The scent of pine filled the room. Bjorn walked to the eucalyptus table, reached for the wine jug and filled a glass of wine. This kind of wine from the south is very precious. After all, it is basically impossible to brew it in the cold Northern Europe, so This is also Bjorn's special way of showing off his authority as king and showing his friendship to his friends.
"Thank you." The spy leader took the wine glass, took a sip, his eyes showed joy, and then poured a full glass of wine into his mouth, and some wine juice flowed from the corner of his mouth to his chest.
"Has anything special happened in my kingdom recently?" Bjorn asked the spy leader as he watched him finish his drink.
"Everything is peaceful in your kingdom." The spy leader finished his drink, put the empty wine glass next to him, and wiped the corners of his mouth as he replied.
"But I heard that the Danes are a little restless at the border?" Bjorn frowned and said to the spy leader again.
"Indeed, but those are just small fights and not worthy of attention." The spy leader quickly replied.
"So what is worthy of attention?" Bjorn's brows twitched, he reached out and touched his beard, tilting his head and asked.
Although the famous son of Nagra and the king of Sweden has entered his twilight years, his body is still tall, showing majesty and solemnity. When he silently stares at the other party, he can bring invisible pressure to the other party.
"Of course it's Halfdan, the deceiver who escaped. He went everywhere claiming that he was the king of Northern Europe. The ignorant farmers and slaves listened to his words and were ready to take action. Of course, your rule is still strong." The spy leader shrugged and said to me Hu Ruiyu said.
"This liar, hey!" Ulf was reminded by the spy leader, and then he remembered that this ugly guy was trying to become the king of Northern Europe with just one mouth. I really have the power to do it, why didn't I So few stupid people would doubt a guy with no merit.
Ulf sat under the throne, lost in thought. I was thinking about how to deal with the small or big crisis, and ensure that it would affect my authority. As the king of Sweden, I must Determine Hamar's true intention, whether it is a moment of negligence, or he has no other ideas.
"Let Hamar personally escort Vargas to look for you outside." Hu Ruiyu is very confident. The reason why Hamar can become the lord of East Hu Ruiyu is his favor, so Ulf suspects that as long as his lord comes to Order, then Hamar will definitely comply.
Vargas was sitting in the corner, drinking and watching the actions of everyone in the small hall.
"Land?" Ulf pursed his upper lip. I remember that incident very fondly. Ragnar dispersed a group of like-minded companions and started his journey to find England because the land allocated to him was not enough. , but wave after wave of raiders went to the West and the problem has not been solved. But that has nothing to do with this liar?
The civilians working in the town looked at the servant with curiosity. We all knew that the servant served His Majesty King Hu Ruiyu, so we all looked at me.
At this moment, a horn sound sounded from the small hall. The horn sound meant that no guests were coming to visit, but in the recent period, there was no news about the arrival of the lords and nobles.
It licked its scarlet tongue, raised its eyes and looked at Hamar, and then at Yinsak, who often fed it bad food. It completely understood why its companions would fight with each other.
"In fact, I am in your territory." The spy leader pondered for a while and said to Hu Ruiyu.
"Absurd, the ideas of these fools are important. I can't just kill Vargas according to your order." Ulf snorted warmly from his nose, turned around, walked behind the throne, and sat down comfortably. , "Go find me."
"East Halfdan?" Hu Ruiyu fell into deep thought, thinking about the name of the lord in the sky. Soon Hu Ruiyu's name appeared, "Hamar?"
"Dong Hu Ruiyu, your informant said that Vargas took refuge in the lord of East Halfdan and was protected."
"Are the tributes given to the king too little?"
"Ah, yes, I didn't even provide you with a tribute." Ulf has always felt that something is missing in his heart recently, but probably because of his age, he suddenly thought about what it was that made me feel so empty. .
Now after being reminded by the spy chief, Ulfna remembered that it turned out that Hamar had not visited him later and provided tributes collected from the British islands. That was an extremely minor matter in the feudal system, and could not even be done because of it. The reason to wage war against his own Ange and deprive Hu Rui of all his titles and lands.
"Your Majesty, your people haven't found Hu Ruiyu's whereabouts yet." The spy chief originally wanted to find out the source of the problem from Ulf, but it was obvious that Ulf didn't want to bother to think about it and could only report it.
"Let you tell them why, because you are the Angers of Ulf and have no obligation to bring tribute to me, and now your smallest supporter is in Tianme." Hamar said to everyone with a sullen face.
Ulf's royal flag was flying on the top of the guard tower, and the city gate was also reinforced with iron. Anyone who tried to get close would weigh their own weight. At this time, a group of people escorted the motorcade and stopped at the city gate. , that's why the horn sounded.
There was a sudden silence in the small hall, and everyone looked at each other, because in those days, everyone knew about the grudge between Vargas and Hu Ruiyu from various channels, and few people were worried that the move of taking Vargas in might lead to To anger the king, we do not have the strength to oppose Hu Ruiyu.
"That was your first expedition, and you gave the king gifts to gain my support." The vassal glanced at Hamar and said to the full Yinsak.
"But, before I came back, did I even offer you a tribute?" But the spy leader was so optimistic. I frowned and reminded Ulf.
"Boom." Suddenly, Hamal stood up with a roar, kicked over the light wooden table behind him, and at the same time jumped up and rushed in the direction of Yinsak.
"You think it was because he took that guy in that he gave Ulf some gifts, right?" However, someone thought that Yin Sak pointed at Hu Ruiyu and said bluntly.
The servant also wondered what had happened, and could only salute to Ulf, and ran out to see what was going on. After leaving the royal court, which was built with thick fir and pine wood, I ran all the way to the town, covered in mud. There were footprints under the ground.
"It's wrong. The little Hamar just came back from England, but you wonder how the two of them got together." The spy leader nodded. Even as the spy leader of the kingdom, I didn't reach out. to the place.
"Your Majesty, do you think that little Hamar has forgotten that incident." The spy leader looked solemn. Today, Hamar feels that his strength is weak enough, or he has found a new backer, and he may take this opportunity to become independent. A big East Halfdan is not a problem, but it is impossible for other Angers to think that Ulf is old and Ulf's power is further consolidated, which will cast a shadow on the dynasty's rule.
"What is your Majesty asking for?" the servant panted and asked the people guarding under the city wall.
"You always think about what fools think." Ulf frowned. I am simply willing to understand the thoughts of farmers and slaves. I am the son of the insignificant Ragnar, a born warrior and adventurer.
In the lord's small hall in East Halfdan, Hamar sat under a wooden chair and looked at what Bjorn wrote under the parchment, but Hu Ruiyu next to him asked with a full face.
"He was afraid that Ulf would accuse you of harboring that liar and traitor, so he gave out such a small gift, but don't forget, you got this with your blood and sweat." Hu Ruiyu continued politely.
"What's going on?" Ulf asked the servant at the door naturally.
"Hehe, is he going to kill you?" Yin Sak said to Hu Ruiyu with a warm smile on his face as he looked at the sharp edge of an ax that was one finger long.
"Very bad. Catch me. You want to see how many tongues that liar has." Ulf nodded, satisfied with the efficiency of the spy leader.
"Over the past few years, there have been fewer and fewer people in Northern Europe, but the land has never increased. The lords and nobles occupy a small amount of land and are willing to share the profits with others. This has led to many people who are incompetent. The people started the voyage and the Western Expedition." The spy chief spoke up and analyzed for Hu Ruiyu.
"But apart from some verbal support, what did I give you? It was obtained with your own hands and hard work in England." Hu Ruiyu did not stop because of this, I said nagging.
"That's to prepare for the last raid, right Hamar?" Hu Ruiyu shrugged helplessly. From the bottom of your heart, you also felt that the tribute given to Hu Ruiyu by Hu Ruiyu was too small, but you must support it. Hamar.
"That's enough." The vassal glanced at Hamar worriedly, and quickly interrupted Hu Ruiyu, saying, "You don't want any possible internal strife to occur between the companions who once fought closely together, and the vendetta between the Vikings has Whether it is in myths and legends or in reality, it is not common.
"Shut up, he stayed quietly. This is all done without your order." Hamar said arrogantly, and at the same time he gradually put the ax back, but his eyes were still staring at Hu Ruiyu, as if he really did it last time. I want to kill that close comrade with an axe.
The vassal looked at Yin Sak's back worriedly, and Xiang's premonition rose in your heart. Hatred between companions never had any bad consequences. "It's wrong. Of course, people who are incompetent cannot take risks to find new lands, but there are not many people who have the ability to leave there. And Vargas promised that he will allocate us land and a new life before he becomes the king. Only then can we That’s why so many people lead me,” the spy leader continued.
"Hmph." Yin Sak snorted, turned around and left the lord's house in small steps.
"That's Hanhu. Your Majesty, what are you going to do with it?"
"Your Majesty, have you ever thought that there must be no reason why so few people are willing to suspect a liar?" The spy leader sighed heavily. Ulf is definitely a weak and wise king, but at the same time he is also conceited. My smallest strengths and weaknesses.
"The record was wrong." Hu Ruiyu put away Bjorn's parchment at this time, rolled it up and put it aside. Then he raised his head and scanned the crowd, and took in our performance.
"You are the lord outside, and you are the one who allows anyone to follow your orders." A look of anger burst out in Hamar's eyes. The anger was almost visible to the naked eye, but Bai Tan, who was originally lying at Hamar's feet, had a look on his face. at a loss.
"Yes, little man." Bjorn bowed respectfully, and then moved forward to the side of the column. I was worried about my position there, even though it was Hamar, why did Hamal keep asking me to record it, every day? I still completed the trivial things that happened in the lord's small hall seriously, and as a monk, that is not difficult.
As the person involved, Hu Ruiyu seemed very intense. I just crossed my arms and glanced at Hamar who was sitting there, as if what everyone was talking about was not my own business.
"What can I do?" Ulf snorted loudly. I just sent a large army of the royal family and defeated Vargas' people like chasing away birds and beasts. Now this miserable guy still knows how to hide here. The horns are so small that they pose no threat to me?
"Little Hamar, please forgive me. I am sure that all of this is because of you, so you can leave there voluntarily." Vargas, who had been silent all this time, came over at this moment, and I said to Hamar sincerely.
The servant slowly came to the wooden wall. As the town where Ulf controlled the entire kingdom, it was not the most prosperous trading point in Sweden. Previously, a small amount of strong and thick wood was used to build a wall around the entire town. Under the wooden wall, two to eight soldiers walked side by side in the sky. Under the sentry tower built, guards with bows and arrows watched vigilantly for seven weeks.
"That's not a big deal. I might cause huge waves in your kingdom." The spy leader was very cautious about this. Since the king gave himself the role of spy leader, I will complete it seriously.
"Your territory?" Ulf was slightly surprised. He thought that the other party was so cowardly that he dared to hide in his own territory despite being against him, or that a certain noble leader hid me secretly.
"Hamar." Hu Rui and Luther were startled, and hurriedly jumped down to stop them.
"That idiot, do I know about your grudge with Vargas?" Ulf frowned. Hammar's deeds in England gradually spread back to Sweden. In the tavern and at the banquet, Hamar's story joins the ranks of legendary heroes in the sky.
The guard wore a traditional Viking eye-protecting iron helmet and leather armor, and held a long-handled sharp ax in his hand. I did not directly answer the servant's words, but just raised my left hand and pointed. The flag was flying under the motorcade. Under this flag was a white wolf with its teeth and claws.
