443. War
The housekeeper nodded and soon ordered people to find a carriage. Four white horses were all snow-white and without a trace of color to pull the carriage that looked quite luxurious, which attracted people's attention.
A demon dressed up as a coachman and drove for Wang Bo himself.
Wang Bo changed into the duke's cumbersome uniform, and the wearer at his waist was decorated with a fine sword, and he stepped onto the carriage with black leather boots.
Under the leadership of the envoy sent by the king, he left his castle and headed to the palace.
The carriage walked forward and soon arrived at the palace.
Although Wang Bo’s country is just a small country on this big road, the palace is still quite grand.
After all, the palace is the face of a country. If it is too shabby, it is easy to be despised. Therefore, whether it is to demonstrate national strength or face, the palace must be gorgeous and grand.
Wang Bo entered the palace, parked the carriage in front of the palace, got off the carriage, and walked up the stairs, about hundreds of stairs before he arrived at the gate of the palace.
Several palace guards saw Wang Bo and quickly pushed open the palace gate.
Wang Bo walked through the hall of the palace and, led by the messenger, came to the king's study.
As soon as Wang Bo entered, he saw an old elderly man sitting behind a mahogany desk.
The old man was wearing a gorgeous dress, a crown on his head, and half of his golden hair turned white, making him look very old.
But in the Duke's memory, the king was only in his fifties, but his years of work and the huge energy invested in governing the country made the king in his fifties look like an old man in his seventies.
Wang Bo could clearly feel that the energy in the king's body was constantly passing.
He is almost out of reach.
At most, no more than three years, or about one year, you will die.
"You're here, Slant."
When the king saw Wang Bo, he stood up and walked around the desk, smiled and opened his hands, and hugged Wang Bo.
By the way, the duke replaced by Wang Bo is called Slant, and the king is called Derek.
Wang Bo bent down to salute according to the etiquette in the duke's memory, and said calmly: "Your Majesty, don't you know if you are looking for me, are there anything important?"
The king nodded and said with a heavy face: "Slant, we are in trouble."
"Trouble, I don't know what kind of trouble it is?" Wang Bo asked in confusion.
"War!" said the king with a gloomy face, "The two countries around us have started war again, and we are likely to be implicated."
They are just a small country surrounded by great powers. Whenever a country develops, they like to fight on their territory, which makes them suffer from war.
The king was helpless, too.
In order to make his people live a happy life, he worked hard and did not dare to slack off. However, whenever war broke out, his country would always suffer.
The work he had done for this country, and even many of the orders issued, would be destroyed by war.
So the king hates war more than anyone else.
Wang Bo suddenly realized and said, "I understand, Your Majesty, since the war has occurred, what we have to do is to transfer the civilians as soon as possible."
This country has experienced wars not once or twice, so they have sufficient experience to transfer people to safe places before the war occurs.
As for what the two countries will be like next, they will not be able to control it.
After all, they are just a small country and do not have the ability to stop the war. After the two countries are fighting, the king will send the transferred people back and continue to live.
"Yes, I want to hand over this mission to you, Slant, I believe you won't let me down." The king looked at Wang Bo, his eyes full of trust.
At least in his memory, his duke never disappointed him.
Wang Bo nodded and said calmly: "Of course, Your Majesty."
Seeing Wang Bo agreeing so readily, the king nodded with relief, "You are a good person, Slant, I have always trusted you very much, but you'd better set off immediately, because according to the situation I've obtained, the war is coming."
Wang Bo nodded slightly, "Yes, Your Majesty, I will set out tonight."
After saying goodbye to the king, Wang Bo turned around and left the study, walked through the palace, and went down the stairs. When he was about to leave the palace in a carriage, a voice suddenly stopped him.
"Duke."
Wang Bo stopped, turned his head and saw a young and heroic man wearing a sword around his waist slowly coming over.
There was also a big guy around him.
"Prince Kitt."
Wang Bo recognized this heroic man at a glance as the king's son, the prince of this country, the first heir to the throne, and of course the only heir to the throne.
After all, the king has only him, and the big guy beside him is the head guard of the palace.
All the guards in the palace followed his command.
In the Duke's memory, this guard captain had a good hand and was able to play with exquisite Western swordsmanship. Especially fencing, it was very fast, ruthless and accurate, and was also Prince Kit's swordsmanship teacher.
"Good afternoon, Duke." Prince Kit walked over quickly, his hair was wet and his breathing was a little rapid, and it was obvious that he had just passed a fierce exercise.
It must have been a fierce duel with his commander guard, so he was sweating profusely.
"Good afternoon, Prince Kit." Wang Bo said calmly; "Is there anything you have to do with me?"
"Is the Duke entering the palace today because of his father's summons?" asked Prince Kit.
"certainly."
"Is it because of war?"
"Yes."
"So the Duke is going to transfer civilians now?"
"That's right, prince." Wang Bo nodded. He was not surprised why the prince knew about this. After all, the old king was almost out of reach, and the young prince had grown up.
The prince has been in contact with many government affairs in this country, which is a must-have experience for a heir to the throne.
"Then can I act with the Duke? As a prince, I hope to help my people." Prince Kit finally explained his purpose to Wang Bo.
Wang Bo said without hesitation: "You should ask Your Majesty, Your Highness, Your Highness, Your Highness, If Your Majesty agrees, I will never object, Your Highness, Your Highness."
Prince Kitt heard Wang Bo's affirmation and couldn't help but smile happily, "That's great. I'll ask my father now. I don't know when the Duke plans to act."
"Tonight." Wang Bo responded.
"So quickly?" Prince Kit was startled and said quickly: "I'll face my father now."
