The phone in the room rang. King Yuchuan answered the phone and heard the secretary-general's voice: "Your Majesty, King Anduo's people have sent an email. Do you want to check it now?"
King Yuchuan said: "Send it over." He pressed the remote control, and a huge and clear electronic display screen descended from the ceiling. He clicked on the video email and saw his eldest son Lan being tied up.
kindness.
Lann was pushed to the ground by several Hronks, with a piece of cloth stuffed in his mouth. He struggled desperately, and veins appeared on his forehead. His clothes were in tatters, he was dirty, and there was still wet blood on his body.
Bloodstains.
King Yuchuan looked at his son's embarrassed appearance and suddenly felt his blood rising.
A deep voice rang out: "Long time no see, brother, I wonder if you are still in good health?" The fat and tall body of King Andor appeared on the screen.
King Andor was sitting on the sofa, holding a cup of coffee in his hand. He took a sip of coffee, then lazily put the cup on the tray in the hands of the attendant, and asked the attendant to put the tray on Lan En's blood-stained body.
On his back, the tall Lann seemed to be used as a coffee table by him at this moment.
Seeing this scene, King Yuchuan was so angry that he could hardly stand. He angrily threw everything on the table to the ground. King Anduo's trampling on Lan En's dignity in this way was tantamount to beating King Yuchuan.
face.
"This damn thing! I will kill him sooner or later!" King Yuchuan gritted his teeth loudly.
In the video, King Anduo lazily leaned back on the sofa. He unfolded a map and shook it slightly in front of the camera. "I want you to take seven cities west of Zhengting Pass. If you don't agree, I'm afraid.
I will never see your son again."
The scene finally turned to Lan En's haggard face. His Highness, who used to be so energetic and confident, now looked humiliated, and was worse off than dead.
After a few seconds, the video ended, and the electronic display automatically retracted and rose to its original position.
The furious King Yuchuan suddenly felt a cramp in his chest. He staggered back and almost fell to the ground.
"Father, be careful!" Nozzi on the side quickly supported him. "This King Andor is really despicable and shameless. This is simply an act of banditry!"
King Yuchuan caressed his chest and calmed down after a while. "My ancestors fought for years and spent a lot of effort to build the twenty-three cities we have today. He actually wanted to take away seven of them.
.Don't even think about it! Every inch of our land is indispensable for the blood of our ancestors. Even if I die, I will definitely protect it."
"But if we refuse to give in, how can we save our eldest brother?" Nozzi looked worried.
King Yuchuan sighed and pressed his eyebrows tiredly. "I have to think about it again. Alas, I don't know how much your elder brother has suffered. Those people will definitely not make it easy for him."
Nozzi said with relief: "Now King Andor wants to use my eldest brother to force us to cede the city. That brother is valuable to them in their hearts. King Andor's people will not easily hurt his life."
King Yuchuan nodded and said: "As long as he can save his life, it will be a blessing in misfortune." His waist became more and more bowed, and his face became more haggard, as if he had aged a lot.
"By the way, where did that loser Abli go?" King Yuchuan became furious when he mentioned the general who led the reinforcements.
His attendant looked at his face and said cautiously: "General Abli has just returned and is waiting outside to apologize to you."
King Yuchuan said angrily: "Let him get out!"
His Highness Nozzi advised from the side: "Father, please calm down. At this juncture, it is better not to blame Abli too harshly. Now that the eldest brother has been captured, General Miyun has been bedridden, and there are no generals around you who are worthy of such responsibilities."
There is not much left. Let’s give General Abli a chance to redeem himself and make meritorious service.”
"You kid is just too soft-hearted and can't bear to let people around you suffer. I heard that one of your subordinates fell ill yesterday. You took care of him yourself without eating or drinking. You stayed up for several hours without closing your eyes."
In the eyes of King Yuchuan, his second son was too kind and honest, but lacked some skills and courage.
Nozzi smiled and said: "I don't know who can talk so fast that he has to tell you even such a trivial matter."
King Yuchuan said: "Okay, okay, stop interceding with me, go back and rest quickly."
As soon as Nozzi walked out of King Yuchuan's room, he ran into General Abli who was coming towards him. He said with a smile on his face: "The general has been traveling a long way, I'm afraid he is exhausted."
Abli stopped as soon as he saw him. His expression was a bit panicked, as if he wanted to say something but stopped.
Nuo Qi stepped forward and patted him on the shoulder, saying: "General, don't blame yourself. My father and I both know that the terrain near Shaoting Mountain is steep and tortuous. It is normal for you to be delayed there for a while. Father, isn't it?
I will blame you for this unintentional mistake."
Abli's expression was complicated, as if fear and anger were intertwined. He lowered his voice and said: "Where it is difficult to go through twists and turns, and where it is easy to lose your way, it is not up to you, Your Highness."
"General, I really don't understand what you are saying." Nozzi's always smiling face suddenly showed a stern look. But he soon returned to his usual personable and gentle demeanor.
appearance.
He took out a ruby pendant with a corner missing from his pocket and handed it to Abli's hand. "My daughter broke this pendant when she was playing with some servants yesterday. She likes this treasure very much.
She cried until her voice became hoarse. I happened to pass by nearby and coaxed her for a while before she calmed down. I originally promised to help her repair the pendant, but it seemed to be very expensive and I couldn't find it at home.
For gemstones of the same quality, I’m afraid I’ll have to break my promise.”
Abli squeezed the ruby pendant tightly, and a thin layer of sweat broke out in his palms. "It seems that His Highness is as honest and simple as everyone said. I am ashamed that I let an ignorant child play with such a precious thing."
"General, you have served the country, gone through life and death many times, and performed extraordinary feats. You deserve to use many precious gems. One day I will definitely find rare treasures and send them to your home. It can be said that I did not lie in vain and fool you.
You gave birth to your child." Nozzi showed a sincere expression.
Abli clenched his fists tightly, his hands trembling slightly. "You're welcome, Your Highness."
Nozzi said: "Then I'll take the first step and let's talk another day."
Just when Nozzi was about to pass by Abli, Abli suddenly grabbed his arm.
Abli's broad palms were quietly exerting force. He had practiced martial arts for many years and his hands were very strong. Nozzi's arms were already a little sore, but he still kept smiling and did not show any abnormality.
