"The Reverse Gate is an interesting place, as far as I know, our ancestors were originally criminals of the Reverse Gate, and later due to the change of the Reverse Gate, they developed a paradise outside the world. The most pitiful thing in this country is the person in charge of importing, because the passage of time is very different between the outside and the inside, the outer heaven has existed for a hundred and forty years, and the outer heaven has only passed seven years. So we conclude that time is twenty times faster on this side than on the outside. You say, how miserable the person in charge of imports should be. I went to be in charge for a year, and when I came back, my family was twenty years older......"

"I was in charge of the field for a year, six years after the rebellion. With the fall of the reverse door. How many talents have disappeared. However, there is such a person, but it is completely different, and that is Jiang Mei. After the fall of the Reverse Gate, she worked in three places. One is the Dao Dharma Sect. With her help, the Dao Fa Sect was several times stronger than before, and finally chose to leave and leave. After that, there was the building, and the turnover of the building in her own area increased several times. A few days ago, she returned to the Dao Dharma Sect. Not...... The reason why I know is because I am very interested in strange people on the outside world, and let people help me find out the news......"

"In the end, I came to the conclusion that this Jiang Mei is a political genius. Do you remember, when you were rich, I asked people to come to you? Actually, how could I be interested in a few little rich people, but at that time, I heard that several of your servants had all become rich people, and I felt a little interested for a while, and finally found out that there was a person named Jiang Mei inside. So I asked Steward Li to go over and take a photo back. In the end, I was sure that this was the famous Jiang Mei ...... outside."

"I don't really want to accept you, otherwise Steward Li has followed me for so long, he naturally knows my character, how can he be so arrogant and domineering to you. Jiang Cheng, I must admit first that after seeing Jiang Mei, I was indeed very moved. But I also knew in my heart that I couldn't accept this person, because although the emperor trusted me very much, he was also jealous of me. I was living a good life. If Jiang Mei is allowed to come under my command, the emperor will only become more suspicious of me as I develop. I'm not an idiot to know that some things can be had and some things can't. The puppet is innocent and guilty, I can't afford to provoke the emperor......"

"But who knew that the emperor would suddenly die inexplicably? It is said that there is no regret medicine to take in the world, and I was devastated by this situation anyway. I don't know exactly which move Emi is playing, but I really care. I can't wait to know how much bloody rain this being, who wants wind and rain outside, can set off a bloody storm in the paradise outside the world. ”

I looked at the duke with a serious face, and suddenly felt terrible.

This guy, he knows our hole cards!

I swallowed my saliva and whispered, "Lord Duke, are you trying to take us in now?" ”

"No, I just wanted to tell you that I want you to behave well......"

The Duke stood up slowly, he looked at these dancing beauties, and said calmly: "I'm quite old, I remember when I was a teenager. I followed the emperor to fight in the north and south. People say that I am a great duke, and it is because of my assistance that I have made the emperor what he is now. However, in my opinion, this is all bullshit. The emperor is strong only because he is lucky. In the past, we were all about the same strength. But one day, his strength suddenly became inexplicably strong. People think I'm assisting the Emperor, but I think I've lost all my abilities to luck. Over the years, no one has been afraid of my white god, even if I don't need the emperor to make a move, I can ride in all directions with blood. It's a pity that I'm not so interested in power. It's not just power, I'm ...... women, wealth None of them were of much interest. ”

I whispered, "What do you mean?" ”

"The long-term invincibility has exhausted me physically and mentally, and I thought that the evening breeze might be a good opponent for me. It's a pity that although he fights well, he is a wooden ......" The Duke looked at his hand and said softly, "When I saw Jiang Mei forming an alliance with the evening wind, when I learned that the emperor was dead, I knew it...... A troubled time began. Jiang Cheng, Jiang Cheng, I just want you to bring a message back to Jiang Mei...... The long-term nobility and invincibility have cooled my blood. I'm a soldier, I'm a politician. If you can't meet an opponent in life, it is a painful loneliness. Tell Emi that I'm looking forward to a showdown with her. ”

"What do you mean......" I swallowed and said, "You want to compare yourself to Jiang Mei?" ”

The Duke smiled, "Interesting, isn't it?" The prince is just a wine bag and rice barrel, and he is not worthy of being my opponent. And Jiang Mei ...... Whether the legend is true or not, I want to see. Just tell her and let her fight me with all her might. I want to see that I am a duke. With millions of elite soldiers under her command, and only one evening wind by her side, a ruling army of only 10,000 people, how can she turn over the storm. ”

I took a deep breath. Nodding his head, he said, "Lord Duke, I understand, I will bring the words to her." ”

The Duke said softly, "Go ahead, I hope she can crack my invincibility." ”

I didn't know what to say all of a sudden. Because I haven't tried this invincible taste yet. At the moment, I am not at all the same level as the Duke, and I can't use my mind to guess what he thinks.

I walked out of the Duke's Palace in a trance, and it took me a while to come back to my senses, and then I called Jiang Mei. I told her about it.

After Jiang Mei heard this, she said nonchalantly: "Oh, so you declared war with me, right?" ”

"What can I do...... "that's the Duke," I said anxiously. Our power pales in comparison to his. Now that he's officially declared war on us, we won't be able to eat and walk around. ”

Jiang Mei said indifferently: "It's okay, even if the crown prince is wasted, he is the duke's most powerful enemy at the moment." The duke wants to deal with us and cannot find a reason or excuse for the time being, this is a struggle for the throne, and they must act in a fair and just way to inherit the throne. Alright, since the Duke is determined to compete with me, then we might as well stand on the side of the Crown Prince for the time being and help weaken the Duke's strength. ”

"Do you mean that we help the crown prince suppress the duke, and then stab the prince again?"

"The crown prince probably can't suppress the duke......" Jiang Mei said calmly, "If a person dares to rebel, it means that he has enough certainty." I'll analyze these slowly. For now, you have to do the important things at hand first, you go and apply to attack the fiefdom, and become a baron first. ”

"Okay."

I hung up the phone and went straight from the Duke's Palace to the palace. After asking the squire about the location, he came to a small palace.

There was a fat man here, sitting in it eating a heyse, with a pile of wine and meat in front of him. It's like a ball of meat that only devours.

I said respectfully, "Rich Jiang Cheng, please see Mr. Aruma." ”

"Come in, what's the polite ......," the man asked me warmly, wiping his mouth. Have you eaten? Let's have some food together. ”

I hurriedly and politely said, "No, I'm here to apply......"

"I know."

Aruma bit a large piece of meat and muttered, "The prince has already told me about your situation and wants to attack Aoyagi's fiefdom. Of course you can. But I want to tell you first, if you want to become a nobleman, you need to be strong enough. According to our rules, you must not send more than one-tenth of the enemy's troops when you are privileged to attack a territory. After all, the opponent's generals are not there, and you need to ensure your strong strength in order to be qualified for the position of baron. ”

I frowned, "What does that mean?" ”

"In the Aoyagi fiefdom, there are two rich people, four hundred commoners, and five thousand slaves. We are counted according to the combat power, the rich are counted as one thousand, the commoners are counted as one hundred, the slaves are counted as one, and the comprehensive combat power is seven thousand four ......," Aruma said, "that is, you can only bring one rich man at most. ”

"Wait a minute......," I interrupted Aruma and said in astonishment, "you mean that I can only take one rich man at most to attack a fiefdom of more than five thousand people?" ”

Aruma said earnestly, "Or you can take seventy-four civilians or seven hundred and forty slaves, whatever you choose." ”
