The two teams stopped at a safe distance and loudly informed each other of the identities of their respective sons, because at this moment they represented the feudal monarch who had not yet appeared, and the pomp and circumstance had to be sufficient.

After the lengthy shouting of the competing voices, the two sides finally began to officially enter the topic.

Since Hans had his back to me, I could only judge the content and intensity of the conversation from the expression on his face opposite the Spayer Knight, who had the upper hand in Nijmegen, at least so far, and the Spayer Knight blushed with anger and moved as if he were dancing.

Perhaps not speculatively, after a while, both sides politely said goodbye, Hans turned his horse's head and led the knights back, and the castle gate was opened, and the knights who had returned from negotiations were accepted.

"My lord, the Count of Speyer wants to see you."

Hans had just jumped off his horse, and before he could stand firmly, he exclaimed, "That knight on the other side is so rude, he looks so arrogant that he can't figure out the current situation, and I have been beaten down by me." ”

"What do they say, the castle is too full of people to squeeze in?" I playfully raised my eyebrows, hooked my belt with my hands, and stood in a daze.

"Do you want to refuse Count Speyer?" Hans asked tentatively.

"Refusal? Why refuse? That seems to be our Nijme Hendo without grace. ”

Looking at the archers on the ramparts, I replied nonchalantly: "Give them a signal, in favor of a meeting between the two sides, I would like to see someone with such a name as a good man." ”

Hans nodded in response, and ordered a knight to run to the middle of the open space outside the castle with a white flag.

After a while, the Count of Speyer also sent a knight carrying the white flag to stand in the same position, and planted the flag in the ground at his feet.

At the same time, the archers on the city wall loosened the full bowstring and lowered the tip of the arrow, indicating that they would never take the opportunity to play black hands during the negotiation, but there was some unscrupulous temperament, and then the attendants of both sides rushed to the set negotiation site and quickly set up, erected a small four-corner pergola, and placed the cross and the Bible in a conspicuous position, the subtext was that they would negotiate fairly with each other under the witness of God, and those who played tricks and tricks would be punished by God.

I tidied up the chain mail on my body, thought about it and took off my helmet again, scratched the two as smoothly as I could, and felt that my appearance was worthy of the status of a duke, so I set out.

In the city gate, a group of people galloped out from afar, for the knight to play a white background red cross St. George flag, in the middle of the red cross there is also a cute version of the gecko, Speyer's patron saint is St. George, and the gecko is from the local legend that has been passed down for a long time, this combination of animals and patterns is not uncommon on the family coat of arms of the nobility, and then gradually evolved into the coat of arms decorated on the armor shield and flag, although the use of geckos is a little funny, but it is always a hundred times stronger than painting a toad or salmon on the flag.

Henry of Speyer......

How so? This is the first time I've met myself.

He was younger and more handsome than I had imagined, even if I didn't want to admit it, but in all fairness, Lord Count was indeed different from other raunchy Frankish nobles, with his short and delicately trimmed beard, coupled with his angular handsome face, he would be the center of attention of the crowd and the fuse of women's wars wherever he went, and even made me deeply wonder if it was related to the same water and soil, why the nobles further south looked more handsome, such as the Duke of Crescenti's family, while the nobles in the north of the empire were rough and savage, It is a pity that the masculinity is not good, and the Duke of Hanover and I are among them.

The two sides were free from the false politeness and red tape, and the Count of Speyer and I nodded to each other as a greeting, although he should salute me according to the dignity of his status, but no one had the leisure to care so much on the sabre-rattling battlefield, and the undeclared war and the frenzied plundering of Nijmegen did infuriate the well-bred Count, who probably wished to show his attitude by being tough on the details.

"Lord Duke, long time no see."

After staring at each other for a long time, Earl Henry, who was the proposer of this negotiation, decided to speak first to break the silence, but speaking first did not mean that he had the initiative in the talks, so I confidently stared at what he would do next.

"Forgive me for being forgetful, Lord Earl, I don't remember what we crossed, you know, there are so many people I have to remember......"

Quietly buried a soft nail in the answer, the implication is that you little earl can't get into the eyes of the law at all, I hugged my elbow calmly, waiting to see him laugh.

A hint of displeasure flashed across his face, which was quickly concealed by the noble and reserved manner, and I secretly praised him for his excellent upbringing.

"I think you may have forgotten that it was a wonderful memory for me to witness your canonization ceremony in the Vatican palace with all the nobles."

Count Henry gracefully showed a harmless smile of humans and animals, which was quite affinity.

"In the holy Vatican, and canonized by the two Majesties themselves, everyone is jealous of the glory you have received, and you deserve it."

Hehe, I've found it back here, it seems to be a light reminiscence of the past, but in fact it refers to the stumbling people who scolded Huai, what makes me worthy of this glory? I co-authored and allowed the army of Nijmegen to loot the village, and the value of the village was greatly reduced!

If you want to put it in the previous temper, I must have fried him and beat him without discussion, but now you are also the Dinghai Shenshen Needle who has experienced strong winds and waves, and it is not the little angry young man who is at one point, and you want to make me mess up in a few words? Just kidding, being thick-skinned is the pinnacle skill of human evolution.

"Thank you for your compliment, I will cherish this glory and always remember it before God, all glory is a flashy decoration, and everything will be to the Lord."

I deliberately pretended not to understand, and pushed up Tai Chi in vain, avoiding the important and lightly leading unpleasant topics to the level of faith, and dressing myself up as an innocent devout disciple.

Sure enough, Earl Henry realized that there was no point in continuing to dwell on this issue, so he had to silently swallow the bitter fruit of the defeat in the first round of confrontation, and the scene fell into an awkward silence again.

In accordance with the rules of convention, and for the sake of safety and secrecy, both of our squires were required to stand ten paces away, and were not allowed to carry any weapons other than the knight's sword, so that they could not hear their masters arguing fiercely. The deep hostility and distrust of each other in their bones made these loyal servants keep their swords on high alert, and never leave the hilt of their swords with their palms, so that they can react quickly when the situation is critical, and if they can capture the other party's lord by the way, they do not mind taking risks at the bottom of the honor of the nobility, since ancient times, whether ancient or modern, Chinese and foreign, the victor will never be condemned.

I leisurely and leisurely admired the scenery with my hands behind my back, but the little drum in my heart sounded rapidly, and the Earl of Henry and I stood with our backs, as if ready to dry up, and the confrontation between the two turned from light to darkness.

There was a slight wind on the ground, and the grass rustled softly, and the war horses that were grazing with their heads down licked their lips, flicked their beautiful long tails to drive away the small insects that rose with the wind, and stared at the humans who suddenly fell silent with their big eyes with long round eyelashes.

"Speyel is neutral, we have not joined the rebels, we have not secretly financed their operations, your surprise attack on us is an unprovoked act of aggression and will surely be condemned by God!"

The young earl clenched his fists and shouted, the angry look almost made me think that he was going to pounce on him and beat himself, and he took half a step back with a weak heart, but fortunately his expression was calm enough, otherwise the man would be lost.

"Neutral? Hehe......"

As if hearing something funny, my long dry laugh was like an obscure rusty saw blade, and I was so startled that the war horse snorted a few times: "God, how can there be such a strong quibble? Opportunistic neutrality is treason, and Speyer's approach is tantamount to financing the enemy, no different from joining the rebels with a sword! ”

I met the retort of the firm righteousness that slowly faded from his eyes, and took a few generous steps, and my outstretched finger almost poked Count Henry's chest.

"So you indulge your knights, killing people and setting fires everywhere like hungry wolves into sheepfolds, and robbing our villages and towns? Hold on to the cross on your breast, my lord, who is the sanctimonious duplicity who claims to preserve the unity of the empire, but who is the sanctimonious duplicity of Speiyel to war? The more he spoke, the more agitated he became, and without fear he met my eyes, and burst out of anger and fire.

I ignored the Count's madness, after all, I knew that he was the one who was not sure to win the battle and asked for negotiations, and the gap in strength gave me absolute confidence to slowly wear out, Nijmegen once again grasped the point of victory, and before the enemy gathered strong strength, quickly smashed the Yellow Dragon, and the advantage brought by the improvement of the intelligence system made the information we had obviously not equal, and also determined the ultimate success or failure.

"The louder the party in a quarrel, the less confident they are, thinking that they can use the flowery language of a peacock feather to intimidate their opponent, but don't forget, the peacock has a bald ass behind its beautiful screen feathers!"

I was like a political teacher lecturing to my students, and the more relaxed I was when I grasped the Count's weakness.

"If Nijmegen hadn't grown wings and descended from the sky, wouldn't it have been Speyer's heavy army that was waiting for me? Do you dare to pat your chest and promise to let us pass by unconditionally? Now see who is telling the truth! ”

Earl Henry lowered his eyes in silence, my unacceptable snatching disrupted his disguised elegance and reserve, and the knight of Speyer nervously rested his hand on the hilt of his sword, and our quarrel clearly made them understand that the matter had reached a point of imminent danger, and that it was imperative to protect their lord.

"It's war, isn't it?" He spit out a few words in relief, as if he was talking to himself and like asking, and I politely said goodbye, leaving not a single word.
