"We, in the Aylas region, have previously denied requests for access to the territory due to the defense of the spies on the Alien Plane. We apologize for any loss caused. Now that the Alien Spy has been caught, all regions can be reopened. At the same time, we want to buy a shipment of food from Lord Count to meet our needs in the city of Ayras. Of course, you can continue to send people to buy slaves in our city of Ayras and recruit your people. "In the council chamber of Zhao Feng's Earl's villa in the city of miracles, Osborne, the eldest son of Earl Bourne, talked eloquently to Zhao Feng, he was the envoy sent by Earl Bourne to envoy Zhao Feng.

Osborne is much thinner and more mature than before. The beloved married someone else's wife, and the family encountered a great crisis, and everything made him mature quickly.

At the beginning, in the name of defending against the spies of the different planes, the Earl of Byrne united with other nobles to close all the passages to Zhao Feng's territory, in an attempt to use the economic blockade to drag down the economy of Zhao Feng's territory.

Now the Earl of Byrne sent his eldest son Osborne to envoy Zhao Feng, but he was relenting and only wanted to buy enough food from Zhao Feng.

At this time, only the area of Aylas was relatively peaceful because the dimensional space passage was destroyed and countless insects were killed by Zhao Feng, and the rest of the area was still plagued by insects, and there was a shortage of food everywhere, even if the Earl of Byrne paid a high price, it was difficult to buy food from other places, so he had to give in to Zhao Feng and bow his head.

"Supporting Ayras City, I naturally won't be stingy, I do have plenty of food here. However, due to the recent influx of the lords, I, as the lord, need a large amount of food reserves to ensure their livelihood, and I should not be left lightly. Zhao Feng said with a look of embarrassment.

"Lord Earl, can't you think of a way, but there are 800,000 people in the city of Aylas, who are still waiting for food to save their lives!" said Osborne, whose face changed. He hated it in his heart, but he still had to plead in a low voice, if the city of Ayras was unstable because of the food problem, then the title and territory of the Earl of Byrne might be reduced!

Although the earl is the ruler of thousands of square kilometers, he usually has almost the power to kill the people in the territory, and even the king cannot touch him at will. However, if there is a good reason, the king and the church can still remove the earls, strip them of their titles, and deprive them of their fiefs.

After all, in this world, even if the king or emperor behaves perversely, he will be ousted by the church according to the will of the gods.

"I recently purchased a batch of grain from the Silver Dragon Chamber of Commerce, but due to the previous road blockade, the cost of transporting the grain here has increased significantly. If you want, I will sell this grain to you at cost price, hoping that this grain will help you in the city of Ayras through this difficult time! Zhao Feng was silent for a while, then handed a note to Osborne.

Osborne took the note and looked at it, his face suddenly changed greatly, on the note, the price of the grain displayed was nearly twenty times higher than the price of the grain they had purchased from the City of Miracles before, and it was close to the black market price in the rest of the place, but the amount of that batch of grain was indeed enough to feed the 800,000 people in the city of Ellas for more than a month.

"Lord Earl, this price is too expensive, can it be cheaper?" said Osborne after a moment's hesitation, then gritted his teeth.

"Osborne, the price is already quite fair. In today's world, even if you have money, it is difficult to buy food, and you are not unaware of it. If I want to sell this grain elsewhere, if I do it properly, I can at least make more than three layers of profits. This is the cost price I bought from the Silver Dragon Chamber of Commerce, and it couldn't be lower. If you don't want to buy it, forget it. Zhao Feng said lightly.

Now there is a shortage of grain everywhere, and it is not surprising that if this batch of grain is transported to a place where there is a shortage and hyped up, it can at least rise by four layers on the basis of this price, or even double. Osborne also knew this fact, but not long ago, they still bought food in the City of Miracles at a slightly higher price in peacetime, and now that it had increased twentyfold, he could naturally understand why.

"Okay, we're going to have this batch of food!" Osborne agreed, gritting his teeth.

At this time, in the city of Ayras, because the grain depot was burned, the price of grain was rising, almost every minute, causing great panic, countless nobles rushed to buy food, and the people who owned the grain became more and more reluctant to sell and hoarded. Now in Ayras City, the price of grain is twice the price offered by Zhao Feng, and there is still no market.

Although a small part of the grain was salvaged from the grain depot, the Earl of Byrne did not dare to take it out at all, and threw it on the market to suppress the price of grain, because the grain would only be snatched up in an instant, and he would not have any way to supply the church and some nobles with real power.

Without this grain, the entire city of Aylas would be reduced to a hell on earth.

Even now, many free people and ruined nobles have fled from the city of Ayras to Zhao Feng's city of miracles. Most of these free men and ruined nobles are well-educated intellectuals with a skill, and with their joining, Zhao Feng's Miracle City has begun to have more and more vitality as a real human city.

"It's a trade contract, you sign it, and then you can go and get the grain with this document. Zhao Feng took out two contracts and handed them to Osborne.

Osborne carefully read the deed, gritted his teeth and signed his name on it, and then left the villa with the deed.

"Ice!" After Osborne left, Zhao Feng shouted faintly into the void.

"Subordinates are here!" The void twisted, and the ice took shape.

"This time, you did a good job!" Zhao Feng looked at Han Bing with a look of appreciation.

It would be easy for a Sacred Domain powerhouse to kill one or two Earls, but if Zhao Feng killed Earl Bourne for no reason. Then it is equivalent to declaring war on all the great nobles, and the nobles of the entire kingdom of Panturo Kingdom will become Zhao Feng's enemies. Churches are not going to sit idly by. It's a hassle.

Cold ice burned the grain depot of Aylas City this time, although it was still extremely serious, but as long as Zhao Feng provided enough food, so that the city of Ayras would not collapse and chaos, when there was no conclusive evidence to prove that Zhao Feng did it.

Even if everyone speculated in their hearts that Zhao Feng had sent someone to do it, no one would do anything to Zhao Feng without conclusive evidence. And not all the nobles will be hostile to Zhao Feng, because this is just a struggle between two nobles, and sending someone to assassinate a nobleman for no reason is equivalent to challenging the interests of the entire aristocratic class, which will be resisted by them together.

Earl Bourne can also bring down Zhao Feng by collecting evidence of this matter, but it is extremely difficult, Han Bing is a strong man in the Holy Domain, he does things neatly, and he does it himself, how can he leave evidence.

"My lord, but I don't think the Earl of Bourne will stop there!" Han Bing frowned slightly and said to Zhao Feng.

"Of course, if he stops, he won't be the Earl of Bourne. But there are only a few tricks he can use. Ice, you go and help me investigate some people. Zhao Feng smiled slightly, flicked his hand, and a note flew towards the cold ice.

"Yes, my lord!" Han Bing reached out and grabbed the note, glanced at the note, and a grim smile appeared on his face.

The fact that Earl Byrne sent his eldest son Osborne to envoy Zhao Feng soon spread in the Aylas area, and many nobles who were attached to Earl Byrne began to defect and move closer to Zhao Feng's side, and all kinds of invitations were piled up on Zhao Feng's desk again.

At the same time, these nobles all sent a request to Zhao Feng to buy grain, and the price of grain in Aylas City was too expensive, even if most of those nobles had rich resources, they were a little unbearable for the extremely high price of grain. After all, a nobleman not only has a family, but also many people such as retainers, internal officials, servants, slaves, etc., to support. In this way, food is a huge expense.

Moreover, at this time, the insect plague was blazing in various places, and the trade route was blocked, which cut off an important source of wealth for many nobles, and many dilapidated nobles had already sold their properties in Ayras City, left, and settled in Zhao Feng's Miracle City.

That's because with food prices skyrocketing, the cost of living in Ayras City has become too high for them to afford.

Count Bourne could only watch in pain as the nobles who were originally attached to him fell to Zhao Feng's side one by one. In addition to his own power, a big nobleman will also have countless small nobles attached to him, and everyone will be huddled together, forming an extremely powerful power group.

When the Earl of Byrne sanctioned Zhao Feng, it was because countless small nobles joined his side that Zhao Feng's territory was almost completely blocked by him, and the outside world could not enter.

But at this time, after those small nobles threw themselves into Zhao Feng's arms, this alliance had already collapsed. Even if Earl Byrne blocked his territory again, those merchants would be able to detour into Zhao Feng's territory from the territories of other minor nobles.

In the fief of Viscount Will, in a castle of the lords, Reisman sat with his father, Viscount Will.

"Father, your vision is accurate. This time, it was Count Zhao Feng who won!" Reisman said excitedly. He originally chose to stand firmly on Zhao Feng's side for his father, and gave Zhao Feng a Jialan heart necklace worth nearly 10,000 gold coins to congratulate Zhao Feng, slightly incomprehensible.

But now Reisman saw the benefits of falling to Zhao Feng, and when most of the nobles were distressed by the high price of grain, only their family and Baron Larman's family could buy large quantities of grain from Zhao Feng's territory at a price that was only slightly higher than in peacetime.

This grain can not only meet the needs of the people in their territory, but also sell it to the surrounding nobles, making a lot of money! In less than ten days, their family has made a net profit of several hundred gold coins by selling grain abroad, and has also attracted two lords and seven knight families. The strength is greatly inflated.

"Baron Poleka's family is miserable, and now their family can't afford to hold a decent banquet. Haha, what a shame, I lost my home! Poway's boy, who has always looked great because he is a magician, really annoys me when I see it. Raisman couldn't help but get excited when he thought of the embarrassed appearance of his former enemy's family at this time.

Baron Boleka's family has a large family and a large population, and they are closely attached to Count Bourne, but even if Count Bourne supplies the grain at the cost price of the grain purchased from Zhao Feng, the high price that is more than 20 times the price of ordinary grain still makes Baron Boleka a little unbearable. Even in the midst of the insect plague, the banquet that had not stopped being held had stopped.

The banquet is an important social occasion for the nobles to show their strength, taste, and make friends with other nobles, and the more nobles can be invited to the banquet, the more noble the status, the stronger the aristocratic strength of the party holding the banquet. Many nobles like to hold banquets to show their strength and make friends with other nobles.

"Although Zhao Feng won this confrontation, don't underestimate Earl Bourne. Earl Bourne is not a simple character, this time, if it weren't for the death of his son at the hands of Zhao Feng, with his shrewdness, he would definitely not have made a bad deal with Zhao Feng. But his son was too stupid to provoke Zhao Feng in person and was killed by Zhao Feng, so he had to deal with Zhao Feng. ”

But this time he was carried away by anger and didn't see it clearly, since Zhao Feng was a person who had killed from the sea of insects and established a peerless meritorious service, and he had a super strong person like a holy domain powerhouse under him, how could it be so easy to deal with. ”

"However, Earl Byrne must have a desperate and powerful kill against Zhao Feng after that, and this kill is the key to the real confrontation between the two. If Zhao Feng wins, then the Earl of Bourne will be in a state of collapse from now on, and if the Earl of Bourne wins, Zhao Feng will be ruined. This is the terrible thing about the Earl of Bourne!" Viscount Will said slowly, he has been attached to the Earl of Bourne for many years, and he knows very well how the Earl of Bourne behaves, either he will not be an enemy of him, or he will do his best to use all means to destroy it, and the means are so cruel that people will be stunned.

"Then Father, in that case, why did we stand on Zhao Feng's side so early, why don't we wait for them to divide the winners and losers, and then we choose a side to rely on?"

"In that case, our family will never be able to regain its heyday! This is a gamble, and if we win, then we will have a great reward! Every time we stand in line, the person at both ends of the line can only be spurned by either side. Only those who help the victors to win can reap rich rewards! If we wait for them to divide the victory and defeat, and then we choose one side to rely on, then our family can only become a nobleman who has the title of viscount but only has a baronial fief in this life, and the name is not worthy of the truth! Moreover, I think that this time, the two powerhouses are fighting, and Zhao Feng has a greater chance of victory. ”

"Born in troubled times, with extraordinary strength, rising like a comet, that is the common surname of human heroes. Count Zhao Feng is afraid that he will also be a powerful legendary hero in the future. Our family can also follow the heroes and compose the glory of our family! Reisman, from today onwards, you will go to Count Zhao Feng to serve him. Remember to serve him faithfully, and when I die, you will inherit everything I have!" said Viscount Will's eyes, which bloomed with burning essence.

Viscount Will had three sons, and Resman, who had the first right to succeed to the throne. However, as long as Viscount Will lives, he can change his heir at any time. This time, Viscount Will clearly raised the issue of inheritance, which shocked Rathman's heart.

"Yes, Father, I'm going to work for Count Zhao Feng!"

"Good!" Viscount Will looked at Reisman and smiled with relief.
