Chapter 398: What the nobles expect [Lelan]
Wall's army set out in an orderly manner; but when he came back, he was not so polite.
Duke Majin is still alive, and these soldiers still have a common commander;
But now... it is absolutely impossible for a 50,000 army to listen to one person again.
Most of these 50,000 troops were drawn from the various noble leaders in the northern border; they each had their own direct nobles;
In normal times, these nobles all followed Duke Ma Jin's arrangement, but now...
Originally, there were three marquises in the north; Lelan on the west side were not present when he retreated; Thorne Lek on the south side was bedridden all year round; Sid Ryan on the east side... Well, he is no longer from the east side.
In other words, in the 50,000 army, when the duke died, the rest were all earls. Everyone was at the same level. Who was afraid of whom?
Even Wall never expected such an extreme situation - without a will or a subsequent commander, although the army could not be said to be disintegrated, it was divided into more than ten small teams, each running towards Blade City according to its respective rest time.
Why are you so anxious? You have to swear allegiance to the second young master!
Although these nobles were not convinced by each other, one thing was certain - they all supported the eldest son before.
As for the "weak" guys who supported the second young master, they all stayed in their respective territories or Blade City. From the objects they supported, it can be seen that these people are not good at fighting.
But now, these people are the most powerful; they have the current Duke of the North as their backer, and it is estimated that everyone is sharpening the warlike nobles who are rushing back - they have to deal with these people well!
The earlier you go back, the less punishment you will probably be.
The cavalry team is naturally faster than the infantry team; among them, although the North Wrath is a heavy cavalry, because of their good horses, high personnel quality, and... they are more tough when crossing the river, they are the first to rush back to Wallling.
Of course, the Wrath of the North cannot just come back like this - they brought the body of Duke Markin Wall, and everyone showed extreme sadness on their faces: it’s not that they have any feelings for this guy, but that the opportunity to make achievements and make more plans for their future disappears like this. How can we not be sad?
Almost all these people are knights, and the centurion is at least a baron; the replacement of the lord of the Northland has a considerable impact on them.
The person led by this cavalry team is Modo Wall, who is a generation younger than Makin and is Mogmok's cousin - speaking of this person, this person is a bit kinship with Lelan.
Back then, his aunt married Gray Colonel far away, and the wife happened to be Lelan Hui's mother. By this calculation, Lelan actually has the blood of the Wall family and has the right to inherit the North in legal terms.
Of course, it is incomparable to the second young master.
Earl Modo, who rushed back in a hurry, was quite anxious - he knew that his cousin, the second son Mok, was about to ascend to the throne of duke;
But I have a very bad relationship with him.
In order to please the eldest son Mog, he "expressed his loyalty" in front of Mog many times - among them, there are many behaviors that belittle Mog's stimulation;
At the same time, the actions Mok advocated were contrary to the interests of the nobles:
What, improve slave rights? Do you pay the money?
What, reduce farmers' taxes? Do you take the money?
What, building convenient facilities? Do you give the money?
The fat man was filled with a smell of not knowing where the money came from. Can such a person be the lord of the North?
This is absolutely not OK... It is completely different to have the final say in my brother!
Moduo was frowning about this; even if he was the first to return to the vicinity of Binfeng City with his power, he would not be happy at all.
All he was thinking about was how to please the new lord, and at the same time he was full of concern for Modo.
Will this fat man take revenge on his own?
So, when he saw the soldiers stationed on both sides of the main road in the remote suburbs of Renfeng City, he was really surprised - were these people coming to take them back to the city?
But when he saw the noble in the leader, he felt relieved again - Lelan Hui had met him several times, and his relationship was not bad.
By the way, didn’t he lead the soldiers who came back from the Central Realm to prepare to complete the handover at Binfeng City? He was really a little bit full of soldiers...
"Long time no see, cousin Modo!" Lelan was older than Modo, but in order to show his enthusiasm, he still dismounted and bowed to Modo first;
"Cousin Lelan, I haven't seen you for a long time!" Moduo calmed down and dismounted and greeted him.
"You and I haven't seen each other for a long time. Today we must talk about our old relationship!" After the two of them greeted each other, Lelan intended to invite Modu to drink and reminisce about the past, but Modu was not very interested in this.
"Cousin Lelan... You don't know anything. I really have something to do..." Modu said in a low voice.
"The important matter, hey, brother, your important matter is to have a good drink with me!" Lelan patted Moduo's shoulder hard, took the opportunity to narrow the distance with Moduo, and whispered in his ear:
"The guards in Blade City are mobilized... there seems to be something abnormal. If you enter the city now...haha." Lelan's last meaningful smile made Modu's hair stand on and he trembled.
"Since that's the case, it's really hard to refuse the kindness, it's hard to refuse the kindness, hahaha..." Moduo's attitude immediately changed.
He ordered the wrath of the Northland—and Duke Makin’s coffin to be repaired directly on the roadside, and then he was half-pulled and half-pulled by Lelan to the tent.
There was already wine and some side dishes prepared - they were all made from Renfeng Village, not very exquisite, but Modu was not in the mood to take care of that -
He only cares about what the city has become.
All the nobles who supported the eldest son were pulled out to conquer by Duke Wall; the remaining nobles who could not be beaten, the nobles who supported the second son monopolized the power in the city of Binfeng.
Now, the second young master is the master of the entire northern border. If he really wants to kill these guys outside the city...
"Come on, let's have some drinks first." Lelan personally poured the wine, and then asked all the servants to wait outside the tent, leaving only two cousins;
Moduo was not polite, and he was stuffy in one breath, then sighed - What should I do next?
"It seems that Brother Modo has no mood to reminisce about the past." Lelan took a symbolic sip, "By the way, I don't know what happened over the Lein leader? Why did the army return so abruptly?"
This is a good method to ask clearly; pretending that you don’t know much about the situation, the other party’s “sincere” reply can quickly narrow the distance between the two and switch to the same position—
The most important thing is to make the other party unaware that he has been plotted against.
