Chapter 163: Silly Child

He didn't ask Wade if he was willing to sell, and just asked him to make a price.

It's no different from robbing.

But Wade really can't mess with Miss Chrissy.

Chrissy is the youngest daughter of the Marquis of Boggs, sixteen years old and not yet married, good looks, coupled with noble status, the Parisian aristocratic men who pursue her can line up in a long line.

Not to mention that Chrissy is extremely favored, otherwise she wouldn't have been married off at the age of sixteen, what else did the Marquis of Boggs say, let his good daughter marry a man she liked.

To put it mildly, his daughter has given birth to a lot, and all of them can be connected, and Chrissy is not bad.

Wade was sweating on his forehead, more uncomfortable than having fought three consecutive martial arts matches.

If the deal is rejected, the men who are courting Miss Chrissy will be happy.

They will certainly do everything in their power to snatch the sword from their own hands, and then give it to Miss Chrissy in a flattering manner, so as to win her favor.

But if you accept the deal

He felt bad inside.

A second ago, he said that he wanted to treat this sword as a family heirloom.

How to make a good family heirloom, say no, it's gone.

The servant didn't give Wade much face.

"Is the price hard to think about? Rest assured, Miss Chrissy will not bargain with you. ”

"Nope. Nope"

Wade held the scabbard in his right hand and wiped the sweat from his forehead with his left.

Just then, another servant appeared and saved Wade.

Wade knew him, and he couldn't be more familiar.

He is a family servant of his own noble lord.

"Knight Wade, Madame asked you to show her the sword."

"Good.!"

Wade hurriedly smiled apologetically and left in a hurry.

"Huh."

Chriss's servant tried to stop him, but was stopped.

"Miss Chrissy can communicate with Madame if she has any questions."

"Damn it!"

Wade took the sword and hurriedly returned to Lady Harold, the lord of his lordship.

Mrs. Harold couldn't help but joke when she saw that Wade's face was not very good.

"Seeing you blocked your way by Chrissy's servants, I knew what was going on."

"Thank you very much, madam, otherwise my sword, just"

"Just what?" Mrs. Harold interrupted directly and stretched out her hand: "Show me the sword." ”

"Huh?"

"What are you doing in a daze, give it to me."

"Oooh."

Mrs. Harold took the two-handed sword and drew it gently, with a slight struggle.

Seeing the damage on the blade and the sword, he couldn't help but shake his head.

"It's good to survive so many fierce battles and still be like this."

Wade couldn't help but be tempted: "Madam, then this sword."

"Of course I'll keep it for you, Wade." Mrs. Harold raised an eyebrow, "Do you really think you can keep this sword?" Not to mention the others, Chrissy alone has 10,000 ways to get this sword from you. ”

Wade was a little surprised: "Isn't Lord Harold worried that the Marquis of Boggs will ask him?" ”

Boggs is famously fond of his daughter in France, not to mention that the sword is still in the hands of an earl, what is there not to come.

Mrs. Harold looked displeased: "If he wants it again, can he still grab it?" You go back first, put this sword at home first, and I'll keep it for you. Otherwise, in your hands, it will be even more unprotective. ”

"That's right."

After Wade left, he walked and walked before his head opened.

Oh no.

His sword was taken away by his wife, right?

Oh my God, I might as well sell it to Miss Chrissy!

You can also make a fortune.

Now that the sword was in Mrs. Harold's hands, he couldn't find a reason to get it back.

And Mrs. Harold, who was in the stands, gently stroked the hilt of her sword, her face obsessed.

"Is this the sword that Knight Raya touched, and it seems to have his temperature on it. It's a really safe temperature. ”

Just as she was sinking into her own world, the servant interrupted with a slight cough.

"Ma'am, Miss Chrissy called you over."

Mrs. Harold frowned, snorted, and handed the sword into the servant's hand.

"Now send it home and put it away, no one is allowed to hand it over on the way, understand?"

"No problem, my lady."

Royal Palace of the Île de Louis.

Philip VI was not in the main hall, but in the study.

John walked towards the bookstore.

Compared to the lively occasions of his house, the palace seemed unusually deserted.

John is a knight man who is about to do it, and since he has agreed, if he wants to promote Xu Siling's title of perfect knight to the entire kingdom, he must fulfill his promise.

Although he was the crown prince, he had political disagreements with his father, and he could not ask the Paris magistrate to do these things, so he had to seek out his father.

As soon as he entered the book, John saw Philip VI sitting in the bookroom as if nothing had changed.

Especially knowing that he would come to him, his expression was not the slightest surprise.

Philip VI had thick hair and a beard, which was well-groomed, combed into a neat hairstyle, with a well-trimmed beard and ornamentation that marked the majesty and maturity of his king.

His expression was not wavering, and his dark green eyes were gently raised, looking at John, and his tone was resentful.

"You're no different from a stupid pig."

John was about to speak, when he was stunned.

"Father, I haven't said anything yet."

"No, no, no, I should say you're a stupid pig."

"I, I." John thought back to what he had done, he had been very quiet lately, and he hadn't gone out to drink and fight: "What did I do. ”

"That's what makes you a stupid pig! I still don't understand what stupid decision you made. ”

"Huh? What decision did I make? Admit that Seo is the perfect knight? ”

"Of course not." The more Philip VI looked at his son, the more he felt that he was stupid: "What did I tell you that night, the Raya Knight is a very special existence, I let you get along with him, if he is willing to stand on your side and support you in the future, it will help you a lot." ”

"Then I did this, I get along with Xu very well, I like him very much."

"Then why, your reward for this tournament is simply to help the Raya knight promote his reputation?"

John was stunned for a moment, then asked, "You know?" ”

"Of course I know, I knew it when you were going to interrupt today's aristocratic tea party and hold a knight tournament, and I went to see it during the period, but you don't know."

Philip VI, of course, did not say that he had gone to John's mansion today in order to introduce Blanche to his stupid son.

With John's temperament and Gabroncie's special identity, how could the two have the opportunity to meet without him taking the lead in the middle.

It's just that he didn't expect that as soon as he arrived at John's mansion, he saw that the mansion was holding some knight tournament, which really made him angry enough.

Although he was angry, he also cared about Xu Siling's personal strength.

The information obtained and the battle report of the Battle of Tamubao have a great 'exaggeration' of Xu Siling's personal strength.

Philip VI did not particularly believe these sources and battle reports, but he believed half of them.

But even if you believe half of it, Xu Siling's strength is also very strong.

It's better to see for yourself.

So I hid in the corner of the dueling arena and watched the whole knight competition.

When he saw Xu Siling win in the last pick five, he was shocked in his heart.

This strength beyond the realm of ordinary people is like a god descending from the heavens, just like God putting on a human skin.

After playing the whole knight tournament, there was no injury on his body.

After watching Xu Siling's performance in the dueling arena, Philip VI realized that the information and battle reports he obtained were still deliberately depressed for Xu Siling.

Philip VI had already decided in his heart that such a person was bound to be used for his own purposes.

Even if it is not in his own hands, it must be in the hands of the royal family, such as his stupid son John.

Unexpectedly, after hearing that after the knight tournament, John just promised to let Xu Siling's good name spread to the kingdom, he was angry, and then left the scene angrily.

Not long after he returned to the palace, John came looking for him.

John spread his hands: "Then I didn't do anything wrong." ”

"You didn't do it, you didn't do anything, it's the stupidest!"

Philip VI finally decided to speak his mind, and he saw that John would never understand if he didn't speak clearly to his stupid son.

"Why don't you canonize Xu as a baron at the end of the knight competition?"

"Canonize Xu as a baron?" John was stunned.

The king basically does not canonize barons, only quasi-barones.

On the contrary, most of the titles of barons were canonized by dukes and earls to their knights.

The nobles who were awarded the title of baron must also obtain at the very least, and the value of territorial resources that can support more than five knights.

Therefore, many high-ranking nobles are not willing to canonize their knights as barons.

At present, many high-ranking nobles in France are not doing particularly well.

"yes, why didn't you do that?"

"But Xu is already Raya's knight."

"It's because Xu Siling is Raya's knight, and if you want Raya Knight to be your strength, you have to do it."

"But. Xu won't agree, he's a man with knightly beliefs, and he'll be loyal to Raya, I can see it. ”

Philip VI felt his temples bulge and feel like they were about to explode.

"That's why I scolded you, why don't you canonize him with a baron as a reward at the end of the tournament, this kind of nature comes up with the trend, it won't make people think that you want to take Xu, understand?"

"There are so many territories in Normandy, you just give Raya Knight a castle, isn't it enough to touch his heart?"

"Raya Knight is also a man, with such strong strength, there will definitely be desire."

"It's not about women, power, status, identity!"

"You have to know where your advantages are, your advantages are incomparable to Raya."

"What you can give to Raya Knight, Raya may not be able to give!"

"Can you give Knight Raya a castle, can she give it to Raya? How big is her viscountdom, and what do she give? ”

Faced with the lesson of Philip VI, John blushed.

He can't do this kind of thing.

Perhaps, as his father said, it is a good thing to canonize Xu as a baron of his own domain.

Regardless of whether Xu is willing to settle in Normandy or not, at least the income from the canonized baron's territory will belong to Xu.

Even if Xu is unwilling to go to Normandy to take care of that territory, he can arrange for someone to help take care of it.

As long as Xu is canonized by him, Xu is bound to admit his love.

Since then, the two have had a deep interest relationship, which is still one-sided.

With Xu's character, in the days to come, he will definitely find an opportunity to repay him.

If Xu is willing to move to Normandy to live, or take care of the Normandy fiefdom himself, that would be even better.

In this way, at least he can cut off the connection between Xu and Raya, so as to slowly dig Xu to his side and become his person.

It has to be said that Philip VI was very bad at fighting wars and employing people and handling state affairs.

But he is very good at scheming with the aristocracy.

This is something that John can't compare, or even learn.

But if you can learn, you won't be a bad person.

Philip VI scolded, and when he saw that John didn't refute it, he thought that John had listened, and he couldn't help but feel a lot more relieved.

"Well, it's too late to say that. You go back now to change the reward, to canonize Xu Siling as a baron, he will not be happy, the nature has changed, especially after the other nobles know about it, they will notice that your purpose is not pure. ”

John sighed, he had no purpose.

He was a simple knight.

Longing for the knight tournament, yearning for chivalry, yearning for the strength of Xu Siling, a perfect knight.

"Actually. The relationship with Xu deepened, and it was not without other ways. ”

Philip VI raised his eyebrows curiously: "Tell me." ”

"I can make Xu a swordsmanship teacher in my mansion"

Without waiting for John to finish, Philip VI touched his beard and nodded in approval.

"Yes, it's a good idea to make Xu Charlie's teacher, your brain is not too stupid."

"Huh? Father, no. ”

"It's nothing."

"I mean, let Xu be my sword teacher, not Charlie."

The book house immediately fell into an eerie silence.

Philip VI's hand touching his beard froze.

The dark green eyes of father and son looked at each other.

Seeing that John looked serious, he didn't mean to joke.

In an instant, the atmosphere of the bookstore changed dramatically.

Philip VI picked up what was beside him and threw it at John's body.

"You stupid pig, get out of here, get out of here!"

John dodged, and the anger came up.

"Get out of here! I'm a pig, and I was born to you! I'm stupid, and it's because you're stupid! ”

"Stinky guy!"

Philip VI was so angry that he jumped up from his chair and was about to draw his sword against the wall, but John ran away.

Seeing John running away, Philip VI withdrew his sword, and this quarrel suddenly became angry, he tapped his chest, held on to the desk, and coughed violently.

Sitting back in his chair, he was still coughing, and it was difficult to calm down.

He looked at the slightly open door of the bookstore, and vaguely saw the back of his son John fleeing from the desert.

Dark green eyes, slightly gray.

He really felt that his time was short, and his body was getting worse day by day.

At birth, Philip VI was the one who had the right to inherit, but was also the least likely to inherit the throne.

No one cares about him, his upbringing, his life, no one cares.

No one believed that he would eventually become king of France.

When he first became king, Philip VI was as young and ambitious as John, and he wanted to carry forward the kingdom of France.

His aim, like his predecessor, was to reclaim all the territories that belonged to France.

But the more he wore this crown, the more physically and mentally exhausted he felt, and he often felt powerless.

Especially after the defeat at the Battle of Cressy.

France began to be in turmoil, coupled with the ravages of the Black Death, and the situation in France can be said to be getting worse and worse.

What was in front of Philip VI?

The crushing defeat at the Battle of Cressy, the refusal of the Estates-General to pay for his war, the alienation of the nobility, the outbreak of the Black Death.

As well as the body that is not as good as the day.

It can be said that Philip VI was no longer looking to the future at this time.

Nor does the outlook move.

The only thing he can do now is to try to stabilize the power of the royal family and secure the position of the ass.

Let the throne be smoothly handed over to John.

can look at the slightly open door, the back of the disappeared John.

His dark green eyes grew grayer and he muttered to himself.

"Silly boy."

"The nobles won't hit you with anything in the future."

"It won't give you a chance to escape." (End of chapter)
