Chapter 151, a little lord who is good at blackmail
"Oh? Minister of Governor-General.... It seems that the kid has grown in~ The last time I heard about him, he seemed to be hanging out with a bunch of dwarves. ”
Klose laughed, "He's still with those dwarves." He has recommended you to me more than once, saying that he has a gifted old lady. We also sent someone to Cartier to look for you, but unfortunately we didn't find your whereabouts. Well.... Mind telling me how you ended up like this? If you are really like Hu Bolu said, you should be the pillar of the family chamber of commerce, how could you suddenly become a female slave? ”
Lana rubbed her hair and tightened her neckline, as if it was a little cold.
Klose unfastened his cloak and draped it over the redhead's back.
The latter gave him a grateful smile, but did not refuse.
"Hey.... It's a long story, it's not the diehards in the family who believe that the future of the Chamber of Commerce should not be in the hands of a woman. In fact, they are just red-eyed, those cowards don't dare to compete with me head-on, and they secretly put a ** in my water and send me to the slave ship! He also said that I smuggled away with the money and took away a large amount of gold coins from my family....
Hum! The old board fools believed it all! Also issued a wanted warrant about me everywhere. I had no choice but to dress up a little and blend in with the slaves. This time I was thinking of passing through Bankaz and the Misty Lands to Port Rousseau....
I had a caravan friend who was also a woman, and her base camp was there, and I wanted to go to her.... But who knows, but the slave owner took a fancy to me and wanted to sell me to the local city owner. I had no choice but to run away. ”
"The old society of all evils!" Klose muttered.
"What?"
"Oh~ nothing, I mean I want to invite you to my territory as the Treasurer. Hu Bolu said that you are a genius in this area! And when you're there, he'll be able to focus on the infrastructure and weapons development of the territory. ”
"Really? Did he say so? I remember when I was a kid, he was the one who didn't accept me the most. ”
"It's true~~~ He is full of praise for you, and said that ten of him is not as good as one of you."
"Puff~"
Lana was amused by Klose's words, and said, "I'm afraid you added this last sentence without permission, right?" Poru wouldn't say anything like that. ”
Klose laughed: "Whether he said it or not, at least that's what I think." How about Miss Lana, would you like to accept my invitation to follow me to Eagle Stream Canyon? I've got a bigger stage for you there, and you can use your talents freely! ”
Klose made an inviting gesture, Lana was stunned for a moment, then pursed her lips and nodded slowly, "Hmm.... Sounds like a good idea. But... Can I consider it for a few days? ”
"As you wish, ma'am."
Klose doesn't feel angry, after all, some people don't agree to help you just by listening to you. Liu Bei asked Zhuge Liang not to pay back the thatched house?
However, at this moment, the two heard the sound of someone arguing outside the carriage, and it was even accompanied by the sound of two weapons colliding.
Klose poked his head out and asked aloud, "What's wrong?" What happened? ”
Far away, White Fang replied, "My lord, it's the local city defense army, and their city lord. ”
"Oh?"
Klose got out of the carriage and stood high on Bajie's back.
He patted the pig's head, and Bajie shook his head and walked over.
After its huge body approached the other party, the soldiers of the city defense army all subconsciously took half a step back.
I only heard our little lord say in a loud voice: "I am Klose, the third prince of the Duchy of Holger~~ Which of you is the city lord?" Let him come out and talk to me! ”
In fact, when he came over, he had already seen a middle-aged man who looked like a city lord, but Klose still asked deliberately.
The middle-aged man's hair was shiny and shiny, a pair of mustaches were turned to the sides, and a pair of triangular eyes were flashing, obviously not very confident.
He saw Klose take a step forward and said, "I am the city lord Huric here, may I ask how the third prince of Holger came to our Bankaz?" ”
Klose looked down at him condescendingly and paused for a few seconds before saying, "I'm here to attend my sister's wedding with your third prince, and I brought her a big wedding gift." Is this how you treat the prince of another country? May I think you're provoking Holger? If that is the case, I must go back to my father now, and ask him to camp on the other side of the Moon River, and ask the king of Bankaz what is the matter!" ”
When the city lord Huric heard Klose's words, he gritted his teeth secretly, and then touched his chest with one hand and saluted.
"Forgive my men's rudeness, Dear Prince Klose, we have no offense. It's just that.... The slave owner complained to me that he had a female slave who had run into your highness's ranks, so.... We're just here to find out. ”
Klose tilted his head, still looking arrogant, looked at each other with his nostrils and snorted coldly: "Hmph! I don't have any female slaves here, only Miss Lana, the Chancellor of Finance in my realm, what's the matter? Do you want to take my Chancellor of the Exchequer as a slave? ”
"This.... Your Highness, maybe we made a mistake, I'm sorry! Let's leave. ”
After the city lord finished speaking, he turned back and glared fiercely at the fat slave owner. But just as he was about to leave, the soldiers on Klose's side surrounded him first.
"It's... What do you mean, Your Highness Klose? ”
Klose squinted his eyes and said, "You guys just come and go, aren't you too disrespectful of my Holger Principality?" My heart hurts right now.... You look down on me as you look down on my father! Just look down on my eldest brother, Duke Sunflower! I also look down on my second brother, Duke Golden Crocodile! And my friend Duke Silver Lion! Do you want to declare war on all three at the same time? They all love me very much~"
With each name Klose, the city lord's eyebrows jumped. When he spoke of the Duke of the Silver Lion, he noticed that the city lord's legs and stomach were shaking. Obviously, he didn't suffer less from that guy Siggy on the border.
The city lord bent his waist a little lower and whispered, "I'm really sorry! Your Highness Klose, if you can think of anything for me to mend the wounds in your heart, please do not hesitate to bring it up. ”
The corners of Klose's mouth hooked, and the smile immediately became warm. He jumped off Bajie's body, walked up to the city lord and said, "It's right to say this earlier~~ Our Holger and Bankaz are relatives after this marriage!" If you can fund a few hundred coins for my team, we're in for a kiss! It's better than fighting and killing, isn't it? ”
The city lord's heart thumped, good fellow! You, a waste prince, are going to blackmail me for hundreds of gold coins? Where can I find you a few hundred gold coins in my small town?
He forced out a smile and said in a low voice: "Your Highness, since our small city is located in a remote area and there are no special products, we can only take out a maximum of three hundred gold coins, but we have a good carpet here!" I asked you to pick the best of the few batches! You see...."
Klose waved his hand generously and said very casually: "Oh, what kind of city lord is that?" ”
"It's Huric, Your Highness...."
"Oh, yes, yes, Lord Hurek~~ You see that you will come, and you are so polite, and you are sending gold coins and carpets, if I don't accept it, won't it be too shameful for you? Someone~~~ Go to his house with the city lord and move the carpet and gold coins! ”
"Yes!"
Deputy Captain Mai Dong rubbed his hands and stood beside the city lord, and specially vacated a carriage to prepare to come to the door to pull goods.
The city lord of Hurik shook his body, and scolded in his heart: "Your sister! How is it that even the carriage is ready? Were you ready to blackmail me from the beginning? I definitely didn't look at the yellow calendar when I went out today, why did I run away with a brain to provoke such a waste bastard? Although his status in the family is not high, he is not comparable to my small city lord! Even if the king of Holger and the dukes don't want to see him, it's more than enough to destroy me, the little city lord, for the sake of the country's face... This damn merchant! They will only do bad things. ”
Thinking of this, the city lord of Hurek glared at the fat slave fiercely, it seemed that his loss this time was about to be recovered from this guy.
"Your Highness Klose, don't worry, let your people go with me, and I'll go to the house to prepare something for you."
"Ouch~~ This is for you, what is the city lord~~~"
"Your Highness.... It's Huric..."
"Hahaha, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, look at my memory. Alright, Huric, then you can get going. ”
Klose winked at Mai Dong, who grinned and called a few more soldiers with a wave of his hand, and stood on the left and right sides of Huric, in the name of protecting the city lord.
In fact, isn't this the hijacking of Chi Guoguo!?
Seeing that Klose had extorted hundreds of gold coins and a few carpets from the city lord in a few words, Lana in the carriage nodded slightly, thinking that this little lord had quite an appetite for himself.
