Rise of Rurik Chapter 1225

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? The attack on Aachen...is also your order?" Gisla thought more and more and became more and more uncomfortable.

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 a rough hut by the river, two foxes get together...

"The princess who lives in Aachen is in my hands, and I will hand her over to Ludwig immediately." Blue Fox said this without any excitement or regret, and his attitude was very peaceful.

"Strange. I thought you were going to take this woman for yourself."

"Her? I don't have an urgent need in this regard. If I have some servants and let Frank's princess be a servant, Ludwig might hate me to death. However, if there are some changes, I can."

Heihu really didn't understand what he said: "I'm not a servant, but... a wife. Besides, so what if I'm a servant? Brother, I have now learned some important military information."

"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. Liudov is going 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, but I think he's banned. Hehe, hehehe..."

There was too much information in a short period of time, and Blue Fox asked loudly with a sullen face, "Why are you laughing?"

"Haha, I'm crazy too. I'm going to the Saar River again, this time to block the back lane of the Zhongwang** team. As long as Ludwig wins, the entire Saar region is mine. No, it's ours. "

"Huh? I have learned about the previous battle in Nassau, so you are still not satisfied with Lyingal."

"Why should I be satisfied? I will take the opportunity. Brother, didn't you win in Aachen too? I don't believe you, so you don't have much thought."

"Oh, that's true." The blue foxes thought to themselves, leading troops to fight against the Maas River, and they had countless experiences 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. Now you are either a fox or a ferocious bear."

"Thank you for the compliment. Seriously!" He stared at the face of the second brother Blue Fox: "Trier! You told me to continue upstream along the Moselle River. After Trier, you can go straight to Metz .”

"Attack Metz?" Blue Fox had to cheer up, "It's crazy!"

"Looking at the way you frown, you think we can't do it."

"It can be done! But not now." Blue Fox stomped his feet vigorously and yelled: "There is a limit to human ability! The expeditionary army is very tired now, and the whole army should rest for at least a month. Of course we can attack Metz, as long as we are energetic." Must win."

"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 Earl Metz's army, and his rear is empty. We only need to send out a surprise soldier You can win. In my opinion, a thousand people are enough."

"What else?!"

"Is it still fake?"

"This matter still needs to be weighed carefully. Anyway, I will see Ludwig in person soon, so just ask him face to face. As for your plan, brother." Blue Fox pinched his beard and pretended to think, "It's not impossible to implement it."

"You agree?"

"I didn't say that." Blue Fox frowned, a little disgusted: "It's nice to be young. You just think about it and don't think about the possible consequences. You have to suffer and pay the price of blood to learn cautious."

He meant 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 , he sacrificed his own blood to Odin. 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.

The blue fox was really moved, the so-called mobilization of the entire army is absolutely impossible, but if together with the garrison in Nassau, he cobbled together an army of thousands of people to launch a sneak attack, he still has the courage

"To be honest, since you attacked that Sarabrücken once, going there again is like sucking on a rib that you gnawed on. How can there be any meat to eat? At most, it is some crumbs." The blue fox said It was enough to imply a 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 before. Brother, we must be big when you come."

"Okay. But I'm new here, and I didn't expect Ludwig to really do it."

"There are still four days at most." Black Fox added.

"Four days? So fast? You...you brought a handful of brothers here..."

"It doesn't matter." The black fox shook his head again, "Even if you don't come, I will take my brothers to fight in the south again. 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 to the city to inform Ludwig now, that guy has a good face, and it's not convenient for me to visit rashly because of etiquette. "

"good."

"By the way, there is also Princess Gisla."

"That girl? I ignored that you brought back a girl." Heihu said with a smile.

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

"Okay, I hope he'll be surprised."

Based on their understanding of the Viking tradition, a man is obliged to adopt his nephews and nieces when necessary, and such children are customarily equivalent to his 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 so suddenly, it's okay, the king happened to ask about something."

"Yes, Your Majesty, and... one more important matter. A very honorable... noblewoman."

"Ridiculous, you are hesitating and saying something." Ludwig immediately turned around in displeasure.

The guards were really terrified, "Your Majesty, those Normans said... they went to Aachen and gave the Princess..."

"Aachen? Princess?"

Ludwig immediately showed a fierce look on his face, which made the guard sit on the stone floor in a daze.

"Maybe the Normans are talking nonsense? Your Majesty, that's what they say, and the villain dare not speak nonsense."

"It's just nonsense. It's okay, you step back. Remember!" Ludwig snapped sharply in a low voice, "You didn't see anything and don't know anything about what happened today, do you understand? Otherwise...now you tell the Normans See you, Blue Fox, and that woman."

"As ordered."

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 **** 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 was brewing in Sophia's little mind. Being born as a woman doesn't have to be a mother who can only 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. Jisla, how are you?"

In Sophia's eyes, father Henry just threw himself in his hometown of Nassau, which was doomed to war. This is an 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 his head abruptly, "Fox?"

"Call it whatever you want. You..." Blue Fox noticed the girl's obvious tear marks, "Are you sad? Don't be afraid, your uncle has agreed to see you. Come with me."

"Okay. That's it..."

The Russian army walked into the city of Mainz swaggeringly holding the flag. They were surrounded by the local Frankish soldiers as before, and then commented on them.

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 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 subconsciously searched for a girl's face. 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 won a big 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." Blue Fox deliberately concealed the facts, his eyes were bright as if everything was real. "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..."

"It's easy for you 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 soon tell everything. Let me tell you, the bronze lion, the bronze eagle, the gilded gate..."

"You! And then?"

"It's nothing. I fulfilled the contract, your grandfather's tomb is intact. Only it is intact."

The unknown details revealed by the blue fox fully proved that he was indeed standing in front of 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 all, 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 gave a fierce stare, which made Ghisla quickly hook his head like a frightened kitten.

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. What's the matter? Ludwig, don't you accept it?" The blue fox had already expected this person's possible refusal, but the uncle's refusal to take away the troubled niece was really unacceptable.

"Absurd, why should I accept it. An unknown girl, you say she is a princess? Lothair's fourth daughter is Gisla, she is in Strasbourg, and his whole family is there! Also the king This year must be attacked! I tell you, fox! He wants to kill my whole family, I dare to kill his whole family, I will do it, and all the fools in Strasbourg will be buried with them."

Ludwig's words were extremely excited, all because of the girl in front of him.

Hearing such radical words made Jisla tremble 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 overstep? What about the evidence?" Ludwig didn't want to listen to her explanation at all, and the girl was interrupted by a ruthless scolding just as she was about to speak, "A wild woman pretending to be a princess? Shut up!"

He stared at the blue fox's face again: "You are really a cunning fox, take back your cleverness. This woman has usurped the royal family, come here!"

As soon as the voice fell, two guards entered the house in response.

"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..." Blue Fox's eyes circled rapidly, he took a long breath and tactically took advantage of the **** to get off the donkey, "Maybe I made a mistake, but this girl is indeed pitiful."

"Poor? Do you like it? It's better to keep it as your own servant. In short, don't say anything about Jisla. I've seen that girl before, and I know what she looks like better than you. Fox, fox, don't be deceived." It's gone. You and I can't hurt our peace."

"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 a bad time."

"I think it's the right time. I know everything. My brother is still too young. As an elder brother, I have to help him. You should be smart enough to understand."

Ludwig is not stupid, he nodded: "Take your personal slave and leave for the time being, I am tired today. Tomorrow! We can have a good chat tomorrow, you know, no one will have trouble with interests."

"Alright, then I'm leaving." After that, the blue fox covered the back of Jisla's head with one hand, and pressed his face to 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.

"How did you see that?"

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

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

"Yes. He knows everything, and I'm afraid he would like Gisla to die. It is true that she should die in Aachen, so that the blame falls on us Normans to be captured. Gisla knows too much, and that's why."

"It's so ruthless... even more ruthless than me." The black fox gasped.

"Not necessarily." The blue fox turned and glanced at the girl who was still curled up and crying: "You can hear what Ludwig said last."

"What?"

"If she is really my personal servant, Ludwig will feel at ease. Then 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 out. But bro, you wouldn't..." Heihu's eyes widened, and he gradually smiled 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 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 punched my brother lightly, 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 take his niece away, so Gisla would not give the gift to his uncle, the box of silver coins.

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

Sailing all the way~www.mtlnovel.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 back to the rhetoric I said in front of Charlemagne's tomb...

The blue fox clenched his fists, and he no longer needed to think about it.

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. changed)
