The last sentence is too shocking and the content is too shocking!

The empire was founded for thousands of years and has experienced many dynasties, but like the Emperor of the Pillar, he openly promised to a young guy under the age of twenty to be granted the title of Duke?!

Although awarding titles for merit is a legal system in the Byzantine Empire, its merits are both great and small. At the age of Shaya, who was under 20 years old, he had just won the baron (even this baron has not been officially enthroned yet), the emperor directly promised the next duke's title in front of everyone...

Such examples... are not without! There is! There is indeed! But in addition to being shocked, some people were thinking about it. After thinking for a long time, they were so popular and trusted by the emperor since the founding of the country... At a young age, there was indeed one who made great contributions as a white person and was named Duke.

Osgilia! Duke of Tulips!

Although the title is just a false title and cannot be compared with real power, the empire often has some high titles who are noble but only noble but have no real power. However... After all, it is too scary to throw out the title of duke in one sentence!!

But some people are gloating - this Xia is afraid that he will be in trouble!

The so-called greed of greed! The emperor threw out the title of Duke and bought Hasting's head! Who is Hasting? The first general in Odin's army! Since his emergence, the Byzantine army has suffered a lot! I don't know how many famous generals, fierce generals, warriors, brave generals and other guys in the army have all been lost in Hasting's hands!

I want to get Hasting's head for this duke... Humph, this kid is afraid he will suffer! Maybe he will send his head out before getting Hasting's head!

But some people think a little deeper...

In addition to the duke promised by His Majesty, there is another one: within three years, kill 30,000 Odin people and be named Count!

Although the Count is not as prominent as the Duke, once he becomes an Earl, he can be regarded as having the qualification to enter the core circle of the imperial power class!!

Hasting is hard to kill, but killing 30,000 Odin people in three years...it seems much less difficult. What's more... Humph, everyone knows the indiscriminate killing innocent people in the army! I just don't know if this Xia is the kind of cruel and ruthless person.

If he was cruel and ruthless, he would only slaughter the people and would have 30,000 heads in three years, he would not be unable to do it! Even if he was kinder, he would not be slaughter the people, spend money to search for Odin's slaves, and spend money to buy heads... it seems... Compared to the title of an earl, it would be a good deal.

Everyone was thinking a lot, but under the majesty of the emperor, everyone could only bow and answer together. The emperor rode a rifle and saw that many nobles nodded in agreement. The old emperor laughed, turned over and fell backwards, fell into a chair, and immediately snored loudly, drank drunk and fell asleep...

The Emperor of the Pillar was quickly carried down by the waiter, and the emperor immediately left. Everyone below suddenly became less restrained. For a moment, they surrounded Xia Ya. Many people raised their glasses to congratulate Xia Ya on being appreciated by the emperor, who knew, did not know, kind and malicious, and Xia Ya couldn't tell the difference between them clearly for the time being.

Finally, the country bumpkin was still three-point sober. He knew that there were only a lot of jealous people among these people, and he had no experience. If he said something randomly, he might be subjected to open and secret swords in such an occasion. He had a sudden inspiration and picked up a few big wine glasses and drank frequently, but he refused to say a word.

He pretended to be Lu Zhi, and others could do nothing about it. However, several generals from the eagle system saw Xia Ya's style and laughed in their hearts: This kid knows how to hide his weaknesses.

Sure enough, after drinking a few drinks, Shaya poured back and pretended to be drunk. A waiter next to him had already carried him down. Kato and Sharba, who were outside the banquet hall, came over and took Shaya back.

That night, everyone camped in the camp outside the hunting ground. Although Xia Ya was a baron, after all, the young Jue Qian only had a top tent outside the camp. The base of the guards guards on the outer side was very close to the outer garrison. This showed that the depth of relatives and nobles were. The higher the ranks and the more powerful people, the closer the tent they lived in was to the emperor's golden tent, and Xia Ya... he was still far from it.

Although Xia Ya pretended to be drunk, he actually drank a lot today. After returning to the tent, he fell asleep.

The next morning, Xia Ya heard the sound of the military horns, immediately turned over and got up, washed up in the tent with clean water, then put on her armor and went out.

Outside, the morning light was shallow and the sky was half gray and half white. Most of the camp was still in silence. It was obvious that the nobles were very late last night, and most of them had not yet gotten up.

The tent where Xia Ya lives was at the edge was alarmed by the sound of the early morning exercises of the Imperial Guard next to him. After he got up, he saw that the teams of Imperial Guards had already started the early morning exercises on the periphery of the camp!

The Imperial Guard is the most important army controlled by the royal family. The people in the army are all elites selected from the standing corps. They not only have outstanding personal qualities, but also have carefully identified their background and wealth.

At this moment, Xia Ya looked really extraordinary! The imperial guards who were in charge of this team were indeed strong and powerful. Not to mention anything else, in a prosperous place like the imperial capital, they were prepared for danger in times of peace. They had to go to Cao so early in the morning, and the military discipline was still strict. This alone should not be underestimated.

Xia Ya stood aside and watched the imperial guards' exercises for a while, which were divided into infantry and cavalry exercises. Infantry war was just a line-up and practiced formations. The cavalry exercises made Xia Ya excited. He was born in the Thirteenth Corps and naturally had a unique relationship with the cavalry. Seeing that these imperial guards' cavalry were neatly arranged and had excellent horsemanship, he practiced several cavalry frontal impacts and roundabout encirclement queues. Although it was just an exercise, it was obviously well-trained and worthy of being an elite soldier.

But... Xia Ya looked at it for a while, but she felt a strange feeling.

This imperial guard is not wrong with strong troops and horses. It is well equipped. The weapons and armor are one level stronger than the permanent corps he encountered. It goes without saying that. During training, the queue is skilled and the exercise is full of energy...

But... I always feel that something is missing from this army.

After thinking about it carefully, the local bloke vaguely found some clues.

It's indeed a little less... murderous!!

The murderous intent is invisible and invisible, but only those who have experienced it personally will know it naturally!

Even, according to Shaya himself, he had been in the Thirteenth Cavalry Corps and had also seen the exercises of the Thirteenth Cavalry Corps. It seemed that the horse team's charge, roundabout encirclement and other tactics seemed to be less rigorous than these imperial guards.

But when the cavalry of the Thirteenth Cavalry Corps rushed forward, the killing aura naturally came to his face! This is not an illusory thing, but the temperament that is truly tempered from the sea of ​​corpses and blood! It is a kind of desperate and bravery in the bones!

He suddenly remembered a sentence he had heard in the 13th Corps.

"Watching whether a soldier is a veteran is not the year when he joins the army and serves! A soldier, even if he only has three days of enlistment, has experienced a real life-and-death battle, then he is a veteran! And if he has been in the army for three years and has been practicing every day, if he has not been on the battlefield, he is still just a raw melon seed."

"No wonder." Xia Ya muttered in a low voice: "These imperial guards are stationed in the imperial capital all year round, and there will be opportunities to experience some wars there. Although they are skilled in the exercises, they have no murderous aura and are not considered real elite soldiers."

Then Sharba and Kato had already gotten up and left the tent. Both were from Iron Army, so they naturally got used to their careers in the military camp. After getting up early, they saw that Xia Ya was already dressed neatly. The three of them looked at each other and looked at the camp of the nobles who were still silent in the distance. The three of them showed some disdain.

On the contrary, the voice of the Imperial Guard made the three of them feel a little closer.

Then Chara and Sharbakato took out their swords and started the drill in front of the tent. Although they were not in the army, morning training was a daily course. The three of them practiced swordsmanship and killing defense skills for a while, and then Shaa and Kato fought against Chara. For a moment, they heard the ping-pong and beat together. The three of them were sweating happily and felt relieved. The smell of alcohol last night was finally emitting cleanly.

Xia Ya and her entourage got up in the camp in the morning to practice martial arts. Although the Emperor Riding a Gun had never witnessed it with his own eyes, someone below quietly rewarded the emperor. It was almost noon after the emperor got up. After hearing this, he felt relieved and felt that he had really read the wrong person. This kid was in the imperial capital, but he did not lose his true nature. He was a charming talent.

In the morning, the emperor was drunk and couldn't get up, so everyone moved freely. Xia Ya had been with the emperor yesterday and had no chance to hunt. He was a hunter and could not help but feel itchy. This morning, he simply took Sharba and Kato to the forest farm. After half a day, he had a rich harvest.

When Chara hunted, he not only relied on archery, but also showed his own methods together, jumped up and down in the woods, and set traps. In one morning, he didn't even shoot a few arrows, and the prey he got was far better than the sum of Sharba and Kato.

In contrast, although Sharba and Kato have served in the 13th Corps for many years and have been stationed in the wild for many years, their survival skills in the wild are much worse than those of Chara, an authentic mountain hunter.

The three of them no longer had the pretentious nobles next to them, and their behavior was much more refreshing than yesterday. They simply rode their horses and chased their prey in the forest.

Just after wandering around in the forest for a long time, Xia Ya suddenly saw a white shadow flashing in the forest, as fast as lightning! Xia Ya immediately shouted: "It's the snow fox!!"

Snow foxes usually only grow in cold climates in the north, with snow-white fur, which is extremely rare. In addition, this animal is cunning and alert by nature, even the most powerful hunters are difficult to capture. Therefore, the fur of snow foxes is extremely expensive in the market, and the nobles are proud to be able to wear snow furs!

Although Xia Ya knew about the snow fox, she had never hunted such things on the wildfire field. When she saw it, she couldn't help but feel happy when she saw the hunting. She shouted and chased her two companions.

He refused to shoot the arrow but shot, for fear of shooting the fox's fur, so he struggled to chase the horse and consumed the snow fox's physical strength first. This snow fox was originally the guardian of the royal garden, and was captured in the north and then stocked here for the royal nobles to hunt and enjoy. This kind of free-range animal was originally less ambition than the real wild animals, and its nature had deteriorated a lot. He was chased by Xia and the other two, but was gradually approached.

"Scatter left and right! Surround it!"

Chara shouted, Kato and Sharba were both born in cavalry, and it was natural to say that the equestrian was excellent, and they were separated from each other and detoured from the side.

Xia Ya rode a horse and chased after him, but the little beast was running around in the grass. Xia Ya was anxious and never brought a hunting dog or falcon or something. At this moment, the lion fought against the rabbit, but it was powerful but had nowhere to use it.

After this pursuit, Xia Ya ran so hard that she didn't know how far she had chased. She shuttled through the forest for a long time, but even the left and right Sharba and Kato disappeared. He was not anxious, but was inspired to catch this little beast today.

Along the way, he set off an arrow and shot it from side to side, not to hurt the fox, but to deter it from running away. Fortunately, Xia Ya brought a bag of ordinary goose-feathered arrows when she came out. Otherwise, the iron-ridge armor-breaking arrow would be unbearable to consume.

After chasing this, seeing that the fox in front had already run out of his tongue, gradually getting slower and slower, Xia Ya was happy in her heart. Suddenly, the ground in front of her suddenly went up a hillside, and she rode her horse to catch up. She saw a wide open in front of her, and the surrounding forest spread to the left and right, but there was a calm lake in front of her.

This lake is surrounded by the royal gardens and is not very large in area. It is only about a hundred meters in size. The lake surface is as calm as a mirror. The lake water is green, but it seems like a huge piece of jade embedded in the mountains.

The grass by the lake is green. Although it is the time when winter goes and spring changes, it has no sign of destruction, but it is full of vitality.

What surprised Xia Ya was that there was a person standing by the lake!

A woman stood by the lake, wearing a snow-white cloak. The cloak seemed to be made of velvet and was worn on a woman, full of nobleness. The woman looked sideways to the bottom and stared at the lake water. Her long blue hair was loose, but she just put a golden headband on her forehead. Her skin was as bright as snow. Although the cloak was spacious, it still showed a bit of graceful figure.

Although Xia Ya's aesthetic concept is still a little blurred at this moment, after going to the Fengyue Place with Ruhr Green, she gradually realized that she was probably fooled by the old guy, and her beauty and ugliness were reversed. It was just that many years of habits could not be changed at once... At this moment, the woman standing by the lake stood in the wind, like a goddess in the smoke. If she changed to any man, she would be amazed and moved at first glance, but when Xia Ya looked at it, she was just a little stunned and didn't care.

Xia Ya didn't have time to think about how there would be a woman in this royal garden. She just thought about the snow fox. He chased her all the way and had already deducted a few gold coins in his hand. Seeing that the snow fox slowed down, he suddenly raised his hand and a few gold coins were spreading like golden light in the sky. He was as accurate as he was, but Mr. Xia Ya was rich now and was hit with gold. He hit someone with gold. He could not dodge at all. The snow fox was hit by two gold coins. He rolled and fell to the ground. Xia Ya laughed, rode his horse over, bent down and was about to lift the fox up. He didn't expect that the beast was pretending to be dead. Seeing Xia Ya coming to stop the horse, he suddenly turned over and jumped up again, rushed a few steps, but rushed to the side of the woman by the lake.

The woman was shocked, but the snow fox sneered and rushed into the woman's arms, revealing her furry head, and staring at Xia Ya with a pair of dripping eyes alertly, making a few "chubby" whine from her mouth.

Xia Ya was a little overwhelmed. He turned over and dismounted, strode to the lake, and came to the woman. At this moment, the distance was close, and he could see the woman's appearance clearly.

She looked only in her early twenties, only two or three years older than Xia Ya. She had a pair of big eyes as autumn water, with clear eyes in her eyes, but a hint of sorrow - but these eyes were enough to make people forget other parts of her appearance!

It’s not that she was born ugly, but her appearance was also very beautiful according to ordinary people, but these eyes seemed to be full of strange charm, and their eyes were big and bright, and full of agility! Even though Xia Ya’s standards of beauty and ugliness were a little blurred at this moment, she had to instinctively stretch out a feeling: she just felt that this woman’s eyes were really beautiful! Among all the people she saw in her life, no one’s eyes could be as attractive as this woman’s eyes.

"That... this lady." Xia Ya grabbed her head and bowed slightly to her salute--this action made him feel a little puzzled! It seemed that the woman's eyes looked at her, and the indescribable nobleness on the other party seemed to have a kind of holy and nobleness, which made people feel ashamed of themselves and dare not desecrate her. A country bumpkin like Xia Ya couldn't help but speak a little politely, and even took the initiative to salute, "This... the fox in your arms is my prey, please give it back to me."

The woman stared at Xia Ya carefully, with a little curiosity in her eyes, her eyes flashed, and then her eyes drooped. A slender hand was pressed on the fox's head and gently stroked it twice. The fox's furry head suddenly fell down: "This general, what did you... call me just now?"

"Uh?" Xia Ya was stunned: "What am I calling you? Ah, dear lady...that, lady? ma'am?"

The woman looked at Xia Ya, and her eyes suddenly showed a smile, her bright eyes were curved, like two crescent moons. When she smiled, her eyes were gentle and covered her body. Even Xia Ya couldn't help feeling a little fluttering, her face turned red for no reason, and she hesitated for a moment, but couldn't speak.

"This general, don't you recognize me?"

It is undeniable that this woman's voice is very nice, with a gentle and delicate voice, but without any charming taste, and is gentle and amiable.

"This..." Xia Ya was a little impatient: "I was the first to the imperial capital not long ago...that..."

He looked at the snow fox in the woman's arms.

"Well, are you newly transferred from the Imperial Guard?" The woman looked at Xia Ya and thoughtfully, then nodded. She walked slowly over, but passed Xia Ya, and her tone returned to its coldness, as if she mentioned the "Imperial Guard". She faintly showed a bit of indifference. She walked past Xia Ya and threw a faint sentence: "Just, my horse ran away, my servant went to chase the horse, but left me alone here. Please send me back."

This was said easily, but it seemed to have a sense of proper taste. Xia Ya felt a little unhappy and looked at the back of this woman... When this woman walked, her figure was graceful, especially her long legs wrapped in a cloak, with curves looming - unfortunately, Xia Ya, the country bumpkin, didn't know how to appreciate these beauty.

At this moment, he only remembered the snow fox that he had been chasing for a long time. Seeing that the woman was hugging her, she had no intention of returning her, and she still pointed at her to send her back?

Damn, what is this uncle? Is it your servant?!

Xia Ya was angry and snorted: "Hey! Stop!"

With this loud shout, the woman was frightened, turned around suddenly, frowned and looked at Xia Ya.

Xia Ya strode to chase after you and said angrily: "You woman is so unreasonable! You rob me of prey and don't know how to return it, and I'll give it back... I won't talk nonsense to you, I will return it to me!"

After saying that, he stretched out his big hand and snatched it. The woman seemed to be stunned. Unexpectedly, there was a man in the world who dared to be so powerless to him. Seeing Xia Ya's big hand reaching out, she exclaimed, holding the snow fox and trying to dodge, but Xia Ya took action, how could she, a weak woman, dodge? But this dodge was broken...

Xia Ya felt her hand holding the woman's arms. When she closed her palms, she immediately felt a lush and soft thing with a soft and elastic thing. It was so big that she was held by herself...

Yi? This feel...

Xia Ya felt a little confused in her heart, subconsciously—well, really, it was purely a subconscious action.

The rustic pig's palm was deliberately squeezed twice...

Silence... for a few seconds...

"Ah!!!!" The woman suddenly widened her eyes, screamed, and her body jumped back like an electric shock, then staggered and fell to the ground.
Chapter completed!
