The Face Changing Warrior

After listening to Nicole's words, Roddy was silent. At this time, he is no longer the ignorant boy at the beginning. In these days, he has not only increased his military strength, but with the education of those scholars and reading books at home every day, his vision and mind are no longer the ignorance of the day. juvenile.

Roddy certainly knows what kind of situation the Empire is currently facing after facing such a violent foreign war.

Most of the Northwest Legion was injured, which meant that a Legion had been maimed. And the next thing is that the entire territory of the northwest of the empire is exposed to the soldiers of the Great Moon Kingdom! Although the empire's overall army strength is far stronger than that of the Great Moon Kingdom, it is not possible to mobilize the Northern Corps and Southern Corps in three days and five days. At this moment, the prince of the Great Moon Kingdom came to the imperial capital to serve as envoys. There are nothing more than two possibilities:

The first possibility: declare war! But this possibility is unlikely. Because after all, the overall strength of the Great Moon Kingdom, it is impossible to fight a full-scale war between nations with the empire. And even if war is declared, there is no need to send a prince, just send an envoy. Otherwise, once war is declared, the envoy who was sent is likely to be killed by the emperor in anger.

The second possibility: peace! Roddy thought in his heart that this possibility was relatively high. After all, the current empire is the defeated side, and the situation in the northwest is very dangerous. Whether it is really tolerant and willing to suffer humiliation, or a slowing strategy used to build up its forces, the empire needs to buy time to take a breather.

If the Prince Songtsan really came to negotiate a peace, then the conflict between these people in the Ecstasy Cave really caused a catastrophe. Rondo'er, who was seriously injured by himself, was probably a general under Prince Songtsan. This conflict can be regarded as a serious matter of diplomacy-even if Rondo's wounded by himself is just a small guard, if the Prince Songzan deliberately wants to make the matter big, take this matter Come to play rogues, deliberately make things difficult during the negotiation and negotiation, and the lion speaks loudly, it will also make the empire very headache-after all, in his own imperial capital, it is impossible to justify the use of other people's envoys.

Both fell silent, speechless all the way, and returned to the mansion under the **** of the guards.

As soon as the carriage arrived at the door of the house, I saw from a distance there were more than 20 white horses at the door of the Tulip family, and more than 20 knights stood waiting on both sides. Each of these knights is burly, wearing golden armor, with a special golden sheath long sword at the waist, and a long red tassel in each person's helmet.

Nicole saw at a glance that these were the Royal Guards in the palace, and she was even more surprised.

As soon as Roddy and Nicole got off their horses, a middle-aged knight headed by them strode forward and gave a respectful salute, and then slowly said: "The humble position is Gordon, the deputy commander of the Royal Guards, Your Majesty Summon Set, the first-class warrior of the Tulip family, please let me go."

Roddy immediately exchanged glances with Nicole when he heard the words, and both thoughts flashed through their hearts at the same time: Come here so fast!

Nicole didn't change his face, but said lightly: "Okay! Let my brother go in and change his clothes first, and then I will follow you to see His Majesty the Emperor."

Deputy Commander Gordon did not dare to object, but nodded and said in a low voice: "Yes, then we will wait here."

Nicole took Roddy into the house, drove straight to the servant, and personally helped Roddy change clothes. The uniform of the imperial student he had on his body was replaced. Because Set himself had not yet received the succession of the title, he did not have the uniform of the emperor. He could only put on a special samurai uniform made by the nobility. There is a lot of attention to decoration, the most prominent is the family crest on the chest.

Nicole's face was not very good, and she asked in a low voice, "How are you now? If it doesn't work, I can ask them to go back first and say that you were injured in the fight with the people from the Great Moon Kingdom and cannot go temporarily. In this case, your Majesty the Emperor Nor can you force you to go right away."

Roddy shook his head and said with a serious face: "No way, Nicole. Just when I was picked up by you, the guards were waiting at home, indicating that the emperor knows the situation well, and maybe he knows whether I was injured or not. Besides, Gordon had already seen me just now, and the reason for the injury could not be concealed."

Nicole sighed and couldn't help but glanced at Roddy, and said, "Unexpectedly, your mind is quite clear. It's just so fast...We haven't figured out how to deal with it yet."

Roddy nodded: "There is no time, I will try my best, Nicole... I'm just worried, will the emperor see that my identity is false?"

Nicole tilted her head to think carefully for a while, and said: "It shouldn't be. His Majesty the Emperor hasn't seen Seth how many times. There shouldn't be any problems. As for the etiquette, I have taught you. It won't be too big. Loophole. It’s just that I’m a little worried..."

"what?"

Nicole sighed, "I'm afraid that His Majesty the Emperor hates my brother very much."

"Why?" Roddy frowned.

Nicole showed a weird look on her face: "Because Jojo!" Without waiting for Roddy to speak, Nicole continued to explain: "I didn't know the relationship between my brother and Jojo, but I don't think this kind of thing is hidden. His Majesty the Emperor...Do you know? His Majesty the Emperor has always liked Jojo. Jojo has been in the emperor for so long. Although she is the queen’s sister, the Emperor has never named her a princess. The title, I’m afraid it’s because of what I have been thinking about Jojo..."

Roddy smiled bitterly: "Then if the emperor knew about the relationship between Set and Jojo, wouldn't he hate me to death?"

Nicole shook her head and smiled bitterly: "This is also a problem that I have always worried about. But if you want to come to this kind of liu rhyme, His Majesty will not open it up and say it publicly. The most important thing today is to resolve the dispute with the envoy of the Great Moon Kingdom. ...In short, no matter what punishment your Majesty has, you can bear it a little bit."

Roddy smiled coldly: "Otherwise, what else? Put the blame on Bayan? He is the emperor's nephew!"

Nicole sighed, did not say anything, just concentrated on helping Roddy get dressed. Roddy didn't say anything anymore, because he knew it was useless to say anything at this time, so he could only take one step and count one step.

Before leaving, Roddy thought for a while, and ordered the servant to go to his room and take the "light-focusing sword" hanging on the wall. Although I don't know how to use that sword, I always feel a little settled in my body. Although he can move at this moment, the fight just now has exhausted all his energy, especially the last sword, which almost made him collapse. Although he is a little better now, I am afraid that he will be in a short time. It's not enough to do it, and with a sword, it is also to defend yourself and strengthen yourself.

Nicole sent Roddy out of the gate and got into the carriage. According to her idea, she originally wanted to go with Roddy, but the Gordon leader refused her request.

"His Majesty only said to see Master Set, Miss Nicole, you should stay at home." Ge Dun said indifferently. Seeing a look of fear on Nicole’s face, Gordon felt soft, walked into Nicole for two steps, and whispered in a low voice: “Miss Nicole, don’t worry. When the Emperor ordered me to come, I already knew what happened today. , But it seems that Your Majesty is in a good mood, he doesn't seem to be too angry. There will be nothing wrong with Master Seth."

Nicole was stunned for a moment and looked at Gordon in surprise, unable to think of why Gordon was so towards herself.

Gordon looked solemn, nodded to Nicole secretly, lowered his voice and said: "The humble post originally belonged to the Central Cavalry Regiment. By all accounts, he used to belong to the Old Duke."

Nicole felt a little settled, but her words remained the same at the moment, and she just nodded gratefully to him.

Roddy got into the carriage, Gordon gave an order, and more than twenty knights turned on their horses, and the carriage guarded slowly drove towards the palace...
