The plain of the Agri River is wider to the northwest and narrower to the southeast, forming a large triangle. (Pinyin for biqi u)

At the top of this triangle is a delta formed by the confluence of the Agri River with another river.

The sprawling Apennines block most of the sea breezes from the Tyrrhenian Sea, making the climate of the Agri plain warm but not dry all year round.

Such a place seems to have been born to provide a paradise of abundant food for the creatures of the world, and even some wild beasts on the plains of Agri seem to be much more alive because they do not worry about eating and drinking.

When the team arrived in the village, it caused a commotion.

The village chief, a middle-aged man who looked very sleek, had already run outside the village and waited when he saw the army approaching.

It is clear that the peasants who live here have learned all kinds of survival skills, and unlike the people in other places, the Agri do not have any opinions about changing lords just because they have a good night's sleep, they will only happily accept the change of lord, rather than caring who they change.

So when the chief saw the Bohemians, he shouted from afar to welcome the conquistador, but when he saw the Khosha at the back of the procession, and quickly recognized her, the chief immediately had a relaxed look on his face.

Not only did he immediately call the army into the village, but he also told the people around him to go and call all the people of the village, especially the women, to bring out the food that had been prepared, so that the army of the Countess could be "well fed."

"Life here must be easy." Looking at this scene, Alexander smiled lightly.

This made Ji Sha feel very embarrassed, she glared fiercely at the village chief who was carefully following behind, looked at the village that had been lit up, and said coldly: "Just prepare food and water for us, and we will leave soon." ”

"Miss, are you going to the farm?"

The village chief asked cautiously, for it was indeed embarrassing for the lady to feel as if she was ready to flatter any conqueror, but he obviously didn't care much about it, or was used to it.

"Go to the farm, someone should take care of it over there." After speaking, Ji Sha turned back to look at the team, "And go and see the woman behind me, see whose daughter she is." ”

The village chief looked at the group in the dark night behind him in some surprise, he had only paid attention to Miss Earl before.

When he saw the village girl sitting in front of a cavalry horse, the village chief let out a surprised surprise, and as he shouted loudly into the village, a middle-aged couple soon ran out of the village.

For a moment the men's curses and the women's cries resounded throughout the village, and the young man, who called himself Elliott, was chased and beaten by the angry parents.

It wasn't until Jisha coldly stopped them that the farce came to an abrupt end.

Looking at the embarrassed young man, Alexander was a little curious, thinking that this man had risked his way from Taranto to the territory of the Cosentsa in order to have a tryst with a rustic village girl in the middle of the night, and he felt that if this fellow who claimed to be the only son of the Count of Taranto was not a liar like Mahimo, he was a complete playboy.

"Am I embarrassed?" Brushing the woman's torn hair, the young man sat across from Alexander, looked at him very seriously, and then pouted slightly, "You look okay, at least it doesn't embarrass my father too much." ”

"What did you say?" Alexander didn't react for a moment.

"I mean, as my future stepmother's lover, you don't look good, which shows that she has a good eye, and at least in that regard, my father is also very discerning."

Alexander moved his lips but didn't make a sound, although it was really nothing to have a lover openly in this era, but it was the first time he had seen such a decent lover for his father's fiancée.

"I'm not your future stepmother," said Tsuna, looking at the young man who was older than her, "and I didn't say yes to it. ”

"It's probably not up to you," Elliot shook his head disapprovingly, "your brother Keisel has agreed to the marriage, and he said he would soon come to Taranto to discuss your marriage with my father in person. ”

"I can guarantee that there will be no meeting," said Tsusha coldly, "and I want you to tell you the truth, what are you doing in Agri, not to mention that you are just trying to have a tryst with that woman." ”

"It's not for a tryst with that woman," Elliott's expression became serious, he looked at the two people opposite him who showed concern because of his words, and suddenly smiled and said, "Actually, I'm here to have a tryst with a group of women." ”

After saying that, he began to laugh uncontrollably.

Josha's eyes narrowed slightly, if Elliott was familiar with her, she would know that the girl who claimed to be a descendant of the hunter was really angry, and she looked at Oriot like a huntress staring at her prey.

"Whether you're going to be my stepmother or not, but I'm really tired right now, and you know men are fragile when it comes to some things," Elliot winked at Alexander, a 'you know' look, "so I've got to go get some rest, and if you're going to take me away, just wake me up tomorrow before you leave." ”

After saying that, he turned and left without waiting for Jisha to stop him, and when he reached the door, he did not forget to tell Uliu, who was standing outside the door: "Prepare a bed for me, the meadow should be thicker, don't be so stupid and stand and hurry to work." ”

Visa looked at Elliott's back in amazement, not even knowing what to say for a moment.

When he disappeared outside the door, Jisha seemed to come to her senses, she stood up angrily, but she didn't know what to do, and for a moment her cheeks were red in the light because of anger.

"I like this guy, it's funny," Alexander chuckled, but when he saw the look in his eyes, he raised his hands and stepped back in surrender, "Don't look at me like that, this man is your stepson." ”

"Laugh at it," said Josha, glaring at Alexander angrily, "don't you really wonder why he came to Agri?" ”

"Of course I'm strange," Alexander put away his smile and pointed outside, "but I know that just outside our door, there are 97 bohemians, and each of them is the best mercenary, so what are you worried about?" ”

Alexander's words relieved her mind a little, thinking that she had come with a group of Bohemian cavalry, and she began to feel that her previous worries were indeed a little unnecessary.

"If Count Taranto wants to fight the idea of the Agri Plains, I will let him know that the people of the Cosenza family are not easy to deal with."

Jisha picked up the bread on the table and put it in her mouth and bit it hard, and then she was a little surprised and immediately took the bread out of her mouth and looked at it carefully.

"What is this?" Strangely, she tore open the crust of the bread and looked at the black lump inside, "It looked like meat." ”

Alexander tore open a piece of bread, sniffed it, and nodded: "It's indeed meat, it's filled with minced meat and something." ”

"I've never eaten anything like this before, and it's a little weird, but it tastes good." She took another curious bite, then nodded in satisfaction and began to take a big bite.

Seeing that the food was delicious, Alexander slowly chewed into the salty and slightly sweet meat bread, and couldn't help but have a new understanding of the Agri River Plain.

It's a really rich place.

The Cosenza family's farmsteads were farther away than Alexander had imagined, and from a distance, they looked more like a small garrison.

A stone wall built along the undulating terrain looks like a wave across the field from a distance.

Every once in a long distance there would be a wooden lookout behind the wall, but there was no one on it.

"Our farmstead has the best bacon and home-grown wine," says Cinza with a little pride, "and the wine tastes no worse than the one in the monastery." ”

"It tastes good."

Josha didn't hear Elliot muttering in the middle of nowhere, she was a little excited, or a little nervous.

There's a reason why Jisha has this kind of emotion.

The protectors of the Agri grain fields are actually the entire Cosenza family, or the successive counts of Cosenza.

As the eldest son, Kaisel would have inherited the earldom if nothing else, and then he would have become Agri's protector.

But now, what Jossa is doing is leaving aside Keisel, who is the future lord, and declaring his power over Agri alone.

The implication of this can be said to be self-evident!

According to the previous trajectory of her life, she knew that when she got married one day, she could inherit a small piece of the territory from her mother that should belong to her, as well as a rich dowry from her father according to his favored affection.

Then she took them with her into another complete stranger home, and if nothing else, she would spend a long time with her husband.

This idea of taking it for granted was so ingrained even a month ago,

But now, looking back at the rough-looking, even savage-looking bohemians behind her, she felt that her life had been completely shattered and destroyed.

But she couldn't help but admit that this completely unfamiliar experience made her uneasy and incredibly fond of it.

The idea of becoming the lord of Agri, not to mention that Jisha has never had it, even the ancestors of the Cosenza family have always been able to bury this thought in their hearts and dare not confide it easily.

The richest grain-producing area in the entire South, after all, such a place is too much attention.

But now that wish does not seem to be out of the question.

First the proclamation as protector of the Agri region, and then the dominion of the land, which now seems not far off.

Who brought about all this change?

Thinking of this, Jisha looked at Alexander next to her.

She still didn't believe that he was her half-brother, not because of simple suspicion, but because there was something she couldn't let go.

Maybe it's that kind of look, maybe it's those inadvertent movements, Jisha can feel some kind of throbbing between the two, and this throbbing is definitely not what brother and sister should have.

Josha could feel the difference in that emotion, not to mention her brother and sister who were not close, even if they were as close as Bellery, and Josa could feel that it was a completely different kind of emotion from the way Alexander looked at her.

It is the relationship between relatives who are truly related, whether it is cold or intimate, but there will be no such emotions in the middle.

He was interested in me.

She felt that she had read the young man's heart.

But this thought didn't make her straight, and instead she felt as if she had fallen into a trap from which she couldn't extricate herself.

Not long ago, she was a naïve aristocratic lady, but now she has to arm herself with armor and tenacity, and even take the initiative to start a battle for power, which makes her feel that her previous self has suddenly become unrecognizable.

All this may not have been caused by the inexplicable appearance of Alexandre Juliant Cambrai, but it has only happened since he appeared. From Naples to Cosenza, from Cosenza to the Agri Plain, Jossa felt like a spinning top with a rope in place, spinning faster and farther away from her old life.

But looking at the approaching farmstead, Jisha was surprised by the faint excitement in her heart.

This farm is not only the property of the Cosenza family in Agri, but also a testament to their role as custodians of the land.

Still far from the fence, several people came out of the wide wooden fence. From their clothing, it can be seen that these people must be from the farm, and the leader is already very old.

Seeing Jisha, the old man stood at a distance and bowed.

"This is the farmer, but I've forgotten his name." Josha whispered to Alexander.

"Miss Count, I didn't expect you to come," said the old man as his mount stopped in front of him, and then asked with a little confusion, "Miss, it is not yet time for the usual rounds, and I remember that you and your brother Lord Kesel will always come later." ”

"Really?" "I think if I come any later, maybe this farm won't belong to the Kosencha family anymore." ”

The old man raised his head in astonishment, as if he didn't know what Jisha was talking about, and he was about to speak but was stopped by Jisha.

"Do you know this person?" Jisha pointed behind her.

The steward of the farm looked suspiciously at the line behind him, and when he saw the Elliott, the steward was stunned at first, and then suddenly jumped to his feet and shouted: "Catch this thief!" ”

Several of the peasants behind saw Elliott at this time, and they immediately threw themselves at him with the same anger as the chief, and one of them even grabbed the reins of the Bohemian mount in front of him in a hurry, and tried to push the horse aside.

This caused the displeasure of the bohemians, and the soldier unceremoniously stooped down and punched the farmer in the face.

"What are you doing, that man is a thief, he almost stole all the wine from the farm, and he also hooked up with the girls on the farm, no woman can escape from his palm, this playboy, this swinger boy almost slept with all the girls in the neighborhood!"

Seeing that someone was protecting the thief, the steward's face fell into tears, and he began to complain to Josha, and as he complained, not only did Kosha's face become more and more ugly, but the eyes of the others looked at the Elliot strangely.

However, there were some exceptions, and Massimo couldn't help but look at the man who claimed to be the heir to Taranto's territory with the eyes of his confidant, and wondered in his heart which path he might be a colleague.

And Alexander looked at the man with interest.

Alexander did not believe that the man's identity was fake, because he hid the handkerchief in a secretive way, and if he had not been in a position where he could see the man's movements, his movements would not have been discovered.

Clearly, this man was trying to hide his identity.

In addition, as for the possible marriage between Keissa and the Count of Taranto, this is only a private plan between Kaisel and the Count of Hawsen, and this person can know that Keisel is going to meet with the Count of Hawsen, which also explains his identity.

However, the manager's words made Alexander very interested in this Elliott.

"I just have a crush on the wine made on the farm," Elliott looked at the darkened Shosha, "There are no really good grapes in Taranto, and there are no people who can make wine, so I hope you will bring the secret recipe and a few good winemakers as your dowry in the future, stepmother." ”

When the farmer and the peasants behind him heard this, their expressions suddenly became strange, and he was so angry that his wrists trembled, and he almost tried to teach this nasty fellow a hard lesson with a horsewhip.

"I like this nephew." Alexander said with a chuckle.
