Hu Keqili gently pushed open the door of the study, and saw the falcon standing in front of the window with his hands behind his back, the beautiful sea view outside the window in the early summer sunshine of May, the vast expanse was like a huge emerald jade, the fleet broke the waves and crossed the white marks, and the circling seabirds wandered up and down in the mast group, a qiē seemed so calm, but I don't know why, Hu Keqili felt the calm under the sunset, like a precursor to an approaching storm!

A layer of golden afterglow shines on the back of the Falcon Majesty, the light in the darkness, like the center of the storm, the Falcon Majesty looks a little thick back, supporting the powerful empire across the vast ocean outside the window, the Falcon Empire, the tiger looks at the world, every qiē should have him!

"Your Majesty!" Hu Keqi stood up respectfully, put his right hand on his chest and saluted the fat man,

"Hu Ke Chi Li!" The fat man turned around from the window with a bit of thought, his eyes were like a sharp sword looking at Hu Ke Qi Li who was standing opposite, and he said with a surprised expression, "I thought it was the adjutant who sent the Wen Jiàn, but I didn't expect it to be you, but it was just in time! Lord Fukuburg has just sent someone to send an urgent letter from Gallic Kyoto, and at the Imperial Council of the Gallic Emperor that ended ten days ago, it was proposed that in view of the current unstable situation in the northwest, it is necessary to set up a Northwest Commander-General!" "Northwest Commander-in-Chief?" Hu Keqili's eyebrows frowned slightly, and his eyes carried a sense of indignation, "Is the emperor of the Gallic Empire blind? The entire northwest is shrouded by the power of my Falcon Empire, and the intention of setting up the governor of the northwest is too hateful!" "It's not a blind man, but surrounded by a group of self-righteous ministers, it's almost the same if he is not blind!" The fat man said slowly, his face was light, he couldn't see too much emotion, and said slowly. Knowing that the opposition would have no effect, Lord Forborg immediately expressed his strong opposition at the meeting, and begged the Gallic Emperor to reconsider it under the threat of refusing to return to the front line of the war against the Slavs, but the Gallic Emperor refused. The decision of the Imperial Council should come down soon, and Lord Fukuburg told us to be prepared!"

"Prepare?what do you mean...... Going to war?" Hukochili hesitated for a moment, and asked cautiously, "If it is a war, in your opinion, what is our chance of winning?" asked the fat man

"With all due respect, Your Majesty, if the Gauls are so ignorant, we might as well directly use force to occupy the entire northwest" Hukochili looked calm, "With the arrival of local reinforcements, our strength on the northwest coast has reached 200,000, of which more than 150,000 are capable of fighting. If the previous accumulation of strength and expansion of strategic space was for greater self-preservation, then now is the moment for us to show our fangs, and now the entire northwest is our sphere of influence, even if it is a head-on confrontation with the Gallic Empire, it will still have the strength to fight!"

"Fangs bared?" the fat man rolled his eyes at his right-hand man, the corners of his mouth grinning slightly, "Our fangs are not so sharp, although they have mastered the northwest coast. But it doesn't mean that the entire Northwest will be completely on our side.

In the event of war, I can guarantee that most of the Northwest will not hesitate to disassociate themselves from our Northwest Coast, as they have been part of the Gallic Empire for decades. Generations of people were vassals of the Gallic Empire, and this identity and the resulting interpersonal relationships could not be changed in a short period of one year, especially in Denia and Rosende, which had more than 100,000 troops. On the surface, they show respect to us, but in fact, the mainland is not playing its own small calculations, once a war starts. To deal with these two areas alone, we need to disperse more than half of our forces, and in the southwest, Mephio Boone's Southwest Army has not expanded very fast recently! If we want to start a war with Gaul, I am afraid that this Murphy Oboone is more eager than us" "...... Murphy Oone will go to war with Gaul?" Hukochili was stunned, "Do you know? Lord Forburg's letter said that at this Gallic Imperial Council, the only person who opposed the establishment of the Southwest Governor was only him, Mephio Boone!" The fat man didn't answer, but an imperceptible cold light flashed in his eyes,

"No, according to our relationship with the southwest, even if it is not hostile, it will definitely not be a friend, it would be good if he didn't support it vigorously, how could he still speak for us at the imperial council!" Hu Keqili paused in surprise, saying that he couldn't imagine,

The fat man smiled at the corner of his mouth, walked to the desk, picked up a letter on it and shook it, "At the beginning, Murphyo Boone was appointed to the southwest to contain us, but now, in just 2 months, instead of confrontation, the southwest and northwest rarely made the same voice,

It seems to be an ordinary surface, but in fact, the turmoil caused within the Gallic Empire is definitely no less than a small earthquake, and many eyes must be watching now, to see how the Gallic Emperor handles this matter, otherwise, other regions will follow suit, and the whole Gaul is afraid that a crisis will break out in an instant!" With the Northwest Commander-in-Chief, the next one should be the Southwest, the Gallic Emperor's mind is too obvious, Murphy Oone is just worried about the cold lips and teeth, and the next one will be his turn, after all, everyone can see that the position of the Southwest Commander-in-Chief's confidant will definitely not fall on his head,!"

Hukochili showed a hint of relief on his face, and sighed, "Murphyo Boone is a smart man! The icing on the cake is easy, but it is difficult to send charcoal in the snow, with this favor, if necessary, it is indeed more reliable than those nobles who pull us to Kyoto" "Clever! It can also be said to be ambitious"

The fat man chuckled and put down the letter, looking out the window, "In this letter, even Lord Fubao was a little moved by his support, and rarely said a few good words to this young man who took his position, but I know that the person in charge of the new southwest region, secretly let many chambers of commerce in the southwest region, set up an underground trading ground at the exit of the pass, so that the water building is close to the first month, virtually get our goods at the lowest price, and then one changes hands, and then sold to the hinterland of Gallic at a high price,

"The reason for helping us speak, in fact, is just for his own interests," the fat man said, "he still needs us to attract the attention of Kyoto, this Murphy Obuone has just taken advantage of the fame of defeating the Gangfei people, and has absorbed a large number of labor generated by the war, and the military strength of the southwest army has exceeded 150,000 people, and the combat strength and morale are even worse than before! Maybe the Gallic emperor himself did not expect that the Murphy Obuone, who was thrown by himself to ward off the disaster, would be like a fish in water in the southwest, and his fame is like the sky, and he only wants him to give up now. No wonder they don't want to let go,

And with Lord Forburg as a buffer, even if we know that he will use our light to develop his influence in the southwest, and even use us to confront the emperor, he will choose to turn a blind eye because of this relationship!" "This guy doesn't want to use the southwest to ......" Hukochili pursed his lips slightly, with an expression of wanting to speak, "Is it independent from the Gallic Empire? It's hard to say! With such a bold example of our Northwest Region in front of us, it is normal for Murfeo Boone to have such a mind" The fat man sat down in his seat, ten fingers crossed over his stomach, his eyes twinkling. The voice said in a deep voice, "Actually, from the beginning, he should have planned it like this" The fat man unexpectedly revealed a trace of appreciation, "Nominally, we lost the bet and had to open up the market in the entire southwest region, but on the other hand, the large number of goods that our caravan went away from was not to fill the southwest economy that had been hit hard by the invasion of the Congo Empire to the greatest extent, you know, although the army of the Gang Africa Empire withdrew, it also destroyed about half of the grain production areas in the southwest region." In addition, the people in the occupied areas are unstable and their grain stocks are almost exhausted, and if they cannot obtain a large amount of grain and cotton and other materials in time to survive the winter and spring communication season, the entire southwest region will be in turmoil.

These very scarce goods, if purchased from the Gallic hinterland, would cost two to five times more than the real cost, and would be limited in quantity. But buy from our merchants, because there is no tax cost, plus the road is near. The price is at most one-third higher than the cost price, "At this point, it's not us in the northwest, the southwest has long collapsed from the inside!" The fat man's voice stopped, his fingers tapped on the table, and he said slowly, "Regardless of what Murphy Oone is planning for the time being, at least the southwest region secretly has the intention of confronting Gallic Kyoto, which is a good thing for us, since it may be a mutually beneficial companion in the future, I want to meet this Murphy Oone, some things are open to talk, better than sneaking around now!"

"Why don't you go down and make arrangements?" said Hukochili cautiously

"Don't worry, I heard that this year is the celebration of the first year of the Gallic Emperor's accession to the throne" The fat man smiled slightly and waved his hand, "It's a pity that there have been too many things recently, otherwise, I don't mind going to Gallic Kyoto to see it, anyway, I am also the ruling on the northwest coast of the Gallic Empire, and the Gallic Ministry of Affairs also sent me an invitation to watch the ceremony, hundreds of years of great empires, there is always something worth recalling, if you don't take advantage of peacetime to take a look, I'm afraid that when the city is burned by war, I will never see it again!" The celebration of the first year of his reign should not become the last afterglow of the sunset of the empire!" "The afterglow of the empire?" Hu Keqili glanced out the window with a strange face, under the golden sunset, the beauty of the long blue coast is dazzling, because of the dazzling, but it rarely seems unreal, hesitated for a moment, Hu Keqili boldly said, "Your Majesty, my subordinates actually came here this time to report something! The port has captured a Dongting person!"

"Dongting people?" The fat man was a little puzzled, was it worth making such a fuss about capturing a Dongting person?

"Your Majesty, it's the Dongting people outside the long wall!" Hu Keqili lowered his head, hesitated for a moment, and said in an accentuated tone, "Although the port side is not sure whether what the other party said is true, according to the confirmation of some port Kugit sailors, this Dongting man who came to the hinterland of the empire unexpectedly does not belong to the Dongting tribe that is now known, and should be from outside the long wall!"

"What kind of tribe is the other party?" the fat man got up from his seat with some excitement and walked back and forth a few steps,

Dongting people have always been their most worried worries, although only 20,000 people appeared this time, but no one dares to guarantee that there will be no more Dongting people coming, whether the long wall defense line can block the hooves of the Dongting people, or an unknown number that cannot be determined, in history, the Mongols once stepped on the European continent, the Mongolian cavalry at that time was only 20,000 people, and the whole of Europe was a sea of blood, that kind of fearful feeling, so that the fat man felt like a little bird with wood in his mouth every day, flying around and building a nest diligently, at any time he was worried that he would be blown by an unknown storm, and there was nothing left overnightThinking of the tragic scene of the Dongting cavalry driving the slaves to attack the city outside the long wall, the fat man absolutely believed that the cruelty of the Dongting people was absolutely destructive to a country and nation.

"The other party claims to be a scorn department"

Hukochili replied cautiously, and as soon as his words fell, the fat man's footsteps suddenly stopped. The sparkling eyes made Hukochili speculate for a while,

Was he wrong? Or was this Gedongting man a fake? Then he heard the Falcon Majesty whisper excitedly, "It turned out to be the Scorn Department of the Great Wall War, and it really took no effort to get it!" The Fat Man remembered this name that made all the Slavs who participated in the siege of the city gnash their teeth, and the 3,000 Slavs of the Plague Department were scattered before they really touched the battle that day, and the Fat Man remembered this vividly, and he originally hoped to catch a few Dongting people, but he didn't even touch a single hair, and he still knew it from the Slavs afterwards. These Dongting cavalry are from the same tribe, where are the people?" The fat man asked a little impatiently, finally there is a real "Dongting man", with this person, the Dongting Empire, which has always made him feel pressured, can finally unveil the veil of mystery, what people are most afraid of is not knowing, any problem, as long as they fully understand. There will be a way to deal with it, and the fat man also wants to find out whether the fake envoy that day said that the Dongting Empire will launch a western expedition is true.

When the fat man met Brother Morkin. This ambitious young man from the East Court was lying dying on the cold ground of the prison, fainting and dying on the boat, and was beaten half to death by the guards as soon as he reported his identity at the dock. dragged in from the outside all the way, such a toss, even if Brother Erjin's body is very strong, he can't stand it. The port reported layer by layer, and it was already the fifth day when it reached Hu Keqili's hands, and by the time the fat man arrived, Brother Jin had already lost most of his life, if he didn't still have breathing, he might have been thrown out as a corpse "You were tortured?" The fat man glared at the prison officer, and the prison officer was weak on the spot, and hurriedly complained "No, Lord Hu Keqili specially explained and didn't let him be executed" "Then what's going on" The fat man's face was angry, the hot air was filled with an unpleasant smell of burning, soldering irons, tongs, a few temporary sticks with blood stains, plus 4 tall and naked torturers, enough to make ordinary people frightened and urine, in front of him, a hideous look of the executive hand, holding a freshly oiled leather whip splashed with Bai Sensen's salt water, such a leather whip, as long as it can make the prisoner's skin open flesh, painful to death, pain into the bone marrow, even the soul is trembling, and because of the sting of the salt water, it will not faint"This is the last prisoner, that is a murderer who specializes in killing children, we are really angry, so ......" The prison officer's face turned pale and his speech was slurred, "Forget it, get out" The fat man waved his hand unhappily, he was a little anxious just now, and now he can see that there is indeed no criminal arrest, otherwise this young man's clothes would not be so complete, there is not even a trace of blood on it, his face is a little pale, but there is no kind of dark blue caused by great pain, the prison officer and his subordinates ran away with their subordinates, the Falcon Empire also has a prison, and there will naturally be these people in prison, in this era, prisons have always been associated with darkness, as long as the department is too much, the fat man will not delve into it, this kind of thing can't be managed all, at most the prison officer's boss will be found and reprimanded fiercely。

In a moment of confusion, the almost unconscious Brother Erjin raised his unkempt head, his eyes finally had a focus in a trance, it was a fat man dressed very ordinarily, and he was lifting his chin with a horsewhip, Brother Erjin smiled bitterly, and said in a weak tone, "Don't look at it, kill if you want to"

The fat man was stunned unexpectedly, he didn't understand Dongting language, but the words that came out of the mouth of this young man dressed in grassland were enough to make him a little excited, it seems that this guy is really from outside the long wall.

"Hehe, forgot, you don't understand my Dongting language!" the young man looked up weakly again, this time saying a sentence or two that was similar to the pronunciation of the Ikadivar Dongting people, especially the pronunciation of the two words Dongting was exactly the same

The fat man hurriedly lifted his drooping head with a horsewhip, looked at him with a pale face, and said, "Are you from Dongting?" "Yes?"

The black obsidian ring was as bright as a black star, almost making a pair of eyes of Brother Erjin almost bulge out.

As long as they are from the grassland, they have heard of the obsidian king ring of the golden family, which is the proof that the glorious empire has survived at the beginning.

Brother Murjin has never seen the Obsidian King Ring, but he often hears the elders in the clan mention the country, the magic of the Obsidian King Ring, that is, even in a dark and lightless environment, the Obsidian King Ring can be lit up.

It was a gift from the god of the grassland to the golden family that protected the grassland, and only the people of the golden family were qualified to wear it. (To be continued......)
