Chapter 156 Revisiting Compiègne

The news that Capet is about to succeed the King of the Franks spread throughout the Principality of Normandy. According to the historical track, this guy who loves to wear a short-shouldered cloak will be officially elected as the King of the Franks at the noble meeting held in Compiègne on July 7. .

There is still more than a month before the convening of the noble meeting, and the news that the founder of the Capet dynasty is invincible is endless. The contenders in Anjou Blois and other places were all defeated by him, and the opposition was suppressed one by one. , Capet became King of the Franks is already a certainty.

Li Peijun is not interested in these things. Anyway, everyone will be pulled down by him in the end, and he is the only one in the end.

What he cared about was the knight who had saved his life. Since Compiègne left, Li Peijun had never heard any news about Liard.

"Just thank you in person, at least it makes me feel at ease." Li Peijun muttered to himself.

Now the city of Hafleur is in order, and there are rules to follow for major and minor matters, so there is no need to do everything by yourself like before. Moreover, since the addition of Socia, the political secretary, my main job every day has become researching recipes.

Li Peijun sometimes even feels that he is a private cook first and a lord second.

Caen's side was in chaos as expected. Consk was directly forced to raise the flag to rebel. Turuk also gathered his troops to prepare for a fight to the death.

The British side was even more out of reach. Li Peijun did not dare to put all the newly recruited countrymen into the cruel war. When the training of the standing army began to bear fruit, it would have to wait until the ice and snow melted next year at the earliest before sending troops to conquer.

"Why don't you go to Compiègne to see it yourself?" Li Peijun suddenly had a bold idea. It is hundreds of kilometers away from Hafleur to Compiègne, passing through more than a dozen fiefdoms, and the journey is full of unknowns.

However, relying on the bonus of the rapid march, I can reach it in less than two hours, and if I just bless myself with buffs, my physical strength will not be damaged too much.

Just in case, Li Peijun added all the remaining [-] skill points to knight skills. Now his iron cavalry, unparalleled and charge are all at full level, so it would be easy to deal with a nobleman who ran into a house by chance.

It should take about two days to go back and forth. Li Peijun has not traveled far for a long time. As usual, he sent two letters, one to the chamber of commerce entrusting the matter for the two days, and the other to Bernard and the others far away on the manor. Handle emergencies.

Unexpectedly, this guy Tidel actually wanted to go with him. Li Peijun didn't know what there was in Compiègne that could attract this reckless man's attention. Maybe the ancient Roman arena would interest him.

"Bruno, are you going to Compiègne this time to say thank you to the person who saved you before?" Tidel's movements were swift. Less than three hours after the letter was sent, people were already rushing over.

"Well, yes, it's you. I don't remember what kind of relationship you have with Compiègne." Li Peijun was secretly surprised. He didn't mention the purpose of this trip in his letter, but this guy guessed it .

Tiedle hammered his chest, raised his head and said, "In order to regain the lost glory."

Li Peijun was too lazy to delve into it further, and after a little tidying up, the two set off with whips.

With the gradual improvement of the strategy attribute, the side effects caused by the rapid march are getting smaller and smaller, and the control of skills is becoming more and more relaxed.The two galloped their horses all the way. Fortunately, there were no nobles looking for trouble on the way, and the two arrived in Compiègne quickly and smoothly.

Standing outside the city wall, everything in Compiègne remains the same, and it still feels familiar, but the owner inside has changed a long time ago, and the sphere of influence outside has also been re-divided.

In peacetime, there were only normal guards at the entrance of the city. With their honorable aristocratic status, the two of them did not encounter too many difficulties. After asking a few symbolic questions, they readily let them go.

"It's still the same here. It's not like Harfleur's huge changes. I believe that a new city will rise in the western region soon, and there will be a strong stroke on the topographic map drawn by the Principality soon!"

The two strolled leisurely on the streets of Compiègne. Looking at the chaotic and disorderly streets, Tiddell couldn't help feeling emotional when he recalled the decadent scene when he first arrived in Hafleur.

"An important city in the principality is not enough. My goal is to build a super city in the western border that is comparable to the size of Constantinople." Li Peijun began to plan a grand blueprint for the future.

"I heard that Constantinople has a population of 50. Ten Rouen combined are not as large as it. Now the population of Harfleur city is not even [-]. Stop bragging." Tidel is not easy to fool. , directly and ruthlessly burst Li Peijun's beautiful bubble.

Li Peijun shrugged, "The population here is too small. The current prosperity belongs to the Mediterranean coast. The expansion plan can only be done step by step."

"I remember that there were patrols here before, so how could there be no one in peacetime?" Li Peijun looked around, but only the shadows of pedestrians could be seen in the streets and alleys.

"You will say that it is a peaceful time, so naturally you are engaged in production. Besides, the voluntary service time of knights is only less than forty days a year. The number of conscripts is not a small burden. Since learning from you After mastering the brewing technology, I can't even look down on wine from other places, and I have a bad mouth."

Li Peijun laughed loudly and said: "It's just that we have advanced technology now. The climate in Hafleur cannot grow high-quality grapes. Only when you get to Bordeaux and Provence can you make truly top-quality wines."

"Although I don't know where these two places are, I believe you will definitely lead us to fight there. Haha, how do you say that, violence can solve everything."

The two looked at each other and smiled, and suddenly Tiddell seemed to have found the person he was looking for, and gestured for Li Peijun to look over.A small group of people came out from the door of the church not far away. The one at the head was well-dressed and had a few precious stones embedded in the sword sheath. He seemed to be a nobleman.

The familiar figure brought back Li Peijun's memories. Looking through his previous memories, Li Peijun remembered this person.

"The person you were looking for turned out to be York. Could it be that you want to duel with him again?" Li Peijun looked at Tiddell, and Li Peijun already knew the answer just by looking at the other party's expression.

Remembering that Leyard used to be York's follower, but now he can't find him, maybe he can learn something from York's mouth, Li Peijun thought about it, and the goals of the two gradually converged.

"Tiddle, don't worry about it later, you're dueling after I finish asking the questions you need to ask." Afraid that the clue would be broken, Li Peijun first made it clear.

The two tacitly agreed, and chased after them on horseback.
