"Hell See" Ruhl muttered on horseback, wiping the snot from his mouth that had been blown by the cold wind.
The cavalry was still galloping along the road, and every cavalryman was exhausted, and even Ruhl's superb horsemanship and profound strength were really a little unbearable for such a long journey in a row.
Fortunately, this journey is almost at the end, just I am afraid that what greets these people is not a delicious hot meal, but a cold sword Shit, what a fuck Ruhl cursed fiercely in his heart, and then sprayed all the most vicious curses in the world on the name that he had cursed hundreds of times in his heart.
That stupid, deserving emperor with a thousand cuts How stupid do you have to be to do such a stupid thing?
aaa When it was getting dark, the advancing horse team was finally stopped, and a group of cavalry met it and blocked the way.
After receiving Ruhl's orders, his guards did not make drastic moves, but first sent two cavalrymen to meet them with banners to negotiate.
Ruhl finally stopped his horse, rested a few breaths, and looked at the blocking cavalry from a distance, not knowing what it was like.
This group of cavalry was obviously wearing Imperial armor, but the subtleties had been changed, and the banner was no longer the Imperial Eagle Banner, but the family emblem of the Minas family.
Teacher, it seems that he is determined to start anew.
Ruhl sighed in his heart, and he had little hope for his trip south.
It's just a few months, and his talented teacher has swallowed the entire army of the Southern Expedition, tens of thousands of troops, plus the expansion of the past few months, now the old duke has sat on the land of the four southern counties, with more than 100,000 armor, although a large number of them are newly recruited new troops, as well as private armies served by nobles from all walks of life, but the comprehensive strength has undoubtedly far surpassed the small center of Yanjing.
At this time, he also made a move to provoke the other party, and Ruhr really doubted that he would have a chance to go back on his trip to the south.
Before the trip, Ruhr had already told Adric about his concerns, but Adric's answer was very honest: "I know there is little hope, and even if I am in the same mood as you now, I really want to kick the ass of the one in the palace with my boots, but Ruhl, please understand, we have not chosen that we can't afford to survive a civil war to save the hope of peace, even if it is only one in ten thousand, we have to do it If we can, I would like to go to the south to meet the teacher in person, but the situation in Yanjing, I can't leave at all If I don't sit here, maybe the one in the palace will do something stupid, so" So only Lao Tzu went south to wipe his ass on this matter Why did the damned emperor send someone to kill the youngest grandson of the Duke of Minas How much can that kid threaten the current national fortunes of the Magician Che Empire, it is no longer something that a few people can control, let alone another magician from the Minas family, even if there is another strong person, what can it be These chaotic thoughts were swirling in my head, and I had already negotiated them before.
A cavalry officer of the Southern Army was brought to Ruhl's horse, although the other party was only a small officer, but obviously did not have much respect for Ruhr in the general's uniform, and did not even dismount and salute, but raised his hand on the horse's back Obviously, the southern army has long not taken Yanjing in their eyes.
"Your Excellency."
The cold-faced southern officer stared into Ruhl's eyes: "I am here to meet you on the orders of the Duke, and to take you to meet the Duke. ” Ruhl raised his eyebrows: "Lord Duke knows I'm coming" The officer's face showed a little pride: "On the fourth day of your departure, the Duke received the news. ” The content exposed by this sentence made Ruhl frown more and more.
It was clear that the Duke of Minas had more control over the territory than he had anticipated.
"When the Duke learns of your arrival, he has set out from the capital to greet you, and now he is waiting for you in the city of Nolan in front of you."
The officer said this, raising his hand and making a gesture of please.
Ruhl pulled himself together and tilted his head at the people around him, and the group slowly rode along the road. aaa Nolan City is not a big city in the south.
But when Ruhl arrived outside the city, he already understood one thing: the Duke of Minas had obviously not come here to meet him The entire city of Nolan has almost turned into a huge military camp The Ruhr is no stranger to the city, many years ago when he was only a mid-level officer, and one year in the spring of one year, he once came to this small southern city with the army.
The population here is not more than 10,000, but the geographical location is on the main road to the south, and most importantly, it is not too far from Yanjing.
If you march on horseback, you can reach Yanjing within ten days.
At this moment, there are large and small military camps everywhere outside Nolan City, although I don't know the specific number, but just looking at the flags, there are at least twenty or more flag regiments.
This is already more than half of the forces under the control of the Duke of Minas.
There was a busy and murderous atmosphere inside and outside the barracks outside the city, and the city defense was obviously much stricter, even with the greeting team sent by the Duke of Minas, when entering the city, the soldiers defending the city also strictly checked the warrant and the Ruhl's team.
The armor was obviously a new good color, and the swords were sharpened brightly.
Obviously, this was a tense atmosphere before the war Ruhl met the Duke of Minas in the temporary commander's palace in the city, which was converted from the former garrison palace into the temporary commander's palace, there was a tense atmosphere, and the officers of various military ranks and clerical officers were all nervously busy Military supplies, food and grass, ordnance, supplies, logistics When he finally met the old duke, Ruhl's heart chuckled even more The Duke of Minas looked in good spirits, his beard, which had already turned gray, seemed to have turned half-black and half-white again, and the old man looked at least ten years younger than when he was in Yanjing.
And he was wearing a military uniform The tight-fitting cowhide light armor, the bright red cloak, and the sword hanging from the waist of the riding boots are definitely not the colors used by the nobles to decorate, but genuine weapons.
Ruhl took a deep breath and leaned down to salute.
"Teacher" The Duke of Minas stood there, without any expression on his face, and after Ruhl leaned over and saluted, the old man stared at Ruhl's eyes for a long time, and the corners of his mouth finally slowly, slowly, a trace of laughter appeared.
"Ruhl, I've always been curious, you have been running around in the army, and over the years, you have always been unable to lose weight."
Ruhl seemed stunned for a moment by the old duke's affectionate greetings, which seemed to make him not react for a while.
The Duke of Minas had slowly walked to Ruhl's side and patted the fat man on the shoulder: "All the injuries on his body are healed" "I can't die anyway."
Ruer muttered and said with a wry smile: "But you, my lord, are getting younger and younger." ” "Oh" Duke Minas glanced at Ruhl and smiled meaningfully, but the words he said made Rul's heart tremble "Young, do you mean my hair" The old duke's tone seemed calm, but it seemed to contain some deep meaning: "When I was in Yanjing, I often secretly dyed my hair, not to dye my hair black, but to dye my black beard and hair white, only an old Duke of Minas can make the Lance Emperor feel at ease, and if I am in Yanjing for all these years, I am also such a lively appearance, I am afraid that I will not live today, I am afraid that before the Lance Emperor dies, he will send someone to quietly give me a cup of poisoned wine." ” Hair dyeing deliberately dyes black hair white A chill ran through Ruhl's heart.
He didn't answer the sentence, just smiled bitterly.
Duke Minas looked at Ruhl's smile and slowly shook his head: "Ruhr, you are much less daring than before. ” He turned and walked inside, and Ruhl immediately followed with his head down.
Walking into the hall, as soon as the two sat down, the old man almost made Ruhl stand up again.
"When you entered the city, you saw what it looked like outside" "Look, I see."
Ruhl took a deep breath and bred himself to meet the piercing gaze of the Duke of Minas.
"How can my army be considered majestic?"
"Uh" Ruhl thought for a moment and decided to tell the truth: "It looks good, but it's still a little worse than the Central Army." ” "Huh."
The old man didn't mind at all, and said with a faint smile: "The little old foundation left in the Central Army is in the hands of Adric, which is indeed very good, but the number, if you can make up a corps, it will already be up to the sky."
Although these people in my hands are a little worse now, if it is a duel between the two armies, the siege can also surround him to death. ” "Yes."
Ruhl nodded.

Duke Minas is a famous general, and Ruhr naturally will not doubt his ability to lead troops.
In just half a year, it is already quite good to integrate the army in the south, if you wait a few more months "Spring ploughing is over."
The old man said lightly: "When the autumn harvest comes, the food hoarded in my hand is enough to supply 100,000 troops for half a year."
Although the grain production in the south is not as much as that in the northern grain producing areas in Char's hands, the south has not experienced war, and the wealth and grain hoarded in the local area are a lot of Adric, who doesn't know Yanjing, how many chips he has in his hand now."
In total, there were less than 20,000 troops, of which 10,000 were the old base of the Central Army.
Armament and food were to be aided by the Landis by sea Ruhl muttered inwardly.
Then the fat man suddenly felt a chord in his heart, and decided that he could not continue to be passive like this, raised his head and asked, "Teacher, what do you mean by saying this to me?"
"In that case, why would that kid of the Krenma family do such a stupid thing to provoke me?"
Duke Minas's face immediately sank.
Ruhr, the boy of the Krenma family, savored the title.
Obviously, the old duke was not even in the mood to pretend.
The little emperor of Yanjing, in his mouth, is just "that kid".
"You know, some people's stupidity is always immeasurable by ordinary people."
Ruhl's answer made the Duke of Minas laugh.
He looked at the fat man: "So, you didn't come to see me on behalf of that stupid boy" "I'm here on behalf of Adric," Ruhl sighed, but the answer was unambiguous, very crisp, and he didn't dare to hesitate.
"Good."
The Duke of Minas nodded, looking quite satisfied, but then his words showed a hint of murderous intent undisguisedly: "If you were here on behalf of that stupid little emperor, you wouldn't have seen me at all, and your head would have been hung on the city wall."
In the face of this murderous sentence, Lul snorted: "Teacher, you don't have to say this to me, no matter what, I am also a disciple trained by you." ” "Oh" The old man glanced at Ruhl, but there was no smile on his face: "Ruhl, how many years have you followed me" "Uh" Ruhl thought for a while, and said very sincerely: "When I was young, I was a cook in your house, and later I was favored by you, cultivated me, and sent me to the military academy, I entered the army step by step, and it was also your teachings, and it has been more than twenty years." ” "Well, it's been more than twenty years."
Duke Minas said lightly: "It's a pity, it's been more than twenty years, although you little guys have grown up well, and you Ruhr is also one of the most famous generals in the empire now, but just what you just said is not qualified." ” "Ugh" "Hmph."
The old man sneered: "Don't say that you are my disciple, if you really want to stop in front of my road today, I will not hesitate to cut off your head and kill the big thing, how can I consider the slightest personal hum, so I said, whether you are good or Adric, you are still far away."
The muscles in the corners of Ruhl's eyes twitched.
"In order to achieve great things, we must not hesitate to make a decision."
Duke Minas said categorically: "If it is necessary, whether it is you or Adric, I will not hesitate to kill it, but that guy Adric, but obviously still has a bit of a woman's kindness, if I were in his position, there would have been more than a dozen ways to end up in war, and I would never let this situation collapse to the current situation" "Teacher, Adric is just loyal to the Empire."
Ruhl sighed.
"Is loyalty to a country, or loyalty to a family," Duke Minas sneered, and then his tone became calm "The Krenma family has been sitting in the Byzantine Empire for hundreds of years, and it's time for a change."
When Ruhl heard this, he couldn't help but stand up If all the old man's previous actions can be reluctantly explained by self-reliance, then this sentence now clearly exposes his desire to replace him "Teacher, you've really made up your mind to do this."
Ruhl's forehead was already sweating, and his face was turning pale.
The Duke of Minas was silent for a while, and didn't seem to care about Ruhl's questioning, and was silent for a while, before he suddenly whispered: "Ruel, you have followed me for so many years, you have seen it in your eyes, my Minas family is full of families, how loyal to the empire is, and how loyal is to his Klenma family" Ruhl was silent.
"My Minas family has been serving the country for generations, and my old man's father died in battle in the northern frontier of the empire.
I joined the army before I was twenty years old, and when I joined the army, the Lancer Emperor had not even inherited the throne."
The Duke of Minas continued slowly: "The old ones in the army with the same qualifications as me, many of them became the governors of the first district, and they were worthy of the name of the king If I wanted to take this step in the past, I would have become a warlord governor decades ago, and I had great power, why should I sit in Yanjing for so many years, and I was full of talent and strategy by the suspicion of the two generations of emperors of the father and son, but I had to give up the military power in the prime of life, and returned to the old mansion as an old guy, pretending to be deaf and dumb, I was imprisoned in that cell in Yanjing, and for the sake of loyalty to the country, I also gave my most beloved daughter to the Klenma family, but later, what did I get?"
"More than twenty years, if I can continue to command the imperial army when I am forty years old, with my energy and talent, I am seventy percent sure that I can recover the rivers and mountains, the governors of those places, which one is my opponent, if the old emperor is willing to trust me, just as the founding emperor trusted Tulips, why did this country become so divided now, give me ten years, I have the confidence to make this empire prosperous" "However, from the beginning to the end, the Krenma family only believed in themselves, and they would doubt all the people who were fighting for power, and I used to stand closely by the side of the Lancer Emperor, and fully supported him, but when his throne was secured, I couldn't wait to kick me out of the army."
"Before I was forty years old, I was already worthy of such an empire, worthy of his Clenma family" Duke Minas slammed Ruhl's heart word by word, and Ruhl was silent.
The fat man knew very well that his trip to the south was in vain.
He didn't even have time to explain to the old duke why the Emperor of Yanjing ordered the assassination of the duke's grandson, Little David.
And the Duke of Minas was not even interested in questioning this question at all In the heart of the Duke of Minas, he had already made up his mind to rebel.
In Yanjing, it doesn't matter whether the emperor kills Little David or not, at most it just becomes an incentive for the old duke to do it in advance. aaa Ruhl knew he didn't need to say anything more.
The old man didn't tie him up and cut him with a knife, which was already very nostalgic.
The Duke of Minas had no intention of negotiating with Ruhl at all, but arranged a dinner party and invited Ruhl to get drunk with Ruhl, but Ruhl did not refuse, and after thinking about it, the fat man also realized that this was probably the last time he would drink at the same table with the teacher.
But when the dinner began, when the side door of the restaurant opened and a thin figure came out of it, Ruhl couldn't help but exclaim "Ahh Ruhl's eyes widened as he stared at the kid who came out of the door.
"Dai, David" The fat man immediately turned his head to stare at the Duke of Minas, and then the fat man began to smile bitterly: "It turns out that you have already brought the child here" Then the fat man gritted his teeth: "That Lear is also here with you" "It's not just Lear."
The Duke of Minas summoned his grandson to his side, touched the child's hair, and said with a faint smile: "Actually, just three days ago, this child was sent to me, but the person who sent him here was not Lear. ” Two more figures slowly walked out of the side door.
"General Ruhr, long time no see."
"Hello, General Ruhr" Dax and Dotaro stood in front of Ruhr, Dax smiled with a sinister look, and Dodoro was a little afraid.
"You" Ruhl looked at the two of them, and finally smiled bitterly, and then the fat man suddenly slapped the table hard, and suddenly laughed out loud "Hahahaha" Looking at the fat man who suddenly laughed wildly, the Duke of Minas was stunned.

Luer laughed for a long time, then turned to look at the Duke, bowed and said, "Teacher, I understand, I didn't expect that you were actually hooked up with Char's people, it seems that this Yanjing has already gone over." ” As he spoke, Ruhl grabbed the flask on the table, raised his neck and poured it together, then threw the flask and sighed, "That's it, I understand it now."
He looked at Todoro, then at Dax, and finally his eyes fell on Dax: "Although I am not very familiar with you, but fortunately I still know some things about you, that guy is just a follower, these things, you planned it."
Dax bowed down and smiled very proudly: "My lord, I'm just trying to be worthy of the salary of every copper plate that Boss Char gave me." ” "Good means."
Ruhl sneered: "If the balance of the south is broken, your northern army will have a chance to intervene." ” He turned his head to look at Duke Minas again: "It's my teacher, don't you understand, the Northern Army is now the strongest party, and the army and territory under his command are second to none, even if you can swallow Yanjing, he said that the Northern Army is going south, how can you deal with yourself?"
The old man smiled faintly: "It's nothing more than a battle on the battlefield."
In this world, the left and right are just everyone fighting, and whoever wins will belong to whom."
The old man had already stood up, looked at Ruhl, looked at his legs again, and raised his hand to point to his knees "Since I said that since Yanjing led the army south, I have sworn in my heart that in this life, these legs, will never kneel to the Krenma family again" The last sentence was categorical, but it made Ruhl suddenly shocked when he heard it No more kneeling No more kneeling "That's right," Ruhl laughed three times, grabbed a wine jug again, poured it into his neck in one go, wiped it on his lips vigorously, and laughed: "The teacher is not less arrogant than in his prime" After saying that, the fat man turned around and left, and the Duke of Minas watched the fat man turn around resolutely, and originally seemed to be about to speak, but finally sighed.
It was Dax, seeing that the fat man was about to walk to the door, and couldn't help but say, "General Ruhr." ” "What" Ruhl suddenly turned around: "Is the teacher going to leave me here?"
The Duke of Minas shook his head and said nothing.
Dax smiled and said: "General Luer, you are also a hero in the emperor, I know that you and our Char boss are in love, if you are willing to go back to the north with us, let alone the position of commander of a corps, why go back to the suffocating Yanjing to accompany the emperor to be martyred" "Phew" Ruhr scolded with a smile: "If Lao Tzu wanted to go to the north, he would have gone a long time ago."
Lao Tzu went back to Yanjing, not to give the martyrdom of that bullshit little emperor As early as the night when I helped him kill him back to Yanjing to succeed to the throne and wiped out my Rodria Corps, I Ruhr owed him the royal family and paid off I went back to Yanjing, I wanted to see if I could pull out another person who was going to be martyred."
Minas frowned and looked at Ruhl: "Adric, I know his surname best, I'm afraid" "Teacher, you can kill ruthlessly, but I can't."
Ruhl sighed: "As you said, if we meet on the battlefield in the future, it will be nothing more than a fight."
Just, teacher" Speaking of this, the fat man paused deliberately, with a narrow smile on his face, but his tone was very serious.
"Between you and that kid in the north, I'm not optimistic about you." aaa "Come on, I'm optimistic about you, boy."
Hesting's tone was full of mockery, and Char sneezed fiercely.
With a bang, a sharp aura came to his face, Xia Ya turned his head slightly, and a sharp arrow grazed his ear, Char turned over and jumped on the roof of the carport, pulled up a bow, and heard the bowstring sound, and there was another scream in the forest in the distance, Char scolded: "Old boy, are you just sitting and watching the play?"
Hasting sat cross-legged in the carport, holding a cowhide wine bag in one hand, and the three-edged war gun was hidden in a cowhide holster and placed across his legs, this Odin Valkyrie looked leisurely, took a sip of wine, and then smiled: "What if you don't sit and watch the play, do you still accompany you to do this boring thing?"
"Bah" Char scolded: "If all the people in the convoy are dead, we will have no guide, and we don't know how many more roads we will have to walk to find the holy city of Babylon." ” Hesting was about to speak, when suddenly a stray arrow flew in, but it just pierced the wine bag in his hand, and the wine immediately dripped out.
He was not angry, but he put his mouth to the breach and poured it down, and then he breathed a sigh of relief: "You kill you, don't bother me to drink." ” Char was helpless, and opened his bow again and again, and the screams in the distant forest were continuous.
In the vast forest, the caravan had shrunk into a ball, using the carriages of horse-drawn carriages to form a formation.
The caravans, young and old, were armed with blades and weapons, and the samurai hid between the carriages with bows and arrows.
In the forest, black shadows can be seen passing through the gaps in the branches and leaves, and the figures are sharp and fierce.
It was the captain of the caravan, but he was very unlucky to be shot through the neck by an arrow in the first wave of attacks, and at this moment another merchant in the caravan, a guy who was quite familiar with Char along the way, was already lying under the carriage, farting and urinating, and kept cursing: "These damn black elves, these damn jungle bandits" To be continued 〗Hanyu Pinyin "" is simple and easy to remember:
