Chapter 577

The Tucker mountains.

On both sides of the dense forest, a path winding forward in the shade, there are butterflies flying in the green grass.

Wu Ming was riding on a horse with high head and big head, sitting on Beatrice in his arms, quietly watching the scene, with a sense of peace.

After walking through the forest, there were scattered ridges on the roadside. The farmer stopped farming and looked at the two nobles in amazement.

After all, just from their clothes and looks, they let the farmers know that there are big people here, and they don't look like young masters and young ladies from noble families.

"I'm going to the house of the knight of castle. Which one of you would like to show me the way?"

Wu Mingyang asked.

"Young man, tell me what you've come for!"

An old farmer stood up with a sickle. His hands were covered with calluses, but his eyes were quite sharp, and he was tall. He should have been trained and had the experience of being a soldier.

"I've come to visit the widow and daughter of the knight of Castle!"

Wu Ming said directly.

The Archbishop of the church is right in saying that the holy oil for knights collected by the count of blue mountain has indeed run out. The Lord Wu Ming is loyal to tells him with regret that if he wants to be baptized by knights, he should at least wait until this winter, unless he is willing to accept gifts from the church or viscount Garcia.

Obviously, Wu Ming immediately refused and was ready to come to his own territory.

This time, the count of blue mountain let him go and gave him a certificate. Of course, the whole Fengying plain has little territory to enfeoffment.

But Wu Ming was very lucky. His Lord, the Earl of blue mountain, had just suffered a defeat and killed several knights, so he left a few manors vacant.

This is also why the Earl of blue mountain can promise to canonize the champion of the competition.

Although he is a powerful aristocrat, he is also constrained by the aristocrats under his command. If he really wants to talk about the courage of reform, he will lose to Garcia, an outsider.

"You want to see Madame?"

The old farmer's hand trembled, his body even began to tremble slightly, and his face was filled with fear.

"Come on, old Joe will take you where you want to go!"

He took a deep breath and said slowly, winking at the young man behind him.

The young farmer didn't move at all, but a child holding the thatch beside him was stunned. He quickly dropped the farm tools and ran away.

"Let's go!"

Wu Ming didn't seem to see his little movements at all. He said directly.

Joe put down his sickle, took out another straw, held it in his mouth, and happily led the way.

He first took Wu Ming to a fruit forest, where apple trees are planted and the branches and leaves are luxuriant. It must be a beautiful sea of flowers from April to May.

Under the fruit forest, there is a graveyard. A large number of names are engraved on the white marble. There are civilian mounds, and several tombs are built with marble, just like the tombs of nobles.

"We come from the tuckers, we fight for freedom!"

At the entrance of the cemetery, there is also such an inscription.

"Tucker?"

Wu Ming smiles.

"Yes... Our ancestors are a group of savages. We have the blood of savages and will fight back against all cruelty!"

Old Qiao Fu looked Wu Ming in awe inspiring manner.

"What a clever old fellow. Have you guessed anything yet... What's the use of that?"

Wu Ming said: "I can ignore your offense and deception, but before dark, I have to see the lady of Knight Carlos!"

As soon as Qiao Fu stayed, he knew that his plan of delaying time had been seen through.

After all, he was still a leader. Even though he had been a mercenary for a period of time and had some knowledge, he still didn't dare to do anything to an aristocrat.

Anyway, he had already taken the other party around in a big circle, and the plan had been achieved. He immediately laughed and showed his brown teeth with pitch black: "of course, our wife is a kind and kind person, and very hospitable!"

This time, Qiao Fu didn't cheat any more, but Wu Ming didn't arrive at the residence of Karos until it was nearly dark.

With the financial resources of the knights, they were still unable to build a castle, so they all lived in a huge wooden villa.

The oak floor, the red sandalwood steps and window sills, the brocade curtains, the red roof, all these made Beatrice's eyes nostalgic.

In front of the villa, several worried women are already waiting.

"Guests from afar, I'm Amelia, the local host. Tell me what you've come for!"

The widow of the knight Carlos looks about thirty years old, fair skin, tall, is a rare beauty.

And behind her, there are two girls, one looks only 15 or 16 years old, the other is younger, all dressed in ladies' clothes, looking at strangers with curious eyes.

Wu Ming touched his nose and finally knew what Baron Terry's ambiguous smile and jealousy meant.

"My name is William! William Wallace! Canonized by the Lord count of blue mountain, he will become the new Lord of Carlos

Although there is a feeling of bullying orphans and widowed mothers, Wu Ming will not give up what he has and says directly.

As soon as he said this, he saw the lady tremble, and when he showed the other party the certificate of canonization with the seal and signature of the Earl of blue mountain, Amelia's face became paler.

"No!"

She shrieked, making the two Loris behind her tremble and grasp her skirt.

"It's against the law! I want to appeal to other nobles! The count of blue mountain has violated the noble's sacred agreement, and his appointment is invalid! "

"I'm sorry!"

Wu Ming's voice was cold. Before he came, he was ready: "Knight Carlos died in glorious battle, but he didn't leave any male descendants, not even a close relative who can inherit the title. It's reasonable and legal for the Lord to take back the fiefdom when he lost his heir and can't fulfill his duty of loyalty to the Lord!"

"Gods, let the dragon take you away!"

Mrs. Amelia's face was full of despair, two lines of crystal tears came down, holding her two daughters in her arms.

She knows that everything about her husband will be taken away, and the young people in front of her will live in her old mansion and give orders to the territory. If the situation is worse, she and her daughter will be driven out of the territory and face the malice of the whole world in cold and hunger.

"It's getting late. Won't your wife entertain us?"

Looking at Beatrice, she could not bear to pull her sleeve, but Wu Ming said helplessly.

Mrs Amelia is a strong woman. After sobbing, she finally stood up and saluted Wu Ming with her skirt: "good Lord, I hope you can give me some time with my poor two daughters!"

It seems that Wu Ming and Beatrice are the only two people to see, and there is another spark in her eyes.

"It's natural!"

Wu Ming goes into the villa with Beatrice and has dinner with the hostess who looks worried.

……

"Master!"

Late at night, bitress, who shared a room with Wu Ming, said, "that lady..."

"I know... Let's have a rest early. There will be an interesting scene tomorrow!"

The other party's choice is very few, Wu Ming has seen through everything, in a wise way.

The next morning, breakfast is fried egg cake, and two pieces of baked bread.

While Wu Ming is dining in an elegant posture, Amelia comes to the hall with her two daughters who are obviously dressed up. She regains her confidence and charm and says her condition: "you can inherit my husband's territory, but you must marry my daughter!"

Obviously, after a night's deliberation, Mrs. Amelia, who had few choices, found her way to security.

"My Lord! I hope we can satisfy you! "

The two lollies, one big and the other small, were blushing, but they still held their skirts and saluted Wu Ming, which made Beatrice swallow a mouthful of milk discontentedly.

"If... I don't want to, or..."

Wu Ming's face with a strange smile: "I fell in love with my wife, and you?"

"Nine levels of hell!" Mrs. Amelia blushed: "I knew you were a shameless bastard, but this is still my territory. You can only choose according to my requirements!"

In her heart, she was lamenting that if she planted this cause today, she would reap bitter fruits in the future.

Even if the other party makes a choice under her compulsion, I'm afraid that he will retaliate when he takes control of the territory in the future.

But compared with the revenge in the future, she still had to drink the honey wine with poison.

"Oh? By the people out there? "

Wu Ming put the last egg cake into his mouth and wiped his mouth with a white cloth. Then he grabbed his sword and opened the door of the villa.

In the small square outside, many farmers were already standing closely, with pitchfork and sickle in their hands. They were led by Joe and the housekeeper, who had seen each other yesterday. They were staring at him nervously.

"You..."

Wu Ming's voice amplified: "what do you want to do? Against your Lord? Do you know I can hang you all by this alone? "

In this era, there seems to be a natural chasm between nobles and civilians. It is a capital crime for a civilian to insult a nobleman. If a nobleman kills a son of his territory, he must give a reason. If the son belongs to other noblemen, he must make monetary compensation. This is stipulated by law!

Therefore, as soon as his words came out, several farmers stepped back with uneasy faces.

"Don't be afraid, he's just bluffing!"

The old housekeeper roared hard, and immediately he was hit on the ground by a roaring figure, with his nose broken and blood flowing.

Whew!

A shadow of the sword flashed by. Joe's hands were sore, and his sword was broken in two. Looking at the other farmers who could not stand on the ground and the arrogant figure, an idea emerged and he could not help blurting out: "Knight!"
