Chapter 72 The Robber's Dinner
Mr. Geraced respectfully handed the beef roasted with iron plates to Prince Edward. At this moment, he was like a chef, serving the gentlemen in front of him to dinner with other women with poor combat capabilities.
It was probably a matter of habit, and these Englishmen prefer meat roasted from iron plates. And it was always a very happy thing to eat wild game in the king's forest under the magistrate's guard. Although they had a lot of gold coins and a lot of food at this moment. However, in the tradition of "Robin Hood", these gold coins became nearby, and were exploited more heavily than the nobles.
It was either a few gold coins, a bag of food, or both. Needless to ask, this was Robin Hood's technique, and only people who were very familiar with nearby people knew which one had more people and more difficult.
Of course, other people would not know so clearly, only the people in their lord, Robin Hood's family, would know it. Many people are guessing that maybe Miss Juliana is back, maybe someone is pretending to be her means. No matter what, life now seems to be back when Robin Hood is still alive.
"I haven't seen the Nottingham County Mayor, Mr. Philip Mark, for several days, his butt..."
John picked up a piece of meat with chopsticks. When he ate it, he sucked the meat with chili condiments, which made him suck in the air. Then he took a big mouthful of honey wine and then recovered.
"Don't worry, your highness, I promise that his butt is fine. I'll see it for a few days and I'll ride out to collect taxes again."
After saying that, she turned her face to face Qili. Although Qili and Julianna became a wild girl in the Sherwood Forest, when she ate, she was definitely a ladylike style, one small bite after another, and one slow bite.
"Little John, I don't understand why you have to put these red powders? To be honest, will people die if you eat too much?"
Eating chili peppers is what John couldn't stand the most. Although he did not deny that after putting the seasonings that Qilil took out, the beef tasted even more delicious, he really couldn't love the spicy food.
Surprisingly, Qili didn't refute him or say much. In fact, the taste of spicy food and seasonings is Zhao Fubo's favorite. Every time she eats this "teppanyaki", she always reminds her of Zhao Fubo.
Yes, Qili missed Zhao Fubo. It has been nearly a year and a half since she was captured back to France by her uncle Count Artowa. Although she heard about Zhao Fubo from time to time, she was always disappointed in hope. Although she knew that Zhao Fubo was on her way to rescue her, she had come to England from the French palace and to Sherwood Forest from the English palace.
The reason for staying here is probably Qili guessed that Zhao Fubo is always a person who keeps his word. He once said that one day Mr. Philip Mark, the mayor of Nottingham County, would suffer a lot. Then no matter whether he is by his side or not, he would probably come here and fulfill his promise. But expectations are always a distant thing that makes people sad.
"Julianna hasn't shot him with an arrow at this moment! When will they come here..."
That was Juliana's catchphrase. Whenever he spoke, he would always be unable to help but bring it out. Qili guessed that Juliana might have obtained Zhao Fubo's jewelry at this moment!
When John saw Qili's appearance, he knew that she was in a certain mood again. Although in the past, everyone had never seen Juliana when she helped Nottingham County Mayor Philip Mark. However, this made him turn his face to see Veronica beside him. Although she still lives by the forest, she often dresses up as mushrooms and goes into the forest to meet them. At the same time, she brings them such as salt or other things that need to be used. Tonight, she naturally comes here to enjoy the robber's supper with them.
Under the bright lights of the small car lamp, everything was visible in the tree house that filled the hall. Veronica's fiery red hair was now like Qili's appearance, combed neatly and clustered behind her head. This made her forehead look round and her eyes look much bigger than before.
She used to live with her brother, Doctor Acheson, who lived in the territory of Baron Robin Hood. Originally, Robin Hood didn't want their rent and didn't care about taxes or anything. Even when Robin Hood was still alive, Philip Mark, the mayor of Nottingham County, was not so rampant. Although the tax collection was slightly more than the king's regulations, he was not so mean at that time. At least if the people here poached in the forest, he would pretend that he hadn't seen it.
But when Robin Hood passed away and Henry III, King John of England, began to invest a lot of money in the war between Innocent IV in the Sicily, everything changed and became increasingly unbearable. At first, Julianna wanted to go against Philip Mark, the mayor of Nottingham County by her father. However, Robin Hood at that time had the support of the nobles and after signing the Magna Carta, everything became easier.
But after King Henry III of John tore up the Magna Carta, everything returned to its original form. As a girl who lost her father's shelter, Juliana could not defend such an industry at all. In the end, she had no choice but to take her father, Knight Roger and Dr. Acheson, to the East, hoping to get enough income in the crusade war to make up for the taxes of Philip Mark, the mayor of Nottingham.
Otherwise, the territory of Robin Hood would be taken back by King Henry III of John because of excessive tax arrears. Philip Mark, the governor of Nottingham County, was to believe that when the territory was taken back, a new baron who provided good service to King Henry III of John would have reason to apply for such a territory from His Majesty the Emperor.
As for Juliana, this beautiful silver-haired, nottinghamshire mayor Philip Mark likes him very much. Although Juliana has never looked at him directly because of his father's grudges, if he has the chance, he is willing to marry Juliana and let her re-owned property because of her marriage.
