At that moment, even the king himself looked a little confused.
Who is this person...does he know him
In the eyes of everyone with doubts, the old man walked towards the king, and finally knelt down on one knee not far in front of him and gave him a complete salute. After the old man walked in, the general seemed to recognize him.
"You are... aren't you the manager here?"
The old man stood up, nodded, and said with some excitement: "After guarding this granary for so long, I never thought that I would be able to see His Majesty the King again in my lifetime."
The king frowned: "Have you seen me?"
The old man replied: "Your Majesty, you may not remember me. I am the general manager of this granary. Every year I go to Glory to report the accounts to Your Majesty."
"That's it..."
Not recognizing the person, the king laughed a few times, feeling a little embarrassed.
To be honest, he didn't have much impression of the granary manager. He was probably just a minor official. However, he was able to stand up at this critical moment and knock out the priest who wanted to burn down the granary.
And... looking at the other party, it seemed that he had been waiting for the king for a long time, which surprised him.
Did he have a few confidants buried in unknown places
Benjamin also completely eliminated the priest at this moment, flew over, and couldn't help but ask the old man: "You said you have been waiting for a long time, did you already know that the king in the palace was a fake king, and that the real king has been living outside? ?”
Is the fake king so weak in persuasion
The old man took a deep breath and said slowly: "I didn't know the whereabouts of His Majesty the King before. But the impostor in the palace... Last month I entered the palace and reported the accounts as usual, and I felt that the person sitting on the throne Something’s not right.”
When the king heard this, he suddenly became interested: "What kind of person is that impostor?"
"Although it can be seen that he is imitating His Majesty's words and deeds, that feeling is definitely not what Your Majesty would have." The old man continued to answer, "Your Majesty has many things to do and is busy with official duties. He has never paid much attention to the granary. In previous years, when he entered the palace, I can finish the report soon. But this year, I just said a few words, and the person interrupted me, looked very concerned, started asking questions, and even picked up the account book and looked through it himself. You said, just pretending How could he be the real His Majesty at this level?"
“…”
Benjamin wiped his sweat aside.
So... did this substitute king reveal his secret because he seemed too diligent and caring for his people? Although he had never met the substitute brother, at this moment, Benjamin couldn't help but want to cry for him.
However, when he thought about it carefully, he always felt that there was a big loophole in the church finding a substitute to be the king.
That's a king! There are countless pairs of eyes staring at him every day, and suddenly there is a different person. No matter how similar he is, the subtle differences in behavior, demeanor and temperament can make people feel that something is slightly wrong. How can he hide it from everyone
Sure enough, everyone is still not that easy to fool. Then a general manager of the granary appeared.
The old man continued: "Later, rumors began to spread nearby about the fake king and the real king. I even went back to the farm in my hometown to inquire about it. Unexpectedly, Your Majesty showed up at that farm. Come back. After that, I made up my mind to guard this granary for His Majesty and wait for the day when His Majesty returns."
The king was very surprised: "Farm?"
He couldn't help but think that following Benjamin around the countryside... was actually quite useful!
"Yes, your Majesty's story is being circulated in farms everywhere, saying that one day you will return to the throne!" The old man seemed to be a little excited when he said it, "Just this morning, Glorina Bian just gave an order, asking us to be careful of sneak attacks by bandits, and I immediately thought of His Majesty. Therefore, I was cautious and did not pass this order to others. I was just waiting for His Majesty's arrival tonight!"
As he spoke, he knelt down again and bowed deeply to the king. The surrendered guards also knelt down on one knee and made a gesture of worship to the king.
—They didn’t understand the situation before, but now that the manager has spoken, what attitude can they have
The king was deeply moved when he saw this.
"Rise up, you are all my most loyal subjects. When I return to Glory, you will all be greatly rewarded."
Benjamin on the side shook his head helplessly.
So that's what happened.
No wonder the entire granary was so negligent in its defense. It turned out that the general manager had received the order but deliberately failed to carry it out, which was why their sneak attack went so smoothly.
Really... If they had known that the manager of the granary was so loyal, they wouldn't have had to bring people to fight him. Contact the supervisor directly. How much food and grass is not already at your fingertips
The priest was quite unlucky. He thought he could turn the situation around, but he was given a sap blow by an old man in his fifties or sixties, and his soul was knocked out.
"Old man, how many officials do you think there will be in Carites who have discovered something is wrong with the fake king like you?" After thinking about it, Benjamin asked again.
The fact that they worked so hard to tour every village should have affected more than just one granary manager. Perhaps, there are many officials across the country who are waiting patiently for the king's return like this old man.
Of course they have to take advantage of it.
"This... I don't know, but I shouldn't be the only one." The old man was stunned and replied, "After the fake king came to power, he didn't show up often. Only those who took the initiative to meet His Majesty had the opportunity to see him. However, I I believe officials from all over Carites are well aware of this.”
Benjamin nodded and suddenly looked at the king: "In that case, your Majesty, why not take advantage of this opportunity..."
When the general heard this, he couldn't help but show excitement.
The king was a little confused. "Taking this opportunity? What to do?"
"Knock down Changhe Town next to the granary, and take this opportunity to tell the world that the real king of Carites is back." Benjamin beat his fists on his palms and said excitedly, "In this way, the whole country will support His Majesty. People will flock to Changhe Town, and we will have the ability to confront the church head-on!"
The king was stunned at that time.
Listening to Benjamin's words, the surrounding soldiers, generals, old people, guards... also turned their heads at this moment, and all looked at the king, as if there was light in their eyes, as if they were expecting something.
At this time of crisis, as the people of Carites, what are they looking forward to
Soon, the king also came to his senses.
He turned his head and looked in the direction of Changhe Town.
"Carites, your king is back!" He seemed to have thought of something, suddenly became excited, laughed a few times, and shouted to the empty road under the night.
