The armed man looked at the two guards with some annoyance, such an attitude was too rude, but they were as they should be.

This is the confidence that the strength of the territory and the lord brings to the lower levels, if the territory is not strong, how dare these two guards be so arrogant?

Although he was angry, this was the other party's territory after all, and if there was a conflict with these two guards, then he couldn't be reasonable.

"Please believe me, I have no ill intentions, I am just a messenger, my master has a letter asking me to send it to Baron William, because the matter is very important, I must see Baron William in person to ensure the completion of the task!"

"So, please go in and tell me that this is a letter from one of his relatives, and that I believe the Baron will meet me!"

As he spoke, he took out two copper coins from his pocket and tried to shove them into the hands of the two guards without a trace.

What are the two guards, veterans who are fighting with William, and when the salary is paid this month, there will be a silver coin, and if they violate military law because of this matter, it will be worth the loss.

Hurriedly rejected this person: "Our lord has a military law that soldiers are not allowed to collect other people's property in any form, otherwise they will be punished very severely, so please take back the copper coins in your hand!" ”

This person was stunned for a moment, bribery has always been tried and tested, even if it is other noble soldiers, it is quite effective, but the soldiers here gave up such a large amount of money just because of military law, which made him a little curious.

Seeing the man's doubts, the two soldiers said proudly: "Our territory is strong and rich, and the Baron is generous and merciful, and he gives us the salary of the veterans who accompanied him from birth to death a silver coin a month, so we have no shortage of your two copper coins!" ”

This man's eyes widened when he heard this, this is a silver coin, and as a nobleman, he must raise a lot of armed infantry, even if he knows that armed infantry is paid, but such a high salary is unheard of and unheard of.

Even he can't earn such a large amount, except for the share during the battle, he only has five copper coins a month, after all, the majority of their income is in the share.

And the money he carried with him was the money that his master sent him out.

Looking at his shocked expression, the two guards couldn't help but show a proud expression on their faces, which also made the two guards feel good.

One of them said, "Then you wait here for a while, and I'll report first, and if the Baron agrees, you can come in!" ”

Waiting at the door, he began to glance around, and from time to time he chatted with one of the remaining guards, asking about the situation.

William was in his study planning the rest of the territory, and Vidal sat down at his desk as his assistant.

"The castle's gutter should be alive here, I don't want a dirty castle, the castle should not be inhabitable, just as a pure war castle!"

William was still contemplating his castle when a knock sounded outside the door.

Vidal glanced at William and went to open the door.

"What's the matter?" Vidal asked, looking at the guard at the door.

The guards told Vidal everything that had happened outside the door.

"You're doing the right thing, I'll tell you the baron, you wait here for a while and I'll pass it on to you!" Vidal smiled and said to him.

"What's going on?" William stopped his pen and asked Vidal.

"That's your lord, according to the guard, there is a person outside the door who claims to be your relative with a letter who wants to see you, but the guard saw that the person was armed, so he didn't let him go, so he came to ask your opinion."

"My relatives?" William muttered in his heart, "I have never found out that there is a family member since I crossed over, are they really my relatives?" ”

"Okay, let him in first, I want to see if it's my relative!" William nodded and said to Vidal.

William, a nobleman who has no family, is actually rare, nobles, they are all married to each other, and each family is a little related, which is normal, and William claims to be the second son of the baron, but he has never had relatives, which is very puzzling.

"Alright, Lord Baron let you in, please come with me!" The guard said to him as he walked out of the manor.

"Thank you very much for your retribution!" The guard nodded his thanks.

Passing through the corridors of the main castle of the manor, the corridors are filled with various paintings, ornaments, and all kinds of long swords and armor hanging on the walls and piled up in the corners, all of which can show that the owner is rich.

The knock on the door rang again.

"My lord, the people have already been brought!"

"Okay, let him in!"

With William's permission, the door to the study was opened, and a man dressed in slightly old iron armor entered, his saber having been taken away long before entering the manor's main castle.

After letting the guards go, William began to ask, "You said you are my relative?" ”

As soon as the man heard this, he knew that William had misunderstood, and hurriedly explained: "No, no, no, my lord, you have misunderstood, I am just a messenger, this is a letter from your relative!" ”

As he spoke, he took out a cylinder from his pocket and handed it over.

Vidal took it and handed it to William, glanced at the sealing wax at the opening of the cylinder, nodded and opened the cylinder.

Inside was a piece of parchment, and it seemed that it was a letter from his relatives to him.

Opening the parchment, William began to read, and at the end, William realized that this was not his relative, ah no, if what he said was true, it was really his relative.

Vidal, you go to see if Madame is asleep, call him over if he is not asleep, and forget it if he is asleep.

The reason for calling Wella is because this so-called relative claims to be Wella's second brother, that is, the second son of Baron Comos.

The man wrote that he was now the captain of a mercenary team, but that Baron Comos's second son had been sent to a large monastery, as all the knights under Baron Comos knew.

That's why William called Wella over to verify the contents of the letter, because the letter also said that he was now being surrounded and suppressed, so he wanted to come to William to avoid the limelight, or he could be directly allegiant, and wanted to ask William's opinion.

Of course, William has to be cautious about this kind of thing, if it is an unfamiliar mercenary group, then of course he can't accept it, after all, it is a mercenary group that has been surrounded and suppressed, but if it is really Weina's relative, then he has no opinion.

Not to mention anything else, with the support of this brother, Weina's status in the eyes of others will be greatly improved, not just the baron's wife.

This also helped Wella's status in the future, even if William had an accident, or passed the title to his son after he died of old age, it could also prevent other nobles from plotting against him, so many nobles made their relatives vassals.

Of course, all this is based on interests, but by that time, it is estimated that William has long since grown to the point that he doesn't know where to go, and there will definitely be no less hole cards in his hand.
