"Has the Xuedi people moved on in the past two days?"

Old Duke Shawford stood in front of the window, his snow-white hair was reflected in the snow outside the window, and the sporadic snowflakes made him unable to eat and sleep for the past two days. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

"Father, the Xuedi people have retreated, and they haven't heard from Van Pei for the time being, so it should be that the head of the Gale regiment fled with him. It's a pity that the Black Tower Cavalry Regiment was completely annihilated because of Van Pei's nonsense, so that the troops that we spent three years hard to plant in the Far North were uprooted, and now the entire Far North has completely fallen into the hands of the Third Prince. ”

Bandik Shawbard stands behind the elder Shawbard, he is the father of Van Pei Shawbard, the party whip of the **** party in the Senate, and the auxiliary is the **** prince. Although the elder Shawbard did not directly ask about Van Pei's grandson, Bandick knew the elder Shawbard better than anyone else.

"Van Pei is your son, why do you speak so coldly?"

Old Shawbird turned his head dissatisfied, although he knew in his heart that Van Pei had indeed gone a little too far this time.

"Father, I think it's better to let him suffer a little than to have a bigger catastrophe in the future. Moreover, this time the Black Tower Cavalry Regiment was completely annihilated, causing us to smear the Far North region, and the mineral merchants in the Far North region will collectively fall to the Third Prince, and the Third Prince will inevitably use this matter against you, father. ”

When Bandick talked about his third son, who was not angry, he hated iron in his heart.

"Okay, I'll put it aside in advance, it's not a day or two that the third prince wants to deal with me. The most important thing now is to find a way to find Van Pei and bring him back safely, you can't let my grandson die in the far north, right? Old Hubbard's voice already carried a hint of anger.

The elder Shaw is nearly 70 years old, and in a few years he will be enjoying his family.

The tiger father has no dogs, every grandchild is too promising, and he is very busy, only Fan Pei, the third ancestor, often comes to him when he has nothing to do, although he is a little messy and willful, but at least he makes old Shaw feel that he is still a grandfather.

Naturally, the elder Hubbard loved Van Pei, the most unpromising grandson, the most.

"Yes...... Father, I have already arranged for someone to inquire about Van Pei. ”

Bandick sighed and could only nod in agreement.

The old man protects the calf, but if he protects the calf like this, he dared to attempt to rape Her Royal Highness the princess a few days ago, and now he dares to make a fool of himself and cause the thousand Black Tower cavalry regiment to be wiped out, maybe he will dare to beat the prince tomorrow.

The chessboard that the family has worked hard for so many years may one day be disrupted by Van Pei's nonsense.

Knock knock!

"Lord Duke, a messenger from Sunset Town is waiting in the hall, saying that there is a letter to be delivered to you personally."

Just as Bandick was about to leave the room, there was a knock from a guard at the door.

"Sunset Town? Quick, let the messenger come to me. No, I went to the hall in person. Old Duke Shaw walked to the door with an anxious expression, how could he still have the majesty of the military headquarters on weekdays.

Bandik, who had already reached the door, smiled wryly and pulled the door open in advance, letting old Hubbard go out first, knowing that his father was already distraught when he heard about Sunset Town.

Ducal Palace Hall.

Roddy is the personal guard of Gael, the commander of the Black Tower Cavalry Regiment, and he is a clever man, this time he came from Sunset Town, and has been careful in the far north, avoiding many checkpoints, so that he can reach the royal capital safely. After entering the royal capital, he did not go straight to the Duke's Palace, but found a small hotel and dressed up as a merchant to enter the Duke's Palace.

This was the first time Luo Di came to the Duke's Palace, although the grandeur of the Duke's Palace made Luo Di dizzy, but he still remembered Van Pei's advice, personally handed the letter to the old Duke Shawbold, and conveyed the original words of Master Van Pei to the old Duke.

"You're from Sunset?"

When old Hubbard arrived in the hall, he had regained his former seriousness, and Roddy felt a sense of fear just by hearing the voice of the great man.

With the old Shaw Bird, there is also Van Pei's father Bandick, he wants Van Pei to look good, but after all, he is his own son, how can he not care.

"Yes, Lord Duke." Luo Di quickly calmed down and took out a letter from his arms, "This is the letter that Young Master Van Pei asked me to bring back, I must hand it over to you personally, and there are still some words to convey in person." ”

"Father, if you want me to see, this bastard must be crying and begging to take him home." Although Bandick cared about his son, he knew better what kind of virtue his son was.

"No, no, Young Master Van Pei didn't ask to come back, he plans to rebuild Sunset Town." Roddy looked at Bandic in surprise.

"Reconstruction?"

This time, not only Bandick, but also old Shawbard showed a surprised look, which is a bit abnormal.

Old Shaw Bird hurriedly opened the letter, and when he saw it, he was first dumbfounded, then lost in thought, then nodded slightly, and handed the letter to Bandick: "Come and see what good your son has done in the Far North." ”

Did a good deed?

Bandick frowned and took the letter, wanting to see what was causing his father's expression to change so much.

Just this look......

Destroy 3,000 enemies? Sticking to Sunset? Tens of thousands of Xuedi people were repulsed when they were dispatched?

"Nonsense! This is simply exonerating himself, as far as his ability is concerned, let alone him, even if it is a father, you may not be able to deal with tens of thousands of Xuedi people with only a thousand Black Tower cavalry. Will the king believe this? ”

Bandick was furious after reading the first paragraph, but he didn't expect his son to learn anything else, but he learned faster than anyone else by lying about the military situation.

"At that time, Captain Gale also asked Young Master Van Pei not to write like this, but Master Van Pei said three words at that time, and Head Gale was silent." Roddy knew it was time to speak.

"Oh? Tell me about it! Old Shawbard laughed.

When Bandick heard Captain Gale's words, he knew that his son was messing around, but if his father wanted to listen, he could only frown and listen to what his lawless son said.

"Young Master Fanpei's first sentence was, have the Xuedi people retreated?" Roddy learned from Van Pei's tone at that time.

This......

Old Shawbard nodded silently.

Bandick looked like he couldn't laugh or cry, Xuedi did retreat, you don't care how you retreated, you left anyway.

"Young Master Van Pei's second sentence is, is Sunset Town still in my hands?"

At!

Isn't that there? Although the two of them knew that it was Fan Pei who fled first, and when the Xuedi people had ransacked it, they went back to Sunset Town.

But again, Sunset Town is now in the hands of Van Pei.

"And what's the third sentence?" Shawbard Sr. asked.

"Young Master Fanpei's third sentence is that the Xuedi people have retreated, and Young Master Ben is still in Sunset Town, that is, he has repelled the Xuedi people and held Sunset Town, which is to guard the gateway of the entire extreme north region, which is a great achievement."

Luo Di learned the tone of Van Pei, and learned Van Pei's shameless appearance at that time to the fullest.

Old Shawbard and Bandick looked at each other, and their hearts were shocked.

Such a shameless statement, except for his own old fritter politicians, even Van Pei's brothers and sisters did not dare to boast of a battle that was surrounded and annihilated to collapse and flee as fighting to the death, repelling ten times the enemy without reinforcements, and it was also an extremely fierce Xuedi people.

Although this is very shameful, it is a necessary cultivation for a good politician.

"Bandick, you go on to look down and see what your son has discovered, and what he has said about Kingdom reform. You, I've said many times that you can't always rely on ores and magic crystals, you have to develop multiple industries. You say all day long that I can only fight, I don't understand the economy, and if you want me to see, none of you have the courage of a child. ”

Old Shawbard thought of the aftermath of the letter and said to Bandik.

"Father, economic reform is really not something that can be promoted in one or two sentences. Moreover, ore and magic crystals have always been in short supply, and as much as we give, the business alliance will need, which is also a huge profit, and it is an important source of maintaining the kingdom's huge military expenditure. Bandick laughed and said that their father and son had argued about it many times.

Still, Bandick looked at the second paragraph of his son's letter.

This is a terrible look.

"Xuedi is fighting in cotton clothes? The weapons are not inferior to the Black Tower cavalry? How is it possible, is it really as Van Pei said, it is privately funded by a business alliance? After reading the second paragraph, Bandick raised his head to Roddy and asked, "Is this true, or is it made up by Van Pei?" The stakes are high, and there can be no deception, but you have to think clearly, otherwise you and your regimental commander will be guillotined. ”

Bandick's voice was aggravated, and he even did not hesitate to threaten the guillotine, it was too easy to send Roddy to the guillotine with his status.

"Two adults, this is absolutely true. We were besieged and annihilated, not only because of the heavy snow, but also because the Shedi people were well-armed. In the past, because of the lack of supplies, they used to use stones as arrowheads, but the last time they fought with us, they were iron arrowheads. ”

As he spoke, Roddy took out a short arrow from his bosom and handed it to Bandic, the iron arrow that had been pulled from the head of Gael.

took the iron arrow and looked at it carefully, the craftsmanship was slightly fancy, unlike the kingdom's weapon craftsmanship, which was mainly rough, Bandick's expression was gloomy: "Father, it is indeed not an iron arrow produced by our kingdom, it is very similar to the arrow of the commercial alliance. But why did they do it? If we cut off the ore and magic crystal trade with the Business Alliance, the Business Alliance will be very passive in the future, and it is impossible to oppose us in this matter. ”

Bandik frowned, this situation was a bit beyond his imagination, he thought that the rebellion of the Xuedi people was arranged by the third prince, but now it seems that there is someone else.

If it is a business alliance according to what the son's letter says...... No, it is impossible for a business alliance to risk a flip with the kingdom.

At this moment, a guard hurried in.

"Lord Duke, His Majesty the King has sent a decree for you and Lord Count to enter the palace as soon as possible."

"What did Your Majesty say?" Old Duke Shawbard asked, thinking that the commercial alliance mentioned in Van Pei's letter would send an ambassador in the next few days to demand that the kingdom withdraw from the region of Simir.

"The merchant alliance sent an emissary saying that he had a great opinion on the kingdom's occupation of the Simir region, and demanded that the kingdom withdraw from the Simir region, otherwise it would threaten to cut off trade. Moreover, every time the business alliance came over, they were in a hurry to sign the ore and magic crystal purchase agreement, but this time they did not sign it, because the situation was serious, and the king hoped that the two lords, the duke and the earl, could quickly enter the palace to discuss. ”

The guard replied.

That's all right!!

Old Hubbard and Bandick were not in the slightest abnormality on the surface, but they were shocked in their hearts.

They were not shocked by such a move by the business alliance, but by the Shaw Birds' family's most unpromising third ancestor, Van Pei, who had actually made such an extraordinary prediction in his letter.

"Could it be that there are masters around Van Pei? But this kind of vision, even ordinary masters can't predict it so accurately. ”

Old Shaw and Bandick suddenly found that they had underestimated the third ancestor of their family.
