Chapter 197: The Cold Throne

readx;? Lin Ye had been away from the Far East for almost half a month, and he still had to pass through the two major provinces of Yunchui and Maple Leaf to reach the royal capital. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

He didn't have much time to delay, and he inexplicably became a sweet spot that was targeted by all parties.

This road is not very peaceful, if you continue to stay in Luoxia City, I don't know what will happen.

As he had predicted, the female Assassin was a hard-nosed person who could not pry her mouth open or not, and had no way of knowing who she was.

Although the city lord Hall proposed to detain her and interrogate her slowly, Hall himself confessed that he was a clear banner of the Great Prince's faction.

The reputation of the eldest prince is good, but in the face of power, there is never good or evil.

Before he came into contact with these four princes, Lin Ye didn't believe any of the four of them.

Who knows if this will be a bitter ploy staged by the great prince?

So he decided to take the assassin away, one slowly interrogating her to pry the news out of her mouth, and the other to knock the tiger away.

Tell the mastermind behind the scenes with great fanfare that his assassination operation has failed, and his people have fallen into the hands of him, the Duke of the Far East.

On the premise that it is not clear whether it is exposed, the main messenger must be a rat trap.

"Rojo is a rare talent, don't you plan to recruit him, my lord?" asked Lancelot from the window as the carriage left the city of Luoxia.

Hall offered to send troops to escort them all the way to Rock City, but Lin Ye politely declined.

Having a soldier escort can provide a little more security in terms of safety.

But if he accepts it, it proves that he is biased towards the faction of the great prince.

Now there are a lot of eyes staring at him, if he is labeled as a great prince, he will be embarrassed when he arrives in the royal capital.

As a neutral faction who has not yet grasped the situation, Lin Ye knows the truth of waiting for the price to sell.

If it is not at the most critical time, he will definitely not show his attitude.

"Rojo, he's one of those typical very talented people, but depressed because of his personality, right?"

Lin Ye recalled the attack in the prison, where Rojo was scratched with his hands to repel the assassin and then subdue her.

It turns out that pragmatists who don't know how to delve into interpersonal relationships are suppressed everywhere, and this situation is common in all worlds and eras.

"Yes, my subordinates had a few words with him, he was very insightful in military affairs, and he was a man with a talent for his own affairs, and it was a great pity to be a junior officer in a small town like this. Lancelot said.

His words are a bit sympathetic.

To be able to get such a high evaluation from him, Rojo is certainly not an ordinary person.

"Now that many parties are staring at us, if I start to win people's hearts before I arrive in the royal capital, I will definitely attract criticism. ”

Lin Ye shook his head, it took him a lot of effort to develop the Far East to the present level.

He knew very well that the rise of a new power far from the center of the empire would certainly not be a good thing for the royal capital.

At this time, if he is recruiting troops with great fanfare and winning over people's hearts, he will inevitably attract suspicion.

Before figuring out the purpose of His Majesty the Emperor's summoning him to the royal capital, he must be careful.

Although the Far East is now gaining momentum, it is far from being able to confront the Empire.

He could only tremble and walk on thin ice.

If you are not careful, you may fall into a situation from which you will never recover.

"My subordinates know that you will have such worries, so I have already written a letter of introduction to Rojo, telling him that if he is disappointed and does not want to stay in Luoxia City anymore, he can go to the Far East, the expansion of the new army needs an excellent commander like him, and it is really a pity to miss it. Lancelot laughed.

But he soon realized that there was nothing wrong with him doing this.

But Lin Ye's reaction quickly reassured him.

"Well done! Worthy of being my right-hand man, is there a lack of excellent commanders? This is my negligence, and when we return to the Far East, we can completely establish a new-style army academy and train a group of talents, but it is ......."

Lin Ye paused when he said this.

After all, his original intention was to make the Far East a paradise.

The focus of development is on commerce, industry and manufacturing.

The rise of the military is certainly a powerful guarantee, but the stronger the military in any era, the more unstable the situation will be.

Lin Ye began to have some worries about the prospects of the Far East.

With the unification of the Far East, the pressure on his territory will only increase, and his enemies will only increase.

"You can only take one step at a time. Lin Ye sighed.

He looked into the sky in the distance, and the sunset was stunning.

According to the current itinerary, you will be able to reach the capital of Obsidian Province in about two days, Rock City!

――――

In the empty palace, an old man wearing a crown sat alone on the throne.

The palace is full of icy textures.

Just getting close to this place makes me feel chilly to the bone, and if you stay for a long time, you will even cover your fingers with a thin layer of hoarfrost.

At night, there is a whimpering sound and a ghostly flicker.

This is a lingering resentment full of attachment to power.

The old man could clearly hear the vicious cursing, laughter, and taunting of these resentful spirits.

They tried to drag him into the dark abyss, and they wanted to take revenge on him!

But he sat on this cold throne for twenty-two years, motionless as a mountain.

Like a statue, like a dead man who has long been frozen.

It wasn't until a cardinal entered the palace that his fingers finally moved.

"Your Majesty, your orders have been fulfilled, and everything that should be prepared has been prepared. The cardinal said respectfully.

Originally, the Church had the absolute right to speak on this continent, and the Pope was the leader of the spiritual world.

His power was even higher than that of the worldly kings.

Through that war many years ago, the forces supported by the church were defeated, suffered a heavy blow, and the church was divided.

One of them is active in the north.

The other part put aside the sacred gesture and returned the power to the secular king, willing to exist as a servant.

It's also the price they pay to survive.

"Is that day, that day is coming soon, where is that kid now?" his voice was a little hoarse.

Back then, as a golden lion, he reigned in the world with a roaring attitude.

It turns out that there is also a moment of heroic twilight.

"It's almost time to get to Rock City, and the princes ......," the cardinal said again.

Those were not things he could interfere with in the first place.

"None of my sons are fuel-efficient lamps, they will certainly not be idle, let them go about it, I am already old. ”

He made a dry guttural sound and coughed a few more times.

"Nandu, how I miss traveling to the continents with you when I was young, I'm already old, and you are ......"

"The years urge people to grow old, and the years do not exist, do I have to succumb to the torrent of fate after all?" )
