Sether's army marched along the desolate streets, Hidden Eyebrow rode between Princess Luther and White Charm, and Sether and General Liszt were at the forefront.

She saw a small temple on the hillside, connected to a sturdy, low-slung Yellowstone manor, which was particularly desolate and cramped compared to Poppy City, and most of the houses were black and empty shells, and there was not a single person.

"Are they all dead?" said Yin Xin.

"I'm just afraid to see a heavily armed army, Your Highness Yin," Princess Luther pointed at her pillar-like arm, and looked over with her eyebrows, and sure enough, she saw several boys and girls with dirty faces huddled behind the ruins of the house and poked out of their heads, and a few archers on the trees and rooftops were hiding very secretly.

Nearby, the owner of a cake shop opened the blinds and yelled at the army, and the noise and noise made many people lean out of their hiding place, and the place gradually regained its vitality.

"It's called Egret Town. "Road Road.

Sure enough, in the square in the center of the town stood a fountain with a statue of an egret, and the water from its pointed mouth continued to flow into the shallow pool. Several timid women were drawing water there.

A few meters away, several hanged men hung from the creaking rusty iron rods, their bodies blackened and rotten, with crows and vultures hovering low above them.

"What's going on?" asked Yin Xinmei.

"It is said that he is a subordinate of the opposition to the party, Jin Dagong, and he has fled abroad a long time ago? Almost all the disputes and murders in Jalal have something to do with him. Luther replied.

"But I've heard that Grand Duke Kim also has supporters within your royal family. Yin Xinmei remembered the rumors he had heard before.

"That's right, that's what we guessed. "The opposition in the country is bent on overthrowing my brother's regime. They almost brazenly supported Dagong Kim. ”

"Who's the most motivated?"

"Our cousin, Prince Andur," said Luther, "Ace and I have long suspected that he has been hooking up with Grand Duke Kim, but we have no proof. The eldest brother said that if you are not sure, you must not move. ”

"Big brother is referring to King Donterre, right?"

"Yes, we are all brothers and sisters of the same father and mother, Danterre is the eldest son, Ace is the second son, and I am the youngest girl. ”

But princess, you look older than both of them, and you are probably the most special one in your family, and the most special woman in the whole of Jalal.

"Dare to ask Princess Fangling?" Yin Xinmei couldn't help but inquire.

Luther laughed roughly, but she wasn't angry, and glanced at Yin Xin's eyebrows with a self-deprecating expression that was used to nature, "Your Highness Yin must think that I am like my brother's mother." ”

"How dare you. Princess, you don't have to answer my previous question at all. ”

"I'm used to people pointing behind my back, and although you didn't say anything, I could see it in your eyes, Your Highness. ”

"I don't mean it. Yin Xinmei replied awkwardly.

"I know that even if you and Your Majesty are foreigners, they are too friendly to my own nationals. Luther touched his face as if it were an unpleasant mask, "Even if I am the sister of Danterre, I have not been teased to my face since I was a child—but, neither you nor Your Majesty have done so, and I am grateful." "Breeze literature

"Don't be grateful, the princess is so humble, she is really pure and noble in heart. ”

"I'm willing to use my pure and noble heart plus ten years less to live in exchange for the beauty of His Highness Yin. ”

"My beauty?" Yin Xinmei smiled dumbly, she raised her elbow and pointed to Bai Mei, who had been silent and listening to their conversation not far away, "This one's beauty should be even more amazing." ”

"Master, my appearance cannot be described as amazing, there is no one more beautiful than you in this world," Bai Meiyan smiled, "You just don't know it." ”

Yin Xin's face was shocked, and before she could answer, Princess Luther said, "The beauty of His Royal Highness Yin is unforgettable, and it is unforgettable to see, but it is just ......."

She didn't continue, so she finished her words for her, "It's just that there's no Sethami, isn't it?"

Princess Luther's face was as pale as a red insoles, and she tried to make a nonchalant appearance, but she failed completely.

Yin Xinmei couldn't help but sneer, and then quickly picked up the shelf and talked about other topics with a serious face.

"Beautiful or not, I have my own ruler in my heart, Your Highness Luther," said Yin Xin, "You are working like this with the saddle of the foreign army, won't Your Majesty Donterre be worried?"

"My eldest brother knows my martial arts, and I can protect myself and others," Luther patted the long sword at his waist, "You need me." ”

I think you need us, or rather, you need him—Sether, and you need to talk to us about him all the time.

Suddenly, there was a commotion ahead, followed by the roar of several muskets, and the vanguard of the Golden Guard immediately attacked, and the remaining guards and the Black Iron Army immediately surrounded several of them.

"What's going on?" asked General Liszt, who had driven back from the horse.

"Your Majesty has been ambushed, and he has been shot in the ribs," replied Liszt quickly, "and I have been ordered to come and check on the safety of your ladies." ”

"Is Your Majesty's wound serious?" said Princess Luther at once.

"There was a lot of blood and the situation was not optimistic, but he was still conscious and could still speak. Liszt turned his horse's head and motioned for them to follow him, "We can't go any further today, Your Majesty needs to rest, and the military doctor needs to get his bullets right away." We're going to stay here, come with me. ”

"It must be someone from my cousin's men," Luther was excited, "he has repeatedly admonished his brother and His Majesty to draw a clear line between him, this place is only a dozen miles away from the boundary of his territory, and it is absolutely impossible for him to be someone else!

"Your Royal Highness, please calm down, don't put yourself and Your Majesty in double danger because of impulsiveness, now Your Majesty's injury is troublesome enough," Liszt's expression was unusually stern, "If you have any more longs and weaknesses, how can you reassure Your Majesty? How can you explain to King Tanterre? In the absence of any evidence at present, if you insist on going to find your cousin, Prince Andur, alone, then please leave us completely, and do not come back, lest we be implicated by your recklessness." ”

Princess Luther understood the weight of Liszt's words, and said no more, but clenched the sword in her hand in indignation, and her chest bulged out like a cow.

They followed General Liszt, escorted by the Golden Guard and the Black Iron Army, to the foot of a small hill to the east, where they found a modest inn with grey granite walls, dirty windows, and a large part of the roof that had been burned down, but had been poorly patched up.

The army had set up camp around the inn, and the vanguard rangers sent out by Liszt had not yet returned, and he waited anxiously for the spies to return information while he settled a few ladies.

An iron sign hangs from the door with a large bite of a strawberry depicted on it. They dismounted at the stable in the corner of the inn, and Sether had already been escorted into it.
