The cute pet of the empire

The mainland calendar, 455 years, September [-]th.

This piece of land has not fallen a drop of rain for two consecutive months, and the sun is still shining brightly this day.

150 miles away from the wealthy city of Baron is the holy city of Shah.

The holy city is not big, less than a quarter of the city of Baron, but it is majestic and solemn.

During the reign of Shah King Leuk III, the city was controlled by a Shah priest, and priests were sent here to preside over various rituals.

After Leuk III was defeated and fled, the city was taken over by Royce's army.

The temple building in the city is located in the center of the city. Whenever the sun rises at noon, the sunlight will pass through a convex lens made of crystal stone on the top of the temple, and at the eye of the Holy God on the ground. Leaves a bright spot.

There are many such temples in the territory of Shah. In the past, after the Royce army occupied the town of Shah, they would send their priests to the temple.

But this time, Royce's army just surrounded the place, but didn't intend to enter it at all.

Ten days ago, those soldiers rushed here round after round, as if they were preparing for some grand ceremony.

Many people speculate whether this is Royce's king Luo Huan planning to proclaim himself emperor here.

He now owns a large piece of land east of the vast Baron, and the area he rules is almost as large as the area ruled by King Shah, so it is a matter of course to proclaim himself emperor.

But to the surprise of many people, the reason why Luo Huan sent troops to the holy city, cleaned the streets, and redecorated this place that had been trampled by iron hooves was because he was planning to get married here.

And his marriage partner left all the Shahites stunned.

The 24-year-old handsome and powerful young king married a plain-looking woman who was five years older than him.

And when the woman's name was announced, many Shahites were shocked from the bottom of their hearts.

That was King Shah's former concubine, one of Shah's three priests, and the Aixing priest who hadn't shown his face for a long time.

"Luo Huan is about to marry Ai Xing. The king of Royce has finally merged with theocracy and become a person who is truly qualified to rule Shah."

After hearing the news, most Shahe people recognized Luo Huan's status from the bottom of their hearts.Especially those Shah people who were captured by Luo Huan, after hearing the news, happily let go of their psychological burden, and no longer have to fear that their souls will fall into hell because they betrayed King Shah.

The sun rose to the top of the sky, Luo Huan's new clothes were ready, he turned to look at the bride beside him.

This woman's face was painted with oil paint, she had no special expression, she looked a little cold, but her every move seemed noble and elegant.

Luo Huan was very satisfied with such a queen, and he was even more satisfied that this woman didn't talk much, and he didn't need to spend any effort to deal with it.

He just turned his head and asked the guards around him again in his free time: "Did you go to see my Jon in the morning? How is his spirit?"

"Your Majesty..." the guard finally showed his impatient tone to his king for the first time, "You have asked me ten times today... Jon was taking a nap in the morning, and his leg injury has healed a lot. In fact, what a pity, if it wasn't injured, as a divine beast, it should have come to your wedding."

Luo Huan's eyelids drooped slightly, and what he couldn't get out of his eyes was the night ten days ago, that black-haired young man was slightly arched towards him and his shoulders shrugged.

He felt a wave of irritability in his heart, and in order to conceal this unease, he straightened his back.

The poets in the army began to recite hymns, and the band played music. Luo Huan slowly stretched out his hand in front of Ai Xing: "Come with me to the temple."

Ai Xing's fingers were cold and carried on the back of Luo Huan's hand.

The two got up together, mounted their horses, and walked side by side.

The sun was glaring, the weather was hot, and the road was long.

Luo Huan passed by his army slowly.

The infantry phalanx, the heavy cavalry phalanx, the Shah army, the elite cavalry, the king's personal guard, and the leopards who stood neatly.

"Your Majesty, I heard that you have a white southern leopard, which is the best of these leopards. Why didn't you see it today?" Standing in front of the stone steps into the temple, Ai Xing suddenly asked.

Luo Huan's mind was in chaos at the moment, he was taken aback when he heard this sentence, turned his head subconsciously, and saw his bride.

"It's not something you should ask about." Luo Huan's tone was blunt, "You won't see it in the future."

Ai Xing lowered his eyes, these things are really not his business.

She followed Luo Huan obediently, walking towards the stone steps of the temple step by step.

The wedding was held entirely in accordance with the customs of the Shah people. Luo Huan's relatives and friends, as well as Shah's elders, would be waiting in the temple to witness the marriage in front of the statue.

As the sky became darker, Luo Huan's generals and ministers, as well as his Shah generals, all entered the temple, stood still, and arranged their positions.

At the last second of sunset, the wedding ceremony will officially take place.

Both Luo Huan and Ai Xing were quietly waiting for this moment to come.

At the same moment, King Shah of Murang, the capital city of Shah, who was thousands of miles away from here, asked the servant beside him with some trepidation: "Do you think General Russ will successfully prevent Luo Huan's wedding? My God, I really...how did I forget about Ai Xing! Luo Huan actually found this woman!"

Facing the increasingly eccentric emperor recently, the servant did not dare to speak at all, so he could only serve with his head down.

Luke III paced the palace several times, still very worried: "If the information is good, Luo Huan's wedding will be held today, I really can't figure it out... How can Russ stop his wedding... Then It's almost impossible! Look, it's getting dark...Luo Huan has already got the priest..."

In the temple, thousands of candles were lit at the same time. Governor Baron, who was the officiant, mentioned it in one breath, and his powerful voice echoed in the temple: "I declare that Luo Huan, the king of Royce, and Ai Xing, the priest of Shah, , and thus, under the witness of God, become..."

"Your Majesty!" A voice from outside the temple broke the beautiful atmosphere here.

Luo Huan suddenly turned his head and saw a soldier rushing towards him.

The temple is heavily guarded, and ordinary people cannot enter at all.

He subconsciously pressed the dagger on his waist, but in the next second, he recognized the soldier who rushed in.

It was Mao Xiaohua's partner in the infantry phalanx, Cheng Xiaoqi, a soldier who followed the army from Royce to here.

Luo Huan deliberately asked this soldier to accompany Mao Xiaohua before departure.

But at this time, Cheng Xiaoqi's face was covered with blood, and there were knife marks on his armor. It was obvious that he rushed here after a fierce battle.

The infantry general frowned slightly, and Federer, who was the law enforcement officer in the army, was already quickly replaying the regulations promulgated by Luo Huan in his mind, and was considering what crime to convict this soldier who broke in without permission.

"Go down! This is not a place for you to trespass!" The guards outside the temple stopped Cheng Xiaoqi, but Luo Huan threw away Ai Xing's hand and walked towards the soldier at the temple gate with big strides.

"What happened?" Luo Huan supported Cheng Xiaoqi with his hand, he found Cheng Xiaoqi trembling uncontrollably, wondering why this brave soldier was trembling.

But after a while, he discovered that it was his arm that was trembling, because his arm was trembling, which made the soldier who almost fell on his arm in front of him tremble uncontrollably.

Luo Huan took a deep breath and controlled his arms.

"Baron... Barron City was attacked... Russ, Russ kidnapped Jon!"

With a crash, the lightning and thunder in the sky almost at the same time, drowning Cheng Xiaoqi's voice.

For a moment, Luo Huan felt his mind go blank. He couldn't hear what Cheng Xiaoqi was saying, but...he seemed to hear it again.

"What did you say?" Luo Huan murmured.

"Jon, Jon was taken away... Russ came too fast, I don't know how they sneaked into the city... We thought those Shah people just took the opportunity to attack the city..."

"What are you talking about!!" Luo Huan suddenly yelled loudly.

"The city of Baron is still there, and those Shah people's sneak attacks have been repulsed..."

"No! I didn't ask you this!" Luo Huan almost yelled, his hands were trembling uncontrollably, his eyes were red, as if spouting fire, "Jon! What's wrong with Jon!"

"It was taken away... I didn't see it clearly at all, until I caught up with it, I saw that the man was Ruth... We wanted to catch this big fish, but he ran too fast, and it was impossible for a human to catch it." Chased..."

Crash, another muffled thunder rang in the sky above the temple, Luo Huan only felt a blankness in front of his eyes, and he found himself suddenly unable to think at this moment.

There has never been such a blank, even when his father Philip died, even when he was hunted down by Philip, Luo Huan's brain has never been like this.

His eyes were dull, but his expression was ferocious and terrifying, like a beast in a state of madness. The veins on his forehead protruded, and his arms tightened, as if all the muscles in his body were out of his control.

"Your Majesty, the city of Baron has not fallen..." Generals who had never seen Luo Huan before gathered around one after another, "Don't worry too much..."

"They have repelled the Shah's attack..."

"We already have priests, and it will be overwhelming in the future!"

The governor of Barron walked up to Luo Huan cautiously.

Such Luo Huan made him feel scared, and he asked cautiously: "Your Majesty...the wedding has not been completed yet...it's not good to miss the auspicious time...continue the wedding..."

"Wedding?!" Luo Huan seemed to wake up from a nightmare, his face turned pale in an instant, and immediately congested with blood.

He snapped off his newly made gown, leaving his bridegroom's crown on the ground.

Sid, Filger, Lan Rada and others immediately stepped forward and surrounded Luo Huan.

"Luo Huan! What are you doing?"

"The wedding is not over yet, you have to hurry back, at least you have to finish the marriage!"

"Princess Aixing is still watching, you should at least give her some face."

"This marriage was discussed and agreed by all of us. You suddenly don't want to marry, what can you do?"

"The Shah people are watching!"

Luo Huan only felt that his head was buzzing, and what was shaking in front of his eyes was the shoulders of the black-haired young man who fell on the ground after he said that sentence that night.

"Attacking Baron is just a conspiracy of the Shah people. Their purpose is to prevent the wedding. Your Majesty must not fall into the trap."

"They just took Jon away...a leopard...it doesn't interfere with the wedding at all."

"Your Majesty, are you not married yet..."

"Marry?! What kind of marriage!" Luo Huan suddenly pushed his general away, falling into complete madness for the first time.

He put on his armor and ran towards the entrance of the temple, where his horse ran.

"Your Majesty!" Someone grabbed Luo Huan's arm, "Baron is safe and sound, Shah's priest is very important to us! And you only lost a leopard, we can go and get Jon back after the wedding is over. "

Luo Huan stopped suddenly, looking at everything around him, he suddenly felt that he was ridiculous.

Before that, he never knew that that leopard was so important to him.

Even when he told himself to break up and fight him, Luo Huan didn't think he would lose him.

But now, at this moment, when he suddenly realized that it was possible for him to truly lose it, he discovered that the position of that person was much more important than he imagined.

He looked at Priest Shah standing in the center of the temple, the woman who almost became his wife, and bowed deeply: "I'm sorry, I... can't marry you... If you are willing to help me, what I said is not true." Change, I will give you the best treatment. If you don't want to, I will use other methods to conquer Shah!"

"His Majesty!"

"Luo Huan, are you crazy?!"

"Luo Huan, you actually said that in front of the Shah people..."

"Luo Huan..."

But those cries were all left behind by Luo Huan. For the first time, he realized that if he lost his most important person, even if he conquered all the places, even if he traveled all over the world, it would be meaningless.

He got on his horse and galloped away.

And his personal guards, after hesitating for a moment, followed closely behind him, catching up with him.

"Luo Huan!" Sid rode his horse and caught up with him panting, "I know you're going to find Jon, but why don't you ask where Jon was taken captive?"

Luo Huan didn't look back, he rode his own horse, simply said: "Say!"

Lan Rada also caught up at this moment: "You should have brought the leopard to the wedding back then... It was the same last time, when we were in El..."

Luo Huan's voice was low: "Shut up!"

"I asked the soldiers who came from Barron, as well as the spies in the army!" Filger also caught up, his riding skills were always better than Luo Huan's, and now he reined in his horse in front of Luo Huan, Blocking his way, "Your leopard was in the city of Eaton not far from Baron, that is, when facing the arrival of our army, it was the first city to surrender and retained the established Shah army. This time The ones brought by Russ to attack Baron City were the Shah soldiers from Eaton City."

"Don't stop me, I will go there myself!" The lightning in the sky lit up again, and Luo Huan's face looked extremely ferocious.

"You ran in the wrong direction, to the north!" The cavalry captain who followed obviously knew his king's plan, "Your Majesty, do you plan to go back to Baron City to deploy troops first, or is the speed of your troops?"

Luo Huan almost gritted his teeth, turned his horse's head, and ran in the right direction: "Tell my soldiers, the order that gave them strict military discipline earlier will be invalidated in Eaton City! Give me a bloodbath in Eaton City!"

"Dare to take Jon away, dare to collude with King Shah, and dare to fight against me, I will no longer be kind to them!"

"What about your wedding?" Sid was still a little unwilling, "Priest Ai Xing is a gift from the heavens to our army, do you really not plan to marry her?"

After hearing such a question, Luo Huan's heart tightened suddenly: "I...in this life... I will never..." Luo Huan's voice was hoarse and deep, but it became extremely firm in an instant, "I will never... Yes, marry anyone else!"
