"Sir William!"

The Count's wife, Madame Emmaris, spoke in a thick and greasy voice, as sweet as cheese and honey: "No! Perhaps I should call you Baron William...... We have met several times at the Earl's banquet! ”

"The unfortunate news of the Earl, presumably the lady also knows, and I hope the lady will mourn!"

Wu Ming apologized: "Fortunately, Madame escaped from the castle, which is really gratifying!" ”

He had always had a doubt in his mind. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

In the case of the rebellion of the Viscount of Eagle Castle and the scheming and sudden attack of the Highland Knights, the Countess was able to escape smoothly, not only did she escape smoothly, but even took several children away with her, and successfully escaped the subsequent arrest, which is quite incredible.

But if the Countess is a witch with a spell and the master of the entire underground black market, then it all makes sense.

"Does the Earl know about Madame?"

After a moment of silence, Wu Ming suddenly asked.

"What's the matter?"

Lady Emmaris chuckled, staring at Wu Ming with eyes like the night moon: "Is it a witch's business?" Or is it an underground black market? ”

"Madame admitted?"

The speculation confirmed, and Wu Ming's face also became solemn.

A witch, plus the master of the black market underneath, basically controls half of Wuthering City, which is enough to cause a little trouble for yourself.

Of course, the other party's appearance here tonight is a sign of softness and looking for the possibility of cooperation.

It's just that the bottom line of the two sides still needs to test each other.

"Yes, the operation of the underground black market is indeed related to me!"

Madame Emmaris confessed: "The Count does not know about these things, including my status as a witch! ”

'Poor Earl of the Blue Mountains......'

Wu Ming mourned in silence for his former feudal monarch in his heart: "Madame didn't go to the Xiongshi family and the Viscount of Eagle Castle, but she came to find me, I don't know what to ask for?" ”

Emmaris hesitated.

Originally, even though Sir William was a very powerful warrior, she was sure that with her charm and some inherited spells, she would make him surrender under her pomegranate skirt.

But now, the moment she saw each other, she knew that nothing was possible.

"I am here on behalf of the merchants, and your curfew and other decrees have greatly damaged their interests!"

After a moment, Madame still spoke in a deep voice.

"I protect all legitimate business activities as long as they pay their taxes obediently!"

Wu Ming replied with a smile.

"You're reaching out to the black market?"

Emmaris's pupils shrank slightly, but this was also reasonable, she quickly weighed the pros and cons, and put forward a few conditions: "Then...... You must guarantee the rights of all the Black Market Merchant, as well as the right of passage of the Dark Mercenaries, and ......"

"Wait!"

Wu Ming looked at this woman who had to inch in: "I'm talking about 'legal'!" ”

He deliberately accentuated the tone of the last two words: "All actions in the black market must comply with my decrees, if you don't understand, Madam, you can go to Carlos to take a look!" ”

"Do you want to go to war?"

Emmaris's face suddenly became quite difficult to look at.

She naturally heard about what Karos Ling did, and she was dumbfounded by the number of free people over there, not to mention the activities of emancipating serfs, after carefully understanding Wu Ming's policies, she almost thought that Wu Ming was a saint and was ready to completely abolish slavery.

Half a step ahead of the times is a genius, one step is a madman!

Of course, Wu Ming also knew the proportions, and did not make drastic reforms at the beginning, even if the emancipation of serfs was conditional on redemption, and those who could really immediately scrape together enough money to redeem their share of land and become free people were still a minority.

In addition, slaves were not abolished completely, but heavy taxes were imposed on merchants who kept a large number of slaves, and a certain degree of guidance was given.

Even so, at this time, the Karos Territory, in the Wind Firefly Plain, already had the name of 'Free Capital', attracting the yearning of many serfs and slaves.

"If you enforce the decree of Karos Collar, you will not be seen as a provocation by the black marketeers!"

In order to protect the interests of the black market, the countess said coldly.

"If you say yes, then yes!"

Wu Ming didn't take a single step, there seemed to be a golden light flashing in his pupils, and in the next moment, Emmaris was a spirit, surrounded by a powerful death omen, as if she was under the watchful eye of a bunch of dragons.

Her face turned pale, and she couldn't help but fall silent again.

After a long time, Emmaris replied bitterly: "I have refined astrology, and I have a little power to see through the fog of the future...... I don't see the possibility of failure in you! ”

"If only you understood that!"

Compromise does not mean that there is no bottom line to retreat, once the other party is stubborn, Wu Ming does not mind spending effort to uproot the entire black market!

With his perception, coupled with the perception increase of the power of the people, and the location of the black market that he knew last time, the other party did not have much power to resist at all.

While subsequent retaliation may be troublesome, that's also a problem for the Night's Watch.

The wealth they had plundered from these black marketeers at the beginning, and the wealth they had accumulated over the years was enough for a while.

It's just that this witch actually has a little prophetic power, which makes Wu Ming a little surprised.

'It's a pity...... The real Great Prophecy can see fate, how can you, a little witch, peep into it......

The real prophecy should be to see the general trend of the world and grasp the destiny of heaven, at least with a world personality.

Other astrology, crystal prophecy and the like, are not only foggy, but when they encounter Wu Ming's power, if they don't want her to see it, they won't see it at all, and even deliberately release a false future to confuse the prophet, it can be completely done.

As a result, most of these prophets do not die well, and there are many schizophrenia who have since gone insane.

Emmaris bit her peach-like plump and bright red lips, as if hesitating, weighing the pros and cons, and finally she glanced at the dragon heart sword hanging from Wu Ming's waist, and finally made a decision: "You can get what you want, but you must follow one condition from me, the only condition!" ”

"Please!"

Wu Ming was noncommittal.

"I have a daughter named Edda, who is sixteen years old this year!"

Emmaris looked into Wu Ming's eyes: "I want you to marry her and be your wife!" ”

"If you do that! I assure you that all the black marketeers will spare no effort to support you in your final victory in the war, and there are other benefits you can't imagine! ”

Her voice was bewitching, like a venom that paralyzed the nerves: "I can tell you that the eldest son of the Earl has died with him, and several of his sons have also died in the rebellion, and if you marry Edda the Younger, you will inherit the title of Earl!" ”

Wu Ming couldn't help but squint his eyes: 'This woman ......'

As the third lady of the Earl, Emmaris had no sons, only several daughters, and it is not known whether it was related to the blood of witches.

And the death of the earl's eldest son in the war was an accident, but several concubines and young sons were also killed together in the war, only this countess escaped with her own daughter, is it too much of a coincidence?

If you think about the seemingly normal death of the earl's former wife......

Wu Ming felt that the beautiful witch in front of him had changed, like a honey wrapped in poison.

"Our Warcraft Count is not just my son-in-law!"

However, Wu Ming will not refuse the benefits of this door-to-door delivery.

As soon as he used the Dragon's Heart Sword and pretended to be blue-blooded, he had the intention of integrating the power of the blue-blooded princes of the Wind Firefly Plain.

In order to achieve this, he had to marry the daughter of a noble man of high prowess and pure blood.

There is no doubt that the concubine of the Earl of the Blue Mountains is the most satisfying of this requirement!

"Giggle......

Seeing that Baron William agreed, Emmaris had an excited look on her face: "How can the other sons-in-law of the earl be your opponents?" ”

There was a gleam in her eyes, and it was clear that this was a woman with a strong desire for power.

Wu Ming was secretly vigilant in his heart, and immediately smiled: "I have no problem...... You can rest here for the night, and then pick up your ladies tomorrow, and I'll announce that I've found you from Wuthering City, and I'm engaged to Miss Edda! ”

"A night's rest? Of course! ”

Emmaris was stunned for a moment, and then a bewitching smile appeared on her face......

……

Bang! Bang! Bang!

A few days later, more than a dozen wooden cannons roared in Wuthering City.

A huge iron bullet smashed into the center of the army, and under the terrifying impact, even if the knight was hit head-on, it could only turn into a meatloaf.

And the wooden cannons filled with broken iron pieces and iron nails are even more powerful weapons against ordinary infantry.

The cloth armor and leather armor on their bodies couldn't stop such a divergent attack at all, and in the fan-shaped attack range of the flowering bullet, it was almost a large piece.

"No, we must withdraw our troops!"

In the center of the phalanx, Viscount Garcia was on horseback, looking at this scene, as well as the blue tiger banner on Wuthering City, he couldn't help but say gloomily.

After the coalition, he had less than 5,000 men, and Sir Smith was quite rebellious and disobedient to orders.

On the other side, Baron William had 4,000 soldiers! And there is also the advantage of defending the city, and there are such terrible weapons.

"Retreat? Why retreat? ”

Sure enough, at the sound of the order, the infantry retreated like a tide, and Sir Smith came to him in a frustrated manner: "Have you forgotten the mission of the family? ”

"Watch your words, Sir Smith!"

Garcia's face was grim: "Baron William's strength is not inferior to ours, and you see...... Militia has already appeared in the city! What does this mean? It means that he has the support of the entire Wuthering City! Even if only 1 in 10 citizens are willing to fight for him, we will have to face tens of thousands! ”
