Chapter 384: The Marquis's Last Wish
readx;? Anyway, at this time, the Marquis was seriously injured, this is not good news, Meng Han received the news and rushed back desperately, and even for the sake of degree, he directly asked the little witch to take Dai Tuna without urging the armored carriage, except for Joey and Julie, all the other guards were thrown down and let them ride back, but he flew back with the girls quickly.

The little witch's control arm Diana was much faster, and in less than two days, Meng Han saw Huangsha City. The lord's carriage flew down in the lord's mansion, which did not surprise most people, and now the armored carriage is also famous, and many people talk about it.
When Meng Han arrived, the Marquis was already dying, and the huge wound on his body showed people what kind of attack he had endured. Without saying a word, Meng Han directly took the staff of life from Joey's hand and put it on the body of the Marquis. In the principality, Lord Marquis can be said to be Meng Han's current dependence, and if he wants to get out of trouble, he will be in great trouble.
Strangely, Meng Han did not see the figure of Fuhusis. On such an occasion, Fuhusis was not there, which made Meng Han very dissatisfied with him.
No matter how important it is to compete for the position of the Grand Duke, it is not as important as the safety of his father, right? Moreover, the guards around the Marquis are like great enemies, and it is difficult to imagine what has happened.
Before they could ask these guards what had happened to the Marquis, the power of the Staff of Life quickly made the Marquis wake up from his coma. When he opened his eyes and saw Meng Han, Lord Tong Jue showed a relieved expression.
"Among my people, there are assassins from my hometown. Lord Marquis only used one sentence to let Meng Han understand what was born. The fortress is the easiest to attack from the inside, and no matter how strong the defense of the armored carriage is, it cannot withstand the existence of a traitor.
Lord Marquis's breath was dying, and now he was able to come to his senses, completely relying on the power of the Staff of Life, and even Meng Han could already see that Lord Marquis actually couldn't last long. The injury is serious, and it is a miracle to be able to support it until now, and the staff of life, at most, can make the Marquis sober up for a while.
"Francis is in my way, he's dead. When the Marquis said this, there were tears in his eyes, but there was indescribable pride on his face. Meng Han can completely imagine the mood of the marquis, an original gentleman, when his father is in danger, he will block himself in front of his father without hesitation, how sad the marquis will be as a father, and how proud a father will be if such a change occurs!
Francis died, and Meng Han's heart sank suddenly. The gentleman who started with him actually died like this, just when the Marquis was able to seize the position of the Grand Duke and the future was bright. The Marquis also became like this, and Meng Han suddenly had a realization, is this kind of politics of fighting for power and profit really not suitable for him to play?
Although Meng Han and Francis are strictly speaking, they have not reached the point of being friends of life and death, and they have not done anything to share the hardships of life and death. However, Francis was the first nobleman to befriend Meng Han, and although Francis also watched the things in his later life, he finally stood firmly on Meng Han's side when Meng Han needed to open the situation the most. His death, Meng Han was equally angry. "What about the old guy, are you still alive?" Meng Han just asked through gritting his back molars.
"I'm still alive, but it's better to live than to die, it's worse than now!" Lord Marquis looked at Meng Han's expression and smiled with relief, but he immediately touched his injuries and showed a painful expression.
"What do you need me to do?" Meng Han knew that the Marquis must have something to explain if he insisted on coming here, so he didn't hesitate and asked directly. The appearance of the Marquis seems to be unable to drag it out.
"You are the only one in the principality right now. The Marquis struggled and said: "There is no direct heir on my side, the living people are all gentlemen, only you and I admire, you go to be the Grand Duke!"
"I'm the Grand Duke?" Hearing the words of the Marquis, even with Meng Han's calmness, he was taken aback. If being a Grand Duke is the fate of the Grand Duke and the Marquis, Meng Han will not be happy.
"I also have a large number of loyal subordinates, none of whom are prestigious enough to be the Grand Duke, only you are suitable. The Marquis's voice became lower and lower: "At least follow you, you will not be poor! If you don't come out, the Duchy will be invaded by other principalities, and it will be difficult for these subordinates to maintain their current position." Only you are suitable!"
Even said that only you are suitable, which made Meng Han bow his head and ponder. Lord Marquis seemed to have exhausted all his strength, but he didn't get a response from Meng Han, and he was still holding on, looking at Meng Han with great anticipation.
After a long time, Meng Han raised his head and nodded at Lord Marquis: "Don't worry, I will arrange it!" Although he did not directly agree to Lord Marquis's request, he still gave Lord Marquis a promise that was not a promise.
Seeing this, the Marquis smiled again: "Donald, you will follow the Earl in the future!" As soon as he gave the order, the loyal servant who had been serving the Marquis's side, Mr. Donald, the Marquis's butler, immediately stepped forward and shouted loudly with tears in his eyes: Yes. Then he turned around and saluted Meng Han with a big salute: "My lord!"
Seeing that Donald had already stood behind Meng Han after the salute, Lord Marquis finally showed a relaxed expression, looked at Meng Han and said: "Donald has the contact information of everyone, and he can also command them, I have already instructed the leaders among them, you lead them, there is no objection, they are handed over to you!" "Don't worry!" Meng Han once again gave Lord Marquis a guarantee.
The Marquis finally reached the point where the oil ran out, stretched out his hand, grabbed Meng Han's hand, shook it tremblingly, and then couldn't hold it anymore, and hung down softly. Donald, who was behind Meng Han, cried out in great grief: "Lord Marquis!" fell to his knees and wept bitterly. The few people who were originally behind Donald also fell to their knees and wept.
From Meng Han to see the Marquis, it was only a short ten minutes, and the Marquis passed away. Meng Han looked at the Marquis who had closed his eyes, but he couldn't tell whether he was sad or sighing. The two most powerful people in the principality, one is better than death, and the other is dead, what is the point of fighting for it?
The bureau manager of the Boulder Castle, Meng Han didn't want to know. Lord Marquis's last request, Meng Han didn't even know whether to be ecstatic or worried. However, one thing is certain, if Meng Han is willing, with the power that the Marquis already has in his hands and the guarantee that Meng Han can bring everyone a prosperous life, the position of the Grand Duke is within reach. However, Meng Han was not sure whether he liked to be this grand duke.
Meng Han did not object to the addition of officials to the knighthood, but to suddenly make himself the master of the principality, Meng Han was not mentally prepared. Moreover, once he became the Grand Duke, Meng Han had to assume the responsibility of the entire principality, and this responsibility was not something that Meng Han was willing to bear.
"My lord, what should we do now?" Meng Han was thinking about when Donald's butler's voice sounded, very respectful. Meng Han looked up at Donald's butler, but he saw that the people behind him were all a group of nobles who held military power before. Now facing Meng Han, they are equally respectful. No need to ask, as soon as Lord Hou's army and forces withdrew from the Boulder Castle, the two Yin His Majesty couldn't wait to start infighting, fighting hard, desperately fighting for the position of the heir of the Grand Duke. When the Marquis said that life is better than death, he meant so.
As long as Meng Han is willing, the army can fight back to the Boulder Castle at any time, and the position of the Grand Duke is also within reach, and now, Mr. Donald is waiting for Meng Han's decision. He already understood that Meng Han didn't seem to be very interested in the position of Grand Duke, but Mr. Donald understood very well that whoever had Meng Han's current life and power would not care about the position of an Grand Duke. Although Meng Han was only an earl, he was no worse than an archduke.
"Mr. Donald, if I say that I am not a Grand Duke, I can arrange your life well, and I can also let you enjoy the power and glory of the Marquis when he was the Grand Duke, do you believe it or not?" After listening to Mr. Donald's narration, Meng Han asked very seriously.
"If someone else had said it, we wouldn't have believed it. But this is what you said, Lord Count Antonio, and we believe it!" Mr. Donald replied with the same seriousness: "We will never doubt what you say!" "You all have a good rest first, and I will give you a satisfactory arrangement, I promise!" Nodding, Meng Han commanded.
Seeing off Mr. Donald, Meng Han leaned his body back on the high-backed chair for a while, closed his eyes for a while, opened his eyes and said, "Invite Princess Kai Lilin here!" After staying up all night for several days, I was so tired, and I finally rushed out.
