The two Dukes Nanton and Kasugi were quite shocked when they saw Onian coming off the airship. They never imagined that Her Royal Highness the Princess would actually sneak into such an inconspicuous mercenary group and sneak away. Come to the front.
"See Your Highness the Princess." The two Dukes bowed to Onian.
"Uncles, please get up quickly." O'Ni'an quickly helped the two uncles, the Dukes, up. "Thanks to the two uncles, we traveled all day and night to relieve the siege of Xituo City. Otherwise, I really wouldn't know these Tingxiao people. How long can you be arrogant?"
"Your Highness is serious. We are here under military orders, so naturally we dare not delay." Nanton said with a smile.
When the fourth young master saw that the princess was talking to the two earls, he naturally stepped aside first.
"Your Highness, your injury..." Ji Shan glanced at Onian and asked with concern. The two of them had also heard a little bit about the princess's injury. At that time, they said that Master Piro had no good solution for the time being and had to rest peacefully. How come he can now appear on the battlefield in such good spirits?
"It has been cured." Onian said with a smile, "Your two uncles are pregnant."
"Look at what you said, your highness. It's not just the two of us. A lot of our old guys are all thinking about your highness's injury. Everyone knows that you, princess, are his majesty's heart." Nanton said with a kind face. said.
"Yes, so I hope that Your Highness will pay attention to your own safety and leave things like defending the isolated city to us old guys. Your Highness is a man of wealth, so you can't risk your own life." Count Shan persuaded.
"What the two uncles said is that if my father knew that I secretly ran out of the palace, he would probably teach me a lesson." Onian said with a helpless smile.
The two earls thought that the apple of your Majesty's eye was not a light-saving lamp. It seemed that these young people were all the same, and none of them made their elders worry.
"Your Highness, are you going to the front line?" Nanton asked on second thought.
"Yes, I was just about to ask, uncles, how is the war on the front line?"
"When we set off, His Majesty received a letter of challenge from Marshal Jiuzhan in Tingxiao, saying that he would fight to the death with His Majesty on February 15th." Nanton replied.
"That means there are three days left. The Duke of Nanton spent a day and a night rushing from the front line to get here, so it seems that he should be able to catch up." Onian thought in her mind.
"Your Highness, if you are in a hurry to go to the front line, why don't you go all the way north along the provincial road from Fengtie Castle to New Inn City? Wouldn't this save a lot of time?" Nanton couldn't help but ask. He was also very puzzled, why did the princess come to the southern coastline when she had nothing to do? Still hanging around in his son's mercenary group who can't stand out? Is it possible that the princess is really attracted to the child of the Fei Lie family, as rumored outside?
Onian was complaining in her heart at this moment. She could not tell others that she had been tied up by someone who thought she was right and had come to this remote coastline.
"At that time, I was in a hurry and injured my wound. I needed to kill a few monsters in the mountains to make a potion to stabilize the injury. Thanks to these friends in the mercenary group who risked their lives to get it, otherwise I might not be able to escape the king. We're going to the province. Later, we planned to go north along the provincial road after recovering from our injuries." At this point, O'Ni'an smiled, "But none of the leaders of the mercenary group were worry-free, and they actually ignored the military orders of the Ministry of Military Affairs. I couldn't stop them if they marched without permission, and I was afraid that they would fall into the hands of the Tingxiao mercenaries on the coastline, so I couldn't just leave, so I had no choice but to go all the way to Xituo City."
"Hey! This kid Laiwu is really getting more and more active. He just doesn't obey the orders of the Military Affairs Department. He also puts the princess in danger. It's really going to turn the world upside down. I'll go deal with him in a moment." Nan. Dun scolded with a stern face, "Thanks to your highness for protecting us all the way this time, otherwise these little guys would probably have lost their lives."
If Lai Wu was here, he would probably cry out for injustice. He didn't know that there was a daring "traitor" in his team, who secretly hid the princess in the mercenary group.
"Princess, this time was blessed by auspicious people. We must not act so recklessly in the future. If something happens to you, your majesty will not be able to withstand such a blow, especially when the two countries are at war." Qi Shan said sincerely.
"What Uncle Jishan taught me is that I am just like these young people, they are all messing around." Onian said with shame, "But this time, Xi Tuo City can be defended, and their mercenary group is indispensable." . In addition, they bravely braved the mountains and saved my life, so this can be regarded as canceling out the merits and demerits, right?"
"Your Highness said so, so let's leave it at that." Nanton's expression softened slightly.
"Yes, brother, don't be too harsh on the young man. I just saw him fighting very bravely, no worse than when you were young, brother." Hesugi also comforted Nanton, "Besides, these children For the safety of the princess, you are quite brave to be able to go to those terrifying mountains and fight against the monsters. How can ordinary people have such courage?"
"That's not bad. I really didn't expect that these guys who spend their days just waiting to die would have the guts to go to that mountain range." Nanton said lightly.
Then, without waiting for the battlefield to be cleaned up, the defender of Siduo City led his people to welcome the princess and the two dukes into the city. Laiwu, Alvin and others followed the two dukes honestly.
This victory is indeed inspiring and worthy of celebration. When everyone entered the city, they found that the entire Xituo City was already abuzz with music and drums. It seemed that the princess had really frustrated him by not letting the city guard hold a celebration banquet yesterday. This time she planned to have a complete one. Big one. The common people lined the streets to greet her, with joyful expressions on their faces. They waved their arms vigorously towards the leader, Princess Onian, and cheered loudly. If it weren't for the Maine soldiers guarding both sides, they would have been killed again. Come up and offer melon and fruit wine.
Whether it is the stoic defenders of Siduo City, the royal cavalry who traveled across the starry night to come to the rescue, or the miraculous mercenary group from all over the world, they are all heroes in this battle, and they are worthy of being rewarded with fine wines and delicacies by the people. .
-------------------------------------------------- ----------------------------------------
Feng Yuan led everyone into the city lord's palace, where a banquet had already been set up.
While the generals were almost seated, Feng Yu picked up the silver spoon and tilted the cup holder twice. After making a "ding, ding" sound, the extremely noisy hall gradually became quiet.
"I think it's better for Her Royal Highness to say a few words first." Feng Yuan said with a smile and glanced at Onian who was sitting in the main seat.
"Yes, yes." Everyone in the seats around nodded in agreement.
Onian stood up with a smile to greet her, then calmed down and said: "This great victory depends entirely on the concerted efforts of everyone, whether it is the defenders of Siduo City, the Royal Cavalry, or the mercenaries from all directions. They are all the heroes of this great victory. Just imagine, if these Tingxiao people were allowed to attack the city, what kind of suffering would the people who just welcomed us into the city suffer? So here, I want to thank you. Everyone, thank you for your sacrifice of life, thank you for saving the people from fire and water. Come! Let’s raise a toast, for the Yafei Empire! We will let these ambitious Tingxiao people come here with their lives, but not return with their lives!"
"For the Yafei Empire! For the Yafei Empire!"
"Let the people of Tingxiao come here if they have the destiny, but return if they don't!"
Everyone raised their glasses and shouted in unison.
Alvin secretly looked at Onian while holding the wine glass, and suddenly felt that the aura of an emperor was sometimes innate. Why could a girl speak so sonorously and powerfully, uniting people's hearts? Just because she is a princess?
In fact, he has never been very adaptable to this particularly lively environment. His limit is to drink with Lai Wu and a few others, but it is feasible to add a few female concubines. This situation is somewhat beyond his capabilities now.
Just as he was holding the wine glass and walking into the bright hall outside to look at the pots of green bamboos, he happened to catch sight of Laiwu and his father, the Duke of Nanton, walking into a room on the second floor.
"Looking at Laiwu's solemn look, he won't be scolded by his father again." Alvin twitched the corner of his mouth and thought to himself.
In the room at this time, the two of them were talking secretly about topics that Alvin could not imagine.
"Why did the princess appear here?" Duke Nanton asked with a frown.
"How do I know which of Alvin's tendons is wrong, so I can secretly take her out?" Laiwu said helplessly.
"Then you have to be careful and don't let Alvin get any clues. That little guy is always careful." Nanton reminded.
"Oh, I got it." Lai Wu seemed a little upset when his father mentioned Alvin.
"Do you understand what I'm saying?" Nanton emphasized in a stiff tone.
"I know. I won't let him see anything." Lai Wu said with his head lowered.
"Also, why are you running to that mountain range so well? The princess's life has nothing to do with you? What if you die there?" Nanton got a little angry when he said this. "I usually look very smart, but why do I act stupid at the critical moment?"
"At that time, we all agreed to go together. It's hard for me to say not to go, right?" Lai Wu defended.
"What are we discussing? Alvin may be obsessed with lust. Is it possible that you also like the princess?" Nanton glared and said, "Before setting off, I asked you to march along the distant sailing sea line. I just want you to be safer. ? It’s good for you, you went to the mountains to seek death when you had nothing to do, and now you come to Xituo City to seek death, do you think your life is very hard?”
"I'm not dead." Lai Wu was helpless in the face of a series of questions.
"You like fighting so much. Let the prince arrange a position for you in the army when the time comes." Nanton saw that his son looked a little depressed and stopped questioning him harshly.
"what ever."
-------------------------------------------------- ----------------------------------------
In the afternoon, many generals were drunk and lying around in the hall.
Seeing the blush on Onian's face, Alvin knew that she must have had a few drinks, so he helped her to enjoy the sea breeze, which she treated as sobering up. In fact, the general generals are self-aware and will not rush over to toast the princess. After all, their status is not enough. In addition, there were two dukes and Feng Yu nearby, even if any general who did not know his superiority came to persuade him to drink, he would have been turned away long ago. Alvin thought that she might have something pressing on her mind, so she drank two more drinks unintentionally.
At this time, in a room on the second floor, Lai Wu and Chen Zhu were sitting with solemn expressions. These two people had not drank much today. Chen Zhu also had an open envelope in his hand. This letter was brought to Chen Zhu by Duke Qianxiao Tolewu's father.
"What did your father's letter say?" Lai Wu looked at Chen Zhu and asked.
"What else can I say? It's just to save my life." Chen Zhu whispered.
"Does that mean our mercenary group is done here?" Laiwu said with a wry smile.
"Aren't there still Alvin and Kaiba?" Although Chen Zhu also said with a smile, there was a bit of sadness in his smile.
"Yes." Laiwu said smoothly.
The two looked at each other and said nothing for a while. There was a heavy weight of depression building up in the room.
"Are you sure you don't want to tell them two?" Chen Zhu said slowly.
"If we tell Alvin, he still has to fly to the front line overnight to inform his father?" Lai Wu said and glanced at Chen Zhu, "Isn't that all over?"
"What about Kaiba? You won't tell me?" Chen Zhu couldn't help but ask.
"It's not like you don't know Kaiba. If you tell him, he will definitely tell Alvin." Laiwu smiled bitterly, "He is a very friendly person, and he is not like you and me. Like this."
"Ha. That's true." Chen Zhu also laughed at himself.
"Is it possible that the letter your father sent didn't mention that you should keep silent?"
"Of course there is."
"That's it."
"But... you should also know that if they go now, they probably won't be able to come back." Chen Zhu said and turned to look at Lai Wu.
Lai Wu lowered his eyes and sighed, "There's nothing we can do about it... maybe we can survive."
"I didn't expect that you, Lai Wu, would also lie to yourself." Chen Zhu said sarcastically.
