Chapter 612: Palace Change
The crowd split into two sides, with Douglas and an old-fashioned retainer coming out in line.
There is no need to observe Douglas's expression, Leonardo knows that he must like this kind of situation of being in the limelight, of course, his expression will not be too obvious, but as the heir of the great nobles who watched the latter princes grow up, Leonardo is more familiar with the temperament of several members of the first family, and the most unsuccessful of them is the fourth prince.
Barnett, who followed Douglas, was dressed in a formal suit with three black mink furs trimmed on his cuffs, and although he was only a baron of the first rank, he was one of several important ministers on whom the emperor depended. He had a stern countenance, and followed Douglas two steps behind, separated from Douglas by a distance of alienation and respect, obviously not together in the first place, but on the road when the two sides met, and came together.
"Domingo, put down the iron bridge, I'm Douglas. Merlin, I'm going to go in at once to make sure my father and queen mother are safe. ”
Douglas shouted upward, apparently knowing the name of the Janissary Captain, and as soon as he said a word, the nobles around him also began to make noise about the safety of the two Majestics.
Leonardo shook his head secretly, the important minister also frowned, and the captain of the Praetorian Guard above stretched out his head to look at it, and said helplessly:
"Your Royal Highness Douglas, it's not that I won't let you go, it's just that Your Majesty has no decree, so many adults are crowded in front of the palace gate, the order is scattered, and it is impossible to let you enter."
Douglas looked at the people around him, there were hundreds of people bustling, and the foot of the mountain was still converging here, and he also felt troublesome.
But even if none of so many nobles is really weighty, they are a lot of force together, and Douglas's character attacked, and he subconsciously didn't want to offend so many people, so he hesitated.
"Everyone, please be quiet!"
Seeing this, Barnett, the important minister, had to come forward himself, and everyone fell silent for a while. Just listen to Nabannet:
"You are concerned about the safety of Your Majesty, and I am the same, but it will not help to be crowded in front of the palace gate like this, please go back first, and when the news in the palace comes out, I will definitely inform you as soon as possible."
Douglas saw someone come forward. He nodded his head again and again.
"The words of His Highness Douglas and Lord Barnett, we should have heeded. But the noise in the palace is disturbing, and since we have come to the palace gate, we cannot go back like this under any circumstances. ”
It was still the Lord Earl who was in charge of appearing before Douglas and the others came, and many people echoed him, but there was no lack of shrewdness in the crowd, and some people said:
"But it is not what we want to do if the palace gate is congested like this, so that His Highness and the adults cannot enter the palace in time and delay the business. It is better to bring out a few highly respected adults from so many of us as representatives, and enter the palace to meet us to convey our concerns about His Majesty, and if there is any other news, there are also a few honorable people who are representatives to convey it to the outside world, so that everyone can feel at ease. ”
This is a compromise. After all, although most people think that it will be fine, the sudden collapse of the feasible palace is inevitably a little unsettling, and the two red warning signals in the daytime hunt do need clear news to reassure people.
When Barnett heard this, he agreed in his heart. Looking at the crowd again, he wanted to find out the person who proposed the proposal, but he didn't find the other party, but he was in a hurry to enter the palace, and he didn't care about finding someone, so he said to Douglas:
"This mention is not bad, although there is no summoning edict from His Majesty, then it will be up to me and His Highness to enter the palace with a few His Excellencies, Your Highness, do you think this is good?"
"Okay, okay, so be it!"
Of course, Douglas had no opinion, raised his voice and shouted to the people above, and the captain of the Praetorian Guard heard that he was only bringing seven or eight more people in, and after thinking about it, he said:
"Without His Majesty's decree, it stands to reason that they cannot be released, but His Royal Highness and Lord Barnett have the right to enter the palace at any time to see them, and they are willing to be a guarantee, so it is okay for a few adults to come in together, but a few of them can not bring guards, and they must also be inspected, and they are not allowed to bring weapons into the palace with them, and the rest of you Excellencies, please disperse."
Everyone held their breath, but they also knew that this was the duty of the captain of the Praetorian Guard, and soon after selecting eight nobles to enter on their behalf, they all gave way to the open space, let the soldiers put down the iron bridge, and watched Douglas and the others enter.
After that, the iron bridge was immediately pulled up again, and the captain of the Praetorian Guard expelled them again and again, and the nobles slowly dispersed, only a few remained to linger outside the palace gate, and the captain of the Praetorian Guard didn't care and didn't expel them again.
After that, people arrived at the foot of the mountain one after another, and when they heard the previous way of dealing with it, they waited for a few important ministers who had the right to enter the palace freely like Barnett, and brought in some of them in the same way, and the rest of the people waited outside the palace.
"Why don't you go in with them?"
James and Leonardo, who had quietly left before Douglas and the others entered the palace, were hidden on the side, watching the people gradually disperse, James asked Leonardo.
"I always feel that something is wrong...... Leonardo said, but he can't tell what is wrong.
"Well, I also think that the person who mentioned yì just now is a little weird, and his face is unfamiliar." James Road.
However, he had not been an emperor for a long time, and he did not like to socialize, and many nobles were new faces in his eyes, so he could not be sure, and Leonardo was not as sharp as him, and failed to notice the person who raised the mention.
It's just that up to now, apart from Douglas, none of the other important figures, such as several other princes or masters sitting in the court, have appeared, which makes Leonardo always a little uneasy, and the intuitive palace door is like an open mouth, swallowing everyone who enters it.
But with Leonardo's identity, it dragged on for a while, but it couldn't be delayed for a lifetime, and now the important ministers have entered the palace one after another, if there is nothing in the palace, but it is found afterwards that he has not appeared, it will inevitably make him embarrassed.
Leonardo thought for a moment, "Let's go back to the villa and send someone to the barracks to investigate." "The army is still in Charles' hands, and if there is an inside story, he does not believe that Charles will do nothing.
What's more, there hasn't been a master yet, although Leonardo can't imagine that any power can suppress the five ** masters and four golden sword masters, but the facts are in front of him, Leonardo thinks that his strength can't make waves in it, and he feels that he should hide first.
Even the palace has collapsed, even if he is automatically sent to the door like those important ministers in front of him, it will not help, it is better to take a look at the shape first. Then improvise.
……
In addition, Glas and the others were briefly examined after entering the palace gate, and they did not find that they were carrying large weapons and magic tools, so they were led by a guard to meet the emperor.
Douglas and Barnett were surprised to see that they were not taking the usual path, and the guard who led the way replied, "It is the White Pavilion that has collapsed." Fortunately, Her Majesty was in the Roland Palace of Her Majesty at the time, and now the two Majesties are together. ”
The White Pavilion was the court where the emperor usually handled government affairs and received ministers. Relatively far ahead, the Roland Palace is the queen's bedroom, located in the harem.
Douglas and Barnett saw that the guards were taking them to the direction of the harem, and they didn't suspect it, but they couldn't help but be shocked when they heard that it was the White Pavilion accident, but there was no one to discuss here, and more than a dozen people looked at each other, thinking that they would wait until they saw His Majesty.
There is a palace wall separating the harem from the front harem. The courtiers could not enter, so the guards led the group to a remote palace, where Douglas and Barnett, who was over sixty years old, entered the harem to meet the emperor, while the remaining nobles waited for the emperor to summon them.
"No, that's not right! How can you, a little gatekeeper, know so well the location of the palace where His Majesty is located......"
Walked a little on horseback. Barnett suddenly pointed at the guard and shouted warily.
Douglas was shocked and immediately drew his sword, but except for a personal guard beside him, who immediately drew his sword to protect him, the rest of the guards who escorted them into the palace were very calm, but surrounded them in the middle and slowly drew their weapons. The icy blade was aimed at them.
"Bold! You ......," Douglas suddenly understood, "who instructed you!" Odin, or Charles? Do you know the consequences of this, do you want your family to be buried with you? ”
Barnett heard Douglas say Odin and Charles, and he understood.
"Great rebellion! Great rebellion! He was heartbroken and scolded sharply, "Your Majesty, how is he!" What are your intentions in tricking us into the palace! ”
"Originally, His Highness and Lord Barnett cooperated well, and we will be able to see Your Majesty soon," the guard said lightly, taking out a small emerald green bottle, "Does Your Highness want us to use some coercive means, or do you cooperate yourself." ”
"You're ......!"
No humble man had ever dared to speak to him like this, Douglas was angry, but Barnett pulled him, stopped Douglas's words, raised his eyebrows coldly at the cold blades around him, and only stared at the guard and asked:
"Whether His Majesty is still there or not, I only ask this question."
"Your Majesty is still well." The guard glanced at Barnett and handed it forward again.
"Okay, after walking most of the palace, no one has come to stop it, it seems that you have already controlled the palace, it is useless for us to resist, what do you want us to cooperate with, take it out."
Barnett's words seemed to be talking to himself, but in fact he was speaking to Douglas, who remembered that the masters who accompanied him were still nowhere to be seen, and immediately understood, his face turned white, and he fell silent, acquiescing in Barnett's words.
"I still understand."
The guard smiled, and Barnett only snorted coldly, glancing at Douglas, thinking that if the other party asked them to drink something, he would definitely drink it before Douglas.
The guard didn't care, nodded to the opponent, and saw that they all took out something and put it to their mouths, and then the guard opened the mouth of the emerald green bottle, and the three of Douglas smelled a sweet and greasy fragrance, and their eyes went dark, and they fell down.
The soldiers caught the three people who fainted, and the guards led by them tried them one by one on the noses of the three people, and after confirming that they were breathing normally, they took out a dark blue spar and crushed it with a click, and the faint blue light lit up.
"My lord, this is done." The guard changed his tone of indifference and said respectfully to the blue light on his hand.
A low, flat male voice came from the blue light, "Well, send people here, and everyone else will do their best." ”
"Yes, sir."
