The wind outside the window was blowing louder and stronger, the canopy of the trees rattled and dead leaves scattered all over the ground. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

Li Liefeng put the knife into the sheath, clasped his hands in front of his chest, and stood on Xu Rong's side.

Xu Rong indifferently blew open the tea leaves in the cup, took a sip of tea, and glanced at Sun Guanglong: "The gale is his own person." You've done everything you were asked to do?"

Sun Guanglong stood opposite Xu Rong, his face pale, and asked, "The person you asked me to approach was Haosen! During the escape, Hausen caused more than 200 deaths and injuries in Devil May Cry Mountain Prison. ”

Li Liefeng opened his mouth, his eyes widened, and said, "This is impossible! How did he do it?"

"Hey, gale, nothing is impossible. Xu Rong raised his hand to stop Li Liefeng from interjecting, "Haosen is one of the Ten Saints, the former dean of the Academy of Magic, who killed his younger brother many years ago and was imprisoned in Devil May Cry Mountain Prison. ”

"You already knew?" Sun Guanglong's heart sank, and he wondered.

Xu Rong smiled: "I was the one who let you enter the Academy of Magic." How could I not know this? It's just that Mr. H is Hausen, and I didn't tell you about that. ”

Sun Guanglong remembered that the man with short silver hair in the Wolf Warrior Squad was also with Xu Rong. It seems that Xu Rong has been planning for a long time.

"Then I ask you, why did you help Haosen escape from prison, and why did you choose me?" Sun Guanglong asked.

"Let me ask you, do you think the times make heroes, or do heroes make the times?" Xu Rong added a little water to the cup and asked with a smile.

Sun Guanglong was confused for a while. All along, he obeyed Xu Rong's orders, went to the magic academy, endured humiliation, studied magic, and killed Robert to go to Devil May Cry Mountain Prison, but he didn't say a word. It wasn't until Hausen escaped from prison, causing more than 200 casualties, that his heart faltered. After escaping from prison, he even wanted to fly back to Yuhua City and ask Xu Rong what was going on in person. He hadn't thought about it at all.

"Don't beat around the bush! I don't understand that. Sun Guanglong's tone was full of unhappiness.

"Bold, you dare to talk to Lord Xu like this!" Li Liefeng shouted.

Xu Rong waved his hand, looked at Sun Guanglong, and said with a smile: "Do you want to recover the Rising Sun Empire?"

"Of course!" Sun Guanglong gritted his teeth, "I can't wait to revolt now and enter Thunder Castle!"

"How can you be in a hurry to recover the great cause?" Xu Rong turned his head to Li Liefeng and said, "Fierce Wind, don't worry, Sun Guanglong is your own person." ”

Hearing Xu Rongyi's words, Li Liefeng no longer held his chest with his hands and lifted his defensive posture.

"From ancient times to the present, the army of the Rising Sun Empire came from the peasants, who worked as farmers in peacetime and were conscripted by the imperial court in wartime. The conscripted troops were commanded by the generals of the imperial court. We, the civil servants and the rich, do not have our own army. This is the biggest difference from other kingdoms. Xu Rong took a sip of tea and said, "The lords of those kingdoms have their own armies, and the king may not be able to command all the lords. ”

Sun Guanglong shook his head: "I know this, but I don't understand what the difference will be?"

"The Kingdom of Meno and the Kingdom of Orlando are all lords of the province after the original king submitted. They had their own vassals, and the vassals had armies. Xu Rong took a piece of silk silk and wiped his sweat, "The war between the Rising Sun Empire and the Rhodes Empire exhausted most of the generals and troops, and in the battle of the Four Holy Cities, the first emperor chose to die with the enemy. Soon Rhodes' army was stationed in the province of Sunset and did not allow us to have an army, nor did it allow us to receive their military education. ”

"The lords of the other provinces still have their own armies. Sun Guanglong said, "During the one-year war, in addition to the imperial army supported by the treasury, Emperor Auguste also launched a conscription, and lords and vassals sent troops to participate in the war against the polar people. ”

Xu Rong sighed and said: "After the destruction of the country, our ancestors did not want to restore the country, but there were not many troops left in the country, and the good generals sacrificed their lives." We are clamoring to restore the Empire of the Rising Sun, but where are the generals? Where is the army?"

Sun Guanglong was silent, he had to admit that Xu Rong was right.

"After that, there were magicians again in the Rhodes Empire. You've seen the strength of Hausen. Come to think of it, the magician and the imperial army of Rhodes are like lions and tigers, not to mention that there are other provinces that obey the emperor's orders. Xu Rong pointed to his brain with his index finger, "We can only rely on strategy." Luckily, the Polar Regions invaded and the empire lacked magicians, so you could enter the academy and learn magic. ”

Sun Guanglong suddenly thought of something and said, "What about Wu Ren? Wu Ren was also arranged by you?"

Xu Rong shook his head: "He went by himself." Takehito is now an assistant to the governor. ”

Sun Guanglong couldn't believe his ears, he opened his mouth and saw Xu Rong nodding in confirmation.

In other words, he was on the side of the Rhodes. Xu Rong waved his hand, "Let's not talk about him for the time being." The only way to dismantle the Rhodes Empire is to start from within. Originally, I wanted to send more people to learn magic, but not everyone was suitable for learning magic. Besides, how could the Empire allow a large number of remnants to learn magic? If it weren't for the year-long war, you and Takehito wouldn't have been able to enter the magic academy, despite their talents. This is called the times to create heroes. ”

Sun Guanglong suddenly realized. Now that I think about it, all of Xu Rong's arrangements were planned when the Academy of Magic was established.

"The magician's awesomeness, you've seen it with your own eyes. But in Sunset Province, it will take you to secretly teach the mysteries of magic to others and form an army of remnant magicians, not to mention that it will be even more difficult to become a person like the Ten Saints. Xu Rong continued, "After Haosen was imprisoned, I learned that he seemed to have a grudge against the Empire, and I thought I could release him and let him make a big fuss. According to my tip, Hausen's skill is magic capture, so I'll send you and give him magic. ”

After listening to Xu Rong's words, Sun Guanglong felt trembling all over. He hurriedly knelt down: "Your Excellency is far-sighted, Sun Guanglong was offended just now, please forgive me." ”

"Hey, excuses, excuses. Xu Rong praised, "I was surprised that you escaped from prison with Haosen and brought a few friends out." ”

Sun Guanglong told all about what happened in Devil May Cry Mountain Prison. Li Liefeng was dumbfounded when he heard this.

The wind blew harder, and the windows swayed. The sky was cloudy, and half of the sky was dark.

"In this way, Spike, Serena, and Hans are all rebels against the Empire. We can fight for it. Xu Rong touched his beard, "Cervantes is a northerner, according to my guess, he is not small, at least a certain lord in the north." ”

"Spike has formed an army of rebels, and Serena's bands of thieves might come in handy. Sun Guanglong thought about it and suggested.

Xu Rong nodded frequently.

"One more thing. At the Flower God Festival in Yuhua City, the Fuguo faction brewed a tragedy...... "Sun Guanglong thought of the Flower God Festival tragedy, and his heart was uneasy.

Xu Rong understated, he waved his hand: "A few young people from the Restoration faction, young and vigorous, act on their own. Some of them were killed by the gendarmerie on the spot, and I have sent someone to deal with those who are still alive. ”

Sun Guanglong was shocked. But he said no more.

The sky was getting darker and darker, and the clouds were thick, like a pot lid covering the sky above Yuhua City.

When I returned to the room I had just had, the lights were lit in the room.

Seeing Xu Rong and the others come out, Cervantes stood up.

Xu Rong shook his hands and laughed: "Let Lord Cervantes wait for a long time." Sun Guanglong and I have known each other for a long time, sorry, sorry. Adults rest assured, their own people. ”

Cervantes bowed and sat down again. He pointed to Spike and Serena and said, "These two are rare talents, too. ”

"I've heard Sun Guanglong say that both of them are heroes who rebelled against the Empire. Xu Rong nodded, "Good generals are rare, I don't know what the two of you think?"

Spike scratches his head with his right hand, "Well, I just want to see how the fate of the empire is changed, relatively speaking, I like to be on the side of the weak." It's a lot of fun to watch you grow stronger and take on the Rhodes Empire. ”

Serena smiled, took Sun Guanglong's hand, and said, "Haojie can't talk about it, but for me, where Sun Guanglong goes, I will go too." ”

Hans's face was red and white. Cervantes glanced at Hans and said, "It seems that what we need now is timing. I don't know where Hausen went, if he made a fuss, it would be lively. ”

"And the Arryns and the Rundstedt family, they're good to fight. Xu Rong stretched out his second finger, then the third finger, "There are more and more remnant officials in the Olaf Governor's Palace, and we will eventually hold real power." The sum of these three factors makes me feel that there is something missing. ”

"It's firewood ready, it's just not burning. Cervantes narrowed his eyes, "It's up to Thundercastle to do what it does." ”

"What does Lord Cervantes think of the current regent?" As soon as Xu Rong's words fell, a bright light suddenly flashed in the sky, and then thunder rolled in.

Cervantes shook his head: "As far as I know, the regent Sebastian was originally the eldest son of the Heinrich family, deprived of his title, and was a painter and architect. I don't know anything about the rest. ”

Xu Rong narrowed his eyes and smacked his lips, he thought for a moment and said: "That is to say, he has no foundation, if he doesn't understand politics......"

Cervantes stood up and looked out the window at the sky, when suddenly, lightning pierced the dark curtain of dark clouds, and the thunder was deafening.

"Lightning and thunder will come eventually. Cervantes let out a sigh, "Tonight, I'll be able to sleep soundly." It's really hot. ”

Xu Rong laughed, and everyone understood.

Everyone stood in front of the window, breathing in the moist and fresh air.

The thunderstorm brought a little coolness, and Sun Guanglong looked at the willow trees that were blown by the wind in the rain, and thought thoughtfully. He looked at Xu Rong out of the corner of his eye, and Xu Rong didn't smile.

Xu Rong disposed of the Fuguo faction who escaped from the pursuit of the gendarmes in the tragedy of the Flower God Festival. He said it lightly. A chill broke out of Sun Guanglong's back crest.

Suddenly, Serena wrapped her arms around Sun Guanglong, she stood on tiptoe and whispered, "Hehe, Sun Guanglong, this rain is coming in time, do you know what day tomorrow is?" ”

"Midsummer?" Sun Guanglong looked at Serena.

Serena, who had red hair, was petite, and she winked mischievously and whispered, "You must come tomorrow, Midsummer, it will make you feel refreshed." ”

With that, Serena licked her lips. (To be continued...) ）
