Elf Sandstorm Lord

Chapter 228 Family Dilemma
Anton Town, Lord's Mansion.

"Did Yang Mu actually charge against the trend?" Zhang Yuan was a little surprised when he learned of the situation.

Obviously, he was a little surprised by the choice of this friend who had always been timid.

"Actually, his choice is reasonable. With the mobility of the Wind Speed ​​Dog, it is indeed more reliable to attack the cannon fodder troops of the rebels!
But in this way, even if he breaks through the rebel formation, he will still find a place to hide.If I try to find him again, it's like looking for a needle in a haystack.

Therefore, we have no choice but to return to Anton Town first.As for Yang Mu, I have transferred dozens of bird elves from the "Bird Valley" to cross the river to investigate, hoping to get news about him as soon as possible! "

Hearing this, Zhang Yuan also knew that Su Yan had indeed tried his best to search and rescue, but the situation in Qinchuan County was delicate, so he had to come back first.

"By the way, Lord Baron, only Zhao Hao and Han Feng are watching in Chimelong Town now. Do you want me to go there first?"

Hearing this, Su Yan shook his head and said: "There's no rush, compared to Andong Town, Chimelong Town is closer to the Qinling Mountains and further away from the rebels!

As long as the foreign enemies have not retreated, no lord will take action against us.Besides, I may receive news from Yang Mu at any time, or call for another coalition army.

I have to leave temporarily, you might as well stay with me first! "

Hearing this, Qin Shang on the side said: "Speaking of the rebels, I think it won't be long before it becomes a fight for the refugees among them."

"Mr. Qin, please elaborate!" Su Yan said.

"According to your Excellency, the Ming Cult's plan to encourage them to attack Qinchuan has failed, and they should have given up their support for this rebel army now.

I have just received a letter. This rebel army has made no achievements at all in the siege. Facing the Zhenzhen background of the old nobles, there is no way at all. They only captured a few nearby villages of unlucky fiefdom knights!
Next, these rebels should have some ideas among themselves!Among them, the powerful Mountain King wants to join the ranks of the fief lords, so he will naturally betray the other rebels!

Once these rebels have divided the pie, they will start negotiating with the surrounding nobles and issue orders. As for the remaining refugees, they will naturally be bargaining chips.

After all, after the disaster in the secret realm, the population of the Northwest Province plummeted, and most of the rebels were young and strong.After they are disbanded, the lords of all parties will also participate in the carving up! "

Hearing this, Su Yan nodded and said: "Now is the development period of our territory, and population is also very important.

Moreover, the population of our territory, which has two towns, is actually less than that of Baron Li Yang, which has only one Anning town!We can just use this opportunity to eat a wave of manpower! "

Just as he was talking, a Bibi bird suddenly flew out of the window of the conference room, shouting "Bibi~~".

Su Yan opened the window and Sun Yan translated some of Bibi Bird's Elvish language, and he couldn't help but frown!
Seeing this, Zhang Yuan said anxiously: "But I found that something happened to Yang Mu!"

Su Yan shook his head and said: "I haven't found him yet, but Baron Du Cheng has led to something big!
According to the news, the 12-year-old Baron who had just succeeded to the throne had died in the "big explosion".

Although the Du family secretaries do not announce their funeral, our detective work in Songyuan Town can ensure the accuracy of the information!
Well, what a pity. I even said hello to the young Baron Du Cheng in the Allied tent. He is indeed a spirited young man.

It's a pity that at such a young age, his strength is still weak.This self-destruction attack did not kill many nobles, but it took this young baron away! "

Hearing this, Qin Shang said: "Since we all know it now, I'm afraid we can't hide it from other lords around us!

It seems that the Du family, which has been passed down for hundreds of years, has really run out of energy!At this critical moment, two family heads have been lost one after another, and now there is no heir in the direct line. It seems..., tsk tsk~"

With that said, Qin Shang changed the subject and said: "Lord Baron, this is a God-given opportunity! Now, there is only one daughter left in the direct line of the Du family. The other branches must have had their thoughts. Those retainers must also be on their own sides at this moment! This But it gave the surrounding lords a chance in vain!

And among their three towns, we are the closest.It also borders the towns of Songyuan and Panshi. If the situation changes, we can be the first to take advantage!
Especially Songyuan Town is richer than Anton Town. Even if we only get this town in the end, it will be enough to surpass other surrounding lords! "

----------

Songyuan Town, Lord's Mansion.

As two generations of veterans of the Du family, the old man surnamed Jia and the captain of the Forbidden Knights both looked at the beautiful girl who was both familiar and unfamiliar in front of them with complicated expressions!

"Miss, I didn't expect you to be so fast. Before the Lord's Mansion received the news, you had already taken control of those relatives!"

"Hey~ I can't help it. If the news of my brother's death comes back. Even if I am as loyal to my father as you two, I am afraid that I will immediately consider which of my uncles to support!"

Hearing this, both of them were a little embarrassed, and Mr. Jia said:

"The two of us have watched the eldest lady grow up. As for her ability, we both know it well! Since the eldest lady has already planned to fight for herself, the two of us will naturally fight to the death!
It’s just that since ancient times, there has been no precedent for a noble female family member to be the master of the house in the Donghuang area!Even those with substantial power were exercised through the lord's husband or son.

At least so far, there is no precedent for a female member of a noble family to take power on her own!

Now, although the eldest lady has all those uncles and brothers under control, as time goes by, the various forces in the territory will still take action.

And if other surrounding lords take advantage of the situation to intervene, I am afraid that many people in the territory will take advantage of the situation! "

Hearing this, Du Weiwei thought for a while and said: "With our current strength, it is really difficult to occupy three towns again!

Currently, the only baron lords bordering our territory are Baron Su Yan in the west, and Baron Qin Xiao and Fan Tao in the east!
Now, the only way is to move all the resources and young people in Lisha Town to Songyuan Town!Let's leave an empty city and let the two lords Qin Xiao and Fan Tao fight for it!

As for Baron Su Yan, he has already taken too big steps in the expansion of the Disaster of the Secret Realm, and it is unlikely that he will take over more land!

As for the controversial mineral vein lying between Fluorescence Village and Panshi Town.Send someone to tell him that we completely give up our claim to its ownership and hope to form a formal alliance with Baron Su Yan! "

Hearing this, Mr. Jia said: "It seems that the eldest lady has already made a plan. I will pass on your intention now!"

Looking at Mr. Jia's leaving figure, Du Weiwei frowned, then turned to the Captain of the Forbidden Knight with a complicated expression and said:

"Uncle Yan, I heard that one of your nephews has grown up and wants to work in the lord's mansion. Why not transfer him to be Chimelong's tax collector?"

Hearing this, Captain Strictly Forbidden was surprised at first, but then he seemed to think of something!After taking a look at the direction Mr. Jia was leaving, they all said:
"But over there in Chimelong Town..., the current tax official seems to be..."

"Uncle Yan, you have watched me grow up and have taken good care of me since I was a child. Now in the territory, you are the only person I can completely trust!"

Hearing this, Yan Jin solemnly said: "I will definitely live up to my eldest lady! Also~, I will also arrange for my close associates to keep an eye on other people in important positions in the territory!"
