a group of Besa guards with heavy helmets and heavy armor lined up neatly, blocking the people on both sides. Looking further into the middle of the guards, there are the nobles of Besa, some of them are generals in armor, some are ministers in gorgeous costumes, but whether they are generals or ministers, they all have straight waists, high heads, majestic faces, invincible, and arrogant attitudes.
Directly in front of the magnates was a beautifully crafted carriage inlaid with gold and silver, in which a half-seated and half-reclining man was none other than the king of Besa, Knis von Pros.
If it weren't for the fact that his style was too big, Tang Yin would almost not have recognized him.
