I was beheaded in the Middle Ages for 20 years

Question Xu Siling, understand Xu Siling, and finally become Xu Siling.

As a loyal fan of Xu Siling, John skipped the first two stages and directly transformed himself into a foul-mouthed king, scolding Edward III so much that he squinted his eyes and had a headache as soon as he opened the letter.

There were many quarrels between England and France in the Middle Ages, but most of them were sarcastic. For example, Philip VI was particularly fond of making sarcastic remarks to Edward III, and kept teasing him to start another Crusade.

The quarrel between Xu Siling and the French nobles brought endless inspiration to John.

It turns out that writing a letter to curse someone can be so satisfying.

You have to know that John was influenced by the spirit of chivalry, so even if he was angry and wanted to curse someone, he would not curse so dirty.

Bonnet hadn't read the content of the letter, but he knew from John's expression that it was not a good thing.

Bonei didn't get too involved in this matter. Anyway, there was constant hatred between the two countries, which would require many wars to wash away. It was nothing surprising that Ning Jing cursed before the war.

The two most important people to John at the moment are Xu Siling and Bonnet.

The former set an example for John. As a perfect knight, Xu Siling broadened John's horizons to some extent, and even taught John by example that a knight can actually do more.

Not to mention that the two are good friends. Xu Siling's record of conquering two cities in ten days was so outstanding that John really wanted to fight with Xu Siling on the battlefield.

Bonnet was his good wife. When he was not the crown prince, she worked diligently and taught the children seriously. Even after becoming a duchess, she was not arrogant at all and was always humble and polite.

Now Bonnet is the Queen of France and still maintains this attitude.

He gave John advice, won over nobles, formulated national policies, etc.

More importantly, Bonnet did not fight for or take credit for anything. Instead, she gave all the credit to John and helped him establish his prestige.

Even if the queen took any action, she would send others to do it. She seldom appeared in person, but retreated behind the scenes to help John find the loopholes and fill in the gaps. When appropriate, if she saw John showing signs of losing control, she would reach out to stop him.

Fortunately, John listens to Bonnet very much. They have quarreled several times because of Xu Siling and Fei'er, but this does not affect their relationship.

John is too upright and doesn't think too much, but he is not stupid. It is because of his virtuous wife Bonnet that he, as a king, can handle many affairs so smoothly.

Deep down, John respected his queen Bonnet very much.

While dealing with the current affairs, Xu Siling sent a few things to John in Paris.

They are a set of fish-scale armor, Zhuge Crossbow, a monocular telescope and many interesting little items made by Ella.

John couldn't let go of the fish-scale armor as soon as he saw it. He had heard that Xu Siling's soldiers all wore this kind of armor, which was much more protective than the chain mail robe. Today he finally saw it.

Especially the fish scale breastplate is shining silvery and extremely beautiful and eye-catching.

According to the contents of Xu Siling's letter, he went to the outside venue, set up a wooden rack, and arranged the fish scale armor.

At a distance of twenty meters, he called out to his servants to take out the crossbow, draw the bow and arrow, and shoot at the fish-scale armor.

The arrow hit the breastplate hard, and unexpectedly, it looked as if the arrow had penetrated, but was immediately bounced off.

This scene surprised John.

Bonei, who had been hiding nearby, saw this and couldn't help but exclaimed.

She was dressed in gorgeous clothes and looked noble and kind.

"I know about the performance of the English longbow in the Battle of Crécy, but if I remember correctly, at close range, the crossbow's armor-piercing effect is better than that of the English longbow."

"That's right. I didn't expect Xu's new armor to be able to block crossbow fire at a distance of 20 meters."

Bonnet came to the wooden stake, looked at the fish-scale breastplate, and could not help but stroke it gently.

One piece of armor was broken off by the arrow, and two others were dented. Bonnet frowned with regret.

"How could you shoot it? I gave it to you. You should keep it well, husband. What a good armor."

John chuckled, walked over to Bonnet, and took out a few pieces of fish scales as if by magic.

"This is?"

"The magical thing about this armor is that it is tied together with laces using special craftsmanship. If part of the armor is broken, you can replace it with a new one and then tie it up again. It's not like a chain mail robe that needs to be repaired if it breaks. If this armor is partially damaged, you only need to replace the armor."

"So convenient." Bonnet exclaimed.

"Take a look at these two again."

John took out the Zhuge Crossbow, and under Bonnet's stunned gaze, he filled the quiver with arrows, randomly aimed at the empty spots and repeatedly pulled the trigger, and the arrows flew out with a whoosh.

The rapid firepower stunned Bonnet.

"Unfortunately, it is not very useful on the battlefield, but it is useful when defending a city. The arrow has no feathers and cannot fly far. It has basically no killing power beyond twenty meters."

John picked up the monocular telescope and started playing with it. The more he looked at it, the more he liked it. When he had enough fun, he gave it to Bonnet.

There is no difficulty in making a monocular telescope. The only difficulty is the mirror.

Fortunately, Ella is dexterous, and although she is unfamiliar with the craft of polishing mirrors, it does not affect her finished product.

Bonnet held the telescope and looked around.

“Oh my god, this stuff is fun.”

"Not only is it fun, it can also be used to gather military intelligence on the battlefield."

Bonnet put away the telescope and looked at John carefully.

"Does that mean Xu only gave you one set?"

John was surprised: "What's wrong?"

"The new armor is so good, you should ask Xu to give you a few more sets. If not, you can buy them from him and use them in the war. Or your husband can talk to Xu about the manufacturing process of the new armor. Of course, we are not taking advantage of him for nothing. There will be rewards and money for him."

"Xu Zaixin said that this new armor is for my temporary use, and better armor will appear soon."

Bonnet was surprised: "He is still developing newer armor?"

"Maybe, but Xu won't lie to me. You see, he always thinks of me when he has something good." John sighed, "Look at you again, you're using Xu and Raya as pawns."

"This is all for you. Don't underestimate Xu. He took advantage of this fallacy to capture two cities and helped Raya take over two new cities. Raya has four territories under his direct jurisdiction, and you can't collect any taxes from them."

"Are you worried about Raya?"

Bonnet remained silent, and with a look he directed the servants around him to leave, before he opened his mouth.

"We must be on guard against others. As a saint, Raya has always supported the Valois family. Even if she was dissatisfied with the late king, she had no complaints. Xu is different. He is arrogant and it seems that all the nobles in the kingdom are his enemies. In the final analysis, it is because the nobles are afraid of Raya, and they are even more afraid of him."

"You think I should be afraid of her?"

Bonnet shook his head. "Every time Raya does something, it's hard for us to predict, including what happened in Alston Town and Delamisburg. Would anyone, including you, do such a thing under those circumstances?"

"No." John answered bluntly.

"Be careful with people and things you can't figure out, husband."

"But Xu is our friend, he is very good to us, so we should also be good to him."

"I know, I know everything."

Bonai was ready to change his story: "I remember Xu was the same age as you."

"Yes, I am two months older than him."

"Let me say hypothetically, if you and Xu both go to heaven to meet the Lord, do you think Charlie can suppress Raya?"

John was stunned.

"Charles is our most intelligent child. If I were still alive at that time, I would be able to help him solve his problems, control the nobles, and suppress the church."

"But husband, if you let Charlie and I control Raya, do you think we can do it? Raya has just come of age and is only one year older than Charlie."

"It's a good thing that you and Xu are friends. Xu has helped us a lot, both openly and secretly. We will certainly remember it."

"Even if you die before Xu, Xu is still Charlie's teacher. As long as Xu is here, Raya may not have any thoughts, and it is difficult for her to have any thoughts. But if you are all gone, who can suppress the uncontrollable Saint Raya?" "The Holy Church? The nobility? Or the royal family?"

Bonet shook his head: "It's impossible. So husband, you have to be careful with Xu, because behind Xu is Raya."

John had long understood that the biggest warlord in the central part of the kingdom was Raya.

With the characteristic of not having to pay taxes, Philippine made major changes to local tax policies, adjusted welfare, improved people's lives, attracted countless people to relocate, and the population of the four directly-administered areas skyrocketed.

The concession in tax revenue did not have much impact on Mayfair's financial situation.

On the contrary, this behavior also indirectly increases the fiscal taxation of the four directly-administered regions.

As long as she is given a little more time, Fei'er can mobilize nearly three thousand soldiers to participate in the battle, not to mention the guard reserve troops. These are just her personal soldiers, not to mention other nobles in Earl Raya's territory, let alone Xu Siling's soldiers.

In a way, Fei'er is scary. As long as she wants, she can capture any territory in her earldom.

But the problem is that Fei'er's thoughts, including Xu Siling's thoughts, are unpredictable.

Maybe one day Fei'er will change her mind and decide that she doesn't want to be a saint anymore. The Lord wants her to be the king and rebel directly. What should John do then?
Although the probability is extremely low, considering that John will die one day, Xu will die as well.

Fei'er is still young. At her age, as long as she grows up peacefully, when he and Xu leave, no one in the kingdom will be able to check and balance Fei'er.

"So what do you want me to do?"

Bonnet sighed, rubbed his brows, and suddenly felt a headache: "Perhaps it's too early to say these things. The war with England is imminent, and it's easy to affect my mood. But I'm always afraid that the swords on the battlefield are blind. If something happens to you, what will happen to Charlie and me?"

John immediately laughed. After saying so much, it turns out you were waiting for me here.

"You want to persuade me to be the commander-in-chief myself, instead of letting Boggs be the commander-in-chief, right?"

Bonnet was too lazy to pretend: "Of course, who knows what stupid things you will do when you go to the battlefield. Husband, the battlefield does not need a knight like you. You are the king now. Unless it is necessary, just sit back and command."

"Ha!" John laughed angrily, "Edward III and his Black Prince even went to attack and plunder cities together. How could I be worse than them?"

"husband."

"Shut up, don't talk about this anymore! It's an agreement between me and the nobles that Boggs will be the commander-in-chief, and you are not allowed to discuss it anymore!"

Seeing that he couldn't persuade her, Bonei had to let it go for the time being.

No one was more worried about John than Bonnet.

Charlie was still young, the country was about to go to war, and John had an accident on the battlefield, which she and Charlie could not support.

Even if you want to have fun, at least wait until Charlie grows up.

John thought of something: "Bone, Xu also said in the letter that he would set out north from Raya Town in half a month."

Bonnet was stunned: "He's coming to Paris?"

"It should be said that he wanted to get closer to Calais and get in touch with the mercenaries and the battle lines in England. Of course, the above words are my personal understanding. The original words in the letter were that he wanted to go north to see the sea."

"What are your plans?"

John grinned, "With him, of course."

Seven days later.

In the southern part of Earl Raya's territory, in the town of Tels, in the mountains and forests.

The messy bandit camp was littered with corpses and heads.

A bandit was shot in the chest and leaned against a tree with a vague look in his eyes.

His vague eyes were fixed on the man in front of him, wearing a full set of leather armor.

The man had black hair and brown eyes, and was coming towards him with a two-handed sword that was dripping with blood.

The man's expression was solemn and indifferent, and looking at him was as if he were a dead person.

Water adjustment cutting head.

The robber's head flew out gracefully without any hesitation.

Xu Siling looked around with his two-handed sword in hand, and seeing that the bandit camp had been cleared out, he whistled.

Three figures appeared not far away.

They are Charlie, Luo Shui and Wally.

Among the three, the youngest is Vali, who is ten years old, while Charlie is eleven and Luo Shui is thirteen.

This time, when they went out to suppress the bandits, Xu Siling, as per his custom, brought along two apprentices to be in charge of cleaning up the battlefield.

Charlie wanted to follow, and Xu Siling thought it was no problem, so he agreed.

The four of them set out from Raya Town and headed south. They took the small roads instead of the main roads. They asked for information from people they met, and when they knew where the bandits were, they would go and clear them out with swords.

In order to ensure the beheading rate, Xu Siling would take out the short bow first, sneak attack the bandits in the camp, make them lose their combat effectiveness, and then behead them one by one.

In this way, they fought their way to the south of the Earldom, clearing out many camps and gaining a lot of spoils.

Luo Shui and Vali became more and more skilled at cleaning the battlefield.

Charlie leaned in and pursed his lips to complain: “Teacher, didn’t you say you would leave a robber for the three of us?”

"I forgot. I'll definitely do it next time."

Seeing that Xu Siling seemed to be in a daze and thinking about something, Charlie stopped disturbing her. As the crown prince, he accompanied Luo Shui and Wali to clean up the battlefield.

Looking at her personal window, Xu Siling couldn't help but sigh.

The increase in sword fighting proficiency is not much.

Xu Siling knew that many things were adulterated and watered down.

But I didn't expect that the robbers were so cunning.

Because of the Black Death, many people became bandits.

These robbers who decided to become bandits on a whim were just farmers in the countryside. Although they had training, they were no match for the men in the town.

As for sword fighting, even if you cut off someone's head, you won't get any benefit.

Today is still a day that I miss Hamis.

Fortunately, thanks to the hard work of killing people and the unused skill proficiency in sword fighting, promotion to the next level is just around the corner.

This is the only thing that makes Xu Siling happy.

As long as the sword fight advances to the next level, he will immediately return home and prepare to head north.

Explore the situation near the Calais Fortress and chop off the heads of the British mercenaries.

These British dogs are all skilled archers.

Their heads must be nice to chop off, right? (End of this chapter)
