Volume 1 [Flame Chapter] Dragon Death Chapter 123 News from the Imperial Capital (1)
"That's right, Luo Wu's firebolt pierced your heart. But it seems that it was Long Jing who saved your life. Luo Sijie pointed to Ye Gu's heart and said.
"Long Jing, I'll tell you the truth, I dreamed of that dragon just now. Ye Gu said lightly.
"Is that dragon in the ruins of Nandu?" Luo Sijie asked eagerly, getting up.
Ye Gu didn't answer immediately, but rubbed his head, which was still a little dizzy, shook it a few times and said, "Well, you're right, but now there are no dragons in the ruins of the Southern Capital." Also, this is not the point, the point is the mission. Perhaps in our current era, stopping the disaster is our only mission. ”
"What is the mission?" Luo Sijie whispered when she heard this.
Seeing Ye Gu rubbing his brain and heart again to relieve the pain left over from yesterday, Luo Sijie's heart became more and more chaotic.
This feeling is like a garden full of flowers, suddenly due to a rainstorm, resulting in weeds everywhere. Whether to deal with the vicinity of the precious flowers first, or start with the obvious ones that people can see at a glance, is a real headache for her.
In just one month, too much has happened for Luo Sijie.
It is true that she arranged the dragon ruins, and she also participated in the rebellion in Guli Town, and she was also behind the "Dragon Book". But the end result was all much more than she expected, and they were all developing in places she didn't expect.
Helpless, she had to shake her head.
In fact, the more complex the matter, the better the effect can be obtained by simply dealing with it.
"I've figured it out, my lord!" Luo Sijie suddenly raised her head and stared at Ye Gu and said.
"You, what have you figured out?" Ye Gu looked a little dazed.
"I'm going to take the most direct path, no more tossing. During this time, I went to many places, and it was all painstaking and ineffective to stop Long Qing, or for other purposes. This time, I will go to the imperial capital in advance to face the biggest danger in the future. Luo Sijie said with a determined expression.
"So, you decided to leave early, so how many Luo family members are you going to bring with you?" Ye Gu asked.
"There are only three people, me, Luo Longming and a demon source master. ”
"What about Luo Wu, why don't you take him with you?" Ye Gu asked.
"Hehe, my lord, do you really want to take him there?" Luo Sijie scoffed.
"He wanted to kill me, but he was also one of the few sober people. At least he won't be tempted by the power of the dragons. Ye Gu sighed in a low voice.
"He can't do it, maybe he can't even save his life. Luo Sijie said gloomily.
"Just because he tried to assassinate me?"
"Just because? Is this a crime not small? You must know that the crime of murder will be punished by death in any country on the mainland. Moreover, it is to kill the superior from the imperial capital. In this matter, if my father is willing to do nothing, you have no opinion, my lord, and it is not impossible to hide it. If there is any accident, he may not survive Long Qing. ”
"Well, but I don't mind his assassination. After all, anyone should avoid such a thing as a disaster as much as possible. ”
Ye Gu looked at Luo Sijie with understanding eyes.
The two looked at each other, and they both read some information from each other's eyes.
Before the final test comes, such information is often the most authentic and direct.
What Ye Gu read is called fate, and the attitude of facing fate.
What Luo Sijie reads is called responsibility, for the responsibility of the majority.
After looking at each other for a few minutes, Ye Gu slowly got up and turned his gaze from this rare strong and brave girl to the door of the nobleman's room on the sixth floor of the military station.
Knock, knock.
The huge Western-style clock placed outside the military station struck seven times in succession with a characteristic long, heavy sound. With the outside sky still shining brightly, the people of the southern capital announced the arrival of seven o'clock in the morning.
"My lord, I'll go out first. When you have changed and finished your breakfast, our person will pick you up and walk you to the second floor. Today, around this time, the order of the imperial capital will come. Most of the orders may be about Lin Hai before, but it is more likely to be Long Qing. ”
After Ye Gu nodded in agreement, Luo Sijie walked with a not light step, and gradually retreated outward.
After a creak, Ye Gu was the only one left in the huge room.
Only then did he notice that he was still wearing pajamas that someone had put on him.
After shaking his head, Ye Gu took off his pajamas and changed into the uniform of the Imperial Army he had been wearing at the head of the bed.
After putting the Flying Stone back in his chest pocket that he had been holding tightly, Ye Gu got up and walked straight towards the door.
In the military offices of the Empire, there are generally only soldiers who belong to the Empire. But Nandu is an exception, because it is controlled by the Luo family all the year round, most of the soldiers in the military station here belong to the Luo family, and even some of them serve the Luo family at the same time.
Therefore, led by the soldiers of the Luo family who had been waiting at the door for a long time, Ye Gu first walked to the corner of the dining room on the sixth floor of the military station to finish breakfast, and then went to the Western-style bathroom to wash up, and then walked down the spiral staircase characteristic of the military station.
"The military office in the southern capital is really very different from the military hall in the imperial capital. The two styles of the East and the West on the mainland, I didn't expect that they could coexist harmoniously in the empire. ”
Looking at the various intertwined furnishings of the Nandu Military Station, Ye Gu exclaimed.
But after all, these things, in the face of major events in the future, are just like a passing cloud, and they will disappear in an instant, so Ye Gu simply did not invest his attention in them. Instead, he chose to follow the soldier in front of him and went down to the second floor of the military station.
Although the design of the military station has all the similarities with the Nandu administration, there are still subtle differences.
In the military station, there is a huge patio between the third and seventh floors, which allows a direct view of the picture at the top. However, the second floor is a separate and independent whole floor, from the second floor to the first and third floors, there is only a narrow spiral staircase as a passage, and there is no other direct and normal way.
In other words, as long as you guard the two small doors, most people will not be able to enter this important space.
"Lord Yegu, you're here. The information brought by the imperial capital is more complicated than we expected, whether to go or not, we only listen to your opinion now. ”
The person who spoke was Luo Heng, who had been here all night, and now he was sitting on the higher seat in the center of the second floor, waiting for Ye Gu to arrive.
"Before listening to me, you should tell me all the news about the imperial capital. Ye Gu said.
Luo Heng nodded, and ordered Luo Qi behind him: "You first take out the letter that was delivered to Nandu by the train in the morning and read it to Lord Ye Gu." ”
"Yes, sir. Luo Qi agreed, and took out a scroll-type letter composed of yellow ribbons specially made by the Empire from the long table behind him.
After a series of skillful unsealing, unfolding, and smoothing operations, Luo Qi read with a golden ribbon embroidered with a red dragon on his back.
"The Emperor of the Flame Empire officially ordered: Lin Hai of the Lin family, in the two vicious rebellions of Guli Town and Nandu, played the role of the mastermind and promoter, although it has nothing to do with the majority of the Lin family, but because of its bad nature, he deserves it. Therefore, Lin Zhao, the prime minister of the empire who is also the head of the Lin family, has an unshirkable responsibility. From the date of issuance of the order, Lin Zhao was removed from his post as prime minister. In addition, because the Luo family was in the two incidents, they were not only able to handle it properly, but also actively protect the two important personnel of the empire. Therefore, from now on, Luo Heng will be promoted to the governor of the imperial capital province and the prime minister of the empire, so please be sure to go to the imperial capital to take office within five days before Longqing. Otherwise, all imperial affairs will be unsustainable, and I hope that there will be no excuses. In addition, the invitation letter of Longqing is attached. ”
"Is this an official order?" Ye Gu said strangely.
"That's right. This is an urgent train from the imperial capital to the southern capital at six o'clock today. You know, in general, urgent letters and official orders of the emperor will be carried out with the help of expedited trains. Luo Qi explained.
"Lin Zhaoke has served as the prime minister of the empire for forty years, starting from Emperor Shangwu to the former emperor who died three years ago, and the emperor who died alone has assisted three, plus the current little emperor There are a total of four. If you say it's dismissed, you're dismissed?"
Ye Gu looked at Luo Heng with an incredible expression, but Luo Heng never said a word, his expression was not full of joy, but a heavy worry and doubt.
Finally, he still sighed, covered his face and sobered up, and then slowly spoke: "It is not uncommon for the Luo family to serve as prime minister, and there was one in the period of Emperor Wen above. But what makes me strange is not this, but His Majesty's two orders, one bright and one dark, and the invitation to Longqing sandwiched between the official orders. You know, now if I, a veteran who has been operating in Nandu for more than 20 years, want to be promoted to prime minister, at this time, it is either to accept the mess, it is a conspiracy. However, the former is more likely. ”
"Father, maybe the emperor knows that we want to stop Long Qing and promote you to prime minister in advance, so as to isolate our Luo family and make us have to lean on his side. Luo Sijie said on the side.
"Alas. Luo Heng sighed deeply, and then said, "After you read this unofficial order, it will be clearer. ”
Saying that, Luo Heng learned from the fact that he was wearing the uniform of the general of the Earth Empire (the level of the imperial leader, which is equivalent to the level of the provincial governor, and it is counted according to the general. He pulled out two letters, which were already a little crumpled.
Both letters are made of vellum paper, but the inside is still paper, but it is the same color as the outer vellum.
"This letter, written entirely in the lingua franca of the West, is the unofficial order. Luo Yin, you've learned the lingua franca of the West, right? You read it. As he spoke, Luo Heng bent down and reached out to take out one of the brown paper letters.
Soon, from among the several Imperial soldiers next to him, a young man with golden hair and a slightly vicissitudes of life on his face, but no more than twenty-three years old, rushed out.
After standing and bending down to take the letter, in front of everyone, he read the contents of the letter: "The Flame Empire unofficially ordered: Luo Heng, don't be surprised after seeing the appointment of the prime minister, and don't have any doubts. This position originally belonged to you and the Luo family, and the Lin family and I have begun to sleep in the same bed. In order to avoid the spread of danger and ensure the smooth progress of Longqing, I first used Ye Mingyuan to open the Dragon Realm Stone, a holy artifact that had been sleeping in the empire for many years, to ensure that the two gates of Longqing were opened normally, and to give the dragon clan one more chance. Later, I ordered Ye Gu, the descendant of someone who had come into contact with the power of the dragon clan, to go to Tabin City to pick up Ye Mingyuan to prevent the expansion of the power of the dragon clan in him. But the Lin family really disappointed me, and they shouldn't have stimulated the dragon clan power in Ye Mingyuan's body without preparation......"
Due to the length of the letters, only a part of the record can be recorded on a piece of paper. After turning to the next piece of paper and clearing her throat, Luo Yin continued:
"Causing it to erupt early. At the same time, Yan Sheng, a fellow clan sent by me to clean up the Lin family's forces, unexpectedly came with the news of his disappearance the day before yesterday. Therefore, I can no longer tolerate the Lin family. It was only this morning, the day this letter was written, that is, that troops were sent to arrest Lin Zhao and remove him from his post. I now know the loyalty of your Luo family, so I specially sent you two tasks, one of which is to bring Ye Gu and Ye Mingyuan back to the imperial capital safely, so that I can successfully carry out Longqing. Second, the martial law in the imperial capital has been postponed to five days before Longqing, and I hope that you, Luo Heng, will be ready to lead the machinery of the southern capital to the imperial capital to take up his post together. On the day of Longqing, I will show the first sky army that the Empire has formed in the world. ”
