Start as Inherited Baroness
Chapter 16: Encountering a Trap
Hearing this, Simon looked him up and down and asked, "Who is your Excellency?"
"I am Chad Rick, the housekeeper of Baron Gil of Changlinburg, and I have been ordered to invite you," he said respectfully.
Baron Gil's surname is Rick, and it seems that this housekeeper is also a member of their family.
After hearing this, Simon thought for a moment and said, "I'm sorry, please tell Baron Gill for me that I have to rush to Eagle City to receive the title, and I don't dare to delay for a moment.
After receiving the seal, I will pass by your place and I will definitely visit you. "
"This... is entrusted by Baron Gill, please be sure to show your respect..." Chad said forcefully with a slightly tight expression on his face.
Simon felt vigilant in his heart. How could he be so eager to invite someone to his house?
He and Baron Gill have never met before and are not familiar with each other at all. There is clearly something going on.
"Then please wait a moment and I'll ask my fiancée for her opinion."
Simon didn't want to fall out with them in Changlin Town, so he had to resort to a delaying tactic.
"Okay, let's wait for the good news." Chad said, then bowed and went downstairs.
"Hurry up and wash it. It will be finished within thirty minutes." Simon immediately ordered to Airei beside him.
"Yes!" He responded and immediately went to greet him.
At this time, half of the soldiers had washed up, and Sarit was also among the first batch. At this time, he took over the escort work.
Simon waited patiently for a while, and within half an hour, the other half of the people also walked out of the room.
Soon, they put on their armor and changed into new clothes.
"Let's go, leave this place immediately." Simon said.
The group of people left the Changlin Hotel and found Chad still waiting outside the door. When they saw them coming out, they immediately greeted them.
"Sir Chad, my fiancée and the cavalry are outside the town. Please come with me."
Simon invited, and there were two more teams of guards on the street, plus the team that came before, there were three teams in total, one team had twelve people.
Two of the teams were wearing iron-clad leather armor, holding broad-bladed iron swords and iron-clad wooden shields.
The other team wore iron armor with a single layer of chain armor for full body protection, and held spears and small bucklers.
"Sir Simon! No need, I'll just wait for you here." Chad looked at Airey and others and smiled.
Simon nodded, and then walked out of the town under the escort of his personal guards. Of course, it was impossible to leave the horse behind, so there was no need to ask someone to hold it.
After all, this is not a game. Each soldier does not need to click personally, which is very worry-free.
Changlin Town is not big, so Simon walked calmly. He even ordered two thousand kilograms of barley from several shops on the way and asked them to deliver it outside the town.
Not long after, Simon and others walked out. At this time, he breathed a sigh of relief.
No matter what Baron Gill's purpose is, there is not much danger as long as he reaches the outside of the town.
An ordinary baron can only have one or two hundred elite soldiers and horses, and the rest are conscripted militiamen. They don't have much combat effectiveness and can only build up their momentum.
After waiting for a while, the owner of the shop drove several carriages to deliver the barley. Ma De went over to pay the money and bought the carriage and horse together.
At this time, Kyler and his party also walked out of the town. They bought a lot of supplies, including short-haired goats, white-haired chickens, and a lot of barley.
Enough for the entire team to consume for more than a month.
Simon found Carlyle and told him about Baron Gil's invitation to the castle.
"I feel that the butler's demeanor is not quite right. What do you think?" he asked.
"Lord Simon, you'd better not attend the noble banquet now, at least not until you and Winnis give birth to your first heir.
There are countless connections between these old nobles, and I can't see clearly the twists and turns.
Baron Gil probably has bad intentions, so let’s leave as soon as possible.
After being granted a title in Xiongying City, you can buy slaves and return to the Yongyi Territory immediately. Then you can concentrate on developing the territory and you will be safe.
Nobles only dared to use dirty methods to kill people. Poisoning, assassination, and bribery of robbers were their most common methods. "Kyle said.
As a businessman, he has a relatively clear understanding of the game of nobles.
However, although the fights between nobles were fierce, it was still taboo to send assassins to kill the lords.
Unless they are absolutely forced to do so, no one will use it, because once word gets out, there will be serious backlash, and the kingdom will inevitably impose severe punishments.
The surrounding nobles will also unite to suppress it.
Once upon a time, an earl in the south hired an assassin to assassinate his old rival, but the king was furious and reduced him to a baron.
In the following decades, under the joint strangulation of the surrounding nobles, the baron was not saved, and the family was completely destroyed.
"Okay, then let's leave immediately and send a message to the housekeeper.
You go find a guard guarding the door and ask him to inform Chad that I have something urgent and will come as a guest later. "Simon immediately ordered.
"Yes." Sarit responded and went to do it immediately.
When he came back again, the group mounted their horses and hit the road again.
After Butler Chad received the news, he was angry and annoyed. After thinking for a while, he had to go back to Baron Gil.
"Isn't he coming? Why can't you even do this?"
Baron Gill shouted with disgust.
"Lord Baron, that boy is now surrounded by many people, more than 40 soldiers are fully equipped, and he looks like a regular army.
We received the news too late, otherwise it would have been easier to add some ingredients to their meals. "Chad explained with a smile.
"This is a mission sent by Earl Anderson in a secret message, and we must go all out.
How many of them are there? "
Baron Gill asked in a deep voice. This man was tall and tall. Although he was not young and had gray hair on his temples, he was quite majestic and his eyes were bright.
"We have just found out that there are 267 people. We also saw the figure of the War Spear Mercenary Group, and their leader Kyler was also among them.
There are about seventy or eighty core mercenaries in the mercenary group. "Chad said respectfully, the number is not very accurate, but it's pretty close.
“Simon was just a freeman before, how could he have the money to hire such a large mercenary group?
This is not easy to handle. "Baron Gill sat on a chair, his brows furrowed into a frown.
Chad didn't say anything, just bowed his head humbly.
"In this case, you take a few people to catch up with him on horseback, tell him that I intend to marry my daughter to him, and ask him to come over and meet.
Don’t say this to anyone else, make sure only Simon knows about it. Baron Gil said this after being silent for a while.
"Yes!" Butler Chad immediately agreed, exited the room, and started to implement it.
Baron Gill paced back and forth in the room. After a while, he took out a piece of parchment, sat on the table and started writing with a quill.
After a while, it was written and arranged for the raven to be sent out. I don’t know where it was sent.
At this time, Simon was riding a tall horse and checking the page. He looked at all the characters in the team column and found that their loyalty had generally increased.
Basically it's 100%.
It seems that this operation can indeed win people's hearts.
Moreover, the wounded soldiers who had not been summoned before now no longer had any signs of injury, and all of them healed on their own.
Simon just started thinking about finding a place and a reason to release them.
However, after thinking about it for a while, I decided that if there were no accidents, I would call him out after he had been sealed and returned to the Valorous Territory.
After all, these soldiers have to consume food and pay, and there is no need for them now. We will talk about it later.
