547 Cold Thorn (5)

In the spacious banquet hall of the Duke's Palace, the low and mournful dance music was gently echoing, but there were not many people dancing on the dance floor, and the host of this banquet, the newly arrived Governor Lofthauser, was looking at a few beautiful nobles from the Dvalina region

Their delicate postures, with the dance music on the stage next to the dance floor rotated at high speed, like rǔ swallows across the calm water, will be plump and full of posture, colorful costumes, charming posture, just the right display,

"This is a stunner."

Duke Lofthauser looked at these beautiful bodies with a dry and warm mouth, the slender and graceful girdle and the high part of the call, and his mind was already imagining these beautiful prey, the coquettish mō appearance when he cried under his crotch, especially one of the red-haired hot people from time to time took the opportunity of the dance partner to turn around, and hooked himself with a hot gaze, making his heart like a cat,

Naturally, these were also the handiwork of the enthusiastic and comfortable lieutenant governor,

In order to please this new boss, in order to be able to take the route of this boss from a wealthy family in Kyoto, Marquis Chubard, who is ambitiously moving towards a greater goal, can be said to have abandoned even his old book.

Among these beautiful and coquettish lovely, in addition to a few who were his lovers, there was also Lady Onafi, who was famous throughout the region of Dvalin, a well-known jiā uā, whose release had been famous since the death of her poor knightly husband in a battle with the Kujits,

Always have a happy attitude towards studying how to make men more durable and vigorous,

There is even a legend that this lady at one time announced in a high-profile manner that "the horse's ** can greatly improve the function of her male companion" and expressed great satisfaction with this discovery

"I hope this effort has not been in vain"

Seeing that the Duke of Lofthauser was completely drunk, and the Marquis of Chubard, who had been sitting in a more secret position, slowly let go of the heaviness in his heart, and felt that the money was worth it, and if the new official could be satisfied, his life could be saved

Ever since most of the lords of the three northern counties were arrested on charges of treason, the Marquis of Chubard had been in an inexplicable panic, and the strength of Kyoto had planted a deep fear in his heart.

The last time he fled from the battle, he was completely frightened, although His Majesty the King did not investigate and was concealed by him, but the newly appointed Minister of War, Prais, was not so easy to fool.

No one knows when, the army from Kyoto will savagely knock on their own big and send themselves into a prison that will never be able to come out, like those lords who have been arrested in advance, and then wait inside until they are old and stinky, or they will be directly chained with wooden shackles and let sinners stay in the secret room of their castle and starve to death.

This kind of torture is not uncommon in the law enforcement records of Ruierdian, and many lords punish those disobedient small farm owners in this way, because they died in their own homes, so even if someone asks about it, they can calmly say "This matter is just an oversight, how do I know that locking up limbs can also cause death"

Next to the dance floor, there are also six small round tables, each with four carved mahogany armchairs, and even with such a small number of seats, the guests are not filled.

Because in addition to Lofthauser's family, the only outsiders who participated in this birthday banquet were a few newly appointed lords of the three northern counties, including the new lord of the Argir region, the Marquis of Halle, and his henchman general Macchuka, as well as Lofthauser's own henchman general Pechea and his family.

Although the three northern counties are not the front line against the Dongting cavalry, after all, it is not far from the Bogert corridor where the Jī battle is being fought, and it can be said that it is within the scope of the military affairs department's troop transfer

"The arrest of the lords of the three northern counties was entirely initiated by the royal family in order to seize these materials"

In this situation, the birthday banquet of the new Governor Lofthauser naturally did not dare to be too public, so as not to attract everyone's attention and even bring himself an unfortunate fate.

You must know that the Minister of War Prais is known for his ruthlessness, and even though the list of personnel appointments that had just been passed through guò made the entire Parabun knights oppose it, and there were faint signs of refusing to go to the front to join the war, the tough Minister of War still went his own way, and finally used the crisis of the war situation and the urgency of the war as an excuse that His Majesty the King had to acquiesce to this list.

This undoubtedly caused a variety of conjectures to spread in the outside world, among which the nobles believed the most was that after being hit by many defeats, Haraus's sanity was already a little problematic.

It's a bit neurotic to deal with anything, even if it's a garlic thing, it will cause him to overreact, which is not without evidence.

Just three days ago, news came back from the Borgot cloister that a civilian officer named Tirango, while on his way to the front to take over the command of the army, had clashed with the commander of the Emilien region, the Marquis de León,

As a result, the Marquis of León, whose commander was also a local lord, immediately ordered that the entire family of the civilian officer of Tirango be reduced to slavery, and that he would never be able to turn over,

This undoubtedly touched the nerves of the Minister of War, Prais, and soon a law enforcement team from the Ministry of War surrounded the audacious marquis's house and threw him into prison

Of course, the real reason is well known,

That is, the wealth accumulated by the Leon family for decades made Prais, who was worried about the shortage of military spending, red-eyed, and now the kingdom's treasury is in a difficult situation, and the military expenditure is strictly insufficient. The fiscal deficit is staggering,

The resistance to the tax hike in various places is higher than the other, and of course he has to find an excuse to take the Leon family's land assets for himself.

Although the Marquis of Chai Bird does not think that his poor assets can be compared to the wealthy Leon family, but the number is also very considerable, and the three northern counties have become more and more important with the continuation of the war, if you don't want to follow in the footsteps of the Leon family, the best way is to find a backer in Kyoto

"Excuse me, are you the Vice-Governor Lord Chubard?"

Not far away, a middle-aged nobleman with a stern expression was walking towards him with a glass of red wine, compared to the tall body of the duke, this middle-aged nobleman looked much thinner.

But his body is very tough, and the jīng god is also very strong, and his eyes are bright in his sunken eyes. He is the chief executive sent from Kyoto this time, and he is the real Bo Anglin. That's a general term for the royal vassal family,

In Rui Erdian, the royal family also has vassals, of course, the role of these vassals is more to manage his direct territory on behalf of His Majesty of the Kingdom, and this middle-aged nobleman who came over is called Sarekel, one of the royal administrators,

He and his family have been serving the royal family of Raldian for one hundred and fifty years, and it is said that the ancestor was a descendant of a knight who died in battle to cover the king, although he was a vassal of the royal family.

"It's an honor to meet you here, Lord Sareker."

Chai Bird hurriedly got up, he knew that his identity as the deputy governor, in front of this pure Bo Anglin, was not worth a look at all, being able to see him had already made the Marquis of Chai Bird feel dizzy with honor, compared with the good governor, this is obviously more worthy of refuge, but because this lord has been dealing with dispatch affairs in Vano in the south of the northern county, he has never had the opportunity to take refuge

"Don't be so inhibited, I'm just a political officer who works for His Majesty the King."

There was a smile on the corner of Sareker's mouth, although he said it easily, but the arrogance on his face was clearly visible,

Although it is a vassal, it also depends on whose vassal it is not, and being able to be appointed by His Majesty the King as the administrative officer of the three northern counties shows the weight of this Sarekel in the king's heart, that is, those wealthy families in Kyoto, they dare not provoke him at will when they see him,

"I heard that Fort Dvalin once resisted the siege of 50,000 Kugits, so Master Chubard is truly a brave and fierce general, even the evil enemies have to flee far away."

The god of Sarelk sat down indifferently next to the Marquis of Chubrd, and talked with the newly rising kingdom star Jiā for a while, and suddenly his face sank, and he asked solemnly,

"Where, where, it was just a small victory"

Chai Bird responded with embarrassment, the big beads of sweat on his head rolled down, making his face look more and more pale, that battle has always been his heart disease, if someone else asks, Chai Bird will definitely be full of pride, eager to boast of himself as a fearless warrior, even in the face of the enemy's thousands of troops can smile and face the big man, but in front of this sharp gaze like lightning, I don't know how a chill appeared on his body that made Chai Bird chill,

"A small victory of 1,000 people against 50,000 people is only a small victory in the heart of Lord Chubard, so I don't know how many famous generals will be ashamed of it."

The corners of Sarelk's mouth smiled, and he was noncommittal about Chai Bod's answer, about that lying about the military situation, as the lieutenant of the royal guard, of course Sarelk, who knew what was going on,

It was a big lie at all, and it was only concealed because of the needs of the situation, and this time he had an important mission, so it was naturally impossible to let this kind of situation of lying about the military situation appear, and saying hello to this guy in advance was also a hint F
