Xia Ya had a strange expression on her face, three points of sneering, three points of embarrassment, three points of wretchedness... The remaining point seemed to be greatly relieved.
There was a five-finger print of a slap on the turtle's face. The mark looked slender and slender, and the black five-finger mountain was imprinted on his face, but he just covered his face timidly and didn't dare to look at the poor creature.
Adeline was attacked in the chest, and her instinctive reaction was to slap her, but after she slapped her, the girl regretted it. Seeing this turtle holding her face and dodging her eyes, Adeline shrank her hands and blushed: "I, I didn't mean to hit you..." At the end, the voice was almost inaudible.
Xia Ya's eyes wandered around, and in the end, he suddenly laughed a few times strangely, and muttered a few words in his mouth.
If you get close, you can hear it. This turtle is talking to himself, and what he said is actually true.
"I'm not sick, so I'm not sick, hahahaha, I'm really not a rabbit..."
The two enemies have stayed here, and they both feel a little embarrassed to each other, neither talking nor not talking.
But at this time, a sigh came from the side: "Hey! I did my best in the fight just now! The blood has also shed so much, you long-legged little girl is too unconscionable, just go to help him, not to help him. I."
Dax sat on the ground with a treacherous smile, and threw the large scissors aside, covering his chest with one hand, as if he didn't care that the wound on his chest was bursting, and blood was flowing like no money.
If it was in the past, Adeline would kill him! But now, it is really embarrassing to continue sitting next to Xia Ya like this. As soon as she heard Dax's words, Adeline quickly jumped up at the opportunity, ran to Dax's side to help him up, and hurriedly took out the wound medicine. Come.
Dax looked at Adeline, whose face was flushed, and Xia, who was still holding her face in a daze in the distance, and said in a low voice, "You lover, you seem to be stupid?"
"Bah! You are stupid!" Adeline's face sank.
Dax's eyes were obviously malicious, and he glanced at Adeline's chest: "Will you slap him if you touch it... Well, it's worth it."
Seeing this bastard looking eager to try, Adeline grabbed the large pair of scissors on the ground next to her, clicked twice, and looked at Dax coldly: "If you dare to slam me, I'll cut it off. you… "
At this time, Adeline suddenly felt a stab behind her, she turned around, and saw Xi Ya standing behind her, looking at herself with a pained expression, poking her finger on her shoulder.
"Hello." Xia Ya's voice was solemn.
"... huh?" Adeline blushed with emotion.
"You... that... are you really a woman?"
"… "
"You... how can you be a woman?"
"...", sparks began to appear in his eyes.
"You... how could there be a woman like you?"
"...", the veins on his forehead burst out.
"You... were you a woman from the beginning? Or did you suddenly become like this recently?" Xia asked cautiously.
"..." Adeline finally broke out, jumping up and flying: "Go to hell! You bastard!!!!"
Xia Ya sees a kick flying, if it were in the past, how could this poor bastard kick him? This kid is so slapped with his legs that he can slap "him" away with just one slap. But now someone kicked him, and Xiaya was about to fight back, but suddenly remembered: she is a woman! Where is the clenched fist in your hand so embarrassed to hit it
boom!
A kick directly on Xiaya's nose, strong.
…
Seeing that there was another shoe print on Xia Ya's face in addition to the five fingerprints, Adeline also regretted it a little. I'm just annoyed, but I don't know what to say.
This turtle, what he said was too irritating!
What's more, myself... I and him have even done that kind of shameful thing, how could he say that about himself
Could it be that he dared not admit it!
Thinking of this, Adeline suddenly felt aggrieved. But he didn't realize that on that confused night in the imperial capital, Mr. Xia Ya didn't even know what he had done that night.
Now, between the two, one is guilty and the other is wronged, but they both hold back and say nothing.
Instead, Xi Ya had a few words with Dax. It turned out that when he heard the poor man calling for help, he thought that this guy was not a good person (actually, now Xi Ya is also a little unhappy when he sees this Dax, this guy always wears a trace of it) Oddly flat smile. This expression is very similar to the Darwin who made him suffer.)
However, they just helped him beat Hastings away together, so he can be regarded as a comrade who has sweated and shed blood together.
After saying hello politely, Xiaya saw Daphne!
Daphne was sick, and was in a coma for a while and then woke up. He hadn't regained consciousness, but was lying on the ground, motionless.
But even though she was sick, the most beautiful woman among the imperial aristocracy, she did not hide her beauty in the slightest, but in that sick face, she was more and more tender and poignant. It makes life even more pity.
Xia Ya just walked over, but immediately recognized the identity of this sick beauty!
uh... it seems...
It seems like a woman who has been attacked by her breast again
what! Yes! It was the hunting meeting outside the Imperial City... By the river, he also saved her life and helped her prevent an assassination.
At that time, Xiaya had already learned about Daphne's identity, the honor of the crown princess. It's just that the turtle knew that the water was too deep to be touched by himself, so at that time, he was blindly pretending to be stupid in front of the old emperor.
But now, seeing this beautiful princess lying in front of her, she looked down.
He turned to look at Adeline: "She..."
Adeline didn't care about being angry with Xia, she came over, hugged Daphne, and said with a sad face: "Sister, she's sick, alas... If it wasn't for her to accompany me to take care of me along the way, I'd probably have Just... Xia Ya, you must save her!"
"Sister?" A gleam of light flashed in Xia Ya's eyes inadvertently: "His Royal Highness, is your sister? Then you... "
Adeline blushed, and before she could speak, Dax had already walked over slowly and said with a smile: "Is the identity of a long-legged chick, hehe, she is not an ordinary person who can match the future queen and sisters of the empire... She is the daughter of the royal family of the Byzantine Empire, Her Royal Highness Princess Adeline."
Her Royal Highness Princess... Crown Princess...
Xia Ya is not a fool, and immediately remembered the past events when the two were together before!
Those elite knights who chased, those who took her away...
(Fuck, this royal family is really weird. This princess was assassinated, and this princess was also assassinated... )
Xia Ya pondered for a while: "Why did you all come here? The imperial capital... Is the imperial capital still there?"
Adeline shook her head: "I... We were captured by the rebels a few days ago, and this... Mr. Dax brought us out. Imperial Capital... What happened to the Imperial Capital, we don't know."
"The imperial capital is still there." Dax answered Char's question, the guy's eyes flashed and he looked at the turtle: "Now that General Adric is in charge of the overall situation in Osgilia, the Landis Kingdom has dispatched a team of The fleet came to assist Osgilia. Outside the city were the Rodriian cavalry led by General Ruhr, as well as the 2nd and 7th Corps. The situation is not too bad for the time being. I think, even if the rebels are strong, at least It shouldn't be a problem for a few months."
Xia nodded, but looked at Dax: "Then what about you? What is your identity?"
Dax smiled: "Me? My name is Popov Dax, you can think of me as a mercenary! Haha, I take money to do things, and I'm willing to take jobs such as murder and arson. of."
This is obviously dodging, but since this Dax didn't want to say more, Xiaya didn't ask questions deliberately. After nodding her head, she felt that the poor worm beside her was staring at her tightly, and Xiaya felt a little scalp numb, and quickly turned her head to look at Daphne on the ground: "Oh, this crown princess, also Poor enough."
Adeline sighed softly: "Isn't it... Sister, she was kind enough to send me out of the city, but she was caught by the rebels, and she suffered so much along the way..."
"Uh, I didn't say that." Xia scratched her head: "Well, she's the crown princess, right? Alas... Isn't it pitiful enough to marry a rabbit?"
Poor bastard: "… "
Dax looked at Char, then looked at Adeline, and suddenly smiled: "Well, Your Excellency Char Leiming, right? Can I talk to you?"
"Oh?"
Xia Ya glanced at the man. There was always something about this guy that made him feel something was wrong.
"Your name, I have also heard of it. It should be the imperial general who became famous in the last war between your country and Odin, fought with Odin Valkyrie Hastings, and was rewarded by the empire, right?" Dax With a smile on his face, he smiled unhurriedly: "I have heard of your valiant name. You can be so appreciated at such a young age, and the future will naturally rise steadily. Later, I heard about your honor. Fengjiang is a general, and the military task of unifying the county is so important at such a young age..."
"Okay, okay." Xia waved his hand and squinted at Dax: "I don't like to go around in so many circles when I talk - I'm the Xia Lei Ming you said. You don't have to report my resume. Last time...you just tell me what you want to say to me."
Dax took a breath, and his tone became a little more solemn: "How is the battle in the north?"
Xiaya glanced at the guy: "Siltain County belongs to Manninger, but More County is still in Lao Tzu's hands."
Dax nodded, his eyes suddenly lit up, and there were more strange things in his eyes: "Is More County still in your hands?"
Xia shook his head: "What's weird about this. If I refuse to surrender, I have to fight the Odins."
Dax pursed his lips and smiled a little weirdly. He bowed his body and bowed to Xia Ya.
"That... Your Excellency, I have an idea to make a deal with you. I wonder if you are interested?"
Xiaya narrowed his eyes: "Deal? Ha! What deal? What can you trade with me?"
"A lot..." Dax's tone was generally understated, but what he said was shocking every word: "Byzantium's northern border is thousands of miles of fertile soil, millions of people, dozens of large and small towns, countless wealth! And the number of Odin Chixue army. Wan Xiongbing... All of these can be used as the content of our transaction!"
※※※
Salon Bonelli stood outside the door, first tidied up his clothes, and then gathered his hair. A court attendant next to him stood by holding a round mirror. The old prime minister looked at his own appearance in the mirror. He was neat enough and his hair was meticulous before he nodded.
The last door in the hall in front of him slowly opened, and the old prime minister took a deep breath and strode in.
Walking into this room, there is a strong medicinal smell on the face, as if even the air is full of bitterness.
In the huge room, the air was so smoky that the old man frowned slightly.
This is the bedroom of Emperor Cantos, next to the huge ornate bed in the middle, the old emperor is sitting beside the bed, his sparse white hair is loose, and his thin body is covered with a snow-white robe. But it looked rather ghostly.
The huge and bright candlesticks around it not only did not bring much light to the room, but instead looked full of yin.
Emperor Cantos had just finished taking today's medicine, and his breathing was still a little short. Hearing footsteps, the old emperor turned around and looked at Sarumbonelli: "You are here."
Sarumbonelli bent over to salute, the old emperor's face darkened, and he raised his hand: "Let's all go out."
The surrounding waiters in linen robes bent down and stepped out. Only in the corner of the wall was the silent middle-aged man who was still standing there like a shadow.
"Outside... how's it going?"
The old emperor's face seemed to twitch.
"...It's okay." Sarum Bonelli hesitated for a moment: "I have already comforted everyone and told everyone to disperse... I think... "
"Okay, you don't need to say good things to comfort me." The old emperor suddenly raised his head and smiled, although his smile was weak, it still retained the heroism left in the blood and rain of the past: "This is my empire! My servants! Hmph... I know them naturally!"
A morbid flush appeared on the pale cheeks of the old emperor: "Hmph, if it was before yesterday, the South was still in our hands, and there were nominally four central standing corps, and more than a dozen county garrison troops. Although these We all know exactly what power is about. But it is still a comfort and hope for one day! With this hope, everyone can continue to deceive and comfort themselves. Stand by my side... Because they know that they are all nobles! And those rebels outside the city are warlords! They are aristocratic warlords! Once the sky falls, the country will change! These nobles in the city have all their identities. No guarantee! Those rebels will not continue to maintain their position, they will only overthrow them and replace them! Therefore, these nobles will stand firmly by my side and be loyal to me! It is not because of how loyal they are, but It's just a choice. As long as I have a glimmer of hope, they will choose to support me! But once I really collapse... Without the last hope, then the loyalty of these guys will not exist. At this time, they The multiple-choice question I faced has changed! Either, follow me, the day the city is destroyed, the family is destroyed, and everything turns to ashes! Or... Betray me and join those rebels, although your status in the future is not guaranteed, but at least you can stay. The big deal is to hand over all power and status, and go back to Anxin to be a powerless rich tycoon, and to live a life! But in the current situation, it is not bad to have this second way. !"
The words of the old emperor can be said to be heart-wrenching words. When Sarumbonelli heard it, the corners of his eyes jumped a few times. Just as he was about to say something, the old emperor continued to sneer: "Look, Sarumbo... Tonight. , After these guys go back, they will move on their own. Some will write letters to the rebels outside the city, some will make a retreat, and some... hum!"
The old prime minister looked gloomy and raised his face: "Lord Adric has already sent troops to martial law throughout the city. Even if some guys want to do something, they can't make trouble!"
The old emperor fell silent. He sat on the edge of the bed, still facing Sarumbonelli. After a long silence, he asked, "Are the soldiers in the south really gone?"
"No." The old prime minister almost gritted his teeth and said this sentence: "Your Majesty, this is the last force we can deploy. In fact, from the beginning, I strongly opposed the deployment of the four southern corps... South The four corps of the army have been abandoned for too long, and the tens of thousands of soldiers, the level of training and equipment is not enough! If we leave it there, we will be stationed on the spot to protect ourselves, and we can barely keep more than a dozen counties in the south and continue to be ours. Even if there is a change, if Osgilia is really not guaranteed, we can give up the imperial capital, retreat to the south, and continue to deal with these rebels based on a dozen southern counties! But now... forcibly If the 80,000 people are transferred, all the forces in the south will be evacuated at once. If the 80,000 troops are empty, the more than ten counties in the south may not even have the ability to protect themselves. If Yanan goes down…”
"No." At this time, the old emperor suddenly showed a bit of decisiveness as a "gun emperor", he clenched his fists, his eyes were sharp, and he said categorically without hesitation: "The rebels will never be separated. The troops are going south! Because this will make them split inside!"
The old emperor's breathing continued. Every time he took a breath, the lungs made a heavy noise like a broken bellows, but the tone of Emperor Cantos was so determined!
