Several housekeepers who took the lead and knelt, lowered their heads, and used their eyes at each other, probably wanting to get the benefits of taking advantage of the chaos, but also fearing the emperor of the empire, everyone knows that the grand duke and the emperor are now in the stage of war, if the emperor's soldiers and horses come in in the future, won't the money be wasted? I'm afraid I have to worry about my life.

"Let me ask again, is there anyone willing to buy real estate? Now it's so cheap that even tenant farmers can afford it. In addition to the confiscated property used as the holy land, there are many inferior farmlands, ponds, woodlands, marshes and lakes, although they are inferior, but they can be irrigated by water, and where they can produce good food, it is definitely a bargain, almost a gift from the Grand Duke. The heraldic officer continued to ask.

But the crowd whispered suspicions, and no one dared to express anything, and the whole scene was in a cloud of gloomy suspicion. Grand Duke Gawain, who was also sitting next to the heraldic officer, had a stern and serious expression like the iron helmet and armor on his body, "What are you afraid of? Take a bag of copper Seleucid coins, or a little Seriqua or Byzanti, and a large swamp will be yours, drained of water, and planted with some buckwheat or oats, and you will be able to eat it at once, and sell it for money. The property rights of the land are also yours, and if you have less land, you can also go to the Shengfeng estate to work and share the profits, and the real estate of me and the princess in purple is intensive labor, and the real estate you buy is divided and intensively cultivated, how good. ”

After the Grand Duke's words were spoken, the ownerless stewards and tenant farmers continued to talk in whispers, and most of them still looked worried and unconvinced. Eventually, an old tenant farmer gritted his teeth and walked out of the crowd on his knees. In front of Gawain and the heraldic officer, he took out a bag of copper coins. Anderodat took it, and the old tenant farmer hurried to his tiptoes. Trepidation, but Androdart quickly signed the drawn title deed, and then stamped it with the Grand Duke's seal, "The cultivated land with the orchard at the foot of the mountain is yours, and you can take your family to take it over tomorrow." This year's harvest is all yours, but don't forget that when it's the January season, you will pay the taxes and food. They were sent to the local Reformist Church's hall. ”

After saying that, the heraldic officer quickly sent the title deed to the old tenant farmer's arms, "See no, it's so convenient." Gawain, who held the whip in his hand, said aloud to the crowd, "Many of you have been working on this land before, and are very familiar with the geography, especially the stewards of Jinat, who are good at farming. Therefore, I will divide the land of the rebel party to you cheaply, and after the boundaries of the land have been established, I will say that it is yours and it is yours. The title deed with my seal is the evidence. ”

"What if the emperor comes?" Eventually, a couple of cautious housekeepers asked.

"This group of rebels had the same idea as you, but they were ecstatic. But you are worried, and now you have seen the fate of this group of people. Gawain finished. Whip raised, against the canopy of the miserable wind. Said the dangling corpse that hanged himself.

The butlers looked at this terrifying and excited scene, and spat a few times, "If this group of people doesn't die, we won't be able to become new strengths."

"That's right, the days when bloodline and imperial credentials were the norm is over, and now everything in this land has to be done by the seal and the horse's hooves of the Grand Duke." Gawain seemed to see through their thoughts, and continued.

Then he stood up with his tall body, inserted the whip back into his belt, and said impatiently, "My military strength will only stay here for one day, and my heraldic officer will immediately accompany me to deal with military affairs, so this kind of good thing does not last long, I hate people who hesitate to retreat in everything, and such a person cannot grasp any opportunity in front of his eyes." Then, Goliath brought over Quicksilver, Gawain stepped over and turned over, the beautiful silver-white hair of the war horse, erected in the cold wind of late autumn and early winter, he looked at the mountain fort that was also trembling on the top of the mountain, there were more than three hundred in it still holding on to hope, including the two Kallegos brothers, the rebels were holding on, and couldn't help laughing twice, "Order, leave the Guardian Brigade to continue the siege, Branas did well this time, and the rest of the comrades of the Red Hand Brigade will follow me out of the Mut River Valley." ”

In the vast valley of Anatolia, birds were circling and flying, and Alexios, surrounded by high-ranking generals and guards, was sitting on a stone covered with purple silk, flanked by the banner of the dragon and the eagle, the emperor's horses, bows and arrows, and twin swords, guarded by loyal eunuch servants, leaned against the edge of the stones, and in the valley on the right, the soldiers formed columns, carefully guarding the baggage wagons, and carefully explored the way.

"Gawain has returned to defeat the rebels in the Mut Valley? Damn, what the hell is Tarsus doing" Alexios was indignant, holding the letter from the front in his hand.

"The situation over there is also very unoptimistic, although we have taken Tarsus, but the Cilician Interway is still under the control of Gawain and Baldwin, Harold and Tetisius are divided, and the latter is still in danger of being surrounded." Holding the newly picked letter, Yagfi reported the situation to the emperor.

"Is the timing delayed?" The Emperor could not help muttering to himself, "But it was far from time to give up, so he told John to keep the Danish pilgrims in order, and then join me with his men and horses." Advancing to the valley of the Mutter River, I don't believe that as long as Gawain confronts me head-on, I will not be able to defeat him? ”

The Emperor's insistence left no room for the many generals to be left to do so, and the army continued to march through the valley for several days, until the scouts in front of them received news that Gawain's brigade had galloped to the Miliosepharon Pass between the mountains of Konya and Isuria.

At the same time, Harold also brought 5,000 soldiers and horses to gather with the emperor, and in the rugged land of Miliosepharon, which was full of deep valleys and dense forests, it was difficult for the 20,000 imperial troops to attack, and they could only camp in the east and west, and confront the Red Hand Brigade on the high hills and passes.

"Your Majesty, why do you doubt my loyalty, and not only claim the city of Tarsus, but also incite a rebellion in Genat in my domain?" On the rugged slopes of the mountain, Gawain rode a silver-white war horse and cried out angrily to Alexios, who stood in the distance.

"Seleucia, Cilicia, where is not the territory of the empire? actually uttered such wild words, a barbarian is a barbarian. The Emperor also grasped the hilt of his sword, and replied angrily, his voice wafting throughout the valley, "Now I have an army of 50,000 and am about to break the pass, and if you surrender now, Gawain, I will only castrate you and throw you into the dungeon, and I will save your body." ”

"Your Majesty, I have returned from Antioch to receive the Danish pilgrims, and now the besiegers of that city are short of food and clothing, and the besieging personnel and equipment are also suffering from it, and everyone is begging for the help of His Majesty's army, and His Majesty is only thinking of following behind and seizing the land, so it is embarrassing, right? It also does not reflect the integrity and majesty of His Majesty. Gawain raised his hand and continued, making Alexios' face red. (To be continued.) )
