A Guide to Deadly Heroines

Chapter 45: The Four Dukes

Chapter 45

As a modern person, especially living in a peaceful country, Yawen was very disgusted with this kind of slave trading.

"Huh?" Lilith became interested in an instant. As a summoner, she also has the problem of collecting similar to her daughter.

"Can you tell me what it is?" Lilith asked.

The smile on the fat uncle's face became more and more wonderful: "Master Duke, you know the rules of the auction, I can't reveal it!"

After all, this thing is a heartbeat!
"Okay, I will take my daughter there tomorrow night, remember to prepare a private room for me!" Lilith said.

"Thank you, Lord Duke!" The fat uncle smiled even more happily: "My lord Duke, this year's..."

As he said that, the fat uncle blinked his eyes lightly, and Lilith waved his hand casually. The fat uncle hastily asked people to move into several large boxes. When he called the boxes, he found that they were all filled with golden gold coins. Roughly estimated, at least There are 30 million!

"Thank you, Duke! The little one will step down now!" said the fat uncle.

After the fat man left, Yawen asked suspiciously, "Why does he give so much money to others?"

Lilith grabbed a handful of gold coins casually, and said indifferently: "You think these gold coins are given away for nothing? If he wants to do business in the Kara Empire, he must have a big backer. It can't be solved by using it to support the facade at critical moments." For the matter, our family is his big backer! This little money, haha!"

Just like what Lilith said, if there is no big backer, this kind of businessman with money but no power may be blackmailed in various ways at any time, and the annual loss is not only the gold coins!
But now, if there is something that cannot be resolved, the name of the Qiangwei family will be revealed directly. As long as it is within the scope of the Kara Empire, even the royal family will give him a bit of face.

After all, the prince fights as soon as he says, and there is only one such arrogant nobleman in the whole country.

After paying the money every year, the fat man can feel at ease, knowing that this year is a year of peace.
Lilith looked at the auction list in her hand thoughtfully, and suddenly said: "I have read the book Devil Code, and many spells for summoning devils in the back require the sacrifice of living people, do you want me to buy a few slaves for you? As a sacrifice?"

Yawen was taken aback. At first, she thought her mother was a decent person. However, as she got along more and more, Yawen found that Lisi was actually a person who did whatever she wanted, and she was not very decent in her heart.

"Dress me up beautifully tomorrow night. Remember, if you lose face outside, it will be my face! See if I don't tear your little mouth when I come back!" Lilith said while pinching Yavin's cheek.

Too many things happened during this period, no matter who you are, you need a buffer period, and Yawen also wants to give himself a good vacation.

the next day.

It is very troublesome for a woman to go out. Makeup, clothes, and hairstyle are all indispensable. Although Yawen is not very old now, he has already acquired the essence. He starts to dress up carefully at noon, and goes out with his mother beautifully until dusk. !
If you didn't look carefully, you would think it was a pair of sisters, but no one would believe that Lilith had such a big daughter.

The luxurious carriage had already been prepared outside, and the groom was still that old man, but the change happened at this moment. Lilith had just arrived on the carriage, and a messenger hurried over from the direction of the palace.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty has urgent matters to invite you into the palace!" the messenger said profusely.

Lilith was already ready to relax herself, how could she have thought that she would suddenly come to work at this time?The expression on his face changed all of a sudden, he was really impatient!

"What's the matter? If it's about cults, I've already sorted out the documents and will take them over tomorrow. If it's about the Holy See, then don't worry!" Lilith said coldly.

The messenger bowed his head and kept apologizing: "Your Majesty, I don't know what's going on, but I'm just very annoyed by His Majesty's appearance. It seems... It seems that something big happened in the frontier!"

Lilith's anger disappeared in an instant, she was like this, even though she was usually lawless, even the emperor couldn't control her, but when it came to an important moment, she could tell the difference between right and wrong!

"At this time, something happened in the frontier... It is most likely related to the Pendor Empire! Enter the palace immediately! Daughter, you can go to the auction alone. By the way, I will call you a little friend! Arthur!" Lilith said high shouted.

Arthur heard Lilith calling him, and hurried out to take a look, and saw the mother and daughter in costumes.

"Ah...cough mother, where are you going?" Arthur asked.

"I originally planned to go to the auction, but the situation changed. There was a sudden news from the palace that something big might happen. You can go to the auction with Yawen. If there is something interesting, buy it. Don't worry about money. !” Lilith said.

Then turn around and leave with the messenger.

……

About ten minutes later, Lilith had arrived at the palace. At this time, the king was pacing back and forth in the downwind, with no expression on his face, but a trace of anxiety could be seen in his eyes. 
"Your Majesty, the Duke has arrived!"

the messenger whispered.

Seeing Lilith approaching, the king took a deep breath, and the expression on his face softened a lot: "Come here quickly and have a look, this is a letter from the frontier at noon today!"

When Lilith opened the letter, her expression changed immediately.

Between the Pendor Empire and the Kara Empire, there is a very important pass called the Black Dragon Pass.

This pass is 47 kilometers long, and it is a heavily guarded fortress, but at noon today, the Pendor Empire silently gathered more than [-] troops under the Black Dragon Pass, and made an attack appearance!
Although there was no fight in the end, the generals of the Black Dragon Pass were still in a cold sweat. You should send this news back to the capital as quickly as possible.

"What do you think of the matter?" asked the king.

"Are they just scaring people?" Lilith asked.

"No, originally the two countries carried out trade and cooperation in order to show friendship, but starting this afternoon, no caravans are allowed to enter or leave the Black Dragon Pass. The pass has been completely sealed, and I don't know what the other party's plan is!" the king said. Shen Sheng said.

If they fight, the Kara Empire is not afraid of the Pendor Empire, but, as a king, they really don't want to bear the burden of war. Together with swords and soldiers, life will be ruined!

I would rather be a dog in a prosperous world than a person in a troubled world!
In troubled times, human life has no value and no dignity, just like a piece of grass, who may be killed anytime, anywhere.

After 80 years of recuperation, the Kara Empire's national power has finally reached its peak. If a war is launched at this time, the loss outweighs the gain!
"Did the other party send an envoy? Or... did they make any request?" Lilith asked.

"Neither!" said the king.

At this moment, another messenger's voice came from the front, and another great nobleman arrived.

He is also a duke, but this duke is already very old, he is an old man around 80 years old, but his aura is very domineering, not arrogant.

"Your Majesty, I am late!"

The duke's title is Peony, and this old man is also called Grand Duke Peony.

He is a very ruthless character, and now the most elite army of the empire is in the hands of this old man.

Thunder heavy cavalry, can be called the most elite heavy armored cavalry in the whole continent!
"Girl, you came earlier than me!" Grand Duke Peony chuckled, but there was a sternness in the laughter: "After 80 years of peace, the Pendor Empire finally couldn't help but want to take action? I want to see Look, what kind of capital do they have to shout at us! Your Majesty, veterans please fight!"

The king kept smiling wryly in his heart, old duke, I called you all because I didn't want to fight, don't play with me like this!
"Old Duke, now that the country is peaceful and the people are at peace, if there is a fight... the consequences will be unimaginable! It's better to think about it in the long run!" Lilith said.

Unexpectedly, the old man jumped up angrily: "It's a long-term plan? It's because you procrastinate that you will damage the country's prestige. Do you want to know how to maintain peace? Kill all the enemies, and peace will come naturally! Now In this case, we should fight directly, and the Pendor Empire will cry and cry, seeing us trembling, this is the only way to have peace!"

Lilith actually agrees with this method, but it’s simple to say. As a big empire, the Pendor Empire has many soldiers and generals. Once it is fought, it is likely to become a protracted war. At that time, no one can predict the war. In what direction to go!
"Hmph! A woman just can't be a family!" The old duke gave Lilith a hard look.

With Lilith's fiery temper, which man in this world can hold her back?It was a slap on the table.

"Old man, I think you are old enough to save face, don't rely on your old age to sell your old age here, and push your nose on your face!"

"You little girl, you still talk about me in movies? If you have the ability, go straight to the battle and see who kills the most enemies! If the old man loses, I will kowtow to you and admit my mistake!"

"Fight, fight! You know how to fight all day long, can you grow your brain?"

"Little girl, how dare you say that I have no brains?"

"It's you who are talking about, come to fight if you don't accept it!"

"Come on, come on, I'm still afraid that you won't succeed!"

The king felt like his head was going to explode, why are the two of them still fighting?

"Quiet me!" The king slapped the table vigorously.

The two men glared at each other fiercely, and then snorted coldly.

"In my opinion, if things can be resolved peacefully, it's best to use peaceful means! What do you two think?" the king said.

Grand Duke Peony snorted coldly, but Lilith said: "If you want to deal with this matter peacefully, you must know what the opponent's purpose is, and gather troops under our pass silently...I'm afraid the comers are not good!"

"So what if the visitor is not kind? The old man is here, and he dares to turn the world upside down!" Grand Duke Peony said coldly.

This old man is simply a war madman. Although there has been no war between the Kara Empire and the Pendor Empire for 80 years, many small countries have often tried to challenge the authority of the Kara Empire in these years. The old duke led the cavalry Fighting in all directions, anyone who has any opinions has been trampled into meat, so that in recent years, no one dared to provoke the Kara Empire, and there was no battle to fight, but this old man was suffocated!
While they were arguing, a third duke arrived.

This is a thin man in his 40s, dressed in white with plum blossoms printed on it, which is also the imprint of their family, the Duke of Plum Blossoms.

"It seems that I'm not the latest one to come!" The Duke of Plum Blossom smiled slightly, and sat beside him in a very gentlemanly manner, "I already know the general situation. Prepare in advance. If I follow my idea, instead of waiting for the opponent to attack, why not just fight there! I led the infantry and feigned a frontal attack, and the old duke led the iron cavalry to raid his lair! After entering, slaughter the city directly, leaving no one behind! How about it? ?”

The more this man talked, the more excited he became, the corners of Lilith's mouth twitched, forgetting that he was also a war madman!
