Chapter 86: The Imperial Capital Envoy
Chapter 86
Along the way, the muse already knew that the strong man's name was Dark, and he was not a foreign race from the Great Moon Kingdom, but had migrated from within the Empire of Light. Now living on this grassland, he lives by hunting wolves and getting a few wolf skins for a living.
Although Dark's tent was said to be "not far", it took the three of them half a day to walk all the way. Dak lived in a small place, with two tents next to each other, and two horses behind the tents. There are not many cattle and sheep that are indispensable on the grassland.
Entering the tent and placing Roddy on the felt, Duck carefully examined Roddy's injuries. Seeing the terrifying sword wound, Duck only flashed a strange look in his eyes, but he didn't say anything, just took out the herbs and re-bandaged Roddy, his technique was extremely skillful, much stronger than that made by the muse.
The muse ran all night, already hungry and thirsty, and ate some jerky goat's milk that Duck had given her. My heart finally settled down a little. After thinking about it, he took out a few small magic crystals from his arms, handed them to Dark, and said softly: "Thank you for saving us, and just now you lost the prey you hit, these gems are still worth a little money, please accept them." ”
Duck glanced at the thing in the muse's hand, and was not embarrassed, he took it generously, and smiled faintly: "This is a magic crystal, are you a magician?"
The muse shook and looked at Duck speechless in surprise. She didn't expect that this hunter on the grassland was actually a knowledgeable person. Duck shook his hand and said, "You don't have to be nervous, I'm not interested in your affairs." Give it to me, and I'll take it. If you don't want to talk about other things, I won't ask you more. ”
The muse looked serious and said, "Mr. Dark, you must not be an ordinary person, judging by your skills, you should be a samurai, right?"
Dark's eyebrows raised and he smiled: "What? I don't ask about you, but you ask about me?" but it's nothing, I was a warrior when I was in the Empire of Light, but now I'm just a steppe hunter. After saying that, he strode to the door of the tent, turned around, and said, "Your companion is not lightly injured, and it is best for you to stay here for the next two days, and not let him move." However, he is in good physical condition and is expected to wake up soon. With that, he lifted the tent door and walked out.
The muse was helpless, but he had no choice but to walk to the felt, slowly sit down beside Roddy, and sigh silently.
Not to mention how the muse Rodi on the prairie escaped, the Watt Fortress guarded the mansion, but it had already been a mess for so many days.
Rochenthal's army had retreated twenty days earlier. The two cavalry of Lord Duke and Gislent penetrated deep into the hinterland of the Great Moon Kingdom, and the sneak attack and harassment finally worked wonders. Gislent's men and horses had come back safely long before the day, although they had a fight with the small defenders of the Great Moon Kingdom on the way and lost a few people, but after all, there was no big problem.
It's just that the Duke's people are coming back one after another, three hundred people today, five hundred people tomorrow. The cavalry who came back after Zieg's careful inquiry learned that the Duke had ordered the division of troops to retreat, and he walked along the way with a hundred of his own soldiers.
It's just that seeing that day by day, most of the cavalry of the Wolf Tooth Army came back safely, although a few people on the road suffered losses from the enemy, but 10,000 people also probably came back** thousand. But the most important duke, there is no news at all!
Tulip battle flags were still hanging at the head of the city, but the Duke did not show up for many years, and several rumors had already arisen among the soldiers in the city. Ziggy and Ruben tried their best to conceal the pressure, but the more time passed, the more unstable the morale of the army became.
Reuben ordered a few officers and soldiers to be arrested and beaten with a baton, which barely suppressed the turbulence for the time being.
After waiting for a few more days, this morning, something big happened!
On this morning, a team of dozens of cavalry from the Great Moon Kingdom slowly came from under the city, followed by a large car, and an officer of the Great Moon Kingdom called the door loudly, saying that it was the envoy of the Great Moon Kingdom who wanted to see General Ruben.
Ziggy knew that something was wrong, and immediately sent a team of his own henchmen and soldiers out of the city to take the team directly to the garrison. Got Reuben and Gordon to come and meet the messenger together.
However, what shocked the three of them was that the carriage brought by these people from the Great Moon Kingdom was actually loaded with the duke's armor scimitar! The envoys of the other side kept saying that Duke Tulip had been killed by them, and forced Ruben to surrender immediately and hand over Watt Fortress, otherwise the battle would be restarted after five days!
When Reuben heard this, he was immediately furious, and he absolutely could not believe that the Duke would die! But seeing that the other party had sent back all the armor of the Duke and his own soldiers, how could he sit still? According to Reuben's temper, he immediately sent out the whole army to find Rochenthal desperately!
Fortunately, Ziggy is an old man. He sent his own soldiers all the way to the outside of the city with a group of envoys from the Great Moon Kingdom, and strictly ordered that the envoys of the other party and his party should not be allowed to stop in the city and talk to anyone! Ziggy tried to persuade him, believing that the Duke was not dead after all, but that he was most likely ambushed on the way. If the Duke really died, I am afraid that the other party would not send it an armor weapon, but a human head directly. Although the other party is intimidating, it is actually a weak heart!
Although Ziggy said this, he was also uneasy in his heart, seeing that all the armor and equipment of the elite soldiers he personally selected were in front of him, so most of the more than 100 elites were killed in battle. It's just that the Duke is in danger at the moment, Zieger doesn't say anything, and his heart is also beating a drum.
The three of them were originally subordinates of the old Duke Tulip, and they had been old comrades-in-arms for many years, so they could naturally tell the truth in their hearts. At this moment, the armor and equipment sent by the enemy had already been put away by them, and all the soldiers who saw the envoy of the Great Moon Kingdom were all locked up in order to prevent the army from being scattered. But even so, the morale of the soldiers in the barracks was still unstable, and many commanders and commanders came to Ruben these days. All of them were stopped outside the garrison by Zige's people.
After all, Gordon had been in the palace for many years, and he had developed a cautious surname, and proposed that he take a small group of people out of the city quietly and secretly enter the grassland to look around.
Zige disagreed, he thought that after the last big trouble, the army of the Great Moon Kingdom had already been prepared, not to mention entering the grassland, I was afraid that when I passed through the Loulan Fort Trier Fort occupied by the other party, it would be discovered by the other party, and if one was not careful, I am afraid that the whole team would be eaten by the other party!
When a few people were scratching their ears and cheeks and couldn't make up their minds, suddenly the soldiers outside the door pushed the door open, strode in, and reported loudly: "My lord! Yanjing has an envoy sent by His Majesty the Emperor, and he has already arrived outside the garrison mansion!
The three of them were shocked! They immediately ran out of the hall in a panic, only to see that a group of royal guards wearing golden armor had rushed into the gate outside the garrison mansion, and Gordon hurriedly yelled at the soldier who reported the news: "How did you do things! When did the envoy enter the city? Why did the envoy come to report at the door!"
The soldier knelt down and said loudly: "My lord! The envoy has a warrant from His Majesty! The officers at the city gate dare not stop them! They are all royal guards, and the people guarding the gate of the garrison mansion do not dare to stop them!"
Gordon was about to say something, when he suddenly heard a coquettish voice coming: "Gordon Commander, why haven't you seen you for a few days, your temper has grown." I'm coming, what else do you need to report?"
When the three of them heard this, they saw a young woman with a curvy appearance walking in the doorway, followed by several Royal Guard officers in special uniforms. The woman had a pink face and a smile, her eyes rolling, and a slight smile rippled in the corners of her eyes.
Gordon's face immediately changed slightly--it was actually Her Majesty's sister, Miss Qiaoqiao! He was on an errand in the palace, so he naturally knew Qiaoqiao, and he also knew a little about the ambiguous relationship between His Majesty, the Duke, and Miss Qiaoqiao. At this moment, he suddenly saw Qiao Qiao, and he never thought that the envoy from this empire was actually her!
Jojo's eyes rolled, he glanced at Gordon, ignored the suspicious expression on his face, smiled lightly, and asked directly, "Where is Seth?"
Gordon barely managed to squeeze out a smile and greeted Jojo into the hall, and then stammered an introduction. Ruben has been away from Yanjing for many years, so naturally he doesn't know Qiaoqiao. Ziggy is just a commanding leader, although he has heard of Qiaoqiao, he has not seen it. The two of them knew that the one in front of them was Her Majesty's sister, and they immediately saluted respectfully.
Qiaoqiao's face remained unchanged, but he patiently listened to Gordon's introduction, and didn't ask anything else, and opened his mouth to say, "Where is Seth?"
Gordon's face immediately became more ugly and ugly, and he said hesitantly: "Lord Duke...... The Duke was not in the city at this time. ”
"Isn't there, so where is he?"
Reuben coughed, knowing that he couldn't do it if he didn't speak, and reluctantly smiled: "Lord Duke...... He led his troops out of the city to inspect the surrounding defenses, and went to ......"
Qiao Qiao frowned, looked the three of them up and down, suddenly raised his eyebrows, glared at the table, and shouted: "Nonsense!"
Gordon was startled. He knew how powerful this eldest lady was. In Yanjing, she is the sister of the queen, and His Majesty the Emperor is her admirer, although there are so many nobles and wealthy families in Yanjing, no one dares to provoke her!
Qiao Qiaoqiao's face sank, and she said coldly: "Do you think I'm a liar? Look at the way you speak! You must be telling a lie! Why don't you tell me the truth! Where is Seth! Hmph! I tell you, I have brought His Majesty's order this time! I have something important to say to your duke! You dare to stop me?!"
Ziggy sighed, ordered his own soldiers to come in, and brought in the leather armor and weapons of the Duke sent by the Great Moon Kingdom. Jojo's face was strange, looking at Ziggy's actions, not knowing what he meant.
Seeing that his soldiers had gone out and closed the door, Ziggy sighed, walked over to Qiaoqiao, and told the story in a low voice. As soon as he finished speaking, before the words fell, Qiao Qiao's face had changed greatly, and he shouted loudly: "What!!"
