Emperor Fire

The carriage stopped, and there was a slight rustling sound.

Suo Suo stayed where he was, stretched out his head, and stared in the direction of the carriage with wide eyes.

Is it Heiden?If it was Heidein, then Dilling must be nearby, right?

He heard his heart beating wildly.

All kinds of encounters in Gu Lan came to my mind.Queen Marina's beautiful and ferocious face kept circling in his mind like a nightmare, making him eager to find a warm embrace to confide in.

But no matter how he looked around, there was still darkness beyond the forest, and there was no sound, and the surrounding was eerily quiet.

Soso hugged the tree trunk with both hands, his palms were full of sweat.

Do you want to go and have a look?He struggled violently.I don't want to pass by Di Lin, but I'm afraid that the joy will be empty.

After much hesitation, he finally made a decision.At this time, he had to verify it himself. If he let this opportunity slip away, he would definitely regret it.Thinking of this, he firmly took the first step, and then...

stop.

On his neck, the coldness belonging to the blade made his whole body stiff, and his scalp was so numb that he could barely feel it.

The owner of the sword hides in the darkness without moonlight.

"Wandering alone in the forest so late..." The voice in the dark was unexpectedly pleasant, with a bit of lightness and playfulness, and Suo Suo could almost imagine the corners of the other party's lips raised. "Are you lost?"

Suo Suo felt the blade move away slowly, and immediately jumped back, warning: "Who are you?"

"This is the question I want to ask you too. Who are you? Why are you here?"

"I asked first." Despite being afraid, Soso persisted.

"That makes sense. Well, let me introduce myself first, my name is Hayden."

Soso disappointed.It was Hayden... not Hydein.

A cluster of flames lit up.

A handsome young man with blond hair held a small gold torch in his hand and looked at him with a smile, "It's your turn to come back to my question."

"My name is Mike." Soso whispered.

Hayden smiled.He smiled very charmingly, as if nothing in the world could not be solved, making people feel infinite warmth and hope. "A very popular name. So, why are you here?"

Suo Suo said: "I want to go to Shamanlier's military camp."

"Shamanlier's barracks?" Hayden raised his eyebrows, "From the direction of the Banding Empire barracks to Shamanlier's barracks?"

Soso explained: "It was an accident, I oversteered in the car."

"Okay, if you don't mind, can you tell me what you are doing at Shamanliel's barracks?"

Soso became alert again.

Hayden said: "If it's not too much to ask, I can help you."

"Help me?" Soso looked behind him.

Hayden seemed to know what he was thinking, nodded and said: "Yes, I have a carriage, and the horse is very strong."

Soso hesitated, and said, "I want to see Prince Andre."

"reason?"

"This is my private matter." Suo Suo realized that he had said too much.But under Hayden's friendly smile, his mouth always involuntarily revealed what the other party wanted to know.

"But now it's our business."

Soso looked at him puzzled.

Hayden said, "Haven't you heard my name?" His expression looked a little hurt.

Suo Suo asked, "Is it famous?"

"It's a little worse than the Duke of Baseco, because I was born later." Hayden smiled confidently.

Suo Suo didn't feel disgusted, "Are you also a soldier of Shamanliel?"

"I'm a soldier, but I'm not from Shamanlier, but from the Kading Empire." Hayden smiled and looked at Soso's face that was completely drained of blood, "My full name is Hayden Nafist, the current Marshal of the Banding Empire!"

"I, I'm not a bad person." Suo Suo didn't know why he said this sentence.

Hayden smiled and said, "What a coincidence, neither am I. Then let's go."

Soso took two steps back, "Where are you going?"

"Have a drink. For us who are not bad guys." Hayden inserted the sword in his hand into the scabbard hanging at his waist, and made a gesture of invitation, "This is a warm invitation."

Soso shook his head and said, "I can't go. I'm going to find Prince Andre."

"Although I really want to help you, this request is a bit too much for the Marshal of the Banding Empire." Hayden said, "If His Majesty the Emperor knows about this, I will soon be charged with treason."

Suo Suo's eyes were covered with sadness, "Treason is terrible."

Hayden nodded and said, "Yes, His Royal Highness Prince Vantra."

Suo Suo let his eyes widen, "You, how do you know that I am...I am..."

"Guess, thank you for confirming it for me." Hayden looked at the sky, "Bandits are infested in this area, and many sentries have died, whether it is the Banding Empire or Shamanlier, I think we should leave here first. "

Suo Suo's feet were firmly nailed to the ground, "Are you going to take me as a hostage?"

"No need for now." Hayden said, "Actually, my relationship with Duke Baseco is not as bad as you imagine."

Suo Suo said: "Not needing it for now doesn't mean it won't be needed in the future."

Hayden replied very seriously: "I never make promises that may expire."

"Bibalafierdin-yaloo..." Soso turned and ran while chanting the incantation.

But Hayden's sword was at least a hundred times faster than his movement, and the small slope that was not even knee high was being stepped under his shoe with one foot.

As soon as Suo Suo turned halfway, the sword rested on his neck again.

Hayden smiled and said, "I sincerely invite you, Your Highness." The light from the torch in his hand shone on Soso's face, and the watery light shone slightly in those black and white eyes.

Sosuo clenched his hands into fists, as if speaking with all his strength, "If you use me as a hostage, you will definitely fail. I will definitely not drag Dilling down."

"Dilling?" Hayden raised his eyebrows at the sudden, unfamiliar and familiar name, "As a soldier, if I have no choice, I will never threaten anyone with any despicable means. People, whether it's Dilling Baseko or Andre Baseko."

Sosuo felt a little relieved, "Then why are you arresting me?"

"It's an invitation." Hayden laughed, revealing two deep wine pits on his face, "I said, I want to buy you a drink."

The guards who followed Hayden were a little surprised that their marshal brought back a white and tender young man after going out for a stroll, but they quickly hid their emotions in their hearts until Hayden and Soso got into the carriage together.

The deputy captain of the guard quietly walked to the side of the captain of the guard and asked in a voice that only two people could hear: "Does the marshal want to change his taste?"

The captain of the guard said: "I found... wild game in the forest?"

The deputy captain said: "I always thought the Marshal only liked women."

The captain of the guard said: "Maybe it's because it's hard to find female game in the forest."

The deputy captain said: "Oh! If the marshal informs him in advance, maybe I can find a way for him."

Hayden poked his head out of the carriage suddenly, smiled at their backs, and said, "I suddenly feel that poultry is also good."

The captain of the guard and the deputy captain of the guard turned their heads with blank expressions.

Hayden said: "For example, the starling who loves to chew his tongue."

"..."

The captain of the guard said: "By the way, have you found out the origins of those robbers?"

The deputy captain of the guard said: "Oh, yes, strong... robbers. But they didn't show up today."

The captain of the guard said: "Perhaps he hid because he heard the marshal's reputation."

Hayden smiled and said, "Are you sure it's not because you guys leaked the news that I'm out hunting wild game?"

The captain of the guard and the deputy captain of the guard looked at each other, and at the same time bowed their heads and said: "We know we are wrong."

"Very good. I don't care what method you use, I just hope that when I wake up tomorrow, I can see two obvious dark circles on your face." Hayden finally retracted his head.

Captain of the guard, deputy captain of the guard: "..."

"Go for a long-distance run?"

"Still lifting weights?"

"...I have a more direct way."

"what?"

"How about we punch each other?"

"I have two eyes, I need two punches."

"You overestimate the distance between your eyes."

"..."
