Chapter 60: Chaos (1)
"Why did you say that the Grand Duke of Southeast suddenly remembered to choose a husband for his daughter?"
On the street of Lin'an City, Wang Hao asked Honglian as he walked. This thing is indeed strange, although it is similar to the feudal system now, but it is by no means a feudal society, the wife and miss of a large family do not go out of the door, on the contrary, the little girls are now more open than the other, the social contact is very wide, there is no contact circle at all, and there is no such thing as a boyfriend.
What's more, for the Grand Duke, her status and status, there must be a reason why she suddenly made such a thing as recruiting relatives at this time.
Honglian's family is all mixed in the political circle, and they have always been more sensitive to matters involving politics, so after thinking about it, they were not sure: "Is it because the political situation has not been stable recently, and the Grand Duke wants to win over some powerful allies in this way?" ”
"No, it won't." Wang Hao shook his head and said: "There is such a thing as a political marriage, but it is generally carried out in private, one-to-one mode, if it is a marriage with a big family, there is no need to use the way of recruiting relatives at all." In this way, it is clear that recruiting relatives is one-to-many, that is, it may not be able to guarantee who will be recruited in the end, and at the same time, it will offend many other people, which is counterproductive. ”
"Then I can't figure it out." Honglian was also very strange: "How does this feel like a costume drama on TV?" ”
Before the two of them spoke, they had already arrived at the place where they were recruited.
This is the official residence of the Grand Duke of the Southeast, funded and built by the Southeast State, processed at the mouth of the Qiantang River, covering an area of several hundred acres, and is a large garden complex in the Southeast State.
Around the mansion, there are already red and colorful everywhere, and the periphery is full of beaming soldiers wearing ribbons, looking at their brochure signs, it should be an elite division of the state.
"Amazing, this can be regarded as taking advantage of the public." Wang Hao said with a smile: "Even the troops of the state have been sent to maintain order. ”
"The business of the Grand Duke is the business of the public family." Honglian also smiled.
Entering from the gate of the mansion that is five or six meters high, it is not far away, there is a huge lawn square, on which there are already many people standing densely waiting, a rough look, I am afraid that there are no less than two or three hundred, one by one is gorgeously dressed, from teenagers to dozens of years old, gathered in groups of three or five.
It seems that these people are here to participate in the recruitment, Honglian knows a lot of people, and they give Wang Hao guidance and introduction from the beginning to the end.
introduced a circle, most of the people in it are the descendants of the military and political dignitaries of the southeastern states, as well as the children of the core families of the great nobles, these people have been highly talented since childhood, and they are all cultivated by the family, and they are very promising to inherit the family in the future. However, only such an identity is qualified to participate in the recruitment of relatives, and the general second-rate figures, the children of the side branches will not be considered at all.
"Aren't these people guarded?" Wang Hao suddenly found a problem, these people on the lawn actually came alone, and not a single guard saw it.
Honglian said with a smile: "If they still bring guards, then there will be tens of thousands of people today, no matter how big the mansion is, it is said that all the guards are resting at the Qiantang Post Station ten kilometers away." He pointed to the woods around the lawn in the distance, and said, "In the core area of the southeastern state, in the place of the Grand Duke, there are three major personal guard battalions of the Grand Duke to protect them, and you are afraid that something will happen?" ”
Looking in the direction pointed by the red lotus, I saw that in the surrounding woods, there were many figures shaking, and I observed it from a distance with the pupil of insight, basically all of them were masters of the seventh and eighth orders, and there were also holy realms among them. Coupled with the elite combat division stationed outside the mansion, as Red Lotus said, this is only the safest place besides the Huaxia King's station.
Wang Hao shook his head and smiled: "The Grand Duke is also too fussful, her three major guard battalions, the Dire Crocodile Battalion, the Tiger Ben Battalion, and the Tenglong Battalion, any one who sends half of the people is enough to maintain order, and it is around the capital, where do you need to make such a big battle." Besides, these young masters are not weak in their own superpowers. ”
Looking at the past from the pupil of insight, most of these noble young masters have superpowers of the sixth and seventh order, and the weakest ones also have fifth-order superpowers, and even have a holy domain, this kind of ability may not be great in Wang Hao's opinion, but in all fairness, it is already very good, and it can be said that the leader of the young area of the southeast state is here today.
"Who doesn't say it, it may be that the Grand Duke loves her baby daughter and wants to give her future son-in-law a dismount." Red Lotus smiled.
Wang Hao was about to say something, when suddenly a flash of inspiration occurred in his mind, and he blurted out: "It's not right!" ”
"Huh? Big brother, what's wrong, what's wrong? Honglian was stunned for a moment and asked unexpectedly.
Wang Hao frowned, turned around in place a few times, and said: "As we just said, there will be no danger here at all, the only ones with superpowers are these noble young masters, then you say, why did the Grand Duke arrange these personal guards?" ”、
"Maintain" Honglian was stunned before she could speak, and opened her mouth wide and exclaimed, "No, won't you!!! ”
"That's right, the guards in these mansions may be dealing with these noble young masters, and an elite division stationed outside the mansion is dealing with the guards they brought, resting at the Qiantang Post Station ten kilometers away!" Wang Hao said.
"Big brother, it's not that I doubt your judgment, but this is too unbelievable." Honglian's face was full of incredulity, and she said, "Why does the Grand Duke of the Southeast want to deal with the elite of the younger generation of the Southeast State?" It's pretty much the same to woo over. Besides, offending all these people is equivalent to offending all the powerful nobles of the entire state, and if the Grand Duke does this, he will directly take the blame and resign. ”
Wang Hao thought for a while and said, "I don't know why, but we can give it a try." ”
"How do you try?" Red Lotus asked.
"Let's go." Wang Hao waved his hand, and with the red lotus, he retreated towards the way he came, preparing to leave the mansion.
Who knew that as Wang Hao expected, not far after the two of them walked out of the lawn, a small group of tiger camp guards with tiger logos on their chests appeared, politely blocking their way and asking them what services they needed.
"I'm leaving, I've got something going on at home." Wang Hao said.
The guard said with a smile: "Please also ask your lord to wait a while, the Grand Duke will come out to lecture later, both of them are young nobles, this kind of opportunity is rare, it is not too late to leave after the Grand Duke has finished speaking." ”
What else did Honglian have to say, Wang Hao stopped him with a look, and the two of them retreated back to the lawn.
"See, don't let go." Wang Hao whispered.
Honglian also frowned: "What does this mean, what is the Grand Duke going to do?" ”
"Who knows?" Wang Hao picked up the phone and dialed a few numbers, the number of Zhenhai City.
There was no sound on the other end of the phone for a long time, and even the signal was blocked.
"Damn, the Grand Duke doesn't want to slaughter all these people." Red Lotus was surprised.
"Who knows?" Wang Hao shrugged
About an hour later, some people came one after another, and seeing that all those who should have come came, there was a heavy sound in the direction of the door of the Grand Duke's mansion, and the door was actually closed.
There was a temporary rostrum on the lawn, and in a burst of salute, two teams of flags were unfurled, and knights with bright armor escorted a middle-aged beautiful woman slowly onto the rostrum.
This woman is dressed in a light blue robe, outlining the curves of her mature body, a face is serious but not old-fashioned, but a little pretty, but the corners of her eyes and eyebrows have a murderous aura that is not revealed, she looks less than thirty years old, but her skin is not inferior to that of a girl, and she wears a family mark of a fire phoenix on her chest, which is the Grand Duke of Southeast himself.
"Huangfu Yun's vision is not bad." Wang Hao smiled secretly, this woman is almost middle-aged, she still looks glamorous, and she is afraid that she is also a superb beauty when she is young.
Next, after a routine greeting ceremony, the Grand Duke of Southeast began to speak.
The content of her remarks is very interesting.
She doesn't seem to be recruiting relatives, but taking a political class, starting from the life of the old man in the old era, talking about the new Shida, and then talking about the struggle between the new man and the old man.
The nobles in the audience were also confused, what did this grand duke mean? Do you teach us to be loyal and patriotic, or do you want us to hunt down more old humans? But it doesn't sound like that.
The Grand Duke's tone was full of compassion.
"Everyone, you are all young pillars of the state, and your family members are all important members of the state, of course, you also know that the new human and the old human are actually the same species at all, the only difference is that the new human needs to suck blood, so for so many years, we have been forced to kill our own kind."
At this point, there was an uproar in the audience, no one had ever dared to speak like this, especially for most of the new human nobles, the old humans were the food on the plate.
These words are almost no different from traitors and reactionaries, and it is almost possible to rely on the words of the Grand Duke to make her take the blame and resign.
If it wasn't the Grand Duke who said this, I was afraid that none of the following people would kill her immediately, and no one would say anything.
Sure enough, a young nobleman couldn't help but say loudly: "Grand Duke, the new human race eats the old human race, it is justified, what is there to say about this, as the grand duke of the state, you actually said this kind of enemy and I don't distinguish between the enemy and me, I really can't agree with it, and it is okay if you don't participate in this recruitment." Farewell! ”
After saying that, the nobleman left the table angrily with a few good friends.
The Grand Duke was not angry, and smiled faintly.
A group of wolf-like Grand Duke guards came out of the forest and blocked the way of the men.
The man who took the lead was just about to speak, but a Grand Duke's personal guard had already made the first move, and he simply kicked over the noble young man with sixth-order ability, unloaded his arm with two clicks, and threw it back to the lawn.
The scene was suddenly chaotic. (To be continued.) )
