Chapter 473: Three Generations Meet
"Stop!" The Mujahideen soldiers guarding the city walls looked at the small group of unidentified troops that appeared below and asked, "Stranger! Explain who you are, what you mean, and show enough sincerity, or we will see you as an enemy! ”
Although Charlemagne grew up in William's court and was well protected, he was also well-versed in human affairs, and he knew very well the virtues of these low-level soldiers, so he escaped from his arms and weighed it, and there were about twenty gold coins in it.
Immediately afterwards, he threw the money bag up and said, "I am William of the Eastern Road Jihadist Army. The son of Earl Wallace, my name is Charlemagne. Wallace, come and join him! ”
The guard above looked through the light of the fire next to him, and found that it was a bag of gold coins inside, and the golden color couldn't help but make his eyes light up.
He said, "Please wait a moment, honorable Lord Charlemagne, I will send someone inside to convey that if you are really the son of Earl William, we will let you in!" ”
As he spoke, he said to one of the guards next to him: "Go to the palace and convey it, and ask Earl William inside if he knows this Charlemagne!" ”
After the men above had left, the head of the guard said again: "Please wait, Lord Charlemagne, my men will be back soon!" ”
Huo Man on the side was the most anxious, and he said: "This damn guy is really rotten to the bone, how can a person who sees money like this fight?" ”
"Don't judge others by our standards, maybe it's unforgivable in Denlenburg, but in other places, maybe it's a very common thing!"
Roland, the oldest and most composed, said.
Charlemagne also spoke at this time: "That's right, Roland is right, we can't force others to conform to our standards......"
After a pause, he said, "We will not be able to force others to obey the rules we have appointed until we are extremely strong, and if we do not have to obey the rules assigned by others, then we ourselves must be stronger than anyone else!" ”
At first glance, these words seemed to be a fallacy, but when I thought about it carefully, it seemed that this was really the case.
Homan and Cdrrick nodded thoughtfully on the side and said, "It's so profound, but it seems to make sense!" ”
At this time, William was watching these people in the council chamber, anyway, he had already got what he deserved, and there was nothing to argue about.
However, it is worth mentioning that just now, Archbishop Bailins made a announcement. Count Wallace was the first of all the nobles to express his support for the papal parable, and for his bravery in the holy war, he was awarded the title of "saint of the day".
And after the Holy War, he had to go to the Holy City to be baptized by Pope Ubal II and personally confer on him the title of "living saint".
The title of living saint was rare, and the last person to hold it was Bedwin I, the monarch who founded the kingdom of Arisera a hundred years ago.
It was only after he recovered the Holy Sepulchre that he was given this title that was incomparably sacred in the hearts of all the Saints.
And although William has merit, he obviously does not have the credit of recovering the Holy Sepulchre, it is estimated that it is to reward William's earliest response, after all, the horse bone of the Qianjin City, it is estimated that William was used as a horse bone to buy people's hearts.
You see, the first person to respond to me has such a benefit, and if everyone else is obedient, you will also have candy to eat.
But in addition, it should also be related to William's strength and Archbishop Bailinsin.
Because William had expressed his support for Byrins for the Pope because of the archbishop's struggle for the Pope, the two got along very well, and William's strength was strong, so he was no worse than Bedwin I when he recovered the Holy Sepulchre, so the title of "living saint" would fall on his head.
While there was a lot of discussion in the council chamber, there was a knock on the door, and a soldier walked in and said, "Report to your Excellencies, there is a young man outside the city who calls himself Charlemagne, and he says that he is William. The son of Earl Wallace, I hope to meet Earl William, I don't know what to do, so I have come to ask you! ”
After hearing this, William's first reaction was impossible, but when he thought that his son's name had not yet reached the level of being known to everyone, he believed seven or eight points.
He was a little helpless and a little annoyed at this time, how could he come to such a dangerous place casually?
What's more, with Wella's short-term character, how could he let this kid come to the holy war battlefield, he must have secretly escaped by himself.
And Norwen and Hu Limu looked at William's expression, and they also quietly mourned for Charlemagne in their hearts, they knew that after William made this expression, Charlemagne obviously would not have any good fruit to eat.
Seeing that everyone present was looking at him, William coughed and said, "This man named Charlemagne is indeed my son, you can take him to that room and settle down first!" ”
Unexpectedly, Archduke Wallace suddenly spoke, and he said dissatisfiedly: "William, what do you mean by this? I want to see my grandson, so you can bring him here, to me!" ”
The soldier looked at William, waiting for his statement, and Archduke Wallace also looked at William with a fierce face, seeing this scene, William had no choice but to compromise and said, "Okay, then bring him here!" ”
Moments later, Charlemagne was led by the soldier to the interior of the palace.
The door to the council chamber was pushed open, and Charlemagne immediately walked in, saluted the crowd, and then came to William's side.
With a bright smile on his face, he said, "Father, I'm here!" ”
Just as William was about to reprimand him with a tense face, Archduke Wallace on the side suddenly walked over, took Charlemagne's hand and said, "Is this my little grandson?" Come and call Grandfather! ”
Charlemagne, who wanted to report his great achievements to William, was taken aback, and looked at Archduke Wallace with a distorted and puzzled expression, almost without the black question mark on his face.
William didn't know how to explain it to Charlemagne, but he said, "This is my father, my biological father, that is, your grandfather!" ”
Charlemagne, who heard such news, couldn't help but be shocked, and looked at the old face of Archduke Wallace, and found that he was really a little similar to his father, and even to himself, especially the golden hair and blue eyes, which were the same, and there was almost no difference.
In this way, he reluctantly accepted this setting and handed over his grandfather.
But then, he couldn't help but say happily: "Father, you would never have imagined that I had captured King Norwid in the wild!" Lagunar! ”
"What?" William immediately stood up when he heard the news and said, "You really caught Lagunar?" ”
Charlemagne said with a smug face: "Of course, I'll let someone bring him up!" ”
