Chapter 303: The Duke's Admonition

On the way back from the slave market, Jose was unexpectedly silent in the carriage, and even when the fat Gould asked him, he seemed a little helpless. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

"The Sistine must have known that he had purchased slave warriors from his family, and since he already knew about it, he must have known that His Majesty in the palace also knew. Three hundred people said more and more, and said less, but that guy didn't react at all, I'm afraid he also acquiesced in his own approach, right?!"

When Jose thought about it like this, he couldn't help but feel some pressure in his heart: Gilliat City is indeed no better than the northwest, and I am afraid that Mondvia IV naturally knows what he is doing, but he just turns a blind eye. After all, in a place like the northwest, it is natural for him to want to have a group of powerful guards, although according to his title, he can also recruit a group of family knights, but three hundred people are obviously not qualified. A viscount can only recruit fifty knights at best, and these three hundred slave warrior regiments, although they are not knights, are quite a few more numerous.

Jose even suspected that the three hundred slave warriors had been able to buy them from Dick with the tacit approval of Mondevideo IV. The number of 300 people is probably the maximum scale that His Majesty the Emperor can tolerate, after all, he is a newly appointed local county guard, and he has recruited so many warriors around him for no reason, even if Mondevideo IV does not say it, I am afraid that he will be a little unhappy in his heart. It's just that...... It seems that in the northwest in the future, the Sistine Marquis may not be so easy to deal with, this eight-sided delicate guy is much more than his own heart.

Before leaving, according to the practice of the Bright Empire, he had already entered the palace in advance to report to Montevia IV about leaving the imperial capital, but His Majesty the Emperor did not summon him, but only sent a court attendant to bring a certificate of entry and exit from the city, as well as a message from Mondevia IV: It was roughly some official words encouraging Joseph to obey the decree of the Sistine Marquis after taking office, and "level the northwest and stabilize the western frontier" as soon as possible.

However, to José's surprise, His Majesty the Emperor also personally allocated twenty cavalry of the Central Army to José. It is said that the northwest road is far away, and there is no personal guard by Joseph's side except for Gould, so he specially sent an edict to pull out twenty cavalry from the central army, which can be regarded as a reward for Joseph's guards. Although there are only twenty people, they are all regular cavalry of the Central Army, and Qiao Se has also seen the quality of the Central Army, since the emperor took the initiative to reward, Qiao Se has no intention of shirking.

Soon after Joseph returned from the palace, he also received news from Master Kant, a well-known scholar who had promised to provide him with a disciple as a staff member, and when Joseph returned to his hotel, he sent a servant to inform him that his disciple was in contact, but that disciple was not in the imperial capital, so Master Kant had asked the disciple to go directly to the northwestern county town of Sadland to wait for Joseph.

In any case, Joseph still has some trust in this mysterious wise man, although it is not good to ask him, but since Master Kant said so, I am afraid that he will not lie to him. In the past few days, Qiao Se has also secretly contacted Su Ya, on the day of the spring hunt, Su Ya deliberately pretended to be wrong with Qiao Se in order to dispel the emperor's suspicions, and now that he is ready to leave the imperial capital, of course, what he is most concerned about is Su Ya's whereabouts.

According to Suya, she would leave the Imperial Capital shortly after José left the Imperial Capital and went to the Ellos family fiefdom in the Southern Province. Since the Ellios family has decided to withdraw from these power struggles in the imperial capital, they can only do it simply, so that His Majesty the suspicious emperor is completely reassured, as for the Norman family, since his biggest competitor has left, the emperor will definitely not let the Norman family become too big, and the emperor's balancing technique has always been like this.

Three days later, Joseph and Gould packed their bags and prepared to leave, and the cavalry of the Central Army who had been rewarded by the Emperor were already waiting outside the door, and the Emperor sent the palace envoy whom Jose knew to see him off. A group of more than 20 people, more than a dozen carriages, and dozens of horses came to the outside of Gilliat. The central army guarding the city defense saw the palace envoy seeing him off, and there was a warrant issued by His Majesty the Emperor, so they naturally knew that Qiao Se's identity was not low, but after a brief check, they quickly let him go. After the court envoy sent Joseph out of the outer city, he said goodbye to him with a smile on his face, and returned to the inner city with a few court knights.

As soon as the group was out of the city, Joseph and Little Maudon were sitting in the carriage when they suddenly heard some commotion ahead. José looked out and saw a guy dressed as a knight standing on the side of the road on a war horse, squinting at José and his group. Gould had already ridden to the side of the carriage at this moment, and the cavalry of the Central Army on the side also showed a lot of surprise on their faces when they saw the guy blocking the road.

"I didn't expect you to come to see me off?" When Jose saw someone coming, he also got out of the carriage with a smile on his face, and said with a lazy smile: "Cold-faced man, you are now the flag commander of the Night Imperial Forest, shouldn't you stay in the palace?"

Perry glanced at Jose, then glanced at the guards of the cavalry of the Central Army, and snorted coldly in a low voice: "Central Army? Hmph, Your Majesty is good to you, and even sent all the cavalry of the Central Army to see you off?"

"You're wrong, this is not the Emperor's Majesty who sent me off, but is responsible for escorting me to the northwest and becoming the guard of my county guard!" Jotheren laughed, and then ordered the team to stop, but he walked forward a few steps and looked up at Perry: "You didn't come today just to see me off, right?"

Perry smiled coldly, also turned over and jumped off the war horse, and looked at the central army not far away, then frowned, and said lightly: "It was my father who asked me to come, and my father said that since you have taken up the post of Sadland County Guard, you will be a subordinate of the Sistine Marquis in the northwest in the future, and you must also know the intention of His Majesty the Emperor to let you take up your post in the northwest." Father said that you are a smart man, so no matter what happens in the northwest, you had better be on the side of the empire......"

When Jose heard him say this, he immediately raised his eyebrows, and his face did not show any surprise, but he squinted and glanced at Perry:

"Duke Norman asked you to bring me these words? I was originally an official of the Empire, so naturally I would stand on the side of the Empire, and it makes me feel a little strange that the Duke of Norman said such things?"

"That's what my father said, and I'm just in charge of bringing the words. Perry shook his head, glanced at Joseph faintly, and then said in an almost imperceptible voice:

"Besides, you and I both know very well that the northwest will never be stable in the past two years, and even my father can't predict the situation in Moxi, but the thoughts of His Majesty the Emperor in front of him are not in the west at all.

So whether it's Sistine or you, maybe it's not a simple guy, but what the situation you are about to face, maybe you don't know, just in case, some things are better to make it clear in advance......"
