- Chapter 556 [Northwest Road] (1)
Just after entering the gate of the imperial capital, Lanlan seemed to be able to smell the strong smell of war in the air.
The guarding of the Royal City Guards is several times more stringent than before, and the inspections in and out of the city gates are particularly stringent. Especially those who do not look like the Roland Empire race, will be even more suspicious.
Lan Lan saw with her own eyes that several people with brown hair and obviously mixed-race features were stopped and interrogated by the defenders at the city gate. They were then forced by the soldiers with swords and taken to the military camp next to the city gate for careful interrogation.
The Roland Empire has been at peace for a hundred years, and there have naturally been many mixed-race marriages of various races. During these more than a hundred years, the mixed-race groups resulting from the intermarriage between the people and the interracial races of Southeast Asia and the northwest grasslands have already reached a certain scale.
There are also many rich and powerful families, and some nobles often keep beauties from other races as personal treasures. Naturally, they will also give birth to some children who are not pure blood. Most of these children have no inheritance rights, and even the family's There are no formal members, and most of them are illegitimate children. Such people are by no means a minority in the imperial capital.
The Roland Empire has clear legal provisions that children of mixed blood have no inheritance rights.
There is also an unwritten unspoken rule in the army: non-pure-blooded Rolands are not allowed to join the army. As for the Imperial Military Academy, which is known as the shortcut to the sky in the military, it is clearly stipulated in the school regulations that non-pure-blood Roland people are not allowed to enter the school.
Therefore, almost all mixed-race groups have fallen into the middle and lower classes of society. Even some chambers of commerce that value reputation will not hire these people.
Especially during this period, with the eastward invasion of the prairie people, the imperial capital has tightened supervision on mixed-race people, especially those who are obviously of prairie descent. This kind of supervision is full of hostility.
Lanlan is on her way back from the north. I heard all kinds of news along the way.
Because of the limitations of this era, the flow of news was not very smooth, and there were also many rumors mixed in during the period.
Just before she crossed the Lancang Canal and headed south, she heard a rumor that one hundred thousand cavalry from the prairie people had captured Mulan City, the capital of Nulin Province, and that General Panin, the Duke of Galoning, had died in the battle.
The night before arriving in the imperial capital, the news I heard from a passing caravan turned out to be that the Tulip family had fallen, and Panin was leading the Thunder God's Whip to defeat the prairie people's cavalry legion and was organizing a counterattack ¡
After Lanlan really enters the imperial capital. But I heard news that because of the crisis in the northwest region, His Majesty Emperor Hilo has approved the petition of the Temple of Light, authorized the Temple of Light, and is willing to restore the military power of the Temple of Light and allow the Temple of Light to reorganize the army of the Holy Knights. Frontline assistance
There are all kinds of news flooding the market, and no one knows which one is true and which one is false.
However, Lanlan has at least determined one thing from various rumors: Nulin Province must have been invaded by the prairie people.
Sowhat are the Tulip family doing?
There are obviously more patrols on the streets of the imperial capital.
I heard that all the city guards have been mobilized, and even the reserve officers have received call-up orders. His Majesty the Emperor has ordered an expansion of the army.
?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? meant ÐÞÐеÄÁîÁîÁîÁî×¢Òô. The local garrison has received the withering away of the military headquarters. More than 100,000 local troops are gathering. The other two divisions of Thunder God's Whip are also coming from the station.
The entire imperial capital has almost become a hub for mobilizing military supplies.
The Lancang Canal¡¯s Chengzhai Pier has been filled with various transport ships filled with military supplies.
The military has taken over river transportation, requisitioned all possible ships, and controlled river transportation. Normal private commercial transportation has been stopped by at least 70% to 80%.
The direct consequence of such a move was that the market in the imperial capital, which was originally the most prosperous, became depressed.
Lan Lan did not go back to the Temple of Light. In fact, she had no intention of going back to that place at all.
She just cautiously inquired about news in several places in the imperial capital.
She needs to go to the northwest!
The fact that the prairie people invaded Lan Lan was extremely shocked. She couldn't believe that the prairie people were raised as shepherd dogs by the Tulip family. How could he suddenly transform into a pack of hungry wolves? She couldn't even understand why the Tulip family's huge strength didn't show up at all after the invasion of the prairie people. And let the grassland people directly attack Nulin Province.
Tulip HouseWhat are you doing? She couldn't understand that in fact, there were all kinds of very bad news circulating in the market in the imperial capital.
This invasion of the prairie people also shocked the people of the imperial capital.
The Tulip family, known as the pillar of the empire, had no news about the invasion of the prairie people. It is really hard to figure out the reason.
Those who know the news on the upper levels all follow the commands and keep the secrets, and dare not leak.
In fact, the upper echelons of the imperial capital, including the emperor, prime minister, military bosses, and others, were naturally very aware of the actions of the duchess of the Tulip family, which embarrassed the emperor.
The Tulip Duchess allowed the prairie people to invade, and was even suspected of attracting wolves into the house. However, this approach was based on Her Majesty Shiloh's attempt to instigate the Tulip Family's Northwest Division, which resulted in the Tulip Family's retaliation.
This situation was caused by Hilo.
Therefore, the higher-ups remained silent, and no one dared to say anything about His Majesty the Emperor's mistakes.
There are many rumors below.
The most common rumor is that the Tulip family has been wiped out by ferocious prairie people. The mighty Tulip family has become a passing thing. After all, the current patriarch of the Tulip family is a little girl, and if you think about it, he will no longer be as powerful as his ancestors.
There are even some slogans of "Revenge for the Tulip Family" circulating on the market.
Of course, another reason why the higher-ups keep secrets is that no one dares to announce the truth!
Because, if it were revealed, it would be said that the Tulip family, the most loyal family in the empire and the first pillar, betrayed the empire and seduced the prairie people into invading. Or if you sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight after the invasion of the prairie people
If you say this, no one will believe it.
And once the public is really convinced of this fact, the situation will only get worse! By then, the hearts and minds of the people and the army will be in turmoil!
The powerful Tulip family became an enemy of the empire? ? How can anyone accept this?
And, everyone will naturally ask: Why does this happen?
So, I¡¯m afraid the answer is obvious: His Majesty Emperor Hilo¡¯s rule is unsatisfactory
The final result will only be directed at the emperor. Who dares to talk about this kind of thing?
¡¡
Lanlan, who still knew nothing about all this, walked quietly in the imperial capital for three days.
During the past three days, she thought of many ways to go to the northwest.
It is difficult to take the land route. The army has blocked the road and set up many checkpoints.
¡°And traveling by land is too slow.
?Then the best option is to take the water route.
But the northwest direction of the Lancang Canal has been designated for military officers, and civilian merchant ships have been stopped. Only cargo ships transporting military supplies for the army can go to the northwest.
It¡¯s not easy to get on board a military cargo ship.
Lanlan cannot reveal the identity of her church. She knew very well that once her identity was exposed in the imperial capital, she would be forcibly taken back by the Holy Knights of the Temple of Light as soon as possible!
The Pope was very eager to know what happened to the first expedition he sent out in the sea.
On the third day, Lan Lan¡¯s efforts finally showed some results.
She found a martial arts gym owner with whom she practiced martial arts when she was in the imperial capital.
This museum owner was not a devout church believer, but during a martial arts competition, he became famous for defeating his opponent with his martial arts skills. However, he was resented by a nobleman who lost money by participating in the competition betting, and he was almost killed. The family was broken up and people died.
Lan Lan, who had a high status in the church at the time, happened to have watched his martial arts competition and admired his swordsmanship very much. So out of sympathy, Lan Lan came to help after learning about this incident. He killed the martial arts master.
With Lanlan¡¯s status in the church in the past and her close personal relationship with the Duchess of the Tulip family, it was easy to protect the martial arts master and his family property. The martial arts master became a good friend of Lanlan in the imperial capital.
On the fourth day, Lanlan quietly went to the door and paid a secret visit to this old friend. The owner of the martial arts gym was also very loyal and promised Lan Lan's request for help. At the same time, he was also very smart and did not ask Lan Lan any questions: Why would a dignified saint in the church want to A person who hides his identity in anonymity and hides from the church, but he asks for help from the owner of a small folk martial arts school like himself? The museum owner did not ask this question.
??Lanlan stayed in the martial arts hall for two days and finally received good news.
The owner of this martial arts gym has a disciple who happens to be serving in the military. He is a middle- and lower-class officer who was transferred from the local garrison to the imperial capital. The army he belongs to happens to be ordered by the military to transport military supplies to the northwest. task.
This disciple of the martial arts master happened to serve on a transport ship and served as a small leader. The owner of the martial arts hall asked the other party to help him get on the boat to the northwest with the affection of a teacher and a student.
This matter is not easy!
"In times of peace, it would be a simple matter for the army's ships to quietly pick up a few people.
But now it¡¯s war time! Military supplies are the top priority of the army, especially the ships transporting baggage, which are subject to strict inspections. It is not easy to bring strangers on board.
If you are caught, you may be accused of being a collaborator or even a spy!
Based on the relationship between master and apprentice, plus a bribe of several hundred gold coins. In addition, the martial arts gym owner guaranteed that Lanlan was definitely not a spy from the prairie people, but a pure-blooded Roland.
Then he made up a story: a brave girl from the imperial capital who fell in love went to the northwest to find her fianc¨¦ who was lost in the war zone (To be continued) - Didn't finish reading?
