Chapter 1: The Return of the Marquis
On November 8, 243 years of the Ziwei Empire, the third child of the Imperial Earl Kay Ens arrived, and the Empire was jubilant. And our Lord Count sat at his desk and read the military report, as if it were not his child.
"Lord Earl, the young master has been born, do you want to take a look?" The maid asked timidly.
The earl glanced at the maid coldly, the maid unconsciously took a step back, and stood in front of the earl with obvious fear in her eyes, seeing this scene, the earl sighed unconsciously, and said, "No need, take it back!"
The maid hesitated a little, and then said, "Lord Earl, the third lady asked you to give the young master a name. β
The Earl looked at the maid impatiently, the maid trembled with fear, glanced at the moonlight outside the window, and the Earl said coldly: "Since you were born in the night, let's call it the night." β
"Yes, Lord Count. The maid withdrew, and told the third lady the name of Night.
"Third lady. The maid called out respectfully, "What's your name?" the third lady asked coldly. "Madame Hui, Master Night, Master Ens. β
"Night?" exclaimed Yue a little distractedly, "Let's call it night!" Looking at the baby in the cradle, Yue Qian smiled, this smile was actually overwhelming, it was stunning, but I don't know why the Earl was so cold to such a beautiful woman, which made people feel pity.
And our young master of the night slowly opened his eyes, which were seriously distorted, and they were unusually wise and bitter, not like the eyes of a born baby.
Star Continent, the name of this continent, the continent that has always been occupied by the four major imperial divisions, the Rising Sun in the East, the Rain and Dew in the South, the Light Moon in the West, and the Crape Myrtle in the North. It is a thousand-year-old folk song of this continent, and it is also the direction occupied by the major empires, the crape myrtle calendar is two hundred and forty-four years, the south of the crape myrtle empire is in an emergency, the rain and dew sneak attack the southern fortress, Lord Count Kai Ens personally took command, resisting foreign enemies, which lasted up to two years, two hundred and forty-six years in the Gregorian calendar, the imperial hero Lord Count Kai Ens returned triumphantly, the imperial capital was jubilant, the streets were full of crowded crowds on both sides, holding flowers, enthusiastically crowded to the center of the street, wanting to greet the heroes of the empire with their most enthusiastic attitude, and the city guards at this time were undoubtedly the most unlucky, because they not only had to block the enthusiasm of the excessive peopleAt this moment, they should be most envious of the Praetorian Guards of the Imperial City, because they can receive the heroes of the empire nearby, and they can also wear beautiful clothes to enjoy the adoration and admiration of the people of the empire, and they don't have to worry about being washed out by the waves of enthusiastic people in the next second.
And when our Lord Earl saw this, he couldn't help frowning and quickened his way to the palace. As the first military general of the empire, he does not have such an optimistic attitude towards this war, he does not think that this war that lasted two years is a victory, not to mention the problem of waste of money and food, that is, the imperial soldiers who died in the war are far more than the people of the Yulu Empire in terms of quantity, what kind of victory is this, but it took two years to temporarily resist the attack of the Yulu Empire and win a short peace, if it were not for the internal problems of Yulu himself, it is still unknown who will win and lose this war, the empire's army has decayed, otherwise how can it resist the 600,000 army of Yulu with a million troops and almost lose the battle, Our Lord Count doesn't think that Yulu will stop attacking Ziwei, at most twenty years, when Yulu's internal crown prince is established and ascends the throne, and the vitality recovers, the Ziwei Empire will face the biggest crisis of national destruction in history, and now the imperial officials are corrupt, the treasury is empty, and the interior is scattered, which makes Kai can't help but think of the incident twenty years ago, if he was still here, would the empire become what it is today? Kai has no answer.
However, what the hell does this have to do with Lao Tzu, that's what the next Minister of War is worried about, Kai shook his head irritably, this time when he returns to the imperial capital, he may never leave again, even if the empire is going to die, but the imperial capital will at least last for a long time, and when he dies of old age, the imperial capital may be over, of course, what makes him even more upset is how to deal with the one in the family, the farce of the year...... Alas!
"Report, Lord Earl has returned triumphantly and asked to see Bixia. A small soldier in armor ran into the temple and said on his knees.
Emperor Hahadaxiao of the Jinluan Palace, said, "Okay, pass." βγ
"Count Kai Ens enters the palace. A man with a duck's voice shouted loudly.
Kai strode into the main hall, "See bixia," Kai saluted and said: "The minister lives up to expectations, and the side plug is safe." β
Haha, "Okay, the general is really the pillar of our country, come to the people, spread my will, Kai Ens stationed in the border fortress, resisting the enemy meritorious, specially named Ziwei military god, give the title of marquis, hereditary." When the word zuihou was pronounced, there was an uproar below, and even Kai himself jumped, to be honest, he expected it to be hereditary, which is a rare glory in the entire imperial capital, this is not just a small job can be obtained, he is more, it represents the glory of a family, after a moment, Kai came back to his senses and said: "Minister, thank you for the reward." β
"Also, is Aiqing's territory Loulan Province?"
Kai wondered, "Yes." β
"Then I'll send you to supervise the Krest Province on the left side of Loulan Province, which is good. Yun Rohr asked.
Hearing this, Kai was completely dizzy at the moment, this reward was a bit too unexpected, not light, but heavy, this time the reward was a bit too heavy, and our Earl couldn't believe it for a while, but this military god still had a relatively good psychological quality, and soon accepted the order.
After retreating from the court, the people around greeted him one after another, "Congratulations, Congratulations, Lord Marquis, we will rely on you for more support in the future," a man in a red official uniform said, and the people around him echoed: "Yes, Lord Earl, I hope you will give me more advice in the future!" Kai smiled and said: "You are polite, I Kai has been in the court for several years, how can I compare with all the adults for the country and the people, you adults are serious." "Lord Marquis is polite, your lord is a pillar of the country, and I hope your lord will take care of it." β
Kai smiled and said: "Ladies and gentlemen, you and I are colleagues of each other, support each other, that's a matter of course, thank you for not disliking, Kai is grateful! It's just that Kai returned to Beijing today, and has been away from home for two years, and his wife and children at home may have been waiting for a long time. β
After hearing this, the ministers hahadaxiao said, "The Marquis loves his family so much, and he is indeed a role model for men! β
Kai gave a military salute and said, "Everyone, I have time to talk about it, I'm sorry today." After saying that, he threw off his cloak and strode out.
Inside the Earl's Court, oh, it should be changed to the Marquis's Court now. A little boy carved in pink is sitting on a big tree, it looks like it is less than a meter, the big trunk completely supports his body, the little boy lies quietly on it, and he also holds a book in his hand, reading carefully, just looking at the cover, it is the "General History of the Mainland" of the Star Continent, which makes people wonder if he understands it.
Suddenly, there was a sound of footsteps and noise below, "Hurry up, Lord Marquis is coming back soon, hurry out of the mansion to greet you." The boy couldn't help frowning, "Are you back?" The boy whispered, his tone was quite disdainful, too, a father who hadn't seen him for two years, a father who felt quite irritated even when he was born, wanted to make the night have a good impression of Kai, it was a bit of a fantasy, although he was a little cruel to his father, but, father? hehe, if he was really the night, it was indeed a bit too desperate, but, was he called the night? He's not, maybe when he came to this shijie, Lord Yama forgot to give him Meng Po soup, even though he has been in this so-called Star Continent for more than two years, but he has never forgotten that he comes from a blue planet called Earth, from a country of civilization 1, for a person who once had a happy Xinfu family, let him go to another time and space to recognize a high-ranking and powerful marquis as a father, or a father who doesn't care about him, he, does he care? Even his mother, Yue Gretel, was only accepted by the night because of his all-night vigil when he was sick, and his meticulous relationship, and he knew what kind of life he and his mother were living in the Earl's Court, although he didn't know that Weishenme's so-called father Weishenme would treat his mother like this, but even if it wasn't because of this, for this sudden father, in the words of the night, what was he?
After thinking for a while, the night still jumped off the tree, he knew that even if he didn't treat his father well, he still had to meet his nominal father, because if he didn't go, it would be his mother who would suffer, and on a rainy night a year ago, his mother waited by his side all night, inserting herself for him to cool down, melting the ice and snow in his heart, and making him feel that there was still someone he guarded on this shijie, and in this mansion, his mother was the most unpopular, even his so-called father.
But for some reason, his mother was never kicked out of the house, even if she was arrogant, she was only sarcastic, but she never dared to fight, as if they were afraid of something, Ye had also observed his mother, but found nothing, and over time ignored this problem.
Kai has a headache now, a headache, walking on the road, why can't he figure out how bixiaweishenme wants to give Kerest to him at night, in fact, because Kerest has no lord, all trade depends on Loulan, Kerest has long been his in secret, but this thing is taken to the surface, Kai really can't figure it out, and what is going on with that hereditary, this reward is really a bit too much, so that his heart wants to spend his old age in peace has been beating, but he can't think of it, Kai shook his head, stroked his forehead, and had to temporarily suppress his doubts, groaned for a while, and then returned homeγ
Outside the Marquis's Palace, two huge stone lions stand on both sides, majestic and mighty.
