，

As night fell, the lights came on. On both sides of the street, passers-by are hurrying home, the warm spring breeze drifts leisurely, the air is filled with the smell of fat powder and fine wine, the drunken dreams of Ruman City, and the luxurious nightlife is about to open.

Lorraine sat in the carriage, carefully reflecting on her conversation with Russell.

Before out. Lorraine had imagined an almost unilateral scenario, and Russell might have moved to make sense of it. To fool Lorraine with national righteousness or something, he may coerce and lure Lorraine by all means. may take the initiative to show favor to Lorraine and sell Lorraine a bargain to resolve the conflict with Catherine's family.

But Lorraine had never thought of such a great thing.

In these days. Lorraine, along with Catherine, Adele, and Lorina, also regularly discussed her appointment.

Although he has some military exploits, he has some literary talents, and he wrote, "Okay, I copied a military book called "On War." But these things are all floating clouds in front of the vast, slow-moving bureaucracy of the Imperial Government apparatus

There are some combat exploits, but they are from the Maple Leaf Danlin Academy. The Imperial Government may not necessarily admit it.

What if there is literary talent? Those who drive a good car are not necessarily good people, and those who have literary talents do not necessarily know how to govern the country. Otherwise, Li Bai can justifiably play Li Ji's management buyout. On the contrary, those literary guys can top several of them when they lose their families.

Who is the principal of the Whampoa Military Academy, and he is rich enough in military theory, right?

This is an incomparably correct analogy, even Lord Lorraine himself felt a little discouraged, plus he was too young, and he had just graduated.

Even if he dies shamelessly, he promotes himself all over the world." Someone. The future emperor is still his brother-in-law, but who cares? Back then, Grand Duke Julian still started from the grassroots level, and only then did he climb up step by step.

Moreover, the senior commanders of the empire, the commanders of all walks of life, are all a turnip and a pit. Where can I give him another one?

Hence it. Even the most optimistic estimates that the empire can give him. At most, it is also a deputy position such as the deputy commander of a military division, and it has to be in charge of the maintenance and construction of the camp and the placement of recruits. Then stay up for a few years of qualifications, and wait for those bigwigs to boil a few braids, and then fill in the vacancies.

No one thought about the position of governor or commander of a military division.

Now, a governor's hat has fallen from the sky, and Lorraine himself is unbelievable to put it on Lorraine's head.

He had always believed in the old saying of a Mexican farmer that a priest was more difficult to deal with than a donkey. Because of the donkey, you only have to hold the donkey. But priest, you don't know where he's going to hold your sass.

Cardinal Saxel was still the head of the clergy, and he was chosen from a large group of vicious clergy, so it is clear how bad this old fellow will be.

Don't look at the two good words that the minister said, it seems that he gave himself a big cake, who knows if this big cake is poisonous?

What kind of person is Lord Lorraine, he usually pours people soup, and then knocks on the stick. Now that Lord Xiang says two good words, he wants to let him off his guard?

In the eyes of the lord, that Lord Xiang is a bastard plus a third-level, son of a bitch.

If he is willing to give someone who has real power, and the oil and water are abundant, the place is peaceful, and he doesn't have to do anything usually. Even if he crosses his feet, flirts with beauty, plays with his heart and liver baby, two bees, and lives like a governor like a fairy, then the lord's favorability towards him has also increased. For the evaluation of the Xiangda, that is, a son of a bitch with some conscience.

It was given to a governor for nothing, and Lorraine always felt that there was some kind of conspiracy in it. Anyway, I don't think that old guy would be so kind.

Viscount Friedrich didn't stop talking along the way, and Lorraine just coped with it.

Returning to the Grand Duke's mansion, Lorraine said goodbye to Viscount Friedrich. Hurried into the mansion to find Catherine and Adele.

Catherine and Adele were also relieved, and they were all waiting for Lorraine in the living room. Lorena was also here, and the girls were frowning and waiting for Lorraine to return.

Leo and Melina, with their heads together, kept muttering, not knowing what the two of them were talking about.

Seeing Lorraine walk in, Catherine and Adele hurriedly greeted her, pulled Lorraine left and right, and asked anxiously, "What is Russell looking for you?"

Leo glanced up at this time, and then waved the fan he had just made in his hand, showing a very bright and very godlike appearance, and said loudly: "Did I just say it, there will be nothing wrong, you see that this is not a good return, and I have not seen missing arms and legs." ”

Catherine was so anxious that she didn't bother to pay attention to him, and immediately shouted angrily: "Shut up! No one takes you for a dumb person. ”

Leo immediately shrank his neck in fright and stopped talking.

But in order to show that Grandpa Ben is loyal and fearless in the face of power, he rolled his eyes. "Haha" loudly. Laughed twice. Then two fat white arms were folded in front of his chest, and he raised his nose and looked at Cather defiantly.

Catherine saw it, and was angry at the moment, but she just said that he was not allowed to talk nonsense, he

"Haha. cachinnation

She glared at Leo hatefully, and was about to clean up the itchy ruffian.

At this moment, Lorraine reached out and patted the shoulders of the two girls at the same time. Then he glanced at Schilla, who was sitting not far away, signaling that they didn't need to hurry, and then said, "It's okay, I just talked to Russell in the office for a while." ”

"What is he going to say?" asked Catherine, who immediately raised her eyebrows and asked nervously.

Lorraine took a deep breath first, looked at Catherine and Adele's nervous expressions, suddenly smiled, and then said: "Your Majesty wants to appoint me as the governor of Ness, Russell is informing me, and he also said that he wants me to discuss it with you." ”

Catherine was stunned for a moment, she and Adele glanced at each other, and at the same time saw the surprise in each other's eyes, and then said in unison. "What do you say? ”

Leo immediately pulled his ears, jumped up and said, "Cut, you people have donkey hair stuffed in their ears, my boss said that he is going to be the governor of Ness." ”

Under the shock. Catherine also didn't care about letting Leo be rude, and she didn't have the etiquette that the first family of the Ruman Empire should have, but together with Adele, she looked at Lorraine with concern.

Next to him, Rochena and Shilmelia also looked concerned, and they seemed to be about to come over at the same time, but they didn't have the cheekiness of the two people next to Lorraine, and they mustered up the courage a few times. But in the end, it stopped.

Lorraine looked at their incredulous expressions and nodded solemnly.

Catherine and Adele looked at each other.

Adele lowered her head and thought for a moment, then said hesitantly, "Russell won't pit you."

Catherine also nodded with Ajier.

Lorraine smiled. The heart said that it was really worthy of a family, and hearing the news was exactly the same as my original reaction.

He shook his head. said: "This, whether it is going to trap me, I don't know, and I'm worried about that, so I'll come back to discuss with you." ”

Lorena thought for a moment in the back, and then said, "Hey, hey, can you eat first, we can discuss it slowly after dinner." ”

Lorraine was stunned for a moment and said, "Haven't you eaten yet?"

But after saying that, they immediately understood that these people were so worried about themselves that they hadn't even eaten, and had been waiting here all the time.

Lorraine was moved for a moment, and then hurriedly changed his words. Said: "Let's start eating first, and then talk about it after dinner."

Leo used to be frizzy and picky eaters, so he was scolded by Catherine at the dinner table.

Today's dinner was different, Leo was surprised that no one paid attention to him, and even Catherine did not show himself the spinach on his plate in the pot behind him.

Except for Vera, who is still carefree and has a big appetite. Eat even more carelessly. Just scratched the food on the plate a few times, ate a few bites casually, pushed the plate aside, frowned and thought.

He immediately pointed at a few people and shouted at the table: "How can this be, you picky eaters, you are not good boys"

Catherine had been thinking intently, listening to his noise, and at the moment she perfunctorily said, "Uh-huh." Twice, then casually touched Leo's head, and said nothing.

Leo was frightened, he had never seen Catherine so gentle, abnormal is a demon, Catherine may have some terrifying backhand to clean him up.

Leo's face turned white.

He hurriedly lowered his head honestly, the knife and fork in his hand fluttered, and pulled his dinner clean, even the remaining soup was not left at all.

Still, I can't rest assured, and I clean a plate like a dog has licked it.

He saw that Catherine couldn't get the handle, and then he was relieved.

Leo looked up at Catherine and Adele, who were like Settler, then blinked his eyes and whispered to Lorraine, "Nicole and Dale, why are they so weird today?

Lorraine froze, and secretly blamed Catherine and the others in her heart for getting used to this child like this, and her mouth was dirty. How will you teach yourself in the future?

He paused. Then he said: "We're probably going to leave Jouman City." The two of them were where they wanted to go. Do you like Rumane City?"

Leo thought for a moment. said: "Generally, anyway, I have played all the places that should be played, but the snacks here are more delicious." ”

Catherine said, "That's nothing, it's a big deal that we'll hire a few cooks from Ruman City to live with us."

Leo rolled his eyes, then turned to Melina and asked, "Melina, can you come with us?"

Melina held her pink cheeks with her hand, thought seriously for a while, and then said, "I'm afraid not, I'm afraid not, I'll have to discuss it with Sister Schillelia first, and I need to go home and ask my father." ”

Leo sighed in disappointment and said, "Oh, that's right. ”

These two children are all out of high height, and they are usually held in the palm of their hands by everyone, and they have a common language. We had a lot of fun together. suddenly thought of separating, and was very reluctant at the moment.

Adele looked at the two of them, smiled at the moment, and then said: "Leo, why don't I accept Meilina as a disciple?" In this case, it should be easier to say, sister, I am a genius of demonic and martial arts double cultivation." ”

Melina's big blue eyes immediately lit up, and she said in surprise, "It's really possible."

Adele straightened her breasts and said proudly: "As long as that Schillea doesn't object."

She paused for a moment, then reached out and pinched the girl's pink cheeks, which were as delicate and pink as March peach blossoms, "Melina is so cute, she will be fascinated when she grows up." ”

Melina played her compliment, and the big eyes that smiled became crescent-shaped, revealing the lovely dimples on her face, and said sweetly, "Thank you, Sister Daer." ”

Luo Lina thought for a while, and then said: "If Meilina also becomes my apprentice, I will soon advance and become a ** teacher." ”

Adele smiled and said, "What." Is Lorraine also going to follow Lorraine to Ney to take office, so that the journey will not be lonely. You say, Lorraine?"

As he spoke, he flew over with a wink.

Luo Lina made a blank face and said, "Jia, I'm just afraid that Dai'er won't be able to teach students well, so you will come out." Except for grabbing a boyfriend with others, he has no other skills

Adele clumped the napkin in her hand and threw it at Lorina. At the same time, he took a sip of her and said, "Die, Lorina."

Lorraine watched Adele and Rollena laugh and make a fuss, turned her head to look at Vera, who was still eating with relish, and said, "Vera, if I really go to Ne to take office, you will return to Ye Danlin." Or follow me. ”

Vera kept the knife and fork in her hand, and said without raising her head: "I'll go there if the young master goes, and you can easily get the money with the young master." If I were the only one, I might be bullied again. ”

Lorena rolled her eyes at the moment, and said hatefully beside her, "Vera, you are really useless. Let's take off his skin and make it into a football. And then let the legendary Chinese men's football team go"

When Leo heard this, his eyes widened in shock, and he said, "Linna, you are too ruthless."

Lorena sneered, and then said, "You know how good I am, if you know, you have to be honest with me in the future, otherwise I will turn you into a frog, and then throw a pot of frog potatoes stewed in the pot."

Leo's face turned pale at the moment, and he shouted, "I, I don't" I'm not afraid of you

But at the same time, he shrank his neck and turned to hide behind Lorraine. With only one eye exposed, she looked at Lorena with her heart.

Lorina sneered twice at the moment.

Lorraine watched from the side, couldn't help but shrug her shoulders, and said secretly in her heart: If only Lorraine knew that it was in Vera's house. **Teachers are all given for nothing, I don't know what to think?

Vera also said aggrievedly at this time: "No, senior sister, I just became a ** teacher." I'll be bullied by their gang of villains when I go back

Lorena slapped her forehead, sighed and said, "I really have nothing to say to you." Just the way you are guts, you still follow this son for the rest of your life."

Vera was very inexplicable, she blinked her big blue eyes, with the innocence of a girl's natural stay, and said as a matter of course: "I just follow the young master for the rest of my life?"

Rollena was stunned, and she was completely out of temper at the moment.

When the men had finished their dinner, the attendants came in and cleaned up the table, served dessert and hot tea, and Lorraine and the others gathered around the table to formally discuss the appointment of the governor

Catherine had a map brought and spread out on the table. Lorraine climbed on it and looked carefully.

Catherine pointed to the map and said, "This is Nai'an, the southeast corner of the empire, on the east shore of the Madidom Sea, and the mansion is the city of Nayder.

Six hundred years ago, the area was a wild place. The immigrants of Jouman sailed by sea to the site of the present-day city of Nedel and established a city of immigrants. In the following hundreds of years, Nedel has been relying on the sea route to travel with the Ruman Empire, a hundred years ago, the official establishment of the province of Nai'an, Nai'an alone is simply an enclave, although the commercial trade of Nedel City is reached, but due to the limitation of transportation. The expansion of Nai An Province has been slow, that is, nearly 10,000 square miles around the plain of Naider City.

It wasn't until eighty years ago that the Ruman Empire's legions opened the road to Nedel by land. Captured the entire northern part of Nedel City. The area of Nyan province has expanded nearly tenfold at once. It's just starting to look decent.

So, to put it mildly, Nai An province is a real border savage province.

Lorraine listened to Catherine's introduction, and only then began to understand a little, remembering the situations she had seen in her previous life, she nodded and said: "In a border area like this, which has not been attached for a long time, the problem has always been the most complicated, right?"

Catherine nodded and said, "It's pretty much the same as you said, the northern region of Nai An is mountainous and jungle. There have never been human footprints here. There are a lot of elf and dwarf tribes in it.

In the area around Nedel City, there is a terrain of the plains, which is a gathering place for the Ruman Empire. It is also the main producer of grain.

To the south from the Nedel Plains, there is a dense primeval forest, and there are still some alien tribes in it. Further south is the savannah, where the Orcs are the territory, these uncivilized cannibals. They often invade north, raiding the jungle tribes. Not only robbing things, but also robbing people all the time. ”

"Huh?" Adele covered her mouth and exclaimed, "Are you going to rob someone to eat?"
