In the wee hours of the morning, a heavy rain fell on the sky of Osgiria, and the dense raindrops washed the city wantonly, as if taking away the last trace of warmth, and everywhere was damp and cold.
The guards defending the city, their armor shiny from the rain, the soldiers stood in the rain, letting the rain flow down their necks into their close-fitting clothes, and the spears in their hands were slippery because of the rain.
On the triumphal arch, the Imperial Eagle Banner was still flying, but the dark clouds in the sky seemed to be getting lower and lower, almost obliterating the Eagle Banner in that chaos.
This rain seems to have brought a slaughter Near the port area in the south of the city, at a remote intersection, the door of a tavern is ajar.
The tavern's sign was rusty, swaying back and forth in the rain and cold wind, not creaking.
In the past, in the bustling port area, in the taverns and forests, the merchant ships brought sailors from all over the world, and the athletes who were accustomed to fighting in the waves were very willing to enjoy the taste of alcohol and women when they went ashore.
Merchant, mercenaries from all over the world, sailors, travelers, and travelers, with all sorts of accents and languages, would fill the harbor district, and laughter, singing, and the screams of women and the fighting of drunkards could be heard in every tavern.
But now, the prosperity of the past has long been gone, almost all the taverns in the port area have been closed, only the scattered two or three are still barely open, this is still a few days ago, with the Lantis people transported a large number of materials, including a lot of trafficked wine, and then Yanjing canceled the prohibition of alcohol.
But even so, the port area is still so deserted, and only occasionally a few city guards guarding the docks in the port area will go into the tavern for a few drinks when the changing of the guard is on vacation.
This is exactly what the most prosperous port of the once largest city on the mainland looks like today: dilapidated and deserted.
In this tavern, the owner behind the counter was already lying in a coma there, with a glass of leftover wine next to him.
The more than a dozen tables in the tavern were empty, only in the corner, a figure sat there alone, the barrel of ale on the table was halfway down, and a roast leg of lamb in front of him did not move, it was already cold, the fat was solidified there, a disgusting fat feeling.
The guests who sat there still poured ale into their mouths cup by glass, and he drank so much that he poured most of the glass with every lift of his hand.
From behind, this man was extremely burly, with short hair, and the sleeves of his arms were rolled up like steel needles, revealing his thick and strong arms, but the arms were full of shocking scars The remaining half barrel of wine quickly entered his stomach, and the drinker patted the table and drank in a deep voice: "Bring another barrel" There was the sound of footsteps behind him, and then a hand reached out from behind him, and gently placed a barrel on the table, and then, immediately the owner of the hand, slowly turned to the table, and sat down in front of the guest.
The guest raised his eyelids and glanced at the person in front of him, as if frowning slightly: "You" "It's me."
As he spoke, the barrel had been opened, and the man took the glass and scooped it out, first took a big sip of his own mouth, breathed a sigh of relief, and then scooped out another glass and put it in front of the guest.
The guest sneered: "The dignified Imperial General poured me wine, shouldn't I be very moved?"
The expression on Ruhl's face was calm, and he just looked at the drinker and didn't speak.
The guest picked up the cup in front of him, poured it into his mouth in one gulp, then wiped his mouth vigorously and raised his eyebrows: "Say, come here to find me, what's the matter." ” "I remember, you owe me a favor."
Ruhl looked into the other's eyes.
After being silent for a moment, the man finally nodded slowly: "Yes, that kid's matter is indeed your favor, and I do owe you a favor." ” "Now, I'm here to ask you for this favor."
Ruhl's eyes were sharp, staring into the other's eyes.
This person faced Ruhl's sharp eyes as sharp as a knife, but he seemed to ignore it, his expression was still so cold and indifferent, and even the corners of his mouth raised a disdainful smile: "Very good, what do you need to kill or" "Dealing with a person, a master, a very powerful master."
Ruhl exhaled slowly, and his voice was solemn and solemn: "There is no one around me who can do this, only to look for you." ” The face of the "master" became more and more disdainful: "Samurai or magician" "A samurai in Osgilia."
Ruhl's answer was very succinct, but the next sentence finally moved the other party: "The strong." ” “” This person's face changed, and the eyes that were originally drunk and bowed suddenly burst into a compelling brilliance, and such a gaze shot on Ruhr's face, which actually made Ruer can't help but subconsciously shrink his head.
"The strong."
The man took a deep breath: "The strong man in the city of Osgilia, are you talking about it" "It's the one in the palace."
Ruhl said lightly.
This person suddenly grinned, and a murderous aura came out of his body: "Ruer in the palace, do you want to assassinate or rebel?"
"It's just a military admonition, or rather, to save the empire."
The fire in this person's eyes quickly dimmed, he lowered his head to savor Ruhl's words, and after a while, sneered: "Save this empire Hmph, this kind of boring thing, you go find someone else."
The empire is already rotten, and I have no interest in saving it, and it doesn't need me to save it. ” "You have to go."
Ruhl shook his head: "You are my only hope, without you, we would not be able to deal with the one in the palace."
And we all know very well that as long as there is that person by His Majesty's side, there are few people in this world who can move the emperor.
So" "I said, I'm not interested."
The man shook his head: "Saving the empire or something, in my opinion, it's shit." ” "You'll go."
Ruhl took a deep breath: "Because, what you are saying now is just words of resentment.
Because, you know in your heart, if General Spann were still alive, he would have done the same. ” As he spoke, Ruhl had already stood up, drank another cup, put the cup on the table, and said lightly: "Just after dawn, you will see fire and smoke in the direction of the palace, at that time, it is the time for us to start, I hope you will appear at that time." ” With that, Ruhl immediately turned and walked towards the door.
"What if I don't go," the man asked, turning around and looking at Ruhl's back.
Ruhl stopped, he turned his head and looked at the man's face: "If you don't go, we'll just die."
His voice was low and contained a hint of indignation: "In the past, when the siege of the city was besieged, General Spann once said that the city was broken, and I, Span, should die, and now I am just this sentence."
The man's brows furrowed fiercely, and he said in a deep voice: "Is it you who is the mastermind, or Adric" "Is there a difference" Ruhl sneered, "I'm good, Adric, the dead General Span, we're all just for this empire."
Mr.
Yelin, I know that you are a strong man and do not want to participate in this kind of worldly strife, but today, if you don't go, we will just die under the imperial city as General Spann said in the past.
But this is the road we must go."

As soon as the words fell, the figure of the fat man had disappeared outside the door.
In the tavern, Yelin sat there silently for a long time, and suddenly a complicated smile appeared on his face.
"When Die, Hey, When Die" When the sky was bright, the rain seemed to slow down a bit.
Before dawn, the defenders of the Arc de Triomphe were surprised to find several heralds riding out of the city with passage documents issued by the military headquarters.
Although these heralds were all dressed in the service of ordinary heralds, they were obviously all strong and athletic men, and after holding the warrant for the city guards to open the door and let them go, they quickly disappeared into the rain.
Originally, I thought it was just an ordinary transmission of military orders, but after the sky was bright, the city guards finally realized that something was wrong At daybreak, troops came from outside the city, but they were the 2nd and 9th Corps, which were originally stationed on the outskirts of Oorgillia.
They entered the city through the six gates, and all of them showed the orders of the military headquarters.
Four flag regiments, with a total of 10,000 people, the elite of the Central Army, just when the sky was just dawning, drove straight into Yanjing.
Several gates on the eastern front of Osgilia, including the Arc de Triomphe, were almost all received the most urgent martial law order issued by the military headquarters at the same time in the morning, which was actually signed by General Adric, the imperial minister, strictly ordering the defenders of each gate to close the gates immediately and prohibit anyone from entering or leaving.
As soon as the lockdown order was issued, the city guards quickly closed the city gates.
Immediately, this majestic city was completely isolated from the outside world In the morning, a makeshift military camp in the north-central part of the city of Osgiria.
This temporary barracks is located near a square in the north-central part of the city of Osgilia.
This military camp was built entirely to accommodate the noble private army of King Qin mobilized by many noble families in the empire.
Originally, the garrison of Osgilia, even the central army, was stationed in the suburbs outside the city, and only the city guards guarded Yanjing.
But among these aristocratic private armies, most of the leaders and leaders are the children of the nobility, where are they willing to eat the hardships of the garrison in the wilderness, and Yanjing, a continental city, is right in front of them, who is willing to let the city not live, and go to the outside of the city to live in barracks tents And His Majesty also gave special treatment to these aristocratic private armies, making an exception to allow the aristocratic private armies of several wealthy families to enter the city and station, and also specially turned the northeast region out to these people.
The original order was to only allow the private armies of a few wealthy families to enter the city, but when the order came below, it became a taste, and most of the private armies of the big and small wealthy nobles ran into the city and stationed in the city, and once they entered, they refused to leave the city again if they were in the city.
No matter what these people say, they all came in the name of King Qin, and although the emperor was a little helpless about this, he couldn't forcibly expel them, so he had to acquiesce in the matter.
The lords of these aristocratic private armies are stationed in the city, and they only take their guards and attendants to wander back and forth in the city.
Military discipline is also lax, and there is no way to go in and out of the barracks, and even some soldiers can't bear the loneliness and summon the girl into the barracks for fun.
These aristocratic private armies, where there is any formal training, have to sing until midnight every night, and the second day, they often don't get up until the sun is sunburned.
The leading masters above are all in this way, and where will the sergeants below be idle A huge military camp is full of chaos every day, idle people come and go, the army drinks at will, and even gambles, which is just an ordinary thing, and as for the guards of the garrison camp, it is even more useless.
On this morning, some soldiers yawned and ran to the gate of the barracks, reminded the soldiers who were napping under the camp wall, cursed a few words, and then climbed up to the watchtower, just looked out, but immediately woke up from the hangover drunkenness Just outside the barracks, a black-pressed team had already blocked the camp gate with swords and swords, and the armor was shiny but they were all wearing the costumes of the Imperial Central Army The defenders at the camp gate immediately ran in to report, but those noble lords were still dreaming in their own barracks, and many women were even holding white flowers in their nests.
It wasn't until the camp was in a panic for about an hour that the whole camp finally sounded a chaotic noise, and the leaders of the noble private armies woke up from the bed and ran out in a panic, and many people didn't understand what was going on, until someone shouted, ran to the camp gate to watch, and ran back in a panic Soon, the news that the central army surrounded the camp finally spread.
Some of the leaders of the aristocratic private army were a little more flexible, and they immediately sensed that something was wrong, and they ran back to their camps to order the queue.
Some of them were more reckless, so they went directly to the camp gate to shout and scold, reprimanding the central army outside for their reckless behavior.
But no matter what, the black and oppressive Central Army blocking outside maintained a chilling silence, the queue was outside, the platoon was square and tight, and even the bows in the hands of the soldiers were half open A few nobles with inflexible brains rushed to the outside of the camp to scold and reprimand, but after only two shouts, the central army on the opposite side swept over unceremoniously with a rain of arrows, and suddenly the few nobles who were still scolding were shot into hedgehogs by random arrows Seeing this scene, everyone really panicked, those central troops blocked the camp gate, and they dared to let go and kill people, wouldn't it be the opposite The Central Army turned against everyone, and once they came to this conclusion, everyone was really as pale as dirt.
The leaders of the noble private armies gathered, and everyone was in a panic, where could anyone come up with an idea Finally, after a long day of chaos, the two leaders of the most powerful families were elected, and the two who were elected went up to the guard tower tremblingly, and were about to shout outside, but suddenly looked at the central army outside, and a horse galloped out, rushed to the gate of the camp, raised his hand and shot an arrow, and with a snatch, the arrow shaft was nailed to the wooden fence of the tower, and a roll of cotton cloth was tied.
"The people in the camp heard that this is the personal military order of Lord Adric of the military department, and now Osgilia has entered the military management, and my central army is ordered to take over the city defense, and your army is temporarily stationed in the camp, not to enter or leave, not to cause trouble, not to make noise, and if anyone moves without permission during the waiting period of the order, they will be killed by military law."
This was shouted twice, and the knight outside was full of anger, and the voice came in, and immediately everyone at the door listened carefully and carefully, and then everyone's faces became as white as paper Military management Adric It is forbidden to kill without permission Anyone with a little bit of brains now understands what's going on It's a big mess After a moment of shock, several noble leaders suddenly shouted.
"We are aristocrats" "We are a private army, and the military department has no authority to order us" "Why is Adric holding us?"
"That Scarface, this is a rebellion" "There are twenty or thirty thousand people in our camp, and we are still afraid of him, so we rushed out and killed all these untouchables."
In the chaos, there are indeed those few who have made a move.
Whether it's genuinely loyal to the royal family, or just simple-minded and reckless.
Several nobles immediately angrily gathered their subordinate private armies and ordered them to march out of the camp and charge.
But how are these private armies good, not to mention that among the noble private armies in the city, before the Duke of Minas went south, they were selected, and the slightly decent ones were selected into the army of the southern expedition, where would the rest of these people have any good goods Several sparse teams were forced out of the camp gate by Shangguan, but they were greeted by an unceremonious wave of arrows from the Central Army These central armies are the real elite of Yanjing, originally the 2nd and 9th Corps of the Central Committee, and they have experienced countless bloody battles in the defense of Yanjing, where can these rabble contend with The aristocratic private army rushed three times, the first time it managed to rush out of the camp a hundred steps, but the last two times, no matter how the old men behind urged, the team was sparse and refused to move forward.
The only result was that hundreds of corpses were thrown outside the camp.
The last time, even before the team rushed out of the door, the central army on the opposite side suddenly blew the trumpet of the charge, and a group of central troops came out, which frightened the courage of these noble lords, and hurriedly ordered the camp gate to be closed.
Finally, after the urgent consultation of several noble leaders in the camp, a white flag was soon hoisted on the guard tower at the camp gate.
Soon, in accordance with the requirements of the Central Army, the gate of the garrison's camp was opened, and the noble private troops in the camp were required to all line up under the command of the Central Army.
The private army of the nobles lined up one by one to hand in their weapons, and then everyone sat down in a line on the square in the camp under the strict supervision of the central army.
Just when the nobles were sitting on pins and needles and panicking, in the morning, there was movement in the direction of the palace The bell tower in the palace is the tradition of the empire, and every time there is an emergency, the bell rings in the palace to summon the army in the city.
At this moment, such a bell rang out, which immediately made the hearts of all the noble leaders tremble The palace and the palace rang the bell, these central armies are really opposed, they must have attacked the palace `` To be continued 〗Hanyu Pinyin "" is simple and easy to remember:
