Pitfall? Or is it a conspiracy?

This was the first thought that Count Tang had when he saw the secret letter. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

He had expected the critical illness of the Grand Duke of Murchid, and he was already in his sixties, and it was not surprising that he would suddenly die one day while falling asleep; What's more, the year before last, I was so stimulated that the white-haired person sent the black-haired person; Of course, the most important thing is that when he set out to fight in Dehebas last year, the Grand Duke handed over the military power to the Earl of Little Tang because he was 'unwell'......

But no matter how critically ill the Grand Duke was, as long as the Grand Duke was still awake, he could not have just let a knight come day and night to report the news to the Earl of Don - this was not the vast Central Plains, this was Ireland, it was a small island, and North Munster was next to Desmond!

Even if it is a slow walk, it will be a journey of six or seven days at most. Besides, since he was already sick, and he was so sick, according to the character of the Grand Duke, he should have called Count Tang over early to prepare just in case, how could he be in a hurry to send someone over now.

Yuan Fang, what do you think?

My lord, I think there must be a deception in it!

The knight of Alcoba replied seriously, and then Count Don Jr. was careless and laughed directly.

"What do you mean, Lord Earl? Could it be that Your Excellency, as your uncle, is now critically ill, and you don't have the slightest meaning of sadness, and you still have to gloat?! ”

Although the knight who delivered the letter was already tired, as soon as he saw Count Xiao Tang's performance like this, he immediately became furious and rebuked loudly. But his performance like this only ushered in the pitying eyes of Count Tang.

Such a simple-minded guy doesn't know how he can live to become a knight...... No, it should be said that it was because of his simple mind that he became a knight...... After all, simple-minded people are better in control.

In other words, this knight should be the last knight in the whole of North Munster to be loyal to the Archduke of Murchid, and the others are either betrayed or silent. Only this knight was simple-minded and was sent on this mission.

Thinking of this, Count Xiao Tang has no anger towards the simple-minded knight in front of him, and the bad guy is also loyal, and for a ruler, loyalty is the best quality, there is no one.

"It's my mistake, and I ask the knight to rest for a while, and I will now gather the soldiers in my territory, and the physicians who can heal the sick, and I will leave for North Munster tomorrow to meet His Excellency the Grand Duke."

The knight had wanted to urge the Count of Don to go now; But as soon as he came, his body was really tired and couldn't stand it now, and he was afraid that he would fall off the horse halfway when he set off directly. Second, Count Xiao Tang said that he wanted to bring a doctor, although eighty percent is useless, but this is also a little bit of people's heart, why do you refuse?

It's just a day, what's going on.

Thinking so, the knight agreed, and went to the resting place under the guidance of the servant. As soon as the knight left, Count Don Jr. immediately summoned the insider.

"The letter is indeed a forgery."

Insideris poured the whole letter several times, and even sniffed it with his nose, licked it with his mouth, and then put the paper on the candle and burned it, and then said with great certainty: "Although the handwriting is the handwriting of the Grand Duke, His Excellency the Grand Duke likes sweets, and if this letter is written by the Grand Duke, there will definitely be a little sweetness left on it." Of course, it is not possible to confirm this alone, but the letter written by the Grand Duke himself must have a dark shadow on it, and if it is burned with a candle, it will show the image of the Grand Duke's family crest, which is not on this letter. ”

"But it could also be because the matter was urgent, and the Grand Duke didn't have time to print it."

Having the heart to find out the insider, Earl Tang said deliberately.

"Yes, but please note that the handwriting of this letter is steady, and there is no sign of panic or trembling, which means that the person who wrote this letter is still very sober, and if it was written by the Grand Duke himself, he would definitely have the family coat of arms printed on it."

"Not bad, not bad."

Count Don praised that Insider Liss has been in charge of Desmond's spy organization for almost two years, and he has not achieved anything, and even the last incident is an afterthought, and some people have a lot of complaints about him, now let him show his skills, so as to block the mouths of some people.

"Thank you, sir, for the compliment."

Insider Leith heard Count Tang Jr. say this, and quickly bowed, and then stood quietly aside. After all, he is still a spy with such a lowly status, and there is no way to compare with a noble knight.

However, Count Don Jr. had a different view.

"Maybe it's time to pay attention to the work of spying...... There are always two or three kittens like this, even Desmond can't cover them completely, and they have to be sent to other places, no wonder Insider Liss is not much different from a blind man, train two more spies, and in the future, whether it is in the territory or elsewhere, I can receive the news as soon as possible......"

Note, however, that this is not to say that Count Don Jr. is going to elevate his status as a spy. Not to mention whether the original aristocratic class is willing to do this, the low status of the spies is also good for Count Xiao Tang - only because of the low status, the spies will be more desperate, after all, a cheap life is not worth much, but when have you ever seen a nobleman whose life is precious, and he will die when he says he will die?

"Lord Earl, since this is a fake letter, should we still go?"

At this time, the knight of Alcoba asked, and the other knights also pricked up their ears, waiting for the judgment of Count Don Jr.

In fact, in their hearts, they hoped that Count Don would go.

After all, the Grand Duke is critically ill, as I said earlier, eighty percent is true, otherwise he would not be able to deceive the knight just now, although it will definitely be dangerous to go like this, but as long as he lives, what is there no danger? Even if you sit at home, you may have a meteor falling!

Wealth and danger are sought! What's more, this is not wealth, this is the status above ten thousand people, as long as you win the position of the Grand Duke, there is only one last step left from the glorious throne......

"No, we still have to find out who set up this conspiracy, whether it is the Grand Duke himself, or his second son, or Duke Eddard, or the other counts or something, we must be prepared."

Count Tang shook his head, and then shouted, "Insider, tell them about the current situation."

"Yes, sir."

The insider who had just gotten into the shadows quickly stood up again, and it was for this reason that he didn't leave, and it was useful for Earl Don Jr. to keep him.

"According to the report of our spies, ten days ago, we have personally seen Duke Ed personally go to Ulster with soldiers, due to the lack of spies, we have no news of the Northern Earl Alliance, but since Duke Ed has already done it himself, then presumably they should also be in Ulster."

The knights nodded, thinking that Insider Lis's conjecture was quite reliable, soldier against soldier king against king, with the grudge between Duke Ed and the Northern Earl Alliance, they didn't fight you to the death.

"In addition, there are several nearby counts, the Earl of Kildel and the Earl of Osoruny are currently quite close, and the two have a tendency to unite, but now the two Counts are still holding a banquet to celebrate the end of Lent. The Earl of Leinster is said to be inspecting the country, and it is not clear where he is, but as for the Earl of Ormond......"

Speaking of this, Insider Liss obviously hesitated, because the next words might be a little rebellious, but under the eyes of Count Xiao Tang's 'little black house', he immediately fought a cold war and did not dare to hesitate.

"The last time I heard from Earl Ormond was half a year ago...... It was also the last public appearance of Earl Ormond, and since then, Count Ormond has not appeared again at the Battle of Dehebas, other prayers, and banquets...... Therefore, the subordinates suspect ......"

Shocked!

However, even if you think it's ridiculous, you can't say that the insider is groundless, after all, as an earl, you can understand that you don't show up for a month, and you can accept it if you don't show up for two months. But if you don't show up for half a year, this has to make people wonder if the count still exists.

However, this also reflects from the side that Earl Ormond usually has no sense of existence, and he has not shown up in the territory for half a year, but everything is as usual, either his knights are loyal and incredible, or ...... It's someone who manages it for him.

"Interesting, really interesting."

Count Don touched his chin, the matter is now very clear, the surrounding dukes and counts are all busy, the only Earl Ormond has disappeared, then there is only one left, but the truth is incredible, and it is only him-it's you, Prince Dialmat!

Speaking of which, the second son of the Grand Duke of Mulchid, it is estimated that many people have forgotten about him, right?

But I would like to remind you that it is best to recall him now, because he was the first person I described as 'sinister and vicious'.

When was there no news of him? After the defeat of Duke Ed in the Second Battle of Desmond, Mulchid became the uncle of the Earl of Don Jr., and the second prince disappeared, thinking that he would never be seen again...... Unexpectedly, he has made a big news now.

Therefore, the Grand Duke of Mulchid looked down on his second son, who was good at plotting, and now he suffered a big loss.

"Knights of Alcoba! Gather the soldiers! We're ready to go! ”

However, just as the Grand Duke commented on his second son, the conspiracy is just a conspiracy in the final analysis, and only the conspiracy will not succeed! With the right fit, with the odd supplement, dignified, brilliant atmosphere, no matter how much Prince Diarmat plays tricks, I just need A to go over!

"Your will, Lord Count."

The Knight of Alcoba immediately got down on one knee and replied loudly.

"Also, Priest Philip, I ask you to give every earl of Ireland - not the war-fighting Duke of Eddard and the Union of Northern Earls - but every other earl, including the missing Earl of Ormond, to write to them, inviting them to come to North Munster in the name of the League to 'bear witness' for me."

"Everything is at your command."

Priest Philip naturally had no objections, and immediately obeyed the order, Count Tang nodded with satisfaction, and then looked at the many knights kneeling in front of him, and couldn't help but feel heroic, Top Gun!

"Although the position of the Grand Duke is not what I want to force, but since you are in my way and want to snatch what belongs to me, then I will never spare you anymore!"

Ps: I had a day of class today and my state was a bit bad, so ...... Please bear with me, tomorrow I will make up for what I owe today.
