Everyone smashed the votes in the list ` Chapter Ninety-Three A few days later, the new commander of the North-Western Corps, Elliot, arrived with a thousand cavalry.
Luo Di handed over the military affairs of the northwest with him, and took the people of the Central Cavalry Regiment who had originally followed him and the royal guards under Gordon on the road back to the imperial capital.
The commander of the Ellio regiment is an old and serious person, and I heard Ziggy say that when he was the deputy commander of the Central Cavalry Regiment, he was not very corrupt, but his ability was not outstanding, and no one was offended on weekdays, and no one interacted with him.
Neither is he greedy for money, nor is he lustful, nor does he like power.
Roddy sighed, the current situation in the northwest, what is most needed is a person who can be resolute and resolute, uproot all the rotten things, this Elliot doesn't seem to be this kind of person.
However, I heard that he seems to be very familiar with military affairs.
Now that the emperor doesn't want to fight, and Rochenthal can't fight there, and the two princes of the Great Moon Kingdom are fighting for power among themselves, then this Eliot will guard the gate of the empire in the northwest, as long as there are no mistakes, there is no big problem.
The only thing that made Roddy angry was that Jojo also returned to the imperial capital with him all the way.
When she was in Watt Fortress the other day, Jojo ignored herself, but after getting on the road, she seemed to have eased up and began to approach herself, intentionally or unintentionally.
Their return to the imperial capital this time was different from when they came.
I heard from the commander of the Elho legion that the empire and the Great Moon Kingdom had sent envoys to negotiate peace with each other, and both sides had gathered their armies, and the Great Moon Kingdom had also sent a prince or something like that to the imperial capital to show its sincerity.
So on the way back, everyone looked relaxed, unlike the rapid march that lasted day and night all the way when they came.
Jojo twice sent someone to ask Roddy to get into her carriage, but Roddy's face was so red that he was so frightened that he asked his own soldiers to refuse.
It is only said that the army is marching, and the commander cannot leave without permission.
Qiao Qiao secretly hated in his heart, but after all, he loved this Seth miserably in his heart, and seeing that the black-robed woman who made him feel threatened had left, his heart was also much more stable, and it should not be difficult to regain his lover's heart with his identity, status and beauty.
After walking for a long time, Qiao Qiao couldn't bear it anymore, let his men carry their horses, and actually left the carriage, rode to Roddy's side, and walked side by side with him.
Although in the army, idle people and others cannot easily approach the commander.
But this Miss Qiaoqiao's identity is different from others, she is the sister of Her Majesty the Empress, and she is an envoy sent by the emperor, and she vaguely seems to be a little unclear with the Duke.
Who is so bad in the brain that he would dare to stop her, not to mention that Gordon immediately hid far away, and even Ziggy found an excuse to run aside.
Fortunately, during the march, there were people all around, and Qiao Qiao didn't dare to say anything in private, but just casually asked about some things in the northwest, and Luo Di had no choice but to deal with a few words casually.
Speaking of the thrilling place, Qiaoqiao's face turned pale with fright, and he stroked his chest again and again, and his gaze towards Roddy was even more gentle.
Thinking that Lover has experienced life and death in the northwest this time, and his military exploits are outstanding, he can't help but feel distressed and happy.
Seeing that the sun was at noon, under the sun, Qiao Qiao's forehead was also a little sweaty, and Luo Di couldn't bear that such a delicate girl as her also rode with a group of cavalry, and gently persuaded her to go back to the carriage.
Qiao Qiao saw that the other party's attitude finally softened, and his heart was happy, so he obediently went back.
When Roddy first set out on the expedition, he marched rapidly from the small road and rushed to the Watt fortress in three days.
But this time I went back, but I walked for five days, and I only walked half the way.
Seeing that it was gradually penetrating into the territory of the empire, far away from the northwest theater of operations, the surrounding villages and towns were all peaceful and peaceful, and there was no such situation of war and ruin in the northwest, Luo Di sighed in his heart, if it were not for the Watt Fortress, which was firmly crucified in the northwest like a nail, how could these people in front of them enjoy peace When you go to the sixth day, you have already entered Xilin Province, and if you go forward for five days, you can reach the imperial capital after leaving Xilin Province.
The journey was safe and sound, and everyone was relaxed.
In this battle of the Northwest, the Central Cavalry Corps completed the task excellently, and barely won the battle, and everyone naturally had a reward after going back, so everyone was relaxed.
Only Roddy's face was calm, and there was no joy at all, and he didn't look back to the north along the way, thinking of the figure in the black robe from time to time, and knowing in his heart that the further he went south, the farther he went.
That night, we arrived at Xiqiu City, the capital of Xilin Province.
Roddy ordered the army to be stationed outside the city to rest.
The local officials in Xiqiu asked to see him, and Luo Di also let his subordinates block the way.
Along the way, in some towns and places passed, those local officials saw the victory of the Duke Tulip of the Empire, all sharpened their heads and stammered, and along the way there were continuous wine banquets, and local celebrities were surrounded like flies.
Roddy coped with it for two days at first, but then he couldn't stand it.
But for these people's reward of the army's wine, meat and food, it was unceremonious to all his subordinates, and then let the officers disperse to the whole army.
The soldiers were all happy, and they only felt that following this duke, they could not only win the battle, but also drink wine and eat meat, and they all wanted to return to the imperial capital, and this duke could be the commander of the Central Cavalry Corps.
The soldiers drove away the magistrates, and as soon as Roddy sat down, Jojo ran in, begging Roddy to go into the city with him.
There are a few small towns along the way, but Xiqiu is the largest capital of Xilin Province and one of the largest cities in the northern part of the empire.
Luo Di was so annoyed by Qiao Qiao that he couldn't stand it, so he could only call a few personal soldiers to change into civilian clothes and follow Qiao Qiao out of the barracks.
This Xiqiu is indeed a big city in the north, although the northwest is at war, but it is still peaceful here, the streets in the city are prosperous, and there is an endless stream of merchants from the north and south, although it is already night, but the business in the shops is still booming, and there are many pedestrians on the street.
A peaceful landscape.
It's just that it's not a group of security soldiers walking back and forth, they are all fully armed, and they show a little nervousness.
Roddy followed Jojo for a while, and Jojo was elated, but he was not interested.
Finally pulled Qiaoqiao into a restaurant on the side of the road to rest.

Ordering something to eat casually, Roddy had just taken a breath when he heard the other guests around him talking about the war in the northwest.
It was rumored that the war in the northwest was very good, Duke Tulip went out and killed Luo Yantar to a great defeat, the Great Moon Kingdom lost its troops, and Luo Yan Taal was full of fart.
Some people even say that they have noses and eyes, and the Duke fought with Rochenthal for a day and a night in front of the two armies, and the sky was dark, and the sun and moon were dark.
In the end, the Duke used the tulip family legend of the trick "Nine Heavens and Ten Earths Bodhisattva shook his head for fear of thunderbolts, golden light, thunder and lightning in the Nine Heavens", and cut off the head of Rochenthal's horse with a sword, and after Rogenthal fell off the horse, he kowtowed and surrendered and retreated to the grassland with an army of 100,000 barbarians Roddy almost squirted out a mouthful of water when he heard this, and only thought that this rumor was really ridiculous.
In the first battle in the northwest, he can never say that he won the battle, and Rochenthal was definitely not defeated.
It's just that he succeeded in a sneak attack, disrupting the other party's interior and disrupting Rochenthal's steps, and under the internal chaos, Rochenthal could only run home to put out the fire first.
With Rochenthal's ability, he is definitely a matter of time.
As long as he sweeps away the internal opposition, once he becomes king in the future, it will inevitably be a new storm, and a major war is inevitable Jojo doesn't care about this, as long as others praise his lover, it is an extremely happy thing.
I just think what these people say is extremely interesting, and some of them are too ridiculous What is the Duke is a few meters tall, a sword in his hand can cut off a mountain, a roar can scare away tens of thousands of enemies, etc., and finally heard them more and more outrageous, I couldn't help but laugh.
This laugh was too loud, and the laughter was full of disdain and mockery, and the few people who spoke immediately heard it, and they all turned their heads and glared angrily.
At a glance, I saw a charming woman on the other side looking at him with a smile, and a young and handsome man with a handsome face next to him was frowning, and the anger on his face could not be released.
There were also people who remembered their confused thoughts on the spot, but they didn't dare to talk to each other when they saw a few sturdy men standing around them, faintly protecting the woman in the middle.
A person coughed lightly, and couldn't help but say loudly: "This young lady, looking at your appearance, you are also a person with status, we are talking about the heroic deeds of the respected Duke Tulip, what are you laughing at" Qiao Qiao's eyes rolled and said, "It's nothing, it's just that what you said is so exaggerated, so Duke Tulip is really that powerful, I don't think it maybe."
As soon as he said this, the man's face immediately showed an unhappy expression, even if it was a beautiful woman in front of him, he couldn't care about it, and said loudly: "Lord Duke is the military god of the empire, naturally he is a god-like figure, you are a little girl, what do you know?"
Several people next to him also showed dissatisfied expressions on their faces, except for a few lustful people who were still looking at Qiao Qiao, and some of the other older people were all glaring angrily.
Qiao Qiao didn't care, and said with a smile: "You always say that he is so powerful, have you seen it with your own eyes?"
The person who said what the Duke had just said about the battle against Rochenthal immediately turned red, and he said: "Although I haven't seen it, everyone says so, most of them are true."
Qiao Qiao snorted and cross-examined: "The rumors may not be true, I don't think that Duke Tulip is as powerful as you say, maybe he is a careless and oily guy" After speaking, he glanced at Luo Di beside him.
As soon as she said this, the guests stopped doing it, and a few people stood up and shouted: "Seeing that you are dressed and a person with status, you dare to say that if the Duke of the Empire, the patron saint of the empire, had not seen that you were a nobleman, he would have taught you a lesson a long time ago."
Someone said: "You little girl is too ignorant and there is no Duke to guard in the northwest, how can we live such a peaceful life" Others with tricks in their hearts shouted: "Catch this chick and ask her to admit her mistake" Seeing a few guests who had drunk a few glasses of wine rolling up their sleeves and walking here, Roddy frowned and said to Qiaoqiao, "Don't say it again."
Pick up Qiao Qiao and leave, those drunken guests want to stop them, where can they stop the Wolf Tooth soldiers under Roddy Walking to the street, Qiao Qiao said softly: "Seth, I just said that you are unkind and oily, are you angry?"
Roddy shook his head, helpless in his heart, just said no.
Qiao Qiao sighed: "I like your oily and smooth appearance in the past, unlike now, the more you look at the seriousness of your taciturn face, the more you look like your father." ” Luo Di smiled bitterly in his heart, but he couldn't answer, he just strode forward, but when he came out just now, he took Qiaoqiao's hand, and now Qiaoqiao refused to let go.
Several of the soldiers behind him all had strange smiles on their faces, and they only felt that this Duke was very powerful on the battlefield, but they were helpless by this Miss Qiaoqiao.
After walking a few steps, I saw a square in front of me, although it was night, but the lights on the square were bright, the crowd was crowded, and I didn't know what was lively.
Jojo became curious, and pulled Roddy to run over.
I saw a small platform set up on the edge of the square, on which a man in a brocade robe was shouting loudly, and behind him stood two strong men with naked upper bodies, their faces full of horizontal meat, each holding a leather whip in their hands.
A few wolf-like soldiers of the Wolf Tooth Army squeezed through the crowd and cleared a passage for Jojo and Roddy to walk to the stage.
Although the people next to him were not angry, they saw that the other party's behavior was with extraordinary momentum, and several of his subordinates were also murderous, and they didn't dare to speak.
The brocade-robed man on the stage saw that there were many people in front of him, and immediately turned around and nodded to the two big men under him, and then the two big men walked to the back of the stage, and pulled the huge curtain on the stage, and the curtain slowly fell, but behind them were seven or eight young children, both men and women, just in a state of exhaustion, with a frightened look in their eyes.
Roddy sighed in his heart, knowing that this was a slave trader.
The slavery system of the Bright Empire has always existed, as early as the reign of Abbasid the Great, the four sides of the war, sweeping away all the ethnic groups and forces on the continent, after the war, there are always captives, these people can not be released, it is a pity to kill, they all become slaves.
Although Danton had proposed the abolition of slavery, the system had brought many benefits to the empire at the time, so the Abbasid Emperor rejected Danton's request.
At this time, although two hundred years have passed, there are still wars on the borders of the empire from time to time, with Otsuki in the west, Roland Continent in the north, and even in the south, there are some scattered barbarian tribes.
In addition, the slave trade also increased the financial revenue of the empire, so successive emperors did not abolish this barbaric and inhuman system.
Roddy couldn't get used to this kind of thing, but after all, he couldn't control it, so he frowned and wanted to pull Qiaoqiao away.
It was the first time Jojo had seen the slave trade.
She had never been out of the imperial capital, and although there was a slave trade in the imperial capital, there were several slaves in her own family.
But her status is noble, but she has never been to the scene to watch this kind of thing.
At this moment, she looked at the few young children on the stage, looking at their pitiful appearance, and felt sympathy in her heart, but she refused to leave anything. a183ss4509291 Everyone smashed the votes in the list:
