Chapter 127: Taking Office (I)
Early the next morning, the Count's Court.
These two days are of great significance to Hualong and even the entire Xilie family, because today is a good day for Hualong to officially take office and report on the Northern Governor, and the day after tomorrow is the day when Hualong and Nicholas Xueya get married, which is the so-called double happiness!
Of course, originally such an internal affair should have been done by Hualong's stepmother Sean, but the relationship between them has always been not harmonious, so in order to avoid anything unpleasant on such an important day, Count Aurno had to come in person.
The overall texture of the whole outfit is pure white fabric, dotted with gold threads that symbolize power, and a red ribbon is worn from the left shoulder across the chest, giving people a very vivid visual sense.
And Hua Long, who was standing in front of the mirror, did have a calm face at this time, but under the background of his clothes, he still showed a little bit of the momentum of the superior.
"The first day? Maybe it's going to be a good start!" Looking at his handsome self in the mirror, the corners of Hua Long's mouth suddenly showed a faint smile.
And after returning from the Northern Governor's Mansion last night, Hua Long also thought about it all night, and for him, the problems he had to face at the moment were obviously relatively concentrated.
First of all, two of the three commanders of the guard of the Northern Governor's palace were the men of Prime Minister Youngter, and the other was the men of Marshal Ron, who also took office today.
Secondly, although he has the Tiger Talisman to mobilize the city defense army, the five captains in charge of the five city defense battalions are obviously not his people, and more importantly, they may have "become famous" now, and his Tiger Talisman may be just an ornament, and may not be able to mobilize them.
The second is how to get rid of the surveillance of all aspects, so as to hide yourself perfectly.
Of course, these three problems are not all for Hua Long, after all, this is only relative to his identity as the governor of the north, and aside from this identity, it seems that he is facing more problems.
For example, how to perfectly go to the mercenary organization to take over and complete the task, so as to improve his cultivation; another example is the establishment of an intelligence agency that he discussed with Tarex last night, which is the foundation of his future competition for power, so he can't be sloppy at all; and there is also the emotional problem, tomorrow he will marry Nicholas Xueya, what about Xingxue and Jingyi? Xingxue is a little easier to handle, just give her a name in the future, but what about Jingyi? Will she agree?
In the end, he still lost her after all, and now he still has nothing, and Hua Long has no bottom in his heart about whether he can give Jingyi happiness.
......
Before departure, next to the carriage.
"Hua Long, do you remember what I said to you?" Count Ao Nuo tidied up his son's clothes one last time, in fact, he was even more nervous than Hua Long, after all, this was Hua Long's first day in office.
Looking at the handsome young man in front of him, the earl recalled a lot, especially Hua Long was looked down upon by many nobles, and suffered a lot of eyes and ridicule, but now? Hua Long is already the Northern Governor, a minister with the same rank as him, and even a duke in the future.
After the death of the prime minister, he should call his eldest son Hua Long Duke Nicholas Hua Long, right? Thinking of this, Count Ao Nuo couldn't help but laugh secretly.
"I remember. Hua Long bowed slightly to his father as a sign of politeness.
Count Aonuo nodded, he gave Hua Long a few more words, and then sent him to the carriage to the Northern Governor's Mansion, in the process, Hua Yun, who was watching all this through the window, showed an extremely jealous look on his face, all of this should have belonged to his aura!
......
The outer city of the Cold Moon Empire, the Northern Governor's Mansion.
Located in the southwest of the capital, next to the city defense camp, the Northern Doge's Mansion is a typical three-story classical building of the empire, and the 30-story white marble steps and four huge stone pillars at the entrance show a strong spirit against the gray brick wall.
At this time, the two blue griffin flags planted outside the Northern Governor's Mansion were also flying in the wind, which were the family emblems of the Palouse family, where Emperor Feng Ke belonged, and also the national emblem of the Cold Moon Empire.
At about eight o'clock in the morning, five iron-faced captains stepped on the stairs leading to the Northern Governor's Mansion, and the guards guarding the Northern Governor's Mansion immediately straightened up and immediately saluted.
"Damn, Prime Minister Rongte, that old bastard, actually threatened me with my little one!" one of the captains scolded angrily.
After looking around, the other captain was more cautious, "The prime minister is polite, didn't you look at Marshal Ron......'s face?"
"What should we do now? Prime Minister Rongte and Marshal Ron have already spoken, if we don't choose a camp as soon as possible, I'm afraid the end will be the same as the previous Audi!"
"Hehe, wouldn't you have chosen the camp? Don't you forget, the original Northern Governor Audi was the person of Prime Minister Rongte, not to mention that we small characters, I am afraid that the end will be worse than him!"
"Forget it, let's take a look at the new governor of the north before making plans. ”
"I can't help it, I'll just take a look first. ”
After complaining all the way, the five captains immediately stepped into the Northern Governor's Mansion and stopped in front of the conference hall on the second floor.
"Captain Bremilton, Captain Leopani, Captain Scopio, Captain Defatvan, Captain Frankman—here!" the guard at the door immediately shouted in a raised voice, and in an instant, the two guards on the side slowly pushed the fir gate open.
And the above five are the commanders in charge of the city defense battalion under the Northern Governor, it is worth mentioning that the five of them are all descendants of the declining minor nobles, and they are also friends who graduated from the same period of the Imperial Royal Academy, in general, their relationship is very iron.
And before the captains entered the door, an air full of * smell came to their faces, and the atmosphere became extremely depressing and dull in an instant.
Why?
On both sides of the red velvet carpet stood the men of Prime Minister Ronte and Marshal Ron, which was the most fundamental reason for the oppressive atmosphere!
Standing on the left is Marshal Ron's man, he is the commander of Mozart in a military attache uniform, who has just arrived today!
As for the two people standing on the right, they are Commander Mona and Commander Alex, they are both Prime Minister Rongte's people, perhaps born as civil officials, both of them wear a pair of small eyes, wearing civil official black dresses, and look a little crepe.
After entering the door, the five captains found their place and stood up, and also joined the ranks of silence.
There was a deathly silence in the hall!
Maybe he couldn't get used to seeing each other, or maybe it was a different camp, Mozart snorted coldly and twisted his head to the side.
Fool! Commander Mona cursed in his heart, and then turned his eyes to Captain Alex beside him, about this Alex, Mona is not very clear, because the other party has only joined the prime minister's camp in the past two years, and his origin and birth are all mysteries, but the prime minister trusts him very much, and his cultivation does not seem to be weak.
Let's take him as a companion, at least now they are all on the Prime Minister's ship!" thought to Commander Mona.
At this time, a loud announcement instantly came into everyone's ears!
"The Northern Governor—here!"
