The cute pet of the empire

When Shah's envoy Bo Boer stayed in Royce for No. 20 days, Luo Huan invited him to participate in his military parade.

This is Luo Huan's first military parade since he took the throne.

Bo Boer, who was born as a eunuch and likes luxury, has no interest in military parades. When he was in Shah, he often participated in such ceremonies.

It's just a group of people lined up and walking around, and then Shah King Luke rode a horse, wearing gold armor, and took his five thousand elite guards to show off to other soldiers how far his guards could go Neat, how beautiful the clothes are.

If it was in Shahe, Bo Boer, who was the emperor's close minister that day, would put on the most gorgeous clothes, put on light gauze, follow the emperor, and accept the soldiers who stood in a row like tree stumps. "Long live" sound.

But now in a remote place like Royce, there is definitely no Shah's gauze that is as light as a cicada's wing, and judging from the attitude of those soldiers towards Luo Huan, they are more like friends. During the military parade And definitely not shouting "Long live" and kneeling down.

Without beautiful clothes, without the salute of "long live", and without the etiquette of kneeling, Bob is not interested in this military parade at all.

It's just a group of country bumpkins, holding some spears made of bamboo poles, sticking them there like a bunch of irregular wooden stakes, and they still need to bask in the sun, which is not worth the loss.

But he couldn't stand Luo Huan's invitation. After hesitating again and again, and asking for the white leopard for the third time but Luo Huan vaguely dismissed it, he finally agreed to participate in the military parade.

It was a very hot day, and the sun was very bright early in the morning. After getting up, Bob had already bathed three times and used three big buckets of rose petals.

When he went out, the entourage he brought immediately opened the big umbrella and covered him under the umbrella.

When he resisted the intense heat and walked to the gate of the palace, Bo Bo'er was already full of complaints against Luo Huan in his heart.

But when he saw Luo Huan riding his horse at the gate of the palace, he was still a little shocked.

Ro Hwan doesn't have golden armor - that's obvious since Royce is poor.

Luo Huan also did not have the 5000-member golden guard—this is also obvious.

Luo Huan was wearing an iron chain mail, which wasn't very attractive in style, and he didn't have a helmet. His lower body was wearing a short armor skirt. His legs were bare, and he didn't have boots, only a pair of leather sandals.

As for his guards, there were only fifty people, and they were dressed exactly like the king. They couldn't see any dignity, but they all made people feel poor and poor.

Luo Huan rode his horse to Bo Bo'er, and introduced his personal guard to him: "This is my personal guard captain, Sid!"

Bob was a little unable to react: "Sid...is he from General Blue Sid's family?"

Sid smiled slightly at Bob: "Yes, I am his only son, Nuya Sid."

Bob immediately stood up from his gorgeous carriage, unbelievable: "General Sid... the son of General Sid is actually in the king's bodyguard? Shouldn't he stay at home and inherit the title as the eldest son?" ?"

Sid smiled, and casually punched Luo Huan beside him: "What's the point of being pampered at home? Luo Huan and I are good friends. We live together, fight together, and guard the place we should guard together!"

Bob felt that the son of a general who held real power in Royce probably had a bit of a bag in his head.

In Shah, this kind of situation will never happen, and it is even more impossible for a courtier to be able to fight with the emperor casually.

But when the fifty personal guards walked over one by one to introduce me, Bob's legs began to feel a little weak.

This is definitely not King Shah's kind of humble origin, except for the guards formed by young men who obey orders and cannot resist, and exist only to protect the emperor's integrity.

Everyone in the guards can be said to be of Royce's aristocratic background, either he holds an important position in the army, or his father holds a heavy soldier.

But these people are all willing to come to the palace to serve as guards, and they eat and live with the king, wearing armor that can't stand on the table, and being exposed to the sun is also very emotional.

Bo Bo'er immediately realized that the new Luo Huan was more charismatic than his father.At least, these noble children are willing to do anything with him, and it is difficult to separate them.

"These are my partners!" Luo Huan led his personal guards and walked towards Bo Bo'er, "I entrust my own safety and life to them, because they are worthy of delivery! Let's go, soldiers in the city Besides, I may have been anxiously waiting!"

After finishing speaking, Luo Huan turned his horse's head and ran towards the wide bluestone road outside the palace, and the special guards behind him also followed behind Luo Huan, and everyone rode Skilled, running no slower than Luo Huan, and some of them can even make a fortune on horseback.

Bob felt that the scene in front of him was simply unbelievable!

In Shah, half of these noble children should not know how to ride a horse.Not to mention playing tricks on horseback, I am afraid that out of hundreds of noble children, only two or three can be found.

But how many dignitaries can there be in a small place like Royce?But they were able to find so many people, and all of them were amazing.

The weather was hot, Bob took out his fragrant handkerchief and wiped the sweat on his forehead, and decided to go back and tell King Shah about this scene, and let him be alert to Royce, definitely not a country to be messed with.

When Luo Huan was in the city, because there were residents on the street, he didn't run fast, but after he left the city, he started to gallop, and his personal guards were not willing to ignore him, and they all galloped away. .

No one gave way because of Luo Huan's identity. Some of them ran in front of Luo Huan, and some ran behind him. The cavalry raised waves of smoke and dust, which only choked Bo Bo'er who was following behind.

At the foot of the barren hill outside the city, where Luo Huan inherited the grand ceremony, tens of thousands of soldiers had already been there.

Backed by the barren hills, there was a high platform built. Bober and his followers sat on the high platform, while Luo Huan rode his horse and stood under the platform. When his soldiers saw the king coming, they all drew their daggers from their waists. , Hit the spear in his hand, and the sound shook the sky in an instant. Although the soldiers were tanned, they were full of energy and fighting spirit, and their eyes showed the pride of seeing their own king.

"It's not the same as our Shah! During the military parade of King Shah, the soldiers below were much more serious than this." Bo Boer sighed to his followers.

The entourage immediately replied: "Yes, there are no rules. During our emperor's military parade, those soldiers were honest!"

A general walked out of the phalanx of soldiers, bowed to Luo Huan, and said, "Your Majesty, the team has been reorganized, and we are waiting for you!"

Luo Huan nodded, and rode his horse towards the right flank of the team.

Bo Boer thought that Luo Huan would walk around in front of these teams like King Shah, and then finish with a few words.

But to his surprise, it was Luo Huan who brought his personal guards to the light cavalry team on the left wing, stood directly inside, and became a member of this team.

The herald next to him immediately issued an order to the entire phalanx, simulating that there was an enemy ahead, and fought quickly.

The infantry phalanx marched forward, and three rows of spears crossed. When encountering an imaginary enemy, they stabbed, retracted, and changed various formations according to the command of the commander, without any confusion.

The right-wing heavy cavalry set off heavy sandstorms on the dust, and rushed forward like a ground fortress.

And Luo Huan's left cavalry remained motionless.

It wasn't until the imaginary rehearsal, when it came to the critical moment of pursuit, that he issued an order, leading his team to sprint away.

At the foot of the entire barren mountain, a large area of ​​yellow dust was raised, and the team kept changing various formations, as if a giant dragon was stirring up waves, like a long river flowing around the mountains and rivers.

But even so, the entire team, different phalanxes, and different arms were not in the slightest confusion.

As the enemy's password officer, he kept verbally describing the imaginary enemy's response, and various people with different flags shuttled through the team to convey orders.

And Luo Huan, who led the left-wing cavalry, was still able to issue various orders when chasing the imaginary enemy, and conveyed the emergencies and solutions he encountered to every soldier through layer-by-layer communication.

Outflanking, encircling, strangling, even when Luo Huan was far away from the central battlefield, the generals leading the infantry phalanx were able to deal with all kinds of emergencies without any confusion.

The military parade below was in full swing.And Bo Boer on the stage couldn't sit still anymore.

He kept wiping his sweat with a handkerchief, and he didn't know if it was because of the hot weather or something else, but he felt his legs were a little weak.

"Royce is demonstrating against our Shah Empire, it's a provocation!" Bob said to his entourage, "Where is the king who leads the troops to fight in person! Our emperor has never been like this! He just stood in the carriage Come on, watch the battle situation in the distance!"

The entourage nodded vigorously: "Yes! So they are barbarians. I heard that Luo Huan has been like this all year round since he was 16 years old... His father Philip likes to be in the heavy cavalry because it moves slowly. But Luo Huan likes to stay in the left wing light cavalry , because you can chase the prey you want, and the lethality is greater..."

Bo Boer continued to wipe the sweat from his brow, pointed at the infantry phalanx below who were constantly changing formations, and could stab into battle at any time, and said: "This is intentional! No one can make those soldiers who are not enlightened walk so neatly. , let alone holding a weapon, listening to orders like this on the battlefield!"

The entourage handed Bob a glass of ice water: "That's right! To make it like this, they have to prepare for at least a year and train every day... But... Luo Huan has only been on the throne for a few months... and these days there is still I really didn't see them training...no...it wouldn't be the same as usual..."

Bo Bo'er scratched his neckline uneasily, he felt that the neckline was a bit tight: "Luo Huanchong is too far ahead, he will be killed!"

"But he has [-] elite cavalry around him... just... if there is a real fight, maybe it's just someone else who gets killed..."

Bo Bo'er was a little angry: "Luo Huan will be betrayed on the battlefield by some generals with ulterior motives!"

The attendant thought about it seriously, and then said cautiously: "But... have you forgotten the 50-man personal guard? They all follow Luo Huan... If there is really danger, the other generals will ignore it. life to save his own son..."

"They only have tens of thousands of soldiers, and it is absolutely impossible to resist our Shah Empire's million-strong army! He deliberately frightened me and threatened me! I will go back and tell His Majesty the emperor about this scene, and let him send troops to conquer Royce!" Bo Bo A little angry, he wanted to stand up from his seat, but his legs gave way and he fell again.

The entourage immediately agreed with his master: "That's for sure! But... His Majesty's recent interest is not fighting..."

Bob's wilted all of a sudden, "That's right, he recently adopted a concubine from El... who likes big cats... but the generals on the frontier are enough to make Luo Huan drink a pot!"

"But our team stationed at the border of Royce..." The attendant didn't speak at all.

They came from the border. On the vast border, Shah only sent less than 2 people to garrison. Even if there were 2 people, more than half of them were amateur soldiers with rusty weapons and professional farmers.

The soldiers that Luo Huan brought out today are not at the same level at all. If the two sides really meet, it is conceivable that they will be destroyed!

"I don't want to stay in Royce anymore! It makes me feel uncomfortable here, and the weather is so hot!" Bob almost tore his Tangier collar, "I've almost done the inspection of Royce, and the tribute is also The harvest is about the same... If there is less food and cloth, let's have less, I think they are quite poor!"

"That's right, His Majesty the Emperor doesn't care about such things at all. We can't finish the food we got from El. Luo Huan sent a lot of rare things, which is quite interesting. We will take those handicrafts, gold and silver Give the jewels to His Majesty the Emperor, and he will surely praise us for our ability to handle affairs!"

Bob thought for a while, and felt that what his attendant said made sense: "Well, I have also seen those jewels. Your Majesty, Princess El of Xinna, will definitely like it very much. She can help me say a few more words in front of Your Majesty. Good word."

"That's it! Don't worry about that, let's prepare and leave the day after tomorrow! Oh, by the way, don't forget to bring that white leopard, this is the most precious gift we can give to the emperor!"

Just when Bo Bo'er finished speaking, a stray arrow flew from the battlefield and stuck right at Bo Bo'er's feet, causing Bo Bo'er to shrink back in fright, and with a crash, the stool fell down.

"What are they doing!!" Bob cursed loudly, he looked down the stage, and found that in the infantry phalanx, the bows and arrows of those soldiers were ready to go, and the target - was himself!

"Luo Huan! Luo Huan, you dare to kill me! I, King Shah, will definitely lead millions of troops to crush Royce!" Bo Bo'er screamed, his voice was sharp, full of anger and fear—those If any soldier is not careful, if he releases an arrow, he will kill himself!

If he is really dead, even if the emperor comes to avenge him, what's the use of it!

Luo Huan immediately rode out from the team, and the guards around him always followed him at any time.

Luo Huan rode his horse and ran to the archers, ordered them to put away their bows and arrows, and went to Bob'er in person to apologize: "I'm sorry, it wasn't intentional...they got into the situation too much, my general set the imaginary enemy in The location of the high platform..."

Bo Bo'er snorted, seeing Luo Huan who was sweating profusely but more energetic, and seeing the strong muscles in his arms and legs, he felt even more uncomfortable.

Especially, when he saw a bloodstain on Luo Huan's arm, he felt as if he had been stabbed too.

"You are bleeding..." Bo Bo'er's voice was a little hoarse, "You are the king, how could anyone dare to hurt you!"

Luo Huan waved his sword nonchalantly: "I fought with the soldiers, and it's not uncommon to get injured. Who has never been injured around me? In Royce, there are only men who have been injured on the battlefield , is the real man!"

Bo Bo'er felt his mouth was dry, he took a sip of water: "I'm not feeling well, I don't want to watch the military parade, can you send me back?"

Soon, a pair of sweaty soldiers sent Bo Bo'er back, and Luo Huan didn't plan to go back now, because this drill was only half done, and there was never a reason to give up halfway.

"Sid!" Luo Huan greeted his partner, "I think he will crawl away tonight, you can send more gifts to Bob's attendant, he did a good job!"

So Sid laughed, and bribing the messenger's squire was a good deal.

Everyone also laughed, and after laughing for a while, Sid asked, "By the way, they still want Jon!"

Luo Huan laughed louder: "Then let them think about it, um... I went back a bit late today, Jon likes to run around sometimes, you go back and help me lock it up, wait for Bob and the others Let it go and let it out. Don't make any trouble."

Sid took the order and went, and Luo Huan immediately turned his horse's head, led his personal guards, and said loudly to his soldiers: "The drill is only halfway started, should the warriors continue?!"

"Go on! Go on!!!" All the soldiers had just warmed up today, and when they saw the king, their enthusiasm doubled.

Luo Huan turned back and smiled at his own guards: "Let me tell you, the soldiers like me and like to fight with me! Continue!"

In the barren mountain where no one visited and there was no need to act as a deterrent, Luo Huan and his team roared like a lion breaking free from its chains.

The real killing with violence and blood began.

On the other side, Bo Boer, who had already returned to the palace, was walking around restlessly.

"He definitely wants to kill me!" Bo Boer said, "I don't want to stay here anymore, anyway, the tribute has been put away, I don't want to stay here for a night! Tonight, no, let's go now!"

The attendant weighed the bag full of gold bribes from Royce in his waist, and immediately echoed: "I think it is a wise choice for us to leave Royce as soon as possible. It is too poor here, and there is no entertainment. Royce Although our army is formidable, Luo Huan also accepted our majesty's gift, and he doesn't seem to have any ambitions, as long as we don't mess with him, he will be honest."

Bob patted the table in front of him: "Yes! You are right. Are the tributes and things packed? Call our people, and let's go! Oh, yes, I almost forgot about the white leopard... "

Regarding Mao Xiaohua's issue, the attendant was not dazzled by the bribe: "Luo Huan doesn't seem to want to give it, it's too troublesome to negotiate...we might as well steal it and run away overnight, he can't possibly be with us for a leopard. Flip!"
