，

After that, I was busy for more than ten days. Under the guidance of Catherine and Baron Roquander, he even went to Lordina's side to the house where he was somewhat related.

Because the lord is very strict in following the unspoken rules, he has never bullied others. Immediately met everyone's praise.

By this time, Lorraine, Catherine and Adele, on the contrary, relaxed, and all the people who should have visited were visited, and the gifts were given to everyone's satisfaction.

Lorraine knew that although some of them were inconspicuous, their energy was not in case if they secretly stumbled, even if they were themselves, they would have a headache for a long time.

This trip up and down, although Lorraine has a lot of blood, but these are also inevitable, after all, man is a social animal. Although others received gifts, they still had to return the favor in the end.

Of course, after all this walk, the result is quite ideal.

The vast majority of people expressed their support for Archduke Julian and His Royal Highness Catherine, although some of them did not express their position explicitly for various reasons, but at least these guys would not directly oppose it.

And that's enough for Lorraine.

Especially within the cabinet, there are too many things for these bigwigs to worry about and weigh, although they will not express their position directly, but the meaning of supporting Lorraine is also obvious.

Especially after visiting the Minister of Military Affairs, Padres, who had a very close relationship with Julio's family.

I think that Archduke Julius was a soldier under him at the beginning, and then under the care and promotion of this old guy, this was mixed up step by step.

That night, Catherine took the opportunity of a party at Padres' house to visit her as a junior. The old man was immediately overjoyed.

His old man personally came to the door to greet him.

Catherine saw this, quickly got out of the car, and then hurried to meet it.

Padres also smiled and opened his hands at the moment, and said, "Welcome back, my lovely princess." ”

Catherine also smiled and said coquettishly: "Grandpa Paley, I can't do it now." ”

Padres put his arm around her and said, "My dear child, no matter how old you are, in my eyes, you will always be the girl who liked to climb trees.

Catherine couldn't help but froze, and then hugged the old man gently, faintly smelling the same warm smell as her grandfather back then, and couldn't help but lose her mind for a moment.

Padres patted her lightly on the back, then set her eyes on Leo, who was following her closely, dressed in a well-dressed manner.

He saw Leo looking at him excitedly, let go of Catherine at the moment, then squatted down, looked into Leo's eyes, and said, "My baby, I heard that you also had a part in escorting Nicole to the academy in the first place, and you also made a great contribution in the middle, right?"

Leo raised his chest high at the moment, but when he waved his hand, his mouth was very modest, and he said disappreciatively: "It's average, it's just some scenes." You don't have to praise me too much. ”

Even though he said this, the nose was almost up to the sky. Everyone looked at his expression and had no doubt that if he had a tail, he would be arrogant enough to be a flagpole.

Everyone immediately knew that this guy was hinting to everyone, you can praise me vigorously, whether it is a once-in-a-century genius, or the water of the Yellow River or something, I can resist all of them.

Padres was not slacking off at the moment, and praised him very much. The happy ruffian, his big eyes narrowed into a slit, and he couldn't even close his mouth, but he still waved his hands vigorously, pretending to be modest.

Padres saw that he had used up all the sycophants he had lived for most of his life, and he didn't even have any fleshy words left when he was chasing his girlfriend, but the rascal was still not satisfied, so he had to smile bitterly at the moment, and then changed the subject, saying, "By the way, my hero, what gift do you want this time?"

When Leo heard this, his spirit was shocked.

"Hmm" he gritted his white baby teeth, bit his white chubby fingers, tilted his head and thought for a moment, and then said, "It's nothing." I just want a BMW, it's for travel. And then give me three aircraft carriers, which are going to be used to hit icebergs to play.

Finally, I was given two more 30-ton stones, and I wanted to play "Heaven and Earth Collision" again.

Of course, if it's convenient for you, can you make me another big Ruman City sand table, and I'll play "Likou" once

He paused for a moment, then held his fleshy cheeks with his hand, frowned lightly, and thought very seriously: "Or play Godzilla vs. Ultraman once?

When Catherine heard this, she couldn't cry or laugh at the moment, and shouted angrily in a low voice: "You can give me a little, don't think about some unmarked and messy things all day long."

As he spoke, he raised his hand and knocked on it.

Leo screamed at the moment, then rubbed his head crookedly, and said, "But this is what Grandpa Parley said he wanted to give me." ”

Catherine raised her hand and was about to knock again.

Padres hurriedly reached out to stop it. Then he looked at Leo and said, "What you said, there is."

It doesn't matter what the Word is, it doesn't matter if it doesn't please the public. Leo shook Paderes' arm excitedly and said, "Really, really?

Padres hesitated for a moment, then said, "But these are all in exchange for your watch." ”

He paused for a moment, then looked at Leo very seriously, and said, "Now sue me, have you been a good boy all along?"

"I ...... I, Leo, immediately concluded.

He widened his eyes and said several times, but in the end he said dejectedly: "Then you still give me the dog that promised me before."

In the end, he hung his head in frustration, but even his ears drooped.

Padres couldn't help but laugh when he saw it.

He patted Leo on the head and said, "Don't be so depressed, my hero. I'll give you that dog. And if you wait a minute, go to the study with me, and wait for me to open the second compartment of the secret cabinet,"

Leo's eyes lit up again with excitement, and he exclaimed, "I know, there is a model of a big ship, and I have wanted it for a long time. ”

As he spoke, he turned around, picked up Melina, and ran over, shouting, "Don't call me, I know the password to your secret cabinet." It's your house number. ”

Padres Dazhongtian before he came back to his senses. muttered, "Looks like I'm going to have to change it when I go back." The number is right."

Everyone thought that Leo was talking nonsense, but when they heard his words, they couldn't help but sweat profusely.

Lorraine couldn't help but be amazed, that hooligan did this kind of stealing thing, as if he was better at it than himself.

By this time, Padres had already recovered and moved his gaze to Lorraine.

Catherine hurriedly introduced, "Lorraine, this is the military chief Padres that I often mention to you, and I was good friends with my grandfather and my grandfather. When they were young, they were known as the Three Masters of the Empire. ”

Padres laughed out loud as Catherine told her about her youthful past, and now it was as if she had been scratched on the most itchy part of her heart and liver. But he also waved his hand, with a modest face. It's just that the look is exactly the same as Leo's appearance just now.

Although he was thinking crankily in his heart, he didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly took a step forward and said, "I've seen the chief man." ”

Padres looked at Lorraine, and then his eyes flashed with approval, then he reached out and patted him on the shoulder, and said, "You are Lorraine, the Lorraine who beat the Almohads all over the place." Not bad, not bad. Pretty good. I also heard that you wrote something called "On War"? Go back and take it out, and let my old man take a good look at it.

There are not many young people as talented as you."

Lorraine couldn't help but sweat slightly, and then said, "Thank you, Lord for complimenting." ”

Padres laughed and said, "It's not a compliment, it's a fact." ”

He paused for a moment and said very bluntly: "Son, you may not know when you first came. Our political circles have always been stinking shit, and even a good person is unwilling to step on it.

The question of your appointment is not a big deal. But not everyone is in circles. So it's normal to be dragged a bit. But you can rest assured, as long as I am here, I will never let you be cheated. The storage is a big fat difference. But I just can't guarantee where to go. ”

Lorraine listened to his words, which were considered an official attitude, and this was a relief.

At this time, I heard the sound of music coming from the room in the distance.

Padres listened, and beckoned to everyone: "Come in, everyone, the meeting has begun." You must have fun to your heart's content. ”

As he spoke, after saying hello to everyone, he ran quickly to his study. As he ran, he whispered to himself, "My ancestor, you must take it easy." Don't break my stash of wine."

Lorraine looked at his young man's posture and couldn't help but smile at Catherine. The news that I really need to get is actually just a few words.

In the future, you can relax and enjoy your vacation

Lorraine counted the days on her fingers. Now I am really miserable

From the beginning, he was busy running for a living. Later, in order to evade military service, I finally got into the academy, and I didn't enjoy a few days of peace, and after half a year of fighting, I finally found a little leisure time in Ruman City.

Lorraine got up early in the morning and saw that the big family in the Grand Duke's Mansion began to make a fuss.

Catherine and Adele were happily waiting for Lorraine at the table, Lorena was sometimes there, sometimes not, Vera was still the same, fighting fiercely with breakfast with a happy face.

Seeing her eat and drink like that, and she won't get fat, all the girls are envious.

Leo, on the other hand, was as usual, making a lot of noise around the table, and then took the opportunity to pick out the vegetables he didn't like on his plate.

In order to avoid suspicion, Sylmeria usually does not appear here, also because she does not want to see Catherine and Adele full of spring.

Wan led Lorraine down, and he was greeted by two charming smiling faces, Lorraine sat down, and Catherine and Adele hurriedly brought all kinds of food to Lorraine, and asked for warmth one by one.

"Are you tired? ”

"Are you sleepy? Come and eat this, I heard people say that eating this is a big supplement. ”

Leo looked at Lorraine's preferential treatment greedily and pounded the contents of the plate indignantly, and Melina pushed several plates in front of Leo and smiled brightly at Leo.

In this warm atmosphere of family, several people discussed going there to have a good time.

While they were in Lorraine on a relaxing tour of the city of Jouman, on the other side of the city, Xiang Russell walked slowly into a corridor of the county palace.

Russell eventually came to a door, and the two guards pulled it open without saying a word.

From the doorway, you can see that there is a restaurant in the house, facing the garden on one side, and the sun shines obliquely through the garden.

The supreme emperor of the Ruman Empire, His Majesty, was sitting on a chair, competing with his breakfast.

If Lorraine had seen this, she would have exclaimed: she finally knew where Leo's bad food problems came from.

When Emperor Julund saw Russell walk in, he put down the knife and fork in his hand very happily, and then said with a smile: "My lord, I heard that you came to work at four o'clock in the morning today. ”

Then the Emperor of Rulunde County said to the attendants beside him: "Go, give Xiang a cup of refreshing tea, and prepare the same breakfast for Xiang as me."

He deliberately put "Like me, a few words are extremely heavy."

The chamberlain listened to his childish command, twitched the corners of his mouth, and then withdrew with the proper manners of the royal attendants, that is, with a blank face.

Russell bowed and said, "Thank you." ”

A waiter gently pulled out a chair and seated Russell at the table.

Soon, the chamberlains were putting the cutlery and food in front of Russell.

Russell looked at the vegetables on his plate, but he didn't care about it at the moment. This made the Emperor Jourund look at it, and he couldn't help but be a little disappointed again: why do these people like to eat vegetables?

After a hearty meal, Russell relaxed picked up his teacup and took a comfortable breath.

Emperor Zhulunde smiled and said, "Okay, my dear minister, now I can tell me what it is that is worth getting up in the middle of the night." ”

Russell put down his teacup and said, "In the southeastern province of Nai'an, there is another tax riot, and the governor is asking for reinforcements. ”

Emperor Zhulunde was stunned for a moment, put down the teacup, and then shook his head very disappreciatively, and said, "Naian Province?

Russell smiled bitterly and said, "No, Your Majesty, it's just the opposite, it's actually just a hundred and ten aliens protesting in front of the Governor's Palace.

The Governor is not able to collect the taxes, and he is just making excuses, and using this method of killing will not only not help, but will probably worsen the situation in Naian. Those aliens, not easy to deal with, harsh policies, they will rebel, loose policies, and they will think that the government is easy to bully. ”

Emperor Jolund pondered for a moment, and then asked, "Who is the governor of Naian? What is the matter? How can he resist taxes and send troops to suppress a hundred and ten dwarves and elves? I will let him get out." ”

Russell hurriedly said, "The governor of Ne is the Marquis of Marleton. I have come to persuade His Majesty not to punish the Marquis of Marleton.

Because that would send the wrong signal to the residents of Nai An, that if they make a fuss, the government will have to accommodate them. If this happens, the consequences will be stricter, and Ne An will be even more difficult to manage. ”

Emperor Jolund thought for a moment, then nodded and said, "You're right, Russell, those outsiders probably think we're afraid of them. So what are we going to do? Send troops or ignore them?"

Russell said: "It is up to His Majesty to decide, my opinion is that it is good to apply for the Marquis of Marleton in private, he may just be stunned by the anger of these savages." ”

Emperor Julund shook his head and said, "Marretton is qualified to be a general, but being a governor is a bit difficult for him. I remember that he was a fortress on the northern front for eight years, and I originally wanted to comfort him before I made him the governor, but as soon as he was transferred, the brainless guys behind him suffered a big defeat. Alas"

Russell also spread his hands helplessly and said, "Marquis Marleton, his temperament is a little impatient. ”

Emperor Jolund lowered his head, thought silently for a moment, and suddenly asked, "What are your plans regarding the appointment of that Count of Lorraine?"

Russell said: "I am still negotiating with the chief of the military department, since His Majesty does not want to send him to the barbarian crusading army in the north, it is not easy to find a suitable position for him, after all, his achievements are there, and the position of the commander of the army is low, but the general on the general side is too high." ”

Emperor Julund asked, "What is Padres' opinion?"

Russell smiled bitterly and said, "Your Excellency, Chief of War, I have no opinion. ”

Emperor Rulund was stunned for a moment, and then laughed and said, "This old fox. If you want me to say, it's okay to send him directly to my brother, so that Nicole can take Leo to toss me. I've heard that Lorraine is the one who is most afraid of Julius. ”

Russell said urgently: "No, Your Majesty" (to be continued)
