Power and Empire Chapter 1786: The turning point in the north (7)
[Dream has set sail] The sailing management team is eagerly recruiting new members! !
The secret prison of Gaul Kyoto was built in a manor on the outskirts of the dark Kyoto. The guards of 500 people are personally responsible for the imperial guards. They are mainly used to imprison the emperor’s enemies or threaten the country. People who can be imprisoned here have almost no record of going out alive. In some unknown rumors, many of the prisoners sent to secret prisons are distinguished persons, in order to ensure that they are not worthy. If they are leaked, they will be forced to wear masks of various beasts by the jailer and be held in a sealed prison where no one will ever come.
Here, loneliness is something more terrifying than imprisonment. No one speaks, no sunlight, no hopeful things, from a living person to a corpse, no one except those who sent the criminals in Know the true identity of those who sent the prison body,
On the first day when Figueros arrived in Gaul Kyoto, the escorted people were mercilessly imprisoned in a secret prison. The mottled walls of hundreds of years were cracked under the erosion of strong moisture. , The opening was covered with moss, exposing the big white stones that were so dark and horribly dark inside.
The walls are damp, and half of the cell is a dirty sink. The pool has not been cleaned for many years. The water inside is sticky and thick, giving off a suffocating odor, and there are still vomiting garbage floating on the surface. It seems that there are incomplete limbs similar to human beings. Body, the other half of the cell is dirty broken stone slabs that cannot be placed on. Under the slates are piled up with moist moss. It is hot in August outside, and the temperature has already exceeded 30 degrees. Here, the highest temperature is Ten degrees, and the lowest temperature is one degree. The changes in the four seasons have long lost their meaning here. The prisoners in custody cannot feel the changes in time at all.
The door to the heavy cell was opened, and Figueros was thrown into the jail heavily, covered in blood, and his hair mixed with blood formed long strips of blood on his face. In just three days, Figueros had already It feels like a year has passed,
If you can die! I really want to die!
Figueros regrets it in his heart, and now I really want to die. The hero of the war from the north was beaten into a spy in the northwest for some reason. He was stabbed severely at the meeting just in the blink of an eye. Being thrown into this hell-like place, being brutally tortured every day, forcing some unknown things, every second seems to him infinite torment now. There was severe pain under his body, and every pore on his body was exuding an aura of pain, but he did not pass out in a coma. It is said that the coma is a self-protection of people from suffering, but now I don’t know why it lost its function. He really longed to never wake up again,
The person in charge of the torture is a master from the Gaul Intelligence Department. Naturally, he will not be given such an opportunity. In order to be able to dig up enough valuable information from the Northwest spy who climbed to the position of the imperial general, Gaul Intelligence Minister Harlan prepared in advance four experts specializing in torture to wait on him in turn.
The door of the prison opened with an unexpected sound, and a slender figure in a dark green robe appeared at the door of the prison.
"Are you the Northwest spy?"
was speaking with a somewhat arrogant woman's voice, and a white hand was exposed from the cuffs of the robe to cover her nose, and the oncoming smell of mold from the prison door made the woman's beautiful and slender eyebrows slightly frowned. , Her gaze stopped for a moment on Figueros,
Figueros struggled to sit up and looked at the speaker. His dark robe and hood could not see the person's face at all, but the tone of the person and the ability to come here are enough to show that the woman's body is different. , And he could feel the other person's gaze looking at him, completely ignoring the blood on his body and the wounds he had rolled up. He knew that his current appearance must be very afraid of heat. If it was an ordinary woman, he would have screamed and passed out It was also possible in the past,
But the woman in front of her, her eyes are steady without a trace of fluctuation
"I am not a spy in the Northwest, don't forget, it was the Falcon Empire in the Northwest who killed millions of my Norman clan! Do you think the Falcon Empire will find a Norman spy?" Figueros Said coldly,
"Are you a Norman?"
The woman was taken aback when she heard it, and then snorted angrily, "These fools of the Intelligence Department, as expected, they deliberately found someone to fool me!"
Figueros' complexion suddenly turned ugly, five fingers caught five blood stains on the prison floor. He hasn’t figured out what’s going on until now, but there is one thing he can feel, the woman in front of him. It should be the reason why I was arrested! How is he not angry?
"Do you want to die or live! Do you want to die silently, or use the power of the empire to avenge your tribe!" The woman clearly saw his anger, and she still said in a low voice. "Don't use that Looking at me, it’s the Imperial Ministry of Military Affairs that handles this matter. It has nothing to do with me. If it’s not because you’re a Norman and you performed well in the Battle of the North, you would die here and become moldy and rotten. , I won’t ask more, because I know that when it comes to hatred of the Falcon Empire, there is no one deeper than a Norman!"
"Can you give me revenge?"
Figueros' body trembled a bit when he heard it. Although he was in prison, he instinctively had a sense of rejection of this woman. That feeling reminded him of the kind of longing he had seen on Salander Island. A poisonous snake with blue scales, his beloved warhorse was bitten by this snake, bleeding from his nose and eyes, and died miserably in less than an hour. Such a person is the most terrifying! Because in the hearts of such people, the value of human life is no different from a piece of grass on the side of the road!
"I can make you a general of the empire again! "Woman smiles noncommittal" But you must also show enough courage to avenge those who put you in prison? Now there is a chance "woman" Reached out from the robe, and threw a scroll on the ground "Take this to the palace. Before dawn, the imperial meeting will not end. Please submit this directly to the emperor. This is your only chance to survive!"
"You mean to go directly to the palace and submit it to the emperor! This..."
The boss with eyes open, Figueros’ eyes were full of shock, a little frightened, he hesitated for a moment, and finally decided to fight. Although this woman is terrifying, she is better than being imprisoned here and tortured to death. it is good!
"I can't go to the palace, I can't even get out here!" Figueros asked eagerly
The woman in the "Locks" robe yelled to the door, and a young officer in the costume of the Emperor's Guards walked in
" Put him on his clothes and send him to the lobby of the palace!" The woman in the robe stretched out her hand and pointed at Figueros. Before long, Figueros, who was dressed in the Guards’ costume, was already on the carriage heading to Kyoto. , The blood on his face was wiped clean, revealing a young and energetic face, and the jersey uniform on his body was a bit big, and he wore it on his body to conceal the wounds on his body. The jersey officer who sent him off Sitting opposite him, looking at him curiously, with an inexplicable mood,
The Guards officer wanted to see what was special about the first player in the Battle of the North, who had risen like a hurricane in the past two months, but he was disappointed. Figueros in front of him was just an ordinary No ordinary young man, he didn't have the heroic aura of the rumored hero, and he did not have the domineering attitude of capturing 30,000 Slavic heads in one fell swoop on the battle report. The torch of the road shone on the young man's face, and he didn't see much expression. The carriage entered Within the scope of the palace, the Guards at the gate stopped the carriage, and Locks, the Guards showed his face, and passed easily.
The carriage finally stopped in front of the steps in the hall. Figueros got the courage to get down from the carriage, picked up some documents and stepped up the steps. Lockes led the way, and the guards on guard completely ignored his existence.
" That woman... It's Sister Arjun, Genon Julia! "Just when the guard officer Locks stopped at the last step, and the door was in front of him, Figueros asked suddenly
"How do you know?" The Guards officer Locks responded unexpectedly
" It’s nothing, just to confirm! Except for Sister Algernon Julia, I can’t think of anyone who can control the entire Imperial Guard. Gross nodded, took a deep breath, was involved in the chest injury, grinned slightly at the corner of his mouth, raised the file in his hand and said
"The content of that document is not ordinary."
Guards officer Locks said that he really didn’t know this time, and shrugged his shoulders. "To be honest, I don’t know, but it must be very important, because Sister Xiaoying smashed angrily after receiving it tonight. I got my favorite wine glass and scolded more than a dozen rice buckets in my mouth! Since Sister Xiaoying is so adventurous to send you here, it must be a very urgent matter!"
"Okay, I know!" Figueros smiled grimly, and stepped into the huge gate of the conference hall. Under the light of a hundred candles in the hall, he saw more than a dozen imperial ministers crowding around. Beside a young man, the young man was thin and wore an unusually golden uniform. On the cuffs of the golden tassels were two huge blue gems, and all the buttons flashed by candlelight. A dark red light, that is the luster of gems,
The young man is looking down at the map on the table, and a middle-aged man in the costume of an imperial general points to the map and says something,
"Who are you, I don't remember calling the imperial guards to come in!" The young man seemed to sense something, suddenly raised his head and looked sharply at Figueros who walked in. A dozen other ministers all brought him in. Turning his head in astonishment, no one knew the imperial guard who came in
"I'm sorry, your majesty, my name is Figueros, I am from the northern battlefield" Figueros bit his head, knelt on one knee, raised the document in his hand, and said loudly, "Your subordinate is here to present an important document! And their subordinates must complain to your Majesty of the Ministry of Military Affairs. They slander their subordinates as spies from the Northwest! The subordinates are Normans, and the entire Obalo knows that the Normans were exterminated by the Northwest Falcon Empire, and their subordinates wished they were dying of their clan by the Northwest Falcon Empire. How could the flesh and blood of an eagle be a spy from the Northwest!"
"Norman? Figueros!"
The young emperor looked at Figueros, who was kneeling there, his face looked unnatural. He glared at the Intelligence Minister Harron with a piercing look. He was obviously asking, what the **** was going on! Intelligence Minister Harlan was also confused by this unexpected incident. Isn't Figueros in tight detention? How come to the hall of the Imperial Conference,
Harlan's face was pale and cold. He knew that there was no room for retreat. His voice tremblingly insisted, "Your Majesty, the Normans were exterminated by the Northwest Falcon Empire, but it does not mean that the Normans would not It's a spy from the Northwest!
" And this person is from the northwest after all, and he is quite dissatisfied with His Majesty the emperor. If such a person enters the army, he will eventually develop into a cancer! Even if it is not eradicated, he must be closely supervised! This is the responsibility of the subordinate. Even if your majesty disagrees, your subordinates will do it"
"This adult is just talking nonsense. When I was fighting the Slavs **** battle for the empire in the north, I didn’t know what this adult was doing? Righteous and righteous, righteous and upright. What hides behind the upright is often the ugly, and the ugliest Disgusting scene. The more you speak up, the more I doubt your dirty intentions..." Figueros' body trembled slightly, and he was arrested just for such an unnecessary charge.
"Well, I will investigate this thoroughly! Long Daqing, you go and show me the files!"
The young emperor of Gaul waved his hand impatiently, and said to a white-haired veteran next to him that his eyes were not on the right or wrong of this matter. What he saw was because of a thorough investigation of the Northwest agent. This month, the confidence of the people of the empire has been greatly strengthened, the empire’s finances are full, the empire’s army is gradually recovering, and the victory of the Northern War is spreading. This is what an empire needs to pay attention to. As for right and wrong, is there anyone? If an emperor has been wronged, should an emperor care about this?
A minister with white hair walked over and unceremoniously took the documents from Figueros, gave Figueros a condescending look, and snorted very dissatisfied, "I really don’t know how to be grateful. As an imperial soldier, how can you do this! Isn’t it just being imprisoned and asking, he dare to come to the Emperor’s Imperial Conference!"
"How do you call this adult?" Figueros raised his head, his eyes angrily,
"Military Ministry Deputy Chief Ronda!" The white-haired minister completely ignored his anger. In his eyes, there was such an ant-like existence there, and his nose curled his lips in disdain. "Why, do you still want Even if I failed to slander, I dared to question Shangguan in this tone. It seems that the punishment for imprisonment is still too light. If it was before, I would just drag it out and beheaded!"
The young emperor took the document from Ronda, frowned slightly, and waved to Figueros, "What are you still doing there, go on! I don't like such a rude person!" Seeing Figueros walking out In the hall, the young emperor only opened the file in his hand. After only one glance, the young emperor's face turned pale. The hand holding the file suddenly opened, his eyes were bloodshot, and he said angrily, "Asshole, how is this possible? ! How could the battle of Nagould fail!"
"pop" The document slipped from his fingers to the ground. The young emperor felt nausea from his internal organs. He hurriedly lowered his head to vomit, but he couldn't vomit anything. Suddenly, the abdomen turned over, the colic was unbearable, and there were bursts of tingling in the head, as if there was a sharp needle sticking to the forehead. The young emperor was in a morbid tremor, and finally couldn't hold on, his forehead slammed deeply on the table where the map was placed,
"Slap"
Seeing the blood on the emperor’s forehead, the ministers were completely panicked, hurriedly shouting the guards
"The battle of Naguld was lost?"
Intelligence Minister Harlan also pretended to have a shocked look. He had guessed from just now that it is possible for a prisoner to enter the heavily guarded imperial conference hall so easily, only that woman could secretly be that woman. I feel admired for the arrangement, and let a death row prisoner come to send it, even if your Majesty kills the messenger in a rage, there is no big deal!
"Where is that person just now? Catch him, he must be sent by the enemy!"
The emperor Gaul has begun to show a madness, with blood on his forehead, struggling to support his body, eyes full of madness, throat twitching violently, squeaking and squeaking ambiguity Shouted loudly, his gloomy gaze was like a wolf about to eat people
The thorn jī is too big for him. The defeat of Naguld undoubtedly indicates that the strategy of the empire must be readjusted, especially the death of tens of thousands of troops, which is a heavy blow to this hyper-spirited patient." Of the tens of thousands of troops that were destroyed, the Imperial Guard alone had more than 30,000 men. Other troops were also experienced troops. The true elite of the empire! After this battle, the loss of the northern army of the empire is incalculable.
Your Majesty, Your Majesty fainted! "Under the eyes of everyone, the young emperor Gaul was paralyzed on the ground like a pile of mud. He could only breathe. He could not even open his eyes. The gray-haired Ronda quickly ran to the door. "Quick, quick Catch those guys! "Countless guards’ swords were placed on Figueros’ neck~IndoMTL.com~ Figueros stopped innocently. At this moment, a whole group of Janitor soldiers ran towards the hall from the outside.
Walking in the forefront is a beautiful woman, wearing a slender and close-fitting hunting suit, and still riding boots that have not been replaced. Her hair and body are all wet by the morning mist at night, just a glimpse. Figueros can be sure that this woman is the one she just met in prison,
"Enclose all of them, absolutely can't let one go!" Algernon Julia didn't look at him at all, but raised the horse whip in her hand, shouted in a crisp voice, and the guards who followed immediately surrounded him. To the Imperial Conference Hall,
"Algernon Julia, what do you want to do! You have been banned by the emperor's order, do you want to seek rebellion?" The gray-haired military secretary Ronda asked loudly with an ugly face
"You are the ones who are conspiring to rebel! You threaten your majesty, so that your majesty faints in the imperial meeting. From now on, until the investigation is clear, the adults cannot leave the hall, otherwise... "Algernon Julia's face was cold, and her voice stopped. She pulled out the saber at her waist and slashed it on the pine wood next to him. The pine wood with the big mouth was cut off with a sword, that kind of feeling. It’s as neat as cutting a human head,
"You!" The military secretary Ronda trembled all over, but could not speak!
