Feng Aotian is the protagonist? Take it!

At this moment, the already silent secret room fell into deathly silence, as if one could hear the heartbeat.

General Miu Xie is a legendary figure. He is so famous that even Sede and Bai Huo can often hear rumors about him.

If one day, the Tenidi Empire were to go to war with the Tianlong Empire, the most difficult person would not be the Tianlong King who is good at strategy, but General Miu Xie who can execute the strategy perfectly.

His military strength, judgment, execution ability, and intelligence to perfectly understand strategies make him invincible.

Then, Said and Bai Huo sorted out the information they had heard in their minds.

In other words, after Zhang Liang chopped down the mountain, he still had the strength to defeat two famous top warriors at the same time?

How outrageous! ?

Now, Sayid was very concerned about one thing, which was why he fought with Ouyang Shuo.

"What is Zhang Liang's purpose?"

"He wanted to stop the war and protect Connor Village. At this time, he has entered the Dukedom."

Sede didn't know why he had to protect a village, but all the clues connected.

After some thought, Sede and Bai Huo looked at each other and nodded.

They all thought that Zhang Liang could handle this matter.

"Any other reports?"

"Gone."

Hearing this, Seide looked at an Anbu and ordered, "Go contact Zhang Liang and ask him what his plans are, and convey my intention to find an opportunity to meet with him privately."

"As ordered."

Then, three Anbu flashed before Seide's eyes and disappeared without a trace.

After the Anbu left, Seide picked up a report on the table, opened it, and placed it in front of Bai Huo.

"Regarding the rising prices in the capital, this is the solution Zhang Liang proposed."

Bai Huo didn't quite understand why Seide showed him this, after all, he was not interested in business.

But after seeing the content, he was still shocked by this "membership" model.

The projected revenue is actually several times higher than that of Holy Spirit College.

For Bai Huo, who has lived for most of his life, he has seen a lot, but this kind of business model is the first time he has seen it.

"Do you think Zhang Liang, who provided us with this plan, is a friend or an enemy?"

"Not an enemy."

In fact, Seth felt the same way.

If Zhang Liang really had ill intentions towards the empire, he could have used this opportunity to give the empire a push.

Sede believed that with Zhang Liang's wisdom, current financial resources, and the leverage he had, he was fully capable of doing this.

But he didn't do that.

This time, he also went to the Dukedom, intending to resolve the civil unrest crisis.

Suddenly, Sayid felt his stomach feel less tight and more comfortable.

"Old Bai, if I told you to lose to Zhang Liang on purpose, would you feel emotional?"

"Haha." Bai Huo stroked his beard and chuckled twice, "The outcome is unpredictable, so why talk about deliberateness?"

In fact, after learning that Zhang Liang defeated Ouyang Shuo, Bai Huo had already wanted to compete with Zhang Liang again.

This is a rare opportunity to try it out.

Seeing Bai Huo's excited look, Said also smiled and said, "It seems that we have to prepare a huge stage for you."

······

After relaxing with a cup of tea, Sayid picked up another report.

This is a report on underground auctions.

"Ye Yu is really obsessed with money. He actually asked for 300 gold coins as a reward."

"You should know clearly why the child is short of money."

Hearing Bai Huo's words, Seid sighed.

"Raising 100 million gold coins is not a small amount. Insini Prison is really asking for too much."

Insini Prison is known as the world's number one prison with a 0% chance of invasion/escape.

"I'm afraid she'll die before she can rescue her brother."

"As the former head of the ANBU, her ability is unquestionable. She knows her limits."

As the chief of the Anbu, he earns too little money.

For this reason, she broke through the realm, took off the mask of the Anbu, and became the third of the Empire's Ten Greatest Ones, the feared Sunderer.

"Tell me, are the rumors outside true?"

"Any news about the Sword Dao Demon Lord's arrival in the capital?"

Bai Huo stroked his beard and thought for a moment before answering, "I think it's fake. If he came, the evil spirit on him couldn't be concealed."

"I think so."

Seide thought for a while and continued, "Since the formula has been exposed in my hands, it would be better to continue to participate in the auction."

Hearing this, Bai Huo nodded.

"Indeed. Even though he didn't come in person, it doesn't mean he won't send someone."

Bai Huo stroked his beard and said, "As long as we track down the whereabouts of the formula, there is still a way to steal the ingredients of the Black Rock Dragon."

Seth nodded.

Then, Sede and Bai Huo chatted for a while.

It's very late.

Just when Bai Huo was about to leave, Sede took out another report and handed it to Bai Huo.

"Almost forgot."

"When our delegation was building a cat bed for Zhang Liang, we accidentally collapsed the dormitory next door. Can you help me deal with it?"

"The envoys are building a cat bed?"

Bai Huo didn't understand why the diplomatic corps would build a cat's nest, and he didn't understand how a cat's nest could collapse someone else's dormitory.

"Okay, I'll go check it out tomorrow."

Feeling that everything related to Zhang Liang was outrageous, Bai Huo planned to go and see what was going on.

Section 1#Volume 3: Change of Rank: Chapter 395: Peak of Demonic Life

next morning.

The Duke's lord city, Meixi City.

In front of the Duke's Palace, tens of thousands of militiamen gathered. At a glance, even the streets were filled with people, densely packed.

Each of them held a white flower in their hands. Depending on their own conditions, some held real flowers, while others held flowers made of cloth or paper.

There is no essential difference, both can be used to commemorate the dead.

Just then, a man in a black tuxedo and a curly mustache stood up on the podium.

This person, Jing Ke, is the assistant officer of Duke Longtao.

"Bang bang."

He tapped the loudspeaker and tested the sound.

Then, he picked up the megaphone and said in a loud and steady voice:

"Thank you all for gathering here. With your condolences, the spirit of Duke Longtao in heaven will surely be comforted."

Most of the people gathered here are ordinary people, who come here spontaneously.

What is different from the past is that they wore various equipment according to their own conditions.

Some hung wooden boards on their chests as heart guards, and some wrapped iron sheets around their knees as knee pads.

Compared with the regular army, their equipment is extremely backward and even unsightly.

But the more this is the case, the more it represents their determination to resist.

Even if they have no equipment, even if they have no resources, they will do everything they can to create the conditions.

In order to tip the scales of victory in their favor, they armed themselves to the extreme!

After Jing Ke finished talking about the life story of Duke Longtao, he began to talk about his experiences as a lord.

"When Duke Longtao first took office, he was very nervous and couldn't find the toilet. He almost ran away during the succession ceremony."

At the beginning, he started with a funny plot and amused all the people.

Then, Jing Ke began to tell the real things that Duke Longtao had done for the people since he took office.

"He was kindhearted and couldn't bear to see the children in need wandering around, so he set up an orphanage out of his own pocket and even used half of his salary to support them every year."

There was complete silence at the scene, as everyone had witnessed the incident.

With the help of Duke Longtao, there are no more orphans in the Dukedom.

"In order to make the children live a happy life, he has been looking for good families, hoping that someone can adopt them."

Seeing the people silent and solemn, Jing Ke snorted in his heart.

What is asking for trouble?

The money was all issued by the empire. He bribed officials and even took kickbacks from it.

Not to mention that he used half of his salary to support them every year, he actually made a fortune from it.

The adopted people were all puppets controlled by Jing Ke using drugs.

Since they were outsiders and few people cared about orphans, no one was willing to investigate.

At last.

After going around in circles, they finally entered Duke Longtao's stomach and became nutrients that provided him with strength.

Seeing that the people had been kept in the dark and were still mourning him, Jing Ke really wanted to laugh.

Humans are really stupid.

After listening to Duke Longtao's story, the people's expressions became more determined, and they were united.

By this time, Jing Ke's goal had been achieved.

only···

He felt that this was not enough and that there was still room for improvement.

In order to add fuel to the people's emotions, Jing Ke closed his eyes and thought for a while.

After a while, his voice became choked, and he said in a somewhat desolate voice:

"There are some things that Duke Longtao has never allowed me to say."

He wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, suddenly raised his head and looked at the people with firm eyes.

"Today! I decided to go against his wishes! I will tell you the truth!"

After hearing Jing Ke's words, everyone looked solemn and listened attentively.

"In order to expand the market and provide better living conditions for the people..."

The sobbing intensified. "As a duke, he has begged many people in private and even knelt down to others more than once. For everyone... he really is..."

At this point, Jing Ke burst into tears.

He lowered his head so low that people could only see his slightly trembling body.
