Hai'an refused to give up. After walking down the tower, he asked his brother Gu Lie to be found.
When a middle-aged knight with a goatee came over, Hai'an said, "Are you ready? If the situation changes, just take action."
"Sister, don't you agree with what Oran's priest said?"
"Humph, do you know what gift the priest brought?"
"80% of them are gold and silver rings, women's jewelry, or some soft cloth? You can give me some if you don't want."
"Gulie, you are the hope of our family. Stop hanging out with women who have husbands. I can find you a noble wife again. Do you know what people say about you behind your back?"
"I know, court stallion."
"You can still laugh!"
"I don't want to be controlled every day anymore. This is my only hobby. You don't know."
The forty-year-old Guile looked no older than thirty. His experience as a mature man and his strong body allowed him to hang out among women.
He was not afraid of anyone who came, and he had many illegitimate children, which earned him the negative title of "Palace Stallion".
Hai'an couldn't control Gu Lie, so he could only bring the topic back and said,
"Those things were looted from the territory of 'West Moor'. Among the silver rings they gave me, one was the one I gave to the old man. It has our family motto engraved on it. Use my things to give it as a gift." Give it to me, they really know how to do business.
The reason why I agree is just to help His Majesty determine legal obligations and strengthen the kingdom, not for personal selfishness. "
This was a beautiful thing to say, but the main thing was that Haian regretted it.
She discovered that her husband had been acting mysteriously recently and had no idea what he was up to.
The day before yesterday, she sent someone to see Malm. Since her husband would not allow her to banish Malm to the monastery and completely deprive her of her rights, then let Malm become a defective noble - such as a blind or mute, with physical appearance. The incomplete heir, Hai An thought, would be a very small threat.
But the things she sent over were returned by the guards, who sent back a message, "According to His Majesty's instructions, any items given to His Highness in the future must be inspected before being sent in safely."
Yesterday, Malm was taken away by people sent by Ella, and his whereabouts are unknown.
The more Haian thinks about it, the more worried she becomes, so now she wants the alliance to break and Oran to give up Malm.
But he also wanted Olan to surrender and become a legal vassal, and at the same time become a strong supporter of his son.
Otherwise, according to the current family situation, once Ella unexpectedly falls, the nobles may switch sides and support the former king again.
Seeing Haian's nervous expression, Gu Lie said.
"Sister, your ideas are too messy, I have a way."
"what way?"
"His Majesty has four daughters. Excluding the eldest daughter and the second daughter born to you who is already married, we also have the third and fourth royal highnesses. Although their beauty is much worse than that of Malm, they are also from the royal family and have matching status. Moreover, these two children are easy to control and cannot fight against you at all, and there will be no outside relatives (Picts) to help them claim claims in the future."
Gu Lie's words made Haian suddenly enlightened. Yes, why must we follow Olan's ideas?
You should take the initiative yourself.
As a princess, she can make Oran kneel at her feet and kiss her, and obey her orders to marry her daughter.
As for who to choose?
The third daughter is a bitch, so let’s use the fourth daughter...or my niece...
…
Among the conditions that Oran had previously sent to negotiate, His Highness Ella would come out. After the two parties negotiated outside Danbao, they would be witnessed by priests. They would swear to each other under the witness of God that they would not harm each other before they could enter the city with him.
Oaths can be important or not worth mentioning.
But if God is involved, it's very important.
Especially this kind of important promise in front of the soldiers and the people, if you dare to break it if you turn around, it will be difficult for your enemies or friends to believe your oath in the future.
On the British Isles today, there are two kinds of oaths - one that cannot be easily broken.
One is a promise to God, and the other is a friendly covenant between relatives.
Oran came with more than 300 people, and also threatened the surrounding people who did not live in the castle. Unless Ella really didn't care about the life and death of these people, the grassland talks outside the square would be safe for Oran.
After noon, Oran looked at the figures above the castle and knew that they were the crowd of nobles in the city, and maybe Ella was among them.
He couldn't see clearly, so he called Ulf and said, "Send someone to see my new lord, His Majesty Ella, and ask him to come out of the city to meet."
Ulf rode his horse into the dust, followed by two riders.
"Where are you from?" the soldiers on the tower shouted.
"Your Excellency Olan Vijay, who comes from County Durham, is brave and fair, and fights against the Viking wolves without giving up an inch!"
After the priest introduced his master, the camp on Oran's side burst into cheers.
Then the priest continued the next sentence,
"Your Excellency Oran is here to pay homage to His Majesty Ella, the only true king of Northumbria."
This "salute" was shouted, and then the two knights behind the priest drew their swords at the same time in response. A few seconds later, several hundred people from the Oran army further behind shouted in unison, "The only true king, His Majesty Ella."
This is the slogan Oran asked the soldiers to remember before setting off. He first gave it to his future father-in-law to use.
A few people shouted, which may be short and weak.
Dozens of people shout, perhaps noisily or loudly,
Hundreds of people shouted, and the momentum was like thunder!
This gave Ella enough face and made him feel much better about Oran.
Everyone wants face. The more face you give, the better you can negotiate.
Oran stopped on his horse, and several important ministers gathered behind him. The gate of the castle in the distance slowly opened, and then a group of black crow-colored riders set out, divided into two lines. Several more noble riders ran out, and the leader It was Ella.
As the distance got closer, Olan also whipped his riding whip to go over.
The figures of each other fell into their eyes, and Oran saw a man with a fat body and scars on his face.
Judging from the appearance, Ella did not match the actual age that Oran knew. She looked over fifty years old.
And Olan is more mature than Ella thought, like eighteen or nineteen years old instead of sixteen.
The two men's horses stopped when they were about a hundred paces apart. At this time, the soldiers could not catch up, but each of them brought a few trusted men forward to greet them.
Ella is the owner of this place, so after Ella moved forward for a while, Oran continued to move forward.
Oran led Nanding and Kunsang, and the three horses rode over, followed by an infantry flag bearer - a Titan.
Ever since he became the castle's first apprentice, butler Nanamp couldn't figure out Olan's thoughts, but since the master specifically asked Titan to learn from him, he should train this boy well.
As the steward of the castle, Nanamp was familiar with all kinds of prices and internal affairs, so he also came with Titan. As his student, Nanamp assigned him the job of a flag bearer.
This job is very physically demanding, and you must be very energetic when holding a flag and emblem, but it is a very honorary position and is generally held by trainee knights.
After getting along with each other these days, Nan Anpu felt that this boy with a hoarse voice was very good.
Know how to be grateful and work diligently. Then give him more opportunities to show his face.
For Tai Tan, no matter how hard the work is, it doesn't matter, and the harder it is, the more food it arranges for itself.
None of the servants or housekeepers in the castle laughed at or deliberately bullied him.
Now he is also learning how to write simple numbers with a quill.
And all of this is thanks to Lord Oran. He has to work harder to repay the kindness.
People born in poverty often understand the value of a stable life.
