At the entrance of Eleonora's palace, Wu Jian and Eleonora are apologizing to Lim for sneaking out.

"You're coming back so late?" Lim said with a cold look in her eyes and without a hint of tone.

"Don't worry, it's my gift to you."

Wu Jian flipped his hand, and a bear puppet suddenly appeared in his hand - plus this one, Wu Jian didn't know how many he had sent out in just ten days, and each one was different.

"W-you—do you think you can bribe me like this!?"

Very well, Lim's expression slackened—a big emotional upswing, to be exact.

Wu Jian secretly glanced at Aryonora, and then made a gesture to throw: "Since you don't want it, then I'll do it"

"Stop!"

Limu immediately pounced and snatched the bear puppet from Wu Jian's hand, then turned around and complained: "Really, how many times have you said it, don't make garbage in the palace!" ”

This is outside--Wu Jian whispered.

Hearing Wu Jian's words, Eleonora snorted and chuckled, looked at Lim who was holding the bear puppet with her back to them, and leaned her head close to Wu Jian and whispered: "It's really amazing, I found out Lim's preferences in such a short period of time is really the public enemy of women." ”

"That's it, do you still want to serve me?"

"It's not to serve you, it's you to serve me! And you haven't answered me yet. ”

Eleonora's bright eyes looked at Wu Jian, expecting his answer.

However, Wu Jian turned his head and said meaningfully: "No hurry"

Aryonora is indeed not in a hurry, anyway, Wu Jianren is here for her. And she is also confident that she will definitely make Wu Jian surrender.

Then. Limu, who could already hide her joy, turned her head and looked into Wu Jian's eyes: "Why do you want to come back?" ”

"Huh?"

"With Mistress Eleonora by your side, this is a good opportunity, and you don't seem to have any intention of escaping because you are confident enough in your escape?"

Lim knew very well that after discovering the two of them sneaking out, she sent someone to follow. From the debriefing of those people. Wu Jian didn't have that kind of plan at all, of course, she didn't know that those people couldn't hide it from Wu Jian.

"Lim hasn't even said she likes me, so how can I go?"

Wu Jian hooked Limu's jaw, because she was frightened by Wu Jian's words, so she stiffened and did not dodge.

"What stupid are you talking about!?"

Lim knocked off Wu Jian's hand and roared with grin, "Don't think that I will relax my vigilance against you if I am so courteous!" Get me back to my room right now! ”

"Don't you? Staying in your room all day will rust. ”

"Humph! Don't be complacent! Don't forget that you're still a captive, and you've been giving you a whole day out there! And. Don't forget that you ran around before and peeked at Eleonora-sama taking a shower! ”

"Hey, you're being unreasonable. It was just that I wanted to take a shower, and someone sued me for that place. Moreover, Elaine didn't say anything, and invited me to wash together. ”

"Give, I, go back, go!"

"Good"

Seeing that Lim was about to explode. Wu Jian simply left, and in the back he could still hear Limu's lecture to Eleonora.

"Mistress Eleonora. You're too indulgent to this man, and you don't have the consciousness of being a captive at all, so go on like this."

There was no need to listen to the rest, Wu Jian shook his head and returned to his room. In front of the door, a bald horseman was found.

"You're back." The bald head bowed respectfully to Wu Jian.

"Oh, who are you?"

"I'm Lurick," Lurick said, looking down. There was also apology to Wu Jian in his tone.

"Who is Lurick?" Wu Jian pinched his chin, did he know this person?

Hearing his words, Lurick was visibly stunned, and then smiled bitterly: "Have you forgotten? Lurick, who gave you a low-quality bow before, was in trouble for you because of my ignorance. I'm so sorry! ”

With that, Lurick bowed his head deeply.

"Oh, the one who was scared to pee." Wu Jianyi clapped his palms.

"If you can, please forget it, it's not that you shirk responsibility, it's really my fault, if you want to punish me now, I'm willing!"

"No need, I've already said I won't pursue it anymore."

"Thank you!" Lurick raised his head and looked at Wu Jian with admiration: "After that, I was also locked up by Lord Aryonora for a few days, and then shaved my hair for self-punishment, but I admire your bow skills very much, so I ask Lord Eleonora to let me be your personal bodyguard"

It's said to be a personal guard, but it's just a watchman, otherwise what kind of personal guard does a prisoner want. But judging by Lurick's admiration, it's not wrong to say that he is a guard.

"I see, is there anything else you can do?"

If not, he'll have to go back to rest.

"That's right"

Lurick looked left and right for a moment, and then lowered his posture: "I caught an outsider not long ago, but he said he wanted to see Tagler Wilmud, can you come with me?" If you can, please wait until the evening and try not to make any noise. ”

"Just to meet him?"

"Yes, that's all I can do."

"Okay then."

Wu Jian nodded.

So, in the evening, Lu Like took the initiative to come over to pick up Wu Jian.

The two cautiously walked through the dark corridor at night, and in order to avoid being seen by the patrolling soldiers, they also chose a road that they usually did not walk, and finally arrived at the training ground.

There, an old man was surrounded by several soldiers, including two soldiers who had been scared by Wu Jian before.

"Oh, isn't this Bartrand?"

Seeing acquaintances, Wu Jian was not surprised.

"Young master? Young Lord! It's great that you're okay! ”

Wu Jian approached, and was immediately grabbed by the tearful old man.

"Didn't I say that before? I'm going to go on a long trip. ”

In fact, before going to the battlefield, Wu Jian told Batalong and Tita that they were going to the Duchy of Lightmeliz, but they didn't understand the meaning of the words.

"Great, he's someone you know." Lurick also looked happy, and then explained: "This old man did a very exaggerated thing to sneak into the palace. When you catch him. We found that he spoke with a Brunet accent. I thought to myself, 'Why?' and I mentioned the name of Tagel Wilmud, and he insisted on seeing you. ”

"You're in luck."

At this point, one of the soldiers shrugged his shoulders and said, "It's okay to be caught by us, but if someone else, the guys who hate Mr. Tageler, find out, they'll do it without saying a word." ”

Wu Jian nodded, then took out a few pieces of gold and stuffed them to Lurick.

"Wait, you don't have to be like this, we just admire your strength"

"Take it, it's the rules of the industry." Wu Jian said in a tone that could not be refused.

"This"

Lurick glanced back at his colleague. I found that although they didn't say anything, there was some longing in their eyes - they were not all knights, they came to serve as soldiers just to beg for food. And if this kind of thing is caught, it is possible to cut off the head, and then the gold will have a place to use - send it home.

So, they temporarily went to the side to share the spoils, and also to leave space for Wu Jian and the two. It's just that Wu Jian can still feel it. The gaze never stopped.

"Young master, now is not the time for idle talk! Alsace is in danger! ”

Bartland immediately got to the point. And pulled out a letter. It was written by the Count of Mashas, and it probably wrote about the current situation of Arthas, the fears of Tita, and more importantly - the Duke of Tenardier intended to send three thousand soldiers to burn Arthas, and take the people to collect them for himself or sell them to Muorginer. And upon learning of this news, Duke Ganglong was also ready to send troops first. Arthas has to face two vicious wolves, which can be described as embattled.

Lurick and the others didn't know what was written in the letter. Wu Jian's expression was also very flat. But from Batlon's expression and words, it can be known that Wu Jian's territory is now very dangerous, and Batlam ventured to come in order to pass on the news to Wu Jian and rescue him by the way.

Suddenly, Lurick and several other soldiers surrounded Wu Jian and Batran.

"Master Wu Jian, I understand your mood very well. But for now, please go back to your room! Lurick said in a sonorous voice.

"You" Batlang stood in front of Wu Jian.

"If there's a disturbance here, the fact that you opened the back door for me will be exposed." Wu Jian said with a smile.

"Even if that's the case, please go back!" Lurick said firmly.

The rest of the soldiers also looked at Wu Jian resolutely. Although they admired Wu Jian's strength, it was completely impossible for them to let Wu Jian go - it was just enough to let Wu Jian meet his acquaintances.

"Don't worry, I don't sneak around much—take me to Elaine. Bartland, come along. ”

In Eleonora's office, Lurick and the others were guarding outside—it was just the case that they had just caught Batlon, and it was impossible for them to tell the story of secretly letting Wu Jian and Batalong meet. Just keep it in mind and fight hard for Eleonora.

Silently putting down the letter that Wu Jian asked her to read, Eleonora looked at Wu Jian for a while before asking, "So, do you want me to let you go back?" ”

"Nope. Honestly, if I wanted to go back, there would be no one here to stop me. Even when I was caught by you, I did it on purpose. ”

"Huh? At this time, do you want to smear gold on your face? Lim said with a look of disdain.

"Anyway, in this world, as long as you pay the ransom if you catch a nobleman, you can only release people, right?"

It should be said that it can only be said to be a "general situation", but if you don't let people go, it will be a violation of the "rules", and everyone will not play with you, and the impact is still very great.

"Young Master, it's a pity that we didn't pay enough ransom"

Bartland could only be warned in advance that he and Mashaas could not get the ransom that Eleonora had demanded - although it was only an earl's price, but with no help. Two poor territories with crotch losses can't make that much money.

"Money isn't a problem, but now that you've said that you'll send it in a few days, you won't be able to let me go, right?"

Eleonora smiled and nodded, she even planned to let her go even if there was a ransom. In addition to love at first sight, Wu Jian's technique can also train a powerful army of archers, which can be very useful for the Duchy of Lightmeliz. In fact, only a country like the Kingdom of Brunay that greatly admires knights and despises archers will treat such archers as cannon fodder.

"That being the case. How about you go back with me? If you are not at ease, you can also bring your army with you. ”

This is

Eleonora and Lim, and even Bartland looked at him in amazement. I didn't expect Wu Jian to use this way, but I didn't expect it.

"Huh"

Eleonora pursed her lips and laughed a few times, her eyes flashing with amusement: "I see, do you want to rely on my army to help you resist the army of the Duke of Tenardier?" I didn't expect you to use it this way, but I didn't expect it. Still, you say you have enough ransom"

Aryonora looked at Batlon, who was beside Wu Jian.

"Can I also ask you to call this old man back to get the ransom? Is there a small treasury or something? If you want me to let you go, just hand over the ransom first—just tell him where the little vault is, won't you? ”

Eleonora looked at Wu Jian interestingly, how would he deal with it? It's funny.

"It's naughty. I'm just inviting you to stay with me for a long time. Wu Jian replied with a smile.

"Resident?" Eleonora was stunned.

"Stay!"

"You guy" Lim raised her eyebrows and looked at Wu Jian in surprise.

"Young master!"

Batlang said in a hurry, trying to persuade but was stopped by Wu Jian. However, he also knew that this was the best way to protect Alsace at the moment. Otherwise, even if Wu Jian returned to the territory, he wouldn't be able to change anything.

Although he knew that they had misunderstood, he didn't say anything, just looked at Aryonora with a smile.

"I didn't expect you to be so crisp"

Bow your head and man for a while. Eleonora raised her head: "Is the territory better for me to get than the Duke of Tenardier?" ”

The misunderstanding is really big, Wu Jian's permanent residence is not what he meant. But because it's funny, he doesn't explain it clearly, so he simply answers the above question.

"Batrand, what will happen to Arthas if the army of the Duke of Tenardier or the Duke of Gonnon arrives?"

Bartland was stunned for a moment, and then replied: "There have been cases in China where the Duke of Tenardier or the Duke of Gangon have been accepted by the Duke of Tenardier or the Duke of Ganglon. But any territory that is not adjacent to each other will be burned and plundered - this is also the result of the two dukes fighting each other. If it is inconvenient for them to manage by themselves, and they may be taken advantage of by the other party, they will move the valuable ones to their own territory in this way, and the people there will also be taken to other places to betray. For example, the kingdom of M'Ogener, which was in slavery"

The thought that his own territory might also be treated in this way made Batalong feel sad, and even Lurick outside wept when he heard it.

Eleonora and Lim frowned, although they heard that the Brunay Kingdom was in a miasma because of infighting, but they didn't expect that they would be so strict that they would be subjects of their own country, and they would be treated like this. Even if they want to usurp the throne, after success, it will belong to them, haven't they thought about how to manage and win people's hearts in the future?

But it's no wonder he made such a decision.

Eleonora glanced at Wu Jian, then stood up: "Lim, it's time for a war!" Raise the Black Dragon Flag! ”

"Yes!"

Lim immediately walked out to make arrangements.

After that, Aryonora said to Wu Jian: "This time, I will lend you soldiers!" In return, I want all of Alsace! ”

Wu Jian nodded, she wants it, isn't it Alsace? It doesn't matter if the world gives her.

After that, the two did not sign any secret agreement, and Eleonora believed Wu Jian - and wanted to believe Wu Jian. She plans to reuse Wu Jian, and it will be worth it if she uses Arthas to see through him. And it's easy to please God, and once her army is stationed in Alsace, it's not so easy to send out.

A principality, if you want to send troops, you don't just say it, and while she was ready to prepare, Aryonora discussed countermeasures with Wu Jian.

"Depending on the situation, we may fight with the armies of the Duke of Tenardiye and the Duke of Gangon repeatedly, and it is better to fight according to the geographical advantage, do you have any good countermeasures?"

"There are countermeasures, and there are none. When the time comes, you just have to watch it, it will be a wonderful show. ”

"Oh"

It seemed that Wu Jian didn't plan to say it, although Eleonora felt that it would be good for Wu Jian to make her prepared by saying it, but she didn't ask too much. As long as Wu Jian really didn't want Alsace to fall into the hands of the Duke of Tenardier or the Duke of Gonlon, he would definitely have to work hard to deal with the battle.

Moreover, Arthas and her principality of Lettermeliz are only separated by a mountain, so how can they not investigate the situation there? Besides, she had faith in herself and her army. No matter what the situation, they can win it.

Basically, according to the distance, they should have arrived in Alsace at the same time as the army of the Duke of Tenardier. However, there were not many obstacles on the other side, and it was the first to reach the front of the city of Seresta (the capital of Alsace was actually just that), and the leader was Zion, the son of the Duke of Tenardier, a standard gentleman, lustful and cruel.
