Law of the Devil Chapter 576: [I ca n’t live this day]
Chapter 576 [This day cannot be passed]
The sky's snowflakes stained the outline of the Imperial City with a layer of quiet white.
This is the first snow this year. The defender of the city defense, Wang Cheng, has already put a thick leather jacket on the inside of the armor. The defender of the city and the spear in his hand are also under this weather. There was a faint frost. The officer patrolled back and forth over the city gate, rubbing his hands from time to time, and then whispered in this **** cold weather.
This year's snow seems to come much earlier than in previous years. Even more strangely, the emperor's capital in the middle of the mainland had fallen down from the goose feathers, but on the north side of the mainland, there was no Kaspersky defense line yet.
The burst of northwest winds made the soldiers unable to hold back their heads, and looked at the hourglass on the gate impatiently, calculating the time of their shifts.
There are not many people on the road. In this weather, it is said that some sections of the official road outside the city have been blocked by heavy snow. Last night, a team of unfortunate guards were transferred out to shove snow. I heard that many caravans were blocked in the Acropolis a dozen miles away. It seems that before the snow on the road is cleared, don't want to enter the city.
At this time, a team of cavalry came from afar off the road, and the leading knight was in leather armor. In such cold weather, he was not wearing a leather jacket, but just put a bright red cloak on the outside, and walked along the horse Full of mighty power.
Almost a hundred riders followed, and everyone on the horse was straight, with a long bow on their backs, and cavalry with restraint and pride on their faces. After the horses, they followed each other in the snow. Running hound.
These cavalrymen were surrounded by horses, but they were surrounded by a person in the middle, a group of tall horses with pure white fur all around. At first glance, it was a good horse from the northwestern part of the mainland, and a small figure immediately, a golden leather jacket, a holster, and a delicate short bow hung behind him, surrounded by everyone, this person With a sense of luxury, his mouth has a chill that is a little bit colder than the weather.
This cavalry hasn't approached the gate yet. The guards at the gate saw the banner and immediately bent down and knelt down.
In the guard's "Long Live Your Majesty", the horseman on the horse was like a whirlwind, and he rushed in without a doubt. The horseshoes trampled, the wet mud and snow on the ground splashed into the kneeling guard. No one dared to slap on the soldier's face or neck.
After this cavalry entered the city. The garrison stood under the gate, and some officers looked back at the city and sighed in a low voice: "I'm afraid my little Majesty, I'm not in a good mood today."
"I'm afraid to hunt out of the city in such heavy snow. There is nothing to gain." Another officer speculated, frowning: "Your Majesty hunted out of the city every day these days, this seems to be more ..."
"Shut up!" The slightly higher-ranking officer changed his color immediately and said coldly, "The royal thing. Can you and I talk about it!"
Prince Charles ... Oh, no, it should be Her Majesty Emperor Charles, surrounded by many knights, galloping on the long streets of the Imperial Capital, rushing straight on, and the pedestrians heard the sound of horseshoes flying at a distance, and hurry up It immediately dispersed.
After it snows. The road was getting more and more muddy. At a street intersection, I heard a long hissing of the war horse, but it seemed to be trampled on the thick snow and ice, and suddenly slipped under my foot ...
A snap, Charlie fell off immediately, but fortunately he grabbed the reins and held it firmly, and hung on the horse. But finally did not land.
Yu Linjun has been standing beside him. He held the reins and calmed the shocked horse. Hurry to help His Majesty the Little Emperor.
After the young Emperor Charlie landed, his tender face was full of anger, and he suddenly pushed away the knight around him, grabbed the riding whip and drew heavily towards his mount!
"Animals !!! Animals !!! You dare to bully me too! You have also bullied me!"
He is still young and lacks strength, but this reckless pumping still makes the horses sigh. The knight next to him saw his horse beating, but he dared to stop, but everyone dismounted and stood beside him. .
Charlie finished with a whip, but he gasped thickly and looked at the faces around him. There was a haze on his young face, but he took a deep breath and tried to squeeze out Smile, and slowly said, "This horse surprised me, so you don't have to be so afraid. Well, in such cold weather, don't stand here and drink the wind, go back to the palace early, everyone who hunts with me today, people People have rewards. "
Speaking, he glanced at his mount with hate. The horse's white fur was whipped with a lot of bloodstains, but he couldn't ride. The knight next to him hurriedly took his horse. Little emperor.
"Go back and kill this horse. There is no prey today. Let everyone divide the horse's flesh." Charlie said lightly.
But there is also a reckless knight on the side, reminding himself smartly and whispering: "Your Majesty, this horse is your favorite ... It is a gift from Lord Duke Tulip ..."
Charlie has turned over and listened, his face suddenly stagnates, and he takes a look at the talker with a sigh of anger, but his face immediately gives a smile: "Oh, yes, it was a gift from the teacher. However, the horse trainer's master is negligent, and he will be punished when he returns. "
He shook the reins, but suddenly asked: "It's almost New Year. I heard that the teacher has brought the master to the capital. It should be almost the day. The teacher has been sick for many days, and I haven't visited it. Today or so It's okay, let's go to the Dukes of Tulip. "
He is the emperor's respect. Although he has not been in charge of the state affairs, how can the Royal Knights around him dare to disobey his intentions, hurriedly open the road ahead, turned in the direction, and went towards the Duke of Tulips House.
There is no attendant in the large courtyard, Du Wei is sitting in a wheelchair, under the eaves, looking at the snow in the sky, as if thinking something.
Heavy snow started the day before yesterday. At this moment, the eaves were covered with crystal clear icicles, and Dewey looked as if the icicles were in a daze.
A few days ago, a messenger came from Nanyang, and the regent greeted the palace with a national ceremony. After this ceremony, it almost equaled the acquiescence of Nanyang ’s "United Kingdom" status. The land is a country.
Although this matter has caused a lot of criticism, after all, the Empire has been for decades. The hawks are rampant. This is regarded as a "faceless" approach that makes many people dissatisfied, but the Finance Minister still smiles every day, after all, the money in the pocket is real!
As the financial steward of the empire, only this old man understands that now the north of the empire is fighting, and the pressure of financial tension has reached.
"It's snowing well. Ruixue is very good. I hope it will be a good one in the coming year." Du Wei sighed.
Chris is still in Brokeback Mountain Tulip. With tear crystals, the fountain of life came out, so that the first batch of hatchling griffins has grown to a state of about two years old, and the first batch of griffin knights has begun. Flight and combat training.
And Baihe worry ... this guy, after coming to the imperial capital. But I only lived here for a few days, and after running to see Lan Haiyue, on one night, I bid farewell. This time, he didn't even leave a word.
The Witch King flashed directly.
On the issue of the Nanyang messenger a few days ago, there was a quarrel in the palace. Although the old prime minister Rob Scheer came forward to support the Minister of Finance at a critical moment, everyone would give him a few points in front of the veteran face. Behind the scenes, however, there are still many people who oppose the regent Wang Jinyan.
And at that time, the most subtle thing was: the old prime minister supported the finance minister. But his niece granddaughter. Camisiro, the current Minister of Military Affairs, unexpectedly remained silent.
The military is hawks, and the old prime minister is doves. Camisilo was caught in the middle, but he could only get rich. After all, he was in charge of the commander-in-chief, with inadequate qualifications, and was far from calming down those veteran generals. This time. His silence is obviously a good way to protect himself. Want to come is the old prime minister tacitly.
Things that offend people. The old man would do it himself. Camisiro is the hope for the future of their family, it is better not to stir in this dirty water.
And then something happened. After seeing the regent and the emperor at the palace, the ambassador of Nanyang stayed in the imperial capital for three days. On the last night, he quietly sent someone to the Duke of Tulips's House and brought a Letter.
This letter was written by the current king of Nanyang United Kingdom, Rufik. After returning home, this little slave and groom of Dewey gradually settled down after three years. Want to come, Nanyang's intriguing contention should not be as powerful as the Empire. Lu Feike, who had been dazzled by Dewey for a long time, was not able to deal with the foolish tribal chiefs once he had grown up.
Luffick's tone is very humble in this letter. Although he is already the King's respect, he still respectfully calls Du Wei "the master" in the letter.
But Du Wei burned immediately after reading the letter, and then asked the messenger a few words, determined that nobody had read the letter, and confirmed that the messenger had nothing to do with Du Wei and Lufick. As far as I know, it was only ordered to bring such a letter, and at that time he turned his face on the spot, letting the messenger out of the duke's house.
After the little Zack was a little confused, Du Wei sneered, "Does n’t the palace know that we are inextricably related to Nanyang? In this case, I can't hide too late, why? Can you bump up? This messenger came to me tonight, I ’m afraid I do n’t know how many eyes are staring on the streets outside! Do n’t say anything else, if someone attacks, say I ’m colluding with an envoy, although I ca n’t take it , But it is always a bit of trouble. In the future, we will not touch anything in Nanyang. "
"But ... this annual income ... It's a pity! At that time we talked to Nanyang in private and let them surrender to the book and worship each year. This money could have fallen into our pockets. Why bother them? Send someone to the Imperial City? If you are in the Imperial City, the South Ocean Expedition is not an expedition. Your Highness has not listened to you? "
"Stupid." Du Wei immediately rebuked politely: "Are we short of money right now? Nanyang is in this place for a while, you can earn some extra money, you can expect to hold it in your life forever? I will , Is the regent king willing? "
After a pause, he said again, "Luffic came out of our house. Only a limited number of three or four people know this secret, but it must never be known to the regent. This is a taboo. If you even I do n’t understand this principle, so I do n’t have to confuse with me. "
Little Zach smiled: "I understand."
Du Wei then issued another order: This winter, all religious dedication taxes in the Northwest will be withheld. And it is clearly rejected! The so-called explicit refusal is to write in public and not pay taxes!
Little Zach is a little worried: "I'm afraid of the temple ..."
"Well, I am the Archbishop of the Northwest Diocese. If there is a problem, the church cannot come to the palace to sue me. I can only blame me on the internal system of the temple. I want to see if he dares Come and ask me. If he dares to come, taxes will be deducted next spring! "
For the church to dare to stare at itself and peep at its Brokeback Mountain House, Du Wei will always give the other party a little color.
Sure enough, the matter passed for many days, but the church did not even say a word, and tolerated the matter.
Everyone knows that the church is not short of this money, but Du Wei has blatantly lost face of the church, but everyone sees it clearly.
Looking at the ice edge of the eaves, Du Wei suddenly sighed softly.
He moved his fingers on the armrest of the wheelchair these days, and his body finally got a little better. The degree of physical recovery, he can barely control his upper body to do some simple daily activities, such as eating with a knife and fork and chopsticks, or a glass of wine, holding a book or something. It's just that some gravity matters are still incompetent.
And below the waist, there is still no movement.
Damn ... isn't this **** ... Du Wei thought in depression.
My wife is coming from the northwest. It ’s almost a year. The so-called Xiaobei wins a newly-married couple, but how does your life now look like? ?
Master Duke's mood agitated again.
