132. Li Qi Red Dragon
"I can finally say a few words to you, Viscount Rand" After the marriage proposal, Li Qi Honglong met with Rand alone, "First of all, I want to sincerely apologize, this incident has affected your reputation after all"
"I'm not affected by anything," although Rand admits that Li Qi's methods are indeed clever, but he also dislikes this method of using others as pawns, "I'm afraid that the real impact is Teacher Greya"
"Of course, so I asked our ladies to apologize in advance before entering the venue," Li Qi looked at Rand with some surprise, "It's you, Viscount, I always wanted you to be the vice-captain of my guard, but unfortunately the legends didn't agree. ”
"You're too polite, I'm just the fourth son of a border baron, and I'm only where I am today thanks to good luck," Rand was very self-aware of himself, "A person like me is not suitable to live in the royal capital"
"Humility is a knight's virtue, but being too modest will miss many opportunities, my Viscount" Prince Li Qi was glad that Rand was able to support him today.
"Speaking of which, it's really a great favor for you to have Tierney Joathan as your family knight, Tierney is the heart of Mentor Liel, whether it is me or the Lan Yuan family, I have always hoped that he can find a place to be a knight, but his grandfather...
Li Qi didn't say any more, and Rand also knew that his grandfather used to be the head of the palace knights, and now he was assigned to the shrine, and his identity was too sensitive, and other nobles didn't dare to mess with or make friends, resulting in Tierney having potential, but no one was willing to cultivate.
Tierney belongs to the outcast, Rand belongs to the marginal people, no one cares anyway, and no one cares if Rand gives Tierney the name of a family knight.
"Look at what you said, Tierney has a pure personality, and with the careful guidance of Mentor Riel, he will definitely be able to break through to the high level in the future, and I am still waiting for him to be the captain of the Knights."
"Hahaha" Li Qi finally found the conversation, "Speaking of which, Viscount Lante, your knights are huge, and it's not easy to raise, right?" ”
"It's not a secret," Rand had already prepared to deal with, "Although my knights are large, they are mainly barbarian cavalry, and the Terran knights of the knights are all knights who were originally looted by barbarians in the salt mines of the Galloping Horse Plain. Now that I want to restore the production of the salt mines, I must get the barbarians back to the salt mines to dig for salt, and most of the knights will probably have to be stationed near the salt mines. ”
Supplying salt to the entire kingdom was Rand's biggest task as Viscount Roth, and this task was unanimously approved by the Earl of Maned Wolves from the National Pillar to the Maned Wolf, so naturally no one drove Li Qi away.
"I see." Li Qi is not surprised by this, and Rand is not stupid, it is strange to be able to give a knight order.
"Your Highness, I just listened to your plan for Dragon's Tooth City, and I believe you must have a grand vision."
"Yes, no matter how good the plan is, it needs the support of many nobles."
"I'm going back to Maned Wolf City today, there are still too many things going on in the territory, but I'll let Dugan and Tierney stay and help me take care of my business in the royal capital, and of course I've assigned them a team of 25 cavalry to assist them."
"Ah, Lante, you are really arrogant" Li Qi couldn't help but sigh with emotion, Lante was able to station 25 cavalry in the royal capital, as a comparison, Viscount Bob Roth, who was once the strongest under the Maned Earl Wolf, only had 25 knights in total.
And Li Qi's guard now has only 50 knights, and only 10 of them are knights of his family, and the rest are either palace knights or children of court nobles, in short, Li Qi wants to put his 50 knights together, so he has to spend some effort.
"Dugan Blue Dragon will be my representative here, if you need anything from my side, just tell him directly" Rand seemed to be asking Li Qi to use his powers, but it wasn't.
Dugan Blue Dragon is the former squadron leader of the Palace Knights, and Li Qi's commandable knights are almost all the children of Dugan's former colleagues, and Rand asked Li Qi to find Dugan with something, unless Li Qi pulls down his face to find him personally, otherwise Li Qi's subordinates will probably be directly rejected by Dugan.
"Great, I knew that Viscount Rand would support me" Li Qi also understood the truth, no matter what, Rand could let him have something to do with Dugan, and he had already shown his support for himself.
"By the way, Your Highness, I have prepared some gifts for you, all of which are some specialties from the Galloping Horse Plain, you can send someone to find time to go to our Chamber of Commerce to pick them up." Towards the end of the conversation, Randt took a sip.
"Viscount Rand, you really broke the bank, I'll let Crilius get it later" Li Qi didn't seriously think about Rand's gift, and only let his chief knight send Rand away.
The chief knight took Rand back to the dining room and asked, "Mr. Viscount, I wonder what kind of gift you have prepared for the duke?" ”
As a Crilius Lanyuan who actually went to get the gift, he needed to evaluate how many people to bring to get it.
"20 black-scaled horses" Rand said expressionlessly, but he was very unhappy in his heart, these horses were not so much for Li Qi, but for the fairy queen.
“20。。。 What do you say? Crilius even stopped, even for a court knight like him, the black-scaled horse was a rare good horse, and 20 horses were an absolute big deal.
"Your Highness has always said that you want me to be the Earl of the Court, and I am very moved, but unfortunately everyone has to press on the plains, and I can't support Your Highness.
So I'll send some horses over, and please tell Your Highness, don't think this gift is too light" Rand has been to the Blue Dragon Family's shop, and knows that in the royal capital, the price of a batch of Warcraft horses is higher than the price given by the Maned Wolf Earl.
“。。。 How can it be, I will explain to His Highness in a moment" Crilius was very excited, he was finally able to replace the old horse from before, "Lord Viscount supports His Highness so much, is there anything you need Your Highness's help with?" ”
"Originally, I didn't dare to bother Your Highness, but the foundation of my territory is too thin, and I want Your Highness to help operate a magic goblin"
"You mean the magic goblin?" Crilius was shocked, you people who are engaged in breeding are really atmospheric, generous, and there is no ambiguity in asking for things.
"How can it, just an ordinary magic goblin"
"Oh. . . You say goblin, then you can just tell me" Crilius breathed a sigh of relief, if Rand really wanted a goblin, he could only report it to the duke as it was.
After mixing with Crilius, Rand's main task was completed, and he returned to the banquet hall to eat and drink to his heart's content, and asked Dugan to send him back.
Prince Li Qi, who learned that Rand had given him a horse, was overjoyed, and although the marquis's heirs showed a betrayal alliance against him today, the new lord of the Galloping Horse Plains supported him.
Rand's heavy gift naturally paid off quickly, and in the afternoon Clerlius brought people and took away 20 black-scaled horses, which were specially let by Rand let his subordinates ride over in the name of the guards, since it was his subordinates who rode to the royal capital and gave them to the duke, naturally he did not violate the agreement with the earl.
And Rand also received Li Qi's kindness, an oval stone, and an egg of a demonic beast.
