Heidi took Renard to the City Lord's Mansion, and Lei Ye had no scruples as if he had entered his own home.

Seeing this, Heidi shook her head: "It seems that the rumors are true, you have been in Constantinople and have met many powerful people, and now you don't seem so afraid to see me, an earl." ”

Renard shrugged his shoulders when he heard this, the count was really not a big man in his eyes, after all, when he was in Fort Saint-Brieu, there were no less than ten marquis who begged him.

Heidi motioned for Renard and Serena to sit casually, then made tea and sat down on the couch across from them.

She stared at Lei Ye for a long time before she said bluntly: "You shouldn't come back." ”

Renard raised an eyebrow and asked, "Why?"

Heidi took a deep breath and said, "It's dangerous here, demons are raging in the barren land, I'm afraid it won't be long before the demon plague spreads to the city of plenty." ”

She looked bitter: "Don't think I'm lying, as a lord, I know more than those ordinary people. ”

Lei Ye raised his head in thought, and then sneered: "So what?"

Heidi was a little confused by this answer, and all the prepared words were useless, and she stared at Renard, "Do you know how many demons wander in the barrens?"

Renard shrugged indifferently: "I don't know!"

Heidi smiled wryly and spat out three words: "Millions." ”

The corners of Reynard's eyes twitched slightly, but not too obviously, this number was obviously unexpected by him.

Heidi looked at his face, noticed the slight changes, and the corners of her mouth couldn't help but hook up a playful smile: "Do you know that you are scared now, do you prepare these materials and manpower to recapture Fort St. Brieux from the demons, do you think you have a chance?"

Renard groaned for a moment, then said, "I'm not sure, but I can try." ”

Heidi frowned when she heard this: "Aren't you afraid of death, the demon disaster is not as simple as you think, and I think this demon disaster is much more serious than before, at least the last demon disaster The lords of all regions did not suffer such heavy losses." ”

She added: "Do you know how many nobles and outcasts have taken refuge in the city of plenty, sixty or seventy thousand? ”

When Renard heard this, a smile appeared on his face: "Is it that the food reserve is insufficient, and you want to ask me for help, if so, you don't have to make such a big detour." ”

Heidi was a little speechless, silent for a long time, she sighed helplessly: "You are much more shrewd than before, it seems that it is not completely beneficial to be in the merchant pile." ”

Now that she has seen her thoughts, she is not hiding it: "That's right, I am indeed in trouble now, and the most important thing is that there is not enough food. ”

Renard smiled even more happily: "We are friends, and sometimes it is better to open our hearts and communicate, if my expectations are good, in fact, the city has fallen into a food shortage." ”

Heidi raised her eyebrows in surprise when she heard this: "How do you know?"

Renard pouted: "I'm not stupid, what do you think I'm bringing so much food for, as long as there are signs of an outbreak of the demonic disaster, the farmers don't dare to go out to grow food, and there are tens of thousands of mouths to eat, how can there be no food shortage." ”

This is the case in ancient wars, after the war, there will be a famine, even to the point of cannibalism, so he used many means to buy a large amount of food, but it is only enough for tens of thousands of people to eat for two or three months.

Heidi sighed again and asked, "Can you lend me some food?" ”

Resnard smiled evilly: "Why should I borrow you?"

Heidi said: "I can't buy it, I'll give you money." ”

Renard clapped his hands: "Okay, five copper plates for beans and a kilogram, eight copper plates for rice, one kilogram for rice, six copper plates for flour and one kilogram, and vegetables ......"

Without waiting for Lei Ye to finish speaking, Heidi went straight away: "You might as well go and grab it, bastard." ”

Seeing this, Renard didn't laugh angrily, and said: "Your current appearance is only in line with the image in my mind, and that businesslike face just now is really not suitable for you." ”

Heidi opened her mouth and swallowed back the words she was about to curse.

Renard looked at her and said, "I can give you food for free, and I can lend you people, and I can even lend you money, but I have a request." ”

Heidi was a little excited, but at the same time vigilant, she always felt that the other party was a weasel giving a New Year's greeting to a chicken - not well-intentioned.

She thought for a moment and asked, "What request?"

Lei Ye straightened his clothes and replied in a serious tone: "Marry me." ”

Without waiting for the other party's slap to fall on his face, Lei Ye hurriedly added: "This is a great opportunity for you to keep and even grow the City of Abundance and the Meredith family." ”

Heidi's slap didn't fall after all, because the phrase that strengthened the Meredith family was very attractive.

She had made it her mission to restore the former glory of the City of Plenty, and now it was a rare opportunity to borrow food to feed the refugees.

She was silent for a long time, and suddenly asked, "Can you change your request, I said that I have no plans to get married." ”

"Are you afraid that I will use this to seize the power of the Meredith family?" Renard had a sneering smile on his face: "You don't have to be afraid to marry me, after all, I am also a descendant of nobles, and I still can't look down on this small place in the city of plenty." ”

Heidi was angry again, she couldn't refute it, anyone could see how extraordinary Renard was now.

She took a sip of tea, "Is it good for you to do this, and what about the lady next to you?"

Renard glanced at Serena and said, "I will make enough money to ensure that each of my wives and children can live a comfortable and happy life, in fact, at the rate at which I am now accumulating wealth, it is not a lie." ”

Note that Lei Ye here uses a wife, not a mistress, which means that he cares about every woman he has a relationship with.

Serena naturally heard the doorway, and the grievances and jealousy just now suddenly weakened a lot, this is the art of language.

Heidi didn't dwell on this, she was more concerned about how to grow the Meredith family.

The people of this world are so wonderful, and the first thing that the nobles think about is never how well they will live, but how to grow their family.

After a long silence, Heidi asked, "What's in it for you?"

Renard took a deep breath and looked up at the ceiling: "Naturally, I can marry a beautiful and noble wife, in fact, I wanted to sleep with you the first time I saw you." ”

Lei Ye is such a real person and never lies.

That's right!

"Smack!"

However, there is a price to pay for not lying, Lei Ye has a clear slap mark on the right side of his face, if it is not for the strength to increase fast enough, this is enough to break his neck.

"After all, what kind of hands!"

Heidi sat back on the sofa angrily, and then said coldly: "I agreed, but the dowry should be rich enough, at least all the grain goods you brought will belong to me, and I will have to pay another 20,000 gold coins, which can only be paid today, and it will not be overdue." ”
