When he walked out of the Wolf Fang Army's barracks, Rody's inner worries were finally swept away. After bidding farewell to Commander Gordon, Gordon led his people back to the palace to return his orders, while Rody rode a horse and walked slowly on the streets of the imperial capital alone.
Because he was wearing the noble warrior uniform and his extraordinary handsome appearance came from the Tulip family, Roddy attracted the attention of many people on the street. Even the soldiers from the security station who passed by in formation from time to time saluted him.
The streets of the imperial capital are no longer as bustling as they used to be, and there seem to be fewer people in the taverns and teahouses. Rody suddenly felt a little tired and a little bored. He randomly found a roadside tavern and walked in.
Tomorrow, tomorrow he will go to the battlefield! And I am just a young boy who has just grown up! He knew clearly that this was a trap laid by His Majesty the Emperor, waiting for him to step on it. He knew clearly that far to the northwest was the famous and fierce prairie knight from the mainland. He knew clearly that the enemy's commander was the famous cunning murderer of the prairie alien race. Demon King Reuenthar. But in the face of this, Roddy had no room to escape. He could only be pushed forward step by step by fate...
Although the business in the tavern is deserted, this is after all the most prosperous city in the continent - the imperial capital. There are always some guests. It's just that these guests seemed to be whispering to each other in twos and threes. Rody listened attentively. Most of what they talked about was the war in the northwest.
Obviously, yesterday in the palace hall, His Majesty the Emperor publicly asked the northwest officer to tell the story of the military defeat, and the news of the defeat quickly spread from the palace - there is nothing in this world that spreads faster than bad news. thing
Of course, it is obvious that most of those diners are hearsay, and most of them are relatives of so-and-so who work as servants in a certain noble family, and the "most reliable news" they overheard is often when a guest at the table tells something about a certain person. After "the most reliable news", several people will immediately surround you, and these news have often been spread beyond recognition. Some say that the news of the defeat is simply false. The great empire has an elite army of 200,000 in the northwest, and it is impossible to be defeated by the aliens on the grasslands. Some say that the 200,000-strong army in the northwest has been completely wiped out, and that the killer king Reuenthar in the northwest piled the heads of the imperial soldiers into countless towers of heads more than ten meters high - the person who told this news kept saying it He said that this was seen by one of his relatives from the northwest. Some people are even alarmingly saying that the cavalry from the grassland aliens will arrive in the imperial capital in a few days...
After hearing this, Rody didn't know whether to laugh or cry. The public is often easily deceived. Regardless of whether these news are true or false, the depression in the market and the grim and gloomy expressions on the faces of pedestrians are real.
The number of people gathered in the temple in the imperial capital was several times greater than before. It turns out that even civilians who are not very firm in their faith have now become the most devout believers of God. They sincerely pray to the Almighty God to bless the Empire of Light to defeat foreign invaders and protect the people who believe in God... And the huge one in the religious temple The donation box was quickly filled with money from civilians who were willing to show their piety to God...
Looking at these confused civilians, Rody felt complicated. If it were him a few months ago, he would probably be just like these civilians, full of confusion and...a trace of fear before the war. But at this moment, he, who was fully aware of the situation, was under greater pressure than these civilians who knew nothing about the war. Which of these two feelings is happier
Rody couldn't help but raise his head and take a sip of wine. The spicy and inferior wine in ordinary taverns made him cough violently - he had never been to a tavern, he was a poor boy in the past, and he had no money to spend in a tavern.
"How can you drink this kind of thing! I really don't understand why so many people like to drink. This thing is spicy and bitter. What's so good about it?" After all, Rody was a young man at heart. He threw down a gold coin and strode out. When he entered the tavern, he was completely unaware that the other guests behind him were looking at him with various responsible looks.
"That guy seems to be a noble... or a samurai."
"Humph, you are mistaken. I think he is an officer! Didn't you see the badge of the Central Cavalry Regiment on his body?"
"Oh, the tragedy of the empire. Before the war, these soldiers did not go to fight to defend their homeland, but they came here to drink..."
Rody felt a hint of bitterness in his mouth. When these words fell on his ears, he couldn't help but feel a little irritable in his heart!
Why! Why should I bear all this!
Rody jumped on his horse and galloped down the street with his whip whipped high. Not only did the patrolling police officers on the street not dare to stop him, but they all moved out of the way when they saw the badge on Rody's chest.
Where can you go to make yourself more relaxed
Immediately, Roddy thought of Nicole. Thinking of Nicole's charming face and gentle eyes, Roddy couldn't help but feel a little sweet in his heart, but then he gave up the idea of going home to see Nicole immediately - since he didn't tell Andy what he said Nicole just didn't want Nicole to worry and worry with him. After all, even if she knew, she couldn't change anything.
His mind was in turmoil, but the horse was still running. He didn't know whether it was a coincidence that the horse was walking randomly, or whether he was controlling the direction of the horse subconsciously. Anyway, when Roddy looked up, he found that he had arrived in front of a familiar building...
The pretty red embroidered jade arms, as well as the bursts of vocal music coming from inside, made Roddy stunned. Isn't this the cave we visited last time? Speaking of which, it was because I came here with Bayan and those guys that time and ended up beating up the envoys of Dayue Kingdom that I was arrested by His Majesty the Emperor and shouldered such a heavy burden!
Rody was stunned for a few minutes, and a beautiful but indifferent face flashed in his mind. He dismounted from his horse inexplicably, and then strode in.
Ms. Shafei immediately welcomed her out. People in their profession come from all walks of life, from wealthy businessmen like nouveau riche to nobles who can access the palace. Sophie had long heard that this playboy had been canonized as the new generation of Tulip Grand Duke by His Majesty the Emperor. This time, he was even more energetic and used 200% enthusiasm. Rody didn't allow her to say anything more, and simply said: "I want to see Miss Miu Ge."
Ms. Shafei was so good at observing people's emotions. Seeing that Rody's face seemed to be in a bad mood, she didn't dare to ask any more questions. She just took Rody to the side hall where they went last time. When Roddy reached the stairs, he suddenly stopped. Deep down in his heart, he really didn't want to see Miao Ge in the side hall where he was buying a smile.
In his mind, he didn't regard Miao Ge as a promiscuous woman at all. The appearance of Miao Ge that day left him with a cold, noble and gorgeous image, which was actually very different from the usual promiscuous woman in his mind.
Rody stopped and said calmly: "Take me directly to her room."
Ms. Sophie was stunned for a moment, wondering why this young master always came up with new tricks every time he came. Just when she was about to say something more, Roddy's eyes widened slightly, and she was so frightened that she immediately closed her mouth and quickly led the way.
Tulip Duke, just these few words can crush her to death!
Rody walked behind with satisfaction, with a hint of malicious joy in his heart: This feeling of power is really good.
