Kingdom’s Bloodline Chapter 23: Game in the carriage
Never underestimate the courage of the Northlanders. `Le`wen` novels ``lwxiaoshuo`
This is what Putila told Thales six years ago, after a near-death game in the Palace of Valor, that the prince at that time took it seriously.
But at this moment, looking at King Chaman who was sitting still in the carriage, Thales discovered with horror: He still didn't understand the weight of this sentence.
King Chaman looked at him coldly, with a sense of scrutiny in his eyes.
Just like the first time they met six years ago.
In six years, Thales has imagined countless times: The terrifying new king stood at the highest point of Heisha City, staring at the direction of Longxiao City with a cold look, and slowly sent down to deal with the Prince of Stars. Dangerous order.
But even if Thales racked his brains and thought to himself, they couldn't imagine that they would meet again in six years.
"You..."
Tyles' eyes widened, unable to believe the facts before him: "Are you crazy?"
King Chaman didn't answer, his eyes were cold.
Thyls looked around subconsciously, looking around.
"Don't worry," King Chaman said in his cold and vicissitudes of life: "It's just me and you."
There is only a small window in the dark carriage, on which is gray unidirectional bituminous glass.
The Grand Duke’s guards headed by Justin, as well as the prince’s own guards, are still guarding the surroundings, firmly surrounding the black sand corps composed of more than a dozen soldiers.
Thyls stopped looking, he took a deep breath, forcing himself to calm down and run his brain.
What is the situation now?
Rumba, come to Dragon City in person?
Moreover, the most important thing is...
Tyles stared at King Chaman in front of him, unknowingly oozing cold sweat.
No one in Exeter knew that the ruler of the entire kingdom was hiding in secret, hiding in this small mission headed by Viscount Cambeda.
That means...
The prince swallowed and gritted his teeth: "Do you know what happened to the last Exeter who was overconfident and arrogant, left the heavy guards, and went deep into the dangerous place to lift the king together?"
Tyles passed the initial shock. He frowned and adjusted his tone to the most natural state:
"Give you a hint: his name begins with n."
King Chaman snorted softly, not discerning his emotions.
"Of course, I know him, I know him too well—I grew up listening to his story and looking up at his image to grow up. Unlike you, I only met him for a short day."
Thyls frowned slightly, thinking of the unforgettable old king.
"So I know that if he didn't do that back then, he would end up worse." The new king said lightly.
Tyles took a deep breath, knowing the threats from the other side, he was determined to stop talking nonsense and go straight to the subject.
"All I have to do now is to shout," Thales leaned back into the carriage and said calmly: "The famous Chaman I will evaporate from this world, like the snowmelt in early spring, with all traces Will not stay-neither Cambida nor Croash can save you."
He squinted his eyes and tried his best to observe the king's expression in the dim light: "And the Regent of Lisban will probably happily wipe away tears to inform the whole country: The black sand-collared mission has unfortunately encountered a robber on the way home." /
"Longxiaocheng deeply regrets this."
Slap!
The king's hand slapped tightly on the scabbard.
According to Nicolai, Wiya and others' fate over the past six years, Thales stared firmly at Rumba's shoulder, and at the same time moved his hand back to the thigh intentionally or unintentionally, close to the jc dagger at the waist.
In the small carriage, the long sword will only be a burden to the hands and feet, and...
Tyles glanced at the door of the car from the side of the light: the first time I threw out of the car, I won.
However, the scene he imagined did not happen after all.
King Chaman moved a step forward, his sharp and cold eyes looked at Thales directly, making him feel pressured.
"Indeed," the king slowly nodded, "If I die here without knowing it, no one knows, no accountability, no words, no consequences that cannot be dealt with-there is nothing more to the domestic princes It’s something more coveted."
King Chaman lightly tapped the old scabbard between his knees.
Boom, boom, boom.
"Longxiao City will probably be able to breathe a sigh of relief, the hatred that cannot be declared can be washed away, and the immediate threat will be lifted from now on."
"All the princes who participated in the election meeting, Ronnie, Lecco...can also be freed from the heavy shackles and burdens."
"The struggle between a certain deviant king and the princes has since come to an end, and Exeter, who has been disturbed for six years, returns to his old views."
Boom, boom, boom.
The king’s eye sockets shrunk slightly, as if he wanted to see Thales more clearly. He only listened to him slow down and said one sentence after another: "And that special star prince, no longer need to worry about his most dangerous enemy. Up."
Thyls's Adam's apple moved slightly, and the young prince looked at the enemy unwillingly.
The sound of King Chaman hitting the scabbard suddenly stopped.
His face suddenly became cold.
"But..."
Damn it.
I knew there was a "but".
Tyles snorted coldly in his heart, remembering that he often used this word to play tricks on a certain girl, splashing cold water on her when she was happiest, and making her leave angrily, could not help but think of "retribution unhappy "This sentence.
"If you do that, the wise prince may win this one, but he will eventually lose the entire game."
I saw His Majesty the King coldly said: "Even with you, the female grandfather who took you with you, has lost cleanly."
Tels paused slightly.
He gently squeezed his fist, puzzled.
What?
Myself, Grand Duke? Clean?
"Do you want to see the head of the Grand Duke pierced by a spear and erected on the wall of Longxiao City?"
Just listen to the king's indifferent saying: "Then just call for help and besiege me here-don't hesitate."
At that moment, the air in the carriage suddenly became thick and stagnant.
Tyles clenched his lower lip and took a hard breath.
"What do you mean, Rumba?"
The prince gritted his teeth: "What do you want?"
Thyls saw that the unsmiling King Chaman raised his mouth in rare cases.
"It seems that you have had a good time in Longxiao City for the past six years," King Chaman leaned back again, with a calm expression: "My people pay back every year: the grandma and the prince are very close. , Like a lover."
Tyles frowned in pain, unable to refute.
"But me?"
"In the past six years, I, as the King of Exeter, I, like a fisherman fishing on the ice, trembled at every step." King Chaman looked out of the carriage with emotion. : "While thinking about how to catch those hateful fish schools to feed their stomachs, while trying to prevent themselves from becoming food for them in the water."
"At the moment, you are doing pretty well," Thales answered dissatisfiedly: "Otherwise, when the whole country denounces you, there will be leisure to come to Longxiao City to talk to me about the past, by the way ——The Freedom League’s hand played well, and with an imminent war, both Qiyuan City and Longxiao City were pitted."
King Chaman chuckled and snorted again.
"That's just the appearance, Thales, you know it better than anyone else." The king acquiesced to Thales' identification, and only listened to him calmly: "Six years, the ideal Exeter, but he is not I am getting farther and farther."
The Star Prince was slightly startled.
Selma.
Thyls grasped the point keenly: Why did he mention Selma?
"Thyls."
"You got this'errand' for me six years ago." The king raised his right hand and pointed at his temples, on which was a circle of shallow marks hooped by the crown: "It's not a good job. ."
"Almost all the princes regarded me as an enemy. The four people back then need not say anything. The three who failed to come to the election meeting also complained a lot."
"All the laws I tried to implement were difficult, even in the black sand collar."
"Ronnie and Lecco ran around and called out, jointly denouncing the king's injustice."
"My vassals are full of grievances and are ready to move."
King Chaman sighed softly.
"'Knife Killer'," the king lowered his head slightly, looking at his saber: "This is the nickname they gave me, and even the most vulgar civilians are laughing about this title-even my decrees It can increase their harvest by 30%, even if my orders can prevent them from being exploited by tax collectors and oppression by lords, even if everything I do is to enable these humble and small people to gain their own future, but... …"
The king said nothing, he stroked his sword lightly, his eyes getting colder.
"They are still against me."
"Maybe one day, my authority hidden in the crown will be swept away, and the decree issued will become waste paper, and I will die without food in the besieged isolated city? I don't know. "
Thyls sighed.
"That's because you are trying to use new standards to seal the nobility, change the status quo of power distribution, and change the future of everyone."
"You are trying to make a group of people who are used to the present and the past believe that a strange future will be better, and make another group of people give up everything they are enjoying."
"Even when the financial resources are the most abundant, the food is the most abundant, and the conditions are the most mature, for most people, this is hard to imagine," the prince shook his head:
"And you want to use six years to complete what Mindis III has not done for more than 100 years?"
Thyls raised his head and looked seriously at the former Rumba and now His Majesty Chaman: "This is the price."
There was silence in the carriage.
King Chaman fixed his eyes on him.
The two stared at each other for five full seconds, until the king slowly laughed.
"Look, I knew it was right to come to you, you are one of the few people who understand me," King Chaman's smile was cold and unconsciously nervous, which made Thales realize. Because of the new title, the majesty of the Duke Heisha is also increasing day by day:
"Not everyone can participate in this kind of conversation, even someone as smart as Elhasa."
Thyls sneered and shook his head.
"Rumba."
"Before I call the people outside impatiently, save the nonsense," the prince's tone hardened:
"Why come to me?"
"What do the words just now mean? What do you mean by "losing the whole game"?"
King Chaman didn't answer immediately, his increasingly vicissitudes of life showed banter and sarcasm.
"Guess what, Thales," the king said plainly: "Just like before, aren't you the best at this?"
Looking at the king coming here prepared and calmly, Thales, who became more irritable, tried to convince himself not to be impulsive.
Damn it.
What makes him so bold? What made him rely so much?
No.
No matter what he wants...
"It is obvious that the Freedom League is not enough to pull away the hind legs of Qiyuan City and Longxiao City," Thales leaned on the leather backrest, thoughtfully: "In order to save yourself from the predicament that Qianfu pointed out To rescue it, you have to add a fire-so you want to start from Longxiao City."
"I guess-the grandfather's marriage? Do you want to use her to get the most threatening Longxiao City into an internal fight?"
Tyles raised his head coldly: "Once outside solidarity is lost, the king can easily extinguish the grievances and dissatisfaction of the vassals in the Black Sands, allowing your laws to flow unimpeded."
King Chaman's expression remained unchanged and he was noncommittal.
"Speaking of Grand Duke Walton, I have a question." Unexpectedly, the king pushed the sabre on his knee aside, freeing his hands.
Chaman Rumba touched his elbows to his knees, looked at ease, and asked unguardedly: "Back then, how did Nunn turn you into his ally and let you stand willingly on the side of Dragon City What about?"
Thyls shook his head unceremoniously: "He didn't turn me into an ally. You forced me to stand on the side of Longxiao City, remember? Someone wants to blame the Prince of Stars and accomplish his great cause of founding a nation , But ended up with the consequences?"
As soon as this remark came out, Thales was satisfied to see that King Chaman's face that seemed to be leisurely became much ugly.
"I guess: he gave you a promise."
The king ignored his ridicule, but Thales felt that Rumba’s tone became more and more cold:
"The marriage contract, is it?"
Thyls took a breath.
"I know that when the blood is severed, Nunn must promise: marry his granddaughter to you in exchange for the protection of the future king of the stars?"
Tyles clenched his fists unconsciously again.
"That's why you care about the grandfather's marriage so much?"
The speed of King Chaman's speech became more and more rushed, and the pressure on people gradually increased: "You think she is your fiancée, what is in your bag, and the important thing for the Stars to control Exeter Chess piece?"
"However, she is now facing..."
Thyls squeezed his fist and chuckled.
"I admire your imagination, Rumba," the prince sneered and shook his head: "Do you really think that an heir to the throne of the Star Kingdom can marry the Grand Duke of Exeter's Dragon City?"
The king curled his mouth: "If King Nunn is still alive, maybe."
Just listen to King Chaman I whispered: "But my uncle still made a good deal, even after his accidental death—a gift from the ancestor in exchange for an unexpected return: under the light of stars , Dragon Spear survived unpredictable rapids and storms."
"You did your best to break the convention and support her to sit on the throne of the Grand Duke. In the past six years, you and Lisban and others have done everything possible to help her stand firm in the disaster of the death of Nunn. , To maintain the stability of Longxiao City."
In the carriage, the king leaned forward slowly, staring at the heir of the stars.
"Even if you know the girl sitting on the throne of the Grand Duke," he only heard him speak word by word, biting the shocking accent:
"Not the real Walton bloodline at all."
At that moment, Thales's muscles all tightened!
He got it.
He got it!
There has never been a moment, Thales, who has always been good at thinking and calmly dealing with things, has never wanted to turn his face immediately and solve problems with violence as he does now.
The image of the little slippery head who was sobbing helplessly appeared in Thales' mind.
He touched his dagger unconsciously.
Chaman Rumba.
Kill him.
Kill him!
Now.
Take this secret forever...
The prince took a deep breath, and the crime of the prison river poured out of his body, but not to the limbs, but to the brain.
The last remaining trace of reason, under the influence of the crime of the river of prison, returned to Thales's heart, like a traveler on the cliff, telling him hoarsely: calm down.
The enemy comes prepared.
King Chaman sighed.
"You know, Ms. Kashan told me a lot," the king shook his head: "For example, the direct blood of the Walton family has been extinct."
"Once her identity is revealed," he said lightly: "What will be waiting for her?"
"Think about it," Chaman's words seemed like a deadly poison, spreading in Thales's heart: "In front of the spokesperson of the God of Bright Moon, under the effect of the co-curator oath, imposter the dragon. Grand Duke Xiaocheng, deceived the entire Exeter..."
Thyls raised his head slowly.
The prince swallowed softly.
But he is far from being as calm as he seems.
This is Selma’s biggest weakness...
Also...
So, this is the purpose of Charman Rumba.
With this secret, come to me?
Damn it.
Damn it!
What to do.
What to do?
Tyles' heartbeat became faster and faster, almost uncontrollable.
King Chaman watched the reaction of Prince Star with interest.
But he was disappointed. Although the prince was more silent than usual, his face remained as usual.
It seems that what has just been said from the king's mouth is not a major event that can shock the entire Exeter.
The next second, Thales closed his eyes and took a deep breath.
"You have been complaining about your current situation just now, but it reminds me of a very interesting thing, Your Majesty."
The king squinted his eyes and watched the second prince open his eyes strangely, in the most calm and calm tone of voice, nonchalantly authentic:
"Back then, at the six-person selection meeting, you were selected as the next king."
"So," Thales shrugged easily and said: "If one of the grand dukes' votes turns out to be invalid..."
"If she is not eligible to participate in the selection of the king..."
King Chaman's face changed.
"Then you got the throne by one vote," the prince said lightly, releasing his counterattack:
"Is it still legal, reasonable and qualified?"
"Through that king election, he has ruled Exeter for six full years-Your Majesty Chaman?"
In the next second, King Chaman clenched his fist as if he had been hit at the vital point.
His eyes changed back to the coldness and ferocity that Thales was familiar with.
Like the Grand Duke of Lombard back then.
There was a suffocating silence in the carriage again.
Until one party broke it.
"Hahahaha..."
The corner of the king's mouth curled up and he laughed loudly.
"So, you confirmed," King Chaman tapped his knee lightly, looking at Thales in his eyes, like he was looking at a bird that cannot escape a hunting net:
"Is this true?"
Rumba said coldly: "So, the girl sitting in the Palace of Valor is not the real Walton bloodline."
"Right?"
At that moment, Thales changed his face suddenly!
The prince could no longer conceal his emotions, he grabbed the clothes on his thighs and gritted his teeth.
No way.
That means...
Damn it.
Damn it!
"Red Witch..." Thales said with difficulty:
"The Red Witch didn't tell you anything?"
That means ~IndoMTL.com~ Rumba was just in...
Looking at the prince's reaction, King Chaman, who was holding the winning ticket, sneered.
"About the identity of the new Grand Duke of Longxiao City?"
"No," the king took the saber back to his knees again, spoke decisively with a cold voice, knocking Thales down the abyss: "No word."
Rumba's eye sockets shrank slightly, and the light revealed from it was extremely dangerous: "Until you just told me this."
"Thyls."
He cocked his mouth: "My friend,"
In that second, Thales' heart was cold from the inside out.
