Chapter 125: Quarrel in the Tent
Inside the tent.
The general didn't want to pay any attention to Jiaka. He turned around and continued to talk to Cobra:
"Your Highness, I think you should stay in the barracks for the time being. There are 3 soldiers here. I don't think the enemy will come alone. Besides, I have sent someone to report the situation. Can we wait for the king's order to arrive before taking the next step?"
Cobra fell silent upon hearing this. He stood up and walked back and forth in the tent.
What the general said makes sense! Even Mr. Kit is not his enemy, so what can we do if we seal off the city for investigation? Isn't it easy for the other party to break out?
Damn it! What should I do?
"Hey! Look at you! You just don't want to send troops to rescue people! How dare you openly disobey His Highness's order?"
Seeing that the fat general kept making excuses, Gaka couldn't help but slam the table, stood up and angrily accused him.
"Humph! I'm just following the rules. Your Highness' safety is the most important thing anyway. If something unexpected happens to Your Highness, can you take responsibility for it?"
"Damn it! You bastard! Stop using His Highness's safety as an excuse. It's obviously you who don't want to send troops to rescue Lord Kit!"
"If we really fight the enemy, I will do my best to protect His Highness Cobra. Any enemy who wants to hurt His Highness will have to step over my body! I won't be like you, who only cares about His Highness's safety. If the enemy really comes to kill us, I think you will be the first one to retreat!"
Gaka excitedly grabbed the general's collar and yelled loudly.
The general glanced at His Royal Highness the Prince from the corner of his eye, and seeing that he was still thinking with his head down, he had no intention of speaking out to stop him, so he could only frown and say:
"Mr. Guard, please pay attention to your attitude. Your words are slandering my innocence. Also, please let me go. I will definitely report your words and actions to your superiors!"
"You can complain all you want! Just remember this! I'm Kaka from the Kingdom Guard! My superior officer is Lord Kit!"
"Stop that Kaka!"
Cobra on the side finally spoke up to stop them, interrupting their quarrel with an angry shout.
"General, I was indeed inconsiderate in mobilizing the entire army to seal off the city. Thank you for your reminder. I also understand your difficulties. Let's put it this way. Within the scope of your authority, transfer a small team of soldiers to me. I need manpower to help find Kit."
"Your Highness..."
The general wanted to continue to show that he was very worried about the safety of His Highness, but was interrupted by Cobra:
"You don't need to persuade me anymore. I can't just leave old man Kit alone. I've made up my mind! I will write a letter to your majesty, explaining that I forced you to mobilize the army. I will never punish you for dereliction of duty. If you keep making excuses, don't blame me for turning against you!"
The fat and big-eared general suddenly broke out in a cold sweat. At this moment, the powerful aura displayed by His Highness Cobra had made him feel tremendous pressure, just like when he was facing His Majesty the King!
"Yes, yes, Your Highness. I will mobilize 1 men for you, which is already more than the stipulated quota of ! Please forgive me, Your Highness!"
The general relented.
"Okay! Just two thousand people!"
Cobb made the decision immediately, then looked at Jakka and gave the order.
"Jaka, go gather the troops with the general, and let's go search and rescue old man Kit now!"
"Yes! Your Highness!"
Gaka responded loudly.
Even though Kit is called the guardian of the kingdom, he is still just a subject, not to mention that the title of guardian can be succeeded by other people.
Therefore, compared with the safety of the only successor to the throne, the guardian god can be sacrificed. Protecting the royal family is one of their missions as the guards of the kingdom. Now seeing that His Highness Cobra can disregard his own safety and resolutely send troops to rescue Kit, Jakka, who is also a minister, feels fortunate to have met such a wise master.
A gentleman will die for his friend. Jakka secretly made up his mind to serve His Highness Cobra until his death!
As soon as the two walked out of the door, Cobra in the tent heard the cry of an eagle coming from outside. He rushed out of the tent in a hurry and bumped into Jakka, who also heard the sound and stopped at the door of the tent to look out.
"Ah, Your Highness, are you okay? Your Highness! It's Master Kit, it's Master Kit who's back!"
"Yeah, I saw it."
Jakka was in a panic, supporting Cobra who had fallen to the ground while speaking excitedly.
"Your Highness!"
The big bird landed in front of the tent, its feathers fell off, and it turned back into Kit kneeling on one knee.
"Old man, are you okay? How did you get hurt like this?"
Seeing the bruised and battered guardian, Cobra and Jakka hurried forward to support him.
"I'm fine. I only have minor injuries. It's nothing serious. Your Highness, please ask your attendants to leave. I have something important to report to you!"
Kit said with a serious and solemn expression.
Cobra's expression also became serious, knowing that Kit's return in this state must have been caused by a lot of unexpected things.
"I understand. Let's get up and talk in the tent."
"Yes!"
Cobra walked into the tent after he finished speaking, and Kit followed closely behind him. As soon as he entered the tent door, he stopped and turned to the dazed Jakka and shouted:
"You come in too!"
"Oh well!"
Jakka responded and ran in happily, leaving the general standing there awkwardly rubbing his palms. He instantly felt a sense of loneliness as he was excluded from the center of power. He regretted not going all in and standing on His Highness Cobra's stage. He took two tentative steps forward and heard Kit say:
"Are you the kid from the old pig family?"
"Master Kit, I didn't expect you knew my father? It's an honor."
"Haha, you and your father are cut from the same cloth. Not only do you look alike, but your personalities are similar too!"
I didn't hear the hidden meaning in Kit's words.
General Zhu looked flattering and wanted to go forward to continue to get close to him, but he heard Kit change the subject and said coldly:
"Didn't your father tell you the consequences of knowing things you shouldn't know?"
The smile on General Zhu's face froze. He wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, took two steps back, clasped his fists, and saluted:
"Thank you for the reminder, Master Kit!"
"You guys, stand guard around here. No one is allowed to approach within 50 steps of the camp!"
After arranging the soldiers to guard fifty steps away, he turned around and left.
Kit shook his head, let down the curtain and walked into the tent.
