king of ros

Chapter 101
"Today is really tiring."

In Rostov's castle, Rostislav finally took off his serious mask after the accompanying soldiers withdrew.

The prince put on his nightgown and threw himself on the big bed in the room, his face showing the activeness and boredom of complicated things that should be at his age.

When facing Rostislav's serious face, many people forget that their prince is only 17 years old this year.

Rostislav's headache was only aggravated by today's rumors about the verdict, and he had to listen to those parents' short stories, which was really too painful.

"It will be fine in the future. Today is mainly to deal with the things accumulated during this period."

In front of the dressing table on the other side of the room, Zoe, who also changed into a white nightgown, said.

Compared with her husband, she is more used to such an interview. This is the first time she is on such an occasion, and she listens with great interest.

There was a hint of contempt for her husband's current performance in Zoe's tone, which naturally caught Rostislav's attention. He understood the teasing meaning, and he said angrily,
"You find it interesting now, but it won't happen later. I have attended my father's audience since I was a child, and I have long seen these things to the point of vomiting."

As the son of the prince of Norse, Rostislav followed his father to participate in various political events since he was a child.

It is even more necessary to participate in such things as the prince's audience. At first, like Zoe, he enjoyed it with relish, but soon became numb.

"Okay, okay, you're right."

Zooey followed her husband and sat down on the edge of the bed.

"Is this group of people going to do something? I suspect that today's purchase is just a trial."

Zoe took advantage of the opportunity and sat on the bed, and continued to talk to her husband, she always felt that the smile of the Bulgarian envoy was malicious.

"Well, maybe, the Bulgars might indeed do something. Since my ancestors defeated them, the Bulgars have always been at a disadvantage against Ross. Now that Ross is split, they might want to take this opportunity to touch me."

Rostislav thinks the same as his wife, and he is very clear about the ultimate goal of the Bulgars, so they have never done little tricks for this reason.

The prince remembered that when his grandfather was handling government affairs in Novo, he had ordered Rostov to strengthen the defense against the Bulgars. At that time, news of the Bulgarian changes had already come. area, but Yaroslav ordered the Northeast Rus cities to jointly give him a strong counterattack, so that the Bulgars were honest.

"Does that mean there will be another war?"

Lostness appeared on Zoe's face. Whenever the war broke out, her husband would leave her. Although the life in Northeast Ross was difficult, it was fine to be with her husband.

But if war broke out, the husband would have to leave her again, and she would have to worry about his safety.

Rostislav didn't say much about this, he just hugged Zoe's head, stroked the black hair, and a gentle smile appeared on his face.

"Let him come when the war comes, I will win the final victory, I will not die, the Estonians did not kill me, the Polovets did not kill me, St George will Those who take care of me on the battlefield."

Although she knew it was comforting, the prince's words made Zooey feel much better, but then Rostislav suddenly turned over, pressed her under him and rolled up her nightgown.

"But let's forget about distant things now, ma'am, everyone is looking forward to us giving birth to a child as soon as possible."

Although Rostislav was a teenager, everyone was looking forward to him having a child. On the battlefield, swords and guns had no eyes. For the worst possible situation, the prince left offspring to make everyone feel at ease.

"kindness."

Zooey replied with a blushing face.

While Rostislav was establishing his authority in Rostov, in Tver—a city that does not yet exist—Rostislav's standard-bearer Yang was overseeing a mining site, watching the people go about their business.

Jan was putting on his armor now, arming himself like a tin can.

The camp they were in was at the foot of a large mountain, and the miners were hitting the rocks on the hillside with their picks.

In this mining camp, even the miners are wearing weapons, and the soldiers on duty are even more fully armed, and the reason why they are so vigilant is that attacks may appear at any time.

Yes, it could happen at any time. Although those Weixi people are good and weak in a serious fight, their harassment is still very annoying. Shoot an arrow today and kill a person tomorrow, making everyone extremely annoying.

When is this damn day going to happen?

Yang couldn't help but think that even if he believed in Rostislav again, he began to doubt whether his prince was right at this moment.

Yang's team consisted of fifty soldiers and hundreds of miners. Most of these miners were recruited by princes in Kyiv at a high price, and the leader was an engineer who had worked in the imperial capital.

They formed a mining exploration team, came here to find the existence of the Kashin silver mine in Rostislav memory.

Since Rostislav only knew that this thing was in the Kashin area of ​​Tver, but not where it was, Jan's team had to search one by one after finally finding out where the Kashin area was from the local population.

Exploration was started wherever possible mines were found, but so far the results have been all waste, and nothing has been obtained except a pile of stones.

The attitude of the local Ross people towards them is quite gentle, and they can still stand together because of common interests, but the Visi people, a branch of the Finns who live here, are different.

They kept attacking Yang's team. Although they couldn't cause any major casualties to Yang's team, the continuous harassment was disgusting.

It was only later that Yang found out that the local Rus and Visi had fought several large-scale battles for resources a few years ago, and the relationship has always been bad. Now the arrival of Yang's team is believed to be the Rus's intention to further colonize this land.

So they harassed Young's team constantly, making Young's team miserable.

Fortunately, because of this, Yang's team can also easily get support from Ross Village, which is the reason for the common interests mentioned earlier.

The people in these villages were happy to provide materials and manpower for Yang, and some even planned to recommend Yang to be the local lord to lead them to defeat those Visi people.

But Yang didn't have that kind of thought. The most important thing now was Rostislav's mission. As for the others, we had to complete the mission first.
