Chapter 4 Father's Old General

"Master!"

"What happened? Why are you in such a panic? Is Henry attacking us?"

"No, it's Tom who came to welcome us into the castle for a rest."

"He came in person?"

"Yes, little Tom only brought the old butler with him. He drank a little too much. He said that he wanted to lead you into the city by himself."

Hearing this, Robin was flattered and patted his big belly. He slapped the soldier and scolded, "You called little Tom, too? Only I can call him that."

The soldier said yes immediately, not daring to show any dissatisfaction.

Cautious Robin didn't let go of his vigilance until he saw Tom and Reagan coming alone.

They pretended to miss the old days and talked for a while. Then, Robin got up and went towards the castle under Tom's lead.

Tom glanced at the army behind him. It was only an elite army of at most 300 people. How dare it be called a huge army of 3000 soldiers?

Perhaps Robin was also on guard against Henry, fearing that he would be besieged by Henry.

But it was a good thing that the two of them had underestimated Tom’s strength.

Sitting on the back of the horse, Robin was imagining the scene that Tom opened the city gate and presented him beauties and treasures.

It was said that his good nephew had received a group of beautiful foreigners in the castle. Thinking of this, Robin couldn't help but drool, wishing to rush into the castle as soon as possible.

He even started to imagine that a group of beautiful women were panting under him.

After defeating the Black Soil castle, he could dispatch his troops to attack and plunder Henry's territory. When Henry attacked back, he would guard the Black Soil Territory castle. He was looking forward to seeing that Henry could do nothing to him.

All of a sudden, his new deputy whispered to him, "Master, something was wrong. Why haven't we seen the spies we sent before?"

When he woke up Robin, Robin also felt that something was wrong. No matter what happened, the spy leader should report the situation to him.

But he still thought that he should ask his good nephew. He couldn't let his nephew feel left out.

"He!"

Little Tom said crossly, "Uncle, your subordinate is so unreasonable. He asked me to entertain him well."

"After he got drunk, he even asked my maid to serve him."

"I guess he is enjoying the service of my maids now."

After thinking for a while, Robin found that the person he sent seemed to be really like this. He often did something harmful to his face relying on his identity.

He gritted his teeth in anger and said to his deputy, "Humph! How dare he enjoy the service of my nephew's maids? This guy deserves to die!"

"Forget it. I saw that he was loyal to uncle and didn't delay his work. Please don't punish him too much." Tom pretended to plead.

"Well, my nephew interceded for him. Let it go. Deserts equal faults. Don't give him the reward this time."

His deputy nodded awkwardly.

He still felt that there was a trap. Just as he was thinking about how to organize a backup plan.

But Tom, the black sheep, winked at him.

Somehow, he stopped persuading Robin.

Tom took the initiative to lean the horse towards him and greeted in a low voice.

"Rod, long time no see."

"Tom, what are you doing? It's the best result for you now. I think your father doesn't want to see you die at the hands of Robin."

Rod used to be the team leader of Tom's father's royal guard. With the strength of a great knight, he was only a little away from a low rank hero.

After the duke died, he led a group of people to become famous thieves in the country. He also tried to resist the shameless relatives of Tom's family, but unfortunately failed.

He also thought about to join Tom, hoping that Tom could lead them to retrieve the split land.

But on the way, he heard a lot of bad things about Tom. He wavered in his ideas. It happened that Robin had sent someone to recruit him, so he led his troop to join Robin and became the adjutant of Robin.

He was called the adjutant. However, it was more like he was under surveillance and had no trust at all.

"I want you to help me."

Tom's words interrupted Rod's memory.

"What do you want me to do?"

After hearing Tom's complete plan, Rod looked at Tom with a complicated expression.

"So what I heard are just some rumors. I thought... I shouldn't have blamed you."

"Well, don't cry. You are half a hero. It's not good to be seen by others."

"Wipe away your tears. We can only talk about other things later. Look at you, you have attracted Robin here."

Seeing that Robin was approaching, Rod wiped his tears hastily and regained his sanity.

"My dear nephew, what are you talking about with Rod?"

He deliberately smiled and said, "Are you talking about how to deal with me?"

"Of course not."

Rod explained in a hurry, "He is talking to me about his father's glorious deeds. It made me sad, so we talked a little more."

"Ha, Rod, the glory of the past is not worthy of you to miss. You will be more glorious if you follow me!"

While talking, Robin knocked both of them on the chest with his fists.
