Conquest

Chapter 556 [Rocks Who Run Away]

[Yes, I am back, happy Chinese New Year!

It disappeared for six months, I'm sorry, sorry. In the past six months, I handled some of my personal affairs and recuperated my body. Well, by the way, I got married, huh. The wedding photos were sent in the group, and interested siblings can go and see.

Anyway, I am back and now I feel like I am back to full value.

What is certain is that I will not disappear again until the whole country is hunted.

Sorry everyone, and thank you all for waiting!

Let you wait! 】

Here is the text

...

"Hell!"

Ruhr muttered on the horse's back, wiping his nose snot blown by the cold wind.

The horse team is still speeding on the road, and each cavalry is exhausted. Even Luer's superb riding and deep strength, such a long-distance running for several days, is really overwhelming.

Fortunately, this journey is coming to an end, but ...

To meet these people, I am afraid that it is not a delicious hot meal, but a cold sword ...

It's really his!

Ruhr cursed fiercely, and then sprayed the world's most vicious curse on the name that had been cursed hundreds of times in his heart.

That stupid emperor who should be hit by a thousand swords!

How stupid is it to do this stupid * thing! !!

※※※

When it was getting dark, the advancing horse team was finally stopped, and a team of cavalry came over, blocking the way. Earlier, Ruhr had been instructed, and his guards did not make excessive moves, but instead sent two cavalrymen to hold the banner to negotiate.

Ruhr finally stopped the horse, took a few breaths, and looked at the cavalry blocked by the team from afar. He didn't know what it was like.

This team of cavalry is obviously wearing the armor of the empire, but some changes have been made to the nuances. The flag is no longer the eagle flag of the empire, but the national emblem of the Minas family.

(Teacher, it seems ironclad to start another stove.)

Ruhr sighed in his heart, and became less and less hopeful of his trip south.

However, in just a few months, this very talented teacher has swallowed up the entire army of the Southern Expedition, tens of thousands of troops, plus the expansion of these months, now the old duke has been sitting in the south The land of each county has more than 100,000 belts. Although a large number of them are newly recruited new army and private army serving various nobles, the overall strength is undoubtedly far beyond that of the small central city of the imperial capital.

At this time, he also made a move to anger the other party ... Ruhr really wondered if he could go back on his southbound trip.

Before traveling, Ruhr had already told Adrik about his concerns, but Adrik answered frankly:

"I know the hope is slim, and even I am in the same mood as you now, I really wish I could kick the **** in the palace with boots, but ... Ruer, please understand that we have no choice! We cannot stand a civil war The hope of saving peace, even if it is only one ten thousandth, we have to do it! If I can, I would like to go to the south side to see the teacher in person, but in the case of the imperial capital, I ca n’t leave at all! The stupid man in the palace might be doing something stupid, so ... "

So only Laozi Nan went down and wiped this thing! !!

That **** emperor, why send someone to kill the young grandson of the Duke of Minas!

How much threat can that little child have? Magician? cut! The National Games of the Empire are no longer in the hands of individual people! Not to mention that if there is another magician in the Minas family, even if there is another strong one, what will happen?

These chaotic thoughts are turning in my head, and I have already negotiated.

A Southern Army cavalry officer was taken to Ruhr's horse. Although the opponent was only a small officer, he obviously did not show much respect to Ruhr wearing the general's uniform, and did not even dispose of him, only on horseback. Raised his hand-it is clear that the army in the south has long lost sight of the emperor.

"Sir." The indifferent Southern officer stared at Ruhr's eyes: "I am here to meet you on the orders of Lord Duke and take you to Lord Duke."

Ruhr raised an eyebrow. "Master Duke ... know I'm here?"

There was a little pride in the officer's face: "On the fourth day of your departure, the Lord Duke has received the news."

The content of this sentence exposed Ruhr even more frowning.

Obviously, the Duke of Minas has more local control than he expected.

"Master Duke learned that you are here and has already greeted you from the capital. Now the Lord is waiting for you in Nolan City in front of you." The officer said here, raising his hand and making a please gesture.

Ruhr twitched, crooked his head toward the people around him, and slowly walked along the road.

※※※

Nolan City is not a big city in the south.

But when Ruhr came to the city, he already understood one thing: The Duke of Minas was obviously not so easy to come here to meet himself!

The entire city of Nolan seems to have almost become a huge military camp!

The city of Ruhr is no stranger. Many years ago, when he was just an intermediate officer, he performed a spring exercise in a certain year and once came to this small town in the south with the army. The population here is only 10,000, but the geographical location is the main road south. Most importantly, it is not too far away from the emperor.

If you march on horseback, you can reach the imperial capital within ten days.

At this moment, there are large and small military camps outside Nolan City. Although the specific number is not known, there are at least twenty or more flag regiments just looking at the banner.

This was already more than half the strength of the Duke of Minas.

The barracks inside and outside the city are in a busy and killing atmosphere. The city defense is obviously much stricter. Even if there is a welcoming team sent by the Duke of Minas, when entering the city, the army guards are strictly inspected Warrant and Ruhr's team.

The armor was obviously a new good, and the swords were sharpened.

Obviously, this is a pre-war tension!

Ruhr met the Duke of Minas in the temporary commander's office in the city-this temporary commander's office changed from the former garrison house, a tense atmosphere, the various ranks of officers and clerks, In the busy busyness, Ruhr was half a lifetime, and naturally he could see what the other side was busy with!

Military supplies, forage, ordnance, supplies, logistics ...

When he finally met the old duke, Ruhr's heart was a little bit more confused!

The Duke of Minas looked emaciated. He had gray hair, but it turned into half black and white. The old man looked at least ten years younger than he was in the capital.

And ... he was wearing a uniform!

Skinny leather light armor, bright red cloaks, riding boots ... swords hanging around the waist are definitely not the goods used by the nobles to decorate, but the real weapon.

Ruhr took a deep breath and leaned down to salute.

"teacher!"

The Duke of Minas stood there with no expression on his face. After Ruhr leaned over and saluting, the old man stared at Ruhr's eyes for a long time before the corners of his mouth finally slowly, slowly, a smile appeared Come.

"Ruhr, I've always been curious, you have been running in the army to fight, but for so many years, you have not been able to lose weight."

Ruhr seemed to hesitate for a moment—the indulgence of the old duke seemed to make him unresponsive for a moment.

The Duke of Minas had slowly approached Ruhr and patted the fat man's shoulder: "Is the injury all over?"

"... I can't die anyway," Ruhr muttered, and smiled bitterly: "It's you, adults, that's getting younger."

"Oh?" The Duke of Minas glanced at Ruhr with a meaningful smile, but what he said made Ruhr startled!

"You young? Are you talking about my hair?" The old duke's tone seemed calm, but it seemed to have a deep meaning: "In the imperial capital, I often secretly dyed my hair instead of blackening it, but Black beard and hair dyed white! Only an 'old' Duke of Minas can reassure the rifle emperor, and that young little fellow! If I have been in the Imperial City all these years, I will be so lively Looks like, I'm afraid I can't live today! I'm afraid that before the death of the Riding Emperor, I will send someone to quietly give me a glass of poisonous wine. "

Dyeing ... Dying black hair on purpose ...

There was a chill in Ruhr's heart.

He didn't answer this, just smiled bitterly.

The Duke of Minas looked at Ruhr's smile, and slowly shook his head: "Ruhr, your courage is much smaller than before."

He turned and walked in, and Ruhr immediately followed him.

As soon as they entered the hall, the old man almost made Ruhr stand up again with a word.

"When you entered the city, did you see what it looked like?"

"Look, see." Ruhr took a deep breath and raised his spirit to deal with the sharp eyes of the Duke of Minas.

"What's my military appearance? Is it majestic?"

"Uh ..." Ruhr thought about it, and decided to be honest: "It looks good, but it is worse than the Central Army."

"Hehe." The old man didn't mind, smiled lightly: "The rest of the Central Army's old foundation is in the hands of Adrik, which is really good, but the quantity, it can be astonishing to bring in a corps. Now, although these people in my hand are a little worse, if the two armies are duel, the siege can also surround him. "

"... Yes." Ruhr nodded.

Of course, Ruhr will not doubt the talent of the Duke of Minas. However, in half a year, the integration of the army in the south has become quite meteorological. If we wait a few months ...

"Spring plough has passed." The old man said lightly: "When the autumn harvest comes, the food I have hoarded is enough to supply half a year for the army of 100,000 troops. Although the grain production in the south does not have the grain production areas in the north of Xia There are so many, but the South has not experienced war, and the wealth and grain hoarded in the local area are all a lot ... I do n’t know how much Adreke, the Imperial Capital, has in his hand now? "

A total of less than 20,000 troops, including 10,000 of the old army of the Central Army. Ordnance and forage depend on the aid of the Landis ...

Ruhr muttered.

Suddenly, the fat man was in a panic, and decided that he could not continue to be so passive. He raised his head and asked, "Teacher, what you mean to me means ..."

"That being the case, why did the kid in the Karenma family do such a stupid thing to provoke me?"

The duke of Minas sank immediately.

The kid of the Krumma family? Ruhr tasted the title.

Obviously, the old duke was not even in the mood to pretend. The little emperor in the emperor's capital is in his mouth, but it is "the kid".

"You know, the stupidity of some people cannot always be measured by ordinary people."

Ruhr's answer made the Duke of Minas laugh.

He looked at the fat man: "So you didn't come to see me on behalf of that stupid boy?"

"I'm here on behalf of Adrik!" Although Ruhr was sighing, the answer was unequivocal, very straightforward, and he didn't dare to hesitate.

"Very good." The Duke of Minas nodded, and seemed quite satisfied, but in the words that followed, there was a hint of murder: "If you came on behalf of that stupid little emperor, you would see Without me, your skull is already hung on the wall! "

Faced with this murderous remark, Ruhr gave a haha: "Teacher, you don't need to treat me like this, anyway, I'm also a disciple who you tuned up."

"Oh?" The old man glanced at Ruhr without a smile on his face: "Ruhr, how many years have you been following me?"

"Uh ..." Ruhr thought about it, and said sincerely, "I was a cook in your house when I was young. Later, I was favored by you, cultivated me, and sent me to the military academy. I went step by step In the army, it's all your teachings. It's been over twenty years since you counted. "

"Well, it's been more than two decades." Duke Minas said lightly: "Unfortunately, for more than two decades, although a few of you guys have grown up well, you Ruhr can be regarded as the empire now counting over A famous general, but just the sentence you just said is not enough. "

"Uh?"

"Huh." The old man sneered: "Mu say you are my disciple, if you really want to stop in front of me today, I will not hesitate to cut off your skull! How can we consider the big event? A little bit private! Huh, so I said, no matter you or Adrik, it's still far behind! "

The muscles in Ruhr's eyes jumped.

"In order to make a big deal, we must not hesitate to make a decisive decision." The Duke of Minas said firmly: "If it is necessary, whether it is you or Adrik, I will not hesitate to kill it! And that guy from Adrik, obviously still has a few women's love! Well, if I were in his position, there were more than a dozen ways to end the war and it would never let the situation collapse to the present situation! "

"Teacher, Adrik is just loyal to the Empire." Ruhr sighed.

"Loyal? Is it a country or a family?" The Duke of Minas sneered, but his tone became more subtle!

"The Karenma family has been sitting in this Byzantine empire for hundreds of years, and it is time to make a substitution."

Ruhr could not help but stood up when he heard this!

If all the actions before the old man could barely be explained by secession, then this sentence now clearly reveals that he has replaced his mind! !!

"Teacher! Are you really determined to do this?"

Ruhr's forehead was sweating and his complexion turned blue.

The Duke of Minas was silent for a while, and it seemed that he did not care about Ruhr's questioning. After a few moments of silence, he suddenly whispered: "Ruhr, you have been with me for so many years ... The Nas family is full, how loyal is it to the empire? How loyal is it to his Karenma family? "

"..." Ruhr was silent.

"My Minas family has been serving the country for generations. My old man's father died in the northern part of the Empire. I joined the army when I was less than 20 years old. When I joined the army, the rifle emperor did not even inherit the throne. !Humph!"

The Duke of Minas continued slowly: "The army with the same qualifications as me is old, and many years ago became the governor of a district, and the veritable cemetery was king! If I wanted to take this step in the past, it would be decades ago. Before, I had become a warlord governor, with power in his hands, why was he trapped in the emperor for so many years, and was jealous of the father and son of the two generations of emperors! An old-fashioned guy, pretending to be deaf and dumb, trapped himself in the cell of the imperial capital! For loyalty to this country! I also gave my most beloved daughter to the Karenma family! But later What do I get "

"Twenty years! How many years are there in a man's life? If I was forty, I would continue to command the Emperor team. With my energy and talent, I have 70% confidence that I can regain the mountains and mountains. Which governor of those places is my opponent? If the old rifle emperor trusts me, it is like the founding emperor trusts tulips. How can this country be so fragmented now! Give me ten years and I have Faith resurrects this empire! "

"But, no! From the beginning to the end of the Karenma family, they only believed in themselves! They would doubt all of them! When I was fighting for power, I once stood tightly next to the rifle emperor. Supported him! But after his throne became stable, he couldn't wait to kick me out of the army! "

"Before I was forty years old, I was worthy of such an empire, worthy of his Kelmar family!"

Every word of the Duke of Minas fell into Ruhr's heart fiercely, Ruhr was silent.

The fat man knew very well that he had run away for his southbound trip.

He didn't even have time to explain to the old duke why the Emperor of Tudor ordered the assassination of Duke's grandson, David.

And the Duke of Minas was not even interested in asking this question at all!

In the mind of the Duke of Minas, he had already made up his mind to rebel.

In Emperor Capital, it doesn't matter if the emperor kills little David. At most, it just becomes an incentive for the old duke to do it in advance.

※※※

Ruhr knew he didn't have to say anything more. The old man didn't tie him up and cut it with a knife.

The Duke of Minas also had no intention at all to negotiate with Ruhr. Instead, he arranged a dinner party and invited Ruhr to get drunk together-Ruhr did not refuse, but he wanted to understand the fat man in the future, and realized that this is likely to be I drank with my teacher for the last time.

But when the dinner started, Ruhr couldn't help but exclaim when the side door of the restaurant opened and a thin figure came out of it!

"what!"

Ruhr's eyes were wide and he stared at the child who came out of the door.

"Dai, David!" The fat man immediately turned his head to stare at the Duke of Minas, and then the fat man began to smile bitterly: "It turns out ... you already brought the child here ..." Then the fat man gritted his teeth: "What about Lear? Are you here? "

"Not only Lear." The Duke of Minas summoned his grandson to his side, and touched the child's hair, and smiled lightly: "In fact, this child was only sent to me three days ago, just to him The people who came here were not Lear. "

Two figures slowly came out of the side door.

"General Ruhr, long time no see."

"Hello General Ruhr!"

Dax and Doodor were standing in front of Ruhr, and Dax smiled with a smile on his face, but Doodor was a little scared.

"You guys ..." Ruhr looked at the two and finally laughed bitterly, then the fat man suddenly slammed the table and burst out laughing! !!

"Hahahahahaha !!!"

Looking at the fat man who suddenly laughed, the Duke of Minas froze.

Ruhr laughed for a long time, then turned around and looked at the Duke, bowed and said: "Teacher, I see! That's it! Haha! Unexpectedly, you are hooked with the people of Charia! It seems that the capital The trend is long gone. "

Speaking of which, Ruhr grabbed the jug on the table, raised his neck and grumbled, and then threw the jug and sighed, "Nothing, I understand now!"

He glanced at Dodor, then Dax, and finally his eyes fell on Dax: "Although I'm not familiar with you, thankfully I still know something about you, Dodoro. It ’s just a classmate. Are these things you planned out? ”

Dax bent a bow and smiled proudly: "Sir, I am just to be worthy of the salary of every copper plate that Charya boss gave me."

"Good way." Ruhr sneered: "Break the balance in the south, and your northern army has the opportunity to step in."

He turned to look at the Duke of Minas again: "It's my teacher. Don't you understand that the Northern Army is now the strongest and powerful one. His army and territory are second to none. How does the Japanese Northern Army move south? "

The old man smiled slightly: "It is nothing more than a fight on the battlefield. In this world, everyone is fighting for each other! Whoever wins will belong to whom!"

The old man had stood up, looked at Ruhr, looked at his legs, and raised his fingers on his knees!

"Since the day I started with the Emperor's leader south, I have swear in my heart! I will never kneel his Karenma family in this life, these legs!"

This last sentence was decisive, but it made Luer suddenly startled!

Never kneel again!

Never kneel again! !!

"Good!" Ruhr laughed three times, grabbed a hip flask, poured it into his neck in one breath, and swiped **** his mouth, and laughed, "The teacher's pride will not diminish his youth!"

After that, the fat man turned and left, and the Duke of Minas watched the fat man turn around with determination. He seemed to be about to speak, but finally sighed.

It was Dax, seeing the fat man approaching the door, he couldn't help but said, "General Ruhr."

"How?" Ruhr suddenly turned back. "Can't the teacher keep me here?"

The Duke of Minas shook his head.

Dax laughed: "General Ruhr, you are also a hero of Emperor China. I know that you and our Xia boss have no sympathy. If you are willing to go back to the north with us, let us say that you are also the commander of a regiment. Go back to the boring emperor to bury the emperor? "

"Oh!" Ruhr cursed with a smile: "If I wanted to go to the north, I would have already gone. I did n’t go to the emperor to bury the **** little emperor! I had already helped him kill the emperor and take me to Roderia The night that the Corps ran out, I owed him the royal family and paid it off! I returned to the imperial capital to see if I could pull out another person who was going to be buried! "

Minas frowned, looking at Ruhr: "I know Adrik most about his temperament, I'm afraid ..."

"Teacher, you can kill ruthlessly, but I can't do it." Ruhr sighed. "As you said, if you meet on the battlefield in the future, it will be nothing more than a fight. But the teacher ... "

At this point, the fat man paused deliberately, a narrow smile appeared on his face, but his tone was very serious.

"... I'm not optimistic about you between you and that guy in the north!"

※※※

"Come on, I'm bullish on you, kid."

Hesting was full of mockery, and Charlie sneezed fiercely.

With a snoring sound, a spirit came on his face, Charlie slightly turned his head, and a sharp arrow swept across his ear. Charlie rolled over and jumped onto the roof of the carport, held up a bow, and heard the bowstring rang, in the distance There was another scream in the woods, and Xia yelled out, "Old man, do you just sit and watch a show like this?"

Hesting sat in the carport with his knees crossed, holding a leather pouch in one hand, and the three-sided rifle was hidden in a leather holster and placed horizontally on his legs. Leisurely, took a sip of wine, and laughed: "What if you don't sit and watch the theater, can you still do this boring thing with you?"

"My shit!" Xia yelled: "If the convoy is dead ~ www.readwn.com ~ We have no guide and don't know how much more we have to go to find the holy city of Babylon."

Hastings was about to speak, and suddenly a streamer flew in, but just pierced the wine bag in his hand, and the drink immediately dripped out. He wasn't angry, but put his mouth into the broken mouth and drank it. "You kill you, don't bother me to drink."

Xia Ya was helpless, with bows in his hands, and the screams of the forest kept screaming.

In this vast forest, the caravan has shrunk into a ball, using the carriage's carriages to form a battle. The caravans, regardless of their age, took out their blade weapons, and the samurai took their bows and hid arrows between the carriages.

In the woods, you can see a black shadow passing through the cracks of branches and leaves, the figure is sharp and sturdy.

It was the captain of the caravan, but it was unlucky that he was shot through the neck with an arrow as early as the first wave of attack. At this moment, another businessman in the convoy, a guy familiar with Charlie along the way, was already lying on the side. When he got under the carriage, the fart rolled into urine, and he kept cursing: "These **** black elves! These **** jungle robbers !!"
