"Pa!"
A loud slap hit Gerson's face.
With just a slap, Gerson's face was completely red and swollen, and even a trace of blood spilled from the corners of his mouth.
With Gerson's strength, he would not have been slapped like this, but it was his father who slapped him. Under such circumstances, how dare he use his fighting spirit to protect his face? You should know that the nugus family has a very strict family education. If he doesn't bear the slap of his father, he believes that the next situation will be worse, because when the old housekeeper told him to come to the study immediately, he has realized the seriousness of the problem.
"Do you know why I hit you?" Gerson's father, Duke nugus, looked gloomy and obviously really angry.
Gerson bowed his head and quickly thought about the reason why his father was angry this time.
But after a few minutes, Gerson still didn't think of the reason, because he didn't know how much his father knew about his intelligence. If you must say something wrong, there are indeed several problems, but he knows that once he says some problems, the end will be very miserable, so he simply can't figure out which mistakes can be said and which can't be said.
At this moment, Gerson felt that if the eagle were here, she would be able to draw a conclusion quickly with her intelligence analysis ability.
Seeing that Gerson had been silent, Duke nugus finally sighed.
But after this sigh, Gerson could feel his father's extreme disappointment with him, which made his face a little pale.
The nugus family is not a dictatorship. Anyone with ability can compete for the position of successor, which is why Gerson's uncle is also one of the candidates for successor. In the nugus family, Gerson knows that he is not the most gifted child of genius. Even as far as he knows, there are several people better than him, but these people are unlucky and are not as high as himself in the family championship, so his successor is in a higher order.
The nugus family does not decide the successor based on the talent of the family's children, but on a scoreboard, once a year.
This is a comprehensive evaluation of many aspects, such as eyesight, command and luck, in addition to testing talents and talents.
Those who are more gifted than Gerson don't have Gerson's communication skills; Those who know more about communication than Gerson don't have Gerson's eyesight; Those who have better eyesight than Gerson, but have no strong force under their command; Those under his command have the power to work, but they are not as good at judging the situation as Gerson.
So over time, Gerson, who was not ranked high in the championship, was also surpassed by Gerson one by one. Especially after Gerson recruited three forbidden men, silver, eagle and wolf, he became the second successor in the championship in just two years. There were more than a dozen successor candidates on the original list, but now there are only five left - three of them are still his brothers and sisters. If it hadn't been for this wild land, Gerson would have become the first successor in order at the end of this year, because his father had clearly told him that his uncle had withdrawn from the election for the successor of the nugus family. As for his other three brothers and sisters, except that his sister Angie nugus was officially announced that she was no longer a member of the nugus family and lost her identity as the successor, His eldest brother was also determined to be removed from the evaluation at the end of this year.
So Gerson knows very well that if his uncle quits, even if he does lose in the wilderness, many points will be deducted, but he is still sure to occupy the position of the first successor. However, once he is hated or even disappointed by his father, he is likely to be removed from the evaluation at the end of the year, which is not the result Gerson wants!
Therefore, after hearing his father's sigh, Gerson finally opened his mouth: "I shouldn't have failed to follow your instructions and still ordered to assassinate Sean. As a result, the heroic sword mercenary regiment was destroyed in panda."
"Hum." Ashan nugus snorted coldly, "do you feel that you are about to be officially confirmed as the heir of the nugus family, so you can ignore my orders?"
"No." Gerson's head is lower.
"I have told you that the assassination plan must not be carried out if it is not necessary, but why don't you listen?" Yashan nugus said in a deep voice, "do you think I don't know that after the failure of the negotiations, you secretly instructed Domingo to carry out the assassination plan in advance through the eagle?"
Hearing this, Gerson knew that his father really had the evidence of his crime.
At that time, he didn't think so much at all. He just wanted to revenge anyway and kill Sean. Therefore, when the negotiation failed, he didn't want to let Domingo do it directly. However, he did not expect that the assassination plan would end in complete failure, nor did he expect that Lord Sean would use this as an excuse to declare war directly on tingqi, nor did he expect that he would be so merciless to kill Elvin and his heroic sword in the empty city without leaving a living mouth.
This is simply a cold slaughter!
But when I knew this, it was too late.
"I was wrong, father." Gerson bowed his head and admitted his mistake.
"If the heroic sword had not been slaughtered in the assassination conflict, it would naturally play a very important role in assisting the war situation led by tingqi. At least the Hastings family would not have no way to escape." Yashan's voice was still very low, but Gerson could hear his anger more than before. "Do you know what your second mistake is?"
Gerson was stunned: the second mistake?
"You took the Hastings family as a victim!" This time, before Gerson could react, Yashan roared and patted the table, "don't tell me, you won't know that tingqi's army was lured away by the enemy, creating a gap and being driven straight in by Alfred's Lion At that time, people with you nearby could provide support and make emergency evacuation. As long as you do it at that time, the Hastings family will not be destroyed. Even if the whole tingqi is occupied because of this, as long as the Hastings family are still there, the territory will be recovered sooner or later But look what you've done! "
Gerson didn't dare to refute Yashan's words at all.
Of course, he can't say that he actually took a fancy to the hidden wealth of the Hastings family, so he intended to let all the Hastings family die. Because if the people of the Hastings family don't die, they can't touch the wealth. Even if they touch it, they can't see the light. It's very difficult to sell, and it may even lose more than half of the price.
Gerson doesn't want to do this loss making business, so of course, he can only let the Hastings die. He can't refuse the temptation of that wealth!
Later, when the members of the Hastings family successfully fled back to the secret stronghold, he actually planned to kill all the Hastings at that time, so he specially sent a team of 100 people to enter secretly. As a result, he did not expect that someone was one step faster than him. He not only killed everyone, but also emptied all those treasures, which made his losses extremely heavy at once.
If he has those wealth, he can accept the loss of a Hastings family, but if he loses the Hastings family without those wealth, the loss will be great.
Of course, as Gerson expected, Yashan really didn't know that the Hastings had a hidden secret stronghold. However, even if he knew, he would definitely choose to save the Hastings family rather than peep into those treasures. This is why Ashan can make the nugus family strong, and even in his generation, he is not afraid of the boulder family at all.
It is conceivable that if the nugus family is handed over to Gerson, it is by no means a good thing.
Of course, these Yashan didn't know. If he knew that his most satisfied son had made such a choice before, he would be the first to kill Gerson. Because no one knows better than Mount Biya, what a valuable asset an ally who still sticks to the bottom even in nugus.
But now, in the aristocratic circle of the kingdom of dabion, the name of the Hastings family no longer exists.
At the thought of this, Ashan's anger became even stronger. He rushed out and punched his son.
At this moment, it seemed that Gerson was not his son in front of him. With a punch that was almost unreserved and made every effort, Gerson was seriously injured at once. He flew him out directly and vomited a few mouthfuls of blood on the spot.
"Master!" The old housekeeper was really anxious and immediately shouted.
"If you know what your third mistake is, I won't abolish your status as heir."
Hearing this, Gerson's brain finally "boom" a little confused.
Half a ring, Gerson still failed to realize what his father said was the third mistake.
"Waste, get out!" Yashan roared.
The old housekeeper sighed. He knew that Yashan was really angry, but the collapse of the Hastings family did have an extremely significant impact on the nugus family, not only because of the steadfastness of the Hastings family, but also because the overall strategic situation under nugusb would be completely rewritten, At least the second cavalry regiment of dabion will no longer be controlled by the nugus family, and the heel that finally stood firm in the dabion military headquarters began to shake.
Of course, the deeper meaning is that since the nugus family can know that at that time, if Gerson chooses to fight, he can save at least half of the members of the Hastings family and make a comeback for the Hastings family, other families with spies and a complete intelligence system must know. In this way, in the eyes of other nobles, even the Hastings family, which is so loyal to the nugus family, can be said to abandon. What will the other families and nobles attached to the nugus family think?
The result is entirely conceivable.
The old housekeeper knew that young master Gerson not only made a mistake this time, but also made a very outrageous mistake.
When the old housekeeper took Gerson away, there was silence in the study.
After a long time, Yashan finally seemed to calm down, so he said, "tell me, what's the biggest mistake this time?"
At this time, a woman finally came out of the shadow of the corner.
This is a very ordinary woman regardless of her appearance or temperament. There is no bright spot at all, but she is the second daughter of Ashan nugus, that is, Gerson's third sister. Before Gerson found the eagle, silver and wolf, this seemingly ordinary woman had always firmly occupied the first place in the nugus family championship. Even her uncle qigesen nugus had been pressed by her in the second place. Even qigesen would send his private soldiers to the third garrison, which could be said to be thanks to her.
If she had not lost almost nothing because of the failure of a war with those tribes in the wilderness, zigsen would not have become the first successor. Even if later Gerson had the help of eagle, wolf and silver, and developed a complete set of forces of her own, she still regained the third place in the championship, just seven points behind Gerson.
It was this terrible feeling of pressing step by step that made Gerson take risks to occupy panda collar and later the wilderness.
At this moment, after siegsen withdrew from the successor campaign and Gesen and the other two were officially abolished as successor candidates, the woman is the next successor of the nugus family.
This woman is Haila nugus.
However, at the moment, Haila didn't see the slightest color of joy on her face. It was still that plain and light appearance.
"What is the reason for our failure this time?" Even though Yashan knew that she had heard his words, he had to read and repeat them again, but he changed the sentence slightly, which was naturally very different from the meaning of the sentence he said before.
At least this time, Yashan nugus admitted defeat.
Haila looked at her father. After a moment, she said, "despise the enemy."
Yashan nodded without saying anything. He knew his daughter's temperament. Once he spoke, he would give a detailed analysis and reasons.
"Underestimated three people." Sure enough, before Yashan urged, Haila began to say to herself, "the first is yasna g. Evans. We all underestimated her attention to Sean Connery and immediately made him a formal Baron at the beginning of public opinion. It is obvious that Sean Connery was not a pioneering Knight recruited by Athena from the beginning. There should be some kind of transaction between them, but they hide too well. If it wasn't this time, I can't judge that at all. "
Ashan's face showed a different color. He didn't think of this layer at first, but when Haila said so, he immediately thought of what Sean had done before. Why was yasna's attitude so strange. It turned out that the two of them had an equal relationship from the beginning, not the relationship between superiors and subordinates. Otherwise, yasna could not let Vivian lead the thunder front to the gorge Rift Valley for support. Now the strong man in the holy land of their family is still recovering.
"The second is Sean Connery." Hella ignored her father's look and continued, "this man completely ignores any aristocratic rules. The ancient aristocratic rules are completely useless to him. It's funny that all of us try to judge and limit his actions with aristocratic rules. I'm sure that even if he doesn't have the status of a baron, he dares to send troops to tingqi Yinling, but his real goal is not tingqi Yinling, but Yade biling. "
Hearing this, Ashan's face suddenly changed. It was obvious that he realized how rich the territory led by yadby was.
And if Sean is after yadby collar
As if to officially Yashan's guess, Hella continued: "the Baron's next step should be to find an excuse to send troops to bobbis."
Ashan's face changed slightly. He began to hesitate whether to tell Howard the news.
"If I were you, I would join hands with Duke Howard." Hella glanced at her father and said faintly.
"Why?"
"Because we underestimate the third person." When Haila said this, her tone finally changed a little, not the same as before, "William Yale This man is a talented military strategist. From the outbreak of the war to the end, the whole process has not even lasted a month. You know, he has only 20000 troops, but he can easily defeat the 60000 army led by tingqi. Do you really think this is a miracle? "
Speaking of this, Hella's look finally became serious: "war has never been a miracle. A really excellent general can easily make up for the gap of tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of troops. So if we really want to deal with the Lord, even if our family can win, I'm afraid it will be a terrible victory, which is not in the interests of our nugus family. And most importantly, once the berbis collar is occupied, the other party only needs to garrison troops in the berbis collar and the chilav collar, and the whole southeast of the dabion kingdom will be completely shrouded in the shadow of the baron. Therefore, if there is no alliance, there will be no need to fight this war. "
This was the first time Yashan heard his daughter say so seriously, and his face looked very surprised.
"And..."
"And!?"
Hella glanced at her father and continued, "we have joined hands with Duke Howard, but we only have the most basic conditions for War confrontation. If we really want to win completely, we must kill William, otherwise we will lose even if we win. "
"Why?"
"Now that the Baron has annexed so many territories in the south of dabion, what do you think the nobles in the Principality of lane will think?" Hella asked back.
At this moment, Ashan's face finally became very firm. It was obvious that he had made a decision: "come and contact Duke Howard immediately."
