"Sir William!"
The count's wife, Madame Amaris, spoke with a thick, greasy voice, as sweet as cheese and honey: "no! Perhaps I should call you Baron William... We've met several times at the count's party! "
"The countess must have known the sad news, and I hope she will have mercy!"
Wu Ming apologized: "fortunately, it's very gratifying that my wife escaped from the castle."
There was a doubt in his mind all the time.
When the vicomte of eagleburg rebelled and the highland Knights planned to attack suddenly, the countess was able to escape smoothly. Not only did she escape smoothly, but she even took several children with her, and successfully escaped the subsequent arrest. It's really incredible.
But if the countess is a sorceress with magic, and the master of the whole underground black market, then it's all right.
"Does the countess know about Madame?"
After a silence, Wu Ming suddenly asked.
"What's the matter?"
Mrs. Emmanuel giggled and looked at Wu Ming like the eyes of the moon at night: "it's about witches? Or the underground black market? "
"Madame admits it?"
Speculation confirmed that Wu Ming's face became solemn.
A witch, plus the master of the black market, basically controls half of Wuthering City, which is enough to cause a little trouble for herself.
Of course, the other party's presence here tonight is a sign of being soft hearted and looking for the possibility of cooperation.
It's just that we need to test each other about the bottom line.
"Yes, the operation of the underground black market is really related to me!"
"The count was not aware of all these things, including my witch status," admitted Madame Emmanuel
"Poor count of blue mountain..."
Wu Ming felt a moment of silence for his former Fengjun: "Madam didn't go to find the grand master family and the Viscount of Yingbao, but she came to find me. I don't know what she asked for?"
Emmarice hesitated.
Originally, even though Sir William was a very powerful warrior, she was sure that with her own charm and some inherited magic, she could make him submit to her own fate.
But now, when she saw each other, she knew that everything was impossible.
"I come on behalf of the businessmen. Your curfew and other decrees have greatly damaged their interests!"
A moment later, the lady said in a deep voice.
"I protect all legitimate business activities as long as they pay their taxes
Wu Ming replied with a smile.
"You're going to reach for the black market?"
Emma Reese's pupils narrowed slightly, but it was reasonable. She quickly weighed the pros and cons, and put forward several conditions: "then... You must guarantee the power of all black market merchants, the right of passage of dark mercenaries, and..."
"Wait a minute!"
Wu Ming looked at the woman who had made an inch: "I'm talking about 'legal'!"
He specially accentuated the tone of the last two words: "all acts in the black market must comply with my laws. If you don't understand, madam, you can go to Carlos and have a look!"
"Do you want to go to war?"
Emma Liz's face turned rather ugly.
She naturally heard what Carlos had done. The number of free people over there made her astonished, not to mention the activities of emancipating serfs. After carefully understanding Wu Ming's policies, she almost thought that Wu Ming was a saint and was ready to abolish slavery completely.
Half step ahead of the times is genius, one step is madman!
Of course, Wu Ming knew how to handle the problem. He didn't make drastic reforms at the beginning. Even if the serfs were liberated, it was on the condition of redemption. There were only a few people who could immediately raise enough money to redeem their shares of land.
Moreover, it did not abolish slaves completely, but imposed heavy taxes on the merchants who kept a large number of slaves to guide them to a certain extent.
Even so, in the windfly plain, Carlos collar had already been known as the "city of freedom" and attracted the yearning of many serfs and slaves.
"If you enforce Carlos's law, it will not be regarded as a provocation by black market businessmen."
In order to protect the interests of the black market, the countess said coldly.
"If you say yes, it is!"
Wu Ming didn't let go. There seemed to be a golden light in her pupils. At the next moment, Emma LISS was excited and surrounded by powerful death omens, just like she was surrounded by a group of dragons.
Her face turned white and she could not help but silence.
After a long time, Emma LISS answered bitterly, "I am good at astrology, and have a little power to see through the fog of the future... In you, I don't see the possibility of failure!"
"If only you could understand that!"
Compromise does not mean that there is no bottom line of concession, once the other party is stubborn, Wu Ming does not mind spending effort to uproot the whole black market!
With his perception, the increase in the perception of the power of the people, and the black market position he knew last time, the other side had little resistance at all.
Although the subsequent retaliation may cause trouble, it is also the problem of the night watchman.
At the beginning, they plundered from these black market merchants. The wealth they had accumulated for many years was enough for a short time.
However, the witch had a little power of prophecy, which surprised Wu slightly.
"It's a pity that... If you can see the destiny with the real great prophecy, you little witch can peep at it..."
The real prophecy should be to see the trend of the world and master the destiny, at least with the world status.
Other astrology, crystal prophecy and so on, are not only full of fog. If you don't want to let her see Wu Ming's great power, you can't see it at all. You can even deliberately release a false future and fascinate the prophet.
As a result, most of these forecasters are not happy to die, and many of them are schizophrenic and become insane.
Emma Liz bit her juicy red lips and seemed to hesitate to weigh the pros and cons. At last, she glanced at the dragon heart sword hanging around Wu Ming's waist and finally made a decision: "you can get what you want, but you must follow my one condition, the only condition!"
"Go ahead, please
Wu Ming was noncommittal.
"I have a daughter, ADA, who is sixteen years old!"
Alice looked Wu Ming in the eyes: "I want you to marry her and be your wife!"
"If you do that! I promise you that all the black market businessmen will spare no effort to support you in the final victory of the war, and there are other benefits you can't imagine! "
Her voice was enchanting, like nerve paralyzing poison: "I can tell you that the count's eldest son has died with him, and several sons have died in the war. If you marry little ADA, you can inherit the count's title!"
Wu Ming couldn't help squinting: "this woman..."
As the third lady of the count, Emmanuel did not have a son, only a few daughters, and I do not know whether it was related to the witch's blood.
It was an accident that the count's eldest son died in the war, but several common sons and young sons died together in the war. Only the countess escaped with her own daughter. What a coincidence?
If you think about the seemingly normal death of the count's former wife
Wu Ming felt that the beautiful witch in front of him had changed, like a honey wrapped with poison.
"Our count of Warcraft, I'm not the only son-in-law!"
However, Wu Ming will not refuse the benefits.
As soon as he used the Longxin sword and pretended to be blue blood, he had the idea of integrating the power of the blue blood princes in Fengying plain.
In order to achieve this goal, he had to marry a noble daughter with a high family and pure blood.
There is no doubt that the daughter of the Earl of blue mountain is most satisfied with this request!
"Cluck..."
Seeing that Baron William agreed, Emmanuel's face was full of excitement: "how can the count's other sons-in-law be your opponent?"
Her eyes were shining, and it was obvious that she was a woman with a strong desire for power.
Wu Ming was on guard, and immediately smile: "I have no problem... You can have a rest here for one night, and then go to pick up your ladies tomorrow. I will announce to the public that I have found you from Wuthering city and will be engaged to miss ADA!"
"A night off? Of course
Emma Reese was stunned, and a charming smile appeared on her face
……
Boom! Boom! Boom!
A few days later, on Wuthering City, more than ten wooden guns roared.
The huge iron bullet hit the center of the army. Under the terrible impact, even if the knight was hit head-on, it could only become a meat pie.
The wooden cannons filled with scrap iron, nails and so on are more powerful weapons against ordinary infantry.
Their cloth armor and leather armor can't stop such a divergent attack at all. In the fan-shaped attack range of Huahua bomb, they almost fall into a large area.
"No, we have to withdraw!"
In the center of the square array, viscount Garcia was riding on his horse. Looking at this scene and the blue tiger flag on Wuthering City, he said sadly.
After the coalition, he had less than 5000 men, among whom Sir Smith was quite rebellious and disobedient.
There are four thousand soldiers on the opposite side of Baron William! And there's the advantage of guarding the city, and there's such a terrible weapon.
"Retreat? Why retreat? "
Sure enough, with an order, the infantry retreated like a tide, while Sir Smith came to him angrily: "have you forgotten the mission of the family?"
"Pay attention to your words, sir Smith!"
Garcia's face was cold: "Baron William is no less powerful than us, and you see... There are militia on the top of the city! What does that mean? It means that he has won the support of the whole Wuthering city! Even if only one tenth of the citizens are willing to fight for him, we have to face tens of thousands of people! "
