Outworld: Rise of an Industrial Empire

Somewhere on the high ground in the territory of Ted City, a middle-aged man in a purple robe was riding a horse towards the high ground.

On the high ground, a female knight in armor was erecting on the high ground, and the purple-robed middle-aged man got off his horse after coming to the high ground, and walked towards the female knight with anticipation in his eyes.

The female knight heard a movement behind her, turned around, and the purple-robed middle-aged man was stunned when he saw the female knight's face, and his surprise was beyond words.

"Ma... Sister Mary, it's really you!"

"Cole, long time no see.

Mary smiled indifferently and got off her horse and walked over to the middle-aged man.

The middle-aged man looked at the young face in front of him, and said in a trembling voice:

"It's been almost forty years... You're still as beautiful as ever, and I'm old. As

he spoke, he touched the beard on his chin.

Mary smiled, looked the middle-aged man up and down, and said with a smile:

"But you are now the chief prime minister, and your power is monstrous!" "

Harm, senior sister, don't tease me, the prime minister of the mortal empire is just a prime minister, it's not worth mentioning.... Hey, Senior Sister, why did you come to Xizhou?"

"I came with my master. Hearing

this, the middle-aged man was stunned for a moment, and plucked his ears in shock, thinking that he had heard it wrong.

"Lord... Master, you..."

"It's the princess of the Ash Empire, Hexi Ash. Hearing

that it was a member of the royal family, the middle-aged man breathed a sigh of relief.

"Oh yes, you've joined the Royal Guard, hey... But why haven't I heard of this princess?"

said Mary, patting the beard on the middle-aged man's chin

, "You've been away from Zhongzhou for decades, and of course you haven't heard of it, she's only 25 years old." "

Yes, the vicissitudes of life, I don't know anything about Zhongzhou. The

middle-aged man touched his chin, shook his head and sighed. Then he asked

, "Then why did she come to Xizhou as a princess?"

Mary shook her head and said

, "I don't know, it seems that she has severed ties with the royal family of the Ash Empire, by the way, why did you come here in person?"

I have long heard that you have come to Xizhou, senior sister, and the approximate location is in the central and western regions, this time there was an accident in Tide City, the following report said that there are magicians who can spell, although there are tens of thousands of magicians in Zhongzhou, but there are only a handful of estimates who can really spell, I guess it may have something to do with you, so I came over.

As he spoke, the middle-aged man took out a letter, opened

it and said, "Then as soon as I came, I received your letter, and your handwriting is much better than before, haha! Senior sister, is there anything you need my help with?"

"Ah, of course that's fine. "

By the way, Her Royal Highness the Princess is now allegiance to the lord of Su Xincheng, Su Zheng..."

Ah, okay, I see!"

The middle-aged man was a little shocked, but then he knew he shouldn't have asked.

.

.

Three days later, in Su Xincheng, Su Zheng's room, two maids sorted out the purple robes for Su Zheng.

This is the most popular formal clothing in this world, purple looks noble and atmospheric, and the magician's robe is popular among the magicians in Zhongzhou.

After tidying up the clothes, Su Zheng walked out of the room, and Chris and Lei Ming were already waiting outside.

Su Zheng waved his hand and walked out with the two of them.

The heavily armed Lei Ming said to Su Zheng:

"Your Highness, a large number of grenades have been transported to the garrison of the territory of Tide City, which is only less than 3 kilometers away from the city-state, and it only takes half an hour for the rapid march to arrive.

"As a last resort, we try to avoid direct conflict with the Imperial Court. Although

Su Zheng didn't understand why the prime minister came in person, the prime minister was the actual ruler of the empire, and he couldn't be offended in any way.

Regardless of why the prime minister came in person, Su Zheng had to go to Teide City. Moreover, the prime minister of the empire came over in person, Su Zheng still had to be more restrained, as long as he did not move his original interests, Su Zheng could accept it, as long as he did not cut himself down, Su Zheng would not go against the imperial court.

"Chris, I heard that the surrounding city-states have sent people?"

"Yes, they all want to see which way the wind blows, to see if they can get a piece of the pie."

Su Zheng smiled helplessly:

"We are in this whirlpool, lest we avoid it, they can be better, thinking of intervening."

"The prime minister should not embarrass us, and the prime minister came with a dozen .....guards this time."

.

Su Zheng only took He Jing into Ted City, and Lei Ming stayed in the garrison.

When he came to the Lord's Mansion of Tide City, Su Zheng saw the exquisitely equipped royal guards.

"Hey, this armor is gold-plated! it's a royal guard, and it's all a viscount.

Su Zheng sighed with emotion, and He Jing sneered:

"Your imperial royal guards in Xizhou all like to use gold to set off their dignity, but they are all useless. "

.

The guards at the gate of the City Lord's Mansion saw Su Zheng and a few people, and when they saw Su Zheng's decoration and the medal on his chest, the guards bowed their heads slightly to Su Zheng, and then walked up and asked,

"Are you Count Su Zheng?"

"Yes."

"Please come with me, the Prime Minister will be waiting for you." The

guards brought Su Zheng into the City Lord's Mansion, He Jing stayed in the courtyard, and Su Zheng was taken to the council hall.

There were several people in the chamber who were talking to each other, all dressed in ornate robes and all wearing viscount medals on their chests.

Seeing someone coming in, everyone's eyes looked at the door, and after seeing the medal on Su Zheng's chest, several people bowed their heads slightly to Su Zheng and saluted:

"Lord Su!" "

Lord Earl!"

Su Zheng looked around and found an acquaintance at a glance, Captain Wu Cheng of Meilin City.

Captain Wu Cheng was dressed in black, holding the Count's Medal in both hands, and the medal had an additional base wrapped in black cloth.

Seeing this, Su Zheng asked with some surprise:

"Hey, Wu Chengwei, what's going on?" "

Our city lord..... Didn't hold on, last night..."

Wu Chengwei shook his head and said no more.

Hearing this, Su Zheng was a little surprised, it seems that he has succeeded in watching the tiger fight, and the two city lords are dead!

It's a pity that the prime minister has been killed, otherwise if he is just a cabinet minister who goes through the process, then he can completely take the two cities of Ted and Merlin into his pocket.

"Your Excellency Prime Minister has arrived!"

shouted the guards at the gate, and everyone immediately stood respectfully and saluted the Prime Minister.

The Prime Minister sat down on the main chair in the chamber and said straight to the point:

"I have found out the situation and made a decision. "

Ah!"

everyone looked at each other, amazed at how directly the Prime Minister had made his decision.

It stands to reason that this first summoning should be to ask them about the situation that the surrounding city-states want to report, which is actually equivalent to asking everyone to stand in line and share their interests tactfully.

What follows is a visit and investigation that lasts at least half a month, which is actually a private discussion of the division of interests alone or jointly, and when the final situation is ascertained and a decision is made, it is the final division of interests.

This time, not only did the prime minister come in person, but he also made a decision just three days after he arrived, and he didn't even ask about everyone's situation, which surprised everyone.
