A woman, with her own strength, can stir up the storm in the imperial capital, you can imagine how terrifying such a woman is.

Bai Youxuan looked at the man in front of him, who had been with him for thirty years, and he must have reluctance in his heart, but many times everyone has their own choices, such as Si Huateng, the 'King of Changling', in the face of a crisis of interests and power, he can give up his wife.

Time can change a lot of things, maybe the current King of Changling is no longer the personable and affectionate Si Huateng at the beginning.

"How?"

Si Huateng looked at Bai Youxuan with an anxious face, at this time he was already a little blind, without the 'Changling' Iron City, even if the 'Ling King City' was consumed, it would not be of much significance to take the Mambach family's Iron City formation.

Bai Youxuan took a deep breath, and her eyes gradually became firm: "Li Yinguang wants to use Si Hualing in exchange for the personnel of the Mambach family and the Tiejia City formation, as well as the right to mine the title deed of the Guifeng Mountain Mine. ”

Si Huateng was stunned, frowned gloomily and scolded: "Wishful thinking, what kind of thing is he Li Yinguang, dare to negotiate conditions with this king, and still want the turtle seal mountain mine, why don't he grab it!" ”

Behind him, the military general muttered in his heart, aren't people just robbing!

The Turtle Seal Mountain Mine was not worth much money before, but now the smell of gunpowder between the Obsidian Empire and the Holy Dragon Snow Mountain Dragon Clan is getting stronger and stronger, and no one can say whether it will really fight, in the area of Manbach Town, the price of black fuel has increased more than ten times, although the price of black fuel in Changling County is only two or three times, which is not very big, but if it really wants to fight, the value of the Turtle Seal Mountain Mine is not the current point.

Bai Youxuan didn't stop the King of Changling from cursing, and after he finished scolding, he said calmly: "The Changling has been swallowed up by the Ancient Castle, and now the strength of the Ancient Castle Iron Armored City is, none of us knows, Si Hualing, Mu Qihu and others were ambushed again, if we don't agree to Li Yinguang's request, he is likely to turn around and attack the 'Lingwang City' a few hours later." ”

Looking at Si Huateng, who had an ugly face, without waiting for him to speak, he continued: "It is not easy for Lingwang City to trap the Manbach family's ironclad city formation, if the ancient castle ironclad city attacks Lingwang City, then Changling King will lose all the foundation that you have been operating for the past thirty years. ”

After a slight pause, he said: "Even you can't get out of Changling County, and when the time comes, the Guifeng Mountain Mine will not be counted, and the other industries in your hands may also be taken away!" ”

"He dares!"

Si Huateng had a dark face and roared loudly: "This king is the canonized king of Changling in the empire, the lord of Changling County, he dares to plunder this king, it is because the empire is the enemy!" ”

Bai Youxuan calmly reminded: "You have forgotten, Li Yinguang is a nobleman, belonging to the 'Golden Peony' aristocratic branch, according to the imperial system, if he plunders you and defeats you, not only the property in your hands, but even your lord's title, is very likely to be taken away by him!" ”

The aristocratic system of the Obsidian Empire is very large, and there are many large and small nobles in the empire, and many times 'noble' is just a status title and is not valuable.

But sometimes, aristocracy can change many things, such as imperial pressure. The empire is not forbidden to compete for territory, territory, and even resources between nobles and nobles, after all, there are so many nobles and many lords, and it is a bit unmanageable.

The lord has a lot of autonomy in his own territory, can develop his own industry, agriculture, commerce, and develop his own military, which is basically equivalent to a small country, but sometimes, under pressure, must obey the orders of the empire, and pay taxes every year.

If an ordinary person kills a local lord and wants to take away the lord's identity, property, and territory, this will definitely not work, and the empire will send a legion to kill the 'rebels', take back everything, and then reward it to another lord.

But if the lord is seized by other lords, or killed, it is equivalent to a vain death, as long as the winning lord pays part of the tax to the empire.

The hierarchy of nobility is further divided into, viscount, earl, duke and archduke, theoretically speaking, the 'viscount' has the right to become a lord.

But many times, the aristocracy is also strong and weak, some nobles are deeply rooted, and some nobles are gradually declining, because the number of nobles is too large, not to mention that the empire can't manage it, or some of the imperial nobles can't take care of it.

For example, Li Yinguang, a down-and-out nobleman, although he belongs to the 'Golden Peony' aristocratic branch, he is not a descendant, so the main branch will not give him any assistance, and if he wants to revive, he can only rely on himself or his descendants.

"Golden Peony", "Purple Golden Flower", "Bi Luolan", "Bronze Car", "Crystal Plum", "Fire Bronze Bull", "Cross Sword", "Golden Dove", "Golden Tiger", and are known as the nine noble totems of the human race!

For example, the Sihua family where Si Huateng is located, he also belongs to the 'Golden Peony' aristocratic branch, and he has nothing to do with Li Yinguang's branch within eight hundred years.

In addition to the totem titles of the 'Nine Nobles', there are also hundreds of noble titles, large and small.

But there is a system of the 'Nine Nobles' that has continued to the present, that is, the human race will not stop the revival of the 'Nine Nobles'!

What does it mean, Li Yinguang is a down-and-out nobleman, but he is a branch of the 'Golden Peony' aristocratic lineage, like this kind of branch, there are not ten thousand but eight thousand in the Obsidian Empire, which is not very important.

The premise is that ordinary, mediocre, nothing too capable!

And to the extent that Li Yinguang is now, it is different, because he has risen and has a certain scale and power, and at this time, the identity of the 'noble' has become more and more important.

If Li Yinguang's ancient castle Iron Armor City can defeat the 'Lingwang City' and capture Si Huateng, the king of Changling, then all the properties under Si Huateng's name, including the territory, can be taken for himself, and when the time comes, as long as the identity information is conveyed to the empire, he can get the 'lord' to accept his fate.

All of the above belong to the content of the 'nobility treaty', and the 'nobility treaty' is not limited to the obsidian empire, including the current royal family of the obsidian empire, all of them are nobles, and they are all applicable to the 'nobility treaty'.

After the rise of the aristocracy, the empire can be eliminated as a potential enemy, but it must be recognized and acknowledged.

Because in recent millennia, almost all empires have evolved from thousands of lords, who can occupy larger territories and then tear down the old empire and create a new one.

To put it more simply, for example, the 'Obsidian Empire' is only a 'lord' with a large territory.

Listening to Bai Youxuan's words, Changling Wang Si Huateng fell silent.

Simply against the 'Castle' Ironclad City, Lingwang City may not lose, but the problem now is that there is still the Manbach family's Ironclad City formation in the port!

In the past, it was 'catching turtles in the urn', but now, it has become 'internal and external troubles'.
