Vol 2 Chapter 53: crisis

Walk northeast along the fence of the farm, climb up a hillside, you can see the Agri River.
This also made a lot of Bohemian cavalry have a deep impression on the wealth of the Cosenza family, at least this line extends to the riverside wall, so they were surprised for a while.
However, at this time, Ruosha was obviously not in a mood to let guests appreciate her manor. Alexander ’s words caused her uneasiness. What ’s worse, she only remembered it now. It seems that all the people of the Cosenza family are against the south bank of the river. The farms are not familiar, or no one really cares about those farms.
So this kind of thing happens because the farm on the north bank is not only the largest but also the closest to Cosenza, but the farm on the south bank is a little too far away, and Ruosha also has to admit that they care more about whether they can live Be more comfortable.
Obviously, the farms on the south bank not only have a long way to go, but also have to cross the Agri River to make the Cosenza people lose interest, so they always want to send the account book in advance, at most it is to send a few In the past, the tax collectors counted the books, which has made the Cosenza people feel troublesome.
"The people of the Cosenza family are hunters. We are more willing to take a spear or a hard crossbow into the woods to hunt, rather than dealing with these fields and various vegetables." Worrying, she couldn't help urging the mount to betray her. Obviously, the Countess at this time was not as casual as she looked.
"Looking for a boat to cross the river, or is there a ferry nearby?" Alexander frowned slightly at the already visible Agri River in the distance. He actually understood the thoughts of the Cosenza family. The far door always makes people think that there are things that make people worry or even fear. This is why people always respect people who are willing to go to a foreign country. That is because for most people, they only need to listen to some places. The name is enough to be scared out of hiding at home.
Ruosha also raised her eyebrows, thinking that she could show off her feelings in front of Alexandria. She was even a bit annoyed why she did n’t go directly across the plain to the other side of the river when she first went down. Now she looks at Ag In Lihe, she could only shake her head in exasperation: "There should be boats nearby, but they are all too small, and here are all fields. Usually, not many people will go to the other side of the river. There is a bridge there, "Speaking of this, Shasha exhaled." But that would have to go a long way, and it would delay for nearly two days. "
Looking at Rusha's somber complexion, Alexander could also guess her mood at this moment.
If Elliott did n’t lie, then Frederick ’s people might have reached the other side of the river early in this time. It ’s just that they should n’t have done too much. They just surrounded Coson in the Bohemians. After the inspection, they began to make some moves.
This means that as long as you can catch up as soon as possible, you should still be able to control the situation, but if you really delay two days, waiting for them to arrive, maybe something has changed.
But even if there is a ferry, it is useless. They cannot leave the team behind to cross the river alone. Although it is not clear how the farms on the south bank of the river are now, but as long as the people of Frederick are likely to be there, they cannot risk crossing the river alone. .
The only way is still to bypass the river bridge.
"I think maybe I can find a way for you," Elliott, who followed, suddenly came over, and he looked at Rusha and said to Alexander, "If I heard correctly, you just want to prevent some people from seizing you. In this way, why do n’t you entrust me as the steward of your south bank farmhouse? Believe me, I will take good care of the farmland and the nearby land, know that I am the heir to the Taranto territory after all, I I believe that even the King of Naples can't easily dismiss me. "
"Then you can take the farm and the land under your own name for granted," Ruosha replied coldly. She was now sure that the Taranto was not good-hearted, and what made her even more annoyed was that Egypt What Leot said was totally unacceptable, but it was clear that if Frederick ’s people had really occupied the farms on the other side of the river, Elliot ’s suggestion was the only way to delay the time until their team drove past. Approach.
"Miss Count, your distrust of me makes me very helpless, and I think it is also an insult," Elliott said a little harshly, but his eyes were only playful. "If you are not worried, you can send someone and I will go together. When I declare that I am the farm manager, your people can also declare the ownership of the farm by the Cosenza family. "
Elliott's suggestion made Ruo Sha's heart move slightly, thinking about the team's delay in crossing the bridge to bypass the bridge for nearly two days, which made Ruo Sha secretly worry about the various things that might happen in these two days.
Feeling Zuosha's hesitation, Elliott blinked to Alexander, and then he watched Zuosha wait for her answer.
Alexander scolded inwardly that he knew that Ruosha had actually been touched by Elliott, but now the only thing she was hesitant about was not knowing who to cross Elliott alone.
And what made him speechless was that although he didn't speak, he could already feel the slight look that Ruo Sha had left him.
Even Elliott's look at him made Alexander feel that he had actually guessed the result.
"Don't hesitate, let me go." Alexander said voluntarily, knowing that even if Ruo Sha didn't say, he had to take over the errand.
For the Cosenza family, the Agri Plain is important, but for him it is more important here.
To be able to stand in front of Modillo, and even then to be able to make that ambitious Earl a true supporter of his support, this fight for the Agrig Plain is absolutely crucial.
Even though Modillo did not want how clever the in his hand, a thorough idiot was by no means what he was willing to see.
What Alexander wants to do now is not to be too noticeable, but he can't let the count, who may be formally faced soon, think it is worthless and worthless waste, which makes no matter what decision is made. , Both must not be excessive and must be just right.
"There shouldn't be too many people in Frederick," Ruosha seemed to be comforting Alexander, as if making excuses for herself, and then she turned around slightly and looked at Burelli "You can take Burelli together , He might be able to take care of you. "
After listening to Zuosha, Burelli came to the front of the team. He looked at Elliott and looked at Alexander again. Then he said to Zuosha: "If you want me to go, I will go, rest assured I will not let him Something. "
"You shouldn't have anything to do yourself," Zuo Sha leaned over and hugged Burelli, then whispered in a voice that only two people could hear. "If you run into danger, hurry and run alone. I can't lose you."
Burelli nodded, then turned his head to look at Alexander, his eyes showing a smug smile.
"What did you say to him?" Alexander asked in a whisper as he said goodbye to Zuosha.
"I told him to run quickly if there was any danger, no one cares," Ruosha replied without thinking, and seeing Alexander's slightly sunken face, she put her hands on his shoulders flatly. "Now I also To say this to you, I do n’t want to lose any of you. "
Alexander looked at Ruosha for a while, then turned his horse's head silently, chasing towards the few people who had walked to the river.
In addition to Elliott, there were two others who followed Alexander, and Uliu besides Bereri.
Since following Alexandria's departure from Sicily, Uliu has not left his master, and even a few dangerous experiences have always followed him, which has made Alexander very comfortable with the Moors.
As for Mahimo, thinking about the things he had done before, Alexander felt it was better to keep him away from himself at such times.
Even so, the ferry that could be found still took a few back and forth to send their people and horses to the other side of the river. Looking at the black spots of a few activities that could only be seen on the opposite side, Ruosha walked anxiously along the river beach With.
"Maybe I should go with them." Ruosha whispered until a Bohemian came to her.
"Miss, are we going to bypass the river?" The Bohemians asked, looking at her at the same time.
Suo Sha suddenly jumped in her heart. She regretted that Burelli had left with her. Now the whole team except her is Bohemian.
"Yes," Ruosha tried to calm herself down. She knew she couldn't show her panic at this time. Her father had told her more than once how brutal the mercenaries on the battlefield, even if they were themselves. The leader of the country, as long as a little timidity is exposed, they may be torn into pieces instantly by these beast-like guys. "Going downstream from here, you can reach the crossing bridge after two villages, but the road on the other side will not It ’s good to go, because we walked along the bank of another river to reach the farm over there. "
"Oh, that road is hard enough," the mercenary looked at Ruosha. "Miss, we don't know what happened to you here, and we don't want to know who we are going to fight next, we just want to know you promised When will our rewards be given to us. "
The mercenary's words gave Ruo Sha a sudden jump in her heart. She knew that the running for several days had made these mercenaries already agitated, and even she herself seemed a little confused because of restlessness.
Mahimo looked at this scene with a bluish face. He really regretted not crossing the river with Alexander at this time. He thought that there might be a riot in these soldiers, and he felt his hands and feet were cold.
"Your remuneration," Ruosha said firmly in the eyes of the mercenary staring at her, "Not in my hand."
As soon as she spoke, there was a noise around her, the Bohemians' eyes began to become unhealthy, and Mahimo almost fainted.
"They are there," Ruosha turned to point to the other side of the river. "I promise you, as long as you can help me drive away those who encroach on my farm, I will take out everything in the farm as your reward."
Ruosha's words caused another cry, but this time it was full of excitement and joy.
"Miss, can you be the master, shouldn't the farm belong to your father or brother in your family?" The Bohemians headed looked at Rusha suspiciously, although they were willing to follow them because of the huge rewards. Such a long journey across the mountains, but now I heard that there will be such a generous reward, but he did not believe it, especially the woman who promised them, which makes the Bohemians who always look down on women feel unbelievable. .
"Trust me," Ruosha slowly relaxed in her tense mood. She knew that although these Bohemians were willing to believe her, it was only because she was a woman. Once she proved that she could really make them rich, These people may not provide her with greater help in the future. "As long as you are willing to follow me, I promise you will only get more. Do n’t forget that I am not just the Countess of Cosenza, I am still Ag The guardian of the Lihe grain storage area. "
Alexander, who crossed the Agrig River, led by Elliott along the south bank of the river to the south of the plain.
As he headed south, the terrain gradually became sloping downward, and he seemed to be walking downhill anytime, anywhere.
This reminded Alexander that it seemed that as long as he went south in this direction, he should enter a rather low-lying basin.
It's just how big this basin is, but he can't remember.
Even so, he could still imagine what such a fertile land meant.
"It's up to me to decide everything when we get to the farm," Elliott yelled at Alexander immediately against the wind. After walking out for most of the day, although the sun has gradually sunk, the surroundings are still hot, and more importantly They have always been advancing on the path in the field. "Look at how good this land is ~ EbookFREE.me ~ If you can become the lord here, it must be a gift from God."
Listening to Elliott's unremarkable barehearted ambitions, Alexander couldn't help but have a deeper impression of this person.
The shadow of the village has appeared at the end of the field in the distance. As we get closer and closer, we can also see the shadow of people moving slowly between the wheat field and the village.
"Hurry up and maybe catch up with something to eat." Elliott shouted, and he urged the mount to run forward.
"This man is mad." Burelli yelled low. "He dare to treat Agry as his own."
"We need him," Alexander whispered to dissuade. "I said I would recapture the Agri Plains for Ruosha, so here can only belong to her."
Berri seems to think that there is something wrong with Alexander's words, but he can't remember it for a while. In the end, he can only say: "Agri is a lady, and the lady is the count of the Cosenza family."
Alexandria glanced back at Burelli who did not correct his words, but in the heart of Alexandria, Alexander had made up his mind that Agri might have been Lao Sha, but the Kosenza family was another matter.
Elliott seems to be familiar with the terrain on the south bank of the Agri River, and he seems to be more anxious than others, so in the village, he only let people help him feed the horse some water and a little husk. Urging to get on the road quickly, as for themselves, Elliott simply said, "Be patient."
The result of such a rush is that in the early morning of the next day, they have seen the stone castle standing on the top of a hillside at the end of the golden wheat field.
"That's right, Gowanda, the largest farm on the south bank of the Agrig River." Elliott pointed out loudly in front of him. His voice had just dropped, and a team of cavalry suddenly rushed down the hillside.
Looking at the faintly visible flag, Burelli exclaimed: "The Duke!"
