Chapter 125: Mysterious Knight (1)

It takes three generations to cultivate a true nobleman! This sentence comes from the "Historical Examination of the Mainland Aristocrats", which is a common aristocratic etiquette textbook, and is also the golden rule for the mainland aristocracy to be superior to others. But in Jiangnan's view, the value and practical surname of this sentence ...... Equal to fart!

...... According to the original plan, Jiangnan's fake groom was going to 'die unexpectedly' after the wedding, but now that he has become the embodiment of Meng Ge, he naturally can't die easily. Therefore, Long Duo's handling of this matter turned out to be: Jiangnan restored Roddy's identity, and as for Ribes, he declared to the outside world that 'on the night after the wedding, follow in the footsteps of Meng Ge and walk between the yin and yang worlds.' ’

Well, that's the urbane way of saying 'missing'.

With the disappearance of Ribes, the empire will naturally have a series of chain reactions: some people say that Ribes is not missing, but is just hiding somewhere to cultivate the secret book given by Möngke, preparing to become the ace of the Rhine family, while others say that Ribes is simply dead, and the cause of death is that Long Duo is worried that his 'incarnation of Möngke' will take away his family rights, so he secretly killed his own grandson...... What is the truth of the matter, Long Duo and Jiang Nan, the two parties, are silent, leaving only an infinite space for outsiders to reverie.

On the third day after the wedding, Jiang Nan was officially appointed as the Rhine family's 'vice minister of foreign affairs', that is, the Rhine family's vice minister of foreign affairs, and the high-ranking deputy secretary of state.

Hearing this appointment, the little emperor Louis XIII didn't know what to think, but he also put the icing on the cake and gave Jiangnan the title of 'count'.

Brother, I already control the Marquis of Gigi, what else do you want the Count to do?

Jiang Nan pouted at the letter of appointment, but the palace eunuch who sent the letter saw Jiang Nan's disdain, for fear that he would exempt him from his 'favor', and hurriedly said: "Lord Earl, according to the laws of the empire, you already have the right to 'open the palace and raise the flag'!"

"Raise the flag in the open house?"

Jiang Nan asked a few questions before he realized that the imperial count had the right to own his own territory and army, specifically, he could buy a piece of land on his own, and then form a private army of no more than five hundred people on this land, completely loyal to Jiangnan.

own army...... Jiang Nan's heart was pounding, and in the next few days, he emptied all the savings of Jiji's housekeeper and bought a huge manor house that had been turned into a haunted house in the plague on the outskirts of Xianzhi City, and after a simple repair, Jiang Nan personally erected a light silver flag in front of the manor - the family crest in the center of the banner was a scalpel representing Jiangnan, with a slender blade and sharp and dazzling.

Because of this flag, Jiangnan is nicknamed 'Earl of Blade'.

For a time, Roddy, Earl of Blade, Tom, the Brigadier General of Glory, and Solon, the secretary general of the Sumore family, were called the 'Three Princes', the 'Three Potential Rising Stars of Imperial Politics'.

There's a lot of good news, and there's a lot of bad news.

Like what...... Veran is missing!

Veran was the granddaughter of Long Duo and the third rank of the Rhine family, and her disappearance caused quite a stir, until a city gate soldier reported, "When Veran left the city, he was accompanied by a woman in red, suspected to be the fifth on the Totem Heavenly List, Lady Wooding!"

As for whether Veran will still appear...... Who cares?

On the fifth day of Veran's disappearance, a piece of downright bad news shook the entire Reims Empire.

On March 28, the strongest man in the Zhanya Empire, Marshal Tiemu, personally led his troops to conquer six important military towns of the empire overnight, and advanced the battle line to a place less than 700 kilometers away from Xianzhi City! For a time, the empire was shaken, and Louis XIII smelled the danger of the collapse of the empire, so he ignored the plague and drew out thirteen elite regiments to fight against the plague, with a total of 570,000 troops and rushed to the front.

The lineup of this legion is unprecedentedly luxurious: the vanguard officer is the Wolf King Rainey and his seventy-thousand-wolf clan, the quartermaster, and the contemporary governor of the Sumore family, Margaret Thatcher!

Seeing the iron eyes, dragon duo, Thatcher, and the Qian Yuan hired by the Zhanya Empire, the two empires formed a million-strong army on the front line to face off against the river, and the super luxurious formation of the five totem kings complemented each other, and in an instant, the blood of the plants and trees was boiling, the blood of the beasts was boiling, and the blood of the original continent was boiling!

But just when the bard began to call this war 'epic', Jiang Nan was devastated in his Earl's Palace...... "Well-informed old gentlemen, would you like to have a drink?"

Jiang Nan covered the earl's ribbon on his chest with his left hand, raised a goblet with his right hand, and said with a smile, at this time he was sitting in the living room of his house, opposite thirteen elegant and elegant old men.

Syllable!

An old man raised the rattan in his hand, slapped Jiang Nan's hand hard, and said with a smile: "Dear Earl Roddy, there is still a little bit of fallacy in your movements, will you do it again?"

"Calm down, old gentlemen......"

Syllable!

Before Jiang Nan finished speaking, the rattan added another scar to his wrist, and the old man still smiled and said, "Calm, well, these words do not correspond to your identity, Lord Earl, can you please forget them? Now, please toast us again." ”

Jiang Nan already had more than a dozen scars on the back of his hand, but he shook his head with a wry smile, and honestly raised the goblet again...... "No, no! Earl who raises pigs, don't you have the potential to be a nobleman?" The old man snatched the goblet painfully and did the same action as Jiang Nan, "Please pay attention to my movements, when using the goblet to toast, the first step, your right hand must ensure that the mouth of the cup is parallel to the eyebrows, and at the same time look at the tip of the other person's nose......"

Looking at the old man who was telling the toasting method, Jiang Nan had a respectful look on his face, but he was muttering in his heart: Old guy, may I ask, does your grandmother need some male hormone nourishment?

Look at my brother's way of looking now, a simple 'x your grandmother', and they forced them to say it so elegantly...... These thirteen old men are the etiquette teachers of the royal family, the court etiquette officials!

...... A few days ago, Jiang Nan attended a royal banquet as an imperial count.

In Jiang Nan's view, the so-called royal banquet is nothing more than eating and drinking, making a few aristocratic friends, and it can be regarded as the job of the vice minister of foreign affairs, so he gladly accepted the invitation and came to the banquet hall where high-ranking officials gathered. As soon as he appeared, Jiang Nan, who was wearing the aristocratic dress of Alyssa's tailor, attracted everyone's attention, and praised 'the Rhine family has produced a decent diplomat', but it was not expected, just after he sent a nobleman's shoulder...... A court official came to Jiang Nan and pointed to the door elegantly, "Lord Earl, please be outside the door and help me close the door, okay?"

Jiang Nan was driven out in a gloomy way! Before leaving, he turned his head to take a look, only to see a piece of disdainful eyes and mocking smiles, and even the colleagues of the Rhine family were also flushed, as if they had lost a lot of face in front of the nobles.

"Roddy, you are no longer a slave of pigs, you are a diplomat of the Rhine family, representing the image of the Rhine family!"

"You're going to tapped a nobleman on the shoulder, God, that means you don't want that nobleman to associate with!Hmph, maybe we should be glad you didn't smash your glove on the nobleman's chest - I wish you knew that smashing the glove is a provocative duel!"

In the complaints of the Rhine family, Jiang Nan finally understood the reason why he was kicked out: nobility is synonymous with dignity and elegance, and if you want to be accepted by the circle of nobles and become a real nobleman, standard and decent aristocratic etiquette is an indispensable mask. Otherwise...... He'll always be a crude nouveau riche!

So the next day, Jiang Nan found himself thirteen experienced court etiquette teachers...... Well, he wants to rebrand the image of Luo Di, at least to meet the requirements of the post of deputy foreign minister!

Aren't you saying it's a crime?!

"Oh, dear Count Roddy, are you there?"

Just when Jiangnan was being tortured by the ceremonial officials, there was a sissy with Ji Ji's surname outside.

Jiang Nan was about to let Ji Ji in, but more than a dozen gentle eyes shot at him, and he hurriedly coughed lightly, and said softly: "Is it the beautiful Ji Ji butler?" My friend, can you please wait a while, for the sake of our friendship!"

After saying that, he bowed to the courtesants, "Old gentlemen, please forgive me for my mistakes, hmm, as an earl, I can't just go to see another nobleman, can you help me change my clothes?"

"Lord Earl, you can graduate from your etiquette course. ”

The old people smiled with satisfaction, and an old man brought Jiang Nan a change of dress, and said softly: "But we must remind you that you are the vice minister of foreign affairs of the Rhine family, and your status is noble, so after you have mastered the standard etiquette, you should also have a little bit of your own characteristics, just like this dress......" smiled mysteriously and unfolded the full set of dresses, "Generally speaking, this kind of feature is what we call 'charm'." ”

...... A few minutes later, Gangnam changed into a different image.

A pair of black plush riding boots, a pair of black silk trousers, and the same black gown, this wide dress echoes the top and bottom of the constricted trousers and riding boots, highlighting his figure with a sunny and strong sense of layering.

Looking at the face again, I saw a neat short silver hair, the tips of which hung down softly in front of the eyes, and a pair of gold-rimmed glasses on the bridge of the nose complemented each other; in a solemn black outfit, the pale silver hair and pale gold glasses actually gave people a soft and elegant feeling.

This is the result of the ceremonial officials!

"What about the dear master, you, you are so surprising!"

Gigi clutched his chest in surprise, his big eyes glowing with an ambiguous light.

At this time, the two of them were sitting in a black gold-encrusted carriage, driving towards the earl's palace in Tariq. Their purpose is also very simple, that is, to obtain the sonic soul crown in the hands of the steel clan and form the third place on the weapon spectrum - the War Spirit Scepter!

"Hmm. In response to Gigi's praise, Jiang Nan narrowed his eyes and leaned lazily on the saddle, enjoying the evening sun while gently wiping the godfather's cane in his hand. This appearance has fully met the requirements of the nobles who create evil.

It's just that his eyelids are getting heavier and heavier...... Tariq's manor was ten kilometers away on the outskirts, and there was a lot of delay at the plague prevention and control checkpoints along the way, and when the carriage slowly came to the manor, it was already dark.

"We're here!"

Jiji softly called out to the sleeping Gangnam, but he only heard a faint snoring.

"Master!" said Gigi, raising his voice slightly. But Jiangnan is still confused.

"Master, we don't want the Sonic Soul Crown!"

Ji Ji raised his voice to the normal volume, but Jiang Nan had not yet spoken, and suddenly a mournful cry came from the distance, "Is it Count Roddy's carriage ahead?" I'm Tariq, help me!"

Gigi covered his mouth in surprise, "Master, it's not good, wake up!"

Jiang Nan slowly opened one eyelid, "Don't rush ......"

I saw that the front of the manor had become a slaughterhouse - Tariq was also an imperial count with 500 private troops, and at this time, his 500 troops were desperately rushing in front of the gate to protect Tariq in the direction of Jiangnan. He himself was carrying a white-haired old man covered in blood and two arrows stuck in his back, and he roared angrily: "Leave me alone! Protect the back, my father has been hit by an arrow!"

"Master, Tariq can't hold it anymore, should we make a move?"

"Hmm, let's look at ...... again"

Jiangnan looked at Tariq's opponent slowly.

The murderers of Tariq and the army of five hundred were thirteen ironclad knights, twelve in silver armor, and the thinnest one wore a gold-colored chain mail. Although their number was small, their strength far surpassed that of ordinary soldiers, thirteen people walked their horses in a circle around the military formation, galloping all the way, shooting arrows indiscriminately, causing bursts of blood to sway, and they actually besieged five hundred troops with an absolutely inferior number!

"Thirteen to five hundred, all of them are masters!"

Ji Ji licked his lips shyly, and his soft smile highlighted a little weird, "Master, people are asking you, do you want to save people?"

Jiang Nan took off his gold-wire glasses, rubbed his sleepy eyes, and then put them on his tired face.

"Oh, do you want to ...... or not?"

"Golden!"

Jiang Nan's cane lightly pointed at the golden-colored chain mail, turning into a streamer, capturing the thief and capturing the king first, and directly attacking the golden-armored knight who was obviously the leader.

Jiji suddenly realized, and laughed a few times at the chaotic military formation!

The laughter turned into a heart-shaped sound beam that seemed to be a substance, and it blew up on sight, boom, boom, boom, and blasted dozens of Tariq's personal soldiers in a row, and actually blew up a road leading to the golden knight.

Following the path opened up by Gigi, Jiang Nan flew unimpeded to the vicinity of the golden knight, and then his body circled, and with a dazzling 'big windmill', his right fist slammed into the knight's head!

Herod!

This move concealed the speed of the 'phantom', as fast as lightning, and the war horse under the knight's crotch could not bear this pressure, and it bore the brunt of it, and turned into a mess of mud after a sad scream!
