Chapter 638: The Crisis in Jiba Town

At nine o'clock in the morning on June 8, 1174, a soldier under the Viscount of Jide Bangkok rode a fast horse through the central avenue of Jiyu Town, which made this street jump, after all, it is not possible to ride a horse in a big city.

When the soldier came to the gate of the noble city, he dismounted and shouted, "Urgent! Take me to the lord!"

The soldiers guarding the gate saw that their dismounted companions had no strength to stand, so they hurriedly supported them, and then informed the lord of a soldier guarding the gate, and a soldier took care of the somewhat exhausted companions in the same place, after all, without the consent of the lord and not guarding the gate would be punished by the lord, and in serious cases, they would lose their jobs, which was not what the gatekeepers were willing to see.

There was also some hangover, and when the viscount of Khedro Bangkokla heard the soldier's report of an emergency, he ordered that the soldier be brought to the reception hall, and that he would soon go to meet the other party, and then let the maid continue to pack her clothes.

Hearing the arrangement of the Viscount of Jide Bangkok, the butler took the soldiers to make arrangements.

When Viscount Jide Bangkok had finished his clothes and came to the reception hall, he asked what the tired-looking soldiers were saying.

When the messenger heard Viscount De Bangkok asking, he opened the package on his back and took down the scroll and handed it to Viscount De Bangkok.

Viscount Ji De Bangkok took the scroll, and when he finished reading the contents of the scroll, he asked the soldier with a look of disbelief on his face, is the content of the scroll real?

The intelligence soldier replied with a very serious expression, the things recorded in the scroll are true, nearly 30,000 armed mobs have gathered fifty kilometers east of Jiba Town, and the number is still increasing.

When Viscount Jonde-Bangkok heard the report of the intelligence soldiers, he instructed the steward to summon the family knights to discuss, after all, if the 30,000 armed mob was not dealt with, it was likely to lead to the loss of control of the newly acquired town of Jiba.

Due to the urgent summoning order issued by Viscount Gilde Bangkok, all the family knights and an outsider arrived in the conference room within ten minutes.

When Viscount Ji De Bangkok saw that everyone had arrived, he directly told everyone about the gathering of 30,000 armed mobs fifty kilometers east of Ji Yu Town.

When everyone heard the words of their own master, they all talked about it, some were worried, and some were high-spirited to lead 10,000 people to solve the enemy of the escort.

Seeing that there was some chaos in front of him, he directly spoke out to silence everyone.

Then Viscount Jedre Bangkokla decided to sort out his own family first, and then decided to deal with the armed refugees fifty kilometers to the east.

The knights of the Legion of Management told Viscount Jedr Bangkokra that they had recruited nearly 13,000 soldiers and that there was no problem in managing law and order for the time being, but the knights of the Legion of Management told Viscount Jedr Mahara, that they were now very short of weapons and armor, and that there were now less than 3,000 soldiers equipped with equipment.

Hearing that there were less than 3,000 soldiers with equipment, Viscount Jonde Bangkok frowned, after all, the armed forces were related to the safety of Jiba Town, so he asked the third steward who managed the military supplies why there was a serious shortage of equipment?

Turisid whispered to his young master that he did have enough weapons, but the young master wanted to use Daglas, a merchant who sold inferior weapons, to lower the price of the leather armor merchant, and as a result, the weapon merchant left directly, and they and the leather armor merchant only bought a thousand sets because of the price problem, so there were only 3,000 armed people.

When Viscount Jide Bangkok heard that it was because of his own relationship, he coughed lightly in embarrassment, and then asked the third steward to buy enough weapons and armor even if it was a high price, he didn't want to save some money to give up control of Jiba Town.

Hearing the young master's command, Tulicid saluted and retired to contact the arms merchant and the armor merchant.

Soon it was noon, and Turissid ran to six large weapons stores, only to be told by the merchants of the six arms shops that all their weapons had been bought yesterday, even the special weapons that had not been sold for several years.

However, Turicid learned from the people in the six shops that all of their weapons had been bought by the same person, and that person was the Daglas arms merchant who had been used by them the day before.

Strong, Turisid was very reluctant to meet Daglas, but for the sake of the Jide family and his own status, he had to go to Daglas's location.

At this time, Yan Tielong was holding a banquet and reached an agreement with those grain merchants, this agreement was that Yan Tielong purchased 8,000 tons of wheat for 100,000 gold coins, but there were two treaties, this treaty was that the seven merchants must transport the wheat to Jiyu Town or Liushui Fish Village, and 8,000 tons of wheat must be given to him first, otherwise it is a breach of contract and ten times the compensation.

Of course, Yan Tielong did not have cash to pay, and he used pure natural gemstones as collateral and a three-month repayment period to pay for 8,000 tons of wheat.

In fact, Yan Tielong was able to reach an agreement with the seven major grain merchants, because the seven major grain merchants had not yet received the news that there were 30,000 or more armed mobs fifty kilometers east of Jiyu Town, otherwise they would not have signed an agreement with Yan Tielong at all, after all, there were armed mobs, which was very threatening to their transport team.

Of course, the reason why Yan Tielong bought so much wheat was to raise the price of grain in the plan to recapture Jiyu Town.

Just as Yan Tielong and the others were drinking to their heart's content, the guard of the luxurious three-story courtyard entered the hall, and he reported to Yan Tielong that there was a housekeeper outside who claimed to be the Viscount of Jide Bangkok who wanted to see him, and he didn't know if he wanted to see him.

Hearing that it was the butler of the Viscount of Ji De Bangkok, he had already guessed the other party's intention, after all, they had sent someone to keep an eye on the noble castle, as long as there was any change in the noble castle, someone would notify him, so in the morning, someone hurriedly entered the castle, and he had already learned the news.

Yan Tielong reassured the seven famous grain merchants that he had important matters to deal with and left, and then asked the guards to invite the butler of the Viscount of Jide Bangkok to wait for him at the Red Leaf Tavern, after all, the seven grain merchants were not suitable to meet with the butler of the Viscount of Jide Bangkok.

Turisid was very dissatisfied with Daglas's arrangement to meet at the Red Leaf Tavern, but he had a request for others, so he could only endure it.

After half an hour, Yan Tielong finally appeared at the door of the Red Leaf Tavern.

When Yan Tielong saw Tulixid, he apologized that he had just had some important things to deal with, so he was late, in order to apologize, Yan Tielong was very generous to invite him to this meal.

Turisidman accepted Daglas's apology, and at the same time he directly offered to buy all the weapons directly at the price of the second escort the day before yesterday.

Yan Tielong heard the other party's request, and replied with a smile.

Hearing Daglas's refusal, Turisid said that if it was because of the incident the day before yesterday, then he was willing to apologize, and asked the soldiers around him to send the small box to Yan Tielong, saying that the contents of the box were a gift for him to make amends.

Seeing that there were ten synthetic gems in the box, Yan Tielong pushed the box to Tulicid and told the other party that he was a businessman, and it was impossible for him to give up a lot of benefits with a little money.

When Turicid heard Daglas answer, he couldn't help asking, "Daglas, what do you mean by that?"

Yan Tielong saw that the other party didn't understand what he meant, so he took out a scroll from his arms and handed it to the other party, and then told the other party that they would understand after reading it.

After reading the scroll handed over by Yan Tielong, Tu Li Xide directly slammed the table and said loudly: "It's so expensive, this is simply a money grab!"

The small number of guests in the Red Leaf Tavern heard Turisid's shout, and they all looked at Turisidman, they were very curious about why Turisid had such a big reaction.

When Turisid saw that the guests around him were looking at him, he knew that he was rude, so he calmed down and said to the greedy man in front of him: "Your Excellency Daglas, do you think that an iron-headed spear will be sold for 12 gold coins? Are you a little too greedy?"

Yan Tielong heard the anger in the other party's tone, and he smiled: "Your Excellency, if you can't make the decision, then you can change to another person who can call the shots." ”。

When Turicid heard Daglas's words, his anger suddenly exploded, and he said coldly in his eyes: "Your Excellency Daglas, don't you not only think that you can't get out of Jiba Town?"

Regarding the other party's murderous attempt, Yan Tielong narrowed his eyes and said, "Of course I'm worried about my own safety, but I'm even more worried about your safety." ”。

As soon as Yan Tielong's words fell, a dagger appeared around Tulisid's neck, and then a thief wearing a white thief's suit suddenly appeared behind him.

Noticing the dagger around his neck, Turisid broke into a cold sweat, but he still kept his composure and said: "Your Excellency Daglas, please calm down your companions, if I have an accident, you will also encounter a lot of trouble." ”。

Hearing a hint of threat in his soft tone, Yan Tielong smiled and said: "Your Excellency Tulicid, businessmen like us have traveled south and north for many years, and we have never seen any situation, and you have seen a lot of people who tear up the agreement and threaten me without authorization, if you don't have the means to protect yourself, you will report to the underworld a long time ago!"

As for the trouble you are talking about, do you think it is more important for the young master of your family to solve his current trouble or your life?"

When Tu Li Xide heard Yan Tielong's words, he was really afraid that the other party would attack him, after all, his life was really not worth much to the young master.

Yan Tielong did not embarrass Tu Lisid, but asked him to hand over the weapon price scroll to Viscount Jide Bangkok, and he waited for Viscount Jide Bangkok to respond.

Reading is exciting, reading is wonderful!
