Qiang Seeing Ruhl's horizontal knife on his neck, Adric suddenly changed color, quickly drew his matching sword, and flew over, the cold light on the blade flashed, hitting Ruhl's blade, swinging the blade away.
Only this time it was still a little slower, and the blade still cut a hole in Ruhl's neck.
Although the knife was not deep, the blood had already flowed out.
Seeing the knife in Ruhl's hand come out of his hand and fall to the ground, blood already flowing down Rul's neck on his shirt.
The two men glared at each other, and finally, Adric took a deep breath and sighed, "I'm sorry, I think you must be disappointed in me." ” Ruhl smiled bitterly, looked at the sword in Adric's hand, and said in a low voice: "Disappointed you stubborn fool, if you are just stubborn, you are obviously killing yourself." ” Adric's face was ugly: "Then what do you think, what can I do?"
Ruhl looked at Adric's face and was silent for a long time, and finally, his eyes gradually became more resolute and resolute, and he slowly said a word.
"Soldiers' Admonitions" "Father."
When Roddy entered the study, he saw his father standing by the map hanging on the wall in contemplation, and he first shouted, but the old duke did not seem to hear, and still looked at the huge map on the wall.
After a while, Roddy finally couldn't bear the surname anymore and whispered again.
Roddy's face was a little dissatisfied, but more of an indescribable complication.
As the heir of the Minas family, although he has a lot of dissatisfaction with his father's actions, over the years, the estrangement between father and son has become deeper and deeper, but after all, as a son of man, he is still the one who knows his father's every move He was well aware of his father's recent actions, the unusual taste of which he tasted: "I remember telling you many times.
The Duke of Minas turned around slowly and looked at his son with a calm face: "Come into my study and knock on the door." ” "Yes, father."
Luo Di took a deep breath, his eyes were complicated, he looked at the white-haired old duke, he wanted to stop talking, but he finally chose to suppress those thoughts in his heart, and said slowly: "Marquis Banks, and Count Bilik, they are here, and they are asking to see you in the living room."
"Let them wait."
Duke Minas smiled faintly: "Wait a little longer, you won't be able to die."
Sit down, I have something to say to you. ” Roddy hesitated for a moment, and slowly sat down on a chair in the room.
The Duke of Minas looked at his son's face, and his son's appearance was very similar to his own, and the contours of his eyebrows, eyes, and nose were almost carved out of his own mold.
I remember that when I was young, I used to be like him, the surname was resolute, and I would not easily change my position when I recognized the things, stubborn, persistent, and enthusiastic, and I was also full of those unrealistic ideals, it should be said that it was utopian.
Because Minas knew that his son was very much like him, he also knew that it would not be easy to convince his son.
"You've been upset with me lately."
The old man slowly sat down in front of Roddy.
Roddy didn't speak, just lowered his eyelids.
"You're not happy about sending Daphany back to the palace.
And since my comeback, my attitude towards Adric has also made you unhappy.
I contacted those nobles, and you didn't agree with it, and" "My son doesn't dare."
"You don't dare."
Duke Minas suddenly smiled, his smile was a little mocking: "You just feel that you can't communicate with me anymore, so you're too lazy to continue arguing with me, aren't you?"
Looking at his son who didn't speak, Duke Minas sighed and said in a low voice: "I know you look down on those nobles, hmph, the Marquis of Banks is just a fool with a fat brain and can only talk about it, Bilik, a thing that tends to be inflammatory, and those other people, they are all short-sighted and stupid, but pretentious guys, you look down on them, do you think that the existence of these guys will only have a bad impact on the empire, and their existence is the more fundamental reason why this empire is becoming more and more corrupt, right?"
Without waiting for Roddy to speak, the Duke of Minas suddenly smiled again and said lightly: "Actually, from the bottom of my heart, I completely agree with your opinion, those guys are simply a group of fools, a group of vampires who are attached to the empire and suck the blood of the empire, a group of greedy rice worms, rats." ” Luo Di was stunned, he raised his head and looked at the old man in surprise: "Father, you, you think so too, that" "You want to ask why, don't you?"
the Duke of Minas squinted at his son, "You look down on these guys, you think they are a group of nobles who have more than enough to do."
But you've forgotten who you are, and you're a nobleman yourself."
The Duke of Minas raised his hand, pointed his finger at Roddy, and his fingertips almost poked into Roddy's chest, and said coldly: "You yourself are also a nobleman" Roddy stopped talking.
"I don't expect you to understand all my intentions and painstaking intentions now, in fact, I don't expect you to understand all my methods now."
Minas said lightly: "When I was your age, my mind was also full of unrealistic fantasies, so I know that no words can move you now, and no words can reverse the obsessions in your current mind.
I don't want to convince you at all. ” Luo Di looked at his father, and suddenly felt an impulse in his heart, and couldn't help but blurt out: "But father, you, what do you want to do?"
"Everything I want to do, everything I do, is to save the country."
The Duke of Minas let out a long sigh.
"Save this country" Luo Di suddenly became angry, and he asked loudly: "Everywhere to restrain Adric's Northern Expedition plan, the military department and him everywhere to provoke the relationship between the emperor and the prime minister, secretly contact the nobles to expand the private army, don't you understand, it is precisely because you instigated the nobles to expand the private army, more and more military expenses make their leaders in the south endlessly forcibly expropriated, and finally force the civilians in the south to not survive, rise up to rebel against their father, this is what you call saving the country" The Duke of Minas glanced at his son, with some disappointment in his eyes: "So I said, I don't expect you to understand all this now.
After a pause, the old duke finally added: "The problems of the south are not caused by a single moment, the years of harsh taxes, heavy burdens, and one war after another are not my doing."
Roddy was speechless.
"I said, you won't understand now, and I don't expect you to understand now."
The Duke of Minas had already stood up and said lightly: "I just want to tell you that you remember your own identity, you are a member of the Minas family, and you are also a nobleman. ” Roddy was silent.
"I will soon lead the troops south, you make preparations, you will accompany the army and me to the south.
You have been the commander of the city guard for nearly a month, but you have disappointed me, you have not been able to subdue any powerful subordinates in a month, you look at Adric's eyes, you have not been able to really grasp even a little strength in the city guard.
You really disappointed me.

Before I set out on the expedition, I will ask Your Majesty to remove you from the post of General of the City Guard, well, this is also a compromise and exchange, to appease the suspicious heart of our Majesty. ” Speaking of the southern expedition, Luo Di finally broke the silence: "You really want to lead the troops to the southern expedition" In any case, the situation in the south is rotten, and if you lead the troops south to calm the chaos, it will be a matter of interest to the country.
Luo Di felt a little comforted in his heart, but he couldn't help but say: "Your Majesty, will he agree, I mean, let you lead the troops south" "I can't help but disagree."
Duke Minas said slowly, "He has no other candidates.
Adric can't get the emperor's trust, and the other guy Ruel is already a thorn in the emperor's heart, the emperor won't choose him, and Ruel has already stood with Adric.
Hmph, no one but me can calm the chaos in the South.
Whether the emperor is willing or unwilling, he has only one choice.
Things will be decided in two or three days, and I just hope you're ready.
You have let me down many times, and this time, I hope you don't let me down again.
I am ready to take you as the vanguard.
Hmph, you don't like my series of actions in Yanjing, so you are willing to work hard to go south to quell the bandits. ” "It's my duty to do it."
Luo Diteng stood up, his young and majestic body straight.
"Very good, I have prepared the plan to send troops.
I'll give you two thousand cavalry, those mud legs in the south are just a rabble, and two thousand elite horsemen are going south, and they can't stop you in the field.
Your mission is to drive as fast as you can to Everenwetter, the heart of the rebellion.
In my judgment, once our army moves south, the rebels will shrink, and although most of them are mud-legged, there are also some smart people among them.
They are well aware of the strength of the regular army of the Empire, and they have no cavalry to fight us, so they will only choose to gather and shrink their forces and defend the city.
But that's not something you need to think about, I just need you to sweep through the Effenvet army with two thousand vanguard cavalry, purge the small stragglers who dare to resist, and force them to shrink their forces. ” "I won't let you down" Roddy's eyes lit up.
The Duke of Minas looked at his son and sighed secretly in his heart: He is still a simple young man approaching.
Roddy was about to go out excitedly, but suddenly turned around and came back and looked at his father: "Father, the Marquis of Banks, they are still waiting to see you" "I said, let them wait a little longer."
The Duke of Minas slowly walked back to his desk, took out a wine bottle from the cabinet below, poured himself a glass of wine, took a sip lightly, and then sneered: "There are those who have icing on the cake, and those who send carbon in the snow have not."
When I was dormant in Minas, how could these people come to me in such a hurry to come to me Now that the south is in turmoil, their territory is in the south, so they hurriedly ran to hug my thigh, hmph, how can it be so easy.
My trip to the south is to use their strength, not to let them dry properly, how to make them bleed willingly" "Soldiers' Admonitions" This voice fell into his ears, and it was like an earth-shattering shock, and Adric's face changed wildly, and he was furious, and shouted: "Nonsense" Ruhl didn't seem to hear Adric's angry reprimand, and said quickly: "Although the Duke of Minas persecuted him very much, after all, the military power is still directly in your hands, and most of the defenders in the city are your descendants.
As long as you give an order, martial law will be carried out in the city, the city gates will be closed, and the communication between inside and outside the city will be severed, and then the dead soldiers of the army will be summoned to the credible subordinates, not much, as long as there are two or three thousand people, immediately besiege the palace, besiege but not attack, and immediately search the whole city, immediately arrest the Duke of Minas, and then put the duke under house arrest in a certain place, purge the restless Xiaoxiao in the city, and deter the ministers, and force Your Majesty to cut off all the official titles of the Duke and entrust you with full authority in this way, as long as we do it quickly, Act decisively, and the time will be met within a day."
"Shut up, shut up" Adric's eyes widened angrily, glaring at Ruhl and roaring angrily: "You are so bold, you dare to say such a rebellious nonsense, don't shut up quickly" Ruhl looked calm, looked at Adric, and waited for Adric's roar to finish, before he said coldly: "Why are you so excited, or do you have such a strong reaction when I say that my words are the most fearful thoughts in your heart?"
Adrick was speechless.
"If you expect to convince the Emperor with words, I am afraid that even if you Adric weeps blood, the Emperor will not look at you more.
Hmph, the only way to force this majesty to make concessions is " "I will definitely not do such a rebellious thing, you don't need to say it again" Adric rebuked categorically, "Ruhl, I didn't think I heard what I said just now, and I don't want to hear it from your mouth a second time" "Okay, if you don't want to do this, then I still have a plan" Ruhl said slowly: "The matter of going south to quell the rebellion must not be delayed, but you must not let the Duke of Minas lead the army, since you refuse to march and admonish, then immediately go to the army to reorganize the army, that is, to lead the troops out of the city to the south to quell the rebellion, the emperor will be furious when he learns that you have no orders from him and will march south, but you are in the army, and the army is your descendant, and he can't do anything about you, and it is impossible to send someone to the army to arrest you back."
When the time comes, it will be nothing more than an order to summon you back, let's ignore it, once the army goes south, causing a fait accompli, he will be helpless against you. ” "In this way, wouldn't it be a blatant contradiction, that is, the force of the rupture must be unstable" Adric said coldly: "I forcibly led the troops south, disobeyed the order, are the rebels in the north all fools, we have civil strife here, they must have taken the opportunity to enter, the Duke of Minas has unpredictable intentions, our army goes south, isn't it equivalent to abandoning His Majesty the Emperor in the city of Osgilia, what kind of intentions do you have?"
Ruhl sneered a few times: "This can't be done, that's not okay, Adric, you are brave and resolute in marching and fighting, why are you indecisive now, do you really want to sit back and wait for death?"
Adric took a deep breath: "I will never do anything that is rebellious. ” "Hmph, then you will watch the Duke of Minas divide his troops to the south, after going south, with his old man's wrist and decades of prestige and qualifications, the army going south will inevitably be firmly controlled by him, he has 10,000 ways to eliminate all the disobedient voices inside, within a month, the army going south will be purged by him up and down, firmly in his own hands, when the time comes, the southern counties, are all the world of his Duke Minas, the sky is high and the birds fly, the sea is wide and you and I are all from the Duke's door, we are very clear about the Duke's military strategy, with his ability, it is not a problem at all to defeat those bandits in the south.
I'm afraid that he is using the excuse of pacifying the bandits, clearing the place, and then annexing them one by one, and at that time, his old man happily eats and wipes the southern counties, and you, Adric, you fool who is dedicated to the country, but stupidly defend Osgillia for him, resist the rebels in the north, and have you sit in Osgillia and resist the rebels of Hughes and others in the north for him, which is equivalent to shielding him from the threat behind him.
Once the Duke of Minas has mastered the military power to go south, he has tens of thousands of obedient troops in his hands, and he is entrenched in several counties in the south, when the time comes, who else will be able to control him" Adric didn't speak.
Ruhl stared into his eyes and continued: "You think about it carefully, although it seems that there are more than 100,000 troops in the city, but in addition to our central army, the other more than 100,000 people are all transferred from the south, once the Duke of Minas goes south and controls the southern counties, when the time comes, he will pacify the bandits in the south, and find a few excuses at will, if he stays in the south and does not come back, who can command him, and he controls the south, it is equivalent to mastering the life of those southern troops in Yanjing, as long as he does some means in the south, In addition to the Central Army in Yanjing, the other southern armies will fall to him When the time comes, once the Duke of Minas has become a wing, who else can fight against him Adric, although you can still fight with him now, and even the situation is slightly advantageous, but once he takes the south, the army drawn from the south of Yanjing will depend on his face At that time, how do you fight him again, with the little Central Army in your hand, you know the consequences?"
Adric's body shook and fell into a deathly silence.''
