068 Husband and Wife Whisper

When Uther and the city lord's wife returned to the castle, they saw three carriages parked at the gate of the castle, surrounded by more than a dozen royal infantry guards. He was a little confused: "This scene is too small. I remember that there are usually about a hundred royal infantry following."

"Maybe this is a simple envoy." The city lord's wife didn't think there was anything strange.

The two walked up with dozens of cavalry, and a fat man with a big smile got out of the carriage in the middle. He shouted: "This is the noble Lord of Winterwind City. I am the royal envoy, Kira-O." Erfen, I have come to announce the royal decree."

"Hahaha, I am the city lord Uther, and this is my wife Sophia." Uther dismounted and walked up to the fat envoy. After a symbolic salute, he put his arm around the other person's shoulders and said very He smiled rudely and said: "Your Excellency Kira, you are here just in time. I haven't seen a big man in the royal city for a long time. Come on, let's go to the castle for a drink together. We will talk about the order later."

Fat Kira seemed to be unaccustomed to the other party's enthusiasm. He mumbled: "Be gentle, be gentle, Your Excellency, City Lord, I am an ordinary person and I cannot stand the torment of professionals like you."

Uther let go of Kira with an apologetic look on his face, and then pulled him into the castle. After that, Binyi was the host. This fat man seemed to be easy to talk to and very knowledgeable. He talked eloquently at the wine table without making people feel annoying. After both parties drank more than ten glasses of wine, his face was flushed. He put down a piece of order paper, and then, with the help of the maid, he went up to the third floor to rest.

The city lord and his wife watched Kira go upstairs side by side, and then the two of them came to the study on the second floor. Uther closed the window, then sat on a chair, opened the edict, read it, threw it to his wife, and said at the same time: "The old emperor asked us to continue guarding the border, but he finally said that if we can open up new territories, There must be a heavy reward? I am already the lord of a city, and I have the title of earl. If I am rewarded again, can I be promoted to a duke? This matter is not simple. We only have six dukes in Hollevin. If I are promoted again Go up, isn’t there seven Kai? This is inconsistent with the traditional tradition. What is the old emperor thinking?”

The wife of the city lord opened the edict and read it for a while, then sat next to her husband and leaned against his body and said: "In order for the emerging nobles to gain a foothold, they must fight against the old nobles. The old emperor is trying to lure us to commit suicide. ?”

"The old emperor is already very old. Isn't he confused..." Uther suddenly stood up in a daze: "I know, the old emperor is dying, and his time is coming, so he is forcing us Langman The family takes sides.”

Hearing what her husband said, the city lord also understood: "According to tradition, the eldest prince should be the one who can inherit the throne, but the old emperor has always disliked the eldest prince. He likes the third youngest. But the eldest prince and the four earls left. Very close, the third child only has the support of two earls. So the old emperor hinted that if we can support the third child, he will promote us to dukes. Open up new territories... Let the third child sit on the throne, it is not in line with tradition, and it is indeed considered worthy. It’s about opening up new territories.”

"This is a good opportunity, but our Langman family is not strong enough." Uther patted his thigh in annoyance: "If we wait for more than ten years and Babara becomes a great magician, Kyle can also be on his own. When the time comes, we will definitely not miss this opportunity, but now..."

The city lord's wife also sighed. The Duke's position has been held by the six great families of Hollevin for hundreds of years. Now that the emperor has granted a position, they have no way to grasp it. This is really uncomfortable. However, the city lord's wife had an idea and said, "How about we find a way to bring Beta into our camp? I think he is very powerful and his character is trustworthy."

"He is a holder of a special bloodline. Even if his strength is low, his effect is quite great." Uther said with a yearning emotion: "You don't know, when I entered the thick fog and looked at the enemy's The position and every move are under my control, and the other party can't see us very well. The feeling as if everything is under control. I think every general who leads the army will never forget it if he tries it once. If I have With this ability, I can lead a thousand cavalrymen to attack an enemy of less than 5,000."

As a general who has experienced hundreds of battles, Uther understands the true purpose of the "Riding Mist" skill.

The city lord's wife smiled and said: "It's a pity that we don't have a second daughter, otherwise we would never let that boy go. By the way, that boy's willpower is very firm, and my bloodline charm ability has no effect on him. Even if we can Pulling him into our family cannot guarantee his 100% loyalty, just like Karl, he has always had a good relationship with us, but we didn't expect that he would betray us in the end."

Uther said: "If we can guarantee that Beta will not betray us within a few years, it doesn't matter. The old emperor is already sixty-nine, and he was injured too much when he was young. It seems that he will not last long, and it will definitely not exceed two years. Years, otherwise he would not give us such an edict. So as long as Beta does not betray us within two years, then once we become dukes, we will have more resources and wealth. If we want to satisfy his appetite, we should not Disaster."

In the view of these competent nobles, anyone can buy it. If the other party does not agree, then the price is not enough or the method is wrong.

"This is a rare opportunity for us. If we miss it, we may not have such luck again in hundreds of years." The city lord's wife pressed her Alps snow mountain with a desperate expression: "If it really doesn't work, we will quietly Let’s plant a drop of charming blood in him. In this case, it should be able to slightly activate his view of us, and then it shouldn’t be difficult to convince him to join us.”

If Liang Lidong were here, he would know the origin of the charmed blood, which is the special ability of the devil creature, the succubus. Occasionally, a succubus will be accidentally transported to the main plane by the turbulent flow of space, and then leave a bloodline on the main plane. Such bloodline has some special expertise of the succubus, and the blood of enchantment is one of them.

Uther disagreed: "But in that case, you won't feel good either."

"It doesn't matter, I can control my will." The city lord's wife caressed the man's cheek: "Or maybe you don't believe in my ability?"

Uther was about to say something else, when there was a knock on the door, the two separated a little, and then he shouted: "Come in."

The person who came was a soldier. He came in panting and sweating profusely. He was half-kneeling on the ground, but he was unable to speak for the time being because of his violent breathing.

Uther saw that his appearance was very familiar. After thinking for a while, he frowned and said, "You are not the team leader guarding the gold mine. What happened and I need you to come down to report?"

The soldier gasped a few times, and then he told what happened. Halfway through, Uther jumped up suddenly and almost struck someone with his sword. Fortunately, the city lord's wife stopped him and waited for the soldier. After telling what happened in full, he said in shock: "Fortunately, Mr. Beta was there to calm the situation, otherwise the gold mine would have changed hands."

The city lord's wife said angrily from the side: "I didn't expect this ambassador to be so despicable and deliberately lured us back. Looking at his good-natured face, I really made a mistake."

"Since that group of royal infantry has been captured, I won't go up. Sophia, please take someone up to deal with it. I have to stay and keep an eye on that damn fat man, lest he pulls another trick."

The city lord's wife nodded and immediately walked out. Uther shouted from behind: "Bring more cavalry up."

When there were two hundred cavalry outside the castle, the city lord's wife hurried towards the gold mine. By the time she arrived at the mine, it was already evening. She went to see the captured royal infantry, and also met Robin Clement. The latter complimented her and his eyes lit up immediately when he saw her. He said a lot of compliments, but she kicked him. face.

Then the city lord's wife went down to the basement of the tunnel and met Liang Lidong, who continued to draw the magic array.

Hearing someone coming in, Liang Lidong raised his head, then lowered his head and continued his work. At the same time, he said, "Why, you are the only one here, and the city lord didn't come?"

"Thanks to you this time, Lord Beta." The city lord's wife solemnly bowed to Liang Lidong as a lady.

"You're welcome!" Liang Lidong waved his hand: "After all, I also have 15% of the profits from the gold mine, and this is just for myself. Just don't blame me for commanding your soldiers blindly."

The wife of the city lord shook her mountain snowfield slightly, and she said angrily: "Do we seem to be such ungrateful people? Just tell me what kind of repayment you need... physical repayment is also acceptable!"
