Chapter 149

    Grice''s words were like a basin of cold water, which instantly cooled the blood of several people.


    In order to guard against the sudden dispatch of troops from Lingfeng castle, they sent people to Shanghe town to inquire about the news. Naturally, they knew the situation of the two families in the south. The previous clamor was just a kind of self comfort under fear.


    "What should we do? Should we just wait to die! Waiting for Arthur tustra to lead the troops to fight!" cried wind dust Arthur.


    The feudal minister Leighton gave an idea and said, "we should gather all the people in the leader''s land together, so that Arthur tustra can''t easily defeat us even if he leads troops! Unless he wants to lose both sides, if Warcraft rushes into Shanghe Town, his reform will go bankrupt!"


    Without waiting for the crowd to make a noise, Grice poured cold water again: "get together? Do you think the serfs under you are too safe and few, and can''t cause any big trouble! Also, how long can we hold on to gathering so many people together? A month or two, or wait until everyone starves to death on the farm in winter?"


    "Then take the initiative to attack!" said Aesop, the vassal, after a slight silence, "As I said just now, we can only win if we take the initiative to attack! The time is in winter. At that time, the people and horses of Lingfeng castle will go to the fortress, and we may not have the possibility to win Lingfeng castle! Or we can also choose to attack secretly when they withdraw from the fortress! After fighting with Warcraft, they must have suffered heavy losses, and we can defeat him!"


    Isol stared at the people at the table, and the look on his face was a desperate madness.


    "How! Talk!" isol cried, gritting his teeth, looking at the suddenly silent people.


    "Isol, are you crazy!" Grice said in a deep voice. "Attack the soldiers who retreat from the fortress, and our family will always bear the reputation of disgrace!"


    "Who cares!" cried isol, who was really driven crazy by the suffocating calm. "What about the Green family and the Davidson family? Do they have any good reputation and don''t live safely now! He forced us, so what''s the shame? It''s better for all the family to become slaves! Do you want to see your son or daughter become slaves?!"


    Looking at the crazy isol, several people kept silent by default.


    "This... May be the only way," whispered the feudal minister Leighton.


    "Bang!" Andrew slammed his fist on the table. "Damn guy, why did he make everything like this!" he didn''t deny isol''s proposal.


    "Grice, what about you? You proposed to let us come. Now that there is a way, you won''t shrink back." isol looked at Grice who didn''t make a statement.


    After another silence, looking at the people staring at him, Grice took a heavy breath and said, "I went to see bank Trish a few days ago. Maybe I can listen to his advice before reaching an agreement outside."


    Although they used to be partners fighting side by side, now Burley and bank are the last names they want to mention.


    When they chose to sit back and wait for the defeat of Lingfeng castle, bank and Burley did not hesitate to support Lingfeng castle.


    Facts proved that their choice was correct, and Arthur won the war. But that''s why they were even more reluctant to mention their names.


    "They may be fine now, but sooner or later they will regret it!" said isol, with a look on his face. "When their serfs learn about the reform of Shanghe Town, they will understand how stupid their loyal choice was!"


    "That''s right." Leighton also said, "look at Arthur tustra''s reform. He no longer needs the vassal to fight for him, nor does he need the vassal to guard the vast territory for him. When he needs more people to complete his reform, he will make their ideas!"


    ……


    Several people spoke in a variety of pessimistic views on the outcome of Burley and bank, as if they could find a reasonable excuse for their betrayal.


    "You probably don''t know the situation of their two families." Grice looked at the talking people. "The serfs in their farm have known about the reform of Shanghe Town, and they are very comprehensive. Even some people have been moved to Shanghe town."


    "Ha! How!" hearing Grice''s words, isol immediately raised his volume with such an expression on his face.


    "I knew he wouldn''t let them go. Arthur tustra is not the child he used to be! Now he is surrounded by bachelors. He thinks he is reforming the territory. In fact, he has become a puppet of those bachelors. Those guys who can only play with their mouths have taken the power belonging to the nobility from him!"


    Many bachelors in Shanghe town were appointed as officials, which was also truthfully reported to them by the men they sent to inquire about the news. Therefore, in the hearts of several people, Arthur was probably bewitched by the bachelors.


    Andrew said angrily, "he trusted those bachelors, but forgot who stood with him in the sharp edge fortress last winter and stood side by side against the invasion of Warcraft. It''s us!"


    Andrew''s words reminded several people of their time at the sharp edge fortress six months ago.


    At that time, Arthur was not stingy with his property. He was considerate of the soldiers and had a flexible mind. He was kind and polite to their vassals, and gave them Elise''s wine.


    When they withdrew, they all thought that Arthur would become an excellent Lord in the future, surpassing his father


    "We were all wrong. His impulsive character and smart mind put all of us in a dangerous situation," said Arthur, the vassal.


    Leighton sighed, with a trace of bitterness in his low voice: "Oh! I didn''t expect Arthur tustra to be so worried... The two guys of bank must regret it now. Without enough serfs, even if there are still territories, the family will inevitably decline."


    Looking at the suddenly depressed people, Grice added: "not only the serfs, but also the territory of their two families has been taken back by Lingfeng castle."


    Grice''s words made the four people turn their heads together and stare at him in surprise.


    "Take it back!" isol, who suddenly raised his volume, was almost screaming. "You say Arthur tustra has taken back the territory of bank and bury! The territory has been taken back!?"


    The four looked as if they had heard some incredible terrible news - bank and bury, but they were loyal to his meritorious ministers!


    "Ha! That boy!" Andrew raised his head and was furious. "I thought he would become an excellent Lord, damn thing! I was so soft hearted just now, that guy..."


    "Don''t be surprised!" Grice interrupted the angry people. "Taking back the territory is the result of the joint negotiation between bank and Arthur. In other words, this is a decision only with their consent, not that Lingfeng Castle forcibly deprived them of their territory."


    "Damn it! How could this be possible!" said isol angrily. "They give their family territory their hands. Their dilemma is whether they are idiots!"


    Leighton: "is this the price of loyalty! What does that boy want to do, and treat meritorious officials like this! Or are those two guys really crazy, regardless of the survival of the family for loyalty!"


    "They may have had to, under Arthur''s threat, to agree to such a decision! After all, in the face of the strength of Lingfeng castle, they are simply unable to resist!" Arthur also quickly said.


    "I say you guys!" said Grice hurriedly. "Where do you think I saw bank Trish, the dungeon of Lingfeng castle? And do you think bank and berry will succumb to threats!"
