Chapter 593 [Eastern Fire]

This is a man who is already old, but at this moment, his eyes are bright as if they can shine straight into the human heart.

But Camisillo deliberately drowned his head and did not look at each other. He lowered his head and said a few words:

“Have you forgotten... I am your niece's grandson. This home... will always be mine. But every human being always finds a way back. ”

The voice was not loud, but the word fell into the old prime minister's ear, slightly changing the old man's complexion.

Finally, Robustschel sat down slowly and patted himself gently on the knee, staring at Camisillo for a moment before smiling: "Okay, get up. ”

Camisillo looked up, looking into the old prime minister's eyes: "I was also very surprised. I can't believe you stood in the empire for decades, and Ming Cheol was conservative, but you were in the palace as early as possible. ”

“Be discreet.” The old Chancellor glanced at Camisillo.

Camisillo laughed with a mockery: "You taught me to be confused, to be clear, not to speculate on the king's mind. But you have your own eyes in the palace long ago… this is not what you taught. ”

“It's different.” The old prime minister sneered and his old eyes naturally revealed the majesty of the imperial prime minister: “Who are you now? Minister of Military Affairs... but you are young, underqualified, in the military, those big men, you don't have to move them. In your current position, your status is distinguished and honorable, and you are a first-class minister of the Empire. But if you really talk about the power in your hands, I'm afraid you won't even be able to touch it! Tall and weightless... As you are, I teach you not to speculate on the king's thoughts. That is right and good for you. ”

The old man sighed a little tired, “I'm different. I've been rolling in the water in this imperial capital since I was 20 years old, rolling all the way from the Treasury Department, the Imperial Courtesy Department, the Inspectorate General, the Military Command Department, and I've been sitting in the governor's office for four years. I've sat almost every inch of the empire, every official position! It took me half my life to be Prime Minister of the Empire. In my position, it sounds good, under one person, above ten thousand people. It's hard to hear...”

The old man suddenly smiled somewhat cynically: "If I encounter a faint emperor, I hold the power to say that the crow is white, and he only knows it is white!! Of course, it's disingenuous, and I certainly don't. But... an ordinary prince, without speculating on the mind of the emperor, can only be a pure 'prince’. But... I can't! Imperial Chancellor, no! Under one person, above ten thousand people, even less so! So I taught you not to do things, which is in your position. But in my position, it has to be done! ”

Now that the old man had let go of his heart, he simply said: “I understood from an early age that the imperial prime minister's position, taking control of the government of a country, is no longer a pure prince, but... half a monarch! So the mind of the man in the palace, I must always understand. In fact, this kind of thing has been happening for generations. I had my eyes in the Imperial City early on, all these years. However, this line of sight, I don't plan anything big on a weekday, just ask for a peace message, naturally it is not easy to expose.” Then the old man glanced over at Camisillo: “I just couldn't believe these people, who knew I was dying, actually turned to you. ”

Camisillo hey hey giggles: “As long as you're human, always find your way back. This family will be mine anyway. Are you still going to keep this from me for the rest of my life? ”

Camisillo didn't hide it, either, to be honest: "The other day, you had a disease in the winter and you couldn't be a director. I'll take care of everything in this house. As a result of everyday family affairs, some strange secrets were sent to me, but I didn't know where they came from. This curiosity arose, and I looked and found that the secrets were written in secret language, even if the ordinary people could not see them - but you forgot what I did. I was undercover for the King of Regents for 10 years under the Grand Prince, and I was so familiar with this secret credit code thing. Besides, you and the eyes in the palace, the secrets aren't really smart, so I took a little thought and deciphered them. Turns out, the letter is actually a message in the palace, not to mention that you have been eyeing the Imperial City for years. In that letter, it was nothing more than a small matter of chicken and garlic peel. How has the Regent eaten recently? What temper has the Little Charlie Emperor had? What books has Princess Karina read? The Regent has been busy for days not seeing the Queen and the Queen...”

“Well, I'm not trying to rebel, and I don't need to listen to anything big. As long as you know these little things about the garlic peel, you'll probably have some idea of what's going on in the court.” The old prime minister shook his head: "If I had listened to any secrets, I would have been exposed decades ago! ”

“It's just that little things like chicken and garlic are finally worth it.” Camisillo grins, "the court has recently changed a number of new doctors. This thing just caught my eye. ”

The old man shrugged for a moment: “Now that you know, then it seems that my eyeliner in the court has been subdued by you. Anyway, these will be given to you sooner or later..."

Saying, the old man turned back and found a pen from the table. On one side of the blank paper, he slowly wrote down several lines.

He looked up at Camisillo: “I've had my eyes in the Imperial City for decades. Over the years, I've never deliberately listened to the secrets of any royal family, but I've kept an eye out for some seemingly ordinary everyday things. You know, actually, a lot of seemingly simple things, but more secrets! ”

He passed the paper: "Historically, the palace's internal affairs, the palace doctors would buy some medicines regularly, they would prepare them in the palace, over the years, what medicines to buy, how much to buy, have become the norm. And those court magicians... Hmm, the magicians used special drugs, originally bought from the magic union, but court magicians and magic unions are not all the way, so they are always responsible for regular purchasing in the palace. Since the beginning of last year, the palace's list of housekeeping purchases has changed. Each purchase will add some special medicines and magic drugs that were not available before. It is not surprising that these extra items, if only suddenly one extra item in a single month, will come out. Probably some magician doing some kind of magic research, temporarily in need. However, since the beginning of last year, there has been so much more on the monthly list. Although the number of varieties has changed from time to time, some of the flavors have remained the same. ”

He played this piece of paper in the hand: “This piece of paper says that, in recent months, there have been more new varieties on the list of purchases than ever before. I didn't care, but according to the usual practice, I still sent people to remote parts of the South to find a doctor to figure out the role and efficacy of the drugs on this list, so I deduced that, our Regent..."

The old man frowned tightly and sighed silently.

Camisillo glanced at it, but his back was firmly in his heart, and he turned around and walked to a candle fire in the house, gathering it up and burning it to ashes.

He stood beside the fire, and the flame reflected on his face, and the young face was suddenly dim: “Now that you have said everything... then you must always give me a clear statement... in case His Majesty is not there on that day, and the Duke of Tulip and the royal family have fallen apart again. Me, what to do! ”

The old man closed his eyes: “I'm afraid I won't be able to live this spring... the day you said I wouldn't be able to see. However, if you do have that day, you..."

The door was closed, one old two less Empire ministers, the conversation in this room, no one heard, and the night breeze outside rose, blowing the treetops in the yard, making a noise of sand, seemingly hiding the sound of the conversation in the house, all in the night...

Empire 966, last day of March.

Eastern Fortress of the Kabaski Line of Defense.

On the south bank of the excavated artificial canal, temporary barracks were built on the banks of the river during the original winter, which were supplied to the river workers who had mobilized them, and several infantry regiments of soldiers were stationed in the winter. In order to ensure that the river does not freeze during the winter, these men were prepared and were originally chiseled during the winter.

As a result, this warm winter made these preparations useless. In the spring, the river workers and the army stationed on the banks of the river were redeployed back, and in the temporary barracks, a number of prepared iron chips, shovels, hoes and other tools were not brought back.

Not far south is the eastern fortress. The fortress, although slightly smaller in size than the main cylinder in the centre, is also a rare city on the continent, with six divisions of the Imperial Army stationed in the fortress, surrounded by three divisional storm regiments dominated by three elites from the local guards mobilized from various locations, in addition to some 60,000 river workers and civilians and heavy logistical units.

On the east side of the fortress, a gap was opened on the city wall to build a tall water tower underneath which was a 50-metre wide drain leading directly to the canal, allowing the transport fleet on the river to transport the goods directly into the city.

After the spring, the weather was warmer than the day, as the river served as a natural barrier, with imperial naval vessels patrolling the river and a small battleship stationed downstairs in the fortress to the east. Therefore, the Imperial Repellent Cavalry continues to patrol out of the city on a daily basis and back and forth along the south bank of the canal.

From this point of view, the situation on the eastern line of defence is much easier than that on the main plug in the centre.

Although those barbaric ethnic enemies and underwater attacks on the flotilla occurred last year, they did not appear again after several such attacks, and the convoys transporting them intensified their preparedness. This tense atmosphere lasted for six months, but no new situation emerged and finally became more relaxed.

On the morning, a 100-man cavalry came out of the north gate of the fortress, first patrolling around the northern end of the fortress, then splitting into two teams, patrolling along the south bank of the canal to the left and to the right.

These are the elite cavalry of the Storm Regiment, dressed in thick armor, carrying a single-handed cross sword, and immediately carrying the cavalry's stab gun.

As the weather warms, the river flows slowly, and the morning sun shines on the river, dyeing the calm river water into a faint golden halo.

The cavalry is fairly relaxed, the eastern line of defense has not had much fighting since the beginning of the war. Those barbaric ethnic enemies must also know that the river is difficult to cross, so they have not attacked this place - but they have heard that, after the spring, the main plug in the center fought two more fierce battles, even the magicians have been sent, and new holy class strong men have appeared in the empire to help fight.

The cavalry, led by the captain, slowed down and looked at the north bank from time to time. Normally, occasionally, the north bank also saw some other wolf cavalry patrol, just across a great river, and the wolf cavalry could not come. At most, the two sides looked across the great river for a while, and then left.

Today this group of cavalry out of the city, took less than a meal of kung fu, suddenly only to see the cavalry captain in front raised his hand, the team immediately stopped.

The cavalry captain turned around and looked a little ugly: "Listen up! ”

Many of the cavalry stopped their horseshoes together, and they heard a blatant and rhythmic rumbling coming from the north! Whoa, whoa! ”Voice!

The sound seemed to be still far away, but gradually, gradually, it approached in a hidden way.

And looking at the side of the river, the water on the river surface, seems to be in the sound, the water surface is slight, and the rhythm of a shock, a shock...

The cavalry captain immediately took out his telescope and looked towards the north shore. He looked at it only once. He immediately shook himself and his face changed!

In the tiny binoculars, the images appeared: over the vast wilderness north of the river, far away, all over the sky, infinity, an ant like an array of black pressures, dense numbness, skull build-up, knife guns like a black steel forest!

Thousands of feet trample the earth with a neat rhythm! That neat footsteps, like muffled thunder, hit people in the head. And in that side of the march, the clanging sound of armor collision, turned into a piece, as if it were a chilling note...

.

It's the last three days of the month, gentlemen. Do you have any more monthly tickets?
