Chapter 32: Contrasts and cuteness

At the moment when Wu was about to be dominated by nervousness, a moment of reason and logic buckled Wu's head again-

Clearly, Wu has identified the blind spots of this major crisis.

- Why did the other party rashly attack the strongest kingdom of Eink on the Staphen Plains?

Indeed, at this time of year, the important people of all countries will gather in the kingdom of Aynk, and if a major raid is launched at this time, it will indeed achieve good results.

But on the other hand, there are huge risks and ambiguous meanings behind the action.

First of all, the military strength of the Kingdom of Aynk ranks first on the plains, and the wanton crusade against Aynk is like hitting a stone with an egg.

Not to mention the armies of other countries at the time of the anniversary, each of which is fierce and fierce and will be unstoppable if it joins forces with Eink.

Furthermore, what kind of benefits can a sneak attack on the Kingdom of Aynk bring to the other party? Fight for the title of the strongest nation? Or assassinate your father?

But since you want to assassinate your father, you don't need to carry thousands of monsters and hundreds of demon masters? How do you kill such a big voice?

In this way, the number of enemies is indeed staggering, but it does not seem reasonable to rashly attack Einke and other soldiers with such a small number.

It's weird, it's weird! The other party's intentions have no idea at all, and he doesn't even have a clue about himself.

Countless doubts filled Wu's brain, and in the end, Wu, who didn't like to think, gave up the endless doubts, and planned to ask Jill about his plan first.

"And how does the brother plan to defend against the enemy?"

Wu's question made Jill show a rare smile, and he immediately approached Wu's side and deliberately lowered his voice to elaborate.

"It's very simple, the men I sent have already tracked down the enemy's location and plan, you just need to follow my plan and command the troops I give you, so that you don't have to fight down, and you can successfully repel the enemy."

"But Brother Wang, since you have tracked down the enemy's location, why don't you report it to your father and the emperor, and tell me that you don't know anything?"

"You don't understand this!"

Jill's expression became mysterious, her white teeth bared from the raised corners of her mouth, and her eyes narrowed into a line.

"No matter how stupid you are, you know that your actions just now have greatly damaged your father's reputation, right?"

"Reputation?"

Once my father became aware of this, he would temporarily cancel the anniversary, and at the same time deliberately conceal it in order to prevent the uneasiness of various countries. Think about it with your sluggish head, what will the monarchs of all countries think of their fathers and emperors if such a grand banquet is canceled for no reason? ”

"Well...... Very bad behavior indeed. ”

"Right? And what about me, wouldn't it be nice to tell you this important piece of information, and let you complete this mission, by the way, as an atonement for your rudeness just now, and in addition to making your reputation famous? ”

"Reparation...... Is it? ”

"That's right."

Wu was a little hesitant and a little dazed.

To be honest, I don't care about my reputation at all, and it doesn't matter what others think of me.

But if he can make amends to his father, of course he will go to the soup.

Thinking back to the father I saw with my own eyes tonight, the once handsome and dashing face inevitably left traces of time, and perhaps a few wrinkles were caused by myself.

Compared to this, my own efforts are really nothing.

Although I don't like any political affairs, my father still respects his obsession and does not interfere with and force my will.

His father, who loves him so much, has lost face in various countries tonight because of his ugliness - this is not for the Kingdom of Aiinke, nor for himself, but simply to thank and make amends to his father.

And although the elder brother seems to hate himself, he actually cares very much about his relationship with his father, which can be described as well-intentioned.

I don't think my brother's information can go wrong, and although it's a little strange, I still believe in my brother's kindness.

In that case, let's do it!

"Report to my brother, since the situation has developed to such a critical stage, as the second prince, I will follow the instructions of Brother Wang. For the sake of my father, I will do my best to repel the enemy. ”

Wu swore an oath to Jill firmly, and his tone became very serious.

Jill couldn't help but be overjoyed when she heard this, and her tone was much lighter.

"Very good, very good! Then I'll tell you about the detailed plan. ”

"Listen to me."

"The day before the celebration begins, the enemy will first be stationed in the 'Wine Tiger Mountain' in the west, although it has not yet entered the territory of Einke, but the demonic beast moves very fast, and the opponent's formation is mainly cavalry-based charging formation, so it is estimated that it will arrive at the destination in less than five hours."

"Jiuhu Mountain? I remember what it looks like ...... there? ”

"That's right, it's where gluttony is sealed."

Wu was taken aback, and suddenly realized after Jill's explanation.

Even Wu, who doesn't like historical events, has a bad impression of this ominous place.

Known as the Cursed Forbidden Land, "Jiuhu Mountain" is a small hill that is not tall, and there is a desolate wilderness with no grass growing in a radius of 100 feet outside the mountain, and there seems to be a thick fog and the bones of a few monsters scattered all over the place.

It is said that these horrific sights came about after the gluttony was sealed, and the reason for this is that there are different opinions.

Some people say that it is to absorb the elements of the surrounding nature in order to seal the gluttony, so as to suppress the gluttonous soul.

Some people also say that it is because there are some loopholes in the technique of sealing gluttony, so that the evil power of gluttony flows to the nearby land, cursing everything nearby.

Regardless of whether it is true or not, there is only one thing that can be ascertained - it is not a "forbidden place" that ordinary people can enter.

And the enemy happened to camp in such a dangerous forbidden place, what did he want to do?

There is only one thing that can be associated-

Wu, who was gradually pessimistic, swallowed his saliva in fear and looked at Jill with a solemn face uneasily.

"Why in such a dangerous place? Is the enemy trying to break the seal? ”

Yes, in this way, if the enemy controls the gluttonous forces, there is indeed a way to repel the forces of Eink and the other countries.

No, let alone control, it's only a matter of time before the Staphen Plains are destroyed.

Fortunately, Jill quickly dismissed Wu's speculation.

"Are you stupid? Gluttony is a divine beast that almost destroyed the world, I don't think the other party is as stupid as you are to put such a dangerous logistics out. ”

"Uh-is that going to be a simple station?"

"Even though I thought so, I always felt that it might not be that simple. For this reason, I am planning to investigate the origin of this matter. And the person in charge of the investigation is you, who doesn't know any magic. ”

"Me? Survey? ”

"Not bad! I want you to lead a hundred soldiers to the 'Jiuhu Mountain' to investigate—then I will release the eagle in your direction, and that is the order to dispatch. When the eagle strikes through the sky, all you have to do is lead your soldiers deep into the cave to investigate, and your mission is complete. ”

"That'...... So what should I do if something unexpected happens? ”

"Don't worry, I'm planning this. At the same time as the eagle is released, I will lead the army to the Jiuhu Mountain to support, and as a vanguard, if you really encounter the enemy, you only need to hold out until the backup arrives. ”

"Yes...... Is it. ”

It can be seen that Wu is still a little scared.

But if you think about it carefully, the strength of the elder brother Jill is obvious to all, and he only needs to be cautious about probing, as long as he investigates quietly, maybe it won't cause a fight.

That's right, just wait until my brother arrives, right?

Wu nodded slightly, and his eyes were filled with fear.

Yes, he put all his atonement for his father's sins on this mission, and Wu did not ask for any reward, nor did he care about any reputation.

I hope my father will forgive me for my mistakes tonight.

"Wu knows, please rest assured, Brother Wang, I will conscientiously complete this task."

Jill smiled with satisfaction, put his right hand on Wu's shoulder, and said boldly:

"That's the attitude of being a prince of Aynk! I'm slowly starting to change my opinion of you, Wu. ”

"Thank you, Brother Wang, for your compliment!"

"That's right! To boost morale, I asked the palace chef to cook a delicious meal, and let's dine together! ”

Seeing Jill's kind invitation, although Wu wanted to agree, he thought of the agreement with his father tonight, so he swallowed the promise back into his stomach.

"I'm very sorry, I still have a lot of homework to do tonight, and when the task is completed, I will enjoy delicious food and wine with Brother Wang."

"Good! Go ahead, I'm looking forward to your performance that day. ”

Wu bowed politely goodbye, then turned around and walked up the long staircase, turning back from time to time to wave goodbye to Jill, who also waved in response with a smile.

As the figure disappeared, an unknown female voice suddenly appeared next to Jill, reporting to Jill.

"Report to the young master, the little one has completed the communication with the prison director according to your instructions."

Again, the same female voice as when she was in the plains, and there was still no female figure in the hall.

"It's hard work, then step aside, instant."

"Yes!"

At the command of Jill, the voice was wiped out, and the seemingly unchanged scene, the shadow under Jill's feet seemed to be pulled out, and after a few seconds of shaking, it returned to normal.

Looking at the empty staircase, Jill's expression seemed to be a little strange-

It's like holding back the excitement in your heart, or maybe you're nervous about what's going to happen.

The corners of his mouth twitched as if he had been shocked, and with cold sweat and trembling feet, Jill's mental state was almost deranged.

July 11, 1927, 8:11 p.m., Wu's Room

The mind has been decided, and the task has been taken - even so, the direction and speed of things are so distorted that Wu feels very nervous.

As soon as he walked back to his room, Wu Bei felt uneasy and climbed into the big bed and got into the cold quilt, building a small hole with a heavy quilt, covering his body covered in cold sweat.

Now I am both excited and scared.

The excitement comes from the fantasy that he can atone for his sins because of this, and can sacrifice his meager strength for his father, but this kind of thing has never been imagined.

So why are you afraid? In fact, Wu himself is not clear.

Maybe it's the fear of death, maybe it's about to touch the forbidden place, maybe it's the simple self that will see a bloody scene, maybe it's because of the importance of the mission-

In any case, the next task will definitely change his life completely.

That's right, I have a vague premonition in my heart.

Poking your head out of the bed and looking at the large ceiling you saw since you were a child - will this be the last time you see this ceiling?

Delicate white hands caress the soft mattress - will this be the last time you will lie on this bed?

Obviously he has not yet thrown himself into the battlefield, but now he is sitting on pins and needles, is this how those brave soldiers feel?

For a moment, I suddenly felt as if I had grown up—

That's weird!

"Hmph."

A disapproving muffled laugh came from Wu's snort.

Breaking away from the somewhat warm bed, Wu stood up and took off his robe, and then threw it on the bed.

"It's not too early, so let's go to bed as soon as possible."

The naked upper body walked to the tall wardrobe and also passed by the long mirror.

I couldn't help but glance at myself in the mirror - the scars of my sleep were still clearly left on my face, and my hair was messy like a weed.

And the skinny body has no muscles, and the white skin is tender like a girl.

How is this weak body going to fight the other side?

"Alas—————。"

Wu couldn't help but sigh.

Not only did I not finish my homework this morning, but my agreement with Grossar was also broken because of my laziness, and when I think about it, I am really a hopeless child.

Of course, tomorrow I will inevitably be scolded by Jie Minglang and Grossal, but now I don't seem to be in the mood to be afraid.

After all, there will be more important tasks to be carried out in two days.

Thinking of this, he suddenly felt that the energetic Wu slapped his decadent cheeks vigorously to cheer up.

A loud "pop" echoed through the large room, and was even more pronounced in the quiet of the night.

This was followed by a loud self-shout -

"For the sake of my father! This mission must be a success! ”

"Task? What task? ”

After a burst of immature shouting, there was a familiar middle-aged male voice, familiar as if he had just heard it-

Wrong! That's exactly what I just heard! And this middle-aged man's voice is his father-Diesent!

In order to confirm the owner of this voice, Wu's eyes widened, and he looked behind in disbelief-

In the white moonlight, the fine wrinkles and long dark brown hair were more distinct, and the sharp eyes were staring at him suspiciously.

This man was indeed Disent, and he was only one step away from him, so close that he could feel even the soft and warm snort.

"Ah——!h

This silent appearance really frightened the defenseless Wu, and he was so frightened that he lay back and sat on the ground.

Wu looked at the locked doors and windows in disbelief, and couldn't think of a way for his father to get in in his suspicious mind.

But compared to him, he cares more about when his father came into his room?

Seeing that Wu was so frightened by his appearance that he sat on the ground, Disent, as a father, couldn't help but nervously step forward to inquire about the situation.

"Are you alright?"

"Oh! Uh- it's okay, thank you for your concern. ”

Wu smiled awkwardly, and at the same time endured the pain of the flesh of his buttocks, and slowly stood up.

"Father...... Father? When did you get here? ”

"I've just arrived, and I saw you talking to yourself in the mirror, did something happen?"

"I didn't ...... It's fine, I just feel like there's something on my face. ”

"Yes! Remember to wash your face often, otherwise it will look sloppy, but it's a pity for your delicate face. ”

"Yes...... Yes, thank you for your concern. ”

Once again, he embarrassed to thank his father for his concern, and at the same time was surprised by his father's gentleness.

This is not because I am surprised that my father usually treats me poorly, but mainly because after tonight's events, my father can still talk to him in a calm tone.

No—not only was his tone steady, but judging from his father's breath and face, he didn't seem to feel angry at all.

Having said that, I still have to pay attention to basic etiquette, maybe it's just that my father can't bear to blame me.

But how should you talk to your father?

As both a father and a monarch, the father seems to pay more attention to the position of "monarch". Usually there is no opportunity to have a private conversation with my father, let alone understand my father's conversation style.

However, as a son, he never thought of taking the initiative to understand his father, or did not dare to talk to his father.

I always feel ...... There is a certain estrangement between himself and his father. Could it be because of the mother's relationship?

But all the knots may be untied tonight, after all, now is a good time to have a good conversation with my father.

Take advantage of the soft moonlight and the dead of night to get to know your father well.

"That's right! Father, is tonight's dinner over? ”

"Oh! I escaped. ”

Disenter replied without hesitation.

"Ahhh It turned out to be an escape, what a hard ......, wait! What did you say, Father? ”

"Huh? I said I escaped. ”

Father Emperor repeated what he had just said solemnly, and Wu once again accepted the great answer with his ears.

It's really hard to imagine that that righteous and awe-inspiring face can say such shameless behavior without changing his face, and even Wu, who has always stolen chickens and dogs, feels goosebumps.

What's going on? Is this the father's joking style? Could this be the "contrast cute" in the mouth of the palace maid?

Not ——! It's not cute at all.,It's very uncomfortable.。

And with the personality of his father, he would never make such a crude joke-

That being said, if that sentence is true, it's even more shocking than a joke.

"What's wrong? You are speechless. ”

"Oh! No, no, no...... Just a little surprised. ”

"Surprised? Oh hahahahaha——! ”

This sudden heroic laugh completely broke the serious posture, and the instantaneous image change made my body tremble in fright, and I almost choked on my saliva.

"What's wrong? Think this kind of unorthodox style is completely different from my image, right? I don't blame you for thinking like this, after all, even Jie Minglangke doesn't know it. ”

"You say...... Uncle? ”

"Yes! Usually I'm quite restrained when I'm alone in my room, let alone show my true side in front of others. ”
