A large convoy stopped in front of the ferry.

Some ships cruised in the middle of the river, and Leo Leslie and his party occupied the entire port, although there was a free dock at the port that could accommodate other ships, but no one dared to share a ferry with the Leslie family, and those boats cruising on the river could only wait for Leo Leslie and his party to leave.

This is humility!

Compared with more than 100 years ago, the concept of respect and inferiority in this era has become much more indifferent.

In the past, nobles and commoners were like different kinds, nobles had a circle where nobles lived, commoners had a world of commoners, and there was basically little communication between the two, when the nobles appeared, the commoners had to bow their heads and avoid it, and the commoners served the nobles, doing some work to wait and worship the nobles, just like the difference between worker ants and queen ants in the ant world.

At that time, the only way for the commoners to advance was to become clergy, and only by becoming missionaries of the Templars could they be on an equal footing with the nobles.

Now, it's a big difference from then.

Times have changed, the world has changed, and the gap between nobles and commoners is getting smaller and smaller.

In some places, even the nobles and commoners were superficially treated equally, and the schools there not only admitted the children of the nobles, but even accepted the children of the commoners with good talents or rich family resources, so that the nobles and the commoners lived in the same circle, of course, the commoners here were those wealthy merchants who did not have the title of nobility but had wealth.

However, this is a special case.

In the French Empire, there was still a clear distinction between nobles and commoners, even in Reims City, where the commercial development and ideas were more avant-garde, when the Leslie family, the lord of Reims City, traveled, idlers did not dare to approach.

Therefore, there is only one ferry crossing in Nuoda, and the Leslie family is here.

Just like the water blue star, when the head of state travels, it is natural to call and hug each other, and there will be special agents to clear the scene in advance to clear all kinds of dangers.

The so-called approachable is mostly just posing.

Shui Lanxing, who claims to be equal to everyone in the civilized world, can't get rid of that situation, not to mention, this Noah continent that advocates respect and inferiority, the Leslie family may not have such a pomp when they come out of Lance Ground, however, in Lance Ground, in this acre and three points of land of the Leslie family, Leslie is also the supreme existence.

"Adult ......"

Lebon Randolph stood beside Leo, his lower body as straight as a javelin, above the waist and abdomen, but with a natural bend, he bowed his head, his expression respectful, but this respect was very natural, at first glance it was sincere, not superficial, and without the slightest hint of humility.

At this time, Leo Leslie was looking at the sunset in the west.

Half of the setting sun had fallen on the other side of the mountain, and the other half was lying on the top of the mountain, from where the orange light departed and fell on the mountains in front of them and the river Reims that crossed through them.

The surface of the river was shining with golden light, like golden dragon scales.

This sight......

It's a similar sight!

Many years ago, in such a season, on such a day, Leo Leslie used to stand on the ground of the Coolant Ferry, as he does now, looking to the west, bathed in the boundless sunset.

"It's beautiful!"

He ignored Lebon Randolph and uttered the same exclamation as he had done so many years ago.

Specifically, it should be fifty years ago, when he was only in his twenties, but he had to leave the city of Reims to study in the imperial capital of Bahrain.

The reason for this was that he lost to his brother Ron Leslie in the battle for the heir of the head of the family, so he had to be banished to the imperial capital of Bahrain, far from the center of power in Reims. Yes, the core of the Leslie family is in Reims City, in Swan Castle, if a prominent family child is away from Swan Castle for a long time, it means that he has lost the power struggle and has to be banished, if there is no accident, he will not have a chance with the head of the family for the rest of his life.

At that time, the battle for the succession of the next generation of families was not fierce.

His father only had two sons, Ron and him, and the heirs of the next generation of the family could only be produced between the two of them, unless both died, in which case the children of the other side lines could participate.

Unlike now, Klein Leslie, the heir of the Leslie family, is already on the verge of death, and it won't be long before he throws himself into the arms of God.

Yes, he has left blood.

It's just that these bloodlines are all mixed with the blood of the untouchables, in the aristocratic world, illegitimate children actually have no human rights, the bloodline of the matrilineal family is very important to the nobles, the stronger your maternal bloodline, the more noble you are, take Klein as an example, his mother is also from the Hilton family of the blue-blood nobles.

Therefore, he is a well-deserved choice for this generation.

His illegitimate sons are not, especially before they are truly accepted by the family, even if they have the blood of the Leslie family, they are not the children of the Leslie family, so Leo gave the order to kill, let Lebon Randolph preside, and kill Klein's illegitimate children outside.

Even if such behavior is exposed, even if Ron Leslie catches the evidence, he is not afraid.

However, there is always a mistake in Baimi, not only Ryan Charles, but even David Silva escaped the pursuit, and now, these two have been taken back to the family by Ron Leslie, and they only need to go through a test, pass the trial, and the surname Leslie will be added to the middle of their names.

In this case, it is natural that we can no longer act as rudely as before.

If these two little guys die in an accident, even if it is not someone from Leo Leslie's side, it will be counted on his head, in that case, Ron will definitely take revenge, and most of Leo Leslie's direct children will die in an accident, so things will go in an extreme direction.

This will never be recognized by the family elders.

Yes, all big families have an elder, even if the patriarch can say anything in family affairs, however, when it comes to the life and death of the entire family, the elder council has supreme power, and the patriarch, as a member of the elders, only has two votes!

In fact, there is no real dictatorship.

Two days ago, Ron and Leo had a conversation, an hour or so of conversation, and that was the second meeting between the two since Leo Leslie returned to Reims.

The first meeting was when Ron welcomed Leo home.

After the second conversation, Leo Leslie also had this operation to go north.

Just like fifty years ago, he was reluctant to go north this time, and this time, he lost the battle with Ron and had to be banished, this time, the situation was very similar to that of fifty years ago.

During the conversation, Ron brought the Presbyterian resolution.

The Leslie House Council of Elders currently has twelve elders, and Ron is one of them, but Leo is not one of them, but a reserve candidate, one of the alternate elders, and once one of these twelve elders throws himself into God's arms, one of these alternate elders will become a new elder.

Leo had already stepped into that threshold with half a foot.

However, in the end, I was not able to enter the whole body.

He could not resist the resolution of the Presbyterian Church.

Yes, he could ignore the orders of the patriarch Ron Leslie, but it was impossible for him to resist the decision of the Presbyterian Church, unless he wanted to defect from the Leslies.

The order of the Council of Elders was simple, that is, to leave Reims and go to the imperial capital of Bahrain, to become the head of the Leslie family in the imperial capital, and not to leave his post without receiving a new order.

This is no different from fifty years ago.

The only difference is that he may not be able to return to Reims in his lifetime, unless his big brother Ron Leslie returns to Paradise Mountain before him.

This is the punishment, for what he did some time ago.

Of course, the Council of Elders didn't fall in favor of Ron.

Correspondingly, his two sons are also on the list of candidates for the next generation of family heads, there are ten candidates on this list, his two sons, and Klein's two illegitimate sons are on the list, in addition, there are several excellent children in the sideline, and once Klein dies, the trial of the head of the family begins.

Now, it's just the beginning of the preparations.

In his opinion, in this kind of trial, his two sons have a very great opportunity, the eldest of whom is in his thirties, has removed the impetuosity of a young man, is steady, and already has some strength.

As for the youngest son, although he is young, he is a rare genius.

Even if you can't become the patriarch of the Leslie family, you can make a difference, and of course, if you can become the patriarch, it will be the icing on the cake.

Both of these guys have a high chance of becoming the patriarch, and if it weren't for that, he wouldn't have obediently obeyed the order to go north like he does now.

After all, he was not the commander of the Imperial Southern Army, and he was not something to be bullied at will.

Retracting his gaze from the sunset, Leo turned to Lebon Randolph.

"My lord, will you let me serve you?"

This time he went north, Leo asked Lebon Randolph to stay in charge of the overall situation, and did not let him go north with him, speaking of which, in the seventy years, there are very few times when the two are really not together.

This farewell may be a farewell.

Therefore, Lebang had an objection and spoke out.

"Old fellow, I need you to watch for me here...... I don't have anyone to worry about except you!"

As he spoke, Leo Leslie patted Lebon on the shoulder.

"That one named Ryan, you have to pay more attention, work harder, don't make it too easy for him......"

"I know!"

Lebon Randolph nodded vigorously.
