Inheriting their mother's genes, the siblings were born with the ability to attract the opposite sex. www.biquge.info Worried that something unethical would happen to the two children or mess with their servants, the Duke and his wife arranged for the growing siblings to live separately, and Roy's room was not allowed to be approached by male subordinates, and Rod's house was only accessible to male servants and old women...... The little maid had never said a word to her pretty boy, and the first time she was stopped by him, her heart was fluttering, and she hurriedly agreed, and followed with small steps.

After giving the little fox a hot bath and drying her, the boy carried her back to the bedroom and laid her on the bed, and crouched beside the bed to look at her, remembering how she had turned into a human form when she was on the street, and his heart could not help but feel hot - what was the place where the cloth and the tail of her arms were blocked?

"Hey, you're a little silver fox, I'll call you Xiaoyin, or Yin'er?" Zhang Haolin reached out and touched the little fox's fur: "Can you become a human and I'll see?"

The little fox whimpered softly, and lay weakly in the quilt, only waving its tail slightly, obviously unhappy.

"Ah, are you hungry?" Rod suddenly remembered something, reached out and took the little fox into his arms again, and went out to the kitchen.

......

Near dinner time, the kitchen was in full swing, and the two cooks had to prepare dinner for the duke's family and a dozen guards and servants, although this number was pitiful among the great nobles, but it was enough for them to be in a hurry: "Young master, do you want to order, the list of ingredients is over there." ”

"Any small pieces of meat?" Rod noticed that the little fox in his arms writhed a few times as soon as he entered the kitchen, and realized that he had guessed correctly.

"Veal cubes, do you want to heat it up?"

"No, take a plate. ”

With a plate of cooked beef, Rhodes went back to his room, put the plate and the little fox on the table, watched it sniff the food, and ate it with relish.

"When you're thirsty, there's water. He poured a cup of tea for it as if he was waiting for someone, and the young man watched each other eat with great interest, but heard the housekeeper shouting outside the window: "Young master, it's time to eat!"

"Stay and don't run around. Rod scratched the little fox's head, thought for a moment, and went out with the control bracelet of the collar.

Walking into the dining room, the family was all seated, the father was discussing something with the mother softly, and stopped the conversation when he came in, while the elder sister Roy sat in her place with a solemn face, and only Aunt Yani looked as usual, with her chin propped up, staring at the head of the family with interest.

"What's wrong?" asked Rhodes as he sat down next to his sister and whispered when he saw that her face was strange.

"There is an incident in the south of the empire, and it has spread throughout the country. Roy said worriedly, "In the south of Andrew Province, a few high-ranking sons of the Jac tribe with warriors were molesting his wife in front of a peasant at a public market, and after a fight, they accidentally stabbed someone to death. ”

The Gak, living in the dense forests of the southernmost hills of the empire, with cottage groups and tribes as units, have not obeyed the management of any state since ancient times, and even if they were completely incorporated into the territory during the expansion of the empire, they were only formally subservient - neither under the management of the imperial officials, nor on the payment of taxes and conscriptions, and only paid a few "special products" every year as a vassal.

The rainforest poisoned insects are ferocious and full of miasma, and most of the Jiake cottages are in dangerous places, even if the victorious general and his millions of heroes have nowhere to use...... Thus, the newly rising empire, like the countless regimes that had "ruled" the Galkians over the past few hundred years, turned a blind eye to the situation after gaining face.

"Molerating other people's wives and stabbing people to death?" Rod was a little surprised: "This ...... It's too overbearing, and then. ”

"Then the Gaks took advantage of the chaos and fled back to the cottage......"

"Can't help them if you run back?"

"Theoretically, of course, you have to send someone to catch it, but in practice, it's usually a matter of losing some money, hiding for a while, and you'll be fine, at least until it's not under the jurisdiction of the Empire. "But this time the Empire's law enforcement officer in a small town on the edge of the forest is a young man...... He went to the cottage with dozens of soldiers and asked them for someone. ”

"I must have not made a handover. Rod guessed where things were going, and if nothing happened, it would not have been possible for this to reach the family table of the commander of the Imperial army.

"The Jark people closed the cottage and ignored the imperial officials who came to arrest them...... What's even more presumptuous is that someone actually shot an arrow and wounded an Imperial soldier. ”

"Isn't it......" attacking a soldier in the territory of the empire can no longer be described as domineering, Rhodes' eyes widened. Rao has always admitted that he is a little willful, and he would never dare to do such a stupid thing.

"I guess it wasn't the order of the Jark patriarch to release the arrows, the head of the clan couldn't have been so stupid, but no one's idea or even deliberate or not would change the nature of the matter - harboring criminals and attacking Imperial soldiers. Roy shrugged: "The law enforcement officer who had a nose in the dust went back to the town, contacted the nearest Imperial border guard, and nearly a thousand soldiers rushed to the bottom of the mountain. ”

"Got a fight?"

"Well, in fact, if the Gaks in that cottage hand over the murderer and the guy who shot and wounded the Imperial soldier at this time, there is still room for manoeuvre...... If you go to war with the Garks, you won't do much good...... No, the empire will win at any cost, and His Majesty the Emperor cannot endure such an insult. ”

"What happened in the end?" Rhodes was curious and asked, "The army broke through the cottage and arrested the murderer?"

"No......" Roy pursed his lips and made a helpless expression: "The Imperial army has no experience in fighting in the dense forest, and the Gaks have summoned the warriors of other Gak cottages around them through the news of flying birds. Although the total number of men was less than 1,000, with the cooperation of traps, terrain and special weapons, the Imperial army was beaten back, and the army suffered nearly 100 casualties. ”

"Isn't that a rebellion?"

......

"It's not a rebellion, it's a rebellion, although their purpose is not to overthrow the emperor's rule. The Duke coughed rather majestically and corrected Rod's words. "Things are like this, the empire has to fight if it doesn't want to. Everything about Midland, the expansion of the land's population, the end of the age of the lords, and the present prosperous and peaceful times, was backed by a mighty army, an armed force that did not tolerate provocation. ”

"Alright, don't discuss this with the kids. The Duchess waved her hand, "I don't quite understand how there can be a people in the world who are proud of their arrogance, but this time we must teach them a lesson in the importance of following order." ”

"Not to be proud of their tyranny, the unity of the cottage tribes within the Galk has allowed them to thrive in Andrew's jungle for centuries. But they had clearly found the wrong opponent this time, and the Empire was not the other woodland tribes they had bullied and fought against in the past. Roy said: "If you want me to say, the empire should seek the help of other local tribes, recruit more locals, conduct adaptive training for the army, and advance steadily and steadily, the population of the Jiak tribe is only 100,000, and the total is less than half of the imperial army, and there is no ......."

"Okay, I know you know a lot, it's not your girl's turn to take care of this matter. Mother shook her head: "Don't let me repeat it, don't discuss this at the dinner table." ”

"Roy's idea is good, but the empire has decided to try out the newly formed mage army, this matter must be resolved quickly, the situation at home and abroad is quite complicated......" Although the lady asked not to continue, the duke still couldn't stop the car until he was glared.
