prince of europe in quintiles

The setting sun is like blood, countless remnants and defeated generals on the battlefield are waiting for the winner.

Most of the rebels fled into the forest.A few, such as Howard's immediate family, were abandoned and turned into prisoners of war.

Huo Teng also saw his family.

Father Maddy Sr., and sister-in-law Amelia.

It's a pity that mother, brother, uncle and distant relatives all died in battle.

Seeing Huo Teng coming, the two had complicated expressions.

Maddy didn't dare to look at his son's expression, while Amelia was a little vigilant and hostile.

Kang Nuosha jumped excitedly, walked up to Huo Teng like a girl, and said, "Huo Teng, kneel down!"

She picked up a short sword.

This is to grant Huo Teng a fief.It meant that Huo Teng officially left the church and returned from a monk to a knight family.

Everyone stared at Huo Teng eagerly.

However, under the witness of all the knights, Huo Teng refused to kneel down.

He straightened his back and said, "No, I refuse."

Chapter 12 Sister-in-law, what does this mean?

reject?

The knights were astonished.Then they whispered, did some of Conosha's actions anger Huo Teng?

Dad Ma Di, sister-in-law Amelia and others are also strange and angry.The family needed a new pillar, and Huo Teng refused to return, but did he resent Madi for sending him to the monastery?

In any case, for Göttingen County, which is precarious and has just experienced a tragic civil war, Huo Teng's existence is very important.He has intelligence, both civil and military skills, and he has a group of followers.In this summer when looting wars are extremely easy to break out, everyone's farmland harvest can be preserved.

The Countess of Connorsa looked at Huo Teng with a calm expression, her cheeks flushed with anger, a few angry clouds floated between her brows, her emerald eyes glistened with water, and there were even traces of tears at the corners of her eyes.

The young countess did not expect that Huo Teng, who was not of high status, would dare to disobey her imperial seal?This blow to Conoza's mentality was even far greater than Howard's rebellion.After all, Howard's rebellion can be traced, and it is not uncommon.

But defying the imperial edict is extremely rare.This means that the vassals have no trust in the lord at all, so that they voluntarily give up the fiefdoms that are at their fingertips.

In this feudal era, the monarch chooses his ministers, and the ministers also choose the emperor. What kind of contempt will a lord who is unable to make his vassals accept the imperial title receive?

Connorsa was about to shed tears.

"What are you talking about!" Jones, the Flash Knight, hurried over and was about to kneel down with Huo Teng.

"Do not."

Huo Teng still shook his head.He stared at Conosha's face, his voice was clear, and he justified himself: "My brother just died in battle, and I went home to join the family. I think it's good for my brother, especially Ms. Amelia. It's not fair. I'm more inclined to adopt my children back to Bowenden Village after I have children. Second, I'm a monk, and my study relationship is still in the Göttingen Abbey, and the Abbey... Dean Skok's As you know, I think sorting out the monastery is more important than where I am. In the end... I prefer to provide services for the whole territory, not just a village."

Generally speaking, Huo Teng did not go back because of three reasons.

First, go back too early, as if he wished his brother would die in battle; second, there is still a big problem in the monastery, Skok, that has not been resolved; third, Huo Teng wants to be the prime minister of the palace and manage the entire territory.

Moreover, behind this, there are still two deep reasons.

Huo Teng doesn't think that the Bowendeng family can leave him, so it doesn't matter whether they go back or not on the surface. It's better to let Amelia manage it and fill in the children himself; secondly, Huo Teng controls the internal power of the whole county In the future, it can bring more benefits to the family.

Of course, these simple-minded knights couldn't think of Huo Teng's concerns, they just thought this kid was stupid.

To put it bluntly, who doesn't expect his brother to burp so that he can inherit the family business?

It's good for Huo Teng, not only did he not inherit, but he also sent the child back. Isn't this a two-fold loss?

Old Madi's hair was half white with anger, and he felt that his son really hated him.

Only Amelia, who was worried about herself, half understood what Huo Teng meant.

Connorsa herself was surprised by Huo Teng's overall view.

That's right, Skork still needs to be dealt with.

In the Middle Ages, however, anything related to the church would become extremely troublesome.Skok did not make any moves on the surface. Not only did Connorsa have to greet him with a smile, but if he wanted to continue to receive support from the monastery in religious belief, casting, and medicine, he had to give money and land.

How aggrieved is this?

Conosha looked at the calm Huo Teng, and was once again shocked in her heart.

He counted further than Conosha.

"Okay, I formally appoint you as my court priest, Brother Huo Teng, and I look forward to your performance." Connorsa turned and proudly walked towards the defeated army, gathered the surrendered troops and surrendered nobles.

The rest of the nobles also hurriedly followed.

Only Flash Knight Jones blamed Huo Teng anxiously: "Do you think the aristocratic world is easy to mess with? How many people have never had the chance to obtain a territory in their lifetime."

"Don't worry." Huo Teng smiled slightly.

It is self-confidence.

When the big win is over, it's time to share the spoils.

Huo Teng's subordinates got the most spoils because they contributed the most.But Horten himself didn't get much.

After paying the ransom, the captured nobles went home and hid.Huo Teng got more than sixty gold coins from this deal.

In the end, Bowendeng Village was seriously damaged, and the nobles from all over the place dispersed. Only the Countess of Connorsa and some inner knights stayed here for a few days.Because the capital of Göttingen, Fort Göttingen is in the north, and the situation in the north has not been investigated clearly.

At night, Huo Teng also saw the elite cavalry he had acquired.

Elite Arms: Chivalry Coverers (Basic number of 20 people, monthly salary 8 gold. A team of knight-errants composed of elite knights on horseback and bows and arrows. They come out day and night, rob the rich and help the poor, and enjoy themselves with the nobles in the name of spreading chivalry. enemy. Trait: self-sufficiency)

It’s okay if you don’t watch it, but it just hurts when you read it.

To put it simply, the chivalrous veilers are a group of lightly armored and highly mobile cavalry archers with extremely strong combat effectiveness.

but!

The chivalrous concealer was born to be an enemy of the nobles.If Huo Teng exposed their existence, he would be hostile by other nobles.If they are hidden, it will cost a lot of money and will not be of much use.

And the characteristic system that appeared for the first time is something that arms are born with.This means that if you let the chivalrous concealers go out, they will rob the rich and help the poor among the people without paying wages.

Huo Teng knows the economy.

Let such a group of bandits rob outside, and the normal trade of Bowendeng Village, the money collected from road tax and mill tax will be in vain.

Huo Teng was really worried about how to arrange them.

While worrying, sister-in-law Amelia opened Huo Teng's room.

"You came back in a hurry and failed to clean up the room."

Amelia has a handsome appearance, with long chestnut curly hair, healthy wheat-colored skin, a beautiful oval face, beautiful eyes, smart and majestic, and a slender and slender figure.She was wearing a long white dress, calm and quiet, completely different from her on the battlefield.

Huo Teng looked around and knew that this room actually belonged to Amelia, so he got up and declined, "I'll go to the attic to sleep. This room belongs to you. My father is really stupid..."

Seeing Huo Teng's refusal, Amelia couldn't help being anxious: "You...you can't resign! If you resign, the people below don't know what to think..."

Huo Teng was stunned.

It turned out that if Huo Teng was unwilling to live in the master bedroom, the people below would think that Amelia would not be able to keep Huo Teng.

The little widow will definitely be bullied.

For a moment, this small room was full of embarrassment that could be heard falling to the ground.

"Well... I'll just go to sleep." Huo Teng rubbed his head and had no choice but to agree.

Amelia nodded with a blushing face, and laid another bedding on the ground.

What does this mean?

Chapter 13 The Magical Use of the Chivalrous Masker

In fact, just half a day ago, when Huo Teng and Conosha were discussing the next strategy of Göttingen County, old Madi had an unpleasant conversation with his daughter-in-law Amelia.

The layout of Bowendenburg is very cramped, with two floors and extremely narrow.

The kitchen is next to the living room on the first floor.Madi blocked his daughter-in-law here, with a sincere expression, but rubbing his hands together in embarrassment: "Amelia, there is something I want to discuss with you."

Although Amelia enthusiastically agreed, but when the old Madi let the servants in costumes disperse, Amelia already felt that it was not good.

"Amelia, if you...if you want to remarry, can you consider...just marrying Huo Teng?" Old Ma Di was awkward, and finally spoke out.

Old Madi couldn't help it either.In this era, widows were allowed to remarry.Remarried widows will take away a large amount of property, especially their dowry.If Amelia remarried, the Bowendeng family would not be able to provide decent compensation. Wouldn't the family break up on the spot?

Moreover, Huo Teng is not willing to return, and the owner of the family has changed from Schneider to the widow Amelia.If her arms and legs were crooked and she ran away with the whole family's wealth, the Bowendeng family would be wiped out immediately.

Considering all kinds of considerations, Old Madi had no choice but to take the risk and discuss with his daughter-in-law a solution within the family.

Embarrassed and annoyed, Amelia asked her father-in-law very uncomfortably: "Schneider's body has just been put in the coffin, are you going to humiliate me like this? If you don't want to, I can leave with the dowry."

How dare Maddy!

He had no choice but to say: "I know you don't want to. But listen to the thoughts of the people below. They all think that Huo Teng is coming back. I don't know how to explain to them that Huo Teng doesn't want to go home. From now on, you will take care of the family." Yes, but everyone agrees... oh."

In a nutshell, Maddie spoke of Amelia's plight.

She will take care of the family affairs in the future, but the whole family is counting on Huo Teng.

This is why Amelia lives in Huo Teng's room.

"I warn you, I know how to use a sword." Amelia put a sword beside the bed.

Huo Teng smiled freely and ignored it.

No one really thought that Amelia, who was forced by the situation, would let Huo Teng kiss Fangze.

Besides, Connorsa and Jones still live next door.

After sleeping until midnight, both Huo Teng and Amelia lived in peace.But Connorsa next door couldn't sit still.

"Jones, go and see how far the little widow and Huo Teng are going?" Sitting on the bedside, Connorsa urged Jones to break up the meeting between the dog and the man.

Because the castle was too small, the buildings were all made of wood, and the sound insulation was scarce, Connorsa and Jones listened to the conversation between old Maddy and Amelia.Although she knew that this was the helplessness of the small family, the Countess was still unhappy.After enduring it for half the night, she finally decided to break up this pair of erratic wild mandarin ducks.

Jones got up helplessly and knocked on the door of Huo Teng's room.

As soon as she entered, she realized that Huo Teng and Amelia were sleeping in separate beds and had nothing to do with each other.

"I haven't forgotten the count and my oath." Huo Teng joked humorously.A vow is a matter of marriage.

Jones reported Huo Teng's words to Connorsa, causing the Countess to toss and turn all night.

……

The next day.

Horten and Amelia sat in the main house, receiving the servants and servants of the Bowenden family.

Although Amelia presides over the affairs of the family in name, Huo Teng is the most important thing to let everyone know.

So all the subjects reported to Huo Teng.

According to the traditional rules of the Middle Ages, Bowendeng Village has a village chief who takes care of the affairs of the village, a hunter who patrols the forest, a miller, and a tax collector who blocks roads and collects taxes. The four are relatively privileged officials.In addition, there are a few relatively wealthy free men, who will automatically become supervisors to urge farming during busy farming seasons, and they are also a type of 'squire'.

Huo Teng talked with them one by one to understand the situation in the village.

In fact, Bowendeng Village is very miserable today.All the food was wasted, and less than half of it could be harvested.Due to the war, passing merchants also disappeared, mill donkeys were also killed, and it took a lot of time to resume production.

Huo Teng still had to deal with Skok's affairs, so he took out the dozens of gold coins he had obtained, and told Amelia, "Go buy a donkey first, and let the mill run. Then the hunters went to the surrounding villages to tell them Return safely. You take this money, and this year's tax will be halved."

That's all Huo Teng can do. Amelia accepts the money and gets up shyly to go out to do things in the village.She wants to patrol the village and reassure people.

Back in the countess' bedroom, Connorsa said to Huo Teng angrily, "Give me an idea, what should Skok do?"

It turned out that Matt, the bishop of Göttingen County, had just sent a letter to Conosha, hoping that Conosha would not implicate the pious and reliable Skok because of Howard's rebellion.These two were obviously in a bad mood, but they controlled the religious affairs of Göttingen County, and even the earl had to respect them.

"I have an idea... I have it!"

Huo Teng woke up suddenly.

Howard's son is still in his hands, and Skok should be a person who values ​​brotherhood more.

"I happen to know some Robin Hoods in the jungle. They are good at horseback riding and archery. They are famous thieves nearby. If you use his brother's son as a blackmail, make a deal with Skirk in the wild, and then let the chivalrous concealers ambush..." Huo Teng coldly struck with the knife, meaning to behead him.

"This..." The flashing knight Jones felt a little uncomfortable. This is not in line with the morality of knights.

But in fact, most knights in the Middle Ages were very barbaric, illiterate and jerk.Only an academic cultural person like Jones has such concerns.

Connorsa is also an aristocratic woman who uses scheming. She finalized: "Okay, let's do this. But I am not responsible for dealing with the gangsters you know."
