Chapter 329 Friends

Before dawn, the morning light slowly faded the blackness of the sky in a soft light purple and fish-belly white, and the cool wind slowly brought in. After a while, the golden sun gradually burst into thousands of rays.

When Han Shuo and Doakes returned to Brettle City, they were surprised to find that a team of knights from Valkland had also just arrived. From their bodies, Han Shuo could see some traces of fighting, and even a few People disappear forever.

Doakes rode a weak war horse obtained from the bandits, and followed Han Shuo into Brettle City without haste. First of all, two very intimidating magic crystal cannons on the city wall came into view. Not only was the city wall trimmed clean and bright, but the height of the city was also increased. From a distance, Doakes felt that the city of Brettle was a bit magnificent.

Nodding secretly, Doakes turned his head to look in surprise at Han Shuo, who entered the city quickly with a gloomy expression. He understood that the change in Brettle City was entirely due to the new city lord.

"What's going on? Could something have happened again? What about the merchants and the batch of war equipment?" Han Shuo floated over like a ghost, and his cold shout came with the cool morning wind, scaring the still-shocked Falkeland. one jump.

After Falkeland turned his head and saw that it was Han Shuo, he breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly straightened his body to explain: "My lord, there was indeed an accident on the road. Our torches in the dark attracted the robbers wandering in the middle of the night." Fortunately, that area is close to Tali Mountain, and before the large-scale robbers arrived, the leader of the mountain people, Forcarin, came down to help us, and the merchants and war equipment were safe and sound, but three knights died."

I heard that the merchants and the equipment for defending the city are there. Han Shuo's hanging heart slowly calmed down. He looked at Falkeland and nodded. His tone softened a bit, and he said, "The dead knight was buried properly. Before the Seven Principalities arrive at Bretel City, our first task is to wipe out all the bandits around."

"Your Majesty, don't worry, I, Fakeland, promise to avenge my brothers!" Fakeland said firmly. Pulling out his saber and pointing at the sky, he made a solemn oath.

Doakes rode a weak war horse, approaching this side with the sound of "stamping". When he came all the way, Doakes had already carefully looked at the surrounding defensive measures, and there was thoughtful thinking in his eyes. Waiting for him to come to Han Shuo. Only then did he focus on Han Shuo as he patrolled the surroundings, and suggested, "Before Brettle City and Hailan City, there were a total of seventeen bandit groups, large and small. Excluding the five bandits that you annihilated last night, there are still There are twelve of them, these bandits are not big but they are as annoying as flies, I think you should wipe them out first, otherwise the safety of the merchants will not be guaranteed in the future."

"My lord, are all those greedy robbers dead?" Fakeland heard Doakes say this. asked.

Nodding his head, Han Shuo replied: "That's right, those five bandits are done. Well,

Let me introduce you, this is Doakes from Imperial Military College, maybe you have heard some stories about him before, and he is your colleague from today. No one is allowed to mention the identity of the fugitive in the future. "

"Yes, Lord City Master!" Falkeland replied immediately, looking at Doakes with some admiration, but he didn't ask Han Shuo Doakes how he joined Brettle City. This time, from the looting to the transaction, it was all planned by this person, and Doakes took the initiative from the beginning to the end. Playing with their group in applause. Even Han Shuo finally handed over 50,000 gold coins to the important person. This person's wisdom is indeed amazing.

"From the 3,000 knights you trained, transfer 1,000 people to Doakes, and Doakes will be the captain!" Han Shuo gave orders to Falkeland, and then stared at Doakes: "Many Max, wipe out the remaining twelve bandit groups between Brettle City and Hailan City!"

Doakes, who got off the weak horse, gave a standard military salute to Han Shuo, and said concisely: "Yes."

Nodding his head, Han Shuo looked at Falkeland again, and said, "This batch of transported city defense equipment will be handed over to you for assembly to the appropriate positions. During this time, you can handle this matter well for me. , and give me the city of Bretel to take good care of, and prepare to deal with the possible attacks of the bandits and the Seven Principalities at any time."

"Your Majesty, don't worry, with this batch of equipment for defending the city, anyone who dares to go to Brettle City to earn money, I will make him pay in blood." Fakeland assured.

"Well, by the way, where have you arranged those businessmen?" Han Shuo suddenly remembered the long-lost chubby Jack and Fu Binen, and asked Falkeland.

"They are all arranged in the mansion of the city lord. The mansion of the lord of the city is big enough, and the security is second to none in the city of Bretel, so those distinguished merchants are arranged there." Fakeland replied.

"You did a good job. I won't pursue your negligence. Dokes has just arrived in Brettle City. Take him to familiarize himself with the various places in Brettle City, and put a thousand soldiers under his leadership." Han Shuo gave some instructions, nodded to Doakes, and left from the gate of the city.

After a while, Han Shuo appeared in the city lord's mansion, where dozens of people were arranged. Those merchants fell into a deep sleep like dead pigs after being shocked. Occasionally, one or two of them were awakened by nightmares during the day, covered in cold sweat .

Fatty Jack from Buster's Firm, hugging a pillow desperately with both hands, the corner of his mouth was full of the sound of sleeping. Han Shuo walked up to Little Fatty Jack silently, and looked at his ugly sleeping appearance with a knowing look Smile.

In the Undead Department of the Babylon School of Magic and Martial Arts, Han Shuo still remembered that he and the little fatty Jack mopped the floor quickly with a broom. I still remember fighting with him and other students of the Undead Department...

After more than two years, Little Fatty Jack has not changed much. He is still so simple and honest, but his body is getting more and more fat. What has changed is Han Shuo himself. In more than two years, Han Shuo has grown from a handyman of the undead system to a point where no one dares to underestimate his intelligence or strength.

In the fierce battle again and again. Han Shuo's physical magic skills and mental strength grew rapidly, and Han Shuo wandered between life and death many times. After breakthroughs again and again, he became a city lord with the title of earl, and the little fat man who was greedy for food and money all day long was still working as a cashier in the Buster firm.

"This kid eats and drinks deliciously at the Booth Chamber of Commerce, and he won't encounter any danger. Phoebe will take special care of him for my sake. Although his childhood is not exciting, I'm afraid it is quite nourishing!" Han Shuo looked at the sleeping fat man drooling, smiling and talking to himself.

Han Shuo didn't wake up the sleeping chubby Jack. Han Shuo looked at Jack through the window for a while, and then prepared to leave for the time being, and talk about it after they slept well.

Han Shuo, who had only walked a few steps, suddenly heard a loud cry coming from Fu Binen's room next to him. Han Shuo entered Fu Binen's room like a ghost, and suddenly found that Fu Binen sat up from the bed dripping with sweat, with lingering fear on his face. It turned out that he had a terrible nightmare.

Seeing Han Shuo coming in suddenly, Fu Binen, who had just woken up from a nightmare, yelled again. After he found out that it was Han Shuo, he stopped his panicked shouting. Showing an ugly smile to Han Shuo, he said a little embarrassedly: "I have been used to following the young lady for a few years, but when I encountered a dangerous change, I realized that I was more and more afraid of death. Maybe it's because I am getting older and no longer Longing for a magnificent adventure, I just want to live a peaceful life in peace and stability!"

Speaking to Fu Binen, Han Shuo recalled the scene when he first met him. Showing a relaxed smile, Han Shuo found a chair and sat down on his own, and said to Fu Binen: "Life is like this, if you want to get more wealth and a more prominent position, you have to pay more danger. Hehe, this time you encountered such an accident. It was because of my negligence. Fortunately, everyone is fine, otherwise I really wouldn't be able to forgive myself."

Among these people. Except for Fu Binen and Jack, the other merchants only care about Han Shuo because they are beneficial to him. If those merchants die, Han Shuo will only regret it, and immediately try to make up for the trust they may have with other merchants after their death. crisis.

However, Han Shuo has feelings for Jack and Fu Binen, especially Jack, who was Han Shuo's best friend when he had nothing. If Han Shuo died because of Han Shuo's negligence, he would not be able to forgive himself. Will be crushed by self-blame.

Fu Binen looked at the stalwart young man who was over 1.9 meters tall in front of him, and tried to blend it with the thin shadow of the dark forest, but found that he couldn't overlap even though he was alone. This was not because of the change in body shape and height. Time can change everything. Fu Binen couldn't help feeling that he was becoming less and less courageous as he grew older, but Han Shuo who was opposite him had grown from a teenager to a young man that no one dared to underestimate.

Han Shuo, who is becoming more and more powerful, has gradually emerged in the upper class of the empire. His Majesty the King dared to let him take over the mess of Brettle City. honed. Fu Binen looked at the young man in front of him with deep eyes who were increasingly unable to understand his inner thoughts, and suddenly had a flash of enlightenment.

"This is a letter that Miss Phoebe asked me to deliver to you personally." Fu Binen took out a letter printed with a rose background and a faint fragrance, and handed it to Han Shuo with a little respect.

"Okay, old Fubinn, you can continue to rest. Those frightened merchants still need you to wake up and help calm them down! Brettle City is full of businesses, and the cooperation with major commercial firms will be closer in the future. In short supply of weapons and equipment, there will also be a continuous supply of food and medicine in the future, so I still need to trouble you." Han Shuo put away the fragrant letter and said to Fu Binen with a smile.

"Hehe, based on the relationship between you and Miss Phoebe, Buster Firm will definitely support Brettle City with all its strength." Fu Binen understood the relationship between the two in his heart, and blinked at Han Shuo without losing his sense of humor. Just a joke.

"Of course, I won't treat Buster Company badly, er, including your President Phoebe!" Han Shuo said with a smile, and walked out of Fubin En's room with a happy expression. The open door After Han Shuo's body walked away, he was slowly carried by a force.

"He's getting better and better. Miss is worthy of being a real businessman. He knows how to invest everything in before he accomplishes a major event. It seems that Buster Firm will be more brilliant in Miss's hands!" Looking at Wufeng, he automatically Close the door to the room. Fu Binen murmured thoughtfully.

"Phoebe, Phoebe, I received your yearning!" In Han Shuo's own room. After reading the fragrant letter, Han Shuo muttered to himself with a doting smile. Amidst the beaming joy, the city lord's mansion in the center was full of laughter.

The Food Festival is not a big festival in the Lancelot Empire, but because the merchants arrived in Brettle City unharmed. In addition, Han Shuo wanted to convey some information through their mouths, so he attached great importance to this food festival.

Rows of long tables more than ten meters long were put together in front of the gate of the City Lord's Mansion. All kinds of exquisite snacks and steaming hot delicious food were sent out from the opened gate of the City Lord's Mansion. Any civilian in Brettle City Feel free to eat these free treats to your heart's content.

The civilians who heard the news went from being suspicious at the beginning to going crazy later. The transition time did not exceed ten seconds, and the knights in shining armor maintained order politely with smiles on their faces.

In the city lord's mansion, more exquisite food was placed on the luxurious sandalwood round table. The merchants who had escaped from death enjoyed it to their heart's content under Dick's hospitality, among which Fu Binen of Buster's business seemed to be half of them. Master, help Han Shuo entertain these guests from afar. With laughter and laughter, they stuffed the gold coins they deserved for the chariot equipment they sent this time into their palms.

The businessmen who received the rewards were even more smiling, and they were full of praise for Han Shuo, who was gentle and smiling, and declared that this business was just a good start, as long as Han Shuo needed anything, he would send it in an endless stream.

"Everyone, everybody..." Han Shuo, who was holding a crystal cup filled with red wine, resounded loudly throughout the audience, and the profit-seeking businessman felt happy when he got the reward. One by one stopped chatting happily, looked at the extraordinary Han Shuo with a smile, and waited for Han Shuo's next words.

When the noise gradually subsided, Han Shuo said with a smile: "Everyone, this business is just the beginning. Brettle City needs a steady stream of resources. The ores mined from the surrounding mountains and rivers are also invaluable. In the future, everyone will be able to get more in the city." wealth."

After a pause, the smile on Han Shuo's face receded. Some solemnly raised his voice: "As a city that has been ravaged by bandits and foreign countries for many years, Brettle City has experienced too much wind, frost and misery. There has never been a city in the Lancelot Empire that Brettle City has endured." Much pain and shame.

His Majesty bestowed Brettle City on me. While I feel heavy, I also take on the mission of making Brettle City prosperous again. However, my strength alone is limited, but I will create good conditions for you, so that you can enjoy the prosperity of Brettle City. Each city gets what you need. "

The businessmen will not be stingy with the applause that does not cost money. After the rain of applause, this not too grand banquet continued.

Little chubby Jack and Fu Binen came to Han Shuo together, Jack looked up at the stalwart Han Shuo, and said, "Brian, I don't want to stay in Orson City forever, it's too boring and exciting, let me stay Brettle City, I can help you."

Han Shuo was stunned, subconsciously raised his glass and touched Jack, drained the wine in the glass, hesitated for a moment, and then slowly said: "Jack, only the two of us know how deep our relationship is. It's not that I don't want you to stay, but the dangerous place of Brettle City may put your life in danger at any time. As a true friend, I advise you to stay in Buster's Firm, it will at least let you It's been safe and sound."

When Jack shook his head, the fat accumulated on his face trembled. He glanced at Fubinen who was also surprised beside him, and Jack said, "Bouster's is too ordinary. I'm still young. Miss Phoebe and you have been taking care of me. I am very grateful. But Jessica said that the person she likes should be a knight or nobleman with rich experience. I also feel that I should work harder. Miss Phoebe cannot make me a knight or nobleman. , but maybe Brian can."

Han Shuo was dumbfounded. He didn't expect that because of a girl, this fat little Jack, who was always timid and cowardly, actually had a dangerous thing called "ambition" in his heart.
