A Tale of Strategies For the Throne - 24. Chapter 24

In the government affairs hall, on the high platform, King Camos sitting on the throne spread the parchment handed over by his subordinates on the table.

Sweeping his eyes on the paper, he frowned.

“The situation in Wiener City is more serious?”

A middle-aged minister standing on the lower side bowed slightly and bowed his head.

“I’m sorry, Your Majesty, it was me who was waiting for negligence, I…”

The minister seemed to want to say something to accuse him, but was interrupted by King Camos’s raised hand.

“I don’t want to listen to this now.”

The young king said so.

“Tell me, the true state of Wijnal City now.”

The courtiers below glanced at each other and bowed their heads once again.

“Since the city of Wiener suffered an early flood due to the flood season of the river some time ago, in accordance with your order, I have prepared all the food and medicine for disaster relief as soon as possible.”

The oldest minister among them said, “But as far as it seems, the results are not good.”

“Yes, it is said that there are countless casualties in the city of Wiener, and many others are missing.”

A medical officer spoke.

“King Camos, I received a report from the medical officer in the city of Venar that the situation is not ideal, the plague is showing signs of emergence, and the medicine is very scarce.” He said, “Please prepare a large amount of food and food from nearby cities as soon as possible. The medicine passes.”

Another sheriff also spoke.

“I have also received reports that there are a large number of thieves in and out of the city of Wijnal, and many women and children have been taken away. The people living in the city are panicked because of this. The lord of Wijnal city asks you to give the army a dispatch order.”

The golden brown eyes narrowed slightly, which was a sign of the beast’s anger.

However, King Aaron Landis sitting on the throne just squinted his eyes and did not show an angry expression. His gaze swept across the ministers in front of him, with an expression of unknown meaning. .

“understood.”

Camos said in a very calm tone.

“You go down.”

King Camos, who listened to the requests of the ministers, but did not give any solution, got up and left under the gaze of everyone.

That night, at dinner time, King Camos, who ate in his bedroom, invited Xiemur on the grounds that he wanted to know Prince Garland’s recent studies.

In the bedroom, Camos trusted his confidants, and here, he could express his plans without any scruples.

“Xiemuer, get ready, I’m going to Wiener City.”

Putting a piece of roasted meat with dipping sauce into his mouth, Camos gave a secret order to Xiemur while chewing.

The tone was an understatement, as if it were easy and simple to say to Xiemuer what I want to eat tonight.

The priest of Shamash frowned.

But knowing King Camos, he didn’t intend to dissuade him. Anyway, it was useless to dissuade him.

With this king’s temper, Xie Muer had vaguely guessed the plan of King Camos when he saw him so calm in the day.

“Yes, Your Majesty, how many guards do you plan to take with you?”

King Camos stroked his chin.

“Eight hundred…no, five hundred rides is almost the same.”

He wants to sneak in secretly, and it is easy to be found if he brings too many people.

He said, “Let’s find some excuses and arrange for 500 riders to leave the city in batches within three days and gather outside the city.”

“Yes.”

Every day, King Camos asked Gallan to dine with him, and today is no exception.

However, the conversation between Camos and Sheemur obviously did not conceal Garlan’s meaning, and Garlan heard it from the beginning to the end from the side.

“Brother Wang, are you going to Vernal City?”

He couldn’t help asking.

“Huh? Do you want to go?”

“…”

The joking tone of King Camos silenced the child.

Although Garland has been reborn in this world several times, in fact, in order to guard against Himos, Garland has been closely guarded by his subordinates. He spends most of his time in the palace. Even Wangcheng has only been to a limited number of times.

It can be said that he has not even gone out in Wangcheng.

Thinking of this, he whispered: “…want to go.”

After speaking, he thought for a while, raised his head and said again.

This time, he raised his voice.

“Brother Wang, I want to go.”

The talking blond child raised his head, a small face filled with expectation, and his big amber jewel-like eyes looked at King Kamos with eagerness.

The young Wang smiled, touched his eyes and looked at his little brother’s head.

“Okay.” He said, “Brother Wang will take you.”

“King Camos!”

Camos promised to be simple, and the priest next to him was not calm.

“We’re not going to play! If you don’t say it’s going to be a war!”

“Hahaha, it’s okay, what are you afraid of when I am here?”

Xiemuer: “…”

Although I want to refute it, I don’t know how to refute it.

Indeed, there are people like King Camos who are as powerful as a lion, coupled with the guards of hundreds of brave and fighting kings, among Aaron Landis, they don’t need to fear anyone.

“Men, there is always a day to go to the battlefield. Although Gallan is still young, as the prince of Aaron Landis, it is time to experience it.”

“…In that case, King Camos, you will also bring Prince Huimos to the experience, how about it?”

Both princes of Aaron Landis need to grow up as quickly as possible.

Therefore, Xiemuer will not let go of any opportunity for the princes to grow up.

King Camos slapped his mouth with a squeak, and he knew that he was reluctant to look at the expression, but he scratched the brown hair and nodded.

Xiemuer said: “That’s right, the reasons are ready. King Camos, you take your two brothers to the Wang’s Ranch to hunt.”

“Okay.” Camos replied simply. “Just say that to the outside world.”

“Also, if you wear light and simple clothes, then Wubaiqi can’t wear armor, preferably leather armor…”

Camos and Xiemuer were still discussing the details, and Garlan over there had no intention of listening.

After being reborn several times, he has always stayed in the royal city. Under the heavy protection of his subordinates, he has never taken a step out of the royal city.

He is the younger brother of one person and above ten thousand people, but occasionally, he will feel like he is imprisoned in this huge imperial city cage.

That may be one of the reasons why he wants to escape from this royal city in this life.

…

In any case, this time, he was finally able to set foot on the land outside the royal city for the first time.

………………

Time flies quickly, three days passed in a blink of an eye.

Since the female officer serving Garlan knew that Garlan was going to hunt with King Camos to the royal ranch and took it there for a while, she was busy and packed up the belongings of the entire two carriages.

Then Xie Muer took a look and chopped down the two carriages, and only asked Garlan to pack a few simple clothes and bring a small baggage.

Garlan cautiously put in the underwear that he asked the maid to make for him, and then, in the worried gaze of the middle-aged female officer, carrying a small baggage and followed Xiemur away.

The priest of Shamash has also changed into a white robe and put on a riding outfit that is easy to move. The shoulders, chest, waist and other vital parts are covered with brown-black leather armor.

When they arrived there, they heard the neighing of horses. Thousands of cavalrymen stood in the spotting field, each comforting their horses. Those cavalrymen were also wearing dark brown leather armor similar to that of Xiemuer. .

As soon as Garlan arrived, the tall figure of King Camos greeted him.

He laughed and hugged Garlan with one hand, letting him sit on his arm, and stuffed Garlan with something in his other hand.

Garlan looked down and found that King Camos had given him a white candy block.

“Brother Wang, I just finished breakfast…”

“Hahaha, it’s not for you, take it.”

Camos finished speaking, took a big step, and took Garlan to a steed in a few steps.

It was a tall, pitch-black horse, and its pitch-black fur was like satin, shining black and shiny in the sun. The mane and tail on its neck are honey-like golden brown, and when the wind blows, it shimmers like a wave, even with a touch of metallic luster.

It was an extremely beautiful steed, and at the same time, it was also very majestic. The shape of the tendons on the slender legs is extremely distinct, and the muscle lines on the chest have clear textures, slightly bulging, giving people a very full and strong feeling.

Among the many horses, it is so outstanding that everyone’s first glance falls on it.

At this moment, amidst the successive roars of the horses, it stood there quietly, leisurely, giving a noble and noble but inaccessible feeling.

King Camos hugged Garlan and walked over. The horse immediately turned his head alertly, and when he saw Camos, it changed back to a leisurely appearance.

“Tuck.”

Camos touched its mane, then pointed to Garlan in his arms.

The black horse snorted lightly, leaned over, and smelled at Garlan, as if trying to remember his scent. But when Gallan stretched out his hand and tried to touch it, it swung its head and avoided Gallan’s hand.

This tall horse raised his head, looking down at the child with big eyes, as if judging something. Its body and aura are much taller than ordinary horses, giving people a great sense of oppression.

Garlan blinked, smiled at the horse who was looking down at him condescendingly, and then stretched out his hand.

The white candy in his hand melted a bit because he had been holding it, and it exuded a sweet breath at this moment.

As soon as the dark horse with his head held up and still pretending to smell this smell, he couldn’t hold on. The big horse glanced at Garland, and he hesitated a little when he saw the child holding the candy smiling at him sweetly. After a while, he lowered his head and began to lick the candy in Garlan’s hand.

Camos smiled and nodded to Garlan, indicating that he did a good job.

After Tucker licked the candy clean, Camos put Garlan on the back of the dark horse with one stroke of both hands.

The dark horse turned his head and glanced at King Camos, standing still.

The king of horses, who refused to let anyone ride on his back except King Camos, seemed to agree with Camos’s behavior. He turned his head and shook his beautiful honey-colored mane.

Camos laughed.

He braced with both hands, jumped up on the horseback, and pulled on the reins with both hands.

The pitch-black steed raised its hooves and let out a long neigh, which was like a roar of a dragon and a tiger, suppressing the neighing of all the horses present.

“Set off!”

King Camos shouted loudly, resounding across the sky.

In the next second, the black horse under him rushed out like an arrow from the string, taking the lead.

Behind him, thousands of cavalry followed.

The horses galloped on the ground, rolling up heavy smoke and shaking the ground.

…………

What the ministers knew was that King Camos took the two princes to the king’s ranch for hunting activities.

That was an event often held by King Camos, and this time it was to teach the two princes. It was even more normal, so everyone didn’t take it seriously.

Anyway, King Camos took three thousand cavalry with him, just outside the city, not very far, so the safety of the king and the two princes is not to worry about.

But what they didn’t know was that after King Camos led his confidant guards to the Wang’s Ranch, he sneaked out with the two princes, Sheemur and the five hundred cavalry.

Leave the remaining two thousand five hundred cavalry in the pasture and guard the four places tightly, creating the illusion that they are still hunting.

In this way, King Camos took five hundred cavalry along the remote road, avoiding people’s eyes and eyes, and set off toward the city of Venar.

Gallan was naturally taken by Camos and sat in front of Camos.

In fact, he can ride a horse, but everyone assumes that he is too young to know, and he can’t find a horse with small arms and legs that can allow him to ride, so Gallan honestly pretends that he can’t. Camos took it with him on horseback.

He sat in front of Camos and drove all the way, and he ate ashes for a day.

When the team finally stopped at night when they found a creek as a temporary camp, Garlan was already very ashamed. He felt that he didn’t need to eat dinner, because he was full of ash all the way.

Therefore, as soon as Gallan was hugged by Camos from his horse, and unaware of other things, he hurriedly ran towards the stream not far away.

As soon as he got to the stream—well, he knew it.

The one who came to the stream to wash before him was naturally the Lord Shamash priest who had a habit of cleanliness. At this moment, Xiemur was squatting by the stream, using a small square to wipe the dust on his face carefully.

Gallan squatted down beside him, and he didn’t bring any handkerchiefs, so he directly poured water on his face with his hand.

The cool water was splashed on his face, it was very cool, and while washing off the dust, it also took away the hotness in his heart, which made Garlan a lot more comfortable.

Ah, my butt hurts.

While washing her face, Garlan thought this way.

After spending a whole day on horseback, if Brother Wang hadn’t put a soft cushion on him, he felt that he would probably only be lying on his stomach this day.

Water droplets dripped down from his cheeks, Garlan raised his hand and wiped his face with the back of his hand at random, shook off a series of drops of water, and then got up.

“His Royal Highness.”

As soon as he stood up, someone around him was calling him.

As soon as Gallan turned his head, she saw Xiemuer holding a wet handkerchief in his hand, looking at him.

“Please come here, Your Highness.”

The child glanced at Xie Muer, who was staring at him, and then at the wet handkerchief in the opponent’s hand.

He raised his hand and waved, he wanted to refuse.

“No…no, Xiemur.”

It’s a pity that Gallan’s refusal was useless. Sheemur grabbed him, bent down, and then began to wipe his hair, sideburns, auricles, corners of eyes, sides of his nose, etc. carefully with a wet handkerchief. .

Then, holding Garlan’s hand without allowing the opponent to refuse, wiped the fingers of the two little hands clean.

When the square veil in Xiemuer’s hand turned gray, the little prince of Aaron Landis also changed from a little gray child back to his original white and tender appearance.

Looking at the little brother who was wiped clean in front of him, the priest, who was obsessive and obsessive, nodded in satisfaction.

…Anyway, Garlan had given up struggling in the middle of the journey, letting Xiemur be at the mercy of him.

The familiar haha laughter rang from the side, and it was King Camos who also came to wash by the stream.

He looked at his lovely little brother Wang, who had been wiped clean, and was very satisfied with Xiemul’s hygienic disorder for the first time in his life.

He strode over, hugged Little Gallan, habitually, leaning his face in and rubbing his little brother’s soft cheek.

It hurts—it hurts—

Being stabbed by King Camos’s rough stubble, Gallan resisted and didn’t shout.

After rubbing his little brother, Camos was content to put Garlan down, and then squatted down by the stream. Like Garlan just now, he took the water in his hand and splashed it on his face at will, and then used his hand hard. Rub your face a few times and treat it as washing your face.

Xiemuer stood by and watched, frowning suddenly, and asked: “Did you come out today without shaving?”

He saw a lot of green stubble on King Camos’s chin, with uneven residuals, one with one piece, and one without one, which made him look a little bit uncomfortable.

“Seems to be.”

Camos touched his chin, he did have a hand, but he didn’t care.

“Why do men shave so cleanly? A little beard is good.”

He said so and touched his chin again.

“Just don’t shave it anymore, or keep it, it’s even more powerful.”

Xie Muer said nothing.

Anyway, the matter decided by King Camos, no one can persuade him. If he wants to grow a beard, let him grow it.

…………

Wait, so this is why King Camos will have thick beards and hairy faces in the future?

Garlan had just figured out about this matter, and when he couldn’t help but vomit inside, he suddenly saw a familiar figure approaching him not far away.

The black-haired boy was like a black wolf appearing silently from the woods, walking up to him without making a sound.

“So you are here.”

Garlan said in surprise, “I didn’t see you this morning, I thought you didn’t follow.”

“I was assigned to a team of cavalry on the side to move with them.”

Huimos replied.

He looked down at Garlan, suddenly frowned, and then stretched out his hand, pinched Garlan’s chin, raised the small face, and stared at Garlan’s face unblinkingly. .

Garlan caught his chin and raised his face off guard, and when he reacted, he immediately slapped Hoymos’ hand away.

“what you do?”

He said unhappily.

The young golden red eyes moved, revealing a thoughtful look. Huimos did not answer Garlan’s words, but turned to look at King Kamos on the side.

King Camos had almost finished washing his face over there, and he wiped his face indiscriminately with his big hand, shaking off the drops of water.

Then, he looked at Garlan again and stretched out his hand.

“Come on, Garland, Brother Wang will take you to eat barbecue. Haha, Brother Wang will cook it for you himself.”

Just when King Camos stretched out his hand to hug Garlan, and by the way, he rubbed his little brother’s small face, an arm suddenly stretched out and stopped in front of Garlan.

Gallan was taken aback for a moment, and looked at Heimos who was in front of him in amazement.

“Please stop this behavior.”

Looking at the young man who stopped in front of Garlan, King Camos was upset.

“Hey, kid, you don’t have to be too tight-lipped.”

“Himos…what are you doing…”

Gallan couldn’t help but speak.

Facing King Camos, the young man who was shorter than the opponent did not flinch and continued to confront Camos.

“Your behavior hurt Garland, don’t you know?”

“what?”

“His face is covered with red marks from your beard, haven’t you seen it?”

“…”

Camos subconsciously looked at Garlan’s face.

I saw several clear red marks on the child’s soft cheeks that were rubbed off by hard objects, which were especially conspicuous on the white and tender skin.

Suddenly, King Camos frowned.

“Hey, Xiemuer.”

“Yes?”

“Give me the razor blade!”

Others may not, but Camos knows that Sheemer will definitely carry that stuff with him.

Xiemuer: “…………Yes.”

The priest blankly handed the half-slap-sized thin blade over, and then continued blankly watching King Kamos hurriedly squatted by the stream with the blade and shaved his beard.

What?

beard? The majesty of a man?

Bah, how important is my little brother!

…………

Just as King Camos was busy shaving, the little brother on the side fell into deep thought.

Then, in this way, will the future brother Wang’s fluffy beard disappear?

※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※

Ah, take the hand short, eat the mouth short.

Now that I took the sugar-coated cannonballs and nutrient solution from my friends…try to…rescue Brother Wang’s appearance, right?
