Chapter 158 [The Wind Rises and the Clouds Fly]

When a carriage slowly drove out of the north gate of the imperial capital, Mr. Qiu looked deeply at the queen who had fallen asleep. [Full text reading]

Seth's sudden disappearance—is it gone?

Roddy felt a little bitter when he thought of this: Seth was not dead. He knew this very well in his heart. He left with an ironic curtain call, but it undoubtedly left them with a big mess!

Roddy suddenly appeared to a very ridiculous thing - although Seth walked away like this, it seemed that he still won!

He left, but left behind a queen, and the child in the queen's womb......

How can this trouble be solved? The queen absolutely refused to leave with Mr. Qiu...... She refused to die.

A woman, if she is caught in a stupid love, has no reason at all...... From the queen's decisive eyes, Luo Di could be sure that even if she died now, she would not leave. She must still have the playboy in her mind, thinking that the man would come back......

Naturally, Mr. Qiu would not forcibly take her away...... If he had the heart to do so, he would have done it years earlier.

Then the situation is complicated......

Although Seth is gone, things are still going step by step according to his plan......

What about the queen? What about the child in the queen's womb?

Roddy could almost see what was going to happen...... He had to take over the mess, and the only solution seemed to be the one who had set Seth's plan!

It's a big joke! It's as if he's slapping himself hard with a round hand! Thinking of the mocking smile before Seth disappears, Roddy feels more and more depressed in his heart.

After the queen woke up, she just looked at Mr. Qiu with cold eyes, and there was no doubt in her eyes that there was a deep hatred...... That means "you forced him out!"

Mr. Cho is strong, but at the same time he is weak......

The queen finally called Roddy to her side and whispered a word. After saying this, Roddy almost smiled bitterly.

What the Empress said was, "Seth told me that the Emperor is dying!"

After coming out of the palace, Roddy's mind suddenly missed a guy who might be able to help him solve these problems right now.

Some of Seth's words are true. I am really not good at thinking about these intrigues...... He didn't have any of that in his head.

, After explaining to Mr. Qiu, Luo Di quietly left the palace, and then went towards the Tulip Duke's Mansion!

There were a lot more people outside the Duke's Palace than in the past. Since the attack on the Prince's Palace, all the residences of the noble ministers of the empire have been tightened up, and the soldiers of the security office have patrolled back and forth, and some have even blocked the streets to prevent idlers from entering and leaving.

After all, Luo Di's strength is different at the moment, even if he is a soldier handle, he still easily sneaks into the Duke's Palace.

He didn't go to Nicole, he was anxious, and went straight to the quiet little courtyard in Duke Tulip's Palace.

Dodged the guards in the mansion, ran all the way into the small courtyard where no one usually enters or leaves, and pushed open the flash door where he had studied for a long time, Roddy couldn't bear it anymore, and shouted in a low voice: "Andy!

At the moment, the place where the skeleton was originally placed in the corner of the wall was empty!

Andy is gone! Not even the skeleton is gone!

Roddy's surprise is not trivial, and he always relies on Andy's guidance when he encounters things that cannot be solved. Andy can be said to be his teacher, but it's a pity that since he turned into that dragon, he can't have any contact with Andy anymore. Now he ran back full of hope, only to find that the skeleton was gone!

Nicole has been restless these days, there are a lot of things going on in the imperial capital these days, there is a lot of commotion outside, and there is constant news that the prince's mansion has been completely leveled, and there is news of vampires and the like in the imperial capital...... The guards at home stepped up their patrols, but Nicole still locked herself in her room every day.

After the news of the emperor's marriage proposal began to come to her, many people in the family congratulated her - but soon no one dared to say such things to her again! Everyone understood that our eldest lady was very disgusted with the emperor's marriage proposal - not only disgusted, but simply disgusted!

"Alas......" Nicole shook her head at her slightly haggard face in the mirror, "Nicole, don't you want to revitalize the family? Why did you refuse the emperor's marriage proposal? Are you smart or stupid?"

As soon as she finished saying this, she heard a voice behind her say softly: "You are a fool, but the most beautiful fool in the world." ”

The familiar voice fell into her ears, Nicole's heart jumped suddenly, Huo Ran turned around, and saw a familiar voice standing by the window, the originally closed window had been half opened, and this person was standing next to the curtain, with a wry smile on his face, his eyes were full of tenderness, and he was looking at himself!

Nicole took a deep breath, stunned, looked at the face that seemed somewhat familiar, and exclaimed, "You're Roddy!"

Luo Di smiled bitterly: "It's me, it's me who is back." ”

The comb in Nicole's hand fell to the ground, stood up, looked at Roddy dumbfounded, and muttered, "Your face...... You've taken the mask off! How can you take the mask off? And ...... How can you come back? You ......."

Before she could finish speaking, Roddy had already strode over, hugged Nicole, hugged her fiercely, and whispered, "Anyway, I'm back." No one else wants to marry you!"

Nicole suddenly seemed to have no strength, and hugged Roddy tightly with her backhand.

The two hugged each other so tightly, Roddy was excited, lowered his head and wanted to kiss Nicole, but was suddenly pushed away by Nicole. Nicole seemed to finally react emotionally, and she glared at Roddy: "Are you crazy! How can you take the mask off? How did you take it off? and...... You...... Why did you come back all of a sudden? Do you know what the consequences of that are?"

Roddy wanted to speak, but Nicole wouldn't let him say it, and said in one breath: "I know you're worried about me, but I've already rejected the emperor! I'll be fine! The emperor can't force me into the palace! But if you come back so desperately now, do you know how much trouble it will be?"

The look in Roddy's eyes was a little helpless, he sighed softly, and said in a low voice, "Is it troublesome?" Nicole...... ......I'm afraid I'm going to be in big trouble this time! I've met Seth......"

An hour later, a few guards who were patrolling outside suddenly heard an exclamation from Miss Nicole from the upper floor where Miss Nicole lived......

"What !!"

Nicole stared at Roddy in front of her with wide eyes, but fortunately she only shouted, and instinctively covered her mouth, and then her face was also gloomy, her eyes flashed with anger, and she said in a trembling voice: "That bastard, he ...... Is he crazy!"

There was a knock on the door outside, and then one of the guards shouted, "Miss, are you alright?"

Nicole was in a rage, and when she heard this, she immediately shouted: "Whatever you want, go down, I'm fine! No one will go upstairs without me!"

After the guards outside left, Nicole couldn't help but walk back and forth in the room twice, her brows furrowed tightly, suddenly angry, suddenly sad, and finally sighed and said in a low voice: "Roddy, this is really troublesome." ”

"I know. ”

Nicole thought and sighed, "But now it seems that the only way in front of me is that Seth's plan...... Also, he said that His Majesty the Emperor would die? What does that mean?"

Roddy shook his head: "I don't know." ”

"I don't know what it means?"

Nicole frowned, but as soon as he finished saying this, the voice of the guard came from outside: "Miss Nicole, His Excellency Gordon, the commander of the Royal Guard, is here, and he has asked to see you immediately!"

Nicole glanced at Roddy, thought for a moment, and said, "Okay, you let Captain Gordon wait for me in the hall......"

Before she could finish her sentence, Gordon's anxious voice came in: "Miss Nicole, I'm here, wait for me to come in?"

Nicole was stunned for a moment and glanced at Roddy, who immediately walked behind the screen in the room for changing.

Then Nicole took a deep breath and said, "Captain Gordon, please come in!"

The door opened, and the heavily armed Gordon strode in, first turned and closed the door, and then fell down on one knee, his face full of seriousness and anxiety, and whispered, "Miss Nicole, I'm sorry I broke into your room...... But things are really urgent...... And I came here secretly...... So I can't ......."

"Please, Gordon Commander!" Nicole kept her composure.

Gordon's voice was not loud, but every word was clear:

"Just an hour ago, His Majesty the Emperor suddenly fainted...... After examining the warlocks and medical officers in the court, they all said......"

"Say what?"

"Say that Your Majesty won't live for a few days!"

"What!" Nicole jumped to her feet, glaring at Gordon.

Gordon said in a low voice: "I just learned the news, and I will immediately come and tell Miss!" Miss...... He seemed to hesitate for a moment, but still said: "Your Majesty the Emperor suddenly became like this...... But there was no crown prince left! At such a moment, the situation in the imperial capital was complicated...... Our tulip family should make some preparations! Every time this kind of imperial power is changed, it is like walking a tightrope on a cliff! At this moment, the Duke is not in the imperial capital, so I have to come to tell Miss!"

Nicole's eyes flickered, she thought for a moment, and said in a low voice: "Thank you, Gordon Commander ......" After saying this, she immediately said in a loud voice: "Come on, prepare the carriage! I want to enter the palace!"

Gordon was startled and said loudly: "Miss, now enter the palace, now ......."

Nicole shook her head, her eyes were a little strange, she said lightly: "I'm going to see Her Majesty!" After a pause, she suddenly said, "Commander Gordon, please go out first...... I'm going to get a change of clothes!"

In a royal manor in the suburbs, the gloomy Prince Balang was slowly wiping a dagger in his hand, and the cold light on the dagger was reflected on his face.

There was a hint of grief and gloom in the eyes of this serious middle-aged man, and suddenly he heard a few flutters outside the window, and a carrier pigeon flew in from outside.

His complexion suddenly changed, and a complicated look appeared in his eyes, and then this gaze gradually turned into a smile, and a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"He can't do it...... Not now......" Prince Barang smiled as if bitter: "He can't do it anymore?"

He suddenly threw the scroll of paper in his hand to the ground, and said hatefully: "Why is this! Why I have planned everything, but my son is dead!!"

After taking a few breaths, his breathing gradually calmed down, he picked up the paper scroll on the ground again and looked at it again, and suddenly laughed wildly, "Hahahaha...... He can't do it anymore...... Then I am the emperor! I am the emperor!!"

He laughed louder and louder, but with his wild laughter, tears were already flowing out!

Finally, after he calmed down, he took a deep breath and shouted, "Someone!"

Prince Balang looked at his men who walked in and said, "Send someone to the Central Cavalry Regiment! Let the Commander of the Bayi Legion come to me immediately!"

He had a sneer on his face, and the gaze in his eyes was fierce, which made his subordinates stunned.

Prince Barang's face sank, and when he was about to say something, suddenly a carrier pigeon flew in outside the window, and Barang's heart moved, walked over, took off a paper roll tied to the pigeon's feet, and frowned: "What news is there......?"

He unfolded the scroll and looked at it for a moment, and his eyes immediately widened, and he suddenly roared, "What's going on!!......! She's pregnant!!"

Imperial capital, the palace of the Marquis of Caroline, Minister of War of the Lionhearts.

The old marquis was already standing in front of the door, he had just learned the news from the palace, His Majesty the Emperor was suddenly critically ill, and was now in a coma - when he got the news, the old fox's eyelids only twitched slightly, and then he immediately gave an order to his henchmen at home.

"Ride out of the city at once, hurried to the Northern Legion, and tell Milo the news! Let him straighten his army at once, and wait for news from me! Let him be ready at all times...... But you must wait for my news, and without my news, he is not allowed to act rashly! Now that His Majesty the Emperor is no longer able to do so, the only person who will succeed him will be Prince Balang...... We have always been at odds, and I am a confidant of His Majesty, and now that he has succeeded to the throne, it is likely to be against me!

After giving this order, the old marquis sighed and muttered, "It's time for the change of imperial power again...... It's really shocking to encounter this kind of thing...... This guy Barang really wants to move our Lionhearts...... Hmph, don't forget that the Empire's Northern Legion is still in our hands!"

Then the old Marquis Caroline, escorted by the guards, walked out of the Marquis's Palace, and was about to get into the carriage, when suddenly a horse came running from the street quickly, galloped to the gate of the Marquis's Palace, and immediately a man dressed in the palace service jumped down.

The Marquis of Caroline's heart moved, and asked the guards not to stop the man, but he whispered, "Why did you come here by yourself? ”

The man walked briskly to the Marquis Caroline's side and whispered something in his ear.

This old fox kept his composure when he received the news of His Majesty's death, but when he heard this, the muscles on his face trembled violently, and he suddenly said to his subordinates: "Don't go to the palace!!"

With the stunned expressions of the guards under his command, the Marquis of Caroline's face was gloomy and faint: "Get out of the city! Go to Prince Baran's manor!"

After the old marquis said this, he got into the carriage and sat down in his seat with a gloomy face, still thinking about what the insider in the palace had said to him just now.

"Her Majesty is pregnant! After checking it out, the court doctor confirmed that it was true! Now Miss Nicole of the Tulip Family is with Her Majesty...... In view of the grave situation of His Majesty at present, Her Majesty the Empress has issued an order on behalf of Her Majesty the Emperor to immediately recall the Duke of Tulip! This order has been approved by His Majesty's two uncles!"

The old marquis's eyes were a little gloomy, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Tulip ......"

At the east gate of the imperial capital, a horse had already galloped in from the city gate, but the soldiers defending the city did not stop it, because the knight on the horse held a token symbolizing the royal coat of arms in one hand, and the horse galloped towards the garrison of the central cavalry regiment.

And at the north gate of the imperial capital, a horse also went out of the city and went in the direction of due north along the main road, and the knight of Mashan had a serious face, because he had the strict orders of the old Marquis of Caroline!

And in the south of the imperial capital, on the road dozens of miles away from the imperial capital, a handsome black horse is spreading its four hooves and galloping quickly!

If Ziggy or Gordon had seen this horse, they would have been very surprised, because this was the old Duke Tulip riding the black steed "Garros" who had been galloping on the battlefield for many years.

This horse was taller and more majestic than ordinary horses, its limbs were as strong as steel and iron bones, and the muscles on its body were distinct, as powerful as a knife carving! The knight on the horse, with his blue head flying in the wind, and his resolute face with a bit of solemnity, he bent down in the posture of the most accurate cavalryman, trying to reduce the consumption of physical strength.

Because he knows that there is still a long way to go!

Roddy was heading south, and his destination was Purple Leaf City in the south!

"Roddy, things are very dangerous now, you must go back to the south immediately, and then bring all the wolf tooth army back! Use it as quickly as possible! At the same time, ask General Camus, the commander of the Southern Legion, to immediately take the Southern Army to the imperial capital! I have here an order signed by Her Majesty the Empress herself! Although Her Majesty has no right to do this, but now the matter is urgent, you tell the commander of the Imperial Capital about the situation in the Imperial Capital, and I think Captain Camus can understand! If he doesn't understand, you must convince him! Here in the imperial capital, there is Mr. Qiu, you don't have to worry about our safety!"

Roddy didn't want to leave the imperial capital, but Nicole's remarks made him make up his mind.

What Nicole said was, "Roddy...... Now Seth has betrayed the family and betrayed the empire...... I...... You are my only reliance! If the emperor dies, then Prince Barang learns that the empress is pregnant, then he will inevitably have a coup d'état! What is needed for a coup d'état is military power! Our tulip family is deeply rooted in the emperor's side, and once the emperor dies, who will the army follow...... Hmph, just look at the pattern on the flag!"

Roddy sneered in his heart - I may not be good at conspiracy, but if I want to take the Wolf Tooth Army to kill people, it will be a simple matter!

Just when the imperial capital was surging and all the major forces were about to move, behind a remote and desolate barren mountain far away from the outskirts of the imperial capital......

This Huo Ran is a cemetery outside the imperial capital, large and small tombstones are erected, just know that this is the cemetery of some ordinary people.

Under the gloomy sky, the cemetery seemed to be shrouded in a fog, and in the silence, only occasionally two crows were heard croaking twice on the branches.

Just in the depths of the cemetery, it was as if a strange figure was wriggling......

The figure seemed to be patchwork together on the ground, and then a cloud of light hung over him......

After fusing the last "part" on the body, the man finally stretched lazily, a relaxed smile appeared on a wooden face, and said lightly: "It's finally finished...... It's easy to think about, but it's so complicated to do......"

He looked down and carefully examined his body, with a satisfied look in his eyes: "It's okay, it's okay, it's finally a little human...... Well, I just don't know how long it can last if the spiritual power consumes too much...... It would be more appropriate to have a body that has just died......"

At this point, he sighed: "Let's make do with it first......" He took two steps crookedly, and said with a wry smile: "Hell, the way people walk is really a little unaccustomed......"

He walked out of the graveyard with a wolf-like stride with a smug smile on his face......

"Boy Roddy, you'll be shocked to see me!hahahaha...... My old man is such a genius!"
