Power and Empire Chapter 394: Enemies
"Crunch" a heavy door opened in front of the fat man, revealing a deep corridor
Golden sunlight shines down from the skylight at the top of the corridor, and the eye-catching beams of light descend vertically from the sky.
The entire corridor will be illuminated transparently and brightly,
The nobleman who was in charge of guiding quickly explained, "My lord, this is the Lorikyat corridor, which is famous in the north. Those who are qualified to walk in the middle are the darlings of the gods.
The last time we set foot on this road was our great Wichia creator,
The fat man nodded, lifted his feet and walked up.
The oncoming sunlight made the fat man look like he was bathed in a sacred beam of light,
A faint golden halo flashed over the fat man’s head
This unique change made the fat man feel a little surprised,
What a magical structure! ,
Similar to the design of a theological hall in the Middle Ages, using the dreamy effect of sunlight and beautiful lattice flowers between windows to create a sacred effect inside the building,
Everyone has seen this strange change,
"The crown! The crown of thorns of the king!" Hundreds of nobles standing on both sides were stunned by the halo on the fat man's head, and their eyes were swollen. /
In the legend, the crown of thorns cast by blood may bring destruction or glory!
In this sacred temple, it is rare to see a miracle in such a thousand years
"Long live! Long live the Grand Duke!" The six thousand Samor cavalry guards outside the door, while raising their swords in their hands, shouted loudly.
"Hehe, it's just some optical phantoms!" The fat man looked at the hundreds of nobles lying on the ground, smiled at the corners of his mouth, and didn't touch it.
Heavy steps came from the steps outside the hall,
"The regent of the kingdom, the Grand Duke of Falcon is here!" The high voice of the roll-call official made the waiting nobles in the hall, and instantly raised his heart to his throat,
Just now about the crown of thorns, the waiter outside has already passed in. "Your Excellency the Grand Duke of Regent" all the nobles hurriedly fell on the ground,
In front of the power and glory of the Kingdom Regency, no one dared to look up,
The heavy atmosphere is like a mountain, making everyone breathless.
"I'm sorry! I have kept you waiting!" The heavy footsteps suddenly stopped, and a brilliant voice shattered the silence in the hall.
The fat man looked at the nobles lying around on the ground, let the nobles take their seats first,
Then, as arranged in advance, I expressed a few words of praise to Kudan City in an easygoing manner.
And the appreciation of the noble morals of the nobles, in order to appease these nobles who have not fully believed in Samor,
Whether you like it or not, you must show sufficient grace and reason,
This is politics! That’s what the fat guy said to himself secretly,
Kudan is not in the south under his complete control,
Commercial culture has not yet become the mainstream here, these nobles are still what most people want,
For the leader of the nobleman who lay at the front of the queue, she used to be brave and fearless and scolded herself for cruel Mrs. Jelinkana,
The fat man also showed enough understanding, even a few words of appreciation especially
This made Mrs. Jelinkana tremble with excitement and spilled wine on her long skirt in embarrassment
She can scold the fat man without fear of power, but as a nobleman, she has a natural pursuit of glory
What an honor it is to get the personal praise of the Lord Regent of the Kingdom!
"I, Samer, will not interfere with your living habits. Kudan is still the same Kudan before." The fat man raised up the pure gold wine glass inlaid with countless precious gems from the gorgeous long table in front of the main seat.
"Kudan is the brightest gem in the north of Vijaya! And I will make it the center of the entire Northern Big Six, and I want it to be the second day wading!
The fat man looked at the excited faces of the nobles, his sonorous words paused for a while, his sharp eyes swept across everyone’s faces,
Then drank the rum in his hand full of wine glasses, and said loudly to the surroundings
"It is said that every monarch who enters Kudan will bring a grace to Kudan, for the glory of entering Kudan city and the reward of loyalty to you,
I decided that all commercial trade in Kudan City will not be levied any taxes during this year!
All the noble properties and land expropriated,
Samoor will compensate you at the original price!
As for the families who fled with the pseudo-king Stian...
I take this glass of wine as an oath, as long as I am willing to come back, I will never hold them accountable,
They can also enjoy the favor I have just now"
"His Royal Highness!" Fatty's words caused all the Kudan nobles below to tremble,
A few particularly excited nobles almost didn’t even faint,
Nobility is a class,
There is always more or less connection between nobles, no family can exist independently,
Fatty’s promise completely dispelled everyone’s worries,
The fat man looked at the excited nobles and continued to act affectionately
"Many of my troops are Kudans, from their tears-filled faces,
What I see is their love and loyalty to their homeland,
So, I also believe,
Those who were threatened by the Puppet King Stephen and left their hometown,
All are innocent!
Long live His Royal Highness the Grand Duke! "The nobles raised their glass in excitement, loud shouts echoed in the hall,
Arrange the affairs of Kudan, and the fat man who hurriedly returned to Katurat Manor, can't wait to find Lidarcus in the lobby,
"It's been 3 days! How's the investigation going!" The fat man anxiously asked Lidarcus who entered the lobby with the report, and Lidarcus cautiously handed the well-organized report to the fat man,
The fat man’s hand slowly flipped the report, and his slightly squinted eyes flashed with chilling light at this moment
"En!" Suddenly, the fat man snorted, his slightly narrowed eyes opened completely
The hand flipping the report stopped in the air,
"Lidarcus! The report says that Ellen Stein is not the granddaughter of the old duke? Is this investigation clear?" The fat man's sharp eyes looked like a knife, making Lidarcus feel cold.
What are you afraid of? I know I can’t hide here!
Lidarkus, who was standing next to him, felt tight. The fat man asked the question himself, but Lidarkus did not dare not answer, but he did not dare to answer randomly.
He looked down and said, "I'm sorry, my lord, because there is no detailed basis for the time being, we can't determine it in a short time,
But according to the exact information from Cristo,
The news that Miss Allenstein is not the granddaughter of the old Duke Duai came from within the Duai family!
"Inside!" The fat man stood up with a cold face, turned his hands on his back, and was silent for a while before asking, "You mean this thing is likely to be true?
Such an important matter was vented at this critical moment. Do you think the same group of people did it? "
"My lord!" Lidarcus lowered his head and said, "According to the report on page 6, it is said that someone stole the old Duke's personal diary when sorting out the relics of the old Duke Duai!"
"What! What a **** group of guys!" Fatty's anger can no longer be suppressed at this moment,
According to the burial etiquette of nobles,
The personal diary of a nobleman during his death must be accompanied by the owner’s coffin when he is buried.
In order to indicate that the nobles can still remember the memories of previous lives when they are dead,
The old duke’s personal diary was stolen, and the time of the burial had to be postponed again and again,
It's hot in Crest in June,
The fat man can believe that the old Duke Duai, whom he respected, was buried in a hurry under what embarrassing circumstances,
For a nobleman with grand prestige, this is a very dishonorable thing,
No wonder the death information has been secretly delayed for nearly half a month, plus the distance from Crest to the north of Kudan, it is normal to be one month late,
"Who is in charge of Crest's garrison! I want to remove him! Let him go home and reclaim the land"
The fat man waved his hands angrily, and almost turned the roof over with a roar, his face shone with chilling ferocity
"My lord, the Crest area is the defense zone of the Twelfth Banner, but the Twelfth Banner was transferred to the northern front by the adults in early June!
Lidarcus seemed to know that Fatty would ask this question for a long time, and responded with a weird face, "Now in the Crest area, we only have one local seventh squadron, and they only have more than a thousand militias..."
"Damn it!" The fat man's angry face was filled with helplessness, and he slammed a fist on the table.
Although Lidarcus didn’t go on, the fat man could hear the meaning inside,
Now Crest! We have no army!
Fatty himself is the cause of this situation!
More than a thousand militiamen went to maintain the order of Cristo,
It’s simply a fantasy,
The fat man glared at Lidarcus, wishing to choke this talkative guy to death
Clesdo is out of control! Don't you just want to imply this to me!
The fat man waved his hand to Lidarcus and said, "You immediately return to Crest, no matter what means, quickly find out Miss Alanstein’s current situation, and find Hu Keqili, I have important He needs to do it!"
"Yes, my lord!" Lidarcus came out of the hall like an amnesty,
"Boom!" A dull thunderbolt rolled across the sky. The sky that was still scorching just now was covered with clouds, and large raindrops caught in the wind and hit the face
"Crackling" a silver lightning flashed across the sky! Illuminate the endless beautiful plain below
"My lord, it's going to rain!" Assistant Luo Linze stepped off the carriage in front of him, and put the rain-proof oily leather cloak on Lidarcus
"Yes! It's raining!" Lidarcus walked into the carriage with the help of his assistant, looking at the white rain falling from the sky, and said inwardly.
I just don’t know that rain is flowing down the earth this time! Still blood! "
Central Vikia, Hubor Laban Mountains
The cool June wind blows over the winding hills in front of you, and the lush green pine forest rustles with the wind, big
Linxia, there is a vibrant scene everywhere,
Mountain flowers of various colors bloom all over the hills, and the winding Luxley Mountains stretch out to the distant sky.
Since ancient times, here has been a secret mountain road connecting Hubor Laban with the northern part of the kingdom.
After Hubola became a smuggling distribution center,
This mountain road has become the favorite path of smuggling caravans.
A dozen carriages full of smuggled goods mixed with several gorgeous carriages were forced to park on the rugged mountain roads in the mountains.
The front wheel of a wagon was sunk into a pit filled with water on the side of the road because of the heavy rain a few days ago.
Several people dressed as mercenaries are pushing the carriages hard
"Come on! We must rush to Vilas Town in front of us at noon!" Caravan Captain Aite urged loudly, and from several other carriages, he called out a few people to help push the carriage.
Suddenly, a sound of horseshoes sounded from the mountain road in front, and a group of cavalry in light armor appeared at the corner of the mountain col in front, and the leaping horseshoes rolled up the dust in the mountains
"Miss! What to do! It's the Samor Cavalry!" The butler Aite whispered beside a carriage, and the closed curtain of the carriage showed a thin slit, showing a fair and arrogant face,
Leng and arrogant as snow, the black looks like a shining waterfall hanging on the round shoulders,
The pale and plain long dress can hardly conceal her beautiful face. She turned out to be the most beautiful woman in the Tyre family, Snow Mountain Fire Rose Tyre Nuris
"It's your first time to take this road!" This team of cavalry stopped in front of the carriage caravan. It seems that there is no way to see how this caravan is different!
There are many invisible pits here, and it is easy to get the loaded carriage into it. Do you need help? "The captain of the cavalry squad led enthusiastically inquired
In order to support the war in Kudan in the north, to encourage merchants to support the front lines to the maximum,
The Samor army has ordered the complete liberalization of all roads leading to the north and west like a Hublar,
Whether they are smugglers or regular merchants, the Samor army treats them equally now
"Calm! Nothing nervous, just some ordinary cavalry patrolling the mountains!"
Till Nuris heard the question from the cavalry on the opposite side, and a haze flashed across Leng's arrogant face,
Quickly regained his original calmness,
This time my trip is extremely secretive,
It is impossible for Summer to know, and it is impossible to intercept himself here specially,
"Knock them away!" Tilnuris whispered to the outside subordinates, "If necessary, kill them. Our whereabouts must not be violent!"
"Yes, miss!" The butler Aite nodded slightly~IndoMTL.com~ A secret gesture was made to the nervous men in front of him. Behind Aite, more than a dozen guards dressed as mercenaries They looked at each other and put their hands on the hilt of the waist at the same time
"I think we can pull the carriage out, so I won't bother you!" Aite saluted the cavalry with a smile on his face
"Okay, I hope you can hurry up! This weather may be raining again." The captain of the cavalry also felt that the situation was a bit embarrassing. It seemed that his kindness was completely wasted. He looked up at the sky and shrugged helplessly. Shrugged and said to Aite, who was smiling, "Coudan just issued a decree, all business and commerce will be exempted from taxes within one year. If I were you, I would go to Kudan, that's where the money is!" /
"What? Kudan has been occupied?" The words of the captain of the cavalry made Aite's face change. They went secretly for a month. They thought they could reach Kudan under Stian’s control, but heard this here. News that made them desperate
"Occupy? No, we Samor call it recapture!" The captain of the cavalry seemed disgusted with the word occupation. He waved his whip in the air and said, "Our great Grand Duke made it himself, thanks to Stephen's clowns. Also worthy of being an opponent!"
"It's a fat man again!" A low, delicate curse with mixed feelings sounded in the carriage behind.
