Sending away Lidastov, who had come to inform, the fat man's head was chaotic, and exhaustion came like a tide

"Why is this happening? Is this my fate?"

The fat man found himself being pushed by a pair of invisible big hands, and he was always inadvertently overwhelmed by sudden situations.

Zhivadine became independent, Djerber Castle went south, and the Dardanelles intervened

Any thing here is enough to be compared to a knife in your back, and it was unintentionally resolved by your own good luck, all the way to the present, it is definitely the result of your luck.

But the beloved Kurondianya disappeared without a trace under his nose, which had to make the fat man ask himself

"How long can your good luck last?"

If it weren't for the inadvertent thought of Rivadin, the army of Fort Derber would have settled in their back garden long ago, and what else could they do but jump their feet in the Sathero fortress?"

Dark arrows are always harder to dodge than open guns,

How many prominent figures in history have conquered their opponents, but they have been shot by dark arrows from behind

Now that his power is getting bigger and bigger, there will be more and more eyes of conspiracy staring at him

"Can I survive this time, can I survive next time?"

When the fat man thought of this, his body was cold, and he couldn't help but be stunned,

For complex and difficult problems, fat people are never willing to spend time and energy thinking too much,

But this time, the fat man had to think about an important question

"I can't go on like this anymore, I have to build an intelligence network that can protect me."

That night, the fat man found Caesar Solon, who had just returned to Zhivadin

"Your Excellency, you want to build an intelligence network covering the south?"

Caesar Sauron heard the fat man's mention, his eyebrows frowned slightly, and when he saw the fat man's look of hope, it seemed that the fat man didn't know what it meant to establish such a huge intelligence network, so he had to remind him cautiously

"My lord, it is a very expensive thing to establish a complex and huge intelligence network, not only does it cost millions of gold coins every year to buy the henchmen of the lords in various places, but also there is no guarantee that the information we get is absolutely reliable and true, even if we find out that the other party has betrayed us, we can't help it, it is easy to buy one person, it is difficult to buy the entire south, it is really not a wise thing to do so!"

"Millions of gold coins every year! Such a large amount of money, even if you smash the pot and sell iron, you can't make it up."

The number in Caesar Sauron's mouth frightened the fat man,

Some time ago, Tong Guò robbed the treasures of the Kugit people, confiscated the property of the nobles of Zhivading, and the fat man made a lot of savings, but in addition to the military merit rewards, territorial land development, and weapon forging, now there are only about two million left.

This money is not much, but it is not much, but it is all used to establish an intelligence network, and it will be supported for three years at most.

"This is simply killing chickens and taking eggs! Three years later, I will be a poor egg who can't pay a military salary."

The fat man counted his family background with his fingers, and the more he calculated, the whiter his face became, and he muttered to himself

"I thought he was a rich man, but he was almost like a small landlord in the countryside!

This year's taxes will not be collected until the autumn, and there are still four months to go, and the fat man who will pay taxes this year has long been no longer expected, and in order to settle a large number of displaced people, Samar has adopted the method of paying grain to offset taxes

This year, there is a shortage of soldiers, even smuggling predators like Lidastov have been arrested, who dares to run around doing business, it is foreseeable that the income of the three counties will definitely not exceed 300,000 gold coins,

In addition to the newly occupied Gerbo Fort, which is still relatively rich, the other two counties want to get some food, and if they want gold coins, it is a fool's dream, and they can't find a target if they want to pretend to be robbers and rob nobles

"300,000?, even if you don't eat or drink, you can't afford to last three months!"

It's not that I don't know, the world is wonderful

The tight territorial finances made the fat man hang his head in frustration,

His whimsical idea was vetoed by Caesar Sauron, a demon, which made the fat man very depressed

"Caesar Sauron, to be honest, is there nothing we can do?"

Caesar Sauron shook his head helplessly, and hesitated

"Unless we have a high prestige and reputation, or can attract the support of some local lords, so that we can form an alliance, form a regional information network."

"Reputation, prestige? This thing can almost be ignored by oneself, and it is good that you are not scolded as a warlord."

The fat man blinked, sighed helplessly, and waved his hand at Caesar Sauron

"You go down first, I want to think again!"

The fat man who sent Caesar Sauron out of the hall inadvertently looked up, and saw that half of the sky outside was red by the bright light, and his face turned pale.

"When did the city catch fire? Why didn't I get a report!"

It was only after the appearance of the Kulondienya time that the fat man was particularly annoyed by the slow delivery of the news, and angrily scolded the guard at the door

Konoe was baffled by the fat man's anger and didn't know how to answer

Caesar Sauron, who was beside him, raised his head, followed the fat man's eyes, saw the red light in the sky in the distance, and smiled

"My lord misunderstood, isn't there a fire somewhere, have you forgotten that the ten-mile Changhong Street is not night and day? That's just the lights of the ten-mile Changhong Street!"

The fat man looked up and carefully looked at the sky that was stained red by the firelight in the distance, and found that it was indeed the direction of the southeast business area of Zhivadin, and touched his head with an embarrassed face

"There have been too many things recently, I'm too busy and dizzy, as the city lord of Zhivadin, I haven't even seen the night of the legendary city that never sleeps, it's a pity, it's really good to have you as a guide today, go, accompany me to see the night of Zhivadin"

This time, in addition to Caesar Sauron, the fat man only asked the captain of the guard, Salon, to choose four strong and capable guards to follow him, and he accompanied him in civilian clothes

The southeast business district was originally not very far from the city lord's mansion set up in the noble south street, with the southeast business street as the dividing line, and the dark night was divided in half here.

The fat man's carriage could not pass through the intersection of the commercial street, and the crowd in front of it blocked the intersection tightly

Tonight was the traditional Midnight Festival in Zhivadine, and the crowd was three times more than usual, so the fat man was frightened by the sudden red sky.

The hundreds of thousands of inhabitants of the city of Zhivading seemed to have all come out tonight, and the streets were crowded in dense numbers, and the wide streets that used to carry four carriages seemed narrow and crowded

The noise could be heard even by the fat man who was still a street away

"My lord, let's get off the carriage! If you want to see the real city that never sleeps, you still have to go."

Caesar Solon opened the carriage door first, and the fat man stepped out of the carriage, and the noise around him came like a tidal wave

The lively and noisy scene stunned the fat man

The young woman holding a child on the street, the pretty girl walking hand in hand, the brightly lit shops on both sides stretch into the distance, like a little star, and the endless stream of people shuttles in and out, with no end in sight.

On the high platform on the side of the road, the funny clown with a white face is shouting hard, and in the melodious and lively sound of the satisk huqin, the dancers with flowers and branches are like dancing butterflies, attracting cheers below

The rhythmic notes of the roadside tavern tease the nerves of passers-by, and the night is not concluded here, and tonight, the citizens of the whole day will party until dawn

"Ten miles of long red street, no sunset!"

Looking at the bustling downtown around him, the fat man was like a dream

This qiē is so familiar, and so strange

It's just that modern times have been replaced by ancient times, and they are no longer themselves

I don't know how long I walked, Caesar Sauron suddenly pointed to a fork not far away, and said with a smile on his face

"My lord, along this road, you can go to the ten-mile long red street, which is the essence of the whole Zhivading! It would be a pity if you didn't see it."

The fat man's face hesitated, the red light at the fork was obviously much dimmer than here, but it was also more ambiguous, and he could occasionally hear the bewitching and charming woman's voice from there, and the delicate and flirtatious people's hearts were itchy

"Ten miles of long red street?"

Fat man is not stupid, such a distinctive name, as long as it is a man, he can guess it, but no one picks it out, it is estimated to be the same tone as the ten miles of Qinhuai night in ancient China.

"To go, or not to go?

Any virgin hesitates in the face of such temptation,

Fortunately, the fat man was a virgin in this life, not in the previous life, and he quickly made a decision that any man would make

"Let's go, let's take a look, as the owner of Zhivadin, we have to pay more attention to people's livelihood."

The fat man nodded firmly, and the monkey was the first to rush towards the dark red

"Pay attention to people's livelihood!"

Hearing the fat man's words, Caesar Sauron was speechless

"People can't be shameless to this point!"

This is definitely the first time that the fat man has visited a brothel in this world (the author assures), and the fat man is really looking forward to what the brothel in this world is like.

The sullen personality is undoubtedly revealed, and the fat and trembling body is running away, how can there be a little hesitation just now

"Come on, come on, fat man, I have a gun, I'm not afraid of anything, let the long legs of the beautiful woman kill me!"
