A long-awaited meeting

On the side of the Willy Kingdom, after the sun first rose, the sky was clear, and Qin Muzhi's mood in the big tent of the Chinese army at this time was extremely heavy. The night was not easy, after freshening up and putting on the armor that symbolized glory and merit, he stood in front of the mirror and looked at his reflection in the mirror, and was speechless for a long time. Half an hour later a footstep broke the silence, and then a clear voice came through the tent.

"Lord Duke, Grand Duke Orn of the Kingdom of Nelson is already waiting for you outside the city."

Qin Muzhi listened, sighed, tidied up his beard, helped his sword, and walked out of the big tent with a high spirit, the generals outside the tent were already waiting outside the tent, Qin Muzhi did not speak, walked straight to the war horse and rode up, and then waved his hand, just like walking outside the city, and the knights and generals behind him also followed the iron-blooded duke of the kingdom silently and methodically, walking towards the outside of the city. In order to avoid an accident with the army, Qin Muzhi came to the agreed place after half an hour, and the two armies looked at each other directly, only less than 500 meters apart.

Qin Muzhi raised his hand to signal, and the army stopped moving forward and spread out in formation. Qin Muzhi raised his head and swept over the Nelson Kingdom army, and finally locked his eyes on a veranda built at zero hour in the middle of the confrontation between the two armies, a simple wooden table was placed in the simple veranda, there were only two seats next to the wooden table, and Duke Orn was sitting in one of the seats, his eyes were slightly raised, looking in the direction of Qin Muzhi, and at the same time there were two maids standing beside him.

Qin Muzhi said in a deep voice to the adjutant beside him:

"Prepare the troops for battle, and at the same time convey orders for the rest of the defensive line to be vigilant, so that the royal cavalry regiment in the city is also ready for battle and supports all fronts at any time."

After giving the order, Qin Muzhi drove his horse towards the veranda in the middle, and the deputy general originally wanted to follow but was reprimanded by Qin Muzhi, so he had to stay where he was and watch the grand duke go to the veranda alone.

After a while, Qin Muzhi came to the balcony, and without making a sound, Qin Mu got off his horse and handed the horse to the maid who came to greet him, and at the same time took off the sword and handed it to another maid. Without saying a word, he made it to another chair in the veranda, and in this way, the two legendary dukes of the two empires faced each other on such a desolate battlefield.

"Hahaha I haven't seen you for many years, Muzhi, you are still so unsmiling! Hahaha. Ao En looked at Qin Muzhi, who was speechless in front of him, and said with a smile.

"Hmph, what's the appointment today? Don't make war child's play! Qin Muzhi didn't give the other party a good face, and said coldly.

After hearing this, Duke Ann said slowly:

"I don't mean to make war a child's play, my only son, Hammer Antonio, has disappeared into your kingdom and has never been found. The loss of my old and only heir has completely lost my way, the great elemental gods have told me that my life is coming to an end, and now I just want to meet you as an old friend. ”

"I regret Hammer's disappearance, we have sent all the kingdom forces to find your son's whereabouts, but there is really no news. And I don't think it's as simple as your son going missing. ”

"Hehehe, you're right, this war was not originally for my son, and what I can tell you is that not only my son but even I am insignificant in this war, the new King Nelson, His Royal Highness Kane Nelson is now the hope of the entire Nelson Kingdom, and I have been addicted to the study of magic for decades, and I have long since stopped asking about politics. I'm just an overseer in this war, and the real commander is His Royal Highness the Great Prince Uzur, so don't fight with me against my old friend, and I don't want to meet you like this if I can, I would rather take off my armor and drink with you in the castle. ”

After saying this, the Grand Duke of Orn no longer looked like the legendary Grand Duke at this moment, but more like an old man with teeth. After hearing this, Qin Muzhi suddenly didn't know how to reply, looking at this old guy who had taken risks with him when he was young, and when he grew up, he had dealt with politics all his life, Qin Muzhi's heart was mixed. Orn didn't have to say anything about this war, but now he said it without care, which already explained the purpose of Orn's trip, just like he said that he was just visiting an old friend, maybe as he said, he really didn't have much time. Qin Muzhi didn't say anything for a long time, and after a while, Qin Muzhi slowly picked up the wine glass on the table and raised it.

"Thank you, my old friend, and I salute you for this glass of wine." Qin Muzhi raised his wine glass and looked at Orn calmly.

Seeing Qin Muzhi's actions, a smile appeared on his face, his eyes showed memories and emotion, and he also raised his wine glass and slowly touched the glass with Qin Muzhi and said:

"Thank you, my old friend."

In this way, the two old men in the twilight of the twilight sat on the veranda in the middle of the battlefield in armor, but in the battlefield of the confrontation between the two armies, they talked about the past of the two without anything about the war, laughing at the ugly things that the other party had done when they were young, and let out bursts of hearty laughter. The time passed quickly, three hours passed, and the time came to noon.

"Hahahaha, I really want to go back to the past, those times were really beautiful." Grand Duke Orn smiled, and a glimmer of tears gleamed in the corners of his eyes.

"Fifteen years ago, I was so sorry for what happened to your eldest daughter, my old friend, maybe the disappearance of my son Hammer is the punishment given to me by heaven." Orn sighed.

"I can't let go of what has happened, but we can't change it, it's okay. I... The war of fifteen years ago was not the fault of either of us. I have never blamed you for my daughter's death. Qin Muzhi replied with a sigh.

At this moment, a huge horn sounded from the Nelson army, which made the atmosphere on the battlefield tense for a moment, and Qin Muzhi's expression suddenly became tense.

"Don't worry about my old friend, His Royal Highness the Prince is asking me to go back, and it has been delayed for too long before I know it, and the time will pass in the morning. Thank you for coming and meeting me on this face, thank you Muyuki. With that, Orn waved his hand, and a maid next to him came over and gently helped Duke Orn to his feet.

"Goodbye my old friend, maybe this is really the last time we'll see each other." With that, Orn slowly walked to Nelson's army camp with the help of the maid, and a carriage slowly drove from the opposite camp to meet him.

"Maybe we'll have a chance to meet again, my old friend," Qin Muzhi said slowly as he looked in the direction Aoen left. With that, he took the sword handed by the other maid, hung it at his waist, stepped on his horse, and walked towards his camp.

After the end of this meeting between the two grand dukes, the armies of both sides withdrew from that place, and after Qin Muzhi returned to the big tent of the Chinese army, after conveying a series of orders, he wrote a letter to his son Qin Hua, and also wrote a letter to the king. Until the arrival of a hurried footstep broke it all.

"Grand Duke Qiyu, Grand Duke of Orne, died of illness!"

Qin Muzhi, who heard the news, suddenly stood up from his chair, gritted his teeth tightly, and looked at the direction of Nelson's army, tears from the corners of his eyes. After a while, he wiped away his tears and slowly said to the generals who came to stand by in the big tent:

"The war has begun!"
