Chapter 420 The Viscount Builds the Castle (1)
The snow country in May, according to the original climate, should be the day when the snow began to melt, but the effect of "God's punishment" in the beginning of the year has delayed the seasonal changes a lot.
Although there is no snow or strong wind, the cold weather is still there, and the thickness of the snow has only slightly decreased by a few centimeters.
At this moment, the Viscount Harr collar made people feel even more cold. All the bright colors of Weichai disappeared and changed into black and white. These two colors were originally very common. Many people like to wear such clothing colors. However, when all the flags were replaced with these two colors, everyone knew one thing.
Viscount Hal died.
When they received the news, when the people in Viscount Har's leadership were lamenting the impermanence of life, they were praying to trust Lord Viscount to maintain the policy of becoming Lord Viscount so that they could live a stable life, but for the common people, that's all.
Unlike the simple and simple ideas of the common people, Zhou, the surrounding nobles waited and watched with caution. After the last battle, everyone knew that Viscount Hal was an ally of Count Bick and the second most powerful person in Count Bick's territory.
Now that such a powerful person has fallen, the power ranking of Earl Beck will be turbulent again. If the successor is weak and incompetent, it will not happen that he will seize the Viscount Harr.
Their faces changed drastically. Their willingness to submit to Viscount Hal does not mean that they are willing to submit to Viscount Hal's heirs. Moreover, the conflict between the external vassals and the internal vassals is not a little bit. Now no one knows how the new Viscount will treat their old vassals, whether to win over or derogate them? Although they don't really want to die, under the threat of Dayi, the vassals could only go to Har Castle with uneasiness.
In this way, with different moods, the powerful and powerful who received the news either personally or sent their confidants to attend Viscount Hal's funeral.
So when Cons and his party entered Viscount Hal, they were shocked to find that the mourning flags hanging everywhere were floating.
Viscount Hal died? Seeing this flag that could only be raised by the local lord, Cons couldn't help but be stunned. This was too surprising. I saw Viscount Hal not long ago, and I was very strong. Why did I die at this moment?
However, Cons did not suspect that Viscount Hal was killed, because according to convention, the lord who stayed in his castle could not be assassinated and killed unless the castle was broken.
Moreover, Viscount Hal's son and vassals all said that Viscount Hal was food poisoning and died of sudden illness due to inability to rescue. A group of chefs and servants of Viscount Hal's castle were killed because of this.
Who would suspect that Viscount Hal was killed in this case?
Since he knew the news, Cons asked the large army to go to Qingxiang Town by himself. He and a group of heads of the merchant regiment left behind to participate in the Viscount's funeral and the New Viscount's recognition ceremony. These two things began immediately after the arrival of the envoy sent by Earl Beck. Perhaps because everything was simple during the war, the matter was resolved in a few days.
Viscount Hal's son legally became Viscount Hal's surname. It turned out that the viscount was immediately forgotten into the ravine.
Cons noticed that the vassals in Viscount Hal's castle were deeply hostile to him.
Cons was not surprised, because not long ago, these people encouraged the Jinte Knights to send troops to attack him because of their excessive territory. Now they are already viscounts, and it is strange that their eyes do not turn red.
It just made Cons a little strange that the new Viscount Hal was also full of hostility towards him.
Cons didn't understand this because no matter what, he was also a vassal of Viscount Hal, and he was very close to him and would become hostile to him. It was probably because of his current self-conscious identity.
Thinking of this, Cons didn't think too much, but what happened next made Cons understand that this was not the case.
After accepting the congratulations of the vassals, the new Viscount Hal immediately began to drive in front of the representatives of Count Bick and other guests, and the target was Cons.
I saw a young man with a proud look on his face, "Lord Cons, your territory is not matched with your title, in order to avoid making the world think that I, Viscount Hal, does not understand the profession and violates the rules of aristocraticism. So I am going to re-enthrone for you."
As soon as Viscount Xin Hal said this, everyone present, including Ultrahan and other secret participants, all of them changed their expressions!
This new Viscount Hal is a bit too much! First of all, Cons is already a Viscount, and he is called the lowest title of Lord, which is clearly not giving others face. Then he re-divided the territory. No one thinks it is an additional title for Cons, but if you want to reduce the title, do you really think he is a little lord with only a few hundred soldiers?
His subordinates have nearly a thousand capable of destroying the soldiers of the Snow Wolf Gang. If he angers him, he will just rebel and see what you do!
If this new Viscount Hal wants to have a new official and take office for three fires, then you don’t have to burn yourself to death?
"When Lord Har, when Lord Fengjun was enthroned, he was enthroned as Lord Qingxiang Gate's Independence." Cons said calmly.
As soon as these words were said, everyone, including the new Viscount Hal's face changed drastically. Everyone knew that having a title of "independent" when enthroning means that the vassal was thrown out of his own system. It seemed like a punishment, but it was a reward for the vassal in this year.
Because there is only one generation of vassals, that is to say, when the lord of the canonization is dead, the vassal will no longer be the vassal of the heirs.
The new Viscount Hal immediately ordered his subordinates to take over the enthronement documents. After a while of silence, the servant finally found the documents and handed them over to the Viscount Hal.
Viscount quickly opened and watched. When the conspicuous word "independence" on the document appeared in front of him, the new Viscount immediately threw the document aside in anger.
The people present immediately understood and couldn't help laughing. They looked at it, wanting to show their master's power, but they didn't expect that the former servant had already become the master. It was so embarrassing to be home. The next thing was simple. Trust Viscount Hal had no face to make things difficult for Cons, and Cons was not interested in staying. After some false love, Cons took his leave.
After leaving the Viscount Castle, Jia Yi hurriedly said, "Lord, this Viscount Hal can solve it as soon as possible, because he blocked our fragrant lord."
Cons nodded.
Qingxiang Ling is surrounded by mountains on both sides, one faces water, and only the other is a land passage. This passage is completely blocked by Harling. When he was a vassal, the passage was unobstructed. Now everyone knows that Viscount Xinhar is hostile to him. Not to mention that passage is prohibited, as long as the income is increased several times, it is enough to make Qingxiang Ling's land trade routes extinct. It can be said that apart from using force, you can't find any way to obtain passage through negotiation!
But what is embarrassing is that as soon as the lord died, the vassals below immediately sent troops to attack the trusted lord. No matter what the reason is, the crime of ungratefulness cannot be removed.
Don’t think that if you are strong, you can do whatever you want. As the leader, you can be ungrateful for the sake of the overall situation. Of course, you can betray your subordinates for the sake of the overall situation.
The people below are not idiots, so how can they follow their leaders like themselves? Therefore, as the superior, their reputation must not be defiled.
Seeing Cons frowning, Ka Yi knew what his master was worried about.
Jia said, "Master, why not let Jialing assassinate Viscount Xinhar. Jialing's methods must be a god who doesn't know what to do. He may not say that Viscount Xinhar has been divided by those vassals because they have no heirs. In this way, don't we have a chance?"
Cons shook his head and said, "He did not send troops to attack us. We always feel sorry for us for taking the initiative to murder him. Moreover, others don't know that the people in Qingxiang Gate know the existence of Jia Zero. If Viscount Xinhal died strangely, we who made the most profits will definitely be suspected. This is a bad thing for our reputation."
A nodded. Now the Lord is definitely a powerful force on Viscount Har of Viscount Har. Once Viscount Har of Viscount Har of is stabbed, it will be considered that it was done by the Lord if it is not done by the Lord.
Because everyone thinks that this is because the Lord is unwilling to vote for someone, he killed Viscount Xinhar. After thinking about it, he couldn't help but say, "Lord, my subordinates observe the vassals who came to attend the ceremony. Their expressions were a little erratic. It is estimated that Viscount Xinhar is not worthy of prestige, which makes them begin to become strange. It is better to secretly encourage them to make them independent, so that they can still solve the problem of the checkpoint trade route without touching Viscount Xinhar."
After thinking about it, Cons nodded in agreement: "This is feasible, let me leave it to A II for treatment."
"Yes, I guess A second has been waiting for such an opportunity to show off his skills for a long time." Jia Yi said with a smile.
"I'm afraid that others will not have enough staff." Cons sighed a little. He used to have a large number of secret guards, so it was very convenient to do whatever he wanted.
"This is impossible, but the junior secret guards have been trained to produce three or four of them, so it should be enough in this place." A Yi said this, but in fact he sighed in his heart. In the past, he led a group of high-level secret guards, but he was not like a junior secret guard now.
Haha, this is a starting point. You have to know that you started without roots and bottom lines. Unlike now, you have three special secret guards. "Cons smiled and Jiayi nodded respectfully.
When the group returned to Qingxiang Corridor, all the forces in Qingxiang Town, regardless of their size or distance, came to visit Cons.
As soon as we met, we met the great etiquette of the nobles and said respectfully: "See Lord Viscount."
It turned out that the leader of the power in the untouchable area immediately rushed to greet the guests after the salute.
It’s not their huge transformation. Now Cons is not the little Lord of the past, but the Viscount with a territory of nearly 100,000 square kilometers!
Moreover, the strength of this Viscount has long surpassed that of Viscount Hal. In this Earl leader, he is the great nobleman second only to Earl Bick!
In the past, I could play tricks on my airs and make some conspiracies, but now I can only obey my orders because I can destroy people like me by doing whatever I want, so can I treat them disrespectfully?
Seeing that the attendant was also acting like this, Cons couldn't help but smile, arrogant at first and respectful at the same time. It seemed that human nature was like this. Of course, Cons was also very polite to make things polite with these leaders.
After a lively event, A-Yi, the first representative of Cons's troops, advised Cons: "The Lord, my subordinates beg him to build the Lord's castle."
As soon as these words came out, the people present were silent first, and then there was a burst of noise, and everyone applauded.
Yes, how could Lord Viscount, who already has a territory of more than 100,000 square kilometers without a castle representing the Cons family?
Moreover, such a castle is not only a symbol of status, but also a foundation holy place for Cons, a group of people and others. Without this thing, you dare not say hello to others.
Think about it, I and my subordinates really need such a symbol of power, and my wallets are so swelling that everyone can buy materials.
So Cons nodded and said, "It is OK to build the castle at that time, but where to build it and how much manpower and material resources are needed, we need to consider it."
Built in Qingxiang Town? The entire town is not big enough for Viscount Lord Castle. Built in other places? Where is the right place?
Local forces absolutely do not want this Viscount Castle to be built in Qingxiang Town, because this is equivalent to letting all the people in Qingxiang Town move.
Just as everyone was silent, the old man, the chief servant, suddenly jumped up and shouted: "Lord, I think there is a place below, which is the most suitable place for Lord to build a castle."
Everyone looked at the old attendant, but the old man waited for Cons to ask in person before he could touch his beard and smiled: "Lord, the place 30 kilometers north of Qingxiang Town is the best place for you to build a castle."
30 kilometers north?
Jia Yi couldn't help but frown and said, "Sir, 20 kilometers north of Qingxiang Town will be full of forests. What do you mean is that the castle on my master will be built in the forest?"
Speaking of this, A had already emitted a dangerous light in his eyes.
The attendant knew that if he kept it a secret, he would be the one who was unlucky, so he waved his hand and said, "Sir Jiayi, it may not be suitable for others in that place, but it is definitely suitable for Lord Lord, because it is the original site of Wuyou Palace!"
When Cons heard this, his eyes shone brightly.
Chapter completed!
