The night passed, and the morning light pierced the night.

The team continued to march southwest, and the Iron Guard, of three hundred, took with them a group of cavalry guns.

Beyond the Beacon City defense, the boundless meadows of the Norfoss Plains came into view, but after a few days, the villages were scarce, and even the cultivated land was not as large as expected, and the fierce chaos brought a heavy blow to the land.

The exiles did not easily settle down wherever they went, and the approval of the local nobles' consulate was required to settle down, and after the death of many nobles, the royal capital and the major families, as well as the powerful ministers, all tacitly sent vassals here.

Tipeon and Selena, the heads of the two marquisal families, are opposed to this obvious weakening, so the matter is still in the process of being pulled, and it has not yet been fully implemented, and there is no basic condition to control the displaced people.

Today's Norfos Plains are full of chaos, and there are many forces behind them that support the bandit group to rebel, and Tumiit is at the forefront.

One morning, outside the Blood Lion City.

The new Marquis Tipeon went out with the guards to greet him, because on the surface, Castaro and Tumiit were half allies, and in the eyes of the outside world, the two sides did not get too close because they were concerned about the relationship between the royal capital, after all, the original intention of the canonization of the Marquis of Blood's blood was to vigorously suppress it.

Jiang Yuan walked out of the carriage and rode on the alchemy war horse, accompanied by several iron guards.

"Your Highness, there is a lot of chaos here now, I have prepared an escort for you, and I should respond to our friendship of fighting side by side in the past."

After many years, Tipeon was very badly blessed, killing his brother Mizelle and forcing the old marquis to abdicate, and he had already avenged half of his wife's revenge.

But when he sat in the position of marquis, he clearly realized how secure Darius's position was in the center of the royal capital.

Five years on, the expected marriage between Tipeon and Selena has been met with unprecedented resistance, and no one wants to see the birth of a force that can influence the overall situation in Norfos.

Before the all-out war, the marriage was rightfully lost.

As Selena married a vassal in order to secure her position, Tipeon also married the daughter of a superior nobleman, who was born late, and the age gap between the two was not large.

Time blurred his wife's face, and after the purpose was achieved, the human god ceased to appear in the dream.

It became a secret that he never spoke.

"Good intentions." Jiang Yuan looked at the red-haired and charming woman holding the child at the other side, "Boreas?"

"Yes." Tipeon suppressed his inexplicable expression and introduced with a smile: "I heard that there is a nine-year-old junior scholar from their family, who was promoted to the Earth Saint level magician a few years ago, even in the royal capital, he is an unheard of genius. ”

"Rudius was hired to teach Alice and was very polite." The red-haired woman hesitated and continued, "It's just a little ...... Precocious, he gets along well with Girienu, and I heard that it is to earn money to study with his childhood sweetheart in La Noa. ”

A trace of disgust appeared in Tipeon's eyes, but because of the fading of the other party's appearance and family background, the young Earth Saint and the Beast Sword King, this woman was preaching her status all the time, and she was completely inferior to ......

Thinking of this, Tipeon sighed, he could no longer remember his wife's face.

"Then don't leave it at that, the plains are rampant with thieves, and it is up to the Marquis to suppress the chaos."

Jiang Yuan didn't look at the middle-level soldiers in the marquis's guard, turned the horse's head, and the two sides said goodbye.

……

The convoy crossed the Blood Lion City, day and night, until a majestic giant city appeared in front of them, one of the three famous royal fortresses in the kingdom of Asra, surrounding the direct lords of the royal family, and the north and south were rejected, and even during the great war between humans and demons, this barrier was never breached.

At this point, the environment has become peaceful, from time to time you can see rows of village houses and vast farmland, densely populated, night comes, the land is dotted with orange light, under the premise of Norvers paying taxes in half, the direct royal domain can still maintain the operation of the entire central region and the pleasure of the royal capital nobles.

On the last night, the convoy stopped for repairs in a manor less than fifty miles from the royal capital, which was a resting place prepared by the royal capital's ceremonial department for the king's blood.

Away from the war, the castle was converted into a villa, surrounded only by white-painted fences, and the Iron Guards drove away the servants and guards inside, and then entered the guard at the same time.

Jiang Yuan met with the ceremonial officer who came to communicate, it was the one who organized his wedding back then, and just yesterday, the other party was temporarily promoted to one of the twelve deputy ministers by the minister of ceremonies, whether he can stay in the seat in the future depends on the performance during the term of office, mainly refers to whether the previous prince and the center are harmonious, with the rise of the upstart, he has been regarded as a member of the Tumiit camp.

"Your Highness, I've been waiting for you."

The ceremonial officer smiled brightly, and the two spy guards next to him stepped back.

Sheng Yi, who was standing behind the seat, said: "Master, because the conditions are suitable, Your Excellency the Ceremonial Officer is currently one of the lower lines, but the loyalty is up for debate. ”

As if he hadn't heard, the ceremonial officer bowed meticulously.

"I want to know the current situation of the royal capital, is there anything worth mentioning." Jiang Yuan said.

"Back to Your Highness, the royal capital is as peaceful as ever, but when it comes to noteworthy things, there are so many things." The ceremonial officer replied: "First of all, the Duke of Pilemon reported to the capital, and he appeared at the banquet with Princess Ariel, basically declaring that the princess had the support of the nobles of the higher ranks, and this official news caused an uproar.

The second is that several slaves who escaped from Darius's mansion caused trouble, including one of the earl's concubines, who claimed that she was forcibly possessed by Darius, and was subsequently imprisoned for misfortune.

In addition, there is also an ongoing knight tournament, and it is said that several royal capital noble academies have sent the best students to participate, and the final winner will be awarded the king's blood. ”

After speaking, the ceremonial officer pondered for a long time, and continued: "Recently, Your Majesty has added a new prince, but there are bad words circulating in the Silver Palace, the pregnancy is not right, and that beautiful beauty was previously a singer in captivity by the first prince, and there are different opinions in the imperial court. ”

The ceremonial officer said a few more things, and became more and more secretive.

When it was over, Jiang Yuan looked at Shengyi.

"Master, it's basically true."

Suddenly, fine sweat seeped from the corners of his forehead, and the ceremonial officer's heart chuckled, his hearing seemed to be magnified, and the sound of the two guards behind him pressing the sword into the sheath seemed to pierce the eardrums.

"Let's go down." Jiang Yuan lifted the deer blood wine jug and took a sip.

"Your Highness?" The ceremonial officer was puzzled, he should have passed the test.

"I have seen your loyalty, but there are others, let all who can see it, and come to me again." Jiang Yuan said.

"Understood." The ceremonial officer retired, mixed in the royal capital, he had long adapted to the ability to understand a little, the person in front of him did not care about his loyalty, others thought so, only available, in short, it was a lack of a vote, vaguely regarded as a member of the camp is not enough, to be clear and thorough.
