When the Luke family was secretly planning, Moore also sent a letter out of the city. Forty miles north of Merlin City, there was a town called Lennon. On a windy and snowy day, the town seemed unusually quiet.
The smoke showed that there were still people alive. In this town, there were nearly 5,000 royal troops hidden, of which more than 2,000 were cavalry.
According to the previously agreed upon plan, as long as the heavy snow stops, we can directly attack Merlin City. The person responsible for the surprise attack on Merlin City this time is a noble captain from the Senate, whose real name is Gao Leide, also known as Earl Gaode. Gao De.
Reid kept cursing the bad weather above his head, and drank liquor from the porcelain pot intermittently, "This kind of bad weather can freeze people into popsicles. If you don't drink some wine, you will feel uncomfortable all over."
"Isn't that right? We are freezing here, but the third prince is hiding in the city and enjoying the happiness. It seems that he is not a close friend or not." Another centurion also complained. Goldred pretended not to hear, and was not satisfied with this.
I commented. As evening approached, the cold wind abated a bit. The door was pushed open, and gusts of cold wind mixed with snowflakes floated into the room. Suddenly everyone was shivering from the cold.
The person who came was none other than Moore's trusted guard. When he saw Goled, he quickly took out the wax-sealed letter and said, "Lord Goled, this is an autographed letter from the third prince."
After opening the letter and just looking at it twice, Gaulede was shocked. How could a well-planned plan be leaked? Gaulede had participated in the Eastern Expedition and was well aware of the dangers of marching in windy and snowy weather, especially for cavalry, not to mention cavalry.
It is suitable for marching in the wind and snow. But when he thinks of Moore's identity, he has to grit his teeth and obey the orders. He is the son of Mattai. If he refuses to save him, then he, Gorred, will definitely not survive. "Notice
Go down, after midnight tomorrow, regardless of whether the wind and snow have stopped, we will all march to the destination of Merlin City. We must arrive at the outskirts of Merlin City by the end of the day. The third prince is in trouble."
"The Third Prince is in trouble?" Some people originally wanted to raise objections, but as soon as they heard that Moore was in danger, many people swallowed their words directly. No one who can sit in the room is a fool. This is really true.
It's going to be tragic. I don't know how many people will die on the way while marching and fighting in a violent storm and snow.
Dozens of miles may not sound very far at first, but this distance is enough to freeze a person to death. Time flies by, and in the blink of an eye it is the first ten days of the first month of the sixth year of Taikang. The snow in Suplin Castle finally stops, and Merlin
The ice and snow in the city was getting heavier and heavier. The originally overwhelming ice and snow provided a lot of convenience for the Luke family's actions. In the ice and snow weather, the city patrol soldiers could not lift their spirits. The Luke family soldiers quickly gathered quietly.
Get up. Just waiting for Rufford's order, he can launch the most violent attacks everywhere in the city. In the Nanlin Manor Castle, Rufford is still very quiet, sipping wine and squinting his eyes, just like a
Ordinary rich old man.
Moore also came to Nanlin Manor. Seeing Rufford's calm demeanor, he really admired him. Compared with these old family lords, he, the prince supervisor, still has a lot to learn. This Qi-nurturing Kung Fu alone is not enough.
You can learn it in a while.
In the past, Moore never felt that the nobles of North and South Lorraine were anything to be afraid of. The reason why they were able to fight against the royal family was just because these nobles worked together. If any family was really singled out, they would not be the opponents of the royal family at all. I have seen Hall
After Nan and Rufford, this concept quickly changed. None of these nobles were easy to get along with. The Luke family is not very powerful, but Rufford is still so cunning, so other families may be more difficult to deal with.
.
The soldiers and horses ambushing outside the city have already braved the ice and snow to move. Moore is very anxious. He will never come to Nanlin Manor unless he has no choice. "Your Majesty, the royal guards have already set off towards Merlin City. We
We also need to act quickly here. That old guy De Koller is not easy to bully. In order to avoid long nights and nightmares, the sooner we act, the better it will be for us."
Moore emphasized the word "we" to remind Rufford and others that the two sides are now allies on the same ship. No one can leave a way out at this time. Anyone who jumps off the ship with luck will only die.
During this period, Moore got to know the Luke family and the Weylan family. These large and small families may not be as powerful as the royal family, but there are no less bad things in the family than the royal family.
There are also many conflicts within the family. Each one has its own little one, and they are not monolithic. Moore does not want to ruin the long-planned event of the royal family because of other people's troubles. Rufford is so smart, of course he understood the warning in Moore's tone.
He curled up the corner of his mouth and said with some displeasure, "The people of the Luke family can still distinguish the seriousness of things. The supervisor should be more careful. People like Huo Nan are not easy to deal with. Merlin City is ready at any time.
They may all fall into turmoil.”
Qiao Mi and others were also somewhat dissatisfied with Moore. The third prince looked domineering and did not position himself at all. The two parties were in a cooperative relationship and were not shamelessly attached to it by the family. Some young family members have already
He sneered at Moore, who didn't realize it, discussed some things with Rufford, and walked out of Nanlin Manor under the eyes of many family members.
Naturally, the affairs of Nanlin Manor cannot be hidden from the spies of the Wei Ting family who are all over Meilin City. The Wei Ting family is sitting in Meilin City. It is extremely easy to spy on someone, not to mention that the two sides have already broken their skins, and Moore has not
Deliberately concealing their whereabouts. In the hall of the castle of Varro Manor, there were more than a dozen Southern Lorraine nobles sitting. At this time, everyone had solemn expressions on their faces, and they were worried. In fact, the Southern Lorraine nobles were not monolithic. In terms of dealing with the royal family, many people
There is still a sense of luck. Take the Mulan family as an example. They think that the royal family will not do such crazy things. Although the nobles of South Lorraine have a tendency to fall towards the Orientals, they have not fallen over yet.
If the royal family kills people at this time, it will force the people of South Lorraine to make a choice.
No one knows whether the Orientals are trustworthy or not. For most Red Grape nobles, the Orientals are just legendary existences, while the threats from the royal family and the Franks are real. Hornan does not
Without forcing these nobles, as the leader of the Southern Lorraine nobles, he must consider the interests of these nobles. Everyone is waiting. Near the Varro Manor, there are hundreds of soldiers loyal to the Red Grape nobles. They are waiting patiently.
With this news about the Luke family, only by seeing the next move of the Luke family can the Red Grape noble make the final choice.
Two soldiers from the Wei Ting family stepped on the thick snow and ran in a hurry. Their faces were full of anxiety and sweat was dripping from their foreheads. When they saw most of the nobles in the hall looking at them with unkind expressions, the two soldiers quickly saluted, "
Your Excellency, Governor Moore just went to Nanlin Manor. Since Prince Moore left, the Luke family has been busy, and the family soldiers have also gathered at the residence in the east." Gu Yin
After waiting for so long, he finally got the news he wanted. Hornan nodded and motioned for the two soldiers to go down. He held the edge of the table and said with some coldness and arrogance, "Everyone, it is very obvious now that the royal family has communicated with Luke
The purpose of the families colluding together is to seize the interests of Southern Lorraine. If we still do nothing, not only will we lose Merlin City, but the Southern Lorraine family will also have to act according to the royal family in the future."
Faced with these nobles, Hornan did not tell any lies. None of these people were mature enough. If you play tricks with them, you will only ask for trouble. More than a dozen nobles whispered to each other and started talking in low voices. After a while,
These nobles who were still hesitating before all stood up and said loudly, "Your Majesty the Duke is right. Since the royal family wants to snatch the interests from us, we cannot let others slaughter us. Your Majesty, please give the order, and we will spare no effort to support you in your control."
The situation in Merlin City."
None of these nobles are stupid. They also have their own interests, but they are absolutely of the same mind when it comes to facing the royal family. If the royal family takes power, all the Lorraine nobles will be unlucky. For more than two hundred years, the Lorraine nobles have long been used to it.
Now that they have lost their independence, they can't stand it if they act based on the royal family's face. Hornan smiled and nodded. The next thing is simple. All he needs to do is concentrate the power of the Merlin nobles and deal with the Luke family.
That's it. Of course, not every Merlin noble is as confident as Hornan. One noble asked with some worry, "Your Majesty, Duke, none of us know what methods the royal family is hiding, so we started rashly.
Is there something wrong?"
He was not the only one who had this kind of worry. Seeing many people nodding in agreement, Huo Nan felt depressed in his heart. Fortunately, he had already known that these nobles were hesitant and had a response. His expression remained unchanged and he said confidently, "Actually, your worries are nothing to worry about.
No, although the Luke family has the help of the royal family, we are not fighting alone. Northern Lorraine will rush to our aid soon, and this time Merlin seizes power, we will definitely win."
As soon as Hornan said this, many nobles smiled bitterly and shook their heads, "Your Majesty the Duke, why are you so sure? Those white-skinned grapes in the north will not lend a helping hand to us. We are fighting with the royal family. They
It’s too late to sit back and watch the excitement.”
The struggle between the nobles of Northern and Southern Lorraine has been going on for a long time. On the way to develop trade interests, the two sides would inevitably collide, and over time, they became a pair of enemies.
It's just that there is a royal family in the middle. Considering the existence of the royal family, there has been no big fight. Will Northern Lorraine rush to help Merlin City? Isn't this a joke? Many people think that the Yankees are unreliable, not to mention those Yankees are here
The losses in the Istria Highlands were not small. Hornan was not surprised. With the grievances between North and South Lorraine for generations, it was really difficult for them to believe that the nobles of North Lorraine would rush to aid Merlin City. "We naturally can't
Let the northern white-skinned grapes take action, but what if the Easterners help?"
A group of Southern Lorraine nobles all stared. Lord Hornan was joking. The Orientals were far away in the Kingdom of Saxony, so how could they care about the affairs of the Lorraine people? But gradually, everyone's expressions became serious, because
They found that Hornan had always been calm and composed, and had no intention of joking at all. In an instant, someone suddenly figured it out, "Could it be that... the Orientals sent someone here?"
Hornan was not in a hurry to answer, but clapped his hands gently, and then a man slowly walked down the wooden steps. The man walked to the long table and saluted the surrounding Southern Lorraine nobles, "
I, the Siberian Deacon and the imperial envoy to Lorraine, Volkan, was unable to inform you because I arrived in a hurry."
Hiss, the whole room was filled with the sound of air-conditioning. Who doesn’t know the name of Volkan? This person is the imperial minister under the oriental powerful man. He has unimaginable influence in Siberia. Such an important person actually comes.
Arriving at Merlin City, a Southern Lorraine noble stood up excitedly, looked at Volkan and said tremblingly, "Are you really Mr. Luo Weide?"
"Of course, yes, if it's fake," Wolkan smiled faintly, and didn't take these things too seriously. If you want to maintain the situation in Merlin City, you must unite these nobles, and self-confidence is also particularly important.
"The governor has taken a fancy to the people of Lorraine. Since he has the intention of forming an alliance, how can he watch the royal family and the Franks harm the people of Southern Lorraine?"
Volkan spoke very cleverly. He only talked about the alliance and never mentioned the marriage. In fact, he told Hornan and the nobles of Southern Lorraine present that the nobles of Northern Lorraine were close allies of the Ming Empire. It was also because of the alliance that they
That's why I helped Nan Lorraine. If Nan Lorraine didn't form an alliance, it would be a different story. As for marriage, it's just a means. But don't use marriage as a blackmail. Maybe everyone will fall in love with each other.
Now let's leave Miss Marina to the care of the nobles of Southern Lorraine.
The corner of Hornan's mouth twitched, and the faces of other nobles also twitched. He was indeed an old Siberian fox. His words sounded soft, but in fact he was carrying a gun and a stick. Who dares to disgust the Orientals now with the marriage, Volkan
She probably just walked away. Grandma is a bitch. She hooked up with an Oriental and offended the Franks. It’s impossible for that fat guy Louis to marry Marina again. The Oriental people have this attitude again. Now Miss Marina
No one wants the princess anymore.
It’s not that it’s shameful, it’s Miss Marina’s magical experience. Every man has to weigh his own worth. What if Louis or the Superintendent doesn’t want others to get involved with Marina? Who will marry Marina?
, who is the old birthday girl who hangs himself to die?
Wicked, really wicked, Hornan had the urge to strangle Wolkan to death, but due to the current situation, he could only break his teeth and swallow it in his stomach. With Wolkan as his backing, Nan Lorraine
The confidence of the nobles has become much stronger. As Walkan stays in Merlin City, the Easterners will definitely try their best to help the nobles of Southern Lorraine. But in fact, these nobles don't know that Walkan is just bluffing. In fact,
There were only a dozen soldiers actually brought to Merlin City.
