Chapter One Hundred and Five The journey was safe and sound, and Luo Di and his party finally arrived at the southeast Heavy Purple Leaf City.
Purple Leaf City is located in the southeast of the empire and is the capital of the southeastern province of Ciel.
The city can accommodate a population of more than one million and is the largest city in the southeast.
The city was built 200 years ago in the era of Abbasid the Great, and was built by the Abbasid Emperor after conquering the south in all directions, in order to maintain the stability of the south.
The walls are dozens of miles long, and the walls are tall and sturdy, even in the shortest places, they are fifteen meters high.
The width of the city walls is also almost comparable to that of the imperial capital, and it can accommodate four horses walking side by side.
Under the city walls, a moat several meters deep was dug to attract the water of the Purple Leaf River, which moved the city.
Because this city was used as the first military fortress in the southeast back then, the military facilities on the city wall are very complete, and all kinds of ordnance, grain and grass in Purple Leaf City are also well stocked, and the food alone is enough for 100,000 troops for three years After more than 200 years of operation, because it is located on the bank of the Ziye River, the water transportation is developed, and it is the capital of the province of Xier, so the commercial trade is also very prosperous.
After two hundred years of peace and prosperity, it has developed into the largest city in the south of the empire, and in the empire, it is called the "southern capital".
Long before Luo Di arrived, the governors of the three southeastern provinces had all gathered in Purple Leaf City.
Just waiting to welcome the envoy of the southeast, the Grand Governor sent by His Majesty the Emperor.
After all, he is His Majesty's envoy, not to mention that the other party is the Duke, the heir of the Tulip Family of the first family of the empire When the reward was received, the governors of the three places immediately brought a large number of people out of the city to greet them.
Luo Di and his party saw a large group of people standing under the city gate from a distance, and the honor guard on the side of the road was even more brightly dressed, so they were not angry Governor Schill stood in the middle, after all, he was the head of the magistrates here, and the other two governors of the foreign provinces stood on either side, smiling as they ran toward Roddy's carriage.
Without waiting for Roddy's guards to make a move, one of the governors opened the carriage door for Roddy himself, while the other rushed to help Roddy down.
When they saw Roddy, they were all stunned.
After all, they are located in the southern frontier of the empire, although when they received the order before, they also inquired about this duke, and they also knew that this duke had just inherited the title and was very young, but when they really met, they still couldn't help but be shocked.
I really didn't expect this Duke to be so young, and it seemed as if he was no more than twenty years old.
I was even more puzzled in my heart: Can such a young duke defeat the commander of the 100,000-strong army of the steppe alien race in the northwest, it doesn't look like it on the left Governor Schill, who was standing in the middle, was the most cunning and cunning, and when he saw this Duke so young, his heart relaxed greatly, and he couldn't help but think: A young man, no matter how powerful he is, is limited.
As long as you coax him well, then everything is easy The other two governors were sycophants, and the compliments that Roddy had already heard thousands of times such as "young and promising" and "promising" smashed over his head.
Fortunately, Luo Di has experienced a lot of this kind of scene at the moment, but he frowned casually, smiled lightly, and let them go.
Everyone blew and beat to welcome Luo Di directly into the city, all the way to see the lively people, all the way to see the lively people, all know that the famous Tulip Duke of the empire arrived, they all stretched their necks from a distance to watch, did not dare to approach, a little closer, were all some wolf-like soldiers whipped back.
Everyone dared to be angry but didn't dare to speak, just pointing at them from afar.
Roddy looked at it in his eyes and frowned secretly.
Glancing coldly at the Governor of Hill next to him, he saw that he was still smug with a smug smile on his face, and Roddy's gaze gradually became cold.
Entering the Governor's Palace, naturally someone led Luo Di's men to the side to rest, in the main hall of the Governor's Palace, there were already a large number of local gentry and celebrities waiting, Luo Di strode in, and the three governors next to him nodded and followed.
The local wealthy celebrities immediately gathered around like flies.
Luo Di cheered up, barely coping, and only smiled faintly when he heard the other party's sycophants.
Seeing that the wealthy and celebrities in these places are full of brains, greedy eyes, and respectful expressions, there are really few good people.
Everyone was noisy and shouting for a long time, and Roddy was bored in his heart, so he couldn't help but yawn.
The Governor of Schill's eyes lit up, captured Roddy's movement in his eyes, and immediately said loudly: "Lord Duke, all the way, must have been tired."
It's lunchtime, and I'm ready to enjoy it."
Then he clapped his hands, only to hear the two side doors of the main hall open at the same time, and two groups of young and charming women in bright clothes slowly walked in, each holding a tray in his hand, on which several silver plates, large or small, were placed.
A woman served a table, and when the plates were placed on the table, Roddy couldn't help but be stunned.
Watching these women rush in, serving all kinds of dishes from time to time, Luo Di couldn't help but feel a little eye-opener.
Seeing that there were dozens of large and small silver plates on the table in front of him, there were so many dishes of various colors, so strange and ingenious, all of which Luo Di had never heard of and seen These foods are obviously from the cuisine of the masters, the color, flavor and flavor are very pleasing to the eye, and the nose smells to arouse the appetite, and you can't help but make your appetite move.
Luo Di secretly marveled in his heart, there was a lot of food in it, even Luo Di, who had participated in the palace feast, had never seen it Seeing that the two sweaters with red upper bodies moved a huge wine bottle to the center of the main hall and put it down, and after a closer look, the wine bottle was actually pure gold, and then a stunning woman in a short dress walked into the main hall.
I saw that she was about twenty years old at most, and under that short shirt, a pair of arms and legs were exposed, revealing her toned and fair skin.
The top is even shorter, revealing a small waist.
A pair of eyes with eyebrows fluttering, flashing gaze, extremely seductive.
She came with a pair of pink and beautiful jade feet, and a small golden bell tied to her feet, jingling all the way.
She slowly walked to the pure gin bottle, picked up a golden cup and gently put it into the wine bottle to fill a glass of wine, then gently moved to Roddy's table, slowly knelt down and held the golden cup in her hand, and called in a coquettish voice: "Lord Duke, please drink" Luo Di looked at the beautiful woman in front of him, and couldn't help but glance at the Governor of Xile next to him, and said lightly: "You have put a lot of thought into it, Lord Governor." ” The Governor of Xi'er looked pale, nodded again and again, and smiled: "Don't dare, Lord Duke, this is a famous beauty in our Purple Leaf City, ordinary people can't see each other if they want to, and today I also heard that Duke Tulip has arrived, so I invited her to serve your lord and drink." ” Luo Di 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 a special envoy.
I won't say any kind words, I just hope that the celebrities in all places can help you greatly, and everyone can do something well, so that I can repay Your Majesty. ” After some applause, everyone raised their glasses, and then everyone drank it all.
Governor Schill smiled and his eyes sparkled, and then he whispered a few more words to one of his servants.
The servant immediately trotted out through the side door.
After a while, only a crisp sound of the piano was heard, and then the side door slowly opened, and a small rolling platform was slowly pushed in, on which sat a young woman, dressed in white, with a harp more than one person high in front of her.

A pair of slender jade hands, ten fingers fluctuating, lightly buttoning the silver filigree, the harp immediately emitted beautiful music.
There was a slight sound of footsteps, and from behind the side doors on both sides, more than two dozen young women entered, all of them gorgeous and charming.
These women slowly walked to the side of the many nobles, sat down gently, whispered softly, some handed the cup of wine, and some gently entered their arms.
For a while, Luo Di was almost stunned, he really didn't expect that in this dignified Imperial Governor's Palace, on the hall where officials handle official business, this kind of thing would actually be encountered, which is no different from the "ecstasy cave" in the imperial capital.
Just when he was shocked, the woman in red also slowly sat down next to Luo Di, smiled lightly, and a soft and fragrant body snuggled up.
The Governor of Hill had a smug face, and he hugged a woman in his arms, and secretly smug in his heart: "Fortunately, after I learned of His Majesty's order, I sent someone to inquire about the preferences of this Duke, but fortunately, I heard that he is also a drunken and happy person, and my preparation must have made him very satisfied."
Just when Roddy was a little dazed and didn't react, a guard outside the main hall shouted: "Master Camus Legion has arrived."
Luo Di immediately came to his senses, and pushed away the woman in red beside him without moving.
With the clatter of Huo Huo's leather boots, an old officer wearing the uniform of a senior commander of the empire strode into the main hall.
He looked to be in his fifties, tall and powerful, with broad shoulders.
Although he has silver hair, his waist is straight.
The Camus legion strode into the main hall, surrounded by people who were drinking and having fun, looking at him with a bit of strangeness and humility in their eyes.
Camus's eyes were indifferent, he glanced around, and suddenly a strange look appeared in his eyes, strode to the middle, raised his leg and kicked the pure gold wine bottle over, and suddenly the main hall was filled with the smell of wine.
With everyone's exclamation, Camus stood in front of Roddy, looked at Roddy with eye level, and said with a big grin: "Camus, the commander of the Southern Army, has seen the Duke." ”:
