Chapter 3: Stratagem (I)
(PS: Thanks to the following book friends for their tips: @εθΏθ 3, @ε ζε ±ζ; thanks for the tips!)
The sun rises and the moon sets, and the time of two days is fleeting;
By noon on the third day, the whole camp was silent, and the little chamberlain of the Lord Sir stood guard outside the tent door with a short sword. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info
The guards, except those on duty, were all sitting or lying down in the shade of the trees, and although it was autumn, it was still very hot, and the slightest movement was covered with sweat.
After dinner, it was very comfortable to lie in the shade of the trees.
Little Hubi held the hilt of his sword in his left hand, and his face was dripping with sweat, and his eyes looked as if he were guarding the king's treasury;
There was a meeting going on inside the tent.
"Sir, according to the investigation of these two days" Highbury half-knelt under the hall, his body ragged:
"Castle Steward, Captain of the Castle Protector"
"And the gang led by them, basically have something to do with Baron White or his close nobles"
As he spoke, he took out a list from his bosom and handed it out with both hands;
Sir Seta Feeney, sitting above, nodded at George Luther, who immediately got up and took the papers, and turned to hand them in.
Sir Seta Finney put away the pocket watch in his hand, took the paper, it was a piece of parchment, opened it directly with a slight shake, and looked at it carefully with a slight frown;
There are a lot of people, fifteen people! How many managers are there in the entire territory? It is estimated that more than half of them are here!
But what does it matter? Whether they have a relationship or not, they are not familiar with each other, and it is best to have this opportunity to replace them.
Thinking so, he folded the parchment and put it in his cuffs, which was regarded as acknowledging that the people on the list belonged to the 'traitor' column, and then coughed lightly:
"Get up, Highbury, and sit too"
The captain of the guard knelt down in rags, and at this time, Wen Yan's heart suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that he had passed the inspection of the Lord Sir, and he had now entered the core team of the Finney family!
Although this position is not very secure, as long as you continue to work hard, you will be able to achieve your goal one day!
Highbury suppressed the joy in his heart, bowed his head and said:
"Yes, Sir!"
Hans Duck and George Luther looked at each other, and their hearts moved:
"It seems that you can't underestimate this big man!"
It is already remarkable that a person from a free man with no education of a few days can do this, and most importantly, he can actually write!
Sir Seta Finney looked at the three men seated in the hall:
This is my current team, although they are not talents, but they have the qualifications to cultivate;
Let's start with this action!
Ser Seta Feeney sat up straight, and his face became serious:
"According to the news from Highbury, the situation is not optimistic"
"At present, almost the upper echelons of the entire territory will be our enemies!"
After a pause, he turned his head to look at the senior knight squire sitting at the top of his left hand:
"Hans, what do you think?"
Hans Darker immediately stood up and bowed:
"It's very serious, Sir"
"We may have to do a major change of blood to ensure that your orders are carried out!"
"Take complete control of the territory!"
Ser Seta Finney nodded and sat him down, then turned his head again:
"George, what about you, what do you think?"
George Luther stood up, smiled and bowed:
"It's my pleasure to serve you, Sir" stood up straight:
"Actually, I also have a piece of information here, please allow me to report it to you!"
Sir Seta Finney's eyes narrowed slightly, and he smiled with some expectation:
"Of course, George, you say it!"
Luther's squire put away the smile on his face:
"Sir, I have a relative who is a merchant and he often goes to Finney and tells me a rumor"
"What rumors?" said Sir leaned slightly to make himself comfortable;
"On the Wushan Mountain in the territory, there is a group of robber knights, who should be members of the White family"
Highbury, who was sitting on the side, was shocked when he heard this:
"This rumorγγγγγγ οΌβ
Highbury had also heard this rumor in the past two days, but he had no choice to believe it!
Time is too tight, and information that can't be confirmed can't be reported!
But it seems to be true at this time! Looking up at the senior knight squire standing in the hall, Highbury's heart tightened:
"Am you wrong?!"
"I missed a big credit!"
If this rumor is true, then Highbury can come up with at least 2 ways to easily dispose of the 'moths' in the territory in an instant!
Highbury's breathing quickened slightly:
"Don't worry, you still have a chance!"
When Ser Seta Finney heard this, his thoughts raced:
"Someone else's white glove in your own territory?"
It was certainly not a pleasant thing, but it had a special effect, and Ser Seta Feeney smiled:
"Go on, George, I'd love to hear what you think!"
"Yes, sir" George Luther also rejoiced:
It seems that the decision was the right one!
He is indeed a noble child, but he is only the youngest son who has no inheritance rights, and if he has the right to inherit, he will not come to the Finney family, but will be sent to Hugo Castle.
What do you exercise day and night for?!
Become a true nobleman, not just a nobleman's family!
These thoughts were only momentary matters, and everyone only saw George Luther's squire smiling and saluting with great grace;
Only Sir Seta Feeney, who has fused divinity and become a divine creature, has a perception, and the strong thought fluctuations at that moment, the corners of his mouth are slightly upturned:
"What a fateful choice?"
George Luther quickly went through his thoughts before he said:
"Sir, I don't think we need to clean up those moths directly, because doing so would damage the honor of the Finney family."
Everyone nodded slightly, and the servant who directly killed him naturally would not have a good reputation! Not to mention that there was a rival family behind this!
George Luther observed everyone's reactions, especially the change in his lord's complexion, and the result was not bad, at least Sir did not frown, and slightly let go of the tension in his heart:
"When the time comes, you can take all the people on that list to suppress the bandits together, and then let them all die heroically!"
"Sir, that's what I suggest"
Ser Seta Finney began to play with the gold watch again, and the golden streamers shuttled in the palm of his hand;
To be honest, he was a little surprised, not because of how good the idea was, but because he simply harvested a good talent seed!
Thinking so, Ser Seta Finney laughed and stood up:
"George, that's a good idea!" patted the squire on the shoulder and turned his head:
"Highbury, do you have any news about the Robber Knight?"
Highbury's heart is heavy now:
It would have been nice if he had believed the rumor, for it was clear that Sir was interested in the idea!
"Yes, sir, I've heard that rumor."
"It's just that it hasn't been verified yet, so I don't dare to report it"
Sir Seta Feeney didn't blame anything, after all, it had only been two days, and it was already very good that Highbury had been able to do this:
"Get up, Highbury, you're doing a great job this time, I'm satisfied" Turning to look at the three in front of him:
"Let's do George's way first!"
