"We are the heralds of the Praetorian Guard, and in the name of the king, we order you to stop. ”

A clear and loud shout rang out from behind the crowd.

Just from the voice, you can tell that the other party is a professional herald, with a loud and high-pitched voice and clear words.

It takes at least five or six years of kung fu to practice this voice.

At this time, the common people were excited, screaming, and seeing that they were about to rush forward to cripple De Rossi and the Marquis of Goyle, they suddenly heard the name of the "Praetorian Guard" behind them, and they were all startled.

Although they were extremely angry, they did not plan to carry out the very beneficial activity of rebellion, after all, everyone did not have any weapons of mass murder now, and they were not fully prepared. And there is no support from old hooligans like Mi Guo in the back. And opposite them was the 1258th chapter of the army that was armed to the teeth.

Although it looks cool to rob things and money and women, compared to his own head, the precious Cheng dù is far inferior.

Therefore, they all stopped their hands with great wisdom and turned their heads to look in the direction from which the voice came. I'm going to make a decision.

If those janissaries aren't too many, or don't seem to be too strong, you'll have to think of a way to boil them too.

Of course, if the guards are powerful, then it is good to endure it for the time being.

I saw that behind the crowd, a team of knights was standing with cold eyes, mighty.

They were dressed in beautiful Praetorian Guard armor, polished and shiny, with intricate patterns printed on them.

The knights sat on their horses with their heads full of towering red helmets, their backs straightened, and their swords inlaid with gold and silver at their waists.

As royal guards, these knights are all carefully selected from noble families, although their combat effectiveness is not necessarily too high, but their appearance is absolutely passable.

All of them are handsome and extraordinary. It is very much in line with the positive characters that the masses like to see in the novel.

One of the knights at the head also held a large flag in his hand, and in Chapter 1258, there was a blue flag hanging on the flag and waving in the wind, hunting and fluttering.

It is the flag of the Kingdom of Leiria~!

Seeing that the crowd was quiet, an officer with the most beautiful armor stepped forward.

He had a stern face. glanced at the Duke of De Rossi and the Marquis of Goyle, who were surrounded by the common people in the middle. A trace of disdain flashed in his eyes, and then he said loudly: "By the edict of His Majesty the King, summon the Duke of De Rossi and the Prince of De Rossi to go to Ryder City to meet him." ”

De Rossi frowned, narrowed his eyes, and looked over the crowd to stare at the Praetorian Guard.

The Praetorian Guard soldiers also looked at De Rossi without showing any weakness. There was no deference to the son of De Rossi at all.

The Praetorian Guard, who came on behalf of the king, had always been above the top, and had little interest in the local nobility.

Moreover, the reputation of De Rossi and his son in Leiria is not good, not to mention that in this mission, there is a big man standing behind them who does not deal with De Rossi.

Seeing the expressions of the Praetorian Guards, De Rossi's heart tightened, and he secretly said that it was not good.

The Marquis of Gower pulled the sleeve of the prince of Raderosi. He said in a low voice: "Big brother, the person who came is not good, what should I do?"

Son De Rossi's eyes twinkled. I couldn't think of anything I could do for a while.

At this time, a strange smile appeared on the corner of the Praetorian Guard's officer's mouth, looking at the dense crowd of ordinary people on the street, and muttered: "It seems that we are unlucky~!"

sighed in my heart: If I come a little late, I can see a son of De Rossi who has been beaten into a pig's head.

With this joke, it was enough for him to show off in front of the ladies and ladies of Ryde City for a month, and he made a few flattering eyes.

What a shame.

But now that I'm here, I can't watch him get beaten again.

The Praetorian Guard officer smacked his tongue regretfully, and then immediately bowed his body, and said in a flat voice: "Official business." If you forgive the official, you won't get off the horse.

His Majesty the King has please, and I also ask Your Excellency to set off immediately. ”

The tone of his words was very yin and yang, but it was still polite. It's hard to find fault with it.

De Rossi saw their gloating eyes, and was so angry that he scolded himself in his heart, but in the end, he could only hold back his anger and snort coldly. said: "This general, you also saw it, I can't leave in front of me." ”

Someone in the crowd immediately shouted angrily, "You can't let him go." He owes us millions, and that's all our hard-earned money, and we can't let him go. ”

"He ran away, and we asked for money. ”

"That's it, we all have to hang ourselves if we don't have money, you say it easily. ”

"Can't let him go. ”

"I can't let him go~!"

"No, we don't promise...... All of a sudden, everyone erupted, and they all pointed the finger at the Praetorian Guards who were preparing to take De Rossi away. Some even secretly picked up the slabs and stones that had just been dropped from the ground, intending to give them a taste of the cold for these handsome lads.

Prince De Rossi was originally angry with these dead people, but at this moment, he suddenly found that this group of debtors was also very cute.

He shrugged his shoulders gracefully at the Praetorian Guard officer, then spread his hands and said, "It's not that I don't want to go, it's that they won't let me go." ”

He clearly knew that since the Praetorian Guards came, he must have a big deal on it~!

In order to speculate in stocks, the matter of misappropriation of taxes by himself must have been issued.

Here, these creditors are just asking for money.

When he arrived in Ryde, the king asked Duke De Rossi about the two million taxes he had embezzled, and the punishment would not be light. House arrest or even deprivation of knighthood is possible.

The old king may have remembered his brotherhood with the Duke of De Rossi, and his men were merciful.

However, the crown prince Matthias has always been disgusted with the prince of De Rossi and his father, especially the Duke of De Rossi, who once coveted the right to inherit the throne.

If anything else is easy to say, but it is related to royal power, then everyone is the only one who lives and dies.

When the time comes, he will definitely fall into the well and hit them hard.

Ryde City is a Hongmen feast, and it is naturally best not to go if you can.

The officer sneered, his eyes instantly turned cold, and he looked condescendingly at Prince De Rossi. It looks like it's in the chest.

Prince De Rossi secretly screamed in his heart: apparently he was prepared.

The Praetorian Guard officer said in a loud voice to the crowd that had gathered around: "Folks, folks, please listen to me. ”

The noisy crowd immediately fell silent, their eyes wide as they stared at the Praetorian Guards. See what they can say.

The officer said loudly: "Fellow villagers, your majesty has already known all your demands. Before I come, His Majesty asked me to bring you a message.

De Rossi owes you money, and His Majesty promises that you can get it back, whether it is a house or a demolition. It's also good to sell land. His Majesty will not let his people suffer~!"

Everyone looked at each other and was silent for a moment.

"Long live Your Majesty~!" suddenly someone shouted excitedly.

The crowd swept away the gloom in their hearts, jumped up happily, and shouted at the same time, "Long live His Majesty the King~!"

"Hooray~!"

King Leiria, who was well loved at home and known as a well-known monarch, was recognized as a responsible and benevolent monarch. Now that the king has spoken, he will help them get the money back, and these people have a bottom in their hearts.

At least it's more useful than trapping a penniless De Rossi here.

Who knows if the old man of Duke De Rossi will feel sorry for his son and take money to ransom him, and it is very likely that the Duke of De Rossi will still be there and ignore it.

Anyway, they can't get the money, they don't dare to do anything to the son of De Rossi, who is a big nobleman.

But the king took care of the matter, and the nature changed at once.

De Rossi was shocked. Secret Dao: To suffer~!

The Praetorian Guard officer looked directly at De Rossi on horseback and said, "Please, Prince De Rossi." We're going to Duke De Rossi. ”

De Rossi and Goyle looked at each other, and couldn't think of anything in their hearts, so they could only angrily insert their sabers back into their scabbards, slap the hilt of their swords fiercely, and walked straight to the crowd, scolding: "Get out of the way." ”

The people glanced at each other, and then, with a look of great reluctance, automatically split into two halves, leaving a narrow passage in the middle.

De Rossi snorted and walked through the crowd with his head held high. I didn't care about the hateful eyes projected by the people on both sides.

The Praetorian Guard officer also sighed in his heart, but De Rossi's courage was not bad. Sure enough, he is a lawless and arrogant character.

Just as De Rossi and Goyle were about to step out of the crowd, they didn't know who was secretly stretching their feet underneath.

De Rossi stumbled just in time, his steps were confused, and he fell forward in a panic.

The Marquis of Gower has a quick eye. Immediately grabbed De Rossi's collar, and the son of De Rossi did not make a fool of himself.

There was immediately a burst of laughter from the crowd, and even the Praetorian Guards couldn't help but laugh and sit back and watch the jokes of this big man who once called for wind and rain.

The Praetorian Guards knew in their hearts that the era of the unscrupulous De Rossi father and son was coming to an end, and they were waiting to spend the rest of their lives in a small courtyard in Ryder City.

Son De Rossi turned his head angrily and glared at the crowd behind him, trying to find out if it was the one who didn't open his eyes and dared to plot against his son-in-law.

The crowd behind him all looked up at the sky at forty-five degrees, whistling in their mouths, and their hands behind their backs, each more innocent than the other.

"Please. "The Praetorian Guard officer pointed

De Rossi and Goyle rolled over and jumped on their horses, pulling the reins to turn the docks.

The officer whistled, and the Praetorian Guards behind him immediately dispersed, encircling the De Rossi sons in the center.

"What do you mean?" said Son De Rossi, angrily pointing at the officer.

The officer shrugged his shoulders and said, "Your Majesty, I heard that the personal safety of the prince has been threatened, and we have no other intention to arrange it this way, just to protect the safety of the prince." ”

He saw that De Rossi seemed to have something to say, but he ignored it at all, and continued with a straight face: "By the way, we still need to find the Duke. It's not safe to keep in hiding.

There has to be an end to this. He can't hide for the rest of his life, can he?"

A cold light flashed in De Rossi's eyes, and he said in a deep voice, "What do you mean?"

The officer smiled and said, "It's simple. If you know the whereabouts of the Duke, it would be best to help us find out. ”

De Rossi was furious, and pointed his finger at the officer like a halberd.

The officer didn't care at all, but pressed his sword with his hand, and his face seemed to be smiling.

The light in De Rossi's eyes changed a few times, and finally he snorted and said coldly: "You'd better not regret it~!"

After speaking, he grabbed the horse's belly and galloped towards the outside of the city.

De Rossi led the city guards all the way, and it took two hours to reach a farm dozens of miles from the city.

From the outside, it looks unobtrusive, just like all ordinary farmsteads.

In the center is the landlord's two-entry house, surrounded by a messy array of simple peasant huts.

The Duke of De Rossi is hiding here, but it is not at all conspicuous.

Prince De Rossi went straight to the mansion in the village, turned over the saddle and dismounted. Without looking back, he walked in and said, "You are waiting here." ”

Behind him came the sound of dismounting and armor colliding.

The Praetorian Guards chased after him from behind, and the officer put his hand on the brim of his hat and said officially: "Our duty is to 'protect' you, Prince." ”

De Rossi gritted his teeth. He stomped his foot angrily and said, "If you want to come, follow it." ”

There were more than a dozen armed guards hiding in the courtyard, and they had already heard the movement outside the door, and they didn't take it seriously when they saw that De Rossi was also there.

The Praetorian Guards surrounded the left and right of the Lady De Rossi and broke in, and without waiting for the officer's orders, the soldiers swarmed up and immediately disarmed the guards in the courtyard. While they were still stunned, they were pushed aside.

De Rossi and the officer came to the door, and through the door they heard the coquettish laughter of women coming from inside.

"Do you want to go in with you?" De Rossi glanced at the officer obliquely.

"Uh......" The officer was stunned for a moment, obviously Duke De Rossi would be very busy, he just had to reluctantly put on a gesture of invitation, and he stayed outside the door.

Anyway, his subordinates have already surrounded this place, and they are not afraid that old guy will escape.

Son De Rossi pushed the door open and stepped inside. Then the door was slammed shut.

At this moment, the officer saw an old man with a thick beard in the room, and a shirtless man sitting on his lap. A young woman with high sideburns and bursting breasts.

The old man has a five-point resemblance to De Rossi, who is none other than the Duke of De Rossi.

The Duke of De Rossi walked into the room with a gloomy face, and the Duke looked at his son in surprise and said, "Why did you come back?"

Prince De Rossi waved his hand at the impatient woman and said, "Go out, don't let anyone in." ”

The young woman jumped up in fright and ran out in a panic.

The duke said dissatisfiedly: "What's wrong with you?"

"What's the matter?" De Rossi glanced at his father and said, "On the neck of the knife holder, the time of death is approaching." ”

The Duke jumped up in fright. Panicked: "How come?"

De Rossi sat down in his chair and said, "The man sent by the king to arrest us is just outside the door, and you say, what will he do with us?"

The duke shook his hand in a panic, circled around the place, and said in a panic: "Big brother sent someone?"

What can I do?"

De Rossi was angry when he saw his father's panicked appearance. shouted: "Calm down~!"

The Duke paused and looked at his son dumbfoundedly.

De Rossi took a deep breath and said slowly: "We won't end well if we go, for today's plan, we can only take a risk, let's start in advance~!"

"But," said the duke, hesitantly, "isn't it early?"

De Rossi followed the temptation and said: "If you don't do it, you will die, and if you do it, you may live, as long as you succeed, father, you will be the king." ”

"The king......" the Duke muttered, a greedy glint in his eyes.

De Rossi affirmed: "King~!

As long as my father becomes the king of Leiria, no one will dare to ask us for an account. Every qiē in this country is your father. ”

The duke hesitated, "Can you guarantee success?"

De Rossi nodded vigorously and said, "It will definitely succeed, you forgot, we have a few mages with unfathomable strength, and they alone are enough." ”

The Duke was still a little hesitant.

De Rossi angrily dragged the Duke to the window, and he snatched the vinegar and snatched the vinegar and the buttocks.

The duke's face changed, he gritted his teeth, and said, "It's done~!Go and invite them and come with us." ”

De Rossi smiled triumphantly and said with satisfaction: "I have already gone to invite someone." ”

The Praetorian Guard officer waited outside the door for a long time, ran for most of the day, and was also hungry at the moment, his face became more and more ugly, and he cursed: The person who is about to fall is still such a big shelf.

If he hadn't heard the sound of impotence talking, he would have been impatient to rush in and grab someone and drag him away.

Just as he was impatiently pacing back and forth outside the door, the door opened with a whirl, and Mr. De Rossi said, "My father agrees to go with you, but it will take a day to prepare." ”

The officer pouted helplessly and said, "Okay." ”

The king's order was to invite De Rossi and his son, but not to arrest De Rossi, and he didn't dare to be too presumptuous, after all, it was the king's own brother.

It was getting late to-day, and it was not suitable for haste, so the officer immediately ordered to camp there.

That night, the duke's large service team also felt the small village.

Looking at the dozens of carriages in front and back, the team of hundreds of servants and servants, and the various utensils they carried, it was an eye-opener for the Praetorian Guard soldiers.

I have long heard that Duke De Rossi is arrogant and lascivious, and he is a must in the Kingdom of Leiria, and today I see that it is indeed worthy of his reputation.

There is a whole class of people who carry the toilet alone.

The next day, the mighty procession set out from the small village and set out on the continent to Ryde, the capital of Leiria.

The residents of the small village and the people in the vicinity who had received the news all came up to watch.

Everyone looked at Duke De Rossi's six-wheeled luxury RV, and secretly prayed in their hearts: this old guy who lacks virtue and smokes will never come back.

The Duke's team was too large for a Praetorian Guard to take care of, and they could only keep an eye on their target, the De Rossi father and son.

As for the others, they don't care.

New carriages were constantly being added along the way, and new servants and guards were added to Duke De Rossi's ranks.

The whole line stretched out for miles across the continent.

At the same time, a female reporter from the magazine "Ne Economic Observer" held a work card and led several people into the office of the Flying Eagle Group in the Kingdom of Leiria.

July 12, showers.
