Chapter 305: Marriage
The ship docked at a small port on the coast of the northern province of Guangming 6, forty miles from Thundering City. There was already a team of Royal Guards who were ordered to greet the envoy here, and it was Roddy's old acquaintance Gordon who led the team, oh, now General Gordon! Because Gordon was already the deputy commander of the Royal Guard after the war with Roland 6.
Before Gordon came, he had received orders from His Majesty the Emperor that the matter of the envoy's return to China must be kept strictly secret and not publicized to the public. After receiving the envoy, everything must be obeyed by the envoy's orders, and there must be no disobedience.
After the ship docked at the dock, Gordon and his two lieutenants were already waiting on the shore, and then they saw two planks lowered from the ship, and the group stepped off the boat.
For a young relative, tall and majestic, with a resolute complexion, but with a bit of melancholy between his eyebrows, Gordon recognized that it was Count Roddy, who was rumored to be the emperor's illegitimate son in the imperial capital.
Gordon perked up, and immediately strode up, and was about to bow down to be rude, when he saw the person behind Roddy, and he was stupid!
The young man behind Roddy was tall and slender, with a face so handsome that even the sun god would be jealous, with a long golden head, and eyes as blue as a lake.
"Duke Tulip...... Lord Duke!!" If seeing Roddy was just a ceremonial respect, but suddenly I saw Lord Tulip here. Gordon shouted almost reflexively, and then fell to his knees with a thud. Even the two adjutants of the Royal Guard behind him, who had fought with Luo Di in the northwest, naturally recognized the appearance of the "Duke", and immediately knelt down with surprise on his face.
Hasn't Duke Tulip been recuperating from his injuries behind closed doors?
Gordon's heart immediately moved, these are the secrets of the upper echelons of the empire. But it wasn't for him to inquire about it, his heart moved, and he turned around and whispered to the two people behind him: "The whereabouts of Lord Duke are the top secret of the empire, you two give me a more strict mouth!"
The two lieutenants agreed immediately.
Seeing that the greeting General Gordon finally regarded Seth as the Duke of Tulip, Roddy suddenly had an extremely complicated mood in his heart.
Looking at the heartfelt, heartfelt reverence they showed for Seth, Roddy actually felt a sense of loss for a momentβthese reverent and burning gazes had been directed at him. Those splendid glories were also earned by oneself with one's own blood! Now that these have finally left him, he seems to have a feeling of emptiness in his heart.
His face was slightly strange, and Miaosi next to him immediately noticed the subtle change in his mood. Roddy was a little dazed when he felt a soft little hand tuck into his palm, he glanced back at Miaosi, but saw a beam of eyes with infinite tenderness, and he suddenly smiled.
What if I lose all that cloudy glory? I've got the most precious thing in the world!
Sai's talent for acting is really amazing. His face was silent, and he made a duke's majestic posture, just nodded, and said in a deep voice: "Get up, listen to Luo Di this time." β
Roddy also nodded. Zhan Yan smiled: "General Gordon, don't come unharmed." β
Gordon gave a samurai salute and smiled, "All is well." Your Excellency Earl has fulfilled his mission this time, and His Majesty will definitely have a heavy reward after returning home, and I am here to congratulate Your Excellency Earl. β
Immediately, Roddy ordered Gordon to find two carriages and asked Seth and Mioss and Ruolan and others to get into the carriages. After all, Seth's identity has been restored to Duke Tulip, and it is not suitable to show up at such a moment.
When Roddy's eyes saw Nitsh, he didn't know how to speak.
Nice's face was calm and she smiled softly. "Alright, Roddy, it's over. It's time for me to leave, please give me a horse, and I'll go back." β
Roddy opened his mouth: "You ......" but after saying the word "you", he didn't know how to continue.
Nydith sighed, "There's no such thing as a feast, Roddy, let's leave it at that." β
With that, she stepped aside and led a horse. The adjutant next to him saw that the Earl did not speak, and obediently gave up his horse.
Nydith turned over and got on her horse, whipped her horse and ran away, and after running more than ten meters, she suddenly turned around and shouted, "Roddy!
After speaking, he didn't stay any longer, and the moment was already far away.
Luo Di looked at the figure in the distance, and even he couldn't tell what it was like. Old Mark, who was only on the side, smiled slightly, and said, "Boy, why bother to be such a mother-in-law? It should be yours, and it is naturally yours, even if you put it aside for a while, you won't be able to run away in the future." What are you anxious about? As long as she is in the Empire, are you still worried that you will not be able to find her in the future?"
After speaking, Old Mark suddenly stuffed a piece of crystal into Roddy's palm, and whispered a laugh next to Roddy's ear: "I have secretly placed a spell mark on her, you take this crystal stone, she runs to the ends of the earth, you can also find her." β
With that, the old monster-like figure laughed and jumped into the carriage where Seth was.
Roddy pinched the thing in his hand a little dazed, but he didn't know that Myosi was looking at him from the window of a carriage, and then sighed faintly.
"What are you sighing about" It was Ruolan who was in the same carriage with Miaosi, she had lost her amazing strength at the moment, except for her body that was bigger than others, the rest were no different from ordinary people, and because she had lost the strong strength of the paladin, her fat and bloated body turned her into a big fat man who had to breathe when she walked two steps. I just heard her say: "Men are not good things. You ......"
"Shut up. Miao Si said coldly, and then closed her eyes.
This black veil sage treats almost everyone except Luo Di with a cold look, and this iceberg is only willing to melt in front of Luo Di alone.
Under the escort of two thousand royal guards. The group traveled from the northern provinces to the imperial capital, and along the way, only a few of Gordon's henchmen knew that Duke Tulip was in his group, and the rest of the soldiers did not know.
It's just that almost all the people in the emperor's ** team are all fanatical admirers of Duke Tulip, and these Gordon's henchmen are naturally no exception, and a few people can't help but ride close to Seth's carriage when they have nothing to do, and try their best to pretend to be a majestic and high-spirited appearance, hoping to attract the favor of the Duke.
Roddy smiled bitterly in his heart, he was not used to riding in a carriage. Just rode side by side with Gordon.
"General Gordon, these two of your men are really interesting. β
Gordon smiled slightly: "They know that the god of war is in the car, and these little cubs naturally can't bear it." After speaking, he sighed: "To put it mildly, I can be regarded as watching the Duke grow up step by step." Originally in the Northwest ...... Hehe, my old Gordon was born and died with the Duke. Speaking of this, he glanced at Luo Di and said with a smile: "Lord Earl is also under the command of the Duke, and I am a bit of a boast when I say something." β
Roddy smiled. "You're welcome. After a pause, he looked at the young lieutenants behind him who were scratching their ears and cheeks beside the carriage of Seth, and smiled, "Commander Gordon." Please let your men come back, it's a bit unsightly. If they are interested, I'll introduce them to Thor's Whip and serve the Duke, that's it. β
Gordon laughed: "Then I will thank you in their place! These two boys are very good! If you can follow the Duke more, then the future will be very good, alas...... It's really boring to be in the palace all the time. β
Speaking of which. Gordon's heart suddenly moved: "What did you call me just now...... Gordon Commander ?......"
Luo Di's heart moved, knowing that he had made a slip of the tongue for a while, when he was originally in the northwest, he was called like this, and he was already used to it.
Gordon's face was a little weird, and he muttered, "Why is the tone you used to call me Gordon so familiar......
Seven days later, the group finally arrived in the imperial capital. And after returning to the imperial capital, Luo Di was surprised to see that there were many more soldiers patrolling the ground on the walls of the imperial capital than usual, and there were many warriors wearing the costumes of the "Flame Warrior Regiment" of the Divine Sect and the city guards patrolling together at the checkpoints of the city gate and on the streets!
Luo Di frowned and glanced at Gordon: "What's the matter? How could these Flame Warrior Regiments appear in the Imperial Capital?"
Gordon smiled bitterly: "Well, Your Majesty has issued a gag order, and it is inconvenient for me to tell you, so you should ask Your Majesty yourself." β
He thought to himself, you are the illegitimate son of His Majesty, you go and ask, of course Your Majesty will tell you. But Your Majesty's gag order has already been issued, and it is inconvenient for me to say it.
The group entered the imperial capital and headed for the palace, and along the way, there were actually many people from the Flame Warrior Regiment on the street, patrolling everywhere with weapons. These scenes made Luo Di feel a little uneasy in his heart.
A team of men and horses escorted Seth directly to the Duke of Tulip's Palace, and Roddy learned that Miss Nicole had returned to the imperial capital, although he also wanted to go back immediately, but the emperor's order was to ask Roddy to go to the palace to meet him immediately. Although I don't know what the old skeleton has in mind, it's hard to oppose after all.
Everything was normal in the palace, nothing out of the ordinary, and in the Hall of Light, the emperor had summoned the loyal ministers of the military, as well as Zige, who was now the deputy commander of Thor's Whip, and the old fox Marquis Caroline, to wait for Roddy's arrival.
Accompanied by Gordon, Luo Di first changed into a clean and neat armor uniform of the commander of the Royal Guard, and then went to the main hall to meet the emperor. It seems that this meeting was very serious and formal.
"Roddy, you're finally back!" As soon as Roddy walked into the main hall, Andy, who was sitting on it, walked down with a shout, and pretended to laugh and said, "My dear Roddy, I heard that you have successfully completed your mission, and I am proud of you!"
After speaking, he walked in front of Roddy, and without waiting for Roddy to react, he gave Roddy a warm hug.
The important ministers next to him, especially the Marquis of Caroline, couldn't help but sigh in their hearts: "After all, it is the illegitimate son of His Majesty, and it is really a father-son relationship." β
Roddy was a little embarrassed and whispered in Andy's ear, "What are you doing?"
"Shut up and cooperate with me. Andy left a sentence before letting go of Roddy.
Immediately Andy returned to it and ordered Roddy to make a formal report on the process of the mission, which was regarded as a face-to-face debriefing.
Luo Di immediately said the manuscript that had been prepared a long time ago, he said the situation of Roland 6, and the Sauron Kingdom united the various kingdoms of Roland and decided to start a war with the Temple, and the Sauron Kingdom had occupied the Dwarven Kingdom and obtained the Ironwood Resources. In the end, all the paladins in the Roland Grand 6 Temple died, and only the only one was Fielding.
These things only surprised the ministers.
Originally, the mission of Rodi's envoy was to unite the Roland Kingdom to negotiate peace, find a way to make Roland 6 civil strife, and let those kingdoms and temples fight, but I didn't expect things to be so successful! Now the two sides have openly turned their faces.
"Very good! Very good!" Andy deliberately pretended to be beaming, just now every time Roddy said a paragraph, he said "very good" that satisfied look, coupled with the joyful look in his eyes, how to look at it with a bit of "licking calf affection".
After a pause, Andy said again: "Roddy, I guess you don't know yet, just a few days ago, probably you were still on your way back, we got the news that Roland 6, that Promethean of the temple has officially crowned himself as the pope! Now the army of the Sauron Kingdom has gathered in the border area and confronted the Holy Knights of the Temple." War is inevitable!"
All the important ministers knelt down on one knee and cheered loudly: "The gods bless my Empire of Light!"
Andy said loudly: "In view of the fact that Count Roddy's mission was very successful and made great contributions to the Empire, I am determined to reward him well!"
After a pause, Andy showed a sly look in his eyes and smiled: "Roddy, if you have any requests, just put them forward!"
Luo Di was stunned for a moment, then shook his head: "No." β
Andy smiled slightly: "Okay, you're embarrassed to say it, so let me say it!"
coughed lightly: "I know about you and Miss Nicole of the Tulip Family, now that you have come back safely, and you have made great contributions to the empire, I will be here for you first, marry Miss Nicole of the Tulip Family, and marry you in three days, and I will personally marry you!"
"Huh?" Roddy froze. It's not that he's against marrying Nicole, he's just ...... Isn't that too fast?
I saw that the important ministers above the hall were all looking at them with a somewhat strange smile, obviously they had already heard of the love between this Count of Roddy and Miss Nicole. After all, when he was in Xilin Province, the emperor's illegitimate son and Miss Nicole's previous love story had already been reported.
In the face of these gazes, Ziggy's gaze should be even more with a kind smile, after all, Ziggy is the deputy commander of Thor's Whip, and he is considered the closest descendant of the Tulip family, if Roddy marries Miss Nicole, it will be "his own person".
"In addition, I decided...... Removal of Roddy from the Royal Guard...... It is the title of Marquis! Ren ......" Speaking of this, the emperor's eyes glanced at the audience, "Ren...... Commander of the Central Cavalry Corps, Commander of Thor's Whip!"
Airplanes!!
The audience was in an uproar!!
