169. Randall (3)
"Jebel, you still haven't issued a recruitment order?"
A middle-aged lady with gems on six of her ten fingers broke into the other four fingers, because her bones were seriously deformed, and her fat buttocks twisted when she walked, and her face was covered with extremely thick "heavy makeup".
In Jebe's heart, this woman has no elegant and aristocratic temperament at all, but she cannot be offended, she is Sula, the wife of the Marquis of Penny, the mistress of Surabaya County.
Behind Sula is a tall bearded sword general, her own brother - Huai Lei, whose arm muscles are powerful, before Jebe became famous, he was the most powerful nobleman in the territory, many years ago, Jebe who had not yet shown his prominence competed with him in an archery conference, Huai Lei was defeated by an arrow, after this incident, Jebe became more and more important, and now the martial arts in the territory are still above Huai Lei.
The two of them broke into the study with their guards and interrupted Jebe, who was practicing French.
"Ma'am. ”
"Sir. ”
Jebel got up and said hello, except that his appearance could not be changed, he gestured, and he was already a full Francois nobleman.
"Adolf's messenger has urged you many times, but you still haven't moved. Sulla chose a rocking chair and sat down, shaking her body and making a rattling sound, without giving Jebel respect as a "regent".
"You don't seem to understand the meaning of an ally, our old neighbor, the Marquis of Qilin, with his men, is confronting Guillaume, and if we drag it any longer, we will be ridiculed for betraying our ally. Wyrey looked at Jebel and the marquis's chair under him, it was this bastard who had robbed him of the position of regent, and if the Nasili had killed his brother-in-law with an arrow, it would not have been so much of a matter now.
"I have given an order to send three hundred soldiers and a month's rations to show my sincerity, and I am not a vassal of Adolf, they are authorized by the royal court, but only have the power to supervise and garrison the south, and cannot be used in the tone of an order. Jebe saw the anger in the eyes of the two, and stopped and said again, "My father said that his friendship with the Grand Duke of Zijin will not change until the end of the world, the golden lion and I have a friendship, I remember it in my heart, but there are frequent accidents in the territory, two months ago, I led to the border mountain area of Pulie Province to have many "ground movements", two local wooden forts, one stone fort was seriously damaged, and more than 50 people were killed and injured .......
A month ago, the winter snow was raging, the agricultural crops were badly damaged, and the letters from the officials in the territory asking for help were flying like snowflakes, so far I could only solve half of the manpower, and I could no longer afford Adolf's requirements, and they also appointed 200 cavalry to help, and the daily expenses of one cavalryman were enough for a family of four to need a day's rations. ”
"Financial difficulties can only mean that you have no way to govern. Sura scoffed.
"In one year, you have held seven banquets, and Lord Huailei has held two martial arts competitions, and the eagle pounds of the treasury have fled from the territory one after another, and if there are no such expenses, I can naturally send troops. Jebel couldn't help but blurt out.
The discussion broke up unhappily, Jebel insisted on the bottom line, and when he saw the two leaving, he sat down slowly, thinking that he should be tougher in the future, and the effect just now was good.
Sula leaves Jebel and goes to Penny's room to make a big fuss. Inconvenient, Penny, lying on the bed, sees her as air, and Penny is lying next to a woman without clothes, "rehabilitating" him, trying to wake up his "weapon" and regain his strength.
"Get out. Sula yelled at the woman next to Penny.
"It's you who should get out. Penny had been getting better lately, and he didn't want to be disturbed, and he reached for the door, "If it had been before, I would have broken your woman's front teeth, remember, don't bother Jebel again, or I'll reward you with one more scar." ”
Penny's marquis has been passed to his son, who is less than ten years old, but he still decides on important matters in the territory, and he chooses Jebe, the righteous son who has no foundation, in addition to valuing it, but also secretly fearing that the power will fall into the hands of Sulla and Huailei, and when the time comes, they will certainly not be like Jebe, who will report to him about everything.
The experience of violence when she was young made Sula afraid of this husband, and after her husband returned to the territory half dead, she was very happy, in the past two years, her life has been easy, her power has grown, and her self-confidence has recovered a lot, and Penny's words awakened the nightmare, making Sulla's hands and feet tremble, and she quit quickly.
.
Exit the door and walk in the garden.
"Sister, are you okay?" Huai Lei looked at Sura Dao, who was breathing faster.
"Forget it, I'm afraid of him. Sula raised his ten fingers, and the six rings glowed, but what was more striking was the four fingers without any gems, and the knuckles were badly deformed, the result of repeated Penny blows when he was young, and Sulla used his hands to block them.
At that time, in order to save the financial mess left to him by his father, the nineteen-year-old Penny, married Sula, who was the same age and had no good feelings, but had a good family, and when his situation improved, he did not have a good face for this wife who was not beautiful enough, and jealous, stupid, and had no offspring, and he used to whip Sula, leaving a scar on her face, so that she was ashamed to see people, and always had to apply thick powder.
"You must send troops, Your Highness (Randall) has promised, after this matter, I will be the regent in the future, and the Marquis of Qilin next door will also share a part of it in the future, and reward it to our family, let me be a marquis, the marquis family! I am the first patriarch, and you are the noblest woman in the province of Dom. Wray squeezed Sura's hand and said, "Perhaps, it's time to let my brother-in-law leave." ”
When Sulla sent someone to the Moonlight Palace to ask Boni to intervene in the selection of regents, Wray caught up with Randall and began to communicate secretly.
“!” Sura was paralyzed in fright and killed her husband, this is a crime in hell, no matter how much she hates, she doesn't dare to have such thoughts.
"At the beginning, I was abandoned and became a joke, and it was Penny who reached out. Sula shook her head.
"There is always a death. Seeing that there was no one around, Wray leaned closer and whispered, "Do you remember that your father was going to marry you off to the knight of Soga? But why did Soga suddenly disappear, it was all done by his brother-in-law, he got a few of the dirtiest stinky prostitutes, got someone to get drunk, rode on Soga, and infected him with a vicious disease (syphilis), and then he said goodbye without saying goodbye." ”
Sula was stunned and said for a long time, "How do you know about this?"
"Because...... This is a plan I conspired with my brother-in-law, I'm sorry, sister, my father valued Sogan's poor boy at that time, and even wanted to give up our barony to him, so I can't accept it, and at that time, my brother-in-law's first wife had just passed away in childbirth, so we had this plan. ”
Long.
"Soga...... Where have you been?"
"Dead, covered with abscesses, when I went to see him, he begged me to give him a relief, and said that he would die honorably, so he took his armor and spear, and had a horse joust with me, which was my first and last victory against him. ”
"Smack!"
Wray was slapped in the face, and Sulla, distraught, returned to his room to find a long-sealed portrait ...... the young knight had given him.
Four days later, Penny died a dignified death in his sleep, and Jebe, who had lost his backer, could not resist it, and most of his military power was taken away, and Wray immediately led 2,000 men north to support Randall.
In a castle in the province of Hautan Annong and the province of Pulie, the two met.
"Lord Wray, it's been a great job. ”
