Chapter 20: Deterrence
"This is a wild horse that has been rampaging through the city from his men, and it is also an uninspected, wild horse that broke in from outside the city, and was captured by his men, and I asked the kitchen to add a dish for everyone," the baron said as he thought, ignoring the lord's meaning. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
And this lord left the scene directly without saying a word.
There was also a lord who walked with him, and he looked like a horse boy.
But the baron did not show any indignation, nor did he laugh, and calmly let the maids divide the horse meat for the guests.
At this time, the scene was a little quiet, only the sound of dishes, not the sound of people talking.
"Ladies and gentlemen, this time I Mingde has brought you two programs, I don't know if anyone wants to see it." Wang Xiaode interjected at this time.
"Well, I've heard a lot of novelties in Ronal's brother-in-law's territory for a long time, and this time I, Fendor, have also seen it, so that my father won't say that I don't know it," the eldest son of the baron on the side replied, and the two sang a double reed.
"Hahaha," the baron laughed heartily as well.
In Wang Xiaode's applause, a group of dancers floated to the center of the hall from the small doors on both sides, starting with an ordinary dance, and then it was a little unbearable, dancing all kinds of provocative dances.
In the end, two dancers emitted a white breath and began to fight. The scene suddenly entered a climax, and the atmosphere of the scene began to liven up.
These women were all trained by Wang Xiaode using several female bosses who were caught from the earth's chicken coop last time to train fighter slave girls and beautiful slave girls.
As for the three corrupt officials, they were also trained by Wang Xiaode and handed over to Old Jack for reasonable use. The child thief Liu Hongcheng was left in the jade pendant and was responsible for the allocation of drug cigarettes. To deal with this garbage in peacetime, Wang Xiaode only needs to exert a little power that they can't understand.
He even used hypnotic charms to brainwash them, making them feel very real in their dreams and being enslaved for several lifetimes.
The passionate performance of the beauties soon made the people on the scene forget the unpleasant scene just now.
While everyone was in the middle of their hearts, the angry lord had already galloped from the barony to his territory, and he was using the horse of the horseboy lord behind him. As for the horseman, he had to go back with his entourage.
The irritable lord, after returning to the territory, was a burst of outbursts, beating people, smashing things, and playing with women before it calmed down a little.
This lord was originally a subordinate of the new baron who was about to take office, but because he had to play the front station, and because he was not very liked by the new baron, he was kicked under the name of Baron Donaldson, which can be regarded as a waste.
And he didn't know that not long after he left the Baron's City, the cocktail party was still hot. The Baron's Castle has assembled a strong army of 5 junior swordsmen, 10 junior gladiators, and 20 regular knights.
As soon as the army of 35 people was assembled, it rushed straight into the territory of the angry lord, and in one night, directly killed the lord, captured 27 soldiers and more than 180 slaves.
By the time the news reached the ears of the other lords who had already returned to their respective territories, 2 days had passed. And the source of the news was brought by the messenger of the Baron's Palace.
And the slaves and goods they got were distributed to other lords. Each family was assigned 5-10 slaves. And Wang Xiaode is the 15 slaves who have made the most profits, all of whom are strong men.
The Baron's grace and power have been combined, and no one dares to have thoughts that they shouldn't have.
Wang Xiaode knew a rough idea of the baron's plan, but he didn't know that the baron's decision was so decisive and spicy, and Wang Xiaode had to re-examine this old man who had always been kind in his eyes.
"Sure enough, people should not be disgraced! I'm still a little tender" This also reminded Wang Xiaode that he should not underestimate the heroes of the world.
And just when Wang Xiaode sighed, there was a man kowtowing in the pouring rain outside Ronal's collar. The man was thin and burnt-eyed.
Tynan is the younger brother of the unlucky lord, who has been bullied by him because of his timidity and fear, even if he has become a lord, he has made military exploits on the battlefield, and he is still afraid of his people from the bottom of his heart. His people also used it to make it easy, and by the way, they helped him get a lord.
Therefore, Tynande has always been the only irritable lord who looks forward. This time, he suddenly heard that the Angry Lord had been killed by the Baron on the grounds of deliberate rebellion, which really scared Tynande's face.
In order to protect himself, in a hurry, he came to Ronald alone, but found that he couldn't go into the forest. Knowing that this Lord Ronal was not an ordinary person, he knelt outside directly and begged for help.
After all, Tainande is also a lord, and his subordinates dare not slack off, so they hurriedly report it. Because Wang Xiaode strictly ordered no one to enter the backyard of Mount Tai Palace, only Catherine, as Wang Xiaode's concubine, had the right to enter, but she could not enter the room, so she could only report outside.
Wang Xiaode was still meditating indoors at this time, and when he heard Catherine's report, he did not hesitate to meet the lord of Tynande in the main hall.
And this lord of Tynande was also sincere, as soon as he saw Wang Xiaode, he knelt down and climbed to Wang Xiaode's feet, and asked Wang Xiaode to come out to intercede with the baron, save his life, and his various promises.
He even told the background of the irritable lord cleanly, hoping to exchange it for his own life.
"Why don't you go directly to the baron, but find me here," Wang Xiaode asked to Tynande, after all, a lord ran to himself, who was also just a lord, for help, and the matter was a little sensitive.
"First of all, you are the baron's son-in-law, and you are able to speak, and since I have not had a holiday with you, you will not be angry with me because of the baron's affairs. If I go straight to the baron, I can't be sure that I won't be dealt with afterwards. And, "At the end of the day, the Thai language is a bit hesitant.
"And what?" Wang Xiaode asked.
"And I am optimistic about your ability, I have always been timid and afraid, but my eyesight has always been good, otherwise with my character, I would not have lived until now. You won't be mortal," Tynande replied.
"Oh? Where did you see that I wasn't an ordinary person? I'm just a little bit of an alchemist, just trying to make money" If ordinary people hear others say this, they may be nervous and think that they have the aura of a king.
But Wang Xiaode doesn't believe in this, if that's the case, any person can see that he is different, then he is not the enemy of the world.
"The main thing is that your territory is larger than ours, which means that you are willing to pay for land, and you are still so young, even the baron takes a fancy to you, so I think so." Thainan said in a somewhat undetermined tone.
"Oh? I see. Hahaha" Wang Xiaode was also a little funny when he heard such a reason, this has nothing to do with the king's domineering spirit, it is just that the magistrates of Dana City and Baron Donaldson value their alchemy level.
"Okay, you go back first, I'll help you go to the baron's place" Wang Xiaode also responded.
Then Wang Xiaode asked Catherine to go back and ask the old baron what he meant, and got a positive answer, and the matter of Tynand passed like this.
However, Tynande's report still had a great effect on the old baron, and the old baron did not want to offend another baron out of thin air, even if the other party still had a firm foothold here.
I didn't want to leave a hidden danger for myself, so I sent someone to inquire about the new baron's itinerary in advance, went over with gifts to express goodwill, and reported the so-called signs of rebellion of the knight lord in his territory and was exterminated.
An open and honest dialogue is conducive to easing conflicts.
Through this incident, the position of the Baron's Court was strengthened, and Ronald's position in the Barony of Donaldson also rose.
On this day, under the leadership of Tynand, several new lords came to the Ronald Territory. On the surface, I want to purchase some materials, especially potions, sugar, and salt, which are unique products, referred to as special products.
In addition, he wants to have some relationship with Lord Ronal, hoping to bring more benefits to his territory in the future.
If the other party has the support, then the baron may interfere less in the affairs of his own territory in the future, and the chances of his own children inheriting the knight's domain will be much greater in the future.
And Wang Xiaode was not as arrogant as he was with Tainande, and he had already stood at the door of the main hall to greet him.
The current Ronald Lords are not as good as they were at the beginning, and they have seen many things that are unimaginable for the knight lords on the way here.
The weirdness of the outer forests can also be understood as illusion scrolls that were bought with money, but large areas of land are not used to grow grains such as wheat, but to grow something called sweet potatoes.
The people and slaves of the realm did not live in the same village as the lord, but were relocated to the periphery, forming smaller villages with only a few families.
The village in the middle was transformed into a market environment similar to that of a city, and the farmhouses were turned into shops.
There are also huge pit squares outside the village, the special structure of the lord's house, and the hard work of the slaves, all of which give them the feeling of going abroad. If you hadn't seen the altar of the god of wilderness, you would have thought that this was under the rule of another kingdom.
"Haha, everyone, welcome, welcome, it is an honor for a few people to come to Ronal, please come into the house and rest" Wang Xiaode gave a very high enthusiasm and reception to several visiting lords who were interested in showing goodwill.
"Haha, Lord Ronal, you are so polite, quick, bring it up (this is said to the slaves around you) Lord Ronal, a little heart, I don't know if it can get into your eyes." In front of everyone's eyes, his attendant handed over a box, which was dozens of magic crystals of various sizes.
"Oh!" Seeing the magic crystal, someone from the lord next to him let out an exclamation, in the western part of the Anthony Kingdom, which is relatively poor in resources, demonic beasts are very rare, and only some sand beasts running from the desert may have a little hope of generating magic crystals.
And a low-level magic crystal has a certain possibility to help a demonic beast with the same attributes increase its strength.
