My Wife Is Great Fief Lord

Chapter 18 Infiltrate

After listening to Thomas’ words, Gervais felt that there was some truth to it, and the serfs living in this territory really needed to know that they had a new lord.

“Thomas, your proposal is very good, but you don’t need to call the townspeople. I will patrol the territory tomorrow and arrange for a guard to be responsible for shouting. When the time comes, they will naturally know!” But Gervais, who summoned the townspeople, felt that it was unnecessary, because he also disliked formalism in his previous life, as long as the guards shouted at the back when they patrolled tomorrow.

“Yes, Mr. Gervais!”

After finalizing tomorrow’s affairs, Gervais returned to his bedroom and ran all the way. Even a trainee Knight would feel tired, so After Gervais washed up, he lay down on the bed and fell asleep.

……

In the early morning, the gate of the castle was closed, and the whole castle was shrouded in darkness. It was a brazier used to light the soldiers at the vigil.

Four or five thick logs were burning in the brazier. Not far from the brazier, three people were gathered around, and the three of them were discussing something in a low voice from time to time.

“Captain, what to do! The matter in the guest room will definitely be discovered by Lord Baron tomorrow!”

These three are Benny and his two henchmans, who were born Captain before Benny will not be stationed on the city wall, let alone on duty at night.

But this time is different. Now the castle has a new owner. This time, Benny personally ordered to replace the other guards who were supposed to be on duty tonight.

Gervais came to the territory today and did not remove Benny’s Captain position, so these guards still need to obey his arrangements.

The guards who were replaced by Benny were surprised at first, but considering that there was already a new lord here, they thought that Benny wanted to behave well in front of Lord Baron, so he didn’t think much about it.

But only Benny knew what he was doing.

“What else can we do? We’ll run tonight. If we don’t run tonight, Lord Baron will find out tomorrow and will definitely send us to the gallows!” Although Benny was also full of bitterness, but What he said was unequivocal.

“But Captain, if we run away, we’ll never see our family again! Or… or we’ll beg Lord Baron for mercy, maybe Lord Baron will let us go!” Benny One of the doglegs is still hesitating, as long as they abscond in fear of crime, from now on, there will be no turning back.

He was originally a guard, but he was about to become a fugitive, not to mention seeing his family, and he might even implicate his family.

Benny saw that this subordinate was hesitant, and the other subordinate also began to waver, a cold glow flashed in his heart, but he was still in the castle at the moment, and he also needed these two subordinates to follow him. In the process of escaping, taking two subordinates is definitely better than being alone.

“I don’t care if you want to die! Do you think the nobleman will forgive you for living in the inner castle? And Lord Baron is going to tour the territory tomorrow. If you let him know what we did, Do you think he can get around you?” Benny suppressed the anger in his heart and kept refuting the words of his subordinates.

Seeing that his subordinates were still hesitating, Benny continued: “Does Viscount Lenny know? It’s the nobleman who sent a letter to me last time! I’m going to run to him this time, and he is also a nobleman. Noble, as long as he can protect us, even if we can’t be guards again, we can still have a good time there! I still have 5 gold coins in the guest room, if you go with me, I will give each of you 1 gold coin!”

“Captain, I’ll go with you!”

“Captain, I’ll go too!”

After listening to Benny’s words, The two men immediately made up their minds and no longer hesitated.

Originally, although they knew that they would stay and beg for mercy, the chances of surviving were not very high, but compared to being a wanted fugitive, which might involve their family members, they were more willing to gamble, at least the family didn’t have to. be implicated.

But when Benny talked about his plan, the two saw a better way out.

The nobleman Benny mentioned, they do know that just over a month ago, the nobleman sent a steward to look for Benny, although they did not know that the nobleman was looking for Benny. Specific things, but it shows that Benny did deal with that noble gentleman.

If the noble man really will protect them, they don’t need to hide in Tibet, when the time comes, even if the noble man can’t get an errand, they can take what Benny gave them A gold coin decent life for several years.

“Now that you’ve decided, let’s start! If you want to get gold coin, you have to go to the guest room with me to get it. You guys can be smart!” Seeing the two men make up their minds, Benny After explaining something, he led the two of them to walk down the city wall.

Prepare to open a little city gate secretly first, so that there will be no obstacles when running later.

The escape plan was something that Benny thought about in the afternoon, because he knew what he was doing. Even if Lord Baron didn’t kill him, the best outcome for him would be to become a serf.

He doesn’t want to become a serf, because he still has 5 gold coins. As long as he escapes from Count Jones’ territory, he can plan his future life calmly. As for what he said about knowing Viscount Lenny, this is half true half false, Viscount Lenny did send someone to write to him, and the 5 gold coins were also sent by Viscount Lenny. But

he has nothing to do with Viscount Lenny, and only relies on the position of Captain stationed here to get all this. If he becomes a fugitive, it is estimated that Viscount Laney would be happy to arrest them and get back the 5 gold coins.

5 gold coin is a great wealth for them, Benny is very regretful now, why did he choose to put the gold coin and the letter in the guest room.

When Gervais didn’t come, only Benny and two doglegs dared to live in the inner castle. Compared with putting them in a wood house or carrying them around, Benny felt that it would be better to use gold coins and letters. It is safest to put it in the guest room and will never be lost.

But Benny had a thousand calculations, and absolutely didn’t expect, a castle that had not had a lord for 30 years, had a master overnight, and it came so fast, completely let him completely unprepared.

When Lord Baron settled in the castle, he would never have the opportunity to go to the guest room just and honourable, so he could only choose to sneak in tonight, taking advantage of the current shortage of manpower in the castle and the emptiness of defenses, to get back what belonged to him. gold coin and that letter!

In Benny’s mind, 5 gold coins are very important, and the letter is not to be lost, because if the letter falls into Lord Baron’s hands, then when the time comes, the hunt for him may increase On the count adults.

A Baron’s influence can only be reflected in his own territory, but a count’s influence is enough to make him wanted throughout the dukedom.

As three people who have been stationed here for a year and a half, of course, they know the topography of this castle very well.

They didn’t dare to enter through the gate of the inner fort, but chose the side of the inner fort, where there is an iron bar above a window already not in, as long as you find a ladder, you can pass there to reach the inner fort. At the stairs, the castle’s guest rooms are all on the second floor and no one lives. The first floor houses the steward and servants. Lord Baron’s bedroom and study are on the third floor, so as long as they are careful, they will not be found.

The three cautiously climbed into the castle from the window. There was no light in the castle, and they didn’t dare to set fire to it, so they could only grope slowly in the dark based on memory.

……

Johnny Slipper was very excited, he felt that he must have been blessed by God today.

At first, he was very aggrieved when he was called by the guards to clean the castle for no reason in the street. Because the task of cleaning the castle is rotated, although there is no money, but it only gets one turn every two or three years, and everyone has no opinion.

He only attended a castle cleaning last month, didn’t expect to be summoned by the guards again today, Johnny felt aggrieved, but he didn’t dare to object, facing the guards and When it came to Master Thomas, he didn’t even dare to show any unhappy expression on his face.

Although he was reluctant, when he was assigned to clean the area, Johnny was very attentive. Not only did he clean every corner of his area, but he even helped others clean it together. Perhaps God saw his diligence, Lord Thomas chose him, let him and another serf stay in the castle, and told them that if the past few days behaved well, they would have the opportunity to become the real valet in the castle in the future .

Johnny feels like today is like a dream, the manservant in the castle, that is the most honorable and honorable job in the domain, ten thousand times better than the mud legs rolling in the mud .

In the past, he had heard from the merchants who came to do business in the territory that as long as you became a real servant, you could get a big salary, wear new clothes, and sometimes the adults didn’t finish their food. There will also be white bread and grilled meat in the food. Those leftovers of white bread and roasted meat will be rewarded by steward to excellent servants.

Johnny couldn’t stop drooling just thinking about that fluffy white bread, because he really got a small piece of white bread tonight.

It was already midnight, but Johnny was so excited that he couldn’t sleep, he sneaked out of the room on the first floor, and at the entrance of the stairs, he took out something from his arms by the moonlight, and slowly. Slowly pulling away the rags outside, Johnny finally saw the white bread inside.

This is the white bread Thomas gave him tonight. Because he has never eaten it, he is reluctant to eat it all at once. He only ate half of it, and the other half is in his hand. Johnny is holding the white bread. , put it on his nose and smelled it, the rich wheat fragrance made him intoxicated, and Johnny was about to open his mouth and take a bite of the white bread in his hand. .

However, just as he was about to take a small bite of the white bread, he suddenly heard a sound from outside the window. Johnny was startled and quickly retreated to the bottom of the stairs cautiously, hiding in the corner and secretly watching the window where the sound came from.

As time passed, a head suddenly stuck out of the window, startling Johnny, and hurriedly covered his mouth, daring not to make a sound. When the three people climbed into the castle and walked slowly up the stairs, Johnny came back to his senses, so he immediately ran to Thomas’ door and started knocking on the door, with a high-pitched shout.

“Catch the thief, quickly catch the thief! A thief is entering the castle!” Johnny was a country serf. It was the first time he encountered such a thing and was frightened.

Now that I have reacted, I don’t even think about whether this will surprise the thieves who sneaked in. I just want to inform everyone immediately, so Johnny’s voice spread throughout the corridor, and even the third floor staircase is responsible for guarding The guards heard the shouts.

The guard, who was already a little sleepy, was shocked when he heard the shouting, and he didn’t dare to be careless at all. He quickly moved towards and walked behind him. The guard came to the door of Gervais’ room and knocked. Gervais’ door.
