Chapter 576

Snowflakes all over the sky dye the outline of the capital with a layer of quiet white.

This is the first snow of this year. The guards of Wang Cheng's guards have put thick fur coats on their armor. The spears of the guards are also covered with light frost in this weather. The officer went back and forth through the gate, rubbing his hands and breathing from time to time, and then cursing the damned cold weather in a low voice.

This year's snow seems to have come much earlier than usual. What's more strange is that the imperial capital in the middle of the mainland has fallen heavy snow, but in the north of the mainland, there is no snow in the Kaspersky line.

A burst of northwest wind, so that soldiers can not help but shrink their heads again and again, impatiently looking at the hourglass on the city gate, calculating their shift time.

There are not many people on the road. In this weather, it is said that some sections of the official road outside the city have been blocked by heavy snow. Last night, a team of hapless guards were sent out to shovel snow. It's said that many caravans are blocked in the Acropolis more than ten miles away. It seems that they can't enter the city until the snow on the road is cleared.

At this time, a group of cavalry came from the distance of the main road. The leading knight was dressed in leather armour. In such cold weather, he didn't wear a fur coat, but just put a bright red cape on the outside. He rode his horse and was very powerful.

And nearly a hundred riders were followed. All the riders on the horses straightened their backs and carried long bows behind them. The cavalry had a reserved and proud face. After the horses, they were followed by hounds running in the snow.

These cavalry in the horse, but vaguely surrounded a man in the middle, in the middle of a group of pure white fur of the big horse. At first glance, it was a good foal from the northwest of the mainland. A small figure on the horse was wearing a golden fur coat, a leather case, and a delicate short bow hanging behind him. Surrounded by the crowd, the man was noble, and his mouth was slightly colder than the weather.

This cavalry is not close to the gate. The gate of the garrison saw the flag, immediately bent down and knelt down.

Among the shouts of "long live your majesty", the knight on the horse rushed in like a whirlwind. The horse's hooves trampled, and the wet mud and ice on the ground splashed on the faces and necks of the kneeling soldiers, but no one dared to say a word.

After the cavalry came into town. Some officers looked back at the city and sighed in a low voice: "I'm afraid our little majesty is not in a good mood today."

"I'm afraid to go out hunting in such a snowy day. There's nothing to gain Another officer guessed and frowned: "Your Majesty goes out hunting in the city every day these days. It seems that there are more times..."

"Shut up The officer of a higher rank immediately changed color and said coldly, "it's about the royal family. Is that what you and I can talk about? "

Prince Charles... Oh, no, it should be Emperor Charles. Surrounded by many knights, he dashed all the way up the long street of the capital. Pedestrians heard the sound of horses' hooves from a distance and immediately scattered.

After the snow. The road became more and more muddy. At the corner of a street, I suddenly heard the horse hissing, but it seemed that he was trampling on the thick ice and snow, and suddenly his feet slipped

With a plop, Charlie on the horse fell off. Fortunately, he grasped the reins firmly and hung on the horse. But it didn't land.

There are already good skills nearby, and the imperial army is getting more and more active. He took the reins and calmed the frightened horse. He quickly helped the noble little emperor down.

After the young emperor Charles landed, his young face was full of anger. Suddenly, he pushed away the Knights around him, grabbed the whip and pulled towards his mount!

"Beast!! Beast!! You dare to bully me!! You bully me, too! "

He was still young and weak, but his horse was still hissing with pain. The knight next to him saw his majesty beat the horse, but he didn't dare to stop it. He just dismounted and stood by.

After a whiplash, Charlie gasped for breath and looked at the faces of his subordinates. There was a haze on his young face, but he took a deep breath, managed to squeeze out a smile and said slowly, "this horse startles me. You don't have to be so afraid. Well, in such cold weather, don't stand here and drink the wind. Go back to the palace early. Everyone who goes hunting with me today will be rewarded. "

As he said this, he looked at his horse with hatred. There were many bloodstains on the horse's white fur, but he couldn't ride it. The head of the knight next to him quickly led his horse to the little emperor.

"Go back and kill the horse. There is no game today. Let's share the meat." Little Charlie said faintly.

There is also a reckless knight in the side film. He thinks he is smart and reminds him in a low voice: "Your Majesty, this horse is your favorite... It's a gift from the Duke of tulip..."

Charlie, who had already turned over, his face suddenly stagnated. He looked at the talkative man with anger, but his face immediately gave birth to a smile: "Oh, yes, it's a gift from the teacher. However, if the trainer fails in his duty, he will be punished when he goes back. "

He shook the reins, but suddenly asked: "the new year is coming. I heard that the teacher has brought his teacher's mother to the imperial capital. It's time to calculate. The teacher has been ill for many days, and I haven't visited him. I have nothing to do today. Let's go to tulip palace. "

He was the emperor. Although he had not been in charge of the state affairs, the Royal Knights around him didn't dare to disobey him. They quickly opened the way, turned around and went to tulip palace.

There was no attendant in the huge yard. Dewey was in a wheelchair, under the eaves, looking at the snowflakes all over the sky, as if thinking about something.

The heavy snow that began the day before yesterday lasted two days. At the moment, the eaves were covered with crystal clear ice ridges, and Dewey seemed to be staring at the ice ridges in a daze.

A few days ago, an envoy came to Nanyang and was welcomed into the palace by the Regent. This kind of etiquette almost acquiesced to Nanyang's "United Kingdom" status, and it was the Loran empire that recognized the Nanyang kingdom as a country.

Although this incident has caused a lot of criticism, after all, the Empire has been for decades. Hawks run rampant, which is regarded as "disgraceful" practice makes many people dissatisfied, but the chancellor of the Exchequer is still smiling every day. After all, the money in his pocket is real!

As the financial manager of the Empire, only this old man can understand that there is a war in the north of the Empire, and what the pressure of financial tension has reached.

"It's snowing well. A good snow is a good year. I hope there will be a good year ahead. " Dewey sighed.

Chris is still in the tulip garden in Brokeback Mountain. With the help of tears, the first batch of young Griffins have grown to about two years old in a short period of time. The first batch of Griffin Knights have started flight and combat training.

And Bai He Chou... This guy, after he came to the imperial capital. But I only lived here for a few days, ran to meet LAN Haiyue, and left without saying goodbye one night. This time, I didn't leave a word.

The Witch King, he just left.

A few days ago, there was a lot of noise in the hall about the Nanyang envoys. Although the old prime minister, Robert Thatcher, came forward to support the finance minister at the critical moment, everyone wanted to give him some face in front of the elder. But behind the scenes, there are still many people who oppose the Regent's advice.

And that time, the most subtle thing was that the old Prime Minister supported the chancellor of the exchequer. But his nephew and grandson-in-law. The current imperial Minister of military affairs, camisiro, unexpectedly kept silent.

The military is hawkish, and the old prime minister is dove. Camisillo was caught in the middle, but he could only make a fortune. After all, he is only in charge of the headquarters, and he is not qualified enough to suppress those veteran generals. This kind of time. His silence is obviously a good way to protect himself. I think the old Prime Minister acquiesced.

Things that offend people. The old man will do it himself. Camisillo is the hope of their family's future. It's better not to get involved in the dirty water.

Later, after meeting the Regent and His Majesty in the palace, the Nanyang emissary stayed in the imperial capital for three days. On the last night, he quietly sent someone to the tulip palace and sent a letter.

This letter was written by rufik, the king of the United Kingdom of Southeast Asia. After returning to China, this young slave and coachman of Dewey gradually gained his position after three years. I think the intrigue in Nanyang is not as powerful as the Empire. Rufik, who has been around Duwei for a long time, will not be able to deal with those ignorant tribal chiefs once he is enlightened when he grows up.

This letter, lufeck's tone is very humble, although he is already the king's honor, in the letter, he still respectfully called Dewey "master".

However, after reading the letter, Dewey burned it immediately. After asking the emissary for a few words, he confirmed that no one had read the letter, and that the emissary knew nothing about the relationship between Dewey and lufeck. He was only ordered to bring such a letter. At that time, he turned over on the spot and had the emissary beat out of the Duke's palace.

Later, little Zach was puzzled, but Duwei sneered: "Nanyang, don't the palace know that we have a lot to do with Nanyang? At this time, it's too late for me to hide back. How can I bump up? This messenger came to me tonight. I'm afraid I don't know how many eyes are staring at him on the street outside! Let's not say anything else. If someone attacks me and says that I'm colluding with foreign envoys, it's always a lot of trouble. In the future, we will stick to less things in Nanyang. "

"But... The annual income is a pity! At that time, we talked with Nanyang in private to make them submit to the letter and offer it every year. The money could have fallen into our pockets. Why let them send people to the imperial capital in a big way? With you in the imperial capital, does the Nanyang expedition depend on you? "

"Stupid." Dewey immediately said, "are we short of money now? Nanyang is a place that you can hold for a while and earn extra money. Do you expect to hold for a lifetime? Will I, the Regent

After a pause, he said, "lufeck is from my house. Only three or four people can know the secret, but the Regent must not know it. It's taboo. If you don't understand this, you don't have to follow me. "

"I understand," Zach said with a smile Then Dewey gave an order: this winter, the northwest religious contribution tax will be withheld! And it's a clear refusal! The so-called "clear refusal" is to submit a letter to the public and refuse to pay taxes! Little Zach was a little worried: "I'm afraid of the temple..." "hum, I'm the Archbishop of the northwest diocese. If there's a problem, the church can't tell me in the palace. It can only blame me with the internal system of the temple. I'll see if the Pope dares to ask me. If he dares to come, the tax will be deducted next spring! " As for the church who dares to stare at itself and pry into its own Brokeback Mountain courtyard, Dewey always wants to give each other some color to see. Sure enough, after many days, the church didn't even say a word and put it down. We all know that the church is not short of money, but Dewey openly lost the face of the church, but everyone saw it clearly. Looking at the edge of the eaves, Dewey suddenly sighed softly. He moved his finger on the armrest of the wheelchair. These days, his body has improved a little. With the recovery of his body, he can barely control his upper body to do some simple daily activities, such as eating with knives and forks and chopsticks, or carrying wine cups and books. It's just that some heavy work is not competent. And below the waist, there is still no movement. Damn... Isn't this a eunuch? Dewey thought. Soon his wife will come from the northwest. It's almost a year since they parted. The so-called farewell wins the newlywed. But how can I live like this?? The Duke's mood began to fret again.
