Power and Empire Chapter 427: Wang Ting Night Banquet (1)
427 Wangting Night Banquet (1)
I heard the clutter of footsteps and breathing outside the door gradually fade away,
The fat man let go of Ceris's hand, and his face solemnly whispered, "You kill the person outside, only revealing your position. No matter how powerful you are, you will definitely not be able to dodge more than a dozen strong bows. ,
The most important thing is to find out who sent it and whether there are other accomplices in the mansion.
Otherwise,
You will only attract more eyes looking at you from behind""
How do you know that there are people out there?" Celice said angrily. "Maybe it's just your side words. Despicable means like you will only make me look down on you even more."
"Believe it or not" the fat man smiled bitterly, feeling like he was a good person for a while
"If you are a person, you must have footprints. It is off the beaten track here. We only need to see if there are dazzling fresh footprints outside the door."
"I hope what you said is right, otherwise..." Cerise stood up quickly, looked away in a hurry, came over for a while, and returned again, looking very embarrassed
Scyris apologized, "It seems that I blamed you. I just checked it out. At the hidden location against the wall outside the door, I found a row of messy footprints with at least 10 people.
If we went out from the door just now, we would definitely be shot dead by random arrows lurking at an oblique angle without any precautions."
"Just know that I didn't lie to you," the fat man said with a solemn expression. "I just want to know who is putting you and me to death. The other party has a good grasp of time and intelligence,
From the perspective of the opponent’s manning arrangement and shooting lurking location, they are very familiar with the environment of the mansion,
Otherwise, it is impossible to mobilize so many people unconsciously,
"This mansion was bestowed on me by the royal court. The guards and defense missions are all from the royal court." Upon hearing the fat man's question, Ceres gritted her teeth.
"If this matter has nothing to do with Wang Ting, then children can't be fooled.
I am a majestic princess, but I am not as good as a prisoner,
At least they don’t have to worry that they might be shot into a pile of minced meat at any time. "After saying this, Cerise’s face showed a sorrow, her life experience has always been the knot in her heart,
As the biological daughter of Queen Aichamore, a descendant of the prominent golden family,
Sceris, who is only 3 years old, is attached to too many people’s expectations.
The fall of Aichamore, the whereabouts of his mother is unknown, and the glorious dynasty instantly fell apart,
Sceris, who was still ignorant, came to the new city of Turga with the remnants of the royal court who was hesitating northward,
The guardian of the royal court at the time, the brother of Queen Aichemore,
When people of all ethnic groups were in panic and urgently needed a leader, they inherited the throne of Aichemore as the guardian of the Aichemoai court,
According to the tribal regulations, he became the husband of Queen Aichamore in name,
For this reason, General Larentu, the main leader of the eastern part who had returned with his army, walked away angrily, creating the era of the two courts of Kujit.
Fatty and Cerris came out of the warehouse,
Thinking of the ambiguous behavior between herself and the fat man just now, Ceres has a blush on her face,
"Thank you, you saved me again." Celice said in a low voice, ashamed that she had blamed the fat man just now. "
It’s okay, I just hope the princess can understand that you and I are not enemies of life and death." The fat man smiled and shrugged his shoulders upwards,
Look up and look at the gradually slanting path of the sun in the sky." In a few hours, the sky will darken. I hope the princess will not forget to promise me,
I need to go back to rest now, otherwise I’m afraid it’s hard to have enough energy to complete the princess’s mission."
After speaking, the fat man stepped out of the half-closed door without looking back.
Sceris opened her mouth, and finally she didn't speak. There was a trace of water vapor in her eyes staring at the fat man's back.
The encounter just now made the fat man feel confused,
The royal court arranged for someone to assassinate Scelis. This is totally unimaginable, but it actually happened.
As Celis said, being able to arrange manpower in this mansion so easily, and just after entering the warehouse, this time and opportunity are too coincidental,
Now think about it carefully, the loose defenses along the way and the remote and unmanned environment seem to have been arranged long ago
If you and the princess are shot to death in the warehouse at the same time,
My subordinates in the other courtyard should be killed immediately by being accused of assassin.
It is the victor’s patent to plant arrogance, murder and kill.
The other party is so hot and old that the fat man also feels cold behind his back.
"What is all this for?" The fat man walked in the quiet corridor in confusion,
Only the sound of my own footsteps is all around, and there is a warm breath in the air, which makes the fat man feel oppressed and unable to breathe.
The fat man felt like he was being pushed by a pair of invisible hands, gradually approaching the center of a mystery,
The final solver of this mystery may be in the abandoned palace at the top of Yunzhong City.
The danger of the road once made Fatty want to give up, but thinking about the future of his subordinates and Vicia, Fatty still decided to make a break.
Anyway, this is the only chance to leave Cloud City,
Even if this is the most dangerous way,
"En?" The fat man walked into his courtyard, and he found that the number of Kujit soldiers who had been withdrawn had been added a lot,
It seems that the conspiracy eyes in the mansion are not only staring at Cerise, but also at herself,
"Look at it, everything will end tonight." The fat man snorted, pushed open the door of his room, and then closed it, completely shutting off the outside view.
In the evening, bonfires were lit outside the city of Turga, dyeing the sky of Caixia red.
Today is the Jubilee in Kujit. In Vikia and other countries, it is equivalent to the coming-of-age ceremony among young people.
On this day, no matter how shy the Kujit girl is, she will try her best to show her dress up.
Even people who are destitute and desperate will take a sapling from the side of the road and wear it on their chest.
Because of the perennial war, Kujit has a serious imbalance between men and women.
Every year after the Prairie Laren Warriors Competition is held in the King's Court, we will take the opportunity to hold this "coming-of-age ceremony" meaning of the July Shavuot,
It means that the people of the grassland will always be prosperous,
There is also joy in Yunzhong City. All streets and city squares are covered with brightly colored felts.
There is the venue for the celebration ceremony, and the streets are full of people,
Even on the roof, there are people singing and laughing.
The joyous music played on the grassland copper flute reverberates in the fat man’s ears, and from time to time, girls dressed in costumes shuttle through the crowd like butterflies,
They are like colorful flowers in full bloom on the grassland, and the whole Yunzhong City dotted with spring is full of scenery.
Sometimes there are boys and girls chasing and fighting each other,
What makes it difficult for the fat man to understand is that most of the boys and girls who are chasing are about the same age as their own.
Another scene is the garlands thrown at random on the street. The people throwing the garlands, the affectionate gaze makes the fat man feel vigilant in his heart,
On the contrary, they are older and seem a lot more stable, but watching them mostly follow their wives behind them, the fat guy seems to be able to understand them
"Today is the most valued July Shavuot by the people of the prairie", Cerriss, dressed in costume, has her black eyebrows slightly raised and her long hair casually draped over her shoulders.
The silver gauze skirt wraps the shoulders, changing from the heroic posture when wearing the chain armor in the past,
Instead, there is a noble elegance that makes people feel ugly,
Scyris looked at the puzzled look of the fat man, and whispered beside the fat man, "This day boys and girls can choose the person they like the most,
If the girl agrees, she will give the horse whip she has woven to the boy she likes,
And the boy who is the pillar of the future tribe must have more rights than the girl. Even if the girl doesn’t like herself, she can rush to hug herself, while the girl can only avoid but not resist.
But when the boy hugs him, he can't escape the painful punishment.
In addition to the level of punishment for their wanton and reckless behavior, it is also related to the girl’s likes and dislikes of the boy. The corners of Cerise’s mouth chuckled and suddenly stopped,
I seem to remember something, my white face is stained with a crimson color
"This method is also special. I don't know if there is an age limit." The fat man hasn't noticed the strangeness of Cerise. At this moment, he is staring at an oncoming aristocratic girl in gorgeous clothes. The protruding white and turbulent waves made the fat man swallow hard
Fatty has always liked the customs of various places, and his curiosity naturally values these "special" places.
Serice looked at the fat man staring at the girl’s breasts, and she gave the fat man an annoyed look.
The little courage of this fat man really makes no secret of it,
Sisai Lisi Yutooth bit her lip and said, "In fact, there are no strict rules. This is the most direct way for a prairie boy to understand a girl’s body structure.
But older boys usually have their own wives, and playing this game will make others laugh,
On the grassland, men who make people laugh will not be respected, and naturally they will not be welcomed."
The fat man pretended not to hear the meaning of Celice, secretly peeking at the soft white jade arm of a nearby Krugit girl,
Looking at the erratic hue of the fat man, Cerise was helpless,
The closer you go to the edge of the city, the busier the scene will become,
When he stood on the battlements of the city gate, he was completely stunned by the sight in front of him. On the vast grassland, there were densely packed people and bonfires like stars in the sky.
Slices of white tents spread all the way to the end of the world,
In the temporarily erected tent fence, various competitions and large-scale collective dances are being held. In those competitions,
Some are known to the fat man, and some make the fat man feel weird,
"What's going on?" The fat man looked at the target of this trip, the empty gate of Turga with no guards on guard, turned his head and asked depressed,
"What's the matter? Is there any problem?" Celice's beautiful face has an intoxicating smile,
Looking at Fatty’s extremely depressed face, I felt as refreshed as if I had drunk a glass of ice water. The jealousy and depression just now have been thrown out of the clouds.
The fat man looked at the smile at the corner of Celice’s mouth, knowing that he was fooled by this woman again,
Yes, this is definitely a deception. It is so easy to escape from the princess mansion in such a grand festival,
But I thought I was taking advantage of it, so I promised this woman to find someone in the dangerous royal court
"I kept my promise, my lord" Cerisi had a sly smile on her conspired face, pointing to the gate of the city not far away without a guard
"Your subordinates can safely leave our prairie people. The guards who value promises have all gone to the festival,
Except for the royal court in the entire city tonight, no guards will come out to interfere with the carnival crowd,
Whether it is nobles or common people, tonight are equal,
The whole city will be spent in joy, and all this will continue throughout the night, until the first sunlight before dawn tomorrow, shines on the gate of the city"
"This woman..." The fat man was very depressed and speechless, feeling that behind Celice's holy and elegant clothes, there must be a fluffy fox tail wagging,
The fat man sighed helplessly, and waved to the guard behind him and the carriage carrying Mamo Allen and his daughter, "You guys will get out of town right away
Remember, don’t go back along the southern grassland, it has been blocked by the Swadian army,
You can follow the western trade road to bypass the Sadhu Acropolis and Aichamore, and meet me at the border city of Vela"
"My lord, take care." The guard captain Rofas stopped in front of the fat horse with an excited expression on his face and paid a military salute. When he passed by the wrong horse,
Whisper softly in the ear of the fat man, "The Grand Duke's subordinate has arranged 10 longbow guards to meet the adults in the hills of Alu Tulai, ten miles outside the city."
Looking at the guards and the carriage disappearing into the distant crowd, the fat man turned around with infinite regret,
The sunset on the horizon is picturesque. Fatty didn't return to the princess mansion, but watched various games on the grassland outside the city.
Scyris didn’t speak either, maybe she felt that she had cheated the fat man with a trace of guilt, and she followed the fat man silently,
The affectionate look at the back of the fat man is like a typical Khergit woman following her husband. A dozen Khergit guards dressed in civilian clothes are guarding nearby.
Most of those games are related to horses,
The fat man knew the place of the horse in the hearts of the Kujites, even surpassing their legs,
The girls shouting for cheering and showing up, seem to have ignited the enthusiasm of the entire grassland,
The rapid sound of horseshoes resounded across the grassland, and each one looked enthusiastic,
The black spots whizzing past like a cluster of swift arrows, passing by the fat man, in the row of fences at the end of the road, new players are doing warm-up exercises,
In addition to riding horses, archery is also an indispensable existence for Kujites,
Because of this, in many horse racing competitions, riding and shooting are very important~ IndoMTL.com~ For Kujit shooters who grew up on horseback,
Shooting arrows on a hurried horse is as ordinary as breathing in normal days. Those fixed targets in the distance are just children’s play targets,
A qualified Kujit archer needs to be able to shoot a bow and arrows on a Mercedes-Benz horse at least 50 meters away to be considered a man’s sweaty style.
"Beng Beng Beng" The crisp bowstring sounds like the sound of raindrops falling on the ground, mixed with the howling of arrows tearing the air,
The performance of these shooters can be seen from the loud cheers and scattered ridicules,
The fat man has no say in Kugit’s long and superb riding and shooting skills, and even blushes when he thinks of his embarrassing archery skills.
Fatty once saw a thirteen-year-old Kujit girl with a toy bow in her hand, hitting a wind chime fifty meters away from the tent,
And the arrowhead is firmly inserted on the top of the tent protrusion
