Lingfeng castle.


    Arthur, who had just got off the horse, immediately ordered Thorne: "take someone to put them in the dungeon, and let master ilu send someone to show Kiel green his leg injury, so that he won''t die. By the way, let someone count the booty, number of people, horses and so on."


    "Yes, you can rest assured." Thorne nodded and turned to carry out the order.


    "Lord count!"


    Behind him came the voice of bachelor Boye. Arthur turned his head and saw that the old bachelor with white beard had stepped down the steps and walked towards himself with vigorous steps. Leah in a long blue dress was also followed.


    "My Lord," Leah cried first, with joy in her beautiful eyes. Arthur''s safety is what she cares about most.


    Mr. Boye bowed slightly, looked up and said, "it''s very kind of you to come back safely, my Lord."


    "You''re just in time," Arthur immediately ordered. "The greens and Davidsons have surrendered. You should immediately spread the news to Xuecheng and those families to see their reaction. Now is not a time to relax."


    "Yes, sir, I''ll go now." the bachelor nodded and hurried to the bachelor building with a serious look.


    How to negotiate with those companies has already been discussed in advance. At the moment, he just needs to prepare the wording and release the letter bird. Joy only belongs to ignorant civilians. As Arthur said, this is not a time to relax. The crisis of Lingfeng castle is not over.


    "Come on, Leah," Arthur asked as he walked to his study. "Is the horse testing the poison okay?"


    Leah replied, "very good, including the prisoner who joined later. Housekeeper Benjie also sent someone to check carefully and secretly. All the servants in the castle are normal."


    Stepping up the spiral staircase of the tower, Arthur first came to his bedroom.


    As he raised his hand and asked Leah to take off her armor, he judged: "so, telosi is really poisoned outside the castle. Well, that''s good news. If there''s a killer in the castle, it''s hard to sleep and eat."


    "Yes, that''s what housekeeper Benjy said. If the servants in the castle did such a thing, it would be frightening to think about it." she hung her armor on a wooden frame to one side, and Leah took a brown soft leather coat.


    The sword of the oath was set aside, and Arthur continued to open his arms for Leah to serve.


    "What about the food? Are you ready?" he asked.


    "Don''t worry," said Leia, with a smile on her face. "According to your command, housekeeper Benjie asked someone to prepare it this morning. The main dishes are roast pig and roast mutton."


    According to tradition, Lingfeng castle will reward its vassals and knights after winter.


    However, now the crisis of Shanghe collar has not been lifted, so it is not suitable for holding a banquet. Therefore, Arthur only asked the old housekeeper to arrange a rich lunch and use delicious food to relax everyone and boost morale. After all, there is likely to be a big war.


    Hearing the speech, Arthur nodded, took the belt from Leia, tied it and said, "I''ll send someone to inform Gustav. When he arrives, I''m eating. You can directly send the food to the study and prepare a pot of wine. I''ll eat in the study and discuss with him."


    "Yes, sir," she said, handing over the oath sword.


    Today, Leah is already a qualified confidential secretary.


    ……


    Lunch didn''t go as Arthur wanted. He ate and talked with Gustav in the study.


    Because of the arrival of pace and others, he had to order a banquet in the restaurant to entertain his brother and sister.


    Today, pace is no longer a mercenary, and the resume of the golden robed guard has become history. The Duke of kewilt had already officially announced the fact of his return to the family to the Lords everywhere.


    If nothing happens, after the death of Duke Wolff kerwilt, pace kerwilt will become the new Duke of the north.


    Therefore, whether out of friendship or interest, Arthur should be a little more formal.


    In the restaurant.


    Seeing Arthur and Gustav coming, pace immediately got up and said happily, "Lord Arthur, congratulations on your victory! It''s said that those guys surrendered directly, which is the best result."


    "Thank you. Sit down. Let''s talk while eating."


    When pace and Gustav sat down, Arthur raised his glass and looked at his brother and sister. He first said something: "up and down Lingfeng castle, welcome pace and miss Eugenie. Especially miss Eugenie, this is your first time to go to the river. I hope the scenery and human feelings here can leave you good memories."


    In addition to Gustav, Arthur also invited Mr. ilu and Mr. Boye to attend.


    Several people drank a cup of beer, which was newly brewed by shangheling factory. Because no such plant as hops has been found, the taste of the beer in the people''s cup is still quite different from that in Arthur''s memory, but it tastes very good compared with the wines in the world.


    "This is also the wine from the river?" Eugene took a sip and thought it tasted good.


    "Do you like it? If not, I''ll let someone serve some fruit wine or ordinary drinks."


    "The fresh flavor, the face is not Baijiu, should not have those" Knight "liquor intoxicating. Not bad.


    "That''s good."


    Waiting for the two maids to divide the food, Arthur raised his hand and motioned to the people to eat and talk.


    After pace congratulated on the victory of the war, Eugenie couldn''t help asking, "listen to master ilu, you want to compile a new code?"


    "Yes," Arthur replied, "it should be some time before it is finished. It will be carried out on the river."


    Eugenie hurriedly pursued, "master ilu praised you very much, saying that the code was a great work and achievement. You also put forward the view of" ruling by law ", and you also set up a court for full-time trial. Is this true?"


    Arthur smiled and nodded without much explanation. Instead, he asked, "how do you feel in Shanghe town? It must be a lot worse than Fengxi city."


    "It''s much smaller, there are few people, and there''s no decent wall, and it''s messy everywhere, like a large construction site." Eugenie commented impolitely when she looked at Arthur.


    "But there are many new things. I went to the school and the factory in the East. There are some changes I haven''t seen, but it''s a pity that I didn''t see how the serfs cultivate. Oh, yes, it''s a farmer. There are no serfs in Shanghe collar. People love you more than any noble I know."


    Hearing Eugenie''s words behind her, pace smiled and said, "there''s delicious food in the hotel. You have to eat every day to break your stomach!"


    "Stupid pace, what are you talking about!"


    With a fork, Eugenie stared at pace in shame and anger. He didn''t explain clearly and wanted to stab him.


    For a moment, there was a burst of happy laughter in the restaurant.
