All the clues have been cut off and nothing can be found.
But what pleased Rostislav was that from time to time he could see heavily armed patrolling soldiers on the street, inspecting all possible troublemakers.
There were also soldiers checking pedestrians at every city gate, mainly to check whether anyone was carrying large amounts of tinder.
Now no matter what the pagans want to do, they will encounter obstacles much higher than before.
Perhaps because of the sudden increase in vigilance, even the pagan rituals that were openly performed under the city wall are no longer there, and the pagan sacrifices have not been much active.
The Hungarian priests are very happy. This is the scene they have always wanted to see, without the hypocrisy of those pagans who perform profane rituals and worship under God's sacred temple.
But that was all. The Prince of Moscow knew very well that the cessation of pagan activities was only temporary. They were just lurking now, waiting for the opportunity to rise up.
All Rostislav could do was to have good subordinates and be ready to enter the city and quell the chaos at all times. This was not the kind of preparation for deterrence, but the serious preparation for fighting.
However, Rostislav could only wait and wait for troops to be sent to quell the rebellion. The prince of Moscow believed that it would be sooner or later for them to cause rebellion.
But even though he was waiting, he also found something to do for himself to pass the waiting time, which was to find out how the meeting went (noisy).
During the past few days when Rostislav was seriously investigating, their quarrel continued in the palace of Fekhshvar, and the quarrel was endless.
The core of their discussion and game was whether Andrew's wife and children could obtain territory in Hungary.
In any case, as members of the Arpad family, even if they were usurped from the throne, Solomon and his brother had the right to obtain a piece of land in Hungary. This was their birthright.
There is not much land they require to legally reserve, which is the Hungarian border territory that is still under their control. Russia and the empire both support this.
The uncles wanted their sisters and nephews to own the land, so they naturally sided with their relatives on this point.
The empire does not want their many years of operations in Hungary to be destroyed in one day. The decades-long intervention that began with Henry III cannot be destroyed in one day. In any case, it is always a good thing to leave a few nails in Hungary.
Bella naturally cannot agree to this. By agreeing to this, he is causing trouble for himself by letting his brother, wife and children who were killed by him still stay on the border? Wouldn't that be allowing them to accumulate strength for rebellion, and those dissatisfied waiting nobles will definitely
As Solomon grew up he colluded with them.
So Bela directly demanded that his brother's wife and children must get out of Hungary. As for compensation or something, that was impossible, and why it was impossible, just because he was the winner, and this was the privilege of the winner.
The King of Poland watched everything leisurely from the sidelines. Anyway, they did not need to intervene in specific affairs and had nothing to do with him.
So the two sides were in a stalemate, and everyone refused to give in to each other. They would criticize each other in meetings every day, or find scholars with long beards to read old books to support themselves.
But in the end, nothing was achieved.
Rostislav could also see what was going on. Both sides were asking for prices, but they were just asking for money.
However, because the commotion seems to be really heated, no one is willing to give up, which leads to the current embarrassing situation.
It's obvious that at first the two sides just planned to have a little fuss, but now they've reached a stalemate, and the parliament can't move forward now. Everyone can only wait and see who can't hold it in first.
It can only be said that there is still noisy over there. It seems that Rostislav will not be subdued for a week or two or something. Or he is a little worried that these elders will start fighting while chatting. If they start fighting,
That was so scary.
But on the other hand, this was fine. He asked them to stop arguing during the meeting and continued to investigate the case. After the meeting, he had to attend a series of complicated ceremonies, and he couldn't do anything by then.
Rostislav, who had no clue, did not expect that the clue he had been waiting for would soon come to him.
————————
That day, Rostislav was looking over and over again at the logic diagram of events and characters he had compiled in the camp, and just when he was in distress about it again, someone suddenly broke into his tent.
"Master Rostislav, Master Rostislav, we finally found the clue! We found the place where the pagans store kindling."
The man who hurriedly broke in was none other than Mieszko. The Polish nobleman had a look of joy on his face.
In the past few days, they had been cooperating with Rostislav's investigation, but it was a pity that their efforts were in vain. They worked hard but got nothing. Now that they finally found something useful, they were freed from the complicated work and were naturally happy.
"What? Where?"
This made Rostislav jump up immediately. During this period, he had been waiting hard for new clues. Unexpectedly, there was news of the discovery of the tinder warehouse. This was really a blessing from heaven.
"It's in the city. Do you want me to take you there right away?"
Is there any need to ask for this answer? Of course Rostislav has said it, he has been waiting for this moment for a long time.
————————
When Rostislav arrived at his destination, he suddenly found that he was already late. The place where Meshko took them was already crowded with soldiers wearing red robes.
Their destination was an old warehouse, which had been built with wood by a businessman. However, with the bankruptcy of the businessman, no one cared about it. Meshko said that he had heard that it had been abandoned for about several decades.
Now the door of the warehouse has been destroyed. The rotten door has turned into a pile of broken wood and fallen there. Soldiers are still moving corpses out from inside. There are almost dozens of corpses piled up.
These corpses were all dressed as civilians, holding a mess of weapons in their hands and without any heavy equipment.
These naturally attracted the attention of many people, but they were all blocked by spears and could only look at them in front of the soldiers, discussing what was going on and making various guesses and inferences.
Although this is a time when death is common, it is still rare for so many people to die in peacetime, which naturally arouses people's curiosity.
Looking at so many soldiers in front of him, Rostislav felt something bad in his heart. This might not have attracted most of the guards in the city. In comparison, he only brought dozens of personal followers.
After placing his men in place, the Prince of Moscow walked straight in. Due to Rostislav's activity in recent days, the soldiers naturally knew him, so no one stopped him.
As soon as he crossed the threshold that had been tempered by time, Rostislav smelled the smell of grease. The smell was so strong that he couldn't help but cover his mouth and nose subconsciously.
Everything he saw surprised him, and after the surprise he felt relieved that he finally found these things.
I saw that the warehouse was filled with various earthen jars, and it was obvious what kind of liquid the jars were filled with. Next to these jars were firewood that was soaked with grease.
Although he had some idea of the amount of grease stored by the pagans, Rostislav still felt that it was an exaggeration to see it intuitively. The number of fire starters they had collected during this period was really quite a lot.
There are passages between these fire starters, and Magyar soldiers are now walking around in them, either carrying corpses or recording and counting the number of oil tanks.
Nothing makes people feel more relaxed than this scene, and after heaving a sigh of relief, Rostislav pulled a soldier and asked him what happened and how he discovered all this.
The soldier obviously didn't know anything, and the prince's Magyar was not very proficient, so the man looked extremely embarrassed in front of the prince.
Fortunately, Magyar, who was commanding the operation, saw the Prince of Moscow not long after, and immediately rushed forward to explain to the Prince.
