In order for Youlan City to have a good ecological balance, and in order to be able to better rule the entire Youlan City, although the town lords of the thirteen towns have not yet pledged allegiance to Maren, Maren has issued an order to the town lords of each town, ordering that the armed personnel of each town shall not exceed five hundred, otherwise they will be sanctioned by the city lord.

After receiving this order, the town lords were about to cry, and they had the heart to unite again to resist Maren's brutal rule, but their own soldiers became prisoners in Youlan City, and the newly recruited soldiers did not support themselves psychologically because of Maren's benevolent government, and if they were forcibly sent to the battlefield, they might turn against them.

In desperation, the lords of the Thirteen Towns had to pick and choose from among the recruited soldiers, selected five hundred good soldiers, sent the rest home, and obediently handed over their letters of allegiance to Mullen.

In the month since he entered Youlan City, Ma Lun finally enjoyed the feeling of being in power, with hundreds of guards to open the way when he went out, and thousands of servants to serve him when he entered, but a poor boy from a third-rate university had never enjoyed such treatment, and he was happy to hug him every day.

But no matter how good the enjoyment is, there are times when it is tired, and Malen, who has enjoyed it for a month, has finally passed that freshness, and he can't lift his spirits anymore for the large group of people who are hugging him.

On the morning of this day, Mullen finished handling government affairs early in the city lord's mansion, ready to inspect whether his decree had been implemented.

This time, Ma Lun was not going to let the guards follow, so the guards outside the door found Anna, who was patrolling the City Lord's Mansion, and asked Anna to change into the clothes of an ordinary woman, and she also changed into a civilian's clothes, and the two of them went out of the City Lord's Mansion together.

Since becoming Maren's bodyguard, Anna has rarely gone shopping like this, and when she left the City Lord's Mansion, she pulled Maren through the crowd like a jade rabbit out of the cage.

Mullen is only in his twenties even if his real age is added, and he is also a young and frivolous year, and under the drive of Anna, he also lets go of the government affairs in his heart, and it is not comfortable to stop and go with Anna.

Whether it is in the past life or in this life, all women have a natural fanaticism for shopping, seeing the dazzling array of things in the store, Anna has long forgotten who is the master and who is the guard, and regards Malen as a free laborer, and her whole body is full of things that Anna bought, and in the end she can't hold it anymore before she remembers her space ring, so she puts all the things in the space ring.

Since it was not early when they went out, the two of them only walked around for a while before noon, and they were both a little bit.

Mullen and Anna then entered a restaurant called the Lawrence Hotel, asked for a private room, ordered some of the restaurant's specialties, and ate with a smile.

After only two minutes of eating, Mullen was attracted by the conversation of the two men next door.

"Ackerman, when is the master going to send troops?" A man asked.

He asked in a very small voice, but as a druid, Mullen had already practiced to the point where he could hear the falling leaves, and their conversation could be heard clearly.

Maren made a silent gesture to Anna, who was still chattering because of excitement, and pointed to the private room next door, and the smart Anna instantly understood Marlen's purpose, and stopped talking and listened to the movement next door.

"Yur, what are you in a hurry, the master is gathering mercenaries in Bill and Yacheng, and it will be completed in half a month at most." The other man replied.

The city of Billia is located to the west of the city, next to the city of Orchid, and the lord of the city is Ulysses Billia.

"You don't know that the new kid has some means, Bradley, Quintus and Aprilo, the three old guys, are willing to be a dog for him, and take advantage of that kid's unstable foundation to quickly eliminate him, I'm afraid it'll be too late." The man named Yule replied.

"Do you think that the master doesn't know that the longer the time drags on, the more disadvantageous it will be, but the master left in too much of a hurry when he left, and he didn't take a lot of belongings with him. The city lord of Bill and Yacheng is an insatiable fool, who only thinks about borrowing land money from his master, and if he doesn't give much, he will make things difficult for his master in every way, and the fool doesn't want to think about whether he will have a good life if he lets Maren stand firm in Youlan City. Ackerman said indignantly.

"What a fool, doesn't he know the truth of cold lips and teeth?" Yule asked.

"Hey!" Ackerman sighed, "Don't talk about that, it's not something that a small character like us can control, we just need to do our own thing and wait for the master's army to be killed." ”

"What new task does the master have?" Yule asked.

"The master asks you to contact the officials and troops in the city who are loyal to the master, and when the master returns, he will receive the master." Ackerman replied.

"It's okay to say among the officials, that kid has used a lot of stunned young people who have just been recruited in key departments during this time, and he has really offended many officials." Yule paused for a moment and continued: "But it is not easy in the army, it turns out that many officers who are loyal to the master have been taken away by the master, and the current officers are either those who once opposed the master or the original rebels, plus the armies of the two sides are now completely disrupted, and no one can bring the army out." ”

"That, that......" Ackerman didn't say a reason for a long time, and finally sighed helplessly: "There will always be a way." ”

"When are you going back?" It was Yule's voice.

"Leave today, I have to bring the news you gathered to the master as soon as possible." Ackerman replied.

Then Mullen heard the sound of the two of them leaving the private room, and then Mullen led Anna out.

After leaving the door of the hotel, the two separated, one rode in the direction of the outside of the city, presumably Ackerman, who was going back to deliver the news, while Yule walked in the other direction.

Maren and Anna immediately followed Yule, watching Yule walk into a three-in, three-out courtyard, it seems that Yule still has a lot of property, and it is very likely that he is an official of Youlan City.

After knowing the location, Mullen immediately returned to the City Lord's Mansion and sent someone to call the City Administrator Appledo to the City Lord's Mansion to ask about Yule.

For Yule, Apredo was still very familiar with it, and immediately replied: "Yule is the head of the armory appointed by Gullit, but since His Highness entered Youlan City, he was dismissed by His Highness because he was Gurlit's henchman, and now he has been idle at home. ”

"How many officials like Yule are there at home now?" Mullen asked.

Apredo thought for a moment and replied, "There should be more than twenty people, but most of them are based on flattery, and few of them are really talented. ”

"Oh!" Ma Lun responded, and then said: "You go back and count it first, and you can give me a list of such officials tomorrow." ”

Appredo said yes and appeared.

"It's time to create an intelligence agency of your own." Mullen thought: "That kid at Faubrans is good, although his talent for martial arts training is a little lower, but the advantage is that kid is clever, has eyes, and can see the subtleties." ”

So Mullen called Browns into his office and said to Browns: "You select two hundred soldiers with high martial skills and dexterity from the guards to form a statistical department, and you are the director, responsible for inspecting the dynamics of all officials in Youlan City to prevent officials from collaborating with the enemy. ”

"Faubrath will live up to His Highness's expectations." Hearing that the officials who had put him under surveillance in Orchid City, Browns knew that this was Mullen reusing himself, and hurriedly showed his loyalty, and then asked, "Can I properly interrogate the officials under investigation during the investigation?" ”

"No way!" Ma Lun immediately replied, Jin Yiwei's mistake Ma Lun did not dare to repeat: "You are only responsible for secretly monitoring the officials of various ministries, and don't let the officials know about the existence of your institution, the results of the investigation are only known to me, and I will let the respective departments and yamen try it." ”

Faubrans replied with a little disappointment, "I understand." ”

"You go and pick people, you must choose reliable ones." Looking at Furbrowns' slightly disappointed expression, Malen waved his hand and said, "After picking a good person, you will start with the former head of the armory, Yule, and then I will give you a list, you check it for me next to each other, but the results of the investigation must be kept secret." ”

"Yes!" With that, Faubrans withdrew.

After Folbrans left, Mullen fell into deep thought, and was awakened by an overheard conversation, who had always thought that the capture of Gloomy would be a victory, and had always been dismissive of Gurlit, the loser, and did not care about his existence, not even the reaction of the neighboring towns.

The sudden Yule incident sounded the alarm for Mullen, the Baggins family, who had ruled the city for hundreds of years, could not have a little background, and even if Gurlit's rule was brutal, there was always a group of loyal servants who died for it.

The time of his rule in Youlan City is still short, the harm of starting empty-handed is the lack of followers who can serve him to death, the current Youlan City seems to be calm, everything is in his own control, who knows how many people will be in their hearts once the war breaks out, and what this war says can not happen in the territory of Youlan City.

Thinking of this, Mullen suddenly stood up and shouted outside the door: "Someone! ”

"Your Highness." The guards outside the door came in and saluted.

"Get me the captains of each building!" Maren commanded.

"Yes!" The guard said and withdrew.

At this time, Anna walked in with a teacup, and when she heard Mullen's order, she put the teacup down and asked, "It's getting dark, is it for the sake of Gurlitt to call the captains of the buildings in such a hurry?" ”

Maren nodded, picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea, the temperature was just right, and said: "Gullitt is fighting hard, we can't passively wait for him to fight back." ”

"You were able to defeat him in one battle when he was in his prime, and now that he has become a lost dog, what is there to fear?" Anna asked, a little confused.

"You don't understand, it's a fluke that I was able to defeat Gullit and the Thirteen Towns coalition. At that time, they were all exhausted, and my Warcraft army attacked suddenly, plus they hadn't seen so many Warcraft attacking at the same time, which made the soldiers on both sides panic, and ten percent of the strength could not be exerted, so I had a chance. ”

Saying that, Maren sat down again, let Anna sit down next to him, and continued: "Now it is different, Gurlit's ability to recruit troops in Bill and Asia City shows that he has received the support of Bill and Iacheng, even though Gurlitt was like a lost dog when he fled, he still took a lot of money with him, and he has many loyal advisers around him, and his strength should not be underestimated. ”

"Look at our side again, my Warcraft army is many, but the level is too low, there is no advantage in surprise attacks, and in frontal combat, I can top an army on the top, this is one of them."

"Second, I have just ruled Youlan City, although I have done some things that conform to the will of the people, but the time is still short, and I can't achieve the people's heart, if I can win on the battlefield, if I can't win, there will be a danger of collapse at any time."

Listening to Maren's words, Anna was also a little flustered, and asked anxiously: "Then what should we do, we can't give up Youlan City." ”

"Of course not!" Mullen smiled and said, "Don't be too anxious, I just planned for the worst, in fact, we also have our own advantages." ”

"Really!" Anna asked nervously.

"Of course! As you just said, Gullit is now a lost dog, has lost his foundation, and only rules the old ministry with the remnants of the past, and we cannot afford to fail, let alone fail. Mullen analyzed her: "Although Bill and the city lord of Yacheng promised to help Gurlit, but after all, they are in the same bed and have different dreams, and they can't play their normal level at all, and all our current troops are in my hands, it can be said that we are united, and our chances of victory are great." ”

"Then what you just said is so serious, it just scares me." After listening to Mullen's analysis, Anna finally didn't worry so much, thinking of Mullen's intimidation of herself just now, she glanced at Mullen and said coquettishly.

Anna was carefully dressed up before coming in, the neckline of a big red silk skirt was opened very low, revealing a plump ****, her face was like a hibiscus, her eyebrows were like willows, her eyes were more charming than peach blossoms, her skin was like snow, her black hair was pulled into a high beauty bun, and her beads were dazzling in the sun.

Seeing Maren's expression, Anna was also happy in her heart, she finally didn't dress up in vain, and the maid who made up herself must be rewarded well.

Ellen gently walked to Anna's chair and stretched out her right hand, and Anna, who was slightly panicked, quickly stood up, at this time Mullen's hand had touched the hair around Anna's ear, and her fingers slid down Anna's cheek to her chin.

"Your Highness, the captains have arrived." When Maren wanted to make further moves, the guards outside the door interrupted the moment.

"Got it!" Tun, who had been interrupted from his good deed, replied angrily: "Let them wait in the conference hall, and I will be there immediately." ”

The guard didn't know why the Duke was angry, but he knew that he would be unlucky if he didn't flash, so he said yes through the door and left quickly. (To be continued.) )
