"Don't rush to mourn!" The king slapped the table with his scepter, which quickly made everyone quiet, "There is still something good to tell you."

The king glanced at Wu Xiaoqing and said: "If I follow my original temper and the performance of you people, I will hang one of the three, and for the remaining two, one will cut off his sworn hand, and the other will cut off his speech." Tongues! Once you, and your fathers, used the swords in your hands to snatch the crowns on your heads, but now, you are all huddled in your own small castles, and you are afraid even when you hear a war. You are still trying to resist the will of the king you swear allegiance to! The most ridiculous thing is that you think you can scare me with your more than 20 tongues! Who gave you such courage, the Dayang Sect is still a coward Yangjiao? Or are they two sun gods together?"

The king sat down in his seat, took a sip of wine, and continued his words: "So I planned to take you to escape the doomsday of the world, but since you are so unwilling to leave, I will not force you to stay... You are no longer hounds that can hunt, and now you have been raised as girl pets who can only bark and not bite. You can stay and bring your titles and property. Here, I can even help you arrange the next one. King! Stand up, Duke Antony! Open your eyes and listen carefully. I, Ellis Mill, hereby solemnly declare that he is your next king."

Anthony didn't dare to stand up, and these people didn't dare to cheer. Everyone was like a sheep stared at by a lion. Their whole bodies were stiff and they didn't dare to move.

"You can stay, but each of your families must send a son to be the commander of your army," Ellis said, "No heirs, and no heirs under the age of 15. I don't need them to be brave and good at fighting, as long as they can Riding a horse, it’s fine if you don’t like talking as much as you do. I will take your blood to survive the end of the world, and one day in the future, when I bring them back to this land, I will let them dig graves and erect monuments for you .Okay, I'm done, you guys, you can start, remember, speak simple and direct! Otherwise, I'm not sure if I have the patience to continue listening."

"Your Majesty... Your Majesty," stammered one of the king's sons-in-law, "but I have... not yet... no heir..."

The king glanced at him: "Guards! Guards, come here! Take this coward out of the palace for me, forty lashes! Go tell my daughter, I will find another husband for him, find someone who can speak normally, dare to go to bed!" A man of the battlefield."

No one dared to stand up and say a word, the air seemed to be frozen, and even Wu Xiaoqing felt cold sweat on his back.None of the lords dared to sit any longer, but half-kneeled beside their chairs.Wu Xiaoqing clearly saw several people trembling with fright.

"You don't talk," the king said with a cold smile, "then I will, you all acquiesced to my suggestion just now... Now, I will go back and continue to destroy that plate of roast lamb, and you, and my business Officer, stay here and carry out your king's will. Be quick, I hope you will have finished it by the time I finish eating the roast lamb, remember, be quick, your king is very hungry now, A roast lamb can't satisfy him, after eating, he might be very interested in having some desserts after the meal."

Then Ellis left, and Wu Xiaoqing had to follow immediately. He originally wanted to stay and watch the play.

Wu Xiaoqing chased Elis to his bedroom, but found that the bedroom door was closed.Wu Xiaoqing hurriedly knocked on the door, and the search and rescue team shouted: "It's dangerous for you to eat alone!"

"I didn't eat." Ellis' voice was very different from that in the hall just now, and he sounded tired. "Envoy, I just want to rest for a while."

"Are you feeling well?" Wu Xiaoqing asked with concern, for fear that the king had some complications from diabetes.

The search and rescue team stopped him at this time: "It's okay... I scanned it, and he is recovering in it."

"Recovery?" Could it be that he was too angry just now and lost control of his anger?It should be the group of lords who have been frightened and foolish to restore their emotions. Everyone was frightened, like chickens.

"Not angry," the search and rescue team turned on the see-through function of the glasses, and Wu Xiaoqing immediately saw what the king looked like in the room.King Elis, who was roaring like a lion just now, is pacing back and forth in his room with trembling lips. His steps are very restless, and it can be seen that he is in a messy mood. At this moment, the king's mood is not like As confident as he was just now, "He's afraid."

"What is he afraid of?"

"Of course I'm afraid that we are liars... Why are so many lords unwilling to go with us? Do you think this king is the wisest? Even if he has seen the video and is very convinced by what he says, he is still afraid in his heart. If It’s not that he’s sick, he can’t live without us, and I’m afraid it’s not so easy to go with us. His trouble today is a complete break with the past. Think about it, a king wants to give up his entire kingdom, and he will spend his whole life Your hard work, can you not be afraid?"

"Then what should I do?" Wu Xiaoqing thought for a while, "What if he regrets halfway through?"

"No," said the search and rescue team. "He is a man of determination. Once he has made a decision, he will not regret it. Give him time and he will adapt."

Wu Xiaoqing waited outside the door for half an hour. During this time, those lords had already written their letters. Just as the king predicted before the meeting, few of these lords dared to confront their king head-on.

Kings in the feudal era didn't need any reason to kill people, and after killing them, don't expect their descendants and brothers to avenge them after inheriting their titles—that's just what happened in novels.In fact, they can only be grateful to the king himself who bestowed their titles.If they don't show their loyalty here, it's their turn to stand on their corpses to show their loyalty.

When Ellis came out, her face seemed to have completely regained all the momentum just now.The appearance of holding a scepter in his hand gave Wu Xiaoqing the feeling, just like seeing those parents who beat their children with a feather duster before beating their children.

Children, no, the lords have obediently written all the letters, and twenty letters were neatly placed in front of Elis.Elis didn't open and read each letter, but asked the secretary to take out each letter in front of everyone, and read them one by one to everyone in public.

"Dear son, I can't wait to tell you a very good news. The king rewarded us with a batch of precious jewels, and now we need some people to transport these jewels back. Send the most elite knights in the city, With you personally leading the team, the time has come for us to transfer..."

"Dear mother, when you read the letter, please immediately follow our previous agreement and let all the knights set off to King Elis. By the way, call John and prepare the best armor for him..."

"...Give weapons to everyone in the territory who can use a sword, don't worry about the rent..."

"Call every knight and warrior of our house and tell them that the time has come to serve their lord..."

"...all the grain in the granary is shipped, and the price of grain in King Elis City has risen sharply. Now is a good time. Remember to send more guards. The road is very uneven..."

……

The contents of these letters are all similar, and they are all explained to the family members and asked the family members to send troops.It's just that many people use different names. Judging from these names, it is obvious that these lords do not have as much control over their castles and troops as they imagined.Many times it is necessary to use lies - such as transporting food, transporting valuables for rewards, or lying to the family that there is a chance of being promoted to the title.For their heirs would have liked to see their fathers hanged by King Aerys for failing to keep their promises, if the truth had been fully told.

The only one among the lords who did not write was Duke Antony, for he had already done all these things.

After reading all the letters, the faces of these lords have completely turned gray.King Elis' action is tantamount to putting the faces of all the nobles on the ground, like mopping the floor.It can be said that the most embarrassing side of everyone was forced out by Elis.

When Wu Xiaoqing stood aside and listened to these letters, he almost had the illusion that these were kidnapping letters written by the hostages to their family members to pay the money quickly in order to deal with the kidnappers.There are a few letters in which the subtext can almost be heard-Dad, Mom!If you don't pay people and food, your son's life may not be saved.

It can be said that after such an incident, it is impossible for the king and these nobles to trust each other.However, this also happened to be in line with the search and rescue team's thinking. In this way, even if the king had completely boarded their thief ship, it would be impossible to turn back.

The letters were handed over to the families of the respective lords and asked them to take them back. After conveying the letters, the lords were arranged to go to the guest rooms to rest.Their family members were informed that these lords needed to live in the palace for a period of time to discuss "jihad matters", and because of the need for confidentiality, they would not accept visits.
