Chapter 139: Just by the way
Meng Han was indeed very angry and needed to find a place to vent, and Viscount Adrian of Stormwind City became his first choice to vent. Originally, Meng Han also planned to release the news of Austin's killing, so that Adrian would be more frightened, but now it seems that there is no need.
"What do you think, how about the title of Lord Stormwind City?" Whether it was public or private, Meng Han didn't want Stormwind City to be in the hands of others now. This is the only direct export of Huangsha Town, which is a hundred times better than the Silk Road, and if it is blocked again, Meng Han will have to subsidize the high living expenses of some residents himself.
"That's good, sir!" replied Grace and Alice in unison, looking at the now unhappy but scrappy lord.
"Recuperate here, I'll be back soon!" Meng Han let the two girls rest, and even left two personal maids and a few guards to protect him, while he took the four Gavin and more than forty warriors to embark on the journey to Stormwind City together. Joey and Julie are still recuperating from their injuries in their rooms.
As soon as they saw Meng Han's posture, it seemed that those guys who knew about the grudge between Meng Han and the Lord of Stormwind City immediately understood what Meng Han was trying to do. This kind of tilting between the aristocracy, where can ordinary people easily see it, and finally had the opportunity to watch it once, and many people followed directly with the mentality of watching the excitement.
Of course, more people, especially those members of the Chamber of Commerce who had a lot of votes in Meng Han's silk business, after getting the news, without saying a word, directly ordered the guards they hired to follow. They didn't follow to see the excitement, in the words of their boss, they were going to give Meng Han a hand. If someone dares to be rude to the lord, just do it!
Originally, it was only a small team of more than forty people, but by the time Meng Han and the others walked half the way, it had already become a large team of more than 2,000 people. Among them, the vast majority of them were merchant guards with weapons, and only the lord was the only one who looked at the horse.
Seeing the mighty brigade of men and horses, the faces of the city guards defending the city turned green. In a hurry, he closed the gates of Stormwind City and stood on the city wall and began to tremble. I can't help them not be afraid, even the toughest backer peak great sword master around the city lord has been cleaned up by the lord of Huangsha Town, what else can they do with the rest of them?
"I'm the lord of Huangsha Town, how much do I need to pay to enter the city?" Standing under the city, Meng Han didn't mind looking up at the soldiers who were almost already trembling. After reporting his name, Meng Han quietly waited for the reply of those people.
The biggest officer in the city was just a captain, how could he dare to be rude to Meng Han. But Meng Han's question, he didn't even know how to answer, so he could only be silent. But if he wants to open the city gate, he will never dare, the thousands of people who followed behind Meng Han, each of them did not look like a fuel-efficient lamp, give him a hundred heads, he did not dare and would not open the city gate at this time, especially when the face of the young lord of Huangsha Town was very unsightly. In the captain's heart, there was only one thought, and that was to report the person who reported it to come back quickly and tell him what to do.
"Open the door!" No one answered, and Meng Han didn't want to say anything more, just called out in a low voice, and naturally someone around him loudly spread this order to the city.
Under the excitement of the crowd, the guards did not dare to open the door. Their actions immediately aroused the dissatisfaction of the group of followers behind Meng Han. Except for the soldiers trained by Meng Han himself, all of whom stood still like rocks, the guards of those merchant groups had even begun to take out their weapons and shout.
Brush, Meng Han just waved his hand lightly, and the voice behind him was like a speaker that was suddenly cut off from power, all of which disappeared, leaving only a silent silence. This situation frightened the guards of Stormwind even more on the castle tower.
"Thorn in the ground! Thorn in the ground...... Ground thorns!" Meng Han softly shouted a dozen words in a row, and among the surprised eyes of those on the city wall and behind him, several thick ground thorns began to slowly rise from the ground.
To be exact, this can no longer be regarded as a thorn in the ground, it is square, it is simply a step. What's even more surprising is that the steps are all the same size, but each one has a different height. Starting from Meng Han's feet, each step after that was a suitable height higher than the previous one, just enough for people to lift their feet comfortably.
Everyone just watched Meng Han chant a few unintelligible magic spells in his mouth in a short moment, and they were stunned to find that a staircase appeared in front of Meng Han's eyes that could easily allow Meng Han to walk to the head of the city. What kind of magic is this, even the most knowledgeable people here have never seen it, or even heard of it.
Meng Han had already begun to walk up the steps, walking towards the city step by step, followed closely by Gavin. Meng Han's appearance didn't look like he was going to forcibly climb the tower of Stormwind City at all, but he was strolling leisurely.
It's just that Meng Han's hand scared the courage of those city guards on the city tower. How could people who even the pinnacle great sword masters dare to kill care about these little soldiers? Just now they were very rude to turn Meng Han away, and now that Meng Han has come up, do they still have their good fruits to eat?
I wanted to stop it, but at least a hundred people under the city tower were drawing their bows and arrows, pointing at the people on the city tower. Who ate the leopard's gall and dared to make a move at this time? The frightened captain could only watch as Meng Han walked up step by step with a calm face, but he didn't dare to move.
It's just that, even so, the captain and his subordinates can feel the dissatisfaction from Meng Han's heart, although Meng Han didn't say a word during the process of coming up, and didn't even make a single superfluous action, but everyone could feel that the wordless anger in his body was accumulating.
With a bang, the team leader had already knelt directly to the ground. Although he was not the culprit who directly caused the conflict with Meng Han, he knew very well how to deal with the people from Huangsha Town in the way he had been standing guard for so long. He didn't want Meng Han to count all this on his head, plus those actions just now, the current team leader just had an extravagant hope in his heart, and Meng Han's anger would not be vented on him.
As soon as the captain knelt, which of the soldiers behind him dared to stand, even if they were small soldiers, they were not fools. Everyone can see that if you want to live today, it seems that only the lord in front of you is happy.
"Where's that asshole Adrian?" Meng Han slowly walked up to the castle tower, walked up to the team leader who was trembling on his knees, and asked him a question.
"I don't know!" Just subconsciously said, the captain suddenly reacted: "I know, I know! My lord!"
"Take me there!" Meng Han's voice was not high, but it contained a majesty that could not be refuted. The captain who was kneeling on the ground nodded hurriedly, got up in a hurry, walked in front cautiously, and led Meng Han and the others forward.
Everyone behind Meng Han was excited and surprised, and followed the team in front of them and stepped on the steps of the city tower. No one dared to speak loudly, and quietly followed behind the lord.
Everyone could see that the lord was unhappy, but they didn't know why they were dissatisfied, so they could only point all the fingers at Adrian, the lord of Stormwind City, who was the one who made the lord dissatisfied. It's just that the people who are following behind now are becoming more and more afraid to speak loudly in front of the lord, and even make a little messy sound feels a little inappropriate, and it seems that the lord has not done anything frightening in front of them, which is very strange.
"My lord!" Bruce, who was indeed the head of the branch of the Mercenary Guild who hurried in front of him, saw Meng Han, his face changed, and he hurriedly greeted him. The Mercenary Guild was well-informed, and they got the news before Meng Han arrived in Stormwind City. Before he could react to what had happened, Meng Han had already arrived in the city. In addition to scolding the city guards who were in charge of guarding the city gates, Bruce could only meet Meng Han.
"My lord, is this what you are going to do?" asked Meng Han cautiously about his intentions, and Bruce was also weighing what to do if Meng Han and the Stormwind City Lord had a conflict today.
"I've come to discuss with the esteemed City Lord about the taxation of merchants from Huangsha Town in Stormwind City. Meng Han's voice was still so relaxed, not in a hurry. The reason is very legitimate, two nobles, a city lord, a small lord, nominally, one person's territory is the other's subordinate territory, and the two nobles discuss the taxation of the territory, even if His Majesty the King is here, he can't say a word that is inappropriate.
"But, these people?" Of course, Bruce didn't naively think that Meng Han really came to talk about these things, and he didn't have to follow a team of thousands of people to talk about such a thing. With so many people with weapons and murderous spirits, it is enough to attack Stormwind City directly.
"Oh, these people!" Meng Han turned his head to look, and everyone looked at Meng Han quietly. Meng Han turned around: "I don't know, maybe it's a drop-by!"
"yes, we came by the way. Someone behind him cleverly followed Meng Han's words, and then a large group of people behind him began to shout: "Yes, we are on the way!"
Bruce also showed a wry smile on his face, such an obvious thing could be said by Meng Han to be a passing, but he couldn't do anything to Meng Han, so he could only stand there and smile bitterly.
"What, don't believe it?" Meng Han knew what he thought as soon as he saw Bruce's appearance, but Meng Han still smiled: "Don't lie to you, it's really just a passing." ”
