Chapter Seventy-Seven: The Duke's Swiftness
"Oh?"
When Aruma heard Jiang Mei's words, he didn't show surprise, but said with great interest, "Can you tell me?" ”
"Now the people who have the best chance of becoming emperors in the country are mainly the crown prince and the duke...... Jiang Mei smiled, "The prince's side are all new nobles, and the duke's side are all old nobles who follow him." Mr. Aruma, according to the character of the crown prince, can be described as the three fires of the new official. If only he could get the position of emperor. I'm afraid you're going to lose everything, right? Anyway, if I am the crown prince, if I become the emperor, these important positions. I'm sure I'll be my henchman. And for you, the prince will only have hatred. He will hate you for not wanting to form an alliance in the first place, causing him to lose all trust in you. ”
Aruma said blandly; "Then how do you know. Won't we make friends with the prince? ”
"Because the prince doesn't need your ...... at all," Jiang Mei said calmly, "Mr. Aruma, the prince is also surrounded by talents. Although you are now in charge of many important positions, because your grandfather lived in seclusion too early, you have always lived by love, right? In fact...... You can't even get a decent army, can you? According to my guess, the reason why you can live so comfortably is because your grandfather has already pulled out his fangs with his own hands, so the emperor will not be afraid of you and reward his old ministers with a peaceful old age. It's a pity that the emperor has feelings for your family, but the crown prince has no feelings at all. All he knows is a meaningless family that is frantically absorbing the wealth that originally belonged to him, am I right? ”
Aruma didn't answer the question, he pondered for a moment, and then said, "Then how do you know that we can't be friends with the Duke?" ”
"The Duke doesn't need you ......," Jiang Mei said sharply. There are so many of his old subordinates, and the reward positions will not be enough when the time comes, where will it be his turn to get his former opponent? ”
"Hmm......"
Aruma took a bite of the chicken leg and muttered, "I can't answer these questions because my grandfather also has some plans for him." Miss Jiang Mei, you must know that even if everything you say is true, then you don't have the capital to let us make friends with you for the time being. At present, this situation can be said to be in danger for everyone, and if you take a wrong step, you may be burned. And you...... You came to me today and said that you want us to hand over our lives to you, I'm afraid we haven't been so cheap. Although we can't get a decent army, but you ...... There's only one Judgment Legion, but it's just a Death Regiment, which has been gaining momentum lately. Compared to the crown prince and the duke. Your power is not worth mentioning. ”
Jiang Mei was about to speak, but at this moment, a frightened cry suddenly sounded outside the house: "Oh no! Oh no! ”
We all looked towards the door. I saw one of Princess Iruru's guards running into the house in a panic. Seeing him so flustered, Princess Irulu wondered, "What's wrong?" ”
"It's time for Congress...... "The guard said anxiously, blushing." Duke Shirakami he ...... He...... He's made enough pounds of gold! ”
"What!?"
When we heard this, we all stood up in disbelief.
Enough money so fast?!
How the is this possible!
"It's impossible to ......" At this time, Jiang Mei's eyes also widened, and she said a little panicked, "It's only been a long time, and I've already earned a million catties of gold!?" ”
The guard said anxiously: "I don't know, anyway, the parliament has already opened, and the duke has also put down the notice." Now all the nobles are going to go, so go and see it. ”
We anxiously walked out of the dormitory and headed for the main hall. Along the way, Jiang Mei was extremely panicked. She kept muttering, "Something is wrong...... Isn't that right...... How could the Duke have earned enough money so quickly? According to my estimate, it will be at least two months before he is right. ”
It's the first time I've seen Jiang Mei so panicked, and I know very well that Jiang Mei likes the feeling that she can win everything. But now the duke suddenly earned enough one million catties of gold, which was undoubtedly a huge blow to Jiang Mei.
I also feel very puzzled in my heart, could it be that this money is blown by the wind?
Jiang Mei scratched her head vigorously and muttered, "This is bad...... This sucks......"
"You calm down first...... I hurriedly comforted, "this is just the first one." ”
"Brother Cheng, this is not the first time...... Jiang Mei rubbed her face and said with a wry smile, "If the duke really earns enough for a million catties of gold." Have you thought about what that means? ”
I whispered; "What does it represent?"
"It means that the second game has begun...... "Jiang Mei muttered, "the second game is a war!" That's war! Now everyone is in the stage of the Cold War. If the Duke forcibly starts the war, then we ......"
This......
I finally understand now why Jiang Mei is so panicked.
We're not ready yet......
No, I can't say I'm not ready.
But before we had time to prepare, the duke forcibly opened the curtain of war!
It's too early!
It's like playing a game, just out of the novice village. Just face the biggest boss!
We hurried to the main hall, where the Duke was sitting and laughing. When he saw us coming in, he smiled and said, "It seems that I won." ”
Jiang Mei gritted her teeth and said, "How did you earn enough?" ”
"Why did I tell you...... said the duke, shrugging his shoulders, "am I looking so stupid?" Or rather. Is this a society that tells people their money-making tricks? ”
Jiang Mei took a deep breath and forcibly suppressed the unhappiness in her heart.
The nobles were all rushing to the palace one by one, and after an hour, all the nobles had finally arrived.
The crown prince was the last to come, and as soon as he entered the main hall, he couldn't help but shout: "White God." You must have cheated! It's only been a long time, and you've earned a million catties of gold! ”
The Duke smiled and said, "Your Royal Highness the Crown Prince, please be calm for a while. If I dare to apply for the convening of the Diet, it means that I am not lying. Otherwise, there are so many nobles here, everyone can eat me, don't you say that's the truth? ”
"Humph!"
The prince snorted coldly. He asked the Grand Elder of Congress, "Where is his million pounds of gold?" ”
The Grand Elder of the Congress whispered: "Your Royal Highness the Prince, I don't know, the Duke said that the people are here." He'll take it out. ”
We all subconsciously looked at the Duke, and to be honest, I felt serious.
A million pounds of gold, what is that concept?
That's 500 million grams of gold, which is equivalent to 150 billion yuan!
How the hell did he earn it! How long has it been!
The prince said coldly: "Mr. Duke, now that everyone has gathered, please stop selling Guanzi, hurry up and take out a million catties of gold!" ”
The duke shrugged his shoulders and said, "To be honest, I didn't prepare a million catties of gold today. ”
When the prince heard this, he was immediately furious: "You dare to play with us!?" ”
"Please don't worry, Your Highness the Crown Prince......," the Duke smiled, "but ah, I have something else to prepare. ”
Something else?
I saw the duke clapping his hands, and a group of people suddenly walked outside. They carried several chests and placed them on the ground, more than eighty in total, and then opened them.
The treasure chest is full of exercises, pills, and Taoist weapons!
The duke said slowly: "The things here are worth a million catties of gold!" ”
The Great Elder of the Congress curiously walked over to the treasure chest and opened it to take a look, and immediately said in astonishment: "These ...... All of them are superb! ”
"What!?"
The prince's eyes widened in disbelief and hurriedly rushed over to check. Then his face turned pale and he sat down on the ground.
It was not only the prince whose face turned pale, but also Jiang Mei.
"Brother Cheng......"
Jiang Mei muttered, and she trembled and handed the phone to me.
I took her phone and looked at it in confusion, and my eyes widened.
It was a Taoist forum, and there was a pinned post on the forum.
"King Size Outside! Many warehouses in the building were robbed by mysterious people, and the losses were huge! ”
