At noon, three groups of visitors came to Rick's single house6.

The first batch was a big businessman in a green robe, with two heroic retinues who looked like generals, and they looked very unfamiliar. He named Rick, and the four phoenix attendants let him into the living room, and he didn't sit, just stood quietly. As soon as Rick came out, he immediately smiled and said, "Dare to ask if this is Ji Gongzi?" ”

Rick nodded and said, "Who are you?" I don't seem to know you. ”

"It doesn't matter if you don't know each other, the important thing is that I want to make friends with Ji Gongzi." After speaking, he asked one of his attendants to present a small brocade bag, and Rick opened it to see that it contained dozens of transparent and round pearls, each as big as a cherry, worth at least tens of thousands of gold coins. Rick tightened his bag and smiled, "What does this mean?" ”

"Make a friend, it's just a greeting gift."

"Okay, I'll take the gift, you can go." Rick replied casually.

The other party's face changed slightly, and after a moment, he smiled again, and said, "I heard that Ji Gongzi brought back two people from the ranch outside the city yesterday. ”

"Not bad. A killer, a robber. ”

"I want to ask Childe to let them go."

"Nope." Rick shook his head, "They're already my slaves. ”

"Ji Gongzi laughed, even if it is a slave, there is a price, so be it! I'll buy them with those pearls. ”

"You just said that it was a greeting gift, how can you not count talking?"

The anger on Shang Jia's face flashed and hidden, but in the end he endured it and said with a smile: "In this case, I can sell another twenty pearls and buy them." ”

"But I'm not short of money." Rick said helplessly, "I've never been in the habit of selling slaves. ”

"Ji Gongzi. We all take a step back. Of the two, I only need the red-armored woman. As for the other one, it should be a meeting gift for the son. ”

"But I never had any intention of going backwards."

Shang Jia smiled coldly: "It seems that our business may not be negotiated." However, since Childe has accepted my meeting gift, he should have expressed it. Otherwise, I'll take you to the garrison to see the officer. ”

"Excellent! I'm just going to see the official, so let's go. ”

Shang Jia was stunned for a moment, and his fierce expression immediately appeared, and he said, "You probably don't know who I am." The entire Qingcheng is under our control, and if you know each other, you will hand over the two of you, otherwise he will not be able to complain about me on the streets. ”

"Thank you for your teaching." Rick smiled, "Wind Squire, send off!" ”

The first visitors were invited out of the house on the grounds that they had been blackmailed by Rick for dozens of pearls. Although the visitor did not reveal any secrets, Rick still saw from his reluctant attempt to redeem the red-armored woman that the identity and background of the red-armored woman were quite not simple.

The second group of visitors was only one person, and the merchant went out with his front foot, and he came in with his back foot. It was none other than Feng Mengna. He came to deliver an invitation to Rick's banquet. In order to completely solve the potential crisis, the Caiyun Mercenary Group decided to contact the leading figures of all parties in Qingcheng. Together, put pressure on the forces hiding behind the scenes. If Qingcheng was just a purely commercial city, this method would undoubtedly be a self-inflicted weakness, but now it is different. Although the Guyun County of the Shang Alliance has not been divided by other countries in several wars, the forces of all parties have infiltrated all walks of life here. Don't look at the major businessmen in the city who are doing business on the surface, but secretly they all have a mission, representing the major powerful regimes on the big 6. Therefore, if the Caiyun Mercenary Group revealed the details of the forces behind the scenes, it would be tantamount to exposing their ambitions to Guyun County, and their countries would definitely not sit idly by.

Rick was surprised that he was also invited, so he asked Feng Mengna, who smiled mysteriously and said, "This is what our head meant." The Ji brothers are eligible to attend the banquet. ”

"Is your regimental commander the one--"

Feng Mengna waved his hand and said, "You will understand in the future." ”

The third visitor was Rick's biggest headache. The people who came were the lady of the lord of Fenghua City and her maid Farri. The city lord's wife seemed to be deliberately dressed up, combing an elegant woman's bun on her head, inserting a jade golden step, and a well-tailored floor-length green gauze dress, which made her even more glamorous, mature, and peerless.

Her body had recovered, and Rick could tell from her steady gait. This should be the first time that the Lord's wife has seen Rick in person, and although the two had intimate contact last time, she was in a coma. Therefore, her eyes kept on Rick's face, and after a long while, she muttered, "Sure enough, it's very similar, if it's not a little young and childish, it's just a copy of Uncle." "The uncle she said is the city lord of Fenghua City, Gus? Permon's younger brother Xia Hua? Permon.

"Is there anything wrong with the city lord's wife looking for me?" Rick asked cautiously.

"What do you say?" The Lord's Lady asked in a strange tone, as if she was holding back the anger in her chest, or maybe resentment at all.

Rick was stunned and said, "I'm sorry, I don't know. ”

"What have you done to me, will you know?" The city lord's cheeks flushed, but her tone was cold.

Rick was inconvenient to argue, and said aggrievedly: "I don't think it's offensive, it's forgivable, not to mention--"

"Besides, it was my maid who ordered it, so it has nothing to do with you. But she didn't get my consent, and now I'm going to make her cut herself, and you will pay for her life. ”

"That's not the case." Rick snorted, he knew that sooner or later there would be trouble with the city lord's wife, but he didn't expect it to be so big.

"Actually, there's another way--" Farri whispered to the side, looking at her guilty face, as if she had done all the wrong things in her eight lifetimes. However, Rick didn't believe it, and the two women made it clear that one sang black face and the other sang red face, in order to force him to agree to the following conditions.

Let's hope the conditions aren't too excessive. Rick secretly prayed to the gods.

Farri continued: "Madame and I both think that you look very similar to the Second Young Master, that is, the younger brother of the City Lord, Young Master Xia Hua. Therefore, I want to ask Gongzi to be the young master of Xia Hua and inherit the current title for the Peimeng family. ”

"What do you mean? How can I inherit the title? Rick was surprised.

Farri explained seriously: "The title of the city lord is a third-class marquis, which cannot be inherited, but the Peimeng family has all died because of the rebellion in Fenghua City, and I believe that Her Majesty the Queen will posthumously crown the city lord as a first-class marquis, so that if the Peimeng family has a male lineage, they can inherit the title of first-class viscount." But now the lady does not know whether it is a man or a woman, and if it is a boy, it can be inherited, but if it is a girl, it is impossible to inherit the title. Therefore--" (Note 1: The inheritance method of the title of the Blue Moon Empire, the ancestral title is earl and above, and the title is first-class, and the descendants of the descendants can refer to their title to descend to two levels of inheritance, but the duke title is not limited to this limit.) In other words, no matter what rank the ancestor received the title of duke, his descendants can inherit it according to the previous principle of succession. Farri still doesn't know that the Queen of the Blue Moon has been posthumously crowned Gus? Permon is the Duke of the Empire, and although the title is only of the third class, his successor can still be directly made a third-class count. Note 2: The titles of the Blue Moon Empire are divided into duke, marquis, earl, son, and male, and each level of title is divided into three ranks. The Queen of the Blue Moon didn't directly point out the posthumous Gus in the court? Permon was a duke of several ranks, and the officials responsible for handling the promotion of noble titles were to be recorded as "third class" according to custom. ）

"That's why you chose me to take the role of the lord's younger brother to inherit the title. I will not do the great crime of deceiving the king. ”

"Then you can choose the former option." The city lord's wife said lightly.

Rick grimaced and said, "If you give birth to a daughter, then won't I be a fake viscount for the rest of my life?" ”

"Not for a lifetime." The city lord's wife faintly revealed a sense of pleasure in punishing others in her words, "My daughter has grown up, and if you find the right person to join her, you will be free." ”

"How long will that take?"

"Twenty years at most."

"Twenty years?!" Rick groaned and suddenly felt dizzy, this is the price of trading with a woman! He "sighed" in his heart.

When Rick was forced to make a trade with someone who came, in the room on the other side of the courtyard, there was a room of women. The moon attendant asked strangely, "Sister Chrissy, why did you allow your son to be bullied by those two women." ”

Chrissy smiled: "It's too early to say who bullies whom, Childe also needs a place to stay, and he can't wander aimlessly anymore." Although this time it's pretending to be someone else, maybe it's the chance of the childe. ”

"What chance?" Curiously the little girl Emma asked.

Qinglu continued: "An opportunity to change the fate of everyone in Lanjiang may have been doomed in the dark and cannot be avoided." We follow him, just to assist him, preferably not against his decisions. The road is made by himself, and he will know what he wants to do. ”

Rick "tearfully" agreed to the "loss of power and humiliation of the country" selling agreement, of course, his love of business led him to fight for a right for himself in the end: he could impersonate Xia Hua, but only in name. If his survival no longer matters whether or not the Permon family has received a knighthood, he has the right to choose to leave. The city lord's wife immediately agreed.

Next, Rick faces the most painful thing in his life - reciting a family tree. A thick family tree, just reading the name takes half a day, not to mention the detailed memory of the individual's life. Especially in recent generations, the Permon family has been quite proud of officialdom, and the number of family members has increased dramatically, and the number of their life deeds has made Rick dumbfounded. Under Jean Heart and Farley's supervision, these will be his compulsory courses. As a result, two first-time teachers and a student who did not learn or know how to "study" the genealogy until the sunset. Thinking about it afterwards, Rick felt unbelievable that he could be reprimanded by two women for most of the day for such a boring thing. After thinking about it, he summed up a sentence: One misstep becomes a thousand hatreds! (To be continued......)
