Volume Two: The Iron Baron Chapter 222: The Journey to Vallombure (6)
But Balian's next move shocked them. They didn't expect that Balian not only didn't want these belongings, but also sent them back to their attendants. If he really didn't take these gifts, wouldn't he look down on them?
?
Seeing the doubts of his father and son, Balian smiled and said: "How dare you accept gifts from others without making any merit?"
Viscount Raul, an old fox, reacted quickly. He also responded with a smile: "Hey, this is a little bit of my heart. Baron Balian must not refuse it. It is true that we have had some misunderstandings before, but now we
We can get back together. There are many things that can only be win-win if we work together."
Seeing Viscount Raul's smiling face, Balian's mouth twitched slightly. He really looked down on such a hypocritical person.
"Oh, really? Is there anything I can do for Viscount Raul? If so, just tell me directly and I will definitely do my best to help you complete it." Balian patted his chest and said.
"Hahaha!" Viscount Raul laughed a few times, "Baron Balian is really interesting. There is no service at all. It's just cooperation. I heard that your Fort Nolandenburg has two specialties, and our family's caravan can also do it.
As for sales, we have sales throughout the Principality of Brick, including the Valenti people."
After hearing this, Balian pretended to be very happy and said excitedly to Viscount Raul: "That's great. If I can get your help, Viscount Raul, my Fort Noland will definitely become rich."
, you don’t know, others call me Forest Knight, which makes me very sad. I don’t have money, and everyone looks down on me.”
After hearing the word "Knight of the Forest", Sir Yellen's face suddenly turned bad, because when he was dueling with Balian, he had used this title to mock Balian severely, and now it came out of Balian's mouth,
That's really making a mockery of yourself, and it's really uncomfortable.
Viscount Raul understood what was going on when he saw Balian's allusions to the past. In fact, Balian's meaning was very clear, that is, I don't trust you father and son. After all, the two parties were too unhappy before.
If it was normal for such a young baron to behave like this in front of him, Viscount Raul would definitely lift his butt and leave, but not today. After all, it is a fact that his son sent someone to assassinate him. Now they are not lowering their attitude, so let
If people become suspicious, they will be in big trouble.
"Baron Balian is a great hero who has defeated the Toba pirates three times in three battles. His mind is naturally as open as the sea. How can he still be as knowledgeable as a child? He was too ignorant before and offended me. I apologize to you on his behalf.
Good brother, please forgive me." Viscount Raul said sincerely, although in his heart he wanted to cut Balion into pieces.
Balian looked indifferent and responded: "Of course I don't care. After all, it's too childish to vent your anger on a child, don't you think so?"
When Sir Yellen heard this, he was almost furious. His father, Viscount Raul, called Balian a brother. Balian even got angry because he was not even old yet, yet he acted like an adult and used his words to criticize himself.
Be a little brat.
However, after Viscount Raul saw his son's reluctance, he ignored him and continued to smile and said to Balian: "I'm just saying, kill robbers and pirates in the north, kill them with ease.
You are a great hero, and you are not a narrow-minded person. I am also blind-sighted. Our two fiefdoms are so close to each other, so I should have gotten to know you sooner."
After Balian laughed with Viscount Raul for a while, he asked: "Brother Raul, what should I do if that kid takes it to heart?"
"Uh..." Viscount Raul was a little confused when he heard Balian's words. Why does the topic now involve his son? However, Balian's next words shocked the father and son from their chairs.
Jumped up.
"For example, this kid wanted to kill someone. Oh, not only did he think about it, but he also led a group of people to do it, but he failed. However, after his father found out about it, he came up with an idea to sow discord and asked me to
My brother who has a bad relationship is here to deal with me." Balian hit the back of the chair with his hand and said with a sneer.
When Viscount Raul and his son heard this, they stood up in fright. When they heard these words, they felt as if they had been poured cold water on them in the middle of winter. Their opponents were not only aware that they were responsible for the assassination.
What he did, even the father and son knew what they were conspiring in the study. This is too terrible.
Sir Yellen pointed at Balian with a trembling hand, and asked in horror: "You...you...how did you know? Are you...a human?"
"Hahaha!" Balian laughed, then stared at the father and son with burning eyes, and asked: "So, you admitted it!"
"Hi!" Viscount Raul sighed, and then looked at Balian with a puzzled face, "I don't know what means you used, and I know this information, but it is really a mistake for us, father and son, to choose to go against you.
.
Just now, my apology was sincere, and I also sincerely want to cooperate with you. Let's eliminate the misunderstanding and do something together, and I can share more of your profits."
"Misunderstanding? Is a misunderstanding enough? My brother was hit by several arrows and was still lying on the bed. I was also frightened half to death that day. Your misunderstanding is really easy!
I would like to ask Viscount Raul, if someone has such a big misunderstanding with you, are you still willing to believe him and cooperate with him?" Balian's tone of voice no longer gentle, but became aggressive.
Sir Yellen was completely frightened at this time. He stood there at a loss, while his father, Viscount Raul, had returned to calmness from shock. His face was very pale, his forehead was sweating, and he seemed really nervous.
"It's easy to have more friends, but it's difficult to have less enemies. Baron Balian, don't you want to gain my friendship? As long as you don't pursue this matter, I can do a lot of things for you. We will have great advantages in working together.
"." Viscount Raul's words contained threats and temptations of interest. Now he is also very conflicted. He neither wants to completely fall out with Balian nor wants to be blackmailed by Balian.
However, Balian had no intention of letting the father and son go. Balian took the sword handed over by Bran, pulled out the sword, and pointed it at the father and son. Seeing that the father and son had seen Balian take out the weapon, Balian
, so frightened that he could not stand still, Balian showed a contemptuous smile, "I am not afraid of multiple enemies. Anyway, I have offended many people, and one more is nothing!"
Viscount Raul was so frightened that he pointed his finger at Balian, "You...you...are you going to kill us here? This is the capital. If you dare to kill the palace viscount and his son, you yourself won't survive! You
...You have to think carefully and don't bring out the sword at every turn. We can discuss everything."
