Chapter 278 2 Choices

"Accidental injury is an accidental injury, and rewards and punishments must be clearly defined." The noble representative finally found an opportunity to refute and seized this point. The other nobles also showed a smile at this time.

"Really, you don't seem to have said that before. I remember that kid in the third squadron, he got the title of lord because of the merits he made in the war the year before. If I remember correctly, he let him in that battle. Many soldiers went to die, and more people were killed by mistake. What did you say at that time?"

"They say those are untouchables, and it is an honor to die for the nobles." An officer next to him said loudly.

That incident at that time made them all very angry, but there was nothing they could do. Because the imperial law and the nobility code are indeed stipulated in this way.

For the power and glory of the nobility, there are many regulations in this regard. But at that time, they took the elite of the army to die, and they would never accept such a thing.

"That incident was just an accident at the time."

The city owner sneered: "Accidental, whether it is an accident or not, the reward and punishment must be clearly defined, right? He was not a noble at that time, so what kind of punishment should be imposed according to the law at that time?"

"No, although he is not a noble, he is the heir to the noble, which is different from the commoners."

"Then what about Lord Du You, he is already a nobleman and has the title of Lord."

The two sides fought hard and did not give in at all. This is no longer a relationship between reward and punishment, it has become a battle between the authority of the city lord and the authority of these nobles.

"Okay, okay, let's not talk about this for the time being. After all, it's a matter between nobles and ordinary people. We don't care about the commoners." Suddenly, an old noble said.

The other nobles stared wide-eyed and looked incredulous. How could this guy betray.

But the next moment, the old aristocrat pointed at a screen and said, "Don't move, move forward, this is it." Suddenly, the person next to him followed his words, and the control screen stopped.

The old aristocrat said: "Never mind the commoners. Look at this, this is the one who was accidentally injured. This is not a commoner. If I remember correctly, he is the son of Viscount Rulor. Look, his leg was accidentally injured. already."

The eyes of the nobles lit up, yes, that guy's leg was accidentally injured by a holy light arrow. But the next picture is of this injured person, directing his guards to run away with his back, ignoring that he is still fighting at this time.

It is completely different from the style of others around him, which has attracted a lot of contempt.

The nobles also feel very shameless, but at this time, they can't give up arguing.

"Wait, does Viscount Rulor still have this son? I remember that he seems to have only two sons, and this is not any of them." Suddenly, a senior military official said suspiciously.

The old nobleman's expression changed slightly, and he said a little embarrassedly: "It's not a direct descendant, it's an illegitimate child. But anyway, this is also the son of a viscount, so it's hard to justify accidental injury.

"Hmph, it turned out to be just an illegitimate child. There are provisions in the Noble Code. The illegitimate child does not have the right to inherit and is not recognized by the nobles. How can this be said to be from the nobles."

Now the city lord began to speak with the nobility code. No matter what time it is, as long as it is beneficial to you, you must refute it to the end. This is the style of the aristocracy.

"By the way, there is also the matter of this guy escaping from the battle, and we must also investigate it."

The city lord said without hesitation, in any case, the city lord is also an earl, and he is also a real power earl, not a mere viscount that can fight. Not to mention, this is just an illegitimate child.

"But he's injured, and it's normal for him to retreat."

"What's the situation? Others were also injured. Why didn't he retreat? It's different from him? Besides, if he wants to retreat, he should retreat. Why should he let others take it with him, reducing an important combat power." That person It's not wrong to be his subordinates, but it's not wrong to lose one combat power on the battlefield.

"What I'm talking about now is not the issue of escape, but the issue of accidental injury. A noble's child, even if it's just an illegitimate child, can't be accidentally injured. It must be solved in a noble way."

The topic of discussion between the two sides is getting more and more strange. However, this is not a problem related to the development of Baishi City after all. The city owner did not hesitate to argue, and wanted to vent all the anger he had just suffered. As the two sides argued, the smell of gunpowder became stronger and stronger.

Even later, even this topic didn't know where it strayed. The two sides were just trying to overpower each other, not discussing Du You's reward. Time passed, and finally, there were still senior military officials who couldn't stand it any longer. They're wasting their time like this, it's better to do something serious.

In the end, both sides took a step back and finally settled the matter.

Du You rested at home for a day, and at noon the next day, someone finally came to Du You.

"Lord Du You, Lord City Lord asked you to come over." Du You nodded lightly, he knew that his reward should finally come down. Du You's requirements are not high, as long as he has territorial authority.

Following the attendant all the way to the City Lord's Mansion, this attendant is not a military messenger, but a noble attendant.

Because this time is for merit reward, and Du You is not a member of the military, so he cannot be promoted, and can only reward his status in the aristocracy. The things they do are different, so the people they send are also different.

For the first time, Du You saw the city lord Duka, and he also saw the bright level 30 label on the city lord's head.

Unexpectedly, the city lord is still a third-order peak existence. I don't know when it will be able to break through to the fourth-order. It is no wonder that he can suppress everything in Baishicheng and become the strongest guarding Baishicheng.

Seeing Du You's arrival, the city lord nodded very satisfied: "Yes, yes, come and sit, we have already seen your contribution. But since you are from a commoner, the resistance is relatively large, and the rewards will be discounted, you don't want to. mind."

Du You was stunned for a moment, and then he came to a general understanding. He wasn't his own, and of course the nobles didn't want outsiders to improve their status.

"I understand that I will continue to work hard to prove myself."

This answer is quite satisfactory, and the city owner is also very satisfied with Du You's current affairs.

"It doesn't matter, there are still opportunities in the future. I believe that your strength can do it. After our discussion, there are two choices for your reward. How do you choose to decide for yourself."
