Chapter 160: The Forerunner Visits the Imperial Envoy
The twenty-ninth day of the month of the god of calamity.
Zupol realm, realm Ling Pu Rinpo.
More than a month has passed since the theft of the Château Morganburg, and the movement of rectifying law and order in all parts of the territory has not stopped, which is very abnormal.
Cases such as the theft of Château Maugenburg have not happened in the past. But there are still cases in the next place, and it is natural to pursue the suspect, but such a large-scale rectification of law and order has never been done before. So in a tavern or something like that, all kinds of related discussions and rumors change every few days.
The three realm ministers naturally heard the discussion in the market, but they didn't have the heart to care about such a trivial matter at all, during this period of time, the eunuchs, the prison supervisors, the legal management department, the law department and other people from all walks of life have come to Zupol realm to toss, and they can't afford to offend any of them, so they can only have to respond to their requests one by one, for fear that if they are not careful, they will ruin their future and wealth.
However, these things they just showed up at the beginning, and the specific matters were handled by their own subordinates, and what they really cared about, including mobilizing the whole territory to rectify law and order, was it for the emperor's return to the north, specifically, to welcome the imperial envoy of the leading line.
As mentioned earlier, the last step before Emperor Chalin's return to the north was to go through the planned itinerary and other arrangements by the Emperor Xudai, which was regarded as the acceptance of the preparatory work to ensure that there were no omissions in the whole process. Therefore, whether all the preparatory work is done well or not, whether it is meritorious or excessive, is a matter of the mouth of the leading and observing the imperial envoy. Therefore, it is really normal for all the realm ministers to be so cautious, not only the Zupol realm, but also the situation of the other two ancestral realms is also very similar.
The news that the Pioneer Observation Imperial Envoy was going to the Zupol Realm was not a secret, and even a half-grown child knew about it, after all, it was a routine matter. But no matter how much news there is, only the officials in the territory can know, but this time the pilot view is even more special, even the ordinary officials are obviously different from the past - seeing that the preparations have been made, but the specific time of the imperial envoy's arrival has not been announced so far, and even the name and identity of the imperial envoy are unknown.
In the past four times, the leading envoys were all returned from the north, that is, Liuhuoer. It takes at least a month and a half to take a back and forth of the pilot line, and Liuhuo Erchen can take on the role concurrently because he has no fixed position and is relatively idle. But this time, the president of the Beigui Zhuwu is the leader of the Zuo Xiang, and all the officials believe that it is impossible for the Zuo Prime Minister to leave the empire for a month and a half, so there must be someone else in this leading line. There are not many people who are qualified to serve as the leading envoys, and it is said that in different circles, there are people who have opened a gamble for the suspense of this candidate.
Of course, it is impossible for everyone not to know the identity of the Pioneer Guardian, at least the three realm ministers of the Zupol Realm know, so they are more cautious than all the other officials, lest anything go wrong.
As early as a month and a half ago, they had learned from the edict brought by the Emperor's envoy Bedanzan that it was Karombe Po Nizanhaza who was the leading envoy of the Imperial Mission.
In the imperial surname hierarchy law, Bo occupies the highest position, and only the blood of the emperor's relatives can use the surname Bo, but it should be pointed out that unlike those meritorious surnames, the right to use the Bo surname rank has nothing to do with the title, only about blood, as long as it is the blood of a certain generation of Emperor Chalin, even if there is no noble title for a long time, he still has the right to use the surname Bo.
Because of this, the Bo surname rank is the most disparate class in the imperial surname rank, just listening to the name, maybe many people don't know much except that this person is an emperor blood. However, this one is an exception, among the relatives of the empire, only his name is more well-known and respected than Liuhuo'er, because his title is Yingdi.
Well, among the titles of the nobles of the empire, above the upper, middle and lower ninth class titles, the only owner of the super-rank title, Kalumbe.
The incomparably noble Cheek Truth, actually want to come to the Pioneer Practice, the pressure in the hearts of the Three Realm Ministers, it is not difficult to imagine that if this Cheek Truth is still a young man under the age of twenty, and he is known for his hobby of riding and archery, it will be even more unsettling.
Obviously, that is not the whole of the personality of the Emperor, and it may even be only a part of its intentional expression, and the three realm ministers are likely to personally see and feel the more real temperament of the Emperor, how can they not be cautious and fearful, and tremble.
What they didn't know, however, was that this Pioneer Envoy had quietly come to the Ancestral Realm.
The twenty-ninth day of the month of the god of calamity.
Zalia Sakai, Geng Laoyuan.
Arrogant and Doudoli had already looked at the courtyard inside and out.
Inside, there was no trace of a fight, let alone blood, and it was obviously deliberately cleaned up, and it was cleaner and tidier than before they left, with nothing less or more.
Outside the hospital, there were no footprints, hoof prints or rut marks.
All this shows that no matter how Fei Lin and the others left, it must have been more than half a day since they left.
"Did Sakai Shou do it?" Dio Dori, like Arrogant, thought that it was impossible for the three of them to leave the house for such a long time.
"Unlikely, he just swore to the gods that he would not attack Fei Lin again, or indirectly embarrass Fei Lin" said arrogantly, shaking his head.
Doudoli snorted coldly, noncommittal. Influenced by the history and legend of the Blood Ancestor, the Blood Clan's perception of the gods is not very good, but he cannot deny that no human dares to play word games after swearing to the gods - underestimating the wisdom of the gods is one of the greatest blasphemys against the gods, and the sin is unforgivable.
"It's not about who they're taken by, it's where they're about?" said Arrogant, then took one of his clothes from Ferrin's closet and handed it to Dio Dori.
"Can you bloodlines trace through scent?"
Dio Doli pursed his lips and snorted heavily, "If someone else asks me about this, I will definitely be killed by my hand, but it's a pity that I can't beat you." We bloodlines are not hounds, and even if we have a good sense of smell, we are only sensitive to the smell of blood, and the other smells are much worse. And after more than half a day, plus the cover of heavy snow, even if you find the best hunting dog, there is no hope. ”
Arrogant is sure that Dio Dori will not lie about this matter, but if he can't even recover Dio Dori, without knowing anything about the suspect, the time of escape, and the direction, what other way can he find Fei Lin?
Kole Frontier, Jiaqi Ridge, Stone Tower Gorge.
The straight-line distance from Shita Gorge to Zupol is about a quarter closer than that of the Walk-Realm Avenue, but because it is close to the eastern opening of the Genggugo Mountains, there has been a beast tide war, and there are also birds and beasts that go south to avoid the east from time to time in the future, so the descendants are reluctant to go far when building the road. But there are always some people who are bold and reluctant to take a detour, so they walk through the mountains and forests, and slowly walk out of a trail that leads directly to the realm of Zupol.
At this moment, a five-car convoy is walking on this trail.
Five cars, ten moats.
The trench that pulls the cart is the cold-resistant felt of the north, and it is the top grade black felt of the felt rake, almost every family in the ancestral realm uses the felt rake, but only the big officials or the rich can afford to use the black felt rake, the black felt can eat a strong enough, and the two black felt rakes are on top of three or four ordinary felt rakes.
It will not be a big cart that can walk the path, but a small cart pulled by two black felt moats, which is filled with heavy gold and silver goods?
Langdento was now sitting in one of the cars, and there were three people in the carriage except for the driver and his chauffeur. In fact, except for the tail car, which was full of food and drink, there were only twenty people in and out of the five cars.
For a convoy of this size, ten black felt moats are used, which in itself is a very luxurious thing.
However, Langdonto was not satisfied—had it not been for the insistence of the master in the central carriage on the path, they would have been able to take a nap in the wide carriage covered with soft mattresses and incense, instead of tossing and turning in a wooden box barely able to keep out the cold wind, as is the case now.
Langdonto doesn't like to endure hardship, he hasn't liked it since he was a child, and after he passed the sleeve mage qualification exam at the age of fifteen, he hasn't suffered for twenty-three years, and the thirty-eight-year-old quasi-robe mage is indeed qualified to live a life without hardship.
However, he couldn't refuse the master in the central car, absolutely not, in the entire Great Bogar Empire, the person who could refuse this person was afraid that he could count it on two hands.
How many people in today's empire can refuse the truth of Karenbe?
The pilot line view, should be in strict accordance with the northward route to stop, everywhere, that is, to understand the local welcome and stop escort, the previous pilot line of the imperial envoys, also did this, but Karombey does not like this, he thinks that such a fanfare, serious look, can not see the real omissions and problems, so he decided to travel lightly, avoid the local officials to see by themselves, to listen to themselves. This was originally a deviant idea, but from the mouth of the truth, even the president of the Beigui Zhufu would rather pretend not to know, what else dare others say?
So Calombey took a light car and kept it simple, only bringing twelve guards, eight attendants, plus a ceremonial officer and a priest, that is, Langdento, who did not do any etiquette of leading the way and left the imperial capital in this way, taking advantage of the half time when the gate of the capital was opened, which was the time that everyone paid the least attention to.
Along the way, Karenbei's Zhidi not only did not stop in strict accordance with the northward return route, but also changed the route at will, such as this Shita Gorge, which was not a passing point on the route of the Emperor's return to the north, but Karombei's Zhidi had heard a lot of legends about the beast tide war in the imperial capital since he was a child, and he was very yearning for here, so he temporarily decided to turn around, Langdento didn't even bother to persuade him, anyway, he was responsible for the safety of the Jiedi, as long as there was no problem with safety, everything else had nothing to do with him, who wanted to go against the interest of the Jiedi? And in this ancestral land of the empire, who has the courage and ability to threaten the safety of the Emperor?
