Xu Kuang looked at the housekeeper in astonishment. He had never seen his favorability drop to zero all at once. It started to drop from 80 points.
"No, the housekeeper wants to take care of the territory for me, I can just go with you."
Xu Kuang thought:
"I'm still taking care of a bird territory. When you come back, it's up to you whether this territory will bear your surname or not."
Xu Kuang sighed and said:
"Okay, let's go."
Count Moriel said nothing more.
A group of people left Moriel City on horseback. Half a day later, they came to a fork in the road.
Xu Kuang took Count Morel into the fork on the right, and then he breathed a sigh of relief.
What he didn't know was that an hour later, Viscount Baihua rushed to another fork in the road with a tired face, heading towards Moriel City.
…
"What? Count Moriel went to Mushroom Ridge?".
Viscount Baihua was so tired. He didn't expect that he would be a step late, but it didn't matter, it was only one day, it wasn't too slow, and he would definitely be able to catch up.
Viscount Baihua didn't have time to rest, so he headed straight for Moushroom Ridge, but he seemed to have forgotten that if he wanted to go now, he would only be alone, while in Moushroom Ridge, there were thousands of mouths waiting to confront him.
…
mushroom ridge
With the exception of Balsam Melon Ridge and Baron Green's Apple Town, all the six major lords were present, plus Wayne, the lord of Calabash Town, and a group of people were sitting around the conference room.
Zhuge Duan said to everyone:
"I have nothing else to do with you today. I just want to talk about the battle we fought a while ago."
When everyone saw that Zhuge Duan was talking about this matter, they immediately lost their confidence.
None of them participated. Why did Zhuge Duan call them here?
Only Wayne and Ren were still calm and composed. After all, they were heading towards the Mushroom Ridge.
Zhuge Duan smiled and said:
"Don't be nervous, everyone. I just want to give you some benefits. Recently, Moguling's business has developed, and more merchants are coming in and out. You can't see this, right?"
How could the several lords not see this? They all sold the agricultural products in their territories to passing merchants and made a lot of money in recent months.
Zhuge Duan saw this and said with a smile:
"These people all come to Mushroom Ridge...".
As soon as these words came out, everyone looked at each other in confusion. Zhuge Duan's words were to the point. Even though he didn't explain clearly, everyone understood.
Renn stood up first and expressed his stance to Zhuge Duan:
"Let me tell you my feelings first. What I saw was that Viscount Baihua bullied others and tried to seize the property of Mogu Ridge. We, as a family, acted bravely and beat him away together. How about that?"
"How" was a question to Zhuge Duan. Zhuge Duan looked at Ren and smiled meaningfully.
When Ren saw Zhuge Duan smiling, he knew that his guess was correct. Apart from Wayne, he would probably be the one who would benefit the most from this group of people in the future.
Renn was already satisfied, not to mention that he had sent troops to help Mushroom Ridge before. Anyway, he had no choice, so he might as well break the pot.
Seeing this, other people also agreed.
The smile on Zhuge Duan's face became even stronger.
…
three days later
Moriel was very active along the way. She rode for more than ten hours every day, and her cavalrymen were miserable, but she could still hold on.
Because of this, Viscount Baihua chased for three full days and still couldn't catch up with the group.
However, Viscount Baihua is not too far away from Xu Kuang and the others.
On the fourth day, Earl Moriel also showed signs of fatigue, but looking at Xu Kuang's eager look, she was too embarrassed to say rest.
Xu Kuang saw Moriel's expression and secretly thought that this girl was still too kind.
Xu Kuang did not have any tolerance, because on his shoulders were tens of thousands of people from Mogu Ridge.
After another long time, Viscount Baihua finally caught up with everyone.
But in the next few days, he didn't have enough water and rice, and when he saw everyone, he fainted.
"Ah? Get some water quickly and give Viscount Baihua a few sips first."
Did Xu Kuang say this? Count Moriel looked at him for a while.
What Earl Morel was thinking was:
"What a kind person. People are bullying him so much, and he is still worried about their safety...".
Fortunately, Viscount Baihua didn't hear these words, otherwise Viscount Baihua would be furious.
Xu Kuang sighed and said to Count Morel:
"You see, if I don't hurry up, do I still have the mouth to explain? I'm just a little baron, how can I explain?".
Xu Kuang said, but he used almost all the mall points to exchange for a powerful sleeping pill. According to the system introduction and Xu Kuang's own calculation, this sleeping pill is enough for Viscount Baihua to sleep for three days.
Xu Kuang found a suitable opportunity and fed the medicine to Viscount Baihua. The medicine melted into Viscount Baihua's mouth very smoothly.
After another three days, Xu Kuang and his party finally arrived at Mushroom Ridge.
Earl Moriel smelled the smell of blood that had not yet dissipated, looked at the blood stains that had not been washed away by the heavy rain, and the fragments of weapons scattered everywhere. Only a small fragment of the tent was burned, and even the tent fragments in the distance were left.
There are still broken limbs and broken arms in the grass.
She finally believed that there was a big war happening here.
Count Morel looked at Viscount Baihua, intending to ask him to get up and explain, but Viscount Baihua couldn't wake him up. If his breathing hadn't been stable, Count Morel would really have thought that Xu Kuang was the one causing the trouble.
Count Morel looked at Xu Kuang helplessly and said to him:
"In this case, I will first find out the situation from the nearby lord."
Xu Kuang nodded.
He has not discussed the specific situation with Zhuge Duan, but he believes that Zhuge Duan and the group of lords will understand it on their own.
Sure enough, after Earl Morel asked around, they all said that Viscount White Birch took the initiative to invade, including Baron Green's son who did not attend the meeting.
The only exception is Forio from Balsam Melon Ridge, who is not in the territory at all.
Anger appeared on Earl Morel's face for the first time, and there was some evil in her eyes when she looked at Viscount Bai Hua.
Just at this time, Viscount Baihua woke up leisurely.
He looked at Count Moriel, immediately jumped up and saluted, and then began to introduce the specific situation:
"Count, please don't believe one thing. This guy was arrogant and killed my messenger, and then I sent troops to attack..."
Viscount Baihua said a lot, and every line was full of evasions, which made Count Morel a little unhappy.
He compared with Xu Kuang and decided.
But these alone are not enough, and Count Moriel cannot determine who is right and who is wrong.
But at this critical moment, she looked at Xu Kuang and asked:
"Then what are you going to do?".
Xu Kuang said to Moriel with firm eyes:
"Please count, please grant me the right to self-defense and counterattack, and forgive me for my previous sins of self-defense and counterattack."
