Of course, old Monxiu is not like Modo, who can abandon a large part of the country in order to curry favor with the Hogg family.

For an old stubborn like Lao Mengxiu, the integrity of the country is of paramount importance.

Selling land is the most unacceptable, no matter how much the other party asks.

After all, there are too many rich people in this world, but the land is very limited, if they are all sold like this, I am afraid that the whole world will become a rich man's world.

However, not for sale?

Does the current Ansar Kingdom have the right to refuse?

Lao Mengxiu was full of helplessness, the situation was stronger than people, and now he finally understood how Mo Duo felt at the beginning.

It is not a question of whether or not to preserve the dignity of the Ansar Kingdom, but whether it is capable of preserving it.

"Prime Minister, if you don't want to sell, just find a reason to push it off, after all, this is the territory of our Ansar Kingdom, and it is impossible for that kid to buy and sell forcibly. Troy said earnestly.

Old Meng Xiu glanced at Troy with a wry smile: "Some things are not what you want, if you want to refuse, you must have enough right to speak." ”

"Prime Minister, that kid is at most the eldest young master of a certain family, is it ......?"

"It's like I want to buy a piece of your territory, have you refused?" said Old Moncius, glancing at Troy.

Troy is only the lowest-ranking viscount, while Lao Meng Xiugui is the prime minister and the grand duke, and the identities of the two are very different.

It can be said that Lao Mengxiu is forced to buy and sell, and Troy has no qualifications to refuse.

And in Old Mengxiu's heart, this gap between him and Troy is the gap between the Ansa Kingdom and Bai Chen.

The current kingdom of Ansar can be said to be in danger, and Anazi and Rogers died in Moro City.

They are the two most important people in the Hogg family, it can be said that the current Ansar Kingdom and the Hogg family of the Eastern Empire are in an endless situation, and at the same time, they are now blatantly protecting the two princesses of the Eastern Empire, without Bai Chen's protection, the fate of the Ansa Kingdom will be very sad.

"Did he say the price?" asked Old Mengxiu.

"He said the price was whatever you wanted, and he was willing to pay three times the public price...... And even more. ”

The so-called public price is actually a transaction between countries, for example, if a country takes a fancy to the land of another country, after negotiation and transaction, the first thing to assess is whether the territory has towns and population, and then it is the land with resources and minerals, which are called high-quality territories, and the price of tens of millions of gold coins can be reached across hundreds of miles.

Then there are barren mountains and mountains, a deserted land with no resources and no population, and this kind of land is to fill the country with a façade, so that its borders look bigger and useless.

And the range of six hundred miles of the North Gaman Mountains that Bai Chen wants also belongs to this kind of land, and basically no one will buy it.

Even if other countries invade, most of them will not send an extra soldier to occupy it, and it is all in a laissez-faire state.

Old Moncius couldn't help but fall into deep thought, and after half a salary, he said to Troy: "Bring me the map." ”

Troy took the map to Old Mengxiu, who looked at the map very carefully, and after a long time, Old Mengxiu's eyes lit up.

"Go and tell Steven that the land around the North Gaman Mountains is not for sale. ”

"Ah!?" Troy opened his mouth wide, didn't old Meng Xiu say that he had to sell it before, why didn't he sell it now?

"And say to him, We can give him this land with both hands. ”

"What!?" Troy was completely dumbfounded, even if this land is not worth much, it is at least worth a lot of money, whether people want to sell it or not, and give it away for nothing?

Troy has always believed in Old Mengxiu, because Old Mengxiu has always been a wise representative, and has never been on a business order in the office, and the Ansar Kingdom is also very stable and rich under his governance.

However, now Lao Mengxiu's decision really makes him scratch his head.

"If you want this land, you must become the lord of our Ansar Kingdom, and at the same time, if there is an enemy invasion in this vicinity in the future, he will be responsible for guarding the security of his own territory. ”

Of course, Lao Mengxiu would not be stupid to give away his country's territory to others for free, even if this person is very strong.

It's just that the periphery of the North Gaman Mountains is the border of the three kingdoms, and the Ansar Kingdom has some friction with these three countries, more or less, so the North Gaman Mountains have not been very peaceful, and every year in order to maintain the stability of the border, a lot of military spending has been invested in this area.

Troy couldn't help but look at Old Mengxiu: "Prime Minister, you must trust him too much, right? This border has always been a disaster area for war, just rely on him as a kid? Even if he has the support of his family behind him, it will not help, right? After all, there is no source of troops near the North Gaman Mountains, even if he has a lot of gold coins in his hand, I am afraid he will not be able to recruit troops to protect the territory." ”

"You don't have to worry about these things, you don't need to know, you just need to understand that as long as he agrees, the borders near the North Gaman Mountains will be foolproof. ”

Troy faintly heard some suspicions from Old Mengxiu's words, and it seemed that Old Mengxiu trusted that kid very much...... No, it should be very convincing, even a little jealous.

However, Lao Mengxiu told him not to ask more questions or talk more, and he did not dare to delve into the reasons again.

He only acts as a microphone, and it is not his turn to point fingers at such a major national event.

Old Meng Xiu glanced at Troy, at this moment Troy's face was faintly hesitant and embarrassed, Old Meng Xiu looked at Troy seriously: "Do you have anything you haven't said?"

"My lord, I don't know if I can say ......."

"It's about that kid?"

"Yes. ”

"Then I told you that any action of that boy will be rewarded to me. ”

"That's ......," Troy recounted the conversation between Bai Chen and Jessica.

Old Meng Xiu's face changed slightly, revealing a look of horror: "You didn't tell me anything, I didn't hear anything!" I will treat this matter as if I didn't hear it, what should have been done before, don't ask, don't say, as long as he and Master Jessica in the future, on this topic, you can avoid it, if you hear it, you have to go in and out of the left ear, if you leak half a point out, you and I will finish playing...... Do you hear that?"

Troy didn't expect that Old Mengxiu would be so panicked, he had never seen Old Mengxiu show such an expression.

It was an expression of fear and regret!

Troy really didn't understand what there was to be afraid of, why it made Old Mengxiu so overwhelmed, and even regretted hearing the news.

Troy returned to Bai Chen's side full of worries and reported Lao Mengxiu's decision to Bai Chen.

Regarding Lao Mengxiu's request, Bai Chen didn't have any opinion.

And Bai Chen wanted the North Garman Mountains to become his territory, also to avoid others from interfering in it.

Bai Chen wanted to keep that relic for himself, naturally he didn't want to let the idle people approach, and it was justified to expel it when the time came.

After Bai Chen read the terms that Troy had brought to Bai Chen, he signed the name of the 'stone', and the North Gaman Mountains officially became Bai Chen's territory.

"Did you tell Old Monxiu the news of the North Gaman Mountains?" Bai Chen glanced at Troy.

Troy's face changed slightly, and he lowered his head and didn't dare to respond to Bai Chen's words.

"I don't think this happened, you go back and tell Lao Mengxiu that if he still wants the lives of the whole family, it's best to keep his mouth tight, and if there is a next time, let him wash his neck and wait for death." ”

Troy looked at Bai Chen blankly, Bai Chen's words were the same as Lao Mengxiu's words, but the roles were reversed.

"Okay, you don't have to follow me today, I'm going to meet two people. ”

"But ......"

"The more you know about some things, the faster you die, are you sure you want to follow?"

Bai Chen's words immediately made Troy stop, and cold sweat couldn't help but break out on his forehead.

Bai Chen glanced at Troy: "Go back and tell Lao Mengxiu, just say that I won't let you come with me, he won't embarrass you, and he won't dare to embarrass you." ”

With that, Bai Chen walked out of the library, and Tim, who had been waiting outside the library, glanced at Troy and left behind Bai Chen.

"Young master, why bother to put an eyeliner by your side. Even Tim could see that Troy was actually the eyeliner that Old Meng Xiu had placed next to Bai Chen.

"It doesn't matter, it's just an insignificant little person anyway. Bai Chen said indifferently.

"Young Master, do you want that territory of the North Garman Mountains, do you plan to build a city there, or is it just for that ruin?"

"I don't have a place to stay yet, but when it's over, I'll go to the North Gaman Mountains and build a castle there if the environment is suitable. ”

Bai Chen paused, and said: "Recently, you help me pay attention to the things in terms of building materials, don't mess up when the time comes, by the way, all kinds of metals and precious metals also help me pay attention to it, you can spend the money in your hand as you want, if it is metals and precious metals, you give priority to helping me buy them." ”

"Yes, young master. Tim would never ask Bai Chen why he wanted to buy metal, although he was also curious in his heart: "In five days, the auction house is ready to auction your three pseudo-artifacts, do you go to watch the live auction?"

"Well, let Kane get two tickets. ”

"Okay. ”

Bai Chen came all the way to Michelle and Luo Lin'er's residence, and now the two of them have rightfully been sheltered by the Ansa Kingdom.

Of course, the so-called asylum is just a pretense, and no one will believe it, just because the Ansa Kingdom dares to shelter the two princesses of the Eastern Empire.

However, the notice issued by the Ansa Kingdom has caused considerable dissatisfaction in the Eastern Empire, threatening that if the Ansa Kingdom cannot send the two defected princesses to the Eastern Empire within a month, then the Ansa Kingdom will suffer the retaliation of the Eastern Empire.

If the Ansa Kingdom had not had Bai Chen's support, I am afraid that it would have succumbed to the coercion of the Eastern Empire long ago. (To be continued.) )
