My Wife Is Great Fief Lord

Chapter 32 Countermeasures

Not long after Gervais entered the hall, Thomas brought Laurie and Audrey into the hall.

“Don’t be restrained, find a seat for yourself.” With that said, Gervais took the lead and sat on the large wooden sofa.

Maybe because it’s summer now, Gervais, who is sitting directly on the wooden sofa, feels a little bit slapped and twists his ass.

On such wooden sofas, nobles usually put soft goose down cushions, and even some big nobles will put some furs of large animals, which is not only beautiful, but also comfortable to sit on.

Only Gervais has become the new owner of this castle, and there are no such things for sale in the territory. Even if you want to buy goose down pads, you need to send someone to buy them elsewhere, so you can only sit for the time being.

After Gervais was seated, Laurie and Audrey also found two chairs each to sit down. Gandalf used to let them sit down from time to time, and they were a little tired after running for an afternoon today. Not polite to Gervais.

Thomas, on the other hand, stood up straight, didn’t find a chair to sit on, but took two steps to the side so that it wouldn’t block the view of Gervais and the others.

Seeing Thomas’s actions, Gervais has nothing to say. He knows that Thomas is different from Laurie, who only know how to kill. That’s what Thomas cares about the most.

“How’s Benny’s subordinate going?” After twisting his butt several times, Gervais finally found a comfortable sitting position, and then asked Laurie aloud.

“My lord, Benny’s subordinate has been hanged. Before he was hanged, he informed more town residents in the town according to your instructions. Come to the square to watch.” The answer was Laurie, who usually likes to talk, while Audrey is a bit like a boring bottle gourd, so the two don’t have to discuss it. After Gervais finished asking, Laurie answered on his own.

“Well, very good, then if Benny can be caught next, this matter will be solved perfectly!” To be honest, since Benny escaped last night, Gervais felt that this matter was his own. A big mistake made, if it wasn’t for his own lazy mind, everything at night would not have happened, and Ike would not be hurt.

If Benny didn’t escape and Gervais publicly dealt with these three scumbags at the same time, his reputation would spread throughout the realm, which would be of great benefit to him, although it is similar now, Gervais is a perfectionist However, Benny’s escape always leaves some regrets, this world is so primordial, and the chance of catching Benny at this moment is basically zero.

“Let’s discuss the matter of Viscount Laney.” Putting back his thoughts of letting go, Gervais prepared to discuss the buffer zone solution.

Gervais felt that Viscount Laney must have found a huge benefit in that camp. This benefit originally belonged to him, Gervais, but now Viscount Laney took it away. The longer he dragged on, the more he lost.

Suddenly, Gervais saw Thomas’ expression of curiosity, and remembered that Thomas didn’t know about Viscount Laney’s camp, so he said to Laurie, “Laurie, Thomas doesn’t know anything about the afternoon, you Tell Thomas about Viscount Laney’s camp.”

The reason why I want to let Thomas know is because of the few people present, only Thomas knows the relationship between nobles best, and Gervais has already Think about it, let Thomas be his steward, so these things also need to be informed by Thomas.

Laurie and Audrey were only born as civilians, and it’s okay to fight and kill. It’s just a helpless move for Gervais to have them participate in the discussion. Because Gervais has no one who can advise, so he thinks about three bad guys. The cobbler is Zhuge Liang, and I hope they can also have some good suggestions.

“Yes, Lord Gervais.” Laurie responded with a sound of Gervais, and began to tell Thomas the details of his visit to the camp this afternoon.

“That’s how it goes…”

After Laurie had finished explaining, Gervais said, “Let’s talk about it, is there any better way.”

Gervais’s words fell, and the hall fell silent for a while, Thomas and the three were all contemplating, and did not answer immediately.

Gervais is not in a hurry. This kind of thing is not something that can be thought of when you think about it. Maybe you can’t find a plan today, because Gervais currently does not have the strength to fight Viscount Lenny, which is very embarrassing. .

“Lord, why don’t we go to Lord Gandalf and ask for help. When the time comes we’ll raze the camp and set it on fire.” Audrey was the first to speak. This boring bottle gourd, the way he said it is also in line with his character.

“My lord, I still suggest to tell Lord Count to put Viscount Laney out of your buffer zone through pressure from Lord Count.” Thomas spoke slowly, his opinion was exactly the opposite of Audrey’s, see Audrey was ready to speak again, Thomas paused added.

“If we destroy Viscount Lenny’s camp, it means we will have a big feud with Viscount Lenny. Even if there is really good there, we can’t mine it. We have too few soldiers. I can’t defend Viscount Lenny’s sneak attack.”

“Well, it’s a problem, but if Alice is told, will the king take away the benefits there?” Gervais did think about it. , if Viscount Lenny is really driven away, can he keep that place?

Obviously, he can’t keep it up. The iron-clad man on the fence during the day is the title of Knight, and no one in the Gervais can match.

However, Thomas suggested to tell Alice that Gervais was worried that this matter would become a big issue. After being known by the king, it would attract the king’s attention, and in the end the benefit would not fall into his own hands.

“My lord, under normal circumstances, when this kind of thing happens, as long as it’s not a particularly rare thing, the monarchs will not really develop the buffer zone, but will only warn both sides that after the two sides make rectifications, they will Never mind,” Thomas explained.

“Furthermore, Viscount Lenny is a greedy person. If there is anything rare, he will try his best to conceal it. We are not yet able to snatch the interests of Viscount Lenny there. The matter is so big that Viscount Lenny can’t develop it, and when your strength grows, we can develop it just and honorable.”

After Thomas finished speaking, he didn’t say anything. Laurie was also ready to speak.

“My lord, if we just settle this matter with lord count, it will damage your reputation.”

Thomas stopped talking after hearing about the damage to Gervais’ reputation. , if he goes on, it’s a bit of a disregard for Gervais’ reputation.

Audrey, however, agreed with Laurie’s words very much, and at the same time nods to Gervais’ character, expressing his support for Laurie’s statement. Audrey likes to go straight.

The scene froze all of a sudden, Gervais was a little helpless, what Laurie said made sense, in this world, nobles are very concerned about image, and they like to use words such as bravery and integrity to advertise themselves.

Lanny has violated Gervais’ interests now, but Gervais did not fight back, but only complained to Alice. If it was spread out by someone with a heart, then Gervais would definitely become a joke for everyone, and he would wear a cowardly face from now on. title of nobility.

In fact, there is a deeper reason for this. If Gervais is not Alice’s husband, but an ordinary vassal under Alice, then when Gervais encounters difficulties, it is normal to ask his monarch for help. No one will laugh at it, because everyone has encountered difficulties. when.

But Gervais is Alice’s husband. If Gervais encounters a problem, he will find Alice. In the eyes of a caring person, this is a pretty boy hugging his thighs.

Gervais’s territory and titles are all given by Alice, and if she turns to Alice too much, she will earn the reputation of being a soft eater.

Laurie was a close friend of Gervais’ father and knew Gervais’ temperament, so he dared to remind him that if it was other nobles, no one would dare to expose such a thing in person.

“It is undeniable that Thomas’s solution is the easiest for us to do at present.” Thomas’s countermeasure, Gervais thinks it is very reasonable, and the nobles have a lot of twists and turns.

Gervais was originally worried that the king would know about the buffer zone and that the meat in his bowl would be snatched away by the king, but after listening to Thomas’ explanation, Gervais knew that he was on the horns.

I am worried that this piece of meat will be taken away by the king, isn’t Viscount Lenny not afraid? The things there were discovered by Viscount Lenny, and he should have been the most reluctant to part with it.

I don’t have enough martial power to protect it now, so I can only use the strategy of slowing down, so that Viscount Lenny can’t develop there for the time being, and stop the loss in time.

Laurie and Audrey thought that Gervais only accepted Thomas’s opinion and didn’t mind the flaws in his reputation.

At this moment, Gervais changed his words and continued: “However, I also agree with Laurie’s suggestion, I don’t want my reputation to be damaged, so after telling Alice, I I’m going to do one more thing.”

“Viscount Lenny’s people have been there for a while, and they should have gotten a lot of benefits. When they escorted the things back, we robbed him halfway. , what do you think?”.

Gervais expressed his thoughts. This is the only thing he can do at the moment. The camp is impregnable.

If the robbery is halfway through, as long as the arrangement is properly arranged, it may be successful. The place is densely forested, and there is no problem with hiding how many people. Moreover, if the robbery is successful, he will still know what is in the camp. , can make Viscount Lenny take this seriously.

“Your lord, your idea is wonderful!”

“Your lord is wise!”

Laurie and Audrey thought for a moment after hearing this, Immediately agree to Gervais’ proposal, which will not only recapture what Viscount Lenny has stolen, but also defeat his camp plan.

“Your Excellency, you are really a wise nobleman,” Thomas agreed with Gervais’ suggestion. He had heard a lot of intrigue among nobles in Rose Castle. If there is no evidence left, then there is no problem, and Viscount Lenny can only suffer from this dumb loss in the end.

“Very well, then this matter is settled. I will write two letters in the evening and send them to my father and Alice tomorrow.”

Robbery When the time comes, Viscount Lenny’s convoy is likely to be escorted by the title Knight, and Gervais needs to write to Gandalf for help. It is best for Gandalf to send one of the two lords to come, so as to ensure that nothing goes wrong.

……

In Blackrock Castle, Tabby had returned to the castle when Gervais was conspiring.

At this moment, Tabby has reported the afternoon’s affairs to Viscount Laney without omission and in detail.

Viscount Laney listened to Tabby’s report, looked thoughtful, and tapped the table with his fat and meat-ringed palms. After thinking for a long time, Viscount Laney finally said: “Since the fat and the fleshy circles of the palms tapped on the table, Viscount Laney finally said: That pretty boy doesn’t accept 5 gold coins as compensation, so he must be going to tell Alice about the slut.”

“You send someone to the capital tomorrow and bring 200 gold coins with you, if Alice decides the matter When I mentioned the king, I asked someone to find the Second Prince, gave him the gold coin, and said that we found a silver mine there. I hope he can help to suppress this matter. Gold coins are here.”

“Yes, Lord Viscount, I’ll make arrangements later.”

“How’s the progress in the camp, what about the first batch of mines? I can send it back in time.” Laney suppressed the excitement in his heart and asked Tabby.

The mine in that place is very important to Viscount Lenny, otherwise Viscount Lenny would not take such a big risk and send out so many gold coins.

“Lord Viscount, I went to check their mining progress. I have saved a lot. As long as I wait for a half a month, I can send it back once.” Of course, Tabby knew that the camp was The mine is now the lifeblood of Viscount Lenny, so he went to the buffer zone camp not only for the possible arrival of Gervais, but also for checking the camp and supervising the mining progress there.
