Looking back before the war, on the day of Shibao's wedding, the brave man Xing Jun was equally busy.
He did not attend the wedding directly that day, but quietly left the stone castle with Noboru Shirai, and met Chief Knight Hogel in the forest ten miles away.
With a stern look on his face, Hogel opened his mouth to question: "Brave Xing Jun, you did not return to the imperial capital as planned, but you led the army to change the itinerary. What is the reason!?"
Xing Jun frowned slightly, thinking that rules are set by people. You are a human being and I am a human being. Your status is high and my status is not low either. As a brave man, you can't go anywhere or do anything, so why should you abide by your rules?
The rules below.
He was thinking this in his heart, and said with a slightly harsh tone: "The Golden Lions traveled a long distance without stopping, and finally rescued the stone castle at the critical moment and protected the southern border from the beast tide. This is a great contribution to the human society."
"Ha! You are very reasonable, aren't you?" Xing Jun's unrepentant attitude deeply irritated Hogel.
"If there is a disaster in the southern border, His Majesty the King will dispatch troops to support you. You mobilize the national army without permission, without organization and discipline, and without the king's laws. (The Golden Lions are a knightly order funded by the king, and all personnel have formal records and formalities.
force)
Huh! It’s good to say that you are lawless. Those who know the truth understand that you are here to rescue Shibao, but those who don’t know think you are leading the troops to rebel against the country!"
Xing Jun's face turned cold: He was so polite to this old guy and he kicked his nose in the face?!
Shiraisheng, who was familiar with Xing Jun's temper, saw that the situation was not right, and quickly grabbed Xing Jun's shoulders and jumped in front of him to speak for him: "Your Excellency, we already know that we are wrong. You know that Xing Jun has a bad character.
He is stubborn but also prefers to save face. Don’t look at him trying to be brave now. In fact, he told me in private more than once that he was wrong and that he shouldn’t have come to the south in such a hurry. He is such a bear. Don’t be like him."
"Humph!" Hogel snorted dissatisfiedly.
Xing Jun's face became even more gloomy.
Shirai Noboru became anxious, thinking that Xing Jun was not like this in the palace before. Although he was tough at that time, he was actually very reasonable inside. As long as what he was told was reasonable, he would accept it no matter how reluctant he was.
Adopt and implement it.
I don’t know when Xing Jun changed. Xing Jun’s conversations with others became simpler and simpler. They were so simple and rude that they could be templated. The details are as follows:
The two parties talk and exchange opinions. If the other party follows Xing Jun's will and does things, the matter is over and the other party will do what Xing Jun wants;
If the two parties do not reach an agreement, there will inevitably be an argument. If the other party can make Xing Jun accept his opinion in a few words, it is best to implement it. Otherwise, it will go to the next step, which is also the last step:
Xing Jun's head got hot and he used force to force the other party to do what he wanted...
Applying this template to the current situation, Shirai Noboru is really afraid that Xing Jun will use force. The country's chief knight Hogel is not someone Xing Jun can use force to coerce!
He then thought to himself that Xing Jun had begun to lose his qualifications as a leader. Although his personality charm remained unchanged, his charm was more reflected in other aspects rather than being born in the position of leader.
Hogel said coldly: "Humph! Since you have made a mistake, you must make up for it."
Xing Jun raised his eyebrows coldly and was about to speak, but Noboru Shirai was the first to greet him with a smile: "Sir, please speak. We, the younger generation, are all ears."
"Are you just listening?" Hogel became more and more angry as he stared at Xing Jun's disrespectful face.
Shirai Noboru quickly apologized and said with a flattering smile: "Don't worry, we will definitely do what we can do, and we must try our best to do what we can't do. It is what we should do to share the country's worries and make atonement for ourselves."
"snort!"
Hogel stretched his arms for a while and then solemnly said: "This invasion of the orcs is a good thing. The demon king is resurrected, and the empire's attention will shift to the west. I have been worried that the orcs will take the opportunity to cause trouble when we are at war with the demons. Now
Fortunately, these stupid orcs showed up on their own. Now that they're here, we can't let them go!
More than 10,000 mages from the empire have been assembled and are rushing here. This matter should not be made public. Please quietly inform Duke Ivan and let us work together to deal with him and restore peace to the southern border for a hundred years."
Hogel waved, and a rather handsome knight came out. He stood in front of Xing Jun with glaring eyes, looking quite energetic.
Hogel said: "His name is Atlan, and he is sent to you as a messenger. He is responsible for the communication between us."
Shirai Noboru hurriedly received him.
When there was nothing else to do, Xing Jun, Noboru Shirai and the newly arrived Atlan were about to leave. Hogel suddenly said loudly: "Don't think I don't know what you are thinking. Come out and take a look around to see the vast world."
Are you crazy? Do you think the world can’t support you? You can rest against a big tree so you can enjoy the shade. Your lion troupe was established with funding from the king. The key members are also children of the imperial capital. Ivan’s family can’t support them in such a poor house.
Get up for you!"
Xing Jun froze, while Noboru Shirai and Atlan looked shocked.
Xing Jun turned around and glared at him, then turned away stubbornly.
Hogel spat and cursed in a low voice: "Why are you staring? You want to run before you even learn how to walk. I'll throw you to death, little bastard."
Xing Jun remained silent on the way back to the city, and Shirai Sheng was not in a good mood. However, the newcomer Atlan smiled happily and said: "Don't take what Mr. Hogle said to heart, you know that he
I'm used to being in a high position and have a strong personality, but I still prefer it a little bit.
Face. Don’t look at his stern appearance, but he is actually very talkative. In fact, he has been worried about your situation more than once in private, saying that you should not come to the south in such a hurry. He loves deeply and bears deep responsibility, so he acted like a bear just now. You
Don't get along with him."
Xing Jun suddenly stopped marching, but saw him turning around on horseback and saying: "You go back to the city first."
"Sir?" Atlan thought to himself, did he say the wrong thing?
Xing Jun said: "I want to see an old friend. If it's inconvenient for you to stay here, go back first."
Shirai Noboru frowned. Xing Jun came from the earth and walked out of the palace. There are no old friends here. He must have been angry and made a child lose his temper. He is childish! If you want to be alone, just be alone here.
, Shirai Noboru motioned for Atlan to go first together.
After the two left, the white mouse Mia appeared on the branches.
"I've always been curious, how did you see me even if the Archmage couldn't find me invisibility?"
Xing Jun said in a cold voice: "You don't need to worry about this. If you are here, it means Yang Fei is also here. Tell him to come out."
Mia giggled and said: "Yang Fei is not here, he is having a wedding banquet in Stone Castle City now~!"
"Hmph!" Xing Jun's eyes narrowed dangerously, and he said with murderous intent:
"He took advantage of my absence to harass Mo Huijun!? I warned him not to let me see him again, otherwise he would be dead! But he still had the guts to come back... Tell me, he asked you to see me because he was
What the hell are you thinking?"
"Hehe~!"
Mia jumped down from the branch and landed firmly on the head of the horse Xing Jun was riding. She stood up and said: "It's me who wants to see you, not him. I have something to ask you, not him."
.”
"Oh?" Xing Jun was slightly surprised.
"I want to listen to this. You saved Yang Fei's life, so you are considered his confidant, right? That smart guy is such a thief. He can't be too bad outside. Your status has risen with him. What can happen?
Come and ask me for help?"
Mia said: "I want to take refuge in you."
"What did you say??!"
Xing Jun raised his eyebrows and felt that he had heard something wrong in the silent forest.
Mia said word by word:
"I said, I want to betray Yang Fei and join your army, will you accept it or not?"
The silent forest becomes even more silent...
Suddenly, a bird chirped out of nowhere, and Xing Jun laughed. The intensity of his laughter affected his vitality, causing the brilliance of fighting spirit to emerge from his body.
The birds, apes, and monkeys in the trees were frightened, and the poisonous insects and beasts on the ground were scattered in all directions. The worst thing was that the horse under Xing Jun's crotch had its internal organs shattered by the impact of his fighting spirit, and it fell to the ground dead.
Xing Jun fell to the ground and was still laughing. After a long pause, he didn't care about his embarrassed image, stood up and asked with a smile on his face: "You, you want to change jobs and come to my place~? Who is Yang Fei?
How miserable is the mess~!? Ah~?”
Mia rolled her eyes at him. "Okay, very good. He will behead you soon. How can it be bad?"
Xing Jun was playful: "Then you still come to seek refuge with me?"
Mia said confidently: "He and I have different goals and different goals. Since we seem to be incompatible with each other, why can't we switch to your service?"
"Oh? You and he have different goals? Then our goals are the same?" Xing Jun asked.
"Inconsistent?"
"Is it consistent?"
"Inconsistent?"
Xing Jun frowned and asked again: "Is it consistent?"
Mia could only explain: "As a brave man, you want to overthrow the Urban royal family, and I want to overthrow the Urban royal family because of my blood feud. Isn't it inconsistent?"
"Who told you that I want to destroy the royal family?"
A country? My appetite is not as big as you think."
Mia was stunned and looked suspicious. "Didn't your bitch Shirai Noboru tell you?"
"say what?"
Mia stared at Xing Jun's confused look and suddenly realized something, and smiled slyly.
"So you don't know anything yet~? Shirai Noboru didn't even mention to you the fact that the Urban royal family is a demon hybrid?"
"The Urban royal family has demon blood?" Xing Jun's eyes widened.
"It seems you don't know anything at all~ Hee hee, why do you think Dong Quan died~? Why does the Urban royal family want Yang Fei~? You idiot, you still can't figure it out?"
...The past events came to mind one by one, connected like pearls, and Xing Jun's thoughts suddenly became clear.
"Shirai Noboru, this bastard..."
Mia smiled proudly and said: "Now you understand, you have to guard against the demons in front of you, but also against the demons behind you. The first generation of brave men were killed by the Urban royal family behind them because they neglected to take precautions.
of!"
Xing Jun took a deep breath, calmed down his ups and downs of emotions, and thought with some refusal: "Then I don't have to accept you. You have been with Yang Fei for so long, who knows if you have truly surrendered to me."
Mia said excitedly: "I didn't expect that Xing Jun also lacked heroism, had no tolerance for others, and allowed others to recognize relatives but not talents. I can be of use to you."
Xing Jun wondered: "What use are you to me?"
"I can give you some advice."
Xing Jun waved his hand and said, "Noboru Shirai is already making suggestions for me."
Mia smiled and said:
"I have always believed that you can only discuss things with two kinds of people, one is your family, and the other is people who are better than you.
I heard from Yang Fei about what happened between your classmates, Brave Xing Jun, do you think Noboru Shirai, who is not related to you by blood, is better than you?"
Xing Jun thought for a while and shook his head.
Mia asked again: "Can Shirai Noboru treat you without reservation like he treats his relatives?"
Xing Jun smiled and shook his head.
So Mia walked to Xing Jun and said affirmatively:
"Then you need me!
Facts have proved that Noboru Shirai is not doing his best for you, but that he has selfish motives. You can use me to balance him.
If you still have no confidence in me, I am willing to submit a petition."
"What is the name certificate?"
"The brave Yang Fei." Mia said: "I hand over the brave Yang Fei to you."
