Volume III, Chapter 91

"Has someone been assassinated?" said a few people who walked right in front of the main entrance of the conference building, Tiff. Lorenzo was startled by the magicians who came in and out, and he gasped: "It's all at the door, you'd better tell me honestly." ”

"No, no, no. The accompanying officer shook his hand and denied it, but his mouth was still flashing: "This can't be said to be an assassin, but it is true that many people are injured, but no one is dead, not even crippled......"

"Tell the truth!" Lorenzo's eyes bulged, and the anger came up: "What's wrong with your head?!"

"Yes, during the meeting, someone rushed into the meeting and a total of one hundred and seven people were injured. The officer was scolded, and thought to himself that he really couldn't hide it: "It was done by His Majesty the Emperor—or rather, by a person who looks exactly like His Majesty the Emperor." ”

"Your Majesty the Emperor?" Lorenzo frowned: "Are you sure." ”

"Yes, His Majesty swaggered in and out. The officer felt that he was very embarrassed by this incident, and his eyes looked straight at the ground: "I changed my clothes when I beat people, and I also covered my face with a black cloth, and after the beating, I changed my clothes at the door before leaving......

Hearing the officer say this, Lorenzo was not in a hurry to go in, but walked back and forth at the door with his hands behind his back, he knew that although Cohen was a bastard, he was not going to hit people for no reason.

"Who told you to come to me?" asked Lorenzo for a long time.

"His Majesty the Emperor ordered it when he was leaving. ”

"Did you say anything else?"

"Majesty Xià also said......" The officer was stunned: "Majesty Xià also said 'so cool'." ”

"What happened before His Majesty the Emperor rushed in and beat someone?" Lorenzo turned to look at the officer, his eyes focused on his eyes, not angry.

"It seems that there is a quarrel going on......"

"If you don't want to go to jail. Just say it all as soon as possible. Lorenzo snorted, "Don't let me know the details." I'll give you a good look. ”

The First Military Discipline Superintendent of the Empire was responsible for inspecting all military personnel in the Empire. This sentence was not a joke, and the petty officer immediately poured beans into the bamboo tube and said it cleanly. It didn't matter, the brows of the First Military Discipline Supervisor were getting tighter and tighter, and the expression on Lorenzo's face was extremely bad when he heard that the officers were almost fighting.

"Let's go! The dean flicked his sleeves and led the way into the building.

In the conference hall, the messy scene has almost been cleaned up. Two-thirds of the luxurious tables and chairs had been reduced to shattered wood and swept into a corner and piled up, and the remaining chairs were lying on the table tops of officers in tattered clothes, and dozens of magicians were treating them.

"How's the officers doing?" Lorenzo walked over and asked the elf who led the team, "Will there be trouble?"

"The injuries look scary, but they're nothing, they're all skin wounds, and with a little treatment, they'll be refreshed again, and they won't even be scarred. The elf nodded slightly: "We'll be fine right away." ”

"Thank you very much. Hearing that the officers were fine, Lorenzo finally put down the stone in his heart: "This matter is a little special......"

"Reassuring Dean, magicians are not good at spreading rumors. The elf relieved Lorenzo with his words: "We are more accustomed to silence. ”

"Thank you. The dean stopped talking. He put his hands behind his back to check the officer's injuries.

Soon after, the magicians completed their healing. Pack up your things and go. Lorenzo immediately called for someone to close the door and walked up to the podium.

The officers who had been beaten could barely sit up straight, and because they didn't know why they were beaten, they all drooped their heads, depressed to the extreme, and even some noble officers were very dissatisfied.

Seeing the officers like this, Lorenzo's temper came up again, he was a man of letters, and in his mind, the soldiers of the empire had a pair of iron bones, and they must not be so depressed as they are now. And a person who even dares to contradict His Majesty the Emperor, it is indeed a little terrifying to start a fire.

"Look up at me!" Lorenzo slapped the podium on the face: "What do you look like!

The officers were shocked, and there were more doubts in their eyes, they were inexplicably beaten just now, and now they were inexplicably scolded, what's wrong today?

"I still don't understand? At the meeting held in the main palace of the imperial palace, you actually dared to scold each other, and it almost turned into a fight!" Lorenzo, who was standing in front of the officers, and the dean standing in front of the students were almost like two people: "You are really amazing, you will turn the sky upside down after you have conquered the Holy Capital and restored the Empire! As a military discipline supervisor, how should I deal with this matter? Great officers, you come to teach me." ”

Sending Lorenzo to solve this matter is also very delicate in itself, his protégés are all over the world, and many nobles are his students, which of the current officials of the various ministries is not from his disciples? Even those thirty-six tribal tycoons who are not afraid of heaven and earth have to salute and call the teacher when they see Lorenzo, let alone civilian officers.

"If today's ending is that you are divided into two factions, what will be the consequences? In less than ten days, the people and soldiers will know that the great imperial army has been divided! What a blow this is to the military and the people?" Lorenzo's face twitched, and his body trembled with anger: "This is what the enemy has always wanted to do, but has not been able to do—thanks to you, you have done it today!"

If these words were to be said by another person, it would have no effect at all, but when they came out of the dean's mouth, it was very different, and now the eyes of the officers were more shocked.

"I have often thought, this morning I was still thinking, I am the president of the Royal Academy, and the burden on my shoulders is already very heavy, why should I come to be the military discipline supervisor? Although it is the last order of the emperor, if I want to resign, His Majesty the emperor will definitely be happy. After all, he is the one who has been in charge of the whip for decades, and Lorenzo's heart-attacking methods are used just right: "But whenever I think of this, I see the scene of the dark province and the dark army for the first time in front of my eyes......"

Lorenzo stepped down from the podium and walked through the officers, whose eyes were full of guilt and did not dare to look at him.

"At that time, the soldiers of the Dark Province wore cloth of animal skin. Dozens of people eat a pot of batter. It's a head-off thing! Any enemy is stronger than them, and any enemy can despise them, but they survived!" Lorenzo sighed: "The little dark army, the lowly Ninth Legion, what kind of warriors!

"I can't forget, I can't forget the way they came back to the Dark City, their dark, emaciated, young faces! I have children, and I'm a father...... Touching his conscience and saying. As an official, I feel uneasy about letting these children go to war. The dean raised his head and smiled bitterly: "I don't come to educate them, who will educate them? I don't come to guide them, who will guide them? Not for power, not for anything else, only for responsibility and morality, I became the military discipline supervisor...... But today, what you have done chills chills for me. ”

Regardless of the nobles and commoners, the officers bowed their heads in shame. I can't wait to get under the table and hide, compared to stray arrows and flying stones. The Dean's words were even more devastating.

"You are no ordinary soldiers, you are already high-ranking officers with great achievements, and there are many things to consider. The dean looked around the audience, chuckled, and then raised his voice: "If any of you can tell the reason why His Majesty the Emperor beat you today, I will forgive him!"

None of the officers looked up, and most of them were still complaining about themselves, or in a state of shame and listening, and some of them thought about it in their hearts...... I didn't dare to speak for fear of making a mistake.

"The Emperor Majesty came in without saying a word and beat people, and after the beating, he left without saying a word, and you didn't think about why? Lorenzo walked slowly: "Who thought of it? I will allow you to speak." ”

There is no one around to talk, no one is really a fool, at this time, it is unlucky to say wrong, and if you say it right, there may not be any good fruit to eat, right?

"All along, I have opposed many of the decisions of His Majesty the Emperor. But today, I have to say, the Emperor has fought well!" The dean snorted coldly: "Look at what you are all doing? If you want to fight in the conference hall, you have no king's law, and there is still an army in your eyes!? A few days later, the people and soldiers will only know that His Majesty the Emperor has beaten you for no reason, and they will not know what happened to you! This time, His Majesty the Emperor is sacrificing his own reputation to cover up for you, the reputation of an emperor -- are you right about your own emperor!?"

These words were like steel and threw them heavily into the hearts of the officers present.

"His Majesty the Emperor is a person who values feelings, and he is willing to use his reputation to cover up your mistakes, this is your luck, if you really fight, then the result can only be one, all dismissed, dismissed, and imprisoned!" Lorenzo's words are not to scare people, if things really develop to that point, the consequences will be very severe: "You must know that it is your duty to protect the reputation of His Majesty Cohen!

Listening to the dean's words, the officers recalled His Majesty Cohen's words and deeds, their faces were red, and their hearts were extremely guilty.

"I know that the aristocratic class is very enthusiastic about this promotion, so they almost came to the palace to rob the officials with a knife and a gun, and they don't think about it in their hearts, how much effort they made when they put down the rebellion, why should they want to rob the officials? If His Majesty the Emperor divides more official positions among the nobles, I will be the first to disagree. Lorenzo turned his words and pointed the finger at the root of the problem: "And at this time, in the face of the nobles who invite merit, what His Majesty Cohen needs most is a united and stable army! ”

An officer finally couldn't hold back and said in a hoarse voice: "I—I was wrong......"

"Don't! it's useless to tell me anything, His Majesty the Emperor has intervened, and I can't punish you. The dean said angrily, "Ladies and gentlemen, it's useless to talk too much about the truth, just remember who you are loyal to...... Be content, and don't commit mistakes again, this time Cohen is close, if it is far away...... You know for yourselves!"

"I know it's wrong...... Dean, punish us!"

"I said, I won't punish you today......" Lorenzo said, and out of the corner of his eye, he glanced at the figure of the rock: "Captain of the Guard, you have something?"

The extremely tall rock took two steps forward, gave a standard military salute to the dean, and said loudly, "Commander's order!"

Everybody knows, the chief of the rock's mouth. It refers to His Majesty the Emperor. The hundred officers stood up in unison. Face the rocks and keep your head up. Listen to the Emperor's Majesty's order to punish himself.

"All the officers who participated in the meeting, after the meeting, entered the Imperial Garden to participate in the barbecue banquet of His Majesty the Emperor—the above, dissolved!"

"Yes!"

The rock gave another military salute, turned around and walked out, leaving a group of officers looking at each other, not knowing what His Majesty the Emperor wanted to do, barbecue banquet Is that a new means of punishment?

"The meeting is actually over. The dean knocked on the table in the back: "Go! ”

The officers were dumbfounded, and the guards who had led them were already standing by the door. A corner of the Imperial Garden in a quiet setting. Several large barbecue grills are blazing, and a dozen waiters and chefs are fiddling with the food to be grilled. On the grass at the back, along the rockery in the garden, facing the largest lake in the garden, more than 100 small stools and more than 10 tables were arranged.

The ragged officers came over and sat down in silence, waiting for the arrival of His Majesty the Emperor, their expressions of nervousness could not be concealed.

After a while, His Majesty the Emperor appeared by the lake with Princess Qinlun in his arms, and accompanied by several imperial concubines, they slowly walked along the embankment. His Majesty the Emperor had a leisurely expression on his face. Even the imperial concubines were all smiling, and they didn't see anything unusual at all.

"Good noon to His Majesty the Emperor!" The officers hurriedly stood up, "Good noon, ladies and gentlemen!"

"And more. His Majesty Cohen held Princess Qinlun aloft: "Lovely Princess Qinlun has no share?"

Although I haven't been notified yet. But His Majesty said that Qin Lun was a princess, which could never be wrong, so the officers saluted again: "Good afternoon, Princess Qin Lun. 」

"Sit down!" Cohen looked at the wolf officers, nodded, and a slight smile appeared on his face: "Why do you all look like this?

As soon as His Majesty Cohen said this, most of the officers immediately lowered their heads, staring at their toes with complaining eyes, not knowing how to answer. Fortunately, Princess Dill in the back stood up to uphold justice, stepped forward and pushed her husband, and His Majesty Cohen sat down with a dry cough, no longer playing with the officers.

"Good afternoon, Mr. Officers. Princess Felin, who was wearing light makeup and civilian clothes, also stepped forward and said, "You are all my husband's assistants, and we have been fighting for days and dust, and we have long wanted to meet you, but we have never had the opportunity. I heard that you are meeting in the palace today, so I asked the emperor to bring you here, and I hope you will not feel presumptuous. 」

"No, no, it is our honor to be invited by His Majesty the Emperor and the imperial concubines┅┅" A noble officer replied in fear.

"Don't worry, it's just a bite to eat, just a chat, it's not a big deal. His Majesty Cohen sat down in his place and said with a big grin, "What are you nervous about?" 」

His Majesty the Emperor gave the order, and the officers had to look up at His Majesty and give an embarrassed smile.

Princess Dill instructed the cooks, "Everyone is ready, let's begin!"

"We haven't seen each other in a long time, so let's sit closer. His Majesty Cohen put Princess Chinlun down, dragged a chair to the officers, and commanded them in a loud voice, "Sit down and make a circle. 」

The cooks grilled the food, the waiters served red wine, and seeing that this was indeed a barbecue banquet, the officers were a little more settled. In addition, with the four kind-looking imperial concubines personally distributing the food, the uneasy atmosphere that had been hanging over the hearts of the officers was quickly diluted.

"There are a lot of people, and the official rank is not small. His Majesty's gaze swept over the shoulders of the officers, "Who can tell, how long have we not seen each other?"

"Back to Your Majesty, we haven't seen each other in a year!" said an officer, standing up.

"Where did you die this year?" Cohen sneered, "Sit down and talk, it's an informal meeting, you don't have to be so rigid, everyone is the same!"

"Yes. The officer sat down with a smile: "The little one is an officer in the field infantry regiment of the Third Army, and he didn't have a chance to see His Majesty, but once he saw His Majesty, but His Majesty didn't see me."

"See, you were stabbed in the ass and lying on a stretcher, right?" Cohen laughed, "I'm sorry, like a little daughter-in-law." 」

The officers burst into laughter, and the tension was gone.

"Who was the first to follow me, people here?" said Cohen, taking a sip of red wine, "Confess it yourself." 」

"It's—" Someone immediately raised his hand and shook it, "I'm the first! I'm the first recruits of the darkness!"

"You're not the first, I'm the one. Another officer shouted, "I'm a guard at the Darkmoon Governor's Palace. 」

"I'm the one," the officers shouted.

"Alright, stop arguing. He waved his hand and said to everyone with a smile, "I just want to tell you when you joined and what you did, I remember it all in my heart. Even those who joined later, I remember your achievements and exploits clearly. 」

"Alright, stop arguing. He waved his hand and said to everyone with a smile, "I just want to tell you when you joined and what you did, I remember it all in my heart. Even those who joined later, I remember your achievements and exploits clearly. 」
