Chapter 91: blackmail one

Emerson Wilder awaits the Earl of Kent in the castle dining room.

He was sent to Emden as a royal commissioner nearly half a year ago. The family of the Earl of Kent is related to the Wilder family, and the two families have never been in contact. He worked hard in secret before he was sent to Emden by his superiors. to Emden.

This trip is considered to be a vacation in the territory of relatives. Unlike the lords in the Northwest, the Kent family is known for being rich. Naturally, Emerson will not suffer much after coming here, and with the strength of the two families In terms of relationship, he will not suffer from his master's eyes like other royal commissioners.

There was an announcement at the door: "The Earl is here!"

Emerson stood up to welcome the Earl of Kent.

The owner of the castle walked into the dining room slowly, followed by a young man who looked somewhat similar to the earl.

It was the Earl's son, Emerson's cousin, Jayce Kent.

He greeted the Earl and his son: "Good day, Uncle Kent. Good day, Cousin Jais."

"Sit down, little Emerson."

The count cordially invited Emerson to sit down. He was not at all indifferent as he was when Viscount Angelo visited before, and his pale face was still a little rosy.

After the father and son came to the dining table and sat down, the earl ordered the servant next to him, "serve the meal."

Jayce greeted Emerson: "Long time no see. How are you, are you still used to living here?"

Emerson responded with a smile: "Uncle Kent treated me very well. But you, when did you come back?"

Jayce said, "I just got home last night, so I didn't notify you because I was afraid of disturbing your rest."

A few months ago, Jia Aisi led the army to the south of King Qin, but later, because of the lack of food and grass in the capital, King Qin's army was temporarily disbanded.

The three of them discussed the recent situation, and the Earl of Kent said: "This time the food and grass have been burned clean. After this disbandment, I don't know when His Majesty the King will call the lords from all over the place to serve the king again."

The three people here all know about the shortage of food in the kingdom government, so there is nothing to be taboo about it.

Jayce shook his head: "Before I left, everyone was full of rumors. Our Majesty has really encountered an unprecedented crisis this time. It's not just about food, it seems that the rebels in the south are a bit too strong, and they are very difficult to deal with." Difficult."

There was no sign of worrying about the king in his tone.

After hearing this, the Earl of Kent said to Emerson meaningfully: "Looking at the current situation, both the Wilder family and the Kent family have to make plans in advance!"

Of course, Emerson knew what the earl meant by "planning ahead". It was nothing more than hanging on the tree of the royal family and leaving a way out for himself.

Although he is a commissioner of the royal family, he is still loyal to his family first. Before the situation is clear, he will temporarily maintain his image as a loyal minister of the royal family. , immediately turned to the other side.

Isn't that what everyone does in this day and age?

He gave the earl a self-explanatory look: "Thank you Uncle Kent for reminding me, my father must be fully prepared."

The Earl of Kent laughed out loud. He also knew how to judge the situation and understand current affairs. This is the reason why the two families have been able to communicate and even unite for a long time.

Just as he was talking, the servant brought out the breakfast.

After uncovering the dinner plate in front of the count, a **** smell wafted out.

Emerson wrinkled his nose. Although he had eaten with this uncle Kent several times, he was still not used to the taste.

On the earl's dinner plate was an exquisite glass, which contained neither wine nor fruit juice, but bright red blood, which made one's hair go numb at first sight.

His cousin Jayce was unmoved, apparently used to his father's special drink.

Emerson had visited Emden before, but the Earl of Kent was not yet in the habit of doing so.

This time in Emden, when he had dinner with the Earl for the first time, a large glass of blood was placed on the table, and he was taken aback.

The count explained to him that this is a method of health preservation taught to him by a wandering doctor. Drinking a cup of sheep blood or pig blood with each meal, supplemented with secret medicine, can strengthen the body and prolong life.

Emerson knew from the correspondence between the two families that the Earl of Kent had suffered from a serious illness. When he was dying, a doctor who passed by his territory saved his life. It must be the person who taught him this method of health preservation. .

Now it seems that this kind of health preservation method is still somewhat effective. His uncle Kent is in his 50s, but he is still very strong physically. The only strange thing is that his skin has become a little pale. Maybe it's because I stay in the castle and don't go out very much.

The earl also enthusiastically recommended his health regimen to Emerson, but he couldn't be more grateful when he thought of the pungent **** smell, and how could he have a good appetite for drinking that kind of food while eating.

The earl picked up the cup and took a sip, showing an expression of enjoyment.

When he first drank it, he himself was not used to it, but gradually he liked the taste.

For this reason, he ordered the kitchen to kill an animal every two days, and the blood obtained on that day was the most delicious, and then kept a few cups in the ice cellar to be refrigerated for drinking the next day.

The earl was in good spirits after taking a sip of the "drink", and began to enjoy the food on the table.

He said while eating, "Let's not talk about the rebellion in the south, there have been a lot of things happening in our area recently!"

Jia Aisi, who just came back, became interested and quietly waited for his father's next words.

"Our neighbor to the north wiped out the pirates who invaded the territory by himself. I remember that kid from the Greiman family should have just turned 15, and he has this ability."

Jayce snorted, he was just a mere pirate, he said with a little disdain: "No matter how young the lord is, his vassals can still work."

The Earl of Kent continued:

"After beating the pirates, our little earl seemed to swell up, and even took over the next door, Bairdin. Speaking of which, he and Bairdin's lord, Melon Ganard, are blood-sworn brothers~www.readwn. com~ There are two versions of what happened. One is that Glennard's vassals are plotting to kill their lord. Myron Garnard's autograph, though possibly forced."

"The other is what Garnard's vassals preached. Greiman coveted Bairding's wealth and detained Myron Garnard in the name of a banquet. They raised an army to get justice. Of course they failed unexpectedly , How could several viscounts and barons compete with one earl, so these guys ran to us..."

Jia Aisi continued his father's words: "Do you want us to send troops to help?"

"That's right, Bairdin's manager, An Qiluo, came to look for me every few days."

"Father, which side do you think is lying?"

The Earl of Kent shrugged his shoulders: "It might be Graiman, it might be Angelo, or both sides may be lying. Who would know? Old Ganard's death was unknown, and Angelo and the others couldn't get away with it. And it is also an indisputable fact that Gleiman took over Bairding. So, my child, it doesn't matter who is lying, what matters is..."

"Make the choice that is best for us!" Jayce understood what his father was going to say.

Seeing his son so mature, the Earl of Kent nodded with a smile, raised his glass and took a sip of the "drink".

"Angelo has already offered his price—half of the land of Bairdin. I don't know how much Graiman can ask for. Now I'm considering who should go to Arda."

As soon as the earl finished speaking, Emerson, who had been listening to them silently just now, stood up.

"Uncle Kent, if you agree, I would like to go to Arda."
