Lorist is very busy. While he is busy cultivating, he is also busy waiting for the follow-up progress of the gossip news about the Queen's pregnancy and the Second Highness being cuckolded from the imperial capital. He is very interested to see what the final outcome of this matter will be. How about it. If such a thing happened to ordinary people or a family of knights, Lorist must have no interest in hearing about it. But this happened to His Highness the Second Highness, which made Lorist's heart gossip soar. He only hated that Morante City was too far away from the imperial capital, even if it was sent by Xinying, it would take a day or two to arrive.
So when Fatty Shi put Earl Kate's painstakingly written protest document in front of Lorist, Lorist just glanced at it casually, crumpled it up and threw it into the trash can : "Protest ass, just like those watchdogs, they don't dare to bite and only know how to bark desperately. If the business alliance has the strength to challenge us, it would have sent troops long ago, and it is still necessary to engage in these tricks? Leave him alone."
"I know, but you have to save some face for them." Fatty Shi replied with a smile: "Actually, this protest document written by Earl Kate is really good. I didn't even know he had this talent. He spent several The genius wrote this document of protest. It reads well-founded, and he also cared about our family's face. He didn't directly accuse us, but used a lot of cryptic words... It's a pity that His Highness didn't care and just threw it into the garbage like this barrel…”
"If you want, just pick it up from the trash can. I don't care if he is talented or not. Anyway, it's useless if he can't use his talent for our family." Lorist said, "There's nothing wrong with your arrangement." Right? How much money was collected from the business alliance this time?"
"No, the grain warehouse base outside the east city gate is now the resettlement place for those inner city residents who were released from the wharf prisoner-of-war camp. Earl Kate has now signed a contract with our family and entrusted us to help them transport these inner city residents According to the agreement, he paid another 250,000 gold fords, and let our family provide him with potatoes and other coarse grains to feed the free inner city residents.
Earl Kate should thank us for releasing the prisoners in the prisoner-of-war camps in batches. The first batch of more than 3,000 people, the second batch of more than 2,000 people, and the third batch of more than 8,000 people. He was so busy that if he really released all the 100,000 captives, there would be a big mess. He also protested that we only release these inner-city residents who have lost their wealth, but he didn't think about it. If we really let those people go out with their belongings without our supervision, many people will definitely die.
So far, the Business Alliance has paid more than 6.3 million goldfords in ransom and other expenses for all the captured personnel. Earl Kate complained that this was more than double what they expected, and also ridiculed our Norton family. It's from a remote place in the north, it's shameless to ask for money, it must be poor. As an envoy to our family, he had to pay for board and lodging himself, etc. I pretended not to hear. You said that we managed to catch such a winner like him, so there is no reason not to kill him severely
Speer is in charge of the prisoner-of-war camp in the dock area. Since Mr. Tagle secretly spread the news in the prisoner-of-war camp that only those who spend all the money they carry can be the first to be free and be redeemed by the business alliance. The number of people shopping and consuming in the prisoner-of-war camp immediately increased. At the same time, Mr. Tagle also spread two news. One is that even if these people take their money out, they will be confiscated by the business alliance. The other is that if they win red chips in the casino, they can be free. The safety of him and his private property will be protected, so the two casinos in the POW camp are full of people these days.
According to the report submitted by the prisoner-of-war camp, our family has earned nearly three million goldfords in the past ten days, and the director of Speyer was very happy. He said that the camp of more than 100,000 people can give Our family has brought nearly ten million goldford benefits. And Mr. Tagle is going to perform another show in the dock area in the next two days. This time he has gathered nearly two thousand citizens from the outer city and prepared more than 20 barrels of cow blood and sheep blood. He wants to have our family armed The grand play of suppressing the rioting people is to frighten the stubborn old people in the prisoner-of-war camp and let them know how dangerous Morente City is now. The second is to use these released residents to let Earl Kate and the Business Alliance know that our Norton family's armed forces have fallen into the big pit of Morente City as they wished..."
Fatty Shi's report made Lorist couldn't help laughing out loud. The cause of the incident was the two captives who were sent as gifts by the leader of the community organization in the outer city, Menoto, the head steward of the Liward Chamber of Commerce. Mr. and the golden swordsman Pinkov, the two fell into Tager's hands within two days, and soon revealed all the business alliance's plan to set off a riot in Morente City.
After reading this report, Lorist felt that he could have some fun. Anyway, the chief executive and the golden swordsman were in charge of implementing the plan, so he asked them to continue sending information and messages to the business alliance, asking for reinforcements What. Lorist actually thought very simple, he just wanted the business alliance to send a few people over to let Genorio practice his hand-to-hand combat. His third apprentice has a very good character, and the only thing that dissatisfied him was that he didn't compete for strength. He has a competitive heart, and he doesn't like to use swords and guns very much. Even the competition with the guards usually ends in a draw.
After Lorist became the Juggernaut, his three apprentices also became the focus of attention. Great apprentice Reddy, needless to say, the level of a second-level great swordsman is extremely murderous. Shi Huade, the second disciple, has a gold three-star swordsmanship level, is resolute and calm, and is deeply loved by Lorist. The third disciple, Genorio, is tall, tall and fit, and his swordsmanship and grudge level should be at the three-star level of silver. Compared with his tall and fit body, Genorio also has a very delicate heart. He has a very beautiful and good handwriting, which may have something to do with the governess he had when he was a child.
Lorist wondered sometimes, how could the pirate Sembawood have such a nice son? The old pirate roams the sea, robbing and murdering all sorts of crimes, and many family knights are ashamed to be with him. But his eldest son is liked by everyone, mainly because of his pure nature and good temper, as well as his honest character, which makes it impossible to hate him. The only shortcoming is that he doesn't like to fight with others.
Let Genorio go to charge on the battlefield, uh, the possibility of dying in battle will be far greater than the possibility of surviving, even Lorist, as a sword master, cannot guarantee to stay by his side. Genorio will definitely will be safe. Competing with the guards has lost its meaning, because Genorio's temperament is that it is not appropriate to win or lose, and he doesn't care much about winning or losing. That's why Lorist put his idea on the business alliance, let the people sent by the business alliance become Genorio's sword testers, it should make his apprentice feel a little bit, because these testers are real Greg will do his best, and Genorio will have to see blood for his own life.
But what Lorist didn't expect was that his idea was taken by Fatty Shi and Tagle and turned into a big plan. If you want to cheat, you can cheat together, making the business alliance think that the Norton family's armed forces have been deeply involved. In the big quagmire of Morente City. On the one hand, it is to buy time for the newly formed Morente City Autonomous Committee to get through the initial period of unsuitable management and firmly hold Morente City in its hands; The favorable time in the world gave it a fatal blow.
"You guys just go ahead and do it." Lorist said with a smile, "What Morente City needs most is time. Let the business alliance think that our Norton family armed forces are fighting to the death with the million residents of Morente City, Both sides will suffer. Then give them a hard slap when they send troops to take advantage of it. After half a year, the Morente City Autonomous Council has a firm foothold, and we can let them form a new business alliance, or just call it The Liberty Alliance is ready. At that time, I really want to see where the face of the Commercial Alliance will be. The lair is gone, do they still have the face to call the Commercial Alliance? The next step is our Norton family armed to help the Liberty Alliance resist the Commercial Alliance against the Fali Hill Plain. The invasion, I believe that many people will be shocked... "
"I'm sure the business alliance will regret it at that time. If they had known this result, they would have signed an armistice agreement with His Highness immediately to reach peace between the two countries. To be honest, His Highness's plan is a bit too ruthless. But vacating the cage to change the bird is going to uproot the foundation of the business alliance!" Fatty Shi sighed.
Lorist shook his head: "They asked for it themselves. On the one hand, they wanted to enjoy the respect of the nobles in the territory, and on the other hand, they also imagined how rich they were in the past. There is no such thing as the best of both worlds in the world. In the past, business alliances could only be made on the plains of Faliqiu Developed with Morente City, so the various chambers of commerce can unite to fight against foreign enemies. But since these merchants implemented the Lord system in the commercial alliance, it is completely different. People are selfish, and each chamber of commerce will naturally have its own territory. Concentrate all financial and material resources to develop their own chambers of commerce. It can be said that the decline of Morente City to the present point is the responsibility of these chambers of commerce. The Grand Duke of Morante would have been so angry if he knew that the business alliance had developed like this. Get up. All we have to do is kick these chambers out and redevelop Morente to what it used to be."
"Well, Your Highness, you are so right." Fatty Shi first complimented, and then asked with a playful smile: "By the way, Your Highness, has there been any new news from the Emperor these two days?"
As a consistent opponent of His Highness the Second Highness, Fatty Shi is also very concerned about the color of His Majesty's hat. A few days ago, after receiving the news that the queen was seven months pregnant, Fatty Shi had been gloating and waiting to see the incident between His Highness the Second Highness and the Feisabrun family...
"There is no new news, that is, the new news that came three days ago said that the adulterer was caught, but we haven't been able to find out the details of the adulterer. It is said that the Royal Guards imposed martial law in the imperial capital, and people are strictly forbidden to talk about it. The queen is pregnant. The most ridiculous thing is that when the news of the queen’s pregnancy just came out, there were still many fools who didn’t understand the situation and celebrated our great king’s successor. This is simply slapping us face to face His Majesty's slap in the face..."
Lorist and Fatty Shi laughed very unkindly. During the years of wars, such a royal family gossip suddenly happened, which was loved by the public. It really made people feel relaxed and happy.
Tager hurried in: "Your Highness, there is new news from the capital..."
"Quick read." Fatty Shi urged.
"Well, the identity of the queen's adulterer has been found out. He is the deputy commander of the palace guards, his name is Wixas, twenty-seven years old, two silver stars..."
"Huh? Wixas, at the age of twenty-seven, he is only a two-star silver star. Which family does he belong to, and how did he become the deputy commander of the palace guards?"
Lorist's first reaction was that this guy must have gone through some back door to become the deputy commander of the palace guards. He is the deputy commander of the palace guards, and generally at least has a gold one-star battle qi rank, otherwise he would not be able to do so at all. It is impossible to command the palace guards who are all silver ranks. Especially three years ago, the great swordsman of the business alliance mistakenly thought that Lorist was recuperating in the palace and raided the palace, and a great swordsman was killed in the battle of Antinac Kingdom. His Royal Highness was furious when he heard the news, and re-strengthened the defense of the palace. The nearly 300 palace guards were all in the rank of silver fighting spirit.
"Your Highness, this Wixas is not from an aristocratic family." Tager looked at the words written on the thin gray silk in his hand and said: "The letter said that he was just a quasi-knight, and his adoptive father was a The royal knight who has followed His Majesty the King for a long time retired due to old age... "
Tager's eyes widened suddenly, and he hesitated to speak: "Your Highness... the letter said... that Wei, Wixas is actually... actually His Majesty the King... His Majesty's illegitimate, illegitimate son..."
"What did you say?" Lorist grabbed the silk from Tagle's hand and spread it on the table. This time, Fatty Shi lost his sense of superiority and inferiority, so he rushed over and squeezed beside Lorist to look at it. stand up.
What was said in the letter was true. Rumors that this Wixas knight was actually the illegitimate son of His Highness the Second Highness had spread in the imperial capital, but it was not confirmed by the person concerned. And after the queen's pregnancy happened, the queen's adulterer, the Wixas knight, was naturally arrested. But the strange thing is that after the Second Highness arrested the Wixus knight, he ignored him and did not deal with him. As a result, the rumor that the Wixus knight was the illegitimate son of His Majesty the King became more and more noisy in the rumor circle of the imperial capital.
The secret agent sent by the Norton family in the imperial capital is really a dedicated officer. In order to confirm this information, he inquired about a person who had served the Second Highness since childhood and did not follow the Second Highness because of illness after the Second Highness was awarded Hilovas Island. His Highness's old servant finally got a piece of news from this old servant after spending a lot of money. When the Second Highness was seventeen years old, he had an affair with a maid of his father, and later the maid gave birth to a child, but the maid and the child disappeared soon, and no one saw them again, so It is not certain whether this Wixas is the illegitimate son of the Second Highness, although it is estimated that the age is the same age, twenty-seven years have passed since now.
Damn, this thing is getting more and more exciting. It turns out that the Second Highness had an affair with his father's little maid and now his illegitimate son has gone one step further, directly having sex with his wife, causing the queen to become pregnant. This generation is getting worse ah…
"Tager, you send an eagle message to Muyeyuan Province, ask my cousin Chrisya, if she knows about this situation, and confirm whether this Wixas is the illegitimate son of His Majesty the King..." If you want to Knowing the private situation of the Second Highness, Lorist must have followed the Second Highness for nearly 20 years and maintained the closest relationship with his cousin Chrisya, who must know the inside story of these things.
"Yes, Your Highness." Tagle replied.
