Why did the lord rebel

Chapter 234 The Imperial Capital Red Rose

"The imperial capital! The imperial capital! The great city of longing in the world, the third pearl on the Haven Continent, which is called together with the demon capital 'Top of Hundred Flowers' Moon Shadow City, and the orc capital 'Half of the World' Redstone! The crown of civilization, the throne of emperors, and the canopy of thousands of human civilians!"

——When Lena Leslie recited the verses in "Haiwen Continent Chronicle" emotionally, the owner of the food stall at the gate of the "Splitting Skull Gate" in the imperial capital just spat on the ground in disdain:
"Bah! The imperial capital is no longer what it used to be, it's all caused by you outsiders!"

Cousins ​​raised his eyebrows, stood up and wanted to reason with this impolite boss, but was pulled back to his seat by the lord.

"At the foot of the imperial capital, it's better not to cause trouble." Xia Houyan shrugged, and took a bite of the outrageously expensive sandwich he just bought in his hand.

"Ha! Be afraid!" The owner of the food stall was even more proud, pointing to the "Splitting Skull Gate" behind him, and mockingly said, "Why, it's great to pretend to be a nobleman by buying a rough robe! Tell you that I'm afraid to scare you , Grandpa, I have lived in the imperial capital for decades, not to mention you fakes, I have seen many real lords and aristocrats! Have you ever heard of Earl Hallardine in Springleaf Town in the south? 30 years ago When he was visiting the casino in the imperial capital, I even polished his shoes!"

Hearing this sentence, everyone in Shuangfengling immediately lost the desire to care about this rotten person, rolled their eyes and continued to eat.

——This day is already the end of August and the prelude of September, you are a Virgo.

The convoy of the Igor family, who was hurrying along, finally arrived at the gate of the "Splitting Skull Gate", the southern gate of the imperial capital, covered in dust.

However, perhaps because the recent war in the Eastern Territory has not gone well, there are many more imperial soldiers checking the identity of passengers at the gate of the imperial capital. The lord was a little surprised to learn that due to the large scale of the Igor family convoy and many warriors and weapons, full of the dangerous atmosphere of suspected terrorists, so they must first go to the city defense army headquarters to issue a permit to enter the city.

Bob Brooke, Master Laurie, and Eldridge had already gone to issue certificates, while Xia Houyan took several senior officials of Shuangfengling to find some food to fill their stomachs at the gate of the city.

Although the owner of this food stall has a bad attitude, the sandwiches he sells are full of roast goose and olive slices-eating delicious sandwiches, listening to the calls of the airborne imperial air cavalry griffin mounts, sinking in the southern wilderness After a long period of time, the senior officials of Shuangfengling finally felt a little bit back to the civilized world.

"Hey!" Seeing Xia Houyan and his group munching, the owner of the food stall was bored and yelled, "I still have a special swan sandwich from our old imperial capital here. Do you hillbillies eat it?"

"No." Xia Houyan rolled his eyes, thinking that he came all the way to eat swan meat, and I'm not a fucking toad.

"Where will we live after entering the city?" Among all the people present, only Katerina acted like a decent nobleman, eating sandwiches with a knife and fork extremely delicately, "I remember when I came to the imperial capital when I was a child, we The Igor family seems to have a mansion in the Unicorn District..."

"It's probably gone long ago." Xia Houyan stretched his neck and swallowed his sandwich, picked up the aloe vera juice and took a sip, "I don't believe that the bastard nobles in the empire who are like carrion vultures will not step on it after seeing our family's downfall. One kick—let’s talk about it after entering the city, if we can find the old family house, we will find a way to come back..."

The owner of the food stall on the side snorted:

You guys from outside the country, it’s fine to wear a decent aristocratic robe to pretend to be aggressive, and you still have a full set of acting?Your grandfather and I are seven or eight generations of people from the old imperial capital, and there is no house in the unicorn area in our family. Are you worthy?

But... the owner of the food stall narrowed his eyes and looked at the few customers present.

The black-haired young man in a long gown behaved like an uneducated man who looked like a nobleman, and the bald man in armor looked like a street hooligan from the market. It probably cost a few dollars. mercenaries hired by silver coins;
But the few female companions brought by this young man are a bit outrageous:

The blond-haired woman is heroic and has a sword hanging from her waist. The red-haired woman is actually wearing a fiery red tight-fitting gown that clearly outlines her figure. As for the black-haired woman, her demeanor is even more graceful and elegant enough to make the ladies of the imperial capital Ashamed to jump into the cesspit!
What's more, these women are more beautiful than each other!

The owner of the food stall stared at Xia Houyan, who was eating a sandwich calmly, and raised the rating of this young man from "hillies" to "upstarts" in his heart;
And based on the looks of these female companions, the owner of the food stall viciously speculated that the way for this guy to get rich should be pimping.

Of course, the high-level people in Shuangfengling didn't know what this old man from the capital was thinking about.

Lena Leslie, who was determined to lose her belly, put on the sandwich and sipped the aloe vera juice while twisting her waist and poking the lord with her elbow:
"Brother, how many days are we going to stay in the emperor? Who are you going to live with at night these few days?"

"Dirty books with Master Laurie." Katerina took the conversation lightly and replied, and immediately got Lena's eyes.

Knight Commander Cousins ​​pretended not to hear this undercurrent of conversation, while Alice moved away from the subject in embarrassment:
"It's a bit hot here, and our family's convoy is still parked in the woodland over there—Eliot, when can we enter the city?"

"Wait for Master Laurie and the others to come back. The city defense army headquarters is at the top of the city, so they shouldn't take much time." Xiahouyan replied sullenly, "What a ghost, but when we come over, the imperial capital will start to search the city." The door is open..."

The owner of the food stall interjected without compulsion:

"Isn't it because Rosario led the Eastern Army and lost to the orc bastards in the Eastern Realm? You said that the Imperial Army, how many staff officers have changed in the military each term? Grand Duke Leo also had reason to say, what kind of army did I bring, the Rose City regular army I brought before, who are you guys, you asked me to lead it, what level is the Eastern Army of the Empire now, just a few people are in charge Can the commander lead troops? He can't, do you know if he doesn't have this ability? If we go on, we will lose to the demons. After the Beastman Federation loses to the demons, we lose to bandits, and then no one loses..."

The senior officials of Shuangfengling pretended not to hear it.

Fortunately for them, the old Emperor's nagging didn't last long after all, because they saw Master Laurie, Bob Brook and Eldridge striding towards them in the distance, apparently The formalities have been completed.

The owner of the food stall noticed their gazes, so he turned his head and looked at the three newcomers while wiping the dishes.

"Is the pass issued?" Xia Houyan stood up and asked loudly.

"My lord, it's all done!" Master Laurie waved the parchment scroll in his hand, walked to the arbor of the food stall in three steps and said in a low voice, "My lord, Miss, let's go to the convoy immediately Pack up your things and go into the city! If you delay any longer, I'm afraid I'll bump into..."

"Hi!" The food stall owner suddenly shouted.

Master Laurie and the lord looked back.

I saw the food stall owner pointing at Eldridge's red scarf and the dark sword behind him with trembling fingers, stammering:
"You... your outfit, it's not from the latest issue of the imitated "Imperial Army God", the Eastern Army's... what kind of commander is it?"

"Mystery. Someone imitated my face, ah, someone else imitated my sword?" Eldridge pushed away the food stall owner, stepped forward and shouted at the lord, "My lord, Master Laurie, he That's right, ah, your meal is just about to come to an end, it's time to slip away..."

"Slip?" Xia Houyan asked in confusion while urging his female companions to pack up, "Why are you so frightened, have you seen death?"

"Worse than death..." Master Laurie's old face turned pale, "It's also our Igor family's bad luck. You may not believe it. When we were at the city defense army headquarters, we met..."

Behind the master, there was a sound of high heels.

On the faces of Master Laurie and Eldridge, there was an expression of despair that would only appear on the faces of stock investors who had leveraged hundreds of times during the economic crisis.

Xia Houyan first smelled a fragrant wind, and then heard a soft female voice laughing:
"Master Laurie, how can you run so fast? Let me see, where is my good brother Elliott?"

Master Laurie took a step diagonally with the agility that old people shouldn't have, and the dead lord let Xia Houyan out.

A petite young woman in her early 20s then appeared in Xia Houyan's field of vision:

The woman was wearing a black dress and black dress, her hair seemed to be dyed violet with some flower dye, and her lips were painted a seductive cherry red;

Gorgeous makeup, petite body, and a childish but already glamorous appearance, Xia Houyan can only think of one career that is suitable for this girl-to be a female spy of the Kuomintang.

Before the lord of Frost Maple Ridge could react, Katerina, who had always been gentle and elegant, had already let out a low voice like a lion's roar:
"It's you?!"

"Ah!" the girl with red lips giggled, "Sister Katerina, you are here too! It's been a long time since we sisters have seen each other!"

The low purring sound from Katerina's throat made her look like a big cat with fur frowned and ready to attack.

Xia Houyan, who was still confused about the situation, took a peek at Alice, and was shocked to find that the female swordsman had already pressed her slender hand on the hilt of the "Light of the Sky"—for a weak man who was not a few years older than the lord For a young woman like a flower, Alice's stress response seems to be a bit excessive... right?

There were people present who were confused about the situation, and there were also people who quickly figured it out.

Knight Commander Cousins ​​took a step forward, pushing away the owner of the food stall in the old imperial capital who was watching the bustle, and then stood between the smiling red-lipped girl and the bewildered lord, and cleared his throat in embarrassment. :
"Ahem... Lord Lord, let me introduce you. This is Countess Isa Sandria of the Empire's Stigmata Land. Countess, this is..."

"I know, my good brother Elliott Igor!" Isa Sandria smiled sweetly, and then stretched out under the dumbfounded gazes of Alice, Katerina and Commander Cousins. With both arms, the lord fell onto the greasy dining table at the food stall, and pecked lightly on his mouth, "He's also my fiancé!"

"Sandria, don't let go of my brother," Katerina's voice was already filled with dangerous gunpowder, "just wait to eat Alice's blade!"

Isa Sandria leaned on the lord's chest, squinted at Alice Comstock, who was standing upright with her willow brows upside down and ready to strike with her amethyst-like eyes, and finally reluctantly stood up again. Straightening his body, the lord, who was still in shock, got up from the table in embarrassment.

"This...what the hell is going on?!" Xia Houyan licked his lips while looking around in fear, "Wh... what fiancé?"

"Ah?" Isa Sandria covered her vermilion lips exaggeratedly, "Didn't my good Uncle Vincent tell you, my poor Elliott?"

"Sandria, your Uncle Vincent has passed away." Katerina gritted her teeth.

"Call me Isa! Katerina, we are all a family!" Isa snorted lightly, and before Katerina got angry, she smiled at the lord, "Dear Elliott, I finally When you come to the imperial capital... how many days are you going to live in the city? Remember to come to my house in the unicorn area of ​​the imperial capital to play, your fiancée Yisha is free every day..."

When Isa Sandria said this, she suddenly rolled her eyes, and added with a reddish cheek:
"I'm free at night..."

"Countess Isa Sandria!" Katerina said loudly, "Our Igor family's convoy is about to enter the city, please don't get in the way here!"

Katerina seemed to deliberately bite the words "our Igor's family" very hard.

"Then I won't bother sister Katerina, Elliott, you have to remember to come to me!" Isa giggled, "Although we are not married yet, Isa will do for you what a wife should do Do...remember, 13 Lombard Street, Unicorn District!"

After Isa finished speaking, she kissed her finger, then reached out and pressed lightly on the mouth of the lord, leaving a brighter red mark on his lips, and then turned around like a butterfly holding the skirt After a circle, he followed a few servants happily and walked away.

It wasn't until this moment that Xia Houyan turned his head in fear, and not surprisingly, he found that the faces of several female companions had turned the color of a black pot.

Katerina took the handkerchief from Alice and wiped her brother's lips with resentment in her eyes.

Senior official Xiahou's mouth hurts.

"So...so..." The lord asked vaguely, "This fiancée thing...is it true or not?"

No one answered, only Master Laurie let out a long sigh with distant eyes:
"I really hope it's fake..."

Xia Houyan was dumbfounded.
