After closing the door, Katia realized that her back was wet with cold sweat.
This woman is really murderous.
Of course he was not happy about giving Black Mountain City to the Phoenix Kingdom for nothing, but the general trend was that after it took off, it was trapped in a small cage and could not attract outside help. Heishui also surrendered first. If he didn't surrender, the city would be destroyed and people would die.
He just thought it was a joke that the Phoenix King didn't like to attack.
The demons in the northeast are making a lot of noise now. The surrounding lords can see it. The Phoenix City is not far from the edge of the humid forest. There has been nothing for so long. It doesn't like to attack. It just can't be conquered. Take action!
To save one's life, one only needs to run away. The main purpose of offering the city is to save one's wealth.
But even such small requirements cannot be met.
According to the conditions given by the Phoenix Kingdom’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs in the last round of negotiations, the city lord’s palace must be handed over, the lord’s army will be disbanded on the spot, and some of those who serve in prisons will be directly transferred to the city defense army system. Agricultural land will be converted into money based on fertility and area, and the facade will be unconditionally recovered. Precious metals, gems, antiques and other movable private property can be kept by oneself. Private residences can be kept in two places and the rest can be exchanged for money.
After much calculation, his family fortune would be reduced by half, so he put it off.
As soon as the steam burst out, people began to flee in large numbers from the city, and the heat began to kill them. At that time, he jumped in without much hesitation.
It's not that his consciousness is very high, but Katia knows that her biggest bargaining chip is the population of Montenegro City. If the population is gone, she will be defined as a bandit anytime and anywhere. That will not protect the family property, but her life will be in question.
And at this time, he had other considerations.
He can't solve the difficulties faced by the floating island, and the Phoenix Kingdom must be in trouble. If he can laugh at it and leave a seed in the hearts of the citizens, when they encounter other difficulties and can't care about it, they may have a chance to turn around.
But what happened next was worse for him.
Distribute free food to everyone in the city and prohibit working outside!
After living for nearly a hundred years, this was the first time I saw Katia, and I had never even heard of it before.
Don't look at that woman scolding and calling for trouble here and there every day. In fact, as time goes by, more and more citizens have taken the initiative to cooperate with their work. The poor cooperation is just because the idiots are not smart.
In just ten days of disaster relief operations, they have regained a large number of people's hearts and minds, and the chance of a comeback is slim.
So the day before it rained, when the temperature had just entered the cooling period, when I was gathering with a few large households, I complained a few words. Unexpectedly, it led to what happened today.
Katya knew some rumors about Li Xiang and had met him several times in the past few days.
His known identity is that of the Phoenix King's plenipotentiary envoy, who has led a team to carry out anti-bandit operations. Other information is unknown. Now it seems that he is still very murderous.
Of course, the murderous intent is invisible and intangible, but based on several short meetings, it can be noticed that she is not good at dealing with people. Maybe she really feels that she has murderous intentions just by staring at her back.
In fact, there really isn't. Except for that bitch Audrey and Doc from Blackwater, other lords here rarely take action on their own, because they are not as strong as these two. Once they take action, too much information will be exposed. There may be misfortune waiting ahead.
Now that Katia has relieved herself of the burden of being a lord, she has much less scruples, but she doesn't immediately think of killing someone.
He was so frightened by the woman that he broke into a cold sweat, and he really considered whether he could kill her.
He immediately made himself laugh and smiled bitterly.
So what if we could manage to kill the envoy? If he disobeys the Phoenix King, he doesn't know how high the reward will be on his head. He is the sixth ring and not a god, so how can he guard against those more advanced guys all his life.
It is true that the characters of the Seventh Ring are not very likely to participate in the bounty, but that is not necessarily the case if the price is high enough. For example, that bitch Audrey heard that she was interested in marrying the Phoenix King, but was rejected. This kind of ruined guy might feel that she His head is also a bargaining chip.
Besides, this woman's body movements didn't seem to be at all afraid of him attacking from behind. She had no idea of her strength, and he really didn't have the confidence to take it down.
Maybe it was a bluff, maybe not. In short, the other party didn't intend to touch him directly, and he didn't intend to ask for trouble. It was good to just break up like this.
If I don’t become a lord anymore, will I just sit back and have nothing in the future?
Better do something.
Katya went to the window.
This is the third floor, and it is at a relatively high location in the city. The rain outside has not stopped, but it is much smaller than the previous two days. The water flowing down the eaves can no longer form a line, and the water levels in some waterlogging spots are Also stopped the upward trend.
The disaster caused by the latest earthquake has passed, the Phoenix Kingdom has gained the support of the people, and it has lost its city.
Who else is as miserable as him?
...If you think about it carefully, there seem to be two.
One is from a small mountain town between Red Rock and Wind Valley... This one doesn't seem to count, because the small mountain town is a group that forms a stronghold to protect itself. Although it has a lord in name, it doesn't have as much power as a normal lord. I heard that it also got shares.
There is also Lord Pettus. I don’t know where he has gone now. He may be dead.
As for the other lords who submitted to the Phoenix Kingdom, each has some benefits.
What have you been trying to do until now?
"Huh... think on the bright side, at least two more years of tax have been collected." He had to comfort himself.
I watched the rain from the window for a long time. From time to time, people were organized by administrative staff to move around in the rain.
"Huh?" He suddenly noticed that there were no patches on the trouser legs under the turtle-shell raincoat made of straw.
Looking at it again, everyone has trouser legs?
Hiding money secretly?
No, it should have been issued by the Phoenix Kingdom.
Regarding the fact that when people from the Phoenix Kingdom came, not everyone had clothes to wear, he didn't think there was any problem at all, because it was like this in many places, especially when food production was reduced after the big collision, these people should be given food if they could survive until now. He should build a few statues.
But now things seem to be getting better for Fu Min, and he feels as if he has lost some flesh.
He quickly called the steward: "Have their people lost their clothes?"
It doesn’t have to be clear who “they” refers to.
The manager nodded: "Yes, it has been raining for a few days, but the rain is heavy, and I am afraid that my clothes will be stained. The temperature is probably a bit low today, or they put them on under force."
"Has our family received it?"
"Uh... I'll send someone right away."
"Well, remember, everyone has to get it."
"yes!"
The steward went out, and Katia continued to look out the window: "What will I do if I have no income in the future?"
A man who couldn't hold in his farts stood by the window for most of the day. He still couldn't figure out what kind of business he was suitable for, but he had an idea.
If you really can't wait until the floating island becomes a floating island, then you can find a floating island farther away from the Phoenix Kingdom and grab a weaker leader to replace it.
But can those places really withstand the invasion of demons?
I was a little unsure, so I decided to wait and see. If I don’t have any income this year, I’ll just treat it as the death of one more wife.
