king of ros

Chapter 85

The new Grand Duke of Kyiv wanted to see his nephew, and no one dared to stop him here. The servant hurriedly reported the news to the prince, while Leo and Gevalan received the Grand Duke into the red house. They did this to delay a little time and get more reactions for their master. time.

Izyaslav had obviously noticed the delay of the two, but he didn't say anything, he just smiled gently and chatted casually with the two, which made the two even more flustered.

In the red house, the new prince who was calculating the cost of wealth with Zooey heard his uncle coming, he just sighed, he will come back sooner or later.

After giving Zoe a gesture of nothing to worry about, Rostislav left the table full of various data and went to face his uncle.

Rostislav was not worried about what he had done. After all, it was only natural for free people to defect to princes, even if these people once belonged to the Grand Duke of Kyiv. What should he worry about?

Of course, this is true from the point of view of the law, but the actual operation is a completely different matter. If the uncle wants to ask the teacher to punish him, he has no choice but to accept it.

But let’s ask the teacher to ask the crime. Anyway, I am going to the desolate place in Northeast Ross soon, and it doesn’t matter what my relationship with Kyiv is.

And so, in the hall, Rostislav met his uncle, Izyaslav Yaroslavitch.

As soon as they met, Rostislav felt great pressure. Although he thought he was not afraid, but facing the new powerful man in Kyiv, the new grand duke of all Rus, who was being harmed by him, fear still surged up. heart.

Quickly adjusted his emotions and put his expression on his face, Rostislav sat next to the uncle and looked at the Grand Duke of Kyiv, but to Rostislav's surprise, the Grand Duke who thought he was here to ask the teacher for his crimes is now happy Yes, facing Rostislav very mildly.

This made Prince Rostov a little confused, but he couldn't show it. No way, Rostislav had no choice but to salute his uncle first.

"Grand Duke."

"There's no need to be so pretentious, Rostislav, we are all relatives, aren't we? You can just call me uncle here."

Izyaslav's answer was very gentle, and his words were full of the elders' concern for the younger generation, but Rostislav had a ghost in his heart after all. He felt that the uncle in front of him was setting him up, so he didn't dare to relax. Stretched like a spring.

"You child, don't be so cautious. We know what you think, and we also know what you did in private. Don't treat us as fools."

Seeing this, the uncle shook his head, and directly said the words that made Rostislav feel the siren in his heart. Did the uncles know what this meant?
Of course, he thought so in his heart, but there could be no reaction on his face, so Rostislav replied:
"What are you talking about? I don't understand."

"The purge of our bad uncles, and the news that nomads may invade, well, stop pretending, you kid is not only capable of fighting, but also so narrow-minded, really."

Finally, the uncle's expression became unhappy, and he directly pointed out Rostislav's arrangement.

"Do you think you've done it very carefully? You are the only one who benefits from those rumors. If we still can't see it, then we don't want to be princes, just retire and live for the rest of our lives."

Since the uncle has made everything so clear, Rostislav no longer hides it, and there is no way to hide it. Instead of pretending to be stupid, let's face it directly.

In fact, he didn't intend to hide it for a long time, and he also knew that these things could not be hidden from his uncles. After all, anyone can understand the logical relationship in it, but he didn't expect that the uncle, who was dull and mediocre in his eyes, was the first one. I came to the door.

Rostislav lowered his head, ready to be questioned and scolded, no matter how the uncle scolded him, he would do it.

And the uncle's reaction seemed to be a bit of a joke. He was busy with all kinds of trivial matters of succession and the separation of legal relations, and at the same time he had been running around for this nephew for so long, but he was like this. The uncle said half angrily and half speechlessly:

"Look at your reaction! Do you think we are going to do something to our nephew who wants to earn a fortune for himself? What are you thinking?"

At this moment, Rostislav finally felt the concern and affection in the uncle's words. Prince Rostov raised his head in confusion, his face was full of doubts.

"I know that Northeast Ross is a difficult place. I know that you have nothing to rely on when you go there, so I don't blame you for recruiting people in Kyiv, but can you tell me? When the time comes, I will directly let you go on St. Sophia Square. Your people set up a platform to recruit people, not like this now, I feel blocked when I see the queue at your door."

Following the uncle's words, Rostislav became more and more surprised. He never expected that a new Grand Duke of Kyiv, known for being mediocre and stingy, would actually come to tell him this.

And the uncle's words did not stop, I saw him continue to say:
"And I discussed with your other two uncles. I will give 2000 slaves and qinong, your second uncle will give 1500, and your third uncle will give 1000. These populations are all for you, allowing you to develop industries in Northeast Ross. There is also food, we have prepared enough for you for tens of thousands of people to last for half a year, enough for you to take these people to Northeast Ross."

If it is said that those Rostislavs in the past were unexpected, but now he is completely surprised. He never thought that not only did the uncle not ask the teacher to ask the crime, but he offered to provide conditions for him to find someone, and he also offered to send him the population. !
"Uncle... why did you do this?"

Rostislav couldn't help asking this question.

"Why? Because we are blood relatives, because my father told me to take care of all my brothers and my brothers' children before he died, and that's why."

The uncle used a natural tone. He is now the head of the Rurik family. In his opinion, this is a matter of course. There is no reason, it should be done.

Rostislav's appointment as Rostov was actually to develop Northeast Rus, so he should pull his brothers to help him, let him, Prince Rurik, take root in that land, and make it the real territory of the family.

"Yes, thank you very much, uncle."

Rostislav was silent for a while, and finally just said this sentence. He used to be so wary of his uncle, but now the person he was most wary of sent to him as an urgent support. This is really... speechless .

"Okay, don't thank me for anything, this is what I should, you rule over there, the land is extremely barbaric, and you have suffered a lot, if there is any problem, remember to send someone to inform us, don't worry about it. Be stupid and carry it yourself."

"Yes."

In the end, Rostislav only uttered this sentence, and he could only utter this sentence, because nothing else fit.
