Chapter 5 Seeking Funding
"It's Luo Ning.
In the room, Lulans leaned on the bedside. He heard Luo Ning's voice and was a little surprised why his grandson was so attentive today. "Come to see me for anything?"
"Hey hey hey~"
Luo Ning came to the bedside with a smile, pretending to be embarrassed.
"Grandpa, I just learned about the situation in Shanlin Town. It's still quite poor and dangerous there. It's not safe for me to go there alone."
"Ahem!" Rulans coughed twice.
He had thought that the child had grown up before, but he did not expect that the other party was still afraid of difficulties. This made Rulans a little unhappy: "So you are not going to go there?"
"No!"
Luo Ning was very determined: "Since I want to atone for my sins and do something for my family, I won't back down just because of this little danger!"
"Oh?" Lu Lansi's expression softened slightly.
Luo Ning chuckled, "But Grandpa, there were a lot of things that were difficult to do when I was alone."
He also pretended to be a daughter and shook Rulansi's old hand, "So I hope that the family can arrange some guards or elite soldiers for me, and then provide me with some gold coins to buy me some food and weapons and equipment."
"Grandpa doesn't want my eldest grandson to die before he reaches Shanlin Town. I want to come back to attend your birthday party this year!"
"Hahaha……"
Lu Lansi laughed, firstly because Luoning was thinking about his birthday now, and secondly because of Luoning's growth. He didn't expect that this ignorant guy would take the initiative to think about the future and know how to ask for resources. .
He has determined that this child has really grown up.
"You also know that I have left family matters to your father for more than ten years. Now the transfer and distribution of guards are arranged by him and his knights. You can only go to your father for this matter. I am afraid that I will help you." Nothing to do for you.
This kind of thing sounds like rejection.
Wiggins is so afraid of Lulans, so whether he will give him resources or not is still a matter of Rulans' words?
Luo Ning had no choice but to make a pitiful gesture: "After my mother died, my father has always hated me. Now if I ask him for resources, he will not only scold me, but maybe even beat me."
At this point, it's time to play some emotional cards. He cried and cried: "Grandpa taught me how to read, ride horses, and hunt, but now he is not even willing to support his grandson who is about to travel far away?"
"If it doesn't work out, even if I borrow it from my family, I will pay it back little by little!"
Shame, is it important?
Of course that's important!
But it also depends on the occasion.
As the saying goes, children who cry are fed by milk, and Luo Ning will now play the role of a child who can cry.
As for the dispute between the Wushan family and the border count's family caused by him, he simply didn't think about it and pretended that it was not him.
Yes, those things were done by my predecessor. What does it have to do with him, Luo Ning?
Whether the old Marquis was angry or displeased, he just wanted to shamelessly come over today and ask for a little bit.
Fortunately, Lu Lansi, an old man who lived not long ago, was still very nostalgic. Especially when Luo Ning mentioned teaching literacy, teaching horse riding, and teaching hunting, he was deeply touched.
He had to admit that he had invested a lot of emotion in Luo Ning.
Now faced with the request of the grandson on whom he had placed endless hopes, his heart softened again.
"Okay, okay, I agree.
Lulans said helplessly, then turned to look at the old butler who was waiting on the side.
"Most, you go tell Wiggins and ask him to support Ronin with one hundred gold coins in my name, and other supplies, such as food, guards, horses, etc., as a father, he must also express his gratitude, no matter what. Luo Ning is also his son, a child of my Wushan family. "
"Okay, sir!" The old butler bowed and left the room to inform.
Luo Ning grinned, "Thank you grandpa for your support, I will definitely run Shanlin Town very well!"
"Then do your best!"
Lulans smiled and slowly lay down, "If you have time, remember to go back to the castle more often."
"I will."
Luo Ning knew that this was an eviction order. He stood up and helped Lu Lans pull a corner of the blanket to cover his chest, and then exited the room.
"This kid has really grown up."
Lulans looked at Luo Ning's leaving figure and sighed, "It's a pity that it's a little late. It's a pity that he doesn't have the fighting spirit or magic."
As a pioneer in the Marquis Territory, Lulans naturally hopes that his family can become stronger and does not place any hope on outsiders.
It's a pity that when he was alive, those former followers would not have any thoughts, and even if they had thoughts, they would not act.
But when he dies, it won't be certain.
Let Brayton succeed and bind the Hyde family to the Osan family. This is the best choice.
As for Luo Ning, whether he is granted the title of Baron or is now being given 100 gold coins as a financial aid, it is nothing to Rulans.
He would be happy to see Luo Ning develop, but he would not be angry if Luo Ning still had no achievements.
On the other side, Luo Ning walked out of the old Marquis' house and looked at the peaceful garden in front of him, feeling refreshed.
100 gold coins, plus his own balance, a total of 128 gold coins, which is enough for him to purchase a lot of resources. At least he doesn't have to worry about going hungry in a remote mountain town.
"Since grandpa has given the order, even if my cheap father doesn't want to, he will support it more or less, right?"
Ronin thought about it and gave up the idea of going out to the market.
First, it was getting dark, and second, he wanted to see what Wiggins would give him.
If the initial supplies were enough, he would not need to go out to purchase.
...
Not long after, in the luxurious living room, Wiggins' angry questioning shook the crystal chandelier on the ceiling.
"What, let me support that guy with resources?"
"Is my father confused? This Ronin has brought huge losses to the family. We don't expel him from the family, but now you want me to support him?"
The rough man took a big sip of beer and roared angrily: "Impossible, I can't waste another grain or soldier on him!"
"But Lord Earl, Lord Marquis said that Master Ronin is the blood of the Wushan family after all. How about Lord Earl, please support him a little?"
The old butler Most was very embarrassed standing aside. On one side was Lord Marquis's order, and on the other side was Lord Earl, who was always irritable. He didn't dare to say anything or talk too much.
"Just do what father said."
At this time, the beautiful young woman sitting on the sofa nearby spoke.
Diane Hyde, this woman over 40 is still beautiful and charming. Her long curly golden hair casually draped on the sofa, setting off her leaning posture even more attractive.
"Father is right. No matter where Ronin goes, he is still the blood and eldest grandson of our Wushan family. If something happens before he arrives in Shanlin Town, it will not be a good thing for the Wushan family and the Hyde family if it is spread out."
"He killed your niece!"
Wiggins glanced at his wife unhappily, "You are still speaking for him."
Holwart stood aside and wiped his sweat. He had been waiting for the master and the lady to separate before telling Wiggins what Ronin said. After all, he mentioned the ex-wife.
Now it seems that he can't wait any longer.
Hallward considered it for a moment, then bowed and said carefully: "Master, when I went to Master Roning just now, he also wanted me to tell you."
"Tell you what?"
Wiggins said coldly. Why didn't he realize that his son was so talkative before?
"He said that you should give him some support for his mother Fatima Sari."
Hallward automatically omitted some words, which were indeed not appropriate to say.
But this sentence made Wiggins stunned for a moment, and a beautiful face appeared in his mind. That was his white moonlight, his first true lover.
"Humph, he can only bring up his mother!"
Diane didn't seem to care about her husband's ex-wife. She smiled gently: "Yes, I heard that you made a vow to take care of Roning as much as you can."
"That depends on what kind of guy Roning is!"
Wiggins took another sip of wine and said to Hallward: "Just do as your father said and give Roning some support."
He paused and said: "Don't give too much, prepare first, and I'll confirm it later."
"Yes, sir." Hallward responded with a smile.
