，

At this moment, it is already moonlit and starry, Char followed this palace attendant all the way to the emperor's big tent, and the road obviously felt guarded, although the number of patrols of the Royal Forest Army has not increased significantly, but the Royal Forest Army has been fully armed, and after the transfer camp, the emperor's big tent has set up a new camp left and right, so that the two teams of the Royal Forest Army are stationed nearby.

The emperor's tent is like a house, and the supreme travels of a country, which is not so much a tent as a detachable mobile palace.

The big tent actually went in and out a few times, and the guards on both sides were obviously extremely sharp warriors, with a bad spirit, Char walked between them, and he could clearly feel the fierce spirit of each guard warrior, he had heard of some royal things, it was said that the most trusted guards around the emperor seemed to be called "Night Imperial Forest" or something...... When Cantos the Great saw Char walk in, he didn't get up, but leaned back on a soft couch. The emperor's face was still tired, obviously the drunkenness of the previous day was a great burden for the body of the old and sick spear emperor, even after a day and a night of rest, the emperor's jīng god still could not recover, when Char came in, looking at this old man, he obviously saw a little weakness from the other party's face.

Seeing Char walk in, the emperor sat up a little straighter, then raised his hand and asked the attendants in the room to withdraw, and soon, there was only one person left by the emperor's side - when Char first met the emperor, the middle-aged man with an ordinary appearance that he had seen behind the emperor was still like the emperor's shadow, standing quietly in the corner.

Char only glanced at the middle-aged man, and then stood up straight: "Your Majesty, I'm here." ”

The emperor raised his eyelids, and a smile appeared on his face: "Char, I heard that you were a little injured today?"

"Hmm. Char was nervous, but his face pretended to be calm and relaxed, and then he didn't wait for the emperor to ask, he first explained how he took people into the forest to hunt, how to chase a snow fox, and how he got lost and his companions came to the lake, and happened to meet "a young lady", and then happened to block an assassination.

When talking about the assassination, Char's tone was a little more serious, and he carefully described the appearance and skills of the assassin.

"That man's archery skills are extremely powerful! He uses a longbow and an iron spine with heavy arrows, such a shè hand must have amazing arm strength, and he seems to be very good at the art of jungle lurking - Your Majesty, I am a hunter from the mountains, and I can see that the other party is also a veteran!"

"Hmm. The emperor listened quietly, noncommittal, he seemed to be a little distracted, and did not say anything immediately.

Today's events are indeed strange.

Emperor Kantos the Great was not surprised at all by such an assassination, even if it was himself, he didn't know how many assassinations he had encountered in his life, but he ...... The target of the assassination was placed on his daughter-in-law, which is a bit complicated.

In any case, if it is a hostile force, then you should be the first target, right?

And here's the strange thing: it happened that at that moment Daphany came to the royal garden to relax! At that very moment, her horses were frightened and lost, and it happened that her servants ran out to look for their horses!

Where did so many coincidences come from?!hum!

Frankly speaking, when he first got the news, Kantos the Great even had a trace of doubts about Char: it was at this time that Char happened to encounter this assassination?

This royal garden occupies a huge area, even if he is lost and lost, where can he not go, so coincidentally he met Daphne?!

Is it intentional or unintentional to stop an assassination?

Don't blame Emperor Kantos for being suspicious, he is really in his status, he has experienced too much in his life, and he has to think more about things when he encounters them!

He had also asked Daphany carefully, but Daphany was very clear: "Baron Char doesn't know my identity. I only told him that I was the daughter of a nobleman. The Baron doesn't seem to know much about the rules of hunting, so he doesn't know who I am. ”

If Char was deliberately looking for someone to act in this scene, he would take credit for saving the crown princess with his body...... Then he shouldn't pretend not to know the identity of the crown princess......! Where does his credit come from?

Moreover, from the bottom of his heart, Emperor Kantos did not believe that this young man who was valued by him was such an unbearable guy. This guy was born in the mountains, and he shouldn't have any potential power, so he wants to invite a powerful assassin to infiltrate the royal garden and cooperate with him in such a scene...... Char, he doesn't have this kind of power yet.

So, it's a coincidence?!

The team of Imperial Forest Army that rescued the two of them in the forest today has been immediately transferred back to the city by the emperor and ordered to seal their mouths!

And the servants and attendants of the crown princess Dafanny, those who left in the forest to look for horses and left the princess alone by the lake, have all been arrested by the emperor's secret order and interrogated closely.

As a result of the interrogation, two servants had committed suicide in fear of sin, but they did not leave any valuable clues after all.

So...... Well, at least it means that this matter has nothing to do with Char. The servants beside the two crown princesses have been with Daphany for years, a few years ago...... Char is still hunting in the mountains.

The emperor was distracted, and Char stood there quietly, without speaking, quietly waiting for the emperor's movements.

Finally, the emperor was silent for a long time before he sighed softly and sneered: "It's easy to dodge with an open gun, but it's hard to guard against a cold arrow from a secret shot! Hmph, Char, you've worked hard today." I was relieved to hear that you had been shot by an assassin and that you didn't seem to be in a big deal. ”

After a pause, the emperor said lightly: "The girl you saved is a person who has a lot to do with my royal family, and she is a royal noble, but you don't have to mention this matter again, no matter what you see and hear today, it's all rotten in your stomach, understand?"

Char nodded solemnly, and then breathed a sigh of relief - well, this matter seems to have nothing to do with him.

"Hmph, I don't know how many assassinations I've encountered in my life...... Hey, I'd like to see who these clowns are hiding in the shadows!"

The emperor seemed even heroic, laughed, and stood up.

Char hesitated in his heart, looking at the old emperor, looking at the kind of jīng god that was forcibly supported on the emperor's face-Char suddenly had a faint pity in his heart.

To be honest, Char had a crush on Kantos the Great. After all, in his life, after coming out of the wildfire field, he came to this outside world, and the person who was best to himself, except for General Adric, Fat Ruhl and others, was the Spear Emperor.

No matter what the emperor's motives were, anyway, after seeing himself, he appreciated himself quite a lot, and the first time he met in the palace, although he had a bit of a disguise, the emperor still encouraged himself, and then he was knighted and promoted, and this time he would hunt and promote himself in public. The naked clothes were injured and drunk, and that kind of heroic spirit really made Char feel a little heartbroken.

Thinking of this, Char lowered his head slightly, and said sincerely: "Your Majesty, please take care, these assassins dare to sneak into the royal garden, I am afraid it will be unfavorable to you......"

The turtle was in a horizontal heart, and then untied his coat and took out an oval-shaped thing from his body, which was a dragon scale that was placed close to his body.

Char held it in both hands, took two steps, and said slowly: "Your Majesty, this is my personal self-defense, it is extremely strong, and the sword is invulnerable!

Emperor Kantos was stunned for a moment, looking at the things in Char's hand, he is the emperor's honor, what rare treasures have not been seen?

"Yi, this ......" Emperor Kantos the Great's voice was a little shocked: "This ...... Could it be ......?"

"It's dragon scales. Char said: "This is a self-defense thing that I got by chance, please accept it! ”

Emperor Kantos was really a little moved at this moment.

He naturally knew the value of dragon scales! Such a powerful piece of armor, for a warrior, was worth even a second life! Such a powerful protective equipment could save a warrior's life at a critical moment! Not to mention that Char was about to go to the frontier to take office, and there would inevitably be some war in the frontier, and it was precisely this kind of solid armor that was most needed to save his life. This kid actually took it out and dedicated it to himself without hesitation, which is enough to explain his heart...... The emperor was slightly moved, and looked at Char carefully, the young boy's face was full of sincerity - he didn't know that there were at least 100 pieces of this dragon scale, Char still had them! It's just that most of them were stored in the old family in the mountains, and there were only three or five pieces of them that he carried with him.

The emperor was overjoyed, looked at Char, and smiled: "Put it away! I, the emperor of the Imperial Empire, how can I accept your beloved things! Well, you are a general in the army, fighting on the battlefield for the empire, and you need these things." ”

Then the emperor said proudly: "I have thousands of iron armor, loyal royal guards, forgive those mice hidden in the dark and can't hurt me, I have a piece of your heart, I have it!"

Xia Ya laughed, but didn't take back the things, and said calmly: "Your Majesty, I still have some dragon scales, and it's enough for my own use, so you don't need to be polite to me." ”

As he spoke, he insisted on placing the dragon scales on the table in front of the soft couch, and then took a few steps back.

The emperor was moved in his heart, and looked at this kid, Char was telling the truth, that is what it means not to be meritorious, such a honest and faithful young man made the emperor very happy in his heart.

He glanced at the dragon scales on the table, and his heart moved...... The strong defensive power of dragon scales is indeed well known, and it is indeed beneficial to have this thing stored close to you, that is, light and secret.

After thinking about it, the emperor smiled and said, "Okay, I'll take your things! But I can't take your things for nothing." ”

Looking at Xia Ya's heroic and majestic appearance, the emperor groaned slightly, and then raised his voice and shouted, "Someone is coming!"

Immediately, there was an answer from outside.

A middle-aged samurai in soft armor strode in and stood beside Char. Walking in, this person had broken hair, was dressed in soft armor, brown eyes, dark skin, and steady steps, standing beside Char, Char immediately seemed to feel something, only to feel as if there was a beast standing next to him!

The middle-aged man's eyes were full of light, and he looked at the emperor and said steadily: "Your Majesty!"

"Juncker. The emperor was very easy-going towards the middle-aged man who walked in: "This is Baron Char Leiming next to you, and he is also the young handsome man I like." ”

The middle-aged warrior named Junker glanced at Char and nodded slightly: "Your Excellency, Baron!"

"Hey, boy, you've probably heard the name of the Night Guard, Juncker is the head of the Night King's Forest and one of the most trusted people around me. The emperor smiled slightly, and then said, "Junker, I have something for you to do! Baron Char is about to go to the frontier to take up his post, and the frontier is dangerous. After returning to the city this time, you can find a set of good equipment for Baron Char from the palace arsenal. Well, Char, I don't know what weapon you are best at using, anyway, I'll give it to Junker, long and short weapons, human armor, all prepare a set for you!" The emperor said this, and instructed Junker again: "Take the good ones!"

Hearing this, this Junker deliberately glanced at Char again, and a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes. He has been by the emperor's side for many years, and although the emperor has promoted many young generals in the army in recent years, especially vigorously enriching the strength of the eagle system, it is extremely rare to show love to a general in this way.

Emperor Kantos spoke for a while, but he was also a little tired, and then motioned for Char and the others to leave.

Char came out of the tent, and the Junker followed and stopped Char: "Lord Baron." ”

Char stopped, turned to look at Junker, I don't know why, in the face of this Junker, Char always had an unnatural feeling in his heart, as if standing in front of a fierce beast at close range, this Junker seems to be ordinary, but it always makes Char have a feeling of "this person is extremely dangerous".

"Well, General Juncker, what else?"

Junker said lightly: "I am the flag regiment, please don't say the title of general again." His voice was clear, neither humble nor arrogant: "Your Majesty has ordered, let me choose a weapon for His Excellency the Baron, and please tell me your address, and when I return, I will send someone to send it immediately." ”

Char left her address in dìdū and left quickly.

I stayed overnight in the royal garden, and the next morning, the hunt ended.

The emperor held a ceremony to encourage some of the nobles who had performed well in the hunt in public. Naturally, Char was included--the prey he had hunted in the past two days was actually not much, but the emperor had made it clear that he wanted to carry this newly emerging young baron, who would be stupid to find fault at such a time?

Several young people, including Char, were encouraged by the emperor in public, and each of them was rewarded with a pair of bows and arrows and a brocade robe -- these things may not be seen by everyone, and those who can stand here are the children of wealthy families, who will use them? However, if they can be favored by the emperor and attract the emperor's attention, then the future will be very good.

In the past two days, the emperor's attitude towards Char, all the nobles have seen it, and they have secretly confessed to their young disciples, looking for opportunities to get closer to this Baron Char.

So as soon as the award ended, these young nobles who were rewarded with Char came to talk to Char one after another, and after being quite affectionate, they made an appointment on the spot to invite a few cocktail parties, Char was not afraid, although he understood what the emperor meant, he didn't like to behave too much, but people came to show goodwill, and he didn't need to make an unpleasant appearance that rejected people thousands of miles away.

Then he pulled out the camp and returned to the city, all the way to the Royal Forest Army, and thousands of people returned to Osgilia.

After returning to the residence, Char had just rested for a while, and Soyt came in outside to announce that someone was visiting.

Visitor?

Char pondered for a moment, she really didn't have any friends in dìdū...... Could it be that Cavishir is in trouble again?

But then Soyt's face was rather strange, and he added: "My lord...... Someone said that it was from the Duke of Minas's family. ”

Xia Yateng jumped up!

Duke of Minas?!

This name is not unfamiliar to him at all!!

The Duke of Minas is the oldest and most prestigious military veteran in the empire! Although he no longer has the power to lead the army, and in recent years he has even retired from his official position and retired at home, but who does not know that he has outstanding prestige in the army? Most of the backbone generals of the Eagle Department are almost all from this old man's subordinates! Even the warlord party has no shortage of the old duke's subordinates in the past!

Among the people I knew, Adric and Ruhl, the two important generals of the Empire, could be said to be the students of the Duke of Minas......! And Green's mad dog too!!

Now, such an emperor ** veteran, send someone to see him?

Char's heart suddenly jumped!!

After he came back, he inquired a little at home, and already knew the origin of the crown princess he met!

That crown princess seems to be the youngest daughter of the Duke of Minas...... Belch...... Could it be that he molested someone else's daughter, and now Lao Tzu has come to the door to take revenge?!

With a little apprehension, Char immediately went out and came to the courtyard to greet him.

And he saw a man standing in the courtyard.

The person who came was dressed in a coarse linen robe, as if he was just an ordinary servant's dress, with short hair of light gold, long limbs, and a very burly and tall physique.

But looking at the appearance of this servant, Char couldn't help but be stunned.

This man...... Uh, how to say it. This guy looks like he's in his thirties, and his face should have belonged to that handsome type, but ...... He just has a big beard!

But anyone with a beard will always give people a wild and bold feeling, but this person, those eyes are a little slender, his original handsome appearance is a little more yīn soft, and with a nondescript beard, it is really a little weird.

Even if the other party is just a servant, but he was born under the Duke of Minas, maybe he is also a disciple of the Duke of Minas or something - you know, the apprentice of the Duke of Minas is not a waste! Just look at Adric and Ruhr Green.

Besides, although this person was just standing casually in front of him, looking lazy, but in his bones, Char felt an indescribable heroic spirit!

Therefore, Char stepped forward very solemnly and nodded, there was no contempt in his eyes, and he said: "I am Char Leiming, may I ask if Your Excellency is the Duke of Minas's disciple......"

"I'm just a subordinate of the duke's side, don't bother to ask, if the baron has any orders, just call me Roddy. The person who came grinned, but after all, there was a little more flamboyant taste in the smile, and he glanced at Char deeply, and said with a smile: "I have heard that Baron Char was born in a reckless manner, and when I look at it today, I really don't take off the martial artist." ”

After speaking, he pointed to the door, and a carriage was parked on the street outside the gate of the courtyard: "Your Excellency Duke has invited Baron Char to meet you, if it is convenient for Your Excellency Baron to come here, please come with me." ”

A person of Duke Minas's status invited, looking at the whole empire, which one would say a "no"? Not to mention that it was fine, even if there was really something important in his hand, he would put it aside first.

Char didn't hesitate: "Okay, I'll go with you!"

After saying that, he turned around and said a few words to Soyt, and then followed the servant out of the door, and came to the door, and the servant pointed to the carriage and smiled: "Baron, please get in the car." ”

Char shook his head and said solemnly: "Although I haven't seen Lord Duke, I have also heard what Lord Duke said: soldiers, don't ride!"

As he spoke, Soyt had already brought the horses, Char turned over and looked at the servant on the horse: "Please lead the way ahead, and I'll follow on horseback." ”

The servant named Roddy was slightly stunned, then looked at Char deeply, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and without saying much, he jumped into the carriage, sat in front, raised his whip and shouted for life, and led the way with the carriage.

Char's eyes lit up as soon as he saw the man's action of raising the whip!

Although this Luo Di is a servant, but when he threw out the horsewhip, his wrist flicked slightly, and the soft leather whip suddenly shook into a straight line and went out, and the technique was indescribably neat!!

This kind of wrist flexibility and skill, even if Char himself is confident, I am afraid he can't do it! If this Luo Di doesn't know martial arts, it is simply a liar!!

This Duke of Minas is under his ...... Even a little groom has such extraordinary strength!

Char's heart was solemn, and he slowly rode his horse and followed.
