Chapter 60 Repairing the City Gate
Under Zennad's fist, the thick city gate was like paper, just one punch, it immediately fell apart!
The rumbling sound of the city gate collapsing was particularly ear-piercing in the tranquility of the morning, and immediately attracted a group of guards.
There were 30 guards in this team, holding long guns, wearing gray cloth clothes, with the symbol of crossed swords embroidered on the left chest, it seems to be Larry; Brown's civil guard.
In the Tudor dynasty, for a city without a lord, a supreme officer would be appointed, and if there was a lord, but the lord did not arrive, an acting city lord would be appointed, and the acting city lord was appointed by the lord. The situation is assigned by the emperor.
The acting city lord cannot form city guards, but he can form [-] civilian guards to assist in daily protection work, and other major defense tasks are handled by nearby garrisons.
For example, the main defense work of Chrysanthemum City should be in charge of the Cheetah Army, and the [-] civilian guards formed by Larry Brown have far exceeded the highest index he can form!Such an approach, in the Tudor dynasty, was a capital crime of beheading all families!
However, Chrysanthemum City is high and the emperor is far away, and Larry and Brown are right-hand ministers. Mercedes VII may not know some of the information, and even if he knows, he can only turn a blind eye to it.
After all, the civilian guards are not a regular army. Their discipline, strength, momentum, etc. are not the same as those of the regular army. Not much difference!
If they hadn't faced Li Xie and his group!
Seeing thirty civilian guards surround them, all the guards of Li Xie showed bloodthirsty eyes, they are the real regular army!And after following Li Xie for a long time, he is too comfortable, and just needs some fun!
However, their expressions of excitement, rather than fear, frightened the thirty guards!
Originally, they wanted to see which blind person destroyed the city gate, and wanted to fight in groups to show their prestige, but now, it was clearly a lamb who rushed into the pack of wolves!
"Who are you?" Thirty civilian guards just ran out but all retreated inside the city gate, the leader asked timidly.
Kano stood up and shouted: "Go and tell Larry; Brown, the evil duke is here, tell him to come out and kneel down to pick him up! What the hell are you doing? I'm going to beat him until he can't get on the horse!"
"Hahaha……"
A burst of laughter came from inside the city gate, and a group of people came out immediately. The leader was wearing a golden brocade robe with a golden crossed sword symbol on his chest. His hair was gray, but his face was smooth and rosy. I know he is old, but life is very nourishing!
Beside the leader, there are about a dozen other people in the same luxurious clothes. They should all be nobles, and behind these people, there are hundreds of civilian guards, menacing!
"Your Majesty, Lord of Chrysanthemum City, Earl Brown; Larry, meet Duke Xie." Larry Brown came ten meters in front of Li Xie and bowed to Li Xie.
The aristocrats around him also announced their families and paid homage to see them.
Li Xie smiled, but didn't respond, but he was thinking in his heart, how to deal with these people!
After the city gate was broken for a while, this group of people came out, obviously waiting to see a good show!
Such a boring trick will only make Li Xie even more disgusted with them!
"My lord, don't blame me. Bandits and robbers are rampant recently. The north gate usually doesn't open until ten o'clock. I don't want my lord to arrive before ten o'clock. The officials rushed here, but it's still too late to welcome my lord." Larry Brown bowed again, his face full. sorry.
"So that's the case, it's okay. It's just..." Li Xie smiled and said: "The Duke's city gate has been destroyed, so it must be repaired! Who will repair it? Um... The Duke has always been rewarded and punished. Whoever destroys the city gate should be repaired, right? My deputy city lord."
Larry Brown smiled and said, "Your Excellency is wise, and it is up to you to decide."
"Well... Then, my acting city lord, tell me, who is responsible for the breaking of the city gate?" Li Xie asked again.
Larry Brown still smiled: "Of course it is the responsibility of the lower officials. It is the lower officials who came late that caused the city gate to be destroyed. Besides, the gates of Chrysanthemum City should naturally be repaired by the lower officials!"
Whoa!Means this city is yours?It seems that if you don't scratch your head, I'm sorry for the party and the people!
Li Xie smiled kindly and amiably: "Well, since the Marquis of Brown has assumed this responsibility, I can't let you down, and I will leave the city gate to you to repair! However, this city is my city, and repairing the city The money at the gate can only be assured if I guard it, what do you say, my acting city lord."
Larry Brown smiled slightly, and thought: Don't you mean to give you money?Sure enough, it was the same as the legend said, money was needed to death!However, it's just money!Trifle!He said: "That's natural, the money for repairing the city gate will be sent to the Duke by the lower officials!"
"No, no, no...you don't understand!" Li Xie said: "You can take your time to repair the city gate, but the duke wants to see the money now! As the saying goes, bad things don't go out, good things spread thousands of miles, You must have heard of the duke’s good reputation for being rich, but I don’t know if you have heard that if the duke can’t see the gold coins, he likes to kill people?”
Larry Brown narrowed his eyes, he was indeed a person who dared to kill in court!Then he smiled: "My lord, how much does it cost to repair this city gate?"
The corner of Li Xie's right mouth curled up: "It's not much, just 1000 million. The duke thinks the wooden door is not heroic, so a golden door needs to be built. 1000 million should be enough!"
1000 gold coins? !
Larry Brown twitched his eyebrows. Before he could speak, the person next to him said in a strange tone, "1000 million gold coins? Could it be that the Evil Duke was born of a robber?"
Li Xie looked away and clasped his fists together: "What's your name? I didn't remember it just now."
"Your Majesty, Viscount Howson; Herman, Patrol Secretary!" Herman said coldly, looking at him, he felt quite disdain for Li Xie!Obviously, he is not as well-informed as Larry Brown or the high-level executives in Chrysanthemum City. He only knows that Li Xie is the Duke, but he doesn't know who Li Xie is!
"It turned out to be the Patrolling Department..." Li Xie said with a smile: "Fan Di, someone has slandered me as a robber. According to the law, how should I deal with it?"
"My lord, according to..."
"Death!" Fan Di; Before Searle finished speaking, Zeenard gave Li Xie the most concise answer!
"Oh, it seems that our Zeen is more familiar with the law, so let's execute our Patrol Secretary on the spot. Fan Di, do it!" Li Xie's tone was so flat, and the smile on his face was so harmless to humans and animals!
Li Xie's personality and past experience, it seems that he shouldn't kill people so easily and casually. It seems that there is something affecting him, but he didn't realize it!The real Li Xie didn't even kill animals!
Fan Di; Searle is still hesitating, according to the law, in fact, it is only a punishment and an apology, not a crime of death!He hesitated, Zeenard rushed ahead of him again, saw a cloud of dust and smoke rising from his feet, dodged, and had already arrived in front of the inspector, and grabbed the inspector by the throat under the astonishment of everyone , Twisted hard, only heard a sound of gada, the poor inspector had already broken his neck!
When he fell limply to the ground, Zeenard had already returned to Li Xie, and said coldly: "Kill, let me do it!"
At this time, Larry Brown just recovered from his astonishment, looked at Li Xie in horror, and took a step back instinctively!
Say kill, kill!
How can such a person be provoked?
There were only two people standing in place, one was Larry; Brown, and the other was standing right next to Larry; beside Brown was a man with an ordinary face but sharp eyes, who seemed to be Reddy; what Gaga said , Lasenberg, the eighth-level summoner in the Civil Guard, perhaps, only the eighth-level summoner can be so calm!
Larry Brown's face was gloomy, his eyes flashed, and he had some thoughts in his heart: this man is really like the legend, who kills people when he disagrees with him!And besides him is not only Fan Di; Searle is a master, but also the tattooed man!Should I continue with the previous arrangement?Or reevaluate?No!He must be killing chickens to scare monkeys, taking the opportunity to show his prestige!If I am afraid to obey now, the initiative is in his hands. The gang of nobles in Chrysanthemum City are all fools, and I am afraid they will also turn to attach themselves to him!Never!That's right!He must kill people to gain power, but he will never kill wantonly. He is greedy for money and will not want an abandoned city!
Thinking of this, Larry Brown chuckled: "Your Excellency, act vigorously and resolutely, and I will bow down to you! This person slandered Your Excellency, he really deserves to die, if he dies, he will die, come here, clear up the body!"
Speaking, Larry Brown took out a crystal card from the interspatial ring, and continued: "My lord, this is 1000 million, please accept it, and use it to repair the city gate."
Um?so calm?
Li Xie was slightly surprised, and glanced at Larry Brown again. The black crystal card in Brown's hand was the highest-grade crystal card with a storage limit of 1000 million gold coins. The fat and water are far beyond Li Xie's imagination!
In this way, Li Xie had a new calculation, and smiled: "The duke suddenly has a new idea. I will put the 1000 million gold coins in your place for the time being! So, it is almost noon, and the duke hasn't eaten yet. You go and call all the nobles in the city, big and small, and hold a banquet to welcome the Duke, and then return the 1000 million to the Duke, how about it?"
After hearing this, Larry Brown smiled even wider, and thought to himself: Sure enough, I guessed right!This guy is greedy for money!Hmm, banquet?Don't you just want to take over all the nobles in the city!very good!Just because you are not greedy for money!You are not greedy for money, I can't deal with you yet!
"My lord, I'm really sorry." Larry Brown bowed again: "I'm busy with business, and I still need to prepare the handover documents. It seems that I don't have time at noon. However, I have a dinner at night, at eight o'clock in the evening. , Your Majesty is waiting for Your Excellency at the City Lord's Mansion."
"Dinner party? Yes!" Li Xie didn't care.
"I have something to do, please leave first. Your Excellency, please do your own thing." Larry Brown waved his hand, and all the people on his side shrank into the city, and there was no one left to entertain Li Xie!
The rumbling sound of the city gate collapsing was particularly ear-piercing in the tranquility of the morning, and immediately attracted a group of guards.
There were 30 guards in this team, holding long guns, wearing gray cloth clothes, with the symbol of crossed swords embroidered on the left chest, it seems to be Larry; Brown's civil guard.
