Chapter 170: Striving and Assurance
"This ........."
Hearing You Lian say this, the faces of the two immediately became a little embarrassed, they look at me, I look at you, but they are embarrassed to speak. Eventually, though, Viscount Bird coughed and spoke.
"Mr. Yuren, I think you saw our previous dispute before General Celtic. β
"That's right. β
Yulian nodded, then looked at the viscount in front of him, waiting for his further explanation.
"Here's the thing......... I suppose you must have an impression of the modestly dressed nobleman, and I can honestly tell you that he is the third-order heir of the Mobius family, named Chelton. In case you don't know, in West, the Mobius family and our Bird family are the two major aristocratic factions that occupy the west and the south, respectively. So, this time, after learning that the Mobis family had sent someone to the Red Fortress, my father ordered me to bring someone to test the situation. After all, for the Bird family, the movements of the Mobius family are also extremely worthy of our attention. β
"It's the same with us. β
Della doesn't say much, but he goes straight to the center just as well.
"The patriarch didn't want the Mobius family to gain any benefit from this, so he sent me to join forces with the Bird family, hoping to suppress the Mobius family. β
Hearing this, the smile on Yulian's face did not change, but Ofaril frowned very dissatisfied, after all, she was once the princess of West, although she had long known about the dirty things among the nobles. But she didn't expect that at the moment when the country was in danger, these nobles couldn't let go of those boring family prejudices, even if the enemy was current, they still had to calculate each other. If this were the same as before, then I'm afraid Offariel would be angry.
But now, she also understands that her identity is no longer a princess, and naturally she is not qualified to be angry with these nobles. But even so, she snorted disapprovingly to express her anger.
Although Ofariel's voice was not loud, it made Viscount Bird and Della even more embarrassed, and they certainly did not know that the young girl was angry because of the intrigue between their nobles. I thought that the other party had seen through my intentions, so I was so dissatisfied -- but who knows whether this is true or not.
"This ......... So after we heard that Lord Yuren had gone to the Red Fortress, this was the ............... Come here and hope to be able to get your help. β
Viscount Bird's words were a little awkward, but the meaning was unmistakable. Obviously, the Byrds don't think they have enough strength to deal with the Morbius family right now, but now that Yuren is gone. Then they hit the idea on Yulian's head, after all, Yulian's strength is there, and no matter what, the two families and Yuren are at least a cooperative relationship. Although there was a little unpleasantness on both sides before, now it is all over. Therefore, it would be great if this young man could be pulled into the gang and calculate the Mobius family together.
Originally, Viscount Bird and Della had the idea of arriving with reinforcements and submitting to Yuren's men, and they were confident that as long as Yulian accepted these reinforcements, then their mission would be half completed. At that time, even if he and the others don't deliberately look for trouble, the Mobis family will take the initiative to come to the door. After all, it's not been a year or two since the two nobles have looked at each other unpleasantly.
As a result, at the moment, their abacus was very good, but they didn't expect that You Lian had already guessed this, and let them say it directly. This really embarrassed Viscount Bird and Della. You must know that although it is nominally a cooperation, everyone knows that this is simply a use, and if you can't say it, everything is easy to say, but once you say it, it ......... "I understand what you mean." β
You Lian nodded, the expression on his face still unchanged.
"But it doesn't seem to have anything to do with me. β
"Of course, we just want to ask for your help, Lord Yuren. In case you didn't know, unlike us Bird, the Morbius family started out in magic, and in fact, they were responsible for supplying court mages to the royal family. Therefore, this family can be regarded as a huge force within the royal family. Although in all respects, our Bird family controls the golden trade route, and as long as there are some dark ones, we can grasp the lifeblood of the other party, but it is clear......... As you know, we Bird family don't even have very many powerful swordsmen, and there are even fewer mages......"
Viscount Bird's face was a little helpless, after all, the Bird family has never been famous for their military force, they have strong financial resources and connections, otherwise how could they have confronted such an old nobleman for so long?
Of course, most of the time, money solves a lot of problems. But there are times when money doesn't work so well - just like now.
Therefore, they urgently need military support, and Yulian is the best choice.
In fact, the Viscount of Juventus originally did not plan to come here, although he was very confident in his talents, but this lord was really difficult to deal with, and every time he made a deal with him, he had to pay a lot of price. In order to make him an ally of the Bird family, he had made great efforts to carve out three small towns and some gold trading routes, which had already caused dissatisfaction within the family. Juventus had to do it, and he knew exactly what it meant. And now, he has to make a deal on behalf of the family, and God knows what this lord lion will order this time. In fact, before he came, he had gone back and forth with Della, but the result was frustrating. If in the past, Yulian could be said to have no money and no people, and his territory was narrow, then now he has enough sources of income, and he has an extraordinary city, surrounded by so many beautiful girls. For a man, what can be obtained, Yulian has basically gotten it. Of course, perhaps status is an exception. But no matter what Viscount Bird thinks, he doesn't think that a high-level swordsman will have the heart to pay attention to whether his title is a viscount or a marquis.
The most fearful thing about doing business is not knowing what the customer needs. And now, Yulian clearly falls into this category.
"Absolutely. β
To Viscount Bird's surprise, Yulian nodded and agreed without the slightest hesitation this time.
"After all, I am also an alliance with your family, and it is only natural that I do something for my allies, and since you need my help, then I will naturally not refuse. β
So easy to talk to?
Viscount Bird and Della couldn't help but look at each other, they didn't expect things to develop like this, isn't this lord the type of goose plucking?
"Well, Yuren-sama, you really ......"
"Of course. β
Yulian nodded again, and then smiled sincerely, warmly, and sincerely.
"I've always kept my promise, both of you, your family and I have a good relationship, and it's my responsibility to help my allies out of some troubles, whether it is reasonable or not. Moreover, the Mobius family is not in my eyes. Rest assured, no matter what the family wants to do, I can assure you that he will never succeed. β
"Then please, my lord. β
Although Viscount Bird and Della were still a little puzzled in their hearts, since Yulian had already said it so clearly, they couldn't say anything more, so they had to agree. But in any case, things are still quite smooth, which makes them half relieved, which makes the mood of the two improve a lot.
"Of course, Lord Yuren, I have some personal suggestions, please be careful with that fat man...... His name was Clark, and he was a member of a noble family, and I heard that this man was very cunning and somewhat lustful. Of course, I don't think he's going to make a name for himself in this fortress. But as a troublesome character, he still has some difficult subordinates to deal with. I'm sure you've heard from the Celtic generals that some of the nobles in this fortress were sent to their deaths. And this Clark is the leader of those guys who were sent to die. We don't know what the reason for this is...... In short, caution is better. β
"I see. β
You Lian nodded, and the image of the fat man sitting on the sofa before came to his mind, and on the surface, it was absolutely impossible to see that this guy was sent to be cannon fodder. Looking at his extravagant and extravagant appearance, he looks like an arrogant nouveau riche no matter how you look at it, but now it seems that there is another hidden meaning in this.
But now, this is not a concern for Yuren, because at that moment, there was a sudden knock at the door. Charlotte, on the other hand, bowed slightly, and then turned to leave the room. Looking at this scene, Della's expression was a little complicated. As a member of the Zack family, he naturally saw that this Miss Charlotte was actually the eldest lady of the Zack family before, and if he wanted to talk about it, he personally poisoned this eldest lady in the first place. And now, this person who has obviously been confirmed dead is resurrected in front of him, which really makes Dra's mood difficult to calm down. He subconsciously glanced at Yu Lian, and in the end he could only shake his head secretly. In fact, Della didn't tell her master about Charlotte, and even he didn't know how to speak. But what puzzled Della was that no matter how she observed, she couldn't see that the former eldest lady had any impression of herself. How is this possible? Could it be that she is really not the eldest lady?
While Della was thinking, Charlotte had already returned to her room, and this time, unlike before, she was followed by two servants dressed as stewards, neatly dressed, with shiny hair, and even her skin showing a sickly pale. The two men were also extremely arrogant, they straightened their backs and walked in. After seeing Ofaril and the other girls, the eyes of these two people lit up. There was a certain greedy glow, but soon the men retracted their eyes and put on a haughty look again.
"Master, these two are envoys from the Mobius family. β
It's really Cao Ying, Cao Ying is here.
Hearing Charlotte's introduction, Viscount Bird and Della immediately became serious, and they looked at the two stewards in front of them with a bit of mockery, thinking that it was really better to come early than to come. As soon as the agreement was negotiated, the Mobis family sent someone to send him to death. But they were also a little curious, what was the Mobis family doing when they came to Yuren? Is it a plan to dig a corner? But it's not so open-minded, right?
"Hello. β
The old steward at the head nodded politely but reservedly to Youlian slightly, which was regarded as a salute - his nod was unique, first tilting his head up, and then gently nodding his chin as a greeting. In fact, this kind of etiquette, no matter how you look at it, does not carry any meaning of bowing to people.
"We are the stewards of the Mobius family, and this time we have come with Lord Chelton's orders. β
He finished coldly, then stretched out his hand and handed out the letter in his hand.
Idiot!
Viscount Bird and Della, who were sitting on the sidelines, answered inwardly at the same time. Of course, they know very well, don't look at the young lord's smile now, which is very gentle and polite, as if people and animals are harmless and anyone can be bullied, and when they are really trapped, there is no place to cry. Viscount Bird, in particular, suffered even more. That's why such a serious psychological shadow has fallen, so that even a casual sentence can make him think about it for a long time. And now, this steward actually dared to behave so arrogantly in front of Yu Lian, this is clearly looking for death!
Sure enough, although the steward was arrogant and cold, Yulian didn't seem to take it to heart, he just made a gesture, and then Charlotte took the letter and handed it to Yulian's side. Then, Yulian opened the letter, and after seeing the contents, he raised his eyebrows.
Hurting a family member?
Like Viscount Bird, Yulian didn't know how the Mobius family would suddenly come to him. According to his thoughts, it was probably because he was too conspicuous in front of the Celtic generals, so the Mobis family might invite him to find out. But now, this possible surname has been ruled out. Because right now, on Yulian's letterhead, it is clearly written that the Mobis family found that someone on their side had hurt members of the Mobius family, so they asked Yulian to hand over the murderer and they tried and dealt with it.
Not to mention the arrogance and arrogance revealed between the lines in this letter, the content alone is enough to make Monk You Lian Zhanger puzzled.
"Which of you did it?"
After briefly reading the contents of the letter, Yulian raised his head and asked.
"I don't know, master, I've never heard of this family. β
Charlotte was the first to answer.
"Me too, Your Excellency, I can assure you. β
Standing at the door, Judi, who was in charge of guarding, thought about it for a while and gave the same answer.
Well............ "the Messiah doesn't know." β
"Semiya doesn't know. β
The twin sisters also shook their heads in denial, obviously not knowing.
"It's useless to quibble. β
However, the representatives of the Mobius family apparently did not think so. They still held their heads high, their expressions indifferent.
"We have witnesses who can prove that some of you have harmed members of the Mobius family, and this is an ironclad fact that you cannot quibble!"
Contrary to the expressions of Charlotte and the others, Yulian noticed that Viscount Bird, Della, and O'Fariel, who were sitting on the side, looked like they were about to say something. Apparently, they seem to know something.
"I'll look into it. β
Yuren gestured.
"You can go back. β
"My master only gives you three days. β
In the face of Yu Lian's words, the head steward still had no change in his expression. He was still the same cold look, and after dropping these words, the two of them immediately turned around and left the room, not paying attention to Yulian at all.
And just after the two left, O'Faryl stepped forward and spoke quietly.
"Lord Yuren, things may be a little troublesome......
"What's the trouble?"
"Do you remember when we first traveled to the Zach family's domain, you clashed with a court mage over me?"
"It seems like there's such a thing. β
Hearing Ofariel's reminder, Yulian vaguely remembered that there seemed to be such a thing. Could it be that O'Fariel meant............ "I think you also heard from Mr. Viscount just now that the Mobius family is responsible for providing mages for the royal family, could it be .........?"
"I see. β
Yulian nodded, interrupting O'Faryl's speech, after all, there were outsiders present at the moment, and it was difficult to say too clearly. However, when he turned his eyes, he found that Viscount Bird and Della had also tilted their heads with considerable interest, and began to study the paintings on the floor and the sculptures on the stone pillars. Although the conversation between Julien and O'Faryl didn't involve any personal matters, in order to avoid being overheard, O'Faryl inevitably moved closer and moved a little intimately. In addition, she already has the identity of You Lian's fiancΓ©e, so the two bystanders immediately "don't look, don't listen, and don't say anything".
And it was only then, after seeing the movements of the two, that Offariel seemed to realize what she had just done, and a slight flush suddenly appeared on her face, and then the girl immediately left, quickly keeping a distance not far from Yuren, and bowed her head at the same time.
"I was rude just now, Mr. Viscount, do you have anything to tell me?"
"That's right, Lady Yuren. β
After looking back and making sure that there was no rudeness, Viscount Bird spoke with a wry smile.
"Actually, the Mobis family said that you hurt their family members, and this is really not an unfounded slander. β
"Oh?"
You Lian raised his eyebrows.
"How?"
"Do you remember when you had a drinking party in the twilight forest, you used to ............... Well, this ...... There were two less polite guests. β
β.................. What do you mean?"
"I wanted to warn you at the time, but you refused to let me speak, and now I can tell you that those two are members of the Mobius family..............."
