Lord of the North

"Is the war in the east over?" Jason asked as he sat next to the newly opened training ground in the castle, wiping the sweat off his face.

"Yes, my lord, I just got the information that the war ended a week ago with the Marquis of Lopez Kingdom Garcia personally asking for peace." Lang Nat whispered: "And the three eastern counties have been ceded to the Lion Principality .”

"What?" Jason's face was full of disbelief: "Is the Marquis Garcia full of dung? He actually asked for peace?"

The surrender of a kingdom by a principality will become a laughing stock if it is spread. Even if the military capacity of the principality is indeed strong, Lopez is not without the strength to destroy it.

The name of the No. 1 military power in the north is not for nothing, but I don't know what happened to the old king, but with Jason's strength, he can't enter the king's city once and come out intact, so he can only do it in a hurry .

"I'm also very surprised, but it may be because of the threat of Suxin Kingdom that he had to go to seek peace, otherwise Lopez will face double threats."

"It's ridiculous. The Kingdom of Suxin was killed by the Marquis of Asa with an army of 30,000 troops. If it weren't for the signing of a bunch of disgusting treaties, his royal family would have ceased to exist!" Jason said disdainfully, this country is a Empty shell, empty in the name of the kingdom.

"I'm very sorry, my lord. I can't think of any other reason besides this." Lang Nat slightly lowered his head: "Our intelligence organization is not strong enough to penetrate into the kingdom's power."

"I don't blame you for this. If you want to break into the kingdom, you can't do it with resources, and it will take time to accumulate." Jason said with a smile.

"Even if he's rotten to the bone, he's still a colossus." Jason stood up and looked to the south, in the direction of King Lopez's city.

"In addition, we have other news." Lang Nat said again.

"what news?"

"Grand Duke Cameron was seriously injured and abdicated, and his only orthodox heir, Gwendoline Cameron, seems to be taking the throne and becoming king."

"Gwendoline..." Jason's eyes were deep. Grand Duke Cameron was seriously injured and abdicated. Gwendoline ascended the throne and sat on the fourth Iron Throne in the north. This news will undoubtedly bring another huge impact on the situation in the north.

"It's tricky," he murmured.

"What's so scary about a woman, they are born to be conquered." Lang Nat said in a muffled voice, full of masculinity.

"Now I'm going to teach you a lesson." Jason looked at him with a smile: "Women are sometimes scarier than men, especially Gwendoline is a lioness."

"I do not understand."

"An ambitious woman, especially a smart and ambitious woman, is the most unfavorable thing to provoke." Jason looked like he knew women very well.

In fact, these are all lessons of blood and tears from history. Think about Wu Zetian, Cleopatra, etc.

"..."

Lang Nat remained silent. For a person like him who has lived on the battlefield all his life, he has very little contact with women, and the meetings are usually carried out...then he understands everything, and the psychological and ideological communication is too difficult. not enough.

"Sigh~ You don't understand even if I tell you." Jason shook his head, expressing his disappointment with his subordinate.

"I just need to know who the enemy is." Lang Nat grinned.

"You." Jason pointed at him and said with a smile, he was really lucky to have this kind of subordinate.

"My lord, someone sent a letter from outside, but he insisted on revealing his identity after seeing your lord, so we temporarily detained him." At this time, a guard hurried over and said with a bow.

"Oh?" Jason became interested. This kind of person is either really looking for something important to him, or is the kind of bold assassin, just like Jing Ke. Of course, Jason doesn't think he can be compared with the first emperor.

"You guys did a great job, what about the letter?" Jason praised, then asked.

"We left it outside the gate." They were afraid that there was some mystery in the letter, such as poisonous dust mixed with something that could kill people.

"Here." Jason nodded and said.

"Yes, my lord." Although the guards were worried, they had to obey Lord Marquis' words unconditionally.

"My lord, let me do it for you." Lang Nat stepped forward and said.

"Well, that's fine." Jason thought for a while, then nodded. Lang Nat has the strength of a great knight, and if something happens, he is capable of solving it.

After a while, the guard came back with a letter and handed it to Lang Nat.

He opened it under Jason's worried eyes, but nothing happened, it was just a very ordinary letter.

"My lord, there is no problem." Lang Nat handed the letter to Jason.

"..." Jason suddenly felt that he was a little too cautious.

"Bring the man outside here." After reading the content above, he said with a serious expression, looking at the guard in front of him.

"yes!"

"My lord, what's the matter?" Lang Nat stepped forward and asked, Jason's expression seemed to be a little off.

"See for yourself." He handed the envelope to Langnart, since there was no secret worth keeping from him anyway.

"This..." Lang Nat took the letter and quickly glanced through it, a little surprised, because there was only one sentence written on it.

"My dear nephew, don't you intend to meet your uncle? - Asa Lake"

"What a surprise." Jason squinted his eyes and looked in the direction of the castle gate.

"When he comes over in a while, you can take him to my study." After he finished speaking, he turned and left.

"Yes, my lord."

Shouldn't the Marquis of Asa be under house arrest by the Marquis of Garcia at this time? How could it appear in the Iron Fangling Castle thousands of miles away from the Royal City?

Jason frowned as he walked, wondering if his visit was a blessing or a curse.

"It doesn't matter, whether it's a blessing or a disaster, you can't avoid it, and the soldiers will cover it up!" He thought to himself, if his uncle wanted to harm him, he probably wouldn't have come in person.

"My lord, I'm here." Not long after Jason returned to the study and meditated, Lang Nat's voice came from outside the door.

"Ask him to come in."

As soon as he finished speaking, Lang Nat pushed the door and entered, followed by a man in a cloak.

"..." Jason sat on the chair without saying a word, staring at him closely.

"Long time no see, dear little Jason." The cloaked man took off his big hat, revealing a handsome face. His smile was gentle and his voice was full of magnetism. Just looking at his appearance, he was a man who was not inferior to Lancelot. middle-aged mature uncle.

It was Marquis Asa Lake, Jason's uncle, the kingdom's War Falcon, who was once second only to King Lopez, who defeated the Kingdom of Susin with 30,000 troops and made him sign several unequal treaties source.

It seems that it is not unreasonable for my uncle to be called the crush object of all the ladies of the capital.

"Welcome, my dear uncle." Jason stood up with a smile on his face.

"Can you tell me why you are here?" The smile on his face disappeared in the next moment, and he asked seriously.

"You are becoming more and more like a nobleman." The smile on Marquis Asa's face became brighter and brighter: "But do you want me to stand up and say it? This is very tiring."

"..."
