After a gallop of wheels, the sumptuous carriage came to a halt in front of a mansion of the most luxurious in the night, merging with the vermilion and wine-green streets beside it. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

However, the carriage was very conspicuous, and was not swallowed up by this somewhat erosive or even dirty aristocratic atmosphere. Most of the people on the street were aristocratic gentlemen dressed in gold and silver, but as they passed by, they couldn't help but look here.

This kind of travel style is simply the honor guard of the princes and kings!

"Lord Duke, Lord Duke. ”

Just as Brion was stunned by the scenery outside the window, he was awakened by Desai's words, he looked at the group of soldiers lined up around Sirte, and then glanced at the luxurious scene on the street for a week, before nodding and saying, "Get out of the car." ”

As Brion got out of the car, the guards who followed behind Brion's horse convoy also began to assemble, and finally formed two rows of phalanx formations that were beginning to take shape. The soldiers raised their rifles, their heads held high, and after three shots, they stood up like iron men.

Of course, such a professional military performance has undoubtedly attracted the attention of many people. Brion hoped for this, after all, it would not only show his status as the ruler of Lyon, but also add a kind of royal demeanor in the minds of the people. What would a monarch want to image himself as a ragged beggar in the hearts of the common people?

In addition, this time the guards were not one or two hundred guards like the previous ones, Brion wanted to show the importance of this time. Four hundred guards were specially brought as an accompanying guard of honor, of course, this was also to show his strength to the Viscount Friuli.

Poitou, who was one rank older than him, died at Brion's hands, also to give him a wake-up call.

Seeing the passengers of several carriages behind them, Charlotte and Languedot got out of the carriage, and Brion ordered the honor guard to rest temporarily, leaving thirty soldiers to serve as the guards for the banquet and Brion's security bodyguards. After arranging everything, Brion led everyone slowly to the reception.

This time, Briand's destination was a noble reception, which was held by the noble Viscount Friuli to celebrate the formation of the new government. Of course, the event is not just a celebration, it is also a good place to connect with French politics.

The people who can be invited are either rich or noble, which represents their status and social status, which has enough influence on the political aspect.

For Briand, the supreme leader of the Senate is, of course, him, and although Languedotte is the Speaker, this is only a cloak. Louis XVI seemed suspicious of Louis XVI's deception by Languedot, but he symbolically sent several nobles to Briand's vigilance.

Although it has been given supreme power, the Senate is still inoperable. Faced with a lack of more than a dozen seats, Brion decided to gain support at the grassroots level, and the wealthy merchants were definitely much better than the nobles, after all, the nobles were in their positions, they had a natural sense of superiority and were repulsive to Brion.

But these businessmen only have an innumerable amount of money, and if a regime wants to be strong, it must use money. Brion was also a businessman up to par, and although he didn't know how to take care of it, he definitely had much more profits from his property than all the rich people in the South.

With this alone, he was enough to break into the world of merchants, not to mention that he was the duke of the kingdom, the monarch of the Duchy of Baden.

As the host of the reception, Viscount Friuli waited at the mansion an hour before the banquet to begin the guests. And as the de facto controller of the city of Lyon, Brion certainly has the right to be the last to appear. This is undisputed by all.

When Brion arrived, Viscount Friuli personally greeted him with several nobles of prominent status. They had favoured Poitou when Poitu was in power before, and if they joined forces at that time, they might be able to compete with Briand. However, now that Brion is in power, they have no ability to connect with each other.

At Brion's signal, the other henchmen behind him were free to move around and make friends with other nobles. And the most striking is Charlotte, her beauty is indeed understandable, and all the gentlemen and nobles fall for it. Brion didn't want to bring her over, but considering his own face, it was better to bring a woman with him.

The emergence of a great nobleman like him will inevitably become the center of people's conversation. However, if he doesn't even have a woman, some nasty gossip will soon appear. Rather than waiting for others, it is better to directly plug the mouths of those people.

Bringing a beautiful woman to show up already says it all, and the rest is up to someone else's imagination.

"Hi, Viscount Friuli, Baron Seteri. Looking at the two people who came over, Brion nodded and said with a smile.

"It's a great honor to see you here, Lord Duke of Baden!" Friuli and Baron Setri were very happy to hear Brion's greeting. At this time, they have already left the state of confrontation, and it is completely a strong man speaking to a weak person who has no strength. Therefore, Brion can take the initiative to greet face, and they are still very happy.

At the same time, they are also glad that they did not participate in the boycott of Brion with Poitou, otherwise they would not seem to have survived to this day.

"Viscount Friuli is really congratulating you on taking up the post of mayor of the city of Lyon. I remember when we met in the Senate, and it's been more than a month, right?"

"The Duke has a good memory, and of course this night is not just for me. Lord Duke, please inside. Viscount Friuli stooped down very gentlemanly, made a gesture of invitation to Brion, and motioned for him to go inside.

Brion nodded in acknowledgement, and then, guided by Viscount Friuli, he was the first to enter the main entrance, and this time he entered the formal banquet hall.

As soon as he entered the hall, Brion caught everyone's attention. People stared blankly at a handsome, handsome, and majestic young man at the door, unable to even say a word.

Because Brion only came to Lyon twice in total, and both were busy with political struggles, and he really had little to do with those people in high society, the name of Brion, Duke of Baden, was only widely spread in high society, but he was never seen in person.

Many people have already heard of Brion during the Baden War and the counterinsurgency war, but the recent coup d'état has made Brion's name even stronger. Everyone thought that this nobleman must be an unfathomable middle-aged general, but now it seems that he is just a handsome young man.

The aristocrats who liked to look at people at a glance could not help but be a little disappointed, they did not dare to imagine that such a legend would happen to this young man, who was now only twenty years old!

However, those politicians who liked to talk about politics were disappointed, but some merry young women were very fond of this young nobleman. But Brion is not such a person at all, so because of Brion's identity and his peculiar habits, those young women have no chance to do it at all.

Seeing the little fresh meat in front of them running away in vain, the wives were indeed a little reluctant, so they could only wait and see and wait for changes.

At this time, due to Brion's arrival, the time of the banquet still needed some pause, and it did not really begin, while the rich people of high society gathered in groups of three or five to talk. It's just that they always put the sound so loud that it almost turns into a cacophony. This kind of content is also almost the same, and it is all about big business.

Perhaps the entertainment method of the upper class people of this era is this, bragging. Pretending to be in front of friends and family is a very enjoyable thing, but unfortunately most of their braggings are not on the road.

As the time for the start of the banquet approached, Viscount Friuli was ready to make Brion give an impromptu speech, in front of all the rich and noble people of Lyon, of course. However, Brion did not agree to him, after all, it did not do him any good for his image.

At the same time, attracting those nobles on such an occasion only made Brion feel a little awkward. To be honest, he did not like the aristocratic lifestyle at all.

"Lord Duke of Baden, it's a pleasure to see you again. ”

At this time, a very familiar voice appeared in Brion's ears, he was Idavin, the commander of the garrison who was lucky enough to survive the coup.

Brion only remembered that since the coup d'état in Lyon, he seemed to have forgotten about Adamin because of the tedious political recovery work. It seems that because of the last Poitou shooting, the man was shot. Brion didn't care much about the commander at the time, and didn't even know that the bullet had missed.

Of course, Adamin gained even more from the coup, and now he has served as the garrison commander of the city of Lyon, commanding 2,000 government soldiers and serving as a local guard.

"Commander Adamin, it's been a long time. Brion glanced at his epaulettes with some surprise: "It's really good, they have all been promoted to colonel." That bullet in you is entirely because of me, and I'm really sorry. ”

Adamin shook his head: "No, it is my honor to be loyal to Lord Duke, and now that I have been promoted to the commander-in-chief of the garrison of Lyon, I can better serve Lord Duke." I hope the Duke will give me a chance to serve. ”

Originally, Idaven had just a try-out attitude towards Brion's forces, but after that thorough purge, it was enough to show the horror of Brion's forces. In short, Brion is like a springboard, and there must be no problem following him. Adamwin now understands this, too.

As for this official application for surrender, Brion was very happy but not surprised, for his faction, sooner or later more people will join, and the joining of Edavin should mean that the ruling power of the city is completely owned by the Duchy of Baden.
