Chapter 366

"Listen to Xiao Yin and his majesty mention that young master ningyue is a very smart man. I must have come to a conclusion in my heart when I come here all the way. I invite you to come today. What's the matter?"

With a faint smile, the queen picked up the teacup and took a sip of it without saying the final answer.

Ning Yue naturally understood that the other party wanted him to say it by himself, and simply replied, "the queen is for the reason that she said something in public yesterday, and that I was honored as her direct Royal knight, right?"

The queen said, "yes, that's it. Presumably, Mr. ningyue didn't know what this royal Knight meant. I still don't know whether Xiaoyin really knows the true meaning of this identity. "

"I'd like to hear about it." To tell you the truth, Ning Yue himself is also curious about what kind of identity is the Royal knight who can make Chi Feng move.

"The name of the Royal Knight still originated from the demons. In the demon world, every Lord will confer knights on the brave and loyal people under his command. The Royal Knights, however, are granted directly by the emperor of each branch of the demon clan, symbolizing the supreme glory. In every war between human beings and demons, any royal Knight will make us feel tricky. It's not easy to deal with it, let alone kill it. "

Speaking of this, the queen stopped and asked with a smile, "well, young master ningyue might as well have a guess. It is clear that the title originated from the demon clan. Why was it introduced into the human world later?"

After thinking for a while, Ning Yue replied, "I think it's not just the people who have been canonized as loyal and brave. In the hands of the Royal Knights of human beings, they must be stained with the blood of the Royal Knights of the demon clan. Am I right? This name is used by human beings to deter the army of the demons, preempt them and kill their morale. "

Nodding, the queen said with a smile, "absolutely right. At first, the brave people who could kill the Royal Knights of the demon clan did not know how to reward them. Later, in order to encourage them to make further efforts, they were granted the same name, which was the Royal knight. This name originated thousands of years ago, but when the biggest disaster caused by the demons subsided, human beings were able to breathe for hundreds of years, and then fought against the demons, which was not as tragic as it was at the beginning. As a result, the origin of the name is gradually forgotten, just as a symbol of honor. Many empires still retain this title in the border areas of all nations, but few of them have been able to hold the post over the years. "

With a little awe in his heart, Ning Yue asked: "is there any royal knight in the snow dragon Empire today?"

The queen replied, "yes, five of them have been canonized one by one in the past ten years. Four of them were defending the northern frontier of the Empire, fighting against the demons, and swearing in their actual war achievements. They are worthy of this name. And the last one, because he was disabled in a battle, the Empire allowed him to keep the name of the Royal knight and return to seclusion. You may have heard of his name

know of? Disabled? Seclusion?

The three most important clues linger in my mind. Suddenly, I'd rather lose my voice.

"The young master of the Zhang family, Zhang Yong!"

"Yes, that's him. If he had not returned to the desperate battlefield alone to rescue Liu Guozhao, his legs would have been disabled. I'm afraid he's not just a royal knight, but... "

"It's the Grand Marshal of the Empire."

Ningyue said the answer, although he only heard Sima Tiansong mentioned once, but also firmly remember the real name of Chifeng, Liu Guozhao. I have to say that this name comes from the family of generations of farmers. It sounds too old and serious. With the identity of Xi Yuan Shuai, I'm afraid people who don't know it will think it's an old man.

"So that night you also saw that Liu Guozhao was merciful to Zhang's family, just to repay his former favor. After all, it was Zhang Yong who recited him from the dead. Otherwise, he would have died that year. "

She lifted up the tea cup and sipped it lightly. The queen shook her head and laughed at herself and said, "how can I tell you this? Well, back to the subject, let's talk about the status of direct knight. In fact, there is a difference between knights directly under the Knights and Royal Knights, but many people confuse them. Because, the canonization of knights directly under the royal family must also be issued, but not necessarily the emperor

"Just like mu Yinyin, she was canonized in the name of princess." Rather more added a sentence, seems to be secretly remind the queen, this time don't pull the topic away. Although he was interested in some unknown secrets of the snow dragon empire.

The queen said with a smile: "most knights are canonized by imperial princesses or princesses, and only one person is canonized for themselves. Once it's decided, it can't be changed for life. For them, the Knights under their command are the best assistants. Although they also have to assume the duty of security, they are far more than that. The Knights directly under them are more like the adjutants beside them. No matter when they march, or when they are in power, they must follow the left and right, and do their best. "

Face slightly a draw, rather more helpless said: "that is to say, now I want to listen to the evening Yinyin?"

"Although she's your superior, you can't satisfy all her conditions endlessly. As a direct knight, you also need to correct her mistakes and point out her shortcomings. However, none of these matters. What I really want to tell you is the following. I'm afraid Xiaoyin doesn't know about this, just one for the princess. "

Suddenly, the more I heard the empress's tone, the more serious she was. She put down her tea cup and sat down.

Similarly, the queen put down her teacup, folded her hands on her lap, and said in a straight tone: "well, the princess of the empire is different from the prince. If she can't make achievements in military and political affairs, then the road left to her is not as easy as spending her life leisurely. It's about making friends. Or married to a foreign country, or rewarded with outstanding family children. In that case, their Knights must follow. Therefore, there is a worst possibility. I think you should also know that marriage with relatives is an expedient measure. Sometimes, it can't get long-term peace. "

Ning Yue understood and replied, "do you mean that if the empire goes to war with the forces that were originally in peace? If so, the married Princess will be in a very awkward situation. "

After nodding slightly, the queen continued: "of course, not to mention the possibility of the Empire's failure. After the Empire defeated the other side, the rebels must be executed. But after all, the princess was married on her own side. If she lives, she will surely return to her hometown and spend the rest of her life in peace. Of course, the treatment is the same as before. If the princess dies, those waiting for the Knights directly under her will be buried with her in a foreign country. "

"You don't seem to say that if the princess is alive, she will be treated as a knight."

Ningyue vaguely guessed that there must be some imperial edicts that normal people can't accept.

"Yes, in that case, for the Knights directly under the knights, sometimes it may be more unacceptable than direct burial. As a direct knight, any marriage must be approved by the Empire. At least, with the consent of the princess herself. When the princess and her relatives perish, the princess returns to her homeland, and the Knights must marry her and accompany her for the rest of her life. If you have married before, you can either quit or be reduced to a concubine. "

The Queen's words fell, rather more immediately dumbfounded.

"You've seen Xiaoyin's love of mischief. She's not bad at talent, but she doesn't have to be on the right path. The latest is when she is 20 years old. If she hasn't made enough progress and can't be on her own, it's likely that she will face the same road with her parents. As her direct knight, you should understand your situation? "

Seeing the tangle and shock in ningyue's eyes, the queen picked up the tea cup again and sipped it lightly.

"Of course, there is a possibility that there have been precedents in many empires on the borders of all nations. The Knights directly under him made outstanding contributions and had a good relationship with the princess. Finally, he proposed to the emperor. From Princess and knight to the last mate, it sounds like a fairy tale. It's very romantic, isn't it

"Yes, what? In short, you have two meanings, either I'll be buried with her or I'll marry her? Moreover, there are two cases of the latter... "

The three black lines on his forehead slipped, but soon, Ning Yue's mind flashed an idea that he had never thought of. He looked up at the queen and asked, "as a knight directly under his command, what is the minimum merit requirement for marrying the princess?"

Suddenly, the queen covered her mouth with a smile and said, "I didn't expect that your mind moved so fast. Now, what do you think of Xiaoyin? "

As soon as his cheek turned red, he would rather turn his head to one side and hum: "don't misunderstand me. I just want to figure out in advance how I can avoid the worst. "

"If you can be a marshal, you should have that qualification." The queen was still laughing, and the thin curtain couldn't cover her body, which made her feel speechless.

"You need to be a marshal to marry a princess?"

"An ordinary Princess may be a general, but Xiaoyin is the first princess of the Empire and the daughter of Marshal Nan. Of course it's not the same."

The queen joked, then lowered her voice.

"In fact, I wonder if Xiaoyin knows the full meaning of direct knights. Among the young men of the same age, apart from Chang Xuanxuan, who has been playing since childhood, and Cheng Xiaoya, who is neither male nor female, the rest belong to those who have a good relationship with you, and have quickly established trust in a short time. To be honest, as her sister, I care what she thinks of you. And what do you think of her? "

Ningyue shrugged his shoulders and said, "it doesn't mean what you think. I just know her that time, from her eyes, as if to see the past that biting teeth to support their own, but also at that time when I was wandering, about to forget the will. So, I want to help her. It's as simple as that. Friendship gradually accumulates, mutual trust and relationship are good. "

"What about Zhili? You will never tell me that at your vigorous age, none of the girls who have a close relationship with you has ever thought that way. In that case, I doubt that some of your hobbies are quite normal. "

"More impossible!" Rather more quickly a shout.

The queen said with a playful smile, "which is more impossible? Do you have no idea about Zhili, or is it a bad hobby? "

Ning Yue simply got up, bowed his hand and said, "you know clearly, don't tease me any more, OK? I've finished the tea, and I've learned about the Knights. Almost. It's time to leave. My companion is still waiting for me in the college

"Well, one last question, I'll let you go when I finish. If Xiaoyin and Zhili asked you to choose one, who would you marry? Don't worry. Your answer is just a secret between us. No one else will know it. "
