Chapter 1186 Imperial Spring Wai (seeking monthly ticket)
At the end of February, the breeze blowing on the face is no longer cold, and the city of Ruman is also a spring scene.
Although the big trees on the street still look a little dry, if you take a closer look, you will find that the branches are covered with green buds. The grass has emerged from the ground more than an inch high, and it looks like a patch of grass from a distance.
Misty green.
Girls on the streets have already taken off their thick winter clothes and put on thin spring clothes that highlight their youthfulness. Amidst the giggles, the skirts of their skirts flutter in the spring breeze.
Ruman City, the largest city on the mainland and the center of hundreds of millions of imperial people, seemed to have awakened from a deep hibernation and seemed extremely lively. Even the footsteps of pedestrians on the road were three minutes faster than in winter.
This is the best time of the year.
Although a war against Haddu was launched last year, although there is still a large army gathered in the north, half a million red stick thugs... er, the loyal and brave imperial soldiers are ready to go, just waiting for the order, everyone will attack again
He raised bricks and slapped the barbarian's big face fiercely. But in Ruman City, no impact of the war could be seen.
Just through this small detail, you can clearly see how powerful this empire is.
There was a picture of peace everywhere with singing and dancing birds, and the nobles couldn't wait to start activities such as spring outings, hunting trips, outings, picnics and so on.
Even the royal family is not exempt from vulgarity.
Early in the morning, the Rumain Royal Guards lined up to support them. Three thousand elite Guards cavalry were dressed in bright armor that could make people's silhouettes shine. They were holding long spears with triangular flags in their hands. They lined up neatly.
The procession slowly passed through the street in front of the Royal Palace in Ruman City.
Under the escort of the Royal Guards cavalry, there were hundreds of carriages filled with high-ranking officials and dignitaries. In the eyes of the people watching on both sides of the road, the cars and famous horses in front of them were enough to open an exhibition of the world's luxury cars and horses.
Bentley, Aston Martin, Porsche, Mercedes-Benz, BMW, Cadillac, Rolls-Royce, Maserati...
You can see all the luxury cars of different years and models from the Flying Eagle Group here. Occasionally, there are also a few specially customized commemorative editions or extended and widened RV models.
It even includes some models outsourced by Feiying Company, such as Asan's Land Rover.
The noble family crests on the carriage shells are dazzling and dazzling. They include almost all animals and plants with good images.
Royal bloodline can use the golden eagle.
Representatives of brave aristocratic families often use brave lions and tigers, as well as swifts and doves.
Families with noble bloodlines often use plants as their family emblems, such as oaks, pine trees, roses, tulips, plum blossoms, etc.
Those kinds of family crests put together are enough to open an ecological garden.
And the horses that pull the cart are all heroic and extraordinary. The Akhal Tekin horses from the East, the Trakna horses from Hallan, the Galloway horses from Sabana, the Appaloosa horses from America...
The most common among them is the famous thoroughbred horse from Aberdeen, pure white or pure black, with shiny coat and spotless hair. It shines in bursts of light in the sun.
In the middle of the huge motorcade was the car of Emperor Rumain, Rudelun II. It was a carriage handmade by royal craftsmen.
The whole vehicle is extremely wide. It has six wheels and is pulled by eight pure black horses.
Twenty-five people can sit there for a meeting at a time. There are not only tables, wine cabinets and other furniture in the car, but also a small flower room at the very back of the car, with some beautiful plants in it.
After work, the Supreme Being can take a walk in the house and rest happily.
It feels as comfortable as being at home. Of course, this home does not refer to ordinary people's homes. It refers to his old man's palace in the center of the city.
Behind the ranks of the Praetorian Guards were thousands of young riders, both men and women, dressed in hunting attire.
Wearing flexible hunting attire, carrying weapons and bows and arrows, they talked and laughed loudly in the envious eyes of passers-by, with unconcealable excitement and excitement in their tone.
Even Miss Jiao, who is usually so delicate that she seems to be blown away by a gust of wind, is now carrying a bow and an arrow, full of heroic spirit, her cheeks are flushed with excitement, and her eyes are shining. She has the aura of a heroine.
Among the team, there were more numerous types of hounds, which were running back and forth among the riders, barking "bark, woof, woof, woof".
These are all the most loyal assistants and will bring the greatest help to their master during hunting.
In addition to them, there are also several nobles who carry another ferocious animal - the eagle.
On their arms were thick deerskin gloves, and the ferocious falcons were perched on them.
As soon as these people joined in, they immediately became the focus of the crowd, and the expressions on their faces were even more arrogant. They all squinted their eyes and curled their mouths, looking at those who could only play with dogs with disdain.
They are all the youngest and most talented children from noble families. The hunting every spring is also the time they look forward to the most and the time when their competition is the most intense.
Just like male peacocks show off their beautiful tails, these young nobles also try their best to show off their skills in the hunting grounds, not only to have a good time, but also to show off their skills in front of girls in order to win beauties.
of joy.
And...this is the most crucial thing...if you can leave a good impression on the emperor or important ministers, it will naturally be of great help to your future future.
Although those young people who cannot stand out in the competition cannot be said to be without talent, they cannot win the favor of the emperor and senior officials. They can only follow the steps step by step, and there is no shortcut.
In short, this is the first carnival for the nobles of Ruman City at the beginning of the year. Everyone regards it as a top priority, and the corresponding one is of course the autumn hunt.
Large-scale hunting twice a year is a tradition maintained by the royal family of the Ruman Empire for a thousand years, which advocates martial arts.
The hunting team left the city before noon, spent one day walking a hundred miles, camped on the roadside at night, and then walked the remaining one hundred miles the next day. Only then did they arrive at the royal hunting ground at the foot of the mountain.
The nobles will hunt here for beasts such as bears or leopards that are hungry after sleeping all winter.
Of course, those elegant ladies would also hold bows and arrows to shoot at small animals such as deer and rabbits.
If they meet a lovely man, maybe they will hold a knife in their delicate and cute little hands, peel off the skin of those poor animals, and then sew a shawl or something and send it over to express their love.
Although this is a bit cruel to those small animals, the nobles of the Ruman Empire advocate force and are ruthless, and they have never been weaklings who only eat hard work.
Otherwise, they would have been overthrown long ago with a history of a thousand years.
When they arrived at the Royal Hunting Ground the next day, the peaceful Royal Hunting Ground was filled with excitement and chaos.
Tens of thousands of tents surrounded the royal hunting grounds from three sides. From the day the safari started, dogs barking and wild beasts roared constantly from the forest.
The topics discussed by the nobles were who shot a grizzly bear, who caught a few wild boars, and who captured a leopard alive.
Of course, if some unlucky guy gets injured while hunting, or falls off his horse and breaks his leg, he will become the laughingstock of everyone this year.

A ferocious wild boar, being chased by more than a dozen Guards cavalry, dashed left and right in a panic, charging towards uninhabited areas.
When it passed through the bushes, several figures suddenly appeared on the opposite side. One of them raised the double-barreled shotgun in his hand, pointed it at the wild boar and pulled the trigger.
A loud "bang" gunshot echoed in the forest, and the wild boar plunged to the ground. It rolled several times because of its excessive speed, and finally lay on the ground and twitched a few times before dying.
"Your Majesty's marksmanship is superb~!" Prime Minister Russell, who was also dressed in hunting attire, complimented.
Emperor Rudelun put down the shotgun in his hand and waved his hand to disperse the gun smoke in front of him. He first smiled with satisfaction, then his face tightened and he said: "No, no, no, using a shotgun doesn't feel like using a bow and arrow before. It's too simple.
It’s not good and can easily breed laziness among young people.”
Several nobles following the emperor loudly claimed that they were flattering the emperor.
Russell smiled slightly and said: "Your Majesty, you are absolutely right, young people should exercise more."
But I couldn't stop laughing secretly in my heart. This emperor was not good at using bows and arrows when he was young. It would be good if he could shoot ten or two arrows and hit the target. Before there were hunting rifles, most of the hunting time every year was spent sitting and watching.
As soon as he picked up the shotgun, he forgot about his roots and started pretending to be 13. If he was really asked to pick up the bow and arrow again, this old guy might just pretend to have a stomachache and then escape.
Just as he was secretly cursing, Emperor Rudelun had already taken a few steps forward and looked at his prey, with a proud look on his face. Although the shot did not hit the target, after the bullet penetrated the body,
The huge damage caused by rolling on the ground still killed the wild boar in one fell swoop.
It seems that this gun is good and I can play it often in the future.
He waved his hand boldly and said: "Take it back and let Lucy cook a pot of braised pork tonight. Russell, you can come too."
"Yes, Your Majesty." Russell said calmly.
The nobles behind the emperor couldn't help but have expressions of envy on their faces. They couldn't be in front of Rudrun twice a year, but for Russell, eating with the emperor had become a daily routine.
Russell coughed lightly and glanced back at the followers of the ministers behind him. They wisely stopped and stayed away from the emperor and Prime Minister Russell.
"Your Majesty, the Marquis of Maleton sent a telegram again today to urge you." Russell said with a distressed expression: "Do you want to reply to him?"
Emperor Rudrun also frowned and said: "My dear Prime Minister, why are you always like a crow? Can't you not mention these troublesome things when I am happy?"
Prime Minister Russell helplessly spread his hands and said: "I don't want to either, Your Majesty, but he is pushing too hard. In the past few days, one letter was sent every day, and in the past two days, it has been changed to one letter every half a day. If he continues like this, he will
A telegram is sent every two hours."
Emperor Rudelun raised the corner of his mouth in distress, and said helplessly: "Can't this guy get some advice? He doesn't know what it means if I don't reply?"
Russell smiled bitterly and said: "I have already mentioned it to him informally, but Marquis Marreton... you also know that he is quite rigid and insists on getting His Majesty's written order. Otherwise, he will
…”
Emperor Rudrun said warily: "What is he planning to do?"
"Prepare to command the Northern Army Group to attack Oldham." Russell said and couldn't help but sigh.
The situation now is nothing like before.
Originally he advocated the attack, but now that the enemy was too powerful, he was somewhat repelled. However, the generals in front were reluctant to start a war at first, but now they are as if they have taken gunpowder and are trying their best to ask for a fight.
"Squeak!" Emperor Rudelun smacked his tongue and said, "This stubborn guy."
Emperor Rudelun frowned and hesitated for a moment, then said: "Can you guarantee that the situation in the north will not escape our control?"
Prime Minister Russell said without thinking: "No~!"
Emperor Rudelun looked at the Prime Minister in surprise and said, "My dear Prime Minister, that's not what you told me a few days ago. Why did you suddenly change your mind?"
Prime Minister Russell shook his head and said: "Your Majesty, what I am saying is that we can ensure that the dark mage does not escape our surveillance. At present, our message route in front is very efficient, and their every move is under our surveillance."
Emperor Rudelun pondered for a moment and said worriedly: "Will they suddenly become powerful and become a big trouble for us?"
"I can't guarantee this." Prime Minister Russell thought for a moment, and then said seriously, "But Your Majesty, haven't our strategies already been set?
To divert the trouble to the west, let them fight to the death with the barbarians in the mountains first."
"I know that." Emperor Rudelun nodded and said, "But I'm worried that they won't dance with our command."
Russell smiled confidently and said: "If they don't come, I will force them to go. My agents have already started making arrangements for this."
"Arrangement?" Emperor Rudelun asked doubtfully.
"Yes, you know.
Although they built the city of Aldheim and radiated a wide area, the northern mountainous area was too big.
In fact, they only occupy less than one-fifth of the barbarians' territory and less than one-tenth of the population." Prime Minister Russell said confidently: "My agents have already spread the secrets in other areas, especially in neighboring areas.
The news about Dehem and the undead army encouraged them to fight against the undead army."
Emperor Rudelun was moved in his heart and asked hurriedly: "Can it succeed?"
"Yes, Your Majesty." Russell nodded affirmatively and said, "Instigating two barbarian tribal leaders to drive their tribesmen to die. In fact, it doesn't cost much?"
Emperor Rudrun asked curiously: "How did you do it?"
"It's just a small courtyard of 300 square meters in Ruman City." Russell said with a leisurely smile.
Emperor Rudelun opened his mouth in surprise, then shook his head with a smile and said: "It's hard to imagine that someone would betray his own people for tens of thousands of gold coins."
"How is that possible?" Russell shrugged and said casually: "I won't even give him these tens of thousands of gold coins. Houses in Ruman City are a hot commodity right now."
Rudrun looked at his Prime Minister in confusion.
Russell Hexi smiled and said plainly: "A polished commander who has lost all his subordinates is of no use to us."
They were both thick and sophisticated politicians. Emperor Rudelun instantly understood that after betraying his own people, the unlucky patriarch was no longer of use and would be taken to Ruman by Russell, somewhere unknown.
Kill the famous corner with one knife to save the money to bribe him.
Russell sighed and said: "Although that idiot Gore is no match for Lorraine, in the Northern Intelligence Department, he did more than just drink, smuggle, and play with female secretaries. His achievements in this area are worthy of recognition."
Rudrun glanced at him keenly and knew in his heart: His prime minister was sparing no effort to give his subordinates a good reputation.
But he just smiled and didn't care. As an emperor, he knew clearly that he couldn't expect every one of his subordinates to do well. In fact, four-fifths of the guys were just dawdling.
If you don't wipe their butts for them, you are already burning a candle to the imperial family.
At this time, Russell continued to say: "Our people will encourage the clan leaders to gather their own teams to fight the dark mages.
Once the barbarian attack starts, the undead tribe will definitely fight back. As long as we fan the air below, we can set the entire mountainous area on fire, and then..."
Emperor Rudrun and Russell smiled knowingly at the same time. It was a wonderful feeling to watch their enemies defeat both sides.
Then, all the Rumans need to do is descend from the sky, and when the brains of the people they fight turn into dog brains, they can deal with both sides at the same time.
This is not the first time that the Ruman people have done this kind of work. They killed Hadou in this way.
Emperor Rudrun smiled and shook his head, then patted Russell on the shoulder with approval and said: "My dear Prime Minister, what would I do without you."
Prime Minister Russell bowed humbly and said: "This is all under your wise leadership, Your Majesty."
"But how should I reply to Maleton?" Emperor Rudelun was a little worried and said, "That guy doesn't know how to adapt at all."
Russell rolled his eyes and said, "Just tell him and let him discuss it with Lorraine. I think he will understand."
Emperor Rudelun nodded with satisfaction, clapped his hands and said, "That's it."
In this way, not only can Lorraine be blamed for sitting back and watching the undead destroy the barbarian clan, but he can also save himself a lot of headaches by letting him deal with the stubborn general.
Emperor Rudelun laughed with satisfaction. Although he didn't have a lot of things to do today, he successfully solved a difficult problem. It was also better than having thousands of things to do every day.
After finishing the business, it should be time for your own entertainment.
He reloaded the shotgun and ordered to the guards beside him: "Go, drive a bear for me this time. Remember to look for a few more. Lucy has always wanted a bearskin blanket, and in my study
The side of Rihardux’s ring is too monotonous. It would be better to have a bear head to decorate it.”(!~!
