Two thousand imperial cavalry marched into Locke, which really made the situation tense
While everyone was speculating about the reaction of the Medici family, the reason why the two thousand imperial cavalry entered Rockcastle was also revealed by someone who was interested. It turned out to be the two princesses of the Royal Family of Rila, Samari and Visi. When we came to Locke, the 2,000 imperial cavalry arrived only as escorts. With the joint efforts of all parties, the turmoil in the city was quickly calmed down.
At Rock Fort at night, the fat man rode a carriage slowly forward in a crowded neighborhood, looking at the people in colorful clothes around him, and the shops with various decorations on both sides of the market. The fat man’s eyes were clear and bright. There were only eight captains of the Imperial Guards dressed as cavalry guards who accompanied the car. This configuration was only common in Rockberg. In just ten minutes, the fat man had seen three more luxurious carriages passing by the car. , Such a frequency, even if it is placed in the Imperial Sea City, and this is just a port city on the coastline of Central Europe
"It’s not surprising. It’s during the most famous confession festival in Fort Locke. During these ten days, the entire Anlock’s art works will be auctioned, especially the Master Enkoro’s confession. The auction of one of his latest paintings during the festival has attracted many nobles and dignitaries from all over the mainland. You must know that Master Encoluo’s previous painting "Inner Sea Spring" was sold for 150 in the imperial market. "One hundred thousand high price" Princess Samarie, who was sitting opposite, said with excitement, especially when he mentioned this master Enkelo, she was even more beautiful. It seems that she is also a fan of this great painter. Rockberg is worthy of being called CEIBS. As the capital of culture and art in Barrow, the atmosphere here is indeed completely different from the outside world.
I have to say that the coexistence strategy implemented by the Medici in Rockburg is quite successful
Especially before this big storm is about to come, because the Imperial Navy closed all other ports on the coast of Central Europe and Baro, leaving only the Rockberg family, all parties do not want this opportunity to make big money. Lost, they are actively maintaining this atmosphere. With vested interests, even many forces have actively suppressed some unfriendly situations with ulterior motives and wanting to fish in troubled waters, and also ordered everyone not to come close to where the imperial military team is stationed. The private house of the Royal Family of Rila, of course, in name, is to avoid causing trouble to the two Royal Princesses of Rila. In essence, it is that no one wants to find out that there is an imperial envoy.
So the city in front of us has not been affected by the Sino-European War in the slightest. It is still prosperous and crowded.
"One and a half million imperial gold. Collect this site┏Ⅹ④③⑨⑨┛..."
Hearing this number, the fat man’s expression was just a bit surprised. Those who can spend so much money to buy a painting are probably those idle and painful imperial merchants. With the imperial merchant group, the imperial merchants are flooding. , A large number of wealth gathered, in order to show your own uniqueness and quickly increase your influence among merchants, it is not impossible to spend 1.5 million imperial gold to buy a painting. Anyway, whether you will appreciate it or not, at least This gimmick is out,
Princess Samarie, who sits opposite, has a slight red face, with a faint pink lip gloss on her face, and her long hair dyed in coffee color is naturally spread on her shoulders, a blue polka dot hair The belt curled up from the back of the head to the top of the head, and then tied a playful knot on the top of the head. The overall makeup is youthful and cute, and his eyes quietly swept over the imperial emperor who was gazing at the scene outside the car.
"This time, it is said that the master’s new work is even more incredible. I heard that it is a portrait of the imperial emperor personally commanding the battlefield, named "Scythe of the God of War"
It is said that the master used a special method. Only four months ago, he had the opportunity to get close to the emperor within 30 meters, and quietly painted this peerless work from memory. Just because of this, it was enough to inspire all parts of the mainland. Aristocrats gathered here, especially aristocratic women. . . . . "Samarie gritted her teeth, but her voice became smaller and weaker when she spoke, her face flushed and scared of others
"After all, it's just a portrait, not to mention that I have been on the battlefield in person for more than half a year, let alone let someone draw a portrait"
The fat man looked astonished when he heard that it was a portrait of himself. He has no habit of painting portraits, because he thinks that portraits that are deliberately placed are like portraits, which are too unlucky, even in the imperial palace. , The emperor’s portraits are only two or three, and they are still drawn by a few imperial princesses, and they will not be placed in the hall. They are just placed in each princess’s bedroom.
The opposite of Samaritan was very serious and took a deep breath and said, "Your Majesty may find this ridiculous, but I don't think so. The portrait of your Majesty is actually not uncommon, and it is even popular among the nobles. But most of them are speculation works by ordinary painters. These painters have never seen your Majesty in their lives, let alone know what the Imperial Majesty looks like. The portraits they draw are more dictated by people who have met the emperor. And portraying, through the inner solidified posture, the face of your Majesty is put on the necks of other people. The portrait of your Majesty drawn like this is very good if it looks like five or six points, not to mention that it is like a god. However, Master Ankelo is different. The first-hand portrait sketch has reached the level where the hair can be seen. If Master Ankelo really painted your Majesty, then at least your Majesty will have more than nine points, not to mention, your Majesty is on the battlefield. The heroic posture of sweeping the enemy"
"On the battlefield, where is the hero, what I think is nothing more than who kills people." The corner of the fat man's mouth smiled disapprovingly
"Does your Majesty also think that war is a bad thing?" Princess Samari's body trembled slightly. She did not expect a generation of undefeated military gods to annihilate the Gaul Empire in the North and annex the Gangfei Empire in the South. In the past few years, the imperial emperor, who has swept through Northern Europe Barrow, the sword is directed, and everyone is terrified, will say such words. Is this the imperial tyrant who is rumored to kill millions of people?
"War is just a means of serving politics. Killing for the sake of killing is only for mental illness and lunatics. Just like when I came to Locke this time, you can see that I am here to kill?" The fat man's mouth curled slightly. I shrugged my shoulders and made a deliberate expression of complaining. "Okay, let's go with the so-called portrait. I am more concerned about the Chianos morning wine pairing. Since I have come to Locke, how can I not taste it here? It’s famous and delicious, but I think your outfits are a little bit too luxurious, but being watched by others with strange eyes while playing, really makes me a little uncomfortable."
"Sorry, I was too negligent"
A tinge of blush appeared on Samari's complexion. In order to show this man the most beautiful side that had never been shown to others, she did make a small mistake between her dress and the itinerary. She is wearing a white slim chiffon long skirt. The waist of this skirt is raised very high. The white and thin shoulders and arms are exposed. The two beautiful tube tops under the collarbones are decorated with lotus leaf folds, which just conceal it. The size of the two bulges, the chiffon long skirt has the corners of the ankle length, and the two white insteps are more attractive against the 7 cm high silver round-toe stilettos, which also makes the Princess Rila slim and slender. The figure is more graceful and graceful, and it's not too beautiful to be a fairy,
But as this man said
The pedestrians in this civilian market are mostly dressed in dark clothes with thick fabrics and poor craftsmanship. Their gorgeous costumes are indeed incompatible with the surrounding scenery. In the end, Samari asked to be on the side of the street. I bought an unobtrusive dark green long dress in a clothing store, because it took some time, when the carriage came to the middle of this block called'Bronze Stone Path', that shop sold'Qiannos' The restaurant owner of'Morning Wine with Meal' took a surprised look at Samari’s beautiful face, then hesitated on Samari’s ordinary dress, then said
"The two are really sorry, the shop has already been booked in advance, so we can't receive guests tonight, you two can come back tomorrow morning"
"It’s okay. I think we’re the ones who booked the restaurant tonight. Let’s start with the most famous Chianos morning wine pairing. I’m really hungry." The fat man looked around the restaurant. Seeing that the whole hall is indeed empty, I turned out a white sign from my hand and handed it over
"Okay, I will arrange it now"
The restaurant owner's face changed, he took a deep breath, respectfully accepted the white sign, and asked a waiter to lead the two to the best seat on the second floor of the hall. In order to show respect, the entire second floor All the seats in the restaurant have been removed, only the fat one is left. Soon, the door of the entire restaurant was closed and the sign that it was closed was hung up
The semi-circular chair is quite comfortable, and from the second floor position, you can catch the beautiful streetscape like a river with the lights below
When the waiter left, Samari’s face hesitated for a while, gritted her teeth and said, "Your Majesty is really a bit reckless this time. I just wrapped up the restaurant just for a meal. This shop looks inconspicuous. , But it’s the Medici’s private banquet restaurant. Even Weixi and I don’t have the right to dare to do this."
"I just came to eat with a sign sent by someone else. The person who booked the restaurant is not me. If someone enters into a banquet, how can I refuse?" The fat man took off his coat and hung it on the already added, calm and relaxed. He opened the bench and sat down, shrugged his shoulders, looked at the pedestrians coming and going outside the window, and said in a condensed voice, "Since this is a private banquet in the Medici, I can basically guess who invited me. I’m here, isn’t this great? Everyone talks with each other in a friendly way. It’s always better than you to die. As long as the other party is willing to talk, I’ll never refuse."
"Of course, there are exceptions, and that's when the other party broke the rules first." The fat man's voice sank suddenly, his eyes became sharp and terrifying, and he fell on a figure walking up to the second floor, and the master came out. Ah, I thought how could the Medici family have to endure it for a day or two, but I didn’t expect to be so impatient
"Your Excellency entered my Rock Fort silently like this, don't you know if it is a violation of the rules?"
Heavy middle-aged voice, it was a middle-aged man in a black dress. The slightly thin cheeks made the middle-aged man look like an impenetrable temperament, and his slender eyes were particularly eye-catching. , The middle-aged man first smiled at Samari, who knew him, and the moment his gaze fell on the fat man’s face, his body trembled abruptly, and what he wanted to say was still stuck. In the throat, the momentum was like a rainbow in the first second, and the neck was strangled in the next second. Even Samarie next to him could see and laugh out loud
"Uncle Prentas, I didn’t expect that it was my uncle who booked the restaurant tonight. I’ll just say, who has such power to shut down the entire restaurant" Samari deliberately pointed out. The young man’s name is exactly Prentas, the head of the Medici family, the master of Fort Rock of Central Europe who is known for his long sleeves and good dancers.
Looking at the look of Prentas, the fat man knew that the other party had recognized him, and smiled indifferently at the corner of his mouth. It turned out that it was him, "Your Excellency Prentas is going to stand there all night? It’s a guest from afar. As a landlord, it’s really not polite for your Excellency to treat guests like this"
"Your Majesty... My Majesty, I really didn't expect that it would be your Majesty's visit, otherwise I would never dare to be so sloppy"
Prentas is almost crying. If you don’t have this, you are a small force when you say that you are dead. You are a magnificent emperor who came here. You are really not afraid of scaring people to death. Others don’t know what’s in front of you. How cruel this young man is, he knows exactly how tragic the Hungarian rebellion was, and it was not smoothed out by this one. Not only did he suppress the Hungarians, he took the Hungarians as his vassals, and he was able to do so. The entire Central Europe is in the arms
"Do you know me?" Fatty's face changed too
"I don't know your Majesty, but I have seen his portrait"
Prentas said nervously. In fact, he didn't know the true face of the Emperor. Isn't it just the "Scythe of the God of War" of the great painter Enkelo?
The Medici family is the biggest patron of the great painter Enkelo, and the paintings of the master Enkelo are also auctioned under the protection of the Medici family, so Prentas, who likes art, naturally has the opportunity. Seeing this painting, the portrait of the imperial emperor above, I dare not say that it is 100% related to this one, but it is also very good. Especially in the painting, the imperial emperor’s sharp eyes are as sharp as a knife, and his body is as steady as a mountain. It's a copy of the one in front of him. He originally thought that he was just an imperial envoy, so he wanted to give the other party a prestige, at least not to be taken lightly. After all, the incident of Rockberg being forced to surrender by an imperial chamber of commerce was really true. Shameful
But he didn't expect to be killed, it was this one who came!
"Does that portrait really look like this?" The fat man raised his eyebrows speechlessly. He is really suspicious now that the great Ancoluo artist has really seen him.
"The portrait of your Majesty is indeed very similar. Your Majesty’s finger is pointing forward. The sight of the imperial army is surging forward. The enemy in front is collapsed. They are all painted by the great painter of Encoluo, even A castle on a rock wall not far away is clearly recognizable" Prentas sighed in relief~IndoMTL.com~The gloss of memories flashed in his eyes, and he said word by word quickly
"A castle on the cliff?"
The fat man narrowed his eyes and took a deep breath
He is basically certain now that the great artist Ancoluo may have seen him on a certain occasion, but the other may be completely hysterical, not to be true, he hasn’t experienced the battlefield for a long time. Not to mention coming to the front line, what enemy is collapsing, what is there on the cliff in the distance, there is a castle,
Joke, this is probably what a great painter deliberately purchased for the sake of good-looking. The so-called army rushing is just a gimmick to set off the atmosphere, but it is just an instant, the fat man seems to feel a similar flash in his mind In the picture, the army is rushing, and the enemy is like a sea. Isn’t there a small castle on the opposite side?
The fat man’s face suddenly became stubborn. Four months have passed since this incident. If it breaks out now, I’m afraid it will be a major earthquake. There is indeed a castle on the cliff, north of Eero, that scene. The sect army is fighting against Rutiazi Fort, the main force of Eero! In that battle, I personally led the 20,000 imperial cavalrymen to attack from behind the exhausted King Eero army, and finally killed Eero Emperor Farouk I. The opposite was not Luti on the cliff. Yazibao?
