Chapter 331: The Emperor Summons the Emperor
Tan Xinyu came and stayed for a while, and then prepared to leave. And Zhou Huan was just about to return to the imperial capital, so the two of them happened to be on the same road, so the two of them went on the road together.
And Zhou Huan is now a lord, of course, it is impossible to go alone. And now, he still has three guards behind him. The three guards are the elven princess Ash, the dwarven Egin, and the orc saber-toothed tiger Blairley.
As a human being, Zhou Huan didn't bring a human guard. The main thing is that there are not enough human manpower, and there were originally twelve Saint Seiyas with Zhou Huan, but at the moment they are very busy.
Because of the war, the enemy left many warriors behind. It was still too overkill for these warriors to let them be slaves, so Zhou Huan planned to treat them as his own soldiers.
If you want to put it back, it's impossible. In that case, stay and be your own soldier. Anyway, the soldiers in Enriel's territory are still treated very well.
In this way, the entire Enriel territory actually had an additional team of 2,000 people out of thin air, and the Enriel territory, even if there was no battle damage this time, was only a thousand human warriors. Of course, these teams still need to be integrated, so Zhou Huan's twelve Saint Seiyas, as the leaders of the troops, naturally can't leave.
So Zhou Huan brought out the three of them, of course, there are many factors in this that are the reasons why they need to practice. It's not a matter for several races to shrink in one place, so Zhou Huan brought them out, which can be regarded as knowledge.
Of course, because their racial characteristics are obvious, they are all wearing cloaks for safety. Although there is no way to hide the body of the dwarf race, fortunately, the dwarf race can still appear in many places on the mainland, even if Zhou Huan brings one, it will not be too eye-catching.
However, the orcs and elves are different, and the two races can be sold for a high price on the black market. In this way, there will naturally be a lot of trouble. So Zhou Huan asked both of them to wear cloaks. Try not to show the characteristics of the two people.
Ash doesn't have a problem. The two ears are blocked by the hair, and with the cloak, there is basically nothing to see. But Blair is very troublesome, and those two long teeth don't seem to be so easy to hide.
Zhou Huan couldn't give him a mask, so he could only let him wear a mask and only show his eyes. And his height, though human beings are rarely that tall. But it's not for nothing.
After many problems were solved, Zhou Huan took the three of them on the road, as for the others. Zhou Huan felt that it was useless to take it, so he only took the three of them on the road.
Originally, Ash didn't use it, after all, Ash, as the princess of the elf clan, still has a very noble status. And he was also afraid of the Elven Queen. In case something happens, the elf queen will probably have to settle accounts with herself. It was only later that Ash pestered him, so he said to Ash, "As long as your mother agrees, I will take you out." ”
As a result, Zuihou, Ash actually really convinced his mother. I really don't know how she did it, in that case, Zhou Huan also brought Ash. After all, a little beauty is still very eye-catching. And an archer. is still an archer with a long-range observation pupil technique, which is still very useful to Zhou Huan.
Although the journey was a bit tiring. But with Tan Xinyu and Ash, the two lively beauties, life is not boring. The group soon came to the capital of the empire, and Zhou Huan also returned here again.
Looking at this quaint and huge big city, Zhou Huan's heart couldn't help but feel the grandeur of this empire. Perhaps the city was not as prosperous and beautiful as the Louis Empire's Eiffel, nor was it as holy and arrogant as the São Paulo Empire.
But it has a unique sense of heaviness, and Zhou Huan, as a student of the Military Academy, has such a long period of experience. Originally, as a lord, this time to look at the city is also different, the original tall buildings, plus the mountain building, and there is the river water from the Gudian River to rely on, this city can be said to have a dangerous geographical advantage.
Back in this city, Zhou Huan did not receive the emperor's first call. After all, as an emperor of the empire, he also has a lot of liliang and resources in his hands, and Zhou Huan, a small lord, is not a figure in the eyes of the emperor, and there is no need to find him at the first time.
However, the news of his coming here also reached the palace, and after Tan Xinyu said goodbye and returned to his own Dexiang Zhai, Zhou Huan was arranged by the palace people to live in a place, and he lived with peace of mind.
Although the house was not big, it was enough for the four of them. And the next day, news came, saying that Zhou Huan was going to the palace. I didn't expect it to come quite quickly, mainly because the patriarch of the Zebulun family died in Enriel's territory, after all, he was an earl, and such a thing was in an uproar, so it was better to deal with this matter quickly.
What Zhou Huan didn't know was that he was now in the mouths of the officials of the empire, and he had become a heinous lord. And this aspect includes the problem of these lords holding troops and self-respect outside.
Of course, there are also objections, after all, this time it can be seen with a clear eye who is right and who is wrong this time, and who is invading whose territory.
In fact, even those officials and nobles who targeted Zhou Huan did not have any great grudges against Zhou Huan. Rather, it was because he had threatened their interests by killing an earl in this way.
For this kind of ethereal but existential thing, these nobles are very concerned. It didn't matter if Zhou Huan was a nobody, but this man had to be killed because what he had done had affected them. They don't want such an outlier among the lords of the empire.
What's more, Zhou Huan is not without weaknesses, such as the alien races in his territory. This is a breakthrough in the attack.,After all, this shijie is still human.,What's going on with the appearance of aliens in your territory?,Is it trying to rebel?
Speaking of which, whether this person is right or wrong depends entirely on a mouth, and whether there is a sin or not depends on what you say. Of course, Zhou Huan doesn't know these things, but that doesn't mean that others don't know these things.
One of them knew the news, and this person Zhou Huan also knew and had some relationships. This person was none other than Grand Duke Violet, as the first duke of the empire, he certainly knew the whole situation of Zhou Huan's territory.
And these things are insignificant in his eyes, Zhou Huan, as a lord of the territory, has clear regulations on whether he has a very strong military liliang. Among them, there is a specification of a military liliang as a territorial lord, and as long as this specification is not crossed, then there is no problem.
However, this specification is also divided into two situations, one is the size of the territory, and the other is the size of the lord's title. In the eyes of others, these two are completely interrelated, and this is true in the Empire.
Basically, how big a territory is how big a title is, but Zhou Huan's is a little different. His territory was huge, even exceeding the area of the duke's domain, which was really too large for a viscount.
And his private army also has problems, a viscount's army is not allowed to exceed a thousand people, while Zhou Huan's human army belongs to a thousand people. However, there is also a territorial problem, a territory of 100 miles square, there are only a thousand warriors, which is a bit too few.
Therefore, if you attack Zhou Huan from this aspect, it will be easy to clear his name. And the rest, I guess there are only those interracial problems, this problem is really difficult.
The idea that alien races, after all, is not their own race, and the concept that non-our race must have different hearts has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. As other races, of course, it is difficult for human beings to look at it with normal eyes.
This problem is also Duke Violet's headache, both public and private, he wants to help Zhou Huan. As a new territory lord, he likes Zhou Huan's personality very much, and he also wants to change this court that has begun to decay with fresh blood.
But these things are all about convincing one person first, that is, the current emperor. And he is relatively sure of this, because this emperor is not the inactive emperor of the Xihua Empire in the past.
This emperor doesn't look at the surface and doesn't do anything, but only the Duke of Violet knows that this emperor's ambition has never been small. It is precisely because of this that he has long had a good opinion of these moth-like nobles, and has been thinking about weakening the rights of these nobles. But these nobles are the top of the entire empire after all, and it is too difficult to weaken them.
However, the appearance of Zhou Huan is an opportunity, the strength is strong, and the territory has actually summoned Liliang, who is not weak. At the same time, he also has the identity of a Holy Heavenly Pavilion, so as an imperial lord, he can be regarded as a very fresh blood.
Therefore, this emperor Bixia will not necessarily cure Zhou Huan's crimes, but should support him. Thinking of this, Duke Violet's heart was much more relieved.
The Grand Duke of Violet is not an ancient nobleman either, and should be a lucky speculator. However, he, a speculator, also has a very sharp vision. Because he was the first, and the one who valued this emperor Bixia from the beginning.
He was originally a guard, but because of his unique vision, he was appreciated by the emperor Bixia, who was originally the prince. Later, with his own strength, he made a good official position.
But none of this is important, the important thing is that he values a prince who has no hope of becoming an emperor at all, and as a result, the two of them conspired from the very beginning, and Zuihou actually succeeded. (To be continued.) )
