Chapter 555: Rumors Spread

With the successive fall of Tiebi Province, Amethyst Province, and Canglei Province, the royal capital has gradually become a lonely city, which can be called full of dangers. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Moreover, the rebel armies of peasants, miners, and lower class craftsmen were enormous, numbering in the tens of thousands.

This has put the royal capital under a lot of pressure, and the attitude of the court is really puzzling, and it has been a month.

Winter was coming to an end soon, and under normal circumstances, troops should be sent as soon as possible to nip the crisis in the cradle, but the court allowed the rebels to sit on the throne.

"What are those guys thinking about the Imperial Council? If this continues, the king will be finished sooner or later, right? It's only been a month and it's been a mess. ”

"Speaking of which, Your Majesty, he hasn't shown up for a long time, hasn't he?

"Hey, what if we let that young duke be emperor, will our lives be much better than they are now?"

"Shhh

"Che, am I the only one who thinks this way? Since the death of His Majesty Raymond, our days have not been as good as the day, alas. ”

In the streets of the royal capital, many citizens talked about each other, and many of them went to the nearby provinces to do business.

But now that all the people are in chaos, the king has completely blocked it, prohibiting anyone from entering or leaving, and the air is filled with a heavy breath, which is depressing.

The soldiers continued to pile up defensive equipment on the tall and sturdy walls, making final preparations for the brutal siege that was coming.

The scout who delivered the news rode in the direction of the palace, and on the tower that towered into the clouds, the golden lion battle banner looked a little bleak and lonely.

In the Lionheart Tower, which represents the power of the Empire, the central ministers of the Empire are engaged in an extremely heated discussion about the current complex situation.

"Now that the Amethyst Province and the Canglei Province have completely fallen, and the king is completely isolated, we must take action, otherwise it will be over!"

"Take action? It's easy to say, but now that the number of those mobs is in the tens of thousands, should we open the gates of the city and go out and suppress it?"

"Those mobs are really nothing to worry about, they lack equipment and training, a rabble is not our opponent at all, the problem is ......"

"That's right, the most fatal thing is the loss of the Griffon Fortress, and where did the Far Eastern Army come from, the combat effectiveness is too strong!"

In front of the ministers was a map of the situation near the royal capital, and now that a large part of the territory had been completely declared, they were completely encircled.

The ministers were in decline, and the situation fell into an increasingly dangerous situation, but the one on the throne was still sitting firmly on the Diaoyutai and did not even attend the meeting.

"In the final analysis, Your Majesty, why did he want to go south to attack the Rose Family? Subverted the elite of the Central Army and damaged itself, not to mention, he also lured in the wolf cub of the Duke of the Far East, Lin Ye, a month ago, I thought he was killing himself, but a month later, this ...... Alas!"

"Who would have known that his methods were so ruthless, he actually aimed his eyes at the royal capital! Aiming at the royal capital, he didn't attack the city head-on, but instead drummed up these small actions nearby, how good it would be if he was defeated at the beginning, I really don't know what Your Majesty thinks, and forbid us to attack!"

"Now all the garrisons in the royal capital are added together, and it is only fifteen thousand, if we rush to attack and lose our troops, then what will we use to defend the royal capital? Alas, for so many years, the empire has never been so embarrassed, and it was really a big failure to let that kid go!"

"And now there are bad rumors in the royal capital, saying that His Majesty's life experience and the like, which make the people in the royal capital panic, we must send people to investigate thoroughly, and bring those people who bewitch the people to justice, and now we must firmly control the royal capital, and there can be no more accidents!"

The ministers expressed their opinions, and they were confused by Rhaeggar's performance, not understanding what he was doing.

"If that guy Solo was still around, maybe he could guess His Majesty's thoughts, but alas, he's already in prison. ”

"Speaking of Solo, he is also a talent, he originally had a good chance to serve as the former prime minister, but think that he can come this far at the age of twenty-nine. ”

"No matter how powerful he is, he is not the same prisoner now, and there is no possibility of turning over again, this is what he asked for. ”

Someone in the minister mentioned the former Inspector General Solo, but now that position was empty, and there was no voice from him.

Soon the meeting was drowned out by a cacophony of noise, and the candles on the conference table were covered with a thick layer of candle tears, and the light was bright.

But in the underground prison, the light is not so good, the light here is very dim, very damp, and the air is filled with a musty smell.

"Inspector General, this is the book you wanted, it was sent to you, it's already this time, aren't you resting?"

A soldier carried a thick old book in his hand to a solitary prison, opened the door of the cell, and placed the book on the table.

If it is an ordinary prisoner, there is no such treatment at all, and it is light to die and live without being lynched by the jailers for a few times.

However, the man sitting in the cell was calm, he picked up the book and opened the cover by the dim candlelight.

"I've been removed from my post, I'm just an ordinary citizen now, don't call me that anymore, what's going on outside?"

Solo, who was the Inspector General of the Empire, was not too annoyed by being imprisoned, and still calmly inquired about the current situation.

"Now that the three provinces of Tiebi, Canglei, and Amethyst have fallen, the momentum of the rebel army is very huge, and even many local armies have joined their ranks and become rebels, the situation is very bad for the royal capital, and at this time rumors about Your Majesty have begun to circulate in the royal capital. ”

This soldier was a gendarmerie and a former subordinate of Solo, and he told Solo about the situation in front of him.

"Bad rumors about His Majesty? Sounds interesting, what are they?"

Hearing the action of stopping to turn the book here, Solo asked with interest, and he keenly captured the unusual place here.

"That, my subordinates don't dare to say it. ”

The soldier began to regret that he had brought this up in such a good manner, and he hurriedly waved his hand, not daring to continue on the topic.

"It's just the two of us here, and there's no one else, so you can say it with confidence, and if it's me who orders, won't you say it?"

Solo's tone was accentuated, although he was young, he had been in a high position for a long time, and there was no doubt in his words.

"Your Excellency, that's how ......"

The soldier subconsciously saluted, and told Solo about the rumors that had recently spread in the royal capital.
