Chapter 376: The Palace's Secret Discussion

readx;? The confidence of the merchants who came and went in Huangsha City was greatly improved by the more than thirty corpses of the two empires on the gallows. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info Causing trouble in Huangsha City, no matter who it is, it seems that nothing good will end. The nobles of the neighboring countries who were harassed in the past, and the clergy of the two empires now, all end up the same, they are all hanging high on the gallows street outside Huangsha City, like street lamps, giving the greatest warning to all people entering and leaving Huangsha City. To make trouble here is to hang up like this.

Except for Meng Han's guards and the people of the two empires at that time, no one knew what happened at that time, but one thing is certain, the clergy of the two empires who never bought it elsewhere were all hanged, and the people of the Bright Empire were still the tattooed torture racks personally sent by their cardinals.

Meng Han never seemed to have sent a special team to patrol the streets to manage security or anything, but the order of Huangsha City was a bit surprisingly good, especially after this time, it was even more peaceful, there were few fights, and even the quarrels had almost disappeared. The only dispute with a louder voice is nothing more than bargaining in business, but this point is strongly supported by Meng Han.

With such an atmosphere, it is a paradise for those businessmen who are hungry for money. Not only those who are already here, but as long as they hear about it, those people also yearn to do business here. There are many people who do nothing else but to see the famous Gallows Avenue and see the clergy of the Empire of Light and the Empire of Darkness hanging on it. All of a sudden, in addition to the commercial settlement, Huangsha City has become a tourist attraction, and the most famous scenic spot is the long Gallows Street.

The negative youth of the Empire of Light and the Empire of Darkness have been anxious to report the incident to the Empire, and it is estimated that it will take at least a month to wait for the latest news, after all, the distance is very long, even if it is fast and round, it will have to run for so long without interruption.

Meng Han lived in Huangsha City, but the interior of the principality was not as calm as Huangsha City. The open and secret struggle between the eldest duke and the marquis has reached the most critical juncture, although the respective descendants of the two sides do not have a blatant army to confront, but the friction in private has heated up sharply, and people will die in an inexplicable place every day.

Like Meng Han, the eldest duke and the marquis live in the same deep and simple place. The Lord's Palace, the Marquis's Palace, has become a favorite place for assassins and thieves, and several people are caught every day. Both sides have invariably strengthened their security forces, and in the palace, the daily guards have doubled, and in the marquis's palace, the most elite soldiers have been mobilized to guard it, and the marquis even usually works and rests in the armored carriage provided by Meng Han.

At least four clever assassins touched the Marquis's palace, and even almost rushed in front of the Marquis. However, all they could do was see the face of the Marquis.

Between them and the Marquis was a thick metal wall, and they could only see each other's faces through the large crystals on the armoured carriage, and then the Assassins fell.

Of the four assassins, three were at the level of a sword master, and the other was a demon swordsman. The magic swordsman who is proficient in both warrior and magic combat skills, but no matter who it is, he has not been able to hurt a single cent of the marquis in the carriage, and even all of them have been wiped out by the counterattack of the armored carriage.

The Marquis was extremely satisfied with the strong armored carriage. Although the price of 300,000 gold coins is a little expensive, it is definitely worth the price compared to his own life. What's more, in addition to this carriage, Meng Han's batch of weapons has been equipped with his most elite troops, and in several secret operations, they have been quite successful, which makes the Marquis even more satisfied.

Although Meng Han himself did not directly participate in the battle between the two sides, the Marquis did not blame Meng Han, and Meng Han did not have the habit of forcibly inserting into something by force from the beginning. This seems to be a bit of a two-way flattering, but Lord Hou knows that as long as there are two short-sighted guys on the eldest duke's side, His Royal Highness and Second Highness, it is impossible for Meng Han to vote over there.

In the current situation, the Marquis has firmly gained the upper hand, and finally more than half of the nobles of the eldest duke have either remained neutral or switched to the door of the Marquis. Eighty percent of the lords of the entire duchy have pledged allegiance to the marquis, and the territories of these lords are directly connected into a large area, firmly enclosing the territory controlled by the eldest duke.

What the old duke can control now is a small area around the castle of daylight, and even the boulder castle can only control half of it. This was only possible with the combined strength of him and his two sons. In fact, if it weren't for the fact that Lord Hou didn't want to blatantly plot to usurp the throne, he would have moved a large army to oust the old prince from power. The reason why I still use this step-by-step method is that I really don't want to become a grand duke myself, but I want to accept a beaten and tattered mess. Not everyone has Meng Han's courage to build a new city casually.

"Father, in a few days, it is estimated that except for a few places in the city, the order of the old family Fu will not even be able to get out of the megalith castle. Furucis excitedly reported to his father. Since taking over the family's business, he has directly entered the core of the Marquis's family, and he is the first heir in line to the throne, so he is naturally more valued.

Looking at this more and more mature son, the Marquis was also full of joy. If it is replaced by the previous gentleman, no matter how ambitious the marquis is, at most he will strive for his own fiefdom to be bigger, and then leave it to this son to lose. But now it is different, it is precisely because of Francis's maturity that the Marquis's ambition has swelled again, and he has the momentum and capital to compete with the eldest duke.

"Don't worry, let's wait slowly, in a few days, I believe the old guy also knows what to do. The Marquis nodded and replied with a smile. In the case that the general trend has passed, if the eldest duke does not know to abdicate and make way for Xian, then he has been in the position of the grand duke for so many years, which is to force the marquis to kill their family.

Different from the ease of the marquis's father and son, the palace of the eldest duke was full of gloom and miser. The eldest duke sat on the throne with his eyes half-closed, behind him Catherine sat with some concern, while His Royal Highness and Second Highness walked anxiously on the ground, like ants on two hot pots.

"Father, if we go on like this, we won't be able to fight that treacherous and cunning guy!" After taking a few steps, His Royal Highness hurriedly shouted at the old man: "If they go on like this, we will die sooner or later without a place to bury." ”

"How much strength do you have in your hands to rival the Marquis's army?" the old duke asked, without raising his eyelids. What does this ambitious and talented son know besides knowing pleasure and competing with his brother for the inheritance of the Grand Duke?

In a word, let the Second Highness stop talking, and he couldn't say anything anymore. The power he mastered, in the consumption some time ago, has been basically ground clean by the Marquis, and the only remaining ones are all guys who can't get on the table, and if you want to fight against the army, it is better to find death directly.

The Great Highness next to him also stopped, watching the Second Highness being scolded by the eldest prince, but he was secretly happy in his heart. However, His Royal Highness was obviously more scheming than his younger brother, and after His Royal Highness retreated in disobedience, he slowly stepped forward and said in a low voice: "Actually, it's not completely impossible. ”

Although His Royal Highness's words were low, the few people in the grid heard them clearly, and several pairs of eyes immediately stared at him, and even the eldest prince opened his eyes and looked at his eldest son, full of anticipation.

"There's one man, if he helps us, we'll definitely be able to confront the Marquis. His Royal Highness threw out this sentence first, which directly attracted everyone's attention. His Royal Highness couldn't wait to ask, "Who?"

"Count Antonio. "His Royal Highness doesn't hide his selfishness at this time, anyway, the better he behaves, the more unbearable the Second Highness will be. Speaking of this person, he didn't even say any reason, there are several people here, there is no one who doesn't know this person, of course, he also knows the power in this person's hands, and he doesn't need to say anything more at all. "There is a reason!" The second highness slapped his thigh and exclaimed in surprise, and he also had a little regret in his heart, why didn't he think of it, otherwise this performance should be his own.

"But why should Count Antonio help us?" the eldest duke, who was already expecting something, asked again with his eyes half-closed after hearing this answer. After saying this, there seemed to be some gasp, and Catherine behind her hurriedly reached out to help beat her back.

"As far as I know, Count Antonio was very fond of beautiful women. His Royal Highness had already had an idea, and when he saw the eldest duke inquiring, he immediately said: "If you send a few ordinary beauties, it is estimated that he will not be tempted, but if Kai Lilin is willing, maybe things can take a turn for the better." ”

"Yes, yes, yes!" The Second Highness was afraid that the old duke would think that he had no way at all, so he hurriedly echoed: "Anyway, that guy is also young, and he is so rich, Catherine will not suffer if he follows him, but can bring us a strong ......"

When Princess Catherine opened her mouth to talk about her under the main hall, she had already unconsciously clenched her fists and bit her lip.

Hearing the words of His Royal Highness, he was even more chilled. Can they push themselves into the fire pit for the sake of their power?

His Royal Highness and Second Highness were still talking about the benefits of winning over Meng Hanlai, but Catherine couldn't listen to a word. And the eldest man in front of her, with his eyes half-closed, did not have the slightest expression on his face, but he let out a long sigh in his heart.

It's late, everyone understands, two shifts tomorrow. To be continued,
