Despite the crowds, everyone was silent and lonely. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info evaluation of the world and oneself cannot be correctly staggered. We do not live in a ruined world, but in a world of confusion. We are like abandoned children, lost in the forest. When you stand in front of me and look at me, do you know the sorrow in my heart? Do you know the sorrow in your own heart?

- Franz Kafka (Austrian novelist)

Bai Feng and his party hurried to the county town of Perpignan, the capital of Perpignan Province, before night completely fell.

There were no marquises, dukes, or other great nobles in the province of Perpignan, nor were there any imperial standing legions, but the counts who served as the lords of the county of Perpignan were not lowly nobles, and the 3,000 city guards in the county were not useless peasants.

This is also the practice of the Celestial Dragon Empire, in the province where there is no marquis or duke, the earl canonized by the emperor is generally the county guard of the counties under the jurisdiction of the province, and each county is equipped with an average of 1,000 city defense troops, and the county where the provincial capital is located has 3,000 city defense troops.

Since the county where the provincial capital is located has a higher status than the county guards, and because the county where the provincial capital is located has three times as many garrisons as ordinary counties, the county where the provincial capital is located often serves as the governor of the province.

Count Rundstead, who has always been known as an iron-blooded general, is not only a battle-hardened general of the Dragon Empire, but also the governor of Perpignan Province, which he sits in, was once upon a time one of the safest provinces in the Dragon Empire!

Even if the current Perpignan Province is no longer one of the most secure provinces in the Heavenly Dragon Empire, it cannot be denied that the security of Perpignan Province is good;

For a non-frontier province like Perpignan, it should have been common to keep the gates open all night, and the laws of the Empire had never been so strict, otherwise there would not have been so many thieves and robbers in the Empire.

Faced with the county town of Perpignan in front of them, which strictly enforced the laws of the empire, Bai Feng and the others, who did not want to reveal their identities, had to reveal their identities to the city guards on the city wall, but the family coat of arms representing the identities of Bai Feng and the others did not make the city gate open immediately.

On the premise of not ascertaining the identity of Bai Feng and the others, the well-trained soldiers of the city defense army hurriedly sent knights to report the matter to the Count of Rundstead in the governor's palace, and only after the order of Count Rundstedd was issued, the soldiers of the city defense army opened the city gate.

This kind of back-and-forth report was delayed for more than ten minutes, until the city defense army opened the city gate, and the impatient Long Zhan and Sun Ce were a little dissatisfied, but Bai Feng couldn't help but be impressed by the city defense army in Perpignan County.

A city defense army that was not even the regular army of the empire was able to face the status of a high-ranking nobleman and maintain a posture of neither humility nor arrogance, and their performance really shocked Bai Feng, but Bai Feng was more interested in the dragon steadt that he had trained them with his own hands.

As soon as Bai Feng and the others entered the city, they met the butler of Count Rundstead who had been ordered to invite them to the Governor's Palace;

From this butler alone, Bai Feng felt the iron-blooded aura that a battlefield veteran should have, which made Bai Feng, who was already full of curiosity about Count Rundstedd, more and more curious, even the butler has such a demeanor, what about the bearing of Count Rundstedd himself?

The soldier's style of acting is simple and fast, and the butler of Count Rundstead didn't say a word along the way, and without saying a word, he took Bai Feng and the others to the Governor's Palace of Count Rundstead, but not everyone was qualified to meet the Earl.

Hans's Germanic berserkers and more than forty other guards were all arranged by the attendants in the governor's palace in a separate and spacious courtyard in the backyard, and five girls, including Yue'er and Binglan, were left behind, including Long Xin, Sun Quan, and Li Shimin.

The people who were taken by the housekeeper to meet Count Rundstead were actually only Bai Feng, Li Jiancheng, Sun Ce, Long Zhan, and Peter; as for why Count Rundstead would make such a decision, it was not for Bai Feng and the others to know.

Because among Bai Feng and the other five, only Li Jiancheng, Sun Ce, and Peter have the right to inherit the head of the family, Bai Feng and Long Zhan are the second eldest in the family, and they do not have the right to inherit the head of the family; in addition, Sun Quan and Li Shimin are also the second in the family, but they were not called.

The five people who didn't know why followed behind the butler, spared the governor's mansion for most of the time before coming to the martial arts arena where Count Rundstead was; as soon as he walked into the martial arts arena, Bai Feng subconsciously shifted his gaze to the old man in the martial arts arena.

This silver-haired old man was holding an ordinary long-pole bright silver spear, and he wielded this bright silver spear without using spiritual power, and the eight warriors who were fighting against the old man were all suppressed by the shadows of the spears in the sky and had no power to fight back.

Finally, after glancing at each other, the two warriors actually took a step back at the same time and threw the spear in their hands towards the old man with all their might.

The calm old man watched two spears shoot towards his chest and back, but he didn't panic in the slightest, he first repelled the other six warriors who wanted to rush up with lightning speed, and then calmly swung his spear to block.

The six fighters who had just wanted to grasp the fighter plane looked helplessly at the spears in their hands that had been broken in two, and withdrew from the battle with a wry smile;

Looking at the eight warriors standing side by side in front of him, Count Rundstead commented with a heartfelt attitude: "Your strength is still good, but it is far from enough in terms of cooperation; ”

"Obey the general's teachings! I will train diligently in the future!" The eight respectful warriors accepted Count Rundsteadt's instructions without pretentiousness, and Count Rundstead nodded and threw the bright silver spear in his hand to the butler beside him.

"Presumably you are the Bai Feng kid of the Bai family, right?" Count Longdstead, who came straight to Bai Feng and the others, smiled at Bai Feng with a blank face: "I am friends of life and death with the three old immortals of your Bai family, and I hugged you fifteen years ago." ”

"The three old immortals of the Bai family?" Facing Count Longdstede's bluntness, Bai Feng, who was two generations shorter, had to smile bitterly: "Your Excellency, I really haven't heard grandpa mention you, I didn't expect your relationship with them to be so close!"

"Of course they can't mention me in front of you children!" Count Rundstead, who laughed, mocked nonchalantly: "With the character of the three old immortals of your family, how could they tell others that I beat them every day!"

Well, this kind of gossip involving the elders of his family, Bai Feng, as a junior of the family, really can't say much, fortunately, Count Rundstead has no intention of saying any more, and after briefly getting to know Li Jiancheng and the others, he left first.
