Rise of Rurik - Chapter 1225

[Chapter 1225: The Abandoned Princess and the Blessed New Life]

Gisla never had memories of Mainz.

where is this

The big city in front of you is Mainz?

The pier by the river was bustling with activity, and soldiers came and went under the thick city walls.

On the river, it was clear that the Norman longships traveled to and from the Inn, and to her surprise, each boat hung a cross flag to prove its identity.

“Uncle, are the Normans really doing things for you? You ordered the attack on Aachen…?” Gisla thought about it, and the more he thought about it, the more uncomfortable he became.

As far as clothing is concerned, the Frankish army can be seen everywhere in Mainz. They don’t have the splendor of the Aachen city defender’s flag team, and they don’t have the bloat and fatigue of those people. They have a creepy vigor, which is just her pair. The eyes can also detect the murderous intent.

This is my uncle’s army, and the most opponent is my father’s army.

She doesn’t understand why her own brother can kill red eyes. For herself, is it really right to come to the uncle’s camp?

Although she is a princess, the current Gisla is a weak girl no matter what she looks at.

She saw the fox brothers smiling and embracing him, and she couldn’t help crying when she thought of the father and uncle she had killed so much blood.

For the time being, the blue fox has no time to talk to Gisla. Fortunately, Sophia Nassau is here. Two girls of similar age get together and at least have some common language.

In the rough hut by the river, two foxes gather together…

“The princess who lives in Aachen is in my hands, and I will hand her over to Ludwig immediately.” The blue fox said without excitement or regret, The attitude is very peaceful.

“Strange. I thought you wanted to occupy this woman for yourself.”

“Her? I don’t have an urgent need for this. If you have some servants, let Frank’s princess be a slave, I’m afraid Ludwig will hate it to death.” Me. However, if there are some accidents, I can do it.”

At this point, the black fox really didn’t understand: “I’m not a servant, but… a wife. Besides, so what if I’m a servant? Brother, I have learned some important things now. military intelligence.”

“Oh?”

The black fox believed in Liudov’s statement, not because he believed others easily, but because these statements coincided with what he expected.

In Black Fox’s view, Ludwig’s bragging of “I easily assembled another 30,000 troops” at the military meeting is just boasting. The Eastern Kingdom has already mobilized the main military force. If it is defeated this year, I am afraid that this guy should hide in his hometown in Bavaria. up.

The black fox looked contemptuous, but in the eyes of the blue fox, his brother was still too young.

“You’re so simple, you really hope he’s weak? It’s not good for us if he loses the battle, but he’s an old madman. This guy insists on attacking in the autumn, and he can take Strasbourg before winter? Just count on this.” 30,000 people win the decisive battle? In my opinion, he will suffer a lot in Kaiserslautern, and it is already blessed by the gods to take this city.” The

black fox hastily added: “The Saxons are here too. Liu Duo I want to attack Kaiserslautern.”

“This… Liudov is crazy! Another idiot, does he really think he is a powerful duke?” ”

Liudov thinks he can make a fortune by robbing, I think He just blocked it. Hehe, hehehe…”

There was too much information in a short period of time, and the blue fox asked loudly with a sullen face, “What are you laughing at?”

“Haha, I’m crazy too. I’m going to the Saar River again. The second time was to block the back lane of Zhongwang**’s team. As long as Ludwig wins, the entire Saar region is mine. No, it is ours.” “Huh?

I have learned about the previous battle in Nassau, can it be obtained You are still not satisfied after coming to Ingo.”

“Why should you be satisfied? I will seize the opportunity. Brother, didn’t you also win in Aachen? I don’t believe you are not interested.” “Oh,

it is.” Blue Fox We asked ourselves, leading troops to fight against the Maas River, there are countless things to report to Rurik.

The second brother’s sudden visit was really a surprise. Originally, when the black fox was returning to the voyage, he kept thinking about the possibility of future robbery during the boring voyage.

When there are few soldiers, there are many things that cannot be done. If the second brother’s expeditionary army suddenly joins forces with him, many things can be done.

Taking the opportunity, Heihu said bluntly: “Brother, I have a crazy plan.”

“Crazy? Tell me. I thought you might be weak, but now you are either a fox or a ferocious bear.” ”

Thank you for the compliment. Seriously!” He stared at the face of his second brother Lanhu: “Trill! Yes You told me, continue upstream along the Moselle River, and you can go straight to Metz after passing Trier.”

“Attack Metz?” Blue Fox had to cheer up, “It’s crazy!” ”

Look at you frowning You think we can’t do it.”

“We can do it! But not now.” Blue Fox stomped his feet vigorously and shouted: “There is a limit to human ability! The expeditionary force is very tired now, and the whole army will rest for at least a month. Of course we We can attack Metz, but we can only win if we are full of energy.”

“Don’t fight if you feel tired? I don’t believe that everyone will lose interest in looting. Let’s talk about it.” The black fox sullenly said: “Kaiserslautern is full of metz The army of the Earl of Ci, his rear is empty, we only need to dispatch a surprise soldier to win. In my opinion, a thousand people are enough.” ”

What else?!”

“Is it still fake?”

“This matter still needs to be Weigh it carefully. Anyway, I will see Ludwig in person soon, so just ask him face to face. As for your plan, bro.” Blue Fox pinched his beard and pretended to think, “It’s not impossible to implement.” “You agree

? ”

I didn’t say that.” Blue Fox frowned, slightly disgusted: “It’s nice to be young. You want to do it as soon as you want, and you don’t think about the possible consequences. You have to suffer and pay the price of blood.” Learn to be cautious.”

There was something in his words, and he secretly criticized the large group of impulsive young people on the banks of the Maas River.

And this is the root cause of Blue Fox’s scruples!

The expeditionary force looted a lot of property, and they themselves paid a terrible price for losses. The tragedy is that these costs were obviously unnecessary. That’s the crazy warrior culture, and the self-proclaimed “Warrior chosen by Odin” fought to the death with the superior Frankish army , to sacrifice Odin with his own sacrifice.

Is it all worth it?

Besides, the coalition army led by him lost half of its strength after all, and the young cubs of the newly formed seventh banner team suffered serious losses.

Rurik must be blamed for these things, unless the expeditionary force can seize greater benefits in this civil war among the Franks.

All he knew of Metz was the name “Metz” and nothing else.

How much gold and silver, how much grain is there?

What is the status of Metz City on the battlefield of the Civil War?

The two brothers knew nothing about it, and it was just a “daydream” of the black fox at present.

Who can know the situation of Metz, except for the army of Count Metz in Kaiserslautern, it belongs to Ludwig himself on the other side of the battlefield.

Blue Fox was really moved, the so-called mobilization of the entire army is absolutely impossible, but if together with Nassau’s garrison, he could cobble together an army of thousands of people to launch a sneak attack, he still has the courage

. La Brücken, going there again is like sucking on a piece of rib that you gnawed, how can there be any meat to eat? At most, some crumbs.” The words of the blue fox are enough to hint at the drastic change in his heart.

The black fox was keenly aware of this, and smiled: “I mean it! Anyway, there is going to be a war. I didn’t dare to do it before. Brother, we must make a big one when you come.

” Ludwig is really going to do it.”

“There are still four days at most.” Black Fox added.

“Four days? So soon? You…you are here with a small group of brothers…” ”

It’s okay.” The black fox shook his head again, “Even if you don’t come, I will take my brothers to the south again Fight. I don’t have to listen to Ludwig’s request. It’s up to me when I go south.” ”

You are free. That’s fine.” Blue Fox shrugged, “I’ll rest for a while. You can send someone now Go to the city and inform Ludwig, that guy has a good face, and I don’t feel comfortable visiting due to etiquette.”

“Okay.”

“Yes, and Princess Gisla.”

“That girl? I ignored you and brought her back It’s a girl.” Heihu said with a smile.

“Just tell that guy that the great Joseph Blue Fox has captured his niece from the palace of Aachen.” ”

Okay, I hope he’ll be surprised.”

Based on the knowledge of the two Viking traditions, a man When necessary, they are obliged to adopt their nephews and nieces, and such children are customarily equivalent to their own sons and daughters.

Adoption is very common in the north. In the final analysis, each family needs as much labor as possible to survive in the bitter cold.

The two foxes took it for granted that Ludwig would treat his niece well.

The Norman envoy had no right to report to the palace in person, and the envoy told Ludwig’s valet.

“Joseph Blue Fox?” With his back to the half-kneeling guard, Ludwig faced a bronze mirror that had been polished as smooth as possible, fiddling with his clothes.

He didn’t take it seriously at first, “Is that guy coming to see me? He came suddenly, it’s okay, I have something to ask.” “Yes, Your Majesty,

and… there is one more important thing. One, A very honorable…female nobleman.”

“It’s ridiculous, you have to falter and haw something to say.” Ludwig immediately turned around in displeasure.

The guard was really terrified, “Your Majesty, those Normans said…they went to Aachen and gave the princess to…” ”

Aachen? Princess?”

Ludwig immediately showed a fierce look, which made the guards startled and went straight Sitting on the flagstone.

“Maybe it’s the Normans talking nonsense? Your Majesty, that’s what they say, and villains dare not speak nonsense.” ”

It’s just nonsense. It’s okay, you step back. Remember!” Ludwig sternly reprimanded, “Today’s matter You see nothing and don’t know anything, understand? Otherwise… Now you tell the Normans to see the blue fox, and the woman.” ”

Yes.”

The guards didn’t understand why the king suddenly showed his murderous intent. He was clearly a high-status guard soldier, but just spreading the word made the king angry, so he could only say that he was involved in some unspeakable major matters.

Ludwig really didn’t want others to know that not only did he know about the attack on Aachen by the Ross people, but he even made some suggestions.

What he didn’t expect was that there was actually a daughter of Lothair in the palace.

It shouldn’t be!

All information showed that the eldest brother and his family had gone to Strasbourg.

Who knows?

Perhaps some desperate maid impersonated the princess in order to survive.

After all, it was the Normans who attacked Aachen.

Besides, even if there is a coincidence here, what is the eldest brother’s daughter?

My eldest brother has many children, and I also have many children of my own.

A hapless niece is nothing, the bad thing is that if it’s true, this girl is the damn insider!

She should die because she knew something she shouldn’t know!

Even if it is really my niece.

Subjectively, Ludwig is unwilling to believe the girl’s identity. Of course, the girl herself is not something he needs to seriously consider now.

He really needs to know what happened in Aachen.

As the saying goes, Ludwig wore a purple robe in the army to show off the face of the royal family, and the blue fox blacked out his face, so he waited quietly in the camp by the river.

The news finally came, and the blue fox has recovered his spirit so far.

Poor Princess Ghisla is hard to find a bosom friend, at least Sophia of the Nassau family is a noblewoman and her age is similar to her.

She wanted to get some comfort from this young girl, but all she got was further shock and panic.

Ambition is brewing in Sophia’s little mind. It is not necessary to be born a woman, but to be a mother who can only bear children for a lifetime. The Ross people who came from afar have brought new possibilities-women can also have great power. .

Sophia is just too young to realize her own ambitions, but she is already an earl, and with a huge fiefdom, she has a basis for expansion.

Nassau is absorbing Norman culture, which does not matter whether it is progress or backwardness, or the Nassau family is doing what their ancestors wanted to do two hundred years ago but were unable to do.

It was originally a tiny branch of the Alemanni tribal alliance, and it was forced to join Frank as a nobleman. Now that she had the opportunity, Sophia looked around.

She told Princess Jisla in a high-profile manner: “Lingau, Koblenz are all my territories, and Sargau will also be my territory. Even Trier will be my territory. My father will be my territory. Abandoned, fortunately my husband is a good man, my warriors are brave, we can create a powerful force with our own hands. Gisla, how are you?” In Sophia’s eyes, father Henry threw himself

in his hometown of Nassau, which was doomed to war , This is the act of abandonment!

She was angry with her father, but she was relieved now.

The canary that broke free from the cage turned into an eagle, and the Nassau army is participating in the war with great intensity. In terms of law, the entire army is in the hands of this little girl, and all the tough warriors and lower-level nobles are under her control.

This situation completely overturned Gisla’s three views. What kind of morals made a little baron’s youngest daughter suddenly become an earl with a vast fiefdom?

!

Unlike the fox brothers who are tight-lipped, Sophia is still a child. She is naturally a little apprehensive in the face of the princess of the kingdom. In order to prove herself extraordinary, besides showing off her noble status, she simply bluntly stated the army’s next plan.

The war turned ordinary aristocratic girls into vicious she-wolves, and the princess who wanted to be comforted said nothing. She hated the war, and it seemed that all she could do was powerless and furious.

Gisla was not furious, and she wept silently facing the water of the Rhine River.

She thought of dying, but she was forbidden to commit suicide because of her faith, so now she can only cry silently.

She sat quietly on the stake facing the river, feeling that the boring Sofia had already left, and the princess kept quiet under the watchful eyes of the soldiers.

Suddenly, a big hand rested on her shoulder.

“You?” Ghisla turned around sharply, “Fox?”

“Call it whatever you want. You…” Blue Fox noticed the obvious tear marks on the girl, “Sad? Don’t be afraid, your uncle has agreed to see you. Follow me Let’s go.”

“Okay. That’s it…”

The Ross army walked into the city of Mainz holding up the banner, and they were surrounded by the local Frankish soldiers as before, and then they were judged.

Both “two foxes” put on their war robes and strode forward with swords hanging from their waists.

Ludwig specially allowed the two to meet with swords and shoes. This is not a favor, but essentially a reaffirmation of their alliance.

Because he knew that the blue fox who came suddenly was unusual, this was a general specially authorized by Rurik, and standing here represented King Ross himself.

Jisla tremblingly followed behind Lan Hu, trying to recall her uncle’s face, but only a few times she met her, and her uncle’s face was already too familiar.

The palace in Mainz is thick and simple, and Gisla can’t help but look at it a few times and make comments. Obviously, this palace is far inferior to the palace in Aachen.

As usual, the Ross guards stood in the streets and waited for the blue fox and the black fox to go straight to Ludwig’s usual “living room” with ease.

The two de facto Norman aristocrats seem to be the hosts here, swaggering up the stairs, and Gisla has to follow cautiously. In the final analysis, she is a guest.

In the agreed room, a middle-aged nobleman in a purple robe and a golden crown stood here with a high profile.

Hearing the footsteps, Ludwig said twice, “Fox, are you here?”

“It’s me. I’m the Earl of Gothenburg, and I’m here.” Blue Fox said calmly.

“You?” Ludwig turned around and looked for a girl’s face subconsciously. He saw it immediately, and then he was startled for a moment, then immediately regained his composure, and asked, “Is everything done? You succeeded?” “Of course

, I have achieved a great victory! Moreover, your elder brother’s garrison in the west was also defeated by our side.”

“Is this true?” Ludwig walked three steps forward and stood directly in front of the blue fox: “That’s at least two thousand heavy cavalry! You won easily again?” “Easy victory.

” The blue fox deliberately concealed the facts, his eyes were piercing, as if everything was true.

“My agreement with you has been fulfilled. There are no outsiders here. All the wealth in Aachen is in my hands. Except for Maastricht and Liege, which no longer exist…” “You… it’s easy to

say ” Ludwig couldn’t help clenching his fists, “But I don’t believe it. It’s crazy! How can you really win easily?” ”

It doesn’t matter.” Blue Fox shrugged, “Time will tell everything soon. I told You, the bronze lion, the bronze eagle, the gilded gate…”

“You! And then?”

“Nothing. I fulfilled the contract. Your grandfather’s tomb is intact. Only it is intact.” The

blue fox revealed something different The details known to mortals are sufficient to prove that he was indeed standing at Charlemagne’s tomb, and Ludwig had to believe it.

He whispered: “You can tell me about it later.”

“Yes, but this girl is your niece.”

After finishing speaking, the blue fox brought Gisla to him.

“Look carefully, as an uncle, her face is indeed somewhat similar to yours.”

“This girl?” Ludwig was very confused at the moment, and he stared fiercely, which made Jisla quickly hook his head as if frightened Bad kitty.

Blue Fox continued: “Ghisla, your eldest brother’s fourth daughter, your own niece. You are an uncle, and now I will hand her over to you.” “Is that

so?”

“That’s it. Why? Ludwig , don’t you accept it?” Lanhu had already expected this person’s possible refusal, but his uncle’s refusal to take away his niece in distress was really unacceptable.

“Absurd, why should I accept it. An unknown girl, you say she is a princess? Lothar is the fourth daughter, Gisla, she is in Strasbourg, where his whole family is! Also the king This year must be attacked! I tell you, fox! If he wants to kill my whole family, I dare to kill his whole family. I will do it soon, and all the fools in Strasbourg will be buried with them.” Ludwig spoke

extremely The excitement was entirely because of the girl in front of him.

Hearing such radical words, Jisla trembled with horror, and her legs trembled, because the uncle made it very clear that he was going to kill his own niece.

“Uncle…” The girl trembled all over, and she barely raised her head: “You…are you really going to kill me? I’m really Gisla.” “Bah!

A lowly slave, the devil gave you the guts to let you presume? Where’s the evidence? Ludwig didn’t want to listen to her explanation at all, and the girl was interrupted by ruthless scolding just as she was about to speak, “A wild woman also pretends to be a princess? Shut up!”

He stared at the blue fox again: “You are really a cunning fox Take back your cleverness. This woman has usurped the royal family, come here!”

As soon as the words fell, two guards entered the house.

“You want to be rough?” Seeing this, the blue fox pulled Jisla to his side, clenched the hilt of the sword with his right hand, slightly revealing part of the blade.

“Why bother? For a slave.” Ludwig waved his hand again, and the guard hurriedly retreated upon seeing this.

He continued to be angry: “It is indeed a wild woman, you are making fun of me.”

“Okay! Okay…” The blue fox’s eyes circled rapidly, and he took a deep breath and tactically took advantage of the slope to get off the donkey, “Maybe I made a mistake, but this girl is indeed pitiful.”

“Poor? You like it? It’s better to keep it as your own servant. Anyway, don’t say anything about Jisla. I’ve seen that girl before. I look better than you. Understood. Fox, fox, don’t be fooled. You and I can’t be hurt.” ”

Oh, thank you for your advice.”

“If there is nothing important, take your servant and leave now!”

“Yes.” Blue Fox nodded, and then signaled to his brother Heihu who was greatly puzzled.

“Of course, maybe your brother has told me that our army is about to move. Fox, you came at the wrong time.” ”

I think it’s the time. I know everything. My brother is still too young. As an elder brother, I have to help him. Smart, you should be able to understand.”

Ludwig is not stupid, he nodded: “Take your personal slave and leave for now, I am tired today. Tomorrow! We can have a good chat tomorrow, you know, no one It will be difficult for the interests.”

“Alright, then I’ll go.” After finishing speaking, the blue fox covered the back of Jisla’s head with one hand, and put his face on his robe, allowing the robe to be soaked with tears.

He took the princess away in this way, and ended today’s hasty meeting.

As a result of such a meeting, Blue Fox was satisfied and angry, and he had a “Riddler” conversation with Ludwig.

The so-called certain emphasized words prove the speaker’s will.

Poor Jisla seemed to have lost her soul. She was dragged by the blue fox to the camp by the river, curled up in a ball, and cried silently.

It was late at night, and the Frankish soldiers were still wandering around, making the whole of Mainz noisy.

The Ross camp was uncharacteristically serious. This was the order of the blue fox. He was really afraid that Ludwig would find a way to launch an assassination to get rid of the girl.

The security of the camp is very perfect, no matter how bad it is, everyone can escape in a boat immediately.

Blue Fox gave her a decent chance to be alone, so she chatted casually with her younger brother and sister-in-law outside the wooden shed.

“She, isn’t she really a princess? I think Ludwig said you were trying to amuse him.” The black fox said.

“No, she is Jisla, that guy’s niece.” The blue fox stared at the bonfire, adding more firewood at will.

“Why do you know?”

“Brother, if a person lies about something, he often loudly denies that it has anything to do with him.” The

black fox suddenly realized, and at this moment, Sophia gently took his arm: “I talked to her a lot .She must be the princess.”

“Since it’s a princess, why? Why doesn’t he want his niece?” The black fox just didn’t understand this.

“You, I didn’t hear Ludwig’s attitude. He was going to kill the whole Lothar family. In my opinion, he just said casually because he was emotional. He might not dare to do it himself, and he would not kill his young niece. ”

The black fox suddenly raised his head: “Brother, do you actually know that Ludwig has admitted that this is his niece?” ”

Yes. He knows everything, and I’m afraid he can’t wait for Gisla to die. Indeed, she should die in Asia. Chen, we Normans are responsible for this crime. Gisla knows too much, and that’s the reason.” “It’s

so ruthless…more ruthless than me.” The black fox gasped.

“Not necessarily.” Blue Fox turned and glanced at the girl who was still curled up and weeping: “You can hear Ludwig’s last words.” “What?” ”

If

she is really my personal servant, Ludwig Xi felt relieved. In this way, she will become a Ross, and has nothing to do with Frank. It is even a humiliation to Lothair.” “Well, maybe

this is her only way of life. But bro, shouldn’t you Will…” Heihu’s eyes widened, and gradually he began to smile again.

“It’s not impossible. If that’s the case, she has nowhere to go. There is no problem staying in my Gothenburg. Besides, she is Charlemagne’s great-granddaughter. Ludwig despises her. Our King Rurik may think that It’s a baby.”

“But the king already has eighteen wives, and the king probably won’t want her. And you, you are still single even though you are old.” ”

Boy, I’m not old yet.” Blue Fox gave his brother a light punch , and smiled: “This matter must have the king’s permission.”

“Haha, the king should allow it.”

So the situation was really unexpected, and the blue fox no longer forced Ludwig to pick up his niece. Uncle’s gift, the box of silver coins will not be given.

The poor princess was rejected by her biological parents, betrayed by her maid, and threatened to be executed by her uncle.

Along the way, UU Reading www.www.SonicMTL.com Blue Fox has always been worried about Askad’s joke.

It has been a full ten years since I played for Rurik!

Back then, the immature fat man already had a beard, and it was precisely because he was too loyal to do things that he kept rushing to fight, until now he passively does not marry a wife and has no children.

It’s time to end!

Maybe what Askad said was not a joke, but the gods used his mouth to point out their own destiny.

Thinking of the rhetoric he said in front of Charlemagne’s tomb again…

Blue Fox clenched his fists, and no longer needed to think.

He decides to get Jisra, and asks King Ross to acknowledge all this.

As a result, Charlemagne’s great-granddaughter will lose all names related to Frank. Princess Gisla is dead, and only the Countess of Gothenburg will exist in the future.

(So far, the fate of the fourth princess Jisla, who should not be allowed to marry, was kicked out of the court by her eldest brother Lothar II, forced to be the abbot of a women’s monastery, and died of illness at the age of 29, is forever in this time and space. The change)
