6. Treacherous hero

Finally, it was back to the wind and sand.

This city is now immersed in victory and triumph.

Since victory, then the next thing to do is naturally a celebration banquet. The victory brought by the king's personal expedition is hard to describe in words. Naturally, the city has lights and decorations, and the festive atmosphere that has been prepared long ago looks even more grand than the Holy Night Festival.

This celebration should be held for a long time. Everyone who blows the sand can participate. Everyone cheers, collided with the wine glasses in their hands, and shouted happily to add color to the celebration.

Of course, this event is not just a celebration. Because in addition to drinking and celebrating, there is another most important thing to deal with. Moreover, people are looking forward to how this matter will be dealt with.

Evil Fire? The judgment of Buddhist Hughes.

As the second prince of the treason, how will the current Bucks King deal with his younger brother? Should he push him to the gallows, or order him to commit suicide and then get a decent funeral?

Everyone was looking forward to it, from the gamblers on the streets to the princes and nobles, everyone was talking about the fate of the prince, his wife, and his children. Some people laughed and some were worried, but no matter how they talked about it, the final decision of the matter still fell into the hands of the king.

Inside the castle -

He was paralyzed and wearing a mask on his face was sitting in a wheelchair. After so long of his cultivation, his body seemed to be much better and he finally had no danger of his life.

Because of his achievements, the Buck King arranged for him to live in this VIP room in the castle where only princes and nobles could stay overnight. Every day, there were many male servants and maids responsible for taking care of them.

The name of this warrior who fought with eight thousand people alone and captured the Evil Fire Prince alive has long been spread throughout the city, and people have been sorry for it. Unfortunately, his strength was destroyed and he can only become a useless person from now on. However, some people are a little relieved while being a little relieved, because without him, a cheating existence, there are not many turmoils in his officialdom. Therefore, this disabled warrior's life is very peaceful every day, and no one comes to deliberately make things difficult for him. There are many greetings.

night.

Several maids served the warrior and carried him to bed. One of the maids had just arrived, so they tried to remove the chain on the man's right arm. But after trying for a while, they returned in vain. She stopped and covered him with a quilt after hearing the introductions from other maids.

This is……

"The Princess is here"

The soldiers outside the door informed him, and the maids in the room took a step back and knelt down at the arrival of Hu Tao. Hu Tao rushed into the door and asked them to get up casually. She looked at the person who couldn't move on the bed and felt a little sad. But she still reluctantly allowed herself to maintain her calm expression and sat by the bed.

"Are you the warrior who fights eight thousand with one?"

"Duzade" on the bed looked at Hu Tao, but did not speak. The maid next to him stepped forward and said, "Go back to the eldest princess, the hero's throat was destroyed, so he could hardly make a sound."

Hu Tao was full of anger in her stomach and wanted to vent, but she couldn't hear the situation like "Duzade". Now, there are so many people around her. She can come to visit the injured hero as a princess, but she can't risk being gossiped about by others and leave these maids alone. This contradictory scene made her feel more and more frustrated the more she thought about it, and her fists couldn't help but pinch them.

"Come on, Xiangyou, let me introduce you to you. This is what I have always mentioned to you, the warrior who has achieved the greatest achievements in this battle. Mr. Duzade Morril."

Dai Laola passed his wife and children and came to the bedside of "Duzade" and introduced it. At this time, "Duzade" wanted to straighten up and salute, Dai Lao hurriedly walked up and pressed him on the bed, showing a gentle smile on his face.

"It's okay, you don't have to get up, just lie down."

"I...he De...how can I..."

The soldier on the bed opened his mouth and said in a voice that was so small that he could hardly hear himself. Dai Lao put his ears to his mouth. After hearing him say this, he quickly shook his head and said, "Don't worry, you are my chief adviser, and naturally you enjoy different etiquette from others."

"Duzade"'s eyes suddenly turned red, and tears of excitement were about to fall again. At this time, Dai Lao hurriedly took out a tissue, wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, and smiled and said, "What's wrong? Don't be so excited. A man doesn't cry easily, don't do this."

"I... are favored... if I'm shocked..."

"Don't rush to say such things first. Actually, I have something more important to ask you for help today. If you can agree, I will be flattered."

At this point, Dai Lao turned around and waved to his youngest son. Xiangyou nodded to Hu Tao next to him, and pulled their son over.

"Come, Nero, say hello to Uncle Duzade."

The little Nero hid behind Dai Lao and looked a little scared after looking at the man on the bed. But finally, he nodded and said timidly: "Hello uncle..."

"Be good. Actually, Duzade, I came here today to ask you for something. Can you adopt my son as your adopted son?"

The warrior on the bed's pupils instantly expanded, and his excited body trembled even more. Seeing this, Dai Lao hurried forward and grabbed his hand to prevent him from panic.

"I...I...I'm...I'm a...scrambled, how can...be...beat the young master...be favored?"

"No, as a person, it's not that only strength is the first. I know that your strength is nothing now, but I am sincere. In addition to expressing my gratitude to you, I also want my son to follow you and learn various strategies."

Hu Tao, who was standing beside him, couldn't bear it anymore when she heard this. She originally wanted to drink a lot, but for Xiangyou's presence, she couldn't shout, so she could only say sarcastically: "What do you mean? What strategy?"

Dai Lao did not look at Hu Tao, continued to stare at "Duzadeh" and said, "I heard that a few days ago, Your Majesty has been visiting you. During the chat, you suggested to Your Majesty that the war has just ended and everything is in trouble, so it is proposed to distribute the railway from the original state-owned to public ownership, conduct public bidding and private management, right?"

"Duzade" nodded.

Dai Lao smiled and clenched his hand even tighter.

The railway public bidding seems fair at first glance. But who in the entire Bucks has the financial resources to compete with the Goodes family? The Norrius family suffered a heavy casualties last summer, and the members of the family have lost a lot of strength. Now, of course, it is impossible to compete with the Goodes family.

In other words, as long as the railway is open for bidding, from now on, the entire Bucks Empire's railway line will be controlled by the Goodes family. There is no need to explain in detail the benefits.

"I have asked His Majesty many times for this matter, but due to my identity, I can never say it explicitly. Duzade, you have done so many things for me, but I... really have nothing to repay you. To be honest, it is because I, Hede, can have a good subordinate like you, not that you are not qualified to enjoy this honor."

"So it was true that my wife and I agreed that you would be Nero's adoptive father and teacher. I hope you can pass on your knowledge and judgment to him so that he can become a decision maker like you, capable and visionary in the future."

Nero pulled the sheet bag and stuck it on the bed, looking at "Duzade" and screaming. After the warrior looked at the child, he couldn't help but burst into tears of excitement from the corner of his eyes again. Finally, he nodded reluctantly.

Dai Lao happily picked up his child and asked him to call him "Duzade" godfather. The child refused at first, but after hesitating for a while, he finally called out. Xiangyou next to him was also very happy, holding Hu Tao's hand and looking at his husband with admiration. Hu Tao was a little amused and cried, and resisted the twitching of his face and forced a smile.

"You guys chat slowly, I won't be with you anymore."

Hu Tao flicked her sleeves and planned to leave. Xiangyou was a little puzzled and asked what was wrong. Hu Tao didn't say anything and walked out the door. Seeing this, Dai Lao smiled and said -

"Xiangyou, take Nero and the eldest princess to chat. My child's godfather and I still want to talk about official business."

Xiangyou responded to Dai Lao with a smile. Then, she pulled the child out of the room and dragged Hu Tao, who looked angry, to the reception room next to her, and went to chat while having evening tea.

After his wife and the princess left, Dai Lao glanced at the maids and servants around him and sent them all away. After he closed the door of the room, only Dai Lao and "Duzade" who could not move on the bed were left in the room.

“…………………………”

The air at night seems a little cold.

Only the room where these two people were in seemed to have swept away the lively moments just now.

Dai Lao walked slowly, came to the bedside of "Duzade" and sat down.

He raised his head and stared at the ceiling, as if thinking about something.

"Duzade" was also lying silently, staring at him with black eyes, as if waiting for something...

"Now, you are the adoptive father of my child. I think I should be able to express my heart to you."

There was a little hesitation in Dai Lao's golden pupils. He supported his chin and said slowly: "Now, I have a problem. Xiehuo, this person is very important to Your Majesty. Although the two brothers are incompatible, and their various situations make it impossible for them to reconcile as before. However, I obviously felt that these days, since Xiehuo woke up from his coma, His Majesty has visited his room all day long."

"Maybe you don't know, but Xiehuo is a person who is very dissatisfied with me. I'm worried... If Your Majesty is soft-hearted and Xiehuo is a man of tricks, he might convince Your Majesty to spare his life. In this way, anything I do in the future will be like being under his surveillance again, which is really unfavorable to me."

Dai Lao put his hand on his knees and slowly grabbed it. He looked at Duzadeh with a serious look and said with a sincere look: "So, my brother, what should I do now? I want to persuade Your Majesty, and I cannot be soft-hearted. But to be honest, if I say this in this situation, the direction will be too obvious. If I fail, then there will be more suspicion between Your Majesty and you in the future."

"Now, can you give me any advice? Tell me how should I make a decision now?"

Dai Lao's eyes were very sincere, humble and humble. After hearing these words, "Duzade" slowly closed his eyes and thought.

Such silence has been going on all the time, silence...silence...silence has always been silence.

Time passed by minute by minute, and Dai Lao showed enough patience in this room where there was no third person. He knew that this person was thinking, and he had reason to think the most fully of this choice that could determine the future and destiny of the Goodes family.

Ten minutes...

Twenty minutes...

Thirty minutes...

One hour...

Finally, this silence lasted for an hour. After that...

"Duzade"'s eyes finally opened. Dai Lao was also eager to put his ears on his mouth and listened with his breath...

"Please...they...reconcile..."

Dai Lao frowned, obviously, this was not the answer he wanted.

"Then... at the celebration banquet ten days later..."

Dai Lao was stunned for a moment, let go of his dissatisfaction and continued to listen.

"Poison...kill...Mudu?Buddhism...Huces."

Everything became quieter.

Outside the window, it seemed that drizzle began to float.

The summer rain... is still not over.

And the coldness of autumn began to slowly spread and fill everyone's heart...

"I don't understand very much."

Dai Lao said slowly.

"Poison kill...Your Majesty...You...At the grounds that Evil Fire wants to usurp the throne...At that time...Arest him...kill..."

"Then... support...His Royal Highness of the Prince of Jin...Ascend the throne..."

"Assisted on the grounds that...His Highness Jin... is young... and cannot handle... affairs yet..."

"In this way... you... although you are not the king... but... have real power..."

"Hold the young emperor... to order the whole country..."

"And then... whether it is a siege of cities and territories... or internal affairs... are all in the name of the young emperor..."

"When we... die... let Nero... force the position to become a...real..."

"king"

The sound of rain, drizzle.

Thunder and lightning, interlaced.

The silent Delau and the whispering "Duzade" were frozen in this room.

Only the sword on Dai Lao's waist was left, but now it emitted a burst of wail... It seemed as if crying in despair...
