Chapter 116: Phoenix Iron Guard
"Actually, it's not as people seem, the three major guilds are indifferent and contemptuous of the royal family, and the thieves' guild actually has a very good relationship with the royal family or even His Majesty today. It is said that after His Majesty was infected with the strange poison, the Holy Venerable and other old men personally returned to the imperial capital, and together with the dean, they diagnosed and treated His Majesty, and finally they came to the conclusion that His Majesty's strange poison was not at all dissolved by the existing medicines, and it could be described as an incurable disease. However, the dean proposed a plan, which was to use a pearl of His Majesty's poisonous blood and put it into the body of another person, and seek a cure for His Majesty through various diagnostic and treatment tests on this person. Do you know who this poisonous blood is now?"
Hearing Byron say this heavily, the image of a person suddenly flashed in Meng Yang's mind, and he suddenly called out a person's name: "Are you talking about Ebrais?"
Byron nodded and said, "Yes, it is Viscount Ebrais of the Dragon Descending Territory who carried out this secret mission. It wasn't until today that I learned that he was also an outstanding assassin sent out by the guild and was the arm of President Kobe. Originally, according to the estimation of the Holy Venerables, Ebreth should have died of poison a year ago, but he miraculously survived, and later the Dean personally went to the Dragon Descending Territory, and it turned out that it was because Viscount Ebreth had been eating the fruits and vegetables produced in the Dragon Ruins. It is precisely because of this that the production of the Dragon Ruins can be regarded as a tribute, and Viscount Ebreth attaches great importance to this place. It is precisely because the little princess speaks for you that he happily gives the dragon ruin to you. The previous lord, Lu Sen, was actually from President Howard's faction, and only the three of Shengzun, President Kobe, and President Rodman knew about testing the medicine for His Majesty, and Howard had always been hidden. But he felt that the guild attached too much importance to the Dragon Descending Leader to the Dragon Ruins, but he suspected that the Dragon Ruins had any strange treasures, and secretly instigated the great honorable and assassin generals he sent to take advantage of the opportunity of the Dragon Descending Lords to change the lords to control the Dragon Descending Territory in one fell swoop, which led to the drastic changes in the Dragon Descending Territory. But now, the Holy Venerable personally ordered that all the assassins and great honorables who participated in the dispute between the Dragon Descending Leader should all return to the Imperial Capital Headquarters for interrogation, and the Dragon Descending Leader has temporarily stabilized. Since you don't have time to manage the Dragon Market, I will remind your housekeeper in the future to pay attention to the cultivation and cultivation of grain and fruits, you can rest assured. ”
Only then did Meng Yang understand that there were some reasons for this, but he thought of a doubt and asked: "Big brother, if the Dragon Ruins are produced to help treat Your Majesty, but I think this kind of help is also quite limited, and fundamentally speaking, it cannot dissolve the strange poison on Your Majesty and the Viscount." However, this is only a stopgap measure, but since the Dragon Ruins are so important, why didn't Your Majesty or the Elders directly send a powerful henchman to take over the Dragon Ruins?"
Byron sighed, "You don't know. First of all, the academic sect has quite a lot of talented people, but they are subject to the agreement concluded between the academy and the three saints, and they are not allowed to set foot in the three plains controlled by the three major guilds, just like the royal private domain, neither the academic school nor the three major guilds can enter. Secondly, the three guilds are harmonious on the surface, but in fact, they have always secretly watched each other, and the thieves' guild will never dare to let the other two guilds find out that they are very close to the royal family, let alone secretly help heal His Majesty. Although the three guilds control the three plains alone, they have secretly sent characters like our guild assassins to lurk in various places, of course, the purpose is to learn more about the actions of other guilds and grasp the movements of the big names of each guild. Do you think, if the Thieves' Guild sends a very important strong person to take over a projectile land, what will the other guilds think? Once the secret of the Thieves' Guild secretly helping the royal family is exposed, the consequences will be unimaginable, because it is said that there is a private agreement between the three saints that the guild in charge of each is not allowed to interfere in the affairs of the royal family. If the Thieves' Guild is the first to violate the rules, the consequences are really unpredictable!And you, however, are an insignificant little person, but you have a deep opportunity to take charge of the Dragon Ruins as a little princess's magic guard, of course, let His Majesty the King, the Academy, and the Thieves Guild rest assured. ”
Meng Yang smiled bitterly, "I didn't expect that this kind of thing was caused by the strange poison on His Majesty's body, which was really unexpected by too many people." Big brother, even if this is the case, I can't say that I, Longxu, have to do my best to heal His Majesty the King. This part of Longxu's planning, in the future, I will rely on you to remind my housekeeper. Big brother, each guild involves a lot of secrets, and the relationships between various characters in the guild are complicated, you are involved in it, you have to be more careful, you see, then President Kobe and President Howard look incompatible, both of them have won the trust of your Holy Venerable, the foundation is deep, you have recently risen, you are bound to be jealous of many big people in the guild, many conspiracies and tricks are directed against you, you really have to be cautious everywhere. If you need help, you can always inform the Longxu side of the situation, this is very important, big brother, you have to believe me, the power of my Longxu is by no means something that ordinary people can ignore. If the eldest brother is in trouble, they will definitely help. I've already explained this to my butler. ”
Byron patted Meng Yang on the shoulder and said happily, "Brother, you should be more careful when you enter the land of death yourself." My brother has the amulet of the Holy Venerable, who dares to touch me easily? I am measured, if there is a difficulty that cannot be resolved, I will ask your dragon ruin for help. ”
Meng Yang smiled: "That's right, big brother, after I leave, you can go to Longxu to have a look." ”
Byron said: "Okay, I will definitely go, isn't this taking care of you, hahaha!"
The two brothers then began to discuss what Monyan had not done, starting with the fact that Monyan needed to buy a batch of slaves.
Of course, the price of a slave who entered the Panlong slave market in the imperial capital was not a few silver coins, and the price of some slaves was even as high as a few hundred gold coins, of course, this kind of slave was rare.
The three major guilds all have their own slave markets.
In line with the principle of casting a wide net and selecting the best slaves possible, Monyan decided to let Byron accompany him around the three slave markets.
Now Byron is the great master of the Sieg Chamber of Commerce, and he himself is like a moving treasure trove of gold coins, within 10 million gold coins, Byron has the authority to deploy at will. Meng Yang had a promissory note of five million gold coins that Byron had prepared for him in the Dragon Descending Domain, and Meng Yang only planned to buy a few thousand slaves, at least to be decent for Ruo Yizhuang.
As soon as it was dawn, the two brothers took Alligu to the nearest slave market of the Thieves' Guild in a carriage specially designed for the Chamber of Commerce.
After a busy morning, Monyan selected 1,500 male slaves and 700 female slaves. The potential of this group of slaves was much higher than that of Colifor, and Meng Yang even felt that as long as the aura of heaven and earth was rich enough, and with the potions he purchased and made in the basement of Longxu Fort, these people would soon become professionals and have a certain combat ability.
But Meng Yang also knew very well that this person, sprinkled in the territory, was like a drop of water injected into the desert, and its strength was terrifyingly weak.
But this group of slaves removed the discount, and it cost Mengyan 200,000 gold coins. In the eyes of outsiders, spending this money to buy slaves was simply a loser, but Meng Yang felt that it was worth the money, and even earned.
Without stopping, he took Byron to two more slave markets, and Monyan was fortunate enough to buy 4,800 slaves again. In this way, Meng Yang spent nearly a million gold coins, but obtained a full 7,000 excellent slaves with great potential, including more than 2,000 female slaves, Meng Yang felt that the first batch of slaves could only be like this for the time being.
In the process, Monyan taught Byron how to test the potential of slaves, and in fact laid the foundation for Byron to provide him with high-quality slaves in the future. The Thieves' Guild captures millions of slaves every year, and in addition to selling them to noble lords everywhere, the best slaves are transported to the Imperial Capital Slave Market, waiting for the purchase of the Imperial Capital's wealthy families or orders from the Royal Domain.
Prior to this, orders for the royal realm were issued by His Majesty the King himself, and each batch of slaves was personally escorted into the private realm by His Majesty's dragon knights.
According to the content of the blood contract, after Meng Yang and Princess Ruoyi enter the seventh territory, the thieves guild will build a huge trading market outside the Yellow Sand Valley, and the guild will have a special trading market, just for trading with Meng Yang.
This will also be the first guild to establish a trading market outside the royal realm, and it is unknown if the other two guilds will follow suit, but how to get in touch with the lords in the private realm, no one knows.
After the slave affairs were handled, Meng Yang, accompanied by Byron, went to the chambers of commerce of the three major guilds, spent nearly two million gold coins, and purchased a hundred high-grade messengers. This is specially prepared by him for Longxu and Byron, with this batch of teleportations, even if Al-Lee is stuck by Byron's side, he will not be able to detect the content of Byron's communication with Longxu, which is very important.
The two-star magician Al Ligu, who followed Meng Yang and the two all the way, kept wiping cold sweat, and it seemed that he still felt hot and dry in the increasingly cold weather. He had witnessed Byron's leap from a small role in the Chamber of Commerce to a transcendent existence as President Kobe Bryant's hand-pick, and he had seen with his own eyes the spendthrift of Monyan, a hillbilly little warrior, he was not a fool, and he had already faintly smelled a trace of unusual smell from this series of actions.
He knew what the Three Saints had returned to Beijing for, and what they would be preparing for such a large-scale purchase of slaves in the imperial capital recently. Only then did he know that Meng Yang, who had killed the two seven-star generals, would be safe and sound, and he would still enjoy such a high-level courtesy.
Now is different from the past, Byron's status is comparable to that of any guild and chamber of commerce in Panlong City, but he has never said a word of complaint and just acted as Meng Yang's guide and accompaniment, doesn't this in itself explain the problem?
As for the Holy Venerable himself secretly instructed him to report Byron's whereabouts and movements to President Bryant every day, Al Lee firmly understood. Even though he has received the strong support of the Holy Venerable, Byron's foundation is too shallow, and he is not enough to fully gain the trust of the Holy Venerable, and only a big man like President Kobe is the most trusted person of the Holy Venerable.
After placing 7,000 slaves in the settlement of the Thieves' Guild, Meng Yang purchased millions worth of supplies from the Sieg Chamber of Commerce, nothing more than basic food, utensils, various seeds, a few weapons, thirty carriages, and a thousand war horses, which was the last batch of goods Meng Yang purchased in the imperial capital.
Thirty wagons were full, but Monyan gathered seven thousand slaves, and with a few fingers, he divided them into a team of seven thousand, assigned seven captains, and spent 100,000 gold coins to make Byron prepare a very rich meal of wine and food, and let the slaves feast to a heart's content.
This incident simply caused a sensation in the imperial capital.
I have only heard that the noble lord spends such a huge amount of money to invite other nobles to eat and drink, and there has never been a situation in the empire where the lord spends money to let the slaves eat the best banquet comparable to the palace banquet, if it weren't for the fact that the three saints are still presiding over the coming-of-age ceremony for the little princess in the palace, Panlong City is afraid that I don't know how many people want to rush over to see the demeanor of the little nobleman with a stupid hat.
That night, Meng Yang said goodbye to Byron, with a thousand knights, 6,000 infantry, and 30 carriages full of supplies, from the north gate of Panlong City, ten miles away from the north gate to choose a valley to set up camp, a splendid phoenix flag on the tree, on the book "Phoenix Iron Guard" four silver hook iron painting of golden characters.
That night, the people of the imperial capital, who did not know the test results of the Phoenix Princess's coming-of-age ceremony, knew that the Phoenix Princess had already formed such an "army" to go to the territory to conquer, although everyone knew that this so-called "army" seemed to be a temporary combination of a rabble, but it was genuine that it cost nearly five million gold coins at once.
People talked about it, it turned out that as the dean's favorite apprentice, the phoenix princess got too much help from the dean or even the academy, otherwise why did the phoenix princess come to build an army with such a large sum of gold coins?
However, what is the result of the coming-of-age ceremony of the Phoenix Princess? In the end, can the last heir of His Majesty the King obtain the right to inherit the throne?
People are waiting for the moment when the answer will be revealed.
That night, from the west gate, south gate, and east gate of Panlong City, the imperial capital, eight large convoys entered the city.
It is said that these convoys belong to the three major dukes and five marquises, and it turns out that the coming-of-age ceremony of the little princess has affected so many big people!
In the sky above the imperial capital, black clouds pressed on the top, and the cold wind whistled over and over again, and snowflakes the size of beans began to fall.
This year's imperial capital Panlong will finally usher in the first snow, and this year has also come to the end of the year.
At a certain moment when the heavy snow was approaching, the huge figures of the three saints flashing with holy light were suddenly carried by their holy beasts and appeared in the sky above the imperial capital.
"The last heir of His Majesty the King, Princess Phoenix Ruoyi, has failed to obtain the qualification for succession to the throne after the coming-of-age ceremony, and within three days, she needs to enter the royal private territory. Since the princess has already chosen her magic guard, this magic guard tryout has been cancelled. A new successor to the throne will be chosen from among the members of the royal family. ”
With a huge dragon roar, the fiery red dragon Khosla appeared next to the shining light of the three saints with the dragon knight Yalan, and her incomparably majestic voice familiar to the people of the imperial capital spread throughout the city.
When the dragon knights and the giant dragons, the three saints and their holy beasts all disappeared into the void, the imperial capital Panlong City was boiling, and the snow finally poured down.
