European Emperor Cultivation System

Chapter 139

In the early morning two letters reached Caen, one from Harfleur and one from Canapéville.

Earl Turuk convened a meeting of the nobility early in the morning as usual, and Turuk knew only a little about Canapville, except that the owner of the subordinate fiefdom just changed to a new successor, he didn't know anything about it.

"Probably they are all compliments for swearing allegiance." Turuk guessed that he was a pragmatist and didn't like these empty words of loyalty. Although he was criticized by the reactionary forces for taking radical risks, he didn't take it to heart.

Canapville's letter was first placed on the corner of the table. Turuk was very confident about Hafleur's letter. He knew the contents of the letter without opening the envelope. He should kneel down in fright and beg for mercy.

Taking this opportunity, Turuk also just re-established his prestige in Caen. Since he ruled for more than ten years, he has done a lot of evil, and the rebel forces outside are also ready to move. It is time to attack the arrogance of the enemy.

"Hahaha." When the meeting started, Turuk started to laugh out loud.

"The earl is in a good mood today, there must be some great joy." Sir Nathan echoed first, this dude has no real talents, but has been acting as the earl's echo bug to dawdle.

"It's only been less than two days. It's convenient for Hafleur to give up so quickly. It seems that I, Turuk, have a great reputation." He praised himself, and threw the letter on the table contemptuously. superior.

"That's natural. Harfleur is a bigger place. How dare you compete with Caen? Isn't this a dead end?" Nathan was also flattering.

"Haven't you opened the letter yet? Don't draw conclusions too early."

The Viscount Conske, who was seated on the side, remained calm. He was originally a loyal supporter of Turuk. Later, because of different policies, the two gradually separated and were forced by Turuk's power. Conske dared not speak out. .

But in Turuk's eyes, this guy just spoiled his interest and deliberately embarrassed himself, but Kangsike's strength should not be underestimated. Out of the need to maintain stability, the relationship between the two parties has maintained a delicate balance. Tear your face and have a big fight.

"Then you come here, open this letter, and read it aloud to everyone here." Turuk's attitude is arrogant, most of the nobles in the audience are not as good as Kang Sike, and asking him to read the letter in public is tantamount to making a fool of himself everyone.

"Hmph." Conske suppressed his anger, and violently tore open the letter paper with one hand. The parchment was also torn with missing edges and corners. Fortunately, it did not affect reading. After browsing through it, the anger between his brows gradually subsided, replaced by A bewildered smile emerged from the corner of his mouth.

"Do you really want to read it out in public? The content of this letter is somewhat different from what you had imagined before, Mr. Earl." There are still necessary steps, but Conske is well aware of this, and this guy will definitely scold him , Saying is tantamount to saying nothing.

As Konsk expected, Turuk was dissatisfied with this, "Read it, I want to see how sincere this poor bastard is and whether he will let his men escort him to Caen to be punished. .”

"Your Excellency Turuk, I am busy with government affairs and cannot go to Caen in person. If there is a chance, I hope that Your Excellency can come to Hafleur in person to give advice. Let's talk about old grievances together."

All the nobles in the audience covered their mouths and snickered. The atmosphere on the scene was extremely embarrassing. Seeing this, Nathan hurriedly asked, "Konsk, don't mess with the contents of the letter."

Const chuckled and threw the parchment back, "Read it yourself, I just read it."

Turuk's face was gloomy, and the veins on his forehead sprouted. He slapped the table angrily and said: "This city lord really thinks that he is lawless and no one can cure him, right? Well, pass on my order and prepare the entire army for war." , and leave for Harfleur in three days."

Conske kindly reminded from the side: "Based on Caen's financial situation, if all the troops are mobilized, I'm afraid there will be another tax increase."

At this time, Turuk was furious, completely disregarding other things, and only wanted to flatten Hafleur, "The whole army is mobilized, and taxes will be raised. I want him to know what fear is."

The nobles at the meeting whispered. In fact, this is the fourth tax increase this year. The financial burden has reached its limit. It is a common situation to make ends meet. It is really not wise to mobilize so many teachers.

"I think it's better..." Konsk was just about to suggest mobilizing only the cavalry, but was forced back by Turuk, "I said the whole army should be mobilized, and the whole army should be mobilized within three days. I must do it. Destroy Harfleur."

Seeing this, it was hard to say anything more, and Kang Sike simply closed his mouth.

"Your Earl is wise, we will definitely return home in triumph." This Nathan, who was always rough from time to time, was still holding his stinky feet tirelessly, which really made Consk sick.

"Everyone, go get ready and end the meeting." Turuk had no interest at this time, and vented his anger on his subordinates. The nobles at the meeting were afraid of being affected, and even left in despair.

Nathan was used to this. When he saw the forgotten letter on the corner of the table, he had an idea and said: "Sir, calm down your anger. When you are angry, listen to more beautiful words and you will feel better. I will read Canapville to you." Letter from me.”

Before Turuk could react, this guy took the initiative to open the envelope, burst out the feelings that had been brewing for a long time, and couldn't wait to start his own singing performance.

"Oh, great lord earl, I, the new lord of Carnapville, hereby swear allegiance to you, and hope that your glory and reputation can be sprinkled on every inch of land in the fief, oh, great lord earl, only Almighty God can be compared with you."

Although it is different from the previous affidavits, it does not hinder Nathan's outstanding performance. With his strong expression, every word and every sentence is full of endless admiration for the Earl.

"The evil enemy invaded this beautiful and peaceful land two days ago, took away the local women, and took away the common people's faith in the Earl, oh, the great Earl, in order to help Canapville to welcome back the light, Please save us, we will supply your army, and they will be satisfied with everything."

After reading it, the style of this forged letter has changed, and it has changed from the original oath of allegiance to a letter of distress. Turuk, who was overjoyed when he heard it, was already in a state of ecstasy, and he didn't know why.

"So, my lord earl, do you want to help me?" Nathan asked tentatively because it was difficult to detect the earl's intentions.

In order to facilitate the success of the plan, Li Peijun specially forged a topographic map and attached it to the back of the letterhead. On the map, Carnapville was depicted as a place with flat terrain and abundant supplies nearby.

Turuk happened to be worried about money, and his subordinates voluntarily provided supplies, which could relieve his financial pressure to a certain extent. Li Peijun's move happened to be exactly what he wanted.

"Notify the nobles that they will first gather at Canapville in batches, and then advance to Harfleur." Turuk also knew that the strength of this fiefdom could not supply so many troops at once, so he planned to go in batches first, and then Unified expedition.

"Young boy, I want you to know the consequences of offending me."
