Section 56 New Franchises

readx;

Idavin, who was on his horse, glanced around, and a sense of fear welled up, yes, he was really very afraid. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 info And that sense of fear came mainly from the cavalry army that surrounded him, and these unusually elite looking soldiers seemed to be like iron men, without the slightest emotion.

As a military professional, Adamin had already estimated the odds of his escape, and that was impossible.

At this point, he had no idea what was about to happen, but in order to save face and not startle the snake, he still pretended to be very honored, even if it seemed very awkward.

Sirte and Desai, who had already received the news, only smiled coldly at the officer, they had learned about the iron-fisted methods of their boss-like commander Brion, who had cleared out the aliens in the first division and executed the Count of Baden in a slanderous manner. Both were very bloody, with the former helping Brion take control of the army, while the latter tripled Brion's territory.

Looking at the commander of the garrison, both of them seemed to see him lying in a pool of blood.

Unconsciously, Adamin saw Soult's pitiful and slightly indifferent eyes towards the loser, and a more uneasy feeling welled up in his heart, he calmed down, and came to Soult's side with some compliments and said: "Sir Soult, I am really honored that the Duke of Baden can invite me to the castle for a banquet, but you see that I don't even have a gift, so it doesn't look good to go empty-handed." ā€

After seeing Soul's sneering eyes, Adamin spontaneously leaned to the side, not embarrassed to say more. After all, this is no different from pleading, and people with brains will not do it at all, because the enemy who wants to kill you will not agree, and it is very shameless.

"Seriously, the Duke is very rich and lacks nothing, and maybe he'll give you something. Desai said jokingly.

Hearing this, all the soldiers next to him smiled, and most of this smile was disdain for the soldier Adamin. However, this sentence was different in his ears, if Brion could give him something, it was only one thing, and that was death!

In order to return to the duchy as soon as possible, Sirte appointed a loyal cronie to lead a large army back to Baden, but they were slow of course. After that, Soult and Desai escorted Idavin and led thirty cavalry to the fiefdom at full speed. Since they were all on horseback, it only took a short time to get from the city of Lyon to the fiefdom.

Briand, however, had already set up a table at the castle, both to entertain Languedot and to meet the audacious mayor's murderer. At the same time, Brion also took this opportunity to find Ferguson and Macdonald and dine with him.

Although it was believed that none of these men, except for Languedotte, were qualified to sit down with such a noble as Briand, they had no idea what Brion really wanted. What he needed was not the luxury and wealth of the aristocracy, but real talent.

When Adamin was brought into the lavish castle by Desai, he finally met the nobleman sitting on the first seat, and it was then that he truly understood the purpose of his capture. It's nothing short of an interrogation. If this was really a banquet, how could there be only four people?, and Desai and Soult sat down without regard to their identities after waiting for Adam to take their seats. They didn't seem to care about anything, and as soon as they sat down, they began to eat, as if they didn't take Adam seriously.

As for why it was an interrogation? Idavin was a clear-eyed man. Everyone in the room seems to have a kind of admiration and fear for the first person, and all this can be inferred that they should be Brion's men.

Adamin no longer had the slightest luck at this time, he had already understood on the way here that this duke was simply an emperor-like figure. This is not because of his cronies, but because of the elite soldiers, and the busy servants, the people who live in peace, which is certainly not indicative of the changes Brion has made in this land. It can be said that with the strength of the Duchy of Baden, it can be promoted to a kingdom, and if it is in Germany, it is basically the first power except Prussia.

"Idaven?" Brion looked up.

"Humble in office. ā€

"Adamin, commander-in-chief of the garrison of Lyon, a close associate of the speaker of Poitou, is the murderer of Mayor Anthony?" Putting down the dishes and wiping his hands with a towel, Brion said casually.

"Well, yes, no! Mayor Anthony didn't kill him!" Adamin reacted when he heard the last sentence, but his retort at this time pale in front of Brion, he killed people in the first place, and now his own life was in Brion's hands.

"Hehe, Monsieur Languedotte, what do you think?" said Brion, looking at the comic scene, slowly turning his head to Languedot.

Listening to Brion's questioning, Languedotte and Adamin glanced at each other, and the officer was really half killed.

"Didn't you really kill people? Do you dare to swear?" Languedotte said indifferently: "We have accurate information, you must not quibble in front of us, otherwise you should know our methods!"

As he spoke, Languedot glanced at Soul.

Soirte seemed to have received some code, and with a clap of his hands, a dozen heavily armed soldiers rushed out from outside. Before Idaven could react, the soldiers had already surrounded him. And Brion still sat in the first place and was indifferent, he was cold like a god.

Soult smirked and pulled out a short gun from his waist, slowly walked to Adamin's side and said, "Mr. Adamon is a government official in Lyon, and the Duke doesn't want to kill you, but who told you to kill Mayor Anthony?

"This 怂怂怂怂怂怂 I have come to attend the banquet of the Duke, and the speaker can testify, he can testify. After hearing Sirte's threatening words, Adamin was taken aback. However, now that they are dying, it must be like a solution. And now the best way to protect him is the excuse of the banquet that brought him to Baden before, and Adamin believes that the speaker must know it now. Unexpectedly, this excuse deceived Idaven and saved his life.

Hearing Adamin's words, Brion's feeling of victory disappeared in an instant, he didn't know what it was to invite him to a banquet, and this method seemed to be Sirte's method of abducting Adamven.

After a few seconds of silence, Brion gradually cleared his mind, and he realized that there was such a big hidden danger.

The smile on Brion's face began to fade slowly, he never thought that he would be able to drop such a chain at this critical moment. Originally, his plan was to use Mayor Anthony's death to force the murderer Idavin to reveal that Poitou was a criminal involved in the murder. As long as Idavin is tricked, then Brion can use such political material to blackmail Poitu without much effort, and can even use his influence in the south to completely defeat Poitu and consolidate his rule in the south.

But because of this one lie, everything was ruined. At this time, Brion had a feeling that it was difficult to ride a tiger, and if there was no such thing, it would be enough to make Adam feel that there was no way out, and he would definitely obey when the time came. But now, there is a way out, why does Idavin need to expose his family background?

Kill or not kill, let go or not, Brion is the first time to be so embarrassed because of such a trivial matter. Adamon wasn't stupid either, and he understood what Brion was worried about at this point. First of all, if you let yourself go, then Brion's face will definitely be sad. Secondly, if he goes back, he will inevitably report Brion's actions and the specific situation in the fief to Poitou, which undoubtedly exposes Brion's strength and reduces Brion's chances of winning in the duel with the Senate because of Poitou's likely expanded strength.

In short, once these factors are in place, it will be even more difficult for Brion to gain a foothold in the Senate, and even he will not let himself go if he thinks about it from another perspective.

"Lord Duke, I am really sorry for the death of Mayor Anthony, and our garrison has already investigated the matter. Although we don't know the real murderer, we suspect that Poitou must have something to do with it, and I believe he did it. We hope you will be able to give us support!"

Just when there was a silence in the audience, Idavin's words instantly dissolved the awkward atmosphere. However, everyone could hear that there was something in this statement that they wanted to take refuge in Brion.

This meeting was a mess for Brion, and Languedot seemed to hear what he meant, and after a moment of thought, he decided to let Adamin return to Lyon.

"Does he want to take refuge in us? He's a Louis XVI man! a member of Poitou's faction. Brion asked Languedot with some confusion.

"Then may I ask Your Royal Highness the Duke, am I not also one of King Louis XVI's side?" Languedotte cheerfully lit a cigar: "His Majesty has not many loyal people now, and the only reason for those nobles to support him is the privilege of the nobility." And this Idavin is not a nobleman, I think he understands the danger of being betrayed by Poittu at any moment. ā€

After a bit of speculation, Languedot continued: "I think he should have understood by now which of the two sides was stronger, and he understood it when he came to the Duchy of Baden. Now it can be said that he is already our man. But we can't use this piece yet, it's not the right time. ā€

"Our people?"

"Yes, as long as we have him, we have a local garrison, and then it will be easier to control the city of Lyon?
