Chapter 576 [This Day Can't Go By]
The sky's snowflakes stained the contours of the Empire City with a layer of silent white.
This is the first snow of the year, the guard general of the Wang Cheng Kingsguard of the city defense has put a thick leather jacket in his armor, the guard of the city, the spear in his hand is also under the weather with a faint frost. Officers toured the city gates from time to time, rubbing their hands in anger, and then cursing the damned cold weather.
The snow this year seems to be coming a lot earlier than in previous years. Strangely enough, all the emperors in the middle of the continent have fallen heavy snowfall, but the northern part of the continent, where the Kabaski line of defense is, has not.
The northwest wind for a while made the soldier unbearably shrink and shrink his head, impatiently watching the hourglass on the city gate and calculating his shift time.
There are not many people on the road, this weather, some sections of the official road outside the city are said to have been blocked by heavy snow, and last night a group of unlucky close guards were transferred out to shovel snow. I hear a lot of merchants are blocked more than a dozen miles away in Weicheng, so I don't think they're going into town until the snow clears the roads.
At this time, a group of cavalry came from far away from the road, the leading knight in leather armor, in such cold weather, without a leather jacket, just put a bright red cape outside, horse racing, full of force.
And with nearly a hundred horsemen behind them, all horsemen straightened their backs with long bows on their backs and cavalry faces with pride and horses followed by a hound running in the snow.
While the cavalry was in the horse, they suddenly surrounded a man in the middle, a group of tall horses with pure white fur in the middle. At first glance, they were born from a good battle in the northwest of the mainland, and a little figure on the horse, in a golden leather jacket, wearing a leather holster, also hung a delicate short bow behind him, the crowd embraced him, the man was noble, and the corner of his mouth contained a slightly colder chill than the weather.
The cavalry had not approached the gate, and the guards at the gate saw the flag and immediately bent down.
In the sound of "Hail, Your Majesty”, the horseman was like a cyclone, his head rushed in, his horseshoe trampled, wet mud and snow on the ground, splattered on the kneeling guard's neck, but no one dared speak.
When this group of cavalry entered the city, the guards under the city gate stood up. Some officers looked back at the city and sighed low: “I'm afraid our little majesty is in a bad mood today. ”
“In this snowy weather, you're afraid to hunt out of town, so there's nothing to be gained.” Another officer speculated, frowning: “Your Majesty has been out hunting every day these days, this time it seems to be a little more...”
“Shut up!” The slightly higher ranking officer immediately changed colour, cold-blooded: “The royal affair, too, is you and I can talk freely! ”
•
Prince Charlie... Oh no, it should be His Majesty Emperor Charlie, under the crowd of many knights, flew all the way up the long street of Emperor Du, collided directly, pedestrians on the road heard the running horseshoe, quickly spread out.
After snowfall, the road grew muddy, at a street block, suddenly heard the horses hissing, but seemed to trample on the thick ice and snow, and suddenly slipped underfoot...
With a thump, Charlie fell as soon as he crooked. Fortunately, he grabbed the reins very firmly and hung himself on the horse, but finally didn't land.
Already beside him, the well-armed Royal Forest Army walked over and grabbed the reins, calmed the shocked horse and quickly lifted His Majesty the noble Emperor down.
After the young Emperor Charlie landed, his young face was filled with anger, and suddenly a knight pushed away from him, grabbing the horse hard and smoking it hard towards his ride!
“Animal!! Bastard!! Don't you dare bully me!! You're bullying me too! ”
He is still young and underpowered, but this hateful smoke still makes the horse hiss. The rider next to him looked at His Majesty and beat the horse, but he dared not stop it. Only everyone got off the horse and stood beside him.
When Charlie finished smoking a whip, he gasped crudely and looked at the face under the surrounding area. His little face revealed a little haze, but he took a deep breath and tried to squeeze out a little smile, slowly: “This horse startled me, you don't have to be so afraid. Well, in this cold weather, don't stand here drinking wind. Go back to the palace early. Everyone will be rewarded for hunting with me today. ”
Saying, he looked at his riding with hatred. The horse's white fur was flogged with a lot of blood, but he could not ride. The knight's head hurried to bring his horse to the little emperor.
“Go back and kill the horse. There's no prey today. Let's split the horse meat.” Little Charlie whispered.
But there was also a reckless knight who made himself smart and whispered a reminder: "Your Majesty, this horse is your favorite... a gift from the Duke of Tulips...”
Charlie, who had turned his back on his horse, looked at the man with his mouth under fire and immediately gave birth to a smile: "Oh, yes, it was a gift from the teacher. However, if the horse trainer fails in his duties, he will also be punished if he returns. ”
When he shook the rope, he suddenly asked: "It's almost New Year's Eve. I heard the teacher brought the teacher and mother to the Emperor. The day should be almost up. The teacher has been sick for many days, and I haven't visited him. He's fine today, so let's go to the Tulip Duchess. ”
He is the emperor's honor, although he has not yet taken power, but where do these Knights of the Royal Forest Army dare to disobey his will, hurry forward and turn towards the Tulip Duke's house.

In a large courtyard, not a single attendant, Dewey sat in a wheelchair, under the eaves, looking at the snowflakes, as if thinking about something.
Heavy snow began the day before yesterday, and two days later, under the roof of the house hung a crystal clear ice cream, and Dewey looked as if the ice cream was twitching.
A few days ago, the Southern Ocean came to the palace as a messenger and was welcomed into the palace by the Regent as a national salute, which almost acquiesced in the status of the “United Kingdom” of the Southern Ocean, and the Roland Empire recognized that it was a nation of the Southern Ocean.
Although this has caused a lot of controversy, after all, the empire has been rampant for decades, which is considered “disgraceful” to many people, but the Minister of Finance still smiles everyday - after all, the money that falls into his pocket is the real deal!
As the Empire's chief financial housekeeper, only this old man understands that there is now a war in the north of the Empire and that the pressure of financial strain has reached such a point.
“Nice snow. Rui Xue Zhaofeng year, hope to have a good completion next year.” Dewey sighed.
Chris is still in the tulip-like yard on Broken Back Mountain. With crystal falls, the first batch of incubated little vultures have grown to about two years of age in a short time, and the first batch of vulture knights are already in flight and battle training.
And White River sad... this guy came to Emperor, but only stayed here for a few days, ran to see Blue Haiyue, one night, without saying goodbye, but this time he didn't even leave a word.
This wizard king, he just walked away.
On the issue of the Messenger of the Southern Ocean in the previous days, there was a noise over the hall, although Old Chancellor Robustschel stood up to the Minister of Finance at a critical juncture, in front of the elder, everyone had to give him a few minutes of face. Behind it, however, there are still many who disagree with the Regent's statement.
And on that occasion, the most subtle thing was that the Old Chancellor supported the Minister of Finance. But his niece's son-in-law, the current Imperial Minister of Military Affairs, Camisillo, accidentally remained silent.
The army is hawkish, the old prime minister is pigeon. Camisillo was caught in the middle, but he had to be bored to make a fortune. After all, his silence was clearly a good way to protect himself at a time when he was only in command of the commander-in-chief, with insufficient qualifications, and far from being able to quell the old qualified generals. Want to come —— also acquiesced by the old prime minister.
The old man can do the sinner's thing himself. Is Camisillo their family's hope for the future, or is it better not to get into the basin?
And then something happened, and the Nanyang messenger, after meeting the Regent and Emperor in the palace, stayed for three days in the emperor, and the last night, he quietly sent a letter to the Duke of Tulip.
This letter was written by Lufik, now King of the United Kingdom of the South. This little slave and marv of Dewey, after three years of returning home, gradually stabilized his position. If you want to come, the Hook Hook Hook Hoop in the Southern Ocean shouldn't be as powerful as the Empire. Rufik was wet around Dewey for a long time, and when he grew up, once he got the hang of it, he wasn't one of those stupid tribal chiefs who could handle it.
Lufik's tone was humble in this letter, in which he respectfully referred to Dewey as "master”, even though he was already the king's lord.
But Duvi burned it immediately after reading it, and after asking the messenger a few words, he made sure that nobody had read it, and that the messenger had no knowledge of Duvi's relationship with Lufik, but had been instructed to bring it with him, when he turned his face on the spot and had the messenger's stick beaten out of the Duke's house.
Little Zach was a little confused afterwards, and Dewey grinned: “What about the Southern Ocean, didn't the palace know that we had a nexus with the Southern Ocean? At a time like this, I can't hide back. How can I crash up? This messenger came to me tonight, and I was afraid of not knowing how many eyes were staring out in the street! Nothing else, if someone attacked, said it was me who colluded with the outsider, although I couldn't do anything about it, but always had a problem with the tongue. In the future, we need to do less about the Southern Ocean. ”
“But... this annual gain... unfortunately! We were talking privately with the South Yang, subjugating them to the books and offering them every year. This money could have gone into our pockets. Why would they send a big banner to Dido? With you in Dido, the Southern Ocean expedition is not an expedition, Your Highness still listens to you? ”
“Stupid.” Dewey immediately blamed politely: “Do we need money now? Nanyang this place, hold it in your hand for a while, earn some extra lumps, can you expect to hold it in your hand forever? I'm Ken. Regent Ken? ”
After a pause, he added: "Lufik went out of my house, and only a limited number of three or four people knew the secret, which the Regent could never know. This is a big taboo. If you don't understand this, you don't have to hang out with me. ”
Little Zach smiled. “I get it. ”
Then Dewey gave another order: this winter, the Northwest Religious Dedication Tax, all withheld! And it's an outright rejection! The so-called outright refusal is to publish the book publicly and not pay taxes!
Little Zach was somewhat worried: “Only on the temple side...”
“Hmm, I am the archbishop of the Northwest Diocese. If there is a problem, the Church cannot go to the palace to sue me, it can only question me with the internal system of the temple. I'd like to see if the Pope dares to ask me. If he comes, we'll deduct next spring's taxes! ”
For the Church to still stare at itself and spy on its own Broken Back Mountain courtyard, Dewey always has to show the other party a little color.
Indeed, after many days, the Church did not even say a word and put up with the matter.
It is clear to all that the Church does not lack this money, but Dewey blatantly loses the face of the Church, and everyone sees it clearly.
Looking at the ice cream of the roof, Dewey suddenly sighed gently.
He pressed his finger against the wheelchair armrest and moved - his body finally got a little better these days. The degree of physical recovery, he can already barely control his upper body for some simple daily activities, like eating with knives and forks, or carrying a glass of wine or a book or something. It's just something gravity can't do.
Below the waist, there is still no movement.
Shit... this is no longer a eunuch... Dewey's depressed thoughts.
Soon his wife will come from the northwest, almost a year each, so called little don't win the newlyweds, but how can you live like this??
The Duke's mood got restless.
