Chapter 160: Before Dawn
In the Lord's Mansion, Lord Arirad. Ulihan, sitting at the door with a numb face, looking at the night outside in a daze, holding a moonlight glass that was a specialty of the Rus Empire in his hand, but it was indeed their Baila's black spirit!
Since the afternoon, after learning that Batu's Red Lotus Cavalry Guards had been wiped out, he had been sitting here depressed like this, and he had been sitting for most of the day. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
After a while, in the Lord's Garden, the Lord's Wife, the former second princess of the Rus' Empire, Mina. Tyrell, dressed in a long light blue dress, walked slowly from the garden.
Ullihan looked at this lady who made her infatuated with a blur of eyes, her pale yellow hair that was thinner and softer than silk was scattered over her shoulders in the moonlight, a pair of eyes seemed to be the blue of delicate cornflowers, and her eyes were cold and a little noble, which gave people a feeling of unattainable in combination with her innate royal temperament!
This kind of temperament, even after many years of marriage, Ulhan is still deeply addicted to it, and even willingly lets a woman be the master of many things, which is very rare in the environment of the royal court of Bara, especially in the aristocratic circle!
Mina looked at his lost husband like a defeated dog, a hint of complexity flashed in her eyes, to be honest, she didn't hate him, as a political victim of kindness, her luck was already good, to meet such a gentle husband. You must know that most of the men of the Bara Dynasty are violent in temperament, but they are not as gentlemanly as the nobles of the Rus Empire, and the status of women is far inferior to their own country.
But she was fortunate to meet a husband who was so infatuated with her, and willing to tolerate her willfulness, who was as good as his name, and who meant the light of warmth, a man who was indeed as gentle and considerate as the morning sun, and who could be said to be a perfect lover.
But definitely not a man who can be relied on, Mina's expression became slightly gloomy, and she said coldly: "Are you going to stay drunk like this, and then wait for the soldiers who break through the city to cut off your head to receive merit?" ”
"What else can I do, ma'am?" Faced with his wife's angry questioning, Wu Lihan smiled miserably: "You persuaded me not to give up the city at the beginning, but now that the four city gates have been surrounded, what else do you think I can do?" ”
"You ......" Mina bit her lip, her face was a little annoyed, this proposal was indeed made by her, she overestimated her status too much, or her knowledge was too shallow, thinking that her father's favor for her was the relationship between her fourth brother and herself, and the proposal for peace should not be a big problem, but she didn't want to think about it, if her status was really so high, how could she be sent to the enemy country as a peace object?
Now that she is embattled, there is indeed no way out, and it is not wrong to say that all this is her fault, but in her thoughts, how can a responsible man blame a woman for everything afterwards?
People are actually very contradictory sometimes, at the beginning she hoped that her husband would obey her, accommodate her, and even obey her, but when she got out of the basket, she blamed her husband for not being assertive and responsible, which is actually what most people think, after all, people rarely admit that everything is their own fault.
A mocking sneer appeared on Mina's delicate face: "Even if I let you escape early, will you survive?" After a pause, she said coldly: "Bara's first law: the lord must not abandon his territory is the first iron law of the empire, and anyone who violates it will be stripped of his title and sentenced to death!" ”
"No......" The other party suddenly stood up excitedly: "My father loves me so much, even if I abandon this city, I will not be sentenced to death!" ”
"Really?" The sarcasm on Mina's face was even heavier: "I think so too, I don't think my father and emperor who love me and respect my brother will not treat me like this, and the result?" Then he paused and continued: "And, have you forgotten? Your father, who loved you, has died violently, do you think that if you go back at this juncture, who can protect you? ”
"I ......" Ullihan was speechless, and then sat on the ground weakly, looking lonely, Mina saw it in her eyes, and a deep disappointment flashed in her heart, she finally understood why her sisters were keen to marry a strong man, because at a critical moment, only the strong can make you feel at ease, and even if the weak person is good to you, what is the use?
"Your Highness!" There was a maid's inquiry in the distance, and most of the shrewd knights in the palace had already fled, because they knew that this was a more dangerous place after the city was broken, but some uninformed maids didn't think so, they thought that the lady of the lord's mansion was Her Royal Highness the princess of the Rus Empire, and this should be the safest place, so even now, these maids still behaved respectfully!
"What's wrong?" It was Mina who replied, although the next person called His Royal Highness the lord, in fact, he only gave him some face, most of the cases are the lady's decision, and the current situation is even more so, everyone's hope for life is placed on the lady, and naturally they are all towards the lady.
"Lord Unqi asks to see you!"
Mina frowned when she heard this, and said secretly: "He doesn't set up defenses in the city at this time, what are you doing here at this time?" Is the city broken? Thinking of this, her face showed a little panic, and after taking a deep breath, she nodded, "Call him in." ”
After a while, Wu Enqi walked in with Guo Lang and a few people, and after seeing Mina, Wu Enqi solemnly performed a standard knightly etiquette: "I have seen Her Royal Highness the Princess!" ”
That's what he called Mina for so many years, and that's what Mina acquiesced to.
"Is the city broken?" Mina anxiously asked the first question.
Wu Enqi shook his head: "Not yet, but at most, it will be only a few hours later, the city will be broken after dawn, and those noble warriors on the wall have already quietly evacuated by taking advantage of the night, and now they are not willing to waste their troops to defend the city, but hope to gather strength, and when the time comes, they will take advantage of the chaos to break out and seek a trace of life!" ”
"What about you?" Mina raised her eyebrows: "Are you leaving the city wall without permission now to seek a glimmer of life?" ”
Hearing this, Wu Enqi half-knelt and saluted: "I will not leave Her Royal Highness the Princess, even if it is death, they must step over my corpse first!" ”
"Chris......" Mina was shocked when she heard this, and called out the name of Unqi's former Rus Empire with a complicated face, and after a long time, she sighed and nodded: "I have a heart!" ”
Then she began to notice the group of people behind Une, and asked with some curiosity, "Who are they?" ”
Guo Lang, who was playing soy sauce on the side, saw that the main owner finally noticed him, so he strolled forward, bent down and said with standard dark night etiquette: "Dark night clan, July. Shadow Whisperer, I've seen Your Highness! ”
"Uh......" Mina was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly bowed in return, she didn't even dare to use her royal etiquette, the other party's posture was so elegant, which was unheard of by Mina, who had learned various etiquettes since childhood, and felt that her royal etiquette now seemed a little childish and ridiculous.
"What do you do, sir?" Through the etiquette just now, where can Mina not react, this young man is definitely not Wu Enqi's subordinate, he must be the person he introduced, come here at this time...... A thought flashed through Mina's mind, could it be......
"Those who are in distress have come to seek refuge!" Guo Lang smiled slightly.
Wu Enqi on the side pouted when he heard this, doesn't this guy need to change his lines?
"Mr. said with a smile, this palace is now a pile of dry bones in the family, waiting for the existence of death, how to shelter you, sir?"
This line? Wu Enqi was stunned for a moment, why did it sound so familiar?
Guo Lang didn't continue to detour around the corner, but said directly: "Your Royal Highness Princess, you have always been of royal blood, with your status and status, His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince at least didn't dare to directly order the soldiers to attack you, right?" ”
"No, it won't." The other party was stunned for a moment and frowned: "But it will not provide protection clearly, that is to say, if I die in a rebellion or assassination after the city is broken, then he will have a reason to say it!" ”
"That means he can't do anything to you as long as you don't die in an assassination or an initial rebellion, right?"
Mina's eyes lit up when she heard this, and the slightest thought in her heart became stronger and stronger, and she nodded and agreed: "Yes, now that the crown prince has not been decided, all forces are intriguing, although my fourth brother has made great contributions this time, if he is criticized for personally ordering the shooting of his own sister, it will undoubtedly be a great political stain, I believe he will not be so stupid!" Then she paused for a moment and said eagerly: "Sir, you mean that you can protect me from the initial rebellion?" ”
Guo Lang didn't continue to avoid anything, nodded and said bluntly: "Ah, that's what I mean!" ”
Mina, including Ullihan behind her, all showed a look of ecstasy, Mina took a deep breath to calm down, and still asked with some excitement: "Then sir, how many people did you bring here this time?" According to her idea, if you want to stop the bold attack of those thugs in the rebellion, you need at least more than three hundred elite knights, when did St. Landburg have such a powerful force?
Guo Lang smiled when he heard this, while Wu Enqi on his side was a little embarrassed, and this atmosphere made Mina flash a trace of unease..... Sure enough, the next moment she saw the man in front of her spread his hands: "As you can see, there are only five of us in total!" ”
These words made Mina and her husband like a basin of cold water, and at this time, they could say that there were 10,000 XX divine beasts rushing in their hearts.
If she could speak rudely, Mina would like to say, "Are you kidding me?" ”
