Chapter 494 ran backwards On the streets, the roaring of horses and the sound of horses' hooves broke the silence of the night.
More and more horse caravans swept through the long street towards the pier area north of the city.
The people on both sides of the street closed their doors tightly, trembling in the sound of horses' hooves like thunder.
After experiencing the coup d'état in the imperial capital, the hearts of the people in the imperial capital have actually become crispy and sensitive.
Even if it usually seems to be relieved, once this sensitive sign occurs again, people will immediately become like frightened birds again The security team, the city guards, waited until a group of red feather horsemen also roared through the street, and everyone who saw them realized that they were afraid that something really big had happened Oviedo slowly closed the window of his study, which faced the street.
When the heavy windows closed, the hooves of the whizzing horses were finally blocked.
The Imperial Chancellor's face was a little solemn, and he turned to look at his own son, Span, who was sitting in the study.
Compared to before he went to the Northwest, Spann looked a little thinner, but also a little more energetic.
Dark-skinned, apparently the result of a long period of running outside.
If he still had a bit of a fledgling-like weak aura on him, then Span, who was sitting in front of Oviedo at the moment, looked like a real man.
For this change in his son, Oviedo is still very satisfied.
He felt that it was a wise idea to choose to send his son to the northwest in the first place.
However, Oviedo also knew very well that his son suddenly ran back to the imperial capital like this, and things were by no means simple.
Looking at his son, who was sitting there with a fierce light in his eyes, Oviedo suddenly had a ridiculous thought in his heart: "Those movements outside tonight won't have anything to do with you."
Spann smiled and shook his head, "Of course not.
Father. ” Oviedo nodded: "It's good if you don't have it."
In the last few days, I have been restless, terrified, and feel as if something big is about to happen. ” After glancing at Span, Oviedo said slowly: "You went back to the imperial capital this time, what the hell is going on, I heard that you and Panin had a falling out in the northwest, and then you ran away angrily."
Spann smiled wryly.
Oviedo's face was serious, and he said in a deep voice: "No matter what disagreements you and Panin have on politics.
But your approach is wrong after all, if anyone disagrees with Shangguan, they can abandon the official in anger and run away, won't the world be chaotic, besides, Paning is the military chief of the northwest, he has the right to govern the place by military law, you abandon your official position like this and run back regardless of it, he has the right to arrest you back.
Span, punished by military law, you fool" Seeing that his father said so much in one breath, Span was also a little helpless, and it was easy to wait for the old man to finally take a breath.
"Father, am I so unbearable in your eyes" Span smiled bitterly: "I don't know these truths that since I went to the northwest, I am not a waste raised by those wealthy families."
After going to the Northwest.
I ask myself that I am quite diligent, and I can handle the things that Shangguan gives me properly, I dare not say that I take one step and see three steps, but occasionally I can do it for Shangguan to pick up the missing and fill in the gaps. ” Oviedo's face was slightly better: "I also heard that you did a good job before. ” After a pause, he asked again: "Then why did you come back this time, but I am afraid that the submission from Northwest Paning will be delivered in the past few days."
When the time comes, you will not be able to escape the charge of leaving your post without permission Although I am the prime minister of the empire, the northwest is the top priority in the eyes of His Majesty the Emperor, and almost all matters in the northwest, big and small, as long as they are passed to the imperial capital, the emperor will personally inquire about them, and when the time comes.
Even if I tried to shield you, there was no room for me.
It all depends on the emperor's will."
Spa smiled faintly: "Father, don't worry, General Panin's submission will never have a word of ill will ever say anything bad about me."
If I'm not mistaken, I'm afraid there will be a lot of compliments. ” "Hmm" Oviedo's eyes lit up.
After all, he has been in the sea for many years.
In a matter of moments, I figured out the key points.
The prime minister frowned and stared at his son: "You are angry, you abandoned the official and left, you fell out with Paning, and ran back to the imperial capital, is it all a scene that you discussed with Paning and did?"
Span's eyes flashed: "Father really deserves to be the prime minister of the empire, I guessed it right, you guessed it accurately, these are just a scene between me and General Panin."
Otherwise, where would I have an excuse to come to the imperial capital openly?"
"You come to the imperial capital, do you have anything special to do" Oviedo said in a deep voice: "Do you have to run in person?"
"Because of this, Panin can't trust anyone, he only believes me.
Moreover, this matter must not fall on paper, must not be written down, and must not be left with any traces and clues.
That's why I had to make a trip myself.
And this matter, Panin said that it was very confidential, and the matter was also very sensitive and special, so I couldn't rush back, so I had to find an excuse. ” At this moment, Oviedo had calmed down and glanced at his son: "I'm afraid there is still one thing you haven't said, this matter can only be done by you, because I'm afraid, hum, because you are my son."
This matter has something to do with our family."
Spanchang stood up, walked to the door of the study, opened the door, looked out left and right, and then closed the door again, and was not in a hurry to speak, but leaned against the door, listened for a while, and made sure that no one was eavesdropping outside the door, and then turned and looked at his father.
Oviedo looked at his son's actions, his face did not show any dissatisfaction, but he was faintly relieved that his son had learned to do things carefully and meticulously, which was definitely what Oviedo wanted to see the most If those who seek great things fail to do so, they will sooner or later fail.
I think of my son before he went to the northwest, he dared to shout loudly at home about "usurper" and the like.
And now, the father and son are still talking in the secret room, and they are still so cautious, and this transformation is enough to make Oviedo feel very relieved.
"Father, let's be honest.

The situation in the northwest in General Panin's opinion is now tense.
It's a little weirder."
"Spooky" "Yes."
Spann said solemnly: "The movements of the Tulip family are becoming more and more incomprehensible.
A big flag has been erected on the grassland, and hundreds of thousands of grassland iron horsemen will come east at any time.
And the tulip family is" "The Tulip family's actions, the imperial capital already has intelligence."
Oviedo waved his hand: "You don't need to talk about your analysis, just say that this matter is critical." ” "Panin once went to Loulan City of the Tulip family alone, and he tried to persuade the Duchess of the Tulip family to take care of the overall situation, but he was refused."
Oviedo was taken aback.
Then he frowned and said: "He went to Loulan City alone, this Paning, so bold that he is not afraid that the Tulip family will attack him."
He said that the Tulip family pays attention to face and will never do such a thing.
"Hmph, stupid."
Oviedo shook his head: "Politics is such a thing, where does it come from?"
The Tulip House is by no means as tall and majestic as it seems.
When they need to be shameless, they will be more shameless than anyone else, even if the Tulip family doesn't kill him, if he is detained, what will happen to the northwest Panin, who has already become a major general, but is still full of untimely heroic thinking. ” Span didn't refute either, in fact, he didn't approve of Panin's trip at the beginning, he said quickly: "After Panin comes back."
It's weird.
He entrusted me with an important matter, and asked me to accompany him in a play, and then I came to the imperial capital to meet you with a few things, a few questions, and asked me to ask you face to face and find the answers in you."
Oviedo's eyes flashed: "What question, you ask" "First, I want you to check it out for me.
Last year and this year, the number of war horses that the empire bought through the Tulip House in the past two years Second, I want you to help me check, last year and this year, I don't need specific details of the tax accounts paid by the Tulip family, there are too many numbers for me to worry that you can't remember.
So I just need the general data for each quarter.
Thirdly, a few months ago, there was a person who had been to the imperial capital, and this person had met His Majesty Shiloh.
This matter should be a secret, but I believe in an imperial minister like your father.
Even if you are a loyal courtier, there will always be some eyes and ears in the court, I just need to let you go back, in front of your father, ask him in person how much he knows about this matter, and ask him everything, and then come back and tell me that if your father refuses to answer, you can tell him, I will ask him and tell him, if he refuses to say, then when the imperial capital is full of blood, and the bloody smell of foreign races defiles the White Tower, he must not regret it."
Spann never forgot a word of Panin's original words at that time And at this moment, he was not obscure, and repeated Panin's words word for word After hearing this, the face of the Imperial Prime Minister immediately turned gloomy It's getting ugly Oviedo thought for a moment, but he didn't answer his son's question. but "Let me ask you, these three questions are Paning, after returning from Tulip's house, I came to you to ask me, and you are sure that he asked after he came back from Tulip's house."
Spann nodded, "Yes, exactly. ” Orviedo suddenly took a step back, leaned on his chair, and sat down heavily.
"Something Wrong" Although the roaring ballista is terrifying, the long-range hit rate of such a thing as a ballista is indeed pitifully low, and the ballista used on the battlefield is generally concentrated in a group to cover the shooting.
At this moment, the ship is getting farther and farther, and if it is still hit in such a situation, it can only be said that the character is too poor.
Only one ballista was hit on the ship, and although it pierced the hull, fortunately above the waterline, the sailors and the ship's craftsmen rushed down the deck and the cabin to repair it, and it was not expected to be repaired in an hour or two.
There were also more than fifty tulip warriors on this big tulip ship, and Fiona stood at the bow of the ship, looking as ugly as she looked.
"Hey, Miss Fiona."
Dixon walked up and said with a smile: "We have already run out of the imperial capital, but what are you doing with such a sad face."
Those guys stopped the ship from catching up, and it was not so fast, even if the cavalry had to be mobilized, and the horses had to eat, drink and rest, we would always be faster than the cavalry when we took the boat. ” Fiona smiled bitterly: "Your Excellency, don't you think of a question?"
"Ugh" "Where is the tulip home?"
"In the northwest."
"Where is our boat heading now?"
"Uh, to the east" "Yes, when we left the imperial capital, in order to escape as quickly as possible, the ship was driven eastward, because to the east, it was downstream and the fastest speed.
But although we have now thrown off our pursuers, the farther we run, the farther away we are from our family.
Our original destination was to return to the family."
Dixon froze and ran in the opposite direction, so he couldn't turn around and go back now.
Go back, isn't that self-defeating?
"That's it, what I came out to do this time has been a complete failure, the entire fleet has been lost, only this one boat is left, it can be said that I lost a lot, this Gu Le, I have been in charge of the inner court for less than a year, I didn't expect to operate this net so tightly in the imperial capital My hidden power in the imperial capital for many years has actually been dug out by him" to be continued.
