Chapter 170: Sistine

As Jotheren was thinking this, he saw several men dressed as servants hurrying from behind the carriage. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 They carried a short wooden ladder in their hands and placed it where the carriage landed, before they respectfully shouted: "Lord Marquis, Valen City has arrived!"

"Got it. ”

A magnetic man's voice suddenly came from the carriage, and then the door was opened by the groom, and a middle-aged man with a mustache dressed in a fine costume slowly walked out of the carriage with the support of the servant.

José looked at the envoy with some curiosity: he looked to be about thirty years old, rather handsome, and had two slender mustaches on thin lips, apparently well-groomed. It's just that a thin layer of foundation is applied to the face, and the face is painted a little pale—this kind of face is said to be the most standard dress of the nobles in the Empire of Light.

The envoy was slender and long, with a pale face and gorgeous dress, which was quite in line with the aesthetics of those nobles. It's just that in José's opinion, it seems very contrived and hypocritical, and there is no elegance at all.

As Jose thought so, the envoy had slowly stepped out of the carriage with the help of his servant. He glanced around at everyone, and then his eyes fell on Su Ya, and said with a shrill smile:

"Lord Duke, we haven't seen each other for a long time, the last time we saw each other, it was at your coming-of-age ceremony!

His voice was obviously a male voice, but he seemed to be deliberately pinching his throat to speak, and his tone was also weird, which made Qiao Se frown slightly, and couldn't help but speculate maliciously in his heart: Could it be that the so-called nobles of the Bright Empire like to speak in such a sissy tone?

"Lord Marquis Sistine, you are too polite. Su Ya looked quite calm in the face of this envoy's greetings, as if she had long been accustomed to this guy's performance, but said lightly: "I didn't expect that His Majesty the Emperor would send you to Moxi to supervise the army, speaking of which, you are still so bright." ”

The Sistine didn't seem to care about Su Ya's tone, but carefully touched his face, and said with some displeasure:

"Who's to say it's not? Although I don't dare to speculate on Your Majesty's intentions, it has hurt me to let the Sistine come here in the northwest as an official. We walked all the way, and after walking for more than half a month, we rushed from the imperial capital to Moxi, you see, my skin is a lot dry!"

Sistine looked distressed, and several generals of the Northwest Army present couldn't help frowning a little when they saw it: The treatment of this envoy is obviously quite luxurious, but he is still said to be a servant by himself?

They were all straightforward men, and when they saw the virtue of this newly arrived acting governor, they naturally felt a little displeased in their hearts, and there was a little disdain in their eyes.

"In that case, then invite the Marquis of Sistine into the city, I have already set up a dinner party in the city to wash the dust of your lordship. Su Ya's face was calm, she smiled and gave a noble salute to Sistine, and waved her hand: "Lord Sistine, please!"

Sistine suddenly smiled, grabbed Su Ya's wrist, and strode towards the city. José noticed that Su Ya's expression was suddenly a little displeased, but she didn't withdraw her hand for the sake of face. The two of them were in front, and a group of people followed, and they also quickly walked into the city.

José stood aside with great interest, watching the rest of the servants slowly enter the city, especially the large carriage, which attracted his attention. He turned his head to look at Gould beside him, and couldn't help but ask with some curiosity:

"Fatty, what do you say this Sistine is coming from, how could such a guy be sent to Moxi in the imperial capital? What do I think, this guy doesn't look like a soldier, but like a mediocre and incompetent aristocratic lord?"

The fat man smiled, and also said playfully:

"This guy? When I was in the imperial capital in my early years, I really knew something about him. However, it is not because of any military exploits or political achievements, but because of his erosive life, his style is even more arrogant and lascivious, and he spends money on various places of fun in the imperial capital every day!

Hehe, it is said that the highest record of this envoy was when he was having fun in the most famous ecstasy cave in the imperial capital, because he spent tens of thousands of gold coins in one night because of a bet with the son of another family! As soon as this incident came out, this Sistine Lord became famous immediately!"

"So, this guy is really just the second generation of officials from an aristocratic family?" José was a little surprised, and glanced at Gould: "I'm a little interested in this guy, you go on, tell me everything you know." ”

Gould was stunned for a moment, seeing that Jose's expression didn't look like he was joking, so he also nodded and continued:

"As far as I know, this Sistine should be around forty years old, and he comes from a very noble and ancient family in the Empire, the Sistine family!

Speaking of this family, although it is not as good as a big family like the Ellios family, it is also one of the most famous families in the imperial capital. You must know that there are hundreds of large and small families in the imperial capital, and they are not idle small fish and shrimp.

This Sistine family is naturally one of the most famous representatives, it is said that it has been passed down for hundreds of years, and it can even be counted as one of the oldest families in the imperial capital. And this Sistine, because he was the heir to the family, naturally obtained the title of a marquis and some official positions.

I heard that in the early years, because their family supported His Majesty the current Emperor, they were quite trusted by His Majesty, especially this Sistine, who can be said to be one of His Majesty's henchmen. ”

Only then did Jose nod, it turned out to be the emperor's henchman, no wonder he was appointed to Moxi as the acting governor. It's just that...... The people in Moxi are fierce, and the soldiers are even more unruly, not to mention these generals of the Moxi Army. With such an important position, the emperor actually sent such a drunkard to control it, is there anything else in it?

Thinking of this, Jose couldn't help but squint his eyes and glanced at the fat Gould:

"Then let me ask you, does this guy have any other characteristics other than being famous for eating, drinking, and having fun? For example, how is his martial arts? Has he ever led troops to fight?"

"Well...... Gould touched his nose and thought for a moment with some confusion before he hurriedly said:

"When you say that, I think of it, although this guy has never heard of any outstanding martial arts, he did serve in the military department for a period of time. I heard that he was also transferred to Lingbei Province to supervise the war, and he also made military exploits in the war, and was commended by His Majesty.

But such a statement is just a joke in the eyes of our civilian-born generals. In the Imperial Army, such a temporary post has basically become a common practice:

In order to flaunt their bravery, those nobles from famous families casually arranged a position in the army, which was called 'experience and martial arts', but in fact it was just a false position, and they had never been seen to go to the barracks several times throughout the year. After a few years, mixing up a military rank or military exploits, and getting a commendation, it is just to become their brilliance to add a little façade to the family.

Such aristocratic resumes are not uncommon, and almost most of the nobles who are born in martial arts families and do not have military qualities themselves will choose to do so.

But how much water is in this military merit and rank, I'm afraid only they know it in their hearts......"

"Oh, so you don't know the details of this guy?"

Jose frowned, and when he saw Gould looking at him with puzzled eyes, he shook his head and smiled, and couldn't help but wink at Gould:

"But I've thought too much, what kind of means this guy has, I'm afraid it's not our turn to speculate. Come!

Fatty, let's keep up. I heard Suya say that there will be a dinner party in the Doge's Palace tonight, and speaking of which, I, a magician, have never attended such a banquet......" (To be continued.) )
