Baron Xilun enumerated the benefits one by one, and when he heard Count Eliot nodding his head frequently, the general, who had always been known for his iron will, took a deep breath and said, "You are right, I think I am old." ”

"I've never been so forward-looking as I am now, and I'm not going to be able to go home in a few years. ”

After speaking, he looked at the subordinates in front of him with admiration: "It is estimated that you will have to take over this shift in the future." ”

Baron Xilun was first surprised when he heard this, and then waved his hand again and again to deny: "You are now old and strong, and I still have to learn more from you, sir." ”

Everyone loves to hear good things.

Although Count Eliot looked powerless on his face, he was very happy in his heart, and secretly said that the other party knew the current affairs.

He cleared his throat and pretended to be old-fashioned: "Don't be presumptuous, if I have the opportunity to enter the center of the kingdom, I will strongly recommend you as the commander of the Eastern Military Region." ”

This meaning is clear enough, and the intention to win over is even more obvious.

Baron Xilun secretly rejoiced, fortunately he reacted quickly enough, if he showed a happy appearance, he didn't know how to wear small shoes.

At the same time, he also realized why the other party is looking ahead and backward in doing things now.

Now that His Majesty King Ferdinand is inspired to recover Hailan Province and revive the Kingdom of Arthur, if it succeeds, there will be great changes in the military and political terms.

It's good to be a feudal official now, but when His Majesty the King recovers Hailan Province, he will definitely carry out drastic reforms to the army, so as to prevent any more self-respecting incidents, and life will not be so easy at that time.

Count Eliot was now looking ahead and backwards, but he was only thinking of taking a few more steps and moving from the place to the center, so he acted more and more cautiously.

Knowing this, Baron Xilun has some expectations for the future.

The two then discussed for a long time, and finally finalized the matter of taking the Pearl County Anti-Demon Alliance.

Baron Xilun said with a serious face: "Your Excellency, it is better to do it sooner rather than later at this time, we must do it as soon as possible." ”

"Now that the private armies of Earl Hornby and Earl Thompson have just been taken care of by the soldiers of the province of Haogannan, it is a good opportunity to deal with the two of them, as long as the two of them are controlled, the other nobles are just scattered sand. ”

Count Eliot naturally understood this truth, and immediately ordered: "You order the gates of the city to be closed, so that no one can escape, and I will go and gather the army." ”

With that, the two left the office on their own feet.

At this moment, Earl Hornby and Earl Thompson did not know that a catastrophe was coming.

Of course, even if you know, I'm afraid you won't have a chance to turn over.

In a rather fine villa, Earl Hornby smashed anything he could see in a fit of rage.

Maybe it was too much of a movement, he accidentally touched the wound on his face, and grinned in pain.

This made him even angrier, and he even began to wave his fists into the air.

If this scene were seen by outsiders, they would definitely think that he had hysteria.

Earl Hornby felt that his life was going to be ruined.

He had never suffered such a big humiliation, he was actually slapped in the face on the street, it was a real slap in the face, and he was directly knocked unconscious, and he had no power to fight back.

Originally, this matter was embarrassing enough, but it turned out to be clearly seen by thousands of people present.

That's it, the key is that he is out of shape.

The bridge of his nose was comminuted and fractured, and unless a senior priest could be called in for treatment, he would be disfigured

Definitely.

Pantuo City is only a city under the jurisdiction of Pearl County, where is there a senior priest?

Don't say it's here, even if it's as prosperous as King Arthur's capital, there are only five senior priests.

These people are all treasures of the Church, and their status is not under the metropolitan, and it will cost a great deal to want them to help save someone.

Earl Hornby is now just a lost dog, and he has to rob him for food, where can he afford to ask a senior priest to treat his wounds?

Besides, even if he has money, he has the ability to invite the other party, but this place is thousands of miles away from the royal capital, and when he brings people, I am afraid that the daylily will be cold.

This face is definitely ruined.

Thinking about this, Earl Hornby became more and more manic.

On the sofa, Earl Thompson wrapped gauze around his head and sipped tea calmly and elegantly.

In fact, his forehead was not injured at all, and this was done to balance Earl Hornby's mind.

He looked at the other party, and was looking around for a new target with red eyes, and couldn't help but clear his throat: "Ahem! Earl Hornby, please calm down a little, this will not solve the problem......

Before he could finish speaking, Earl Hornby's gaze fell straight on, as vicious as a jackal.

He stepped up to Earl Thompson, pointed to his nose and said, "You said it lightly, after all, it was not you who was beaten, and it was not you who was disfigured. ”

He was snorting and panting, like a bull in heat.

Seeing this, Earl Thompson swallowed his spittle, and relieved himself in his heart: don't be like the nouveau riche.

He actually wanted to stand up and scold: Your disfigurement is equivalent to plastic surgery.

Think about it, forget it, if you really say it, I don't know what stupid thing this guy on the other side will do, he doesn't want to be really hurt because of this.

So Count Thompson said as calmly as possible: "Your Excellency, in fact, you don't have to care about your appearance at all, after all, with your current status and power, the bonus that your appearance brings to your whole person is really too small. ”

When he said this, he was in his heart: they shouldn't have hit you in the face, they should have broken your third leg.

Hearing this, Earl Hornby's heavy gasps gradually faded.

I don't know if I've stopped, or if I'm no longer angry.

He clenched his fists and muttered in a low voice, "That's right, anyway, Lao Tzu doesn't rely on his face to eat." ”

Earl Thompson was extremely speechless, he had seen a faceless one, but he had never seen such a faceless one.

Where did you come from your position today?

Oh, yes, yes, you don't eat with your face, you rely on your lower body!

The Earl of Hornby's family history is very famous in Pearl County, he came from an ordinary aristocratic family, and used his father's name to mingle in his youth.

He doesn't have a great look, and he doesn't have a lot of talent, but he's outstanding underneath!

So this guy, who is not outstanding in all aspects, but is only outstanding unilaterally, has unexpectedly become a sweet spot for ladies and celebrities.

One day, I don't know what shit luck this guy had, and he actually hooked up with a widow from the Cronin family.

With this opportunity, he fell on the thigh of the Cronin family and made his fortune.

To put it bluntly, this Earl of Hornby is a little white face who relies on women to ascend to power.

In addition to hooking up with women, there is a bit of ability, and other aspects are poor.

The reason why Earl Thompson chose to cooperate with him in the first place was because he valued his power, and on the other hand, he felt that this person was stupid enough to be used for himself.

But in today's situation, there are risks associated with working with fools.

Earl Thompson took a deep breath and asked, "Don't talk about these useless things yet, hurry up and figure out what to do next?"

He knew that he had asked in vain, saying that this was just a matter of remembering something to divert the other party's attention.

This approach has proven to work.

Earl Hornby sat heavily on the sofa next to him, glared at the bull's eye and said, "How do I know, I won't let them leave Tuo City alive anyway." ”

"Isn't it Governor Renard, behind Lao Tzu is the Cronin family, I can still be afraid of him. ”

Earl Thompson was speechless again, it was okay to scare people with this name before, but now you still use this name, and you are lucky that others don't tie you up and dedicate you to His Majesty the King.

He sighed helplessly, and motioned to the other party to be calm: "Don't worry, I have arranged people for all the main roads in Pantuo City, and it is difficult for them to fly out with their wings." ”

"The most important thing now is not revenge, but to find a legitimate reason to snatch that batch of grain, and now there is a food shortage!"

Hearing this, Earl Hornby calmed down completely and asked, "Have you already thought about paying attention?"

Although he was stupid, he was not stupid to the point of going home, otherwise it would not have been possible to trick so many noble ladies and celebrities into bed.

Earl Thompson nodded and said with a smile: "That's natural, it's actually very simple, there is no conspiracy at all, and you can directly take the IOU to ask for the account."

Earl Hornby stood up when he heard this: "Still take the IOU to ask for the account?"

He pointed to his face and said, "Are you idle and I wasn't beaten badly enough?"

Earl Thompson waved his hand again and again: "The reason why you were beaten is that we miscalculated the courage and strength of the other party, and the other is that the other party is too unreasonable to do it. ”

"This time, we will unite with other nobles and bring all the elites, and I don't believe that we can't solve them. ”

Earl Hornby pondered for a moment when he heard this, and felt that it did make sense, if it wasn't for the other party's quick move, he still had the ability to fight with one of them.

As long as you are prepared first, in the face of absolute strength, the other party can't make any waves at all.

He couldn't help but clench his fists and said hatefully, "This time I'm going to beat them all over the face." ”

Earl Thompson shrugged his shoulders indifferently, and was about to flatter him, but he heard panicked footsteps outside the door.

Immediately afterwards, the door of the villa was slammed open.

Several guards rolled in from outside the door in a panic, and before Earl Hornby could scold, the leading guard shouted in panic: "Lord Earl, the big thing is not good, Commander Elliot has brought someone to kill him." ”

When the two heard this, they didn't think back for a long time.

I had an awkward quarrel with the grain transportation team in Gannan Province, what does it matter to your Eastern Military Region?

Before the two of them could react, a large number of soldiers poured in outside the door again, directly pressing all the people in the room to the ground.

Earl Hornby and Earl Thompson were no exception, they hurriedly identified themselves, and at the same time made threatening words: "Blind your dog's eyes, I am Earl Hornby." ”

The soldiers ignored them and escorted them directly to the door.

In the courtyard, Count Eliot stood with his sword in his hand, and said, "Both, your days of power and fortune have come to an end. ”
