Chapter 12: The Secret of the City-State
The Capua Chamber of Commerce, a comprehensive business group, has an indisputable hegemony in the Eastern Continent, and basically any country or city-state has their presence, and even in some small countries their status is higher than that of some rulers, after all, they are the people who hold the economic lifeline of the entire Eastern Continent.
"Why are the people of Capua here?" asked Yi Tianqiu.
"I don't know. ”
"Doesn't the city lord know about this?"
"He doesn't usually show up here, he only comes at the end of each month when the accounts are collected. ”
Seeing that he couldn't ask anything, Yi Tian once again sealed the guard's mouth and eyes with the power of darkness. The tree house was in front of him, Yi Tian tiptoed to the side of the house, and at this time the door opened and a tall thin man came out with a smile on his face, and he said polite words while sending it, and they didn't find Yi Tian hiding in the dark.
"I'll leave it to you. ”
"Don't worry, Boss Mo, in the future, the entire Green Forest City-State will be you and me, hahahaha!!"
Hearing this, Yi Tian secretly poked out half of his head, the fat-bellied man under the moon laughed and talked and laughed with the tall and thin man, and his gorgeous clothes Yi Tian knew at a glance that it was worth a lot of money, especially the snow wolf velvet coat was worth a thousand gold.
When the fat-bellied man turned around, Yi Tian was taken aback, he never expected that this man would be the city lord who greeted him at the city gate that day, and the iconic fan-eared Yi Tian would never admit his mistake. No wonder this guard dares to make a big fuss in the city, building a city defense, it turns out that there is a city lord behind it, so why is this? He is already the king of this green forest city-state, what else does he want? Yi Tian quickly withdrew and flashed into the house, he had to figure out all this tonight.
The tall and thin man turned around and went back to the house and had been lying on the bookcase and was busy with something, Yi Tian hid on the beam and squinted, but because the distance was too high, he couldn't see anything, and just as he wanted to lean in to take a look, there was a knock on the door again. At this time, I saw the tall and thin man panicked and stuffed a small notebook under the bookcase, and then got up and went out.
At this moment, seeing the thin and tall man go out Yi Tian jumped off the beam, he took out the booklet from under the bookcase with a familiar way, only to see that there was no word on the cover of the booklet, he opened it and looked, and all that came into his eyes were the words in the form of symbols, which made Yi Tian have a big headache, he could be regarded as having seen the words of many countries, but he didn't know any of the words in front of him.
Just when Yi Tian was stunned, the tall and thin man had already come back perfunctory.
"Who are you!" the tall and thin man was taken aback, he didn't expect there to be anyone else in the room.
Seeing that he had been discovered, Yi Tian's figure flashed in front of the thin and tall man, and with a blow of dark power sealed his throat, Yi Tian quickly blew out the lights in the room, and dragged the thin and tall man to the bookcase.
"Say, who the hell are you?" Yi Tian temporarily lifted the seal between the thin and tall throats.
"You, who are you!"
Yi Tian slammed his finger on his chest, "I'll ask you to answer, and then I'll waste you." ”
"Who the hell are you?"
The thin and tall man He had experienced this kind of scene, and he was already a little out of breath after the blow to the chest, "I'm Ka, Kapua is stationed in the green forest, and the branch leader ........."
"The original guard here
Where's the Guard?"
"He, he was killed by the councillor. ”
"Who are the trustees?"
"It's just a fat guy who just went out........."
Yi Tian was a little stunned when he heard this, wasn't the fat man who just went out the city lord?
"Why did the city lord kill the captain of the guard?!!" Yi Tian pressed his fingertips against the branch leader's throat.
"I'm telling the truth, the captain of the guard was dead before I came............... the branch leader said with tears in his face.
"What did the Kapua Chamber of Commerce send you for?"
"I really don't know that........."
Yi Tian stared into the eyes of the branch leader, and it took a long time to let go of the restraint on me, because he was sure that this branch leader really didn't know.
"What does this pamphlet say?"
"The writing used within our Kapua at this time, it is said that it was invented by our president. ”
"Do you understand this page of the Heavenly Book?"
"If you can understand some of it, each of our expatriate branch presidents will get a translation before leaving, and we will write reports based on this translation. ”
"Where is the translation?"
"I just gave it to the director?"
Yi Tian didn't question it this time, after all, no one can lie under soul magic. Under a blood-red injection, the branch leader fell to the ground, Yi Tian did not kill him, but let him fall asleep, and by tomorrow, he would completely forget everything about tonight, including his own arrival.
※※※※※※※※※※※※
When the morning light of the next day sprinkled all over the green forest city-state, Yi Tian had already gotten up early, although he hadn't slept all night, he was very awake at the moment, he thought about it again and again and decided to tell Feng about it, after all, this was no longer his business alone, and it might have threatened the entire Varea Alliance to some extent.
Today is the day of departure of the Harris Pioneer Army, the previous wounded have improved significantly after the treatment of the past few days, although they still can't ride, but they can barely bear the pain of this bump, and there are not a few days left from the agreed return day, if they don't return on time, it is estimated that the eldest sister will be scolding again.
"Feng, I have something to tell you. Yi Tian thought about it for a long time and still found Feng.
"Is it the ruffian guards?"
"It's not that simple anymore. ”
"Did you already go last night?"
"Yes, and I also saw an old acquaintance. ”
Feng was very curious about who Yi Tian's old acquaintance would be at this time, as far as she knew, Yi Tian was coming to Vorea for the first time!
"It's our lord of the city, I saw him talking secretly with the branch president of Capuya last night. ”
"What?Capua, City Lord?" Feng Nao couldn't accept so much information for a while.
"Behind the reckless actions of the guards in the entire city are the city lord's covert support, and Capua is the backstage of the big chamber of commerce in your mouth. ”
"Why?"
"I don't know the specifics, but I know that the lord of this green forest city-state is definitely not a good person, maybe he is secretly plotting something. ”
"I must report this to my father, and you and I will leave for Lear now. ”
Mighty
Harris's vanguard army withdrew from the city in an orderly manner, and at this time, the lord of the city-state who went out of the city to see him off was also the lord of the city-state, and this time he saw that he had faded from the gorgeous mink velvet, and instead came to see him off in armor, which had to make people suspicious.
"Commander Feng, why did you leave so quickly, don't wait a while!"
"Hahaha, I'm sorry, I received a military order when I went out of the city, and if I don't return on time, I will have to collect military law. Feng replied half-truthfully.
"Why is the city lord wearing a military uniform today, is there a military operation?" Yi Tian asked from the side.
"It's really a joke, where did the military operation come from in a corner of my green forest city-state, but I have nothing to do today to come out to hunt. ”
"Then I wish the city lord a full return!" After saying that, Feng turned his horse and led the team away.
Behind Feng, the city lord had a big belly, a hint of a sinister smile on the corner of his mouth, and said to himself, "This time, none of you want to take out my palm." ”
The city-state of Greenwood can be said to be one of the largest city-states in the entire western part of Valea, not only because of its geographical location that makes it perennially safe from the danger of the neighboring states, but also on the outskirts of his city-state, a few years ago, some gold prospectors discovered a large number of gold mines, this discovery immediately shocked the entire Valrea League. For a time, gold prospectors from countless small countries within the alliance flocked here, and in just a few months, more than a dozen mining villages, large and small, were built on the outskirts of the city-state. It is precisely because of the existence of these mining villages belonging to different countries that the mining volume of the local city-state residents has greatly decreased, and the status of the green forest city-state has suddenly fallen from the original gold mining leader to the status of a subsidiary foil, which makes the city lord of the green forest city-state very angry. As a last resort, he had to unite with the big foreign chambers of commerce to squeeze out the gold diggers, and under the rounds of military suppression, those foreign gold diggers fled from here, but what followed was not tranquility, but a wave after wave of gold mine battles, basically for this gold mine, the green forest city-state and several neighboring city-states fell out, and the small country of Scalles on paper was also facing the fate of falling apart at any time.
Of course, Yi Tian didn't know all of the above, and the commander of the Harris Vanguard Army, Feng also didn't know much about it, once she and her father discussed the issue of the gold mine in the Green Forest City-State, but his father only said four simple words, don't interfere, and blocked her back, so if it wasn't for Yi Tian mentioning it this time, Feng wouldn't have cared too much about it.
"Since you said that it may be because of the gold mines, then why did the city lord allow his soldiers to do evil on his own territory?" Yi Tian still couldn't accept Feng's answer.
"I think he is trying to use this to paralyze the other city-states. ”
"This can't be said, those neighboring city-states only value the gold mine, even if they have a big appetite, they won't want to annex the entire green forest city-state. ”
"The gold mine is not far from the city-state, if you want to completely monopolize the gold mine, you must solve the green forest city a few miles away, maybe that's the reason. Yi Tian boldly guessed.
"Don't think about it, when I get back to Lil and report it to my father, then we will know what to do. ”
"I hope so!" Yi Tian looked at the beautiful scenery on both sides of the path, the boulder in his heart could not land, in fact, everything he could have done had been done, and the rest should have been taken over by the people of Valea, but his enthusiastic heart could not be settled.
