In the middle of the night, Renault sat alone in the warm study, reading the report that Momiji had brought from Tuk City. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

The exemption from agricultural taxes plunged the entire Tuke Basin into jubilation. But the early arrival of winter and heavy snow caught everyone off guard, and the basin fell into a panic about the cold again.

The winter supplies that have not been prepared, the wheat that has not had time to sprout, and even the homes of many farmers do not have enough food to survive this winter.

The Tuke Basin is rich in grain and is a fertile land with the granary of the west.

But Renault is also well aware that this is only a relative statement.

No matter how rich the land is, there will be people who will starve to death.

This has a lot to do with whether they are industrious, the tax policy of the lord, and it also has a lot to do with the climate and the land itself.

Therefore, on the report given to him by Momiji, in addition to the area in the south near the stone forest labyrinth area, which has caused a significant reduction in sorghum production this year due to Mia's relationship, there are still two small towns in the west that are facing a shortage of food.

Four months of food for more than 100,000 people was not much of a problem for Renault, but it was impossible for him to open a granary to relieve the victims.

The reserves in the huge underground warehouse in Black Iron Town are strategic materials and cannot be used lightly.

Therefore, the problem of food shortage in these two towns needs to be solved by other methods.

While he was thinking about it, Yuxi's figure suddenly appeared beside him.

"It's so late and you haven't slept yet?"

Renault was not at all surprised by her appearance.

This girl, who looks as indifferent as water, has always lived a life without any rules. Especially in Black Iron Town, it seems that she can be seen everywhere from morning to night.

"There were a lot of people out there. ”

Renault's brows moved slightly, he knew that if it was an ordinary person, he would not attract Yuxi's attention at all. She would come to inform him on purpose, only to show that the person who came might be a threat, and she didn't feel completely sure about it.

Otherwise, at this time, she should hold the glass bottle on her chest and ask him for "payment".

As he walked downstairs, Renault pondered the possibilities of this group of people.

Could it be the Silver Sword Society?

If a killer group emerges, it can indeed pose a certain threat.

Judging from the fact that the Black Sheep Family will openly offer a reward, there is no lower limit for Orlan. If the assassination of Renault fails, it is very likely that the Silver Sword will be instructed to destroy Black Iron Town, or target the people around Renault, or even the ordinary workers of Black Iron Town.

Of course, ordinary people would not do such a crazy thing, but Oran, a man who can use even his own son extremely thoroughly, Renault feels that he should be careful and vigilant enough.

On the windy city wall, large snowflakes fell to the ground with a rustling sound.

The guards hid in the cramped bunkers, keeping a close eye on everything that was happening around the walls.

With the crunching of footsteps, Renault ascended the city wall from the wide staircase, and the seemingly endless snow-white clearing outside Black Iron Town was so clean that there was not a trace of variegation.

"There it is. ”

Yushi pointed to a twisted strange tree in the distance, and Renault could faintly feel a trace of demonic power emanating from the tree.

And farther away, there are more hidden breaths, and the specific situation is blurred due to the distance.

The demonic power in the strange tree fluctuates, intermittently at a specific frequency, like radio waves that send signals.

It seems that they are waiting for someone, and they are waiting for someone from Black Iron Town.

Is it the mole of Black Iron Town, or is it Lyle?

Renault decided not to be alarmed for the time being, so he and Yushi hid in the cramped bunker and waited patiently.

Sure enough, as he expected, soon there was a sneaky figure, from the far corner of Black Iron Town, very stealthily climbed over the city wall, and after a long detour, and then walked in the direction of the strange tree.

Renault recognized this person immediately, it was another of Lyle's bodyguards.

Unexpectedly, a dignified prince would actually have a relationship with an assassin living in the shadows.

In order to achieve the goal, do everything you can, this person is really as Mia said, the means in the dark are indeed terrifying.

Use the Silver Sword to kill him, and the dragons of Black Iron Town will be leaderless, and then use the power of the royal family to occupy Black Iron Town.

The notoriety is carried by the Black Sheep family, but the most direct benefits are obtained by the royal family, and Lyle's abacus is really loud enough.

Soon the power of the demon spirit under the strange tree disappeared, and it seemed that the two parties had already connected their heads. After a while, Lyle's subordinate returned the way he came, without alerting any of the sentry.

It seems that they will not act for the time being, and Lyle should have other arrangements. For example, first put Renault in a place where it is difficult to escape and call for help, and then let the killer who is ambushed there suddenly appear.

"Do you want to kill?" Yushi asked.

"Not now. Renault thought about it for a moment and said, "We'll see tomorrow." ”

Wouldn't it be too cheap to kill like this, Lyle?

Killing the killer or killing Lyle doesn't really solve the problem, he has to face a royal family that is eyeing the land, an ancient king who has ruled the continent for thousands of years.

What he has to do is to completely tear apart Lyle's calculations, teach him a cruel lesson, and at the same time shock the people behind him, so that they can dispel their thoughts of Black Iron Town.

His war with the royal family will inevitably be discovered in the future, but if he is in a hurry to tear his face now, he will only benefit a group of villains with bad intentions.

I only hope that His Royal Highness the King is really a smart man as rumored.

By the time it was dark, Mia had already woken up early.

After several days of heavy snowfall, the sun finally cleared up, and the west ushered in the bright sunshine that had not been seen for a long time.

Reynolds' door was almost broken by Mia, so he lazily got up from the bed, and saw that the little fat man Harry had already made a lot of fine food with sleepy eyes, and Kenny was carrying it downstairs with a few Black Iron Army soldiers.

"What is this for?" asked Renault, feigned puzzled.

"Anna said that there is a cloud lake in the west, the scenery is very good, we will take advantage of the good weather to see. ”

Mia wears a white down jacket and wraps herself up like a chubby little snowman. This dress is made by Renault with the app, the raw materials are very simple, he sent some to a few close girls, in the cold season, warm clothes and shoes can protect them from frostbite.

When I sent Mia, I was muttered to her, saying that such a light and thin dress would definitely not be warm, and the style was too weird, etc.

Now a slight sweat has oozed from her forehead, and she has been wearing it from morning to night, and she seems to be very satisfied.

"Aren't you going to invite your brother along?"

"He?" Mia looked disdainful at the mention of Lyle, "Forget it." How could a pampered man of his kind possibly go climbing a mountain with us, I don't think he could even climb a walking bird. ”

"But as a courtesy, you should still invite him, maybe he'd love to go?"

Inviting Lyle to go to see Cloud Lake with him is Renault's ultimate goal. (To be continued.) )
