Chapter 0556 North Wind City is emptied.
The flood in the lower reaches of the Youshui River has already spread in the upper reaches, and many victims of the disaster have flooded into these cities, and Beifeng City also has flooded in.
The Lord of Beifeng stood on the city wall, looking with a gloomy face at the refugees queuing up outside the city to enter the city. There were hundreds of people in this wave, and it was already the third wave today.
"How many refugees are there in the city?" Beifeng City Lord said in a deep voice.
"Big, there are about 2000 people." The knight said cautiously, he could see that the city lord was not very happy.
"Is there something wrong?" Beifeng City Lord said flatly, no one could see what he was thinking.
"A few refugees stole wheat, and now they have been hanged for public display." The knight said with a serious face.
"There are more and more refugees." The Beifeng City Lord's fat face trembled, looking at the refugees gathered at the gate of the city. Safety.
"My lord, why don't you send knights to drive away the refugees?" The knight suggested, the city is very unsafe now, there are messy refugees everywhere, and things like stealing and smashing happen from time to time.
"Hmph, no need." City Lord Beifeng waved his hand and said indifferently, "Send people to send these refugees to Sheba City, isn't that HAD short of people? We will send some people to him for free."
He thought that the people from Sheba City came to borrow a boat a few days ago, and it was extremely ridiculous to save people, making him think that HAD had a brain twitch?Can the civilians in your own territory afford it?Is it okay to keep coins?It's ridiculous to have such a kind heart to save people.
"Is City Lord HAD willing to accept these refugees?" The knight hesitated. He knew that the City Lord had a lot of opinions on Sheba City Lord HAD, mainly because the current Beifeng City was about to be taken over by Sheba City.
"I will accept it, and send some wheat to Sheba City by the way, HAD will definitely accept it." The Lord of Beifeng City sneered, it would be better if he didn't accept it, and he spread rumors to make that HAD famous in the street.
He would like to see how Sheba City can support so many people. It is only spring now, and the harvest will not be until autumn.Even if you go to buy wheat, you have to go inland, where wheat is harvested twice a year, but you have to be prepared to be slaughtered.
The trade in Sheba City has just started not long ago. Unlike Beifeng City, which hoards enough wheat for tens of thousands of people every year, after all, he is a middleman of wheat, and he sells it at a higher price every time.
Who knows that a large population is good, but it must be able to afford it, and raising so many wastes is a waste of food, so he will not foolishly give wheat to those refugees, just like the Sheba city lord. Only a fool would do that, no amount of wealth would be ruined.
Anyway, he won't sell his wheat to Sheba City anymore. He wanted to see what that HAD did, but he actually put his hands in Beifeng City. Does this mean he is easy to bully?
"My lord, how much wheat do you want to send?" The knight didn't expect the city lord to be so generous that he would give wheat to others.
"A thousand catties of wheat." Beifeng City Lord smiled lightly.
"Uh..." The knight was stunned. A thousand catties of wheat, if eaten sparingly, is enough to feed 1000 people for two days. Isn't it too stingy to send this amount of wheat over there?
"What? Is there any problem?" Beifeng City Lord squinted his eyes and looked over, his eyes full of murderous intent.
"No, no problem." The knight said excitedly, the city lord has been a little moody recently.
"Get ready, I'll go to Sheba City together tomorrow." Beifeng City Lord said lightly, he missed the food at Zuixiaolou a little bit, and also wanted to see Sheba City Lord's jokes.
"My subordinates will make arrangements immediately." The knight saluted, turned around and went down the city wall.
The knight stood under the city wall, turned his head to look at the city lord, sighed silently, and muttered to himself, "Master the city lord, why are you bothering? We can't afford to provoke the city lord of Sheba."
"Ta Tata..."
The knight strode towards the city. He was going to dispatch someone to arrange for these refugees. Now the streets of Beifeng City were full of refugees with their families and their families, holding a broken bowl in their hands.
"Hey, have you heard? There is cheap salt for sale in the city."
"Really? Now a catty of salt costs forty copper coins. Cheap salt is not much cheaper, right? How many copper coins can you drop?"
"Hey... Look, this bag of salt only costs five copper coins, and this bag weighs less than two or three taels. It only costs more than 20 copper coins per catty, isn't it cheap?"
"It only costs more than 20 copper coins for a catty of salt? Are you kidding me? How can it be so cheap? Is the salt bad? Is it mixed with sand?"
"No, how could it be mixed with sand? It's green salt from Sheba City. It's good salt. The owner of Sheba City specially makes this small bag of salt so that the common people can afford it."
"Salt from Sheba City, then it's no problem, I'll go buy a pack now."
"It's just in the east of the city. There's a newly opened salt shop there. Hurry up, there are a lot of people rushing to buy it."
"it is good."
"..."
"Alas~~" The knight couldn't help sighing when he heard the conversation between the two civilians just now. The salt sellers in Beifeng City have been controlled by Sheba City, and the linen business is the same. They are all shops opened by Sheba City. .
Now the civilians in Beifeng City heard that the goods were from Sheba City, and they desperately snapped up the goods. They were cheap and of good quality, and the market was already full of goods produced in Sheba City.
Food, clothing, housing, transportation, clothing and food are controlled by Sheba City, if the wheat business is not controlled by the city lord, maybe this Beifeng City is the city lord of Sheba.
This is also one of the reasons why the Lord of Beifeng City hates Sheba City so much now. Apart from jealousy, he hates Sheba City for meddling in the affairs of Beifeng City.
If it weren't for the fear of Sheba City's military strength, perhaps the salt shop, linen shop, restaurant, etc. had all been swallowed up by the Lord of Beifeng City.
Chapter 0557 Darlene arrived.
"Crash..."
On the Youshui River, hundreds of boats are advancing. The leading boats are more than 30 boats full of people and victims, followed by seven or eight boats led by the Lord of Beifeng City. They met Niu Da and others on the way. Human rescue boat.
"It's here, it's finally here." Xilan looked at the port in the distance and shouted excitedly, "Sister Avery, look, the port of Sheba City has arrived."
She has to calculate the food consumption every day these days, which makes her nerves tense.
"Yes." Avery's orange eyes have thick dark circles. She hasn't slept well in the past five days. She is either patrolling or on the way to patrol, for fear that the victims will riot.Once there is a riot on board, it means that the ship is about to sink.
"The population should be enough this time." Niu Da turned his head and looked at the victims with their heads stretched out. They all stood on tiptoes and looked towards the direction of the port.
These days, they have instilled in the victims how good Sheba City is and how the benefits are. They almost blow Sheba City up to the sky, which arouses great expectations from the victims.
"Gaba, go make another inspection, and tell the victims not to mess up. Don't mess up at this time." Avery told the bear-eared wolf in a deep voice.
"Yes, I understand." Gaba replied in a deep voice, and turned her head to lead the veteran into the cabin. This 50-meter-large ship, no matter what happens, nothing will happen.
"Wow, that port is so big, is Sheba City in front of it? Isn't this too powerful?"
"Are we going to live here in the future?"
"Can we really have enough to eat every day? And a new house to live in? It won't be a lie to us, right?"
"You'll know when we arrive, our home is gone anyway."
"..."
The victims all started talking about it, for fear that what they heard before was false. After all, they are so far away from home, so they will inevitably feel panic.
"Everyone, please rest assured that Sheba City will not treat you badly. As long as you work hard, you can have new houses and new clothes." Niu Da turned his head and shouted to the victims, he was also afraid of accidents at the last minute.
"Master Niu, please don't worry, I will restrain everyone." Taki said in a low voice beside Niu Da, he knew what Niu Da and others were worried about.
"Wait a minute, come with me to see the Lord City Master." Niu Da said softly, he thinks that Taki is a talent, especially in these days, he has helped him a lot.
"Yes." Taki looked happy, who doesn't want to climb high? , He can be valued by others, which is a good thing in the final analysis.
Anyway, the Lord of Sheba City sent people to rescue the civilians in Huiyan City, no matter how bad it is, it won't be so bad, right?
"..."
On the seven or eight ships behind, the Lord of Beifeng is now gloating at the ships ahead.
"Hmph, there are so many people here. Let me see what HAD will do." The Lord of Beifeng looked indifferently at the thirty or so ships ahead and the densely populated refugees, which made him sneer.
To have saved so many victims, is everyone in Sheba City stupid?Can this be supported?Do you think there is as much food in stock as he does in Beifeng City?
He is waiting to see the joke now, as long as the other party can't support so many people, then Sheba City will be too busy to take care of itself, and then he will have the opportunity to take the salt shop in Beifeng City as his own.
"My lord, will the city lord of Sheba really accept our people? There are almost refugees here." The knight said worriedly. They had only brought food for two days. But the most important thing is that Beifeng City can't beat Sheba City.
"HAD will accept them. Didn't you see that they have gathered so many refugees?" the Lord of Beifeng sneered.
"This..." The knight is not very optimistic, this City Lord HAD is not a fool either.
"..."
The next few hundred ships were the ships of nobles and merchants. They fell behind and caught up when the flood receded. Who made the fleet full of victims move too slowly.
"This HAD, can't he have a brain twitch? Why are there so many refugees? Are you crazy?" Kun Zhan's face was very ugly. He already regarded Sheba City as the city of the fourth prince.
With so many refugees, can Sheba City afford it?If they ran out of food, what would the hundreds of knights he brought eat?The wheat they brought is only enough to last for two or three days.
"Look, with so many people, can he feed them? I'm afraid most of them will starve to death." Jesse's face was dark, his thoughts were the same as Kunzhan's.
In fact, the two originally wanted to contact Earl Puli's knights in the west, but they didn't expect the flood to disrupt their plans, so they had to come to Sheba City first to make plans.
"Wait, what should we do? Are we going to take the knights to seize the port?" Kunzhan asked in a low voice.
"Not for the time being, there are too many changes here, the first prince, the second prince doesn't know how many knights have been brought over, don't startle the snake, let's go directly to that HAD tonight to make it clear, see if he dares to resist the four Prince's order." Jessie sneered.
"Okay, let's test it first." Kunzhan nodded, the plan couldn't keep up with the changes.
At this time, there were fully armed cavalry stationed at the port. They were dispatched by HAD to maintain order and prevent the victims from rioting.
Kunzhan, Jesse and the others on the boat turned black when they saw these cavalrymen, and they all breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, they didn't make a fuss as originally planned, otherwise they would really be locked in that small dark room again, after all That HAD didn't give them any face last time.
"Leave the sails and enter the port."
Following Niu Da's order, all the boatmen on the ship ran up, quickly retracted the sails, and the ship slowly approached the port.
"anchor."
"Pfft!"
Anchors were thrown into the water one by one, pulling the ship to stop, and the 50-meter ship stopped firmly at the edge of the port. The skills of the boatmen became more and more proficient.
"Huh... finally here." Darlene let out a sigh of relief, looking at the familiar port, he was very impressed. Unexpectedly, after more than a month and a half, she finally returned to Sheba City.
"Catherine, I will definitely persuade Master HAD to send someone to rescue you." Darlene clenched her fists tightly, her face full of determination.
"Miss Darlene, the young master is below, let's go down quickly." Niu Da saw a familiar carriage at the port, and Miss Mina was still standing below.
"Okay." Darlene nodded. She didn't know why, but she also looked forward to seeing that good-looking Mr. HAD.
"Ta Tata..."
Darlene disembarked first, and Niu Da and the others maintained order. They had already seen many tables lined up at the port, presumably they were used for population registration.
"Everyone, line up, don't mess up, get off the boat one by one, we have someone to arrange for you to eat and live." Niu Da raised his voice.
"Yes." A collective cry came from the ship, the wide port had already conquered these disaster victims, maybe the cavalry below were more convincing.
Chapter 0558 The sheep enter the tiger's mouth!
"Dong dong dong..."
The crisp sound of horseshoes, the restless stepping of war horses, and the 50-meter-large ship approaching the port felt a little oppressive, not to mention the dense figures on board.
"Master, Darlene is here." Mina turned to the carriage and said, "Also, the Lord of Beifeng has also arrived."
"Garji~"
HAD pushed open the carriage door and stepped out. Looking at the figures on the more than 30 ships, the corners of his mouth could not help but rise. With such a large population, the speed of territorial construction will increase several times, especially the construction of the city wall. That's it.
"Wow, there are really many people." Annie followed behind HAD, looking at the densely packed victims, and said excitedly, "Now the plan can be sped up."
Mina looked at Annie's shining brown eyes, and couldn't help rolling her eyes. She knew why the Annie was so excited. With so many people, she could build the towering buildings on the drawing, and the steamed bun-like theater, etc. Although she is also looking forward to it.
"Ta Tata..."
Darlene trotted to HAD, followed by eight knights, escorting two large wooden boxes.
"Your Excellency HAD, I'm late." Darlene gave a noble salute, her face full of apology.
She lowered her head guiltily, ten or so days later than the scheduled time, this is a taboo in business, it will make people think that she ran away with the money, and it is also a kind of dishonesty, so she didn't explain too many reasons.
"Get up, this time you can help transport the victims, let's make up for it." HAD said calmly.
If Darlene hadn't helped transport the victims this time, I'm afraid Darlene would have been deducted a part of the coins. This was stated in the original contract. Friendship is friendship, and the rules still have to be followed.
"Thank you, Your Excellency HAD." Darlene raised her head, her blue eyes bent into crescent moons, and most of her uneasy heart relaxed.
"Ta Tata..."
Niu Da ran over with Avery, Gaba, and Xilan, and the four of them saluted HAD and respectfully said in unison, "Young Master (Master), the disaster victims have been brought back."
"Thank you." HAD smiled gently and asked, "How many victims are there?"
"My lord, there are 310 people in total." Sheeran flipped through the notepad and reported in a crisp voice, "On the way, 72 people fell ill, and all of them have recovered."
"Very good, Annie asked Buff to immediately arrange food and accommodation for the victims." HAD turned to Hu Erniang and said, "Priority will be given to the elderly and children, and those with special skills will be recorded."
"Okay." Annie immediately turned around and walked towards Buff, ordering the plan that had been made before.
"Lord HAD, the owner of Beifeng City has brought nearly 3000 victims here. What should we do?" Slash the opponent with a big sword.
"Oh? Is there such a good thing?" HAD was stunned for a moment, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised, looking at the Lord Beifeng who was walking towards him, or the fat man who was being carried over.
"Your Excellency HAD, long time no see." The Lord of Beifeng greeted with a smile.
"Your Excellency, Lord Beifeng, are you here to participate in tomorrow's auction?" HAD said calmly.
"Auction?" City Lord Beifeng was stunned for a moment, then nodded quickly, "Yes, I'm here to participate in the auction, and I brought some wheat, a thousand catties of wheat, to His Excellency HAD."
"Oh? I really want to thank the Lord of the North Wind for his generosity." HAD's mouth slightly lifted, knowing that the Lord of the North Wind came to disgust him.
After all, his plan has been mostly successful, and most of the market economy in Beifeng City has been emptied by him.As long as the Lord of Beifeng is not stupid, he will definitely think of resisting, but HAD didn't expect the other party to be so childish and boring.
"Sigh...Your Excellency HAD, don't think that a thousand catties of wheat is too little. The main reason is that we don't have much wheat left in Beifeng City."
The lord of Beifeng City had a mournful face and a sneer at the corner of his mouth, "No, I heard that His Excellency HAD showed great kindness in saving the victims. In order to prevent the victims from starving to death, I collected all the victims from the vicinity of Beifeng City and sent them to Your Excellency HAD. gone."
"Your Excellency HAD, don't you mind? The Lord of Beifeng's eyes are full of sarcasm. He is waiting for HAD to accept the move. Is he accepting it for the sake of face, or tearing his face?"
"No, of course I don't mind, and I would like to thank you for your kindness." HAD smiled at the corner of his mouth, his black eyes were staring at the fat face of Lord Beifeng meaningfully, and the smile at the corner of his mouth was more like a sneer.
"That, that's good." The smiling face of the North Wind City Lord gradually disappeared, and HAD's reaction was completely different from what he expected.
"Niu Da, take in those victims." HAD turned his head and told Niu Da.
"Yes." Niu Da saluted, and immediately went to arrange for someone to take in the victims.
"Your Excellency HAD, I'm entering the city." Beifeng City Lord cupped his hands, and with a flick of his sleeves, he was carried into Sheba City.
"Ta Tata..."
HAD looked at the Beifeng City Lord who was going away, his black eyes flashed with sarcasm, there are so many self-righteous people, it seems that the erosion plan of Beifeng City is about to speed up.
"Young Master, this North Wind City Lord is very rude." Mina's blue eyes flashed coldly.
"It's just a clown." HAD waved his hand indifferently. What the other party made him miss was the piles of wheat in the granary. This time, the other party actually came to Sheba City in person.
"Your Excellency HAD, many nobles and businessmen have come here this time, including the lobbyists of the three princes." Darlene reminded quickly, her blue eyes full of worry.
"It would be nice to have more fat sheep." HAD said with a light smile, he was afraid that no one would come, not that there would be many people coming.
"Fat sheep?" Darlene was stunned. What does this mean?Those nobles and merchants didn't bring fat sheep.
"Mina, tell the soldiers to be serious, those contraband items are not allowed to be brought into Sheba City." HAD turned his head and told Mao Er Niang.
He would not allow those nobles and merchants to bring a large number of fully armed knights into Sheba City. They would either leave their weapons behind or stay on board obediently.
"Yes." Mina turned and walked towards the inspecting soldiers. Those nobles were the most difficult to deal with.
"Let's put down the knight's sword? Are you kidding? The knight has no weapon? How can he be called a knight?"
"Knights are not allowed to carry weapons? Even the capital doesn't have such a rule, why? You guys are better at showing off than the knights in the capital?"
"Get out of the way quickly, we are going to the city to rest."
"Let your city lord come out, a little knight dares to stop me."
Chapter 0559 money can make ghosts turn the millstone.
The people who took the lead in the trouble were Kunzhan and Jesse. They brought more than a hundred knights, and they had to disarm them before they could enter the city. Didn't this make the tiger pull out its teeth and claws?
"My lord, is it something you can see if you want? This is the rule. Either store the knight's sword in the warehouse over there, and people can go in, or you can go and stay on the boat." The attitude of the ax was very tough. I am not afraid of these people messing around, nor are I afraid of these people leaving.
Who sat on the boat for so long and let them go without even entering the destination?How could he be willing to do this? The axe was aiming at this point, and his attitude was so tough.
Well, all of this was instructed by the city lord.
This time he is here to take over the entry channel. He doesn't have a good look at these nobles and businessmen, and he is not from Sheba City. He is not afraid of offending these hypocritical guys.
"Then what about our safety?" A businessman shouted loudly. They dare not be tough. Didn't they see that there were more than 300 knights over there?
"Our Sheba City has very good law and order. As long as you don't make trouble, it will be very safe." Axe replied indifferently.
"you..."
Many nobles and businessmen were furious. They understood the hidden meaning of the words of the bull Beastkin in front of them. If something happened, they must be causing trouble. In the end, they should blame them for what happened.
In fact, that's what the ax means. You are all nobles or big businessmen. Who will provoke you unless you have nothing to do to make trouble.
"Hurry up, those who don't want to go, get out of the way quickly, and make way for those who need it." The axe held the handle of the knife, with an expression of resentment, with the support of the city lord, he didn't have to give these things Save face.
"Terrible..." Many nobles gritted their teeth and glared at the axe, the bull Beastkin. If they were replaced by humans, they would not be so aggrieved.
When did the nobles in a small place dare to treat them like this?It is not enough to move out of identity.
"What should we do?" Jesse poked Kun Zhan's waist with his hand, and asked worriedly, "The knights won't let him enter the city, we can't force that HAD."
"How can you force it? Didn't you see the knights over there? There are more people than us." Kunzhan said angrily.
The plan was stillborn before it started, which made the two of them itch with hatred. Could it be that the task entrusted by the fourth prince failed like this?Then when the fourth prince arrives, he must not be beaten to death.
"Then what should we do? Are we going to stay on the boat?" Jessie was stunned for a moment, and said eagerly, "But we don't have much wheat left, so we have to go to the city to buy some wheat."
"Stay on the boat, thank you for wanting to get it." Kun Zhan rolled his eyes and said helplessly, "Let the knights stay on the boat, we can bring a few people in, we have to find a chance to get in touch with that HAD, and pass on the words of the fourth prince to the Just do it."
"Okay, then I'll arrange it." Jessie nodded, and immediately went to arrange the knights on the boat.
In the end, under the awe of more than 300 cavalry, Jesse, Kunzhan and the noble merchants all succumbed, leaving a large number of knights to guard the ships, and the others went to Sheba City after crossing the border and entering the port.
The envoy Shi Mi sent by the first prince and the envoy Jin Dun sent by the second prince also passed through the border. Both of them were relatively low-key, and they didn't want each other to find out. After all, they all came here for the secret recipe of perfume.
"Master Shi Mi, are we going to find that HAD today?" the knight asked in a deep voice.
"Well, it's better to get in touch early so that you won't be attacked in advance." Shi Mi said coldly, and he glanced at Jesse and Kunzhan who were walking in front. He knew these two idiots, and they must be the Four Princes. here.
"As long as this HAD is not stupid, he will definitely dedicate the secret recipe of perfume to the eldest prince." The knight boasted.
"You still have to pay attention to the people sent by the second prince. You must not let the second prince's people take the lead." Shi Mi said coldly. The second prince is the biggest competitor of the first prince. If the other party gets the perfume, he would rather destroy Even if it is dropped, it cannot fall into the hands of the second prince.
"Understood, my subordinate immediately arranged for someone to go down and whistle." The knight said respectfully.
"..."
At this time, Kington already knew who the emissary sent by the eldest prince was, and he had already made people keep an eye on Shi Mi. He observed Shi Mi's actions in the dark.
As for the two people sent by the fourth prince, he didn't care at all. Those two high-profile people who did stupid things were not on the same level as him and Shi Mi.
His plan is similar to that of Shi Mi's, to contact HAD secretly, so as not to make it known to everyone, and not to be stalked by others. Too high a profile will only kill him faster.
"Ta Tata..."
A team of thousands of people flocked to Sheba City. These people were all businessmen and nobles. The victims were still receiving arrangements at the port. If the ax hadn't restricted most of the people, there would probably be more than 4000 to people entering Sheba City.
"Your Excellency HAD, it seems that your port is not big enough." Darlene looked at the ships that were parked at the port, and these hundreds of ships took up all the ports.
"In a month or two, I'm afraid that there will be too few ships." HAD smiled lightly. He has no shortage of people now, and the expansion of the port can be put on the agenda.This time, more than 1 disaster victims came, a real labor force.
"Your Excellency HAD, I don't understand something." Darlene frowned.
"Let's talk while walking." HAD got into the carriage, and Buff and others were arranging the scene, so he went back to the castle at ease.
"Okay." Darlene was not coquettish, and followed HAD into the carriage, followed by Annie and Mina.
"What do you want to say?" HAD turned his head and looked at the dense crowd, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised. These are the roots of Sheba City's prosperity.
"Your Excellency HAD, you've saved so many victims, aren't you afraid that there won't be enough wheat to eat?" Darlene asked a question that she had always been concerned about. From what she knew, the wheat harvest in Sheba City didn't seem to be able to support the consumption of so many people.
"Have you ever heard a saying?" HAD turned his head to look at Darlene's delicate face, and said with a light smile, "Money can turn ghosts around, as long as there are coins, don't be afraid of running out of wheat."
A large part of his tomorrow's auction is to make money to buy wheat, pay some things that don't matter to him, and earn a lot of gold coins. He will let the owner of Beifeng City obediently hand over the wheat.
When he asked Niu Da and others to rescue the victims, he had already thought of holding an auction. It just so happened that Wangdu had a large number of merchants and nobles, all of whom were rich.
Chapter 0560 Each has a ghost.
"Money can turn ghosts around? What does that mean?" Darlene heard this for the first time.
"Uh..." HAD was stunned, almost forgetting that there is no stone mill in this world, and calmly said, "I can't explain it clearly now, but I will know later."
"Oh." Darlene pouted. Isn't this too perfunctory, or is it that His Excellency HAD can't explain it himself?
"Ta Tata..."
The carriage continued to move forward, there was noise from outside from time to time, everyone was crowded on the road, and the speed of the carriage was very slow.
"Annie, after you go back, immediately arrange for people to expand this road and turn it into two-way eight-lane lanes." HAD turned his head and told Annie.
The driveway he mentioned was calculated according to the size of the carriage, that is, one side should be enough for eight carriages to drive together. He decided to separate the left and right sides so that they would not be blocked.
"Okay." Annie moved her head away from the carriage window, took out a notepad and began to write.
"It seems that shops will start to be built around the port." HAD looked at the merchants carrying boxes outside, thinking that there were either goods or money inside.
"Ta Tata..."
The carriage quickly passed the people walking on two feet alone, there were too many people, and the rental carriage in Sheba City could not pull many people.
"Bah~"
Kunzhan and Jesse were walking hard, looking at the carriage going away, their teeth itching with hatred. The carriage was very luxurious, and they knew who was sitting in it.
The last time they came to Sheba City, they were either locked up in a small black house or thrown into the mining area to mine, so they still don't know what the owner of Sheba City looks like.
After walking for 10 minutes, they came to the outside of Sheba City. Looking at the ruined city wall, everyone was stunned.
"What happened here? Didn't the city walls still exist last time?" Kunzhan asked in a daze. Now, at a glance, there was only a lonely city gate left.
"Those people seem to be tearing down the city wall." Jesse pointed to the person who was smashing the dirt wall not far away.
"Could it be to rebuild the city wall?" Kun Zhan frowned. He didn't expect the city lord of Sheba to be so courageous that he even smashed the city wall and rebuilt it.
"It seems that the perfume has made the other party a lot of money." Jesse said coldly, a hint of greed flashed in his eyes. After he got the secret formula of the perfume, he wanted to secretly make and sell it.
"Even the city walls are gone. When someone attacks, how do you think the other party will resist the impact of the knight's iron cavalry?" Kunzhan's face is full of gloomy smile.
"It seems that today's task should not be difficult." Jessie immediately understood what Kunzhan meant, that is to use force to threaten the Sheba City Lord to hand over the secret recipe of perfume.
"Let's go." Kunzhan waved his hand and strode towards the city, followed by Jesse.
The accelerated speed of the two immediately attracted the attention of Shi Mi and Kington. After a little thought, they knew why they were so eager.
"Follow up quickly, don't let those two idiots get ahead." Shi Mi immediately ordered his subordinates to follow up. He was afraid that the Lord of Sheba City was a short-sighted person, and would be fooled by the fourth prince's subordinates. The secret recipe was handed over.
"Follow them." Kington's face was ugly, his thoughts coincided with Shi Mi, and his idea was to slowly plan the secret recipe of perfume. The actions of the two parties forced him to expose himself.
The three parties hurried on their way, and quickly left the large troops behind. After entering Sheba City, although Shi Mi and Kington were amazed by the cleanliness and neat buildings in the city, they didn't have time to stay for the secret recipe of perfume. Ornamental.
In the end, the three parties all stopped in front of the castle gate, and everyone recognized who the other was.
"Hmph, I didn't expect the eldest prince to send Viscount Smith this time." Jesse looked at the thin bamboo pole Smith with a cold face.
"Viscount Kington, the second prince even sent you here. It seems that everyone has ideas about perfume." Kun Zhan said lightly. He knew that the eldest prince and the second prince would send someone. Both parties forced out.
"Barbarians." Shi Migao raised his head, looking at people with his nostrils.
"I don't know if the fourth prince is dazzled, but he sent you here." Jin Dun said in a strange way. He looked down on the fourth prince's subordinates very much, and thought that the eldest prince was the opponent of the second prince, including his subordinates.
"Everyone, please leave. The gate of the city lord's mansion is not a market. It's not for you to argue. If you want to argue, go to another place."
"Bold." Shi Mi was upset when he heard it, and turned around and shouted, "Do you know who I am? How dare you talk to me like that?"
"Yo? I don't know who you are, but if you continue to be so arrogant and domineering, then you will come with me." Deess walked out of the city lord's mansion with the Overlord Spear, and looked at Shi Mi with an unkind expression. , It looks like if there is a disagreement, people will be arrested and sent to the small black room.
"Ahem..." Kunzhan and Jesse subconsciously stepped back when they saw Deess. They knew the ferocity of this bull Beastkin.
"Uh..." From the corner of his eyes, Shi Mi saw the movements of Jesse and the two of them, and put down his hands embarrassingly. The person who can be selected by the eldest prince to come to Sheba City has an IQ above the line.
"Hmph, be honest, this is the city lord's mansion, I want to quarrel and go home." Teess said coldly, and went to patrol the streets with her Overlord gun. Many people entered the city today, and she was going to maintain order.
"You..." Shi Mi gritted his teeth, looked at the Niujiao Niang who was going away, just happened to see the regretful expressions of Jesse and the two, and knew that he was right in not causing trouble just now.
"Little brother, please inform me that the second prince's emissary, Jin Dun, is visiting the Lord of Sheba City." Jin Dun said gently to the guarding knight.
"And I, Shi Mi, the emissary of the eldest prince." Shi Mi shouted with a dark face.
"Kunzhan, and Jesse, we are the envoys of the fourth prince, and we also visited Sheba City Lord." Kunzhan said coldly, now it depends on who is received first, whoever is eligible to get the secret recipe of the perfume.
"Wait." The guard left a sentence, turned around and ran into the castle, he was still a little nervous, unexpectedly there were envoys from three princes visiting the Lord, which made the guard admire him very much.
Chapter 0561 Darlene's plea.
"Boom bang bang..."
The knock on the door made HAD who had just sat down stunned for a moment, and shouted, "Come in."
"Gag!"
The door of the study was pushed open, and the guard stood at the door, lowering his head and reporting, "My lord, there are several groups of people claiming to be the envoys of the three princes, and they are begging to see you."
"Oh?" HAD raised his eyebrows, turned to look at Darlene, and after she nodded for confirmation, he said, "Take them to the living room."
"Yes." The guard replied respectfully, closed the study door and trotted away.
"It's interesting." HAD's black eyes flickered, and everything was similar to what he predicted. Sure enough, someone in the capital was eyeing his goods. He guessed that those people must be eyeing the more profitable perfume.
"Young master, what should we do? The three princes actually sent envoys here. This is not a good person." Annie said anxiously, her fox ears pricked up.
She used to be a princess, and she knew the weight of a prince. To put it bluntly, a baron like a nobleman is not even worthy to carry shoes for a prince. This time there are still three princes, although they are only envoys.
"What should I do?" HAD said with a smile on the corner of his mouth, "Don't be nervous, it's the emissary of the three princes, and it's not the arrival of the real prince."
Even if the real prince came, he might not take it to heart. Now that the population he wants has come, the soldiers can expand again, and the development of the territory is faster. He is really not afraid of a prince.
"Your Excellency HAD, they should be rushing for those goods." Darlene answered.
"Except for those goods, there is nothing attractive here except for the Beastkin." HAD raised the corner of his mouth and said calmly, "Tell me about the situation of the three princes."
"Okay." Darlene immediately narrated to HAD according to the information she knew, "The most important thing to pay attention to is the eldest prince Lucia and the second prince Greener..."
She told about the fight between the princes in the capital, and the situation that Catherine was going to marry, and finally asked HAD to send someone to the capital to save her.
"Oh? You mean Catherine, who might marry the eldest prince Lucia?" HAD narrowed his black eyes slightly. This result was completely unexpected.
He thought of that playful girl, and he didn't expect to be forced to marry someone he didn't like, and asked him to save others, which made him have to think more, after all, his EQ is not low.
"Yes, Your Excellency HAD, I am willing not to share the gold coins this time. Please take Catherine away from the capital. She will not be happy marrying that hypocritical prince." Darlene begged, The blue eyes trembled.
"Go to the capital to save people." HAD stroked his chin, thought for a while, and said, "You can take the gold coins I gave you. Catherine is my friend no matter what. Helping friends is the right thing to do."
He still doesn't like the little gold coins that were distributed to Darlene, didn't he see the pleading eyes of Nicole next to him?This Catherine is very popular in the castle, and she can be regarded as a friend of the beast-eared lady, how could he refuse to save her.
"Thank you, Your Excellency HAD." Darlene stood up with joy in her eyes, and quickly performed a noble salute, her heart was relieved, Catherine was saved this time.
"Let's go, let's see what demands those people will make." HAD got up and walked to the living room, so that he could once again see the shamelessness of the nobles.
Mina, Nicole, Darlene, and Annie followed behind HAD. They also wanted to see what the other party would ask for.
"Tap..."
When HAD came to the living room with the four girls, he felt a few sharp eyes from us, which made the smile on his face even bigger.
"Welcome to be some guests." HAD said lightly, and stepped to sit on the main seat.
"Hmph..." Kunzhan snorted coldly, they had been waiting for a long time.
"Your Excellency HAD is very busy. He didn't even have time to pay attention to the prince's envoy. This is the first time I have seen such a courageous person as Your Excellency HAD." Shi Mi said coldly, he wanted to use his power to overwhelm others at the beginning.
"That's right. After all, we have to feed so many people, and we don't have time to take care of ordinary things." HAD answered with a light smile, as if he couldn't understand the meaning of Shi Mi's words.
"Uh..." Shi Mi's face darkened. Did he mean that their visit was nothing but business?
"I see that the walls of Sheba City are gone. Isn't Your Excellency HAD afraid that someone will suddenly attack?" Kun Zhan answered with squinted eyes. This is a wave of probing, not just testing HAD.
"Oh? Will someone attack? I seem to have caught a few sneaking mice a few days ago, and they have been roasted and eaten by his subordinates." HAD quietly looked at Kun Zhan with his black eyes, and his fierce temperament made him Kunzhan didn't dare to look at him.
"Ahem..." Kunzhan and Jesse froze. Are they saying they are mice?
"Your Excellency HAD, why are there so many Beastkin in your territory, aren't you afraid of any accidents?" Kington said something, he was trying to provoke the relationship between HAD and the Beastkin.
"..." Annie and Mina gritted their silver teeth slightly, and looked at Kington with dark faces. If eyes could kill, Kington would have been torn to pieces, and dared to provoke their relationship with the young master.
"Your Excellency has worried too much, and the Beastkin haven't eaten a bite of your barley porridge, so I don't need to bother you." HAD said calmly, he could see that these people wanted to take the initiative in the conversation.
"Uh..." Kington's face darkened. Did he mean that he was too full to meddle in his own business?
"Everyone, if you're here to chat with me, I'm going to finish lunch first, and then come to chat with everyone." HAD sneered, not wanting to argue with these people anymore.
"My name is Shi Mi, and I am the emissary sent by the eldest prince. As long as Your Excellency HAD presents the secret recipe of perfume to the eldest prince." Shi Mi raised his head and said proudly, "The eldest prince promises that when he ascends the throne, he will To promote Your Excellency, at least a viscount, even an earl is very possible."
"Hey..." Kington sneered, "Don't be kidding, the second prince will be on the throne."
He turned his head to HAD and said seriously, "The second prince said that as long as the person who contributes the secret recipe of perfume, after he becomes king, he will at least be an earl."
"Our fourth prince, you can give him the title of Marquis." Jessie shouted with wide eyes.
Anyway, who wouldn't brag?As long as you get the secret recipe of the perfume first, everyone present understands that it is unknown who will ascend to the throne, and they are betting who HAD will believe.
"Everyone, please." HAD pointed to the door of the living room, calmly said, "If you haven't woken up, everyone, go back and have a good rest."
Chapter 0562 Can You Buy It?
"Take a good rest?" Jesse was stunned, and Smith and the others froze, looking at each other.
In the next second, all of them realized that their faces were as black as charcoal. Isn't this an obvious irony that they were daydreaming?
"Pfft..." Annie burst out laughing, her fox ears kept shaking, the young master's poisonous tongue was much more poisonous than hers.
"Cough cough cough..." Mina coughed twice, the cat's tail circled happily, the smile on the corner of her mouth was very obvious, but the blue eyes were full of murderous intent.
These few people really don't know what to do, do they really think that the young master is at their mercy?She was wondering whether to kill these people in private.
Darlene's complexion glanced at Kunzhan and the others. Are you coaxing a child?So naive words can also be said.She also saw His Excellency HAD's wit and vicious tongue today, and he is also very black-bellied.
The sarcastic person is very elegant, full of aristocratic temperament, not as angry as the few people in front of him.
"Master, there are no guest rooms in the castle anymore." Nicole replied even more darkly. She had long been disgusted with the arrogance of Smith and the others, and she would not let go of the opportunity to embarrass these people.
"Cough, cough, cough..." The people present were choked, God damn it, they want to sleep.
"This is negotiable, as long as you can contribute the secret recipe of the perfume, everything can be discussed." Shi Mi said a little embarrassedly, this trick he used, as long as he played the banner of the big prince in the capital, he would succeed every time.
Whoever's daughter he fell in love with, as long as the identity of the eldest prince is brought out, the other party can only obediently send it to her door, but today, it is completely ineffective in front of this remote baron.
"How do you want to hand over the secret recipe of the perfume? Tell me, what are the conditions?" Kington was a little impatient. There were two other people present today, and he couldn't say harsh words or threats, otherwise the secret recipe of the perfume would be handed over. Push to the opponent.
"Any conditions are acceptable?" HAD narrowed his black eyes and glanced coldly at Kun Zhan, Jesse, Smith and others.
"As long as it's not too much, I can agree to come down instead of the second prince." Jin Dun beamed, and finally saw HAD loosen.
"Is it okay to take your life?" HAD's mouth was slightly raised, full of jokes.
"Pfft..." Jin Dun spurted out the water he just drank, and looked at HAD dumbfounded, with blue veins popping up on his forehead.
"Just kidding." HAD's faint voice immediately made Kington's anger nowhere to vent.
"This joke is not funny at all." Kington gritted his teeth and spoke with a look of hatred.
He was really scared. If he got the secret recipe of the perfume to kill him, based on his knowledge of the second prince, he would definitely not hesitate at all, and would immediately send someone to cut off his head as a deal.
"We can buy the secret recipe of perfume, please make a price." Kunzhan interjected.This is a trick given to him by the fourth prince. If the other party is not interested, you can buy it with coins first, and then settle the score slowly later.
All the people present looked at HAD together, they could tell that HAD was simply teasing them, and he had no intention of flattering the prince, let alone giving him the secret recipe of perfume.
"Buy? Can you afford it?" HAD crossed his hands, raised his eyelids slightly, and looked lazy.
"Tell me, what's the price?" Kun Zhan gritted his teeth, he saw the disdain on HAD's face, he was actually despised.
"How popular the perfume is, you can see it from the requirements of your door-to-door visits today." HAD said in a calm and forceful tone, "Not to mention my enhanced version of perfume, which is not comparable to the inferior perfume of the fourth prince. , since you guys want to buy it?"
"This..." Darlene was stunned for a moment, and her delicate face was immediately filled with anxiety. She poked HAD's thigh under the table with her small hand, and wrote on the leg: Can't sell.
Darlene's thigh was suddenly scratched by HAD, which made him tremble, and he couldn't help reaching out to hold Darlene's little hand under the table to prevent her from moving.
The little hand was caught, Darlene's blue eyes opened slightly, her cheeks involuntarily turned red, and her wrist struggled slightly, seeing that she couldn't break away from HAD's hand, she had no choice but to hold back her little hand ashamedly.
Mina glanced at Darlene strangely. She didn't believe that the young master would sell the secret recipe of the perfume. Didn't you see that Annie and Nicole were very calm?And a little bit of a laugh.
"What's the price?" Shi Mi urged, he also brought a lot of gold coins over this time, and he planned to buy it with gold coins if he couldn't get the secret recipe of perfume for free.
"It's not expensive, and it's very cheap." HAD said calmly, "You only need to take 30 gold coins, and you can take away the secret recipe of perfume for 0..."
"Pfft..." Kington spurted out the saliva that he was about to swallow. Is this cheap?
"Cough, cough, cough..." Shi Mi choked, and stared at HAD dumbfounded.
"30 gold coins? Why don't you rob the treasury?" Jesse stood up, and if he hadn't seen the saber in the hands of the cat-eared lady, he would have wanted to curse.
"Your Excellency HAD, stop joking." Kunzhan said with a dark face, and bought 30 gold coins for the secret recipe of perfume. No one believed what HAD said was true, and they all thought he was joking.
"A joke?" HAD said with a hint of coldness on the corner of his mouth, "I'm not joking. The secret recipe for perfume is 30 gold coins. Whoever has the gold coins can take it away."
Is the secret recipe of perfume worth 30 gold coins?The value is definitely worth it, it can be said to be very cheap, but that is from HAD's perspective.
But in the eyes of Kunzhan, Jesse, Kington, and Smith, this price is simply a robbery, or money from the treasury. In their view, spending thousands of gold coins to buy the secret recipe of perfume is already a sky-high price up.
"Hmph! It seems that Your Excellency HAD has no sincerity at all." Kington stood up and said coldly, turned around and left with his hands.
"Your Excellency HAD, I am willing to pay five thousand gold coins for the secret recipe of perfume." Shi Mi said, holding back his anger.
"Please, don't give it away." HAD raised his hand to the door of the living room to indicate that he can go. Five thousand gold coins want to buy the secret recipe of perfume. Is this out of his mind?
"This price has always been valid. If you figure it out, please send someone to inform me." Smith left this sentence and left angrily.
"HAD, the fourth prince is coming to the west, you should know what this means?" Kunzhan stood up and said indifferently, before leaving, he glanced at Darlene.
"Seize the opportunity." Jessie sneered, he thought HAD was a bit over his head and took himself too seriously, isn't it just a secret recipe of perfume.
"Interesting, it seems that they brought a lot of coins." HAD smiled, and his black eyes gleamed coldly.
The fourth prince is coming to the west, and it seems that it is difficult to find peace for a while.
Chapter 0563 Alien version of the tea house.
"Ta Tata..."
When Shi Mi and Kington left the castle, they looked at each other, let out a cold 'hum', turned and left, if not for the presence of the other party, they would have killed that HAD today.
"Heh, these two groups of people still want to come here." Kunzhan sneered. From the capital to here, these two groups of people have hidden their identities, and they know their purpose without even thinking about it.
"What should we do now?" Jessie's expression turned ugly, and the task failed. She didn't expect that HAD couldn't get in, and it was useless even to move out the fourth prince.
"Don't worry, those two groups didn't get the secret recipe of the perfume anyway, so we have a chance." Kunzhan waved his hand and said coldly, "Send someone to keep an eye on them, we must get the secret recipe of the perfume first."
Today's behavior can be regarded as a test, and now they also know HAD's attitude, that is, it is not obvious, it can only be yin, and they want 30 gold coins.
"I'll arrange someone to watch them." Jessie nodded, as long as the first and second princes don't get the secret recipe of perfume, it's better than anything else.
"Let's find a place to rest first." Kun Zhan sighed. He thought it was an easy task, but he didn't expect to meet a young nobleman who didn't know how to understand.
"The food in that restaurant last time was very good, where else should we go?" Jesse thought of the food he ate at Zuixiao Restaurant last time.
"Alright." Kunzhan licked the corner of his mouth, he also thought of the delicious food in Zuixiaolou.
The two led the knights towards the Zuixiao Building, halfway there they saw a lot of people around a shop door, most of them were nobles and businessmen.
"What are these people doing?" Jesse frowned. He recognized the people around the shop door, weren't they the nobles and businessmen who came with them?
Among the nobles who came together, many of them were the spokespersons of the great nobles. They just avoided the spokespersons of a few princes and avoided direct conflicts, but they still aimed at HAD's goods, even the secret recipe of perfume.
"Teahouse?" Kunzhan looked up at the plaque on the shop and asked in astonishment, "Could it be a place dedicated to drinking bitter tea?"
"It's too expensive. The cheapest one costs 880 eight copper coins for a pot of tea. The better ones cost only one silver coin. It's a money grab."
"However, those nobles said it was delicious, let's try it next time? I don't know if it is bitter tea."
"Didn't the guy just say that? It's called green tea."
"..."
Jesse and Kunzhan listened to the discussions of passing businessmen, looked at each other and walked towards the teahouse. They wanted to try the tea, but it was so expensive.
"Ta Tata..."
"Welcome to the teahouse."
As soon as Jessie and Kunzhan entered the teahouse, they heard a clear female voice. When they turned their heads, they saw a row of girls standing at the door, wearing exquisite costumes. It was more like the noble lady than the waiter.
"Is it the two of you? Do you have an appointment?" A waiter immediately stepped forward and asked.
"You two, I don't have an appointment." Kunzhan said hastily, he was amazed, and the makeup of the girl at the door made him feel that this place is high-end.
"Please follow me, both of you." The waiter politely led the way.
This teahouse only opened yesterday, and these waiters were also trained urgently, and some of them were drawn from the intelligence organization, so their usefulness is self-evident.
"Okay." Jesse was a little cautious, the floor was covered with wooden boards, and the walls were also decorated with hollowed out wooden boards, which was very delicate. Compared with the rough decoration of his home, he found that his house was not as good as a teahouse.
"Two, please sit here." The waiter led the two to the table by the window, and after the two sat down, he handed over the menu in his hand and said, "This is the tea from our teahouse. You can take a look at it." ."
