Walking out of the long hall following the guidance of the royal guards, recalling the inquiries and rewards of Gavin XII, Leo's mind still couldn't help but be in a trance, this kind old man next door is the emperor?

Walking out of the long hall, under the long staircase leading to the corridor, three spirited old men stood there quietly, as if waiting for His Majesty the Emperor's summons. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info passed by several old men, Leo saluted slightly and was about to leave, one of them was a rich old man with a kind face and said: "Leo Kovinas, congratulations! The eighteen-year-old baron of the Empire has set a new record for the youngest person to be rewarded for meritorious service in the Empire!"

Hearing the old man say this, Leo looked back in amazement, His Majesty the Emperor had just announced the reward in the long hall, and he knew it so quickly outside the hall? Who are these people? They are so powerful! Thinking of this, Leo found that several old men were wearing the same short-sleeved tunics, and the purple stripe on his right shoulder represented ...... Imperial Senate?

It seemed that Leo's expression was quite interesting, and several old men showed a mysterious and friendly smile on their faces.

"Young man, you are very promising, courageous and responsible, we old things are very optimistic about you, but young people must be able to withstand temptation and be able to strengthen their beliefs in order to achieve great things. You must know that the nobles of the empire not only enjoy the benefits brought by fiefs and titles, but the most important thing is to maintain reverence and loyalty to the empire! Don't lose your principles because of power and interests, once you make a mistake, you will destroy your future!" said an old man with a thin figure and a somewhat serious expression.

"Okay, okay! Solo, you weird old man, don't be so strict with the little friend, it will frighten him!" the rich old man opened his mouth and laughed a few words, shaking his hand at the thin old man, diluting the slightly tense and formal atmosphere of the old man Solo's opening.

"All right, let's not delay the young people's time!" the remaining old man waved his hand to Leo and motioned for him to leave. The gold patriarchal ring worn on the middle finger of his chubby right hand shows his lofty status as a patriarch.

After respectfully bidding farewell to the three old men, Leo turned and walked out of the palace. When the bright sunlight once again sprinkled all over the body, the warm sunlight instantly dispelled the cold brought out of the palace. When he raised his hand between his eyebrows to block the dazzling light, Leo suddenly remembered that the Imperial Intelligence Inspector General seemed to be Grand Duke Solo Gavin, and the old man with a slightly serious expression outside the long hall just now seemed to be ...... Oh my God! Everyone in the imperial capital was so frightened that Grand Duke Solo, the inspector general, had just said a few words to himself! Several imperial elders even praised themselves! What a magical day!

As soon as he walked out of the palace, he saw Ney's handsome and upright figure waiting outside the palace gate, Feng Xifan's slightly clumsy body shrunk in his shadow inconspicuously, and behind him was a line of Roman infantry with shields standing on the side, which made the already tall Ney even more handsome and chic.

Seeing Ney and the others coming towards him, Li Aoqiang suppressed the surging heart, and showed an undisguised smile on his face: "Ney! Long time no see! I heard Griman say that his career in the imperial capital is not bad, thank you for your hard work!"

Ney stepped forward and gave a noble salute to Leo gently, glanced to the left and right sides while bending down, and whispered to Leo: "Young master, this is not the place to talk, I have prepared a place to stay, you can come with me first!"

With that, Ney beckoned, and a carriage drove over, leading Leo and his party to a secluded courtyard in the residential area of the imperial capital. It's a pity that although Ney is cautious, how can it be easy to hide his deeds in the imperial capital? Every move of Leo and his party has long been in the hands of those who have a heart.

"What happened today really makes me a little incredible! It looks like the Imperial Capital has been really raining lately!" Leo frowned after listening to Ney's recent events in the Imperial Capital, especially what Brown had done behind his back.

"Not only did I meet His Majesty the Emperor and His Royal Highness the Empress this time, but I was also given the title of baron, and the fief has not yet been decided......" While sorting out his thoughts, while telling everyone in detail about his various experiences in the palace, Leo felt a strange feeling, although Her Royal Highness the Empress showed hostility, but did not make it too difficult, but in accordance with the emperor's Majesty's will to implement the reward, things seemed to go too smoothly, and then thought of the words of several elders outside the palace, Leo felt that he was afraid that he had fallen into the whirlpool of the imperial capital's magnates competing for profit.

After listening to Leo's narration, Feng Xifan pondered for a moment and then pinched a few strands of beard under his chin and said: "The current situation in the imperial capital is treacherous, involving the dispute between the two parties of the crown prince and the emperor and queen, and it is really not appropriate for us to be involved in a small family, otherwise I am afraid that there will be a disaster of destroying the family and destroying the family!" What Feng Xifan said, of course Li Ao can also think of it, after all, the dynasties of China for thousands of years, and the cannibalism of father and son in Kowloon is endless, there are so many cases in front of us, I can't help but Leo is not careful and cautious.

"At the moment, the best thing is to be low-key and low-key, and it is best to find an excuse to go away and go back to our Haruna Village, when the time comes, the mountain is high and the emperor is far away, no matter how the imperial capital changes and changes, it has nothing to do with us. "Feng Xifan's meaning is very simple, just one word: hide!

"No! I think this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and I shouldn't just give it up!" As soon as Feng Xifan's voice fell, before Leo could react, Ney stood up excitedly, although his voice was not high, but every word was sonorous and powerful: "Now that the emperor is dying, there is no successor, and the queen and her party have the ambition to change the dynasty, although the situation is turbulent and risky, but there is a very precious opportunity in it, it depends on whether we can grasp it!"

Leo slowly raised his head and looked at Ney, who had vaguely grasped the mystery of his words.

"The emperor is old, although the queen has two sons, but the eldest son of the emperor has died, and the two princes have a lack of talent like a child. However, no matter how the queen hid and downplayed the existence of the three princes before, now that the third prince Raymond suddenly came to prominence, Buming has already made a blockbuster, and the immortal feats of quelling the rebellion in the three provinces together with the young master are already known to the world. With the existence of the three princes, it is undoubtedly a shot in the arm for all those who are interested in the royal family. I believe that His Majesty the Emperor also knows this, and it can be predicted that whether it is for the sake of the Empire or the Gavin family, Prince Raymond will definitely be the best candidate for the crown prince! Now that the young master and Prince Raymond have had a friendship that has experienced life and death together, this is a good time to make contributions from the dragon!"

Ney's words were impassioned and reasonable, and from the pale blue glassy eyes of his handsome face, there seemed to be an emotion called ambition, which infected everyone around him.

"Yes, the Duke of Ersingen, who has a very clear and original view of the situation. Leo applauded lightly, paused for a moment to organize what he wanted to say: "As you said, if this matter is successful, it will be unspeakably expensive from the dragon, but the risk is too great." You must know that now the queen's party has been in power and has completely controlled political affairs, even if Raymond ascends to the throne of the prince, even if the queen can't help him, but it is very easy for us to control us, and then we are likely to die before we are paid!"

"So I still agree with Master Feng's opinion, this time I have already obtained the expected title, and when the fief is confirmed, we will go to the fief immediately, so that no matter how the royal family of the Varu Empire changes, we will not lose!" Leo and Feng Xifan are still more inclined to the idea of seeking a quiet and peaceful life among the farming people.

Now that Leo had decided, Ney, as a subordinate, naturally couldn't refute anything, so he had to helplessly raise his hand and rub his blonde hair vigorously, "Alas!" let out a sigh.

However, Leo was already in the whirlpool of the imperial capital, how could he get out so easily?

Early the next morning, the crisp voices of the children selling newspapers from the Imperial Mansion on the streets came from the streets and alleys: "His Majesty the Emperor has generously rewarded the heroes who put down the rebellion in the southern provinces! There is a successor to the Empire! Prince Raymond is officially canonized as the Prince! Leo, the second son of the Covinus family, is a baron!"

After a while, the palace chamberlain came to inform Leo to go to the Imperial Senate to accept the knighthood, and His Majesty had already decided on the location of his fief the previous night.

The Imperial Senate, a place in charge of the promotion and debasement of all the nobles of the entire Empire, is always hanging over the heads of the Imperial nobles, and even His Majesty the Emperor himself has to admit that in some respects it must also be subordinated to the will of the Senate, after all, the Senate has an important duty to supervise the continuation and legitimacy of the royal bloodline.

If it weren't for someone to guide the way, Leo would never have thought that this small courtyard in front of him was the location of the prestigious Imperial Senate. It's just a courtyard with about three entrances, and the left and right courtyards are in charge of feudal promotions, debasement and dismissal, and the innermost is the place where the elders deliberate.

There are a few bushes of roses planted in the courtyard, the mud on the courtyard wall has been a little mottled and peeled off, revealing the blue-black stone bricks, the shady corners are covered with moss, the stones on the ground have been stepped on for hundreds of years to be round and smooth, the whole courtyard is simple and simple, if it is not for the royal guards standing silently at the door, there is no real power yamen at all.

Leo followed the guidance of the palace attendants into the inner courtyard of the promotion, and as soon as he entered the door, he saw the rich old man he met outside the palace yesterday sitting in the middle of the hall in the courtyard.
