„It seems like an empty city.”
“看来又是一个空城。”Colinis looking out the silver foxcity of distant place, saidwith a smile.
柯林遥望着远处的银狐城,笑着说道。Marquis Garcianods, said: „Studiedintelligently.”加西亚侯爵点了点头,道:“都学聪明了。”
The northernboundaryarmyhas not stayedin the falconcityis too long, Mensacomes visiting the second dayaftercardinalBishop, the armystarts off , to continue towardsouth the line.
北境大军在猎鹰城并没有停留太久,门萨依枢机主教来访后的第二天,大军就重新上路,继续往南而行。But when theyarrive in the nextcities, the discoverylocalfeudal lordhas actually led the familyarmyto slip away.
但当他们抵达下一个城镇时,却发现当地领主早已率领家族军队溜之大吉了。Naturally, the clergy in localchurchbasicallywere also exposed, it is estimated that was worriedoneselfbecomenextDennyBishop.
当然,当地教会的神职人员也基本跑光了,估计都是担心自己成为下一个丹尼主教。Behindtwobaronsone after anotherlead are the same, butsilver foxcity that nowthisWesleyfamilygoverns, it seems likealsosimilarlyso.
后面接连的两个男爵领都是一样,而现在这个卫斯理家族治下的银狐城,看来也同样如此。
The frontseveralfeudal lordsrespond the summons that RinehartGreat Emperorwarmadeit is said that went toRoyal Dragon Cityto assemble, preparesto support the westernboundary.
前面几家领主据说都是响应莱因哈特大帝战争令的号召,前往御龙城集结,准备支援西境了。Thistalked certainly nonsense.
这当然是扯淡。
The warmade the accumulation time of requestis at the end of March, butnowalso in February/two months......
战争令要求的集结时间是三月末,但现在还在二月……Moreover, afterwardtoease the empirefinancial pressure, RinehartGreat Emperorstillissued the warcommandat the suggestion ofnumerouspositioncabinet minister, changes toassemblesin two groups.
而且,后来为了缓解帝国财政压力,莱因哈特大帝还在众位内阁大臣的建议下重新下发了战争令,改为分两拨集结。
Before deadline of the end of March, the majorfeudal lords only need send outhalf of fixedarmyto be OK.
三月末的期限之前,各大领主只需派出额定军队的一半就可以了。Therefore, these„fleeing at the mere distant sight of” the feudal lords, tonot respondobviouslyrecruit the command, butdoes not wantto be forcedby the northernboundary, returns to the road of falconcityfeudal lordViscountBenson.
所以,这些“望风而逃”的领主们,明显不是为了响应征召令,而是不想被北境胁迫,重蹈猎鹰城领主本森子爵的覆辙。Thus it can be seen, mostfeudal lordsare not willingto board the pirate ship of northernboundaryatthis time.
由此可见,大部分领主还是不愿在这个时候登上北境的贼船。Especiallyis fuzzyinRinehartGreat Emperorattitude, evendisplaysfaintlyandindiscontented of the situationtonorthernboundarydreading.
尤其是在莱因哈特大帝态度模糊,甚至隐隐表现出对北境的忌惮和不满的情况下。HoweverColin will therefore not certainly flinch.
不过柯林当然也不会因此就退缩。Achieves the great accomplishment, mostabstainsis overcautious and indecisive.
做大事,最忌讳的就是瞻前顾后。Let alone, inColinhandis also graspingVerathiscard in a hand, canstopthisdangerousgamemomentarily.
更何况,柯林手中还握着薇拉这张底牌,随时可以叫停这场危险的游戏。Naturally, before compellingchurchappropriatechip, Colinis not definitely willingeasilyto stopthisgame.
当然,在没有逼出教会合适的筹码之前,柯林肯定是不愿轻易停止这场游戏的。„Isn't ViscountWesley in the city?”
“卫斯理子爵不在城内吗?”Enters the city gate that opens, ColinaskstoWesleyfamilystewards who comingto greet.
走进敞开的城门,柯林对前来迎接的卫斯理家族管家问道。„RespectableSirCount Angelie, my familymasterhas deferred to the request that your majestywarmade, leading the familyarmyto go toRoyal Dragon Cityto assemble, thereforeis unable to welcomeyourarrivalpersonally. Ifyoudid not mind, but alsopleaseletmeleadyouto go to the silver foxfortto take a restslightly!”
“尊敬的安格列伯爵大人,我家老爷已经按照陛下战争令的要求,率领家族军队前往御龙城集结了,所以无法亲自迎接您的到来。如果您不介意,还请让我带您前往银狐堡稍作休息!”Colindoes not haveawkwardseniorsteward, nodswalkstoward the city.
柯林也没为难一个老管家,点点头就往城内走去。Thesefeudal lordsdareto drop out the cityto travel, knows the northernboundaryarmy, even ifwill enter the citynot to destroywantonly.
这些领主们敢抛下城池跑路,也是知道北境大军就算入城也不会大肆破坏。After all the northernboundarythistimeis to force the churchto yield, rather thanreallybreaks into the redflamelead(er).
毕竟北境这次是要逼迫教会让步,而不是真的入侵绯焰领。If the northernboundaryarmyreallyruns amuckinthesecities, thatinsteadcenterchurchbelowbosom.
如果北境大军真的在这些城市里面胡作非为,那反而正中了教会的下怀。
The behavior that the attitudeambiguousimperial familywill not tolerate the northernboundaryperhaps, mustopenlyannounce the St. Hildefamilyfor the empirepublic enemies.
原本态度暧昧的皇室也绝不会容忍北境的行为,恐怕也要公开宣布圣希尔德家族为帝国公敌了。Enters the silver foxfort, Colinwashes, changedcleanclothes, justpreparedto strollin the castle, butjustopened the door, was informedby the aide, the Empress Midellaemperorarrived in the silver foxcity.
进入银狐堡,柯林洗漱一番,换了一身干净的衣服,刚准备在城堡里面逛逛,但刚开门,就被侍从告知,弥黛拉皇后的车驾抵达银狐城了。Therefore, Colinreturns to the roomto put on the armorhastily, goingcity gategreets.
于是,柯林又连忙回屋穿上铠甲,前去城门口迎接。Whenherushes tocity gate, seesMarquis Garciato holdEmpress Midellato go down the carriage, laterin the car(riage)jumps downtwodiminutiveforms- Harrisonimperial princeandPrincessJudy.
等他赶到城门口,就见加西亚侯爵已经扶着弥黛拉皇后走下马车,随后车中又跳下两个矮小一些的身影-哈里森皇子和朱蒂公主。
The northernboundaryfeudal lords who city gateall assembledthistimehad accompanied the armed forcesto come, see thatsalutein abundance the regardsto the empress.
城门口已经聚齐了这次随军前来的北境领主们,见状纷纷向皇后行礼问候。Colinalsostandsin the front row of crowd, bends downto salute.
柯林也站在人群的前列,俯身行礼。Incense stick|Fragrantwindraids, Colinsets out, seesEmpress Midellato arrive at itselfnearby.
一阵香风袭来,柯林直起身,就见弥黛拉皇后已经走到自己跟前。„Empress.”
“皇后殿下。”„Count Angelie.”In the Empress Midellabeautifuleyepupil seems glittering the different kindray, „HarrisonandJudyare talking overyouall day, it seems like your teacherworks asverycompetent.”
“安格列伯爵。”弥黛拉皇后明媚的眼眸中似乎闪烁着别样的光芒,“哈里森和朱蒂可是整天念叨着你,看来你这个老师当得非常称职啊。”Colinshows a faint smile saying: „CanobtainHarrisonimperial prince and affection of PrincessJudy, ismybeing honored.”
柯林微微一笑道:“能得到哈里森皇子和朱蒂公主的喜爱,是我的荣幸。”„After that alsoneededyouto take the trouble.”Empress Midellasaidmeaningfully.
“那以后还需要你多费心了。”弥黛拉皇后意味深长地说道。Colinis pondering over the meaning of empress, sawHarrisonimperial princeandPrincessJudyalsoarrived at itself, salutedto send regards:
柯林正琢磨着皇后的意思,就见哈里森皇子和朱蒂公主也来到了自己跟前,行礼问候道:„Teacher!”
“老师!”Colinnodstowardtwolittle fellowswith a smile, puts out a handto pat the racketonHarrisonimperial princeshoulder, rubbedPrincessJudy'ssmallhead.
柯林朝两个小家伙笑着点点头,伸手在哈里森皇子肩膀上拍了拍,又揉了揉朱蒂公主的小脑袋。Possiblymessed upPrincessJudy'shair, immediatelybrought in the charm in anger of little miss.
可能是弄乱了朱蒂公主的头发,顿时引来了小姑娘的一阵娇嗔。
The peopleare not longin the city gatestay, quickthenreturned to the silver foxfort.
众人没有在城门口停留太久,很快便又回到了银狐堡。AlthoughViscountWesleybrought the armyto run, but the familychefs and aidesalso, themat the request of Colin, held a grandwelcome banquet.
卫斯理子爵虽然带着军队跑了,但家族厨师和侍从还都在,他们在柯林的要求下,举办一场盛大的欢迎晚宴。Does not know that togo flatintentionally, Colinordered the nice wine of soldier'scollectionin the silver foxfortwine cellar to move, making the northernboundaryfeudal lordsdrink to heart's content.
不知道是不是为了故意撒气,柯林命令士兵将银狐堡酒窖中珍藏的好酒全部搬了上来,让北境领主们痛饮了一场。Wesleyfamilystewardsare loving dearly the corners of the mouthto twitchat the same time, butactuallydoes not dareto speakoppositionwords.
卫斯理家族管家在一边心疼得嘴角抽搐,但却根本不敢说一声反对的话。Afterbanquet, the peopledepartin abundance.
宴会过后,众人纷纷离去。Colinjustwent out of the hallgate, is detainedby the maidservant who Empress Midellasends:
柯林刚走出厅门,就被弥黛拉皇后派来的侍女挽留住:„CountSir, the empressinvitedyouto attend the latertea party.”
“伯爵大人,皇后殿下邀请您参加待会儿的茶会。”„Good.”
“好。”Colinnods, arrives by a banquet hallsmallroomundermaidservant'sleadership.
柯林点点头,在侍女的带领下来到宴会大厅旁边的一个小房间。„Count Angelie, sits, does not needto restrict.”Empress Midellastancelazyslanting by sofa, smilestowardentranceColin.
“安格列伯爵,坐吧,不用拘束。”弥黛拉皇后姿态慵懒地斜靠在沙发椅上,朝门口的柯林嫣然一笑。„Yes, Empress.”Colincomplied withone, goes forwardto sit downon the Empress Midellaright handsofa.
“是,皇后殿下。”柯林应了一声,上前在弥黛拉皇后右手边的沙发椅上坐下。Marquis Garciasitsopposite ofhim, seeingColincomes is onlysilentnod , has greeted.加西亚侯爵就坐在他对面,见柯林进来只是沉默着点了点头,算是打过招呼。
The maidservantsare stepping the lithestep, presents the flower-scented green tea and dried fruit, laterdepartsquietly.
侍女迈着轻盈的步伐,呈上花茶和果干,随后悄然离去。Colinlooks on the table the onlythreeteacups, realizesparticipationpersonnelalsotheir three people of thistea party.
柯林看着桌案上仅有的三个茶杯,才意识到这场茶会的参加人员也就他们三人。„Howyouwith the meeting that Mensadoes depend on?”Empress Midellaputs out a handto carry the teacup, simultaneouslyin the mouthasked.
“你们跟门萨依的会面怎么样?”弥黛拉皇后伸手端起茶杯,同时口中问道。Colinshot a look atMarquis Garcia, seeshimnot to have the meaning of reply, the access road/simply said:
柯林瞥了一眼加西亚侯爵,见他没有回答的意思,便道:„It is not very happy. Attitude that Mensadepends onbeyond expectationstrong, as ifdoes not have anypeacesolvesthis matter'swish.”
“很不愉快。门萨依的态度出乎意料地强硬,仿佛没有任何和平解决此事的意愿。”„Youknow that Mensadoes depend on why so strong?”Empress Midellasippedtealightly, in the cup the transpiration, but the densemist makes one unable to see clearlyherfacial features.
“你知道门萨依为什么这般强硬吗?”弥黛拉皇后轻抿了一口茶水,杯中蒸腾而起的氤氲雾气让人看不清她的面容。Colinis consideringreplying: „Iguess that hedisplaysintentionallystrongly, onetypereducesourexpectedmethods, is goodto facilitate the follow-upnegotiations......”
柯林斟酌着答道:“我猜他是故意表现得强硬吧,一种降低我们预期的手段,好方便后续的谈判……”„Said,youthoughtdiscussedaccording toalsosomewithMensa?”Empress Midellaaskedwith a smile.
“这么说,你觉得跟门萨依还有的谈?”弥黛拉皇后笑着问道。Colinlooks at the happy expression on empressface, immediatelyrealizesperhapsoneselfomittedanything, askedhastily:
柯林看着皇后脸上的笑意,立刻意识到自己恐怕遗漏了什么,连忙问道:„Is it possible thatMensaaccording tonotincoquettish, butreallydoesn't think the peace talks?”
“莫非门萨依并不是在故作姿态,而是真的不想和谈?”Empress Midellaputs down the teacup, satstraight the body, the complexionsuddenlybecameserious, said:弥黛拉皇后放下茶杯,坐直了身体,脸色忽然变得严肃起来,道:„Right, withMensaaccording toyoucannot discuss that anything, heprobablyisin the middle of the churchhigh level, person who mostis hostile toward the northernboundary.”
“没错,跟门萨依你们是谈不出任何东西的,他大概是教会高层当中,最为仇视北境的人了。”
