"Bang!click!"

Riding on a horse and stepping on the shallow snow, Sandra saw the towering city gate tower from a distance.

"In front of you is the imperial capital. ”

An attendant shouted pointing ahead.

"It's finally back!"

Sandra wiped the sweat from her face and sighed.

Sandra was the envoy sent by Emperor Yus the Great to the ancient city of Aogu, and he was originally going to the city of Nice on a business trip, but he received an order to transfer to the ancient city of Aogu at the last minute. When it was confirmed that the Ogu family was gone, he hurried back to Boulder City from Ogu to report to His Majesty Vettels in person. Along the way, except for eating and sleeping, I didn't even rest for half a minute.

"Let's go, let's go into town!"

Sandra patted her horse's ass and took the lead in the direction of Boulder. It looked very close, but it was already half an hour later when I actually arrived at the bottom of the Boulder City, and the time was close to noon. As it approached the end of the year, there were many people entering and leaving the city gates, and the inspections were extremely strict, so the people and chariots and horses waiting outside the city gates had already lined up in long queues.

Sandra and her entourage have a special identity, of course, they don't have to queue up, they directly urge the horse to come to the city gate to show the seal representing their identity, and the soldiers guarding the gate immediately open the gate and release the person after confirming that the seal is correct. The others were not so lucky, including the nobles who swaggered and flaunted their might on weekdays, and no one had any privileges in front of the guards unless His Majesty the Emperor granted credit. At this moment, the group of people parked next to Sandra is like this, there are more than a dozen of them, the merchants' costumes, all wearing cloaks to keep out the cold, can only see that they are relatively tall, and they can't see their appearances clearly, and what is more noticeable is that there are several large carts of goods accompanying them, which are stopped by the defenders and are not allowed to pass, and their leader is negotiating with the captain of the guards, but it seems to be useless.

As soon as the floodgates opened, Sandra led his horse and led his men into the city, but as soon as he entered the city gate, a group of guards came out, led by a handsome and extraordinary young general.

"Lord Viscount, I haven't seen you for a long time, where have you gone on business?"

The young general saw Sandra and took the initiative to say hello.

"It turned out to be the captain of the George wing, and I am fortunate to be there! I went to the north to deal with some affairs on the orders of His Majesty, and I have just returned. ”

The man who came was none other than Andre Georges, the Wing Commander of the Guards. Although Andre is only a new co-captain, he is also a real power in Boulder, and his background is not trivial. His family was a long-standing aristocratic family, and his father, Earl George, served in the Imperial Treasury Department. Compared with his father, his mother is more noble, the eldest daughter of the former Prime Minister of the Empire, Duke Phelps, although Duke Phelps has resigned from the post of Prime Minister not long ago and basically retired from politics, but the Phelps family has strong roots and huge power, even if he retires, his influence in the empire is not small. It is precisely for this reason that Sandra was also unusually polite to Andre, the new captain of the Guards.

"Lord Viscount has worked hard. Invite the adults to the house for a gathering on another day. ”

Andre obviously had something important to do, and after greeting Sandra, he didn't do more and went straight out of the city gate.

"What happened?"

Seeing a group of businessmen being stopped by soldiers, the two sides were arguing, Andrei approached and asked.

"My lord, they brought three large boxes, and according to the regulations, they must all open them for inspection, but they are unwilling to cooperate. ”

Seeing that the immediate boss was coming, the captain of the guard hurriedly reported.

"Lord George, the goods in the box are the personal belongings of the Phelps family to the second princess in the palace, and it is really inconvenient for outsiders to inspect them. ”

The merchant obviously knew Andre and hurriedly stepped forward to explain.

"Is there a decree that His Majesty the Emperor will be exempted from inspection?"

Andrei asked.

"Nope!"

The merchant shook his head.

"Then it has to be checked. ”

Andrei said selflessly.

"Yes, but only adults can check it. ”

Seeing Andrei's resolute attitude, the merchant had to give in.

"Good!"

Andrei followed the merchant to the side of the boxes, opened them one by one, and immediately covered them after inspection, and finally found nothing.

"No contraband, release. ”

With a wave of his hand, Andre's subordinates immediately opened the gate and let them go.

The caravan entered the city, drove the carriage around the city, turned left and right, and finally came to the gate of a courtyard.

Entering the courtyard, the group unloaded the boxes from the carriage and carried them into the house, and several of the attendants took off their cloaks, and immediately revealed a completely different temperament from the merchants, several of them were old men with solemn faces, and several were young men with tall and strong bodies. The first thing they did was to open the lid of the box and turn over the fabric, revealing a large sword with a different style of handle but looking extraordinary. These swords were the weapons of several young men, which they took out and wore on their bodies. Then a few people sat down in the room and closed their eyes, and if anyone passed by at the moment, they could not hear any movement.

"Who?"

Although the house was unusually quiet, at dusk there was a sudden sound of footsteps rushing towards the courtyard gate.

"Me. ”

With a yes. As soon as there was a knock on the door, a man entered, and the group looked intently to see that it was Andre George, the captain of the Guards Wing who had inspected their boxes during the day.

"Is that you?"

Seeing Andre's appearance, the group didn't seem to feel any surprise.

"Yes, my lords. The Duke is my grandfather, and he put me in charge of coordinating this operation. ”

André replied after respectfully bowing to the people in the room.

"Is the palace in touch, when will we act?"

An old man with a majestic face asked.

"Let's get in touch and act the morning after tomorrow. ”

Andre licked his lips and said, I don't know why he felt that there were several mountains standing in front of him when he stood opposite these people, and an invisible pressure made his heart beat faster, even breathless.

"Is it too risky to operate during the day?"

A middle-aged man asked.

"It's good to act during the day! Although the risk is high, there is no future trouble after success, if you act at night, it is easy for the other party to escape, and then Yus may fall into chaos, which is what the Lord seeks to avoid. ”

Before Andre could speak, the majestic old man had already taken the initiative to explain for him.

"Don't worry, day or night, I promise that no one can escape. ”

A young man with a wide forehead and heavy eyebrows said.

"Before coming, the Lord gave me a special commandment. Don't take your enemies lightly, especially against the one who claims to be the best at using swords on the continent. ”

The majestic old man looked at his invincible companion and said with a smile.

"Who is the best sword player on this continent, let's wait until the day after tomorrow. ”

The young man with a wide forehead and heavy eyebrows sneered and said contemptuously.

"Will the teacher come this time?"

Another asked, diverting the subject.

In order to ensure the smooth progress of the task, the Lord has gone to ask the teacher, but it is not clear whether the teacher has agreed or not. ”

The group of people said a word, and completely put Andre aside.

"If the adults don't have any other problems, I'll go back now, and I'll pick you up the next morning. ”

Andrei finally found an opportunity to interject, he felt like he was locked in a cage full of fierce beasts, he was covered in a cold sweat, and he just wanted to leave as soon as possible.
