Kohler helped me to lie down on the cool bed that is common in Italy, the expensive wool bedding was clean and soft, and the smell of lavender was faint when I sniffed carefully.

It's the smell of lavender, I sighed in my heart, the wine is aphrodisiac, and the whole person is instantly shrouded in sad emotions.

"Your Excellency!"

Kohler handed me a cup of hot water, and he saw that I was sad, so he didn't continue, but just stood quietly, and his heart must have been equally painful at this moment.

The warm water flowed down my throat into my esophagus, gradually warming all the organs in my chest and driving away the lingering liquor, and I felt better: "I know about you, Duke Richard told me. ”

"Hmm!"

Khloe's simple response, like his character, has always been stoic and calm, doing more and saying less, and no matter how close people are, they can't peek into the bottomless heart.

"It's time to pay the bloody debt." I sat up cross-legged and slammed the cup to the ground, shattering and flying everywhere.

He bit his lip imperceptibly, and his expression changed slightly: "Soldiers, everything is at your command, my lord." ”

Here's the answer I'd like to hear: "Tell me about the news from the north, after going to Rome, the intelligence network is completely broken, and you can only rely on scouts to deliver general information." ”

If Kohler didn't know anything about it, it meant that the enemy in the shadows had uprooted Nijmegen's intelligence system.

"If you want to ask Leonardo......

Kohler's silence says it all: "I don't necessarily know more than you. ”

It's a tough opponent!

"So, even Leonardo's side hasn't heard from him?"

"After losing the source of information for a long time, I realized that something was wrong, so I tried to contact the hidden undercover agent through the dark line, but I still found nothing, the secret contact point was destroyed, and there was not even a warning signal left, so I suspect ......"

Kohler subconsciously touched his belt again, where he hung the quiver box.

"You suspect there's a ghost inside?"

I finished speaking for him, and the two of them looked at each other without saying a word, in fact, since the loss of contact, I can't rule out the possibility of this danger.

"It's not just that there are ghosts, the enemy has insight into every one of our intelligence chains, knows all the locations and contact methods, it must have been hidden for a long time, and even more than one person or generation, they are slowly infiltrating in an organized and purposeful way, and their intentions will never just bring down Nijmegen."

Kohler stopped talking no further, he knew his weight, he knew where the red line was, and the secret between me and Leonardo was inconvenient for him to know, and he would not let him know.

But I understood what he was trying to say, the problem was not in this war, in Nijmegen, in the fall of hatred, in the fact that the enemy was simply coming at Enides, that there were people who coveted the treasures behind the ancient legends, and I don't know that after thousands of years of word of mouth, the secrets that Aeneas had left in the fragments of the treasure map had been falsely rumored to be priceless treasures or earth-shattering artifacts, all in all, it was a coveted existence that people wanted to claim for themselves.

It makes sense that Pope Sylvester II's rebellion against the Empire in Italy was due to the desire of those who believed that Nijmegen had found a fragment of the treasure map, and that the transfer of Nijmegen's army was just a domino for Domino.

Robert's ambitions, Flender's invasion, the long tug-of-war, the assassinations along the way against me......

One chain reaction after another, helping the enemy achieve their ulterior ambitions, bringing down Nijmegen, taking away the fragments of the treasure map, and completely destroying Enides, they are in the next big game, and the clever thing is to trick the pieces into thinking that they are the ones who play the game, willingly take the game, and then arrange the interlocking games within the game!

The more I thought about it, the more painful I clutched my scalp, as if this would calm down my exploding brain, and my career, smooth sailing to the duke's throne, high-spirited embracing beauty, and invincible in the world, which was the first domino to be pushed down by the manipulator in the dark?

It's messed up, the meridians in my brain are entangled and twisted, and I keep replaying the bizarre pictures.

Is this a life to be manipulated? What should I do?

"Your Excellency."

Kohler's voice was clear and firm, like a heart-clearing pill, and the medicinal effect was strong and effective, pulling me out of my state of continuation.

"I want revenge."

Avenge? It's revenge, but who is the enemy? Where are they? How many people are there? How powerful?

It's hard to say whether we're even in their hands right now, and it's easier said than done......

Moreover, I looked at Kohler fixedly, observing his dilated pupils and slightly fluttering eyelashes, as if I wanted to penetrate my own face, this loyal humerus minister, Kohler, are you really the Kohler I know?

Doubt is the most terrible emotion of human beings, it is silently generated, absorbing the dark and dirty precipitation of human nature, and then frantically developing, growing, replicating, and expanding, devouring healthy bodies and normal thoughts, corrupting the vitality of the host without limit, and finally parasitic in the brain nucleus of the poor man, misleading him to make all kinds of unreasonable judgments and actions, destroying everything he has built with his own hands, and finally smiling with relief.

"You doubt me, don't you?"

Kohler said calmly, his expression was as usual, and I hurriedly avoided his gaze, for fear that my mind would be seen through, which was more uncomfortable than running naked in broad daylight.

Smell a rat? Can you not doubt it? Who else can be trusted? But I can only shout these words silently in my heart, even if I am hoarse, it doesn't matter, but I must never really say them, once the lips and teeth collide, what pops out is no longer words, but the most hurtful steel knife and poison, trust this kind of thing, it takes a lot of hard work to build it, and it is quite easy to destroy it, there is no turning back.

The atmosphere is strange and awkward, two people look at each other, one is calm and terrible, the other is in turmoil, the invisible frost forms a thick wall, separating us in different worlds, a thousand words, looking at each other from afar, you are over there, I am here, how desolate.

"Remember it?"

Kohler reached for his waist and slowly pulled out a short dagger: "You gave it to me, and together we defeated the Friesian army. ”

Can you forget, those iron-blooded years?

"Remember, it was really dangerous at that time, and the castle of Herusbeck was brought to the enemy."

I smiled wryly: "It's the same as ...... now"

"Yes, the tiger who was also calculated by the enemy left the mountain, and he was homeless and could only hide in the mountains and wait for the opportunity, how could he stay comfortable now."

The dagger spun rapidly in his hand, drawing out gorgeous knife flowers: "Even if you are about to give up, you don't doubt your brothers and friends, my lord, is it that the family business is big and the status is high, do we have to follow the example of others and put on a mask and coldly reject people?" ”

The fortresses were breached from within, one betrayed the inner ghost and mixed the opponent with sand, and the owner of the fortress personally dismantled the load-bearing pillar stone, resulting in the irreversible collapse of the entire building, and Kohler was one of the pillars that built Nijmegen, and when he fell, Nijmegen collapsed in half.

"Poof!"

Suddenly, the dagger suddenly flipped in Kohler's hand, sinking deep into his left chest, and he stared at me calmly with his eyebrows and eyes, and said word by word:

"Now, you can believe it, right?"

After a long time, I was stupid and completed a whole set of procedures for seeing, thinking, judging, and reacting.

"Are you crazy!"

I hugged Kohler, who was collapsing from the loss of strength, and the blood disappeared from his face at a speed visible to the naked eye: "Don't die, don't die......"

This madman, who has never listened to me, drives his free and unruly body with a free and uninhibited soul, and always makes some shocking actions, even at the cost of his own life.

"Crazy?"

He lowered his eyes. The pupils were dim: "The home is gone, is it useful to leave this life empty?" My lord, it's not me who should cheer up, it should be you! ”

Talking too much, Kohler coughed violently, his panting getting heavier and heavier, and his shoulders shook violently.

"You can't die, give me life!"

I was so anxious that I cried, and I pressed my hand on his bleeding wound, but I didn't dare to pull out the dagger that was pierced in the vital point, it seemed to be the master switch of Kohler's life, and the slightest mistake would kill someone, and I didn't want him to die.

"Promise me, cheer up, become a desperate avenging angel and devour your enemies with the flames of hatred and destruction, promise me!"

He grabbed my hand and seemed to concentrate the last of his strength on his five fingers, crunching the joints.

"I promise you, Kohler, that we will go together for revenge and not die!"

"Really?"

Kohler's tone changed instantly, but he was still tired: "Don't worry, I'm not a critical one, I'm still some distance from my heart, but ...... Hey, it hurts terribly, and I'm going to get the blood dry if it goes on like this, so go and call someone......"

He struggled to finish his sentence, and finally fell into a coma.

As I wandered back and forth in front of the hospital bed with my hands behind my back, I was dizzy, and Kohler lay pale in the middle of a pile of soft bedding, at the mercy of two scruffy doctors, whose long nails were covered with black mud, and one had to wonder about the effectiveness of the wound treatment

"Can you stop going around?"

Duke Richard cried and begged for mercy while rubbing his head in pain: "My eyes are going to be entangled!" ”

Did I show you that? Holding these words in my stomach, I took a few more steps and leaned against the fireplace, and the burning wood released the fragrance of the forest, which was very comfortable.

The two veterinarian-like doctors handed Kohler a rope and motioned him to bite it in his mouth, just in case he couldn't help biting his tongue out of the pain when he was on the soldering iron, and Kohler complied with a blank face, his fingers clenched at the edge of the bed, resolutely like a condemned prisoner on the execution ground shouting that he would be a good man again in eighteen years.

A doctor poked the charcoal fire in the basin, took out the red-hot soldering iron close to his face and tested the temperature, and glanced at another colleague who was busy removing the bandage.

"How God has favored you, Randy, for such faithful men." Duke Richard covered his nose and said to me in a strange way.

You'll find a reason to mock me, the lion of Normandy.

I ignored him, and walked around the doctor around the bandaging doctor several times, until I confirmed that they really had some medical experience and could take care of Kohler's wounds, and then I breathed a long sigh of relief and sat back in my chair honestly.

Don't look at the doctor's clothes, his hands and feet can be called quick, except for the last tightening that he didn't grasp the severity, the pain made Kohler almost vomit blood, and the whole process was clean and neat.

"They usually treat the wounds of the horses that have been hit by arrows, don't worry."

Richard didn't know if he was relieved or unintentional: "Look at the horses outside, aren't they all alive now?" ”

Sure enough, the main business of doctors in this era is veterinarians, and saving lives and helping the injured is just a hand.

After finishing their work, the two doctors cleaned up a pile of things comparable to torture instruments, and clanged out of the room, leaving only the weak Kohler, the anxious me, and the lively Richard, the fire in the fireplace was beeping and burning, and without outsiders present, we had nothing to say.

"Dumb?"

The outspoken Duke of Normandy couldn't stand this embarrassing scene, and was the first to break the deadlock: "You Nijmegen people whisper, why don't I go out too?" ”

He was about to leave, but I deliberately didn't stop him, but I wanted to see how this guy stepped down.

Richard pretended to take two steps, and found that I didn't have a posture to hold, and I didn't stand or stand there, and it was quite funny to scratch my ears and cheeks.

"What about Reyek?" Just laughing, I'm not in the mood to continue playing, so I cut to the chase.

"I command him to keep watch outside and keep your secrets safe."

Richard absentmindedly replied, "You're looking for him?" I called in. ”

"The point is not him."

I waved my hand: "By no means alarmist, friend, my whereabouts must be kept completely secret, and no one else must know except for a few people who already know." ”

Richard shrugged his shoulders and said that he didn't know what he was doing, so I had to briefly describe to him what he had experienced since he left Rome, but he hid about the beggar king Houdini.

"If your suspicions are true, our opponents are not the ones who appear to be on the surface."

Although the Norman is a little anxious, his mind is not confused: "This enemy is thoughtful, vicious, and most terrible is the patience of stoicism......"

He sighed: "I kind of regret the arbitrary decision yesterday. ”

I smiled and didn't take it seriously: "The enemy is dark and I am clear, so I have to be extremely careful." ”

Richard nodded approvingly: "If you miss many times, they will want to get rid of me and then quickly, I believe that it won't be long before my position will be exposed, and everyone may be a hidden killer, and they can't be prevented." ”

"Is it safe to go to Turin? Your army is complex and is bound to be even more dangerous. ”

Richard stared at me sincerely: "Stay, let's go." ”

At this time, Kohler, who had been lying in bed in a semi-comatose coma, spoke: "The news of the disappearance of the adults and the great changes in the country, coupled with the effects of war weariness and homesickness, caused the soldiers to flee quite severely, and later even the nobles and knights did not say goodbye, and the armies of Swabia, Bavaria, and Carinthia were almost gone, and there was only an empty tent outside the city of Turin, and the strength was greatly reduced. ”

He paused to take a breath, and the newly tied white bandage on his left chest blurred a faint bloodstain: "Now it is all Nijmegen, and the veterans from the New Guard account for the majority, and I can guarantee their loyalty with my own life!" My lord, the warriors are waiting for you to return, and they have never lost hope of returning home! ”

"What's the use of being loyal! How many soldiers do you have left? Thousand? Five thousand? ”

Richard was in a hurry, and his voice suddenly raised an octave: "Do you need me to remind how many enemies there are ahead?" Not to mention the invisible, the light can be counted, the coalition of Flanders, Burgundy, Luxembourg, King Robert, and His Majesty Henry, who has attitude, have you counted, how many? Ten times, hundreds, a thousand times yours! ”

He was dumbfounded, and his attitude softened: "Don't take risks, stay sober, there will be a way, but it is by no means to send you to death." ”

Richard's words penetrated into his left ear, swept the cerebral cortex and then surged out of his right ear, and my attention was not at all, a figure rose in his mind, becoming clearer and clearer.

The giants of that era were also defeated and betrayed, trapped on a small island in the Mediterranean, and when all the enemies thought that he would never turn over again, the eagle with broken wings showed unparalleled influence, and with the help of only a dozen cronies, he was freed from captivity with the help of a dozen cronies, and the seemingly powerful enemies fell apart one by one, and watched the eagle re-ascend to the throne without a single shot, composing a miracle that would amaze future generations.

Can I replicate his saga?
