"Lord Earl, I have no intention of harming you, nor of everyone present, just because it is difficult to disobey the king's order."

I exaggerated the way I looked in the movie, drew several circles in the air with my right hand, and then bent down to salute with my chest, Henry didn't run away but it was a big piece of my mind, but unfortunately everyone watched, and I also brought a clergyman as a shield, and it was impossible to kill him secretly, only to take one step at a time.

"Monarch's life? Lord Duke, Speyer has been strictly neutral from the very beginning, and has neither an enemy nor a single soldier in the rebellion, but I would like to ask which of your orders is told? ”

Henry relied on the sharp eyes of many people, forgive me for not daring to play any tricks, and the tone of his speech was a lot harder, and he even questioned each other sarcastically, Ya is quite smart, at this time, the higher the voice, the more I can't do anything with him.

"What do you say? Which king's order was served? Hehe......"

I laughed dryly, deliberately squeezing my throat to make an uncomfortable thin sound, first disgusting and disgusting the stinky and shameless hob meat opposite.

"And the Lord said, Submit yourselves to all the institutions of men, either to the kings who are above, or to the rulers whom the king hath appointed to punish the evil and reward the good. My allegiance is naturally to the Emperor of Germany, whom God has chosen and who has been crowned by the Pope, the only ruler of the world, the irrefutable king of the land, who is both my emperor and my feudal king, and of course obeys his orders. Let me think, if I remember correctly, have you, Henry, Earl of Speyer of House Tharian, including your noble ancestors, not reaffirm your family's loyalty again and again in prayer and vows in the Bible? ”

Henry's expression froze suddenly, he didn't expect his opponent to take the proverbs in the Bible against him.

In this era, there were not many literate aristocrats, and even fewer could memorize the Bible in large quantities, and even if he was highly educated, he did not dare to guarantee that he would quote the scriptures in chapters, so he would be a little slow for a while.

The priest, who stood between us, wiped the sweat from his forehead and replied hesitantly: "Your Majesty's acceptance of a new wife before the marriage contract has been dissolved is a desecration against the Holy Marriage, whose authority comes from God, whose crown has been conferred by His Majesty, and whose crown is still on her head until it is officially recognized by the Holy See." No one but the Most High God and His most pious servants can deprive her of the rights and glory she deserves, not even His Majesty the Emperor! ”

As he spoke, he turned red with excitement and put on a look of righteous indignation.

"Your Majesty is right, Your Majesty's actions have been denied and questioned by the Holy See, he is an out-and-out hypocrite and apostate, and to carry out his erroneous orders is to play for the tiger, Lord Duke, do you also want to stand against God and justice, huh?"

Henry finally found the weapons and arguments to fight back, and took a few big steps forward triumphantly, and the monastic life in Italy made him extremely confident in his theological cultivation, even if the Duke of Nijmegen was blind and met with the nonsense of a dead mouse, he might not necessarily have the upper hand.

"Yes, all glory be to God, and as the spokesman of heaven on earth, His Majesty the Pope has the right to make judgments, and we should all obey them."

I nodded in agreement, pretending to ply clench my fist and pound my heart, my face full of painful entanglement: "But what about the facts? Before the official decision of the Vatican, the Count of Luxembourg went to war and foolishly used violence to vent his anger. Where to place the neon? Where to place the sacred faith? Could it be that His Majesty encouraged the division of the country through shameful acts of war, resulting in the destruction of Gangchang and the destruction of human beings? ”

Fortunately, my mouth was sharp enough, and I had already practiced the kung fu of messing around, and I grabbed the loopholes between the lines of the two and picked the bones, and the priest choked on the continuous dignified questions, and the Earl of Henry was also disrupted by me, and he blushed and remained silent.

The situation is good, I decided to strike while the iron is hot, as more and more people gather in the room, it is basically impossible for the enemy to escape, but I want to play a trick and get rid of Earl Henry, and I also lost the best opportunity, so I simply used my special skill to fool and first sit in front of everyone to confirm the fact that Spayer participated in the rebellion, and then it would be well documented in case of going to court or some people settling accounts after the fall.

The small abacus crackled, and the heart moved faster than anyone else, no way, if you don't pay attention to it these years, you will suffer, and you have not let His Majesty Otto use it as a gunman before.

After pacing two steps in the middle, I cleared my throat and confidently continued: "Priest, you can bear witness that Nijmegen, as a vassal of the Saxon royal family and an imperial duke, was it wrong to carry out the feudal lord's order to go to Swabia to rescue the Duke who was under house arrest by the traitors? Speyer was a well-known transport hub, and how could the Swabian rebels be in Offenbach without the Ken of Count Henry? So why did the so-called neutral Speyer close the border to Nijmegen? To tell you the truth, I have here evidence that can prove that Count Henry secretly rebelled against his enemies, my lord, but if there is a glimmer of hope, I will never be willing to fight in the same room. ”

"What!?"

It was Father Dominic and Count Henry, one full of guilt, the other full of surprise, and I squinted my eyes and sneered.

Leonardo's Chamber of Commerce has been doing business with Speyer for so many years, and he has already found out the bottom of the girl inside and out, and he is familiar with burying two small nails unconsciously, and the double reed around you is no matter how realistic it is, the audience has lost their appetite for spoilers in advance, and the outside is pretending to be a decent gentleman, and the little fox's tail is still firmly held in my hands.

Father Dominic subconsciously stayed away from Henry, too busy to clean himself, dealing with this kind of nerd, even scaring and intimidating, and finally a few conclusive cruel words, absolutely no idea.

When Henry saw that the shield was about to turn against him, his eyes turned like a marquee, and he quietly retreated and returned to the protection of his own people.

In fact, the evidence in my hands is nothing more than some letters exchanged between Speier and the Duke of Franconia and the Count of Luxembourg, in which he said cruel words about his heart, exaggerated to say that he was suspected of collaborating with the enemy, and at least like a bear child privately passing a note to scold the teacher, his heart can be punished but he is not able to catch it.

Unfortunately, Henry's psychological quality was too poor, and that exclamation had already made him lose the trust of Father Dominic, and at the same time made those present believe that he had plotted to rebel.

"I am a servant of God, and I will not engage in worldly battles until I receive a clear command from the Vatican, but I hope that adults will remember God's teachings, bear all things, believe all things, hope all things, endure all things, and never be obsessed with murderous thoughts."

Father Dominique drew a cross on his chest with great gravity, mercifully exhorting both parties, and I sneered in my heart, and saw clearly the hypocrisy of the clergy.

When the situation is not good, he plans to change sides and take sides, always putting on a high-minded and compassionate saint's face, but if it were not for the Vatican's backing, how could the rebels dare to blatantly kill people and set fires?

Without the financial support of the diocesan bishops and monasteries, what would Luxembourg, which had long been controlled by the Nijmegen Chamber of Commerce as the economic lifeline, feed the army and pay the knights?

The dream of the Holy See is to be the supreme ruler of this vast land, from the presence of priests by Gregory V to the administration of the domain, to the threat of Sylvester II's expulsion of the emperor to open the eyes of the rebels, not to expand the secular power of the Vatican.

Don't be obsessed with murderous thoughts?

I just want to smile contemptuously at their ornate beaded crowns!

Count Henry is completely out of mind, he understands what will happen if he falls into my hands, the Duke of Nijmegen has always been known in aristocratic circles for his ruthlessness, and everyone who opposes him will either die in the end or disappear abnormally, under the mask of harmless smiles of people and animals, it is a bloody mouth that eats people and does not spit out bones, and I don't know whether it is the change of his personality that has made this career, or the rise of the cause to reshape his domineering character.

"Lord Count, God bears witness that Nijmegen will guarantee your personal safety and honor from being violated, and you can also choose to wait for the ransom from the fiefdom in the church in Nijmegen, or in the monastery, all in accordance with your noble status except for the limited freedom, please lay down your arms My lord, the two Majesties will surely give you a fair ruling, trust me with the guarantee of nobility and family honor, and if these are not enough, then add to my wife's family, please lift your unnecessary guard."

Henry is now like a blue screen computer, not a major failure, but a temporary short circuit, reboot the machine can return to normal, but in the chaos of the situation, he stubbornly pinned his hopes on heat treatment, and used my contradictory statements to find arguments, and the result was of course more and more chaotic, and the more he could not get out.

Aside from Speyer's important strategic location, just the blood of the Tharian family flowing in Henry's veins, with Emperor Henry still having no heirs, it is more likely that he will inherit the throne.

The descendants of Conrad I, for the throne that was snatched away by the Saxon family, they have been hiding their minions for several generations, and finally waited for the God-given opportunity now, and will never give up, once they regain the throne, the counterattack to suppress the Saxon family must be murderous, and at that time, as the number one eagle dog of the Otto royal family, how can Nijmegen be alone?

At present, the best interests of my long-term development are to retain the throne of House Saxony, and to deal with all potential enemies with Salian's blood once and for all.

Otto, the Duke of Carinthia, who had blasted the first stab, was finished, and his son was left with nothing left to carinthia, unable to stir up any storms.

The defeat of the Duke of Franconia was doomed, and His Majesty the Emperor would not let go of this rebellious fellow.

William, Bishop of Strasbourg, was powerful, but it was difficult for him to take over secular affairs as a clergyman.

The only uncertain factor is Henry, Count of Speyer, although killing him is not a hundred, at least get rid of the troubles in his heart, and after a hundred years of Emperor Henry, he will elect Hermann, the Duke of Swabia, the long branch of Otto the Great, to the throne as a puppet, and Nijmegen will continue to make a lot of money!

When I was nervously waiting for Count Henry to make a decision, he suddenly screamed in pain, hunched over and staggered and almost fell, left and right hurriedly reached out to support the master, and a dagger was inserted in the back of his heart, the culprit was a middle-aged knight with a righteous face, no one expected that such a person would suddenly murder his own feudal lord with a black hand.

"Hurry up!"

I gave the order, the Nijmegen warrior quickly took control of the situation, and the Count Henry struggled to say something, but unfortunately the dagger was too deep, and there was no hope of healing, his blank eyes stopped at a distant point, and his pupils gradually dilated, and he would never wake up again.

In the panic of the figures, the murderer who plotted against the Count was pushed out of the window by the swarming attendants, planted into the mud fiercely, and convulsed twice......

In the early hours of the next morning, Rollo and I were at the edge of the forest, far from the castle, bidding farewell to Leonardo's inner line that had been laid out a long time ago, and he did not want to reveal his name, but only wanted to go back as soon as possible to end his undercover career, and then find a place where no one knew him to enjoy the rest of his life.

I pretended to keep and encourage him, and personally grabbed the reins for him, saying goodbye to this unsung hero who helped me solve my big troubles, who was moved to tears and reluctant to leave.

"Let's do it!"

I left this sentence coldly before riding back to the city, and Rollo nodded knowingly, and took out the crossbow hidden in his cloak......
