Friendly recommendation starting point professional writer jokes big latest masterpiece Thousand Faces, you might as well go and see it ` Chapter Ninety-Eight The Tulip Duke's Mansion has long been crowded, and there are many luxurious carriages parked outside the mansion, and all kinds of heads and faces in the imperial capital seem to have come to the Duke's Palace, which has not appeared here for many years since the death of the old duke.
When Roddy and his entourage came from afar from the streets, they immediately attracted a large crowd.
It was easy for the entourage to separate the crowd, and Roddy entered the Duke's mansion with difficulty.
Nicole was already standing in the doorway with an excited face, looking at Roddy from afar.
Roddy jumped off the horse and walked in front of Nicole in a few steps, looking at Nicole's emaciated face with a pair of silent thoughts in his eyes, and really wanted to hold Nicole in his arms immediately.
Roddy took a deep breath, seeing many people next to him, he barely suppressed the agitation in his heart, after all, Nicole is still his "own sister" now.
You can't do it too far. smiled and shouted "sister", and then gently hugged each other with the interests of the nobles, but when hugging, he secretly said in Nicole's ear: "I miss you."
Nicole took a step back with a blushing face, and then said, "Go in quickly, many people are waiting for you."
Walking into the hall, there were many dignitaries and dignitaries immediately around, congratulations were naturally a lot, and there were not a few people who won over the relationship, and there were a few people, who simply came to the door to be a matchmaker Who in the entire imperial capital did not know that this young young master inherited the title of duke, and won the battle in the northwest, plus the tulip family is such a golden signboard, the future is infinitely bright Roddy barely bred up to deal with almost, an impatient look flashed in his eyes, and he looked at Nicole for help, these people were really troublesome.
According to Roddy's idea, I really want to kick all these people out one by one, of course, just leave Nicole alone.
After all, Nicole is an experienced aristocratic lady, and she is not in a hurry to deal with everyone's sycophants, and finally smiled faintly: "Everyone, originally, we were very moved by everyone's enthusiasm, but it was too hard for Seth to travel all the way."
His Majesty will also hold a feast tonight, and Seth has just returned, and he needs to rest and prepare. ” These people are all people who understand, and they immediately quit one after another.
Before leaving, several people took Luo Di's hand, said a few touching words, squeezed out a few tears, and then reluctantly left.
Seeing that there were only two Roddy Nicole left in the hall, Roddy cleared his throat and whispered, "I have something to say to you, sister." ” Nicole nodded, "Let's go to the study." ” The two of them walked into the study with the servants beside them, Nicole walked in first, turned around and said slowly: "Roddy, I already know about your affairs in Xilin, you are too impatient to deal with those things."
Roddy had already strode behind, turned around and closed the study door first, then ignored what Nicole was saying, stepped forward and reached out to put his arms around Nicole's waist, and then pressed down against Nicole's delicate red lips.
Nicole couldn't catch off guard, and was forcibly held in her arms by Roddy, closed her eyes in panic, only to feel that the other party's lips were like fire, and her face felt Roddy's rapid breath spraying on her cheeks, and a strange taste was born in her heart.
I don't know how long it took, Nicole only felt that all the strength in her body seemed to be sucked out by this kiss, and the whole person was fluttering, and when Roddy slowly raised her head and stared at her, Nicole slowly came back to her senses, her face was crimson, and she whispered: "You, you are really getting bolder and bolder" Luo Di also blushed, and then said softly: "Be bold, be bold."
Just as she was about to go down again to taste the delicate flush, Nicole's face turned red and she gently dodged away.
I only heard her small voice say, "Okay, don't be careful of others seeing." ” Roddy sighed and slowly let go of Nicole.
After thinking about it, he immediately asked: "It's been so long since Seth had news, have your people found him?"
Nicole's face darkened, she shook her head slowly, and sighed: "The person I sent chased at sea for several months, but found nothing, so the bastard doesn't know where to go."
Luo Di frowned: "Then what should I do, do I still want to continue to be your brother, I really don't want to be your brother anymore" Nicole smiled reluctantly: "It's not good to be a duke, what a scene" Luo Di sighed: "The scenery is in the northwest This time, I have seen too many things.
I don't know how many people's blood was piled up, I really don't have much interest in these things.
He looked into Nicole's eyes and whispered, "I just want to be Roddy, put aside this identity, and be with you."
Now that I'm your brother, what can we do?"
Seeing that Roddy's tone was excited, Nicole gently pulled Roddy's hand and said softly: "Roddy, bear with it a little longer, okay?"
Luo Di said lightly: "The scenery is infinitely beautiful, but I don't know how many murderous intentions are hidden in it, and how much dirt I am really tired of."
Nicole, I even wanted to take you out of here."
Nicole stared at Roddy for a long time, and slowly shook her head weakly: "No."
Roddy, it really doesn't work.
I have the responsibility of the family, and now I have no one but to rely on you.
At this, two lines of tears flowed from her eyes, and she cried with her hands on her face.
Roddy felt a pain in his heart and went up to hug her gently.
Nicole in her arms trembled in a low voice: "I also want to be able to relax, I also want to be carefree with you, but it really can't." ” Roddy smiled lightly, stretched out his fingers to wipe away the tears on Nicole's face, and whispered, "Okay, it's not right."
It's good to come back and make you sad again.
Don't worry, with me Roddy, the tulip family won't fall."
He was holding the beautiful woman in his arms, although he was helpless in his heart, how could he say it Inadvertently, the slender figure in a black robe flashed in his mind, and the sentence sounded: You don't forget me, I don't forget you.
I remembered that I had an impulse that day, and I almost left some and went with her, and I couldn't help but be stupid.
The two gathered their minds and discussed the affairs of Xilin Province.
Luo Di opened a killing spree in Xilin this time, although he returned to the imperial capital at this moment, but he left more than 2,000 wolf tooth troops to sweep the entire Xilin, and carefully cleaned up the imperial official system in Xilin.
These days, in the big and small towns of Xilin, there are really a lot of people on the guillotine.
Although the people were jubilant, there were many people who were offended Nicole was worried, although Xilin was the fief of the Tulip family, and the military, government, taxation and army were nominally all Tulip family's, and within the empire, it was like a small independent kingdom.
But after all, those officials are still officials of the empire.
I am afraid it is not a good thing to make such a big deal at once, and kill so many people without waiting for His Majesty the Emperor to speak.
Roddy was very stable in his heart.

This time, Abbasid XI did not reward himself heavily, which has made the military very dissatisfied, even in the imperial capital, there will be quite a lot of complaints.
I will definitely not hold myself accountable for that thing anymore.
Besides, in the final analysis, Xilin is the fiefdom of the Tulip family after all, and no matter how much trouble you make, it is just your own house cleaning. killed a few people, but it was not enough for the emperor to pursue it.
Now the emperor is about to pretend to be eager for himself, so as to appease the hearts of those military generals, which can be seen from the fact that the emperor did not say a word about Xilin in the main hall today.
In the evening, at the celebration dinner in the palace hall, Abbasid XI really made an unusually affectionate appearance for Roddy.
The noble ministers of the empire all toasted to Roddy.
I don't know how many times I have said something like "young and promising".
In the end, he was affectionately held by the Abbasids and walked outside the hall to receive the cheers of all the soldiers.
Luo Di began to think in his heart: "It's just an undefeated result in the northwest, and the formation created by this seems to have swept away the mainland."
It's too contrived, but later, after being poured countless glasses of wine by several generals of the military, I finally got drunk in a daze.
The next morning, while Roddy was still asleep at home, the Royal Guard had already come to ask Roddy to enter the palace immediately.
It is only said that His Majesty is anxious, and the cabinet ministers are discussing important matters.
Luo Di's mind was dizzy, and he scolded the emperor in his heart for not being a thing.
I'm just an empty duke now, I don't have any power in my hands, and I don't have an army, so I'm going to talk to myself about a fart anyway, the emperor and that old guy Caroline are discussing everything now.
Who else will you show as if you were making a discussion?
Although he was slandered in his heart, he immediately dressed up on the surface.
It was still the beautiful little maid Angel who served him, but now Roddy was no longer the stupid boy who didn't move, and he was not so flustered when he saw Angel, and waited for Angel to help him dress up the duke's aristocratic service with a grim face, just smiled at her and nodded.
An Qi's face turned red, but he said in a low voice: "Young master, no, master, you are very different from the beginning."
"What," Rodic said.
Angel lowered her head: "You seem to have become much more serious and indifferent. ” Roddy nodded, didn't say anything, but thought in his heart: "Jojo said so, you said so too."
I'll have to be careful if that Seth is really a slick person, don't let people see through it. ” He prepared a carriage and brought a few guards.
Seeing that the guards at home look at themselves with a very different gaze than before.
No longer as respectful as before, but in fact they looked indifferent, and now these guards, from their personal guard Rand to the others, were full of respect for themselves.
Well, didn't those old guys in the military last night also say that they are becoming more and more like the old duke, although this is a compliment to themselves, but how can they feel so awkward when they listen to it After getting into the carriage and opening the way in front of the Royal Guard, Roddy made his way to a side hall behind the palace hall.
Abbasid XI and several cabinet ministers were already sitting there.
Seeing Roddy striding in, Abbasid XI had a gentle face and said loudly: "Duke Rudolph, you don't need to give a salute, I came to ask you about the Roland Continent." ” Then the emperor looked at the old guy from Caroline, and the Imperial Minister of War cleared his throat and said in a deep voice: "Lord Duke, when you didn't come back earlier, Your Majesty received your battle report, saying that the army of the Roland Continent had been discovered in the Great Moon Kingdom.
There are people from the Roland Continent who are secretly helping Rogenthal to oppose us, after all, you know this matter best, so Your Majesty invites you to come and talk about it yourself. ” Luo Di thought about it, and then talked about the matter of being intercepted by the Roland knight on the grassland in detail, of course, he once caught the other party's black gauze sage naturally did not mention a word, just said that he caught the news of one of the other party's knights in the fierce battle.
As for Miaosi's matter, although he once took her back to Watt Fortress, it was only for a day, and then he sent her away, and no one knew her identity.
Although there was such a big commotion that day, fortunately, there were a lot of ridiculous things that Seth did in the past, and there was no need to explain it.
Although it is a violation of military law to fight on the front line and provoke women.
But now that he is in the limelight, I don't think anyone dares to touch his own head in this matter so openly Luo Di slowly finished speaking, Abbasid XI showed an angry expression on his face, and said coldly: "The people of the Roland Continent are not small, I don't pay attention to them, they actually dare to provoke me, you see what to do."
It was still the Marquis of Caroline who was the first to stand up and said loudly: "Your Majesty, since the people of the Roland Continent dare to offend the empire, they naturally have to teach a good lesson, I think it is enough to let General Miro of the Northern Army mobilize his troops a little and give the other party a little warning."
We're in the northwest now, and it's really hard to have more branches."
Abbasid XI frowned slightly, and said coldly: "Is it just that we are facing each other across the sea from the Roland Continent, and if we mobilize troops here, they can really be warned, they regard our Empire of Light as infidels, but in our eyes, why don't we see them as infidels?"
Caroline smiled slightly: "In this case, I think it is better to ask His Majesty the Pope to come and discuss together, if there is a war with the Roland Kingdom, it will not only be a matter of the Empire."
The crusade against the infidels, presumably His Majesty the Pope will definitely support it vigorously Since it is a holy war against the infidels, His Majesty the Pope's Flame Warrior Regiment, naturally, cannot be bystanding."
Hearing the "holy war", everyone frowned, and there was a responsible look in their eyes, and even Abbasid XI showed a contemplative look on his face.
"Jihad" The Bright Empire and the Roland Continent in the north have been endowed with the aura of a great "holy war" of "crusading against heretics" for hundreds of years.
It's just that under this aura, I don't know how many heads have piled up.
Which holy war was not a huge momentum, with rivers of blood flowing and tens of millions of people dying on the battlefield and hundreds of people displaced.
The two continents were exhausted, and then no one could help anyone.
The Flame Warrior Order of the Bright Continent is certainly amazingly powerful, but the Holy Knights of the Guardian Temple of the Roland Continent are not weak Fighting another "holy war" will mobilize the strength of the entire empire to invest, such an earth-shattering war, whether the current situation of the empire can afford it is still two words, not to mention that at this moment, there is still a steppe wolf in the northwest that is eyeing Rochenthal Sure enough, Abbasid XI thought for a moment, sighed, and said, "After all, a great war consumes too much national strength, and it is not yet the time for a holy war." ” Marquis Caroline smiled slightly, and said: "Since Your Majesty also thinks that it is not the right time to declare war at this time, then I think it is better to find an important minister of the empire, and then ask the Pope to send an envoy to accompany the kingdom of Sauron, ask them for justice, and reprimand them, and let General Miró's northern army move a little to intimidate the other party on the northern border, presumably the kingdom of Sauron will not dare to turn its face as long as they are willing to bow their heads."
You can keep the dignity of the empire."
Abbasid XI hung his head in thought and frowned.
Seeing the emperor's appearance, Luo Di felt some sympathy for the supreme of the empire in his heart.

I think that when the Abbasid Emperor founded the Bright Dynasty, the empire owned the entire continent, and the majesty of the soldiers and horses was now in the hands of this emperor.
After all, it was impossible to erase the face, and Abbasid XI did not immediately decide what his attitude towards the Roland Continent was, but only said that this matter would be discussed by the cabinet later.
Then the topic turned to the matter of this peace talk with the Great Moon Kingdom.
The main person in charge of this peace negotiation with the other party was the Count Mero, the finance minister of the empire, a slender and handsome middle-aged man, with a three-point smile on his face from time to time, but the shrewdness that flashed in his eyes from time to time and the three-point cunning gaze made people feel a little uncomfortable.
Abbasid XI tried a few more words, then told Roddy a few more words, and then announced that the people had dispersed.
When he walked out of the palace hall, Luo Di followed Count Mero in a few steps, and said with a straight face: "Lord Mero, the peace talks of the Great Moon Kingdom, Your Majesty asked me to assist you, you understand, I am young and I don't understand this negotiation very well, I don't know if you have any ideas in your heart." ” Count Mero smiled slightly: "Lord Duke Rudolph, you are too modest about this.
Although Your Majesty asked me to be the chief envoy of the negotiations, who doesn't know that your exploits in the northwest say that you assisted me, but in fact, this negotiation is still dominated by you, and I will assist on the side.
Without you, I wouldn't be able to stop those steppe savages. ” Luo Di laughed dryly twice, and scolded in his heart: "Old slippery head" A sly smile flashed on Count Mero's face: "Lord Duke, you and my son Didi are good friends, I rely on the old and sell the old, you might as well be lazy, this time, you have to make a lot of efforts Now there is nothing to do anyway, why don't we find a place to talk, and then in the evening, let's go and meet His Royal Highness the Prince from the Great Moon Kingdom, how about" Roddy thought about it, agreed, and then went out of the palace and got into Count Mero's carriage, letting the tulip family's carriage go back on its own, and his guards rode behind. ` Update the list, please smash if you have a ticket:
