Chapter 464: Mutual Temptation

Coming to the gate of the city, looking at the endless convoy outside the city, Li Yunyang narrowed his eyes, and was a little puzzled, which one is Duke Zhuoen going to do?

All the carriages in the convoy were the kind of carts that could only be pulled by the combined efforts of four large horses. Judging from the deep marks left by the wheels on the ground, all the wagons were filled with goods, but they were tightly covered with tarpaulins, and it was impossible to see what was on them.

The neighing of horses could be faintly heard behind the convoy, and Li Yunyang looked into the distance and found that behind the convoy, there were at least a thousand good horses.

Although there were many carriages in the convoy, the Duke of Zhuoen sat on a large sedan chair carried by twelve people. The palanquin is gray throughout, but the corners are covered with tassels and gold edges, and on top of it are fist-sized night pearls, surrounded by colorful gemstones, and the sedan curtain is also made of the finest silk.

And the people who carry the sedan chair are the kind of strong men who can beat the earth-shattering war drums when the two armies are fighting, and the sedan chair will be as steady as a mountain, and the sedan chair will not shake at all.

Such a pompous appearance really shocked Li Yunyang, he didn't expect that Duke Zhuoen, who looked upright by nature and looked old-fashioned, was actually a sullen lord, and he was obviously showing off his net worth to Li Yunyang.

A duke flaunting his wealth like a small viscount may seem inconceivable to others.

But if you count the three territories owned by Li Yunyang, as well as his identity as the leader of the Holy Moon Court Sect, and the strong ability to absorb gold from the Huimei Group, all kinds of factors add up, Duke Zhuoen wants to cooperate with Li Yunyang, but he doesn't want to be looked down upon by Li Yunyang, so he made such a big show.

This practice seems to be mostly ostentatious, but it also contains a silent deterrence, which shows the Duke of Zhuoen's deep family background on the other hand.

Seeing that Duke Zhuoen didn't seem to have any intention of getting off the sedan chair, and even the sedan curtain was not opened, Li Yunyang knew that he was holding the shelf, so he walked up to the palanquin, coughed and said: "Duke Zhuoen, I'm really sorry, I didn't know that you were coming to Parvas, so I didn't go out to greet you, please don't be surprised." ”

After waiting for a while, a long yawn came from the sedan chair, and a pretty maid opened the sedan curtain, bowed her head to Li Yunyang in a crisp tone and said, "Lord Duke just woke up and is washing now, please wait a little longer." ”

"Yes, thank you. Li Yunyang knew that Duke Zhuo En was deliberately putting on a show, wanting to occupy the position of the dominant one before the two met, and when they were talking about business, they could occupy a favorable position.

Judging from the convoy brought by Duke Zhuoen this time, Li Yunyang can judge that Duke Zhuoen seems to have made up his mind to cooperate with him, and even has some posture at the expense of blood.

Obviously, Duke Zhuoen takes this cooperation very seriously, so he wants to stand in a position to control the overall situation and obtain more benefits for him when discussing cooperation.

It's just that in Li Yunyang's opinion, Duke Zhuoen's appearance shows his nervousness. Before the two met, he expressed his inner tension from the convoy full of goods and the sedan chair carried by twelve people.

"Viscount Allen, no, I think it's more appropriate to call you Lord Allen now, after all, at a young age, you have three territories, which is not seen in the entire empire, or even the entire Star Continent. ”

Just when Li Yunyang was thinking about what kind of cooperation Duke Zhuo En was going to talk to him about this time, Duke Zhuo En finally stepped down from the sedan chair with the help of two pretty maids.

First praised Li Yunyang, and then Duke Zhuoen said with a smile: "Lord Allen, I'm glad that we met again so soon, and I hope my arrival didn't disturb you in dealing with the government affairs of Pavas Town." ”

Duke Zhuoen's hypocritical polite words made Li Yunyang laugh immediately, but he still followed Duke Zhuoen's words and said: "Your Excellency Duke, it is my honor to be able to meet you again, even if I am busy, I will take time to entertain you." ”

Hearing that Li Yunyang was able to hold back his curiosity, he didn't ask what the hundreds of carriages were pulling, but instead told him these useless words about skipping class, which made Duke Zhuoen a little anxious.

However, in order to occupy the absolute initiative, Duke Zhuoen still calmed down and continued to smile and said: "Lord Allen, what you said is not right, handling the government affairs of the territory is your first priority, if I have any bad impact on the town of Pavas because of my arrival, it will make me feel guilty." ”

As he spoke, Duke Zhuoen deliberately turned around and guided Li Yunyang's gaze to look at the convoy, waiting for his question.

However, Li Yunyang didn't seem to notice the hundreds of carriages, his eyes still stayed on Duke Zhuoen's body, and he said with some apologies: "Since the Duke is so reasonable, there are indeed many government affairs that need to be dealt with in the town of Pavas, so please come to the town with me first, let me arrange a residence for you first, and then I will deal with official business." ”

"What...... What?"

As soon as these words came out, Duke Zhuo En suddenly exclaimed, Li Yunyang's completely unreasonable approach made him directly not know how to lead the topic to the team

But Li Yunyang said seriously: "Thank you Lord Duke for your understanding, I only became the lord of Parvas Town yesterday, and I have a lot of things on my hands, and I haven't finished dealing with them yet, and I ask the Duke to follow me into the General's Mansion first, rest for a while, and wait until the dinner time, I will come to entertain you." ”

These words made Duke Zhuo En completely stupid, and he immediately understood that he had underestimated Li Yunyang and regarded him as a reckless man who only knew bravery.

You must know that the last time they met, Li Yunyang was forced by force to achieve the goal of reducing the tax rate of Huimei Group, and at that time, Duke Zhuoen also had a fight with Li Yunyang.

This incident made Duke Zhuo En remember it vividly, and this time Vikris came to inform him that Li Yunyang led the army to take Fort Yat and the town of Pavas one after another, and completely annihilated the Watsengill army, which once again deepened Duke Zhuo'en's impression of Li Yunyang's bravery.

And the general generals who lead the army are brave and long, but they are not good at strategy, obviously, Duke Zhuo En also classified Li Yunyang into this category of people.

However, Duke Zhuo En didn't expect that Li Yunyang was actually a figure with both wisdom and martial arts, and his strategy to deal with ordinary reckless generals would not work at all in him!

Fortunately, Duke Zhuo En is also a person who has experienced great storms, and he has also had the experience of looking away when he is looking at people, so he immediately changed his strategy, nodded and catered to Li Yunyang and said, "In this way, there is Lord Lao Allen." ”

During the conversation between the two, they completely ignored the convoy that stayed outside the city, and after the Duke of Zhuoen nodded, Li Yunyang took him into the town of Parvas.

In addition to the few maids who accompanied them, hundreds of carriages, and thousands of soldiers escorting the convoy were directly abandoned by the two of them outside the city, as if they had forgotten them directly.

After arranging a residence for Duke Zhuo En in the General's Mansion, Li Yunyang did not leave directly to deal with the government affairs of the town as he said, but said to Duke Zhuo En: "Lord Duke, I have a request, I don't know if you can agree?"

Duke Zhuoen's eyes lit up, and he thought that Li Yunyang finally couldn't help but ask about the convoy, and hurriedly replied: "Lord Allen, you don't have to be so polite, just say something, as long as it is within my power, of course I will promise you." ”

Looking at the smug look that flashed in Duke Zhuoen's eyes, Li Yunyang immediately smiled, took out the list prepared for him by Commander Bolun and said, "Lord Duke, I want to ask for a few people from you, I hope you can agree." ”

The smile on Duke Zhuoen's face suddenly froze, and he took the list in Li Yunyang's hand with some hesitation, glanced at it, and found that it was all unfamiliar names.

After trying to recall, Duke Zhuoen found out that these people were all officers who he sent to the small town of Parvas to Li Yunyang as reinforcements.

They all belong to the kind of guys who act too rigidly, only understand military orders, don't know how to cater to superiors, and often make people unable to get off the stage.

For these reinforcements that he originally regarded as sacrificial sacrifices and gave to Li Yunyang, Duke Zhuo En didn't care about the stay of these people at all, and when he saw that he could sell Li Yunyang a favor, he immediately pretended to be bold and said: "Isn't it just a few people? As long as Lord Allen speaks, no matter who it is, I will send him to your command!"

Duke Zhuoen said a joke, took out the lord's seal from his bosom, and found a pen, ink, paper, and inkstone, and prepared to write a transfer letter to give these officers to Li Yunyang.

However, when he was about to write, Li Yunyang stopped Duke Zhuoen and said: "Lord Duke, I'm sorry, I haven't finished what I said just now, in addition to the people on the list, I want one more Commander Bolun." ”

Hearing the name of the commander of Bran, Duke Zhuoen was immediately stunned, he felt that he had been pitted by Li Yunyang!

For Duke Zhuoen, although the reinforcements sent to Li Yunyang this time were all the elites of his territory, they were also officers and soldiers under his command who were not valued by him or disliked by him.

Although the commander of Brenne was not on his list of disgust, the Duke of Djourn did not pay much attention to him, because after several successive victories in Bren, he was promoted to the position of commander, and he was in charge of an army of 5,000.

This is for a soldier, his life path has been half successful, as long as he makes some achievements in a timely manner, and slowly boils up a few years of seniority, it is not too far to be promoted to the post of general.

However, when the Duke of Zonne conferred the title of commander on Burren, after accepting the position of commander, Burren asked him in front of the whole army why he did not increase the pension of the dead soldiers, and why he did not arrange a job for the orphans and widows who were left behind.
