Chapter 138 The Water is Too Cold

I woke up from the wine in no time.

John half-squinted his eyes, holding the wine bottle in his hand, and looked at his old friend.

The person who is looking directly has a look of shame on his face, and the person who is looking at him is feeling terrified.

"Tell me who you came to us for."

The broker knew that his mind had been read: "John, you know, I can't say."

"What can't you say, Count Augusta? Count Perez? Are they really those new nobles? What are they going to do?"

"I don't know the plan, but I hope you will release some water when the time comes. If you don't want to, please keep it a secret."

The broker stood up and prepared to leave.

"We won't do anything, and we will treat you as if you haven't been here today.

Just go ahead and do it. "

Not many people dare to participate in this kind of thing.

Even if Marquis Hassan harmed their interests, he could just pretend to be deaf and dumb.

John watched the other party leave and had nothing to complain about.

He hoped to succeed, and it was not his own business anyway.

…

At the same time, the Marquis of Hassan and several new nobles were having close contacts with the eldest prince.

The king's trust must have a price.

No matter how much that person trusted Hai Shan, there was no way he would not leave a backup plan behind.

The most important thing is to let these new nobles know who is their benefactor.

The eldest prince's trip was, on the one hand, to support Marquis Haishan, and on the other hand, to see if Marquis Haishan had other thoughts.

You said a son died?

Haishan still has four sons. Isn’t it worth losing one of her sons in exchange for the future of the entire family?

Each of these new nobles was personally approved by the king.

Even if there is a game between the nobles and the king, they are all clean and trustworthy.

Some people even have collateral blood relationships with the Lewis family.

Marquis Hassan was very wise and did not ask who the eldest prince contacted in private.

His ambition is limited to becoming a powerful noble, and he has no idea of crossing the line, at least not yet.

Under such circumstances, it is not at all out of the ordinary for several new nobles to invite the Marquis de Haishan as a guise to enjoy the winter snow scenery.

Hussein is very cautious, especially the eldest prince who will also attend secretly. If an accident occurs, it will really become a disaster for the whole family.

All the guards were selected from noble officers brought from the royal capital, and they were fully prepared for safety inside and outside.

Several new nobles also considered safety issues and placed the snow viewing in a local lake.

A large number of soldiers were dispatched, burning fire and manpower overnight to create a piece of water.

Then the cruise ship can move slightly and come to the middle of the water.

When the eldest prince and Marquis de Haishan got on the boat and drove into the water, it was extremely safe.

Hai Shan got on the boat and looked at the distant shore of the lake, feeling the long-lost peace of mind.

Light snow was still falling, and the noble officers standing guard surrounded the entire deck.

Hushan even knew every officer. When he saw someone he was familiar with, he would even step forward and flick the snowflakes off his cloak.

"Thank you for your hard work, Sir John."

Officer John looked at him with a stiff smile: "It's not hard to work for you."

Haishan smiled, but when she saw the eldest prince from the corner of her eye, he still said hypocritically: "It's all for the king."

The marquis and the eldest prince went into the warm cabin for the sake of the king, while the officers still stood guard under the snowflakes.

He didn't notice that the officer named John looked at him like a dead man.

There was no good feast, and everyone except Haishan herself noticed the strange atmosphere.

John looked around and saw that they were obviously recruited temporarily and they were all old friends who came from the royal capital together.

It was also they who controlled the middle and low-level positions in the army who suffered the most serious losses.

As for the Marquis' absolute confidants, they are all standing guard inside.

Hashan knew nothing about this. He smiled and guided the eldest prince to sit down.

Today's banquet is actually about connecting emotions.

The eldest prince could not stay in the north for long, and when he was about to leave, they had to express his feelings.

At the banquet, they even scolded Count Augusta and Count Perez together.

After this process, we both felt much closer to each other.

Baron Chauvin, one of the new nobles, took the lead in presenting a gift.

"Your Highness came to the Northland for a trip. Apart from these snowy scenes, nothing caught your eye. I would like to use some common things to express our gratitude to Your Majesty."

The eldest prince was not polite and accepted it with peace of mind.

Hai Shan watched, naturally unable to say anything.

His portion had already been given away, that is, these new nobles were not so close to the eldest prince, so they chose this occasion to give gifts.

Of course he was disdainful.

After delivering the gifts, Baron Chauvin quietly came to Marquis Hassan while others were giving gifts.

"Marquis, thank you for your care. Could you please step aside and say a few words?"

Haishan turned her head and saw Baron Chauvin's expression, and understood instantly.

"I'll go up there and get some air."

The Marquis climbed up the stairs to the open-air second-story attic. The snowflakes were a little fluffy and made a crunching sound.

The guards here were removed in advance, it seems that some thought was put into it.

Haishan smiled, this is the taste of power. When he was in the royal capital, who among the powerful fiefdom nobles would open their eyes and look at her?

Looking at the ice and snow, there is a kind of pride.

After a while, he heard footsteps behind him and the sound of the door being closed.

He turned around and saw Baron Chauvin approaching empty-handed.

Just when he felt something was wrong, Baron Shawen pressed him against the railing, his face grim, and whispered in his ear: "Let me say hello to you!"

The voice was very soft, and the wind was very loud. Before Haishan could hear his name clearly, he was overturned by Baron Shawen and fell into the water.

The baron stopped and watched for three seconds. The whole process was smooth. There was a huge gap in strength between a knight and an old guy, so it was not difficult at all.

After confirming that the goal was completed, he turned and left.

Traces?

Do you need to care?

Haishan splashed in the water, and the icy cold lake water made his physical strength disappear quickly.

Unfortunately, he couldn't swim yet.

Fortunately, his shouts were heard by the soldiers on the deck.

"Save... Save me... Gugu..."

The whistling wind was very strong, but there were always a few people with good hearing.

Knight John heard it, and then his eyes found the Marquis splashing in the water.

For a moment, their eyes met, and Marquis Haishan even had hope in his eyes.

However, Knight John moved, but didn't say anything in the end.

At that moment, he thought of the income of more than ten gold coins per month, and that his children at home needed to start knight courses.
