Chapter 40: See the General
The female swordsman followed, and the other two swordsmen did not go upstairs, but stared at Miles viciously. If Miles had dared to swear that too ugly swear just now, they would have not hesitated to kill the killer - the master was abused but did not take revenge, and this kind of knight would have died when he returned. They didn't do it directly, firstly because Lear was inconvenient for them, and secondly because old Hans was a friend of Baron Humphrey.
The reason why old Hans smashed Miles with a vase was because he hated iron and steel, and on the other hand, he protected his nephew in disguise. He also felt lucky, but fortunately Miles didn't hit Lear, otherwise Miles would have died.
If Miles dares to take down the next Earl of Lear, even if Lear doesn't kill him, Earl Lear's knights won't let him go.
Miles finally understood that it was all over, and fell to the ground whimpering and crying. He had planned to wait for old Hans to get old and take over five stores to serve the Lear family, but this was no longer possible.
After going upstairs, old Hans closed the door tightly and pressed an infrequently used mechanism, and the magic array in the room activated, forming a soundproof enchantment, which was a necessary magic guide for big businessmen.
Ness looked excitedly at the porcelain, while old Hans and Lear sat facing each other. The conversation between Lear and Old Hans just now is what the two of them said when they last met, and there will be no third person in the world who knows, so Old Hans doesn't need to recognize him at all and immediately believes that he is the real Lear.
Old Hans poured him tea, held the teacup himself, looked at Lear's face, and finally couldn't help it, and asked in a trembling voice, "My lord, he, is he okay?"
Lear had the feeling of swallowing a large amount of mustard again, and tears welled up at once, and he closed his mouth tightly, his fists clenched, as if he could not speak, but in his heart he cursed the fairy mother-in-law.
The teacup in old Hans's hand fell to the ground with a clatter, and hot water splashed on his shoes, but he was at a loss.
So, Lear told the story in detail, and warned the fairy mother-in-law that she would use this trick again in the future, and she would not be finished! The sword swore that he would not do it again next time, but he felt that he was very clever in his heart, and at least he could impress old Hans.
Old Hans cried to the end of the story, and as he listened, he cursed the killer disguised as a bandit. Old Hans was a very affectionate man, and Lear's father helped him once, and he almost did his best to serve Lear's father, earning an inexhaustible fortune for the Lear family. Of course, there was also Count Lear who helped his younger brother, but the hard work and loyalty of old Hans were unquestionable.
When Lear said that he wanted to see the general, old Hans stood up and said, "Go, go to the general at once, I am sure that the old man will let you inherit the earl." ”
Lear said, "If we meet like this, we won't be targeted by others, right?"
Old Hans sneered: "Baron Humphrey should have told you that those two parties are trying to woo me, and if I don't respond, they will definitely send someone to monitor here." When you enter the door today, you are already being targeted. While they haven't reacted now, and can't be sure it's you, we'll go to the general immediately, and when we see the general, it's too late for them to do it!"
Lear said worriedly, "With so few of us, will they just do it?"
Old Hans said: "When Harbour Lear was built, the old Earl thought of every possibility. This shop is one of the special locations. There is a passage below that leads to a house two hundred meters away, where Count Lear's knights live! ”
Lear was surprised and said, "Could it be that the Lear family has always been on guard against enemies?"
Old Hans said proudly: "The old earl has killed countless people and offended countless nobles for the construction of Port Lear, and the dead earl has also purged a group of new nobles who have harmed Port Lear, so of course the Lear family must make all kinds of preparations. ”
Lear nodded and said, "Okay, I'll go down and call the two swordsmen downstairs, and let's go, and the people outside will stay outside and paralyze them." ”
Old Hans said approvingly: "After the ordeal of mercenaries, you have finally grown up. Let's go. ”
So old Hans took Lear, Ness, and the three swordsmen into the tunnels and went to the knight's house.
The knight who lives here is a swordsmanship instructor of the garrison, but in fact he is a hidden knight of the Lear family, and there are a total of six hidden knights living around him. The strongest is the intermediate swordsman, and the worst is also the junior swordsman.
Seeing old Hans with his men, the hidden knight immediately summoned the others.
After some discussion, the Hidden Knight put on the carriage, let Lear, Ness, and Hans Sr. get into the carriage, and went with the nine knights to a private squadron of the Earl of Lear's family, which was stationed three hundred meters away.
The Secret Knight took out the letter of appointment and the special seal, and after the private squadron leader verified it, he immediately transferred a hundred people from the group, escorted Lear, and ran towards the general's house. Ten more identical wagons were added to the team, and among them was a junior magician and a junior potionsman.
This private squadron originally had three swordsman-level powerhouses, and with the addition of magicians, there were fourteen swordsman-level powerhouses in the team, which was an absolutely terrifying force.
So, on this sunny morning, Count Lear's squadron of private soldiers hurried around ten wagons.
The private soldiers in Port Lear were often trained, so most passers-by didn't find anything strange, and only a few noticed the anomaly.
When the team arrived at the General's doorstep, the other two forces in Port Lear finally realized that something was wrong and began to mobilize their forces.
The Hidden Knight took out the letters of appointment of the old Earl and the second Earl, and the guards at the door immediately went in to report, and after a while they ran out, inviting the Hidden Knight, Old Hans, Lear, and Ness to enter, while the others stood guard at the door.
The courtyard of the general's house was very large, and the four of them walked in under the guidance of the guards. There are lush shrubs on both sides, and at the end of the road there is a pond with flat playgrounds on each side for sword practice, and around the pool is a two-story house.
But the crowd stopped at the edge of the pool, for the general was sitting on a wooden bench by the edge of the playground, carving wood with a carving knife.
He held the wood in his left hand and the carving knife in his right hand, and the blade continued to fall on the wood, and the sawdust flew all over the place, but in just ten seconds, the wood in the general's hand became a vivid wood carving.
The general casually placed the wood carvings in a set of wood carvings, and when Lear saw them, a sense of familiarity rose in his heart - those wood carvings included all of Lear's family, but the wood carvings that represented him were only a baby, in the arms of the old earl.
The general stood up and looked at them.
Lear was slightly surprised, in his mind, the general must have been a tall old man with a strong appearance and thick eyebrows and big eyes, but in fact the general was only a little taller than him, shorter than Catherine. The general didn't look too special, with gray hair, a wrinkled face, and a smile. If you have to find something different, it's that his eyes are brighter than normal.
