Chapter 357 You don't know what I've been through, I can't stand it while my stomach hurts and I code words
Who connived at the unscrupulous aristocrats?
Death Redemption!
This law was the most important law that changed the empire, and it gave the nobles the courage and confidence to confront the royal family. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
If you win the fight, you get more power and more benefits.
The fight was lost, as soon as the death order was issued, and after a fee was paid, the death penalty became a prison sentence, and the prison sentence became a flogging, and the flogging sentence was pardoned. can also spend a sum of money to let the subordinate take it for himself.
In this kind of situation where winning and gaining countless benefits, and losing does not hurt the muscles and bones, how can the royal family or the golden nobles fight against these more and more aristocratic groups? Maybe they can be pressed at some point, but without the threat of death, they will never give up their desire to compete with the royal family.
The risk is too small, the cost is too low, and the income is too high, which is the core contradiction.
The Sistine did not have the slightest recourse against the nobles, but the nobles could deal with him in various ways. Therefore, in history, there are very few commoners who can be safe after betraying the nobility, and the fate of almost every betrayer is often extremely miserable. This also creates another peculiar phenomenon, that is, the subordinates of the nobility, unless they are undercover agents, it is difficult for anyone to take the initiative to sell for glory.
Wren's choice to the Sistine was undoubtedly ignored by the Sistin, unless Wren or the Empress of Pars gave him a knighthood, even the lowest baron. As long as he also becomes a nobleman, there is a way to deal with those nobles. But this is impossible, no matter which emperor he is, he will not give a smuggler, a lackey of the nobility, a knighthood.
The silence was exchanged for Wren's continuation, "The second way ......", he stretched out two fingers, and Sistin only then noticed the two bronze rings Wren was carrying, and he was somewhat puzzled. You must know that the resources owned by nobles are by no means imaginable by commoners, and the value of the jewelry carried by many nobles often breaks through the sky. Gems the size of a bird's egg are very common, but this great nobleman actually only brought two bronze rings?
Did these two bronze rings have some special meaning to Wren? I heard that Wren's mother still doesn't know who it is, and his father has been dead for a long time, maybe this copper ring is a clue?
Wren's peaceful and gentle voice pulled him back from his blindness, "You continue to be yours, I continue to be mine." You can transport things to the ice field without me noticing you under my nose, that's your job. If I find your flaws, don't blame me for being ruthless. Let's go our own way, and each of us will have our own destiny. ”
Sistin smiled, picked up the glass in his hand, and raised it slightly. The momentum of his whole person suddenly changed dramatically, and the speed of this change was unimaginable. A moment ago, he was a groveling little man, and the only thing that was remembered was his shrewdness and cunning. And at this moment, he really looks like the manager of a smuggling syndicate, a powerful man of the hour.
The transformation from humble to powerful between his eyebrows was so fast that people couldn't react, and he grinned, "I respect you, after all, there are only a handful of nobles like you who can come to Demalagu from the flowery world of the imperial capital, and I should respect you." ”
Wren also picked up the wine glass, and the attitude of the Sistine was already obvious, he was holding a wine glass instead of a teaglass, which meant that it was impossible for the two to "fornicate". He admired Sistine and was a character, but alas, he stood in opposition to himself.
After a glass of wine and parting ways, Wren returned to the Doge's Palace, while Sistin sat at the table, picking up his knife and fork and eating the already somewhat cold food. The temperature in Siukusius was still a little lower, and the steaming food was served cold, and it didn't take long for it to become cold. The chef asked several times if he wanted to heat up the dishes on the plate, but the Sisdin vetoed them. He was thinking about how to expel Wren at the lowest cost.
At the same time, a group of knights of more than fifty people had already approached Siukusius.
They were all dressed in Imperial armor, and even their horses were covered in armor. Demalaghu is close to the ice field, inaccessible to people, and there are many wild beasts. In particular, in order to survive and reproduce, the beasts here have evolved characteristics that distinguish them from the same species in the south. The beasts here have thicker fur, thicker limbs, and larger bodies. Crucially, in order to avoid more ferocious beasts and to capture prey, most of the beasts' fur is silvery-gray or snow-white like ice and snow.
The fur of these beasts also brought them the scourge of killing. In the summer, when the temperature of Demaragu rises a little, the hunters begin to hunt on a large scale, and these white, silver-gray furs will always be cherished by the noble ladies. They love this solid fur coat, and it doesn't matter if they pay a high price for it.
The leader of the group was a dark-skinned young man with a resolute complexion and a faint silhouette of Marven on his face. He is the son of Marven, and he came here to make a career under the transfer of Rennes. The construction of a city is a great feat in itself, and a city not only represents the sovereignty of a region, but also plays a vital role in the military. He didn't want to be a tax collector or a sheriff or something, he wanted to inherit Marven's mantle, so he was now a soldier.
With Wren's care, he started at a much higher step than others, and started directly from the team leader. Colleagues in the military do not resent or envy him for this kind of relationship, but feel that this is a good thing. It is precisely because of the nobles standing behind him that his team will never be deprived of military pay and supplies, and will not be left last in the face of a desperate situation.
When calculating merit, it is often one or two percent more.
The most important thing is that it also means that he has a backer not just himself, but the entire squad, squadron and even the legion.
So why should other people be jealous of this kind of background that is also good for themselves?
This time, he received a summons from Wren and led people to Shukutius to follow Wren's orders. He was also vaguely excited, his father had fought alongside Wren, and now it was his turn to fight alongside Wren.
This made him feel an inexplicable feeling, maybe this is reincarnation.
He will eventually follow the path of his father, and go further than his father!
The outline of the city of Siukusius was already within reach, and he waved his horsewhip and shouted loudly, "Brothers, hurry up, you can still eat hot meals when you enter the city, and if you are later, you will only have to eat cold!"
In the gloomy sky, scattered snowflakes began to fall, and it became more gloomy.
