It was an extraordinary day in the summer, hot and dry, but it was also an extraordinary day, because the Marshal of the Fire Empire, Rufhis, had come to visit.

The welcome ceremony in front of the city gate will not be introduced here, but it can be summed up in just a few words: lively and extraordinary.

When Rufis changed carriages and entered the capital of the Cold Moon Emperor, the people who were able to get a glimpse of his dignity were amazed by his handsome appearance, and his blonde hair added a strong touch to his "golden lion" metaphor, and for such a young marshal, people were more curious than admired.

The tedious etiquette and walking continued until one o'clock in the afternoon, during which time Rufis was crowded with people, and Hua Long, who was in charge of the guards, did not leave for a moment, but there were so many people that they didn't even have a chance to see Rufhis.

Surrounded by so many people, I really don't know how he gasped, Hua Long had this idea at that time. Although it is a little funny, it also illustrates the grand occasion of the crowd from the side.

......

Cold Moon Empire, Green Hall.

A large villa in a quaint style, located in the southwest of the imperial city, its role is to receive foreign guests. There is nothing to boast about in the lavishly furnished villas, but a meadow full of flowers in the backyard of the villa is refreshing, and then you can see the rippling inner city river in the distance.

For such an environment, the young marshal seemed very satisfied.

The elegantly furnished room wafts with the faint scent of orchids.

With no one else around, Ruphes breathed a sigh of relief. The tiredness of months of traveling in a row was released at this moment, and he was tired, a feeling that is not very humanly relatable, and it may also be a kind of sadness.

Ten minutes later, outside the room.

"Miss Linda, Your Excellency Marshal is resting, you ......"

In charge of guarding the task is Qiao Ya, the leader of the Iron Knights, a man as burly as a bear but with a very delicate observation. He found that His Excellency the Marshal had a crush on the blonde girl, especially since the Marshal had met her for the second time since he had left the night before, was there really such a coincidence?

"Fate," was the Marshal's smile and casual remark. But Qiao Ya knew that the word that the marshal hated the most was also fate, because he always thought that fate was an excuse for the incompetent.

"I won't take up a lot of time. ”

The blonde girl looks down-to-earth and generous, and although she is the same age as Ruphes, she feels very mature.

That gentle smile made Qiao Ya blush.

She's going to send fruit in, and that shouldn't matter. Qiao Ya nodded, and finally agreed to let him go, "Please be quiet, and don't stay too long." ”

Linda nodded, then gently pushed the door open.

"Hey, why did you let her in?" the adjutant walked over, his expression like reproach.

Qiao Ya smiled, "It's you, can you not let her in?"

“......”

The adjutant was silent for a moment, then showed a knowing expression.

"But honestly, she's really beautiful, isn't she?"

"Well, it's indeed beautiful, it's as beautiful as ......" The adjutant thought for a moment and said softly: "Just like the princess." ”

By the way, Rufis is twenty-two years old this year, and in the kingdom, he has long reached the age of marriage, although there is an endless stream of matchmakers, but ...... After a long time, all kinds of bad rumors have grown, the most representative of which is that Ruphes has a sister fetish.

Speaking of this, both of them felt that they had committed a taboo and didn't say much.

A moment later.

"How's the situation in the hall?" asked Qiao Ya.

"The prime minister and marshal of the empire are there, by the way, that Hua Yun is also there. ”

"Huayun, who?"

"Don't you know?" Seeing Qiao Ya shaking his head, the adjutant was slightly surprised, "Hua Yun, the second son of the Earl's Mansion is the one who defeated the bandit army in the Malu Forest, and his tactics are of great interest even to His Excellency the Marshal. ”

"Yes. Qiao Ya was quite surprised, "The marshal is interested in him?"

......

Bright room.

Rufis wasn't here, and Linda, dressed in a pink dress, put down the fruit basket and walked slowly to the floor-to-ceiling window. Although the sunlight was not very dazzling, Linda's eyes still felt an inexplicable tingling.

Yes, my eyes have become accustomed to the dark, and in that environment, I have even forgotten the feeling of sunlight.

The darkness and coldness around the body are dispelled by the sun, and the long-lost warmth comes back to the heart.

As Linda's eyes adjusted to the light, her azure eyes reflected a young man with blond hair, standing under the linden tree in the courtyard, looking into the distance.

I don't know how long, when Ruphes looked back......

The wind, rolling the green leaves and carrying the fragrance of flowers, blew through the two of them.

At this moment, the young marshal forgot about fatigue and immersed himself in infinite reverie.

Perhaps, he prefers to believe that the reunion between him and Linda is fate, an unstoppable fate.

"My name is Rufis Apache. ”

"Linda April. ”

Rufis blushed like a shy little boy, and he mustered his courage after bowing his head for a moment of silence.

After a deep courtesy, he said in a very anxious tone, "Can I ask you to dance?"

The meadow with flowers, the linden trees like green umbrellas, the fresh, floral wind, all these have nothing to do with dancing, and if you were someone else, you might think that Ruphes was too nervous and said the wrong thing, but ......

"Is it here?"

"Hmm!"

“......”

"You don't want to?"

"No! I'd love to. ”

......

The hall of the Green Pavilion is full of smell, but it is surprisingly quiet.

Prime Minister Rongte and Marquis Kefer stood on one side, Marshal Ron and Hua Yun stood on the other side, neither side spoke, but the oppressive atmosphere was so strong that the adjutant, an outsider, could not breathe.

Today's showdown is simple, that is, to see who can invite Marshal Rufis to his mansion as a guest.

This seemingly simple banquet contains a strong political atmosphere, and the reason for this is worth savoring.

"You're not a marshal anymore, what are you doing in this troubled water?" Chancellor Ront glanced at Marshal Ron with contempt, but was immediately counterattacked.

"Aren't you too, you're half-cut into the ground, and you're still working so hard. ”

"Humph!" both snorted coldly at the same time.

These two old immortals! Hua Yun secretly cursed in his heart, to be honest, he was tired of such endless struggles, he really didn't understand, after nearly half a century of fighting, wouldn't these two old guys feel tired? But putting aside the two old monsters, Hua Yun's mood was really good, because he was looking forward to meeting Marshal Rufhis, and he also wanted to see the true strength and depth of personality of this military genius.

Then......

The silence between the four was broken until Rufhis's lieutenant walked into the hall.

The first person to speak was Prime Minister Rongte, "Marshal Rufis ......" He was only halfway through his words when he was interrupted by Marshal Ron on the side.

"I'm Imperial Marshal Ron Locke, and I want to ......"

"Ron, don't you know the first-come, first-served rule?" asked Prime Minister Ron.

Ron played a scoundrel, "Rules? That's your rules, they have nothing to do with me." ”

"You ......"

"How?"

Then again, these two old men are really funny. Both of them are high-ranking and powerful, and today they did not hesitate to make a big deal about a young man for a banquet, which is really ......

Is this the official of the Cold Moon Empire?

"Don't be impatient, your Excellency our marshal has just arrived in your country, and it is inevitable that he will be a little unwell, and he will need to recuperate for a few days, I think so, wait until tomorrow night's state banquet, you are in the ......" The adjutant did not mention the word invitation, because it would not be polite.

What this adjutant said was reasonable, and the prime minister and marshal naturally did not want to bother more.

"Well, I'm inviting you to the state dinner tomorrow night. After Chancellor Ronte finished speaking, he gestured to his nephew behind him, "Here's a gift, I hope you can pass it on to Marshal Rufis, then ......" As he left, he glared at Ron again.

"This old immortal. Ron muttered, then gave the same gift and said the same polite words.

"Are you the commander of Hua Yun?" the adjutant called out to Hua Yun, who was about to leave.

"Yes. ”

"The marshal said that he hoped to have time to visit your Excellency's official residence, but I don't know ......"

Visit?Rufis is coming to visit me?Hua Yun's mind was suddenly frightened, but he quickly regained his composure.

With a humble smile, Hua Yun immediately replied affirmatively: "Marshal is always welcome." ”

......

In the evening, the Northern Governor's Palace.

"What's wrong with this girl Xingxue?" Looking at the documents piled up on the desk, Hua Long felt a headache, "It's not that I took two days off, it's been four days." "But then again, Hua Long really misses Xingxue, and without her nagging in her ear, he always feels like something is missing.

Let's go see her in the next two days! Hua Long made this decision.

"Your Excellency. Tarex pushed the door open and walked in.

"How's it going?"

The staff nodded, and then put a stack of promissory notes in front of Hua Long, "The funds of the casino have been divided into six hundred accounts, and all of them have been exchanged for promissory notes, and the time of deposit has also been manipulated, and no one will notice." ”

Hua Long let out a satisfied "um", "The marshal's money plus my money should be 30 million, if you add Duke Otto's money...... By the way, those industries must be bought and sold quickly, and if they find out, then they are likely to ......"

"Is it okay to sell it cheaply?"

Looking at the serious expression on the staff's face, Hua Long said with a smile: "It depends on how cheap it is, hehe......"

After a moment of deliberation!

"Your Excellency, don't you want to meet Marshal Rufis?" said Tareks, as if to point to it.

"No! I should say there's nothing to see. Hua Long thought very clearly, "I will naturally meet when I should meet, but even if I see it now, I can't change anything, it doesn't make any sense." ”

The change in the mouth of the adults may refer to the hostile relationship, right? Indeed, Lord Hualong has changed, and he has become more determined.

"What about the Empress of the Heavenly Spirit Principality?"

"You don't want to ask me to soak her again, do you?"

“......”

"Don't look at me like that, I'm not going. Hua Long twisted his head to the side and muttered to himself, "I just have that heart, and I don't have that guts, if this is known by Xingxue's girl, she won't tear me up!"

......
