: One thousand two hundred and fifty-one wind and rain (7)

The streets of dìdū are bustling and blurred,
Attendant Lubuk, dressed in a black dress, stood hesitantly outside the door of the military minister’s mansion, anxiously pacing back and forth at the door, holding a piece of information that had just been urgently sent from the Principality, Anto The decisive battle in the Ross Sea ended in the defeat of the Melendi Fleet.
Lubbock could imagine what kind of expression he would have when this report was submitted to his lord. The Antoros waters, as one of the centers of the empire’s outer seas, could go straight to the northern Slavic kingdom to the north. From the south, you can reach Mural in the middle. If you continue to the west, the Principality of Normandy on the protruding part of the peninsula will bear the brunt. The loss of the Antoros sea area, the enemy’s captain will drive straight in, and you may appear on the land of Normandy.
This report, which was specifically instructed by his father, the Prime Minister of the Principality, Bokoff, also mentioned one thing. One eye of the Principality in the open sea was lost. Viscount Miklar, who should have reported every five days, had not been there for 6 days. The news, Bockoff instinctively felt that this is a very dangerous signal that the Principality needs its prince to return immediately.
"Please report again, I have a very urgent matter, I must go in immediately!" God Lubbock anxious, said again to the guard captain on guard at the door
"Please understand that this is Lord Hokors's mansion. Can anyone enter it?" The captain of the guard at the door looked at the little attendant from a remote area, and he was very impatient. Shouted loudly, "If you continue to entangle here, I will immediately inform the City Health Department to arrest you and throw it to the Basto Prison where you will never see the rì light, making you smelly and moldy inside."
"But... I'm the servant of the Duke of Normandy! If something goes wrong, can you afford the responsibility?" The young and magnificent Lubeck blushed with sigh, and in his eyes, the name of the Duke of Normandy Enough to make the guards at the gate tremble, the captain of the guard rolled his eyes in dissatisfaction, and looked up and down at the young Lubok,
With his words. The six guards standing next to them also made a sound of laughter, and one of the guards laughed. This is the Imperial Kyoto, but not a small place like Normandy. Do you really think how big the Duke of Normandy is? "
These Imperial Kyoto guards wore breastplates forged from a single piece of steel, with round and oval helmets on their heads. Hold a long-handled axe gun. The sharp axe face shone in the dark night,
"To tell you the truth, we have seen too many people like you. Especially this year is an extremely important year for many local princes. In order to seek the recommendation of Lord Hokors, one of the three ministers of the Empire, no In the short two months, the princes of the few places almost crushed the roads here to pieces, and inside such people. There are also some very powerful regional owners."
Then the guard looked at Lubeck’s eyes with a disdain, and he straightened his chest and said, "For example, the Duke of Hazabide, known as the sword of the north of the empire, the Duke of Tulmans, the largest sovereign in the east of the empire, for the empire in The Duke of Jimny, which expanded the territory in the south... Compared with these profoundly-maintained landlords who have served as regional governors for more than ten years, this hope of Normandy is in a new region. New princes who stand out It’s really not enough to watch

"You... It's so rude!" Lubbock turned around in a hurry at the door, but there was nothing he could do! He was only able to scratch his hair in pain, and his pale face was filled with grief and indignation.
Feelings, this is a new melon egg who knows nothing! The captain of the guard looked at the young adjutant walking back and forth, sneered a little, no longer speaking, he remembered that someone who claimed to be the prime minister of the Principality of Normandy had also visited last year.
They were called generous. One shot was 500 imperial gold coins, but that was his five-year salary. Unfortunately, the young attendant was under his own hints. There was no response, if this time came the veteran prime minister of the Principality Bokoff. The attitude of the captain of the guard may be another situation,
Because the princes of medium places like the Duke of Normandy, if the other party is acquainted, there is not completely no room for accommodation. Unfortunately, the young Lubok obviously does not know this way.
And this is not the original intention of the principality of the Principality Bokfu to send him to dìdū. Only when he has seen the wideness of the ocean will he not be nostalgic for the ease of the ditch. Young people’s ambitions are often inspired by embarrassment.
In the direction of the mansion hall, the elegant and melodious sound of the harp came faintly. Occasionally, the banquet guests chatted and laughed at the squeaky voice. The whole banquet was undoubtedly happy. When the sky became brighter, the of night was daylight After being driven away, the waitress had waited for one night at the door, only to see the door of the mansion open, "Wow" "The ground where the cart was withdrawn from the trembling slightly shivered, and I did not know that there were so many carriages coming from there.
Almost immediately, on the originally empty Guangping, the precious carriages that quickly ran from all over the mansion were full, the door handles wrapped in gold, the silver-encrusted carriage edges, the doors and pulls made of precious oriental oak The horse's crossbars, the intricate family coats of arms inlaid on the doors, even let the first dìdū's attendant, Lubuk, have a dazzling feeling,
Although Lubbock didn’t understand the meaning of these badges, but from the complicated lines and patterns with a variety of rich meanings, he knew that any one of them was enough to make Normandy who only had the two-axe coat of arms feel ashamed,
By the glimmer of street lights on the roadside of the mansion, Lubeck could see the noble ladies dressed in costumes, fair-skinned and delicate maids, wearing smooth skin like gold, and noble nobles of precious fabrics. Like a torrent, they walked into their respective carriages, and the wheels spun out of the door of the mansion, throwing dust on the face of the young waiter,
This is the heart of the empire. Although Lubok, as a vassal of the empire, is only a rough impression of the size of the empire,
From the north to the prairie, to the south to the Alberu Mountains bordering Central Europe, to the west to the sea, to the east to the continental center Seattle, the entire Empire Center map contains nearly a hundred local princes, while within the empire, four are Members of the royal family served as the king's medium-sized kingdom, forming a barrier in the four directions of the empire's southeast and northwest. The outer tributaries were set up in twelve regions, and Normandy was located in a region in the northwest.
Among these people, they finally came out of the mansion of the Lord Chancellor Hokors,
It was his lord, Kawei Bo, who won the Grand Duke. I don’t know why. The servant officer felt that his lord was in a haze. The once strenuous and vigorous pace, when he stepped on the carriage, it seemed to become heavy at once. ,
"How are you here?"
Duke Cavie's carriage stopped at the door and looked at Lubok in surprise.
This time he brought a total of 6 attendants, most of whom were family disciples recommended by the ministers of the Principality, and this young man named Lubbock was specially recommended by his own prime minister, Bokov, because the six Among them, the only identity is a civilian servant, so Kawei Bode is very impressed with this young man. The appearance of Lubbock is similar to that of Bokef when he was young. The meaning is self-evident. ,
If it is not a close relative, it must be a father and son! For the private life of his subordinates, Kavibo won't have much interest in exploring. Whoever hasn't been in the wind, even Kavibo has two illegitimate children, this kind of thing knows well, and Bokefu has only one daughter, There is no heir. Let this illegitimate child of civilian status stay here as a servant, but it is not a sign of faithfulness,
"The Urgent Letter of the Principality!" Lubok quickly sorted out the messy clothes, took out the wrinkled hands that had been pinched by himself, and passed it through the report that was wet by sweat
"Miklar..."
Kavibo's face was ugly. His dignified eyes were fixed on the name mentioned at the end of the report. The pale face became whiter like paper. After a moment of silence, he took a deep breath. , Suddenly ordered to Lubbock "Let everyone prepare, we will return to the Principality immediately!"
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
The starry sky, covering the river among the forests, walks slowly, a fleet of four sail warships,
The fat man stood on the bow of the ship, looking up at the white snow falling above his head. His face was cold. In the distant sky, white snowflakes like white fists fell down.
But for a while, the whole world became pure white, and the ground along the river was covered with white snow. The coming of winter snow indicates that the time of Salander's Winter Veil is getting closer and closer.
"It's snowing finally!"
The fat man sighed secretly. Although this time it was Nilai’s airy report that he tried to hide Laipi from the high priest Parsina’s questioning, but at the most solemn winter curtain festival in Sarand, he was only afraid It is inevitable that I heard that High Priest Palsina left Yueansi with some unwillingness and sparseness~EbookFREE.me~ But in front of the interests of the kingdom, personal feelings can only be put aside,
In any case, the selection of the high priest must be cautious. The fat man does not know how to face the beautiful eyes of the pair of grudges when he arrives. He has some urge to shout at the surrounding wilderness of the empty mountains. Only then can he vent his heart. Depressed,
The river channel in front gradually became smaller, and the warship finally docked at a crater on the edge of the Black Forest. The accompanying 100 guards set up a tent in place. In the dark days, only the sound of falling snow could be heard. ,
The fat man finally couldn't bear it in the end of the tent, walked out of the tent, and only the guards on duty were awake.
The fat man greeted them, walking slowly on the snow under the moon, thinking about the selection of the high priest of Sarand,
"Slap" The crisp sound of a tree branch being stepped on by a heavy object. Although it was tens of meters away, how could it be possible to hide the sharp ears of the fat man in this quiet snowy night,
A fat ominous premonition rose suddenly in the fat man's heart, and he quickly hid behind a tree before looking out. The sound of the boots stepping on the snow intensively sounded, and a cold killing intention came with the wind
