Chapter 126: VIPs
William rode to the vicinity of Anderson's house.
As a family of real marquis with fiefdoms, the Anderson family's station is much more imposing than the Van Kings family, and unlike the dog-nibbled camp that Harry and the others set up casually, the Anderson family's station is completely built according to the way the army is stationed.
Not only is there a wall made of wooden piles around the outside, but there are also four entrances and exits in the front and back, left and right, and there is also a road between the camp tents and the camp tents that are enough for horses to walk together, which looks extremely neat.
William looked from afar and found that there were not only a large number of soldiers patrolling the camp, but also two teams of heavily armed guards standing guard in front of the door.
Since this time I came to ask for someone, I naturally had to show respect. William dismounted from a long distance and walked to the front of Anderson's house.
"Stop coming!"
The two guards raised their spears, the tips of their glittering spears in front of William.
William met the inquiring eyes of the two, and said with a flat face: "I am William Van Kins, and I came to visit this time to find the Marquis to ask for someone, please inform me for me." ”
After hearing William's name, the two professionals leading the team glanced at each other.
Huh, the Van Kings family?
Yes, I heard that the head of the family is going to marry his granddaughter to him, so this is coming?
The people of the Fankins family, it is understandable, his grandfather came directly to the door to grab it!
I'll go and report, you stabilize him, be careful not to get beaten!
After squeezing their eyebrows, the younger guards mounted their horses and headed for the tent in the center of the station, while the older ones pressed the guards' spears and greeted William with a smile.
"Since it's from the Fankins family, then you don't have to wait at the door, Karl has already gone to inform, let's just walk over slowly. ”
The older professional refused the ordinary guards who had come to lead the horse, and quite enthusiastically helped William to tie the horse with his own hands, and then led William to the big tent in the middle.
What made William curious was that the layers of checkpoints along the way seemed to be rigorous, but in fact they were quite lax, and after hearing that William was a member of the Van Kings family, not only were they all directly allowed to go, but they didn't even interrogate them slightly.
Is the Van Gus family's sign so good? Aren't you afraid of me going to do some kind of decapitation tactic?
However, no one came to answer his curiosity, and the two of them soon arrived at the door of the big tent without hindrance.
The older professional smiled good-naturedly, reached out and lifted the curtain of the big tent for William, and hung it on the door hook beside him, and then waved his arm slightly, signaling that William could enter.
"The Marquis is waiting for you inside, and you can call me if you need anything. ”
After saying that, he turned around and stood at the door with a few guards without squinting, clearly reassuring William and not worrying about the safety of the old marquis at all.
Faced with such a reassuring move, William was a little confused.
That's a good treatment, isn't it? I didn't think I was an outsider at all, but did the Fankins family have such a high level of trust in the Anderson family?
"What are you doing at the door? Come in!"
The old marquis's majestic voice came from the big tent, but William keenly felt that there seemed to be a hint of dissatisfaction in the voice.
Walking in with a full stomach of doubts, William saw a table in the center of the tent, on which were placed two large stacks of papers, and the old marquis was sitting behind the pile of papers, writing something.
Hearing William's footsteps, Roman Anderson glanced up at him, then lowered his head again and continued to work on the papers.
Not only did he not mean to greet him, but directly left him aside, which was completely a kind of ignorant attitude, and the cordial "leading party" along the way was like a cloud.
Unexpectedly received a cold reception at the old marquis's place, William couldn't help frowning.
Obviously, someone has already reported it before, and now it's this attitude again, is this to give me a dismissal?
"I've seen the Marquis of Roman, I'm ......"
"Don't call me a marquis, I've passed on the title a long time ago, and now I'm just the patriarch of the Anderson family. ”
The old marquis waved his hand impatiently.
"Okay, don't talk about it, I already know your intentions, you sit there first, and I'll talk to you when I'm done dealing with these things. ”
William was a little dazed by him.
I haven't said anything, how do you look like you know everything? But since you came here with a request, it's better to listen to others.
William sat down on a stool in the corner, and there was silence in the tent, except for the occasional rustle of a quill on the paper.
But he waited for a long time, and the old marquis's documents were still not finished. William looked up and made a closer look, and saw that the height of the two stacks of papers on the table had barely changed. His brow furrowed.
Looking at the thickness, there are at least thirty or forty sheets to deal with, and the number is not too much. But at this processing speed, when that large stack of documents is processed, I am afraid that the sky will be dark.
He said with some annoyance: "Your Excellency Roman, how long will it take for you to ......?"
"Huh?"
The old marquis seemed to be very dissatisfied with the title, and he, who had been immersed in the papers, raised his head sharply and glared at William with dissatisfaction.
"What do you call me?"
William thought that he would get angry because he was disturbed, and he also thought that he would take the opportunity to have a seizure, but he didn't expect that he was actually dissatisfied with the salutation, and he was stunned for a moment when asked.
Looking at this stinky boy who didn't open his mind, the old marquis was so angry that he threw away the quill in his hand, thinking that the Fankins family had finally come up with a brain, but he didn't expect it to be the same smell.
He snorted and asked, "Your Excellency is an honorific title for strangers, how can you call me Your Excellency? Even from your father's point of view, I am also your cousin!"
William nodded kindly. "Okay cousin, uncle,"
"You ......"
The old marquis's face was a little unbearable. When he heard that William had come to ask for someone, he was a little unhappy.
The bastards of the Van Guins family have traditions, when his cousin got married, he was directly snatched away by William and his grandfather, and he didn't even have time to hold the wedding. But how many years have passed, why is your family still doing this now?
Although you are a little better than your grandfather, at least you didn't come directly to the door to rob it, but you can't come directly to the door to ask for someone, right?
Remembering the fuck-up shit when he married the Van Kings family, the old marquis decided to hang him for a while, but he didn't expect this kid to be so vindictive, and he was going to be his grandson-in-law with a gun and a stick in his words, but he didn't even call him grandpa.
Thinking of this, the old earl snorted angrily and stopped speaking.
He is a grandson, this difficult old man is still unhappy, William can't help but start to be impatient, and the respectful look on his face is cold.
Wasn't the person who led the way friendly before?Why did this old man make trouble for me?Did Harry kick his brain?
But after all, there is a request for people, William decided to endure it first, it's a big deal to train the people he sent more, just let this breath go, and the top priority is to get more people for the [Angry Flame Legion].
He put on the old marquis's stinky face, and said stubbornly: "Uncle cousin, I came this time to ask you for a few people. ”
How many!
The old marquis's eyes suddenly widened larger than that of a cow.
What's the matter? I don't have enough granddaughters for you? Do you want more?
I thought your grandfather had enough of fucking people back then, and you kid not only came to ask for someone, but also planned to pack a few more to take back with you?
Looking at the old man on the other side, eager to jump over and hit someone, William couldn't help but be a little stunned.
Isn't it just asking you how many people you want, and if you don't agree, who are you going to show with such a cannibalistic expression?
William, whose patience had been exhausted, said coldly: "Is the Marquis unwilling? I'm just asking you for a few people, what do you mean by this expression?"
Hearing William's righteous questioning, the old marquis blocked his throat with a mouthful of old blood.
"You...... You're unreasonable! Is there anyone as important as you?"
Hmm? How can I be unreasonable, is there anything wrong with being so important?" William thought for a moment, and suddenly understood the deep meaning of the old marquis's words.
Gotta add money?
William's dissatisfaction was even heavier. I can help your people awaken the bloodline, saying that if you can't improve your professional level, how many people can't ask for a good thing, you still want money?
But this request really poked at William's weakness, now he wants power, power and people, but he really doesn't have any money, and he can't even take out a copper plate on his body, it's really cleaner than his face.
William originally wanted to leave, but for the sake of the [Flame Legion], he still frowned and explained, "Uncle Cousin, this is a win-win choice for us......
The old marquis suddenly became even angrier.
"Fart's win-win! I think it's all your kid taking advantage of it, where is the win-win coming from?"
William was also unhappy, he said with a cold face: "Since you feel that you are at a loss, then forget about this matter, I don't have to be from your family." Then he turned around and left, not wanting to deal with this difficult old man again.
The old marquis's face was black and purple.
I've lived to be in my sixties, and it's the first time I've seen such a bastard, and I don't want to give you a few more granddaughters, and you don't even want any of them? You dare to threaten that it doesn't have to be our family? Are you such a grandson-in-law?
He couldn't wait to open his mouth and abolish the marriage contract, but when he thought of the marriage between the two families for hundreds of years, and thought of the family motto that the contract could not be violated and the contract could not be destroyed, he finally suppressed his anger.
The old marquis suddenly stood up from behind the desk and grabbed William, who wanted to go out.
"You...... The old man has never seen you so ...... Hmph!"
The old marquis trembled and said, "You can take people away, but you must ensure that you don't treat them badly!"
William's brow furrowed.
I didn't give it before, but now I don't want it, and you're not happy, is there something wrong with your old mind?
Looking at the old age spots on the old marquis's big hand, and thinking about the [Fury Flame Legion] that needed to be strengthened urgently, William finally decided not to be with him, and after thinking about it, he said in a flat tone:
"I can handle as many as I want, and I can handle as many as I want. ”
The old marquis's eyes were torn apart, and he couldn't wait to draw his sword on the spot and kill the bastard in front of him. How many are you going to have? What are you the granddaughter of an old man? Do you pop up an egg a day?
Lao Tzu has been dealing with the bastards of the Van Guins family for decades, and I have never seen a little bastard more rampant than you!
With a dark face, he rejected William's proposal, and casually stretched out his two hands and gestured.
"No way! six at most!"
William's face darkened too, was this tricking me? What are six people capable of? blackened his face, and then danced with the coffin while singing?
William turned around and was about to leave without saying a word, but he grabbed him again.
"Here you go!"
The old marquis glared at William with bloodshot eyes, even if he looked at the eyes of the enemy who killed his father, it was estimated that he might not be able to be so fierce.
Seeing him look like an enemy, William said with some annoyance: "Okay, can't I pay?" If they come over once, I will give the money once, and I will come back when I am done, you have no opinion this time, right?"
"I'm done and I'm going back?"
Upon hearing William's proposal, the old marquis flushed his face and threw himself at him with a wild roar.
......
The guards standing guard outside the tent heard a crackling sound inside, and when they lifted the curtain, they saw that it was actually the "uncle" who was beating the head of the house, and they were immediately shocked.
They pulled a few times and didn't pull it away, and they knew that William was a celebrity in front of Her Majesty the Queen, and he didn't kill when he beat the head of the family, so they had to start persuading hard, and finally persuaded William to let go.
However, as soon as the old marquis took a breath, he howled and pounced again, and for a time there was a lot of trouble, and half of the station became a pot of porridge.
It was a long time before Avril hurriedly brought someone over. By the time she arrived, William and the old Marquis had stopped, and each sat in a corner of the tent glaring at each other.
William's guard uniform was just a little torn, and there was some dust on his body. The old marquis's appearance was much more miserable, not only was his face blue and red, but even his pants were torn, and his two thin hairy legs were swaying outside.
Avril held her forehead helplessly.
"William, Lord Roman, who are you?"
The old marquis roared angrily: "You let him say it first! The old man is not so thick-skinned!"
Looking at the old marquis, who had lost half his life, Avril couldn't help but look at William, her face full of inquiry.
William spread his hands, signaling that he didn't understand what was going on.
God knows what kind of madness this old man is doing, he is just here to ask for someone, and if he doesn't want to give it, he won't give it, so he pounces on him to find out what's the matter? It makes me feel like I'm bullying an old man.
After thinking about it, he summed it up quite brilliantly: "I came to ask for someone, and he didn't want to beat me if he didn't want to give it, so I beat him, and that's it." ”
The old marquis, who was leaning back in his chair and panting, stood up suddenly.
"You're here to ask for someone, are you so demanding?"
Seeing that he was still unrelenting, William said with a hesitant face: "I said I could give money, what do you want?"
"You bastard!"
Avril persuaded the old marquis, who wanted to continue, to avoid another beating, and then asked with a puzzled face: "I still don't understand what you are talking about, who does William want?"
"Soldiers. ”
"My granddaughter. ”
......
?!
