Chapter 161: Eating Inside and Out
Jiang Hao knew that General York's crystal vein was certainly valuable.
But his ultimate goal was not the crystal vein.
You know, this is just a frontier area.
Here, even if you have ten thousand taels of gold, you have no use for it.
The trade in the border areas is no better than that of the royal capital.
Moreover, the Duchy of Ettar, which is close to the border of Moonlight City, is not very friendly with the kingdom.
That is, otherwise General York would have hoarded a lot of wealth at this very moment.
Otherwise, it is likely that the wealth would have circulated to a disadvantage for the kingdom.
Jiang Hao also thinks that it is the first case.
Because the current state of the kingdom, no matter how dull and corrupt it is, is not tyranny raging in the end.
To put it bluntly, it is nothing more than that in the late stage, the king does not take money to build a house, but goes to be a self-protection dog.
Although the level of governance of King Bataiil has declined, it does not mean that he has reduced his tyranny.
After all, the foundation of the kingdom is here, and it is impossible to be poor anywhere.
It's just a bitter border town like Flower Town.
If it weren't for Jiang Hao's arrival, I'm afraid this place would have become a dead town at this moment.
"Jiang Hao, I warn you not to deceive people too much!"
"How much do I deceive? Dare to ask why the reward order of the town of Trans at that time came into the hands of General York? ”
Jiang Hao sneered and asked disdainfully.
In fact, Jiang Hao didn't want to know the specific method.
For the former lord who was still a baron, it was impossible for the Duke of York to rob openly.
Then that's all that's left to be deceived.
"Jiang Hao, I warn you, if you collide with the nobles at will, you will pay for your life!"
"I confront a man who has deprived my family of territory, what do I have to pay for my life?!"
Jiang Hao's words were sentence after sentence.
General York broke out in a cold sweat.
He knew that his means of taking the town of Truence were not honorable.
The most important thing is that he is afraid that Jiang Hao will report this matter to the top, and then things will be difficult to handle.
"Less! Knights! Give me ......."
Seeing that the threat was not realized, General York became angry.
Don't look at this person's bad deeds, but this elite knight under his hand is still quite deterrent.
Otherwise, it would not be in the palace, and all the nobles would have to look at his face.
Here, if you have money, you can protect yourself; Have the right to command others.
However, before General York's order could be issued, a shocking noise could be heard above the castle tower of Flower Town.
Rumble!
Suddenly, no one on General York's side dared to speak.
The momentum of the clamor just now completely lost this time.
Above the castle tower, a magic cannon was facing the knights who were about to act.
At this moment, York didn't dare to move at all.
Breaking bones and scattering ashes is no fun thing.
"Hmph, wait for me, stinky boy!"
General York walked away.
He probably never imagined that today's conversation would be such a result.
"Lord Jiang Hao, this ......"
Old Corey was still a little worried.
After all, now it seems that Jiang Hao has completely angered General York.
This small place, General York, is a soil emperor.
Before Jiang Hao, almost no one dared to fight him.
"Since he doesn't want to cooperate, then don't blame me for being ruthless."
Jiang Hao didn't care about General York's combat power.
The Elite Knights are certainly brave in battle, but they are probably not as brave and invincible as they are rumored.
If it is really difficult to resist, then York only needs to use it to regain a few lost kingdoms and be active on a larger platform.
At the very least, the predictable profits are much higher than in such a small place.
It's just that after saying that.
The feud between Flowertown and General York is completely settled.
Although everyone knew that General York did not dare to come and attack casually.
What Jiang Hao cared about was what was hidden under that crystal vein.
According to Americk, as he passed by, he sensed the variety of crystals there.
Ordinary merchants who find crystal veins will usually sell the mined items as gems.
Some of these crystals contain magical energy, which are the objects of the magician's leakage.
But if you can make a person with a high degree of magic affinity stand in the distance, you can feel the magic fluctuations in a certain crystal vein.
Clearly, then, this is no ordinary vein.
"Adrian, did you find out what you were asked to check at that time?"
"Lord Jiang Hao, which ore veins produce gems, York seems to have taken out half of the transaction with the palace magician."
Jiang Hao nodded.
This was not to be expected.
"What else?"
"The other part, I really don't know who he has circulated to......"
Adrian looked helpless.
But I can't blame him.
After all, General York is a cautious fellow.
If he can't guarantee his safety, he probably would rather sell it to some illiterate merchants.
"It looks like there are some secrets that no one knows."
If he didn't trade in the kingdom, then it was clear that General York was probably in league with the people of the other principalities outside.
As a general in charge of the Knights, it was not difficult for him to communicate with the people of the outer principalities.
What's even more terrifying is that there are many principalities with which the kingdom is at odds today.
Most of them are dissatisfied with the kingdom's current self-preservation and seclusion.
There are also Duchy territories that are closer to Fishing than Flower Town.
Which territories have been attacked by Warcraft for many years.
But every time a call for help is sent to the kingdom.
The kingdom always leaves aside under the pretext of stalking.
Since you have been unkind to me, then don't blame me for being unjust to you.
Over time, naturally, few principalities were not friendly with the kingdom.
What's more, many of the current principalities are ready to form a coalition army.
If at this time General York and them should be together inside and out.
Then this weakened kingdom will soon collapse.
No matter how much high combat power Bataiil has, it still won't help.
At most, he can keep him safe, and he can't fight thousands of troops at all.
And if the war really broke out, it was estimated that it would not be possible to stand with the old king's prestige.
"Adrian, which is the closest principality to this area?"
Jiang Hao had never thought about having an affair with other principalities before.
It's just that now it seems that it is still necessary to investigate.
After all, it is possible that General York, the old slippery head, has this idea.
"The nearest principality here is the Duchy of Mephis."
"Did he behave out of the ordinary with the kingdom?"
"Not really, but there's one thing that's very strange."
Adrian frowned slightly.
"In the last Warcraft Wave, the only principality that didn't receive any harm was the Principality of Mephis."
Jiang Hao was slightly stunned, feeling quite incredible, it stands to reason that this should be the place that will be hit first than Flower Town.
