Chapter 206: Territorial Conflict
readx;? After Lin Ye left Rock City, he had been recalling Rhodes's words, the two governors would blatantly go to war? And at this time?
According to the information he had, Yuntui Province, as a province mainly based on agriculture, has been providing food to the surrounding provinces and the royal capital. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
Its governor, Count Farousi, was over forty years old, and he was an honest man, recognized as a good man within the empire.
The Maple Leaf Province, on the other hand, was close to the royal capital, and its commerce and handicrafts were very developed, and its economic strength was one of the best in the empire.
Its governor, the Earl of Ingle, was in his thirties, self-assured and wealthy, never taking other provinces seriously, and he himself was extremely stingy.
"Rhodes got the news that they had a conflict because of a territorial dispute, which led to a large-scale conflict, but is this really the case?"
Lin Ye thought about this question repeatedly, you must know that now is a sensitive moment, even if there is a contradiction, you should refrain from it.
Moreover, Maple Leaf Province is so close to the royal capital, how dare you use troops without permission?
The strangest thing is the attitude of the royal capital, no one has come forward to mediate when this kind of thing happens.
"Could it have something to do with the princes of the royal capital?" asked Fant in surprise.
As an officer, Lancelot never expressed his opinion on political affairs.
However, Van Te has been exposed to it for a long time, and has been influenced by Lin Ye, and he also has a certain understanding of the situation in the royal capital.
"Who knows, when we arrive in Yuntrai Province, we will naturally know. ā
Lin Ye looked ahead, it seemed that the hidden dangers within the empire were even more serious than he imagined.
Before His Majesty the Emperor died, the nobles began to attack each other, and once the throne changes, I am afraid that it will ......
At that time, even the Far East will not be able to stay out of it, right?
The group of four continued on the road to the royal capital.
About two days later, they left the confines of the Obsidian Province and began to set foot in the land of the Yuntrai Province.
As a province that focuses on the development of agriculture, Yuntui Province has a flat terrain and fertile land, and has always had the reputation of a granary.
Windmills swinging in the wind can be seen everywhere along the road, and it is harvest time, and the wheat is fragrant.
"This place should be called Windmill Town, it is said to be the hometown of windmills, but why does it look so strange?" Lin Ye looked puzzled.
The strangeness he said was that all the people working in the fields were gray-haired old men, and there was no sign of half a young man at all.
These old men wiped the beads of sweat from their foreheads from time to time, and because of their age, their movements were slow.
Every time they walk a short distance, they have to stop and rest, and their physical strength is simply unbearable as they get older.
According to common sense, the harvest season should be infested by young and strong, what is going on?
"Are all the young people going to war?" Van looked around, also feeling strange, and casually gave a guess.
Isn't there a conflict between Yuntui Province and Maple Leaf Province now?
It also makes sense that young people were drafted into the army.
"No, even if the men are called to leave, there will still be women, but there are no men or women in the fields except for the elderly. ā
Lin Ye shook his head, something must have happened here to brew the current scene.
Soon he noticed a shadow dodging behind the windmill.
From a distance, it seems to be a child.
Lin Ye paid attention to it, this windmill town was full of strangeness.
They continued to drive forward for ten minutes, and finally a young man appeared, but it was a group of soldiers.
"Stop me, where did you come from?" the leader of the soldiers stopped them.
Their armor was engraved with a family coat of arms, which was a crossed axe as well as a bull's head.
Lin Ye recognized that this was the family crest of the Oak family, a famous family in the royal capital.
These men were clearly the private soldiers of the Oak family.
How did the people of the Oak family come to the small town of Yuntei Province?
This was puzzling to him.
"We're from Obsidian, so I wonder what your Excellency is doing?" asked Lancelot.
In order to save unnecessary trouble, he did not say that he came from the Far East.
This is also from Lin Ye's instructions.
Anyway, they have Rhodes' handwriting, and even if the relationship between the various governors is not good, Rhodes is not involved in factional fighting.
His face, the governors of Yunchui and Maple Leaf provinces have to give more or less.
"Obsidian Province, why do I think you are so suspicious? Take it away!" the officer was very arrogant and directly ordered the arrest.
His soldiers were about to take action.
This is really outrageous.
"Send them away. Lin Ye ordered in the carriage.
Lancelot was hesitant to clean up the unscrupulous soldiers.
Since he had received Lin Ye's order, he immediately dismounted, and without drawing his sword, he snatched the spears of these soldiers with his bare hands.
It took less than three minutes to knock the soldiers to the ground.
Rao is that they are well-trained and well-equipped, but compared to Lancelot, who has been cultivating hard since childhood, there is still a big gap.
A dozen soldiers were no match for him at all.
"They are Duke Oren's men, and you are so openly provocative, aren't you afraid of causing trouble?"
The Assassin in the carriage asked again, a little surprised why the young duke in front of her had made such a choice.
Is it unclear where these people come from?
Duke Oren's high position in the empire is not comparable to that of a remote Duke of the Far East.
"It's rare that you still care about me. Lin Ye smiled slightly.
What were the words the Assassin had spoken to him?
Second or third sentence?
"I'm just reminding you that Duke Oren is ruthless, and the city is very deep, and if you offend him, it won't end well. ā
She twisted her head to the side, indicating that she would not speak again.
As a guest from the royal capital, she naturally knew much more about the situation in the royal capital than Lin Ye.
"Thank you for your kindness, but this Duke of Oren is here, I don't think it will be a coincidence, since he came and was safe, and he provoked me first, what is this kind of response?" Lin Ye smiled playfully.
Only then did he arrive in Yuntui Province, and there were already people on the bright side who came to provoke.
It's a really interesting thing.
If he remembered correctly, the daughter of the Duke of Oren was married to the Grand Prince.
In other words, Duke Oren is from the faction of the Grand Prince?
"Your Excellency, please wait, Your Excellency!"
Just as he was thinking about it, someone stopped the carriage again.
Lin Ye saw that it was a sneaky black shadow that had been hiding behind the windmill just now.
It turned out to be a little girl who was less than ten years old.
"Do you have something?" Lin Ye asked.
This little girl has been following them for a long time.
I don't know what her purpose is.
"You must be very good at defeating those wicked people, please help us and this town. She said earnestly. (To be continued.) )
