Chapter 306 Preparations before departure (Part 1)
Emperor Rulund suddenly remembered an important matter related to the future of the empire, and said: "By the way, Nicole, will Leo follow you to Naian?"
Catherine thought for a moment and said: "Yes, Your Majesty, Leo is not too old or too young now. He makes trouble all day long, chasing dogs and chasing chickens.
I really don't feel comfortable leaving him in the hands of those tutors, and my father doesn't have time, so I have to discipline him."
Rulunde had obviously been harassed a lot by the little gangster during this period, and he couldn't help but smile bitterly.
Catherine paused for a moment, then continued: "Besides, Leo and Lorraine have also learned a lot of skills. Even though they are still young, they already have a lot of property in their hands."
Emperor Rulund shook his head and said: "This boy's ability to hold things is getting better and better. In this case, places like Nai'an are no safer than here, or Maple Leaf Danlin. Places like that..."
He pondered for a moment and said: "There are too many uncivilized savages. For the safety of you and Leo, I'd better arrange a large group of guards to protect you two."
A large group consists of a thousand people. These are all Praetorian Guards, and they are extremely well-equipped. Each person has at least two horses.
Lorraine knew that the Ruman Empire was founded on war, and the Imperial Guards were not just those Eight Banners disciples who carried caged birds. The gatekeepers were all selected according to extremely high standards. They serve as elite troops and general reserves.
used by the team.
When the Almohad Empire's General Hadou led his army to invade, the imperial army was retreating steadily. At the critical moment, it was this elite force that stepped forward to turn the tide. Under General Hadou's violent attack,
, resisted forcefully, restored the situation of the battle, and waited until the reinforcements led by the Grand Duke Julius arrived.
When Catherine heard that the emperor was so generous, she was very happy and said: "Thank you, Your Majesty. I originally wanted to transfer some more guards from my father, but this is really great~"
Lorraine was also secretly happy.
He knows that once these people are under his command, they will not only obey his command, but even better, because they are royal guards, they do not have to pay their own wages. This kind of good thing can be picked up on the road.
Like a big wallet.
Emperor Rulunde smiled slightly and said: "As long as you are happy, then I will be happy."
He turned to look at Lorraine and said: "Lorraine, listen up, these guards are for Nicole and Leo, not for you. In Nai'an, I don't care what you do.
, but you must ensure the safety of Nicole and Leo. Also, since these people are following you, you should pay all their expenses, you are not short of money."
Lorraine was immediately stunned. Only then did he realize that as long as money matters were involved, even the emperor was extremely cunning.
But then he felt relieved. Even though it cost some money, it didn't matter. After all, they were a group of elite warriors, and they still made money. Besides, even if they didn't listen to his command, they didn't want to listen to Catherine and Lei.
Ou's command? And whose command did those two people listen to?
Lorraine couldn't help laughing when she thought of this, and said cheerfully: "I obey, Your Majesty. Don't worry. I hereby promise you with the honor of a nobleman that I will never let Catherine and Leo suffer in the slightest."
Dangerous."
"Okay~! This is what you said." Emperor Julunde nodded and said: "Nicole can go to Count Salang of the Guards at any time and ask him to pick someone for you. Okay, I'm going to take a lunch break.
Now, Nicole will take Lorraine around here casually, and when everything is fine, she will bring Leo to see me more often."
As he spoke, he stood up,
Catherine also stood up hurriedly and said: "Okay, Your Majesty, Leo has been running to the palace recently. Didn't you see him?"
Emperor Rulunde was stunned for a moment, then smiled and shook his head, muttering to himself: "I mean, why are so many little things suddenly missing? Even the koi in the lake are missing a lot."
After saying that, he waved his hand and left.
Seeing Emperor Julund disappear behind the door, Catherine turned her head, smiled brightly at Lorraine, kicked Lorraine under the table, and said: "Can you enter my house? I'll see below.
It’s up to you.”
Lorraine smiled bitterly in her heart: It's like I'm marrying you. It's you who enters my house, okay?
Four cities, such a big piece of land, I went there to renovate it, thinking it was the American West. I just hired a few gangsters on the street, spent a few small coins, and used some wine, glasses, etc.
Can you bribe a few chiefs, and then bring your younger brothers to the land, and then you can capture hundreds of thousands of acres of land?
But even at that time, those despicable scoundrels still had to do it themselves, go up and scalp the Indians, and play bloody hell.
But Lorraine also knew that once it was revealed, Catherine Longyan would be furious, and she would definitely not get any good results.
Therefore, he bit the bullet and still looked confident on the surface. He patted his chest and vowed: "You will wait to retire in Lorraine Castle from now on."
In order not to let the few people in the family miss it, Lorraine and Catherine hurriedly got into the carriage and set off home after lunch.
Lorraine and Catherine returned home. As soon as they walked in the door, they saw a huge chaos in the hall, and they didn't know what they were doing.
While the two were wondering, they heard a crisp sound of breaking glass not far away, which startled them both.
Lorraine looked intently and saw a colorful pheasant smashing through a luxurious Willings glass window next to it. While screaming loudly in horror, it flapped its wings desperately and flew diagonally.
aside.
Lorraine looked at the flight path of the pheasant and felt strange. Why did the chicken twist and turn when flying? Could it be that it had watched "Top Gun" and wanted to do flying stunts?
After the chicken flew by, Lorraine noticed that half of the gorgeous long feathers on the pheasant's butt had been plucked out, leaving a bright red blood stain, which looked extremely miserable.
Before he could recover, he heard a loud cry unique to a child: "Don't run, stop it quickly, I have to pluck all its fur today~"
Immediately afterwards, I saw a short shadow rushing out of the room.
The little man came to the door and was startled when he saw Catherine. After blinking his big black and white eyes, he let out an "Oh~" sound in his throat, then turned around and ran away.
Catherine sneered, then took a quick step forward, reached out and grabbed his collar, and lifted the man up with great skill. She said in a cold voice: "Why are you running?"
The little man was carried by her delicate hands and turned around half a circle in mid-air involuntarily. Then he turned his head. Seeing Catherine's pink face covered with frost, her almond-shaped eyes wide open and looking murderous, he couldn't help but
She shivered, and then said with a playful smile: "Nicole, you're back. I was talking about going to the palace to look for... to look for... ah~ ah~ ah sneeze"
When he said this, a pheasant feather stuck to his nose got into his nostril. It was so itchy that he immediately closed his eyes and sneezed loudly.
He rubbed his little nose nonchalantly, and then continued: "I still have to go to the palace to find you~!"
Catherine shouted angrily: "How long have I been gone? You are here again causing trouble."
As she spoke, she patted Leo's little body covered with chicken feathers vigorously.
As she slapped her, a burst of plush stuff flew around, making her almost choked and unable to breathe.
Leo screamed in pain under her slaps and said, "Nicole, please be gentle, be gentle, do you want to hurt me to death?"
After Catherine became angry, she slapped his butt a few times and said: "Shut up~! Shut up~! Are you still reasonable? What's going on with that chicken?"
Leo bared his little white teeth, smiled, and said, "It's nothing. When Melina and I were wandering around the palace, we saw that the chicken was quite beautiful, so we caught it casually."
Catherine froze and was so angry that she couldn't speak, and she was about to slap him a few more times.
At this time, Leo continued to say: "I think the feathers on the tail are very pretty. I want to pluck them out and give them to you. When the time comes, you can put them in your hat. They will definitely look better."
After hearing what he said, Catherine knew that the little ruffian was trying to flatter her indiscriminately, but the slap she raised high could not fall down. In the end, she just lightly patted him twice.
Put him down.
After Leo landed on the ground, he stretched out his fat little paws while Catherine was not paying attention, and proudly made a 'V' sign to Lorraine.
Lorraine couldn't help but smile bitterly. This little gangster's skills are really getting better and better.
Seeing that Catherine was still a little angry, Leo rolled his eyes and hurriedly changed the topic, saying: "By the way, didn't you go to the palace today? How is the situation? Have you got the appointment?"
Lorraine smiled, then raised the appointment certificate in his hand. Leo looked at the purple ribbon that represented the supreme, and immediately let out a cheer.
He danced and said: "Great, I will order my men now, the Nai'an Province strategy mission has officially started~!"
Lorraine and Catherine entered the hall.
Adele and everyone else had also received the news and rushed over one after another.
As soon as Adele entered the door, she immediately came to Lorraine, kissed him gently, and said: "This is really great. We can finally go to Nai'an. I heard that the local elves
Each one of them is a talented dancer, and when the time comes, we can have a good exchange with them."
Hilmeria also said gently: "Congratulations, Lorraine."
Lorena shook her head, and then said maliciously; "The youngest governor of the empire, these rotten women and resentful women in Ruman City have new targets. Nicole, Del, you two must watch Lorraine."
It’s strict.”
Adele smiled softly and said pointedly: "Except for those yellow-haired girls who seem to be able to guard against others, I don't care about them anymore, right? Lorraine."
Luo Linna said: "Don't get involved with me, you two are the only ones here who regard this boy as a treasure."
Looking at the sharp eyes of Catherine and Adele beside him, Lorraine said cheerfully: "That's the rotten girls and resentful women, the most annoying ones. Okay, go in, let's go to the lounge to celebrate."
In the lounge, Catherine ordered someone to open a few bottles of good wine, and everyone celebrated together.
Catherine and Adele were the happiest. They took Lorraine to drink one glass after another. Soon their faces turned red and they were so cute.
Leo also took advantage of Catherine not paying attention to him, drank two glasses of wine along with Melina, and drank secretly.
Leo took a small taste, pretended to be an expert, and said to Melina: "The taste is okay."
Milena looked at Leo and giggled, covering her mouth.
A hand was put on Leo's shoulder from behind. Leo was startled and shouted: "I didn't drink secretly."
"What did you say?" Vera poked her head from behind Leo and said.
Leo turned around and saw that it was Vera. He patted his small chest and said, "Vera, if you scare someone, you will scare them to death. Can you tell me first?"
Vera wrinkled her nose and said: "You secretly drank again. Forget it, I have a question for you, how big an official is the Governor?"
Leochi said: "You don't even know this? Let's put it this way, when we get to Nai'an, even if we go to the streets to grab things, no one will dare to come to us."
Vera exclaimed and said, "Wouldn't that make you rich?"
Lorraine came from behind at this time and grabbed Vera back. He knew that Vera was a silly girl who was deceived by Leo. She really dared to go to the street to rob her. Lorraine said: "Don't listen to that kid's nonsense, stay with us."
Lorraine Castle is no different, except that the area under its control is larger."
"Oh~" Vera said in disappointment.
Looking at Vera's pitiful look, Lorraine shook her head and said, "But it's much easier to make money. Can you invest in Leo? The return is guaranteed."
Leo's eyes lit up, he put on the smile of a professional insurance man, and said, "That's right, Sister Vera, can we set up a joint venture company?"
Lorraine shook her head. Hilmeria walked up to Lorraine with a wine glass. Her face was also flushed. She looked up at Lorraine and said: "Congratulations, Lorraine. When I was in the academy, I just
Seeing you looking so tired, who would have thought of today."
Lorraine smelled the warm fragrance coming from Hilmeria's body and said, "Thank you."
Hilmeria snorted and said: "As long as you know, I will return to Maple Leaf Danlin in a few days. In a few months, I will give you a surprise."
Lorraine smiled and said: "What is that?"
Hilmeria smiled and said, "I won't tell you, I'll find out when we get there."
The news that Lorraine was appointed governor of Naian spread throughout Ruman City in just half a day.
The first reaction of the dignitaries and traffickers in Ruman City when they heard the news was, who is Lorraine?
All the past imperial governors were well-known figures. Take Lorraine's predecessor, Marquis Maredon, for example. He had real power in his hands and had great achievements. He was well-known in Ruman City and the north of the empire. He was a household name in Ruman City.
figure.
As for the name Lorraine, except for those big shots, this was the first time that everyone heard it.
The Ruman people, whose gossip was raging, began to kill Lorraine. From the big shots who knew Lorraine, the news came out bit by bit.
Only the Ruman people knew that it was the 250 who once fought against the dragon and the lich. When the Ruman people heard this rumor, they thought it was a story in a knight's novel.
No one has ever taken this rumor seriously, and no one knows the protagonist of this story, Lorraine. In the story, Lorraine was unfortunately passed over by a guy like that guy, the code name of Song Bingyi.
Already.
Now the people of Ruman City suddenly realized that this story was actually true, and there really were two hundred and fifty people who were not afraid of death. No wonder he could be the governor, he seemed to be a powerful character.
The next news is that this guy Lorraine is the eldest princess's love interest. The people of Ruman City suddenly realized again, no wonder he can be the governor, he turned out to be a super powerful character.
As for Lorraine's achievements in Maple Leaf Danlin and his achievements in the expedition to Almohad, they did not attract much interest from the Ruman people because of the lack of entertainment.
The young men in Ruman City are either envious or jealous. Most of them think that this boy Lorraine just hugged the pretty face of the eldest princess's thick legs and climbed to the sky in one step. If it were him, maybe... he would definitely be able to do much better than him.
The young woman in Ruman City has much more ideas. It is really not interesting for such an outstanding pretty girl to be hidden by Catherine.
Fortunately, it's not too late now. There are still several days before that boy takes office. The sisters take action and must have a taste of that pretty boy. It seems that the pretty boy has been to the rose garden and was caught and raped by Catherine. It seems that he is too
He's not a dull person, so it's not difficult to hook him.
Lorraine didn't know it yet, but in just a short time, he had been noticed by others, and they still wanted to eat him. Even if Lorraine knew about it, he would only dare to secretly rejoice in his heart.
In the lounge, Catherine was already a bit drunk from drinking Adele. Adele was lying in Lorraine's arms, listening to Catherine talk about what happened in the palace today, and cursed Russell.
After Leo heard that Emperor Julunde would equip him with a thousand guardsmen, he rolled his eyes and said with a sly smile: "Uncle Emperor, does he agree with me to select my own guards?"
Catherine hummed for a long time and said, "It seems so."
Leo laughed and said, "Boss, do you still remember that arrogant guy when we were at your house?"
Lorraine said: "Oh, remember, he looked like he was a baron or something. I forgot, there is no need to remember a name for an NPC with no plot."
Leo snorted and said: "I remember that, Boduoqi, the captain of the Fifth Brigade of the Guards. I had agreed to transfer him to my staff and clean the toilet for me every day. I really took the opportunity. I
Of course I won't let him go, I want those guys who need to be dealt with to know that I hold a grudge, young master."
Luo Linna said: "You don't feel ashamed. As the heir to the throne, you have to argue with a squad leader. If the news spreads, you won't be laughed at."
