Night!

The moon is high in the sky.

Bernie led the villagers to the edge of Count Banklow's realm.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

Bernie turned around, and the whole village was full of men, women, and children, a huge team. Many villagers were driving cattle, sheep and carts.

Ahead is the territory of the Count of Banklow, everyone is safe.

"Take a break, we'll go later!" Bernie announced.

So everyone looked for a place to rest.

Some children fell asleep in their mother's arms, while the mother sat on the ox cart and the father was in charge of driving the cart.

"Bernie, the tax collector who came in the afternoon didn't say that there was a need for forced military service and taxes!" said a villager, sitting down.

"Yes, he said that in three days all the villagers will go to Crag Rock City, and there is the most important decree to be announced in public. There was a tree at the gate of the city gate, and whoever carried the tree to the gate of the castle of the Earl was rewarded with a golden dragon. "Bernie, you are well-informed, and you are a frequent visitor to the nobles' homes, and tell me what do you mean by Count Gavin?"

"Fake!" Bernie said flatly.

"The decree issued by Count Gavin will not be false. ”

"The reputation of the Westerling family has rotten, and they themselves have become poorer and poorer day by day, how can they reward you with a golden dragon? Everyone, the Great Demon Demon Mountain has entered the Rock City, big brothers and sisters, now it is the Magic Mountain that has the final say, the Westerling family has fallen, Jenny Xiaojie is such a beautiful person, she actually married the Demon Mountain, tsk, Xiaojie is pitiful!"

"I've heard that Duke Tywin gave the marriage, and Earl Gavin can't help it. ”

"Hey. Bernie, I heard that the Magic Mountain thing is so big, I don't know if it's true. ”

"Magic Mountain is not a human, he is a humanoid beast, do you say it is true. Bernie took a few sips and said, "Let's go, keep walking." Turning over the hillside in front, it is the boundary of the Count of Banklow, I know the earl, I keep you have land, there are mines, there are a few handfuls of jìnǚ. ”

The villagers burst into laughter, and the women cursed Bernie for cutting off his children.

The procession had just crossed the hillside under the bright light of the moon and entered the territory of Count Banclo, when a myriad of torches suddenly lit up in front of them, and a well-armored general rode out of the woods.

Bernie and the villagers were shocked, and the timid villagers ran away.

Bernie fixed his eyes on a banner behind the general, which was a bull.

He was immediately overjoyed, and shouted, "Don't be afraid, everyone, it's the banner of Count Banklow." ”

The general wore a helmet and lowered his mask, so that no one could see his face. Behind him, there were not many of them, a total of twenty horsemen.

"Go back, this road doesn't work. The general said.

Bernie ran up happily: "General, I'm Bernie, and I'm very familiar with Count Banklow." You must have seen my performance at the earl's house, and I was the one who learned all kinds of birds and beasts. ”

"Get out!" shouted the general, his hand on the hilt of his sword, "if you don't want to die, go back, there is no way." ”

"General?" Bernie wanted to say.

Choke!

The general unsheathed his sword and shouted, "No one of the people of the Westerling family's territory can pass through this road. Even if you enter the territory of Count Banklow, the Count will not take you in. I advise you to go back to the village and not to trouble me here. ”

Bernie and the villagers look at each other!

They faced the long sword, who would dare to step forward.

That evening, Bernie and the villagers had to return to the village, and Bernie and the other two young villagers went on a longer journey, and the other counts also guarded the road and were not allowed to cross the border. Even if the villagers cross the border, they will be driven back.

*

Three days passed in the blink of an eye.

All the people of the land who returned, although their hearts were terrified, it was strange that when they found it difficult to escape, once they returned to the village, their hearts of nostalgia suddenly rose, and it was very rare that none of them escaped.

The wind of rumors began to brake, and some villagers suspected that these rumors were not from the Westerling family, and upon closer inspection, they did not know who said it.

Everyone had received a decree from the Earl of Westerling himself, and it was on the village sign, which had the coat of arms of the Westerling family, not the three-dog pattern of the Magic Mountain.

The decree said that the Earl of Westerling had a new decree to be issued to all the people of the territory, and that all the people who received the decree must rush to the Black Rock Square in Crag Rock City before noon in three days, but before the new decree was issued, the Earl set up a wooden pillar at the gate of Castle Castle, and the strong man who dared to remove the wooden pillar to the gate of the Earl's main castle was rewarded with a golden dragon.

*

On the day of the family wedding between Magic Mountain and Jenny, the entire city of Castle Rock was crowded with the people of the whole territory, and the people received the edict from the earl, and all of them came to the Black Rock Square in Cliff Rock City.

At noon, the heir of Crag Rock, Renard Westerling, came out of the castle, mounted his horse, and led several guards, shouting as he went: Whoever has the strength to carry the wooden pillars at the gate of the main castle to the gate of the main castle will be rewarded with a golden dragon.

Renard kept shouting from the gate of the main fort to the gate of Castle Rock.

A wooden pillar has been erected here since the morning, there are two soldiers guarding here, and there are many onlookers, the crowd of people, the water is impassable, everyone points and talks, but no one dares to come forward to move the wood.

"Thousands of people in Westerling, can't you find a single one with guts?" Renard shouted at the crowd.

"I!" a man walked out, with big shoulders and round waists, thick lips and wide faces, who was Bernie's wife, Bull.

Bernie himself shrank to the side and egged on the bull for a couple of words, and the bull stepped up.

Bernie told the bull that as long as she went to move wood and earned a golden dragon for him, he would never leave her for the rest of his life.

So, the bull stepped forward.

When this came out, the audience was in an uproar, and no one could have imagined that the strong man of Westerling who stood up turned out to be a woman with thick eyebrows and big eyes.

This was also a great embarrassment for Renard Westerling.

There were at least 1,300 families in the Westerling Territory, and after careful accounting of the household registration by her sister Jenny and Mother Hibeel, the latest statistics show that there are already more than 1,500 families in the territory, and the new 200 or so households are added after the nobles return the land.

With so many people, thousands of people, can't you find a single one of them who has the guts? It's just a woman!

With the coaxing of the crowd and the encouragement of Bernie's eyes, the bull walked over, Young Master Renard had no choice but to nod and signal the soldiers to get out of the way, and the Westerling family, whose family was also overdrawn, summoned the people of the whole territory to come to Castle Rock City There is a new decree to announce, Lord Magic Mountain has made this test, and he wants to establish his trust among the people, but he can't imagine that the one who dares to come out to carry wood is just a stout stupid woman.

This will make Count Damon and Count Leo, who are watching the bustle in the corridors of the main castle, laugh off their big teeth, and spread the word, and it will also discredit Westerling.

No man in Westerling has the guts!

Thinking of this, Renard felt ashamed and couldn't breathe!

The bull didn't know Bernie's intentions, Bernie came to see the excitement anyway, and then he would leave here, wandering in the Seven Kingdoms, he contacted a drama troupe, which would perform in Lannisport, and then get on the boat and head south, and he would perform in places such as the High Court of the Riverlands and the Old Town, the largest port in the Seven Kingdoms.

The bull lifted the post, and the post was not light, but the bull also had strength. In front of the bull, Renard and two guards made the way for the bull, and behind the bull, there was a sea of people, followed by countless people watching the excitement.

When Count Damon saw that the man who dared to stand up and carry wood in Count Gavin's domain turned out to be a stupid strong woman, he burst out laughing.

Count Leo couldn't help but smile.

Count Gavin's face flushed with shame.

Mrs. Hibell went straight into the room, unable to bear to look at her.

Jenny and the Magic Mountain were standing in the corridor, Jenny looked strange, but the Magic Mountain looked unchanged.

The Magic Mountain even whistled very easily.

What he will announce next will stunned Count Leo and Count Damon, and Count Gavin will be unbelievable, but he will be able to win the hearts of the people of the whole realm.

Although the bull has not yet finished carrying the wood, the plan of the Magic Mountain to recruit soldiers and enrich the people and win the trust of the people has been successfully launched, and it will be unstoppable.
