If the palace of Memle, which lurks in the darkness in the middle of the night, is like a giant spider's nest, then Henry the Bird-Catcher must be the greatest spider mother, who observes his kingdom in the depths of this palace like a spider looking at its own web, and then expands his territory through intrigue and war; Henry was a great monarch, and since his accession to the throne he has defeated many enemies in the land, such as Robert, the rival king of West Francia, the Duke of Bavaria, the Czech Grand Duke, and the last monarch of the Carolingian family; After years of hard work, the ancient land under his feet, a land that had been ruled by the Romans and the Franks but never conquered, finally surrendered to his scepter, which was his proudest achievement. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 But Henry, who had just been woken up in the middle of the night by the courtiers, now felt that his authority had been challenged, and this was the biggest question about the results of his more than ten years of conscientious governance of the country!

"Bang... Henry angrily threw the glass of water handed by the attendant to the ground, and regardless of the face of Prince Otto, who walked in quickly from the side door, he loudly questioned one of the courtiers who was kneeling on the ground: "Michael! Just now, a group of Assassins had seriously injured Herman outside the city of Memleben! A group of assassins who can seriously injure Herman! There are even more than a hundred slave warriors in the forest less than three hours away! Kindness? My dear intelligence chief! What do you have to say? Are you going to wait until the next time they kill me in my bedroom? Yes! ”

Michael fell to his knees and trembled, and did not dare to say a word when the cup that Henry had dropped on his head and his face was bleeding; He was an old man who had been with Henry since he was still Duke of Saxony, and he could see that his king was really furious this time; What happened today was theoretically his responsibility, but he was also helpless, and the three waves of assassins who appeared tonight were obviously supported by powerful forces behind them; And although Henry's authority is growing, the major nobles dare not resist the authority of the bird catcher, but the black hands behind them contain them, Henry's subordinates are never soft, Henry and his subordinates' courtiers are indeed unimpeded in the land of Saxony, and now Swabia may be added, but in other territories there is no shortage of nobles who disobey their administrative orders.

In recent years, in particular, Henry's attention had been focused on the Magyars and the pagans east of the Elbe, and the nobles who had been greatly deprived of pressure had become even more rampant; Originally, he thought that those nobles were just some old methods of petty fighting, and it would be good to wait until he was busy for a while to come back and clean up; He didn't expect that this group of nobles would be so mad that even Herman and his sons dared to assassinate him, and even kept private soldiers near Memleben. "What a bunch of crazy people,,, what the hell are they trying to do!" Michael frantically greeted the nobles who were manipulating these things behind his back; But he couldn't tell Henry about these reasons, and Michael knew Henry very well that as long as he dared to tell Henry what he was thinking, the first thing Henry, who had always been strict with his subordinates, would do was to remove him and send himself to the front line of the battle against the Magyars. "O God, come and save me." Michael prayed in his heart.

Perhaps God, who lives high in heaven, really heard Michael pray, and a voice sounded like heaven in Michael's ears: "Father, don't be angry, you know that you can't blame Michael for this; After all, there are too many people who resist Uncle Michael's cuties in the kingdom, and if you can use authority to make them submit, then Uncle Michael will probably have to try it with his flesh? "Prince Otto came to the hall and observed for a long time, and then found a familiar courtier to figure out the situation and then opened his mouth to relieve Michael of the siege, after all, Michael is also an elder who watched him grow up, and he can't just watch him kneel." And you know, Uncle Michael has been putting all his energy into the east lately, after all, he is not a genius like me who can think of everything~ Oh hahahaha" Otto said, his cynical tone coming out again.

"Hmph." Glaring at Michael fiercely, Henry finally found himself under the stairs; In fact, he knew very well in his heart that he would ultimately blame himself for this matter, because he didn't want to force those noble dogs to jump off the wall in a hurry, so he asked Michael to send all his spies abroad to inquire about the news; He didn't want to use this matter to embarrass his loyal subordinate, but he couldn't let Michael go lightly, otherwise how would he explain to the Herman family; He knew that the temper of the Klose family was not easy to deal with; "Damn Michael, why don't you get down down and clean up the rats in Memleben, I'm sure you've got a detailed plan!" I don't want to sleep unsteadily; And tonight's thing, all those bastards who have to do with the assassins, I'm going to see their bodies hanging on the walls tomorrow! Henry yelled at Michael and told him to get out of here and deal with the aftermath of tonight's events.

Looking at Michael as he crawled out, Otto raised his eyebrows and signaled that the other courtiers could go down and rest. He didn't leave with the courtiers who were retreating one after another, but continued to chat with his father to appease his father's uneasy emotions, he knew that his father must be very anxious tonight, and it was really bad to be considered to have been domesticated to the point where he would only sell cuteness and beg for pets.

After a short chat, Henry the Bird Catcher quickly got rid of his negative emotions. "Otto, you will pick something from my storehouse to-morrow to comfort Herman, who must have suffered a great deal this time, and he is old; If it weren't for the fact that his identity is different now, I really want to see Herman's face, last time he said that he was old, he still didn't admit it, hahahaha. After seeing Herman, rush back, tomorrow the Archbishop of Mainz will bring the bishops of Lorraine to the palace, and you will attend. Henry, who was alone with his son, looked less like an eloquent king, but more like an ordinary old father.

Otto nodded to indicate that he understood, and then said as if remembering something: "I'll take the oriental porcelain that the Venetian merchant sent me last time, and it is said that Aunt Canossa likes this very much." By the way, father, you said we were going to give Caroline something, he has been so unlucky lately. ”

"Is this" Henry pondered, the compensation for Carolan really had to be planned well, after all, that child himself had grown up, and now he was indeed a little reluctant to bear so much for Otto. "Well, don't you have some territory outside the city, the one connected to Michael, you two each set aside a piece to make up a territory and give it to Carolan, after all, he also lost his inheritance for you." After arranging the compensation for Carolan, Henry turned and walked to his room, in fact, when he made fun of Herman just now, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart that he was also entering his twilight years. If he really could, he really wanted to live another 500 years. ”

Hearing Henry's sigh, Otto opened his mouth to say something, but in the end he didn't say it, shook his head, and Otto also walked out of the hall to rest, tomorrow is another hurried day.

?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????

Caroline had been harassed by sleepiness on the way home, and the great joy and sorrow was really very physically exhausting; After being sure that she was completely safe, Lisa was so sleepy that she couldn't walk at all, so Caroline had to ask Werner to arrange for a strong guard to carry Lisa on her back; Looking at Lisa, who was sleeping on the Guard, Caroline was thinking about her future.

After arranging for the guards to work on the periphery, Werner laughed and walked up to Carolan, then slapped Carolan on the shoulder with a wicked grin. "That's right, boy, so many people have come to hunt you down and let you survive, with this experience, you can also be regarded as a qualified warrior, and you deserve to have the blood of our Salian people, that is, excellent." Werner quipped.

"It's kind of saying this to my old man." Carolan complained directly about Werner according to the pattern of getting along with Werner in her memory. Sure enough, as soon as he heard that Caroline had moved out of his majestic father, Werner was directly instigated; "It's okay to mention what that guy who always has a straight face is doing, what a bad mood; By the way, Conrad misses you very much, and now that you're well, I'll go see him. ”

It took Caroline a moment to connect the over-energetic bear child in her memory with the future son-in-law of Otto, Duke of Lorraine, before she came back to her senses and replied to Werner: "Huh? Good, good, good,"

The grinning Werner didn't notice Caroline's strange expression, and he continued to follow his thoughts: "By the way, do you have a plan for what you will do in the future?" You Klose have too few family members, and it seems that your father has no intention of letting you go to the convent, and has always wanted to arrange a good family affair for you; But if you want me to say that you might as well come to me, I will transfer Speyer to you, and you will be able to manage it well. ”

"Well, this is up to my father, after all, he must have his own ideas." Caroline couldn't directly refuse his cousin's kindness, and he didn't know if it was because the Salian family, as a local nobleman, needed an ally close to the core of the palace or if it was really for his own good because of blood relations, but he could feel that this cousin should really be good for himself.

"Well, you think about it; But there's something you have to arrange quickly, our old man likes you to play that football lately, when do we have a game, it's really fun to play. Timo Werner couldn't wait to get Carolan to come to the Klose family and the Sally family football club.

"Well, it's okay, just three days later. When the time comes, I'm going to see Kourad. I'll have our football captain, Carré, go to you and find out the time and place. ”

"Okay, Carré! When the time comes, let you learn the skills of our Sallian boy," Werner smiled confidently. Caroline was devastated by the bad breath that came with his smile. "Cousin, can you stop laughing." Caroline couldn't stand the strange smell and licked her face to discuss with Werner. "Don't you know that this is a real Germanic man, you can't be as straight as your father. Come, I'm going to talk to you. Little Carolan, I won't agree to such an unreasonable request. Timo Werner reached over Carolan and was ready to talk to her about her smile. It doesn't matter that he has been hit by his bad breath and fox smell, and he is about to faint, so Carolan didn't listen to it.

The rest of the road was like hell for Caroline, and he roared in his heart: "It's good to have another group of people hunt me down, I'd rather die than be with this thing!" "But reality doesn't always go your way, and no one dares to provoke this team, which seems to be armed to the teeth, until Klose's doorstep; Carolan can only YY her own escape in the inner play.

After hugging Werner and saying goodbye, Carolan was hugged tightly by Lady Canossa, who had already run wildly; Listening to the slightly nervous whispered prayer of Lady Canossa, who had been refusing to let go, Caroline felt her eyes wet; "Okay, Mom, I'm back safely, I promise you to go out with Rudolph in the future, he's so strong, even a dozen big bears will be beaten away by him." Carolan patted Lady Canossa on the back and coaxed. It was a long time before Caroline came out of Lady Canossa's arms, and then took Lady Canossa's hand, which was still touching her tears, into the hall. Then it was shrouded in a great shadow that accompanied the stenking of foxes; "My dear brother, you're finally back! When my father finds out who did it, I'll immediately go and skin them alive to give you a breath!" Rudolph also hugged Carolan.

"! How is Rudolph's body odor heavier! Then Caroline was stunned by Rudolph's strong smell, and in an instant the chickens and dogs jumped in the hall!
