    Chapter 496 [Deep Night Visit]

    Saron Bonelli was upset, but there was no better way. He could only send a capable home to his elite and go to Duke Minas to quietly inquire about the news.

    A little bit past, the old Prime Minister’s heart has never been so nervous – even when the last time Osgiliath was broken and the rebels entered the city, the old man had never been so ruthless. At that time, although the current situation was almost in a desperate situation, the idea of ​​the old Prime Minister was rather simple: if it was a country, then it would be nothing more than a death, and it would be a full name.

    But the situation tonight is different!

    Most of his uneasiness, with a guilty taste. Although he trusted these elite warriors in his own home-after all, in the Empire, every great aristocrat had the tradition of practice molestation elite private soldiers, and the private armies of these families were equivalent to those of the aristocrat Giants, practice molestation The fate and honor of life have been fully maintained with the family, there is no doubt about the loyalty of the family, there is little possibility of rebellion. And aristocrats often do not tolerate the behavior of the rebellious family. Once this happens, the renegade will be cast aside by all aristocrat classes.

    He made preparations today, and the goal is naturally Duke Minas – Duke Minas has decided to come to the banquet to meet with him, but suddenly canceled the trip before going out, is it…

    Is that savvy Old Man, he found his own change?

    It stands to reason that it is impossible! The elite warrior of his own family will never be rebellious!

    But the old Prime Minister, who has spent the rest of my life, knows more about the truth: there is no absolute thing in the world! It is often something that seems impossible to happen. Once it happens, it is the disaster!

    With the deep foundation of the Duke Minas family in the army, if the old duke knows that he has the heart to poison him, then the Minas family will immediately rebound and retaliate, it will be…

    Gently shake your head. The old Prime Minister tried to suppress the distractions in her heart.

    Will not! If he has noticed, he has already launched a counterattack at this moment! Don't look at the old duke's glory in the past few years, the security is very good, a veteran and uncontested, but Salon Bonelli is also a young man, but he personally experienced the old Duke Minas in power. Period! At that time, Duke Minas, temper dare to be determined, killing and deciding, never hesitating half a point! If he knows that he has the heart to harm him, then at this moment, the old duke has sent him the elite department of Duke Minas's house to fight down!

    The old duke is an army life, and the elite warrior he has kept in his family, no matter in quantity or quality, among all the imperial giants aristocrat, is undoubtedly second to none! Comparable to the quality of the privates of the Minas family, I am afraid that only the private armed "Nightfall Guardian" of the emperor!

    If Duke Minas really made up his mind to fight back, then everyone is going to fight, and you must lose yourself!

    This is the moment of life and death, the moment of life!

    The old Prime Minister didn't feel that his thoughts would be too exaggerated!

    He knows the temper of Duke Minas too! This guy has been like a sigh of relief in recent years, but the temper of the year, but will never change! As a Prime Minister, the emperor is the number one minister of the trusted aide. If the old duke knows that he wants to start with him, then the other party will interpret this as the emperor himself! Once he was identified as the emperor himself to start with the Minas family, there would be no more concern for the Minas family's counterattack!

    "I hope God bless you."The old Prime Minister has a cold face and a cold eyes: "If the Minas family has no disagreement and works for the Royal Family, it is a great fortune!" If it really becomes a mess…Then, this is the great disaster of the empire! ”

    Until the sky was completely dark, the old Prime Minister did not even eat half a meal, waiting quietly in the study.

    Finally, when it was almost midnight, the talents who sent out to inquire about the news finally came back to obituary.

    The young Prime Minister’s personal guardian was sent out. It was a middle-aged warrior with a good shape. He ran into the study of the Prime Minister’s study. His forehead was sweating and he was breathing hard. Obviously, this road was very hard.

    "Lord! There is news! ”The guardian is about to bow down, and the old Prime Minister frowned: "Say! When are you, no need to salute! Say it! ”

    ‘Yes!’The guard temper was careful and shivering, and he quickly whispered: "I divided the man's hand two times, one team went to see the city gate, and the other team hid me near the ducal palace. Just a few moments ago, I finally got the news that the team of Rhody Young Lord brought the knight, the brigade returned to the city from outside the city, and the night gate was closed for curfew, or Rhody came out to show the old duke’s handwritten book. The generals opened the gate and let them in. My people were nearby, and they looked very real and would not go wrong. ”

    Don, The bodyguard added: "There is an unusual detail: I heard that Rhody Lord took people out of the city, the clear are the horses, back when the line is more than a light simple horse carriage, that horse carriage is very humble, apparently temporarily collected outside the city, Some of my men recognized that it was a carriage of goods, but it was temporarily modified, and the carriage box was added to the compartment! When they entered the city, the horse team held the carriage in the middle of the team, the carriage shed was put down, and the cover was tight, obviously it was not wanting people to see what was inside. Because they brought the handbook of the old duke, so the generals who guarded the door did not dare to check, they directly put them into the city. The team, after entering the city, went directly back to the Duke's House. ”

    “What else?”The old Prime Minister nodded.

    The head of the guard was slightly indulged: "I saw the horse carriage outside the ducal house. From the cargo wheel imprint, the horse carrier does not have much weight, and the carriage wheel imprint on the road is light and shallow."

    "Good, you are very careful."The old Prime Minister nodded again, but frowned: "You think…What will be hidden in the horse carriage? ”

    "I don't know if I belong, I don't dare to guess."The head of the guard shook his head very honestly: "After the horse carriage entered the government, the Duke's house closed the door. It can be seen that their guards are very strict and the number of guards has at least doubled."

    Salon Ponnelli took a deep breath and walked in the room for a while, then quickly walked over to the table, wrote a pen and wrote a warrant, and handed it to the guard: "Now the curfew has been sealed. City, you immediately take my hand, go out to explore the news. Rhody took the place where he had previously gone out of town, where he met, and where the horse carriage was collected. Check it out. Yeah

    Having said that, the old Prime Minister had a slight hesitation in his heart. The guardian’s heart was moving and whispered: “Lord, is it clean?Is it necessary to consult the relevant person?"Said, he made a single-handed cut.

“……I don't need itThe old Prime Minister suddenly smiled, and the haze and nervousness in his eyes disappeared: "The situation is not as bad as I thought. Well, you should look carefully, just don't reveal the trace, don't let people know that you are in my house. Didn’t the military department have transferred a lot of garrison troops from the south these days? You put on the clothes of the local garrison army and went out to explore the news. ”

    After the guardian took the lead, the old Prime Minister was relieved and slowly sat back in his chair.

    It seems…The Minas family's change is not because of discovering their own actions. Is it something important in their own home…

    What kind of thing was quietly loaded in the horse carriage that Rhody brought back?

    What can be loaded in a small carriage of horse cargo? What is prohibited? Naturally, it is not. The banned thing is the arsenal weapon equipment, but Duke Minas is in the middle of the army for the rest of his life. Those banned weapon equipment may be a rare item for others, but his house must be There are many. So,Is it a private goods?

    Duke Minas is not short of money, and can't do this kind of thing.

    Could it be ……

    Person(s)

    Or is the old duke contacting the old ministry of the southern local defenders, and coming to the city to meet and discuss what secret secrets?

    The old Prime Minister thought of this, suddenly a bitter smile, it seems that it is not right: unless it is to convene the old department to rebel, otherwise the old duke will never start to summon the old man now – he has been keeping a low profile for so many years, it will not be very low, not In the face of the current situation, it is necessary to summon the subordinates before they come back, attracting other people's suspicions. He should only be more low-key now!

    Thinking of this, the old Prime Minister has a heartbeat and thinks of one thing…

    "The calculation of the day, it should not be there yet, the brigade will come from the north, even if it is fast, there should be half a month to be right…"

    When it was almost dawn, the guardian finally returned with the results of the inquiring.

    The head of the guard is very effective in doing things, and the news of the inquiries is also very detailed.

    “Rhody Young Lord went out into the city with a small town in the northwest, less than twenty miles from Imperial Capital. I took people in the village to inquire about the news, the horse carriage was also bought in a carriage horse in the village. We asked carriage brisk step people, at that time Young Duke with people will carriage brisk step near all surrounded, do not let idle people in and out, but there are carriage brisk step people far heard in the inside came the sound of crying, even Rhody Young Duke, When out, the eyes are also red, but the look is very excited, as if very happy appearance … "

    Got itPrime Minister's reaction calmed down a lot, and the news that was brought back clearly confirmed the speculation in my heart.

    "Master, we…"

    "Go on, let everyone rest, nothing big."Prime Minister has a sigh of relief and his eyes are a bit complicated: "The things behind you are not something you can understand."

    After the guards went out, the old Prime Minister called his own personal home management.

    "Prepare carriage, I am going out."

    Looking at the tired face of the Master, I couldn’t help but say: "Master…You haven't eaten a bite tonight, it's not too late…"

    "What do you know, my big things can't be done, it's going tonight!" Go, don't follow the guards, change a old horse carriage without eyes, I am going to the military. ”

    The old Prime Minister light carriage Jane, quietly out of the house in the middle of the night, there are only two close-fitting chamberlain, and even the groom is the governor of the house.

    Visiting the Emperor's Department in the middle of the night, the old Prime Minister did not show up, only to show a copy of the highest level of the order, the military guards immediately released.

    The person to be visited by Salon Bonelli is Adek. Although it is already in the middle of the night, the old Prime Minister has no doubt that Adek must have not slept at this time.

    Although the old Prime Minister knows that his own government goal is how to blame this powerful army leader. But in private, he is also very admired for the current military backbone of the empire. Adrick Grand Duke is selfless. Since he became the Minister of Military Affairs, he has been busy with his official duties, and he has been sleepless and forgotten. He is almost one of the most diligent military ministers in the empire for centuries.

    Although everyone is standing in a different camp, the old Prime Minister is very admired for the diligence of Adek.

    Adike was surprised by the late night visit of the Prime Minister Lord, but he immediately realized that the other party must have something important to discuss with him, and he would choose to run at such a time.

    Adrick quietly met with the Prime Minister and asked his Guard to guard the room around the room where the two met.

    Closing the door with his own hands, Adrick turned around and looked at the old Prime Minister who had sat in the chair.

    "Lord came late at night, don't know…"

    Adek hasn't finished yet, Prime Minister has long sighed: "General Adrick, you are ruthless, forgetting to eat, I really admire."

    Said, Prime Minister's eyes deliberately fell on Adrick's table – it was a food dish, which was obviously Adek's dinner, with two cold and hard noodles in it, only clipped in the middle. A piece of bacon. Because it is already cold, there is a disgusting white oil on it.

    The imperial minister of the empire, the number one of the emperor's squad, actually eats so simple! Prime Minister can naturally see that the cake is made with the most common coarse grains. As for the bacon, it is no different from the ordinary soldiers in the army.

    Adek saw the look of the Prime Minister and smiled: "The Prime Minister Lord is heavy. This kind of food is already good, at least there is meat. If it is a military gang that fights in the field, it is good to have a cake to fill the hunger. ”

    The old man nodded and his eyes were a bit complicated. He sighed and looked at Adrick’s tired face. He whispered: “General Lord hasn’t slept for a few days?”

“……”Adrik frowned slightly, faintly said: "Prime Minister Lord visits late at night, I am afraid not to talk to me about accommodation and food?"

    In fact, Adric has not closed his eyes for two days. At this moment, his heart is exhausted and he is somewhat impatient.

    “General is hard.”The old Prime Minister said faintly: "Just, I have a word to ask you…What do you think is the hardest thing for you now? ”
