According to the previously agreed plan, as long as the heavy snow stops, it can directly hit Merlin City. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 infoThe person in charge of the surprise attack on Merlin City this time is a noble commander from the Senate, whose real life is called Gaured, also known as Count Gauder. Gao Red kept cursing the ghost weather above his head, and drank the liquor in the porcelain pot intermittently, "This kind of bird weather can freeze people into popsicles, if you don't drink some wine, you will feel uncomfortable." ”

"But it's not, we are freezing here, but the third prince is hiding in the city to enjoy the blessings, it seems that he is either a cronie or he can't do it" Another centurion also complained, and Gao Red pretended not to hear it, and did not comment on it. Towards evening, the cold wind was a little lesser, and the door of the house was pushed open, and gusts of cold wind mixed with snowflakes drifted into the room, and everyone shivered with cold. The person who came was Moore's cronies and guards, and when he saw Gao Red, he hurriedly took out the letter sealing the wax, "Lord Gao Red, this is a personal letter from the third prince. ”

After only two glances at the letter, Gao Red was shocked, how could the good plan be leaked? Gao Red had participated in the Eastern Crusade and knew the danger of marching in windy and snowy weather, especially cavalry, which was not suitable for marching in the wind and snow. But as soon as he thought of Moore's identity, he had to grit his teeth and act according to the order, that was the son of Matteire, if he didn't save him when he died, then he Gao Red would definitely not live, "Inform me, after tomorrow, after the end of tomorrow, regardless of whether the wind and snow have stopped, all the troops will march and target Merlin City." Be sure to arrive at the outskirts of Merlin City after the day, the third prince is in trouble. ”

"The third prince is in trouble?" Originally, there were still people who wanted to raise objections, but when they heard that Moore was in danger, many people swallowed the words back. No one who can sit in the room is a fool. It's really going to be miserable now, marching and fighting in a raging snowstorm, I really don't know how many people will die on the way. Dozens of miles of land, at first glance it doesn't sound far, but this distance is enough to freeze people to death. Time passed in a hurry, and in a blink of an eye, it came to the first month of the sixth year of Taikang, and the snow in Suplin Castle finally stopped, but the ice and snow in Merlin City fell more and more. The originally overwhelming ice and snow provided a lot of convenience for the Luke family's actions, and in the ice and snow weather, the city patrols could not lift their spirits, and the soldiers of the Luke family quickly gathered quietly. Just wait for Rafford's order to launch the most fierce attack on all parts of the city. In the castle of Nanlin Manor, Lafford is still very quiet, sipping fine wine and squinting, like an ordinary rich old man. Moore also came to Nanlin Manor, and when he saw Lafford so calm, he really admired that his Royal Highness the prince still had a lot to learn compared to these old family lords. This qi cultivation kung fu alone is not something that can be learned in a while.

In the past, Moore never felt that there was anything terrible about the nobles of North and South Lorraine, and the reason why they were able to fight against the royal family was just that these nobles worked together, and if they really pulled out a single family, they were not the opponents of the royal family at all. After seeing Hornan and Rafford, this concept quickly changed, none of these nobles are easy to get along with, the strength of the Luke family is not strong, but Lafford is still so cunning, then the other families, I'm afraid it will be even more difficult. The soldiers and horses lying in ambush outside the city have already braved the ice and snow to act, Moore is very anxious, if he is not absolutely helpless, he will definitely not come to Nanlin Manor, "Lord Earl, the royal guards have already marched towards Merlin City, and our side must also act quickly." De Koller is not an old thing to bully, and the sooner we act, the better it will be for us to avoid long nights and dreams. ”

Moore focused on mentioning the word "we" to remind Lafford and others that now that the two sides are allies in the same boat, no one wants to leave a way back at this time, and those who jump off the boat by luck have only a dead end. During this time, Moore has done some knowledge about the Luke family and the Weilan family, these large and small families may not be as powerful as the royal family, but the bad things in the family are no less than the royal family. There are also many contradictions within the family, each fighting their own little ninety-nine, not a monolith, Moore doesn't want to ruin the big things that the royal family has planned for a long time because of other people's bad things. How smart Rafford was, of course he understood the warning in Moore's tone, and the corners of his mouth twitched, a little unhappy, "The matter is serious, and the people of the Luke family can still tell the difference." Your Highness, let's be more careful, those people in Hornan are not easy to get along with, and Merlin City may fall into turmoil at any time. ”

Jommy and the others were also somewhat dissatisfied with Moore, the third prince looked domineering, and he didn't put himself in the right position at all. The two sides are a cooperative relationship, not a family cheeky paste. There were some young family members who had already sneered at Moore, who was unaware of it, and discussed some things with Raffle, and walked out of Nanlin Manor under the eyes of many family children. The matter of Nanlin Manor naturally can't be hidden from the eyes of the Wei Ting family all over Meilin City, the Wei Ting family sits in Meilin City, and if they want to spy on someone, it can't be easier, not to mention that the two sides have already torn their faces, and Moore didn't deliberately hide his whereabouts. In the hall of the castle of Varro Manor, there were more than a dozen South Lorraine nobles, and at this time, everyone's faces were solemn and worried, the South Lorraine nobles were actually not monolithic, and many people still had a fluke mentality in dealing with the royal family. Take the Mullanr family as an example, they think that the royal family will not do such a crazy thing, although the nobles of South Lorraine have a tendency to fall to the Easterners, but after all, they have not fallen to the past, and if the royal family kills at this time, it will force the South Lorraine to make a choice. Whether the Orientals can be trusted or not, no one knows, for most of the Red Grape nobles, the Orientals are just a legendary existence, but the threat of the royal family and the Franks is real. Hornan did not persecute these nobles, and as the leader of the nobility of South Lorraine, he had to 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 patiently waiting for the news of the Luke family, only when they see the next move of the Luke family, the Red Grape nobles can make the final choice.

The two soldiers of the Weiting family stepped on the thick snow and ran in a hurry, their faces were full of anxiety, sweat on their foreheads continued to seep out, and seeing that most of the nobles in the hall looked at them with unkind faces, the two soldiers hurriedly saluted, "Lord Duke, just now His Royal Highness Moore went to Nanlin Manor, since Prince Moore left, the people of the Luke family have been busy, and the family soldiers have also gathered in the residence in the east. ”

After waiting for so long, and finally waiting for the news he wanted, Hornan nodded and motioned for the two soldiers to go down, he leaned on the edge of the table, and said with some cold arrogance, "Everyone, now it is very obvious that the royal family has colluded with the Luke family for the purpose of seizing the interests of South Lorraine. If we still don't do anything, not only Merlin City will be lost, but the South Lorraine family will also have to act according to the royal family's face in the future. ”

In the face of these nobles, Huo Nan did not tell the slightest lie, none of these people are old and sophisticated, and those who play with them can only ask for their own hardships. More than a dozen nobles exchanged heads and talked in low voices, and it didn't take long for these nobles who were still hesitating before all stood up and shouted, "The Duke is right, since the royal family wants to rob us of the interests in our hands, then we can't let anyone slaughter us." Your Excellency, give your orders, and we will spare no effort to support your Lordship in controlling the situation in Merlin City. ”

None of these nobles are stupid, they also have their own interests, but they are absolutely one-minded in the face of the royal family. If the royal family is in power, all the Lorraine nobles will be unlucky, for more than two hundred years, the Lorraine nobles have long been accustomed to autonomy, and now let them look at the royal family's face and act, where can they stand it. Huo Nan smiled and nodded, and then the next thing was simple, just need to concentrate the forces of the Merlin nobles and deal with the Luke family well. Of course, not every Merlin nobleman is as confident as Hornan. A nobleman couldn't help but ask with some concern, "Lord Duke, none of us know what means the royal family is hiding, will it be a little inappropriate to act rashly?" ”

Seeing that many people nodded in agreement, Huo Nan was secretly depressed in his heart, fortunately, he had long known that these nobles had looked forward and had a response. His expression remained unchanged, and he said confidently, "Actually, you don't have to worry, although the Luke family has the help of the royal family, we are not fighting alone. North Lorraine will soon come to our aid, and this time Merlin will seize power, and we will definitely win. ”

As soon as Huo Nan's words came out, many nobles immediately shook their heads with a wry smile, "Lord Duke, why are you so convinced?" The white-skinned grapes in the north will not lend a helping hand to us, and we will fight with the royal family, and it will be too late for them to sit and watch the excitement. ”

The struggle between the nobles of North and South Lorraine has been going on for a long time, and the two sides will inevitably collide on the way to open up trade interests, and over time, they will become a pair of enemies. It's just that there is a royal family in the middle, and considering the existence of the royal family, there has been no big fight. Will North Lorraine rush to the aid of Merlin City? Isn't this a joke, many people think that the Yankees are unreliable, not to mention that the losses of those Gangsters in the Istrian Highlands are not small. Huo Nan was not surprised, with the grievances of several generations of people in North and South Lorraine, it was really difficult for them to believe that the nobles of North Lorraine would rush to the aid of Merlin City, "Naturally, we can't let the northern white-skinned grapes help, but what if the Easterners help?" ”

A group of South Lorraine nobles all stared, Lord Holnan was joking, the Orientals were far away in the Kingdom of Saxony, where could they take care of the affairs of the Lorraine. But gradually, everyone's expressions became serious, because they found that Huo Nan had been calm and calm, and there was no meaning of joking at all. The Orientals sent someone? ”

Hornan did not rush to answer, but clapped his hands gently, and then a man slowly walked down the wooden steps, and the person who came walked to the long table and saluted the surrounding South Lorraine nobles, "I, Deacon Kipros, the envoy sent to Lorraine by the Empire, Lovidnov, have not been able to inform you because I came in a hurry. ”

Hey, the room was full of the sound of cold air, who didn't know the name of Luo Weidenov, this person was the imperial minister under the command of the Eastern Emperor, and he had unimaginable influence in Kipros, such an important person, he actually came to Merlin City. A South Lorraine nobleman stood up with some excitement, looked at Luo Weidnov and said in a trembling voice, "Are you really Lord Luo Weide?" ”

"Naturally, yes, if it is fake" Luo Weidenov smiled faintly, he 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 regent takes a fancy to the Lorraine people, and since he has the heart of alliance, how can he watch the royal family and the Franks come to kill the people of South Lorraine?" ”

Lovednov spoke very skillfully, he only spoke of alliances, and never mentioned marriages. In fact, it is to tell Huo Nan and the Southern Lorraine nobles present that the Northern Lorraine nobles are cronies and allies under the command of the Great Song Empire, and it is also because of the alliance that they will help the Southern Lorraine, if the Southern Lorraine does not align, it will be a different situation. As for the marriage, it is just a means, but don't use the marriage to blackmail people, if you don't let everyone break up, that Miss Marina will be left to the nobles of South Lorraine to raise. The corners of Hornan's mouth twitched, and the other nobles also twitched, they really deserved to be the old fox of Kipros, it sounded soft, but in fact, he had a gun and a stick, and now if anyone dares to disgust the Orientals with the matter of marriage, Luo Weidenov estimated that he would go straight away. Grandma is a bear, hooked up with the Orientals, offended the Franks, Louis's dead fat man could not marry Marina again, the Orientals have this attitude, and now Miss Marina has become a princess that no one wants. It's not that it's unsightly, it's really Miss Marina's magical experience, and any man has to weigh his own pounds. What if Yi Yi Yi or the Eastern Emperor don't want others to get involved with Marina, then whoever marries Marina will be the old birthday star who hangs himself and dies.

Lack of virtue, really lack of virtue, Hornan had the urge to strangle Luo Weidenov to death, but due to the current situation, he could only break his teeth and swallow it in his stomach. With the backing of Levednov, the confidence of the nobles of South Lorraine is much stronger, and Lovednov stays in Merlin City, and the Orientals will definitely try their best to help the nobles of South Lorraine. But in fact, these nobles didn't know that Lovednov was just bluffing, and in fact there were only a dozen soldiers who were actually brought to Merlin City. Next, Hornan began to make concrete deployments, and for two hundred years, a battle for power in Merlin City, which decided the fate of the Kingdom of Lorraine, began. (To be continued.) )
