The city lord's palace was already in sight. The guards at the door had seen this scene a long time ago. Even earlier, someone came to the city gate to report what happened there. Now facing a mighty team of thousands of people, who would dare to stand?
If you are annoying at the door, you have already locked the door tightly. There is no need to say anyone at the door, and there are not even two ghosts.
Bruce still followed, and he kept cursing the guild leaders in his heart as to why there hadn't been a definite explanation until now. As a result, Bruce could only carefully maintain the relationship between the two parties. But it seemed that Adrian didn't need to do anything.
Maintain, the strength of both parties has completely changed. I believe Bruce will make a decision directly now without any explanation from above.
I have to say that this little lord named Antonio is really shocking to people. I thought that a little lord in a cursed land was still a useless magician. After his only big business was robbed by the city lord, he...
There was no way he could stand up again, and there was no recovery. Unexpectedly, Meng Han got back up even faster than when he fell, and the momentum was even stronger.
It's unimaginable that when the number of gold coins reaches a certain level, his own power will become so powerful without him building momentum. The reason why Bruce doesn't know this is because he has never seen gold coins before.
Not enough.
"Sir, it's not that I want to protect the bastard inside, but if you are guilty of anything because you want to attack him, it will be more than worth the loss." Bruce rarely thought about Meng Han and stopped in front of Meng Han.
When considering how to enter the city lord's palace, he raised it carefully.
"It makes sense." Meng Han nodded, looked up and saw Bruce's still nervous face, and couldn't help but roll his eyes: "You don't really think that I brought these people behind, do you?"
Bruce was speechless and had no answer other than giving Meng Han a roll of his eyes.
Meng Han shook his head helplessly, turned around and faced the large group of mercenaries who were following behind and talking in low voices. He put his finger to his mouth and made a shushing gesture. Suddenly, all the talking voices disappeared.
, as quiet as the night.
Stretching out his finger, Meng Han drew a line in front of him, as if he had drawn an invisible thin line on the ground. Then, Meng Han waved his hand outwards and drew it again emphatically. The mercenaries seemed to
Understanding what Meng Han meant, they all took a few steps back, as if they were standing behind the thin line.
Nodding with satisfaction, Meng Han shook his finger at everyone, and pointed at the non-existent thin line on the ground, indicating that everyone should not cross this line. A group of people were silent, looking at Meng Han's gesture, and the people in front of him were silent.
Everyone nodded, no one spoke, no one moved. It seemed that the line really existed.
"Look, if everyone doesn't follow me, they are not my people!" Turning around, Meng Han said to Bruce very seriously. His words made Bruce smile even more bitterly. So many people are so obedient,
If he's not yours, is he still mine? But, at this time, how could he say anything else?
"Open the door!" Meng Han just shouted softly, and the door of the city lord's mansion slowly opened. The figures of the two elf brothers Christopher appeared behind the door. Except for them, there was no one else.
.
Meng Han swaggered into the gate of the City Lord's Mansion, stood in the yard, looked around, and nodded: "Just right here!" Brother Gavin behind him nodded and immediately disappeared quickly. When they appeared again, Meng Han
There is already an extra chair behind John.
Sitting comfortably on the chair, Meng Han looked at the soldiers who followed him in, nodded, and then turned to Bruce outside the door: "I don't know if the Lord of the City is here. Do you want to trouble Mr. Bruce to help me?"
"
Bruce would not swim in this muddy water by himself. He shook his head hurriedly when he heard this. He didn't even intend to come in, but just watched from a distance outside the door. Bruce had also heard how the Lord of Stormwind treated Meng Han before, and it seemed that
Now he just wants to see how this young lord repays Viscount Adrian. He doesn't want to say more or ask more about the rest.
"Gavin, please ask our city lord to come out. I need to have a good talk with him." Meng Han ordered Gavin.
"Yes, sir!" Gavin agreed, and with a wave of his hand, a dozen soldiers rushed directly behind. The others dispersed around Meng Han early, guarding the lord firmly in the middle.
In less than a moment, the city lord, Adrian, was held hostage by two warriors and struggled to appear in front of Meng Han. Not far away, as soon as the two warriors let go, Viscount Adrian was thrown to the ground.
The current situation reminded Meng Han of the time when he first came to this world and the last time he parted with the Earl. At that time, Meng Han seemed to be the same as Viscount Adrian, although there were
The title comes with an official position, but in front of the powerful earl, there is no room for resistance.
The reality is really cruel. In just one year, Meng Han can sit here and watch his subordinates pull his nominal boss out of his city lord's palace without any courtesy.
. And this city lord, a few months ago, could even sit high on the high platform of the square, forcing himself to transfer the only profitable Bai Yao spar mine to him without paying a penny.
After not seeing each other for a few months, Master Adrian seemed to have become a different person. If it weren't for the aristocratic clothes he was wearing and the familiar face, Meng Han would not even dare to recognize him. In just a few short months, Adrian City
The Lord seems to have aged several dozen years, with a stooped body and even some white hair on his head. It is as if he has been struck by the aging curse of the elf sisters.
"Lord Adrian!" Meng Han's voice was calm with a hint of ridicule: "What's going on? Is it cursed? He doesn't look very good!"
How could Adrian dare to answer the question? The city guards in the city lord's palace had already gone somewhere. Faced with Meng Han's group of men who were like wolves and tigers, they had just resisted a little while inside.
He received several severe blows on his body, and it still hurts. Moreover, Meng Han's teasing sounded like a devil's whisper in Adrian's ears. Who knows what Meng Han's next order will be when he is angry?
Will he kill himself?
After sending Austin to assassinate him failed and his body was shown to the public, Adrian knew that he was finished. His biggest support was no longer reliable. The official backer had always been based on how many gold coins he could contribute. However, with the current Huangsha Town
Compared with Meng Han, everyone knows which one to choose if you want gold coins. These days, Adrian is even more unable to eat or sleep at night. There is no aristocratic demeanor. If there are not some people waiting on him, it is estimated that now
There is no difference between a beggar and a beggar.
"Isn't this too disrespectful to the Lord of the City?" Meng Han looked at Adrian who was huddled on the ground, and remembered the way he ordered the soldiers to point their bows and arrows at Alice on the gallows. He couldn't help but think again.
There was a burst of anger. But the words that came out of his mouth changed into another flavor: "Come here, bring a seat for the Lord of the City. Your Majesty the Viscount, how can you sit on the ground like this?"
"Yes!" Someone had quickly brought out a chair from the mansion, and then very unceremoniously lifted the Lord of the City who was lying on the ground, and then pressed it heavily onto the chair.
"Lord City Lord, I came here specially today to pay a visit to Lord City Lord." Meng Han said slowly to himself, without even looking at the Lord City Lord opposite: "When I saw that you are still alive, I
Very pleased!”
Everyone who heard Meng Han speak outside the door felt a chill in their hearts. Did Meng Han look happy? However, who would make himself and the lord uncomfortable at this time?
"The second thing is that I want to discuss it with the city lord. You see, as Huangsha Town is a subsidiary territory of Stormwind City, how should this tax be calculated?" This time, Meng Han's eyes were focused on Adrian, and it seemed that
In serious discussion or asking for instructions.
"You, you have the final say!" Mr. Adrian could only tremble now and dared to express his opinion. However, Meng Han had to answer these words and could only answer tremblingly.
"In this case, I think that since I have already paid the tax to the Earl, Stormwind City should not impose any more taxes. What do you think? Lord Adrian!" Meng Han said very seriously, as if he really
I'm discussing the tax rate with him.
"Yes, yes!" Apart from trembling, Adrian could only nod.
"Also, can we ask the city lord to exempt caravans from Huangsha Town and passing through Stormwind City? We won't need to levy such a high tax?" Meng Han took the initiative to raise another issue.
"No more taxes." Adrian spoke more fluently, but he did not dare to contradict Meng Han at all.
"Okay!" Meng Han waved his hand, and someone had already prepared a written order for Adrian to sign. As long as he signs, these things will become formal resolutions.
"It's really refreshing to talk to you about official business, I like it." Meng Han stood up and said with a smile: "Sir, you have to take care of your health. We will only talk about official matters today. Next time, we will talk about some private matters."
After saying that, he completely ignored Adrian's pale face and gave everyone a big snap of his fingers: "Let's go!" He left the city lord's mansion first, but he was thinking in his heart: "Such a good thing cannot be enjoyed all at once, but every now and then.
Come here and have a great time, it should feel good!”
