This is obviously an old man, at this moment. But the eyes were bright, as if they could shine directly into people's hearts.

It's just that Camiciro deliberately lowered his head. Don't meet each other's eyes, keep your head down. But he said softly:

"Have you forgotten...... I am your nephew and son-in-law. This home...... It will always be my land in the future. But all people. Always find a way back for yourself. ”

It wasn't loud. But word by word, fell into the ears of the old prime minister. Let the old man's face change slightly.

Finally, Robeschanel sat down slowly. He patted his knee lightly and stared at Camiciro for a while before smiling: "Okay." Get up. ”

Only then did Camiciro raise his head and look into the eyes of the old prime minister: "I was also very surprised. Unexpectedly, you have been standing in the empire for decades. Wise to protect yourself. But it was early in the palace. There are people who have you. ”

"Be cautious. The old prime minister glanced at Camiciro.

Camisiro smiled a little mockingly: "You taught me to play confused." Be clear, and don't speculate on the king's thoughts. But you yourself had eyeliner in the palace early on...... It's not what you taught. ”

"It's differently. The old prime minister sneered. The old man's eyes naturally revealed the majesty of the imperial prime minister: "What is your status now?" Minister of War...... Hum. But you're young, you're not qualified, and you're in the military department. Those big guys, you may not be able to move them, with your current status, the status is noble and honorable. It's a first-class minister of the empire. But if you really talk about the power in your hands. I'm afraid that even the second-rate may not be able to touch it......! With your status, I teach you not to speculate about the king's thoughts, that is the right way. It's also for your good. ”

said. The old man sighed a little tiredly: "I'm different, I've been rolling in this dìdū pond since I was twenty years old. From the Department of Finance, the Imperial Department of Ceremonies. Inspectorate, Military High Command. Roll all the way. During this period, he was also transferred to the local governor for four years. Arguably. The various departments of the empire. various official positions. I sat almost all over again! and finally became the Prime Minister of the Empire. It took half of my life, and in my position, it sounds better. It's under one person, above ten thousand people, and it's hard to say......"

The old man suddenly smiled a little sarcastically: "If I meet a mediocre emperor, I will have great power." Saying that the crow is a white ground, he only knows that it is a white ground!! Of course. This is the heart of disobedience, although I have no land, but ...... Ordinary courtiers. You don't have to speculate about the emperor's thoughts, you can just be a pure 'courtier'. But...... I can't! I can't! I can't do it! I can't do it! If you are above 10,000,000 people, then it will not work! Therefore, I will teach you not to do local things, that is from your local standpoint. But. In my position, I have to do it!"

Now that the old man has let go of his heart. simply confessed: "I understood it in my early years." The position of the Prime Minister of the Empire. Hold the government of a country. It can no longer be regarded as a pure courtier, but ...... Therefore, I must always know the thoughts of the people in the palace. In fact, this kind of thing has happened for generations. I had eyeliner in the imperial city in my early years, and it has been for many years, but. This eyeliner. I don't plan anything big. Just ask for a piece of safe news, and naturally it will not be easy to expose. Immediately. The old man glanced at Camichiro: "I just can't think of these people." I even knew I was dying. I actually took refuge in you. ”

Camissiro laughed dryly: "As long as it's human." You have to find a way out for yourself. This home will be my land in the future anyway, do you plan to hide it from me for the rest of your life?"

Camisiro didn't hide it, and said frankly: "Some time ago, you had an illness in the winter and couldn't be a director. I take care of everything in this family, but as a result, some strange secret letters were sent to the internal affairs of the family, but I don't know where they came from. This curiosity aroused, so I checked it, but found that the secret letter was written in secret language. Ordinary people can't understand it even if they get it - but you have forgotten what I do. I was the regent. Worked undercover under the eldest prince for ten years. I'm all too familiar with this kind of secret credit password. And the purpose. You and the eyeliner in the palace. Those secret words are actually not very clever. It took me a little thought to decipher it, and only then did I know that the letter was actually the news from the palace, and I didn't expect it. You've been there for so many years. There has always been eyeliner in the Imperial City, that letter. It's nothing more than some trivial little things, what the Regent has been eating lately. What kind of tantrum did little Emperor Charles again. What books did Princess Karina read. How many days did the regent be busy with government affairs and did not go to see the queen and princess......"

"Hmph. I'm not trying to rebel. There is no need to pry into any big things. Just know these trivial little things. It is enough to have a general grasp of the situation in the court. The old prime minister shook his head: "If I really listen to some secret news." I'm afraid this eyeliner was exposed decades ago!"

"Just. It's a trivial thing, but it's still valuable in the end. Camiciro smiled bitterly: "There have been a lot of new doctors in the palace recently, and this matter has made me pay attention." ”

The old man pondered for a moment: "Since you also know, then it seems that my eyeliner in the palace has been subdued by you." Well, that's it, anyway. Sooner or later, I'm going to hand it over to you......"

said. The old man turned around. He took out a pen from the table and slowly wrote several lines on a blank piece of paper.

He looked up at Camissiro: "I've been eyeliner in the Imperial City for decades, and over the years, I have never deliberately probed into any royal secrets. But he pays attention to some seemingly ordinary things. You have to know, actually. A lot of seemingly simple little things, but they tell you a lot of secrets!"

He handed over the piece of paper: "Historically. Housekeeping in the palace. The court physicians would regularly purchase some medicinal herbs. Standby in the palace, over the years. What medicine to buy, how much to buy. It's all a rule, and the court magicians...... Hmph, magicians use special potions. Originally, they all bought land from the Magic Guild, but the court magicians and the Magic Guild were not all the way, so it has always been the housekeeper in the palace who is responsible for regular procurement. Since the beginning of last year. The palace internal affairs procurement list began to change, and every time I bought it, there would be some more special medicinal materials and magic potions that had not been available before, and it would not be surprising if it was just a single month. It could be that some magician is doing some kind of magical research. There is a temporary demand, but. Since the beginning of last year. A list for each month. There are a few more things, although the number of varieties occasionally changes. But a few of them are medicines. But it has always changed. ”

He flicked the piece of paper in his hand: "It's written on this paper." In the last few months, it has been in the list of procurement places. There are more varieties of new land than usual, and I didn't care about it originally. However, according to the example, I still sent people to remote places in the south. I found a doctor to inquire and figured out the effects and effects of the local medicines on this list, and then I deduced it. Our Lord Regent......"

The old man's brows furrowed tightly and he sighed silently.

Camissiro took a look. But it was firmly in my heart. Turning around, he took the paper and walked to a candle in the house, and put the paper together. Burned to ashes.

He stood by the fire, and the flames shone on his face. The young face flickered: "Since you have said everything...... Well, you always have to give me a clear statement...... If, on that day, His Royal Highness is gone, and Duke Tulip has a quarrel with the royal family again, I, what should I do!"

The old man closed his eyes: "I'm afraid I won't survive this chūn day...... I can't see the day you spoke, though. If there is a day, it will be said. You ......"

The door was closed, and there were two important ministers of the empire, one old and one young. No one heard the conversation in this room. And the night breeze outside gradually rose, blowing the treetops in the yard, making rustling movements, as if all the sounds of conversation in the house were covered up in this piece of night......

Nine hundred and sixty-six years of empire. The last day of March.

The eastern fortress of the Kaspersky Line.

The south bank of the excavated artificial canal. Originally, in the winter. A number of temporary barracks were built on the banks of the river. These are the river workers who have been mobilized by supply. There are also several infantry regiments where soldiers are stationed during the winter. In order to ensure that the river does not freeze in winter, these manpower are prepared. Originally, the ice was chiseled in the winter.

As a result, this warm winter has made these preparations useless. When the chūn land was opened, the river workers and troops stationed on the riverside were transferred back. And in those temporary barracks, there are also a large number of subway chisels that have been prepared. Shovel. Iron hoes and other tools were never returned.

Not far to the south. It's the Eastern Fortress, which is slightly smaller than the Central Stronghold. However, it can also be called a rare big city on the mainland, this fortress is stationed in the emperor [**] team of six divisions, and the storm army of three divisions is the main force. In addition, there are about 60,000 local river workers and people, as well as logistics baggage troops.

On the east side of the fortress, a gap was opened in the wall. A high water tower was built. Below, there is a 50-meter-wide diversion canal that leads to the canal. This makes it possible for the river to transport the convoy on the ground, which can transport the materials directly to the city.

After this opening, the weather became warmer day by day. Because there is a large river here as a natural barrier, there are also Imperial naval warships patrolling the river, and there is a small fleet of warships stationed here under the Dishui Walled City on the east side of the fortress. Therefore, the Scout Cavalry of the Empire still went out of the city every day to patrol and patrol back and forth along the south bank of the canal.

From this point of view, the situation of the eastern defense line is much easier than that of the main central fortress.

Although there were underwater attacks on the convoy by those savage racial enemies last year, after a few such attacks took place, they never appeared again, and then the transport flotilla tightened its guards, and this tense atmosphere lasted for half a year. But there has never been a new situation. Eventually, I gradually relaxed.

In the morning of the day. A hundred-man cavalry marched out of the north gate of the fortress, first rounding the northern end of the fortress, and then splitting into two groups and walking along the south bank of the canal. All the way to the left. Go all the way to the right to patrol.

These are the jīng sharp cavalry of the Storm Legion. Wearing thick armor, he carried a one-handed cross-slashing sword on his back, and a cavalry spear hanging on his horse.

Because of the warmer weather, the water flow on the big river is slow. The morning sun shone on the river. The calm water of the river was dyed with a faint golden halo.

The cavalry was quite relaxed, and the eastern ground defense line. There has been no major fighting since the beginning of the war. Those savage enemies must also know that the river is impassable. So I haven't heard of the attack here. After opening chūn. The central part of the country is mainly plugged. After two more fierce battles, I heard that even magicians were dispatched, and a new saint-level powerhouse appeared in the empire to help in the battle.

The cavalry was led by the captain. Ride your horse slowly, looking at the north shore from time to time. Usually, the north shore will occasionally be seen encountering some opposing wolf cavalry patrols. It's just that across a big river, those wolf cavalry can't come over. At most, the two sides looked at each other across the river for a while. And then leave there.

Today's squad of cavalry went out of the city. After walking for less than a meal, he suddenly saw the captain of the cavalry in front of him raise his hand. The team immediately stopped.

The cavalry captain turned his head and looked a little ugly: "Listen!"

The horsemen stopped their horses. Sure enough, I heard a faint sound of "Boom! Boom!" from the north. Ground sound!

The sound seemed to be still far away. But gradually, gradually, it came closer.

And look at the riverside around you. The surface of the river seems to be in the sound, and the water surface is slight. And rhythmically a shock, a shock......

The cavalry captain immediately took out his binoculars. Looking towards the north shore, after only one glance, his body immediately shook, and his face suddenly changed!

In the barrel of a small telescope. Picture: On the vast wilderness north of the river, the sky is full from a distance. Boundlessly. One by one, like ants. The black pressure pressed the local array, densely packed. The head is moving. Swords and guns are like a black sè steel forest!

Thousands of feet trampled on the earth, with a neat rhythm! The sound of neat footsteps, like thunder, struck on the hearts of men, and in the march of the phalanx. The clanging sound of the armor colliding turned into a piece. It's like a chilling note...
