The Face Changing Warrior

Roddy raised his head slowly, and he felt the sharp gaze of the other person facing him. I don't know why, the gaze pierced his face as if it were solid, Roddy could even feel the feeling of hair standing upside down.

"Site, come here!"

Roddy sighed slightly, stood up slowly, and walked in a few steps.

The person in front of him is the Emperor Abbas XI of the Empire! Roddy frowned: Why does he not look very energetic?

In Roddy’s impression, the emperor of the empire, as a descendant of the Abbasid Emperor, should be wearing a golden armor, a burly figure, binocular power, energetic, and a certain kind of majesty. But the middle-aged man in front of him, with a pale face and a thin body hidden under the wide white robe, gave people a gloomy feeling.

Humph! It seems that being an emperor is not necessarily a very happy thing! Seeing him, there is a faint "chuan"-shaped wrinkle between his eyebrows, and he must be frowning often on weekdays.

Roddy stood ten steps away in front of the emperor, did not dare to come closer, still standing with his hands down.

The eyes of Abbas XI finally left Roddy's face, as if in, he seemed to sigh slightly.

"Site, how long have I not seen you? Well... it should be a few years? I still saw you when your father died, when you were a child." Abbas XI The tone is sad.

Roddy closed his mouth, lowered his head and said nothing.

"I haven't seen you in a few years, you look a lot stronger, no worse than your father back then." Abbas XI slowly walked to Rody's side, stretched out his hand and patted Roddy's shoulder as if he was trying Said: "I know you are upset. Someone has reported to me what happened today."

Roddy thought for a while and wanted to say something, but was stopped by the emperor with a gesture.

"I know what you want to say, Bayan told me what happened. But I also know that there is too much water in his words, hum. I'm not too confused yet, it's just that this thing happened after all. , You are the one who fought, and you should be aware of the consequences."

Roddy nodded, Nicole had already told him when he came, try not to talk too much, saying so much wrong.

Abbas XI looked at Roddy with a playful look, a cold smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and slowly said: "Why don't you speak? I heard that your personality is not like this, right? You are out The name is so bold."

Roddy took a deep breath, slowly raised his head, looked directly at the emperor's gaze, and solemnly said: "Your Majesty, I don't know what to say. Your Majesty summoned me, naturally, he has made a decision."

A surprised look flashed in Abbas XI's eyes, and then he frowned slightly, as if hesitated for a moment, and slowly said, "You should know the battle between the Empire and the Great Moon Kingdom, right?"

Roddy thought for a while. Although the war had been concealed, such news could not be kept from the upper level, otherwise Nicole would not know. His Majesty the emperor asked himself this way, and he obviously believed that he also knew the situation. In this case, it would be useless to pretend to be stupid, so he nodded openly.

"Very good." Abbas XI nodded: "You are still smart, knowing that you can't lie to me." His tone was a little sullen. Then the empire's supreme commander changed his tone and slowly said, "So, as the heir of the Tulip family and the banner of the imperial army, what do you think?"

Roddy thought for a while and said loudly: "The Tulip family is willing to ride the battlefield for the empire, and swear to defend the dignity of the empire!"

Nicole taught him this before he came. Anyway, no matter what, the emperor will not be offended by the words of this kind of scene.

Sure enough, there was a satisfied smile on the pale face of King Abbas XI, and he said lightly: "Unfortunately, you are still young and have not inherited the title, otherwise, I really hope you can serve me—— I also hope that the undefeated history of the Tulip family will continue on you! Great Moon Kingdom! Humph! A group of uncivilized savage alien races!" Speaking of the last two sentences, His Majesty's tone clearly showed a bit of hatred.

Roddy sneered in his heart: Barbarian? A group of barbarians beat the commander of the Northwest Army you personally appointed to lose their armor and armor?

Of course, Roddy would never say that kind of words. He just swallowed and whispered: "Your Majesty's name!" It was just a slander in his heart, but it was unknown to outsiders.

Abbas XI sighed and seemed to realize that his emotions were a little out of control. He lowered his voice and said, "It's just that the empire has just been defeated and the military spirit is floating. I asked you to come because I want you to do something for me! "

Roddy immediately remembered Nicole’s instructions and hurriedly acted as infinite loyalty. He knelt down on one knee and looked up at His Majesty with a forty-five-degree angle of eager gaze. He cursed in his heart: this heir to the first family of the empire. Really suffocated.

Abbas XI stared at Roddy, seemingly satisfied with his actions, and slowly said: "I decided to advance your inheritance ceremony! Three days later, you and I will personally preside over your inheritance ceremony! If you If you can pass the examination of the empire, I will officially declare that you inherit the title of the Tulip Family! Become the new Duke Rudolph! Then, I will have a more important mission to you!"

Roddy didn't speak, but looked at the emperor with a solemn gaze. He knew that it was all about it, and he could never show a half-surprised expression on his face.

Sure enough, Abbas XI looked at Roddy’s face as calm as usual, nodded, and then announced loudly: "If you successfully inherit the title, I will appoint you as the Northwest Military Inspection Special Envoy. I order you to go to the Northwest Theater immediately. , To assist General Ruben of the Northwest Army to conduct military affairs there!"

"Huh?" Even though Roddy tried his best to maintain his composure, he couldn't hold back when he heard these words.

Want him to go to the front? Northwest inspection envoy? Is that the emperor's commission? Although Roddy has never been an official, he is a person who has experienced orthodox education at the Imperial Academy and knows the significance of this special envoy!

At special moments, that is the person in charge of Northwest military affairs! At the critical moment, he could even take the original first officer of the Northwest Army!

Abbas XI sighed.

"I know that you are still too young now. You shouldn't be burdened with such a burden right away, but now is a difficult moment for the empire. Since the Tulip family is the empire's military **** and the banner of the empire's army, you should understand that now It’s the moment when the empire needs you most!" His majestic gaze gradually softened, and the emperor also lowered his voice: "However, I can also tell you that I don’t really want you to change things right away when I let you go to the northwest. , After all, you are still young and you can’t have too much experience. What I need is a banner! At the moment of defeat of the empire, the military spirit is floating, I need your Tulip family banner to stabilize the military spirit! Set! I don’t need you to do too much Many things, as long as you go to the front line! As long as the soldiers know that the Tulip family's flag is erected, then the current floating military spirit will stabilize! Do you understand my intentions?"

"Understood." Roddy breathed a sigh of relief.

He was not afraid of going to the front line to fight. As a warrior, he had already planned to enter the army and become a professional soldier. It's just that the young man was entrusted with such an important task at once, and his heart is still unavoidable. However, the emperor made these remarks very clearly, and he did not want him to really lead the military affairs of a party-to put it bluntly, he should become a mud bodhisattva. Just show it to the soldiers of the army. After all, the myth of the undefeated military **** of the Tulip family is a good way to stabilize the military's mind.

Seeing the nervous expression on Roddy's face, Abbas XI smiled slightly and said lightly: "I believe the Tulip family will definitely not let me down, so I hope you can live up to my responsibility!"

Roddy took a deep breath, knelt down on one knee slowly, and said sternly: "Yes."

Now that he had finished saying what he should say, the emperor nodded, indicating that Roddy could leave. Roddy stood up slowly, gave a serious salute, turned and strode away.

When he reached the gate, the emperor suddenly said softly.

"Site! I heard that you and Jojo have been very close recently... I hope you don't get distracted by other things at this time!"

Roddy stiffened and sneered to himself, but slowly turned around and said seriously: "I understand."

Humph, competing with the emperor for women, I don't have that interest now!

After leaving the hall, Roddy first found Gordon to get back his light-concentrating sword, and then got into the carriage without saying a word.

Back home, Nicole was surprised to see that Roddy had returned so soon. After Roddy had said something about the emperor, Nicole showed a solemn expression on his face.

"His Majesty didn't blame you?"

Roddy sighed: "I also find it strange, he just made an understatement, and then changed the subject."

The contemplation on Nicole's face became more solemn, and after a while, she whispered: "Then, are you sure of the assessment in three days?"

Roddy nodded: "There should be no problem."

"But... but now the situation in the northwest is tense, your majesty wants you to go to the front..." Nicole showed a sad expression on his face.

Roddy felt hot and couldn't help holding Nicole's hand before walking: "Nicole, are you worried about me?"

Nicole blushed and withdrew her hand vigilantly, stepped back and looked aside. Fortunately, there are no other servants around at the moment. The two had already separated everyone around them for the purpose of talking.

Seeing Nicole dodge, Roddy felt sad and smiled bitterly: "Nicole, I'm sorry."

Ni could see that Roddy was unhappy, thinking that he would be on the front line in a few days, there was a feeling of tenderness in her heart, her eyes were red, and she said softly: "Rody, please, don't force me, okay? Now, now Our identities are different..."

Roddy showed a self-deprecating expression, just sighed, took a deep look at Nicole, and turned to leave.

"Wait!" With an anxious expression on Nicole's face, she didn't care too much in a hurry. She ran to Roddy a few steps, grabbed the corner of his clothes, and hurriedly said: "Rody! Don't get me wrong, I... ...I mean...now you are playing my brother...wait...when this matter is over, I will arrange for you to join the army...as long as you work hard...in the future...in the future I will...will Waiting for you!" The last few words are inaudible. Fortunately, as a warrior, Roddy has ears and eyes, and if he loses a bit of cultivation level, I am afraid I can't hear it.

In surprise, Roddy glared at Nicole, with ecstasy on his face: "Really? Nicole, you mean...really? Really?"

Nicole's face was flushed, and she said, "You...what do you want me? You treat me twice... rude... don't you think I am..." At the last few words, the expression on her face Almost crying.

Roddy felt very soft in his heart. In ecstasy, he grabbed Nicole's hand. This time he said that he would not let go of anything. He just said in a daze, "Then...you...don't dislike me? I'm just a man. Common people...you...you..."

Nicole showed a displeased expression on her face, and groaned: "Do you think I am from the Tulip family? How can I be that...the kind..."

At this moment, Roddy only felt that a hundred flowers were blooming in his heart, and the many days of depression were immediately wiped out. All the emperor's orders and the evaluation of the title were all forgotten, and he didn't care about anything going to the front line. Don't say let him go to the front line. Now, even if he let the sword go desperately against those alien barbarians at this moment, he would not frown!

"Nicole! Don't worry! I will work hard! I will definitely do something, and I will never humiliate your Tulip family's reputation!" Roddy flushed with excitement and shouted.

"Shut up!" Nicole flushed, but stomped straight anxiously, wishing to cover Roddy's mouth with her hand: "You shut up! What is this place! Don't shout!"

Roddy shut up, but reached out to hug Nicole excitedly. Nicole blushed, dodged and hurriedly opened the door and ran out.

Roddy stared blankly at Nicole as she walked out the door, feeling that all the hardship she had suffered for many days was worth it, and she was so excited that she couldn't wait to shout three times.

"What a fool!" A cynic voice suddenly came from his mind.

"Andy! Shut up!" Roddy was not in the mood to quarrel with Andy when he was happy.

"Huh! I say you stupid!" Andy's voice is cold: "It doesn't matter if the man is a stupid, the woman is quite clever, but I did not expect to be stunned by that **** love! Your **** emperor is called You go to die! So obvious a plan to kill someone with a knife, you two fools have the stupid appearance of being slaughtered sheep! I think the emperor is really happy at this moment! I am afraid that firecrackers will be set off in the palace! Idiot!!!"
