The main palace of Lane City.
In the city lord's office, Abdullah VIII Shuke sat on the main seat with a pale face, and two generals stood on the left and right.
It was Xu Yunyan and Norton who were wearing armor and were extremely majestic.
Xu Yunyan shook his head and looked at Tucker who was kneeling and crying and wailing below, and spread his hands helplessly.
Norton also looked at Tucker and gritted his teeth with hatred.
"Tucker, Tucker, I didn't expect that you would betray the trust of the eldest son. The city lord has put the most wealth in Lane City into your hands. Look at what you have done? Are you still called a human being?"
Norton looked at Tucker and said fiercely, but Tucker looked here and there as if he didn't care, and finally had no choice but to say.
"You say I did something wrong every day, but what can I do? His Majesty the King has said that you are of the same bloodline as him. He feels that you are a threat to his existence, so he ordered me to solve it for you. What can I do? The solution? After all, we are His Majesty the King, and we are just ordinary people in Lane City."
Tucker was still looking for a chance to survive for himself, and kept defending.
However, Tucker couldn't help but defend himself, and Shuke still looked at him with a very ugly face, wanting to step forward and strangle him to death.
"Then you really have to listen to His Majesty the King. Don't forget that you are also a member of Lane City. What we are doing now is to make Lane City live a good life.
But what about you? You actually want to find a foreign race to attack Lane City and kill me. Is there anyone who would do this?
Have you not considered how many of your relatives there are in Lane City? How many of them grew up with you?
Do you have the heart to let this alien race come to attack Lane City? You're kidding me, but what about them? What if they also die on the battlefield during the alien attack you arranged this time?
Who can tell clearly how the aliens will do it? "
Tucker didn't know what to say for a moment, but looking at Shuke in front of him, he could only cry and cry to gain some sympathy for himself, while Xu Yunyan looked at Tucker and spoke again. .
"Tucker, stop making excuses. Do you want to tell the truth?"
After Xu Yunyan said these words, Tucker was frightened and he spoke hurriedly.
"My lord, please forgive me, what I have always told is the truth!"
Although Tucker begged Shuke for mercy, Xu Yunyan snorted coldly.
"Yeah?"
Xu Yunyan looked at Shu Ke again, "Mr. City Lord, did you arrange to escort him to the capital?"
Shu Ke was stunned for a moment without knowing why, but he nodded anyway.
"Before I became the city lord, I did arrange for him to be escorted to the capital just to be on the safe side. Did something happen?"
"Why don't you, Lord City Lord, call them all over and see what they say?"
Shu Ke was surprised at this moment. "They are all selected by me from noble families and can obey my orders. Do they also have problems?"
Shuke was shocked, but Norton did look at Shuke and shook his head.
"Lord City Lord, it's not that we don't believe what the Lord City Lord says, but does the Lord City Lord take it too much for granted?"
This time Shuke was even more unable to react.
"I take it for granted. Why do I take it for granted? Is there anything I think is too ideal?"
Shuke stared blankly at Tucker in front of him, but Tucker was talking.
"Lord City Lord, although people are selected, they may not be able to be used by Lord City Lord! What do they think? How do they do it? It takes time to see people's hearts. Can Lord City Lord not think that you have selected them? They will obey your orders!"
Norton's words made Shu Ke a little confused for a moment, but he finally gritted his teeth and started talking.
"But I think they are obeying my orders. Just like in the beginning, when I formed a team of a hundred people, they were the only ones who obeyed me.
It's fate, and even if I fight to the last person, I won't have any complaints, and I won't feel sorry for them. "
Shuke defended himself, but what he didn't notice was that a trace of fear flashed in Tucker's eyes after he finished speaking.
"The Lord of the City is right. These people are all serving the Lord of the City. How could they have any different intentions?"
But Tucker's words once again caught Xu Yunyan's attention, and Xu Yunyan looked at him and said in a strange tone.
"What you said is very simple."
This light sentence frightened Tucker. Tucker couldn't help trembling and looked at Xu Yunyan with anxiety.
"What I said is true, what I said is true!"
Xu Yunyan laughed at this, "Why did you keep buying them with dinars when I heard they were escorting you? You were quite generous, buying them with handfuls of gold dinars, so that They obey you and whatever you say is what they say.
In order to become the city lord of Lane City, you actually dared to go to the grassland to contact the tribes on the grassland. You just didn't expect that the first tribe you encountered was my tribe, right? "
When Xu Yunyan said this, Tucker's expression changed drastically, and he wanted to find an excuse to defend himself, but Xu Yunyan didn't give him a chance at all, and continued talking in front of him.
"It's just that things didn't seem as simple as you thought after you came to my tribe. You also discovered me, so you come to my tribe every day and ask me what else I need? I don't need anything. After that, you left my tribe again, is that what happened?"
Tucker couldn't help but shuddered again when he saw that Xu Yunyan's separation of things was clear and correct.
"I……"
But just when Tucker was about to defend himself in front of Xu Yunyan again and restore his image even a little bit, so as not to let City Lord Lane really deal with him, Xu Yunyan looked at Tucker and said again.
"The most important thing is that since Edward VII is the brother of the former city lord, and he also knows about the city lord, according to what the city lord said before his death and the city lord's behavior when he was young, he should not be such a heartless person. How could it be possible for you to take over the position of Lord of Lane City? The first condition is for you to solve the Lane family. This is a doubtful point, a very important one."
After Xu Yunyan finished speaking, Tucker finally gave up and looked at Xu Yunyan speaking with great resentment.
"You have considered everything carefully, so what else do you have to make things difficult for me?"
As soon as Tucker finished speaking, Xu Yunyan shook his head again and sighed.
"Why do you always think that we are going to make things difficult for you every time you think about this, instead of thinking about what you did wrong to make us target you like this?"
What Xu Yunyan said made Tucker tremble again.
"Impossible, this is absolutely impossible. It's you, it's you who want to do these ridiculous things, forcing us to have no way to go to heaven and no way to go to earth. We are also helpless. Why are you powerful people in charge of the world's major events? Those of us at the bottom have never had a chance to rise? I can only rely on you. I don’t accept it! I want to deal with you, I want to snatch all your good things, and I want my relatives to live like you. Comfortable days when you have clothes to wear and food to eat.”
Tucker was finally not afraid anymore and spoke his thoughts in front of everyone regardless. As Tucker kept showing off his abilities, Xu Yunyan looked at Shuke and waited for Shuke's explanation. When Shuke saw Tucker shouting so crazily, he couldn't help but turn his head and look at his master.
"Master, I think what Tucker said is also interesting. Why must we be destined to be born nobles? And they are destined to serve us. What Tucker said also makes sense."
Seeing that Shu Ke could think like this, Xu Yunyan smiled happily, then looked at Shu Ke and started talking.
"Actually, the Lord of the City can be meritocratic. As long as he has the ability, he can use it without considering his origin. Will considering his identity bring trouble to himself? As long as you don't trust the people you use, and you don't use the people you doubt, you can use them for their talents.
With just one try, you can completely control Lane City in your own hands. This is the key to the prosperity of a country.
If the old aristocrats are always used to control all the resources, some truly talented people may be left behind. Of course, this is my personal opinion. You should consider it yourself, your lord. . "
After Xu Yunyan finished speaking, Norton also looked at Xu Yunyan and nodded.
"The general is right. I am an ordinary person. I got to my current position just because I dared to fight and fight on the battlefield. Just like the old city lord, I got my current position with my passion. I firmly believe in what the general said."
Shuke did not expect that his master and the general standing next to him, the most central general left by his father, supported this, and then smiled happily.
"Since you can bring this up, you must have seen it a lot. Why didn't you say it in front of me earlier?"
But as soon as Shuke finished speaking, Shuke suddenly changed the subject.
"One more thing, Tucker doesn't care whether you are talented or not, whether you do what you say or not, but you should never ignore the people of Rhine City.
Even if you really want to be the city lord of Lane City. As long as you treat the people of Lane City well, it's not that I can't let go of Lane City, I just don't want them to suffer. "
After Shuke said these words, Tucker still looked at him gloomily.
"Impossible! How can you nobles who enjoy themselves give up the rights you have obtained so easily? This is impossible. You can't even think of lying to me.
Don’t I know you guys yet? What you say now is just to cover up your dirty thoughts. "
Tucker still didn't understand and kept shouting in front of everyone, but Shuke saw that he had no choice but to lower his head.
When he raised his head again, a strong light flashed in his eyes.
"Since you don't believe it, I have no way to make you believe it. If you are so frantic and want to threaten the lives of the people of Lane City, it is impossible for me to let you be the city lord of Lane City again.
Even if your order is true, I don't believe that the king that my father likes to be his brother will be such a cold-blooded existence. Instead, it should be the good deeds that you bring money to the capital to do casually. ? In this case, I will leave you alone. "
However, Shuke looked at Tucker and seemed to hesitate when he finished speaking, and Shuke continued to speak without giving Xu Yunyan a chance to speak.
"But one thing you can pay attention to is that I will only hold you accountable. I will not hold any of your relatives or your friends accountable. Of course, I will not hold them accountable if they will not do anything wrong again. Yes, if they are making trouble and doing unforgivable things like you, even if I want to forgive them, the entire Lane City will not be able to keep them."
