Grand City. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

A permanent population of more than 50,000, the height of the city wall is more than 30 meters, there is a magnificent lord's mansion inside, there is a tall and white city hall in the middle, there is a neatly planned business area and a street of hotels and inns next to it, there is a military academy in the west of the city, on the hill in the north of the city, there is a majestic and magnificent monastery, full of flowers, the flow of people is like weaving, the traveling merchants gather, the workshop is like a cloud, this city has been completed for less than five years, the degree of prosperity has been completely compared to the royal capital of the Upper Wallis Kingdom.

But this morning, after the city gates of lightly armed cavalry hurried into the city and declared martial law for the whole city, the whole city of Grand was enveloped in an atmosphere of oppression and unease.

In the afternoon, there was a fierce shouting and killing sound from the Lord's Mansion, and after a while, the shouting and killing stopped, and some sharp-eyed citizens of Gran City seemed to find that Lord Donnie of the Lord's Mansion seemed to be escorted to an unknown place by a team of heavily armed soldiers.

……

Lord's Palace.

In a partial hall in the west wing.

Downey, who was escorted in by the soldiers, hung his head and looked resentful, saw the man he hated the most in front of him.

"Shameless thief, everything in my territory has been put in your pocket!" Donnie spat at him.

"Donnie, where did I fail you to make you so resentful of me? Look at this bustling city at your feet, look at this rich land, brick by brick, grass and tree, what point did I not work hard to bring down to you, you sit in the castle all day and enjoy the fruits, you can't even sit back and enjoy its CDs, but you want to mess around with me?"

Zhou Ming turned around with his hands behind his back, and looked at the Donnie in front of him, who was in his thirties, with a stubbled chin and beard, and a mature but immature personality, he was extremely disappointed, and he really didn't know what to say.

Fortunately, he has been assisting him for more than ten years, and he has been running around in the south and the north, but in exchange for this result.

Hey, it's indisputable.

"Bah, damn thief, I just hate that I didn't listen to Eugenie sooner and poison you with a glass of poisoned wine! Let you, thief, steal my authority, put me in that puppet's seat, and be at your mercy, I've had enough of these days! I'm going to take back what belongs to me, and everything that you damn thief stole from me!"

Donnie roared hysterically, his eyes red, and his teeth and claws baring his teeth and claws, but he was immediately pressed down by the two guards.

Looking at Donnie with this appearance, Zhou Ming suddenly remembered that Madame Madeleine, who had regarded him as her own and cared for him, and after making some senseless resistance, she jumped down from the top floor of the high castle in a gloomy weather, ending her painful and desperate life.

Unexpectedly, Donnie finally came to this point, either for his supreme authority to dominate everything, or to win the smile and sweet promise of that peerless beauty, or to fight for greater freedom and a wider sky, he chose to betray his best friend, and chose to betray his wife Alice, who has been with him for 13 years and has given birth to four children for him.

This is absolutely unforgivable!

Yes, King Herian, who has been fighting with Zhou Ming for more than ten years and has been defeated repeatedly, finally found a fatal loophole in his airtight defense line, and this fatal loophole is naturally Donnie.

Through the channels of several traveling merchants, Herian secretly sent her daughter Princess Eugenie to Donnie's bed, which has always been good~ Donnie, who has left more than ten illegitimate children among the people over the years, can't put it down for this beautiful look, graceful and luxurious, and a natural stunner who has been guided by court etiquette since childhood.

After learning her true identity as the daughter of King Herrian, and being told that her father, Herrian, was willing to marry him, stop the war, and promise to make him the Grand Duke of Gran, who occupied the seven counties in the eastern part of the kingdom, Donnie's heart beat uncontrollably.

Not only that, King Herian also promised that after his death, he would be elected as the first heir to inherit the throne of the Volris Kingdom, that is, as long as he agreed to marry Princess Eugenie, he would not only have a peerless beauty, but also get a complete Volris Kingdom.

Dry, why not!

At this time, Donnie's mind had already dumped his wife Alice, who had been with him for many years, to that Java country.

Compared with Eugenie, who was born in the royal family, this commoner wife, who is not as good as a single hair of others in terms of background, appearance, temperament, culture, and aristocratic etiquette, has dropped to the status in Donnie's heart that is not much different from ordinary lovers~ women, and even because of her many births, her body is out of shape, and sometimes she feels that she is not as good as those young and beautiful mistresses outside.

After falling for Herrian's beauty scheme, Donnie, under the "guidance" of this beauty, changed some of the policies that Zhou Ming had implemented in the territory for many years, and also changed them in a mess during the time he was away.

For example, the six governors appointed by Zhou Ming were replaced, the six counts were appointed to take over the military, political and civil affairs of various places in the past, and a group of knights who did not know what came out of there.

For a time, the earth-shaking Gran Collar who was tossed by Donnie was boiling, like cooking oil on fire, and it was about to erupt.

Zhou Ming, who was shocked to hear that there was a fire in the backyard, had to take the lightly armed cavalry and quickly returned, controlling this shock, which was very likely to cause his good situation to fall apart for a while.

"Donnie, have you ever heard of the saying that a stupid person dies because he still does the stupidest thing when everyone knows he's stupid!"

Zhou Ming said angrily, these stupid things that Donny did, except for the woman behind him and a group of knights of unknown origin supporting him, this territory, this city, and even this lord's mansion, except for a few opportunistic ones, no one stood up to support him.

Even the guards who escorted him were members of the Lord's Guard, who had ever been the most loyal to him.

"Ryan, is it ...... You're going to kill me?"

Suddenly hearing the word "death", Donnie trembled in panic, and remembered that he was ruthless and didn't know how many people he had killed with despicable means over the years, and now he pointed the finger at himself, Donnie realized that he should not have provoked this demon.

Poof!

The extreme fear of death made Donnie kneel down, hugged Zhou Ming's trouser leg, and cried: "I'm sorry Ryan, I was wrong, please spare me, I am my best friend and brother-in-law, can you bear to watch Alice lose her husband, her four children, and have no father at such a young age? Don't kill me, please don't kill me!"

He squirmed forward a little more and hugged Zhou Ming's thigh.

"Whether to kill you or not, the decision is not in my hands, but in Alice's hands, you go and ask Alice. ”

Zhou Ming shook his head, broke free from Donnie's pull, exited the side hall, and handed everything here to Alice, who walked in with a child in her arms.

Alice, who walked into the side hall, her eyes were red, obviously she had just cried, and her body was still a little trembling, it was she who had just taken someone to the side hall next door and poisoned Princess Eugenie, who made her feel ashamed of herself for the first time, for the first time, she had not yet come out of the emotions mixed with fear, excitement, excitement and hatred.

"Alice, my beloved wife and lover, please spare your husband! I swear to God, I will love you only one woman from now on, and I will be good to you only one woman with all my heart! Please don't kill me, I am the father of your four children, and your husband, who carries far more weight in your heart than your brother's husband!"

Donnie, who was close to collapse, hugged Alice's skirt, tears and snot flowed together, at this moment he just wanted to live, even if he lost all his glory and wealth, and lived like a dog, as long as he could live.

"Get out of here, you conscienceless thing, you can't even compare to my brother's hair! Just for a woman, you have abandoned the promise you made to me, you have abandoned the future of my four children, and you have abandoned everything you promised me! You conscience has been eaten by dogs, and now you still want to kill my brother, you go to die, go to hell to repent!"

Ellie gave the death sentence without mercy, yes, she had also had illusions about this man, but watching him have more and more illegitimate children outside, watching him become more and more indifferent to herself, until she saw the woman who made her ashamed of herself to despair, she no longer had the slightest pity and sympathy for this ruthless and unrighteous man.

Yes, my brother is right, the only man in this world who is good to her and will always be good to her is my brother.

"Alice!!"

Donnie shouted in despair, but could only look at the back, farther and farther away from him.

……

Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, another decade has passed.

In the past ten years, after Zhou Ming led his tiger and wolf legions to occupy the entire territory of the Warris Kingdom, he suspended the pace of external expansion and instead built strong fortresses on the border to prevent several surrounding kingdoms from uniting out of fear and invading this new kingdom that was not yet very stable internally.

The agricultural revolution was continued, the levy was reduced, fertility was rewarded, sanitation was improved, bands of thieves were unleashed, people were abducted from neighbouring countries, and various means were used to increase the population base of the country.

Implement a low-tax policy, encourage industry and commerce, vigorously exploit coal mines, make iron and steel, and improve military strength, so as to not only hide the wealth of the people, but also enrich the country and strengthen the army.

In just ten years, this small "Burns Kingdom" under Zhou Ming's governance has become a "strong country" with a population of more than 600,000, an elite army of more than 30,000, and an army of 100,000 in an emergency.

In August of this year, in the border war with the four surrounding kingdoms to invade together, the 40,000 troops cobbled together by the four kingdoms were all wiped out, and the king was killed one and two captured.

Some observant kings also noticed the unique political structure of this kingdom during this battle, and its great power contained in it, so that some voices discussing reform began to circulate in the upper echelons of some kingdoms.

This battle, because of the occasional cold, lung disease aggravated, also became the last battle commanded by Zhou Ming in his military career, and in the next few years, he could only lie on the hospital bed in a private manor, relying on expensive drugs to continue his life, and also called his two sons to his side, and decided to train these two sons well in these last few years.

……

On this day, the weather was overcast and cold.

Perhaps because he felt that his time was approaching, Zhou Ming called his two sons to the hospital bed and gave him a good voice.

He said to his 26-year-old eldest son, John: "John, I know that you control two-thirds of the kingdom's field army, and you have made great achievements, and last year you won 12 earldoms in the Iron Castle Kingdom, and you are also arrogant and look down on your weak cousin of the king...... But don't go and tell your aunt Alice, ask Cousin Alan to move his ass and give up that position to you, and never do it! Since this kingdom is called Burns, it should belong to the Burns family! This is my promise to Alice, I will keep it when I am alive, and you will keep it for me when I die!"

"Yes, Daddy!"

The eldest son, John, lowered his head and said, very surprised in his heart, this idea was buried deep in his heart, but he didn't expect it to be seen by his father.

"John, it's not that Dad wants to stop you from doing a big business, but it's not this kind of fighting business, take a long-term view, don't just stare at the Burns Kingdom, any land outside the Burns Kingdom, you can dominate there. ”

After a pause and a pause, Zhou Ming said: "John, do you know that an explorer I sent to the east the year before last recently returned, and he told me that behind the Ural Snow Mountains in the east of the kingdom, there is an incomparably vast piece of land, even larger than the hundreds of kingdoms we know combined! You can send someone to dig a passage into it and occupy that vast land, which has many volcanoes and minerals, including saltpeter and sulfur needed for gunpowder. ”

"Dad, the Ural Snow Mountain is ten thousand feet high, and legend has it that only the devil can climb over it, and send someone to dig a passage, so when will it have to be chiseled? Dad, I am going to defeat the Iron Castle Kingdom next year, as my feudal kingdom, Cousin Alan and Aunt Alice should agree. ”

John said with a relaxed face, the entire Burns Kingdom was defeated by the Derek (Zhou Ming's surname) family, and now he just wants a feudal kingdom that he defeated himself, and no one should gossip about it now.

Looking at the eldest son John's frivolous words, Zhou Ming knew that no matter how repeatedly he told him, I am afraid he would not take it very seriously, this child, after learning a little fur from him, was a little arrogant and vain, but after all, it was his own son, and he was not good at saying those heavy words again, I just hoped that after he left, he would not plant too much follow-up.

After explaining to John, Zhou Ming's eyes were on George, the youngest son who was only 16 years old and had a personality very similar to himself and was very interested in invention and creation.

His youngest son was very talented, and at the age of 13, according to the blueprints he gave, he invented a powerful arquebus.

Perhaps knowing what his father's explanation meant this time, little George never spoke, just listened quietly, and when he heard that the Ural Snow Mountains could be climbed and there was a wider world behind him, his eyes lit up, arousing boundless curiosity.

"Dad, do you want me to fulfill your wish and help you see the world behind the Ural Snow Mountain?"

Zhou Ming didn't speak yet, but when he touched his gaze, little George seemed to know what he would ask, and spoke first.

George knew that his father's lung disease was already very serious, and every word he said was very difficult, and he was sensible and hoped to relieve his father's pain.

"George, you're one of the few kids...... The youngest and the smartest, Dad only has one word...... Keep your curiosity and thirst for knowledge, don't care about what others think, and go to... Go ahead...... Reach your heart for pursuit...... ...... of dreams ...... Land"

Perhaps it was a sigh of relief, Zhou Ming felt that he was getting more and more tired, his head was floating, and his body was gradually getting rid of the pain, and before losing consciousness, he seemed to hear the voice of his youngest son George, his wife Anna and two daughters crying in his ears.
