Chapter 173: If you still want to challenge me, come back tomorrow
This is the first time Blanche has revealed her true heart.
The two looked at each other, and Blanche's eyes flashed a few traces of shyness that were not captured, and then looked away.
"Of course, I still hate you, but I have to admit that you are not a perfect knight, but you are a good solver."
This woman is strangely contradictory.
Xu Siling smiled: "Then I'll treat you as praising me." ”
Sibu put down, cutting off his vision, Xu Siling took a few steps back, and watched Blanche's carriage leave.
When the carriage had departed, he shook his head to himself and headed back to the house of the Count of Boura.
Blanche's current living situation, if you want to change, it's not like there's no solution.
Time, enough.
Since neither Philip VI nor John's wives died suddenly, Blanche would not have become Queen of France.
The main thing is that Xu Siling knows very well that Philip VI has no more years to live.
As long as Philip VI did not arrange Blanche out before he died.
When he died, the throne passed into John's hands, and John didn't think much of Blanche.
If everything goes well, I will have a good relationship with John at that time.
Then it is entirely possible for him to ask Miss Raya to take the initiative to help Blanche speak, and let John give Blanche freedom.
By the time Philip VI died, it was estimated that Blanche would be in his twenties.
In the Middle Ages belonged to the old girl.
The main social value of women in the Middle Ages was to have children.
Whether it is a female aristocrat or a female citizen, from the age of 12 to get married, it is basically a continuous process of pregnancy, childbirth, and waiting for conception.
Until the woman has a physical problem and can't give birth, or when she gives birth to a child, she dies, otherwise she has to give birth forever.
Blanche is now nineteen years old, and if she were someone else, she could be a mother to three or four children.
Of course, this is not something that Xu Siling needs to care about.
He enlightened Blanche's emotions, and he was benevolent and righteous, the two were not friends in the first place, and he cared about Blanche purely out of a small debt that stood in history.
Now he thinks he's done enough, as long as Blanche isn't a stupid woman, he should let himself go, and don't find another opportunity to embarrass him.
Time will save Blanche anyway, if all goes well for him and Phil.
On the way back, Xu Siling kept thinking.
In the Marquis of Boggs's bookhouse, he heard something.
One thing Marquis Boggs said is very right, in this kingdom, among the three main parties, the royal family, the Holy See, and the nobility, he and Phil do belong to a third party.
He and Phil can belong to either side or none at all.
Now that he and Phil have shown the ability to prove their worth, Philip VI thinks that he has the advantage in me, and prolonging the meeting with Phil is to further expand Phil's influence.
Xu Siling had been curious before, his performance in the knight competition, and the acquisition of title rewards, even if there was a king's official document to decentralize, he would not have exploded so quickly.
In just three days, the door of Bulva's house was crowded with people.
It's progressing so fast that it's hard to be caught off guard.
Now it seems that behind this situation, there must be Philip VI's push, as long as Fei'er and him, the perfect knight, are portrayed as more sacred and perfect, then Fei'er's support for the royal family will be greater.
The Holy See and the nobility have now seen Phil and his value, and they will definitely not be able to hold back.
If Fei'er and him are really completely on the side of the royal family, it will only be the Holy See and the nobility who will suffer.
What kind of urine sex did Philip VI, they knew too well.
Although he still doesn't understand, what bargaining chips the Holy See and the nobles will come up with to negotiate with Fei'er, Xu Siling can't think of what chips he can use to transfer support to Fei'er.
But he still wondered what the hell these people would do.
But
Xu Siling thought of the letter that Marquis Boggs had gotten.
This letter is a problem, although I don't know the content of the letter, but I feel that the spread of the letter has an estimated impact on Fei'er.
He didn't want the letter to become a bargaining chip for the nobles to threaten him and Fei'er.
This letter must be taken back.
It really didn't matter to him what the content was about.
But it had to disappear, and it was important to him.
Back through the back door of the house of the Count of Bourva.
At this time, Phil and Ann Li were not in the Earl's Court.
Neither Milton nor his wife were there.
Ever since he won the knightly tournament and won the title of Perfect Knight, he and Phil have completely exploded in the Parisian aristocratic circle.
Phil's daily itinerary plan is full.
As the host, Mrs. Milton naturally accompanies Fei'er everywhere every day, which is somewhat rubbing.
The same is true of Milton himself.
Men and men, women and women, each have their own entertainment.
Because Xu Siling's fame skyrocketed, Fei'er was somewhat troublesome to take him out, so she left him at home every day, and only let An Li accompany him.
Back at the earl's house, Xu Siling found that he had nothing to do, and he had a plan for the matter of seizing the letter, but he had to wait for Fei'er to come back and discuss it.
This is still the third chapter of the covenant between Fei'er and him after the knight's competition.
If it is not a special emergency, what big things Xu Siling wants to do, discuss with her as much as possible.
It is estimated that Xu Siling made a big deal about it without authorization in the knight competition, and he was scared.
Fei'er means very bluntly, I will not question your choice, nor will I deny your plan, but at least let her know in advance before doing anything, and take care of her little heart.
Xu Siling was bored walking in the courtyard, and when he passed by the gate of the mansion, he saw that the gate was still crowded with people.
The knight on the left side of the gate is retained, seeking a job.
The noble knight on the right side of the gate seeks to duel with Xu Siling.
The knights never dared to make trouble, but just waited together.
The knights are different, they belong to the nobility, although they are not nobles, but their status is here.
These knights are basically not knights of the major nobles, but knights of the minor nobles from all over the kingdom.
When you come to Paris, you naturally want to have a chance to make yourself famous all over the world.
Now that opportunity is in front of them.
Xu Siling, a knight from the countryside who has never heard of a name, can become the perfect knight of the kingdom.
These people were not convinced, especially when they heard the details of the process of the knight's joust, they didn't believe it.
Because it's too far out of the realm of common sense.
"Knight Raya, come out! Don't cower inside! ”
"I'm going to challenge you!"
These people have been screaming from the beginning to the night, but they have perseverance.
Xu Siling thought that as long as he didn't answer them and left them dry for a few days, his heat would slowly subside, and the gang would disperse.
Now it is known that Philip VI is behind him to help build momentum.
If you want your heat to disappear and wait for them to leave by themselves, I'm afraid it's difficult.
Xu Siling thought for a while, and finally decided to shut up the gang.
Anyway, I don't have anything to do now.
Xu Siling slowly came to the door of the mansion.
The family guard was helpless to deal with the knight's various unreasonable demands, and suddenly saw Xu Siling appear behind him, and his face was surprised.
"Knight. How did you get out. ”
"They're a little noisy, so let's come out and deal with it."
The knights and knights at the gate saw the man in the costume of a high-ranking citizen, who was the perfect knight of the kingdom who had gone viral in Paris and was recognized by the king, and they immediately became lively and noisy!
"Lord Perfect Knight, look at me! I am a skilled swordsman, and my teacher is a master of Bock! I will be your servant, and I will never let you lose face! ”
"No, Lord Knight, look at me! My father is the kingdom's baronet Kole, and I want to be your bodyguard! ”
"Get out of the way! What's the matter with you guys! ”
"It's time for knightly dueling! Want to find a job, are you crazy? ”
The identity of the knights is there, how dare these knights shout at them.
The nobles have many sons, and it is normal to have seven or eight sons, but there is only one who has the right to inherit.
In a quasi-baron's family, the son at the bottom of the line is not as good as a knight.
Therefore, these noble children, who were angry with the knights, also dared to be angry and did not dare to speak.
Xu Siling ignored these knights, and glanced around at the knights who had been clamoring to blow his head out.
He raised his hand and pressed down, signaling them to be quiet.
After they were quiet, Xu Siling spoke.
"If you want to challenge me, yes, I'll give you this opportunity."
Without waiting for the knights to recommend themselves frantically, Xu Siling's words followed closely behind, making them stunned.
"But there are two rules for dueling with me."
"First, I will only take on one challenge a day."
"Second, to duel with me, you need to sign a life and death paperwork."
"In a duel with me, one side must die, either me or you."
Xu Siling's brown eyes glanced faintly at a circle of quiet and silent knights.
"As long as no one dies in the duel, this duel will not end, there is no admission of defeat, no surrender."
The knights and guards on the side were all frightened by Xu Siling's fierce momentum.
Do you want to use your life as a bargaining chip if you just fight a duel?
And the knights, with stiff faces, looked at each other.
Originally, when I heard that Xu Siling only accepted the challenge of one person every day, they all had to scramble.
Hearing Xu Siling's second request, their fierce hearts were like being poured with cold water.
It's not that they're afraid.
Instead, use life as a bargaining chip to fight a duel, and everyone has to think twice.
"I'll only give you 10 seconds, and if no one has come forward to duel me, then you'll disappear for me now."
"Humph!"
A knight was the first to stand up, and his face stood upright, and he was very angry.
He felt that Xu Siling was underestimating them, thinking that they didn't dare to fight to the death.
"Knight Raya, do you think we're afraid of death?" He angrily slammed the door of the mansion and pointed at Xu Siling and shouted: "I, the Berkeley knight, send you a life-and-death duel!" Never die! ”
"Okay, that's you." Xu Siling doesn't care.
"How are you going to duel! Where to go! ”
"You don't have to go anywhere, just here, you come in."
The guard looked embarrassed: "Lord Knight Raya, are you serious?" ”
"Let him in, and you may have to arrange for someone to clean the floor later."
The guard was as uncomfortable as if he had eaten a stall of snot, his throat was gagged, and he didn't know what to say.
Did he mean that?
How can there be a duel at the door of the earl's house?
Berkeley was let in and snorted coldly: "yes, you have to have someone clean the floor!" Perfect knight, you can not admit defeat later, I am bound to cut you to the ground! ”
Xu Siling couldn't help but shake his head, anyway, these knights are not elite knights of the major nobles, but country knights from all over the kingdom.
It can be seen from Berkeley's outfits.
The chain mail on the body, without long sleeves, only to the arms, and the hem of the chain skirt, only to the waist.
Not to mention the others.
This armor and equipment configuration is similar to that of the guards of Raya Town, and it is not even as well-dressed as the guards of Count Bourva's house.
They want to seek death, and they are willing to give Xu Siling 10 skill proficiency points with their lives, and he naturally doesn't care.
"Perfect Knight, I'll be waiting for you here, go and put on your armor!"
"No, it doesn't need to be so troublesome to kill you."
"What did you say?!"
Xu Siling casually pointed to one of the knights' followers, and then asked.
"Can you lend me your one-handed sword?"
The knight who was pointed out looked frightened and happy, he didn't say a word, and handed over the scabbard with both hands.
It's even a little humble.
"Perfect Knight, my one-handed sword may not be particularly good"
"Nothing."
Xu Siling held the scabbard in his left hand and slowly came a few meters away in front of the Berkeley Knight, looking like he was ready.
This made Berkeley's eyebrows raise again.
"You don't wear armor, and your sword doesn't come out of its sheath? Are you playing with me! ”
"I said, kill you, you really don't need to be so troublesome, you have time to speak, I suggest you leave a last word, let someone else send you home."
Not only Berkeley was angry, but even the knights outside the gate were angry.
"Berkeley, kill this perfect knight!"
"He is so arrogant, why should he look down on us!"
"You're also a country knight, pretending to be something."
Berkeley's face twitched, he pulled out his two-handed sword, his hands clenched, and the blade of the sword was aimed at Xu Siling.
And Xu Siling still did not change his posture, holding the scabbard with his left hand, gently stroking the hilt with his right hand, and facing Berkeley obliquely.
"Since you're looking for death, then don't blame me!"
Berkeley's eyes burned with rage, and he stepped forward.
The two-handed sword in his hand set off a cold wind and quickly slashed towards Xu Siling.
Xu Siling's face was indifferent, and he quickly pulled out his one-handed sword from the scabbard, and with amazing reflexes and strength, he flicked away the attack of Berkeley's two-handed sword with one hand.
The speed at which the sword was unsheathed was outrageous.
"How is that possible!"
But Xu Siling didn't stop, he followed the enemy's attack direction, pushed forward with a one-handed sword, and stabbed Berkeley's throat with a one-handed sword inertia.
Berkeley wanted to dodge, but found that Xu Siling's sword was too fast!
Without waiting for him to react, in the blink of an eye, the cold glow of the tip of the sword had already arrived in front of him.
Poof.
Xu Siling withdrew the sword into its scabbard.
Berkeley's two-handed sword fell to the floor, his face full of disbelief, his hands clutching his throat.
But the blood in his throat still gushed out from the gap between his fingers, and he couldn't suppress it at all.
After a while, Berkeley fell to the ground weakly, and his breath gradually faded.
This duel was so fast that people couldn't breathe and didn't dare to look away.
Xu Siling could easily kill a knight with just one move.
Everyone fell into a dead silence, and many people didn't even react before they found out that this life-and-death duel was over
Everyone felt their scalps tingle.
After Xu Siling's sword was returned to the sheath, it was directly returned to the original owner and returned to the original owner.
"Thank you."
"No, no thanks." The knight was still in a daze.
Xu Siling patted the guard's shoulder: "I'll have to trouble you later, arrange someone to clean the floor." ”
"Lord Knight Raya. It's not troublesome, I can't afford it." The guards were terrified.
Xu Siling looked at the knight at the gate with an indifferent expression, as if he hadn't done anything just now.
"If you still want to challenge me, come back tomorrow, it's over today."
Then he left the group and frightened each other, and entered the mansion alone. (End of chapter)
