Chapter 105: 【Welcome ceremony】

Chapter One Hundred Five
After a safe journey, Roddy and his party finally arrived in the southeast Zhongziye City.
Ziye City is located in the southeast of the empire and is the capital of the southeastern province of Schier. The city can accommodate millions of people and is the largest city in the southeast. The city was built in the era of Abbasid the Great two hundred years ago. It was a city built by Abbasid the Great in order to stabilize the South after he fought the Quartet to conquer the South.
The city wall is dozens of miles long, and the city wall is tall and strong, and even the shortest place is 15 meters high. The width of the city wall is almost comparable to that of the imperial capital, and it can accommodate four horses walking side by side. Under the city wall, a moat up to a few meters deep was excavated, which attracted the water of the Ziye River that moved in the city.
Because this city was used as the first military fortress in the southeast, the military facilities on the city wall are very complete, and all kinds of ordnance in Ziye City are also adequately stocked. The food alone is enough for one hundred thousand soldiers to spend three. year!
After more than two hundred years of operation, because it is located on the Ziye River, water transportation is developed, and it is the capital of Shire Province, so commercial trade is also extremely prosperous. After two hundred years of peace and prosperity, this place has developed into the largest city in the southern part of the empire. In the empire, it was called the "Southern Capital".
Long before Roddy arrived, the governors of the three southeast provinces had all gathered in Purple Leaf City. Just waiting to meet the southeast special envoy sent by the emperor, the governor. After all, they are your majesty's special envoy, let alone the duke, the heir of the Tulip family of the first family of the empire? The three words tulip, thrown out in the empire, can shake one party!
When the rewards were received, the governors of the three places immediately brought a large number of people out of the city to greet them. Roddy and his group saw a large group of people standing under the city gate from a distance, and the guard of honor beside the road was even more clearly dressed, so unreliable!
Governor Schill stood in the middle. After all, he was the head of the magistrate here, while the other two governors from other provinces stood on both sides and ran toward Roddy's carriage with smiles on their faces. Without waiting for Roddy's guards to act, one governor personally opened the carriage door for Roddy, while the other rushed to help Roddy down.
When they saw Roddy, they were all taken aback.
After all, they are located in the southern frontiers of the empire. Although they had inquired about the Lord Duke when they were given the order, they also knew that the Lord Duke had just inherited the title and was very young, but when they really met, they still Can't help being shocked. I really didn't expect the Lord Duke to be so young-he seemed to be only twenty years old.
I was even more puzzled: Can such a young duke be able to repel the commander-in-chief of the 100,000 army of alien races in the northwest? It doesn’t look much like it from the left...
Standing in the middle, Governor Schell was the most cunning and cunning. Seeing that the Lord Duke was so young, his heart was greatly relaxed, and he couldn't help thinking: a young man, no matter how powerful he is, he is limited. As long as you coax him well, everything is easy...
The other two governors were flattering. Roddy had heard flattering words like "young and promising" and "promising future" and so on.
Fortunately, Roddy had experienced this kind of scene a lot at this moment, but he frowned at random, smiled faintly, and followed them with flattery.
Everyone greeted Roddy and went straight into the city. The people who watched the excitement all the way all knew that the famous Duke Tulip of the Empire had arrived. They all stretched their necks and watched. They didn't dare to come closer, but got a little closer. People were all whipped back by some wolf-like soldiers. Everyone dared to be angry but didn't dare to speak, they just pointed far away.
Roddy looked in his eyes and frowned secretly. He glanced coldly at the Governor Schell next to him, and saw that he still had a smug smile on his face, and Rody's eyes gradually cooled.
After entering the Governor's Mansion, someone naturally led Roddy's men to rest. In the main hall of the Governor's Mansion, there were a large number of local gentry and celebrities waiting. Roddy strode in, and the three Governors beside him nodded and bowed to follow. Those local wealthy celebrities immediately surrounded them like flies. Roddy cheered up and barely managed to deal with it. He only smiled when he heard the other party's flattery.
Seeing that the big celebrities in these places are full of brains, greedy and respectful, there are really few good people.
The crowd was clamoring for a long time, and Roddy was bored and couldn't help but yawn.
The Governor Schell's eyes lit up and he caught Roddy's motion in his eyes, and immediately said loudly: "The Lord Duke must have been tired all the way. It is lunch time now! The humble job is already ready! Lord Duke, please enjoy!"
Immediately he clapped his hands, only to hear the two side doors of the main hall open at the same time, two groups of young and charming women in bright clothes walked in slowly, each holding a tray gently in his hand with a large or small number on it. Silver platter. A woman was serving a table, and Roddy was stunned when the plates were placed on the table.
Seeing these women file in, serving up a variety of dishes from time to time, Roddy couldn't help but feel a bit eye-opening. Seeing that there are dozens of large and small silver plates on a table in front of you! There are so many colorful dishes, strangeness, and ingenuity that Roddy has never heard of, sees and sees!
These foods are obviously from the master's cuisine, the color, fragrance, and taste are extremely pleasing to the eye. The smell of the appetite in the nose makes people move their index fingers.
Roddy was secretly amazed in his heart, there are many foods in it, even Roddy, who has participated in the palace feast, has never seen it!
Seeing that two sweaty upper bodies moved a huge wine bottle to the center of the main hall and put it down, a closer look revealed that the wine bottle was actually pure gold! Then a stunning woman wearing a short shirt walked into the main hall.
I saw that she was at most about twenty years old. Under that short dress, her arms and legs were exposed, revealing her toned and fair skin. The coat is even shorter, revealing a small waist. A pair of eyes flickered at the corners of the eyebrows, and their eyes flickered, which was extremely attractive. She came in styles, but she was still naked with a pair of pink and beautiful jade feet, and a small golden bell was tied to her feet, and she jingled along the way.
She slowly walked to the pure gold wine bottle, picked up a gold cup and gently sent it into the wine bottle to hold a glass of wine, then moved it gently to Roddy's table, slowly knelt down and held the gold cup in her hand, with a soft voice Called: "Duke Lord, please drink!"
Roddy looked at the beauty in front of him, couldn't help but glanced at the Governor Schell next to him, and said lightly: "You have taken a lot of thought, Lord Governor."
The Governor-General Schill showed his face and nodded and laughed: "Don't dare! Lord Duke! This is the famous beauty in Ziye City, and ordinary people can't meet each other if they want to see it. I heard that today. The Duke Tulip arrived, and invited her to serve the adults drinking."
Roddy nodded, glanced at the woman, gently took the wine glass, looked around, and said loudly: "Everyone, I am appointed by your majesty to come to the Southeast as special envoy. I won't say any more polite words, just hope Every local celebrity can provide great assistance, and everyone can do something well so that I can give back to your majesty."
After a great applause, everyone held up their glasses, and then everyone drank them all.
Governor Schill had a smile on his face, his eyes flashed with light, and then he whispered a few words to a servant beside him. The servant immediately trot out through the side door.
Not long after, only a crisp sound was heard, and then the side door slowly opened, and a small rolling table was slowly pushed in. On the top of the table was a young woman who was dressed in white and a person was placed in front of him. What a high harp. A pair of slender jade hands, ten fingers fluctuating, lightly clasping the silver wire-like Qin Xuan, the harp immediately uttered beautiful music.
There was a slight sound of footsteps, and from behind the side doors on both sides, two dozen young women entered, all of them gorgeous and charming. These women walked slowly to the many nobles, sat down gently, whispered softly, some handed the wine, some gently into their arms. For a while, Roddy was almost stunned. He really didn't expect to encounter such a thing in the hall of the imperial governor's palace where an official was handling official affairs! This is no different from the "Ecstasy Cave" of the Imperial Capital.
Just when he was shocked, the woman in red also slowly sat beside Roddy, smiled softly, and snuggled up with a gentle and fragrant body.
The Governor of Hill was very pleased, holding a woman in his arms, secretly proud: Fortunately, I sent someone to inquire about the Duke’s preferences after learning of your Majesty’s order. Fortunately, I heard that he is also a drinker. The character, my preparation must have made him extremely satisfied.
Just when Roddy was a little dazed and still hadn't reacted, a guard outside the main hall shouted: "My lord Camus is here!"
Roddy immediately woke up and pushed away the woman in red beside him with a calm expression. As Huohuo's leather boots creaked, an old officer in the uniform of the imperial senior commander strode into the main hall.
He seems to be more than fifty years old, born tall, with a mighty appearance and broad shoulders. Although his head is full of silver hair, his waist is straight.
The Camus army commander strode into the main hall, and everyone around him was drinking and having fun. They looked at him with strange and humble eyes.
Camus looked indifferent, glanced around, and suddenly a strange look appeared in his eyes, strode to the middle, raised his leg and kicked over the pure gold wine bottle, and the wine was full of aroma in the hall.
With the exclamation of everyone, Camus stood in front of Roddy, looked straight at Roddy, and said with a grin: "Camus, commander of the Southern Army, has seen Lord Duke."
