Early the next morning, Chris decided to continue his escape north.
Not far ahead is Lianyucheng, where it rains and snows all year round. It is a good place for fun, but it is Charlemagne's fief, so it is obviously not a good place to escape.
"Old gentleman, we are lost businessmen. We have run out of food. Can you give us a few pieces of bread... I know survival is not easy. I, I am really not a liar. I, I can use my
Come and change your cloak. You see, this is very good material. We haven’t eaten for several days. Please have mercy on us..."
Chris shamelessly begged for a piece of bread from the farmer, but the king and his wife ate it all.
"Dirty food is disgusting!" The king cursed Chris while eating, "This is all because of you! When I return to the capital, the first thing I will do is lock you in the dungeon!"
The angry Sandos pulled out his sword and frightened the king to get behind Edmund: "Do you want to kill the king? This is a heinous crime! You will receive the most severe punishment, and you will be on the pillar of shame of the kingdom forever.
Engraved with your name!"
They bypassed the town, relied on begging and hunting, and trekked on the small road for five days, finally arriving at the Velvet City. The lord, Earl Winston, opened the city gate and came with hundreds of soldiers to welcome the king and prince.
.
"Your Majesty the King, Your Highness the Prince!" Winston smiled on his horse, "The beautiful Velvet City welcomes you, and the loyal Winston family is willing to lead his people to fight alongside you!"
With his iconic smile, the king praised Winston enthusiastically: "I have said more than once that there are hard-working and kind-hearted people in Huadong City, because they have the most loyal lords to the king!"
Winston smiled and said: "Even if the sea water dries up, even if the sun sets, the people of Huadong City will always love their king, and the Winston family will always support their king!"
The king smiled and said: "I will not begrudge the kingdom's rewards. The Winston family will receive a higher title and more territory. Your names will always shine brightly in the annals of history!"
Winston saluted the king on the horse and expressed his deep gratitude to the king. The proud king drove the horse calmly. He was about to lead everyone towards the city gate, but Sandos caught him
The reins.
"Arrogant idiot, what do you want to do?" The angry king looked at Sandos, "I swear, when I return to the capital, I will kill you..."
"Shut up!" Sandos glared at the king and turned to Chris, "The opponent's military formation is a bit strange."
Chris nodded and said: "I also noticed that the soldiers on both wings seemed to be standing in front of the central army."
Winston's military formation was arc-shaped, with the cavalry on both wings standing forward, but it didn't look so obvious under the city wall.
Moreover, he was accompanied by all cavalry, which is obviously not what a guard of honor should look like.
"We can't go through," Chris shook his head and said, "As long as we get close to them, they will immediately surround us!"
"Your Majesty the King!" Winston shouted loudly, "We have prepared fine wine and delicious food. The people of Huadong City are waiting for His Majesty's arrival!"
The king picked up the riding crop and hit Sandos: "Get out of the way! I want to chop off your stupid head right now!"
Chris shouted to Winston: "Earl Winston, the king is feeling a little unwell. I hope you can personally help the king off his horse and escort the king to your castle."
Winston smiled and said: "Your Majesty does not need to dismount, your Majesty's horse can gallop freely in Huarong City!"
He was secretly changing the concept. He understood what Chris meant, but he just didn't want to come.
"Please send some food and water first," Chris said, "so that His Majesty can regain some energy before going to see his people."
Winston bit his lip, and he lost his patience: "Your Highness, I seem to have said that there are a lot of fine wines and delicacies in Huarong City. If you are really hungry, come here quickly."
The king was startled. Winston's attitude seemed wrong.
Chris sneered: "Earl Winston, you shouldn't speak to the king in such a tone."
"Tone?" Winston said with a smile, "I'm afraid it's not just the tone. I seem to have neglected a lot of due etiquette. Should I dismount immediately, kneel on my knees, kiss your horses' hooves all the way, and send you to the city?
inside?"
The king hurriedly shouted: "Don't listen to this idiot's nonsense, Earl Winston, we don't need to care about these red tapes. You are just like my child. You don't need to have any restraints in front of me!"
"Your child, hehehehe... did you hear that? He said I was his child!" Winston laughed loudly. He turned around and shouted to the soldiers, "You all heard it, you all saw it!
How many years have I endured him? Do you know how difficult it is? Every word and every move he makes is disgusting!"
"Winston, I, my child..." The king still had the last hope for Winston, but Chris immediately gave the order to retreat.
Everyone turned their horses and galloped wildly, and Winston led the soldiers to catch up immediately.
"Don't go, Your Majesty the King, Huadong City welcomes you, let me chop off your head, the new king is much more generous than you, he will immediately make me a marquis, he will immediately give me a new territory, no
Those promises in your mouth can never be fulfilled!"
Thanks to Chris and the others, they were riding horses from the Golden Lion Legion. After running wildly for a whole afternoon, they finally got rid of their pursuers. When they escaped into a wilderness, the exhausted king fell off his horse with mud on his face.
He Xuemo passed out.
Edmund sighed and said: "Your Highness, I think you are right. The lords hate him far more than they respect him."
"No one respects him at all," Chris said with a helpless smile. "People only respect his throne."
Sandos said: "Should we leave him here?"
"Wait a little longer," Chris said. "Go further north and let's try our luck again."
The group walked north for another three days, during which time they passed Red Clay City and Clearwater County. These two lords did more directly than Winston. They sent out all their soldiers to hunt down the demon prince and the fake king, and
They issued very firm orders to the soldiers. Anyone who encountered similar appearance would be arrested immediately. If there was resistance, they would be killed without mercy.
In this situation, Chris didn't even have a chance to beg. In desperation, they killed a war horse. After eating the horse meat, the king regained some energy, but he began to talk nonsense and often made
Some weird behavior.
"Loyal ministers, brave warriors, kind people," the king stood on a mound and delivered a speech passionately. This was originally the speech he prepared for the celebration. "With our joint efforts, Ryan
Our country has experienced an extraordinary year, and the glorious glory we have achieved is enough to make our ancestors feel proud of us..."
"He is crazy," Edmund frowned. "This is very dangerous. He keeps making noises from morning to night and will be discovered by the enemy soon."
Sandos said: "Your Highness, please send the king away. If you don't want to, I can do it for you. At least this will allow him to die with some dignity."
Chris remained silent, and Sandos took this as acquiescence. He drew his sword and walked to the king, only to find that the king peed his pants in fear.
Chris stopped Sandos, he helped the king onto his horse, and whispered: "Stop shouting, stop shouting, I beg you, don't make any more noise, otherwise I may really kill you!"
"
The king nodded tremblingly, and Chris turned around and said to Edmund: "Go to Drawsha City. I once stopped the plague there. Their lord owes me a favor."
