The amount of 7,000 words and two watches Chapter 344: Cowards and Sacrificed Warriors Looking at the dark clouds in the sky, Rose tilted his head and took off his cloak and hat at will.
In front of him and behind him were those palace guards with numb expressions, the young Count of Villa was really a little depressed, and suddenly raised his hand to point to the dark clouds as thick as ink in the sky, and opened his throat and shouted: "Hey, it's going to thunder when it's raining, can't you see it?"
A knight with a square face and a serious expression came to him quickly, and said coldly: "Count Villa, do you have any orders?"
Rose scratched his head in distress and stared at this guy for a long time before he said coldly: "Can't you see that it's going to rain?"
"What about the rain."
The knight's expression was indifferent: "Your Majesty's order is that we will go all night."
Lord Earl, can't you stand this little wind and rain?"
Rose swallowed and watched as the guy rode away from him and ran to the front of the group.
Damn was forced to be this unlucky messenger, and it was unlucky enough to go on this hard trip, but that annoying Shiloh actually sent such a superb "deputy envoy", with a dead face all day long, sleeping in the open along the way, Uncle Ross has never suffered such hardships since he was born Although it was gilded in the army, it was just a formality.
In the past few days, I have been rushing non-stop, and more than 20 horses have been scrapped, but fortunately, there is a city made by the strong national strength of the Roland Empire, and it is an official post station that can be replaced at any time from the way out to the northwest.
But the horse can bear it, my Uncle Ross can't bear it, eating and drinking Lazar have been on horseback, this is to send my Uncle Ross to the northwest grassland and those alien grazing rhythms Blood had already been ground out on both sides of the crotch, and the wound had already been stuck together when he was in a hurry along the way, and when he rode on horseback and was bumpy, the taste really made people want to die.
Forget it, although Uncle Ross has been used to eating and drinking since he was a child, he is also a ruthless person in his bones, and he can grit his teeth at a critical time, and a little pain will not make Uncle Ross really become a soft egg.
But the problem is that the accompanying team of people, one by one, is a dead face, and the rigid dogma is to the extreme, especially the deputy envoy, who has spoken to himself along the way in less than twenty sentences, and every time he has a straight face, as if he owes him 10,000 gold coins.
From the bottom of his heart, Rose was certainly 10,000 unwilling to do this errand.
How good it is to be your own earl, for politics, Ross has no interest in the slightest, his family has a big business, since the Du Wei era, the Villa family is a wealthy family of the imperial aristocracy, even if Shiloh becomes the emperor and changes the dynasty, the butcher's knife cannot fall on the head of a person like Uncle Ross.
However, the hated new emperor chose himself to be the unlucky messenger and let him go to the northwest to negotiate with the duchess of the Tulip family.
Negotiate and negotiate your sister Rose sneezed fiercely, others don't know, my Uncle Rose doesn't know that the Tulip family has just done a big job, stormed the palace, and robbed important prisoners.
I heard that both sides were killed and wounded, and many elites were injured.
At this time, it was the most tense stage, Lao Tzu crashed into the tulip family's lair, in case the duchess was angry and wanted to rebel, and regarded Lao Tzu as the iron rod of Shiloh, and directly cut off the uncle's head to sacrifice the flag, wouldn't it be unjustly panicked Ross has already made up his mind in his heart, once he arrives in Loulan City, if the duchess raises a butcher's knife against herself, then the uncle will immediately kneel down on the spot and beg for mercy, if he hits a stump, Lao Tzu will be a bastard Alas, your new emperor and the old emperor are fighting to the death, and the Tulip family and the Rollin family are against each other, everyone is just fighting for a power, but these things are about my Uncle Ross The goddess is above, the biggest dream of my Uncle Ross in his life is to eat and wait for death, there are beautiful women to hold and drink wine, and to do a few more things to tease women from good families to bully and bully passers-by, to be a qualified bully, and finally die in the pile of beautiful women and wine This is called life It's been almost ten days since I came out.
Two days ago, I took a clipper, and I was barely able to get by.
In the next few days, he was on horseback every day, and now Rose suspected that he was about to become a horse.
When he arrived in Loulan City, no matter what bullshit mission he had, Lao Tzu would find the softest bed first, and then talk about sleeping him for a day and a night As for that nasty dead-faced lieutenant With a wicked smile, Rose looked at the guy running at the front of the line, dressed in armor and with a long red feather stuck in his helmet, snort, idiot This is the wilderness of the northwest, looking at this day, a storm is coming, these guys have probably never seen a thunderstorm in the northwest.
In this kind of thunderous and lightning weather, dare to run in the wilderness with such a long lightning rod on your head Rose watched from a distance, and suddenly saw that the annoying deputy envoy didn't know if his brain was broken, and he actually grabbed the flagpole in the hands of the leading cavalry, held the flagpole high, and led the team to speed up and hurry forward Aha, it's not enough to have a lightning rod on your head, you have to erect a flagpole in your hand, if this thunder doesn't kill you, hum, if you can go to the northwest alive, Lao Tzu will kowtow to you At this moment, suddenly there was a loud bang in the sky, and then a bolt of lightning fell, as if it instantly engulfed a figure at the front of the group Uncle Ross finally laughed "So, in addition to you, Shiloh also sent a lieutenant" Du squinted slightly, looking at the Count of Villa in front of him.
Rose's face was covered in dust, and the original gorgeous samurai robe was already too dirty to see its original color.
"Well, yes, yes, but that guy doesn't have a good life."
Rose spread his hands: "Killed by thunder." ” "Killed by thunder," Du's eyes widened slightly.
"yes."
Rose hurriedly shouted: "Hey Messiah, don't you stare at me like this, that fool's death has nothing to do with me, the whole team has dozens of pairs of eyes to see clearly, that fool alone raised a spear, picked a flag on the tip of the spear, ran at the front of the team to lead the way, as a result of a lightning strike, turned into charcoal alive, when the incident happened, I was at least fifty meters away from him, this kind of thing has nothing to do with me."
Saying that, Rose directly found a chair in the room and sat down, when he sat down, he skimmed his legs, and screamed in pain, and then grabbed the teapot on the table, and didn't care about using the quilt, and poured a sigh into the mouth of the pot, and then sighed: "I said Messiah, everyone has known me since childhood, but I have been on the road for more than ten days, and every day I eat on horseback to gnaw military rations, when I came out, I was one hundred and eighty pounds, and now I have lost twenty pounds of meat.
I'm counting on you to entertain you, so let's get some delicious food and drink.
Damn, these days have been gnawing on military rations, and Lao Tzu's teeth are going to be gnawed off.
You don't know, I don't know that I have been running in the wilderness all night and drinking wind and eating ashes, and I am now spitting and foaming, and I have two taels of soil."
Du stared at Rose with wide eyes, she didn't care about Rose's attitude.
This guy has always been an outlier in the aristocratic circle of the empire, he does not fight for power or profit, he has always survived in the gap between several major families and the royal family, the grass on both sides of the wall, and the ability to dance with long sleeves is perfect, and this seems to be the consistent tradition of the Villa family.
His unsparing style has become his biggest protective color, and no one will be wary of him if he seems to have no heart and no lungs.
In addition, his family has a big business, and the Villa family is wealthy, no matter who has the upper hand, he has to win over his family, so this guy is the kind of person who really sits on the top of the mountain and watches the scenery.
"Rose, the death of that deputy envoy really has nothing to do with you" Du squinted his eyes slightly, and his voice was a little cold.
"Well, this" Rose thought for a moment, and simply told the truth: "If you want to say that it has nothing to do with me, you can't do it anyway, I don't like that guy very much, and he doesn't like me."
Since it is not pleasing to the eye, I must warn him that he is not right when I see him running wildly in the wilderness with a spear in the midst of thunder."
"It's good that you didn't kill it."
Du nodded slightly, Ross has always been very shrewd, he would never do this kind of thing to make trouble for himself. syllable A letter slapped directly on the table, and Rose sighed, "This is a letter from Shiloh to you, read it for yourself."
The letter arrived, and my task was more than half accomplished. ” "Half and half," Du Wei smiled.
Ross immediately shouted, pointed at Du Weiwei, and was very dissatisfied: "Hey, Messiah, everyone has grown up fighting together since childhood, you pretend to be stupid in front of me, that is, you really treat my Uncle Ross as a fool, and the other half of the task Don't tell me that you really don't understand, Shiloh packed up such a big living person as my Uncle Ross and sent it to your house with a team of red feather horses, this is my task, my Uncle Ross is such a big living person standing in front of you, this is an attitude in itself, don't pretend not to understand." ” Du smiled and nodded.
Of course she understood what Shiloh meant.
Rose, the candidate for the "messenger", is already a vague expression of Shiloh's attitude.

Obviously, Shiloh didn't want to tear his face with himself, let alone fight a civil war.
If Shiloh wanted to take a tough stance and send someone to ask him for his guilt, then the choice of this messenger would never fall on Rose's head.
He should send one of his henchmen, or pick a ruthless character from Thor's Whip.
Sent Rose such a recognized wall-riding send, and has a lot of connections with both sides, no matter who sees this guy, it is difficult to pull down his face and lose such a person between the two sides, which is clearly a natural buffer zone.
Ross was put in front of him alone, in fact, he didn't need Shiloh to say anything, and his attitude was already understood.
Although Ross is a little unfamiliar with things, he is generally a smart person.
As for the death of a deputy envoy, since it was not his hand, then such a small crime as not saving him in the face of death cannot be planted on his head.
Count Villa is also an earl anyway, and with such a big head, not any hat can be buckled on his head.
That unlucky deputy envoy is dead when he dies, and even if Shiloh knows about it, he won't shed a single tear for him.
"Rose" Du pondered for a moment, hesitated, and simply didn't go around in circles with this guy, she knew Rose's surname well, if she talked to him vaguely and went around in circles, this guy's ability to pretend to be stupid and stunned was unparalleled in the world, and the ghost knew where he would go, dealing with this kind of person, just go straight and force him to be unable to pretend to be stupid: "Shiloh's affairs and no matter you and me, we have known each other since childhood."
I'll just ask you one thing, what is your position on this matter" As soon as Rose heard this, he suddenly jumped up as if he had been stung by a bee, stomped his foot and pointed at Du Weiwei, and shouted: "Oh, the Messiah is not so harmful, we are all friends, don't you know my family motto of the Villa family, the rules of my family, that is, do not participate in anything, never stand in line, and never stretch out your hand, what do you mean by asking me now, is it because I have been too comfortable in the past few years, and you want to make me some trouble?"
Du Weiwei's face sank, and he said slowly: "You also know that we are friends, so whether Kaman and Luo Puppy are your friends or not, Goth, are they your friends?"
Rose shook and sat back in his chair with his head in his hands.
After a long time, he slowly shook his head, gritted his teeth and said: "It's a friend yes Messiah, I also know to tell you, if it is someone else who killed them, I Rose will definitely avenge them or, I'm not the Count of Villa, I don't want to do my best, and I will go in with a white knife and a red knife out of the murderer."
A trace of cruelty flashed on his face, but then his face collapsed, his face turned pale, and he said in a low voice: "But I'm not just Rose, I'm also Count Villa, I can't gamble the lives of hundreds of people in my family for my own feelings."
Unlike your tulips, I don't have as much money as you, I don't have the power you have, and I don't have as many troops as you do.
The Villa family has lived safely and steadily for more than a hundred years by relying on the ability to protect themselves, and in my generation, I don't plan to change, and I dare not change."
Speaking of this, Rose's face changed, and then he continued in a low voice: "You treat me as a coward anyway, my Villa clan has always been called a coward behind people's backs, and I have long recognized it."
Du sighed slightly, a trace of disappointment flashed in his eyes, but then he looked at Rose, and his gaze became a little complicated.
She walked over gently, patted Rose on the shoulder, and said in a deep voice, "Okay, you're not a coward, I know it in my heart." ” Ross was sent down to rest, and the body of the "deputy envoy" was quickly carried to the courtyard outside the hall.
Several elite Tulip family guards stood on either side, not squinting, and the corpse on the ground was covered with a white cloth.
Du Wei stood on the steps, frowning and looking at the corpse as if he was born.
There was a cough behind him, and Du turned around slightly, and saw a familiar face.
"Your wounds aren't healed yet?"
"I'm afraid it's going to take some time."
The nobleman's face was a little pale, but his eyes looked in the northwest direction, and he said in a low voice: "I'm afraid that only by returning to the mountain can this injury be healed."
Alas, I can't cultivate at home, and forcibly use spells" Du thought about it slightly, and his tone was a little guilty: "It's all for my family, delaying your cultivation, sir."
"WTO accession is also a kind of cultivation."
The noble man smiled lightly: "I have also learned a lot after thinking about it in the past few days.
I admit that there are times when I envy the penance that my friends who stay on the mountain can do without distraction.
But here I will be burdened by the things of the world.
But if you think about it carefully, this is not a kind of exercise for your state of mind.
After returning to the mountain this time, although my spell was delayed a little, my state of mind became more and more tenacious, which is very beneficial to my future cultivation.
When it comes to the depths, the state of mind is far more important than the strength of the mana in many cases, and I have only slowly figured it out in the past few days. ” Du breathed a sigh of relief, and said, "Then I wish Mr. can achieve his wish as soon as possible after returning to the mountain."
The noble man smiled, and then looked at Du Weiwei with a straight face: "Miss, what about your trip, I also have some thoughts that your nephew is not an easy person to deal with."
Just seeing that he reacted so quickly, he sent Rose as a messenger I made such a big fuss, if it was someone else, I was afraid that he would have already been furious, but he only saw the importance of the interests in such a short time, and then quickly endured it and made a compromise, sending Rose is an obvious signal that this person can endure what others can't bear, and he is by no means an easy opponent. ” Du smiled faintly, but her gaze was very firm, and she said slowly: "My tulip family has been around for a hundred years, and which opponent I have encountered is easy and simple." ” In this understatement, there is a strong self-confidence.
The noble man nodded and said with a smile: "You have such confidence, I am relieved that I am not going back to the mountain, well, that little girl named Fiona, I have carefully observed, although there are still some problems, but it can be done, this time I brought it back, and it can be regarded as leaving you with a usable person." ” "I will definitely use the person you recommend."
Du Weiwei said solemnly.
The nobleman stopped talking, but walked slowly down the steps, and then gently came to the corpse, bent down and lifted the corner of the white cloth The poor "deputy envoy" had indeed turned into a charred corpse, as Ross had said, and the corpse had been turned beyond recognition, and it was completely unrecognizable.
The noble man only glanced at it, then gently put down the white cloth, and suddenly his heart moved slightly, and he turned his head to look at Du Weiwei: "This guy's death was really thundered and chopped."
Looking at Du Weiwei's eyes, the noble man said slowly: "It's not summer now, I've been in the northwest all my life, and I've never heard of a thunderstorm that can kill people in early spring and March." ” Du Weiwei's expression remained unchanged, but his eyes finally showed a trace of coldness "Naturally, I won't hide it from you, I killed this person, and that thunderstorm is just a little magic."
Du said lightly: "Even if he doesn't have any red feathers on his helmet, even if he doesn't carry a spear and a banner, I have a hundred ways to make this thunder hit his head." ” The noble man shook his head: "Why" Du Wei's eyes flashed, and he said coldly: "It's just to let Xiluo know one thing: who he sends is his business, but in this place in the northwest, not whoever wants to come can come without my nod, and the living will become dead when they come in."
"Okay, do you think that if I don't nod my head, whoever the Pope wants to send to follow me can do it?"
Chen Daolin sighed and looked at the burly man in front of him who was staring at him with wide eyes.
Montoya's injuries had healed, and standing in front of him, his majestic body was like a half-cut iron tower, and his whole body exuded a fierce and powerful aura "Montoya, Your Excellency Darling is right."
Free novels bring you joy and joy ---> storyskyline.net
Heynckes spoke calmly.
The Pope spoke, and Montoya immediately turned around and bent down at the Pope.
"Because of what happened before, you can't show up in public for the time being, at least not yet."
Heynckes said in a calm tone: "Follow Lord Darling, that's what I mean."
His Excellency Darling began by asking me to have two men to follow him as assistants, and I thought of you.
You have always locked yourself in the training ground and practiced martial arts hard all night, of course I know that your mind is only the position of the Holy Knights, and you can't go back for the time being.
And His Excellency Darling is also in charge of the Church, and I think he does need a strong assistant and samurai servant by his side.
You are old acquaintances again, and it is only fitting for you to follow him. ” When the Pope spoke, Montoya didn't dare to say anything, but her heart became more and more dazed.
He naturally recognized Darling Chen, and he also owed Darling Chen a life.
After the two had dealt with each other twice, Montoya was also impressed by Darling Chen's cunning and wisdom.
But the Pope specifically brought himself in and asked him to follow this guy, what does this mean?
Montoya's words have been hidden by the church, and the previous assassination of the emperor, he almost became an abandoned son of the church, and the loss of many subordinates, also made Montoya deeply blame himself, this guilt and unwilling emotions are intertwined, coupled with deep loss, so that this fierce general brother can only lock himself in the training ground every day and practice martial arts desperately, practicing until he almost vomits blood, in order to slightly alleviate some of the irritability in his heart.
Unexpectedly, today the Pope called himself and said that he had a task entrusted to him, but it was such a thing When did this guy Darling Chan come to church, and what is his relationship with the church?
Although he was hidden by the snow, Montoya knew his value very well: in terms of martial arts, even in the Holy Knights who were full of masters, he didn't think that even the current leader of the Holy Knights, Tacitus, didn't have to be strong in martial arts cultivation, and even lost half of himself Originally, he should have been the best candidate for the leader of the Holy Knights, but now he was hidden for special reasons, but His Majesty the Pope actually sent a person at the level of the leader of the Holy Knights to this Darling Chen "His Excellency Darling Chan has a deep connection with the Church."
Heynckes naturally knew the doubts in Montoya's heart, but the identity of the divine envoy was inconvenient to tell this guy, so he had to say vaguely: "You just need to remember that Darling Pavilion has an important task, and what he has to do is related to the development of the church, and your task is to follow Darling Pavilion, be his servant, and swear to protect his safety."
"And you have to listen to my command."
Chen Daolin added shamelessly.
Montoya frowned, glanced at Chen Daolin, and then looked at Heynckes.
But to Montoya's surprise, His Majesty the Pope actually nodded, and his expression was actually very serious "Montoya, listen well, I chose you because of your outstanding martial arts skills and ability to take on important responsibilities, and secondly, because of your loyalty to the church and devotion to your faith, you just need to remember that by following Darling Tower, don't ask what you shouldn't ask, don't think what you shouldn't think, the only thing you have to do is to obey his command of you."
The Pope suddenly hesitated, and then said slowly: "You just take every order of His Excellency Darling as if it were my words."
Montoya's heart was shocked, and she looked up at the Pope in disbelief.
What Darling Chen said is equivalent to what the Pope said, which is not ordinary His Majesty's request is to make himself treat Darling Chan as the same authority as the Pope "Your Majesty" Montoya hesitated: "I am grateful to His Excellency Darling Chen, if I am asked to protect his safety, I will naturally not refuse this task."
But His Excellency Darling is not a Catholic, and he has done a lot of things that are contrary to the doctrine, if he asks me to do something that is out of line with the doctrine."
Before Heynckes could speak, Chen Daolin had already smiled maliciously: "Of course I did it, even if I set fire to the church, you will be responsible for carrying firewood and lighting fires for me."
Montoya rolled his eyes, but to his surprise, His Majesty the Pope didn't care at all when he heard this, and then nodded solemnly "Montoya, I know it's hard for you to understand now, but you just have to remember that in order to revitalize my church, many times, we people have to have the courage to sacrifice our lives, or honor, even if we let ourselves fall into hell because of this," the Pope's tone suddenly became calm, staring at Montoya, gritting his teeth, and said: "If this kind of thing really happens, if Darling really asks you to set fire to the church, you can just do it, no matter what he asks you to do, even if it is heinous, Even if this is not forcible for Montoya, this is the time when you make sacrifices, you just have to remember that everything you do is for the revitalization of the church."
For a moment, Montoya's eyes widened, and she felt as if something in her heart was crumbling and waiting to be continued
