043.Into the Village (Revised)
"Inhale."
"Pull!"
In the boudoir, Liana finally put on this tight pink dress.
The beauty of the girl's developing body is well revealed.
"Miss, you seem to be happier than last night." Said the maid who grew up with her.
Liana didn't say anything.
Bran's current value is worse than the man she went on a blind date for the first time, and she has to see each other a few more times.
"Congratulations on a successful day."
The maid tied Liana's latest hairstyle.
"If I live well, then you will be able to have food and clothing in the future."
Liana smiled, but her heart was unwilling.
As a woman, she would not be able to share her brothers' land except for the dowry given by her parents, and after seeing the fate of several miserable women from noble backgrounds, she told herself to "choose a husband who is worthy of herself" while she still has value.
She figured out that at the same time, Bran and she got up at about the same time
The two met at dinner in the morning, and they took a walk, and Liana was very direct and asked about Uncle Bran.
She is the pearl of the earl, loved and speaks directly.
Bran just smiled, casually and didn't respond.
Bran didn't show up during the meal, he left the mansion without even saying hello.
He rode his horse to Rabi Village with all his might, to take the mercenary group examination.
Liana waited for a long time, and finally knew that Bran was gone, and became angry.
On the way, Bran was asked by Liana and remembered about his uncle.
He almost had a chance to inherit his uncle's title.
About a year ago, Leonard's current lord, Bran's second uncle, Ge Xiu, was a beautiful male nobleman known in the southern French region.
Accused of having a crush on a "heretical shrine maiden".
Plus stabbing other nobles at a banquet and putting them under house arrest.
Later, Bran learned that his uncle was suffering from alcohol poisoning, and only after a quarrel did he commit murder due to drunkenness.
The accuser was his aunt, whose grandfather had said that the two were unhappy with each other.
My aunt had no children, and according to Frankish law, if my uncle died, she would not receive anything.
Once, Ge Xiu made a will, wanting to pass the title to Bran in some way.
He also sent letters to the manor several times.
But Bran knew that only here, and there was no follow-up.
He didn't know that it was because his aunt had discovered his uncle's secret, so he mixed poppy milk in his uncle's cellar, which made his uncle fall into a delusion, and at a large banquet, his uncle drew his sword and slashed two knights, an earl.
After this incident, under the manipulation of political enemies, the uncle's fief was almost recovered, and only two castles remained, one for the aunt plus a generous alimony, and the other for the uncle.
When it reached Florence, Howard was shocked, he wanted to lift Ge Xiu's house arrest punishment, but now who still sells a broken grand duke's face.
When Bran was an infant, Ge Xiu came to the manor to see him, but at that time Bran did not know who this man was, and after a few years, he had forgotten his appearance, except that Gren's voice was very soft and very deep.
It was said that he looked very similar to his mother.
Among my mother's siblings, there was also a third uncle, Agon, who was fifteen years older than Bran.
Although he was born out of wedlock, he was approved by his grandmother and raised as his own son, so he was able to bear the family name and join the emperor's guard.
However, because of his background, he was criticized, got into a fight with other officers, and began his career as a fugitive after beating people and maiming people.
After several turns, he is now working in Swabia, east of the Franconia.
The king of Swabia at that time was the "yellow-haired (king) de man" who participated in the war in the East in his early years and had yellow and blonde hair.
Agang was fortunate to be the fifth daughter of Deman, and was also given the title of knight and the manor, because of the enmity between the two countries, the loss of power in the family, and the bloody hand case, he could not return to his hometown.
When Bran was three or five years old, Aagon also visited the manor and held Bran in his lap.
Agon's appearance, Bran has an impression, a full beard, muscular, and a big belly like a pregnant woman, a drunkard, thinning hair, the kind of aristocrat that will always be hated the most in the eyes of female nobles.
And he was able to marry the fifth daughter of the king because he won a martial arts competition, and was recruited by the equally brave Deman because of his bravery.
Bran returned to Rabbi this time, and it was much more stable than it had been during the last coup.
More than thirty stinking corpses hung in the piazza made the Florentine night afraid to make trouble.
The mercenary regiments of the country were organized into four units, distributed on all four sides of the city, and the private armed forces owned by the noble councillors were reduced by two and a half, and all of them were organized into a standing regular army, which would protect the trade in goods and the safety of the border.
The Teutonic Mercenary Regiment became one of the four Mercenary Corps teams in the country.
Obtain the Florentine instrument of appointment, legally obtain the right to use a piece of land under the jurisdiction of the government, and allow the construction of a courtyard on it, or the "office of affairs".
The chamber was not subject to the jurisdiction of the local magistrate and was directly supervised by the noble council.
After discussing with his grandfather, Bran placed the location in the village of Rabi, which was actually a good place, and it was located on an important road that extended in all directions, that is, the land was a little barren, but it did not hinder much of a major matter.
The written text indicates that the land use right of "two hundred acres" is also limited, but in fact, the mercenary group will exceed this number and enclose the land dozens of times.
It also states that five goats, three cows, thirty-five pigs, chickens, ducks, and fish are provided by Florence every quarter, and about seventy pounds of meat such as chickens, ducks, and fish, with a little spices, wheat, rye, and barley...... Seven longbows, five swords, twelve spears, and three shields......
These things are not taken for nothing, but the mercenary group has to fight for their lives.
For example, after being cut down and driven out of the other three mercenary groups, there are gangs that make trouble because they cannot find suitable jobs, and even become thieves, which must be requisitioned, and from the end of last year to the present, the Teutonic mercenaries have to be dispatched in small teams every ten days or so, so far, 28 people have been killed and wounded, and the danger is very great.
Bran is a teenager, so naturally it is impossible to travel alone.
He was escorted by four riders.
After a two-day journey, Bran successfully stepped into the outskirts of Rabbi Village at about 8 a.m.
In the cool weather, a few wild dogs are chasing and frolicking, a few farmers are chatting under the trees, and the half-man-tall crops are fluttering in the wind, and at a glance, it is quiet and peaceful.
Half a year ago, Bran himself came once, and compared to the last time, the village in front of him has changed a little, or improved.
