The next day, when Flynn organized the elf and elven warriors for morning training, it was obvious that the mood of the warriors was obviously wrong, and their faces were gloomy, heavier than the watery sky before the rain.

Although Flynn is a noble child, he also started as a low-level warrior, and accumulated military exploits step by step, and was made a baron by Duke Elfie, and he was friends with the warriors.

After a few words, Flynn realized that only fourteen of the twenty-one soldiers sent out yesterday to deliver the letter had returned, and seven had not yet returned. One morning, when they went outside the city to search, they found the heads of the elven warrior Evan and the elf warrior Sandstone hanging from the flagpole outside the southern city gate.

This is what the Sombra bandits have always done.

Flynn grimaced and said, "I'll report this matter to Lord Lord." Don't be impulsive just yet, continue to send people to find the remaining five warriors, and ensure the lords' gathering this afternoon. ”

The warriors were clearly unhappy with Flynn's answer, especially the elven warriors, who were emotionally anxious to take revenge on the bandits, and now planned to petition the lord, and if the lord didn't want to, they would act on their own.

Flynn didn't have the slightest prestige in the elves for the time being, and he couldn't convince them with his hard words. Just when he was in a dilemma, Mei Yi happened to pass by, and when he heard that two warriors had been killed by robbers, and the whereabouts of the remaining five warriors were unknown, his face immediately turned ugly.

All the warriors were looking at Mei Yi, intending to see what the young human lord would do.

Mei Yi forcibly suppressed the anger in her heart and said to Flynn, "There is a good chance that the remaining five warriors are also in the hands of the robbers. Find a way to connect with the bandits in the south of the city and ransom the warriors at any cost. ”

Before Mei Yi left, the warrior behind him let out a cold snort and sneering sound without hesitation. It is no wonder that Meiyi's approach is tantamount to bowing to the robbers and completely losing the dignity of the nobility.

Flynn just wanted to say that all the money in the treasury had been used to buy disaster relief materials and seeds, and Mei Yi said: "By the way, if there is no money in the mansion, I will take out those antique calligraphy and paintings and sell them." Mary estimated that she could probably sell for hundreds of thousands of gold coins. ”

Sitting in the study, looking at Illya's revised draft laws, Mei Yi hastily signed her name and said to Illya: "I think it's okay, so be it." In the afternoon, Evelyn is asked to read out the essence of the draft to the lords, and tomorrow it will be distributed to the True Spirit and the twenty-one counties for execution. ”

Illya knew what was going on with Mei Yi. She couldn't say it directly, so she reminded euphemistically: "Lord Meiyi, since His Majesty the King has appointed you as the Great Lord, why don't you send an army to you?" With just a few people, you can't take care of yourself, what can you do? ”

Mei Yi shrugged, "Let's start with the matter at hand." You don't think I've been defeated, do you? By the way, Bishop Illya, can I compliment you on your beauty? It's not an offense to the clergy, is it? ”

Illya was stunned, then smiled faintly: "Oh, thank you." However, after I became pope, I could no longer say such things. ”

In the afternoon, in the grand banquet hall of the lord's mansion, the lords of the twenty-first counties were all gathered, men and women, old and young, all looking curiously at the young and somewhat excessive human lord in front of them.

Mei Yi stood in the banquet hall wearing a crisp black lord's uniform and holding a royal sword with a snowflake pattern in her hand. After Evelyn introduced the resume of the new lord, she read out the appointment certificate of His Majesty the King.

After all the procedures were over, Mei Yi said: "I gathered everyone here today, first, to get to know each other and contact our feelings. The second is to read out the core content of the draft law of Sombra City, and the bill will be distributed to all counties tomorrow and officially begin to be implemented. The third is to mobilize all counties to make all-out efforts to provide disaster relief. ”

When the lords heard Evelyn read the articles that "all men are born free and equal regardless of age, race, gender, or status", "the personal safety and legal property of individuals are sacrosanct", and "the legislative, judicial, and military powers shall be taken over to the high lords, and private law and lynching shall be prohibited, and private armies shall be abolished within a limited time", they all smiled contemptuously as if they had heard some incredible joke.

Human lord, you are so anxious that you actually tell us face to face that you want to take our power. A fool will promise you!

Ignoring everyone's disdain, Mei Yi introduced the ruling ranks of the lord's mansion to the lord of the twenty-first county. The lords standing below almost burst into their stomachs with evil laughter, the Minister of War had only an army of a few dozen men in his hands, and the Minister of Finance was almost penniless.

However, the personal secretary and minister of justice of the lord are rare and stunning women. In particular, the Minister of Justice, although he tried his best to hide himself, could not hide the holy and beautiful style on his body.

Several lords hit her mind.

Mei Yi looked around at the lord in the hall and said, "The most urgent thing at the moment is disaster relief. Sombra City and the surrounding 21 counties are all located in the lower reaches of the Bailuoshui River, and nearly one million people have been affected. The lord's mansion has allocated 1 million gold coins to buy grain and improved seeds, which will be transported to the major disaster areas on the same day, and the lords are requested to pay close attention to disaster relief matters after they return. Those who fail to provide disaster relief shall be relieved of their duties as lord on the spot and their property shall be confiscated. ”

No one in the banquet hall responded to Mei Yi, and fell into a terrible silence.

The ruling team behind Mei Yi was like a mirror, knowing that these lords were not convinced by Mei Yi at all. Each of them had more than a hundred guards with him, and if they were really annoyed, they would dare to destroy the mansion of the lord on the spot, kill all the men, divide the women, and then put the blame on the robbers, as if nothing had happened.

As if she hadn't seen it, Mei Yi smiled and invited all the lords to the banquet outside the hall.

Outside the lord's mansion, the sky and trees pierced the blue sky, and the white clouds like cotton wool swam leisurely in the air. On the grass on the bank of the Luoshui River, more than a dozen tables were set up, and the tables were full of all kinds of delicacies. Mei Yi and the lords, the ministers of the lord's mansion, and the senior staff brought by the lords took their seats one after another, and the atmosphere gradually relaxed.

During the banquet, Ghani, the lord of Mailang County, asked, "Your Excellency, I heard that you were made a high lord because you helped the king quell the lord's coup d'état. ”

Mei Yi said, "Yes. ”

Ghani asked: "Almost no one knows about this coup, can you tell us what happened?" ”

Illya at the table thought to herself: Meiyi is not present, how can he know? But he's a good storyteller, and it's always okay to make things up.

Unexpectedly, Mei Yi said directly: "I did not directly participate in the pacification of the coup, but a person I recommended played an important role in the pacification of the coup, so I was named the great lord." ”

The lord at the table laughed, and the lord of Qingquan County, Dot, said without fear: "It would be great if we could also have such luck as the Great Lord." ”

Those great lords couldn't help but despise Meiyi even more.
