Tales of the Reincarnated Lord

Chapter 458: Conspiracy

It was Grand Duke Fesabrun who appeared in front of the two of them, but he was wearing a nightgown, with soft cloth slippers on his feet, and no weapons. He seemed to wake up in the middle of the night to drink a few sips of water. Looks like.

Lorist patted Genorio on the shoulder, motioned him to retract the saber, and asked strangely: "Why are you here?"

"Hehe, I can't sleep, I woke up in a circle, the moonlight is beautiful tonight, I just wandered to your side without knowing it..." Grand Duke Feisabrun said something quite true.

Lorist curled his lips with a look of contempt, deceitful old man, the villa you live in is still three houses away from me, you wandered around in my back garden, and you didn't hide it. The guard of the night watch on the periphery, did you come out unintentionally? Obviously there is something to talk to me secretly and I don't want to be noticed.

"Go to the study." Lorist turned and left, too lazy to talk nonsense with the old man.

Although Genorio is tall and strong, he has a keen mind and knows how to look at his eyes. He stepped into the study and lit a candle, then carefully closed the curtains, and then asked Lorist: "Your Highness, what do you need? ?"

"Go get some snacks, there are still a few bottles of good wine in the cellar. You can go to rest when you are over, it is late at night." Lorist said.

Genorio replied and went out, but Grand Duke Fesabren beamed: "The Duke of Kenmax treats you more respectfully than his Majesty. I will leave the best villa here for you to live in, and he will treasure it. All the good wines are delivered to your wine cellar. This time your Majesty came here, but he only gave up his residence, but didn't let you move out of this house..."

His Royal Highness rushed here a few days ago. According to the usual practice, the most luxurious villa here should be let out as his place of stay. But because he came without notice, the best villa here has been occupied by Lorist. The Duke of Kenmes was also very slippery. He didn't mention it at all. Instead, he gave up his house to the Second Highness, and then moved to a small house on the edge of the villa area. This move made those who want to see jokes. People have nothing to say.

No one dared to come and let Lorist give the house to His Majesty the King. Even the second highness didn’t mind. He said to the nobles, come first, come first, I’m just an uninvited guest, and the Duke of Kenmez gave me his own house. Now, can I blame him for anything else?

In fact, everyone knew in their hearts that if Lorist was asked to cede the house to the second highness, then Lorist would definitely do it, but then he would immediately pat his **** and go back to the north, and then the second highness' plot would be completely defeated.

"Do you know how many good bottles of wine this guy Kenmez took from me? Although it can't compare to you, I don't bother to care about him." Lorister asked Grand Duke Fesabrunn to sit down. .

After being in contact with this old man for a long time, Lorist discovered that this old man was expensive as a Grand Duke and a third-level sword master, but he was a greedy and lustful guy. He really didn't understand how he became a three-great sword master. Especially good wine, just like the Duke of Kenmes, but the Duke of Kenmes can enter the study of Lorester and find good wine in the wine cabinet, and this old man can’t enter the study, but he has another way. Qing came to participate, but soon disappeared, and then he can be found in the wine cellar.

All the good wines in Lorester are not bought, but trophies. When the slave kingdom on the Haneabad Islands was destroyed, the most harvested was the various fine wines collected in the slave aristocratic manor, which added up to tens of thousands of bottles. At that time, Lorist wanted to reward these fine wines to the soldiers armed with the family, but was stopped by Fatty Shi. Fatty Shi said that the lowest price of these Tibetan wines was worth a few Golden Ford, and the highest was worth nearly a thousand. They could not tell the difference between these good wines and bad wines for soldiers to enjoy. It was a waste.

As a result, these tens of thousands of bottles of fine wine were transported back to the North for storage. In the past ten years, the family’s various activities such as New Year’s celebrations and other celebrations, plus the rewards and daily consumption of Lorist, are almost there. Nearly ten thousand bottles are gone. Since the Grand Duke Feisabrun joined the Norton family to participate in the New Year celebration, throughout the winter and rainy season, he went to the wine cellar to choose two or three bottles of fine wine every day. I have to take two boxes back when I leave.

With a rough calculation, every time the old man came to participate in the New Year's celebration, he drank almost three hundred bottles of good wine. The angry and distressed Director Speer cursed him to drink to death. It's a pity that Grand Duke Feisabrun is a third-level swordsman. He is strong and healthy, and he can eat and drink. He cursed him for help. As the grandfather of Princess Silvia, the mistress of the Norton family, every time he enters the wine cellar is like strolling in his own vegetable garden, Director Speer has to smile and greet her warmly...

"Let's say, what's the matter when you touch me when you stay up most of the night?" Loristra pulled a chair and sat down in front of Duke Fesabrun.

"It's okay, I really just wander around." The old man was still stiff.

"Do you think I can believe it?" Lorist despised: "Did your majesty ask you to touch my bottom?"

"No." The old man denied, "I came so late to hide from him."

"Really? What are you thinking of?" Lorist said to his heart that the old man is so wicked, I have to be careful.

Grand Duke Feisabrun leaned back and slumped on the sofa: "I didn't have any ideas at all, okay? I wanted to come over and ask why you refused to send troops."

"Do you still need to think about it? What do you say I sent troops to help your Majesty? He has promised you very good terms, but what benefits can he give us the Norton family? He does not have as much money as our family, and we have reached the top of the title. Territory is even less likely to increase. I don’t want to talk about the righteousness of unifying the empire. It is a lie. I only know that it is impossible for the soldiers armed by the Norton family to sacrifice for the so-called righteousness in vain.” Lorris Tell the truth.

"Well, what you said is true." Grand Duke Feisabrun nodded in agreement. This is also the tradition of the aristocracy. Interests are paramount. There is no conflict of interest. It is a kind of harmony. When there is interest, the brothers will settle accounts. The white knife goes in and the red knife goes out. Every bit must be counted clearly. Those who teach loyalty and learn from Lei Feng are either regarded as fools or suspected of having bad intentions.

"By the way, what conditions and benefits did Your Majesty promise you the Fesabrunn family for you to agree to send troops?" Lorist asked.

"I haven't promised to send troops yet." Grand Duke Fisabrunn replied.

"What did you say?" Lorist was startled: "Why didn't you agree to send troops?"

Originally thought that he would be the first to respond to the request of the Second Highness to send troops to the war, Grand Duke Fesabrunn didn't even agree to send troops, which really aroused Lorester's curiosity.

"It's very simple. I tell your Majesty that if the Norton family does not send troops, then the Fesabrunn family cannot send troops. Because the Fesabrunn family armed forces have always regarded the Norton family armed forces as their biggest opponents. If the Norton family refuses to send troops, then We can't send troops just to prevent them." Grand Duke Feisabrun replied.

"You..." Lorist's eyes suddenly turned bad: "Old man, you think that our Norton family is not enough to roast on the fire, and you are pouring kerosene into the fire?"

The old man made it clear that he disliked that the conditions and prices offered by His Highness to him were inadequate, and it was not easy to refuse in person, so he pulled the Norton family out as a shield.

"You have a good pot shake... But do you think your majesty will believe your rhetoric?" Lorist sneered.

"I don't know if your Majesty believes it or not, anyway, I believe it." The old man was very calm.

Lorist gave a thumbs up: "Old man, you are too shameless. In the past three years, you ran our family to participate in the New Year celebrations and drank so many good wines from our family. You really think your Majesty is a deaf fool. I don’t know you. Whereabouts?"

The old man was very calm: "So what if you know? Don’t forget that I’m Silvia’s grandfather. Go and see what is the relationship between my granddaughter. Besides, your majesty is concerned about whether there is military cooperation between our two families. I have already Acknowledging that your four Northland alliances force our family to buy so many daily necessities and civilian supplies every year, but refuse to sell us military supplies. Your Majesty also persuaded me to be patient and not to conflict with you. Let me ask for everything... …"

Lorist was speechless. The old man was worthy of being an old fox. He could tell his relationship with him in a few words. He also said that attending the New Year's Day every year was his own humiliation and cooperating with the Fesabrunn family and the four Northland families. His business activities were said to have been persecuted and oppressed, and then the Second Highness, who was full of the great cause of the unified empire in his mind, even believed his lie...

Lorist shook his head sadly and sighed: "You old man has two sides and three swords, and you are the rudder of the wind. Back then, the second prince established the Iberian Kingdom and your Fesabrun family was behind him. Now he has turned into your Majesty’s in-laws. It is simply outrageous for your Majesty to trust you and pass our Norton family, which has been working for the kingdom."

"Haha..." Fissabrun wanted to say something, when the door was knocked, Genorio brought in a few bottles of good wine, and brought in a few dishes from the servants outside the door. Came in, and then left to Lorist.

The old man picked up a bottle of good wine with glowing eyes and pulled out the pine cork, first poured himself a glass and drank it, and then filled the silver cup in front of Lorist.

"Let's talk about it, what conditions did your majesty offer you that made you unsatisfied and threw the pot on our heads?" Lorist asked slightly, tasting the wine in the silver cup.

"It's nothing, it's nothing more than a promise to give us another 200,000 immigrants to our family territory, but we want our family to dispatch two legions..."

Lorist smiled: "I think that's the case. Your Majesty can't offer any better terms. Don't forget that if our Norton family falls in the future, your Fesabrun family will become your Majesty soon. The biggest taboo in my heart..."

"So we are now using your Norton family as an excuse, and the sky is falling and you are up to it. As long as we clearly regard you as the greatest enemy, your Majesty will always believe in our family. But we want to use 200,000 immigrants. Just send us the Fiesabrunn family to work for him, he thinks too wonderfully." The old man said indignantly.

"Then tell me, what do you want?" Lorist asked amusedly.

"We want to have a province in the interior." The old man replied.

"Um..." Lorist shook his hand and almost fell the cup: "Is it possible? Don't dream, old man, if you drink too much, go back to wash and sleep..."

"Of course it is possible." The old man said solemnly: "If you are willing to cooperate, this condition is easy for your majesty to accept. Also, I have only drunk two glasses and did not arrive at a bottle. How could I be drunk."

"Really? You are not drunk? Think about it, your Fesabrunn family, like our Norton family, owns one territories and two territories. This is the end. Why will your majesty add more to your family? In the territory of a province, doesn't he worry that the power of our two families is not growing fast enough?" Lorist laughed.

"That’s why I think it’s a good opportunity now. Both you and I know the first strategy planned by His Majesty this time, which is to regain Andrów Province, Puerto Olga, Campona and the Northwest Territories. This goal is easy. Achieved, the two provinces of the former Principality of Rulm need to be negotiated to resolve. It is very likely that no major war will occur. His Majesty can only suppress others by force, relying on nearly a million troops to force the business alliance to return the two provinces and achieve protocol.

In terms of risk, His Majesty’s plan is highly successful, and participating in this war is beneficial and harmless. It's just that our two families still need greater benefits, instead of letting our majesty leak a little benefit from his fingers. If you and my two cooperate more ingeniously, your majesty will meet the requirements of our two families. "The old man is tempted.

Lorist shook his head: "I still don't want to participate. This war is not good for our family."

"Aren't you interested in Muyeyuan Province?" Grand Duke Feisabrun hit the nail on the head.

"Haha...what if you are interested? Will your Majesty canonize Makinoyuan Province as the jurisdiction of our Norton family? Also, what are you thinking about? Don't forget that Makinoyuan Province is your Fey Sablon family Territory..." Lorist stared at the old man.

"The idea I made is good for both of us. You just need to remember this. Your Majesty will talk to you about the conditions for sending troops, so you tell him and ask him to transfer Makinohara Province to you. As a jurisdiction, you promise to send troops..."

"Simply put, what excuse do I want Makinohara Province to use?"

"Stupid boy, you just said that just in case, you are worried that our Fiesabrunn family will launch a raid on the Northland? Just look at the map and you will understand that with Makinohara province, no one can directly raid. Northland, this is also for the safety of the Northland family territory... You only have to insist that Makinohara province be the jurisdictional territory before agreeing to send troops~www.readwn.com~ Then your majesty will have to discuss with me..." the old man analyzed very clear.

Lorist laughed: "Then you will ask your Second Royal Highness to take out an inland province to compensate your Fesabrunn family? But I don’t understand, your Feysabrunn family has developed well on the Northeast Prairie. Yes, why should an inland province be a family territory? Dividing the family power into two halves is easier to be broken by others..."

Grand Duke Feisabrunn sighed: "Boy, you will understand the difficulty of being a family leader when your Norton family's relatives grow stronger. If the provinces in the interior, the three provinces of our Feisabrun family territory will have been The enfeoffment is completely clean. But in the Northeast Prairie, we can't do this. We can only stay together for warmth and unity can survive.

Today our family has nearly a thousand people, with mixed good and bad, intrigues and conflicts. Even as the head of the family, sometimes I can't do anything about it. That’s why we want an inland province to kick out all the obtrusive things in the family and let them fend for themselves in the territory of that inland province. It is called family separation, which is a way to preserve the family’s blood inheritance. This is also a kind of self-purification of the family, so as to stabilize the foundation of the family territory, understand? "

Lorist was silent.

Grand Duke Feisabrun drank the leftover wine in the glass in one sip, reached out and grabbed two bottles of good wine and stood up and said: "You know it in your heart, and I should go too, lest you be discovered. Remember, you just have to insist on Muye. The original province will do. The remaining Majesty will discuss with me, hehe, he will agree to our conditions. Without the participation of our two families, he would not have much confidence in this war!"

Grand Duke Feisabrun walked away unconsciously, but the candle in Lorist's study was lit until dawn.
