"Chapter 71: Make Up Your Mind"

It is immoral because there is not a man at the time who is not using a woman as a tool to an end. In the eyes of men, the momentary happiness of ** (whether it is his or the other's) does not represent the value of the person.

– Otto Weininger (Austrian philosopher)

"Your Excellency, Governor Bedouin wants to be an enemy of General Bai Feng, this is only his own decision, we have no ill will towards General Bai Feng, and even you do not approve of being an enemy of General Bai Feng, so can we take this opportunity to surrender to General Bai Feng?"

Among the six knight representatives who followed Count Abraham out of the Doge's Palace, a straight-talking knight openly said that he wanted to betray the Marquis of Bedouin on the street in broad daylight, this kind of behavior is simply bold!

Even if the Marquis of Bedouin is only the nominal supreme ruler of the province of Brojansson for the time being, he still has the right to rule, and perhaps someone who hears this will whisper to the Marquis of Bedouin in exchange for immediate reward.

Count Abraham, whose eyes were slightly condensed, reprimanded Woodlow in front of the other knights: "Knight Woodlow, I advised you not to drink so much wine just now, but you didn't listen; ”

"Drinking?" Knight Woodlow, who was confused by the second monk who was told by Count Abraham, subconsciously retorted: "Your Excellency, we were clearly ...... just now Hmm...... Uh-huh......"

Knight Woodlaw wanted to say something more, but the two knights on the side, who had received the hint from Earl Abraham's eyes, hurriedly rushed up and hugged him, and deliberately pretended to be drunk and gaffe, and shouted loudly:

"Woodlow, your kid doesn't drink so much, how can you say that a thousand glasses are not so drunk?"

"Yes, yes, you can't even drink me, and you still want to fight with His Excellency the Earl, aren't you beyond your means?"

The two knights who pretended to be drunk, and the bombardment of each word and my word completely confused Woodlow, and the other three knights, who seemed to be unintentionally but intentionally walked around the three of them, separating all pedestrians who might be close to Woodlow.

The group of six people followed Count Abraham and quickly left the street near the Doge's Palace to arrive at a restaurant where the Abraham family temporarily lived, which was one of the main properties of the Sophia Chamber of Commerce in the county town of Brojansson.

After entering a separate courtyard in the backyard of the restaurant, Count Abraham, who had always been calm, pulled down his face sharply and said angrily to Knight Woodrow, who was still struggling: "Enough! Do you want all of us to be buried for your stupidity?"

"Your Excellency, I ......" Knight Woodlow, who had easily broken free, was about to explain, but was interrupted by Count Abraham, who was getting angrier, "What are you? Do you really think that the Marquis of Bedouin will be defenseless against us?"

Under the angry shouts of Earl Abraham, Knight Woodrow, who had not reacted for a while, finally figured out the key to this, and with a look of shame on his face, he had to blush and bow his usual proud head.

Looking at the knight of Woodlo, who realized his mistake, Count Abraham, who was a little inexplicably sad in his heart, slightly swept his eyes over the other five silent knight representatives, and then said to them seriously:

"Ladies and gentlemen, we are not choosing alone, but we are saddled with the survival and disgrace of our own family, and if we are not careful, we will be seized by the Marquis of Bedouin, and then strangled by him and other nobles in this city of Brojansson. ”

"Your Excellency, please rest assured that the moment we followed you out of the Doge's Palace, we were ready to compete with the Marquis of Bedouin and the nobles who supported him, even if we were not as strong as theirs, I believe that General Bai Feng would not be able to die without help. ”

As soon as the young knight's words came out, they were approved by the five knights, including the knight of Woodlaw, but the old and serious Earl Abraham shook his head with hatred before he patiently analyzed for them:

"First of all, are you sure that all the nobles who are not willing to be the enemy of General Bai Feng are willing to side with us to fight against the Marquis of Bedouin? I think that except for a very small number of knights, the vast majority of the other nobles will support the Marquis of Bedouin, or remain neutral. ”

"Secondly, are you sure that General Bai Feng will accept our kindness? You know, he has turned us away more than once. Even if he is willing to accept us, who is closer to us, General Bai Feng or Marquis Bedouin?"

"Last but not least, each of us has our own responsibilities to bear, and it may not be impossible to fight to the death with the Marquis of Bedouin, but can we make sure that our families are not in danger in the chaos?"

Count Abraham thought that his analysis would calm the enthusiastic and reckless knights, but this time, it was Count Abraham who underestimated the determination of the knights.

The six knights, who had looked at each other in the face of Count Abraham's practical analysis and reasonable exhortation, straightened their backs at the same time, and then began to explain in order the reasons why they and the others had chosen to continue to persevere.

"Your Excellency, we can persuade at least two-thirds of the knights to join us with their family guards, and when the time comes, we will have about five thousand escorts, and we may not be able to confront the Marquis of Bedouin!"

"Your Excellency, Duke Rundstead has a well-known relationship with General Bai Feng, and I believe that as long as we raise the banner of General Bai Feng in time, the most elite 10,000 standing soldiers under the command of Marquis Bedouin will definitely not become our enemies!"

"Your Excellency, although General Bai Feng himself is far away on the border of Mengtan Province, there are not a few of his confidants and cronies in the city of Brojansson, and if we can get the approval of General Bai Feng's cronies, it means that General Bai Feng belongs to us. ”

"Your Excellency, if we can get in touch with General Bai Feng's cronies in the city and establish a preliminary relationship of trust, then our family can be protected by General Bai Feng's people, so that we can fight for our family without worries!"

"Your Excellency the Earl......"

"Your Excellency the Earl......"

The six knights with serious faces and six sonorous and powerful answers made Count Abraham's analysis and questioning, which had been brewing for a long time, completely go to waste; looking at the six knights with extremely determined expressions, Count Abraham, who had painstakingly persuaded him to no avail, his mood became happy.

"Okay!" Count Abraham, who was very relieved, nodded in agreement with admiration on his face: "Since all of you are so determined, then we will do our best to fight for the re-emergence of our family!"

"It's all at the command of His Excellency the Earl!"

The knights, who knew that they and others were not strong enough in terms of ability, experience, and prestige, would lead everyone to fight against the Marquis of Bedouin, and surrender it to Count Abraham, the highest and most intelligent lord, who would make him the only marquis among the people?
