Chapter 379: Your Majesty is going to show up?

The Military Day has arrived as promised.

Even though the soldiers on the front line were still fighting to the death against the tree people, the imperial capital quickly got into the festive atmosphere.

The residents of the imperial capital got up early. Today there are gifts for supporting the army that will not shrink. Naturally, the rich do not need to worry about it, but for the middle class, this material can also be used as a household gift. For a few days' expenses, the poor are even more enthusiastic - this reward is what they look forward to every year.

Even in the imperial capital of the mighty empire, the poor people in the wasteland world cannot be said to be living a good life.

In particular, the war on the front line is tense, taxes have increased, and the frequency of voluntary labor has also increased. They have to tighten their belts to live a better life.

So, on the day of the Military Day, the entire imperial capital showed an interesting scene.

In the most ordinary residential areas and even the locations where flat houses are located, residents rush out in droves to the distribution points, fearing that they will miss out if they are too late.

The middle class are more respectable. Most of them wear formal clothes. Even if they go out to receive gifts from supporting the army, they only stay in groups of twos and threes with their neighbors. They still need to discuss recent events while walking on the road. National events, such as wars on the front line and so on.

When they arrive at the collection location, they will line up very consciously and show a polite smile to the staff.

However, many people will find that the neighbor who is still chatting with them along the way is half a body ahead of them without realizing it, and they are also in front of them in the queue.

The people who were led in this way were somewhat unhappy, but once the neighbors turned around and continued the topic, they would respond with a smile. Moreover, if the two of them saw the people in the distant block together, Violent scenes of poor people crowding and fighting for each other will all look at each other and smile knowingly.

At this time, it is always pleasant.

However, what is even more enjoyable are the upper class people who live in wealthy neighborhoods. It is not their turn to leave their homes at this time. Wearing pajamas, opening the curtains, taking the black tea from the maid, and looking down at the crowds of people queuing and crowding in the distance, this was considered the first pastime on the Army Support Day.

Everyone is clear, except for the children, those children who are four, five, six or seven years old don’t think much about it. The team is close to each other and they play together, playing with everything - if it is a bunch of rich kids and If a poor child comes together, the one who is the least gregarious will play.

Of course, none of the people who need to attend this ostensible military celebration will be here.

"...The white moon will always be prosperous, and martial arts will be prosperous!"

"The white moon will be prosperous, and martial arts will be prosperous!"

As Generalissimo Wu Xiao shouted the last sentence As he spoke, the soldiers present burst into roars.

The military mobilization speech that begins the Military Day always requires a lot of passion.

With a resolute look on his face, Wu Xiao waved his fist at everyone and walked off the platform. The soldiers all turned around and prepared to attend this grand event in which they were the protagonists.

However, Wu Xiao’s expression turned ugly after he walked into the room with a determined face.

He stopped, and several generals behind him trembled.

"More than 10,000 people disappeared within the empire. I gave you three days, but there is no trace?!" Wu Xiao suppressed his anger.

The generals behind him looked at each other in silence. A major general who was usually highly regarded by Wu Xiao had an ugly expression on his face: "Marshal, we finally found a trace... That batch of wounded people may have been heading south from Black Pigeon. Those who disappeared near that area..."

It's okay not to say it. As soon as he said this, the anger in Wu Xiao's eyes became more obvious.

"Black Pigeon goes south? Do you know where Black Pigeon goes south?"

"...Emperor, Imperial Capital."

Wu Xiao narrowed his eyes slightly Come: "Then tell me, what are our people doing in the imperial capital?"

None of the generals present dared to answer the question.

Wu Xiao stared at them: "The Military Day has begun, and the families of more than 10,000 brothers are waiting for their triumphant return - before, I told them that their sons, brothers, husbands... are all brave and fearless of death. Warrior. In a few days, I have to tell them that their sons, brothers, husbands... all died for the country?"

"I can't even give them their bodies?"< br>
After a long silence, the major general spoke up: "Marshal, I am willing to explain to the military families..."

Wu Xiao, who rarely showed his anger in front of others, suddenly became furious. , he grabbed the other party's collar and roared: "Explain?! What qualifications do you have to explain to them?! What kind of explanation do you have to give to satisfy them?! What they lost is their child , Dear!”

The major general’s face was pale and red with shame, and he did not dare to raise his head.

Wu Xiao shook his head in disappointment. He did not throw the major general away, but calmly put him down.

"Send someone to search near the big hole at the original site of Black Pigeon Prison, and bring along an excavator. In addition, I will dig up the surrounding mine sites and bring along old miners from the military department. "Wu Xiao ordered coldly.

"Yes!"

Wu Xiao's chest rose and fell slightly: "Today, His Majesty will deliver a Military Day speech at seven o'clock in the evening... If there is no news before six-thirty, Then prepare the car and I will go see the military family members in person."

After that, Wu Xiao left without giving anyone a chance to speak.

Several generals looked at their colleagues carefully, and then glared at each other.

“Let’s go!”

……

The Military Day was very lively. When every household had received gifts from supporting the army, the marching troops who were cheering had also Arriving on the streets of the imperial capital.

There will be many programs during the parade, and various vendors will also gather at the street intersections with the largest flow of people. When the soldiers pass by, the crowd often bursts into loud cheers.

After the long game team passes by, children in simple clothes will rush forward, and a lot of things will fall on the ground. It may be a few pieces of candy, a half bottle of good wine, or a few cigarettes.

For the children in the slums, these are all good things. However, if you want to get more, it depends on how big your fist is - most of the children in the slums are not very good at it. Be strong, now it's time to "fight for talent" again.

When the children finish fighting, the residents will flood into the streets to start their own carnival.

In the crowd, Sean randomly found a vendor and bought some snacks. He peeled off the wrapper of a piece of candy and stuffed the candy into his mouth.

After a while, he nodded and swallowed: "The taste of industrial saccharin is very strong, and it tastes like childhood."

"Is it appropriate for you to hang out at this time?" Bai Ye, who was wrapped tightly beside him and even wore a hood, said.

Shaun flicked it with his thumb, and the soda bottle cap popped out. Several children around him who heard the movement immediately cast admiring looks.

He raised his head and took a sip, and said with a slight dissatisfaction: "I'm selling it even if it's flat, tsk, it just tastes like saccharine water..."

Sean lazily stood aside. As he walked, he said: "All the things that need to be done have been done. Now they are trying their best to plot against me. They are the ones who should be busy, not me. But, on this important day today, as Her Royal Highness, you do not need to be present. ?”

Bai Ye’s face was hidden in the hood and his expression could not be seen clearly, but he just whispered: “It is not my turn to give the speech on the military anniversary and the reception of the soldiers. I will wait until the dinner. Just attend.”

"Didn't I say that your father will also be attending today?" Sean wandered casually among the crowd, glancing around from the corner of his eye from time to time.

There was no emotion in Bai Ye's voice: "My father has not attended the Military Day for ten consecutive years, probably because of the special time this time. I guess he will still give a speech. "

Sean shrugged: "However, since you are going to attend, your father must show up, right? It's strange to say that most people in the imperial capital don't know what their beloved emperor looks like. "

Bai Ye actually sneered: "I don't remember the appearance of my father. In the past, when the emperor brothers were not in the imperial capital, when I helped with government affairs, it was only through a curtain - this I don’t know if he will show up this time, I guess he won’t... But you don’t need to worry about my father’s affairs for the time being, right? The focus is still on my eldest brother and Jehovah.” Sean picked up the snack again, his head was spinning. He said without raising his head: "Aren't you helping me give them a chance?"

"Opportunity? Me?"

Sean turned his head and looked at Bai Ye's outfit with an inexplicable look, and finally couldn't help laughing out loud: "Jehovah asked a professional team to analyze my personality , sources of motivations, behavioral patterns, etc., do you think he wouldn’t have guessed that a restless master like me would come to the military anniversary?”

Bai Ye was stunned for a moment, then realized what he was doing. .

Jehovah and those who fight in vain will definitely blend in with the crowd and observe, no matter what the reason is.

However, in the lively festival, her dress, which was intended to hide her identity, was more likely to attract the attention of interested people.

There was a hint of apology in Bai Ye's voice: "I'm sorry, I didn't think too much..."

Halfway through, she raised her head again: "According to your personality, you will definitely remind me... ...You did it on purpose?”

Shaun cracked the stone melon seeds and said cheerfully: “I said you are not stupid—I deliberately chose a location away from Sherrill’s prison when I went out.”

Bai Ye thought for a while and said: "Because my eldest brother must have more people than Jehovah, so the people who can observe us far away from there are most likely my eldest brother's people."

Sean laughed: "It's not a high probability, it's 100% - three people have noticed us while walking along this section of the road. They all pretended to be vendors, but they didn't bend down when communicating with the marching soldiers. However, the communication time It was short-lived and the soldiers were very satisfied.”

Bai Ye said thoughtfully: "This shows that they are not used to groveling, but they know the preferences of the soldiers-this is the characteristic of soldiers, and the eldest brother has many military forces under his command..."

Her He looked at Sean with disbelief: "You have observed so many things in such a short time?"

Sean said casually: "It's just a habit - well, it's not like Jehovah didn't send someone out, Did you see the woman at nine o'clock? She is wearing the most ordinary poor clothes, but her fingers are white and slender. The temperature is not high today, but she has already touched her cuffs four times."

"The clothes do not match her skin. And she was subconsciously feeling hot when she was stroking her sleeves - this is a sign of staying in the cold storage for a long time. Did you also observe that she was from a shelter? "

Sean smiled: "The most basic thing. Observation, right? Moreover, the paths of her and the disguised vendors overlapped several times, which means they don’t know each other, so the identification becomes clearer.”

Bai Ye looked at Sean as if she were looking at a ghost. Even though she had experienced this many times, she was still shocked by Sean's terrifying observation ability.

"Wait...then what do you want?" Bai Ye was stunned for a moment, but saw Sean speeding up his pace and walking towards the woman.

“Shh, keep up.”

Bai Ye’s strange attire has attracted the attention of interested people. As soon as the two quickened their pace, those who were observing them reacted immediately. .

The woman noticed the direction of Sean and the two of them. When she found that the distance between herself and the two of them was getting closer and closer, she subconsciously headed towards the surrounding alleys.

Sean didn't catch up with him, he just followed him not far or too close, as if he was going shopping.

However, he said slowly: "I didn't remind you just to remind Bai Zhan - they all think that I am a smart person and will not let people around me make such mistakes. Therefore, when mistakes occur, they will Arousing suspicion. "

While they were talking, they had already chased the woman into the dark alley, and the disguised vendors behind them had temporarily lost sight of them.

Shawn took Bai Ye's hand and disappeared directly into the air.

He smiled and said: "So, Bai Zhan will think that I am -"

"Cheer up with people." Bai Ye continued.

Sean nodded: "Then, your good brother is already very suspicious~"

Bai Ye murmured: "I'm afraid it's going to explode..."

……

“Are you sure you’re right?”

"Yes, Your Highness, this is what I saw exactly. The other two also saw the same situation."

In the secret room, Bai Zhan narrowed his eyes after listening to the report.

This time, he became more and more certain that there was an ulterior connection between the military advisor and Sean!

It is even possible that Sean does not know who is contacting him... The military advisor is using and driving Sean...

And at this point in time...

Bai Zhan sneered.

Very good, military advisor...

...

The carnival lasted all day, and when night gradually fell, people began to flock towards the largest square in the imperial capital.

At this time, Wu Xiao, who had just got into the car, received the news.

"What did you say?" Wu Xiao looked at the other party in disbelief.

Palace Prime Minister Covance nodded: "His Majesty already knows the matter. He said that this is not the fault of the marshal. As the leader of a country, he should do the work of appeasing the military families. Moreover, Today is another Military Day... He hopes you can spend this holiday well."

Wu Xiao was silent for a moment, looked at Covance, and then nodded.

"Your Majesty said, please go to the square first and prepare. He is already in the courtyard of the military family."

"Your Majesty is wise..."

...

The military representatives sat in the courtyard with some anxiety. They received news that... His Majesty wanted to see them?

When I was nervous, the courtyard door had been pushed open, a dark car parked outside, and the sound of large footsteps seemed to surround the entire courtyard.

The military representative took a few steps forward nervously, and then fell to his knees.

“I have met His Majesty.”

After a moment of silence, an old but majestic voice sounded.

"No courtesy, everyone."

The car windows were rolled down gently, several military representatives raised their heads cautiously, and then lowered their heads again in fear, even their bodies were a little shaken. tremble.

There is a hand on the car window, a hand tightly bound by branches and cell fruits. The hand is almost like a mummy, with the violently corroded skin covering it with difficulty.
