Chapter 57: Saan's Weakness
There was a rush of chickens and dogs in the courtyard because of Carolan's sudden sense of urgency, and it was not long before a somewhat lazy procession set off from Klose Manor for Mirror Lake. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
"Hey, I think I'm having a little convulsion." Caroline rode on her horse and looked at the soldiers behind her, who were still a little awake, and scratched her head helplessly, regretting her sudden convulsions; After all, this is not a full-time soldier in the future 21st century, and the soldiers of this era cannot have the combat qualities of the future soldier. Especially yesterday, I guess everyone was quite happy, so today it looks a little listless.
“。。。 Not. Robert! Caroline pondered for a moment and decided to make up for her brain pumping.
"Yes, Master Caroland." I guess I didn't expect Carolan to call him suddenly, and Robert, who was a little snoring, took a few breaths to react.
“。。。。 Looking at your status, I'm a little worried about my safety on the road. Carolan looked at Robert's confused eyes helplessly, and even her overly sensitive vision made Carolan see that Robert followed the team out without washing his face, because he could clearly see that there were still some unknown objects in the corners of Robert's eyes that had not been wiped clean.
Because Carolan added a lot of his own understanding of warriors when he built this guard, for example, Carolan required all soldiers to wear uniform smocks during duty, soldiers must shave their facial beards, and those whose hair was too long could not be shaved short due to custom must also be tied up, and even Carolan also made strict rules about the standard equipment of each warrior, strictly prohibiting soldiers from selling the equipment rationed to them by Carolan without permission, and so on, A series of strict rules of discipline made Robert and his wife bitter when they were first implemented, but for the sake of Carolan's high salary and the rising prestige of the Klose family, the soldiers of the guard gritted their teeth and persevered. Not to mention the strict requirements of this series of regulations, Carolan's guard really has a bit of a strong army at some point, so much so that Heinrich, who has been keeping an eye on the development of Carolan's guard, tried to imitate some of Carolan's orders to demand the warriors under the jurisdiction of the Klose family.
“。。。 You tell the fighters to speed up and rush to Mirror Lake today, and all the wages for today will be tripled. Caroline originally wanted to reprimand Robert for his inappropriate personal hygiene, but she thought that she was the first to have a convulsion today, so she left such a statement after being speechless for a while.
"Yes!" Robert immediately cheered up after hearing Carolan's words, you must know that their salary is very high, let alone get up a little early if it triples today, it will be no problem if they don't sleep.
Soon, as the order was delivered, the guards who followed Carolan immediately woke up from their half-asleep state. The power of money is indeed great, and after hearing the order conveyed by Robert, the soldiers of the guard not only came up in spirit, but even the speed of the march was greatly improved.
Caroline smiled helplessly after feeling the change of the soldiers behind her, and she didn't know what to say, she was also addicted to smashing people with money.
As the team approached Mirror Lake, there were more people on both sides of the road, and the farmers were almost up to get ready for a new day, but Caroline didn't know why she had been feeling that something was wrong since the soldiers had been cheering up and hurrying away.
"Where the hell is it?" Caroline had nothing to do anyway, so she just fought with herself, trying to figure out what she felt was wrong.
"Alaala, don't learn my moves." At this time, Caroline's team passed by a village, and two children were playing at the entrance of the village, and the younger boy was learning the actions of the older child, which made the older child very irritable.
"That's right! It's footsteps! Caroline naturally noticed the two cheerful children, and watching the synchronized footsteps between the two of them, Carolan's mind flashed with inspiration, and she knew what it was that made her feel incongruous.
"Robert !!!" Carolan did as soon as she thought of it, and immediately shouted for her number one bodyguard, Robert, to come over and listen to the instructions.
"Here!" It has to be said that Robert can be said to be a perfect object when it comes to listening to instructions.
"I have a new idea! You make them so ... Every time Carolan said that he had a new idea, Robert always felt a chill in his heart, because his master could toss new tricks every time, and as the leader of Caroline's private army, Robert had no right to refuse all Carolan's orders that did not hurt the fundamentals.
Robert was a very good executor, and soon, the whole guard was lined up in two rows according to Caroline's intentions, and then began to run in unison according to Robert's "one-two-one" command.
"Boom." Don't you say it, after listening to Robert's slogan and starting to run, the momentum of the whole team instantly went to a higher level, Carolan secretly gave herself a thumbs up in her heart, fortunately, when the guards were selected, they all picked the second sons and illegitimate sons of the Wuxun aristocratic family, although this made the salary of the Carolan guards a lot higher, but the quality of the guards came up at once, if it was like the new army that went to watch last time, this unison run had to immediately become a unicorn rush.
Caroline secretly praised her foresight while planning how to toss further. Oh, it's not to train your own guards, after all, war is coming, and the stronger your own henchmen, the better.
Soon, Mirror Lake arrived.
"Wow," Caroline saw from afar the sprawling construction site next to Mirror Lake.
The entire Mirror Lake Shores have become completely different from the last time Carolan arrived, and the Klose family has turned the entire Mirror Lake Shores into a huge construction site. Along the river that flows into Mirror Lake, Klose's workers have built patches of rudimentary residential areas where people can be seen coming and going from the site.
In contrast to the humble buildings for slaves and workers on the site, there are two places where the new buildings on the shores of Mirror Lake stand out. One is a wooden fort built on the edge of the site, which is undoubtedly built for Carolan and the future managers of the estate; The other place is a workshop built on the highest part of the Mirror Lake, not only have several high earthen walls built around this workshop, but Carolan can see that there are a lot of soldiers deployed near the workshop, this must be the brown sugar workshop, it can be seen that Michael and Herman are actually very nervous about this workshop.
Speaking of which, Carolan is really not a qualified owner, it seems that the brown sugar workshop has been built for a long time, and Carolan is actually the first time to come here.
The arrival of Carolan's group was quickly discovered by the guards on the construction site, and after a commotion, a group of people rushed over from the brown sugar workshop, and Caroline easily saw that the person who was the top person of the Klose family in Mirror Lake that day: Old Tim.
"Hmm, straight out of the workshop? Does Herman really value this place? Just let old Tim work in the workshop? Caroline saw the direction in which old Tim had come out, and funnily touched her chin and glanced at the building that old Tim had come out of, and then pulled the reins to meet him.
"Good day, Master Carolan." After joining Carolan's group, Old Tim first dismounted and bowed respectfully.
"That's it! Old Tim don't talk nonsense, take me around here quickly, and then I asked you to gather all the stewards in the realm to come here for a meeting today yesterday, did you inform me? Caroline looked at the old man of the Klose family and got down to business. Old Tim is the old man of the Klose family for generations, and there is nothing to be polite to him, starting with Old Tim's grandfather, every hair of all the people in their family belongs to the private property of the Klose family.
"Eh, they're all here, I called them all here early in the morning, and they're all waiting for you in your new hall. Master Herman said that no one was allowed to go to the workshop without orders from the adults, so old Tim and I told them to wait in the hall! Old Tim laughed when he heard Carolan's unkind words. For people like him, Carolan is the best encouragement if she doesn't meet him.
"Not in the workshop? Okay, you can show me around here first, let them wait first, I just happen to have another guest waiting for me. After Carolan heard Old Tim's cautious arrangement, she didn't rush it, and simply asked Old Tim to take her around the new Mirror Lake Manor first, and it was just right to dry Sa'an and them, and Sa'an in the province had some kind of thoughts.
"Good!" Old Tim was naturally reluctant, and gladly walked to Carolan's horse and led the horse for Caroline.
"Let's go~ Let me see the results of your work!" When Caroline saw Old Tim's inquiring eyes, she smiled and asked Old Tim to lead the way.
················································································
At the same time, the atmosphere in the hall of Mirror Lake Manor was very heavy, and Sa'an could be seen pacing back and forth in the hall irritably. Now there are many iris stewards standing or sitting along the walls in the hall, but Sa'an is the only one who dares to walk around the hall alone and lose his temper, from this point of view, Caroline is indeed right to be wary of Sa'an, it can be seen that Sa'an is indeed covering the sky with one hand in Iris, and the other stewards are very afraid of him.
"Damn what kind of trick Caroline is playing again! What time is it? Don't you have to work! When noon came, Sa'an, who had found that Caroline had not yet arrived, finally went berserk.
"What? Steward Saan, do you have anything else to do today? Sa'an shouted as if before she could finish when Caroline's voice came from outside the living room door.
“!” As soon as Saan realized that Carolan had arrived, two teams of warriors burst in through the doorway, and then quickly took control of the entire hall along the walls, keeping an eye on all the dead spots.
"This ,,," All the stewards in the hall were stunned by this sudden situation, and no one knew what Caroline was trying to do with such a big formation.
"Hah!" When the entire hall was under the control of the guards, all the warriors suddenly drew their weapons and shouted in unison, pointing their weapons at Sa'an.
"Sa'an, you'd better tell us what you just shouted!" At this time, old Tim's angry voice came from the door, and as soon as the words fell, old Tim rushed in.
"I ,,, me, I..." Saan was stunned by this situation, and he only shouted in a moment of irritability, knowing that since the victory of the Klose family was decided, Herman was officially the commander of the Eastern Crusade. Now the prestige of the Klose family is in full swing, not to mention that Saan doesn't dare to do anything, even the Goethe family in the north immediately removed the post that had been stationed on the north shore of the mirror lake, and prepared a large gift for the Klose family yesterday. What's more, Otto's situation is not very comfortable now, so Saan has also been intimidated by the people on Hedwig's side several times.
So Sa'an was so frightened that he couldn't even speak clearly.
"Alright, old Tim, I think the San steward is just in a hurry." After seeing enough of Sa'an's hurried face, Caroline finally spoke slowly.
"If Sa'an has something to do, go back first, I originally said that because I was going to follow my father on the expedition to Blaneybell, I came here today to introduce you to the future chief steward of the entire Mirror Lake Manor and Iris Manor." Carolan pretended to be considerate and comforted Sa'an, and then threw a large bomb as if he was not inadvertent.
"Ah, the chief steward? Who? Saan looked at Carolan with a malicious smile on his face, and the feeling of uneasiness grew stronger.
"Hahahaha, don't say it, Sa'an is in charge, she's your old acquaintance." Caroline's smile grew brighter and brighter, for he could already see the carriage approaching in the distance.
"Huh? Who? As soon as Saan finished speaking, he followed Caroline's line of sight and saw the carriage as well, and sure enough, as Carolan said, the man was very familiar to him, because the carriage belonged to Saan's sister: Penny.
