Chapter 210: The Battle Begins

"Father, what the hell is going on with Mr. Nader? You didn't write in detail in your letter, except that he didn't come back, don't you know where he went?" As soon as he entered the door, Jonas gave the order to leave to the soldiers standing outside the door, and he touched the wall of this room when he first entered, it was very thin, and there was no heavy stone added to it, which means that the sound insulation of this room was not good, and he didn't want what he said today to become a joke in other people's mouths tomorrow. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Seeing that the soldiers were gone, and no one was moving in the hallway, Jonas moved half of his body out of the door into the door, closed the door, and after applying the insurance, he tugged the doorknob to make sure that he would not be disturbed by anyone during the conversation, and then left the door with peace of mind.

Walking to the seat where Andreas and Jung were already seated, he chose a random position and sat down, and there were many candles lit next to him, and there were 6 candles burning at the same time, which allowed Jonas to see at a glance that there would be no shadows anywhere in this room, so as to ensure that there would be no accidents during their speech, and Jonas could even see the slight crow's feet on Jung's face.

Of course, this was not the main thing for them, but their next conversation, which was the reason why he brought Andreas to Jung for a secret conversation, and the first thing he wanted to talk about was the whereabouts of Mr. Nader.

"Jonas, I was also surprised by the disappearance of Father Nader, when the letter you gave me reached my hands, the last letter that Father Nader gave me was half a month ago in this letter, and the content written on it was still about you and Andreas, and it didn't say where he was going at all, when I received your letter, I sent someone to Nader's church to find out about the situation with his godsons and nuns, but no one told me where Father Nader was, as if they themselves were at a loss with Nader's disappearance, I'm sorry, Jonas, this is the result I got, Nader seems to have really disappeared。 “

Jung's expression looked very lost, Father Nader was not only his child's teacher, but also his teacher, and would always correct him when he made mistakes, so that he would not be too wrong, this is a teacher that he respects, and now he has no news of him, and because of his willfulness, it took ten days for Jonas to send a message to be received by himself, which is undoubtedly a great sense of guilt for a person with high self-esteem like Jung.

Looking at Jung's guilty expression, Jonas could only be silent, in his eyes, the people who should know Nader's whereabouts the most said they didn't know, and he really didn't know who he had to ask to know where Teacher Nader had gone, and then looked at Andreas on the side, who was also thinking, but thinking was useless, this was a fruitless thinking.

The room was quiet like this, and the summer cicadas didn't know where they had flown at the moment, and there was no sound at all, which made Jonas feel a little uncomfortable, and now he actually hoped that there would be some noise outside so that they could continue to turn their brains, and look at Jung's expression now, the guilt on his face was written on his face, which was definitely not a good thing.

"Well, at least we haven't gotten some bad news yet, have we, anyone got bad news about Nader?" Jonas looked at Jung and Andreas who fell into silence, and felt that he was stupid enough to put Nader's problem first, he knew that this problem could only be an unsolvable problem now, and the best result he got was no result, and he was the first to mention it because he cared about Nader, which is really something that only a child would do.

So he quickly opened his mouth and chose to put this embarrassing question aside for the time being, and after seeing the two people with their eyes on him because of his speech, and shaking their heads to indicate that they really did not receive bad news from Nader, Jonas said the following paragraph in an almost witty way.

"Yes, there's no bad news, so we're here to grieve, blame ourselves, and feel guilty? Nader may just want to play hide and seek with us, or maybe he wants to go out and relax, anyway, he's definitely still alive in this world, isn't it, at least we shouldn't be thinking about giving him a funeral now, but about giving him a welcome ceremony?"

Jonas knew that his words didn't mean anything, but he also knew that the three people sitting here now, including himself, didn't need this matter to become meaningful, all they needed was to get by on their conscience, and Jonas just provided a reason for their conscience to live.

"Yes, Jonas, you're right, maybe we should think about it better, if Mr. Nader came back and knew that we were only thinking about his funeral during the time he was away, I believe me he would have laughed at it until he actually went into the coffin. “

Andreas was the first to respond to the reason thrown out by his brother, he and Jonas are the same kind of people, of course, just in terms of thinking about a person, they are just the same kind of people, not in terms of IQ, just like now, he will be the first to stand up and accept Jonas's judgment, but in normal times, for his brother, Andreas will more often talk to Jonas with the inherent reserve of some knowledgeable people.

But compared to their father, the two of them are brothers.

Andreas's view of Nader's departure is actually much simpler than Jung's, in his mind, this is a thing with only two results, one result is that Nader is back, then everything they are doing now is like a fool doing a math problem seriously, there is no possibility of solving the problem, and the other result is that Nader did not come back, of course there are many possibilities behind this, death, disappearance, going somewhere else, but his result is the same, that is, Nader is gone.

And in Andreas's opinion, the three of them together can't solve it, Europe is too big, not to mention the surrounding Africa and Asia, this is an incomparably huge area, just because the three of them want to find Nader from these hundreds of millions of square kilometers, it is tantamount to a dream, for this kind of impossible thing, Andreas is unwilling to do.

So he chose to support Jonas's remarks, using a joke to temporarily take the matter away from the table where they were talking, and to bring the conversation back to the topic that could be accomplished, rather than sitting against each other with a look of guilt until sleepiness hits.

Jung listened to Jonas and Andreas's remarks, and the expression on his face really improved a lot, in fact, in his heart, he was also telling him rationally that no matter what he did, it was just useless, but the long-term chivalry and the sense of responsibility that matched this spirit made him unable to let go, and now, his two sons obviously gave him an acceptable reason, so Jung naturally took it.

Jonas watched Andreas's answer, and Jung's mood improved, and he felt that it was really a wise decision to bring Andreas to this conversation this time, a calm lobbyist, in the face of his own mistakes, can give help, this is indeed Andreas in addition to academic studies, Jonas can use a skill.

"Alright, father, let's wish Mr. Nader a good time, and now we're going to talk about this Piedmontese affair. “

Jung's mood finally continued to be low under the influence of Nader, and Jonas naturally did not bring up this topic again, so as to avoid accidentally bringing Jung into the atmosphere of disappearance, so that the conversation could not be carried out rationally, so Jonas immediately gave a conclusion to this topic, and put what is happening in Piedmont on the table.

"Say it. Jung nodded, said these three words very rarely, and then leaned back in his chair, and sat and looked in the direction of Jonas, waiting for him to speak.

"Father, do you have any news about the Earl of Il after we left?" Jonas's words were a little inexplicable, obviously to discuss the matter of Piedmont, but the first sentence that Jonas said was Il, which had nothing to do with Piedmont, and this first sentence was to ask Jung for information about Il, which was obviously not aimed at Piedmont, but directed at Il.

But the other two people present did not have any surprises, Andreas was not surprised, this was expected by Jonas, but his father was not surprised, which made Jonas a little surprised, at this time, Jung should not have stared at himself with wide eyes and kept asking "why?" with a black question mark face, instead of a calm face like now.

This is actually Jonas underestimating his father, Jung is not stupid, he is just a little slow to react compared to his own children, when Jonas brought himself and Andreas into his own room, and avoided the others, Jung could feel that what Jonas was going to talk about could not be known to more people, and these people must be one of the people in Bierro's territory.

And these things that can't be known must not be related to the people in Bilro's territory, otherwise before he arrived, Jonas would not have been able to run Bilro so well, you know, Bilro's news will spread to Saluzzo's own territory every once in a while, and Bilro's changes are naturally clear in the eyes of Jung and Sandra.

In order to have such a change, even if Jonas is extremely smart, he can't do it alone, so those bureaucrats who were originally loyal to Viscount Stark, that is, his father-in-law, must be doing their best to help their son, and only in this way can they do it, and the rest of the knight class is easier to judge.

This is a group of people who swear allegiance, except in rare cases, it is absolutely impossible for them to betray their master except on the day of death, which is a definite thing in a world ruled by Catholicism, which makes the Piedmontese problem mentioned by Jonas out of suspicion of the people in Birlo.

And the rest, what needs to be guarded against now in Birlo, is naturally the man he brought, and to put it more clearly, it is the local nobles who are loyal to Il. And behind them, of course, is the Earl of Il, for this, Jung saw very clearly, and it was also a wise decision in Jung's opinion not to let the officials of Bierro come in to discuss together, after all, there are many people, and loud talk is undoubtedly reckless in such an emergency now, and the fewer people who know, the better.

So when his son said that he wanted to tell him about the situation of Il, Jung was not surprised, this had long been in his guess, and Jung found the disappearance of those people in the coastal town, the investigation to the bottom of the matter, and finally pointed to the suspicion of the city near Lango, where Il lived at that time, which undoubtedly made Il a little blurred in Jung's eyes, this is a person who has hidden himself, and behind what he covered, it involves the news of the disappearance of tens of thousands of people。

This matter has always been in Jung's heart, and his people have been secretly investigating until now, in his opinion, there must be some unknown truth behind this matter, and now, his own child wants to let himself tell him the traces of the Count of Il during this time, and this matter is naturally in the list of things that Jung told his child.

Jonas and Andreas listened to their father's judgment on the cause and process of this incident and his and Sandra's judgment, and their first reaction was surprise and disbelief, they had never heard of this matter, and Monferratto and Saluzzo had not heard anything about this matter at all, that is, it was very likely that only their father had obtained some clues about this matter, while the others had no information at all due to certain factors.

This gave Jonas goosebumps all over his body, the disappearance of tens of thousands of people, which is definitely a terrible thing, you must know that the total population of Bierro's territory is only 10,000, and now the number of missing people in Monferrato is at least 10,000, which is really big news.

"Dad, if this matter is really related to Earl of Il, I think, let's stop the investigation for the time being, the current situation, we need the support of Earl of Il, and after the end of the war, we need Earl of Il to improve the status of our family, at this time, there can be no contradiction between us. “

After pondering for a long time, Jonas finally chose to dissuade Jung's behavior, his actions were too dangerous, even if according to Jung, it was a secret investigation, but those investigators could not guarantee that they would not be 100% undetected by Il, and for the current Ruger family, as long as Il's detection, then the first to die is his own abandoned son, who will be abandoned by him.

Naturally, Jonas couldn't accept this, let alone let it happen, so he had to remind Jung's actions to be cautious.

Jung nodded, but did not speak, obviously he already had a fixed opinion in his mind, and Jonas's words could only serve as a reference rather than a decisive role.

At the end of the day, Jung was a lord after all.

The conversation went on late, from Il to Bierro, from his children to his siblings in Saluzo and his mother who is now taking care of them, and in the end, Andreas and Jonas did not leave Jung's room, but the rare father and son slept in the same room.

Of course, Andreas and Jonas slept on the bed, while Jung could only sleep on the couch.

After that, perhaps the surrounding neighboring forces also knew that Jonas's strength had increased slightly, Bierro ushered in a rare period of calm, and even the harassment around the territory was reduced a lot, and Jonas rarely received news that a village was attacked by bandits, and during this time, Jonas naturally would not miss it, the reorganization of the soldier military system, and the integration of all the armies for cooperative training, all kinds of work are being carried out in an orderly manner.

It wasn't until ten days later that a piece of news came that the superficial peace was finally torn to pieces by the furious thunder of heaven.

The League of Nobles in the south of Piedmont, supported by Genaya, launched an attack on the Viscount League, which was also supported by the Duchy of Savoy, on the morning of the same day.

War, and then came. (To be continued.) )
