In the central city of Dorok Aaron, white raindrops fell under the gloomy sky, and white rain and fog shrouded the city that was still shaking, and there were very few pedestrians on the streets.

All the shops on the street are closed, and most of the people you can see along the way are heavily armed soldiers, and strict checkpoints have been set up from one end of the street to the other.

Location at the gates of Aaron

"Stop!"

The guard officer of the city gate casually stopped an oncoming carriage, the back of which was covered with bulging rainproof felt, the heavy ruts dragging deep marks on the ground, and the swaying surface of the body was full of goods.

Maybe the rush was too hasty, and the felt cloth behind the carriage was not well covered, and many branches belonging to plants could be clearly seen exposed at the edges.

"What's up there, we need to check," said the gate guard officer, looking at the carriage and the people sitting in the driver's seat of the carriage, with a grim expression on his face

"My lord, I'm Ankes from Fei'anshan County, and we drank together last month," at this moment, a fat merchant rolled down from the carriage seat, and while handing a bag of money to the city gate guard, he explained with a smirk on his face, "Look, there is nothing special about this, but some goods purchased for those councilors, you see that there is no need to search it,......"

"Speakers' things?" The gate guard was stunned for a moment, and his hand, which was already about to receive the money bag, was like being burned by coals, and immediately shrunk back

"What's the matter, my lord? The abnormal army of the city gate guards made the merchant stupid there, this guy has always been very quick to collect money before, why is this time unusual,

"Come on, check carefully!" the gate guard pushed away the merchant standing in front of him, and he swept the carriage with a stern expression, originally he was going to collect the money, but the merchant said that the speaker's things. Let him feel the Yan zhòng sex

Just yesterday, one of his colleagues was ordered to be dismissed on the spot by the speaker of the Speaker of the Parliament because he was bribed by the family of a detained speaker of the parliament to give a message to the local speaker in prison to take care of himself. And was treated as a traitor, at this sensitive moment, who would dare to take such a bribe that would cost people's lives

"It could be a big fish!" said the gate guard, raising his eyebrows slightly, as he circled the carriage a few times, and said in his mouth, "according to the war decree just issued, there are many things that are now classified as contraband, and I must take a look." Do you have any contraband here? If there is, it must be confiscated!"

"Impossible, this is absolutely impossible, you see, these are all legal procedures! There is absolutely no contraband!" Hearing what the city guard said, the fat merchant sent a long breath, he hurriedly took out a long prepared Wen Jiàn from his arms and handed it over, still saying in his mouth, "Look at it." This is personally reviewed by the council, and if you don't believe it, you can send someone to the council to investigate!"

"What is the legal formality for the signing of the council?" the officer took the letter from the merchant's hand. Just glanced at it, and casually crumpled this precious text into a ball in the palm of his hand, raised his head and continued to ask, "This is not good, is there any other proof?" If not, we must check!"

"My lord, what are you doing here...... Seeing that Wen Jiàn, who he thought was the trump card, turned into a ball of waste paper in the hands of the city guard officer, the merchant suddenly panicked, and his pale face was like a piece of paper,

He didn't yet know about Aaron's parliamentary rebellion that had just erupted. He didn't know that the army had already taken control of the whole city, but he knew that if the contents of the carriage were exposed, even if the speakers came forward, it would be difficult to protect themselves

"If you look closely, this is signed by Speaker Dilly himself!" the sweaty merchant repeated. ...,

"It's been said very clearly, this is useless!" The corner of the officer's mouth smirked, his hands pulled violently, the merchant looked at the shredded paper in the officer's hand, and his distressed facial features were distorted together, for this article, he spent 7,000 gold coins in exchange, and now he was torn off like this, if he didn't let his distressed death come back to life, 7,000 gold coins, how much effort and time would it take to earn it back!

He pouted slightly and said, "That Speaker Diley is no longer there! Just this morning, this moth who made a fortune in the war has been hanged in public, and now you are holding a document signed by a dead man, what effect do you think it has?"

"Ah, you're saying Speaker Dilly is dead, this ...... How is this possible, that is the honorable speaker!" Hearing the officer's words, the merchant's face turned pale and he muttered in disbelief

"What's impossible, if you still say that this represents rebellion, I will immediately order you to be arrested, and then hang you like those moths" The city gate guard snorted murderously, and said viciously to the merchant, "Tell you the truth, according to the order above, no matter whose goods are useless, not to mention that it is still a time of war, all for victory"

"Do you want to show that you're in league with that moth?" the corner of the gatekeeper's mouth froze, and he tossed it casually. The fragments of the text are swept up by the autumn wind like snowflakes

"These, and these, must be confiscated!" the city guard officer ignored the already frightened merchant next to him, and uncovered the felt cloth that covered the goods, and the boxes full of goods made his eyes light up, and with each one he said, the soldiers next to him would unload the goods from under the felt cloth of the wagon.

"Your Excellency, you can't do this, these are goods with proper formalities! there is absolutely no contraband in them," and then the merchant recovered from his shock, and he shouted, almost desperately, and tried to rush into the carriage to stop him, but he was stopped halfway by two tall and strong soldiers, and could only wave his hands in vain, shouting hysterically in his mouth, and his shout attracted a nearby patrol

"Bianti, what's going on with you here?" An officer of apparent higher status walked over, judging by the badge on his chest, a squadron leader

"It's nothing, my lord, my subordinates just suspect that there is contraband on this carriage" The city gate guard stood up and respectfully gave a military salute to the oncoming boss.

"Contraband, come on, go up and take a look" The squadron leader glanced at the position of the carriage, waved his hand, and a soldier climbed into the carriage and moved the wooden box inside a few times with his hand.

"Open it!" a chill flashed in the squadron leader's eyes as the soldier kicked a wooden box off the top of the wagon. The wooden box was slammed to the ground by the soldiers, and countless scattered green grass buds, like flowers that suddenly bloomed, suddenly scattered from the broken corner of the wooden box to the ground. This is a plant with a dark red flower bud on the rhizome, green stems and leaves and dark red flower buds, which looks so out of place.

Everyone's movements stopped, and their eyes were focused on the green grass sprouts

"It's ......!" the squadron leader, who had been calm just now, trembled his body, looked at the green grass sprouts scattered on the ground with bulging eyes, and swallowed a mouthful of spit with difficulty.

Although he didn't know about medicinal herbs, he had also heard of this plant with pink flower bulbs, Gesang grass is a very precious hemostatic medicine in the Dorok Mountains, because the place where it grows is on a high cliff, so it is necessary to hang a rope and risk people to choose, every year there are people who lose their lives because of picking this herb, so the price is expensive, and it is generally only used by large aristocratic families. At the outset of the war, the Dorok Council strictly forbade merchants to sell this military-supplied drug,...,

But because of the fierce fighting on the front. There are still some bold merchants who will risk spending a lot of money to secretly hoard this herb, especially when rumors broke out in the Dorok army some time ago, the price of this natural herb quickly increased several times, and the price of this box alone cost 5,000 gold coins on the black market

The businessman who had been exposed to his secret also looked at these green grass sprouts with sweat on his face at this moment,

If he is caught by the soldiers, what awaits him is the same fate as Speaker Dilley, and he will be hanged in public. Then he was hung on a sling for a full month, to be a warning to all those who dared to do so

"Someone, catch this guy immediately!" the squadron leader reacted first, pointing at the merchant and shouting at his still stunned men. A mutation happened suddenly,

"Whoosh" a cold light that is difficult to distinguish with the naked eye, like a meteor shooting out from the corner of the city gate street, because the speed is too fast, almost no one can see the traces of the arrow cluster, only feel that a white line flashes in the eye, the squadron leader's body trembled, his hands were painfully tense and strangled the position that was shot through, the bright red arrow penetrated from the back of the neck, and the bright red blood shot out from the wound like a squeezed tomato

The mournful shout of "Assassin ......" caused confusion at the city gate, and the soldiers ran in the direction of the arrows, panting like wounded beasts.

In a building in Aaron City, the face of Duo Xue who received this report was heavy and terrible, what are these Speakers going to do with the medicine? If it is to hoard Juqi and sell it for a good price, it is completely possible to sell it close to the front line, and there is no need to transport it to Aaron, who is still hundreds of miles away from the front line.

"Did you catch it?" Duo Ze raised his head and asked the city official Marquis Longsag who came to report, this is a middle-aged soldier with strict eyebrows and a short fit, the Marquis of Lonzag in military uniform is a head taller than Duo Ze, and some slightly black skin can barely see the traces of time,

Since the last personal assassination, Duo Ze has transferred another of his henchmen, Lonzag, to Yag to take charge of the city's affairs, and Lonzag is also the commander of the Fourth Legion in this plan, and it is in the name of normal duty transfer that the council has not noticed that there are 7,000 soldiers under his command who are transferred to Aaron with Lonzag

"No, the merchant fled in the chaos, and the assassin only found a line of messy footprints, driving in the direction, presumably after launching the attack, he jumped into the moat and fled!

Lonzag's face was not good-looking, the officer who was shot was his own nephew, a bold and careful young man with a great future, if time and form allowed, Lonzag believed that he would become one of the famous generals of Dorok, when the news came, Lonzag was stunned for 20 minutes before recovering from his grief

"It's a pity, what a good young man, sometimes I wonder if what I did was wrong or right"

Hearing that the assassin didn't catch it, a trace of gloom flashed across Duo Zhi's face,

"Heavens, why are there always so many young lives who die early, they should have grown into the sky trees that support Dorok's future, instead of just being meaningless corpses, too many young people have died since last year......"

Duo Xue looked out the window with deep eyes, the gray sky was full of low clouds, his eyes were full of inexplicable love, and the resolute face that had never given up was a little more depressed and gloomy. His lips trembled slightly, and he said in a self-contained tone

"Boom" A dark rolling thunder came from far and near, making a dull sound, which seemed to be an answer to multiple choices

"Your Excellency. Firmly believe in yourself, no matter whether you are right or wrong, as long as you stick to your beliefs with a clear conscience, this is what adults tell me" Feeling the heavy state of mind of Duo Xue, Lonzag suddenly straightened his body and saluted Duo Xue, and said respectfully to Duo Xue...,

"Everyone has followed the adults and worked hard to get to this point. The current situation does not allow us to hesitate, otherwise, it will be us who will be ruined, so my subordinates have the courage to ask that in order to avoid long nights and dreams, I hope that your Excellency can immediately order the summary execution of all those who are still in custody, and only by completely killing the source of these instructions can this crisis that does not have to happen be truly eliminated."

"You want me to kill all the Speakers, how can you have such a dangerous idea?"

Duo chose to turn around unexpectedly. Looking at Lonzag fiercely, his gaze fell on Lonzag like a sharp sword, and Lonzag's mention reminded him of the question he had just been thinking about.

The function of wound medicine is to treat the wounded, and this kind of specific herb strictly controlled by the army, it is not easy to get, so a whole cart of Gesang grass is enough to ensure the needs of a legion.

The other party did not traffic him to the front line where he could sell at a high price, but to Aaron in the rear, unless there was someone in the council who also planned the same plan as himself? There were also people in the council who wanted to seize power by force, and secretly trained the dead, which is why it was necessary to mobilize such a large amount of medicinal herbs.

"Immediately mobilize the army to launch a city-wide search, especially the residences of the speakers!" Duo Xuan turned around and ordered categorically, "You must search carefully, dig three feet into the ground, and don't let go of even a tunnel!"

Aire in the mountains north of Dorok. The central attic, quietly hidden among the green trees and red flowers, was always lonely, dignified, with a hint of awe-inspiring air that was characteristic of the core of power that had ruled the Dorok Mountains for hundreds of years

Whether it is the era of the Cloud of Dorok or the current era of the Falcon Empire, it is the center of Eyre, representing the supreme power that rules this area of Eyret. Although it is quiet and comfortable on the surface, it is actually always at the center of the storm, and no matter what the ups and downs come from, they will eventually be more or less displayed here.

In one of the rooms in the building, the large military map had been removed and replaced with a military topographic map of the Falcon Empire, and since there was still very little information about the New World, the intelligence department that made the map could only refer to the information returned by the Admiralty, and on the edge of the map depicted the location of several routes to the continent of O'Barro, and in some areas that had not yet been explored, the adjutant of the headquarters lightly attached a "?" sign to the back, indicating that the situation there was unclear or in flux.

The fat man crossed his waist and held a glass of water, carefully reviewing the new map sent from the adjutant, in any case, although it could not be compared with the scale map of the descendants, but at least it also drew a more detailed geographical location,

Judging from the new map, with the annexation of the Salander region and the submission of the Eastern Grassland, plus the expansion of the Northlands, the territory of the Falcon Empire has more than doubled compared to the last revision.

The shape of the interior of the center of the country has disappeared, and the red color that represents the empire has covered three-quarters of the map, with the occasional area of different colors, as well as the allied princes like the western part of the empire, which has been divided and surrounded by the empire. But now,

According to the intelligence, the royal army of Rui Tang Tingna, who had been evacuated from the north, had returned to the garrison and began to move several tribes loyal to the royal court south in a planned way to seek a more reliable support point

On the way back, the Dongting and Western Army, which had captured a large number of prisoners of war in the Northland, clashed with each other over the issue of sharing the spoils, and because each of them had lost a lot of cavalry, the various ethnic groups refused to give in to each other,...,

There were even a few tribes that fought, injuring hundreds of people, and in the end, it was the fat man who reprimanded them fiercely as the king of the Khan, and finally shocked these unruly guys.

But the fat man knows that this calm is only temporary, under the land of the Dongting grassland, the speed of the undercurrent is beginning to accelerate with the southward migration of the main force of the royal court led by Rui Tang Tingna, the gap in power always needs people to fill it, and the ambition has never disappeared from the bloodline of the Dongting people, there is evidence that the western army is in contact with each other, and it seems that they are already planning how to carve out their own territory from the grassland where the royal court tribe moved out before the eastern army has a move

Since the beginning of August, the contradictions between the various ethnic groups within the Eastern Court have begun to break out continuously, first launching several tribal disputes,

Then there are some larger tribes, relying on the advantage of numbers to constantly squeeze the living space of the small tribes, forcing these small tribes to follow the pace of the main force of the royal court to move south.

According to Rui Tang Tingna's feedback,

The number of people who moved south with the royal court this time was about 200,000, that is, the population who moved south only accounted for about a quarter of the total population of the eastern court.

There are at least 500,000 Dongting people who are still stubbornly staying on their own grasslands.

They are already preparing to find their place in the new power struggle, (to be continued.) If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendation and monthly passes, and your support is my biggest motivation. )
