Red Blood Dragoon Chapter 117 Xiang Russell

Canglin listened to Adele's words. I couldn't help but sink in my heart. She kept turning her head to look at Catherine.

Catherine took him by the hand and jumped briskly out of the carriage. Only then did he say: "If you have any questions, just ask, don't always keep them in your heart." ”

Lorraine saw that she had read her own thoughts. couldn't help but smile embarrassedly and said, "Okay, this catty, I've been stuffing the question in my heart for a long time." But I never had a chance to ask you. ”

Catherine shrugged her cheeky shoulders indifferently. said: "Since you can crouch for so long, I think there must be a reason for you." Okay, just ask. It's rare that I'm happy today. If you have any more problems after this time. Maybe I'll make you pay!"

After speaking, his watery eyes turned, and then he touched his delicate red lips with the feather fan in his hand very temptingly. Immediately after, the pretty face like jade turned red. She hurriedly unfolded her fan and blocked it.

That touch of ginger girlish style made Lorraine lose his mind for a moment.

Adele coughed softly behind him and complained in a low voice, "Hi, hi, hi." You also have to find a good place to flirt. Don't just do it in front of the big hall, "Is it okay to just do this?

Although Adele didn't pick it out, both of Lorraine knew that she would say that, and what word would be followed by the word. couldn't help but blush, and turned his head.

Lorraine coughed dryly, and then asked, "At that time, uh, I mean why didn't you bring more people with you when you escaped?"

Catherine gave him a strange look and smiled, "Just such a boring question?"

She saw Lorraine's serious look. Only then did he slowly close the fan, and then said with a cold face: "It's very simple. We are the Eggman people. Our ancestors, the Romulus brothers, grew up drinking wolf milk. Therefore, it is important to know that the world does not believe in tears, but only believes in one thing, and that is when you want to create your own happiness. You can only rely on yourself. ”

She gripped the handle of the ivory fan tightly in her hand. said word by word: "Only you have proved yourself with your own strength." You will be recognized and respected by others. to be qualified to talk to those man-eating beasts on an equal footing. And a weak girl who can only embroider can only be at the mercy of others.

Even if today it is not given by this person "and pro." Fall. Tomorrow will also be given by another person to "political zhì marriage." Target. ”

Lorraine couldn't help but feel a little gloomy. I think of the scum in the countryside who rely on the fact that there are many brothers in the family, so they are overbearing everywhere, bullying others, and no one dares to care. But I have to admit that although the law of the jungle is a murderous and bastard law, at the same time, it is also the most effective and practical law of survival.

He looked at Catherine's starry eyes and muttered, "Even if that's the case, then you should bring a few more people." ”

Catherine laughed, and asked rhetorically, "How many more people to bring? Will there be a mole? If I bring a magician, will I also send a magician to hunt down?" If there is another fight, a lot of people will die, and these elites are the pillars of the empire. The more people die, the more hatred accumulates. In the end, even if it was a civil war, it was not nothing

For us, this is something to avoid. ”

She paused for a moment, and then said, "And more importantly, for me, that time was also a trial, a political game, and so on." So we all have to keep the situation under control. ”

After finishing speaking, Yan Rangong smiled again and added: "Of course, these are not what I came up with, but the letter written to me by the old man of our family. ”

Lorraine couldn't help but smile when she heard her say it easily. But then he remembered the sky-high fire on that hill at that time, and said, "I don't think that fire is also under control." ”

Catherine also remembered the fire that almost killed her and Leo, and immediately her face turned pale, and she pursed her lips tightly. Not a word.

At this time, I heard a deep voice next to me say softly: "Yes, that fire is out of control." But the death of Xiang's nephew and the mistress of His Majesty is also not under control. ”

The voice was not high, but it was full of awe-inspiring murderous intent, like a howling north wind in winter.

Everyone couldn't help but fight a cold war. Turning his head to look, he saw that Master Lester had been standing beside them with his magic technique that never left his body from now.

The crowd hurriedly saluted him.

Lester smiled slightly, looked at everyone, and said, "No need to be polite. ”

He saw Adele standing beside Lorraine. Tightly together, he couldn't help but be angry in his heart, raised his eyebrows imperceptibly, and then said to Catherine: "Nicole, I'm just worried that you won't be able to suppress your anger and have a conflict with Russell, so I came here." ”

Catherine regained her composure.

She tucked away the fur shawl on her body and smiled, "Master, you shouldn't worry about whether I can suppress my anger. And we should be more worried about our lovely adult, see if he understands what it means to stop in moderation. ”

Lester raised his head with a smile, looked at the door not far away, and said softly: "He understands, otherwise he wouldn't be the prime minister." Believe it or not, they're all coming to meet you. ”

Lorraine turned her head to look.

I saw a large crowd pouring out of the house.

An old man in a robe and a red hat on his head. Not to mention anything else, just with that conspicuous red hat, you should be able to guess that this is the cardinal Russell of the Ruman Empire, who is in power and is a very powerful minister.

Lorraine stood by, observing the man closely.

He was about sixty years old and had a lot of wrinkles on his face. He is tall, broad-chested-shouldered, thick-boned, and has extremely long arms that can reach almost below the knees.

His head was full of white heads like grass, and his big square face had a huge hooked nose. A thick, high, bulging vein ran across the broad forehead to the top of the nose.

There was a cruel glow in his dark gray eyes. The relentless and decisive twitch of nervousness on his face from time to time, showing his subtle and complex mental activity.

Although he is quite old, when he walks, he is a dragon-shaped tiger step, extremely majestic, without a trace of old age. A hero's true colors.

Seeing this, I can't help but make Lorraine very strange, this old guy is so arrogant and exposed, and a clear-eyed person can see it at a glance, even if he has no ambition to seek a dynasty. also has the appearance of a usurper.

And until now, it has not been cleaned up by the taxi, which is really a miracle. Should it be considered that the emperor is too much of a rice bucket, or is this old guy indeed capable and outstanding. Once you leave him, the empire will not be able to play?

Then the cardinal came to Catherine, touched his chest with his hand, bowed slightly, and said in a deep voice, "Welcome to the temple"

After speaking, without waiting for Catherine to return the salute, she turned to Leo but bowed deeply, lowered her head deeply, and said in a deep voice: "Welcome grandpa." ”

Lester saw that he did not take Catherine seriously in his eyes, and was afraid that she would be angry. I couldn't help but look at her nervously.

But seeing Catherine smile slightly, she said, "Lord Russell, you don't have to be polite. And you are such a great minister to a child like this. Maybe you'll spoil him. ”

Russell didn't get up, still hanging his head. said in a deep voice: "Otherwise, although the grandfather is old, he will ascend to the throne one day." If you don't teach him well now, how can you take on the burden of dominating a country in the future?"

Catherine couldn't help but choke and couldn't speak.

Lorraine didn't expect him to meet this time, so he pointed directly at Leo's inheritance qualifications, almost equivalent to pointing at everyone's noses, and said clearly: If this cub can't do it, we will have to change people, and we won't just let him occupy his position and not.

But this kind of thing can only be dealt with by the parties themselves.

If he overstepped his bounds, the old guy would immediately accuse Leo of being so old and asking someone to teach basic etiquette, which is too immature. Doesn't have the qualifications to become emperor.

And if Leo doesn't handle it right, he will also be blamed, saying that he is not qualified. In short, no matter how Leo responds, he always has a chance to find fault and give everyone a disadvantage. By the way, I will make a noise for myself.

Thinking of this, Lorraine had to sigh, this old guy who played politics was really a hooligan. What a bad intention

Everyone turned their eyes to Leo to see how he responded.

Leo was under the attention of everyone, but he did not panic in the slightest, showing a strong psychology

Quality.

I saw him grinning, stretched out his white fat hand, helped Russell with both hands, and said, "Lord Xiang, excuse me." You're too anxious. His Majesty the Emperor is in good health and has many years to live. We don't need to rush for a while. I'm still old, and I get a headache when I see a book. Spare me first, and teach me this. We'll talk about that later."

Leo said this, although it was unintentional, but Russell immediately broke out in a cold sweat all over his body. I secretly regretted in my heart: I was really careless, I just cared about giving people a set, but I didn't expect that the child would involve the topic on the emperor's majesty, as if he said this because he was looking forward to the emperor's early death.

He couldn't help but look up and look into Leo's eyes, as if he wanted to see some conspiracy in his eyes, or a sign of genius, but only saw a piece of innocence shining in Leo's big dark eyes.

Russell looked at it for a long time, and finally lowered his head and muttered, "As you wish, Your Highness." ”

After finishing speaking, he suddenly realized that the child's clear eyes had met his gaze from beginning to end, without the slightest concession. I couldn't help but feel a little chilled again.

It's been a haven't been for years, and no one dares to look them in the eye anymore. How many people tremble when they see their gaze. And the child was not afraid. This audacity alone is enough to disgrace many powerful ministers.

Thinking of this, the arrogance of the original powerful ministers who were above 10,000 people under one person and the resentment because of the death of his nephew also disappeared a lot.

If this kid is really so old, then he has to deal with it seriously. Because he will grow up in the future, and he is already old. His own family will live under his rule in the future.

Even he had to think about the future of the family, after that ruffian held power. Remembering that he had worn shoes for him, who knew what he would do.

He didn't know that Leo was now the boss of the party with dozens of younger brothers. The ruffians in the academy don't care who your dad is or if your grandfather has ever been a prime minister.

If you want to be the boss, you have to rely on your own strength. Leo's boss, but he also followed others with punches and kicks, and he played out respectfully. That fierce king's momentum has already been practiced.

But Russell is also a hero, and he just vibrated in the depths of his heart, and then returned to normal. After all, Leo is too old, and there are still great variables in the future. Come to think of it. He couldn't help but laugh in his heart.

He stood up straight, then smiled. He asked Catherine, "Is the Duke well?" I haven't seen him for a long time. ”

Catherine gave Leo an appreciative glance. Seeing that the guy touched his head inexplicably, he replied with a chuckle: "Please worry that my father is in good health, he can eat and sleep." Don't worry, adults. Even if he is only an emperor for one day, he will definitely live to see that day. ”

Russell couldn't help but be surprised, "Huh, yes." "What does this mean?"

Catherine said: "It's very simple, now you have to collect taxes for everything you do in the empire, which can be described as ten thousand taxes, ten thousand taxes, ten thousand taxes." Inheritance tax, in particular, is set so high.

He said. Anyway, I can't see the day when I can't cut taxes in this life, so I have to work harder and live a few more days, so that I can fight to the death of His Majesty one day. so that he can also be the emperor again. Because only His Majesty the Emperor can blatantly evade taxes, isn't it?"

After saying that, he was provocative, and he chuckled lightly.

Russell couldn't help but smile bitterly and said, "Your Highness, you are laughing. ”

When he saw Lorraine standing next to him, he couldn't help but have a cold glint in his eyes, and said, "This is."

Catherine smiled indifferently and introduced, "This Count of Lorraine of the Dragon Cliff Grass Family. ”

She thought about it, a little relieved, and then added: "It's my people." ”

Listening to her introduction that would make the indiscriminate people who have nothing to do have strange associations, Lorraine couldn't help but smile bitterly in her heart. But she also knew that she had good intentions. Anyway, there is this sentence of hers placed here. In the future, other people who want to find their own troubles will also have to weigh it.

Russell narrowed his eyes, looked Lorraine up and down, nodded repeatedly, and said, "Not bad." Not bad. Your Highness, you have a pretty good eye" (To be continued)
