Chapter 173 The Prince in the Dark

After Latorade finished the transaction, the caravan's vehicles and personnel increased a lot.

After selling the moonlight cloth and the extraordinary fruit, the extraordinary gold coins that Roland Hill would get was used to purchase a lot of local supplies. Here, the cloth is quite affordable.

Looking at the pile of old Gao's carriages, the wheels squeaked on the road, and people had to worry about whether they would crush the ruts.

Fortunately, the caravan eldest lady cast a spell to let the airflow hold up some of the weight, which made it a lot lighter to drive.

After packing up, the convoy restarted, following the winding road, slowly heading into the distant direction.

Sitting in the carriage, the body swayed slightly, and in front of Roland Hill stood a small silverfinch, and the girl just took a small folded letter from its feet.

'The late summer harvest has been completed and new seeds are now being planted...'

According to the brief description in the letter, now the first crops of Wenlani have been completed, and new crop seeds and system innovations have begun to be promoted throughout Longjiao Province. .

It seems to be going well, but there is another thing mentioned at the end of the letter, that is, the imperial army in the province seems to have sensed something wrong, and soon a team of investigators will be dispatched to the province to inspect.

It always feels so hard to hide. Roland Hill rubbed his head in distress. At this point in time, it was necessary to organize farmers to open up wasteland in a large area, and many details could not be concealed.

Where did the seeds come from, why the peasants were so obedient and in high spirits, what was going on with the new system on those billboards, and so on, it's hard to explain.

It's better to go back quickly and see if you can implicate the investigator, try to let the exposure time continue for a few months, and wait until Longjiao saves a batch of food to mature, and then you will have the confidence to resist the empire.

After talking to several captains of the caravan, Loren Hill prepared to return ahead of schedule.

"The journey after that will be handed over to Luna." Looking at the junior who just graduated from Emenas, Roland Hill is still very relieved, the only thing to worry about is some too greedy and bold nobles.

"No problem, I'll take the caravan and goods back to the Viscounty of Winrani." The girl raised her skirt lightly and saluted, then took a delicate purple folding fan and placed it on her chest.

"Then I'll go first, see you in half a month." The girl nodded, and then her figure turned into a breeze and disappeared into the sky.

Returning to the Viscounty of Winlani, Roland Hill quickly found Lubin in the office. The young man is still writing letters to the presidents of the various branches, telling them about the things to be vigilant and pay attention to recently.

"Sir, you're back." Because there was no one else in the office, the girl directly honored him.

"Well, I heard that the military sent a team of investigators to Longjiao Province."

"Do you know their route?"

"I don't know, but they will definitely go to several big cities in Longjiao Province. Now the branches of 'Fairy Wood' have paid attention." After speaking, he pointed to the map in front of him, which made a rough outline. mark.

"Most of the Longjiao Province is mountainous, and the cities are distributed in the canyons between the various mountains. The provincial capital, Tooth Crown City, is where several giant canyons meet."

"These investigators will probably also advance along the canyon, as long as they observe along the way, they can find it."

Looking at the map marked with each name, Roland Hill thought carefully.

stop? I am afraid it will be more suspicious.

Intercept? This simply shows that there is a problem in the counties of the province.

Let go? The large-scale reclamation and various new systems in the territory will immediately spread.

It seemed that no matter what he did, exposure could not be avoided, but Roland Hill recalled the news he obtained not long ago.

Maybe Li Daitaozong can let another organization attract their attention, such as the butler who confused the previous Viscount Wenlani, and the wolf bone alchemy workshop behind him.

You have to let these investigators have something to do, so they won't care about these changes in the territory.

After thinking about it, Roland Hill asked, "Has there been any results from the previous investigation of the 'Wolf Bone Alchemy Workshop'?"

"Nothing more specific, I just found out that they belong to 'Bone Gold', a peripheral organization of this faction."

"Isn't this very interesting? Maybe it can be a big news." Thinking of this, Roland Hill blinked, and the look couldn't help but want people to pinch the girl's cheeks, but unfortunately no outsiders saw it at this time. .

"Don't tell them deliberately, just let the other party know about such rumors and clues inadvertently."

"I understand, and staff will be arranged to do it later."

"Well, that's it, if it doesn't work, then we can only make the final preparations."

Although I don't want to start a war, if it is really impossible, it can only start.

The beginning of everything is difficult, but if you don't begin, there will be no end.

Just when Roland Hill was arranging personnel, various changes were also taking place in the imperial capital Titenia.

In the mansion of Earl Pate, a lively party is being held.

On the bright side, this is the birthday banquet of Earl Pate. Many nobles and nobles of the imperial capital gathered here, but in the dark room where many guests were not seen, all the guests put on masks, and under the guidance of the red-clothed messenger, they came to a place. in an underground room.

The candles were burning on the inside of the wall, and the lights shone on these faces. They moved forward quietly until they saw the young man sitting alone at the end of the long table, under the back of the high chair.

There was a dim gem lamp on the top of the boy's head, reflecting the short black hair, while his pupils were hidden in the shadow of the short hair, the black dress was decorated with gold thread, and his hands were folded in front of him. Covering his chin and face, this prince in the dark is so mysterious that many people are surprised.

Maybe they were dubious before they came here, but at this time they believed 80% in their hearts. Such a temperament is indeed qualified to become the ruler of the next generation of empire, even if he is still so young.

As expected of a descendant of His Royal Highness Ans Roy, this brother of Ans El was engaged to the daughter of Duke Griffin under the arrangement of the emperor at that time. Unfortunately, he died at his brother's wedding before he could get married.

But unlike Ansier, before he got engaged, he had a secret relationship, but the other party's identity was not high and he was not suitable to be the queen of the empire. This relationship had to end and was hidden in the dark.

But also because of this, the lover who left the last bloodline for the prince's brother, after giving birth to Elio, hid in the east, fearing the revenge of the current emperor, and never dared to reveal his identity until a few years ago in poverty and disease died in.

But now, the dark moon clan of the empire has finally recovered the lost royal blood of the people, and the old nobles who used to be loyal to the crown prince but were rejected by the emperor now have the backbone again.

The idea of ​​revival gradually became possible, they half-kneeled in front of the teenager, swore allegiance, and hoped to regain the lost power and position again under the leadership of the young king.

"The blood of my blood, the blue moon of the sky, you will not fall into the sky, under the true red, roses are everywhere."

Surrounded by the dark moon guards in red robes, these nobles swear devoutly one by one, cutting their wrists and letting blood drip to the ground.

The bright red liquid swam on the ground as if alive in the oath, and finally outlined a huge and delicate blood-colored rose.
