Why did the lord rebel

Chapter 74 Emergency Meeting

In the evening of that day, a little unhappiness occurred in the newly built Igor family territory.

Just like 90.00% of the contradictions in the world, the root cause of this small dispute is simple:
There was a fool who did a stupid thing.

Today during the day, the bodyguard Tom Lawrence distributed the existing supplies of Frost Maple Ridge to the masters of the craftsman group according to the instructions of the lord.

The reason why the materials need to be distributed is because although they belong to the same craftsman group, the masters each have their own tasks and do not overlap with each other——

For example, the architect, Mr. Donald, led two groups of temporarily recruited migrant workers, who were busy strengthening the fence wall and building the watchtower;

For example, senior blacksmith Kobe is trying to create a batch of low-quality iron rods, which will be used as standard self-defense weapons for the citizens;

For another example, there are several other masters who are repairing the severely worn carriage during the journey.

Therefore, before the lord left for Huafang Town yesterday, he stayed up late to determine the number of wood, iron ingots and tools that each craftsman group was entitled to use, and ordered the guards to strictly follow the distribution plan the next day——

This is also a microcosm of the rationing system currently implemented in Igor's territory under the severe shortage of supplies.

But the problem is that Tom Lawrence missed a box of iron ingots when he distributed the supplies!
This box of relics from the sea was not discovered by the craftsmen until the sun was about to set, which immediately aroused a direct confrontation between Master Donald and Master Kobe!

Both masters argued that this box of iron ingots should have belonged to their own group and had been leaked to them before!

Master Donald shouted: "I want to use this box of iron ingots as reinforcement materials to build a strong wall to ensure that Phoenix Terrace will not be invaded by external forces!

Master Kobe roared: I have worked hard to make weapons. Have you Donald ever seen the sun at four in the morning on Phoenix Terrace?

Even Master Laurie, who proposed to divide the box of iron ingots equally, was rejected by the two masters in unison!
Their reason is simple: Logically, this box of iron ingots should have been assembled by themselves. If they were divided equally, wouldn't it be a waste of half of the box to others?

Master Laurie, who lamented that "people really can't understand each other", just reluctantly watched Master Donald throw off his vest to reveal his eight-pack abs, Master Kobe picked up a steel pipe from an anvil, and the two old men were confronting each other. The fire is getting longer and longer, and it is about to stage a "wrestling grandfather" full of gunpowder-

However, before Master Laurie began to chant the "Calm Spell", the two masters calmed down by themselves.

——Because the lord returned from Huafang Town.

Xiahou Yan, dressed in the misty night, rode into the camp with a gloomy expression like the smog in the North China Plain;

Wilf, the elf slave, was still sitting behind him, and Alice Comstock followed him on horseback as she had left yesterday;
However, when they came back, there was one more person in the team than when they left:

The young troubadour, dressed in brocade clothes, carrying a lute on his back, with a dignified face, also rode behind the lord and passed through the newly built gate of the Phoenix Terrace.

Of course, the residents of Frost Maple Mountain will not know Karim Lodge, so they whispered and whispered for a while:
Who is it?
The lord ignored these idle chatter and rode all the way to the confrontation site of the craftsmen before stopping.

"What's going on here?" The lord sat on the back of a horse, frowning at the two shirtless old masters holding a hammer and a steel pipe.

He felt that the strange scene in front of him was very philosophical.

Facts have proved that in the face of higher power, all the minor contradictions of the subordinates will disappear-

Master Donald and Master Kobe immediately hid their weapons behind their backs, and replied in a tacit understanding: "We are tired from work, let's learn about fighting skills..."

"Let's play and play, don't make fun of safety." The lord, who was in a bad mood, asked casually, no doubt he was there.

The two masters Donald and Kobe hurriedly nodded in agreement, their faces full of cuteness.

"Master Laurie, call Mayor Joel, Clement, and people with important positions to my tent." Xia Houyan said to Master Laurie a little tiredly, "Let's have a small meeting. "

Master Laurie has long noticed that the Lord Lord's expression is wrong;

Moreover, the lord will hold an emergency meeting as soon as he returns from Huafang Town, which further confirms Master Laurie's judgment:
When the lord went to Huafang Town this time, something must have happened!
The master didn't dare to delay at all, and trotted to find someone.

Lawrence, who was a little unusual in his diligence, took two steps forward and helped the lord to get off the horse. To Lawrence, he was very fortunate that Xia Houyan did not talk to him, but turned to look at the unfamiliar man. troubadour.

"Karim, I'm sorry." Xia Houyan said apologetically to Rocky, "Internal family meetings, you can't participate for the time being."

Rocky nodded understandingly, but said nothing.

He knew very well that to the Igor family, he was still an outsider who could not be fully trusted—to be honest, if the lord dared to confess his heart to this spy like this, then he would doubt the reliability of the lord up.

Xia Houyan took another deep look at Rocky before taking Alice and Wilf to his tent.

……

Soon, a group of core members of the Igor family gathered in the big tent newly erected by Lord Lord——

If it sounds good, it is called a hero, and if it sounds ugly, it is called a rabble.

Xia Houyan sat in the first place with a gloomy expression, naturally posing as a mountain eagle.

Below him are Victor Laurie, the chief mage and head of the craftsman group of the family, Johnson Joel, the territorial master and head of the agricultural group, and Alice Comstock, Juan K. Lement two military backbones.

In addition, the middle-level leaders of each group, such as Mr. Donald and Mr. Kobe, were also present and sat on the ground.

To everyone's surprise, the elf slave Vilf was also present.

She stood behind the lord, doing her best to perform the proper function of a slave—shoulders.

It's not that Xia Houyan trusts Wilf, it's the elf girl who went to Huafang Town together. She heard everything she should have heard, and she knew everything she should know. There is nothing to talk about today. Necessary for confidentiality;

Besides, the elf's soft little fists are quite comfortable.

"Everyone, I'm sorry for wasting everyone's time." Xia Houyan cleared his throat and started the emergency meeting.

Everyone looked at the lord with awe, and the two master craftsmen of the craftsman group looked particularly nervous.

Xia Houyan looked at the participants, licked his lips, and then said in a clear and deep voice:
"Have you all seen the troubadour in the camp? He's a spy for Archduke Rosario - don't talk, I'll explain it later - this time I went to Huafang Town for nothing, but from him There, I got news from Katerina and the others."

The participants looked at each other.

Only Master Laurie's status and emotional intelligence are high enough, and he said:
"Then where are Lord Elliot, Miss Katerina and the others now?"

Xia Houyan took a deep breath, gritted his teeth and replied:

"They were kidnapped by a group of son-of-a-bitch bandits!"
