Luo Di slowly raised his head, and felt the sharp gaze of the other party in front of him, I don't know why, that kind of gaze pierced his face as if it was like a real body, and Luo Di could even feel a feeling of hair standing on end.
"Seth, come here" Roddy exhaled lightly, slowly stood up, and walked a few steps.
The person in front of him was the emperor of the empire, Abbasid XI, and Luo Di frowned in his heart: why didn't he look very energetic In Roddy's impression, the emperor of the empire, as a descendant of the Abbasid Great, should be wearing golden armor, burly, with electric eyes, full of energy, and a majestic look.
But the middle-aged man in front of him, his face was pale, and his emaciated body was hidden under a wide white robe, but it gave people a gloomy feeling.
Hmph, it seems that being an emperor may not be a very happy thing, looking at his appearance, there is a faint "Chuan" shaped wrinkle between his eyebrows, I think I must be frowning often on weekdays.
Luo Di stood ten steps away in front of the emperor, did not dare to get any closer, and still made a gesture of standing with his hands down.
Abbasid XI's gaze finally left Roddy's face, as if in the middle, he seemed to sigh softly.
"Seth, how long has it been since I've seen you, well, it's been a few years, or when your father died, and at that time, you were still a child."
Abbasid XI's tone was somewhat sad.
Roddy kept his mouth shut, his head down and didn't speak.
"I haven't seen you for a few years, but you look much stronger, no worse than your father used to be."
Abbasid XI slowly walked to Roddy's side, stretched out his hand and patted Roddy's shoulder as if forcefully, and said slowly: "I know you are uneasy, what happened today has been reported to me. ” Luo Di thought about it and wanted to say something, but was stopped by the emperor with a gesture.
"I know what you're trying to say, Bayan told me what happened.
But I also know that there is too much moisture in his words, hum.
I'm not old and confused, but after all, this incident happened, and you also beat people, and you should know the consequences. ” Roddy nodded, Nicole had already instructed him when he came, try not to talk too much, say too much wrong.
Abbasid XI looked at Roddy's gaze a little playfully, a cold smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and said slowly: "Why don't you speak, I heard, your character is not like this, you are notoriously bold." ” Luo Di took a deep breath, slowly raised his head, looked directly into the emperor's gaze, and said solemnly: "Your Majesty, I don't know what to say."
Your Majesty summoned me, and naturally a decision has already been made. ” A look of surprise flashed in the eyes of Abbasid XI, and then he frowned slightly, seemed to groan, and said slowly: "You should know about the war between the empire and the Great Moon Kingdom."
Roddy thought about it, although the war had been concealed, but this kind of news could not be concealed at the top, otherwise Nicole would not have known.
His Majesty the Emperor asked himself this, obviously believing that he also knew the situation, in this case, it would be useless for him to pretend to be stupid, so he nodded generously.
"Good."
Abbasid XI nodded: "You're smart enough not to lie to me."
There was a bit of serenity in his tone.
Immediately, the supreme commander of the empire changed his tone and said slowly: "So, as the heir of the Tulip family and the banner of the imperial army, what do you think?"
Luo Di thought for a moment and said loudly: "The Tulip family is willing to gallop on the battlefield for the empire and defend the dignity of the empire to the death."
That's what Nicole taught him before he came.
Anyway, no matter what, His Majesty the Emperor will not be surprised if the words on this scene come out.
Sure enough, a satisfied smile appeared on the pale face of Abbasid XI, and he said lightly: "It's a pity that you are still young and have not inherited the title yet, otherwise, I really hope that you can serve me and I also hope that the undefeated history of the Tulip family can be obtained in you, and the Great Moon Kingdom hums a group of uncivilized barbarian alien races" Speaking of the last two sentences, His Majesty the Emperor's tone obviously showed a bit of hatred.
Luo Di sneered in his heart: Barbarians, a group of barbarians, but the commander of the Northwest Legion appointed by you personally beat him to the point of losing his armor Of course, Luo Di would never say that kind of thing, but he swallowed his anger and whispered: "Your Majesty's name" is just a slander in his heart, but outsiders don't know.
Abbasid XI sighed, as if he also sensed that his emotions were a little out of control, and lowered his voice: "It's just that now the empire has just been defeated, and the army's morale is fluctuating.
I asked you to come because I wanted you to do something for me."
Roddy immediately remembered Nicole's instructions, hurriedly made a look of infinite loyalty, knelt down on one knee, and looked up at His Majesty at a forty-five degree angle with eager eyes, and scolded in his heart: This kind of hellish heir to the first family of the empire is really holding his breath.
Abbasid XI stared at Roddy, seemed to be quite satisfied with his actions, and said slowly: "I have decided, three days later, you and I will personally preside over your succession ceremony, if you can pass the imperial assessment, I will officially announce that you inherit the title of the Tulip family and become the new Duke of Rudolph, and then, I will have a more important mission to you."
Luo Di didn't speak, just looked at the emperor with a solemn gaze, he knew that when the words were said for this part, he would definitely not show a look of surprise on his face.
Sure enough, Abbasid XI saw that Roddy's face was calm as usual, nodded, and then announced loudly: "If you succeed to the title, I will appoint you as the special envoy for the inspection of military affairs in the northwest, and I order you to go to the northwest theater immediately to assist General Ruben of the Northwest Army in presiding over military affairs there."
"Ahh If he wants to go to the front line to inspect the envoy in the northwest, it is the emperor Qincha, although Luo Di has not been an official, but after all, he is a person who has experienced the orthodox education of the Imperial Academy, and he knows the significance of this envoy At a special moment, it is the person in charge of the Northwest Military Affairs, and he can even override the original first commander of the Northwest Army Abbasid XI sighed.
"I know you're too young to take on such a burden right away, but now is a difficult time for the Empire.
Since the Tulip Family is the military god of the empire and the banner of the imperial army, it should understand that now is the moment when the empire needs you the most" The majestic gaze gradually softened, and the emperor also lowered his voice and said: "However, I can also tell you that I asked you to go to the northwest, not really hoping that you can change the situation immediately, after all, you are still young and cannot have too much experience."
What I need is a flag, at the moment of the defeat of the empire, the military spirit will float, I need the banner of your Tulip family to come out to stabilize the military heart, I don't need you to do too much, as long as you go to the front line, as long as the soldiers know that the flag of the Tulip family is erected, then the current floating military spirit will be stabilized, do you understand my intentions?"
"Understood."
Roddy breathed a sigh of relief.
He was not afraid of going to the front line to fight, as a samurai, he had long planned to enter the army and become a professional soldier.
It's just that when he was young, he was entrusted with such a heavy responsibility, and he still couldn't avoid apprehension in his heart.
However, the emperor's words were also very clear, and he didn't want him to really lead the military affairs of the party, so he wanted him to be a mud bodhisattva.
Just make a show and show it to the soldiers of the army.
After all, the myth of the undefeated military god of the Tulip family is a good way to stabilize the morale of the army at the moment.

Looking at the nervous expression on Roddy's face, Abbasid XI smiled slightly and said lightly: "I believe that the Tulip Family will not let me down, so I hope you can live up to my heavy responsibility."
Luo Di took a deep breath, slowly knelt down on one knee, and said, "Yes." ” Now that he had said all that had to be said, the Emperor nodded and motioned for Roddy to leave.
Roddy slowly stood up, gave a serious salute, turned and strode away.
As he reached the gate, the emperor suddenly spoke softly.
"Seth, I heard that you and Jojo have been getting close lately, I hope you don't get distracted by other things at this time" Luo Di's body stiffened, and he sneered secretly, but he slowly turned around and said, "I understand." ” Hmph, fighting with the emperor for women, I don't have that interest now Out of the main hall, Roddy first found Gordon to get his spotlight sword back, and then got into the carriage without saying a word.
Back at home, Nicole was surprised to see that Roddy had come back so quickly, and when Roddy had said what the emperor had said, Nicole had a solemn expression on her face.
"His Majesty the Emperor didn't blame you" Roddy sighed: "I also think it's strange, he just mentioned it lightly, and then diverted the topic." ” The contemplation on Nicole's face became more solemn, and after a while, she whispered: "So, are you sure about the assessment in three days?"
Roddy nodded: "There should be no problem." ” "But now that the situation in the northwest is tense, His Majesty wants you to go to the front," Nicole had a sad expression on her face.
Roddy's heart was hot, and he couldn't help but hold Nicole's hand before leaving: "Nicole, are you worried about me?"
Nicole blushed, withdrew her hand vigilantly, took a step back, and looked to the side.
Fortunately, there were no other servants around at the moment.
The two have already separated the people around them in order to talk.
Seeing Nicole dodging, Roddy felt gloomy and smiled bitterly: "Nicole, I'm sorry." ” Ni could see that Luo Di was unhappy, thinking that he would go to the front line in a few days, a tenderness welled up in her heart, her eyes were red, and she said softly: "Luo Di, please, don't force me, okay now, now our identities are different" Roddy showed a self-deprecating expression, just sighed, gave Nicole a deep look, and turned to leave.
"Wait" Nicole showed an anxious expression on her face, and she couldn't take care of it in a hurry, she ran to Roddy in a few steps, grabbed the corner of his clothes, and hurriedly said: "Roddy, don't get me wrong, I mean now that you are playing my brother, etc., after this matter is over, I will arrange for you to join the army, as long as you work hard, I will wait for you in the future" The last few words were inaudible, fortunately, Roddy, as a samurai, has clear ears and eyes, if he lacks a little bit of cultivation, I am afraid that he will not be able to hear it.
Roddy was pleasantly surprised, glaring at Nicole, with ecstasy on his face: "Really Nicole, do you mean it?"
Nicole's face turned crimson, and she lowered her hand and said, "What do you want me to do, you have been rude to me twice, do you think I am" When she said the last few words, the expression on her face almost cried.
Roddy was very soft in his heart, and grabbed Nicole's hand in ecstasy, this time he said that he would not let go of anything, but said in a daze: "Then you don't dislike my identity, I'm just a civilian, you, you" Nicole had a displeased expression on her face, and said angrily, "Do you think that my Tulip Family is someone, how can I Nicole be that kind of person?"
Luo Di only felt that a hundred flowers were blooming in his heart at the moment, and the depression of many days was immediately swept away, what emperor's orders, what title assessment were all left behind, and he didn't care about anything about going to the front line, let alone let him go to the front line, even if he let his sword fight with those barbarians of different races at the moment, he would not frown "Nice, don't worry, I will definitely work hard, I will definitely do a career, and I will definitely not disgrace the reputation of your tulip family," Roddy exclaimed loudly with excitement on his face.
"Shut up" Nicole's face was crimson, but she stomped her feet anxiously, eager to cover Roddy's mouth with her hand: "Shut up, what's this place, don't shout loudly" Roddy shut up, but excitedly reached out to hug Nicole, Nicole blushed, dodged, hurriedly opened the door and ran out.
Roddy was stunned and watched Nicole flash out of the door, only to feel that all the suffering she had suffered for many days was worth it, and she was so excited that she wished she could yell three times.
"What a fool," a sneering voice suddenly came from his head.
"Andy, shut up," Roddy was happy and in no mood to argue with Andy.
"Hmph, I said you stupid" Andy's voice was cold: "It's okay if the man is stupid, the woman is quite smart, but I didn't expect to be carried away by that bullshit love, your goddamn emperor is telling you to die, so obvious is a plan to kill people with a knife, you two fools look stupid like obediently slaughtering sheep, I think the emperor is really happy in his heart at this moment, I'm afraid there will be firecrackers in the palace, stupid":
