The young man, dressed in a blue and gold lily cloak and a jewel-encrusted gold crown, rode on a war horse, pointed to William near the city gate and said, "This little boy must be William, the son of Robert, and he is indeed a hero out of a young man." A good soldier who can be brought at a young age, I heard that these powerful young knights were trained by William himself, it's not simple, it's not simple. ”

"Your Majesty Henry, this kid is the mongrel William, but he is just a complacent illegitimate son who has achieved a little bit of success from his father and has no city." Among the knights behind King Henry I of France stepped out a tall middle-aged general, who touched his chest with his right hand and saluted.

"General Dugan, this time you can look away, William's arrogant appearance is made for everyone to see, he would rather be an arrogant second generation than an illegitimate child who no one cares about. Looking at those disciplined cavalrymen, it can be seen that William's ability is not weak to train such cavalry. Henry I turned and pointed at William.

"Yes, Your Majesty, you are quite right. Now let's go and meet His Excellency Robert the Duke of Normandy and ask him for his support, if your brother His Royal Highness Robert is crowned with the support of His Royal Highness Queen Constance, it will be too late, Your Majesty. Dugan said with his right hand on his chest and bowed.

"Hmph, Dugan let's go, go see the Duke of Normandy." Thinking of his hateful brother, Henry I threw down his sleeves and turned around and walked towards the Duke's palace in Normandy.

......

William led his fellow cavalrymen to the barracks in Fort Rouen, turned around, and headed for Phalle on the opposite side. Osborne said: "Faller, take my fellow cavalry, you can't pull down the daily training, if you have any difficulties, you can go to Sir Hubert." ”

"Yes, Master William." Phaleg stroked his chest and saluted.

"I'll leave it to you." Without waiting for Faller's reply, William rode towards the Duke's palace.

"Imperial ......"

William turned over and dismounted, handed over his horse to his servant, and as soon as he entered the ducal palace, he heard his father, Robert, discussing something important with another stranger.

With a trickle of golden eyes, William came to the door, his ears pressed against the door, wanting to hear what was being said inside.

"Your Excellency Duke Robert, I need your help to send troops to help me regain the French throne." Said King Henry I of France, who sat opposite Duke Robert.

"Your Majesty, what can I get if I send troops to help you?" Duke Robert said bluntly.

"Well, Lord Robert, if you help me return to Paris and regain the throne, I will give you the title of Barony of Wexon, north of Paris." After thinking about it, Henry I nodded and said.

"If you give me another barony in Wissan, I will grant you your request to send troops." Duke Robert bargained.

"I can't accede to your request, Wissan is a fief of the Valois family, but I will give Barony Waxon to your son William." Henry I pondered for a moment, shook his head lightly, and said.

"I am willing to send troops, this is the duty of a loyal vassal to his master. I am going to send 12,000 troops, and in three days I will send them to Paris. Duke Robert nodded in agreement.

William, behind the door of the study, heard these energetic conversations, couldn't hold back any longer, pushed open the door and stepped into the study.

"William, why are you here? Get out of here yet. Seeing William walk in and learning that the conversation had been overheard, Robert roared loudly.

"I'm sorry father, Your Majesty Henry, it was my fault to eavesdrop on your conversation, and I apologize to you." William bowed.

"Your Excellency Robert, you can spare little William this time, I think he is just a coincidence this time." Henry I persuaded from the sidelines.

"Hmph, William, I'll bypass you this time. Tell me, what did you do when you barged in? Duke Robert snorted and said with his hands on his chest.

"Father, please take me with you on the expedition, I will go too." William clenched his fists and said with a resolute expression.

"No, you're too young to go," Duke Robert refused with a wave of his hand.

"I don't, I'm going to go with you with my fellow cavalry." With a stubborn expression on his face, William mustered up the courage to speak loudly.

"Your mission is to protect Rouen." Duke Robert still insisted on refusing.

At this moment, His Majesty King Henry of France came and saw that a five-year-old child was willing to die for him.

As a down-and-out king who was driven out of Paris by his mother, with only the loyal twelve knights following him, his eyes were a little red, he took off the ring in his hand, bent down and handed it to William Jr. and said:

"Take it, brave little William, if one day you encounter great difficulties, take it to Paris and come to me, and then I will grant your request."

Seeing this, Duke Robert hurriedly stepped forward to stop him: "Your Majesty can't." ”

As the king of France, you can't bend down to anyone.

At this time, the quick-eyed little William stretched out his hand and took the ring from His Majesty Henry's hand and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty, I will be loyal to you wholeheartedly when I grow up." ”

"Return the ring to Your Majesty." Duke Robert glared at William fiercely, reaching out to snatch the ring from William's hand.

"Hmph, I don't." As he spoke, William put his hands behind his back and twisted his body.

"Your Excellency Robert, let William take it." Henry I advised.

"Then thank you, Your Majesty." Duke Robert said.

William here put the ring into his arms, looked up at Robert and said, "Father, I want to take my companion cavalry to Uncle Robert's Earlcounty of Evreux, I haven't been to Earldom of Evreux this year." ”

"You! William, you can give me some peace, and stay in Rouen honestly and wait for me to come back. Duke Robert pointed at William, looking like he hated iron but not steel.

"Father, you promise me that the old butler Osborne and Sir Hubert will accompany me, rest assured, father." William assured by patting his small chest hard.

"Your Excellency Robert, the eaglet also has to flap its wings and fly high to become an eagle soaring in the sky, but it's just a trip to Evle, let William go." Here Henry I said.

"Alright, William, I promise you, go down and get ready." William couldn't resist His Majesty's persuasion, and waved his hand in agreement.

"Thank you so much, Father. Well... Hmmm—" William jumped up for joy, kissed his father Robert on the cheek, turned and ran out of the study.

Robert raised his hand and touched his wet cheek on the left side, and said gently, "This kid, ahahahaha." ”

"Little William, a great heir." Henry I nodded in approval.

"That kid is still far away." Although Duke Robert was unforgiving, his face was irrepressibly proud.
