Volume 1 The Road to Rise Chapter 059 - Hundred Secrets and One Shu: Siege Attack (2)
After leaving the barracks, Sig did not go home directly, but rode a horse to the outskirts of the eastern part of the city.
As the only way to the port, the eastern suburbs can be described as a valuable piece of land.
It has also become the favorite "territory" of the nobles of England.
Sigurt was going to borrow a soldier from one of the nobles here.
The nobleman had joined the army with him, and during his time as a soldier, Sieg had saved him several times.
This nobleman was an illegitimate child, and it stands to reason that he could not inherit the title and become a nobleman.
Unable to bear the luck of others, he was recalled by his father in the third year of his army because his half-brothers were dead.
One of his illegitimate sons suddenly became the heir to the title.
Now, the nobleman is a viscount.
Although the title is only one order higher than Sig, the family is a hereditary viscount, the kind with fiefs and private armies.
After Sieg became a nobleman, he also visited this former "brother", and the other party was quite enthusiastic about him for saving his life.
Sieg felt that it should not be a big problem for him to borrow troops to solve his personal problems.
Soon, halfway around the city, Sig arrived at a farm in the eastern suburbs.
The people didn't get closer, but they saw the windmill in the Zhuangzi from a distance, which was the windmill of the mill.
The entrance to the village was guarded by two guards who stopped Sieg, who had come to visit.
"What people! This is Viscount Kate's territory, not a place for a homeless like you! ”
The guard scolded loudly, looking very rude.
Who made Sieg dress too ordinary now, more like a wandering knight than his aristocratic status.
These guards are the most annoyed by this kind of wandering knight who likes to cause trouble.
"I'm Baron Sieg Holmes, and I've come to visit Viscount Will Fox Kate, and if you don't report it soon, if you delay my business, I'll whip you hard!"
Sigurt sat on horseback, arrogantly pointing his whip at the talking guard.
He knows very well that what is needed to deal with this kind of slave who can only bully others is not a smile and politeness, but a more rude and high-minded attitude.
As long as your status is higher than theirs, then they are loyal dogs wagging their tails and begging for mercy in front of you.
Sure enough, when they heard Sig report to their home, the faces of the two guards who were still smiling suddenly changed.
"Oh, my honorable baron, please forgive us for our offense, and we will go and tell you about it, and I beg you to wait."
Sieg waved his hand to signal the two of them to hurry up.
One of the two guards ran into the farmstead, while the other stayed where he was, with a smiling face.
Sig waited for a while without paying attention, and soon the farm was dusty, and a middle-aged man with a mustache galloped on horseback.
Before the person arrived, a hearty voice had already come: "Hahaha, Sherlock Holmes, my good brother, long time no see, why are you here!" ”
The person who came was none other than the owner, Viscount Will Kate.
Sieg saluted on horseback: "Sieg has seen His Excellency the Viscount. ”
The Viscount of Kent, who was already near, said unhappily: "Sherlock Holmes, what are you doing here, being neglected by this group of lowly guys?" He was separated from me. ”
"No, it's just that I have a request for His Excellency the Viscount this time, so naturally I have to be courteous for a few weeks."
Seeger did not change his attitude at Viscount Kent's words, but became more respectful.
What he thought in his heart was: What do you say is not a point, when you were in the army, you called me Big Brother Sig, not Sherlock Holmes!
Don't even shout "Sig", you have to shout "Sherlock Holmes", don't you just want to draw a line!
As early as the previous contacts, Seeger found out that Will Kate, who became a viscount, was no longer the submissive soldier Kate back then.
Now Will Kate has long been a qualified nobleman.
Arrogance, cunning, hypocrisy.
But Sieg didn't care, because all the nobles in the good were like that.
There is no friendship between the aristocracy, and some are always just interests.
With the same interests, he is your most loyal ally.
The interests are not aligned, and he can sell you if he is like a brother.
"Look at you, what do you want or not, we still need to ask for it. As long as I can help, I will not be ambiguous. ”
Kate readily agreed, but Sieg still understood the mystery in his words.
If you can help, you can help. If you can't help, then I'm sorry.
Sig went straight in: "Your Excellency, Sig came today to borrow some private soldiers from you. ”
"Borrowed soldiers?" Kate was surprised and asked, "What are you borrowing soldiers for?" ”
Sieg said vaguely: "Don't worry, solve some family matters." ”
"Family matters?" Kate was puzzled, he had been living outside the city lately and had not entered the city.
Even though he had a mansion in the city, Kate preferred to be powerful in his own territory compared to facing a large group of nobles in the city who were higher than him.
Therefore, he did not know the rumors in the city.
"Yes, settle a little bit of housework. You know, some time ago, my dear brother disappeared, and I haven't been at home lately, so the family has been remembered. I'm just a little baron, and I don't have a private soldier, so I can only come to ask for your help. ”
"Of course, as compensation for the trouble, I can transfer a shop in my brother's name to you."
Sigurt knew that the nobles were people who didn't get up early for profit, so he threw out his chips directly.
At this time, Viscount Kate no longer hesitated, but laughed loudly: "Oh, what kind of trouble!" What kind of friendship do we have, borrow, must borrow, how much do you want to borrow? ”
Sieg said to himself, "It's like you can borrow as much as I want." ”
However, on the surface, he still replied quickly: "Just lend me twenty guards, of course, it is best if there are full-time knights, after all, I don't know what the situation is at home now." ”
The reason why Sieg only borrowed twenty people was because he knew that Kate's territory also only had fifty private soldiers, which was the number of private soldiers that Kate was allowed to recruit on the surface.
And with Sig's status, bringing twenty guards into the city is already the limit.
You must know that the quota for ordinary caravans to enter the city is only ten guards, and the rest rely on mercenaries to make up the number.
"Twenty? This ......" Kate hesitated, wondering if a shop was worth risking twenty privates.
"Your Excellency, please rest assured, I just invited them to the town, and if they need to do something, I will pay them separately."
Sieg's up-and-coming chips while the iron is hot are too much for Kate to refuse.
"Oh, what are you talking about, I'm just worried about whether there are enough twenty people. It's a pity that my territory needs to be patrolled by people, otherwise I would have lent you all fifty of them. ”
Kate's words, Seeger listened to them, and didn't take them seriously.
He smiled and waited for Kate's next words.
Kate understood that she had gone too far, and immediately instructed a knight's retinue behind her: "Finn, you go and gather all the men, go and go with Baron Holmes, remember, Holmes is my Will's brother, you must not be lazy." ”
"Yes."
The retinue named Fein didn't talk nonsense, and went back to the village to gather people.
Soon, in the midst of Will's hypocritical exchange with Sieg, Finn returned with his men.
Sieg said goodbye directly and rushed towards the city with Fain and the others.
Except for a little trouble when entering the city, but after Sig revealed his identity, this little trouble was also solved.
A team of twenty people can't make waves in England, and the city guards just want a guarantee.
Sig gave them this guarantee, and if something happened, they would naturally find Sige, and the city guards would naturally not look for trouble.
In this way, Sieg took Fein and the others all the way back to Sherlock Holmes Manor.
It just so happened that it was already dusk at this time, but it didn't attract too much attention from outsiders.
The main thing is that the people living nearby are merchants, and no one wants to provoke the rights and wrongs of the aristocracy.
"Rand, open the door!"
Looking at the closed door, Sieg shouted directly at the gatekeeper.
The old man guarding the door slowly looked up and looked at the angry Sigurg, without much reaction.
He slowly pulled out the key and slowly opened the gate of the manor.
As soon as the door opened, Sieg rushed in directly.
"Finn, bring someone to follow!"
The group, ignoring Rand, the gatekeeper of the old dragon bell, rushed straight into the manor.
But he didn't notice that a strange smile appeared on the corner of Old Rand's mouth, and then, a shiny mouse came out of the gatekeeper's house and went straight to the inner courtyard.
Sigurt took the lead, ignoring the fright of the servants, and rushed directly to the courtyard where his son was.
"Sherlock, you rebel, get out of here!"
Although Anna and Sherlock were well known in the manor, Sieg still didn't want to expose them to his face.
He chose to attack Sherlock, but he wanted Anna to retreat.
Unfortunately, Anna was not in Sherlock's room at this time.
Sherlock, who eats the marrow, is so tireless these days that others have lost weight without noticing, but are willing to eat it.
At this time, he was lying on the bed and sleeping, replenishing his strength and wanting to continue fighting at night.
As for what little white face, he had long forgotten about Anna's lies and tears.
He was continuing to run clouds and rain with Anna in his dream when he was awakened by a loud shout.
"Sherlock, you rebel, get out of here!"
Sherlock was awakened, his expression angry.
Not only was his dream interrupted, but also because he could hear that the voice outside was from his unconscionable father!
"Damn it! Why should you come back! Are you coming back to rob my aunt from me? No way! Absolutely not! ”
Sherlock had a crazy killing intent in his eyes: "You dare to come back, I want you to die!" ”
Sherlock was stunned, unaware that he had murderous intent towards his own father.
Sherlock rolled out of bed, not paying the slightest attention to the fact that he was shirtless, walked to the table in the room in his obscene pants, opened the drawer, and grabbed a short-barreled flintlock pistol from it!
"Kill you, I'll kill you!"
Sherlock's withered hands, holding a flintlock pistol, stumbled towards the door with a look of madness.
He had only one thought in his head.
Kill all the men who want to rob him of his aunt!
