"Think about it, the pioneer nobles successfully established a territory, and then defeated the orcs and successfully killed the orc chieftain, many knights are this routine, and those are fake after all, you are the real thing. ”

"I think it won't be long before many knights will come to you. ”

Su Lun is not interested in these, as for the knights who defected, most of them were some strength, or the second son of a small aristocratic family, basically they all wanted to obtain a fief. He had no intention of accepting these knights, after all, the strength of the knight rank in Zhenbei City was not ranked at all.

Give them a fief? Su Lun would be stupid to do this.

"Okay, let's not talk about that, let's eat first. Su Lun said with a wave of his hand.

"It just so happens that I'm also very interested in the food of Zhenbei City. ”

Suren took Lancelotta and the other nobles into the camp, and the food had been prepared in the camp, although it was in the barracks, the food prepared by Suren was still very good, and the skills of the cooks in the barracks had also been trained by the halflings Flodo, although they were not as good as the halflings, but they were much stronger than the vast majority of human cooks.

Su Lun also specially prepared a barbecue, hunted a yellow sheep in the wilderness, marinated the most tender place with spices, and roasted it directly when eating, and soon the fragrance spread in the camp tent.

In the end, when these barbecues were served by the chef, some green vegetables were placed on the silver plate as a companion dish, the silver chassis, the sauce-red barbecue was wrapped with a layer of sauce, the edges were slightly charred, the meat was tender inside, and a layer of cumin was sprinkled on it, and the sauce in the barbecue overflowed the mouth with a light bite of the teeth.

It's slightly hot, but it tastes great.

"Delicious, your chef's skill here is no worse than that of His Majesty's, and what kind of spices are you sprinkling on it?" Lancelot just sang and tasted it, his eyes lit up, and he immediately discovered the key, cumin is a spice that naturally goes well with barbecue.

"This is cumin, a spice found only in the Northland heaths, and it is scarce in quantity. Su Lun said with a smile.

"It's delicious, the spice is amazing. The other nobles exclaimed, and several nobles grinned at their scalded teeth, but their swallowing speed did not decrease in the slightest.

"I'm going to sell this spice to the outside world, if you like it, you can go to Zhenbei City to buy it, and I'll give you a twenty percent discount. Su Lun said with a smile.

"I'll ask the servant to go to Zhenbei City to buy some. Lancelot said.

After lunch, everyone finally got to the point. What is the main topic, to put it bluntly, it is the distribution of credits, Suren does not intend to ask for these credits, and he does not intend to become part of the Kingdom of Florence, so these credits are ready to be taken out in exchange for benefits.

After some exchange of interests, Su Lun obtained a lot of benefits from these nobles, and those nobles also divided the credit of Su Lun, and both parties were satisfied.

After discussing these matters, the nobles of the northern provinces left one after another, but Lancelot had no intention of getting up, seeing this situation, Suren waved his hand very tacitly to let the attendants retreat.

"Marquis Lancelot, is there anything else you can do?" Suren tilted his body to make himself more comfortable in his chair.

Lancelot drank the rum in his hand, and then put down his glass with a lingering attitude, "Your Excellency Suren doesn't want to join the Florentine Kingdom." ”

"Why do you say that?" Su Lun raised an eyebrow.

"You have given all the credit to those nobles, and it is clear that you do not care about His Majesty's reward. Lancelot said with a shrug.

"So what?" said Su Lun lazily.

"With the strength of Zhenbei City, the Kingdom of Florence will acquiesce. Lancelot said without any scruples.

"I have a better way, though. ”

"In what way?" asked Suren, who didn't want to get too stiff with the Florentine kingdom right now.

"You should know that this orc invasion, we have suffered heavy losses, and even the Marquis of Winter has been killed, which is a big blow to the Kingdom of Florence. ”

"The death of a legendary powerhouse is indeed a serious matter, but the surrounding countries are not having a good time. Suren nodded, several surrounding countries were also plagued by orc invasions, and this time the orcs not only invaded Florence, but several surrounding countries also participated, or even more seriously.

"It's not a foreign thing, it's domestic. Lancelot shook his head.

"Listen to me explain it to you. Seeing that Suren was a little confused, Lancelot picked up the wine glass, poured a glass of wine, shook it, and said, "You should also know that there have always been several factions within our Florentine Kingdom. ”

"I don't know much about this. Su Lun shrugged, after all, when he was in the Florentine Kingdom, he was not at a high level, and he could not access the news at the top. In addition, after coming to the northern wilderness, he was busy exploring the territory, and the news channel could not be compared with the old nobles at all, and more often it was learned through the news brought by the caravan, and the news brought by the caravan was at least two or three months ago, or even half a year.

"Well, well, I'll just get to the point. Lancelot smiled awkwardly and said, "You should know that the Florentine royal family was not the Henry family in the first place. ”

Suren nodded, the earliest royal family of the Florentine Kingdom was the Roman royal family, which later became the Nord royal family, and finally the current Henry family, which can be said to have changed three times, and these families are basically inextricably linked, which is one of the reasons why Florence has so many heirs.

"There were originally two legendary powerhouses loyal to the royal family, one was the Marquis of Winter and the other was the Marquis of Brooke, and the Kingdom of Florence had five legendary powerhouses, and the other three were loyal to the other three marquis families. ”

"This has allowed the royal family to hold the power of the kingdom all the time, but now that the death of the Marquis of Winter has broken the balance, and the royal family and the other three marquis families have returned to the same running line, what do you say will be the consequences?" Lancelot said helplessly, although he is also a marquis, but there is no territory to match, and as a close confidant of King Hunt, once the Hunt family is replaced by other marquises, he can only go back to the countryside to retire.

"The emperor takes turns, come to my house this year?" Su Lun also understood.

"So to speak. ”

Of course, the alternation of the royal family of the Florentine Kingdom will not be wiped out, otherwise the Roman royal family and the Nord royal family would have been gone long ago, and there would not be the three marquis families now, this kind of thing has become accustomed to the Florentine aristocracy.

"Then what do you mean by looking for me, making me loyal to the royal family?" Su Lun said with a frown.

"I want to, too, but will you agree?"

"Of course not. ”

"So we came up with another option. Lancelot said.

"Let's talk about what the plan is. Su Lun was interested.

"The royal family of Henry has formed a political alliance with your Zhenbei City, and your Zhenbei City supports the Henry family as a royal family, and the Henry family recognizes your status and will not restrict caravans from going to Zhenbei City for trade. "Lancelot is right.

"Political Alliance, if the other Marquis families make a move, am I going to go to war with them?" asked Suren.

"How is that possible?" Lancelot rolled his eyes: "The change of royal family in the Kingdom of Florence will not start a war, it is more for political reasons, after all, the royal family still has a legendary powerhouse, if you really do it, Florence will be over, and the surrounding countries will not miss this good opportunity." ”

"All you need is to declare your support for the Henry royal family, and there will be no war. ”

"Well, then I can think about it. Suren didn't say anything to death.

"Okay, but please get back to us as soon as possible. Lancelot said.

"By the way, Your Excellency Su Lun is not married yet. Lancelot asked, suddenly remembering something.

Su Lun shook his head: "No." ”

"That's great, Princess Sophia of the royal family has just come of age this year, and she is very beautiful and noble, if you agree I can say to His Majesty Henry, let Princess Sophia marry you. Lancelot said excitedly.

Su Lun couldn't help but roll his eyes, this was directly starting to pimp.

"Not good. Su Lun is still very wary of the political method of marriage.

"Don't be in a hurry to refuse, or you'll see you first?" continued Lancelot.

Su Lun didn't let go, and the matter of the final marriage was also shelved, but looking at Lancelot's expression, he should still not give up.

After the two finished negotiating, they left separately, and they only reached a cooperation intention for the political alliance, since the Henry royal family wanted to use Su Lun's power, Su Lun naturally would not let it go, and he would not agree if he did not have enough benefits.

After discussing with Su Lun, Lancelot returned to the barracks and immediately took out a crystal ball the size of a fist, this crystal ball is an expensive sound transmission prop, and he can directly communicate with the royal capital with this crystal ball, and now he is discussing with the royal family about Su Lun.

After all, although Lancelot is the king's favorite minister, many conditions must be agreed by the king to count, a crystal ball prop is worth about tens of thousands of gold narls, and the number of uses is limited, that is, these big nobles have money to use.

After staying here for two days, Suren and Lancelot finally discussed various things, and Suren also agreed to form a political alliance with the Henry royal family, of course, they also paid a lot of costs, such as taxes, the caravans of Zhenbei City traded in Florence and they received the same treatment, such as the Kingdom of Florence could not prevent Zhenbei City from recruiting outcasts in the kingdom, etc.

After the two sides discussed, a formal agreement needed to be signed, the agreement needed to be signed by the king and stamped, and it would take a while to wait, Su Lun did not continue to wait here, and began to return to Zhenbei City with his army.
