165. On this smooth earth

Moonlight Palace, November 18, the first snow of the year 419 in the new calendar, came later than usual.

At the banquet, the melodious sound of bagpipes accompanied by snowflakes spread out from the garden to every corner, and the listeners were full of smiles.

Blanche was now even more averse to blood, so Randall had the chef prepare all vegetarian food, not even any red sauces or food.

Bonney wasn't there, and it was a small private banquet with only Randall, Amy, and Lancer present

Today is the twenty-seventh day of the Blue Lion Knights' assistance to Edward, and it is also Blanche's birthday, Randall held a celebration for her in the palace, and let Edward's personal bagpiper play, at the same time, Randall also picked up the bagpipes and sang unfamiliarly.

The bagpipe is a musical instrument originating from the British Peninsula, during the First Dynasty of Gaul, seventeen British knight families, crossing the sea to avoid chaos, and finally settled in the province of Accor, bringing this instrument, which has endured for a long time and gradually became the mainstream of the province of Accor.

But this is a northern barbarian island musical instrument, and there are many French nobles who despise it, so it is only circulated locally. Before leaving, Edward played bagpipes to please Randall when he entered Randall's study to discuss how to kill the abominable Wallace.

Edward was a bastard, but in order to please women, bagpipes were very good, and the notes he blew were extremely romantic and light, and Randall was quite satisfied, and the sound penetrated the study and reached the ears of Blanche, who was sitting on the bed, and she slowly walked out of the room with Amy by the hand.

The study and bedroom have an unlocked internal walkway.

When Blanche appeared at the door behind Randall, Edward stopped in surprise, the man was wearing a blue veil, his skin was whiter than milk, and he had a beauty that was hard to forget at the sight of his face, but he vaguely gave people a sense of misanthropy.

"Good day, Your Highness. ”

"I've seen Your Highness. ”

Edward, who had never seen Blanche, saluted with Hu Li.

"Why did you get out?!" Randall stood up in surprise.

"Really...... Good...... Listen. ”

Blanche walked up behind Randall and leaned against him.

"Keep blowing, with all your abilities. Randall said immediately.

Edward blew another song, and Blanche leaned her head on her husband's back and said "um" to show satisfaction.

"My subordinates are several times better than me, and they must be more likable to His Highness. Edward took the opportunity to say.

"Hu Li, pass my order, and bring back the bagpiper as soon as possible. ”

At that moment, Randall sent the best horses in the territory, the most skilled riders, from the main post road he had built, all the way to gallop, exhausted four horses, two disabled, and in five days, from Susie City, Edward's territory, to the Moonlight Palace, the riders brought back Edward's best bagpipe player, to cure her depression.

Blanche had severe insomnia before, and Randall was afraid that people would make her noisy, which made the West Courtyard extremely quiet, which did not help her, and the first sound of bagpipes deeply moved Blanche.

Purified by the music, the knot in her heart untied most of it, and the notes turned into wings, which were attached to her back, leading her to the clouds, lakes, and mountains.

The voice soothed her, and also made her pick up Lancer again, who had worked so hard to conceive.

Five days ago, Randall hugged Lancer, who was crying and crying, and Blanche walked lightly to the two fathers and sons.

Her body trembled a little, and so did Randall, who was afraid that his wife was not ready, and the maid and nurse around him were also very nervous, and if the hostess injured the little master, they must be the unlucky ones.

"Give...... To give....... ”

"Our lovely kids. Randall handed it over gently.

Perhaps having lived in his mother's womb for a long time and was familiar with the scent, Lancer saw Blanche's face and began to cry.

His eyes rolled, he looked at his mother, and whined.

Blanche unfastens her pajamas and lets her baby suck milk, and when Lancer has a full stomach, her eyes roll and make a "gurgling" sound.

The voice was cute and charming, and Randall laughed along.

The two coaxed the child to sleep, and then returned to the bedroom to lie down.

Randall touched his wife's face, and so did his wife.

"I want to see you and your child's faces. Then Randall buried his face in his chest, smelling a trace of saliva left by his son just now, he immediately stuck out his tongue and covered the smell, the faint smell of milk, so that Randall was fascinated and couldn't bear to stop .......

The beautiful night lasted until the morning, but at the same time, the long-legged Edward, who was hundreds of miles away, was much harder, and he was fighting his opponent with "eyes" and "gestures".

After he returned to the territory, the Intelligence Department spread rumors that he had been reprimanded by Randall, who had only given him a hundred men to support him, and forced him to lead troops to reclaim the few villages that had been taken from him, as well as Wallace's head, within a limited time, otherwise he would reclaim his fiefdom.

However, Wallace's side also heard about the movement of the knights under the Golden Lion, and for fear of fraud, he avoided the battle and waited and watched.

Edward couldn't find anyone, so he destroyed the family cemetery of Wallace's new wife, took out the bones, buried them in the dung pit, and took the bride's parents and three younger siblings who fell into his hands as hostages, threatened to kill them, and let his subordinates release the news.

He hanged two children one after another, and after the news broke, he finally forced Wallace out.

He led 900 men to storm the ruined city of Susi, and forty percent of this group were the private armies of Laussy, so the force was comparable to that of the regular army, including 300 heavy cavalry.

The defenders consisted of only fifty men, armed only with simple round shields and long swords, and after he quickly broke through, Edward's whereabouts were not seen, and there were many treasures in the city.

The captured defenders said that Edward had used the fiefdom to collect rent for "fifty years" (which Randall had given him) to borrow the property and prepare to buy off the other lords against Wallace.

But in this case, Edward should have muffled his preparations, and why bother to provoke them to fight, and now that Edward was gone, it was strange that Wallace retreated, but the shining jewels deceived Lausay's men, and they insisted on carrying them away at daybreak.

"With so many heavy cavalry, the king of the battlefield since ancient times, even if they can't beat it, they can easily retreat if they take off their heavy armor. "Raussey's men calmly let the people stay for the night longer, and in the early morning they raised the fire and roasted the meat, laughed and laughed, and they sang fast songs and laughed at the long-legged girl.

"Rub him, and at the good-bye, press him on smooth ground and rub him," and the great calamity is coming without knowing it, and in the morning all the goods have been brought into the ox-cart or wagon.

That very night, Edward followed the army, emerging from the road where they could retreat to the north, and gradually approached.

Wallace's side, less than two hours after leaving Susie City, stopped, because the scout cavalry who explored the road did not come back, and after walking for a while, he found a seriously injured scout on the road, and at the same time, the huge army also appeared in front of the eyelids, the momentum and equipment of this army made Wallace's side panic.
