Chapter 445 [Second Entry into the Imperial Capital]

After another two or three days of camping outside the city, there was finally a new movement in the city of Osgilia.

First of all, the royal family sent a team of labor troops led by an earl nobleman, who was probably a confidant of the royal family, and in addition to a few nobles, there were also two deputies of the imperial finance minister, as well as an envoy sent by the prime minister.

Speaking of which, the city of Osgilia was already in short supply, and after more than half a year of fighting, most of it relied on supplies from the Lantis at sea.

But after all, Char's army went south to King Qin, no matter what aspect it was, "The central government of the empire must express a gesture of consolation, otherwise, if people come south to King Qin, and the army is stationed outside the city, the emperor will not say anything at all, and it will be too cheap to spread it."

There are not many things, and the city is already tight, and I heard that even the emperor himself has shrunk his clothes and diet. The so-called labor army is just a passing scene, and it is just a procedure that should be used.

These people sent to the labor army were all drawn from the city guards, and I heard that for the sake of the imperial family, the emperor specially assigned a small group of imperial guards to accompany him. However, when this team of labor troops came to Char's army station, it still shocked Char's entire army.

-- This is the most elite Imperial Capital City Guard in the Empire? This is the Imperial Forest Army, which is known as the best-equipped and highest-paid? It's just a bunch of beggars!

The Imperial Forest Army can barely guarantee a full set of weapons and equipment, and those city guards are much more miserable, most of them are even a complete set of armor is difficult to assemble, and the weapons are also very mixed, many people use swords that are not the standard of the city guards, and it seems that there are quite a lot of weapons used by people, which seem to have been captured from the rebels.

As for the supplies sent, it is even more insufficient. There is not much food, and the emperor now hears that he only eats a few pieces of bread at each meal. However, there are still some rewards for some gold and silver utensils, and it is said that the emperor also moved out of some old reserves in the inner treasury of the palace.

But such a thing, if it is distributed to everyone in the whole army, it is really unseemly.

Therefore, even the Earl, who was in charge of the labor army, seemed to have some faces, and when did the empire become poor like this!

However, Kia was very polite, and pulled the earl to talk affectionately for a long time, and everyone had a lively and full meal, and when Char was pitiful, Char also quietly stuffed a box and sent it to the earl's carriage.

The box contained some good things that Char had picked out from the trophies he had captured from the large number of rebel prisoners of war.

Those rebels have been entrenched in the imperial capital for many days, but they really robbed a lot of good things, but unfortunately in the first few battles, the rebels were defeated, and after the things were captured, they all cheapened our turtle lord.

Char specially sent people to select some "fine products" among the loot and property, and those rebels robbed a lot of nobles and wealthy families in the imperial capital, and really got some treasures, Char selected all the high-quality goods and kept them for important use.

The box given to the Earl, who was a laborer, contained a vase of great value, bronze vessels of the finest order, and a jewel inlaid with precious stones, and a work of art of great value! However, the Earl of the Labor Army, on the way back, opened the box and saw the vase, and immediately sighed in his heart.

This labor army ...... What a result!

The things of the labor army that I brought with me!$, all of them are added together, but I am afraid that the value is not worth such a vase! Alas, the empire is so weak, and it is really no taste for me to be a labor army envoy, but it makes those rednecks from the north laugh shamefully behind their backs.

This earl received Char's generous gift, and after returning to the city, he would naturally say a few more good words about Char, so there was no need to say it.

Lao Jun is just a cutscene, this cutscene is over, and below, it's the real reward!

Char waited patiently for another two days, originally thinking that the official appointment order should come down soon, but who knows, this wait, actually waited for another three days!

What the hell was the emperor thinking? Things are already like this, and he still doesn't happily order a reward, what are you trying to do?

However, Char was annoyed, but he couldn't bear to imagine on behalf of the Garcia Emperor, but he was afraid that the other party was really depressed and angry...... The dignified emperor of the empire, but he was forced by a local general in the north to reward the land and seal it wantonly, obviously killing the other party in his heart...... But I can only pinch my nose and endure it.

The emperor's refusal to formally give the order was probably the last bit of grievance in his heart.

Char waited patiently until the fifth death, and the official imperial decree finally came down!!

This time, the person in charge of the order is still the earl who came to the labor army before, this earl received a generous gift from Char last time, and this time he came again, and his attitude towards Char is naturally more affectionate.

Pity them, the nobles of the imperial capital, if in the past, such a precious vase, although it was also a valuable thing, would it be placed in the eyes of a dignified earl? But this time the city of Osgilia was destroyed, and most of the nobles' homes and mansions were poisoned, and almost all the family funds were tossed away by those rebels, which was a great ruin.

I heard that many aristocratic lords can still hold on when they are fighting, but after driving out the rebels and bringing people back to their homes to take a look, they will pull out their knives and wipe their necks on the spot...... Many aristocrats are even on the verge of bankruptcy!

This earl, I heard that he is still a distant relative of the royal family, at this moment when the talents of the imperial royalist aristocratic group are withering, he is a former marginal figure, and he has won the trust and appreciation of the emperor at once, and he has chosen such a person to work here or convey the imperial decree when he comes to Char twice, which is enough to show that this guy is now very important.

To Char's surprise, there was also a deputy envoy who came to issue the imperial decree this time, but it was his old acquaintance!

Seeing that Shao's bloated and huge body was so eye-catching in the crowd of the mission, Char laughed in surprise and said, "Haha! I miss you!"

As he spoke, he strode up, opened his arms, and hugged the other man heavily.

Ruhl grinned, he still had injuries on his body, and he was not healed. You still want me to die! Lightly, my old arms and legs are a little not very bright. Char let go of Ruhr, took two steps back, and stared carefully at the fat man up and down

After measuring it for a while, his eyes gradually became warmer. Speaking of which, when it comes to the many generals in the army of the Byzantine Empire, Char's personal relationship with this fat man is the best. not

He is really two guys, one big and one small, one seems to be honest and fat, the other seems to be bold and straightforward, but in fact, he is two foxes, one big and one small, who seem harmless to humans and animals, but are actually full of belly

Among the generals of the Byzantine Emperor, Char respects Adrick the most, but the one who has the closest relationship is this fat man. Ade

Rick is Char's old boss, and he has single-handedly cultivated Fuya, like a loving father of Master Yan. And this fat man is like an intimate friend. The two looked at each other a few times, and their faces were dewed

With a sincere smile, Char said, "Why did you send the order, but you were not sent?" Luer laughed dryly, lowered his voice and said, "It's almost noisy in the city, old."

The son was impatient to hear this, so he sought this messenger and simply hid himself from you, and went out of the city, out of sight, and quieter in his heart. Char listened and glanced at the fat man: "Did you quarrel?" Luer smiled and glared at Char: "It's not for you! Your 10,000 cavalry are lying outside the city, which makes many people feel uneasy!" Then the two entered

Go to the camp, the transmission of the imperial decree on the scene is naturally a passing scene, Char summoned the officers and generals in the army to listen to the earl read out the imperial decree in public, and then naturally

Eat and drink. Speaking of which, many of the cavalry in Char's hands were also Ruhl's old subordinates in the past, and the two sides were naturally very happy when they met this time. Everyone drank bitterly,

After drinking and drinking, Char and Luer came out of the tent one after another, walked around the camp at will, and came to a secluded place. Dumb looked at the fat man, and took out something from his arms and threw it

in the past. Ruhl took it, and his eyes lit up: "Tobacco, a good thing for the Zaku people!haha!" Char smiled, and after setting him on fire, he looked at the fat man with a cigarette in his hand

Kusamaki swallowed the clouds and spit out the fog, and smiled: "I guessed that you must like this thing, this time I came over and brought some, and I will leave them for you for a while." Ruhl squinted

, a face of enjoyment, leisurely said: &quo Zi is so blessed! The tobacco of the Zaku people is a rare commodity, and I heard that these tobacco leaves are all grown up by the girls of the Zaku tribe

The legs are rolled out one by one...... Hehe......" Seeing the fat man's squinting face, Xia Ya snorted, and then said, "What is the situation in the city now."

Tell me about it. When the fat man heard this, he smiled slightly, his face became a little strange, and he glared at Char heavily: "You little fox can't guess?" paused

Suddenly, he let out a long sigh: "Actually, what else can there be? It's just that everyone is not sure." Your ten thousand cavalry are placed outside the city, and your majesty and you are not of the same mind.

It's not surprising that I'm afraid of you. This time the war was torn. At this moment, there is such an army outside the city that is not the same as His Majesty's own heart, you let our Emperor Majesty

How can you sleep peacefully? But the subtlety is subtle, Your Majesty is jealous of you, but he refuses to let you go back immediately, and at the same time he is suspicious of you, but he needs your 10,000 cavalry to stay outside the city

Because as long as you are here, the Landis people will also be uneasy! Before you came, the situation in the city was that the Landis people were strong, and we were weak

The other party has no confidence in talking about anything. 8.n Now your 10,000 cavalry is swinging outside the city, no matter what, you are also fighting the banner of the Byzantine Empire, Lantis

Always see you as one of us. In the past two days since you came, when Lantis and we were talking, it was obvious that Shao's attitude was much more polite. Hey...... So, now the city

There is a lot of trouble, Your Majesty wants you to leave early, but he is reluctant to let you go, and he is entangled in his heart. Char listened and smiled noncommittally. Then he said, "Emperor."

The fat man spewed out a smoke screen from his nostrils and rolled his eyes: "Don't wait, you should take it."

You have all the benefits, and the emperor will not be able to make any more concessions, and there is no point in continuing to wait, so early tomorrow morning, you will go into the city to ask for a meeting. I think the emperor is right to you

attitude, at least on the surface, will do a very good look. Even if it's for the Lantis people, he will pinch his nose and play a play with you. Char ordered

Nodding: "So, I'll be in the city tomorrow?" Let's go into town. The fat man smiled: "The imperial decree has been issued in a clear text, and things will not change anymore." Your Majesty now

I have to admit this fact, and I will never do anything like slapping myself in the face again, you can enter the city now, it is safe, and Your Majesty will not take any action against you.

You swaggered into the city to meet you, received a reward, took over the official position, and then the scenery was a prison, and you can go out of the city and return north with your army. After a pause, the fat man thought for a moment

Suo, said: "Char, you enter the city this time, I will make a deal with you, our little emperor, although he is not quite right with you in his heart, but after all, he is not very old, speaking of which, hands."

Duan is far less sophisticated than the previous emperor. You don't have to be too scared...... But our prime minister, Lord Salingbonelli, is a powerful character!

In other words, it is an important banner left by the emperor to restrain the military power, no matter what the reason, the prime minister will desperately want to restrain you and suppress you, so you have to do it

Good preparation for this old fellow. When Char heard this, he laughed twice: "My duke's title reward is from the hand of this prime minister." "Lu

You also smiled, but just patted Char's shoulder and made a comforting expression. Speaking of which, for the headache knighthood reward, the fat man didn't do much of it

Law. The next day, Char led people into the city. At this point, the big picture is decided. The imperial decree has been clearly issued, so Char doesn't have to worry about the emperor attacking him again

He generously left his army outside the city, and brought only a few officers and a dozen guards with him, and then accompanied the officers on the Besta side, headed by the general I$L wife Monica

Together, they went into the city to meet the emperor. Entering the city is already by way of the Arc de Triomphe. This is the most majestic and huge gate of Osgilia, a marvelous huge building, Char has never arrived

I had already seen it once in the imperial capital, and this time I looked at it again, and the huge city gate and city walls were covered with traces of war

The walls of the city were littered with dense traces of damage, stones from catapults, rockets, and the color of blood remaining...... The ground is also full of potholes, making it difficult for cars and horses to travel.

Especially when crossing the bridge before entering the city, there was a strange rancid smell in the air, "The governor's wife beside her couldn't help but frown along her nose, Char was stunned at first, and then understood that this was the smell of corpses!"

Osgilia fought the war for half a year, and when he returned to the big river outside the city, he didn't know how many corpses had sunk! The river that used to be clear and beautiful had already turned into a black water full of the smell of death! The work of cleaning up the river after the war was afraid that it would give the people in the city a headache for a long time.

Entering the city, the scene in front of him made Char couldn't help but breathe cold air again and again!

The great, magnificent, noisy, and vibrant city of the past has changed into what it looks like in front of you?!

As far as the eye can see, there are ruins everywhere, and most of the houses and buildings near the city walls have been demolished, some of them have been demolished to enrich the city's defenses, and some have been destroyed in street battles! The streets of the city, one by one the lively streets of the past, have long been completely destroyed! All the way through, there are traces of burning and looting everywhere, and there are hardly any pedestrians on the road, most of them are people hiding in the ruins of the broken houses on both sides, and a beam of awe and fear is shooting out of the windows.

Large swaths of the stumbling area were burned and demolished, and even along the way, you could see people who had been requisitioned, their faces covered with black cloths, running back and forth in the blocks, doing clean-up work, and carrying out the corpses that had fallen everywhere one by one......

Fortunately, it is still winter at this moment, the weather is cold, if you don't clean it up quickly, in a few months, the weather will be hot, and the abandoned city after the war will cause disease!

Coming away, in addition to the ruins, what made Char feel the most was the eyes of those Osgilians!

The last time Char came to the imperial capital, the biggest feeling here was the pride of the Osgillians! As the people of the imperial capital, the Osgillians lived in this largest city, known as the greatest miracle city of mankind, and the most prosperous and lively imperial capital.

But now it seems that those people who are responsible for cleaning up the corpses, and the figures that occasionally flash from the corner of the street, the eyes of these people, in addition to fear and fear, the most is a kind of numbness!

(The city...... It's dead. Char sighed in her heart. ))!

Char did not immediately enter the palace to meet the emperor - this is the rule of Byzantium, Char, as a local general, entered Beijing to meet him, and he himself did not have the right to go directly to the palace to meet His Majesty!

When a foreign general enters Beijing, according to the rules, he will go to the military headquarters to report and then wait at the arranged accommodation! Wait for the emperor to be free, and then send someone to summon you, and you will be qualified to accept His Majesty's press meeting!

This is a rule, and it is also a practice that embodies the emperor's authority

Before entering the city, Luhr had spoken to Char in advance, and this time when he entered the city, the emperor had already hinted to Luhr that everything had to be done according to the rules! Just to let Char show his respect for the imperial power.

Char naturally won't refuse this request - anyway, he won't lose anything, it's just a loss of face for the emperor.

Besides, now that his identity is different, there is the elite cavalry outside the city there, and he has entered the city ten times, but he is afraid that the whole city is up and down, I don't know how many pairs of eyes are secretly staring at him!

Especially those Lantis!

At this time, he has to take care of the overall situation, even if he is acting for the people of Landis, he must show a gesture of respecting the imperial power to explain it one by one, which is also Adric's request!

When he went to the military headquarters to report to the military department, he naturally ran away in person, and his subordinates had already gone to handle it, and he himself was looking for a place in the city to live and wait for a while.

According to the management, the foreign generals will enter the imperial capital and wait for the emperor to summon them, and they will have to wait for a while! This time can be long or short. If the emperor is in a good mood, or if he is not too busy, maybe he will be scheduled to see you in ten days and half a month. If the emperor is in a bad mood, or is too busy to forget about you...... I'm afraid to wait for a month or two!

For example, the last time Char entered the imperial capital to meet the emperor, it was the emperor who asked him to come to the imperial capital to receive him by name, and in this way, Char waited for many days to receive him when he arrived in the imperial capital last time!

But now his identity is naturally different, since he has given enough face to Emperor Garcia, went to the military department to report, honestly waited for the summons, and put on a posture of respecting the imperial power, Garcia naturally didn't dare to really take it too seriously, who doesn't know, our Uncle Char's temper "But it's a donkey!"

If you do things on the road, Emperor Garcia will naturally not make it difficult for you.

In Ruhl's opinion, after going through this formality, he would wait in the city for a day at most, and the emperor would order a summons.

Char's residence is a slightly more complete mansion selected in the city, I heard that it is the inheritance of a certain nobleman, that nobleman in this war, dozens of his family were slaughtered by the rebels, but this house was valued by a leader of the rebels, as his own stronghold, so it was well preserved.

It stands to reason that this kind of house, full of ghosts, is not suitable for a foreign minister like Char who came to Beijing to live, it is too unruly...... But at this moment, in the city's residences, which family does not have a few unjust souls?

And Fuya doesn't care much about this kind of ghostly thing.

In his words: "Lao Tzu marches and fights, killing people like numbness! His face is murderous, and his body is full of majesty! Even if there is a ghost, it is still running away from Lao Tzu!"

He swaggered into this house with his entourage, and was ready to close it in peace

The door waited.

Unexpectedly, before it was dark, someone came to the door.

What came to be placed was a young civil official dressed in the robes of an imperial official, who looked very clean, and when he came to see Char, his expression was also very calm and calm, even virtuous, and there was a reserved and arrogant taste.

Seeing that when Char spoke, his tone was also light. "General Char, please come over and meet with you. Char looked at the person who came to the door: "Which one of you adults?--The other party smiled faintly and smiled very calmly: "Lord Salembonili, the current prime minister."
