Chapter 647: The Rodell family that lost contact!
Caelingen family, Eagle Castle, at the routine meeting,
Representatives of all major families had come.
Sitting on the chairs, many straightened their backs, because many of them had only regained control of their families after Zhang Cheng returned!
"Clatter!"
The gate was pushed open, and a young man wearing the black dragon crest of the Caelingen family appeared, the pressure immediately spreading all around.
Stepping in war boots, Zhang Cheng walked forward step by step and sat in the position above.
When he scanned the nobles below, he immediately frowned.
Because one person was still missing, which made him very unhappy; after all, this was already a slap in the face!
However, as My Lord Earl, Zhang Cheng still suppressed his anger: "Welcome everyone to Eagle Castle; I, as the heir of the Caelingen family, am very happy to meet with you all!"
"Cheers to the Earl!"
Hearing Zhang Cheng's words, everyone raised the wine glasses in their hands one after another.
And just then, the old butler Andrew hurriedly stepped forward: "The people we sent to contact the Rodell family have lost contact!"
Turning his head to look at Andrew, Zhang Cheng smiled: "Wait until the routine meeting is over before talking!"
Raising his wine glass, Zhang Cheng immediately said: "Our ancestors all fought together, which is why we are gathered here today. The flames of war ten years ago caused us all to lose contact, but now, I will let everyone pick up the glory of the past and lead everyone toward a more brilliant path. Cheers to the future!"
"Cheers to the future!"
Accompanied by Zhang Cheng's words, the nobles roared one after another.
And just as the delicious food was served, Zhang Cheng began to issue new regulations one after another.
Facing Zhang Cheng changing old rules as soon as he made a move, it immediately caused dissatisfaction among many nobles.
However, facing the conditions Zhang Cheng gave, they cheered one after another.
After all, as a boss, you can draw a pie, but you must let people eat it!
But Zhang Cheng was different; he never drew pies, but directly smashed money into their faces to speak!
Facing slaves that could be brought home for only one silver stag, and various tools that increased production, those nobles didn't just agree to change the rules; even changing their names would be fine!
After three rounds of drinking, more exciting programs appeared.
That was the exotic beauties from Braavos; this was the finale program Zhang Cheng had prepared.
After all, being a noble in the Middle Ages, you don't have to be sociable, but you must appear like one!
If you don't take it, I don't take it, how can My Lord Earl take it!
If you don't play, I don't play, how can the Duke play!
If you don't want it, I don't want it, how can the King want it!
Therefore, being in harmony with the dust is not a mistake, but a clear cognition.
People will betray everything, but they will never betray their own interests!
Those who travel through time and want to change all the rules, even as nobles, and want to liberate slaves, then he is not a person of destiny, he is a lunatic! He betrayed everything about himself!
Wang Mang in Chinese history was the most like a time traveler!
But even Wang Mang encountered the Great Archmage Liu Xiu!
Wang Mang: You might not believe it, but we were fighting, and meteors fell from the sky. Damn, forty thousand people, a winning hand, and it collapsed!
Liu Xiu:...
Looking at the banquet where everything was very harmonious, a smile appeared in Zhang Cheng's eyes.
He didn't like this kind of occasion, but he liked using the resources in his hands to bind allies!
Even if everyone didn't like him, they had to fight for the interests of their own families!
This was the reason why, even when Zhang Cheng stabbed his brother-in-law back then, those court officials had to stand behind Zhang Cheng.
Because at that time, whether Zhang Cheng ascended the throne or not was no longer up to him, but once investigated, everyone would have to go to the vegetable market to reminisce!
Ending the banquet, the drunken guests were helped to the guest rooms.
Zhang Cheng came before the city wall and looked at Andrew beside him: "What is the situation with the Rodell family?"
"We sent a raven two days ago, but there was no reply, and we sent a team of messengers, but they also lost contact!" Looking at Zhang Cheng, Andrew hurriedly explained.
And hearing this, Zhang Cheng's brow frowned tightly, appearing very puzzled.
Because according to the current rules, before the Frey family played the "Luo River Alliance," everyone shouldn't be doing this, right!
"Laifu!"
Whistling, Zhang Cheng shouted loudly.
Rushing out from the darkness in the distance, a huge shadow cat suddenly landed.
However, even with its huge body, Laifu did not make any sound, worthy of being a top predator.
Turning over to sit on Laifu's back, Zhang Cheng opened his mouth: "I'll go take a look; you help me take care of the guests, and I'll be back tomorrow morning!"
"Be careful, My Lord Earl!"
Watching Zhang Cheng head toward the Rodell family, Andrew became solemn.
"Rest assured, in this world, there is nothing that can kill me except dragons!"
Revealing a smile, Zhang Cheng opened his mouth.
"Go, Laifu!"
Petting Laifu's head, Zhang Cheng pointed forward.
"Clatter!"
Leaping down from the high city wall, Laifu ran wildly on the wall, then exerted force with its four limbs, directly leaping over the moat, and then disappeared into the night.
Galloping fast, Laifu's speed was much faster than a warhorse; if one really had to compare, in this world, besides dragons, no one could catch up to such a shadow cat!
And after galloping for three hours, Zhang Cheng gradually approached the territory of the Rodell family.
As a noble of the Caelingen family, the location of Rodell was near the Neck.
This was a very important location; after all, above the Neck was the Riverlands!
As a supporting faction, the relationship between the Rodell family and Caelingen was very good, which was why Zhang Cheng was annoyed that they didn't come.
After all, he didn't like superficial brothers!
【Note: Content omitted for brevity.】
Calling big brother long, calling big brother short, but when big brother has an accident, they don't care at all; that's what's damn!
But when they arrived at the Rodell family castle, Laifu, as a shadow cat, seemed to perceive some danger, and its fur began to stand on end, appearing somewhat afraid.
Leaping down, Zhang Cheng drew the Purple Star sword at his waist, a solemn expression appearing on his face.
Because in the Rodell castle, he smelled a strong scent of blood.
Walking forward, Zhang Cheng looked at the opened city gate and frowned.
Walking out two steps, on the ground was a severed thigh; identifying it by moonlight, Zhang Cheng revealed a ferocious grin.
Because he said how his messenger cavalry didn't return; it turned out they couldn't return!
Looking at the Caelingen soldiers who had made a move to protect their companions before dying, Zhang Cheng's pupils gradually stood upright, because he was a bit angry!
Carrying the Purple Star and walking forward, Zhang Cheng sniffed his nose and discovered that there was no aura of living people in the entire Rodell castle, but a scent that made him nauseous was permeating the castle.
"Come out, you damn bastard, I'm going to slaughter you!"
An angry roar, Zhang Cheng roared at the castle in the distance.
But just as the intense sound echoed through the night, a lamp slowly appeared before his eyes.
Behind the lamplight, after revealing a twisted face, the other party smiled and said: "Are you here to sacrifice to the gods?"
"I'm working at eight in the morning, you dog-raising thing!"
Striding forward, Zhang Cheng carried the Purple Star and slashed down with a backhand.
Looking at Zhang Cheng in shock, the other party seemed not to have had time to react before his entire head was severed.
Looking at the rolling head on the ground, Zhang Cheng stepped on it and crushed it: "Sacrifice your mother! Killing my people and standing there mocking me, you really have guts!"
