Power and Empire Chapter 1639: Southwest Rebellion (2)
Come on together, work hard! We all started to fight for the glory of Quanguo Bar
The night in May is not cold, and the carriage is walking on the empty streets of the capital of Normandy.
"This may be the most luxurious prison car!"
Angelio sits in the luxurious carriage decorated with the coat of arms of the Ducal of Rhosende, enjoying the highest level of glory that a minister of the Principality can enjoy, and smiles bitterly at the corner of his mouth. It was once the most prosperous in Rhosende. Street,
The flow of people is like weaving, and there are busy traffic,
Even at night, this is the place where the nobles in the city must go to the banquet, but now, there is no trace of light on both sides of this place, only the sparkling lonely wheel rut of the carriage touches the stones and the air With a depressing coldness, several guard knights wearing red cloaks of the Guards followed the car slowly, their horses’ hoofs trampled on the empty black streets, which looked like protection in name, but in fact they were more like escorts
"Why does Lord Angelio think so? The Lord Duke sent his own carriage to pick up the adults, which proves that the trust in the adults is increased!" The Duke attendant sitting opposite him said calmly.
"Is trust added? A joke, you know better than me, how simple the Duke trusts me"
Angelio took his gaze back from the cold street next to him with complicated gaze, pretending to be loyal, and slowly said, "I have already seen it anyway. The man who rules this country is not the Duke. It’s the woman from Kyoto! No matter how the Duke treats me, I will have no complaints."
The Duke’s attendant sitting opposite was taken aback by this sentence, and looked at the guard knight outside with flustered eyes, and found that he had not heard the conversation between the two, and he was relieved and said, "Anji Lord Leo, you should pay attention to your words! Although I am inconvenient to explain, this time, Lord Duke really trusts adults very much!'
"Really, that was really an accident!" Angelio's expression fell silent, and the carriage walked across the dark long street in front, facing the majestic Duke's Mansion. The footsteps of the patrol passed by the carriage and the carriage was at the Duke. Stop in front of the gate of the mansion
"Please, Lord Duke is still waiting for your Excellency." The attendant pulled the carriage away, and Angelio got out of the carriage a little unexpectedly. It turned out to be the Duke’s mansion. Shouldn’t it be directly imprisoned and then cruel? Punishment?
" Is it too much of his own heart? "Angelio walked up the steps of the Ducal Mansion in confusion. Along the way, the guards were heavily guarded. The light of the torch was reflected on the marble column of Mia, giving the entire column canal. It's scarlet. Approaching this majestic building, the sound of footsteps echoing in the wide corridor between the magnificent column decorations
The wind tongue crossed the steps, Angelio seemed to smell a scent of killing and blood, and he couldn't help but slow down. When the Guards raided the Ducal Mansion, it was here that the Duke’s Guard and the Guards fought together. This white marble step was the main point of the battle between the two armies. At first, the Imperial Guard was hit hard by the elite guards of the Ducal Palace. Hundreds of casualties were unable to break through the steps. Then, at the same place, a large number of Imperial Guards counterattacked. , To disperse the entire Duke’s mansion guards, and then execute them without leaving,
It was the woman who was as bright as a peach, plum and a heart like a snake and scorpion ordered that all the family members of the guard were imprisoned in the cellar and starved to death, or were thrown into the fire. The former duke’s most trusted families were all cleaned. Every time I go to the Ducal Palace, Angelio always feels very uncomfortable. There are too many people dead here, and many of them are familiar friends. They fought **** battles and did not back down. They proved their loyalty with their lives. But he is still alive with Xunyan and panting,
At the top of the steps, two rows of Imperial Guard soldiers stood with torches. An old man wearing a formal dress with a hunchback was waiting by the door. The light of the shaking torch shone on the old man’s haggard surface, shining a little. Expressionless face. The two rows of Guardsmen next to him were holding a long spear in one hand and a torch in the other. Their expressions were grim. Seeing Angelio's arrival, the old man waved his hand to the attendant who was accompanying Angelio and said expressionlessly.
"The Duke is inside, please go in, Mrs. Angelio"
Angelio's face became heavier and heavier. This old man was named Tang De. He was an old servant brought by the new duke from Kyoto. He was very loyal. Under normal circumstances, Tang De seldom appeared in places like the Chamber.
Time does not allow Angelio to think too much, the door slowly opens in front of Angelio, revealing the bright hall of the Ducal Palace with candles inside,
Angelio tidyed up his collar, stopped his brainstorming, and walked along the gorgeous red carpet into the Chamber. He noticed that the guards of the Ducal Palace today are much less than usual. In the past, the entire hall, Guardsmen with sharp weapons will stand standing up, and then the duke with a gloomy face, but at this moment, the whole hall is empty, cold, gloomy, and quiet, only the sound of his own heavy footsteps is echoing,
"Choke,' the door behind you closes
"Angelio, I thought you were afraid to come! Didn’t your master from the northwest coast send someone to pick you up?
In the chamber, Duke Locke was drunk, and his eyes were full of crazy and vicious blood. Sitting on the Duke’s bench inlaid with a hundred jewels, holding a red wine glass in his hand, he seemed to drink There are a lot of people, he is the only person in the whole hall,
The flames flicker and the shadows are swaying, this feeling makes people shudder. Although nearly three hundred large candles light up the whole hall, the cold comes from people’s heart
" How could it happen, Lord Duke summoned it, but it is my supreme honor!" Angelio looked at this scene, but let go of his heart. When luck was not there, he took the courage of his heart instead.
He looked at the side doors on both sides of the hall, and knew that behind the door, there should be murderous guards. As long as Duke Locke coughs or hints, these guards will rush in and slash him. Into the flesh,
His hand grasped the hilt of the sword on his waist without hesitation,
"Are you not afraid of death? As long as you beg for mercy, I may let you continue to serve as Minister of the Interior and make you rich for a lifetime!" Sitting on his seat, Duke Locke watched him hold the hilt with interest An accident flashed through his hands, eyes,
"Minister of the Interior? Jokes, do you really think I care about this filthy position?" Angelio let go of the hilt of the sword and smiled calmly, looking at Duke Locke on the throne. Slowly say, "You are already a puppet, do you think that someone will rarely be a puppet?"
"You!" Duke Locke's eyes almost bulged out with blood red. The wine glass in his hand broke with a snap, and the red wine mixed with blood flowed down from his tightly held fingers
"If you want to kill me, just do it" Angelio raised his head and stared at Duke Locke's fire-breathing eyes without fear
"Are you really afraid of death?" This time Duke Locke stopped the wine glass in his hand, his surprised eyes became serious, and he seemed to be a little bit thicker even if he was out of breath.
He still remembers that when Angelio brought his brother’s head to see him, his face was flattering and shameless, he almost hated him for not adding his shoes, if someone told him that this guy would be a An unyielding warrior who is dying, his big teeth can laugh off,
How can a dog like have the bones of a warrior!
It’s the same that I am convinced that this guy brought back his brother’s head, but now it seems that I’m wrong, and it’s very wrong,
This guy’s performance is absolutely top-notch, abandoning his self-esteem, but retaining the most terrible things, not only lied to myself, even the woman lied to the past, if it’s not for my own personal belief that this time the Northwest Coast dispatched troops It’s very suspicious to send someone to investigate secretly. I don’t know how long it will be hidden by this guy.
"Do you know how you were discovered?" Duke Locke calmed down his anger and looked at Angelio, who was determined to die.
" It should be Sidney, I know you took him away this morning! "Angelio took a deep breath, his face was a bit ugly and said, "I know your methods, if you want, it's a stone You also have a way to speak! In this case, I am the mastermind! Sidney doesn’t know a lot of things."
" is indeed Sidney! "Duke Locke picked up a wine glass and said slowly with a cold face" But unfortunately, he did not say that he was stronger than I expected, even until I ordered it to be peeled off His face, he also insisted on swallowing his breath an hour ago,
"Sidney!"Angelio clenched his fists, closed his eyes in pain, and flashed Sidney’s young and energetic face in his mind. Such a young man should have become a pillar of the Principality, but now But withered in the dark torture chamber,
"He is fighting for you time to escape. He is a warrior, but because of this, it proves that there must be a problem between you and him." Duke Locke suffocated the wine in his hand, his face flushed into blood, and slowly said "He is a person with arrogance and a sense of justice. If he hadn't particularly admired someone, he would never try to endure the cruel punishments, and would also favor someone who was scolded outside as a traitor. People, so I deliberately summon you alone, just want to know whether he is wrong or I am wrong!
" It’s probably because he knew that death is too insignificant compared to a lonely life with a betrayal of faith!" Angelio suddenly opened his eyes, his eyes flashed across the pillars like electricity, the sound stopped, and suddenly Ning Sheng said
"Faith?" Duke Locke's tone seemed a bit disdain
"For the Principality, prepare to dedicate all faith!" Angelio said, "Master Duke remember the guards of the Ducal Palace who fought to the last person?"
" Of course I remember them! "Duke Locke was taken aback by surprise, and said grimly, "If you don’t talk about the position, they are the best young people in my own country! Unfortunately, they are too ignorant of current affairs. "
" Yes, they are the best in Rusend. Many of them are excellent officers and my friends! They fought so hard because they were realizing the goal of the Principality. Oath, when the Principality needs them, dedicate everything, including their lives and honors. In the end, there were less than a hundred people, but they stayed here for two days." Angelio’s eyes flashed with the luster of memories, said slowly
" This is indeed the place where they fought last, but how did you know?" A hint of surprise flashed across Duke Locke’s face, and the wine glass that was shaking between his fingers stopped, and said, "If I remember correctly, for the initial attack on the Duke’s mansion, Circumstances, the Imperial Guard has already issued an order to scrape the mouth!"
" It’s easy because I was there at the time. "Angelio smiled bitterly." I am the Duke’s attendant. How could I not be there. Because of their desperate delay, I have the opportunity to hide here. The youngest son of the Duke escaped from the secret road. At that time, I told myself that if I had the opportunity, I would come back and stay with them where they last died! That time I was a deserter, but this time, I won’t be anymore. I can fulfill my promise! Let them in, I will fight here, until the blood flowing into the stone and brick belly under my feet turns into the wind whistling through!"
"So, I should have thought that the head is also fake!"
Duke Locke's mouth suddenly grinned unexpectedly, revealing a bit of coldness, and said to himself, "To be honest, I have always hated the blood of the Northwester on my body, but at this moment, I am the first This time I felt that as a Northwester, I was not so humble as I thought! There are also the lofty and humble things that I can't forget, but my own heart!" Duke Locke sighed with complicated eyes, just in Angelio. When my face was confused, I stretched out my hands and patted together heavily,
The sound of clapping palms reverberated in the empty chamber. The front door of the chamber was opened. No murderous guards were seen. Only the old servant of the Duke, Tang De, had some figures in the building
"Angelio, clean up, we're leaving Rhosende!" Duke Locke got up from his seat,
"Leave...!" Angelio stood there completely, what's the situation, didn't he kill himself? how can that be?
" Just received the battle report, the Northwest Allied Forces of the Vijay Falcons defeated 180,000 crusaders in the Sona River. I believe this news will soon make the entire Northwest seething. , Will soon unconditionally open the door to the northwest coast!" Duke Locke took a blue cloak from the old servant. "According to the order, all the Guards will choose to evacuate tomorrow, and we will do the same, go to the southwest! Going to Gaul Kyoto, the number of people I can take away is very limited, and only two places are given to me. Except for the old Tang De, I decide it is you!"
"Me? Why? Bring me, a spy from the Northwest, you are not afraid?" Angelio looked at him with a stunned look, and didn't know what Duke Locke was going crazy.
"I am going to flee, and I will be the persecuted duke in the northwest. On behalf of all the northwest lords, I will go to Kyoto to accuse the Viking Falcon on the northwest coast of the Northwest Coast!" Duke Locke smiled bitterly and looked up. On the ceiling of the luxurious and beautiful chamber, tears flowed down unconsciously, saying, "It's ridiculous, isn't it?, I am a puppet, what others say, I have to do it, but even a puppet, I have my own thoughts. And feel it!
"Thoughts and feelings?" Angelio asked in a dull tone, not knowing the so-called confusion
Duke Locke turned his gaze to him, and flashed like a cold light. "This is my hometown. During the time I returned to Ruosende, I realized that compared to the illusory prosperity of Kyoto, I like the mountain here better. Kazuki, here, I am the Duke, and in Kyoto, I don’t even deserve to be a watchdog! What Kyoto needs is a slave named Duke Locke, and they promised me to be the commander of the Northwest. I turned around and gave it to others. I wanted to take revenge in the past, but unfortunately I didn’t know what to do? I was a puppet in their hands, no soldiers and no rights, but I saw you, a puppet plus a spy, don’t you Do you think this kind of revenge combination is interesting?"
"Are you not afraid that I can't help but kill you on the way?" Angelio looked at Duke Locke unbelievably, gritted his teeth and said coldly, "My friends and relatives died because of you!"
" Whatever you want!" Duke Locke stretched out his hand, patted his shoulder heavily, smiled coldly, "When I stepped out of this country, I was already dead, I live, just for revenge, I want to let Take a look at the Gauls, I am northwest, not just a dog like me who succumbs to their power under their power. Help me bring a word to Vicia Falcon, as long as I can defeat the Gauls, it will be my life. I can also give it up at any time, I know, you must have a way to bring this sentence!" After saying this, Duke Locke has stepped out of the door of the chamber, leaving Angelio standing in a daze.
"What the **** is this!" Five minutes later, Angelio came back to his senses, shaking his head with a wry smile at the corner of his mouth.
He couldn’t tell the truth about Duke Locke. After returning, he sent his servants to mix with the fleeing refugees that night~ IndoMTL.com~ handed over the general situation to the Falcon Army outside the city, responsible for besieging the city. Hu Keqili in the capital did not dare to delay, and soon reported this information to the fat man.
The next day, the sky became clear, and the five thousand guards began to evacuate from the city with more than 10,000 Rhosenders. Because they did not receive the order from the fat man to intercept, the 10,000 Falcon cavalry could only stay mixed. The Guards among the refugees moved to the south. Hukoqili sent 10,000 cavalry to follow. As long as he received an order, he would launch a full-scale attack. But time slowly passed. The Falcon’s order to attack has not been issued, two days later. , These Janissaries crossed the border to the southwest,
Standing on the top of the **** of the border mountain, Angelio, riding on a horse, looked back and stared at his hometown for a long time,
The order from the Vijay Falcon has been sent to him. Regardless of whether Duke Locke is true or not, Angelio can accompany him to Gaul Kyoto. This is a great opportunity to break into Gaul Kyoto, Vijay Hunting Eagle has sent people to Kyoto to assist himself,
there, I will become an eye into the heart of the Gauls,
Of course, before that, I still have a small task, and that is to tell the woman about the provision of inferior rations to the Southwest Army!
The regions of Rusende that received the news of the Duke’s escape soon chose to attach to the northwest coast. Thousands of miles of Rusende’s land was planted with the Falcon flag on the northwest coast in less than five days (unfinished To be continued) [This text is provided by the Qihang Update Team@萌豆豆吧小说] If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for a recommendation and monthly pass.
