5, the family situation is not good

Due to the soldiers' strong cooperation, Scott was happy and announced that he would distribute all the spoils to the soldiers.

When he was dividing the money, Leo said to the side: "Sir, you were too big just now, right? We didn't do those things, why did you lie so smoothly? Are you not afraid of being sued?"

"Stealing the news? Someone else has to see it!" Scott patted his shoulder and said with a smile: "It's all my own people, what are you afraid of?"

Leo said worriedly: "There are traitors in his own people!"

"I don't think so." Pointing to the soldiers, Scott said with a smile: "Now, everyone has divided the money, which is considered a share of the people who meet. If something happens, everyone will not be able to escape, so they will only pray for everything to be safe."

After saying that, Scott flashed into the crowd and fought with the soldiers.

After the money-spending activity ended, almost everyone received nearly 300 Eju gold coins. These numbers were not worth mentioning to Scott, but in the eyes of a group of soldiers, this was tantamount to astronomical figures.

There must be brave men under heavy rewards. Scott's generous actions naturally won the hearts of all soldiers. They knelt down and swore allegiance to Scott and to the entire Scott family.

After hearing this, Scott waved his hand and said, "You only need to be loyal to me from now on. As for my family, forget it!"

All the soldiers were stunned, and they were curious why the Lord said such words.

Seeing that the situation was not good, the adjutant Leo quickly stood up and said, "Okay, let's go and rest. We will go deep into the Kingdom of France tomorrow."

The soldiers agreed and scattered.

Next to the bonfire, there were only Scott and Leo.

"Is the Lord Lord worried about the old Lord Lord Lord Lord's two illegitimate children?" Leo asked carefully.

Scotty head: "Yeah, I'm worried about them."

Scott's worries are not made out of nothing, but the situation of the Scott family is too complicated.

His ancestors were originally great nobles in Scotland, but later they were able to obtain the East England region because of their ancestors' marriage with the great nobles in England.

England was much richer than Scotland at that time, so the ancestors settled in England.

With the development of time and the help from Scotland, the Scott family grew stronger and stronger, and has become a force that cannot be ignored in English politics.

Although the Scott family is relatively powerful, it is not a native aristocrat with a strong roots in England. In order to survive, the Scott family has married the native English nobles for generations and worked hard to integrate themselves into the English system.

However, I don’t know which leader started the extravagant trend, fell in love with gambling and getting rich overnight, and the wealth accumulated by generations of ancestors was quickly defeated.

Seeing that the Scott family was about to perish, Scott's great-grandfather Swift appeared, and he turned the tide and saved the Scott family's decline.

First of all, Swift quickly approached the royal family of England, actively supported the foreign war between the then King Edward III of England and his son Black Prince, and provided them with a lot of financial assistance free of charge. His actions naturally won the love of Edward III and the gratitude of Black Prince Edward, and thus initially stabilized the Scott family's status in England.

Secondly, while supporting the king, Swift actively made friends with John of Gunter, the ancestor of the Lancaster family, the son of Edward III. It turned out that great-grandfather Swift made this move too right, because John became the regent of the Kingdom of England after his father Edward III and his brother Edward the Black Prince.

After becoming the Regent, John naturally would not treat the Scott family unfairly and married a daughter of the Lancaster family to the Scott family. Since then, the Scott family has officially become a branch of the Lancaster family and has a great glory.

Later, with the death of great-grandfather, with the death of Regent John and the changes in English politics, coupled with the inaction of grandfather, the Scott family was in a slump again.

Fortunately, Margaret, a grandmother from the Lancaster family, was in charge of the overall situation. Under her control, the Scott family sold a large amount of territory to support Henry IV's war for the throne.

In the end, Henry IV succeeded, and the Scott family was able to consolidate their position again.

After Henry IV came to power, he immediately married his illegitimate daughter to the Scott family in return for their long-term support for the Scott family.

And this young daughter is nothing but Scott's mother Maria Henry. Although Maria Henry is an illegitimate daughter, it was also recognized by King Henry IV.

Therefore, after Mary Henry entered the Scott family, this was the closest marriage between the Scott family from the core status of the Lancaster family, because Henry V and Mary Henry were half-brothers.

It can be said that the kings of Henry VI and Scott are brothers of the same generation. Henry VI had to call out to Aunt when he saw Maria.

If we look at the right to inherit the throne, Scott is also the candidate with the most inheritance, but the premise is that the Scott family must restore its former glory, otherwise it would be useless.

However, the reality is that the territory of the Scott family has shrunk significantly and its economic and military strength has dropped significantly. Even though he has his mother, Maria Henry, the relationship between the Scott family and the Lancaster family cannot change the Scola family's position of gradually being marginalized by the Lancaster family.

The family's situation was already very bad, but now the father's illegitimate children also jumped out without any chance. With the support of the York family and Scotland, they attempted to compete with Scott for the supreme leadership of the Scott family.

In short, Scott had a headache when he remembered these things.

Leo comforted beside him: "It's okay, as long as Mrs. Maria is here, no one will affect your status. Even if Scotland sends people to interfere, we are still fearless. After all, this is England and the area ruled by the Lancaster family."

"With that being said, my mother's health is getting worse and worse. If it weren't for the situation, I would like to adjust my mother's body and come here again." Speaking of this, Scott was helpless: "Now the family's strength is getting weaker and weaker, and the Lancaster family's guys have long ignored us, including the cowardly guy King Henry..."

"Sir, be careful!" Leo was shocked and hurriedly covered Scott's mouth.

Scott pushed him away and scolded angrily: "Your hands smell too much, don't touch me, be careful to be smothered by you."

Leo hurriedly lowered his head and said nothing.

Looking at the moon in the sky, Scott said firmly: "Forget it, since you don't even respond to heaven and earth, then rely on yourself and wait. My Scott family can definitely re-emerge."

"Yes, we also believe that the Lord will succeed. We will definitely follow Lord Judgment closely." Behind them, several team leaders ran out and knelt around Scott.
