A month later, on the Monday of the second week, Ilr issued a rare summoning order to the entire territory, ordering all nobles above the viscount to arrive in Toriyama City to participate in the meeting within four days, Jonas naturally received this order, looking at the name signed by Il, Jonas sighed, it seems that a war is really going to break out. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Two days later, Andreas arrived in the territory of Ruger, at this moment Jonas had already prepared his bags, and as soon as Andreas arrived, he took his younger brother to Toriyama City, at this time, they naturally did not need to make a sedan chair again to rush to Toriyama City, the two of them rode their own war horses, and it only took one day to arrive at Toriyama City, which was one day earlier than the time Il had scheduled.

Looking at the Toriyama Castle in front of you, it is very different from ten years ago, the area of Toriyama Castle has expanded more than ten times compared to ten years ago, many places that originally belonged to the wilderness have become beautiful buildings, and outside the castle, there are hundreds of hectares of grass and gardens, and it is the end of summer at the moment, and the sweetness in the air is so strong that people are greasy, and the aroma of grass fills the entire Toriyama Castle.

At this moment, on the road leading to Toriyama City, many carriages and armies galloped on it, Jonas knew many people, and many people did not know, but there were many people who greeted him and Andreas, and a considerable number of them were nobles from Montferrato, and Jonas also smiled and saluted them back, looking like an excellent heir.

After passing through the three layers of defense, the two smoothly entered the walls of Bird Mountain City, and they were received by a handsome young man, who introduced himself very humbly, and told Jonas and Andreas that he would follow them twenty-four hours a day in the castle to facilitate their movements, as for Il, Il is dealing with a lot of things at the moment, and he still needs to meet many people before the meeting starts, and in the past few days, the nobles of the entire Susa have come, but there is only one Il, and if you want to see him, you naturally need to wait。

In this regard, Jonas and Andreas naturally expressed their understanding, and as the valet was brought to his room, before being led through the door, Jonas asked the valet Jung's room, and after getting the exact answer, he asked him to wait for a while, followed Andreas to change his clothes, and walked towards Jung's room.

The people of the Il family arranged very well, Jonas and Andreas's room was also very close to Jung's room, in the same building, and after walking for a while, the two arrived at the door of Jung's room, knocked lightly, and there was a sound of walking inside, and when the door was opened, it was Jung.

"You are here, please come in. Jung was not surprised to see Jonas and Andreas, since becoming a knight of the Medal, the ability of the five senses has grown rapidly, the small wall really can't stop his ability, as soon as the knock on the door outside came, Jung already knew who was standing outside, and there was naturally no surprise when he opened the door.

Jonas and Andreas walked in, the manservant was blocked out, Jung closed the door and walked back to the room, at this time Jonas was already sitting on the huge sofa, holding a quilt made of glass in his hand, drinking a yellow drink inside, the taste was very similar to beer, but with some bitterness, Jonas didn't know what it was, took a sip and put it down, and said to Jung who walked back:

"Father, is war really going to break out? You know, the nobles of the whole city of Toriyama are now spreading rumors like crazy, some say that there is going to be war, some say that Miss Rome Dicol is pregnant, and some say that the Crusades are about to start again. ”

"Yes, war is about to break out, my children, and the target is none other than the Kingdom of France. Jung walked to Jonas's side, picked up the cup that was originally placed on the table and drank it, he liked this wine very much, according to the person who sent the wine, he could make a man in bed dragon and tiger, Jung drank a little with the mentality of giving it a try, the effect was indeed very good, seeing Jonas drank, Jung wanted to stop it, but Jonas drank too fast, and drank it in one breath, this time Jung naturally couldn't say anything to stop it, goodbye Jonas put the cup down, Jung thought, since he didn't drink it, it would be better not to say it, as a nobleman, face is a very important thing, especially for a boy, the quality of a certain aspect of ability, it is absolutely not allowed to be tarnished by others, not even his father, so he didn't say anything, but hid this little secret in his heart.

'I'm helping him, am I?' Jung silently defended in his heart, and looked at Andreas again, Jung thought to himself, how nice it would be if he drank this wine, so maybe Andreas would be interested in mating, as for Jonas, he was very mature, why should he have a headache himself.

"Is it already decided?" said Jonas, unwillingly.

"Just now, the Duke of Il told me personally. Jung was very cruel to interrupt Jonas's fantasy, he leaned on the sofa a little depressed, his heart was very disappointed, war is inevitable after all, this is really a painful thing, looking at Jonas's disappointed appearance, Jung was very dissatisfied, walked up and kicked Jonas lightly with his foot, very annoyed and said: "Okay, Jonas, we are nobles, it is our duty to face war, don't be like a coward, you really stay with women for a long time, you should really go to the barracks to have a good experience." “

"Father, I'm not afraid of war, but I don't think it's necessary, and the only one who will benefit is the Duke of Lower Lorraine, and he will become emperor, and what will we get? Will we get tens of thousands of women who have lost their husbands, or tens of thousands of children who have lost their fathers? This is not cowardice, if I am cowardly, I will not become a knight, you know?"

Jonas retorted very dissatisfied, the self-blame and self-esteem in his heart are entangled, so that he will have some natural weakness when facing the matter of women, especially in the face of Jung, who is only with Sandra, this kind of weakness will be put even bigger, which makes Jonas very frustrated, he did do a wrong thing, but he doesn't want to turn back, at this time he has to learn to deceive himself, for example, this is free love, Italians can be with Jews, and they are also single, this will not be a problem, at this time, it was ruthlessly punctured by Jung, which is for a manIt's a shameful thing.

"Well, I don't want to talk to you about it, I just want to tell you, Jonas, don't give me a grandson before you get married, you know? Facing the angry Jonas, Jung decisively changed the topic, this son has been uncontrollable since he was a child, and his kung fu in his tongue has inherited Sandra's ability, and he wants to argue with him, and the person who died of anger in the end must be himself, so Jung looked at Andreas who was watching the play on the side, and said to him: "What is the situation with Genaya, Andreas, the war with France, where the possibility of becoming the first battlefield is very high, are you sure?"

"Father, Genaya is just a city, in the face of the army of a kingdom, whether I am sure is not up to me, but should be up to His Majesty, I can only do it, when facing the Duchy of Provence alone, it can only last for half a month, and other than that, I can't make any guarantees. Andreas, shrugged his shoulders, and said helplessly, no one knows how strong France's strength is, everyone only knows that he defeated the empire at that time half a century ago, and cut Alsace-Lorraine off the map, in addition, the two countries broke off contact, but from this matter, France's strength is not weak, and even if Genaya is strong, it is just a commercial city, if France comes to attack, Genaya will naturally not be able to stop, this is the truth, it is indeed quite cruel.

"It's enough to be able to do this, this time the main battlefield should be in the Alsace-Lorraine region, we won't have much of a problem here, at most it is just to open up a second battlefield, after all, most of the nobles who participated in the war this time are there, and the only nobles who choose to participate in Italy are our Duchy of Susa and the Duchy of Samia, unless France wants to do a full-scale national war with me, otherwise there is no need for him to attack Genoya, let alone a full-scale attack. Jung nodded, as long as he could hold it, then there would be no problem, as for the situation in the central theater, Jung didn't want to care, whether it was victory or defeat, it was their business, as long as they could ensure that Susa was okay, the rest of the things, Jung only regarded it as someone else's business, and didn't interfere.

After deliberating on this matter, the three men fell silent, and no one spoke any more, until ten minutes later, Andreas spoke again: "Father, is the Duke of Il ready to side with the Duke of Lower Lorraine and support him in the succession of the Emperor?" ”

Hearing Andreas's sudden judgment, Jung was stunned for a moment, and then then asked, "Andreas, why do you say that? “

"I'm just talking casually, it's just my personal speculation, I just think that the Duke of Il didn't get any benefit from participating in this war, didn't you find out? If he participated in this battle for profit, then he should send his army to Genaya, after all, the opposite side of Genoya is Provence in France, if he can attack and obtain the territory of Provence, then Il will get a lot of land and population, but he didn't plan to do this, right?" Andreas said very calmly, Jung on the side was very surprised, he nodded and said: "Yes, Il just said to defend Genaya, and did not say that he would send troops, Andreas, you are amazing, how did you guess." “

"By virtue of this. Andreas pointed to his head, and then continued: "In that case, what is Il participating in this war for? Is it for honor not to go to a war for fame and fortune? Il is obviously not a man who is more loyal than famous, and I think we should all agree with this, so what is he participating in this war for?" I think there is only one answer, that is, in order to help the Duke of Lower Lorraine take Alsace-Lorraine, join his interest group, and after the Duke of Lower Lorraine is crowned emperor, in exchange for more lucrative benefits, only in this way will Il have the motivation to participate in the war, and only in this way will the Italian nobles stand still, and the northern magnates will be cold and watch, in order to see the jokes of the Duke of Lorraine. “

"Our empire is nominally united, but in reality it is divided, the whole empire is divided into countless interest groups, and now our duke has decided to completely integrate us into the interests of the Duke of Lower Lorraine, which is why this war did not cause a sensation in the whole empire, this is the war of a part of the imperial nobility facing the whole of France, which is why I judged that Il was on the side of the Duke of Lower Lorraine. “

"If you say so, is the situation of His Majesty the Emperor really that bad?"

Jung said worriedly that the rotation of the royal family often plunged the entire empire into a civil war, and three hundred years ago, in that civil war, the Habsburg royal family won the war and held it for three hundred years, and the price paid for this was that the entire empire lost its male population by three, and the entire empire fell into a long famine.

During this time, although the whole empire was still in turmoil, but the great war was subsided, after three hundred years, the Habsburg royal family has lost its former glory, and the princes everywhere are weak and weak, watching the throne, is a sensational civil war coming?

"Who knows, this is just my speculation, His Majesty's health is absolutely secret, no one can know, of course I don't know, but many unusual things have happened recently, even the war with France has happened, we haven't had a war for half a century, but now a war broke out suddenly, there must be an unusual reason for not telling us, according to this speculation, maybe His Majesty the Emperor's health is really very poor. Andreas said expressionlessly, the emperor's health seemed to have become a thing to laugh at in his mouth, and the huge shadow of the civil war did not affect Andreas's train of thought, sometimes Jung had to think, what could make Andreas feel afraid?

Maybe even the child of death is no longer afraid, Jung thought to himself.
