【Leian】Prison bird

His Majesty the King, who was far away in the royal city, suddenly fell ill.

An Mixiu was trapped in the manor when he heard the news.The eldest prince put him under house arrest in the room at the top of the tower and sent heavy guards to guard him.Outside the window, the four walls stand steeply, and the smooth and flat brick walls are blown by the rain and wind to nowhere.

From time to time, the sound of patrolling footsteps came from outside the door. An Mixiu listened carefully for a while, and determined that there were ten people in the first team.The eldest prince who told him the news got up from his seat, walked slowly to the door, turned his head and warned him not to make unnecessary struggles, he would not be able to escape.

An Mixiu was very anxious, he didn't want to ask such silly things as "How do I know if you're lying to me?" Firstly, the other party didn't need to tell such a lie that could arouse people's sense of resistance; The eldest prince's attitude.He talks about it with ease, and if the situation is not what he expects, it is still in his hands.

Whether it is the initiative to set up the game, or the attitude of watching the changes, it is extremely unfavorable to Leishi - this means that the eldest prince is always sure to win.

He must go back to Wangcheng to see it with his own eyes, and then pass the news to Leishi.

Thinking of Lei Shi, An Mixiu couldn't help recalling the truth about the marriage that the eldest prince mentioned in the conversation not long ago.At that time, the latter was just pointing to the end, leaving a bunch of plausible mysteries to confuse his heart. An Mixiu also mentioned this topic afterwards, but the other party always held an inscrutable smile and refused to accept it. satisfy him.

"I'm curious, what is it about my younger brother that your Excellency is willing to work so hard for him?" The eldest prince asked without answering.

An Mixiu was silent for a moment, and said, "Because Your Majesty is the king."

"Oh?" The eldest prince raised his eyebrows, smiled and said nothing.

An Mixiu paused for a moment, and added: "Even without him, I will not be loyal to you."

The eldest prince nodded, calmly like an outsider: "You will die with me for the sake of your father." He changed the subject and said suddenly: "It seems that you should really thank him for letting you live Come down." The teasing meaning in the words made An Mixiu somewhat uncomfortable.

He didn't understand why the other party seemed to be so meaningful when he said this, but he was clear about one thing - the secret that the First Prince had never revealed must be very important to him.

At this time, the other party joked as if seeing through all his thoughts: "Why, you can't wait for this little time? Be careful, and you will be able to see your majesty in two days." As if coaxing a child tone.

The knight who had been guarding silently opened the door, and after the eldest prince Shi Shiran walked out of the room, he closed it and locked it.

An Mixiu forced himself to calm down and think about how to escape.Apart from the knight who accompanied the eldest prince away, there were four fully armed soldiers in the room, watching his every move.And An Mixiu's saber that had been with him for many years had been confiscated when he was escorted here.

To quietly defeat the four elite soldiers who seemed difficult to deal with was obviously as unrealistic as jumping from a window sill that was more than ten meters high.What's more, although the eldest prince treated him preferentially, it was only on the material level - although this room is simple, it still has everything that one needs.His hands were firmly tied behind his back, and the thick and tough rope wrapped around his entire forearm, binding him so tightly that it was difficult to even move his shoulders.

The wedding was scheduled two days later. Although Yorkshire and King City were located at the north and south poles, separated by several provinces, according to the mobility of the light cavalry, they could arrive in one night.

According to the eldest prince's idea, the light cavalry would ambush in the dense forest outside the king's city one day in advance.On the day of the royal wedding, according to past traditions, a grand carnival banquet will be held after entering the night.The princes and nobles were having fun and lingering, and the soldiers in charge of the defense would also secretly taste the sweetness of the wine, take a nap lazily, and play with the warblers on the street for a while.The mellow wine mixed with the fragrance of flowers gradually paralyzes people's nerves, and under the gradually darkening night, the dinner party is about to reach its climax.

It was at this time that the light cavalry who were dormant in the dark sneaked into the city silently and launched a surprise attack!

In order to whitewash the undercurrents of intrigue between the two families and appease the panicked hearts, it is impossible for those in power to put on a jittery battle.Doing so is tantamount to directly acknowledging his incompetence, and the majestic king has to be forced by his family.At the same time, the internal unstable factors were also exposed in front of everyone in a majestic way—look, the boy from the Lancaster family is still young, and he can't even subdue the York family, who has lost his backbone. He can really be a good one. king?Has the time of peace not yet come?

Therefore, even if Leishi wanted to move, it would only be done secretly.

But now it's different.

An Mixiu thought that Lei Shi fell ill.This matter has a dreamlike sense of unreality, and he still can't believe that Lei Shi will have a day when he can't do what he wants.But what if?What if?

Lei Shi's health has always been very good, and An Mixiu has never seen him troubled by illness since he met him, so the eldest prince can only be a hindrance.Thinking of the cause of the death of the previous king, he couldn't help clenching his fists.What's up with Leo now?Poisoned or under house arrest?Besides that Miss Bai Qiangwei from Yorkshire, is there anyone available?Will you take care of his body sincerely?

And then there's the question of Daniel.Since the first prince mentioned Daniel, it means that they have reached a consensus on a certain aspect, but they each take what they need, and they are not heart-to-heart.The coronation of the new king requires the participation of the Holy See. If Daniel is willing to crown the eldest prince, he will be assisted and recognized by theocracy just like Leishi.

This is undoubtedly an extremely bad development. The two orthodox "kings" are destined to fight for territorial disputes, and Daniel's behavior is tantamount to embarrassing Leishi mercilessly.

Why did Daniel cooperate with the First Prince? What was his motivation and what was his need? Apart from his role in the coronation ceremony, was he also among those who were in charge of receiving the Hussars in the city on the night of the wedding?

An Mixiu calculated the time it would take to deploy manpower and deploy defenses in the capital, and came to the conclusion that he must flee Yorkshire tonight.Otherwise, even if they arrived later, it would be too late to make an effective counterattack.

An Mixiu has no time to imagine the scene after the two meet. This unknown proposition is like other unsolved mysteries hovering in his mind, surrounded by a hesitant fog.He walked to the edge of the bed and sat down, looking around out of the corner of his eye, but found that there was nothing in the room that could be used as a weapon, not even the one with a slightly sharp corner.

The First Prince was indeed thoughtful.An Mixiu sighed in his heart, then turned his gaze to the four soldiers guarding the door.At their waists hung a sharp broad-edged sword.

And just as he was thinking about the countermeasures to escape, another unexpected guest came outside the door.The uninvited guest walked into the house, and the first thing he said was: "We meet again, Your Excellency the Knight."

An Mixiu immediately recognized the other party's identity from those smiling blue eyes.The expression on his face cooled down, "It's you." The person who came was the mysterious knight who had fought with him in the forest a few days ago.

"Your Highness said that since we met once, let me chat with you." The young knight smiled and said, "Lewis, my name."

An Mixiu didn't speak, the eldest prince sent him here to chat, and basically to monitor his actions.The current situation is even more serious. Leaving aside the four people just now, Lewis's swordsmanship is superb, even if he is not far from him who holds a sword. What's more, his hands are bound now, and he is reduced to a prisoner whose movements are hindered.

He was full of thoughts and just wanted to get away as soon as possible, but this knight named Lewis seemed to be very interested in him, sitting on the sofa beside him, staring at him without blinking, resting his cheek.

The passage of time every minute and every second seemed to be deliberately stretched, making it extremely difficult.An Mixiu couldn't help frowning: "If you have anything to say, just say it."

"Your Excellency misunderstood, I have nothing to say." Lewis shrugged his shoulders, ignoring the coldness in his words, and said familiarly: "I'm just looking to see what's special about you."

An Mixiu paused and said, "I'm afraid I will disappoint you."

Lewis laughed: "You are so humorous."

An Mixiu jumped out word by word with a blunt attitude: "I am seeking truth from facts." Instinct told him that the other party's topic would not make him happy.

Lewis smiled for a while and asked, "Are you still blaming me for killing the villagers?"

An Mixiu didn't speak, just looked at him.

Lewis tilted his head and said, "The Knight of Hundred Flowers is really upright. No wonder, after all, you are so different from His Majesty. It seems that he can explain why he made such a decision."

The wind outside the window suddenly moved, blowing away the thick clouds on the horizon and blowing away the heavy fog in my heart.An Mixiu took a short breath and blurted out: "You know?"
