"Are you sure no one is following?"

I went to the door and listened for a while, and asked the Duke of Hanover, who was overly excited after drinking, and the latter put his hand into the crotch of his trousers, scratching as if no one was around, and he looked like a bad old man, and the image of the mighty old knight during the day was almost like two people, and if I hadn't been too familiar with him, the collapse of the idol monument would have destroyed my nerves.

"Don't worry, absolutely not, you don't want to think about who I am!"

The old duke pinched and played with the lice he caught, and the bad taste made my back itch for a while, and as a result, people were tired of playing and threw it into their mouths, crunching and chewing with relish.

"Before I came out, I deliberately asked my cronies to go to the kitchen to help me get a piece of raw cheese to relieve hangover, and the movement was so loud that it was estimated that the ears of the whole castle were drawn over, so I took the opportunity to slip over, and now no one knows where I have gone except God and you...... Uh, and my squire. He scratched the hand that had just been put into the crotch of his pants and scratched it in the back of his head, eating and laughing nonchalantly.

"After the war, I'll send a few engineers to you, repair a special bathroom, take a hot bath every day and then sleep, how comfortable it is!"

After listening to his words, I was relieved to go back to the table and sit down, and the old duke was about to pour himself wine with a long yawn, so frightened that I immediately snatched the flask, and filled both glasses neatly, and almost dropped the mud in my nails into the wine, or picked off my lower body!

"You don't pour wine for a long time, and this sneaking along the way can make my mouth dry, and I have to be more careful than hiding from Marilyn, the chaff in my house, and going to find my mistress, this feels ......" The old duke pouted and was about to continue, but was interrupted by me with black lines.

"I'm not interested in your love history. My lord, don't tell outsiders about this kind of thing casually, in case I drink too much like today and don't open the door to my mouth, and I poke you out, Lady Marilyn must not use a knife to castrate your old man's life? This lady's fierceness is well known in aristocratic circles......"

The longer I spent with him, the more I could show the cynical childlike mentality of the old duke, perhaps this is the true portrayal of the nobles, fierce on the outside, stubborn on the outside, and soft on the inside, and I have seen the big men who are like giant bears at the mass ceremonies presided over by the bishop several times, crying in their palms, delicate like a little girl still playing with dolls.

It's too easy to be moved by something outside of the body, and a clergyman with a fat brain can make them willingly pay money out of the fold by taking a broken book and holding a cross, which seems to me to be stupid.

The old duke's face suddenly turned red, and he couldn't hold his wine glass and pretended to drink to hide his embarrassment. replied curtly: "I respect my own wife, otherwise how can I be bullied by a girl, you are too young, you don't understand, God has given you a pair of sharp teeth, is it just used to ridicule others?" It's a shame not to dedicate yourself to serving God......" he muttered to himself as he stared at the flames of the candles.

"God has given me this pair of sharp teeth, of course, for the great cause of upholding justice."

It was so funny to see him deflated, I laughed sarcastically as I rummaged through the scroll of paper inserted in the bottle and brought the map, and in order to make it easier for myself to identify, the edges of the different maps marked the letters of the area drawn, I found the parchment with d written on it, pulled it out and spread it out on the table, and pressed it with candlesticks and wine jugs on both sides.

As the map slowly unfolded, the Duke of Hanover also kept whispering exclaims, like a little fan who saw the idol poster, and spoke incoherently excitedly:

"I've heard for a long time that Nijmegen has collected all the best painters in Europe into his castle, and it's better to see it, but for God's sake, Lord Randy, bring two painters by the way when you send someone to repair the bathhouse, or just give me this picture?" Before the old duke could finish speaking, he swooped down on the table and began to play the scoundrel, almost knocking over the candlestick.

I had a chill in my back, regretting that I didn't screen carefully before choosing a partner, so that this thing fished in troubled waters to get the benefits, and was majestic on weekdays, who knew that it was an old naughty boy in private, but fortunately there were no mistakes since the cooperation was done properly, otherwise I would have been played to death by my pig-like teammates.

"Don't be like this, how can you embarrass the younger generation?"

I frowned and smiled bitterly, my face full of helplessness to be defeated by you: "I'll definitely give you a map, okay, don't make trouble, we should talk about something." ”

As soon as I heard that it was a serious matter, the old duke immediately changed back to the mode of sitting on the front side, and switched the dual system freely than i7, which is why he has gone through three dynasties, and has always stood still, I am not surprised to move the candlestick to the middle, pointing to the word on the map on behalf of Hesse and saying:

"Here we are, the castle of the Count of Hesse, where the combined forces of His Majesty the Emperor and Grand Duke Mieszko have surrounded the Duke of Franconia, who is trapped in the lonely city, while our enemy, Siegfried, Count of Luxembourg, has reduced his army and occupied Koblenz, the strongest castle on the Rhine, in an attempt to resist to the end."

"My forward advances to the line of Mainz to Worms in southern Francia, and to cut off the Luxembourgers from the flanks with the Franconians, but do not be too busy rejoicing, not far from Speyer, the Count of Conrad is the grandnephew of Otto, Duke of Carinthia, and his mother is Adelheide of Alsace, and although they have not openly joined the rebels, they will not easily let Nijmegen's army cross the border to Swabia, and besides, he is betrothed to the daughter of Hermann II, Duke of Swabia, Now is the time to seize the ducal throne, and once Nijmegen frees Hermann II, who is under house arrest, there will be nothing to do with Count Speyer. ”

The old duke listened intently to my miscellaneous information, rubbed a few gray beards on his chin repeatedly, and quickly digested the latest information that he did not know.

"Your information is too well-informed, I just dismissed the Duke of Franconia yesterday, and was surrounded by the emperor's army in Bamberg."

He leaned over the map and exclaimed, "If I remember correctly, Herman II's wife was the sister of King Rudolph of Burgundy, and now Rudolf III has no heir, and Herman II has no heir, and they are dead." Hehe, this Speiyer's Conrad has a lot of appetite, annexing three countries at once, and by the way, mixing up the real crown. ”

"That's right, his grandmother is the cousin of Siegfried, Count of Luxembourg, and the two families are somewhat related, I'm really afraid that this biggest variable will join the rebels, and the road to Rome will be completely blocked, whether you know it or not, the Vatican is the key to deciding the problem!"

"You mean His Majesty the Pope?"

The old duke opened his mouth wide in surprise, as if he felt that he was a little too pompous, so he pretended to be calm and stroked his beard: "To quell the internal rebellion, His Majesty the Emperor will definitely march into Rome to reorganize the dynasty, Rome is the brightest star in the crown of the imperial king, without its light, no matter how beautiful the crown is, it will be lifeless and colorless, and when the time comes, His Majesty Sylvester II will inevitably be replaced, compared to his calculating, His Majesty prefers that the supreme person who presides over St. Peter's Palace is an obedient rag doll, I think you are too unfounded." ”

"You misunderstood, my lord, His Majesty the Pope will not be able to make much trouble in Rome on his own, even if the rabble of the Lombard princes all stand on his side, I am afraid that it is not our opponent, but the Vatican is the show and endorsement of the strong, and I am afraid that someone will take advantage of this difficulty, which is not good for us." Through the burning candle flame, my old duke's expression gradually subsided, and it was obvious that he understood his intentions.

"Someone? Is it His Majesty the Emperor? Or ......" He asked as his gaze fell straight on the map, as if he could find some answer from it.

"Your Majesty the Emperor, or that pious man of the Capetian family in Paris." I nodded at the thoughtful old duke and didn't continue.

"I'll just say that the liar hiding in Dresden will not be so reckless in doing things, and it turns out that there is such a suspicious intention behind the divorce of his wife."

The old duke slammed the table, shaking the candlestick, and looked at me as if he remembered something: "I shouldn't have brought Princess Figura over in the first place, isn't this tantamount to dismantling my own platform?" ”

"Everything is God's arrangement, Lord Duke, and he alone is the All-Knowing and Almighty, and if I had the ability to predict the future, wouldn't I be arrogant? However, things are man-made, and there is always a bright spot when the mountains and rivers are restored, and it is necessary to start the God-given mind to think, and this heavy head case is not a burden for decoration. ”

I knocked on my temple to soothe his slightly agitated emotions, and the old duke suddenly calmed down, and looked at me with a complicated look on his face, as if to say that since you have brought me here, you must have an idea, and you say that I will do it.

"Have you ever heard the saying that the strong branch is weak? Nijmegen and Hanover are strong branches, and Your Majesty is the weak trunk, I am afraid that our Majesty will not be able to sleep soundly at night, with two uncontrolled swords of Dalimos hanging over his head, and it will be difficult for Rao to close his eyes without heart or lungs. ”

When I was a child, the comic book "Zizhi Tongjian" was not in vain, I learned something somewhat, and these four words are perfect to describe the current situation.

"Your Majesty's step-by-step arrangements are very meticulous, he wants to be a real emperor so much, like the previous ancestors, majestic command the world."

"Repudiating his wife is the first step, pulling two foreign aid to support him, and then sweeping away the large and small forces in the country through the civil war, further strengthening the power in his hands, and finally marching to Rome to set up a pope who is only his own horse, Nijmegen and Hanover will continue to act as cannon fodder and block the eye-catching role, and if you don't obey, you can justifiably cut the feudal domain to attack us, which is why I don't stop attacking, as long as you have enough strength, God can't help you. So Denmark planted the battle flag of Nijmegen, Duke Otto of Carinthia died, Bavaria also changed masters, and Lorraine was gradually occupying and digesting. ”

"But I still need Rome, the temple that allows us to straighten up and speak, once Your Majesty has a pope who is loyal to him, he can easily destroy any opponent from soul to body, I guess you don't want to see the sun that day, and seriously, you can't see ...... either"
