These big shots are actually me

"Is it possible that they changed the meaning of this secret message later?"

Verdani shook her head in denial:

"No, young master, rose flowers have a high degree of directivity and deep meaning in the north. If we are internal people, we will never use rose flowers to refer to other secret words. And for outsiders, It is even less possible to use our secret reporting methods in the north."

Mozo nodded and said:

"I understand. Verdani, please go get me a map. I want a map of the entire northern territory!"

Verdani immediately got up and got a map of the North. Wait until you spread it out on the table.

Mozo just stared at the map and started thinking. What will happen to this matter.

First of all, the Wolf family definitely has no pure-blood descendants. At least the main branch represented by his lineage cannot have any descendants. Unless those people find him, in this case, from the bloodline verification, we may really be able to draw the conclusion of pure blood.

After all, advanced verification methods are basically down to the essence. And his essence is - Cromwell, Sun King, Storm King, Saint...

But in this case, who is the heir that the other party found?

In his memory, it was clear that he was the only serious member of the Northern Wolf family. After contacting the previous anomalies in White Castle, I am afraid that White Castle is now filled with old ministers from the north.

etc. Could this just be an excuse to call everyone together? Their real intention is to install a fake as their leader and then declare the independence of the North?

No, no, it won't be like this. They don't have to wait until now to become independent, let alone go to such trouble.

But if this were not the case, what would happen?

Because there was so little known information, Mo Zuo felt completely confused about this matter.

As he caught a glimpse of the border between the North and the Northern Commercial Alliance out of the corner of his eye, Mozo suddenly woke up:

The main line of the Wolf family must have no descendants, but I remember that the Wolf family had branched off a branch hundreds of years before I appeared?

Mo Zuo remembered this incident very clearly, because he remembered that his vassals in the north had asked him if he wanted to go to the Northern Commercial Alliance to track down the branch that had fled that year.

However, Mozo refused at the time because at that time he was busy plotting against the Heise Empire so that the other lords who were making trouble in the west could take the opportunity to become independent.

After realizing this, Mozo instantly felt that the situation was clear.

Most likely that branch was found!

Mozo began to think about what impact it would have on the North and him if the side branch was really found.

Then the first thought that came to Mozo's mind was:

I'm afraid the North will prepare for independence immediately? !

However, this idea was quickly rejected by him, because 'he' has been dead for three hundred years. When the Lang family was at its peak, the northern border did not become independent or go south, let alone now.

He admitted that his vassals at that time were very loyal, but now that three hundred years have passed, even if they wanted to, it would be impossible to solve the Queen's division and restrictions on the northern territory.

Mo Zuo knew that after his 'death', the Northern Territory followed his 'last wish' that he had expressed explicitly or implicitly many times before and did not choose to go to war. At the same time, the Northern Territory princes bowed their heads to the royal family.

Queen Isabelle was also very capable of slowly encroaching on the northern territory. The troops stationed in various places in the northern border are no longer the private soldiers of the princes, but the Queen's regiments. The officials in charge of various places are also directly under the Queen's royal family.

Under such circumstances, if they still want to be independent, it is impossible to achieve it, unless they have the ability to get the soldiers and people at the bottom to follow them, but how is this possible?

Three hundred years after the Queen took over the North, Mozo didn't think they would have that kind of appeal.

This is a very normal thought, and is even the thought of the surrounding major forces. Everyone feels that the North is no longer the North of the Lang family or the princes, but the Queen's North.

It is purely royal territory.

But they, including Mozo himself, had forgotten that Cromwell, the former Lord of the North, was the only one among the many masters in the North who really had the people in his heart.

The former never thought that the great lord would care about Mud Legs, while the latter never thought that there was anything surprising or worth remembering.

Because the soul from a foreign country always feels that he and others are equal from the bottom of his heart!

This is the most generous gift given to Mozo by his hometown.

It was also at this time that Miss Knight's voice suddenly came from outside the door:

"Mozo, something happened! You'd better come out and take a look!"

Mozo was startled and hurriedly took Verdani out of the room. Then he asked Miss Knight who was holding a letter at the door:

"What happened?"

Miss Knight immediately handed the letter in her hand to Mozo:

"This is a farewell document and a delivery letter from the military camp sent by the garrison. They said that they received dual instructions from White Keep and Winterfell, requiring them to evacuate the Riverlands immediately."

Demand the garrison's immediate withdrawal? This is completely different from what I had negotiated with Gawain!

Let alone private soldiers now, I haven’t even prepared the Sequence Nine potion yet!

Mozo received the document in an increasingly confused state. It was indeed a formal official document, and the reasons given above were also very detailed.

That is because the governor believes that soldiers directly under the empire must not appear in the private territories of nobles. Otherwise, the outside world will think that the fief is not a fief, and the emperor's promise is not the emperor's promise!

Therefore, after he found out, he demanded that the troops be withdrawn immediately.

What does the Governor mean? ? ?

Didn't the Queen say that I can trust the Governor? Why did you stab me in the back?

Wait, is the Governor reminding me of something? The local garrison cannot be trusted either? Is he telling me that it would be safer not to garrison troops?

No, it should be more than that.

Mozo put down the document, and then walked back to the map with the worried eyes of the two girls.

Looking at the map of the North in front of him, Mozo picked up the quill and started writing and drawing on it.

The Governor is directly appointed by the Queen, and he goes to Fog City every year to appeal to the Queen. With the Queen's ability, she should not mislead the Governor. And even if the Queen is really mistaken.

Then such a powerful governor would not use this method to mess with me.

So there is a problem with the garrison? Then the heir of the Wolf family, White Castle, became abnormal.

After continuously connecting and sketching on the map, relying on his knowledge of Gawain and others. Mozo was surprised and came to a conclusion that he overturned:

Do they really want to be independent? !

Do they really still have huge influence? !

No, they probably don't have such a strong appeal to make the entire Northern Territory follow them. There is a problem with the garrison, probably because they are Gawain's faction. The entire Northern Territory should generally still be under the control of the Queen.

After all, the Queen's three-hundred-year control is not so easy to crack. The title of heir to the Wolf family would never be so easy to use.

Therefore, there must be another external force supporting them behind the scenes, otherwise Gawain and the others would never do such a thing with their nature.

Thinking of this, Mozo drew the quill in his hand on the Heather Empire.

"Heather!"

Around Lorraine, only Heather has the confidence, ability and reason to do this!

The Northern Business Alliance is a piece of loose sand. It is okay for them to stick together for warmth, but it is absolutely impossible for them to cooperate with the outside world. The dispute over who sends troops and who pays can last for more than ten years.

The elves are even less interested in playing war games with lower races.

So it will only be the Heise Empire. Those black-robed men who were mostly from Heise, who were tricked by me once, are becoming more powerful and threatening their neighboring countries. These are the reasons for them to plan this matter. !

From the limited information, Mo Zuo could see the general context of the whole matter more and more clearly.

Although there are still some problems in the details, it is already a very outstanding ability!

The two knight girls, including Audrey, who came over after hearing the noise, walked to Mozo worriedly, and then Audrey asked: "Mozo, are you thinking of something?"

Looking at the three girls in front of him, Mozo sighed helplessly and said:

"The North may be going to war with Lorraine."

"Haha?!" X3

The three girls were extremely shocked by these words.

Verdani asked hurriedly:

"Young Master, are you really sure?"

She knew that the secret message of the rose blooming would bring huge turmoil to the North, but she really didn't expect it to be such a big thing.

Obviously a few days ago, there was singing and dancing in the north! Why is there suddenly a war?

Miss Knight also asked in disbelief:

"Mozo, are you sure? How did you come to this conclusion? You know, the North did not declare war on Lorraine after the death of Archduke Cromwell!"

Three hundred years ago, when they had the right time, place, and people, they didn't do anything. How could they do it again three hundred years later, when there is nothing?

Audrey asked even more suspiciously:

"Mozo, are you having a nightmare?"

Obviously, in the eyes of the three girls, the conclusion Mozo came to was as outrageous as a fantasy!

Mo Zuo said helplessly:

"I'm not mistaken, and I'm not having nightmares. This is reality!"

After saying that, Mozo also said just in case:

"Okay, I also have a verification method here. You go and clean up briefly first."

-

Not long after, Mozo and the other four people left the Riverlands cursingly while being chased and puzzled by the local officials.

The reason is that this place is too far away from the prosperity of Fog City and there is no military protection. He wants to return to Fog City to live a luxurious and stable life.

A few officials who had only taken office a few days ago could only watch with helpless eyes as the four people drove away on horseback and drifted away.

These past few days have been really baffling for them. Not only did a lord come for the first time, but then this lord for the first time ran away again!

This, what is this!

But what surprised them even more was that the lord had just left not long ago, and the army that had been ordered to evacuate actually came back again? !

And on a hillside not far from the riverland. Mozo and the three girls were standing here on horseback.

Looking at the returning army, the three girls' faces were livid.

Mozo was right, once they leave immediately, those troops will come back with them!

The other party is really waiting for them to recognize each other and leave!

Mo Zuo also looked at the mighty returning army in front of the river with melancholy.

He knew that this was the final reply given to him by the governor or Gawain - you are right, run away!

The reason for letting him go was probably for Verdani's sake.

After a brief period of melancholy, Mo Zuo fell into a new choice.

Should he flee to the Fog City next, or should he escape to the Forest of Holy Trees?

Or should he stay and try to turn the tide? !

98 The awakened Heather Fox

After Mozo quickly ‘escaped’, Gawain and the Governor at White Castle also received the news immediately.

Gawain finally let go of his worries:

"You're right, that kid really saw what you meant right away. And he immediately chose to run away."

The governor also nodded and said:

"I can even conclude that he didn't really run away immediately after he 'escaped', but stayed somewhere where he could observe the Riverlands to see if your troops had returned."

As he spoke, the governor walked to the map and looked at the dazzling array of military signs on the map and said:

"But now, he should have given up completely and is thinking about how to escape to Fog City safely."

Gawain also walked to the map and looked at the junction of the North and Loland, frowning and saying:

"In this way, Ming En's bloodline can be saved, but are you really sure you don't have to advance?"

"Of course, I know that he will definitely report this situation to the Queen, but even if the Queen wants to respond, it will first go through me and her three generals in the north. And this was our first plan. "

"There is no need to mess up the situation first. Just follow the original plan with peace of mind."

But when it came to this, the governor did look behind him with some worry and asked:
