Chapter Ninety-Nine: At Sunrise
For the boring nobles, this matter is interesting, but for Feng Si, it is a bit uncomfortable.
Moreover, the words spoken by Duke Rockler were all wrong.
After sighing softly in his heart, he suppressed any explanation he could think of.
He also knew about Duke Totopina's illness just now. Now that the nobles are here, there is no need to explain the matter between him and Linta. It will be fine when time passes slowly.
Today's Duke Totopina Castle does not require too much attention, and the cultivation of heirs does not require too much intervention from others.
Silence is golden.
In this situation, Feng Si can only act as a mute, refusing to explain or acknowledge.
Once their curiosity has passed, the matter will be fine.
After all, Feng Si will not live in this place for a long time, and Totopina Linta will eventually become a duke and live in this land for the rest of her life.
If there is too much involvement, it is easy to hurt the fragile feelings of the child. This is the only way Feng Si can do.
Let him be the pillar of Linta's efforts first, and when she grows up, she should laugh it off when she recalls this ignorant relationship.
Inside the palace.
The king stretched out his arms and yawned, then waved everyone back.
"If everything is alright, gentlemen, please go back."
After saying this, the king sat for a while and then left from behind under the escort of the king's knights.
There were many hurried and slow hurrying in the palace, and the nobles who had just arrived this afternoon left one after another. They were hungry and tired after a long day's journey.
I just want to lie down on the soft mattress early.
Among the people leaving, a count was extremely excited. Although he was very tired, his eyes were very bright. This scene made Count Sibiyi look at him frequently.
"Count Marropic, did you take the wrong medicine tonight? Why are you so excited?"
However, Count Marropic's happiness was not felt by Count Sibye, just like the people on the bridge who don't know the happiness of the fish in the water.
You are not a fish, you know how happy fish is.
Seeing the nobles leaving one after another, Duke Rockler came to Feng Si and whispered something before leaving gracefully.
He left, but Feng Si was stunned.
Just because Duke Rockler's words were not long, only one sentence, made Feng Si unable to calm down and walked absentmindedly.
Until a gust of cold wind blew, Feng Si woke up. When he woke up, he happened to see Tang Shike standing in front.
Obviously, Tomshke has been waiting for a long time.
After seeing Feng Si come out, Tang Shike stepped forward and whispered:
"Mr. Scholar, what did Duke Rockler tell you?"
"I said some things that should be said but should not be said."
"Is that so? Then please keep it a secret, Mr. Scholar. Princess Linta doesn't know all of this."
"...I will."
"Thank you, Mr. Scholar, for your cooperation. I'll leave first, sweet dreams."
"Um."
Good dreams. Speaking of which, Feng Si has not had a dream for a long time, or he has never had a dream. He is a man who has lost his dreams.
Back in the room, Feng Si looked at the candlelight on the table and compared it with the moonlight outside the window.
"How can the light of fireflies compare to the brightness of the bright moon?"
When the night ends, dawn is the light of the world, but when the candlelight burns out, all that remains is darkness.
——
The next day, it was still dark.
The captain of the interception knight regained his strength after eating delicious meat.
Energized, he turned back and guarded the Earl Knight.
Interception, he is professional!
It was necessary to delay the time for the news to be conveyed back, so that he could safely hide in the territory of Count Sembildorf.
As for fleeing this country, the Captain of the Interception Knights has also thought about it, but he is no longer young and cannot support such a hopeless life abroad.
It would be better to finish all this properly and hide in the territory of Earl Senbidorf, at least this is the farthest place from the palace.
Even if the king's knight wants to send troops, he can know it in advance.
And in the forest.
After going through all kinds of hardships, the knight Count Marrobik has not yet come out of the woods. At this time, he is lying under a big tree.
Surrounded by scattered fruit cores, there are also some moist haystacks.
"There are still a few days, just keep holding on and it will be fine. I must take this news back."
Touching the bulging wild fruit in his arms, although the fruit was very sour and unpalatable, he did not eat more and kept the food.
After all, the road ahead was filled with endless dilapidated roads, food was scarce, and in order to avoid the Grand Duke Knight, one had to take a long detour.
Fortunately, the Earl Knight often does this kind of message delivery. Even if he loses the map, he can still find the Earl of Marrobik's territory by relying on his memory.
Living is the belief that the Earl Knight insists on at this time.
The other side.
On the road to the Grand Duke of Troxi.
Moni came to the dilapidated house where they had stayed. Today, he planned to take a rest. He didn't know why, but he felt tired after traveling for the past few days.
"I am such an incompetent knight."
I have obviously walked these roads before, but this time I was so tired.
Actually, this has something to do with the food that Moni eats.
A person with no experience in the wild can only find limited food. Even if he can find it, not everyone can remove the toxins in water and food.
So now Moni has accumulated a lot of toxins. If he gets treatment in time, he can still be saved.
The Duchy of Totopina, which can treat Moni, is not far away.
It only takes one day to arrive.
Inside the castle of Duke Totopina at this time.
Linta was sitting on the big mat seriously, carefully dealing with the problems of the new system in various places.
Some good feedback made Linta's frown relax slightly, but she was soon bothered by the following questions and frowned again.
Some people reported that the creation of departments from civilians always conflicted with certain responsibilities of knights.
Just like when maintaining the market, some outside vendors need to be routinely inspected, but these outside vendors have already been reviewed by the knights.
But it had to be inspected again when the transaction was made. This was not enough, because it was sold within the territory, and the knights came again.
The reason is to check whether dangerous items are carried to prevent threats to the lives of civilians in the territory.
The repetitive interweaving of these things not only increases the efficiency of operations, but also makes foreign traders miserable due to cumbersome procedures.
The goods have gone through numerous inspections before they are even started to be sold, and no one has compensated for the time spent. This has resulted in fewer and fewer vendors coming from inside and outside the territory.
The consequence of this is that the goods in the territory cannot be sold to the outside world, and the internal economy is like stagnant water, unable to circulate.
Opening up foreign trade was a major decision Linta made because Duke Totopina's health was getting worse day by day, so that she could see the prosperous Dukedom of Totopina as soon as possible.
Linta could only speed up the change process, but now it seemed that something was wrong.
well.
Linta, who was troubled by these things, stretched out her hand and kept pinching her eyebrows, looked in the direction of the king's palace and murmured:
"Feng Si, if you were here, there must be a way."
