Chapter 960: Bastard
The remaining three princes who are capable of competing for the heir apparent, as Rein mentioned before, are the eldest prince Howson, the second prince Julian, and the fourth prince Seves. ?To read the book · 1?k?a book nshu · Regarding these three people, Rein naturally did not speak as much as Hoy did.
The eldest prince Howson joined the army early, and he joined the most dangerous "Night Walking Black Wolf Army" at the border. The Black Wolf Army has been guarding the gray area bordering the Shadow Principality for many years. It belongs to the kind of desperate army that has no wars and fights on its own. Howson has been in such an army for many years, and he has naturally developed a murderous look all over his body. It can be said that among the few princes, murderousness is the first, combat power is the first, and arrogance is the first. And with the support of the Black Wolf Army from top to bottom, even leaving aside his status as a prince, his strength is undeniably strong.
Pushing it one level deeper, the Night Walking Black Wolf Army and the Grizzly Bear Armored Army guarding the Empire Hall Moser are all elite troops under the Imperial Marshal Rodke. As his backer. Just in order not to fall into the trap, not only did the Imperial Marshal not verbally support Howson, but at his behest, several military chiefs even complained about the prince.
But if anyone really thinks that His Highness the First Prince cannot get the support of the military, then they are really blind.
Besides, the second prince Julian, in fact, his background is the palest among the several princes. His mother, Daenerys, was born in a common family, although because of Julian's birth, the family also received royal care. It has developed rapidly in the past ten years, but it is difficult to compare with the mother's family of Howson and Seves. However, Julian has another identity that cannot be ignored. He is the only student of the Imperial Chancellor Naibert.
If the Imperial Marshal Rodke is the head of the military department, then the Prime Minister Naibert is the ultimate civil servant.
Nai Bote was highly valued by the emperor. Although he was born as a commoner, his official career was unimpeded, and he was on the rise all the way. Now he is on an equal footing with a military boss like Rodke, even if the fourth prince of the empire sees him, he has to say hello. As for the other celebrities and aristocrats in the empire, who wouldn't give this Royal Prime Minister a little bit of shame. Read the book? · 1? · Julian is a student of Naibert, and he is a good dancer, and he is quite supported by the officials of the common people in the imperial capital.
The first prince relied on the heavy weapons of the military department, while the second prince relied on officials from Naibert's lineage. As for the four princes, Sevez relied on his mother's family. To be more precise, it was his uncle Ma Sen who was known as the Sword Lord.
Sword Lord Mason, as one of the Four Dukes of the Empire, is also a member of the Ten Saints of the Empire. Regardless of his family background, he is tough and tough. With him supporting Sevez, the fourteen-year-old fourth prince naturally has the strength to deal with his two elder brothers. It's just that when Huo Yi mentioned the Fourth Prince, he mentioned another matter. That incident was related to Mason. It turned out that Mason also participated in the power struggle of the previous generation of crown princes, but he lost to the current Emperor Targaryen.
So this time Mason supported his nephew, who could tell whether the duke would be attached to the imperial power and wanted to use Servez's identity to get his hands on the Iron Throne?
It's not impossible,
After all, the fourth prince is still young, and Sevez's temperament is not the kind of competitive type. In the secret fight between him and his two elder brothers, the Duke Mason was almost always behind the scenes.
This is the so-called rivalry between the crown princes that Huo Yi said. As for the faction, it is very complicated and the contradictions are deep-rooted. It is not only a struggle between the old and new forces of the empire, but also involves the final candidate of Chu Qun, which can only be explained clearly in one or two sentences.
When they left, Alan asked Huo Yi for advice on how to deal with himself after he arrived in Beijing.
Huo Yi said a very interesting sentence: "One word, fight. Beat all opponents to the ground, and beat yourself into His Majesty's sight, and you will have a chance to achieve what you want. The empire is martial, our land was originally It was snatched from the hands of the Shadow Principality, and this has been deeply rooted in everyone's bone marrow. To His Majesty, there is no greater reason than a fist. Your fist is hard enough and big enough. , so that His Majesty can hear your voice.?? You need to read?? Books?ww?w?·1· Otherwise, don’t mention anything.”
At that time, Allen was shocked. Obviously, the old Marquis could see that what he wanted was something Julian couldn't give.
Finally Hoy said something to him.
Now the emperor's assessment of the crown prince has not yet been announced, and the princes are left to fight secretly. And when Julian intends to recruit Alan, the southern knight, the wrestling of the three princes may be transferred to him, which is more difficult to deal with than Hoy's gun. After listening to Allen, although his heart sank, he never wavered in his decision to go north.
What he wants, not only Julian can't give it, but other princes can't give it. So he went north, not for any prince. Including Julian, it was just a springboard for him to enter the sight of His Majesty.
The wedding of Orlando and Ruola was scheduled to be held two days later, and Allen and his party were arranged to stay in the largest Iron Horse Hotel in Gun City. Due to Alan's noble status, he was allocated a quiet and elegant room in the hotel, with three halls and five rooms, enough for Alan and the others.
The girls Lucy and Adele couldn't sit still, so they picked up the mosasaur knights who had been on duty at the end and went out for a stroll. Orlando is getting married, the atmosphere in the city is strong, and there are lively things to watch everywhere, how can young people live in leisure? Allen wanted to go for a walk, but he had fought against Huo Yi earlier and gained a little. So he simply pressed his mind and recalled every detail of the fight with Horn in his room, and it paid off.
Before I knew it, it was evening.
During this period, a member of the Dark Blade sent a secret letter, saying that Edward and others will arrive at Jedgar tomorrow morning. The letter also stated that Edward not only brought in a hundred guards, but also had a caravan. Judging by this posture, Edward was thinking about making a big splash. Allen smiled and crumpled the secret letter into ashes, clapping his hands away.
When it was time for dinner, Orlando came. As soon as the son of the iron gun arrived, he dragged Alan outside without any explanation, saying that he wanted Alan to witness his last moment as a single nobleman.
After leaving the hotel, Orlando patted his chest and said, "Don't worry, it's just you and me. I promise no third person will disturb you. But..."
He glanced at Nelly, who was following Allen, and whispered, "It's nice to have your guard by your side, but it's just not so convenient to do many things. So you see..."
At the end of Alan's reply, Nelly said with a blank expression: "I don't care at other times, but today I am on duty. I must be there where Lord Alan is. Mr. Orlando doesn't need to care about me, as long as I am air. "
Allen spread his hands, making it clear that he couldn't get rid of Nelly. Orlando gave her a hard look, and sighed: "Since you said so, don't blame me for not saying hello to you in advance. The place where I will take you, an adult, tonight is a gentle place for men."
Nellie narrowed her beautiful, dangerous eyes.
Nightrose is a tavern, and the largest and most expensive tavern in Yedgari. Orlando had already booked a spacious and quiet box in advance. When the foolish son of the iron gun brought Alan to the door of the tavern, the bartender in charge of the reception recognized him immediately and greeted him with a smiling face. Without further ado, Orlando threw a bag of gold coins at the other party and said, "I've booked a room, and I'm going to have sex with my good friend tonight. Stop talking nonsense and bring your best wine and most beautiful women Call me. Dare to be perfunctory to me, and be careful that I will tear down your night roses."
Allen was amused. Orlando's wicked behavior reminded him of Leon, who was also a master who used his status to crush people to death.
Hearing Orlando calling wine and calling women, Nellie's face was a little ugly. Orlando looked at her provocatively, and deliberately smiled at her, so angry that the Mosasaurus Knight wanted to punch this nasty man in the face.
The bartender led Orlando inside, and Allen said to Nelly, "No one dares to do anything to me in Gun City, or should you go back first?"
"Don't worry, Master Allen, this scene won't frighten me." Nelly said through gritted teeth.
Allen shrugged, and without further persuasion, he took Nelly to the gate. Originally, Orlando was enough to be eye-catching. Wherever this guy went, someone raised a glass to him. Allen walked behind him, also grabbing some sight. Especially the woman who came to the hotel to get drunk looked Alan up and down, her eyes wished to eat the young and handsome man behind Orlando alive.
For this reason, Nelly would always stare back at these gazes. But in this way, she attracted more attention than Allen. Naga women are naturally soft-boned, and even though Nari, a knight, is full of heroism and wears neutral clothes, she still can't hide her charm. Even though she is staring at people fiercely, it is still a pleasing picture. If she hadn't obviously followed Orlando, most of the roses in the night were prodigal sons, and they couldn't help but want to strike up a conversation.
In this way, Allen is not so eye-catching, even though he has an extremely rare silver gray.
Walking into the box, without so much attention, Nari's expression softened a little. But as soon as Orlando and Alan sat down, young girls suddenly poured in from outside the door, ranging in age from fifteen to twenty-seven, there were as many as eleven or twelve, and it was immediately crowded. box. Orlando seemed to be a regular customer of the tavern, and he was also familiar with this group of women, and he could call each other's names casually. He pointed at Allen and shouted: "Listen, this is the protagonist tonight. Drink with him, a cup of one hundred gold coins. Get him drunk, I will reward one thousand."
Orlando paused, looked at Alan mischievously, and yelled: "Sleep him, no matter how many people, each come to me to receive 10,000 gold coins!"
Suddenly the whole box was silent, and then the women screamed and scrambled to squeeze Alan's body. Seeing Nelly's eyes spit fire, even Alan couldn't help but cursed in his heart: Bastard!
