Seeing the frightened faces of the two subordinates, Count Kevin immediately lowered his face and scolded: "What kind of system is it that you are panicking, Lao Tzu's face has been lost to you." ”

According to the habit of the past, the two guards listened to him reprimanded like this, and they had already begun to bow down flatteringly and admit their mistake.

However, today it was very abnormal, not only did they admit their mistakes, but even their expressions did not change, and they still looked terrified.

Earl Kevin suddenly realized that something special had happened, and took two steps forward and asked, "What happened, why do you have such a ghost-like expression?"

The two guards looked at each other at first, and then the older man on the left stepped forward and said, "Your Excellency, the man we sent to hunt down the King's army has returned. ”

Hearing this, Earl Kevin's heart beat wildly, and he secretly thought to himself: Didn't he send people to attack the Eastern Military Elite found out?

Thinking so in his heart, but there was no expression on his face, he suppressed the tension in his heart and asked, "Come back, come back, what's all the fuss?"

The guard swallowed, his cheeks twitching, and said, "They brought very bad news. ”

Earl Kevin secretly said in his heart: Lao Tzu has not received good news recently.

He frowned and asked, "What is the bad news that can scare you two like this?"

The guard hesitated for a moment, then spat out a sentence with difficulty: "The combined army of Governor Renard and Duke Edmund has entered the territory of Kale County. ”

When Earl Kevin heard this, his eyes almost popped out, and he shouted out six words in a changed voice: "What?

The guard showed full bitterness: "Lord Earl, this is true, our people have seen it with their own eyes, the army is huge, it is estimated that there are no less than fifty or sixty thousand people. ”

Hearing this, the young guard next to him answered: "Maybe it's not more, according to the people who came back, they only saw the vanguard of the other side, and there were enough of twenty or thirty thousand people. ”

"If you estimate according to this number, the Chinese army and the rear army are only afraid of more people, and there should still be 100,000 people. ”

The older guard looked at his companion next to him, and after a long time, he said again: "I have already ordered someone to investigate the truth again, and there will be a reply in about five or six hours." ”

As the so-called people are old and fine, horses are old and slippery.

When people are older, they have more thoughts than young people, and in this silent battle

In the contest, the older guards clearly had the upper hand.

Hearing this, Earl Kevin calmed down and complimented: "You have done a good job, remember, as long as there is news to come back, whether it is good or bad, report it to me immediately." ”

The older guard hurriedly nodded yes, and then exited the office.

The young guard showed a look of unwillingness on his face, but he didn't know what to say, so he had to follow the other party's ass and leave.

The messenger stood by and watched coldly, and when he saw the expressions of the two guards, he couldn't help but sigh.

It's time to burn his eyebrows, and this earl's subordinates still have the mind to fight openly and secretly.

Looking at this earl again, he didn't mean to be restrained at all, and he was afraid that he was also a guy who didn't have a big picture.

However, the other party looked down on Count Kevin, and the person who could sit in the position of commander of the garrison was not a human spirit, he was just carried away by the successive stimuli, and he was not in the mood to pay attention to these small things at all.

Knowing that Renard's army was close at hand, Earl Kevin couldn't sit still and began to think about whether to make a choice between the king and the Creighton family.

Just as his mind was spinning, the older guard turned back again.

Seeing this, Earl Kevin hurriedly asked, "Did the person sent out come back with news?"

The guard shook his head and said with some hesitation: "Your Excellency Commander, there is someone outside, who says that he is a messenger sent by Governor Renard, and he is still a good friend of you. ”

A messenger sent by Governor Renard?

Earl Kevin was stunned, and searched carefully in his mind for the people involved, but he didn't find any useful information.

He frowned slightly and asked again, "Did he say what his name was?"

The guard shook his head again and said truthfully: "No, the other party said that you will naturally know him when you see him." ”

Hearing this, Earl Kevin's brows furrowed even tighter, and he asked a little unwillingly, "Then describe what he looks like." ”

The other party said that he knew himself, and if he couldn't recognize the other party, wouldn't it be a loss of face for others.

It was a messenger sent by Governor Renard, and if he made the other party unhappy, he would go back and say that he was not, wouldn't he offend a great god in vain?

The guard thought for a moment and said ambiguously: "It's okay, it's just a little short." ”

He actually wanted to tell the truth, the man outside was short, ugly, and obscene, but he took it back when the words came to his lips.

The guards had their own ideas, and if the man outside was really a good friend of Earl Kevin, he would definitely arouse the dissatisfaction of the other party, and then he would have his own good fruit to eat.

Earl Kevin was extremely dissatisfied with his answer, what does it mean to look good?

He also knew the scruples in the guard's heart, so he straightened up and said, "To tell you the truth, what does it look like?"

The guard saw that his master was a little angry, and knew that it would be impossible not to tell the truth, so he stubbornly spoke: "That man is very short, very thin, very ugly, and very obscene, with two pieces of horizontal flesh on his cheeks, and triangular eyes ......."

Listening to the guard's narration, Earl Kevin began to sketch portraits in his head, and the resulting portraits made him shiver.

Why are you so ugly!

Although he didn't know the person in his head, he also thought of a more similar guy - Neil!

Is it him? Earl Kevin's eyes widened suddenly!

At this moment, Viscount Neil was sitting in the reception hall of the Kale County Garrison Headquarters.

He wasn't qualified to sit here before.

Yet at one time and another, he was now a diplomatic adviser personally promoted by Governor Renard.

Although this position has no real power, and it also has no oil and water, it is barely an important part of the political system of Nanhuang County.

Today, Renard sent him to persuade Earl Kevin to lead the Kale County garrison to join the King's military campaign against the Creighton family, which made him feel valued and valued.

So he made up his mind that he would do it well, no matter what, today, and it would be done perfectly.

After waiting for about ten minutes, the tea was almost finished.

Seeing that no one had come out to welcome him, Viscount Neil got up and flicked his sleeves, and said loudly and pretending to be arrogant: "Since Count Kevin doesn't want to see me, then I'll come back another day." ”

He did not do it out of anger, but out of temptation.

If Earl Kevin really didn't plan to cooperate with the king, he would have just let him go.

If he just wants to stretch himself and hope to take the initiative in the next negotiations, then after he says this, the other party should come out.
