After listening to Nicole's words, Roddy was silent. At this time, he is no longer the ignorant teenager he was at the beginning, not only has his strength increased since these days, but with the education of those scholars and reading a lot of books at home every day, his vision and mind are no longer the ignorant teenager he should be.

Roddy certainly knew what kind of situation the empire was facing after facing the dismal results of such a fierce foreign war.

Most of the Northwest Corps was damaged, which means that one legion has been disabled. And the next thing is that the entire northwest territory of the empire is exposed to the forces of the Great Moon Kingdom! Although the overall army strength of the empire is far stronger than that of the Great Moon Kingdom, it is not possible to mobilize the northern and southern corps in three or five days. At this moment, the prince of the Great Moon Kingdom came to Yanjing as an envoy, which is nothing more than two possibilities:

The first possibility: a declaration of war! But this possibility is not very common. Because after all, the overall strength of the Great Moon Kingdom, it is unlikely that you want to fight a full-scale war between countries with the empire. And even if war is declared, there is no need to send a prince here, just send an envoy at will. Otherwise, once war is declared, it is very likely that the sent envoy will be slaughtered by the emperor in a fit of rage.

The second possibility: negotiation of peace! Luo Di thought in his heart that this possibility was relatively large. After all, the empire is currently the defeated side, and the situation in the northwest is very crisis, whether it is really swallowing its anger and being humiliated, or delaying the army to try to gather troops, the empire needs to buy time to take a temporary respite.

If that Prince Songtsam really came to negotiate peace, then the conflict between his own people in the ** cave is really a big disaster. The Londol, who was seriously injured by himself, is probably a military general under Prince Songtsam. This conflict can be regarded as a serious diplomatic incident - even if Londol, who was injured by himself, is just a small guard, if the prince Songtsam deliberately wants to make a big deal out of it, he will use this matter to play a scoundrel, deliberately make things difficult in the negotiation and negotiation, and the lion will open his mouth widely, it will also give the empire a great headache - after all, in his own Yanjing, beating other people's envoys, no matter what, it is unjustifiable.

Both fell silent and did not say a word all the way, escorted back to the mansion by the guards.

As soon as the carriage arrived at the door of the house, I saw more than 20 white horses at the door of the Tulip family from a distance, and more than 20 knights were standing on both sides of the house. Each of these knights was a burly man, wearing golden armor, carrying a special gold-sheathed sword at his waist, and each had a long red tassel stuck in his helmet.

Nicole saw at a glance that these were the royal guards in the palace, and she was even more shocked.

As soon as Luo Di and Nicole dismounted, a middle-aged knight led by him strode in front of him, first saluted respectfully, and then said slowly: "The humble position is Gordon, the deputy commander of the Royal Guard, His Majesty the Emperor summoned the Tulip family's first-class warrior Seth, please come with me." ”

Hearing this, Luo Di immediately exchanged a look with Nicole, and a thought flashed in both of their hearts at the same time: Come so fast!

Nicole's face didn't move, but she said lightly: "Okay, let my brother go in and change his clothes first, and then I will go with you to meet His Majesty the Emperor." ”

Deputy Commander Gordon didn't dare to object, but nodded and said in a low voice: "Yes, then we will wait here." ”

Nicole took Roddy into the house, opened the servant, and helped Roddy change his clothes with her own hands. The uniform of the imperial cadet on his original body was replaced, because Seth himself had not yet received the inheritance of the title, so he did not have the uniform to meet His Majesty the Emperor, so he could only change into a set of samurai uniforms made by nobles, but he paid a lot more attention to decoration, the most conspicuous was the family crest on his chest.

Nicole's face was not very good, and she asked in a low voice, "How are you now?" If not, I can let them go back first and say that you were injured in the fight with the people of the Great Moon Country, and you can't go for the time being. In that case, His Majesty the Emperor cannot force you to go immediately. ”

Roddy shook his head and said, "No, Nicole." As soon as I was picked up by you, the guards were waiting at home, which shows that His Majesty the Emperor knows the situation very well, and he knows whether I am injured or not. What's more, that Gordon had already seen me just now, and the reason for the injury couldn't be hidden. ”

Nicole sighed, couldn't help but glance at Roddy, and said, "I didn't expect you to be quite sober." It's just so fast...... We haven't figured out how to deal with it yet. ”

Roddy nodded, "There's no time, I'll try to improvise, Nicole...... I'm just worried that the emperor will see if my identity is fake?"

Nicole looked sideways and thought carefully for a while, and said, "It shouldn't be, His Majesty the Emperor hasn't seen Seth much, so there shouldn't be any problems, as for etiquette, I have taught you." There won't be any big loopholes. It's just that I'm worried a little bit......"

"What?"

Nicole sighed: "I'm afraid that His Majesty the Emperor has a lot of hatred for my brother in his heart." ”

"Why?" said Roddy.

Nicole had a strange look on her face: "Because of Jojo!" Without waiting for Roddy to speak, Nicole continued to explain: "Originally, I didn't know about the relationship between my brother and Jojo, but I think this kind of thing can't be hidden from His Majesty the Emperor...... Did you know that His Majesty the Emperor has always liked Jojo. Qiao Qiao has been in Yanjing for so long, although she is the queen's sister, but His Majesty the Emperor has never given her the title of princess of the county, I am afraid that it is because she has always had thoughts about Qiao Qiao......"

Luo Di smiled bitterly: "Then if the emperor knows about the relationship between Seth and Jojo, won't he hate me to death?"

Nicole shook her head and smiled bitterly: "This is also a problem that I have been worried about. But if you think about this kind of affair, His Majesty the Emperor will not say it publicly, the most important thing today is to solve the matter of fighting with the envoys of the Great Moon Kingdom...... In short, no matter what punishment Your Majesty has, you should bear with it a little. ”

Luo Di smiled coldly: "Otherwise, how can you put the blame on Bayan? He is the emperor's own nephew!"

Nicole sighed and didn't say anything, just focused on helping Roddy get dressed. Roddy didn't say anything anymore, because he knew that it was useless to say anything at this time, and he could only take one step at a time.

Before leaving, Roddy thought for a moment and told the servant to go to his room and take the "spotlight sword" hanging on the wall with him. Although I don't know how to use that sword, I always feel a little more stable when I carry it on my body. Although he can move physically at the moment, but the fight just now has exhausted all his energy, especially the last sword, which almost made him collapse, although it is a little better now, but I am afraid that it will not work with people in a short time, with a sword, it is also to defend himself and strengthen his courage.

Nicole sent Roddy out of the gate and into the carriage, and according to her wishes, she wanted to go with Roddy, but the Gordon Commander refused her request.

"His Majesty the Emperor only said that he would see Master Seth alone, Miss Nicole, you should stay at home. Gordon said lightly. Seeing a trace of fear on Nicole's face, Gordon's heart softened, walked into Nicole's two steps, and said softly in a low voice: "Miss Nicole, don't worry, His Majesty the Emperor already knew about today's events when he ordered me to come, but it seems that His Majesty is in a good mood, and he doesn't seem to be too angry." I don't think anything will happen to Master Seth. ”

Nicole was stunned for a moment, looking at Gordon in surprise, unable to figure out why Gordon was so oriented towards herself.

Gordon's face was solemn, he nodded to Nicole secretly, and said in a low voice: "The humble position was originally from the Central Cavalry Regiment, and it was once a subordinate of the old duke. ”

Nicole's heart settled down a little, but her words remained unchanged at the moment, and she only nodded gratefully to him.

Roddy got into the carriage, and Gordon gave an order, and more than twenty knights turned over and got on their horses, and the carriage that guarded them slowly drove towards the palace......;
