MTL - Law of the Devil-Chapter 576 [This day can't be passed]
Chapter 576—There is no way to go this day.
The snow of the sky has stained the outline of the Imperial City with a quiet white.
This is the first snow of this year. The Wang Cheng Guards of the City Defense Guards have put a thick leather jacket in the armor, and the guards of the defending city, the spears in their hands have also emerged under this weather. A touch of frost. The officer patrolled back and forth on the city gate, screaming from time to time, then whispering the cold weather.
This year's snow is coming a lot earlier than in previous years. What is even more strange is that the emperor in the central part of the mainland has lowered the snow of the goose, but the north side of the mainland, Kaspersky defense line, but not yet.
A burst of northwest wind, the soldiers could not help but shrink their heads and shrink, impatiently looking at the hourglass on the city gate, calculating the time of their shift.
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 unlucky guards were transferred to shoveling snow. I heard that many caravans have been blocked in the Acropolis beyond a dozen miles away. It seems that before the road snow is cleared, don't think about entering the city.
At this time, a group of cavalry came from afar, and the leading knight had a leather armor. In such a cold weather, there was no skinny, just a red cloak on the outside, and it was full of mightyness. .
And the nearly one hundred rides followed, the Cavaliers were all straight up the backbone, carrying a long bow behind them, the cavalry with a shackle and pride on their faces, after the horse, followed by a hound running in the snow .
These cavalrymen are among the horses, but they are surrounded by a person in the middle, and a group of high-headed horses with pure white fur in the middle. At first glance, it was produced from the northwestern Liangzhu, and a small figure immediately, a golden leather jacket, wearing a leather case, and a delicate short bow behind it, surrounded by people, this person An extravagant, mouth licking a chill with a bit colder than the weather.
This team of cavalry has not yet approached the gate. The defenders of the city gate saw the flag and suddenly bent down and smashed down.
In the slamming of the squadron, "Long live the majesty", the knight who was immediately like a whirlwind, rushed in without a head, the horseshoe trampled, the wet mud and snow on the ground, splashed in the face of the defending soldiers No one dared to scream.
After the team of cavalry entered the city. The defenders of the city gates stood up one after another. Some officers looked back at the city and sighed in a low voice: "I am afraid that we are not very good today."
"In such a snowy weather, I am afraid to go out to hunt for the city. There is nothing to gain." Another officer guessed, frowning: "There are more days to go hunting every day, these times seem to be more..."
"Shut up!" The officer with a slightly higher level immediately discolored, cold and cold: "Royal things. You and I can talk about it casually!"
Charlie the Emperor... Oh, no, it should be the Emperor Charlie, under the crowd of many knights, flying all the way up the long street of the Imperial City, rampaging, the road pedestrians heard the sound of the hooves far away, and quickly rushed open.
After snowing. The muddy road on the road, at a street, suddenly heard the war horse screaming, but it seems to trample on the thick ice and snow, suddenly slipped...
With a bang, Charlie immediately fell off at a glance, but fortunately he grabbed the reins and grasped it firmly, and his body hung up. But finally did not land.
There is a good hand to go to the Yulin Army. One took the reins and calmed the horse. Hurry up and down the noble little emperor.
After the young Emperor Charlie landed, the immature face was full of anger, and suddenly he pushed the knight around him and grabbed the whip and pulled it toward his mount!
"Animals!! Beast!! You dare to bully me!! You also bullied me on my head!"
He is still young and lacks strength. However, this kind of hateful pumping is still screaming at the horses. The knights next to him are watching the horses under the armpits, but they dare to stop, but everyone is dismounting and standing next to them.
Charlie slammed his whip and gasped himself. He looked at the face around him. On his little face, he showed a hint of haze, but he took a deep breath and squeezed a smile. Slow down: "This horse shocked me, you don't have to be so afraid. Well, so cold weather, everyone don't stand here and drink the wind, go back to the palace early, today, everyone who is hunting with me, everyone has a reward ""
He said, but he hated and looked at his mount. The horse's white fur was whipped out with a lot of blood marks, but he couldn't ride. The knight head next to him quickly took his horse to the little emperor.
"Go back and kill this horse, there is no prey today, let everyone divide the horse meat." Little Charlie said lightly.
There is a reckless knight on the side, and he whispered a clever reminder: "Your Majesty, this horse is your favorite... It is the gift of the Duke of Tulips to send you a gift..."
He had already turned over and listened to Charlie. His face was suddenly stagnation, and he looked at the mouthful of the man with a sigh of relief. His face immediately gave birth to a smile: "Oh, yes, it was a gift from the teacher. But the horse The horseman is derelict and will be punished when he returns."
When he shakes the reins, he suddenly asks: "Fast New Year, I heard that the teacher has received the teacher from the emperor. It should be almost time. The teacher has been sick for many days, and I have never visited it. It is okay today. Just go to the Duke of Tulips."
He is the emperor's respect, although he has not yet in charge of the national government, but the knights around the Royal Forest Army dare to violate his meaning, hurry in front of the road, turned the direction, went to the Duke of Tulips.
There was no such thing as a large yard, and a waiter did not. Du Wei was sitting in a wheelchair, under the eaves, looking at the snow in the sky, as if thinking about what he was thinking.
The heavy snow that started the day before yesterday was two days. At the moment, under the eaves, all the crystal clear ice ridges were covered, and Du Wei seemed to look at the ice ribs in a daze.
A few days ago, Nanyang came to the messenger. The regent king ushered in the palace with the national ceremony. This etiquette almost equaled the status of Nanyang’s “United Kingdom”, which is equivalent to the recognition of the Southland country by the Roland Empire. It is a country.
Although this incident has caused a lot of criticism, after all, the Empire has been for decades. The hawks are rampant. This kind of practice is considered to be "a faceless face" that makes many people dissatisfied, but the Chancellor of the Exchequer is still smiling every day. After all, the money in his pocket is real!
As the financial stewards of the empire, only the old man can understand that the north of the empire is now fighting, and the pressure of financial tension has reached.
"This snow, the next is good. Ruixue Zhaofeng years. I hope that there will be a good year in the next year." Du Wei sighed.
Chris is still breaking the mountain tulips in the courtyard. With the tears of the crystal pendant, the spring water of life was created, and the first batch of hatched lion cubs had grown to a state of about two years in a short period of time. The first batch of griffin knights was already at the beginning. Flight and combat training.
And Baihe 愁... this guy, after coming to the Imperial Capital. I only stayed here for a few days, and after I went to see the Blue Ocean Yue side, I didn’t say goodbye to one night. This time, even the words were not left.
The Witch King, it’s a direct flash.
A few days ago, about the issue of the Nanyang messenger, there was noisy on the temple. Although the old prime minister Robschel came out at the crucial moment to support the Chancellor of the Exchequer, in front of the veteran, everyone must give him a few faces. However, in the back, there are still many people who are opposed to the Regent.
And that time, the most subtle is: the old prime minister is supporting the Chancellor of the Exchequer. But his granddaughter is jealous. The current imperial military minister, Camisiro, unexpectedly kept silent.
The military is a hawk, and the old prime minister is a dove. Camisiro was caught in the middle, but he could only make a fortune. After all, he was in charge of the commanding department, lack of qualifications, and far from being able to hold back those veteran generals. This time. His silence is obviously a good way to protect himself. I want to come to the old prime minister.
Offending people. It’s fine for the old man to do it himself. Camisiro is the hope of the future of their family, or don't stir up the dirty water.
Then, after a thing happened, the Nanyang messenger stayed in the Imperial City for three days after seeing the Regent and Emperor in the palace. On the last night, he quietly sent someone to the Duke of Tulips and sent a letter.
This letter was written by Lufic, the current King of the South Sea in the United Kingdom. This time, Duwei’s little slave and groom, after returning to China, gradually settled in position after three years. I want to come, Nanyang’s hook-and-eye, should not be as powerful as the empire. Lufic, who had been blind to Duwei for a long time, grew up, and once he was raised, it was not the foolish tribal chiefs who could deal with it.
This letter, Lufike's tone is very humble, although it is already the king's respect, in the letter is still respectfully called Du Wei as the "master."
After Du Wei finished reading the letter, he burned it immediately. After asking the messenger a few words, he confirmed that the letter had not been seen, and confirmed that the messenger knew nothing about the relationship between Du Wei and Lufike. Just ordered to bring such a letter, then turned his face on the spot, let people beat the messenger out of the ducal palace.
Afterwards, Zach had some doubts. Du Wei sneered: "Nanyang things, don't you know that we have a lot of relationship with Nanyang? At this time, I can't hide too late, how can I go up? Hit? Tonight, the messenger ran to me. I was afraid that I didn’t know how many eyes were staring at the street outside! I don’t say anything else. If someone attacks, it’s said that I’m colluding with the outsider, although I can’t take me, but always It’s a bit of trouble. In the future, we’ll be less exposed to things in Nanyang.”
"But... this annual income... a pity! At that time, we talked with Nanyang in private, let them surrender to the book and offer it every year. Originally this money can fall into our pockets. Why should they send people with great fanfare? Come to the emperor? Have you in the Imperial Capital, the Nanyang expedition is not far away, and your Highness is not listening to you?"
"Stupid." Du Wei immediately reprimanded: "We are short of money now? Nanyang this place, for a moment, caught in the hand, earning a foreign block, you expect to be in your hands for a lifetime? I am willing, Regent Ken?"
After a pause, he said again: "Lufik is out of my house. This secret is only known to a limited number of three or four people. It must not be known to the regent. This is a taboo, if you even have this reason If you don't understand, you don't have to mix it with me."
Xiao Zach smiled: "I understand."
Then Du Wei made another order: this winter, the northwest religious dedication tax, all intercepted! And it is clear! The so-called refusal is to open the book and not pay taxes!
Little Zach is worried: "I am afraid of the temple..."
"Hey, I am the Archbishop of the Northwest Territory. If there is a problem, the church can't sue me in the palace. I can only blame me for the internal system of the temple. I have to look at the Pope and dare to ask me. If he dares to come, the tax will be deducted next spring!"
For the church, I dare to stare at myself and spy on my own Brokenback Mountain. Du Wei always wants to give each other a little color to see.
Sure enough, the matter has been going on for many days, but the church has not even slammed it and endured it.
Everyone knows that the church does not lack the money, but Du Wei has publicly fallen into the face of the church, but everyone has seen it.
Looking at the ice ridge of the eaves, Du Wei suddenly sighed softly.
He moved these days with his fingers on the arm of the wheelchair, and his body finally got a little better. The degree of recovery of the body, he can barely control his upper body to do some simple daily activities, such as eating with a knife and fork chopsticks, or a wine glass, holding a book or something. It’s just that some things of gravity are still not up to the task.
Below the waist, there is still no movement.
Damn... Is this not an eunuch? Du Wei’s heart is depressed.
Immediately, my wife will come from the northwest. It’s almost a year away. The so-called small wins and new marriages can be seen in this way. How can the days go by? ?
The mood of the Duke’s adult was irritated again.
