Chapter 48: Visitors from Hometown (1)

The night was dark and dark, and several horses surrounded a carriage and galloped quickly in the darkness of the moonlight. The knights on the horse were wrapped in heavy cloaks, making it difficult for people to see their appearance and body shape, but their movements and the dust on their bodies told others that they were in a hurry to go.

"Princess Lanyue, please stop. The horses are already very tired, it's time to take a rest."

A somewhat hoarse but still unconcealed sexy female voice came from the carriage. A knight on his head made a gesture, so the team stopped. The knights turned over and dismounted, and the horse's mouth and nose were spraying white air outwards, which was indeed quite tired.

The leader of the knight pulled down the cloak hood on his head, and a stunning face with a national fragrance and nobility and majesty suddenly appeared, which was Ying Lanyue.

The door of the carriage carriage opened, and the graceful and plump figure of Princess Aureina's perfect female figure appeared. There was a hint of unconcealed pain and fatigue on her beautiful face, and she said: "We have been away from Elzetas. Captain Horicotel's guards sacrificed himself to lead the loyal palace guards to buy time for us. I hope that Goedelick, the crazy guy, won't chase him out."

Behind her, the little queen Annastasia's face was also exposed. It can be seen that she had just cried. There were obvious tears on her white and delicate face, and her expression also seemed painful, confused and fearful, no longer as weird as before.

Ying Lanyue reached out and hugged Queen Anna from the carriage, and found that her body was trembling gently. This made Ying Lanyue sigh slightly. So what about the queen of a country? Isn’t she a victim of power struggle and ambition?

"I don't know how Captain Horicotel and others are doing now. I hope they can break through the siege."

He sighed as Aurelina took out a few exquisite pastries and handed them to Anna, but Anna did not answer them, sobbing and said, "Aunt, Captain Horicotel must be fine. He is a Sky Swordsman, and he is only one step away from becoming the legendary Great Swordsman. He is the first swordsman of our Holy Sky Empire. Uncle... The subordinates of the traitor Goedric cannot hurt him at all. Are I right aunt?"

Looking at Anna's eyes with tears and her expectant eyes, Aurelina could only nod, but she knew in her heart that the loyal strong man whom Horicotte, the king's brother, might be in danger. Unexpectedly, Goedric had recruited so many strong men and defeated the resistance of the palace guards at the first time. If it weren't for the help of Ying Lanyue and others, she and Anna would not even be able to escape. No matter how strong Captain Horicotte was, facing so many opponents, he would have to end up defeating the power hidden in the dark. What's more, Goedric must have had the power hidden in the darkness that had not been revealed.

After gently tidying up Anna's long scattered golden hair, Aurelina's eyes turned to Ying Lanyue and said, "Princess Lanyue, I didn't expect the situation to take such a sharp turn and deteriorate quickly to such a level. I'm really sorry for your burden."

"No need to say that, Princess Aureina, you can call me my name directly in the future. Since you have accepted your entrustment and even received the remuneration in advance, it is also our duty to help you. I don't want to ruin the reputation of our Qin Song Empire."

Ying Lanyue looked at the night sky and said, "I have sent a message to ask for help. Xu Yang Zhenren and Meng Lie and others will be able to rush back soon. With the protection of the real person, everything will be safe. But what are your plans for the future? Let's go to the East Continent with us?"

Shaking his head, Aurelina said: "I still have a lot of power in the country, and Brother Wang has left many secret forces and personnel. There is also a secret covenant between me and the elves of Qinlan Zhiyue. If it weren't for the sudden incident, I wouldn't have expected Goedric to be so bold and lead people to attack the palace directly. I wouldn't have the power of a battle. Therefore, I want to stay here to gather my power and reveal the truth about Goedric killing the throne. I cannot let him usurp the throne of the Holy Sky Empire. I wouldn't give up and surrender. And Anna, I'm going to ask you."

"No aunt, I don't want to leave you!"

Anna sobbed and immediately grabbed Aureina's clothes tightly, and said in a choked voice: "I want to be with you, die together!"

"Silly girl, don't say it's dead. Do you think your aunt is so useless and will be defeated by Goedric in an instant? Don't forget that aunt, I am the 'Tulip of the Holy Sky Empire', and an undefeated female war god on the battlefield. After a while, I will go to the East Continent to pick you up and put your crown back on your head."

Aureina flicked Anna's forehead with her slender fingers and said, "Look at how you look, you're a crybaby. Where have you usually been smart and eccentric?"

Then her voice sank again, and she whispered: "When my aunt is not by your side, you must take good care of yourself. You must be strong and not let yourself suffer."

Looking at the pair of aunts and nephews, Ying Lanyue sighed lightly. She didn't know whether she did this correctly. With the interests of the Qin Song Empire, it was the most correct to choose to cooperate with Prince Goedric. If this pair of aunts and nephews were sent, Goedric would definitely agree to many requirements and conditions in return. However, she personally did not regret choosing to help Aulerina's aunts and nephews.

"Your Highness, I have contacted the fleet with the talisman of the sending mission. The members of the mission that had been withdrawn and the Ziyun Tian Crystal they carried had arrived safely. The entire fleet has entered a state of alert. However, everything is as usual at the Port of Bazer, and merchants are still in constant force, as if they have not received the orders from Prince Goedric."

Wang Peng came to Ying Lanyue and whispered, his eyes flashing with tension, a light of worry and excitement. As a young man, what he was doing at this time could be said to make his blood boil.

"It seems that Goedelick doesn't want to make his rebellious public, nor do he want to get into evil with us directly."

Ying Lanyue's beautiful eyes flashed with wisdom and said, "If I guessed correctly, Goedelick must have wanted to announce the accidental death of Aurelina and Anna with an excuse so that he can succeed to the throne. Now it seems that Aurelina and Anna still have certain strength. He does not want to trigger a full-scale civil war in the Holy Sky Empire. However, if he is really forced to force him to do anything, I believe he can do anything. This is the nature of the ambitious usurper."

"Before this, he will definitely use all his strength to chase Aurelina and Anna, so it will be very difficult for us to go."

Wang Peng nodded and took people to arrange this temporary camp. Most of the personnel in the delegation had evacuated with a large number of Ziyun Tianjings given by Aureina a few days ago. At this time, the few people who stayed with Ying Lanyue were selected masters and immortal arts masters.

After Aurelina's comfort, Anna's expression became a little relaxed and she also regained her previous agility and liveliness. However, Ying Lanyue could see that to a large extent, she was forcing herself to do this to avoid making Aurelina even more sad. This was a precocious and smart little queen.

The entourages on both sides were only a dozen, and they were very capable. In a blink of an eye, a decent temporary campground was built. The bonfire was lit, and hot soup and food were boiled in the pot above, and horses were also properly taken care of.

"No one has to worry too much."

Seeing everyone's expressions nervous, Aurelina said, "When I left the palace, I arranged four identical teams to set off with us. Gordric was not sure that it was Lan Yue who helped us, so they could not lock us so quickly and catch up. Maybe we would be unobstructed all the way to Bazel Port."

"I hope everything is as you said."

Even though Ying Lanyue said that, there was always a slight ominous sign in her heart. However, calculating the time, Meng Lie, Xu Yang and Sikong Juya should have arrived, which gave her some confidence.

After all, this was on the way to escape. Although everyone was tired, they had no appetite. Eating the food that had been cooked randomly was like chewing wax, and the sound of the outer sentry suddenly came: "Who is it!"

"Don't be nervous, it's me, coachman Wesley."

A middle-aged man wearing black clothes walked out of the darkness. The subordinates of Ying Lanyue were responsible for keeping watch. He glanced at the middle-aged man's face for a few times, confirmed his identity, and let him walk into the camp.

"Wesley, what have you done?"

Aureina frowned and said, "Asperina said that she didn't seem to see the palace's royal coachman after the carriage stopped."

After awkward smile, the coachman said, "That...that...the princess, I just got there for a little convenience, so..."

"Okay, okay, hurry up and eat food. We have to set off overnight after rest."

Aureina turned her head back, but Ying Lanyue's expression became serious, and she stared at the coachman Wesley with a cold look and said, "You are lying! When you answered just now, your heart beat faster, your palms and forehead sweated. These are all guilty reactions, you didn't tell the truth!"

Ying Lanyue's words made Aureina's heart tremble, and her sword-like gaze suddenly stabbed at the coachman. She had always been extremely majestic among the many servants. When she glared like this, the coachman suddenly collapsed.

He fell to the ground all of a sudden, and the coachman said in tears and horror: "Your Highness, it's not that I want to do this, they forced me. My parents, wife and children are all in Prince Goedric's hands, and I can't help but listen to his orders."

"No wonder Gordric knows the situation in the palace very well. It turns out that there is you, the traitor!"

Aurelina's expression suddenly changed: "Since the time of Brother Wang, you have been his royal coachman, and you have gained great trust from him. After Anna ascended the throne, she still trusted you, but she didn't expect... Wesley, are you worthy of the trust of the two generations of kings in you?"
