Chapter 61: 【curious coincidence】

When he walked out of the barracks of the Spike Army, Roddy's inner worries finally disappeared. Saying goodbye to Gordon's commander, Gordon led his men back to the palace and went to the palace, while Roddy rode slowly on the streets of the imperial capital by himself.
Because he was wearing a noble warrior uniform and his handsome appearance from the Tulip family, Roddy on the street attracted the attention of many people. Even the soldiers from the police station that lined past from time to time saluted him.
The streets of the imperial capital are no longer prosperous, and the number of people in the pub and tea house seems to be much less. Roddy suddenly felt tired and bored in his heart. He found a tavern on the roadside at random and walked in.
Tomorrow, tomorrow he will be on the battlefield! And he is just an adult boy! Obviously know that this is a trap laid by the emperor waiting for him to step on. Obviously know that far northwest is the sturdy and brave prairie knight on the mainland, and he knows that the enemy's commander is the cunning murderer of the prairie alien race. Demon King Rayantal. But in the face of these, Roddy has no room to escape, he can only be pushed forward step by step by fate...
Although the business in the tavern is deserted, after all, this is the most prosperous city in the whole continent-the capital. There are always some guests. It's just that these guests seem to be whispering in twos and threes. Roddy listened carefully, and they mostly talked about the war in the Northwest.
Obviously, in the palace hall yesterday, His Majesty the Emperor asked the officer in the northwest to tell the military information about the defeat, and news of the defeat soon spread from the palace—what else in this world could spread faster than bad news s things?
Of course, it’s obvious that most of those diners are hearsay, and most of them are relatives who work in the house of a certain nobleman, and then the "most reliable news" overheard is often said by a guest at the table. After "the most reliable news", a few people will be surrounded immediately, and these news have often been spread beyond recognition. Some say that the news of the defeat is simply false. The great empire has an elite army of 200,000 in the northwest, and it is impossible to be defeated by the alien races on the grasslands. Some say that the 200,000 troops in the northwest have been wiped out. The murderer in the northwest, Luoyan Thar, has piled the heads of imperial soldiers into countless towers of heads that are more than ten meters high. He kept saying that this was seen by one of his relatives from the northwest. Some people even said alarmistly that the cavalry of the alien race in the steppe will arrive at the imperial capital in a few days...
Roddy didn't know whether to laugh or cry. The public is often easily deceived. Regardless of whether the news is true or false, the depression on the market and the grim and sad expressions on the faces of pedestrians are true.
The number of people gathered in the temple of the imperial capital was many times more than before. It turns out that even civilians who are not very steadfast in their beliefs have become believers of the most pious gods at this moment, and sincerely pray that the Almighty God can bless the Guangming Empire to defeat foreign invaders and defend the people who believe in God... And the huge religious temple The donation box was quickly filled with money from civilians willing to show their piety to God...
Seeing these confused civilians, Roddy felt complicated. If he were replaced by him a few months ago, he would be like these civilians at this time, full of confusion and...a trace of fear before the war. But at this moment, he, who fully understands the situation, is under more pressure than these civilians who know nothing about the war. Which of these two feelings is happier?
Roddy couldn't help but raised his head and took a sip of wine. The spicy inferior wine in the ordinary tavern choked him into a violent cough-he had never been to a tavern before, he was a poor boy before, and he had no money for tavern.
"How can you drink this kind of thing! I really don't understand why so many people like to drink, this thing is spicy and bitter, what's so good to drink!" Roddy, after all, is a young man's heart, dropped a gold coin and strode out After leaving the tavern, he didn't notice that the other guests behind him looked at him with all kinds of responsible eyes.
"That guy seems to be a noble... or a samurai."
"Hmph, you are wrong, I think he is an officer! Didn't you see the badge of the Central Cavalry Regiment on him!"
"Oh, the sorrow of the empire, before the war, these soldiers didn't go to war to defend their homeland, but actually came to drink..."
Roddy only felt a bit of bitterness in his mouth, these words fell in his ears, and couldn't help feeling a little irritable in his heart!
Why! Why should I bear all this!
Roddy jumped on the horse and spurred on the street. The policemen patrolling the street did not dare to stop him. Seeing Roddy's badge on his chest, they all cleared the way.
Where can I go to relax?
Immediately, Roddy thought of Nicole. Thinking of Nicole’s charming face and gentle eyes, Roddy couldn’t help but feel a little sweetness in his heart, but then he dispelled the idea of ​​going home to see Nicole at once-since he didn’t tell Andy’s words Tell Nicole that I just don't want Nicole to worry and worry with him, after all, even if she knows it, she can't change anything.
His mind was noisy, but the horses under his hips were still running, and he didn't know if it was accidental horses walking randomly, or he simply controlled the direction of the horses subconsciously. Anyway, when Roddy raised his head, he found that he had come to a familiar building...
The red-embroidered jade arms were so beautiful and sweet, and the bursts of vocal music from inside made Roddy stunned. Isn't this the cave of ecstasy that I visited last time? Speaking of it, it was because that time and the Bayan guys came here to fool around, and as a result, they fought the envoy of the Great Moon Kingdom, which caused him to be arrested by His Majesty the Emperor and bear such a heavy burden!
Roddy was stunned for a few minutes, a long beautiful but indifferent face flashed in his mind, he got off the horse in a wicked manner, and then strode in.
Ms. Sha Fei immediately greeted them. There were three schools of people who did their job, ranging from wealthy merchants like upstarts to nobles who could enter and leave the palace. Shafei had long heard that this had been canonized by the Emperor as the new generation of Grand Duke of Tulips. This time, the spirit of twelve points was used and the enthusiasm was 200%. Roddy didn't let her talk more, but simply said: "I want to see Miss Miao Ge."
Ms. Shafei is so good at observing words and colors. Seeing Roddy's face seemed to be in a bad mood, she didn't dare to ask more, just took Roddy to the side hall where they had visited last time. When Roddy got to the stairs, he suddenly stopped. Deep down in his heart, he really didn't want to see Miao Ge in the side hall where he was shopping for laughs.
In his heart, he didn't regard Miao Ge as a dusty woman. The appearance of Miao Ge that day left him with the indifferent, noble and gorgeous image, which is really very different from the usual dusty woman in his mind.
Roddy stopped and said lightly: "Take me directly to her room."
Ms. Sha Fei was stunned for a moment, wondering how this young master would come up with new tricks every time she came. Just about to say something more, Roddy's eyes stared slightly, and she was so scared that she immediately closed her mouth and quickly led the way.
Duke Tulip, just these words can crush her to death!
Roddy walked behind with satisfaction, with a hint of malicious joy in his heart: this kind of power feels really good.
