Is there going to be a showdown? Renard snuffed out the cigarette in his hand and put forward his request very calmly: "From now on, Kale County, Nanhuang County, and Duncan Dukedom will be merged into Gannan Province. ”

He paused for three seconds, giving Ferdinand time to catch his breath: "I will serve as the governor of the province, the hereditary dukedom, and from now on the governor of the province of Gannan can only be held by my descendants." ”

Ferdinand's eyes widened suddenly, he didn't expect that his sister really said that Renard's appetite was so big.

How could His Majesty the King know that Sylvia was also bewitched by Lord Lei to come up with such a bad idea.

Suddenly, the atmosphere in the room was extremely solemn.

Ferdinand walked to the window with a cigarette in his mouth, looked at the scenery below, and after a long time, he smiled wryly: "Do you want to learn from the Clayton family and the Cronin family to separate Arthur's kingdom?"

Lei Ye shook it very affirmatively when he heard this: "No." ”

Ferdinand looked back in surprise: "Oh?

The corners of Renard's mouth hooked up a sarcastic smile: "Because I'm not as stupid as Quentin and Sidney, they are already considered emperors of the soil, and they still have to fight for some false fame, and the final result is likely to be a chicken and egg fight, or even lose their own lives." ”

He lit a cigarette again, and leisurely swallowed the clouds: "So people are self-aware, I am a contented person, I only want what I want, and I will not covet anything that cannot belong to me." ”

Ferdinand nodded thoughtfully and asked, "For example?"

He suddenly realized that Lei Ye was a very interesting person, quite different from others, and his cynical attitude was very much to his liking.

Reynard replied without thinking, "Like the throne." ”

He glanced at Ferdinand and added: "Countless people covet this position, and countless people want to pull down those who sit on the throne, and I don't want to be the target of public criticism." ”

Hearing this, King Ferdinand suddenly laughed, and at the same time gave an evaluation: "That's a good point. ”

He turned his head to look outside again, because the glass was specially treated, and although the people inside could see the outside, the people outside could not see the inside, so he didn't have to worry about revealing his position.

He took a hard breath of his cigarette until his throat was a little dry and itchy, and then sighed

said: "Actually, sometimes I really envy you, you can live so chic, with a group of beautiful wives and concubines, and children around your knees." ”

"I'm different, any of my actions will be suspected of being political, and if I compliment an official, within half an hour it will reach the ears of people with a heart, and then it will become a tool against political opponents. ”

"Even my marriage can't be decided by myself, at least not entirely by myself, my future wife must be the daughter of some important minister of the kingdom, she may be ugly, she may have a bad temper, but I can't refuse. ”

The other party muttered vividly, and his eyes fell on the bustling street below: "Do you know how uncomfortable it feels to be supervised all the time, some people want to harm you, and some people want to protect you, so you still can't refuse." ”

He smiled self-deprecatingly: "You know, I have only had two dreams since I was a child, the first is to break free from this cage, and the second is to find a gentle and virtuous wife, but unfortunately I haven't achieved anything." ”

Lei Ye secretly pursed his lips when he heard this, the other party was similar to Duke Edmund and was a model of a full man who didn't know how hungry a man was hungry.

However, he was also a little curious: "Today you asked me to meet secretly, how many people know the news?"

Renard was faintly nervous, if the news of his meeting with the king was known by the Creighton family and the Cronin family, who knew if the other party would go crazy to eradicate these two hidden dangers.

Ferdinand saw his concern and said with a smile: "Not many people know about this, Count Louis, my sister, Frank, and a few of my cronies, as well as the proprietress of Shangguan Wan'er, the proprietress here. ”

Lei Ye heard it full of black lines, this Nima is not much called?

Shangguan Wan'er?

Okay! Lei Ye digressed again!

Ferdinand snuffed out the cigarette butt and added: "These are just a few people who initially knew the news, and I don't know how many people know about it now." ”

Reynard's eyes widened, "What do you mean?"

Ferdinand took a glass of water, returned to the window again, pointed to the street, and said, "Look there, it's the little vendor selling herbal tea." ”

Looking in the direction pointed by the other party, Renard found the herbal tea stall that the other party was pointing to: "Is there any problem?"

Don't blame him for being clumsy,

I really didn't find anything out of the ordinary.

Ferdinand sneered: "On the surface, he is an ordinary person, but in fact, he must have been sent by some powerful person to keep an eye on him, because if I want to leave the palace and go anywhere in the northern city, I have to pass through this section." ”

The murderous intent in his eyes was fleeting: "The other party thought he was in good disguise, but he still inadvertently revealed his identity." ”

Renard asked suspiciously, "How was it exposed?"

His puzzled expression made Ferdinand feel that the guy in front of him was not omnipotent, and he said with some pride: "Because he sells herbal tea." ”

Renard raised an eyebrow, "What do you mean?"

Ferdinand went on to explain: "There are very few tea producing areas on the northern continent to supply and consume, so it must be imported from the eastern continent, and the cost of shipping is very high, and the price of tea is also high because it is already scarce. ”

"Even if ordinary tea arrives here, it can be sold for dozens of silver coins per kilogram, which means that it is a very expensive transaction, and it is not much lower than the cost of opening a store. ”

"This kind of business is actually put on the street in a grand manner, and in order to save costs, the price is set very high, and almost no one consumes it, you say it's not ridiculous. ”

Lei Ye listened to the other party's explanation, his expression became more and more surprised, his impression of His Majesty the King had changed slightly, and it seemed that the other party was not a wine bag and rice bag.

Unconsciously, the two of them had an initial improvement in their impression of each other.

Ferdinand finally found an opportunity to show his eyesight, and pointed to a certain spot again: "Look at the fruit seller again." ”

Renard asked cooperatively, "He has a problem too?"

Ferdinand looked down and nodded affirmatively, "Of course!"

Lei Ye was speechless, just teasing the child: "What's the problem?"

Ferdinand spoke again: "Have you noticed, the fruit he sells is the freshest, look at the tantalizing sheen, at most it has been picked for less than half a day." ”

Renard nodded, "What does this mean?"

He just wants to make the other party deliberately confess, as long as he coaxes this master to be happy, his requirements will be easier to achieve.
