Chapter 165 Local Trivia
"Congratulations, Mr. Rostislav, it seems that you are still superior."

Just a minute after Rostislav stopped, the other two riders arrived, and Edward Wessex immediately congratulated the prince.

"Edward, you are hiding your clumsiness again. You are deliberately not using the war horse you often ride. You have really worked hard to let me."

Rostislav did not hesitate to poke the Englishman's clumsiness.

And Edward, who was punctured, didn't have any embarrassment on his face, just showing the smile that the prince was familiar with, like a fox laughing, and this was the smile that the prince was familiar with.

"That's right."

said the prince, looking at the Hungarian-raised Wessex heir.

Edward grew up in Hungary, a country that still has a strong nomadic atmosphere. How could his riding skills be poor? Many riders there can still control their horses with only their legs.

And the prince is very sure that the one in front of him will have that kind of skill. After all, he can use an unfamiliar horse to run as well as him, the prince on horseback, which shows the strength of riding skills.

"And I'm really bad at riding, my lords."

Yang said helplessly, he tried his best to barely follow behind these two, but it turned out that some people were really hiding their clumsiness, which was a big blow to him.

Fortunately, Yang has long been used to this. After all, he learned a lot of things after being in contact with Rostislav. He has long realized his shortcomings. Compared with these two nobles who practiced riding since childhood, he is Really not enough to watch.

"Yang, don't be too discouraged. Your riding skills are already very good. There are not many people in Northeast Ross who can compare with you."

Edward comforted from the side, and what he said was not false. In the Northeast Ross, there are few people with better riding skills than Yang.

These two came to visit Rostislav from their respective residences today, and they were summoned by Rostislav when they came to the outskirts of Moscow, and then they came to the current horse race.

"Okay, don't talk there, come and have a drink."

Rostislav got off his horse very quickly, walked to the side of the racetrack, picked up a cup full of kvass and poured it into his mouth, while the other two followed behind with a smile.

Originally, beverages like kvass were not what princes should drink. They were substitutes made by the middle and lower classes to cope with the shortage of beer, but the prince liked the feeling of kvass very much.

And the kvass just taken out of the cellar is ice-cold, very refreshing to drink, very suitable for hot summer.

In addition, this kvass is not the kind of high-end goods outside, but a fine product that has been refined and added with honey. Even the bread used for fermentation is special white bread, which is completely enough for the status of a prince, and it will not drop in price even if it is taken to a banquet.

For Rostislav, the taste of this kvass is very close to that of later generations, which makes him even more fascinated by this kvass, and he usually fills his kettle with it when he travels.

"You are such a good thing, Rostislav. I really didn't see it. I thought it was an ordinary Kvass."

Edward tasted the extraordinaryness of this kvass in just one sip, and said with some surprise.

"It's just a small improvement. If you like it, you can take a lot. By the way, where is my aunt? Why didn't she come this time?"

Rostislav expressed his generosity very generously, which was nothing to him anyway, and asked about his aunt.

"Her, there must be no one in the territory."

Speaking of the territory, Edward, who always smiled like a fox, also collapsed, because it really gave him a headache.

"Any questions?"

Rostislav asked subconsciously, with a strong sense of concern in his tone. Edward is his relative, the one who needs great assistance, and the one who can become his strong support in the future.

The Prince of Moscow has always provided a lot of support to his two relatives, and he really wants these two to secure a stable position in the territory.

"My side is okay, the main reason is that I have to be busy chatting with those farmers every day. It takes a lot of talking to get them to pay taxes and fulfill their obligations. Sometimes I have to kill a few people with soldiers, which is a headache. But compared to Excuse me, the Polish boy next door to me is a firefighter every day, he is not as patient as I am, so he just took his knights to burn the village, and the farmers who burn a few villages will be much more honest."

Hearing Edward's words, the prince couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief. Fortunately, he only complained about the trouble of managing the territory. He thought it was because of the unstable rule, and that would be troublesome.

Looking at the current situation, there is no problem with Edward, but the boy Myshko has a big problem. Rostislav is thinking about whether to send some people there, and then he will go to persuade the boy. Blind violence and suppression are impossible. get peaceful.

But that was later, and now Rostislav looked at the other.

"Jan, is there any problem with Suzdal? Do those people still obey you?"

The prince of Moscow is very concerned about the situation in Suzdal, which is the most independent area in Northeast Russia.

Moreover, the alias of the Northeast Ross is most appropriate for Suzdal, even in the Northeast Ross, Suzdal is also the "Queen of the Forest".

In the war of the Bulgarian invasion, Suzdal had a big traitor. Although the territory and property of the traitor Olaf had been divided up, the prince was still worried.

If it weren't for this, he wouldn't have sent his personal leader to sit there.

"It's still safe. Olaf's property has fed the rich and powerful in Suzdal, and they don't have the mind to make trouble. In addition, Vasily's family has helped me a lot. If it weren't for them, I wouldn't be able to take over all of this so quickly. "

Jan explained everything in an orderly manner, and Veshata taught his son all kinds of administrative knowledge, which is why Jan didn't complain after going to Suzdal.

"Also I suggest that Vasily take over my position, I am the mayor of Suzdal now, I can't stay by your side for long, Vasily is a good young man, and we can tie Hronsky to death like this On our warship."

"Well, I'll consider it."

Rostislav was already thinking about what Jan had said. Vasili was indeed a loyal knight, and the prince remembered that he would rather be taken as a prisoner by the Bulgars than surrender.

And just as the words fell, a rider ran in. The man looked very nervous, which made the prince of Moscow stand up subconsciously, and the news he brought made the prince's heart tense.

"Lord Rostislav, your wife is in labor."
