king of ros

Chapter 118

Although the flames of war have been ignited, for many people, the war has little impact on their lives, and some people even know that they can stay out of it.

So they turned a blind eye to the war, and even engaged in a series of small actions behind the scenes, but the problem is that their small actions are not as hidden as they thought...

"How can a cross-necked swan fly alone?

Jiangqin on behalf of the language, who is sincerely with?

But who can mend a broken heart?
Put your heart into the wind and blow Cui Wei away.

The gray fog in the dense forest did not give up.

Lovesickness does not leave sadness everywhere. "

Domna plucked his lute, and sang some sad poems. While he was chanting, the little black cat poked its head out of the pocket on his waist from time to time, but he pushed it back.

And the people who were about to march for a long time really needed a little singing to soothe their tiredness, and everyone was fascinated by it. He played his poems before the start of the march all the way to relieve everyone's fatigue.

"Okay, very good, I really deserve to be a poet who was once used by the Grand Duke. This poem is indeed very good."

Yang commented on the side, although he doesn't like things like music culture, but after following Rostislav, he still has some ability to identify cultural works, which can be regarded as appreciable.

"Thank you very much, my lord."

Although Domhnall spoke humbly, everyone could hear the complacency and arrogance in his words, which made his companions a little worried. This guy will never know how to be humble when facing the powerful, even if it is this personality pit. It's happened to him several times.

But Yang obviously didn't care about these things. He just said that if he had the opportunity in the future, he would recommend him to be a poet in the prince's court, and then he boarded the horse.

But the Gaels looked at the horses with a bitter look on their faces. The Gaels headed by Domhnall were also distributed with horses after joining the team. Although the Gaelic warriors from the highlands were proficient in battlefield skills, they were not good at riding horses. good at.

Although marching on horseback was not a difficult task, it still tossed them enough.

"The next step is to enter the enemy's territory. The battle may start at any time, so be prepared."

Yang turned his horse's head and said to everyone, his face was so serious that even Domhnall, who was still joking just now, restrained the expression on his face.

After a few days of traveling together, Domhnall also knows what the goal of this team is.

is a traitor.

Today's Northeast Ross, even those who are not optimistic about the princes of Moscow, rarely choose to take refuge in the Bulgars. Standing on the sidelines is the safest way.

But there are always speculators, and Olaf, the most conspicuous among them, who is still jumping up and down, is the target of their trip.

This Olaf family has a long history in Northeast Ross. The first generation of ancestors was a close friend of Grand Duke Oleg. The descendants made great achievements in the expansion of Ross and maintained their superior status.

In the generation of his great-grandfather, the family was given to some villages in the Suzdal area by the Grand Duke Ross, and became the walled masters of one side.

This family quickly took root in the local area and expanded its power in an orderly manner. Every time the princes of Rurik competed for the throne, they were always on the right side. Therefore, their family's industry continued to develop and did not end due to political changes. They even returned to the city. Participating in urban commerce as a village owner, he has now become a powerful land business tycoon in Northeast Ross.

Now the head of this family is Olaf. Like many Ross nobles, Olaf accepted bribes from the Bulgars, but he did not choose to sit on the sidelines. Instead, he planned to use this opportunity to backstab Rostislav. political resources.

Yes, Rostislav knew all about the small things he had done without telling the nobles. Thanks to the Kurkanta family's defection, Rostislav thought he would be the most thorny existence, but he took the initiative to find him. Tell them everything they know.

As the former overlord of Northeast Ross, the Kurkanta family, even if it bowed to Rostislav, everyone still regarded him as the biggest princely opponent in Northeast Ross, and the Kurkanta family did not clearly reject those who approached, Gradually, they gathered enormous amounts of information about the opposition.

And then, the old Sarnia defied the crowd and gave all these things to Rostislav. Yes, Kurkanta also speculated, but the object of their speculation was Rostislav.

And because of this, Rostislav was able to know that there was such an ambitious person in Suzdal. In order to solve this person, Rostislav sent his most powerful confidant Jan to deal with this problem, and gave him a team of elites who could solve the problem.

After knowing all this, Domhnall knew that this is a good opportunity, a good opportunity to stand out, and if this opportunity is grasped well, it will be no problem to become a nobleman.

When Domhnall was thinking about a bright future, he suddenly saw a row of hanged corpses on the side of the road. Crows flocked to the dead and devoured their flesh and blood. And scattered.

Jan didn't even look at these scenes, he was used to seeing dead people, and Domhnall was a little dazed watching all this, but then he returned to normal.

After these days, he knew what happened to these corpses. They were the unlucky ones punished by Olaf. They were killed to deter the village community and force them to obey the rule.

Domhnall had been used to this for a long time. In those days in the Highlands, the Highland nobles could kill you for the ownership of a dilapidated tower or a few thin old cows, not to mention the relationship rule.

But then, they saw a fight.

Soldiers in armored suits advanced rapidly. With the soldiers wrapped in iron armor as the core, they rushed into the peasants ruthlessly to fight. Although the peasants who were not good at fighting had weapons, they couldn't fight against such an army at all. A massacre, the farmer can't fight these elite troops at all.

And what they saw when they stopped was the scene of the farmer being defeated.

"It's the nobles who have taken refuge in Olaf, and they are suppressing the peasants again."

Yang, who stopped his horse, watched this scene, thinking about the information he had learned

According to the known news, Olaf recruited many nobles and warriors who had newly arrived in Northeast Ross to join his ranks. In order to meet these people's needs for real estate, the suppression of farmers increased.

And their method of bringing the village into rule is very simple. A few heavily armed warriors go in and kill the leading villagers, of course, and the rest are naturally obedient.

As for the villagers daring to gather together to resist, that's great. He gathered so many people just to suppress it. How could farm tools fight against weapons.

Rostislav was clear about these things. He also knew that some nobles under his command were doing this, but he chose to ignore them. After all, he was the representative of the feudal lord.

But while this Olaf was doing this, he absorbed more people into his subordinates, and these people were supposed to be the power of the prince, and they planned to use this power to launch a rebellion, then Rostislav couldn't bear it.
