Chapter 29 The Secret 3 Years Ago
When Li Cha walked down the stairs and entered the hall on the first floor, all the guards were still guarding the entrances and exits, extremely vigilant and nervous, lest people from outside suddenly come in. After all, they are only more than twenty people, and facing the attack of ten times the number of enemies, it is difficult to resist.
They don't even know what happened in the bedroom just now, let alone why the current situation happened. They are just taking a meager salary and maintaining some unknown thing with their lives.
When a guard soldier saw Li Cha appear, he hurriedly stepped forward and said quickly in a low voice, "His Royal Highness, I'm afraid the people outside are really malicious. There are many archers aiming at the gate of the palace. Your Royal Highness, you... ...you must not appear in their sight, otherwise there will be danger ... um, by the way, what about Captain Edward?"
At the end, the guardsmen asked in confusion.
Li Cha looked at the other party, his eyes flashed and he said, "Your captain has already betrayed me and was killed by me."
"This!" The guard soldiers' eyes widened instantly, "This..."
"Speaking of which, even your captain betrayed me for the benefit of the family. In fact..." Li Cha said softly, "You guys don't need to protect me at all. It's unnecessary and meaningless, so they're gone. Bar."
"I..." The guards opened their mouths, not knowing what to say, but in the end they gritted their teeth, "No... I will always protect His Royal Highness, unless I die."
"Huh? Why? Is it worth it?" Li Cha asked.
The guards were at a loss for words. He was not a nobleman, he was just the son of a farmer. He was illiterate and couldn't make any sense. He panted, "I...I don't know either, but I...I understand, It's not right to leave the prince now. I...I don't know why Captain Edward betrayed His Royal Highness, but I...I will never betray His Royal Highness, even...even if I die..."
"Bill." Richard said.
The bodyguards were shocked, a little surprised and a little surprised. In fact, he hadn't spoken to Li Cha before today. He didn't expect Li Cha to call his name accurately, so he responded quickly.
"exist!"
"I'll give you a task." Li Cha said lightly.
"Yes, Your Royal Highness, I will definitely finish it." The guard soldier beat his chest with his right fist, knelt down on one knee, and said.
"You are now the captain of the guards. In the kitchen of the palace, there is a tunnel that leads directly to the outside of the city. Although it is a bit low, it can pass people. After a while, you will take all the guards and leave along the tunnel. No need. Busy refusing, I know you're more loyal than Edward.
But...the highest loyalty is not to die because of it, but to live and work hard because of it. Sacrifice in vain is meaningless. If you're really loyal enough, run away and live. Maybe many years later, maybe I'll find you again and let you do things. I hope you don't forget me at that time. "
"I..." The soldier named Bill stared at Richard with wide eyes, "Then... Your Highness the prince... won't you go together?"
"It's more difficult to walk through the tunnel. I prefer to walk through the main entrance. Of course, don't worry about me, I have my own arrangements. Besides, I also want to talk to someone." Li Cha said, patting his kiss The soldier's shoulders turned and walked out of the palace, his eyes sharpened.
...
Outside the palace, there are many spears, swords are drawn, and there is a chill.
However, when many soldiers saw Li Cha coming out, they were all slightly taken aback, showing a puzzled expression. Because there seems to be some discrepancy between this and the order they received.
Li Cha looked in his eyes and said, "William, come out. If you don't come out, your group will not dare to do anything. After all... I guess... you will never let them kill the 'Prince'. , but to kill the 'captain of the guard who betrayed the prince'?"
"Crash\
,"The crowd separated to the two sides, and the new king, William, came out wearing a gorgeous robe, golden in color, with many colorful patterns on the surface, and inlaid with gems of different sizes.
At this time, William's expression was not angry and arrogant. After walking out, he stared at Li Cha for a moment, and suddenly smiled.
"My dear brother, you came out alive, so... Edward, he betrayed again? Not only betrayed you, but now he betrayed me? Tsk, I'm a little strange, how did you convince him "William narrowed his eyes.
"It's very simple, I killed him." Richard said calmly.
William's eyes narrowed slightly, but his expression remained calm: "So, you knew in advance that he betrayed him? So, you have been prepared for him, and then let the rest of the guards kill him? It's also reasonable, after all... according to his swordsmanship, I'm afraid he really can't beat an ordinary guard soldier. But I admire your sharpness and your intelligence!"
"But then again, no matter how smart you are, you never thought that this day would come, my dear brother?" William's tone changed slightly.
"Actually, I've thought about it for a long time." Li Cha still looked calm.
"No! Yes! Yes!" William stared, denying word by word.
"Oh." Richard said, "Do I still need to explain it to you? Actually, I know a lot more than you think. For example, the rumor three years ago, I know you spread it, Let the venerable Father, His Majesty the former King Downers, suspect me and curse him by making voodoo dolls.
Oh, the massacre of the entire palace, almost everyone from top to bottom was killed. Hundreds of lives, blood stained the square in front of the palace... Then I was imprisoned for six months, hehe...
I think at that time, you must be very proud and very relieved, thinking that I will no longer be qualified to compete with you. Even if I fight against you, my esteemed father, His Majesty King Downas, will still hold grudges against me and cannot let go. But the problem is, from the beginning I didn't want to fight with you, I said, I have very important things to do. But what happened three years ago has strengthened my idea of leaving.
To be honest, if in the current world, I was not a prince, but the heir of a minor nobleman, maybe things would be better. The prince's position is a bit high, many people are watching, and there are many imposed responsibilities. I don't like these responsibilities, and in order to do what I want to do better, leaving is the best option. I will leave the palace, leave the Blue Lion City, and leave the entire Blue Lion Kingdom. "
William stopped talking and looked at Richard with a strange expression: "You..."
After a while, he took a deep breath and said solemnly, "Even if you say that, I won't let you leave."
