Chapter 1306: Destruction Beginning

They went to open the gates of the city, and even fought with the relatives of Lothair, and after nearly half an hour, the gates finally opened slowly, and Jerusha's army rushed in like fierce tigers. Suprin City was in chaos all of a sudden, but Boas and the others were smart enough to simply throw away their weapons and squat next to them, which made Lothair's relatives miserable. Without the protection of the city walls, the sons of Lothair had no power to resist, and a total of fourteen sons were buried in the city of Suprin. It's also to blame Lothair for being too confident, if he had known the risks and sent his sons to Hohenzollern, he wouldn't have been served to death. Of course, Lothair's son was rigid enough, and he still wanted to live and die with the city of Suprin. The destruction of the Lothair family was simply shocking, even Zhao Yougong himself didn't expect to be able to end it in one pot, and the group of Lothair royal family seemed to be waiting to be killed.

The fall of Supulin Castle, Zhao Yougong also fulfilled his promise, very tolerant of the surrendered people, the Dingguo army only patrolled the city and garrisoned, and did not loot, which made the Supulin soldiers and civilians greatly relieved, and also realized the correctness of surrender. Of course, the end of Suplin Castle has long been predestined, but it is still a little unbelievable that the Lothair family was wiped out.

When Dolle heard about the situation in Suplin Castle, the whole person fell into a stupor, with his wisdom, he couldn't figure out how he was served by someone, and Lothair had so many sons, didn't he know how to escape? As long as they fled to the Frankish kingdom, the Orientals couldn't do anything about them, thinking about it, Dolle could only admit that the Orientals had shit luck and ran into Gamasi's brainless and more than a dozen brothers, and none of them ran out. Lothair's daughters are also doomed to tragedy, I really don't know what the Easterners will do next, the opponent is too weak, and it is also impossible to lift the spirit.

After taking the castle of Suplin, the time also entered the end of the lunar month, and a winter snow landed in the north again, Zhao Yougong felt the cold snowflakes, and realized that he had forgotten the time a little. Taikang six years is coming soon, and he has been away from the Great Song Dynasty for more than a year, missing is a kind of lonely sadness, watching snowflakes flying, walking in the red dust, stretching out his hand, where is the hometown. War has taken too many lives, and similarly, it has brought too many benefits. Watching the ice and snow in the north, another year is about to pass, in this icy and snowy land, you can't feel the strong flavor of the year, and also because of the war, Westerners don't feel the taste of Epiphany. As the predecessor of Christmas, Epiphany is a very important holiday for every Westerner, but unfortunately, the Epiphany of the fifth year of Taikang is destined to be drowned in the flames of war. At the time of Epiphany, the Istrian heights were still in the midst of fierce battles, and the Germanic people were worried about the Istrian war.

Sanniang was busy preparing some things, although she was far away in the Kingdom of Saxony, Sanniang still wanted to give Zhao Yougong a little experience for a year, flour, meat filling, and then dumplings. Xiao Zhiyun was born in a wealthy Khitan family, and she didn't have too many requirements for the New Year, but Claire, after coming to Suplin Castle from Yumsburg, followed Sanniang to learn to make dumplings. In the bedroom, two women wrapped dumplings, Xiao Zhiyun was not interested in this, and accompanied Zhao Yougong to stand at the window and enjoy the wind and snow. The picture comes to a dream, the wind is drunk, the snowy night is like a mountain, where is the sky. The snow fell on the northern country, a blur, as if the world had become more vast, "Homesick again, bear with me, take the Baltic Sea as soon as possible, solve the Danes, and we can go home." ”

For anyone, it is always uncomfortable not to return home for a long time, the transportation is inconvenient, and the transmission of news has become the biggest problem. Zhao Yougong was a little worried about the situation in the imperial court, and he didn't know if Zhu Lian and Zhang Yi could resist the pressure, after all, the Chai family still had a breath of air, and they had to plan the affairs of the Imperial Avenue, and the imperial court was also facing a lot of pressure. In the Great Song Dynasty, there is a general lack of sufficient understanding of the Imperial Avenue, and they do not know what the final result will be. hugged Xiao Zhiyun's bewitching body and said with a faint smile, "Can you miss home, don't you want to?" I hope to solve the here, the Danes are in big trouble. Hey, I don't know what happened on the side of Lovednov, the Kingdom of Lorraine has to take it down, otherwise it won't be able to suppress the Germanic nobles, and it will have too much impact on our next plans. ”

"It shouldn't be too much of a problem, the Sosa family has completely fallen to us, Royce has also gone to Merlin City in person, plus Luo Weidenov is scheming, I think we can convince the Weting family to turn to us, if it really can't work, we can only use force. Now the Germanic nobles have tensed their nerves, once we use troops against the Lorraine Kingdom, I am afraid that it will cause the anger of the Germanic people, it is better not to move or not to move" Xiao Zhiyun has always kept a cool head, she is like a warm sweet spring, and she will always give a little comfort to Zhao Yougong when he needs it most. Zhao Yougong nodded lightly, the imperial army is indeed very strong, but it is also limited, and the biggest enemy at present is still the Danes, so it is better not to mess with the Germans. It is best to use soldiers in the affairs of the Lorraine Kingdom, at least the Dingguo Army cannot come forward, and the Dingguo Army directly sends troops to the Lorraine Kingdom, and the nature changes.

Claire in the room was learning to make dumplings and had a lot of fun, and when she saw Zhao Yougong and Xiao Zhiyun walking in, her little face that was originally smiling and chanting immediately tensed, and Zhao Yougong pouted helplessly, "Sanniang, what's wrong with this girl?" ”

Sanniang didn't raise her head, and whispered, "It's not a matter of marriage, this girl is unhappy, she said that Marina is a tigress." Sanniang wanted to say more, Claire couldn't stand it anymore, so she quickly put down the dumplings, shook her hand, and suddenly there was a white mist, "Don't say it, let him marry that tigress, hum, fight all day long, and don't forget that little bit of lust." ”

Xiao Zhiyun was also amused by Claire's ghost appearance, dare to love this girl will be jealous, Zhao Yougong shook his head, and did not bother with Claire. In fact, Zhao Yougong has a dispensable attitude towards marriage, mainly to win over the Wei Ting family, as long as the Wei Ting family can be turned to the Dingguo Army, it doesn't matter whether the marriage is married or not, in the final analysis, the marriage is just a means, and it is not so safe. Even if it is a marriage, if the Wei Ting family is determined not to follow the Dingguo Army, then the marriage is meaningless. As for whether Marina is a tigress or not, who cares? Perhaps, from the beginning, I never thought about marrying Marina, so my mood was not affected in the slightest. When Claire saw Zhao Yougong's faint expression, she lost interest and obediently wrapped the dumplings. After that, Yurico came to visit, and Zhao Yougong talked to him about South Saxony for a while, and then sent him away. Jurico is an old-fashioned man, and he has an inexplicable desire for South Saxony, but Zhao Yougong is not interested in South Saxony, if he attacks South Saxony, it will inevitably touch the sensitive nerves of the Germanic nobles, and once he gets into the quagmire of war, it will be worth the loss.

The next few days were much easier, covered with ice and snow, and there was no war, so I simply accompanied Sanniang and others to have a good year. What to do next, everything has to wait for news from Merlin City. It was already the end of the lunar month, and Supulin Castle was covered with ice and snow, and although it was not snowing on the side of Merlin City, it was also a cold wind, blowing so that people couldn't open their eyes. Towards evening, the door of the Ranjol Hotel in Merlin City was pushed open. Merlin City is an ordinary wine city, even if it is the Ranjol Hotel, there is also a supply of alcohol, such a cold wind, not many people are willing to be outside, rich and poor people go to the hotel to have a drink, those who have money live in the hotel, and those who have no money drink some wine in a corner of the house and fall asleep. At this time, it was the time of excitement, the door of the tavern was pushed open, and suddenly a cold wind poured in, and everyone could not help but shiver, and turned their heads to look, and in came a bearded man who was not good-looking, and because he was tightly wrapped, he could not see what he looked like, and behind the man was a young servant.

This unsightly man was the famous Kipros Lovidnov, but unfortunately, no one in the tavern knew him, and if they knew that the man who came was Lovidnov, they would have to give way in fright. Lovednov is not just a name, but an era, and there are many legends about him in the early years, this man followed Viache and made great achievements, and the most powerful Knights of the Hammer in Kiporos were also under his command. After Vyache's death, Lovednov was favored by the Orientals, and the Emperor of the East asked him to help with the military and political affairs, and by now, Lovednov is a veritable spokesman for Kipros. However, Lovednov himself was very low-key, just like now, he turned around and closed the door, and walked towards the counter with a trembling forehead like a passing merchant, "Come on some spirits, this hellish weather, it seems that the cold wind does not stop, and it is impossible to continue on the road." I wanted to get some wine back, but now I'm stuck in Merlin City. ”

When Lovidnov said this, he didn't want to attract the attention of others, let alone reveal his identity, as the spokesperson of the regent, he appeared in Merlin City, and once the news was revealed, the impact would be great. The bartender poured some rice wine and pushed it in front of Lovednov, and habitually chatted, "You are not the only unlucky person, half of the people who come to the hotel today are passers-by who are trapped in the city. Our Merlin City, it has been a long time since this kind of wind has blown, and it is almost time for snow to come, so guests, you are still a little mentally prepared, I'm afraid that there will be no three or four days, you can't leave Merlin City. ”

After drinking rice wine, his body finally warmed up, seeing that the bartender was so talkative, Luo Weidenov simply chatted with the bartender, "I really didn't see it, you will still see the stars, and you will know that it is going to snow without leaving home." ”

"I've lived in Merlin City for a long time, and I know that in Merlin City, the wind must blow before it snows, do you say that the evil door is not an evil door?" The bartender lay on the counter and talked endlessly, except for the one who bought the wine, no one caused trouble, so the bartender was also a little laid-back. Toss two gold coins to the bartender, and in addition to the wine money, the rest is considered a reward to the bartender. With the reward, the bartender smiled even more, and his attitude towards Lovidnov was even better, and Lovidenov took the opportunity to say, "There should be a room, can you help get a room, sleeping in this kind of place, it is somewhat unaccustomed, of course, if the money is not enough, it doesn't hurt to add more." ”

Looking at the group of drunks in the hall, there was a smell of everything, and Lovednov really couldn't stand it. What's more, if you want to stay in Merlin City for a while, you have to find a place to stay, and if you don't want to meet Royce at the moment, the tavern is a good choice. The bartender took the two gold coins handed over by Lovednov, lowered his voice and smiled, "If others ask, then there must be none, guest, even if you don't have a house, you have to make it up." ”

"That's good, it's okay to have nothing to do, let's talk about the interesting facts of Meilin City, when I first entered the city, I heard the people on the road say, our eldest lady in Meilin City seems to be getting married?" Luo Weidenov looked very interested, and touched his beard as he spoke, and the smile on the bartender's face suddenly disappeared, and he quickly booed, "Objective, don't talk nonsense, just talk about it in private, but don't let Miss Marina listen." ”

The bartender looked mysterious, as if there was nothing in the world that he didn't know, "You don't know, our Miss Marina is notoriously powerful, a few days ago, he took away the management of Merlin Avenue with his soldiers, and pointed to Jomy's quilt and scolded him in front of him, and the Wei Lan family didn't dare to squeak until now." The marriage is not a secret, but the eldest lady hates others to talk about it the most, and a servant in the Varro manor chews his tongue and is tied up by the eldest lady and whipped twenty times. I heard that Miss Marina is very uninterested in the Oriental Emperor, and I don't think this marriage is a good thing. ”

"Miss Marina is so powerful that even the Emperor of the East can't look down on her?" Luo Weidenov took a sip of wine with great interest, and looked at the bartender with a smile, this bartender belongs to the kind of person who loves to brag with a big mouth, seeing that Luo Weidenov listened so attentively, he suddenly had a sense of pride, "It's not just that I can't look down on it, that fat man Louis you know, that's the king of the Franks, and he still can't get into the eyes of the eldest lady, who was standing on Merlin Avenue in front of countless people, scolding Louis for being a toad." Hey, don't you think the eldest lady is amazing? Therefore, it is not uncommon to look down on the Emperor of the East. ”

Luo Weidenov heard a cold sweat, this Miss Marina is so strong, no wonder Royce has not made progress for so many days, it seems that he was suppressed by the eldest lady. However, Luo Weidenov was not too worried, the purpose of his trip was to make the Weiting family fall to the empire, and as for the marriage, if it really didn't work, it could be abandoned. Then from the bartender, Lovednov heard something more, and the bartender said a lot about the Welan family and the Luke family. Of course, after the bartender adds oil and vinegar, you have to filter it once. From the bartender, Lovednov sensed that Merlin City was not necessarily as calm as it seemed. Perhaps in the eyes of the bartender, what happened on Merlin Avenue was insignificant, but Lovednov did not think so. The interests of Merlin Avenue are not indispensable, the main thing is that they are of great significance, the Wei Ting family can move Merlin Avenue, they will continue to move the interests of other aspects, and even if the Wei Lan family and the Luke family show their determination, they have to do something. But now, Merlin City is unusually quiet, the Luke family has done nothing, and there is a lot of movement on the side of Varro Manor, under the direct order of Holnan, the city patrol not only took Merlin Avenue, but also took over the South City Bazaar run by the Luke family. Could it be that the Luke family and the Weilan family have just admitted it? The calmer the scene, the louder the movement will be once the commotion starts. Huo Nan is still a little careless, after taking Meilin Avenue, he should slow down, and then he will start the Nancheng Market, which is quite anxious. Maybe Hornan felt that he had something to rely on, but now that the negotiations had not yet been officially underway, and Marina was also a variable, he was so sure that the Empire would definitely cooperate with the Weiting family?

If Holnan really thinks so, it is a big mistake, the empire has the Northern Lorraine nobles firmly in their hands, and they are cautious in managing Saxony, as long as they do not take the initiative to go south to deal with the Germanic nobles, these Germanic heroes will naturally not take the initiative to cause trouble. It is naturally good to let the Wei Ting family fall to the empire, but if the price is too great, it can only give up. Hornan is too confident, he will definitely suffer if he continues like this, Luo Weidenov doesn't want to see the Weiting family weakened, no matter what, the existence of the Weiting family can bring many benefits to the empire. After chatting with the bartender for a while, Lovednov went upstairs and went into his room, and when the bartender left, he called his attendant to his side, "The situation in Merlin City is very wrong, you go out in a while, tell the others to keep an eye on the Luke family and the Veran family by all means, and in addition, the little prince Moore will also send more people." If there's anything unusual on Karon's side, you don't need to ask for instructions, just kill him first. ”

A Merlin city, the forces are intricate, it seems that the Red Grape nobles led by the Weiting family are the most powerful, but there are also many forces hidden in the shadows. We must try our best to find out the situation, and at this time we must not hesitate at all, and if we delay for a moment, we may lose all our achievements. For the Frankish messenger Caron, Lovednov did not have a good impression, the others could not move, but there was absolutely no problem in moving Caron. Due to the future Baltic strategy, the empire will definitely go west to Denmark and annex the island of England, and when the time comes, a conflict with the Franks is inevitable, and since it is an enemy, it does not need to be too polite. The cold wind was blowing outside, and there were few pedestrians, and it was in this bad weather that a man was tightly wrapped and walked quickly towards the Nanlin Manor, where the Luke family was located, wrapped in black skin, and no one could see his appearance clearly. When he came to the gate of the manor, he was naturally stopped by the guards, "This is Nanlin Manor, and you must not be summoned by Earl Lafford, and you are not allowed to break in." ”

"Tell Laffle, and say that Thurin City Moore asks to see him" The man who came took off his hood and showed a handsome face, who could this person be if he was not the little prince Moore? The guard was taken aback, quickly confessed, and hurried to pass the word. The cold wind was raging, the snow and ice were ready to fall at any moment, and in this kind of weather, no one wanted to go out, and the older Laford got, the worse his spirit became, and now it was not yet day, so he lay down by the fireplace and took a nap. The Luke family is not a big family like the Sousa and the Weting family, and their influence is limited, but the ability of a family to stand in Merlin City for two hundred years without falling is in itself. The big family has the way of living of the big family, and the small family has the way of the small family. Raffle's father was in poor health and died at the age of thirty, so Laffle inherited the title of earl at the age of fourteen, and to this day, it has been more than fifty or forty years of experience, and Ladford's heart has long been honed like an abyss, unfathomable. When Hor Nan attacked Merlin Avenue, many nobles of the Wei Lan family and the Luke family couldn't sit still, clamoring to teach Hol Nan a lesson. Only Rafford remained calm, as if nothing had happened.

Not only did Raffle not retaliate against Hornan, but he also ordered the family to clamp their tails from now on and behave, and if anyone went to trouble the Wei Ting family, no one would help if something happened. Is Raffle cowardly? No, he's not cowardly at all, he just sees farther and deeper than others. If the Wei Ting family dares to move Merlin Avenue, they must have made up their minds to centralize power, Huo Ernan is not a fool, will he not rely on it? I'm afraid that at this time, he is looking forward to the Luke family to make trouble, and he has a reason to further weaken the opposition. Decades of experience have made Rafford understand a truth, recklessness and courage cannot achieve great things, to truly control the overall situation, you must first see through the situation, before seeing the situation clearly, the only thing you can do is to stand still, sometimes, the more you do, the more you make mistakes. The senile Raffle always gives people a feeling of weakness, but who can really see through him? Rafford has been waiting, waiting for the interests of all parties to lose patience and surface. With the strength of the Luke family, it would be wishful thinking to deal with the Weiting family, even if all the family weapons were concentrated, it was already less than one-tenth of the Weiting family. However, Raffle has his own family wisdom, and it is not terrible to be weak, but it is terrible not to know how to borrow. When the guards came running in, Raffle smiled, and after waiting so long, finally someone came.

Surrounded by the guards, Moore walked into the Nanlin Manor, which was not magnificent, but it was small and powerful, just like Rafford's personality, which was plain and sharp. Looking at Moore in front of him, he was not surprised at all, it was impossible, Moore represented the royal Henry family, and the Henry family actually had the idea of attacking the Weiting family, which was really unexpected. Even Rafford didn't think that the Henry family harbored evil intentions, and Holnan's wouldn't even think of it. Moore looked up and down, and immediately pursed his lips, secretly saying in his heart, what did his father think, he valued Raffle so much, this old man was about to die, his old eyes were dizzy, what was the use? Rafford keenly caught the disdain in Moore's heart, and he was not annoyed, but just motioned for Moore to sit down and speak, "His Royal Highness Moore came really fast, I thought that Caron would be the first to come, it seems that the royal family and the senate are still unwilling after all." ”

Moore was astonished, and the contempt in his heart was greatly reduced, and he frowned, and whispered, "Sir Rafford, do you know what I mean?" Or, did you expect me to come to you? ”

"Isn't it? It seems that the royal family can't intervene in the matter of Marina's marriage at all, since it can't be intervened, just send a senate attendant over, why send a prince here? Royce lives in Varro Manor, and the Wettin family is likely to fall to the Easterners, and at this time, the most anxious person should be Caron, but the first thing that can't help it is you" Raffle is still drowsy and can't open his eyes, but his words are full of wisdom, which makes people unable to extricate themselves, Lafford also intends to teach Moore a lesson, this hairy boy, his eyes are above the top, and he should take some lessons, "Hey, if the expectations are good, I'm afraid that before coming to Merlin City, the royal family has already made a deal with the Louis family, right?" ”

Moore was a little unimpressed at first, but the more he listened, the more solemn his face became, and finally his right hand trembled slightly, and he almost spilled his glass on the ground. At this moment, he no longer dared to underestimate Rafford, this old man, as if he could see through people's hearts, was really terrifying. You must know that all this stems from Rafford's analysis, and his only reliance is on the situation. The transaction between the royal family and the Franks was very secretive, and even many in the Senate did not know about it, but such a secret thing was not hidden from Rafford. Putting down the wine glass, Moore stood up and saluted respectfully, "The Earl is really wise, since you have guessed, then I will not hide it, the royal family does have a deal with the Franks." The Senate also did not agree with the Lorraine Kingdom to turn to the Easterners, so the royal family reached an agreement with the Louis family. The Louis family would support the royal family to regain power, and all the royal family had to do was to ensure that South Lorraine would not fall to the East. ”

Rafford did not doubt Moore's words, and in fact it was not surprising that the royal family had made such a choice. Whether it is North Lorraine or South Lorraine, the red and white vineyard nobles who fall to the Orientals can guarantee their own interests, only the royal family, and the Orientals will inevitably be suppressed like never before in order to completely control the Kingdom of Lorraine. Therefore, every nobleman in the Kingdom of Lorraine can turn to the Easterners, but the royal family cannot. The eastern aristocracy led by Frederick and the Danube aristocracy were unreliable, and the strength of the blacksmith family was not enough, so they were picked and chosen, and only the Franks in the west were really worth relying on. The royal family is very correct in this move, but it must also be careful enough, leaking the slightest rumor, with the concerted efforts of the nobles of Southern Lorraine and Northern Lorraine, the first unlucky must be the royal family, who let Thurin City be sandwiched between North and South Lorraine? Of course, Raffle will not be moved by Moore's words, the royal family's control over South Lorraine is not very good, if you want to control South Lorraine, the first thing to deal with is the red grape nobles led by the Weiting family, this is probably Moore's intention, "Your Highness Moore, do you have any plans?" The thousands of lives of the Luke family cannot be ambiguous. ”

Rafford's words were unclear, but Moore still understood the meaning, this is to see the strength of the royal family. The strength is strong, so join forces to kill the Wei Ting family, control Merlin City, and slowly collect the red grape nobles, the strength is not enough, then thank you Bumin, where to go back and forth. Rafford's face was so pale, that no one could tell what he was thinking. Moore sat down again and continued in a faint voice, "The royal family has sent five thousand troops to ambush outside Merlin City, as long as the wind and snow stop, they can reach Merlin City. The Earl has lived in Merlin for a long time, and I think there is a way to open the gates. With the royal army, plus the Luke family and the Weilan family, Holnan's hasty response was bound to be defeated. ”

The army of 5,000 is a small number, the Kingdom of Lorraine is not a military power like the eastern aristocracy, the high-ranking royal family and the senate can gather more than 10,000 people at most, and half of the manpower can be taken out at once, which can definitely be regarded as a generous shot. Raffle didn't answer immediately, but squinted his eyes and carefully calculated, the real manpower that the Wei Ting family and the Red Grape family can use is about 7,000 people, the royal army is 5,000 people, and the Luke family and the Wei Lan family can also make up more than 2,000 people, and the strength of the two sides is about the same, but Huo Nan would not think of the ambition of the royal family, so the chance of this battle is still very good, when he opened his eyes, he suddenly shone brightly, Rafford stroked his beard and said with a faint smile, "Your Highness, rest assured, the north city gate can be opened at any time, as long as the royal family can abide by the agreement." , after the fact that the Luke family is going to become the lord of Merlin, and there can be no other Luke family in South Lorraine. ”

"Lord Earl, the Henry family will never break its promise, if the Weiting family is destroyed, the Luke family will dominate South Lorraine" Moore is young, but there is an indescribable old age, and the wine in the glass is drunk, showing a free and easy meaning.

About half an hour later, Moore quietly left Nanlin Manor wrapped in black skin, he was careful along the way, but all this still fell into the eyes of others. As he approached, Lovednov received news from his attendants, and he keenly felt that he had guessed correctly, and that under all this calm, there was a greater crisis. The spies who came to Merlin City were a group of outsiders, and they were not familiar with the affairs of the Lorraine Kingdom, and Luo Weidenov still didn't know who the man wrapped in black skin was, and he didn't know the identity of the other party, so how to deal with it? After thinking about it, he could only make a dangerous move, "You should know the guards who guarded Nanlin Manor at that time, and if you catch one of the guards secretly, you must find out the identity of the other party." ”

"Lord Luo Weide, isn't this a bit hasty, once we do it, our whereabouts can't be hidden" The attendant persuaded with a worried face, Luo Weidenov tightened his face and smiled coldly, "If you can't hide it, you won't hide it, I'll go see Royce tomorrow, it seems that I want to meet Hornan earlier, the situation in Merlin City is a bit dangerous." ”

With the order of Lovednov, the people outside quickly moved, and at dawn finally figured out the identity of the other party. Getting the news he wanted, Lovednov was not at all relaxed, but felt a little heavy. It was not Caron who ran to Nanlin Manor, let alone the nobles of South Lorraine, it turned out to be the harmless little prince Moore. Behind Moore stood the royal family, and no one knew what the little prince was planning, but it must have been a huge plan for Merlin City. What exactly is Moore going to do? Why dare you get involved in the affairs of South Lorraine? Lovidnov felt that he still knew too little about the Kingdom of Lorraine, and the limited information could not penetrate Moore's plan at all. Yes, Caron, why didn't Caron show up? Lovidnov suddenly seemed to understand something, Moore came, Caron did not, the most anxious people were not anxious, and the least anxious people were anxious, if there was a reasonable explanation, it could only be that Moore and CuarΓ³n had already discussed. After dawn, the cold wind was less, but the snowflakes fell one after another, and the city of Merlin became a white city, and the goose feathers and snow flakes fell on the coats, and it took a long time to melt, and the pedestrians on the road were still sparse, and the vendors did not know where to hide the cats. Lovednov left the tavern and walked slowly towards the Varro estate.

Under the heavy snow, the Varro Manor looks even more beautiful, dotted with a little greenery, dotted with the quaint castle, as if you have come to a magical wonderland. Because Lovednov was really not dressed very well, and he was shivering with cold, the guards at the door directly regarded Lovednov as a homeless man on the street. The two guards held the hilts of their swords and reached out to push Rovetonov, "Where are the bandits, can you enter this place, why don't you get out of here?" ”

Lovednov was in a good mood, but he was scolded by two guards, and he immediately wanted to get angry. It's really a dog's eye to look down on people, the Wei Ting family is really arrogant, people have to bow their heads under the eaves, there is fire in their hearts, and they still put on a smiling face and said, "May I ask if Lord Royce lives in the manor, and I am still bothered to spread the word that an old friend from the east is visiting." Since ancient times, it was the king of Hades who was easy to provoke, and the little ghosts were difficult to deal with, and Luo Weidenov took out the gold coins in his pocket, and the two guards finally softened their faces.

"I didn't expect it to look inconspicuous, but there is some money, wait, I'll go and tell Lord Royce, as for whether I see you, it's hard to say" The guard took the gold coin and entered the manor, and Lovednov could only sigh in vain. It was not yet noon, and it was snowing heavily, and Royce hid on the couch and closed his eyes to recuperate. Hearing the knock on the door, the guard glanced at Royce and said nonchalantly, "Lord Royce, there is a bearded man looking for you outside, saying that he is from the east." ”

"From the east?" Royce didn't react for a while, but he quickly understood, and quickly got dressed, "Let him come in, it is estimated that an old friend has arrived, but I didn't expect this weather to come to Merlin City." ”

The guards did not suspect him and went to get people, anyway, this is the west of the manor, it does not belong to the core area, and nothing can happen. Rovidnov suffered from the cold outside for a long time, and when he entered the house, he hurriedly sat next to him to roast the fire, Royce stood aside and rubbed his hands a little embarrassed, his heart was already full of turbulence, but he didn't expect the regent to send Rovidnov here, "Lord Rovid, you are... Why didn't you give a word in advance? ”

"It's too late to inform the makeshift decision made at the base camp, you sit down first, and I'll discuss some important matters with you" Lovednov told him in detail what happened in Nanlin Manor, and Royce was dumbfounded when he heard it, the royal family actually hooked up with the Luke family. Royce quickly understood what this meant, and he knew that what Howldnov really wanted to see was Hornan, but he needed to meet quietly. The Luke family has been standing in Merlin City for so many years, they must have their own eyes and ears, and they went directly to see Holnan, and it is estimated that the news has reached the ears of the Luke family before they have seen Holnan. Seeing that Royce was silent, Luo Weidenov laughed in a low voice, "The matter is not as serious as imagined, no matter what, the Weiting family is also a Merlin family. In fact, the union of the Luke family and the royal family is not all bad, at least it is still beneficial to us, there is a threat from the royal family, and the Weiting family must listen to us. ”

"What the adults said is good, but how to see Holnan, you have to plan a little, I am afraid that there are many other people's eyes and ears around Hornan" Royce thought for a while, knocked on his forehead, and said with a wry smile, "I still have to be wronged to be an adult, whether I can meet Holnan, it has to fall on Miss Marina." ”

"There is nothing wronged or wronged, you try your best to arrange it" Luo Weidenov is not the kind of pedantic person, he is free and easy, and he can bend and stretch. Royce had no scruples, chatted a few words, and hurried out of the room. A quarter of an hour later, Royce appeared outside the castle, and after just a few moments, Marina walked out leisurely. In her spare time, Marina is always dressed in leather armor and does things in a hurry, "You're not dead yet, tell me, what are you going to do this time." ”

It's been some time since I've been in contact, and Royce knows Marina well, this eldest lady eats soft and not hard, just coax more, "Miss Marina, I just had a friend over there, he is a famous swordsman in Hohenzollern, didn't the eldest lady keep saying that she wanted to find a good teacher, why don't you let him try?" ”

"Hmph, Miss Ben really doesn't have much confidence in your vision, it's quite Miss Ben's teacher, you must have real skills" Marina asked the servant to fetch the cloak and followed Royce towards the west. Luo Weidenov is a wise man, he does not rely on force to eat, the result can be imagined, in the face of the imposing Miss Marina, Luo Weide, who is full of military books, was beaten with a blue nose and swollen face. Marina beats people, the movement is not small, and the people outside don't know what the actual situation is, so they can only run to the castle to tell the truth. As soon as Huo Nan heard that her baby daughter ran to find an unknown person to compete, her heart sank, and she was afraid that something would happen, so she rushed over with Yakuta Fei.

Lovidnov was depressed, thinking that he was a dignified Kipros, but he was beaten by a girl, if it wasn't for the big plan, he had to teach this girl a lesson. Holnan pushed open the door in a hurry, saw Marina was hairless, and stood there pointing at Royce and Luo Weide and scolded, "This is the famous great swordsman of Hohenzollern, Royce, how do your Sosa family's eyes grow?" ”

Phew, Hornan looked at her baby daughter with a smile and a smile, Marina couldn't see it, he could see it. This person has a solemn appearance, and there is a kind of momentum between his eyebrows, which is only possessed by great nobles, and his hands are not calloused, so he is not a great swordsman at first glance. However, Holnan didn't say anything, the other party led him over, obviously with deep meaning, and with a wink, Yakuta withdrew from the room and yelled at the guards in the courtyard, "Okay, let's all disperse, Miss Marina is not in a good mood and wants to be quiet." ”
