Chapter 634 Chapter 593 Eastern Beacon

This obviously old man, at this moment, his eyes were so bright that they seemed to be able to directly shine into people's hearts. It's just that Camisiro lowered his head deliberately, and didn't meet the other party's eyes. He lowered his head and said a word softly: "Have you forgotten...I am your grandniece and son-in-law. This family... will always be mine in the future. But every person must find a way out for himself." These words were not loud, but word by word, fell into the ears of the old prime minister, causing the old man's expression to change slightly.

Finally, Rob Schell sat down slowly, patted his knee lightly, stared at Camisiro for a while, and then smiled: "Okay, get up." Camisiro raised his head and looked into the eyes of the old prime minister: "I was also very surprised. Unexpectedly, you have stood in the empire for decades, and you are wise and safe, but you are in the palace early, and there are people from you." "Be careful." The old prime minister gave Camisiro a sideways look. Camisiro smiled mockingly: "You taught me to pretend to be confused, to be clear, and not to speculate on the king's mind. But you yourself have eyeliner in the palace early... This is different from what you taught what."

"It's different." The old prime minister sneered, and the majesty of an imperial prime minister naturally appeared in his old eyes: "What is your status now? Minister of Military Affairs... Huh, but you are young and have insufficient qualifications. Boss, you may not be able to mobilize them. With your current status, you can be regarded as a first-class minister of the empire. But if it is really about the power in your hands, I am afraid that even the second-rate may not be able to touch it. Go! The position is high but the power is not important... With your status, I will teach you not to speculate on the king's mind, that is the right way, and it is for your own good."

As he said that, the old man sighed a little tiredly: "I am different. I have been rolling in the pool water of this imperial capital since I was twenty years old. I have been the governor of a place for four years. It can be said that I have sat in almost every department and official position in this empire! In the end, it took me half my life to be the prime minister of the empire. In my position, it is said It sounds better, it is under one person and above tens of thousands. To put it bluntly..." The old man suddenly smiled sarcastically: "If I meet a fatuous emperor, I have the power to say that crows are white, and he will only know that they are white!! Of course, this is disobedience, I certainly don't Yes. But... Ordinary courtiers don't need to speculate on the emperor's mind, they can just be a pure "courtier". But... I can't! The prime minister of the empire can't! Not to mention! So, what I tell you not to do is from your standpoint. However, from my standpoint, it must be done!"

Now that the old man let go of his heart, he simply said frankly: "I have understood in the early years that the position of the prime minister of the empire, holding the government of a country, can no longer be regarded as a pure minister, but... half a monarch and half a minister! Therefore, in the palace I must always understand the mind of that person. In fact, this kind of thing has happened in all ages. I had an eyeliner in the imperial city in my early years, and it has been there for many years. However, this eyeliner, I don’t usually plan any big things. Just asking for a piece of safe news, naturally it will not be easy to expose." Immediately, the old man gave Camisiro a sideways look: "It's just that I didn't expect these people to know that I was going to die, and they actually took refuge in you."

Camisiro laughed dryly: "As long as you are a human being, you always have to find a way out for yourself. Anyway, this home will be mine in the future. Are you going to hide me for the rest of your life?" Camisiro didn't hide anything, and directly said: "A few days ago, you fell ill in winter and couldn't manage the affairs. I take care of the affairs of this family. As a result, there are some strange secrets in the daily internal affairs of the family. The letter was delivered, but I didn't know where it came from. I got curious, so I checked it out, only to find that the contents of the secret letter were written in secret language. I understand—but you have forgotten what I do. I worked as an undercover agent for the Prince Regent for ten years under the command of the First Prince. The eyeliner and the secret words he got were actually not very clever. It took me a little effort to decipher them. Only then did I find out that the letter actually contained news from the palace, let alone that you have been so busy all these years , I have always had eyeliner in the imperial city. The letters are nothing more than trivial matters, such as how the regent has been eating recently, what kind of temper has Little Emperor Charlie lost, what books Princess Karina has read, how many days the regent has been busy with? The government did not go to see the queen and princess..."

"Hmph, I don't want to rebel, and I don't need to inquire about any major matters. As long as I know these trivial matters and have a general grasp of the situation in the palace." The old prime minister shook his head: "If I really inquire about some secrets If not, this eyeliner might have been exposed decades ago!" "It's just that trivial things are still valuable in the end." Camisiro smiled wryly: "There have been many new doctors in the palace recently. I'll pay attention to this matter." The old man pondered for a moment: "Since you also know, it seems that my eyeliner in the court has been subdued by you. Anyway, these will be handed over to you sooner or later..."

As he spoke, the old man turned around, found a pen from the table, and slowly wrote several lines on a piece of white paper. He looked up at Camisiro: "I have been an eyeliner in the imperial city for decades. Over the years, I have never deliberately pryed into the secrets of the royal family, but I pay attention to some seemingly ordinary daily things. You must know , Actually, many seemingly simple little things actually tell you a lot of secrets!" He handed over this piece of paper: "Historically, the palace physicians have regularly purchased some medicinal materials for the internal affairs of the palace, and kept them in the palace for later use. Over the years, what medicine to buy and how much to buy have become established rules. And Those court magicians... Hmph, the special potions used by the magicians were originally bought from the magic union, but the court magicians and the magic union are not the same, so the internal affairs of the palace have always been responsible for regular purchases. Since last year Since the beginning of the year, the palace's internal affairs purchase list has begun to change. Every time you purchase, there will be some special medicinal materials and magic potions that were not there before. It's not surprising. It may be that a certain magician is conducting some magic research, and there is a temporary need. However, since the beginning of last year, there have been such things added to the monthly list. Although the number of varieties changes occasionally, several of them The flavor medicine has remained unchanged."

He flicked the piece of paper in his hand: "What is written on this paper is that in the past few months, there are more new varieties in the purchase list than usual. I didn't care at first, but according to the usual practice, I still sent someone to a remote place in the south, asked a doctor to inquire, and figured out the effects and efficacy of the medicines on this list, and then calculated it, our regent..." The old man frowned tightly and sighed silently. Camisiro glanced at it, but kept it firmly in his heart, turned around and took the paper to a candle in the house, put the paper on it, and burned it to ashes.

He stood beside the fire, the flames reflected on his face, that young face flickered: "Since you have said everything...then, you must give me a clear explanation...in case, On that day, His Highness is gone, and Duke Tulip is having an affair with the royal family again. What should I do!" The old man closed his eyes: "I'm afraid I won't survive this spring... I won't see the day you mentioned. However, if there is such a day, you..." The door of the room was closed tightly, and no one heard the conversation between the two important officials of the empire, one old and one young, in this room, but the night wind outside gradually picked up, blowing the treetops in the yard, making rustling noises, as if the conversation in the house was disturbed. The voices are all covered up in this night...

... Nine hundred and sixty-six years of the Empire, the last day of March. Eastern stronghold of the Kaspersky Line. On the south bank of the dug artificial canal, some temporary barracks were built along the river in winter. These were for the mobilized river workers, and soldiers from several infantry regiments were stationed in winter.In order to ensure that the river does not freeze in winter, these people were prepared to dig ice in winter. As a result, this warm winter made all these preparations useless. At the beginning of spring, the river workers and troops stationed by the river were transferred back, and there were still a large number of chisels and shovels prepared in those temporary barracks. , Iron hoes and other tools have never been shipped back. Not far to the south is the Eastern Fortress.Although the scale of this fortress is slightly smaller than the main fortress in the middle, it can be called a rare big city on the mainland. Six divisions of the imperial army are stationed in this fortress, and the Storm Legion, which encloses three divisions, is The main force, plus three selected elites from the local garrison mobilized from various places, in addition to about 60,000 river workers and civilian husbands, and logistics and logistics troops. On the east side of the fortress, a gap was opened in the city wall, and a tall water tower was built. Below it was a 50-meter-wide diversion channel, which led directly to the canal, so that the transport fleet on the river could transport the water to the canal. The supplies are transported directly to the city. After the beginning of spring, the weather is getting warmer day by day, because there is a big river here as a natural barrier, and there are imperial naval warships patrolling on the river, and a small-scale warship fleet is stationed downstairs in the Water Walled City on the east side of the fortress. .Therefore, the scout cavalry of the empire still patrols out of the city every day, patrolling back and forth along the south bank of the canal. From this point of view, the situation on the eastern defense line is much easier than that of the central fortress. Although those barbaric racial enemies had underwater attacks on the fleet last year, but after that attack happened several times, it never happened again. It has been going on for half a year, but there has been no new situation, and finally it has gradually relaxed. On this morning, a cavalry of a centurion came out from the north gate of the fortress, first patrolled around the northern end of the fortress, and then divided into two teams, and went all the way to the left and all the way to the right to patrol along the south bank of the canal . These are the elite cavalry of the Storm Legion, wearing thick armor, carrying a cross-cutting sword held in one hand on their backs, and immediately hanging cavalry spears. Because the weather is getting warmer, the water flow on the big river is slow, and the morning sun shines on the river surface, dyeing the calm river water into a faint golden halo. The cavalry looked relaxed. There had been no major battles on the eastern defense line since the start of the war.Those savage race enemies must also know that the big river is insurmountable, so they have not attacked here—but I heard that after the beginning of spring, the main fortress in the central area fought two more fiercely. I heard that even the magicians were dispatched. There are also new holy rank powerhouses in the empire to assist in the battle. Under the leadership of the captain, the cavalry rode slowly, looking at the north bank from time to time. Usually, they would occasionally see some wolf cavalry patrolling the other side on the north bank, but there was a big river between them, and those wolf cavalry could not Come here, at most the two sides will look at each other across the river for a while, and then leave. Today, this team of cavalry who left the city took less than a meal, and suddenly saw that the cavalry captain in front raised his hand, and the team stopped immediately. The cavalry captain turned his head, his face was a little ugly: "Listen!" All the cavalry stopped their horseshoes together, and as expected, they heard a thick and rhythmic sound of "Hua Hua! Hua Hua! Hua Hua!" coming from the north! The voice seemed to be far away at first, but gradually, gradually, it faintly approached. And looking at the riverside beside him, the water on the river seems to be in this sound, the water surface is slightly and rhythmically shaken, shaken... The cavalry captain immediately took out his binoculars and looked towards the north bank. After only one glance, he was shocked immediately, and his face suddenly changed! In the small telescope lens tube, the picture appeared: above the vast wilderness to the north of the river, from a distance, the sky is everywhere, boundless, one by one is like ants, densely packed, with heads swarming, Swords and guns are like a black forest of steel! Thousands of feet trample on the ground, with a neat rhythm!The sound of neat footsteps, like thunder, beat on people's hearts.And during the march of the phalanx, the clinking sound of the armor colliding, turned into a piece, like a chilling note...
