Conquest

In the city of Osgilia, just in the urban area of ​​the magnificent forest in the west of the city, there is a building that is not too eye-catching. Under the dark clouds, it is like a dish of gray color.

There were no pedestrians on the long street anymore. Only a few soldiers on the street hurried past.

The tall house door was closed tightly, but there was only one side door open. An old servant sat on a chair at the door, watching the sky lazily, sighing softly: "Come and go, go and go Come ... It's been decades since I saw no rest. "

The city's wealthy civilians are stunned by their future destiny. The old servant in a linen robe has an expression of ease, as if there is no trace of fear, and some are just a bit off-sighted.

It happened that when the 10,000 people were empty, outside the door of the house, a few expensive carriages stopped, and a few people in various costumes stood outside the door anxiously waiting for something.

These guys, looking at the dress, are afraid that they are usually those who are standing in the clouds. If anyone knows them, they will probably exclaim when they see them. The titles and official positions of these guys, if placed on weekdays, would be a condensed version of the Empire's central government.

But in this section, they frowned and stood at the door, watching the old servant hold an arrogant look, did not dare to do it, waited anxiously.

"Wait and wait, our old duke, no one!" The old servant sighed, and continued to shrink back to the chair, squinting in the cool breeze. The wind blew up the chaos on his head, but revealed a startling scar on his forehead.

In a large house in Funan, a silver-haired majestic old man stood sternly there, holding a whip in his hand, and snorted heavily from his nostril! The whip in his hand had already seen the blood, and also had a few broken horns! Snapped! The whip was thrown heavily on the ground, and the old man seemed to finally calm his anger, and looked up at the person in front of him: "Do you understand?"

The young man in front of him, a handsome face, but a pair of flying eyebrows, makes his appearance beyond handsome, a little more natural and noble. He had a few beef tendons on his body, and he was so sleepy that his clothes had been ripped a lot by the whip, blood had appeared in several places, and his skin was flesh. But in those eyes, he was still unwilling and unyielding, and looked at the old man with awe.

"Father, no matter what you say, I don't understand!" After a pause, the next sentence was even harder: "It's hard to see a loyal minister! What I said, everything was just to make myself worthy of me The last name of Minas !!! The Duke of Minas shook his body, looking at his son's stubborn eyes, those two eyes, at this moment seemed to poke into the old man's heart! The old duke finally relieved his breath and walked away slowly Going aside, sitting down by the arm of the chair, looking at his son's unyielding eyes, he suddenly smiled bitterly.

It was a short word before it came out of the mouth of the Duke of Minas.

Roddy looked at his own father, at the prestigious military veteran who had been prestigious for decades, and at the lame, even the tyrannical warlords, who had to be courteous by the Duke of the Empire one-third of their fathers in recent years His old age, his father's cowardice, his father's indifference, and the dissatisfaction accumulated over the years have suddenly burst out under the stimulation of this whip and blood.

"Father! I'm not stupid!" Roddy straightened his spine, stared at the Duke of Minas, and yelled, "What I think in your heart, you can't bury it! What I ask in my heart, you never understand ! "

The old prince squinted his eyes, and didn't know how many thoughts Mao had in his eyes. After hearing these two words from Roddy, he still shook his head slowly.

"Stupid ... and ... self-righteous!"

The old man's throat moved, he raised his eyelids again, and looked at the son in front of him, but his voice became softer, as if to say to himself \\ {6General:

"You think I'm old and I don't have the courage ... You thought that with your childish shoulders, you would be able to carry the glory of the Minas family ... You are against me everywhere, and in the past few years, you put a wave on your body and stained it with g Expressing my dissatisfaction with me, I also endured you. If you want to do something, I have the thoughts and help you get it done. Okay, if you want to build a cause, I will send you to the north! The name is Xia Yaleiming Boy, I will take you to his side. Hmm ... the only thing I did wrong was that Che You urged you to rush on the road! This great change, I have already arrived, the place of the imperial capital has become a vortex, and I have already Guessed. Well, Cavie Hill ’s old thing counted all his life. Although I do n’t know it, he can still get a little bit better. Seeking for life, hey! It ’s nothing more than asking for death. Just live! I wholeheartedly, I just want to throw you out of the imperial capital, far away from this vortex that will swallow countless people !!! Hum, that boy named Xia Leiming, Carvi Hill so fancy him, presumably It's been a long time since we're done, and only in that kid's body Side, is the safest place to go ... Unfortunately, you do n’t understand, you do n’t understand my plan, you just think that with blood and recklessness, it is called courage? Stupid ... self-righteous stupid one by one r one by one One"

At this point, the old duke seemed tired, raised his hand, and tried to touch the tea cup placed on the case, but he touched an empty one, and then he remembered that the tea cup had been broken into pieces by his own anger long ago. . After licking his chapped lips, he looked at Roddy again.

"... You blame me for keeping you at home. Hey! OK! Take the lead in your country, you little Minas, you will go to the town to fight bloody! You have to be loyal to the empire, you have to be a true brave! You have to do it yourself Hold the sword and protect this imperial capital !!! You blame me, you hate me, hate me for keeping you at home, hate my old man for not allowing you to go out, hate my old man for tying you up and shrink, hate my old man for holding you back You want to run out secretly today, you wore the armor hidden under the bed, you took the sword I gave you back then, and you also brought your eighteen guards! Haha! Good! As soon as you reach the city wall, you can see the sword. With your martial arts, you can always kill several rebel soldiers. When others see you, they will shout 'Duke Minas is mighty and worthy of the Minas family. People ... Hey! That's what you think, right ?! "

Roddy stayed blank, opened his mouth, looked at his father, but couldn't say a word.

What my father said was exactly what he thought. Originally, these words should have been rightly spoken by himself, but the father said it on his own behalf, and used that kind of understatement, even ...... even a little disdainful tone. Word by word, how can it become so unpleasant? Why does it seem to have a slight taste? !! "You're young, you're warm-hearted, and my old man doesn't blame you. He's even a little happy." The Duke of Minas shook his head. "It's a pity that the words that Caviesill said were pretty good! "

He looked up-staring at Roddy: "A few years ago, after a banquet, Cavill Hill commented on your sentence, do you remember?"

Roddy opened his mouth, his face suddenly flushed, and he gritted his teeth, but he said reluctantly: "Teacher Carvey Hill said me ... say me ..." He took a deep breath: " The pattern is biased, and you cannot be handsome or good! "

This comment, if someone else said, Roddy's arrogance is dismissive. But it is from the good fortune that has become almost legendary Cavie Hill, not handsome, or good! This sentence, if you evaluate others, is already a rare praise, but it is on his Rody! ... It's just cursing! !! His father, Duke Minas, was a veteran of the Imperial Army, and that was the true Empire commander! But when you reach yourself, you can only be a general, not handsome ... Isn't it pointing at your nose and saying that you are not bad? !! "Although Cavill Hill hasn't dealt with me for decades, I admire his vision. Now it seems that you really don't have enough vision ... Hum, you are still biased, or It's light! I'm afraid it's still in my face! To me, you are stupid! You are stupid! "

The old man said, the more solemn and deep the tone.

He looked around. There were only two fathers and sons in the room, and there were only a few loyal family iron guards in the yard outside the door. There was no one else, and the old man sneered.

"The glory of the Minas family ... Huh, the joke is simply a joke. You stupid boy, do n’t you, I do n’t want the glory of the Minas family? Since your sister married the crown prince, I It became a tortoise, no longer in charge of military affairs, it became a gantry placed on it. You said that I was weak, that I was old, that I was twilight ... Huh! Why do n’t you understand? The real one does n’t I hope that the glory of the Minas family will reappear, not my old man, but ... Your Majesty! "

After the Duke of Minas finally spoke the last word, the body couldn't help but sing, as if sighing: "The glory of the Minas family has reached the extreme in my hands.

The veteran of the First Army of the Empire, hum, is enough to talk about it. But what does this radiant light become when it reaches the extreme? "

The old man's eyes suddenly changed color suddenly, staring at his son, his voice was full of coldness: "Do you really want to make our home like the tulip family, broken off grandchildren!"

Roddy turned pale and stared at his father with wide eyes.

"The empire does not need any glory of the Minas family! Your majesty does not need any glory of the Minas family !!!! This principle, you did not understand then, do you still do not understand it now? Your sister is married to the Crown Prince This is the line that His Majesty has drawn for us and a picture! In the backyard of this line, the royal family can tolerate us! Once this happens, it is a disaster of blood and blood! Stupid! Stupid! I let you Read more books and look at the general history of the mainland ... Didn't you see a little way? "The old duke shook his head:" A thousand years after the founding of the empire, except for the period when the founding of the country ... which emperor is behind? When you are in office, you can let the foreign relatives lead the army ?! You do n’t understand, Your Majesty's meaning! Your sister becomes a princess and will become a queen in the future! Worried! But you can never take over the military power again !!! You are full of years of blood and service ... Well, don't you understand that our Minas family will never be connected with the army in the future! "

"That marriage that year, you are dissatisfied, I understand that you think I sold my daughter for peace ..." The old duke shook his head = "Last year's war against Odin. You are in my study I knelt outside for a day, and asked me to throw you to the army, to the north, to the front line, and I did not fulfill your wishes, and you doubled the waves, ruined your reputation, drank, played with women, and those of the imperial capital. I'm in trouble all day ... I thought to myself, let's stop, even if you really become a puppet, with your sister and me, how can you preserve the status of the family. You don't understand the truth, But your sister understands it! She, you see better than you! Later, the war is over, take a paper order, and Adrik comes to Beijing. You run to see Adrik again, begging him to get you into the army Here ... hum, you have learned to be clever! Knowing that begging me is useless, and ran to begging others! However, although Adric is upright, he is not a fool after all.

Alas, when your sister married the crown prince, you didn't understand why.

Well, at the beginning of this year, His Majesty lifted Adrik to the position of Minister of Military Affairs, and also brought his two ties to the position of General of the Corps. He drew up an Adrik system, and came out. Do you Don't understand yet! Empire ... no need for the Minas family to come back! !! This is what Your Majesty means! !! Roddy had listened, staring at his father, looking at the old father, as if talking to himself.

"No need ... really no need. Haha ... Do you remember? The night before Adrik came to see me, he was my student. But he stood outside the door. After one night, I didn't see him. He just saluted in front of the door of our house, and let the doorman bring me a sentence saying he understood. My old man was relieved ...

Huh, although Adrik is upright, he is smarter than you! He understood that His Majesty lifted him up to replace me! "

"Father, father, I don't understand, Your Majesty ..." Roddy stuttered.

"I don't understand what? I don't understand why your Majesty abandoned our Minas family and took Adrik to power? Why not take my old man like a ready-made army veteran? Or" Why not train you a rising star? "Duke Minas A smile, but a little deep! He stared at his son, took a deep breath, but these last two words made Roddy's heart tremble! "... Think about it carefully! If your Majesty holds Adrik high, you can also hold someone else to balance him! At that time, it will be better to hold Salem Bonelli, or it will be against a loyal noble family. Adri Although Ke is thriving, after all, it is not as good as my prestige. Holding him up, the royal family has the power to limit him! But if ... the emperor holds us Minas ... if you look at the entire empire, where can you find a qualified enough Can he limit me with the characters of my old man's ring? "

thump! After listening to this sentence, Di Shangdi was originally kneeling on the ground, but suddenly fell back on the floor! Staring at his father with wide eyes, hesitant to say a word! "To blame ... just blame you for being born in our Minas family. Don't mention the glory of the Minas family, hey, because your last name is Minas, so you better not touch any military power in your life. Already.

This is your mission as a member of the Minas family! "

The father and son looked at each other for a long time, but this time, Roddy's eyes could no longer see a trace of fiery and eager, and the only thing left was the deep loneliness and solitude.

Finally, there was a rush of footsteps in the promenade outside the door. A servant wearing a samurai robe rushed in. When he came in, he had a little dignity on his face: "Master Duke ... Menao Minas The duke's face sank, and he looked at the servant, coldly: "I haven't said it. No matter who asks for it, it's all blocked!" "

With the news of the defeat of the southern reinforcements last night, the hearts of the people in the empire relaxed, and many people began to think of ways to prepare for it. Seeing that the Byzantine ship was afraid of sinking, at this time, loyalty Of course there are deaths, but there are also many who are thinking of him.

The warlord party in the city has long been cleaned up. At this time, it is very rare to want to get on the road with Tuomen Road.

Some people, thinking about it, suddenly remembered that the veteran of Duke Minas was coming.

No matter whether the empire persists or the rebels enter the city, others may be terribly dead, but the old duke is as stable as a rock.

Nothing else, only for the old duke's life, and his prestige in the army, even the governors of the former Tema military district among the rebels, many of whom served under the old duke Some even have friendship with teachers and students with the old duke.

Even if the calamity is coming, the old duke here is still a way of life! Since last night, many interested people have begun to place the Duke of Minas, but the old Duke has ordered the portal to be closed, no matter who it is, it will be blocked from the outside.

The servant who came in, after being rebuked by the old duke, hurriedly whispered: "My lord ... it was Salumbonili who sent here, and it was the eldest son of the prime minister! Salumbonili sent his son coming?

The Duke of Minas froze, and immediately felt a strong uneasiness in his heart! Others come to see themselves, perhaps just to find ways to prepare for the coming day. But ... Saron; a Nilly would never! The Solom family is the leader of the aristocratic faction, and it is not common with the military stuffy party, others will shake ... But the only way for Salem Bonelli is to hold the Byzantine Empire and continue to go! There is no other way! "People!" The old duke asked subconsciously.

"It's gone." The servant bowed his head and replied: "The prime minister's son came only to bring a sentence, it is the prime minister who entrusted you to tell you ..."

"what?"

The servant's face was also a bit awesome, saying: "The Prime Minister has said in a word, Your Majesty has already been, already one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one."

"What the hell!" The old duke suddenly stared, suddenly the majesty of the body, the stinging servant quickly bent down, and quickly said: "Your Majesty granted him all the powers of defense in the city, the Lord Prime Minister said that he had no military strategy, so he thought He can hire Master Roddy as a military adviser to his staff.

Upon hearing this, the old duke's face suddenly collapsed! He stepped back a few steps, as if he wanted to sit in a chair, but this time, he sat in an empty space, and his heart fell into a mess. The old man immediately wanted to get up subconsciously, only to move his arm, but suddenly opened his mouth, a sip of blood sprayed out! !! On the one hand, Roddy was also tied with a tendon rope. When he saw his father spit and spit blood, he exclaimed, his arms twitched, and a few crackling sounds. The tendon on his body broke instantly. Striding to his father's side, he picked up the old man and put it on the chair half-lying down, and quickly wiped his chest.

"Father! Father! Duke Minas opened his eyelids, red blood stains remained on his beard corners, looked at his son, took a deep breath, his voice was weak:" Help me ... "

"Father ~ www.readwn.com ~ You just vomited blood ..." Roddy looked anxiously.

"Miscellaneous account !!!" The old man stared abruptly, the light in his eyes stabbed people so that he would not dare to force Roddy to violate it? Quickly set the old man upright and sit upright. The old man closed his eyes, and it sinked for a few seconds. When he opened the eyes, his eyes were all light, one was complexion, but the other was bloodless! "Bai Ma, gather people ... bring my robes !! And ... the guys outside the door, let them go, no longer, the stick to beat! All broke up! Hurry!" The old man quickly A few orders were given, and the servant under his control was still hesitant. The old duke snorted heavily: "It's a military order!"

Immediately, the servant straightened his chest, and made a polite gesture, turned around and strode out, killing himself! Apparently, the servants in the Minas family are relatives of his army in the past. "His Majesty authorized Salem Bonelli ... The Prime Minister hired you to be an incompetent military strategy consultant ..." Old Duke Looked at his son: "Do you know what it means?"

Roddy shook his head anxiously.

"Yes ... Thou Gu!" The old duke suddenly burst into tears in his eyes: "Your Majesty, you are going to [two children today, one hundred thousand words, is it enough?"
