Law of the Devil Chapter 593: [Eastern Beacon]
Chapter 591 [Eastern Beacon]
This man who is obviously old, at this moment, his eyes are bright as if they can directly shine into people's hearts.
It ’s just that Camisiro bowed his head deliberately, not facing the other person ’s eyes, lowering his head, but said a word gently:
"Have you forgotten ... I'm your niece-in-law. This family ... will always be mine. Anyone, always find a way out for themselves."
The words are not loud, but they fall into the ears of the old prime minister, making the old man's face slightly changed.
Finally, Robescher sat down slowly, patted his knees gently, stared at Camisiro and looked at it for a while, then smiled: "Okay, you get up. "
Camisiro then looked up and looked at the eyes of the old prime minister: "I was also very surprised. I didn't expect that you have stood in the empire for decades, Ming Zhe protects yourself, but you have yours in the palace early. People. "
"Careful." The old prime minister glanced at Camisiro.
Camisiro smiled with a mockery: "You taught me to be foolish, to be clear, not to speculate on the king's mind. But you already have eyeliner in the palace early ... This can teach you It ’s different. "
"This is different." The old prime minister sneered, and the old majesty of the imperial prime minister naturally revealed in his eyes: "What is your status now? Secretary of the military ... hmm, but you are young, lacking qualifications, and the Ministry of Military Affairs Here, those big men, you may not be able to move them. With your current status, status and honor, you can be regarded as the first-class minister of the empire. But if you really talk about the power in your hands, I am afraid even the second-rate May not be touched! High position but not heavy power ... As your identity, I teach you not to speculate on the king's mind, that is the right way, and it is for your good. "
Speaking, the old man sighed tiredly: "I'm different. I've been rolling in the waters of this imperial capital since I was 20 years old, from the Finance Department, the Department of Imperial Etiquette, the Supervision Department. The military commander, rolling all the way, During this period, I was transferred to a place where I sat for four years as governor. It can be said that I have sat almost all over the various departments and official positions of this empire! Finally, as the prime minister of the empire, it took me half a lifetime. In my position , It ’s nice to say. It ’s under one person and over tens of millions. It ’s awkward to say ... ”
The old man suddenly smiled with a sarcastic look: "If I meet a faint emperor, I have the power to say that the crow is white, and he only knows it is white ground! Of course. This is an indifferent heart, I certainly No. But ... ordinary courtiers, instead of speculating on the emperor's mind, can only be a pure 'monitor'. But ... I can't! The imperial governor of the empire can't do it! Being under one person. Over ten million people , Then even less! So, what I teach you not to do is from your standpoint. However, in my position, it must be done! "
Since the old man let go of his mind, he simply said frankly: "I knew it early on, the position of the prime minister of the empire. Holding the government of a country is no longer a pure minister, but ... half a king! I must always understand the thoughts of the palace. In fact, this kind of thing has been through generations. I have had eyeliner in the imperial city for many years. But this eyeliner? I do n’t even plan What a big deal. Just asking for a safe message, naturally, it is not easy to expose. "Then. The old man glanced at Camisiro, "I just can't think of these people, they even knew that I was dying, and I turned to you."
Camisilo hesitated and laughed twice: "As long as you are a person, you have to find a way for yourself. This family is mine in the future anyway. Are you planning to conceal me forever?"
Camisilo didn't hide it either, he said frankly: "The other day, you got sick in the winter and couldn't be a director. I took care of everything in this family. As a result, there are some daily family affairs. The strange secret letter was sent, but I did n’t know where it came from. This curiosity got up. I checked it, but found that the secret letter was all written in secret words. Even ordinary people can get it. I do n’t understand, but you forgot what I did. I was under the command of the eldest prince for ten years, and I was no longer familiar with this secret credit code. Moreover, you and the palace The eyeliner and the secret words in it are actually not clever. I took a little thought and deciphered it. Only then did I know that the letter was actually the news from the palace, even more unexpected, you are so For years, I have always had eyeliners in the imperial city. In that letter, it was nothing more than trivial matters, what the regent ’s diet has been, what emperor Charlie had lost, what book Princess Karina read, the regent Chief no less busy day and see Queen Princess ...... "
"Well, I'm not trying to rebel, nor do I need to listen to big things. As long as you know these trivial things, you can have a general grasp of the situation in the court." The old prime minister shook his head: "If I really Listening to any secrets, this eyeliner may have been exposed decades ago! "
"It's just that trivial things are finally worthwhile." Camisiro smiled wryly: "There have been many new doctors recently changed in the court. This matter has made me pay attention."
The old man groaned for a moment: "Since you also know, then it seems that my eyeliner in the court has been conquered by you. Anyway, these are going to be delivered to you sooner or later ..."
Speaking, the old man turned around and found a pen from the table. On a piece of white paper, he slowly wrote down a few lines.
He looked up at Camisiro: "I have been eyeliner in the imperial city for decades. Over the years, I have never deliberately listened to the secrets of the royal family, but I have paid attention to some seemingly ordinary daily things. You have to know, in fact, there are many seemingly simple things, but they tell you a lot of secrets!
He handed over this paper: "In the past, the internal affairs of the palace, the physicians of the court would regularly purchase some medicinal materials and reserve them in the palace. Over the years, what medicine to buy and how much to buy have become routine. . And those palace magicians ... Huh. The special potions used by magicians were originally bought from the magic union, but the palace magician and the magic union are not the same, so the housekeeping in the palace has always been responsible for regular procurement. .Since the beginning of last year, the palace ’s house purchase list has changed. With each purchase, there are extra special medicines and magic potions that were previously unavailable. These extra things. If it is only a single month, it is suddenly added. It is not strange to write it down. It may be that some magician conducts magic research, and there is a temporary demand. However, since the beginning of last year, there are so many things in the list every month, although the number of species occasionally changes, But a few of them are the same.
He flicked the paper in his hand: "This paper is written on the list of purchases in recent months. There are more new land varieties than usual. I didn't care, but according to Convention. I still send people to remote places in the south, and I went to the doctor to find out, and figured out the role and efficacy of the medicine on this list, so I figured it out. Our regent ... "
The old man frowned and sighed silently.
Camissiro glanced, but he firmly carried his back in his heart, turned around, took the paper, and walked to a candle in the house. He put the paper together and burned it to ashes.
He stood by the fire, and the flames reflected on his face. The young face flickered, "Since everything has been said ... then. You must always give me a clear statement ... In case, on that day, His Highness is gone, and the Duke of Tulips has a chat with the royal family again. What should I do! "
The old man closed his eyes: "I'm afraid I can't live this spring ... the day you said, I can't see it. But if there is one day, you ..."
The door is tightly closed. One empire, one old and one young. No one heard the conversation in this room. And the night breeze outside was blowing, blowing the treetops in the yard, making rustling movements, it seemed that the sound of the conversation inside the house was all covered in this night ...
The Empire, 966, the last day of March.
The eastern fortress of Kaspersky's line of defense.
The southern bank of the artificial river canal that was dug was originally built during the winter. Some temporary barracks were built on the river bank. These were for the river workers who were mobilized. Several soldiers from the infantry regiment were stationed during the winter. In order to ensure that the river does not freeze in the winter, these manpower were prepared, which were originally iced in the winter.
As a result, this warm winter has made these preparations useless. In the spring, the river workers and the army stationed on the riverside were transferred back, and in the temporary barracks, there were a large number of prepared iron chisels. , Shovel, iron goblet and other tools have never been shipped back.
Not far to the south is the eastern fortress. Although this fortress is slightly smaller than the main one in the central region, it can also be called a rare city on the mainland. This fortress houses six divisional empires and wraps three divisions. , Plus three elites selected from the local garrison mobilized from various places, in addition to about 60,000 river workers and civilian husbands, as well as logistics-heavy troops.
On the east side of the fortress, a gap was opened on the city wall, and a tall floating tower was built. Below it was a 50-meter-wide approach channel leading directly to the canal, which enabled the transport fleet on the river to Transport the goods directly into the city.
After this spring, the weather is getting warmer every day, because there is a big river serving as a natural barrier, there are patrols of the imperial navy warships on the river, and a small-scale warship fleet below the water village wall on the east side of the fortress. Stationed here. Therefore, the Empire's scout cavalry still patrols the city every day, patrolling back and forth along the south bank of the canal.
From this point of view, the situation of the eastern defense line is much easier than the situation of the main traffic jam in the central area.
Although last year there were incidents of barbaric ethnic enemies attacking the fleet, but after several attacks of that kind, they never appeared again. Later, the fleet of transports intensified their precautions. The tense atmosphere lasted for half a year, but there was no new situation, and finally it gradually relaxed.
On the morning of this day, a cavalryman of the Centurion came out from the north gate of the fortress, first patrolling around the north end of the fortress, and then divided into two teams, along the south bank of the canal, all the way to the left and all the way Go right to patrol.
These are the elite cavalry of the Storm Legion, wearing thick armor, carrying a one-handed cross-cutting sword on their backs, and immediately carrying the cavalry's lance.
Because the weather is getting warmer, the water flow on the river is slow. The morning sun shines on the river surface, which dyes the calm river water into a light golden halo.
The cavalry look relaxed, and the eastern defense has not had any major wars since the beginning of the war. Those brutal race enemies must also know that the river is insurmountable, so I have never heard of attacking here. After the spring, the main traffic jam in the middle of the country played two fierce battles. I heard that even the magician was dispatched, and the empire returned A new sacred step powerhouse appeared.
The cavalry, under the leadership of the captain, slowly moves their horses. From time to time, they look at the north shore. Usually, they will occasionally see the other side's wolf cavalry patrol, but across a large river, those wolves The cavalry couldn't come over either side, at most, they looked at each other across the river and left.
The cavalry out of the city today took less than a meal, and suddenly saw that as soon as the captain of the front cavalry raised his hand, the team stopped immediately.
The captain of the cavalry turned back, his face was a bit ugly: "You listen!"
Many cavalry stopped their horseshoes in this way, and surely they heard a faint and rhythmic "Wow! Wow! Wow!" coming from the north!
The sound seems to be still far away, but gradually, gradually, it is faintly approaching.
And looking at the river next to me, the water on the river seems to be in the sound, the water surface is slight, and the rhythm is a shock, a shock ...
The captain of the cavalry immediately took out the telescope and looked towards the North Shore. He only glanced at him immediately, his face suddenly changed!
In the small telescope lens barrel, the picture appears: from a wide field north of the river, when viewed from afar, the sky is everywhere, endless, one by one, like an ant, a dense black matrix, densely packed, His head throbbed, and his sword was like a black forest of steel!
Ten thousands of feet trampled on the ground, with a neat rhythm! The neat footsteps, like a thunderous thunder, hit people's hearts. And during that march, the clanging sound of the armor collision turned into a piece, as if a chilling note ...
