Seeing that the atmosphere on the table was just right, Arthur again motioned to everyone to raise a glass: "thank you for coming to the river. Although the crisis has not been solved at the moment, as a friend, I am very moved at the moment of helplessness. The tustra family will remember this kindness."


    They drank a mouthful of beer and put down their wine cups. Before the confused pace asked, Arthur looked at him and asked with a smile, "when are you going to leave? Although I really want to keep you as guests, you still bear the heavy responsibility of the family. In addition, the Duke seems very angry with you for bringing Miss Eugenie."


    Hearing the speech, Gustav and others laughed happily again.


    "The Duke paid a ransom of 10000 gold coins!" Arthur added jokingly. "Why don''t you be my prisoner and let''s share the gold coins equally?"


    "Good idea!" Eugenie said immediately as soon as her eyes lit up. "My share will be used to compensate for the cost of this time in the town. I don''t want to owe you. Pace and you are friends. I am me, and I don''t want to touch his light!"


    With that, she glared at her brother again.


    Pace had a chance to speak.


    "Sir," he looked at Arthur suspiciously, "we really didn''t help much, and we made you bother to entertain. By the way, what do you mean by saying that the crisis hasn''t been solved? Is it the Warcraft in the territory?"


    Arthur looked sad as he swallowed the food from his mouth.


    "Warcraft can handle it well. This year, I ordered people to strengthen the walls of the sharp blade fortress, and the population in the territory moved around the town. There''s no need to worry too much. Just, there was an accident in this war... Alas!" said Arthur, shaking his head and sighing, looking rather headache.


    "What accident?" pace asked immediately. Both brothers stared at him with a puzzled face.


    Arthur shook his head again and said in a rather upset way, "the woman of telosi died and died in the castle. I don''t know why. She probably contracted some disease and suddenly died. It''s really a headache..."


    "This..." pace looked surprised. "Telosi is the sister of marquis Ted Barrett!"


    The bachelor Boye on the other side said, "that''s right. It''s all disturbing. They say it''s for revenge, but they don''t listen to anyone''s explanation at all. We all know that both the Green family and the campes family come for the wealth brought by the river. Now that Mrs. telosi is dead, the Barrett family has an excuse. Really..."


    With that, Mr. Boye also shook his head and shut up with worried face.


    "They are a group of robbers!" Gustav shouted, "At the beginning, they were treacherous and hindered the development of Shanghe collar. Now they are shameless to recruit troops and invade, and they also want to kill my friend by despicable means! If I say, the woman of telosi is worthy of death! If Ted Barrett wants revenge, come on! Although I Gustav am clumsy, I still have the courage to block a sword for my friend!"


    With that, Gustav looked at Arthur firmly, and his round face turned red.


    Arthur nodded at him with satisfaction, looked at his brother and sister, and said with emotion: "it''s hard enough to get on the river. I just want to develop the territory well, so that everyone can eat and wear warm, and don''t be afraid of Warcraft. But I can''t live next to robbers..."


    "Don''t worry, sir." pace said immediately, "has the Barrett family learned about this? After all, telosi died in the invasion, and it''s not moral for the Barrett family to send troops. Moreover, in the current situation of the Kingdom, my father should not allow chaos in the north. When I return, I will try my best to ask my father to stop the Barrett family from provoking war."


    Pace''s tone was sincere and his words were sincere.


    Arthur first expressed his gratitude and then replied: "I''ve asked master Boye to tell the Marquis of Barrett what happened. In addition, I also asked master Yilu to work and learn the city to tell the nobles in the north about the attitude of Lingfeng castle, including Lord kewilt, of course. The river leader doesn''t want to be an enemy or accept any bullying. This is the attitude of every river leader!"


    Seeing that the atmosphere became a little serious, Eugenie said in a relaxed tone: "Oh, that''s so serious. You still have the prisoners of the Barrett family in your hand. They should apologize and pay the ransom! Moreover, the countess telosi is dead. Even if the Marquis of Barrett really has any bad ideas, you have to settle the campes family first. Don''t worry."


    Eugenie raised her wine cup and smiled to let everyone drink together. She was as happy as a naughty girl who had lost her parents'' constraints.


    "I don''t want to go back now." when she put down her wine cup, she looked up and decided, "don''t you want to send serfs to Fengxi city and join them at that time. In addition, I haven''t gone to sharp blade fortress. You always said it was very dangerous before. Now the winter is over, don''t stop me! It''s best to see Warcraft."


    Looking at Eugenie''s proud face, Arthur couldn''t help having a headache - this little girl is a little naughty!


    Today''s sharp blade fortress hides his biggest secret.


    ……


    The luncheon ended in a cheerful and slightly heavy atmosphere.


    After consulting with Arthur, Gustav hurried back to town. Arthur specially reminded him that the work of public opinion should be done in the front, unite people and gather strength for possible war.


    As for the pace brothers and sisters, under Eugene''s strong curiosity, they stayed in the castle and planned to return with the people sent by Lingfeng castle to Fengxi city.


    At night, in the bedroom arranged by Arthur for Eugenie, pace taught his sister seriously.


    "You were so rude at dinner! You shouldn''t make such a request. The training of the army is extremely confidential."


    "But he promised to let us visit." Eugenie lay in bed without image, with her dagger and dagger hanging around her waist, and her boots were not taken off.


    "But you make others feel embarrassed!" pace spread his hands and took a step to the bedside. "We didn''t help this time. We shouldn''t continue to disturb and make trouble. Lord count, it''s time to have a headache..."


    "Who said it wasn''t helpful!" Eugenie got up and interrupted pace, looked at him and said discontentedly, "if we can come, it''s the greatest help to him, and you promised to mention him to lobby his father. Besides, we don''t have to be accompanied by him, but we just send two guards to lead the way."


    Looking up at Eugenie, pace shook and sat beside him with a sigh.


    "You said, if the Barrett family was about to raise troops to the river, would father stop it?"


    Eugenie turned her eyes, lay down again, put her feet on pace''s legs and said indifferently, "who knows. He also has the responsibility to make reforms and make herself helpless. In short, no nobles will support him. It''s good to be neutral, and his father should be no exception."


    "That''s troublesome..." pace looked worried as he stared at the candle on the opposite table. After being stunned for a moment, he turned and looked at Eugenie lying on the bed.


    "Isn''t the reform good? As we have seen with our own eyes, the civilians in Shanghe town live much better than before, and everyone''s eyes are full of expectations for a better life in the future."


    Eugenie thought carefully and said, "of course, his reform is good for Shanghe collar, but it is a big trouble for other lords - he offended all the nobles. That''s why my father told you not to be close to him."


    "We can also learn!" pace said. "Just like the use of manure, this method is worth popularizing in the whole kingdom! Isn''t it?"


    Eugenie bared her teeth and raised one foot to pace''s eye.


    "You''re such a fool," she said, "Manure can be popularized, but others can''t, such as raising an army, abolishing the farm, recovering the land of the vassals, etc. it can''t be denied that he is a smart guy, but the most important reason why his reform can succeed is because of the special situation on the river: the population is small and the vassals are weak. Understand? Stupid pace. Help me take off my shoes!"


    "Isn''t this a dead knot?"


    "So, it''s none of our business. Unless he is willing to abolish these reforms and find a backer. But in the current situation of the above River leader, it''s also very difficult. Angry civilians will kill him!"


    Seeing where paislen was, Eugenie shook her raised feet discontentedly and shouted, "take off your shoes, take off your shoes for me, stupid paislen!"


    ……


    The original education turned into discussion, and the "poor" pace even began to work as a servant.


    He was worried about Arthur, a friend, and the future of Shanghe collar. He was delighted by the changes here. The hope on the faces of civilians made him feel happy. He really didn''t want all this to be destroyed.


    But what can we do... Lingfeng castle is in such a difficult situation.


    Just when Eugenie was clamoring to sleep and didn''t want to talk anymore, outside the castle, under the cover of night, a figure riding a horse slowly approached Lingfeng castle.


    ……
