The morning sun was shining on the walls of Valen, and it was already the day after the dinner. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

In the mansion of the Moxi Governor of Valen City, in a courtyard, dozens of servants were already busy at the moment.

These servants from the imperial capital did not seem to be accustomed to the dry and cold winter mornings in the northwest, but they were already busy with their master's breakfast early. And on the periphery of this courtyard, the guards in charge of guarding have not closed their eyes all night, and their equipment is neatly standing outside the courtyard.

Such a conscientious guard made many soldiers in the governor's mansion a little surprised: standing down like this night, although they took several shifts, these guys from the imperial capital were quite vigilant, and it seemed that they were indeed elite guards from some famous families.

In the most cabinet room in the courtyard, several young maids were dressing a middle-aged man, who was naturally the last imperial envoy to enter Valen, Sistine.

He comes from an ancient aristocratic family in the Bright Empire, and with his keen political sense, this family has grown with the support of the royal family for generations, and it can almost be regarded as long-lasting.

The Sistine family is also quite famous in the aristocratic circles of the imperial capital because of its hundreds of years of operation. In the nearly 100-year history of the family, this family has produced two imperial generals and three marquises.

By the generation of the Sistine fathers, it was almost at the peak because of their support for His Majesty the current Emperor to ascend to the throne. His Majesty the Emperor even married the Sistine sister as the Empress, which made the Sistine family a first-class family power in the empire.

After his father's death, Sistine inherited his title and the patriarch of the family. This guy is not only illustrious, but also quite prosperous in the aristocratic circles of the empire...... To put it bluntly, he is a typical aristocratic lord!

Although many people don't quite understand, at this time, His Majesty the Emperor did not select important ministers in the military department to serve in Moxi, but chose such a long-sleeved and good social nobleman to go to Moxi. However, because of his relationship with His Majesty the Emperor, he was appointed to Moxi as the acting governor this time, which was also regarded by many discerning people as a move by His Majesty the Emperor to take power from Moxi.

However, he himself did not seem to care about these rumors, and after receiving the appointment of His Majesty the Emperor, after coming out of the palace, he took his family's attendants and escorted him on the road with a swagger.

After breakfast, after Sistine had put on a thick Lingbei snow fox fur, a young and beautiful maid respectfully brought a basin of fresh milk, and then carefully wiped the face of the marquis. After more than half an hour of careful "dressing", Sistine looked at the fine makeup powder on his handsome face, and then walked out of the room satisfied.

"The weather in the northwest is always so cold!"

As soon as Sistine walked out of the door, he couldn't help but wrap the snow fox fur on his body, frowned a little dissatisfied, and took the hand warmer handed by the servant next to him before muttering and walking towards the hall of the governor's palace.

As soon as he entered the hall of the Governor's Palace, Sistine found that Su Ya and the others were already waiting for him here. Most of the generals of the Northwest Army in the hall were here, including Jose Perry and Gould and others.

Seeing that the envoy was dressed in a gorgeous costume and his face was so "peugeot", Su Ya stepped forward, although there was no displeasure on her face, but her tone was a little stiff and said: "Sistine envoy, everyone has arrived, and the commendation ceremony can start at any time." ”

The Sistine seemed to be in the spotlight, and he coughed lightly before slowly walking to the center of the hall. Then he snapped his fingers, and immediately a squire stepped forward behind him, holding a wooden plate with a silky brocade on it.

Sistine took the brocade silk and glanced around at everyone, then slowly cleared his throat and said:

"As you must know, I, the Sistine, was ordered by His Majesty the Emperor to serve as the Acting Governor of Moxi, and this is a letter of appointment issued by His Majesty the Emperor.

In addition, His Majesty the Emperor remembered the meritorious work of the generals and generals in resisting the Macedonians, and specially ordered me to bring a commendation order to celebrate the achievements of the generals. As for this ceremony, it is only a temporary award, and the official commendation ceremony will naturally be arranged by the military department after you return to the imperial capital. ”

After Sistine said this, he looked at several generals of the Northwest Army led by Long Keduo with a smile, and made a standard aristocratic salute before squinting his eyes and said:

"Generals, in the future, I, the Sistine, will work with you to defend the western frontier for the empire, and I would like to ask you to give me advice......"

Ronkedo glared at Sistine with slanted eyes, and couldn't help but say angrily: "I can't talk about teaching, and we don't care about rewards, I just want to ask you, since Your Majesty thinks that our Moxi Army is a great victory against foreign enemies this time, why don't you release General Heru back?"

Sistine smiled, casually handed the hand warmer in his hand to the attendant on the side, took a few steps forward, looked at Long Keduo carefully, and then said slowly: "This general is probably General Long Keduo, the famous general of Moxi, when I served in the military department in my early years, I often heard people in the army talk about Long Keduo in Moxi!"

General Ronkedo, General Heru left Moxi, and I, Sistine, also regretted it in my heart. It's just that General Heru was indeed called back to the imperial capital by His Majesty for accountability due to the unfavorable war, and the credit for the victory of this war may not be attributed to General Heru, right?

Besides, His Majesty also took pity on General Heru for his loyalty to the country for more than 20 years before calling him back to the imperial capital. After the great victory in Moxi, His Majesty was overjoyed, where would he blame General Heru, I heard that General Heru would be appointed to serve in the military department!"

When Ronkedo heard him say this, he was stunned for a moment, and then hurriedly asked: "What you said is true? Your Majesty really did not punish General Heru, and still appointed him to serve in the military department?"

Seeing his reaction, Sistine felt a little confident in his heart, and said with a smile: "Naturally, it is true, although Your Majesty has not yet issued a precise order, how can I say that he is also an administrative official in the military department, and this kind of major transfer and appointment is naturally a bit of a rumor." ”

When he said this, he couldn't help but glance at these Moxi generals, and said with a sincere expression: "Besides, when I was in the military department, I always respected General Heru's character, even if Your Majesty wants to punish General Heru, I will plead with Your Majesty, and please let the generals be relieved!"

Although Ronkedo didn't quite believe this guy's words, the so-called reaching out and not hitting the smiling face man, seeing that this Sistine was talking and doing things like words. Long Keduo is also an upright character, and when he heard what he had already said, he could only nod his head, and it was not good to say anything nasty.

Seeing this, the remaining generals of the Moxi Army heard Sistine pat his chest again, looking indignant, only to feel that this sissy was also on the road when she talked and did things, and she didn't seem to be so annoying, and the disgust on her face was a little lighter.

Joseph had been on the sidelines, squinting at this Sistine with a playful expression, but he just touched Gould on the side, smiled and whispered:

"I said fatty, do you see it, in the end, it is an envoy from the imperial capital, it turns out to be an eight-sided and exquisite guy. After only a few words, he was stunned by these ignorant generals of the Moxi Army, and he was really a cunning guy who was good at playing tricks......" (To be continued.) )
