Chapter 245: The Kindness of a Woman
"Overall, the geography of Long Ridge County is not much better than that of the town of Manbach, but there are more resource points than the town of Manbach.
There is only one iron ore mine of the same size in Mambach Town, that is, the 'Zhenbei Iron Ore Mine', but there are at least four iron ore mines of the same size as the 'Zhenbei Iron Ore Mine' in Changling County.
However, 'Iron 27 ore' is rarely excavated, and in addition to the iron ore mines, there are two large copper mines and one large silver mine.
and the largest open-pit black fuel mine within the boundaries of Cheongju City, the Gubonsan Black Fuel Mine......"
Li Yinguang waited for the housekeeper Goda to say something about the same before he continued: "In other words, Changling County is not poor, and it is richer than Manbach Town?" ”
The housekeeper Goda shook his head: "Ordinary people will definitely not be very rich, no matter where they are, even if they are in the imperial capital, the lives of ordinary people are not much better than that of Mambach Town." But the Ironclad City Lord, the Mine Owner, and the Grocer should be more powerful than the ones in the Mambach Town area! ”
The words 'more powerful' can be summed up quite intuitively, although the ordinary residents of the Mambach town area are not rich, but the local lords, the Mambach family, are not poor.
From the Mambach family, in just one night, an ironclad city formation has been integrated, and it is not difficult to see.
"The details of King Changling, have you investigated it?" Li Yinguang nodded and asked thoughtfully.
The housekeeper Goda said: "I only know that Si Hua Teng, the king of Changling, has not been here for a long time, but since Si Hua Teng came, the quality of life of the locals in Changling County has generally decreased a lot. ”
Li Yinguang was stunned, and couldn't help but touch his nose and asked, "Isn't King Changling quite capable?" ”
The butler Goda smiled bitterly: "Si Huateng does have skills, and because of this, the degree of control and exploitation of the entire Changling County is far greater than that of Mambach Town!" ”
Li Yinguang suddenly realized that the people in power in this world do not regard their people as water, and they do not have the concept that water can carry a boat and overturn a boat.
In this bizarre steampunk world, there are only plundering, occupying, exploiting, and oppressing, and the more capable the lord, the more miserable the people in the territory will live.
There are several major reasons for this, such as the size of the world, even if it is an ordinary small county or small territory, it is hundreds of kilometers in size, and the lord often has less than one percent of his ability to control his territory, and most of the regions belong to the wilderness.
And the use value of ordinary people is extremely limited, no matter how outstanding their personal ability is, they can't resist the ironclad city lord, if you want to upgrade the ironclad city, the first thing is resources, not people.
'Lord' is just a title, when the strength is not as good as a certain ironclad city lord, in a certain region, the strongest voice will not be the lord, but the most powerful ironclad city lord.
The next morning.
When it was dark, Andy Fei opened her eyes and found that Bai Youxuan, the wife of Si Huateng beside her, had already woken up, but she did not wake her up.
"What time is it?" Andy Fei frowned slightly and asked.
Bai Youxuan said with a smile: "It's almost noon!" ”
Sitting up from the bed, Andy Fei said with a cold face and an expressionless face: "We should go!" ”
Bai Youxuan didn't stop her, but asked softly, "Are you willing?" ”
Andy Fei frowned, but his face became even colder: "Are you willing to go with me?" ”
"Giggles, the county lord himself thinks he can take Youxuan away?"
He also sat up.
Before Bai Youxuan left Antifei's room, she didn't persuade her to stay, nor did she stop Andy Fei from staying.
But in the end, Adifi chose to stay one more day!
One day
It should be fine!
Perhaps it also happened to be this day that became a turning point for something.
"Andy Fei is reluctant to leave!"
When the news reached Li Yinguang's ears, it was already evening, and the sun was about to set.
Li Yinguang didn't feel much surprised by this, but said calmly: "The climate in Changling County is much better than that in the Mambach Town area, at least it is not so cold during the day. ”
But the wind at night is biting.
The night before, someone had touched the Castle Iron Armored City, Li Yinguang knew, but he pretended not to know, and he didn't pay attention to the person who quietly touched it.
Three or five nightcrawlers came to feel the situation, even if they explored the truth and reality, but the next night dozens of people came over, why, still want to carry out the decapitation operation?
"Head, what's going on, how can there be a wall here?"
"Something is wrong, when we came here just now, there was obviously nothing behind us!"
"Where did everyone else go? Why are there only a few of us left? ”
Li Yinguang mobilized the iron plates in the Castle Iron Armor City to separate the people who sneaked into the Iron Armor City, and they were all trapped in the iron cage, the five-armor thick steel plates, which could basically trap all the masters, unless they were carrying heavy weapons.
"What are you panicking, so many of you have touched the city lord's ironclad city, and the city lord has not panicked!" Li Yinguang's voice sounded in the ears of the intruder.
At this time, the people of the King of Changling knew that they had won the plan!
"You are the Ironclad City Lord of the Ancient Castle, Lord Li Yinguang?"
Li Yinguang separated the iron armor blocking in front of him, looked at the middle-aged man who was speaking, tilted his head, and asked curiously: "That's right, you are again?" ”
The middle-aged man hurriedly nodded and smiled: "Misunderstanding, it's a complete misunderstanding!" ”
"Huh!"
Li Yinguang laughed, he was not a three-year-old child, where would he believe that there was any misunderstanding. In the middle of the night, dozens of people touched the ironclad city and bumped into a person, saying what is the misunderstanding?
"Misunderstanding or not, it's not very important, you tell me first, who are you and who are they?" Li Yinguang squinted his eyes and asked with a smile.
"The old slave's surname is Feng, everyone calls me Uncle Feng, he is the entourage steward next to the King of Changling, and these people are the guards of the Changling Palace!"
The reason why he told it all was that Uncle Feng felt that outside the Lingwang City, at the door of the Changling King's house, the young man in front of him didn't dare to do anything to them, at most, he asked the Manbach family to ask Situ Teng for an explanation, and they still had a glimmer of life nine times out of ten, which was better than the secret.
"The guards of the King of Changling, hehe, it's very majestic, you came to Ironclad City tonight to kill me?" Li Yinguang asked with a smile.
Uncle Feng smiled awkwardly and hurriedly shook his head: "There is absolutely nothing I told you, it's a misunderstanding!" ”
"Okay, this city lord believes what you said for the time being, so can you lay down your arms and surrender first? As for whether it is a misunderstanding, tomorrow morning, I will ask His Royal Highness King Changling in person! Li Yinguang said.
"This ......"
Uncle Feng's eyes flickered, obviously a little reluctant.
Li Yinguang frowned, and snorted coldly: "Don't be embarrassed, let you lay down your weapons, it is also to avoid a bigger conflict, and the words will come, didn't you keep saying that it was a misunderstanding just now?" ”
"Can you invite King Changling to come?" Uncle Feng bit it secretly, and asked with a smile.
Li Yinguang said: "Even if you don't say it, I will send someone to invite it, but the premise is that you must put down your weapons first, after all, looking at the guy in your hands, the city lord is not very comfortable." ”
"Yes, yes, the big guys all listen to City Lord Li, and if they are wronged, put down their weapons first, and after King Changling comes after a while, they will naturally explain it clearly to City Lord Li for us!" Uncle Feng squinted his eyes and said loudly.
He still had a trace of fantasy in his heart, betting that Li Yinguang would not dare to do anything to them, after all, the high-level members of the Mambach family were all in Lingwang City.
When everyone had laid down their weapons, Saipan led the men in and tied them all up.
"City Lord, they're all caught!" Saipan walked up to Li Yinguang and said.
Li Yinguang nodded, and said with a cold face: "Open their mouths, interrogate them one by one, and don't let go of any information about the Changling King and the Lingwang City." ”
Saipan's eyes flashed with a cold glint and asked, "What about that person?" ”
Li Yinguang gritted his teeth, relentlessly, and said softly: "Dead or alive, throw the corpse into the smelting furnace and burn it!" ”
"Yes!"
Saipan breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, he was really afraid that Li Yinguang would not be ruthless, the benevolence of women, you must know that the subordinates of King Changling have infiltrated the ancient castle and ironclad city to kill people.
In the control room, Li Yinguang sat on a metal chair, his brows were furrowed, and Irma, the housekeeper Goda, Sophia, Buhe, Gu Liyan, Lan Ling and other high-level personnel were all present.
