Chapter 115: The Old Man Visits
"The war in the east is over?" Jason asked, wiping the sweat from his face, sitting next to the castle's newly carved training ground.
"Yes, my lord, I just got the information that this war ended a week ago with the Marquis Garcia of the Kingdom of Lopez personally intervening to sue for peace. Ronnet whispered, "And the three eastern counties have been ceded to the Duchy of Lion." ”
"What?" Jason's face was full of disbelief: "Is Marquis Garcia's head full of dung?
If a kingdom is defeated and surrendered by a principality, it will become a laughing stock when it is rumored to be spread, even if the military of this principality is indeed strong, but Lopez is not without the strength to destroy it.
The name of the number one military power in the north is not called in vain, but I don't know what happened to the old king, but with Jason's strength, he can't enter the royal city once and come out intact, so he can only be in a hurry.
"I'm also curious, but maybe it's because of the threat from the Susin Kingdom that he had to go and sue for peace, otherwise Lopez would face a double threat. ”
"It's ridiculous, the kingdom of Susin was once slaughtered by the Marquis of Asa with an army of 30,000 people, and if it weren't for the signing of a bunch of disgusting treaties, his royal family would have ceased to exist!" Jason said disdainfully, this country is an empty shell, empty in the name of a kingdom.
"I'm sorry, sir, but I can't think of any other reason than that. Ronnat bowed his head slightly: "Our intelligence organization is not strong enough to infiltrate the kingdom's power. ”
"I don't blame you for this, if you want to break into the kingdom, you can't do it with resources, and it will take time to accumulate. Jason said with a smile.
"Even if he is rotten to the bone, he is a behemoth after all. Jason stood up and looked south, in the direction of Lopez King City.
"In addition to that, we got other news. Ronnet said again.
"What's the news?"
"Archduke Cameron abdicated with serious injuries, and his sole orthodox heir, Gwendline Cameron, seemed to be going to ascend the throne. ”
"Gwendline......" Jason's eyes were deep, Grand Duke Cameron was seriously injured and abdicated, and Gwendlin ascended the throne and sat on the fourth iron throne in the north, this news will undoubtedly bring a huge impact on the northern pattern.
"It's tricky. He muttered.
"A woman, what is terrible, they were born to be conquered. Ronnatt muffled, full of masculinity.
"I'm going to teach you a lesson. Jason looked at him with a smile: "Women, sometimes they are much more terrible than men, especially since Gwendrine is still a lioness. ”
"I don't understand. ”
"An ambitious woman, especially a wise and ambitious woman, is the most unprovoked. "Jason looks like he understands women very well.
In fact, this is all a lesson of blood and tears in history, think about Wu Zetian, think about Cleopatra, etc.
“......”
Ronnet was silent, a man like him, who had lived on the battlefield all his life, had too little contact with women, and meetings were usually carried out...... I know everything, and there is too little psychological and ideological communication.
"Alas~ You don't understand. Jason shook his head, disappointed in his men.
"I just need to know who the enemy is. Ronnet grinned.
"You. Jason pointed at him and smiled and said that he was really lucky to have such a subordinate.
"My lord, someone from outside sent a letter, but he insisted on seeing him before identifying himself, so he was temporarily detained by us. At this time, a guard hurriedly ran over, bowed and said.
"Oh?" Jason was interested, this kind of person either really wanted to have something important to do with him, or he was the kind of bold assassin, like Jing Ke, of course, Jason didn't think he could compare to the First Emperor.
"You're doing a good job, what about the letter?" Jason complimented, and asked.
"We left it outside the gate. "They were afraid that there was something mysterious in the letter, such as toxic dust and other things that could kill people.
"Present it. Jason nodded, then said.
"Yes, sir. "The guards are worried, but the Marquis's words must be obeyed unconditionally.
"My lord, let me do it for you. Ronnet stepped forward and spoke.
"Well, that's fine. Jason thought for a moment and nodded, Ronat has the strength of a great knight, and he has the ability to solve it if something happens.
A moment later the guard ran back with a letter and handed it to Lonnat.
He opened it in Jason's slightly worried gaze, but nothing happened, just a very ordinary letter.
"My lord, no problem. Ronnatt handed the letter to Jason.
"......" Jason suddenly felt as if he had been a little too cautious.
"Bring the guy outside. After reading the above content, he looked at the guard in front of him and said.
"Yes!"
"My lord, what's wrong?" Ronnet asked, Jason's expression seemed to be amiss.
"See for yourself. He handed the envelope to Lonnat, and there was no secret worth hiding from him anyway.
"This ......," Ronnatt took the letter and skimmed it quickly, a little surprised, for there was only one sentence written on it.
"My dear nephew, aren't you going to meet your uncle?—— Asa Lake"
"What an accident. Jason squinted in the direction of the castle gates.
"After bringing him over in a moment, you can take him to my study. With that, he turned and left.
"Yes, sir. ”
Shouldn't the Marquis of Asa be under house arrest in the royal city by the Marquis of Garcia at this time? How could he appear in the Iron Tooth Castle, which is thousands of miles away from the royal city?
Jason frowned as he walked, wondering if his visit would be a blessing or a curse.
"It doesn't matter, it's a blessing or a curse, you can't avoid it, the soldiers will block the water and cover the earth!" he secretly said in his heart, if his uncle wanted to be unfavorable to him, he shouldn't have come in person.
"Your Excellency, someone has arrived. Jason returned to his study and pondered for a short time when Ronnat's voice came from outside the door.
"Ask him to come in. ”
As soon as he finished speaking, Ronnet pushed the door open, followed by a man in a cloak.
"......" Jason sat in his chair without saying a word, staring at him intensely.
"Long time no see, dear little Jason. The cloaked man took off his big hat and showed a handsome face, his smile was gentle, and his voice was magnetic, just looking like a middle-aged mature uncle who was not inferior to Lancelot.
It was Marquis Asa Lake, Jason's uncle, the kingdom's war falcon, the man who was once second only to King Lopez, who defeated the kingdom of Susin with 30,000 troops, causing it to sign several unequal treaties.
It seems that it is not for nothing that his uncle is called the crush of all the royal nobles.
"Welcome, my dear uncle. Jason stood up, a smile on his face.
"Can you tell me what you're here for?" the next moment the smile on his face disappeared as he asked solemnly.
"You're becoming more and more like a nobleman. The smile on the face of the Marquis of Asa grew brighter: "But do you want me to stand and say? ”
