When Adric walked into the main hall, his eyes did not squint, his face was cold, and the resolute lines of his face were like knife carvings.
Under the bright red cloak on his body, he wore a set of black iron armor, and when he walked, the sonorous sound seemed to be a killing aura.
After walking up the steps, the court warriors with golden armor and axes standing on both sides of the hall seemed to feel the evil aura on the general's body, and the hand holding the long axe did not feel tight.
Adric's eyebrows were low, and he suddenly turned around and lifted his cloak, untied the long sword he was wearing, and the palace attendants who followed behind him hurriedly held them with both hands, and then whispered: "General, please come in." ” This domineering general, at this moment, his face was cold and calm, and he didn't see the arrogance of Pingyu at all, so he hummed in a low voice and strode in.
The Mai court attendants on both sides saw the military general walk in with his head held high, but at the same time he had an illusion in his heart, as if it was not a person walking by, but a fierce tiger The large, heavy door opened and closed, Adric walked into the room inside, and Cantos the Great sat at the table, slightly raised, and a slight smile appeared on his slightly sickly face: "I'm back."
Adric didn't speak, first knelt down on one knee and bowed meticulously, before slowly standing up and looking into the emperor's eyes: "I'm back" Emperor Kantos looked at Adric's face and looked at him for a while, he couldn't see the slightest change in expression from Adric's face, sighed slightly in his heart, and said slowly in a deep voice: "The Thirteenth Corps, let you hand it over, have you ever been dissatisfied?"
Adric shook his head, the scar on his face shaking slightly.
"There must be dissatisfaction."
The Spearman stood up and slowly walked around the table, his figure was actually half a head taller than Adric, but his sick face was difficult to hide, but the wide skeleton seemed to be crumbling, and he didn't have the kind of fierce air on Adric's body, "I can understand that the army that I have brought with my hands for many years has been handed over, and there is always some resentment." ” Adric shook his head and said with a straight face: "Your Majesty let me lead the army for nine years, without avoiding suspicion or suspicion, it is already the greatest trust in me, and I dare not complain." ” "Hehe" Emperor Kantos smiled and looked deeply at Adric: "I don't dare." ” Adric pursed his lips and said nothing.
This time there was silence for a few moments, and finally, the Emperor whispered in a slightly hoarse voice, "Tell me, Adric, can I trust your loyalty?"
Adric seemed to be stunned, and before he could answer, the emperor had already continued in a low voice: "Of course, I know very well that in this empire, in the army, if even you Adric can't be trusted, then no one else can say anything loyal, so I believe in your loyalty." ” But when he said this, the emperor changed his words, and his eyes, which were already a little twilight, suddenly revealed a bit of sharpness "It's just, Adric, what makes me hesitate is your loyalty, whether it's to me or to this empire" Adric frowned, and pondered for a moment before replying: "Your Majesty and the Empire, aren't they one?"
"It's not."
The emperor raised his eyebrows and sneered: "I am the emperor, Byzantium is still Byzantium, I am not the emperor anymore, Byzantium is still Byzantium" These words exploded like thunder, and they burst out of the emperor's mouth, but as if with infinite coercion, Adric stood there with his head held high, but he lowered his eyebrows and said nothing.
Finally, he shook his head slowly: "What Your Majesty said, I don't understand, and I don't want to understand that I'm just a soldier."
"I don't want to understand" Cantos hummed, stared at him for a long time, but suddenly turned around, walked back to the table and sat down, and looked Adric in the eyes: "What I want, is that you don't want to understand" With that, the emperor waved his hand and threw a roll of paper on the table, which landed at Adric's feet with a snap.
"I handed this over to you, I handed it over to you" The emperor's eyes suddenly changed color, and he squeezed out the last sentence from his mouth word by word, as if he roared in a low voice, and roared: "I also give you the future of the empire" Adric bent down and picked up the scroll of paper and slowly opened it, saw the handwriting on it, and the traces of signatures and seals, his body shook, his body straightened, he raised and looked at the emperor in front of him, and the emperor Kantos the Great seemed to be very tired and weak, as if the brief outburst of emotions just now had exhausted the little energy he had left, and he was half leaning back in his chair at the moment, and his breath was a little short and disordered.
"Adric, I know very well that you are not loyal to me, but to the Empire," Cantos the Great gasped, his breathing sound was like that of a broken bellows, "I am not without people who are loyal to me.
But the funny thing is that these people can't make it happen and you, can" The emperor pressed the armrests of the chair with both hands and leaned forward a few points: "They are loyal to me, because I am the emperor, but the emperor can no longer be the emperor, but you finally imperial Byzantium, forever Byzantium" Adric's chest was raised high, the excitement on his face was revealed, and finally, he let out a long breath, and the look in his eyes was very complicated, with gratitude, shock, admiration, and more of all, a trace of indescribable awe "You, are you willing" The Emperor stared at Adric's eyes: "This matter, if you leave it to others, even if it is handed over to you, I am worried that you will not be able to do it well, but except for you, I have no one else to trust."
Adric pinched the scroll, slowly raised his right hand, slammed his chest, and replied to the emperor in a solemn tone never before in his life.
"Even if it is a cliff ahead, I will go forward bravely, Your Majesty, this is my oath to you."
Emperor Kantos was relieved, he breathed a heavy sigh of relief, and waved his hand weakly: "Okay, you go down" Adric nodded silently, turned around and left, only after taking two steps, the emperor's deep voice came from behind him.
"Come back this time, the affairs of the Senate are now in your responsibility, so don't be distracted by other things.
Although you are a member of the Senate, I believe that at such a time you can distinguish between what is more important. ” Adric didn't speak, just paused slightly, then took a deep breath and continued out of the room.
Behind him, the emperor's eyes unconsciously revealed a faint disappointment.
Walking out of the main hall, there was a court warrior next to him to return the sword, Adric carefully put the sword on, and went down the steps step by step, but at this moment he seemed to press a mountain in his heart, and the letter of appointment written by the emperor himself was in his arms, pressing the position of his heart, so that Adric even took a few deep breaths, but he couldn't dispel the depression for half a minute.
He has no lack of courage and loyalty, and even, when he saw this appointment, the warm blood and pride that had cooled for many years in his heart was also re-stimulated, Your Majesty, after all, he still made up his mind But after really accepting this letter of appointment, he also knew in his heart that from the moment he walked out of that door, the road under his feet would be full of open guns and hidden arrows It's a big deal to get back on the ground.
This domineering general had a horizontal heart in his heart, mentioning a little bit of the heroism of a soldier, and the smile on the corner of his mouth seemed to contain an absolute taste.
Walking down the steps, suddenly there was a figure walking slowly, the figure, gray linen robe, cloth boots under his feet, walking, indescribable kind of elegant and quiet, as if in this solemn and solemn hall, but he seemed to wander in his own garden, that a hidden detached taste of the surrounding environment, jumped down The two slowly approached, but Adric's eyes didn't even look at this person, and he wanted to walk away directly, his body was staggered, but the man suddenly seemed to laugh: "General." ” Adric ignored it, and still strode forward, and the man behind him spoke again, without a trace of anger in his tone, and shouted with a smile: "General Adric." ” Adric finally stopped, frowned tightly, and turned his head to look at the man, his eyes were very indifferent: "Mr.
Cavishir, Your Excellency should understand that there seems to be no common topic between us. ” Cavishil stood there, smiling without half a bit of fireworks, his face was old, but his eyes were as quiet and gentle as a young woman: "General." ” "If you have anything to say, just say it" Adric looked at Cavishir coldly: "The saying that the Tao is different and does not conspire with each other is still what you said back then." ” Cavishil shook his head lightly and smiled kindly, "I've seen that little kid." ” Adric's eyes changed suddenly, and then he relaxed, as if he didn't care: "I'm not surprised that in Osgilia, no, in the whole empire, the whole continent, there are still things you don't know."
Cavihill looked into the other man's eyes, there was a little inscrutable smile in his eyes, and he whispered, "I want to say to you about that child, yes." ” Adric Huo Ran changed color, his eyes burst into a fiery light, staring at Cavishir, at this moment, he even flashed a trace of murderous intent in his eyes "Cavishir" the general seemed to show his fangs as a tiger: "That person, you'd better not touch him, this is my bottom line, otherwise hum" The murderous aura like a landslide shrouded his body, and Cavishir's expression was still so breezy that he didn't even have a trace of fluctuation in his eyes, allowing the other party's anger to flourish.
Adric's face was full of anger, he turned around and left, and after walking a few steps, a sentence suddenly came from behind him from a distance: "Via, I sent her to Odin a few days ago." ” Adric's body stiffened, but this time he finally did not stop, striding forward and continuing to walk away, but if you look closely, you will find that his hands hanging by his side have been clenched into fists, and the joints are white To be continued 〗Hanyu Pinyin "" is simple and easy to remember:
