At the age of 24, he has been running the family business for only four years, making the San Theo family one of the top three families in the west. Two years ago, he married the daughter of the lord of Echfon, one of the seven city-states of the Alliance. The city of Echvon is home to the "Red Legion" of the "Seven Colored Knights", and the lord of the city, Menzies, is the current chairman of the Supreme Council of the Alliance. The marriage between the two families made the San Theo family highly influential in politics and economics within the alliance. In recent years, it has even been rumored that San Theo Lee recruited a group of soldiers in addition to the "Seven Colored Knights" of the Alliance, forming a private armed force that is not held hostage by the Supreme Council of the Alliance, and has militarily strengthened and improved the family's status in the Alliance.

However, it is clear that San Theo Lee's goal is not just to improve his family's position in the league. During his four years as Lord of Boscombe, he took advantage of the financial power of the San Theo family to control three or four smaller city-states around the city-state by various means, even large ones like Camberwell. It can be said that San Theo Lee is now the commander-in-chief of the border between the alliance and the kingdom of Fabre, and he alone controls the politics, economy, and military affairs in this region. He wantonly raised taxes on the border between the two countries, and since he controlled the only two roads leading to the alliance of the Kingdom of Fabre, no one else could do anything about him. Although the lords of other city-states had also raised some opinions at the Supreme Council, San Theo Lee's father-in-law had always made a great deal of money from the frontier trade, thanks to the favoritism of his father-in-law.

In contrast to San Theo Lee's high taxes on border traders, he imposed very low taxes on civilians in the area under his control, and encouraged them to do business, so that merchants could save a lot of money when trading at the border with the documents issued by the San Theo family. In just a few years, many wealthy merchants emerged in the area under his control, all of whom had made their fortunes through the commercial policies of San Theo Lee, and thus strongly supported San Theo Lee himself. Thanks to the financial and political help of these merchants, San Theo Lee became more and more powerful and controlled more and more powerful. In terms of his current economic power alone, he has surpassed the fiscal revenues of an ordinary country.

At the gates of Boscombe City, Li Yuxuan and Collins paid an "entry tax" before they were allowed to enter the territory of Brynpace.

"Hell, where is this paying taxes, is it a robbery, one person asks for five silver coins, and two people have exactly one gold coin!" Walking through the neat streets of Boscombe, Corinth complained about San Theo Lee's taxes. He has not been in a good mood these days, and he just took this opportunity to complain.

Li Yuxuan, on the other hand, was attracted by the orderly appearance of Boscombe as soon as he entered Boscombe. From the south to the west, Li Yuxuan has also seen many famous cities, such as Carol's capital Kefield, Fengxiang Fengcheng, Antwerp Port, Ya'an's Stex, Fabre's Serus and so on. But in Li Yuxuan's eyes, no city can be as orderly as the Boscomb City he sees now.

The wide streets are clean and lined with shops, but there is no clutter to them, most notably because there are no vendors lining the streets. The alleys on both sides of the street are also clean and tidy, and it is clear from the inside of the street, unlike many urban alleys that look like a garbage dump or a place to hide dirt and dirt, which looks dirty and gloomy.

Although Boscombe is a border city, you can't see those wandering knights on the streets, everyone is on foot, and horseback riding is strictly prohibited on the streets, which ensures the tranquility and smoothness of urban traffic. Walking down the street, from time to time I saw a small squad of soldiers, apparently in charge of the city's security. On the faces of these young soldiers, Li Yuxuan only saw a serious face, but he couldn't detect the arrogance of ordinary sergeants.

After more than 100 steps from the city gate to the hotel, Li Yuxuan had already seen that San Theo Lee, who managed the city, would definitely not be a simple person, and could even be said to be the most powerful person besides Yankel since he set foot in the western part of the mainland. Ferdinand, the "Knight of the Cadenza Knight", Corinth, and even Kemal, the leader of the Washer Mercenary Regiment, are much worse than this person. In terms of this person's administrative talent alone, he will definitely not lose to his chief staff Xu Ruoyu. I don't know what kind of scene Kefield will be like now under Xu Ruoyu's management.

Li Yuxuan and the two settled down in the guest room of the hotel, seeing that it was still early, the two were going out to eat something and then go around to take a look. After entering the territory of the Bryn Pace Alliance, Li Yuxuan changed his previous eagerness, and instead offered to rest in Boscombe City for a few days before going on the road. Along the way, Collins, who had complained a few times, didn't have any reason to disagree at first glance, and hurriedly nodded.

Just as the two of them were packing up their belongings and preparing to go out, there was a knock on the door outside the room.

Li Yuxuan was slightly stunned, and then motioned to Collins to open the door, while he stared at the door of the house, and the "Divine Dragon Heart Technique" quietly gathered in his right hand.

Collins didn't have such vigilance as Li Yuxuan, thinking that it should be the guy in the store who knocked on the door, and opened the door without any defense. To his surprise, it was not the guy in the hotel who was outside the door, but a middle-aged man in brocade.

The middle-aged man took out a piece of parchment from his bosom, smiled and handed it to Collins, who was stunned there, and bowed slightly to Li Yuxuan in the door to show respect, then turned to leave.

Li Yuxuan stepped forward and closed the door, took the parchment directly from Collins's hand, and asked in a stern tone:

"If that man had given you not a piece of parchment but a sword or something, you would have been lying on the ground!"

What Li Yuxuan couldn't imagine was how such a careless Collins could obtain the title of "Four Great Knights" in the western part of the continent, and there were dozens of ways to kill him if he thought about it, and each of them did not require the use of force. This kind of person can live until now and gain such a high reputation, in Li Yuxuan's opinion, this is simply a miracle. Li Yuxuan didn't expect that not everyone in the world would have so many enemies like him. Once you're on your way to world domination, you'll have a lot of enemies at once, both famous and unknown. Like Collins, he has no political ambitions, and he does not regard the so-called glory and wealth very lightly, and the goal of life is to enjoy a good life. Think about it, who would trouble this kind of person. But it's a pity that now Collins and Li Yuxuan are walking together, his days of fighting swords and rivers and lakes and carrying wine are probably over, and he will face a cunning and treacherous enemy, to experience a struggle between life and death, for his life, meeting Li Yuxuan, I don't know if it is his luck or disaster.

was inexplicably taught a lesson by Li Yuxuan, Collins secretly shouted in his heart that he was unlucky, but after thinking about it carefully, his words were not unreasonable, and he secretly warned himself not to make the same mistake in the future. With Li Yuxuan, it is through this psychological warning again and again that Collins has changed from the original rough branches to cautious, which cannot but be said to be the "credit" of Li Yuxuan's constant "discipline".

"Dear Your Excellency Shi Yue,

I am glad to hear that Your Excellency has set foot in Boscombe City and prepared a banquet at the Lower Boscom City Lord San Theo Lee, and I hope that Your Excellency will be able to enjoy your visit to the Humble House. ”

The bottom line is the time of the banquet and the host's autograph.

Just half an hour after he entered the city, San Theo Lee investigated the identities of the two of them, although it is still unknown whether the other party really knows his details, but in terms of efficiency alone, this is quite amazing, which shows that this San Theo Lee is a famous person.

"What is it?"

"See for yourself!" Li Yuxuan handed the parchment in his hand to Corinth, and fell into deep thought alone.

It has been a year since he arrived in the western part of the mainland, and Li Yuxuan has a general understanding of the entire pattern of the western region. On the way to the east this time, Li Yuxuan had heard more than once that the young and promising Boscombe City Lord San Theo Lee, coupled with what he had seen and heard after entering the city, he was indeed quite interested in this young man who was not much older than himself. But Li Yuxuan knows very well in his heart that now that someone in the west already knows his identity, and if he can stay away from the land of right and wrong earlier, he will not stay longer. If this trip was not related to the intelligence source in the western part of the mainland after the "homeland", Li Yuxuan would definitely not be willing to take the risk of entering the Bryn Lapse Alliance.

In the territory of the Fabre Kingdom, although Li Yuxuan was worried about being entangled by Trauca, only with his status as secretary of state, he believed that no one would be willing to take this risk to deal with or assassinate him. But the Brynpith Union is a different story. Although this alliance is a political entity externally, it is full of various forces inside, from the seven major city-states to various mercenary groups, fighting with each other, intriguing with each other, and it can be said that it is a rather chaotic region. The more you stay here, the more dangerous it is. In the unlikely event that any of the Alliance's forces collude with their enemies in the south and confirm their identity, it is unknown whether they will be able to return to Kefield safely. This is also the reason why Li Yuxuan was careful as soon as he entered the territory of the alliance. Since the Washer mercenary group was able to detect their true identity, let alone San Theo Lee, who was more powerful within the Brinpith Alliance. It's just a question of whether he looked it up or not. As long as he sent someone to check, his true identity would definitely be exposed.

If you avoid it, you will undoubtedly complicate the situation, and you will not be able to understand the purpose of San Theo Lee. If you go to the banquet by yourself, no matter what the final result is, you can at least find out what the opponent's hole cards are.

After thinking about it for a while, Li Yuxuan decided to take a trip to the City Lord's Mansion to meet this well-known young talent in the west.
