Chapter Eighty-Five: An Undercurrent Surges
The restrictions on access to the imperial capital city of Sisar lasted for about two or three days before slowly being lifted. Since the Emperor already knew about the organization behind the Elven Assassins, and that it was a mysterious association that had existed for many years, the restraining order itself had lost its special significance. In order not to boil over the people, Deliot wisely restored transportation and logistics.
Although the city of Cesar is not the largest city in the entire Tamborance Empire, it is the most complete and complete city with all kinds of facilities. Every emperor has poured his heart and soul into it. Whether it is the hippodrome or the Great Library, whether it is the drama theater or the beacon tower, the history of the empire is layered on top of these buildings, which is a living imperial genealogy.
The Standing Immortal who was cut off by Kai Gong in the Brown Bear Tavern actually has little to do with the Crimson Rose itself. Although his hidden weapon was coated with the poison of 100 days of drunkenness, it was actually obtained by him from some underground black market.
His two accomplices usually rely on this big brother to live. Now once you lose your backer, you suddenly have no direction.
The city of Cesar is not only spectacular on the ground, but also has some underground auxiliary pipes. The homeless people from all over the empire, since they can't claim hegemony on the ground, they have a separate set of rules underground. They built their own castles in the sewers where others covered their noses, and became the kings of the ditches. During the day, they begged, stolen, and abducted on the ground, and at night they retreated into underground drainage ditches and lived a true fairy life.
After the two Rising Immortals returned to the underground fortress that day, they complained to their brothers inside. These people are blessed and basically cannot share in them, but they can often share in difficulties. They have been bullied by the princes and nobles on the ground and officials at all levels for too long, and their hearts have long been full of seeds of rebellion.
Lidi Immortal has some small fame in this underground society, but now he is dying so unclearly, where can the big guy swallow this breath. One of the big heads in charge and a little appealing said: "The emperor and the old man have turned a blind eye to us, this little duke's follower dares to be so ruthless, if we don't teach them a lesson now, the whole Xiza City will not be able to mix!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he was drowned out by a flurry of protests, all of whom demanded a little color on the Duke and his men. A friend who was a wine and meat friend before his death shouted: "Brother, as long as you speak, brother, I am willing to take the lead! I have not done any less murderous things, but these lords have not touched it yet." It's so hot now, it's really nice to use a knife and let the blood go!"
Everyone followed the prestige, only to see that the five big and three thick in life, the burly figure did not look like a beggar at all, in addition to the clothes on his body were a little broken, his facial features also revealed a heroic spirit.
The big head smiled and said, "It turned out to be Brother Sledgehammer! If you do something, I will definitely rest assured!"
Walter, nicknamed Sledgehammer, was born as a carpenter, and his family had good genetics, all of them tall and tall with long legs. His parents died in an epidemic, and in order to take care of his younger siblings, in addition to carpentry work, he also helped people do some manual work all year round, such as carrying building materials and other things. He was unlucky, and once while he was working, he accidentally stoned to death a guy who was standing on the side overseeing the work, and this time it was a big disaster, and the man's relative was a great official in the imperial capital, and this great official knew the current prime minister, Carignan. Originally, Walter was sentenced to about 10 years for manslaughter, but because the court was coerced by external forces, it was immediately changed to 20 years.
How many twenty years can a person have? Walter retorted in court, explaining to the presiding judge that he had several younger siblings in his family who were minors to take care of. What he said was reasonable, and even made some observers shed tears, but the law is serious and cruel, and the law only serves a certain level of people after all. Twenty years of conviction could not be changed, and the hard-working carpenter became a prisoner in the Imperial prison in the blink of an eye.
When he went in, he was less than twenty years old, and when he came out, he was less than forty years old. His younger siblings have long since been heard from, and he has become a lonely man in this world. Although he still has carpentry skills, no one dares to appoint him anymore. Twenty years later, the victim still hasn't forgotten the brutal revenge on him. They used their power and influence to make Walter's image a feared and heinous symbol of the devil.
The carpenter was desperate and helpless, so he had to follow those three-minded guys to the sewers to fool around. His nickname, Hammer, was also given to him by these people. Because of his great strength, every time he went out to run errands, he always helped deal with some emergencies in the back, and several poor insects had already lost their hands and their heads were smashed open.
The big head is a bit resourceful, and he suppresses everyone's fire and qi within a controllable range, because volcanic eruptions are certainly terrifying, but only by finding the right time and gushing out in an instant can the greatest damage be formed.
The outlanders of the sewers had spent three days discussing the details of the operation, and they were in some ways more professional than the generals of the Tamborance Empire, and they had turned their hatred and anger into stratagem, ready to show the nobles on the ground with lightning speed.
......
The day after Albert recovered, Benedict arrived early in the dungeon to take the elven assassin out of the dungeon, and the Emperor sent two Imperial Guards to accompany him on a long journey to the Danse Forest. Before the cardinal left for the distance, he secretly communicated with the Duke of Borot, urging him to leave the imperial capital as soon as possible, so as not to cause any changes. Of course, Lao Bao also knew the stakes of this, but because the emperor was assassinated by thieves in the arena, and the atmosphere at the celebration banquet was not too harmonious, the dukes and counts who were originally going to return to their homes after eating did not dare to act on their own for a while, and were waiting for Emperor Deliot's instructions.
I don't know if it's because I'm too busy or something else, anyway, the emperor's side has been in a state of silence and hasn't made a public statement, so the various lords and nobles have fallen into panic and embarrassment. They had come with a nervous heart, but now that it was time for the event, they were still very panicked.
Empress Isabella usually does not interfere in state affairs, but this time it is different, after all, so many nobles stay in the imperial capital, if her husband is not thoughtful for a while and executes them all, then he will be a sinner for the ages. Since she did not wait for Dioot to come to her bedroom for several days, she took the initiative to take the maids and servants all the way to the hall where the emperor worked.
Diviot was not allowed to be disturbed when he was doing his work, and the guards at the door would not let anyone go, not even the queen. But Isabella was here to persuade the Emperor not to go on a killing spree, and she had to go in and meet Diviot anyway. The guards were in a dilemma, after all, the other party was the queen, and if the wind blew on the pillow one day, it would be themselves who would suffer. They looked at each other for a long time, and finally a bold man agreed to go and report to the emperor.
Del.T. T.L.O. was flying on the table, and he could never forget all the huge amount of official documents in the empire. The prime minister, Carignan, had been kind enough to persuade him not to bow down to everything, but he would not listen to him, he was the kind of perfectionist who would always go up and down in his heart if he did not examine everything himself.
The bold guard stood cautiously at the Emperor's table, waiting for his attention to be diverted.
As the minutes ticked by, Deleven seemed to be forever immersed in this endless state affair, and he didn't even raise his eyes at all, and he didn't even stop writing.
The guard was moved by the emperor's strength, and in order to convey the meaning of the queen's desire to meet him, he said softly and carefully: "Your Majesty, take a rest, the queen has been waiting outside for a long time!"
"Oh, what, why is the queen here?" said Deliot, interrupted from his train of thought, and did not recover for a moment. He looked at the guard who was respectful and even trembling slightly, and a smile suddenly appeared on his face, "Don't be afraid, since the queen is here, let her in!"
Isabella walked with a step, she saw the heavy tiredness on Deliot's face and the bloodshot eyes, her heart was very unbearable, after she finished the salute, she took the initiative to use the special wet towel that had been prepared to wipe the darkness and fatigue on the emperor's face himself.
Del T.L. shook the Queen's hand, and then buried his head in the official document. The queen's grooming and caressing did not affect his way of thinking about governing the country.
Isabella wasted no time in saying, "Your Majesty, the holy city of Roma in the north has been retaken, and the heretics of Deseth have been driven back to the tundra, and your celebration has ended very smoothly, and the knights and nobles are looking forward to returning to their homeland as soon as possible. Everyone is waiting for your opinion!"
"Oh?" said Deliot, as if he had just noticed this, and looked into the queen's innocent eyes, and sighed, "Then let them all go their separate ways, as you say!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty. The queen is full of joy, her husband is too violent, and someone must guide him correctly from the back in order to become a generation of ancient emperors.
Unfortunately, nine times out of ten, life was not as expected, and the emperor's father-in-law, Duke Loyle, came with General Iros to ask for an audience. They were the Emperor's henchmen, and the guards were much more quick to inform than they had just been, and the Emperor seemed to be much more energetic than before, and he left the table to greet him, ready to listen to the information they had received.
I want to know what exciting news those two traitors have brought, and listen to the next time.
