Drifting Snow City

Although it has been a while since the ogre scourge, the streets of Drifting Snow City are still much more depressed than before, and they are not as prosperous as before.

Part of it was because of the impact of the war, and part of it was because the rise of the Hunter family took a lot of popularity, plus Lint ran away and took away a lot of wealth.

Drifting Snow City still doesn't seem to have regained its vitality.

However, the Marquis Mansion of the Northland still stands majestically in the Drifting Snow City,

Although the ogre plague almost stripped off the underpants of the Marquis's Mansion this time, the emaciated camel is bigger than the horse, and the Lancet family is still the only master of Drifting Snow City...

…

"Bang!"

"If you don't have any money, do you want me to give you money? In the past, when the fourth child was in charge, why didn't you say that the money was not enough? ”

In the Marquis's Palace, the new successor of the Marquis of the Northland, Jaime was angrily slapping the table,

Since the Ogre Invasion Eastward, the Lancet's financial income has plummeted.

Originally, when Lint was there, he could barely support the operation, but now Lint has just left,

The problems of the Lancet family were exposed, and Jaime's joyful temperament was completely uncontrollable after inheriting the position of marquis.

Under his forcible push, he even wanted to restore the size of the Jingbei Army immediately, and now it has completely paralyzed the finances of the Lancet family.

The steward on the side did not dare to speak in the face of the angry Jaime,

In fact, I thought to myself, when Young Master Lint was in power, all kinds of expenses were well organized, and occasionally used the money of his own chamber of commerce to subsidize it, which was half of the God of Wealth.

When it comes to you, it doesn't matter if you can't give money, and you don't have a lot to spend money, so it's strange that you can.

"Where is the fourth child now?"

After the outburst, Jaime finally remembered this brother who had no feelings, but was quite profitable.

"Young Master Lint has been away from Drifting Snow City for a while, and I heard that he is now working under Lord Richard."

"This eats something inside and out."

"The expansion of the Jingbei Army will be suspended for a while, and this year's tax will be raised by 10%."

"Yes, Lord Marquis."

Although Jaime was very happy, he was not a fool in the end, and he still gave a temporary plan.

"Lord Marquis, haven't you thought about it yet?"

After the steward exited the room, a middle-aged man stepped out of the shadow in the corner of Jaime's room.

"The remnants of your Cult of the Rising Sun dare to hang out in front of my eyes every once in a while, you know, you are a rat that my father ordered to exterminate."

Jaime didn't seem surprised by the man's sudden appearance, and it was clear that this was not the first time the middle-aged man had appeared.

The man didn't seem to care about Jaime's threat at all, but a smile appeared on his face, if Marquis Wade was still there, he would never dare to take the lead,

Since Jaime didn't call for someone to kill him the first time, it only means that the fish has taken the bait.

"Lord Marquis, I have news here, I wonder if you are interested?"

"Say!"

Jaime was obviously not interested in playing dumb with the other party, and there was already some impatience in his tone,

The Marquis was more difficult than he had imagined, and Lancet's situation was worse than he had imagined, and the situation that Lint could barely hold on to when he was in charge of the house felt a little like he was going bankrupt.

"New news from the royal capital, Richard?? Earl Hunter is about to be made a marquis. ”

This news, if Lint presided over Snowdrifter City, would definitely be quickly sent to the table as important information, but after Jaime took the throne, most things were still in chaos,

The Lancet's own intelligence system is not as sensitive as the nightingale under the original Lint, and Jaime only learned such important news from the other party at this time.

"Bang!"

Jaime's clenched fist slammed into the table, and the strength of the knight's rank flew the heavy wooden table into pieces.

"Bullying me too much!"

If some chores such as financial problems and Lint's departure only annoyed him before, this news made him completely angry,

What is the title of the Rincester, the Marquis of Northland, the Randster House,

Although the Hunter family already had a big tail before, and the Lancet family was in the Northland and the Lancet family were in a confrontation posture,

But nominally, the Randster family is still the only marquis of the Northlands, and the title of Lord of the Northlands is still stable.

Now that the royal capital has given Richard the title of marquis, it is actually a tacit acquiescence that Richard may replace the Lancet family and become the new lord of the Northland.

"Wang Du, hehe."

After slamming the table in a vent, Jaime suddenly calmed down and let out a sneer.

"The Marquis seems to have made a decision."

The middle-aged man spoke when he saw that Jaime had calmed down.

"It's okay for me to convert to the Cult of the Rising Sun, but I have one condition."

"Huh?"

"There can only be one Marquis in the Northlands."

"Yes, we'll take care of that for you."

"Keep things clean and don't get involved with my Lancet."

"No problem."

Then Jaime waved his hand, as if he didn't want to see the middle-aged man dangling in front of him again,

The other party also disappeared into the shadows very interestingly, leaving Jaime alone in the room, sometimes sneering, sometimes frowning...

Father, it's not that I want to betray the kingdom, it's not that I want to break the iron laws of the kingdom, it's really the kingdom that is unkind, and I have deceived the Lancet family too much...

Zhenbei Pass

Light rain

It is said that spring rain is as expensive as oil,

Spring rain is indeed very precious for agriculture, if the weather is sunny and it becomes a large-scale spring drought, people may starve to death in the coming year.

In front of the gate, a cavalry squad was being inspected,

The clothes of everyone in the team are obviously a little wet, obviously in the rain for a short time, and they should have come all the way without stopping.

However, although this cavalry can see the color of wind and dust at a glance, it is not tired at all, all clothes and armor are neat, and the swords and guns are shining.

Anyone who knows a little about the army can feel a fierce aura rushing to their faces.

"Good day, Lord Richard."

This team is Richard and others who are going to the royal capital to be enthroned,

The cavalrymen were flying the clan flag of the Hunter family, and they were easily recognized by these soldiers guarding the gate.

These soldiers are all part of the River Valley Legion, and most of them have also participated in the battle to support the north, and they can be regarded as fighting side by side with the Hunter family.

Many people even remembered Richard's appearance and had already saluted Richard.

Richard nodded with a smile in response,

After the reorganization of Thor, the Legion of the River Valley has indeed improved a lot,

Looking closely, the soldiers on the city tower did not relax at all because Richard was an acquaintance, and they were still vigilant with knives and guns in hand.

However, the high vigilance of these soldiers has nothing to do with Richard, and he Richard did not come to fight in the river valley, and he went directly to the customs after being inspected.

"Master Richard, walk slowly."

After being inspected, Richard and the others continued to drive south, heading towards the first stop in the south, Bolai City.
