Episode 10 Chapter 27
In Tang Yin's impression, Besa's King Knis was an old man with a ruddy face, full of energy and spirit, but now he looked pale and bloodless, and he was slumped in the carriage, listless and lacking vitality. Tang Yin didn't know what disease Knis had, but looking at his complexion and state, he felt that he was seriously ill.
Besa gave full courtesy to Tang Yin's arrival. Not only did Knis, who was seriously ill, personally go out of the city to greet him, but even the military ministers of the court came out, and they also fired a rare twenty-round salute.
Tang Yin walked at the front of the team and came to Knis's carriage first. When he turned over and got off the horse, Knis also called on the attendants around him to help him up and slowly got off the carriage.
"Your Highness, King of Wind, long time no see... cough cough..." Knis started coughing before he could say a word.
Tang Yin frowned, took two steps forward, and said with a bow: "Your Majesty is not in good health and should rest in the palace."
"Hey?" Knis waved his hand, swallowed several mouthfuls of saliva, and then stopped coughing, and then said: "That's not my Besa's way of hospitality. I should have gone to the border to greet King Feng in person, but... cough cough... I have been weak recently, and the doctor said that I can't stand the long journey. I have neglected King Feng, King Feng, please forgive me!"
Although Knis was seriously ill, his warm and approachable temperament did not change, which touched Tang Yin a little. He took another step forward and held Knis's arm with one hand. Seeing his trembling and shaky body, Tang Yin was really afraid that he would suddenly faint and fall to the ground.
"Your Majesty is too polite. It is important to take good care of your body." While holding Knis's arm, Tang Yin's heart was also shaken.
Before he could think about it, a man walked out of the crowd quickly, holding Knis's arm, and said with concern, "Father, you should go back to the car and rest!"
Tang Yin turned his eyes and saw that the person who came out was not someone else, but the person he was going to marry, Besa's eldest princess - Xiaona.
Xiaona was not wearing a loose princess dress, but a tight and sexy outfit, white clothes, white pants, white boots and white gloves, a sword on her waist, a white cloak on her back, and her golden hair neatly tied up. She looked heroic and charming. But her outfit looked more like she was going to fight, not like she was coming to welcome her fiancé.
Tang Yin and Xiaona had not seen each other for a long time. When they met again, Tang Yin's eyes lit up and he couldn't help but exclaimed in admiration. He nodded slightly and said softly, "Your Highness."
"Hmph!" Xiaona only snorted coldly, her eyes did not stay on Tang Yin for half a second, she swept coldly, then took Knis's arm and turned to walk towards the carriage.
Tang Yin looked confused. Although he and Xiaona were not close, they had always gotten along well. Why did she become so cold to him when they met again? Suddenly he thought of what Blanca said to him. Xiaona had a close relationship with Prince Pavel Ehrenreich of Duki. Could it be that she was blaming his proposal for ruining her and Pavel Ehrenreich's good fortune?
As he was thinking about it, another person walked out of the crowd. This person was tall, dressed gorgeously and exquisitely, less than 30 years old, handsome, with deep facial features. He was the kind of handsome young man that people would find hard to forget after seeing him once. He walked to the other side of Knis, extended his hand to him attentively, and said, "Uncle is not feeling well, and he shouldn't have left the palace."
This young man was the Prince of Duki, who was rumored to have a close relationship with Xiaona - Pavel Ehrnrich. Since Besa and Duki were confederation countries, and the kings of the two countries were brothers, Pavel intimately called Knis uncle.
Watching Xiaona and Pavel, each on one side, carefully helping Knis get on the carriage, Tang Yin suddenly felt that Xiaona, Pavel, and Knis were a family, and he was the redundant one, and he shouldn't have come to Besa at all.
This scene also caused a few low sneers from the nobles of Besa. The laughter was not loud, but it was enough for Tang Yin to hear clearly, which made him feel more embarrassed.
Blanca quietly walked behind Tang Yin and whispered a reminder: "Her Royal Highness is your fiancée."
The implication was that Tang Yin should go over quickly and kick Pavel Ehrnrich away who was in the way. From the bottom of his heart, Blanca hoped that Tang Yin and Xiao Na could be together. He was also very optimistic about the marriage between Besa and Feng Country, which would bring Besa the greatest benefits. If it married Du Ji, Besa would not change much.
Tang Yin also wanted to go over, but looking at the three people slowly walking towards the carriage, he felt that he had no place to go.
While he was still wondering whether he should follow, a group of young nobles came out of the crowd of Besa nobles. They all rushed to Tang Yin, grinning, and performed the noble etiquette, saying: "Your Highness, King Feng!"
Tang Yin looked up, okay, they were all old acquaintances, and the smile on his face deepened. He read one by one: "Brian Lucas, Gray Treadway, Philip Bass..."
These young nobles were all young generals who followed the army to reinforce Tang Yin. Now some of them are viscounts, and some are earls. They have become the best young generals in Besa.
Hearing Tang Yin accurately call out their names, the young generals were even more excited, especially Brian, who laughed heartily and said, "I told you, His Highness the Wind King will not forget us."
The other young generals were also happy, each showing two rows of white teeth.
Brian approached Tang Yin, glanced back at the carriage, and whispered: "Your Highness, King Feng, don't worry, Your Highness the Princess and Pavel have nothing to do."
oh? Tang Yin's heart moved. He knew that the relationship between young nobles like Brian and Xiaona had always been very close, and they naturally knew the best about Xiaona's situation. He didn't answer, just looked at Brian suspiciously and listened to his explanation.
"Although Her Royal Highness has nothing to do with Pavel, she is really angry with you."
"Why?"
"Because you broke your promise."
"Broken promise?"
"Didn't you promise to Her Highness the Princess that you would come to Besa again after becoming the Wind Queen? But you never came." Brian sighed softly and said: "It's not pleasant to wait for someone, not to mention that Your Highness the Princess is waiting for you. Just over two years.”
Tang Yin was silent. Yes, he did make such a promise at the beginning, but after becoming the Wind King, he was busier than before and couldn't really spare any time. These words were of no use to Brian, so he had to find an opportunity to explain to Shauna. However, Tang Yin was somewhat relieved to learn that the relationship between Xiaona and Pavel was not as close as Blanca said.
While they were still talking, Sanchez von Poulos came slowly over, smiling.
Seeing him coming, Brian and others hurriedly retreated to both sides, while looking at Tang Yin worriedly. Sanchez is the brother of Knis, who is a Duke. He is also the person with the highest status and the most real power in Besa besides Knis. Young nobles like Brian are quite afraid of Sanchez.
Sanchez stood in front of Tang Yin, looked him up and down, and said with a smile: "Your Highness, King Feng, we haven't seen each other for a long time." He was smiling, but his smile gave people a cold feeling.
Tang Yin met Sanchez's eyes. This old man was still as annoying as before! His smile was not much warmer, and he said slowly: "Your Excellency, the Duke, is still in good health, which is gratifying."
Sanchez's face darkened as he could hear the sarcasm in Tang Yin's words, and then he said with a smile: "His Royal Highness Feng Wang has come all the way here, I'm afraid he will come back disappointed."
"Oh? I wonder what your Excellency, the Duke, means?"
Sanchez deliberately looked back. At this time, Shauna and Pavel were helping Chris get into the carriage. He said with a proud face: "His Royal Highness the Wind King also saw it. The princess and Prince Pavel fell in love. I want to use my identity as His Highness the Wind King." ”
He had known for a long time that Duke Sanchez looked at him and firmly opposed his marriage to Xiaona, so Tang Yin was not surprised at all by Sanchez's straightforward words. He said with a smile: "I think your Excellency the Duke has misunderstood and agreed to this." It is His Majesty the King who is planning the marriage. If His Majesty the King does not agree, I will naturally not be able to take the princess away. "
Sanchez's eyes narrowed, the smile on his face disappeared, and he raised the corner of his mouth coldly and said, "Brother Wang will object!" After speaking, he snorted again, turned around and left.
It wasn't until Sanchez walked away that Brian and the others gathered around him again and whispered, "Your Highness, the Wind King, don't pay too much attention to the Duke's words..."
Tang Yin shrugged and said, "Of course I don't mind. Besides, your Lord Duke hasn't changed at all. He still doesn't like me."
After hearing this, Brian and the others couldn't help but burst into laughter.
Despite Tang Yin's appearance of being relaxed and joking, in fact he also felt uneasy. What worries him the most is Knis's body. Judging from his complexion, it seems that he may die at any time. If Knis dies of illness, then his marriage to Shawna will be as Sanchez wishes and will be impossible.
If you want to bring Xiaona back to Feng Country, you have to do it as soon as possible, otherwise the night will be long and you will have many dreams, and you don’t know what will happen! Thinking of this, Tang Yin's eyes gleamed. He turned around and mounted his horse, knocked his feet on the stirrups, and urged the horse forward, arriving in front of the king's carriage. First he looked at Kenis, who was slumped in the carriage, then bent down and stretched out his hand to Xiaona.
Not understanding what he was going to do, Xiaona and Pavel on the side both frowned and looked at him.
Tang Yin said softly: "Princess Xiaona, I will take you into the city."
It was obvious that he was inviting Shauna for a ride.
When Pavel heard this, his expression suddenly changed. Without thinking, he grabbed Xiaona's wrist and pulled her behind him. From the look on his face, he seemed to be protecting his beloved baby from others. As if snatched away. Xiao Na's face was slightly red, and her tone was still cold as she said: "I have my own ride..."
Before she finished speaking, Tang Yin had relaxed his waist, stretched out his arms, hugged Xiaona's waist, and carried her directly to his horse.
Through the confrontation with Besa, Tang Yin understood the truth that in order to conquer the Besa people, he had to become more barbaric than the Besa people.
