If Holnan really thinks so, it is a big mistake, the empire has the Northern Lorraine nobles firmly in their hands, and they are cautious in managing Saxony, as long as they do not take the initiative to go south to deal with the Germanic nobles, these Germanic heroes will naturally not take the initiative to cause trouble. It is naturally good to let the Wei Ting family fall to the empire, but if the price is too great, it can only give up. Hornan is too confident, he will definitely suffer if he continues like this, Luo Weidenov doesn't want to see the Weiting family weakened, no matter what, the existence of the Weiting family can bring many benefits to the empire. After chatting with the bartender for a while, Lovednov went upstairs and went into his room, and when the bartender left, he called his attendant to his side, "The situation in Merlin City is very wrong, you go out in a while, tell the others to keep an eye on the Luke family and the Veran family by all means, and in addition, the little prince Moore will also send more people." If there's anything unusual on Karon's side, you don't need to ask for instructions, just kill him first. ”

A Merlin city, the forces are intricate, it seems that the Red Grape nobles led by the Weiting family are the most powerful, but there are also many forces hidden in the shadows. We must try our best to find out the situation, and at this time we must not hesitate at all, and if we delay for a moment, we may lose all our achievements. For the Frankish messenger Caron, Lovednov did not have a good impression, the others could not move, but there was absolutely no problem in moving Caron. Due to the future Baltic strategy, the empire will definitely go west to Denmark and annex the island of England, and when the time comes, a conflict with the Franks is inevitable, and since it is an enemy, it does not need to be too polite. The cold wind was blowing outside, and there were few pedestrians, and it was in this bad weather that a man was tightly wrapped and walked quickly towards the Nanlin Manor, where the Luke family was located, wrapped in black skin, and no one could see his appearance clearly. When he came to the gate of the manor, he was naturally stopped by the guards, "This is Nanlin Manor, and you must not be summoned by Earl Lafford, and you are not allowed to break in." ”

"Tell Laffle, and say that Thurin City Moore asks to see him" The man who came took off his hood and showed a handsome face, who could this person be if he was not the little prince Moore? The guard was taken aback, quickly confessed, and hurried to pass the word. The cold wind was raging, the snow and ice were ready to fall at any moment, and in this kind of weather, no one wanted to go out, and the older Laford got, the worse his spirit became, and now it was not yet day, so he lay down by the fireplace and took a nap. The Luke family is not a big family like the Sousa and the Weting family, and their influence is limited, but the ability of a family to stand in Merlin City for two hundred years without falling is in itself. The big family has the way of living of the big family, and the small family has the way of the small family. Raffle's father was in poor health and died at the age of thirty, so Laffle inherited the title of earl at the age of fourteen, and to this day, it has been more than fifty or forty years of experience, and Ladford's heart has long been honed like an abyss, unfathomable. When Hor Nan attacked Merlin Avenue, many nobles of the Wei Lan family and the Luke family couldn't sit still, clamoring to teach Hol Nan a lesson. Only Rafford remained calm, as if nothing had happened.

Not only did Raffle not retaliate against Hornan, but he also ordered the family to clamp their tails from now on and behave, and if anyone went to trouble the Wei Ting family, no one would help if something happened. Is Raffle cowardly? No, he's not cowardly at all, he just sees farther and deeper than others. If the Wei Ting family dares to move Merlin Avenue, they must have made up their minds to centralize power, Huo Ernan is not a fool, will he not rely on it? I'm afraid that at this time, he is looking forward to the Luke family to make trouble, and he has a reason to further weaken the opposition. Decades of experience have made Rafford understand a truth, recklessness and courage cannot achieve great things, to truly control the overall situation, you must first see through the situation, before seeing the situation clearly, the only thing you can do is to stand still, sometimes, the more you do, the more you make mistakes. The senile Raffle always gives people a feeling of weakness, but who can really see through him? Rafford has been waiting, waiting for the interests of all parties to lose patience and surface. With the strength of the Luke family, it would be wishful thinking to deal with the Weiting family, even if all the family weapons were concentrated, it was already less than one-tenth of the Weiting family. However, Raffle has his own family wisdom, and it is not terrible to be weak, but it is terrible not to know how to borrow. When the guards came running in, Raffle smiled, and after waiting so long, finally someone came.

Surrounded by the guards, Moore walked into the Nanlin Manor, which was not magnificent, but it was small and powerful, just like Rafford's personality, which was plain and sharp. Looking at Moore in front of him, he was not surprised at all, it was impossible, Moore represented the royal Henry family, and the Henry family actually had the idea of attacking the Weiting family, which was really unexpected. Even Rafford didn't think that the Henry family harbored evil intentions, and Holnan's wouldn't even think of it. Moore looked up and down, and immediately pursed his lips, secretly saying in his heart, what did his father think, he valued Raffle so much, this old man was about to die, his old eyes were dizzy, what was the use? Rafford keenly caught the disdain in Moore's heart, and he was not annoyed, but just motioned for Moore to sit down and speak, "His Royal Highness Moore came really fast, I thought that Caron would be the first to come, it seems that the royal family and the senate are still unwilling after all." ”

Moore was astonished, and the contempt in his heart was greatly reduced, and he frowned, and whispered, "Sir Rafford, do you know what I mean?" Or, did you expect me to come to you? ”

"Isn't it? It seems that the royal family can't intervene in the matter of Marina's marriage at all, since it can't be intervened, just send a senate attendant over, why send a prince here? Royce lives in Varro Manor, and the Wettin family is likely to fall to the Easterners, and at this time, the most anxious person should be Caron, but the first thing that can't help it is you" Raffle is still drowsy and can't open his eyes, but his words are full of wisdom, which makes people unable to extricate themselves, Lafford also intends to teach Moore a lesson, this hairy boy, his eyes are above the top, and he should take some lessons, "Hey, if the expectations are good, I'm afraid that before coming to Merlin City, the royal family has already made a deal with the Louis family, right?" ”

Moore was a little unimpressed at first, but the more he listened, the more solemn his face became, and finally his right hand trembled slightly, and he almost spilled his glass on the ground. At this moment, he no longer dared to underestimate Rafford, this old man, as if he could see through people's hearts, was really terrifying. You must know that all this stems from Rafford's analysis, and his only reliance is on the situation. The transaction between the royal family and the Franks was very secretive, and even many in the Senate did not know about it, but such a secret thing was not hidden from Rafford. Putting down the wine glass, Moore stood up and saluted respectfully, "The Earl is really wise, since you have guessed, then I will not hide it, the royal family does have a deal with the Franks." The Senate also did not agree with the Lorraine Kingdom to turn to the Easterners, so the royal family reached an agreement with the Louis family. The Louis family would support the royal family to regain power, and all the royal family had to do was to ensure that South Lorraine would not fall to the East. ”

Rafford did not doubt Moore's words, and in fact it was not surprising that the royal family had made such a choice. Whether it is North Lorraine or South Lorraine, the red and white vineyard nobles who fall to the Orientals can guarantee their own interests, only the royal family, and the Orientals will inevitably be suppressed like never before in order to completely control the Kingdom of Lorraine. Therefore, every nobleman in the Kingdom of Lorraine can turn to the Easterners, but the royal family cannot. The eastern aristocracy led by Frederick and the Danube aristocracy were unreliable, and the strength of the blacksmith family was not enough, so they were picked and chosen, and only the Franks in the west were really worth relying on. The royal family is very correct in this move, but it must also be careful enough, leaking the slightest rumor, with the concerted efforts of the nobles of Southern Lorraine and Northern Lorraine, the first unlucky must be the royal family, who let Thurin City be sandwiched between North and South Lorraine? Of course, Raffle will not be moved by Moore's words, the royal family's control over South Lorraine is not very good, if you want to control South Lorraine, the first thing to deal with is the red grape nobles led by the Weiting family, this is probably Moore's intention, "Your Highness Moore, do you have any plans?" The thousands of lives of the Luke family cannot be ambiguous. ”

Rafford's words were unclear, but Moore still understood the meaning, this is to see the strength of the royal family. The strength is strong, so join forces to kill the Wei Ting family, control Merlin City, and slowly collect the red grape nobles, the strength is not enough, then thank you Bumin, where to go back and forth. Rafford's face was so pale, that no one could tell what he was thinking. Moore sat down again and continued in a faint voice, "The royal family has sent five thousand troops to ambush outside Merlin City, as long as the wind and snow stop, they can reach Merlin City. The Earl has lived in Merlin for a long time, and I think there is a way to open the gates. With the royal army, plus the Luke family and the Weilan family, Holnan's hasty response was bound to be defeated. ”

The army of 5,000 is a small number, the Kingdom of Lorraine is not a military power like the eastern aristocracy, the high-ranking royal family and the senate can gather more than 10,000 people at most, and half of the manpower can be taken out at once, which can definitely be regarded as a generous shot. Raffle didn't answer immediately, but squinted his eyes and carefully calculated, the real manpower that the Wei Ting family and the Red Grape family can use is about 7,000 people, the royal army is 5,000 people, and the Luke family and the Wei Lan family can also make up more than 2,000 people, and the strength of the two sides is about the same, but Huo Nan would not think of the ambition of the royal family, so the chance of this battle is still very good, when he opened his eyes, he suddenly shone brightly, Rafford stroked his beard and said with a faint smile, "Your Highness, rest assured, the north city gate can be opened at any time, as long as the royal family can abide by the agreement." , after the fact that the Luke family is going to become the lord of Merlin, and there can be no other Luke family in South Lorraine. ”

"Lord Earl, the Henry family will never break its promise, if the Weiting family is destroyed, the Luke family will dominate South Lorraine" Moore is young, but there is an indescribable old age, and the wine in the glass is drunk, showing a free and easy meaning.

About half an hour later, Moore quietly left Nanlin Manor wrapped in black skin, he was careful along the way, but all this still fell into the eyes of others. As he approached, Lovednov received news from his attendants, and he keenly felt that he had guessed correctly, and that under all this calm, there was a greater crisis. The spies who came to Merlin City were a group of outsiders, and they were not familiar with the affairs of the Lorraine Kingdom, and Luo Weidenov still didn't know who the man wrapped in black skin was, and he didn't know the identity of the other party, so how to deal with it? After thinking about it, he could only make a dangerous move, "You should know the guards who guarded Nanlin Manor at that time, and if you catch one of the guards secretly, you must find out the identity of the other party." ”

"Lord Luo Weide, isn't this a bit hasty, once we do it, our whereabouts can't be hidden" The attendant persuaded with a worried face, Luo Weidenov tightened his face and smiled coldly, "If you can't hide it, you won't hide it, I'll go see Royce tomorrow, it seems that I want to meet Hornan earlier, the situation in Merlin City is a bit dangerous." ”

With the order of Lovednov, the people outside quickly moved, and at dawn finally figured out the identity of the other party. Getting the news he wanted, Lovednov was not at all relaxed, but felt a little heavy. It was not Caron who ran to Nanlin Manor, let alone the nobles of South Lorraine, it turned out to be the harmless little prince Moore. Behind Moore stood the royal family, and no one knew what the little prince was planning, but it must have been a huge plan for Merlin City. What exactly is Moore going to do? Why dare you get involved in the affairs of South Lorraine? Lovidnov felt that he still knew too little about the Kingdom of Lorraine, and the limited information could not penetrate Moore's plan at all. Yes, Caron, why didn't Caron show up? Lovidnov suddenly seemed to understand something, Moore came, Caron did not, the most anxious people were not anxious, and the least anxious people were anxious, if there was a reasonable explanation, it could only be that Moore and Cuarón had already discussed. After dawn, the cold wind was less, but the snowflakes fell one after another, and the city of Merlin became a white city, and the goose feathers and snow flakes fell on the coats, and it took a long time to melt, and the pedestrians on the road were still sparse, and the vendors did not know where to hide the cats. Lovednov left the tavern and walked slowly towards the Varro estate.

Under the heavy snow, the Varro Manor looks even more beautiful, dotted with a little greenery, dotted with the quaint castle, as if you have come to a magical wonderland. Because Lovednov was really not dressed very well, and he was shivering with cold, the guards at the door directly regarded Lovednov as a homeless man on the street. The two guards held the hilts of their swords and reached out to push Rovetonov, "Where are the bandits, can you enter this place, why don't you get out of here?" ”
