Black Knight From Blue Star

Chapter 129 Private Meeting with a Lady

 After being choked by Hardy, the middle-aged lord no longer wanted to speak.

 He did not even say that he would send troops or donate money.

Although Mrs. Sissi didn’t say anything at the scene, she remembered the incident in her heart.

From now on, this lord will be ostracized by the Jeanna family. As for which family he will fall into, Mrs. Sissi doesn't care.

 Soon, the data statistics were completed.

After Mrs. Sissi looked at the number on it for a while, she handed it to Hardy and asked, "What do you think?"

She thought there was nothing wrong with asking Hadi, but in the eyes of other lords, it was very problematic.

At this time, the expressions of the dozen or so lords present had different expressions.

 Some are solemn, thoughtful, and some smile obscenely.

 Everyone has a subtle difference in their views on this action.

　　Hardy took the paper, read it for a while, combined it with his experience before rebirth, shook his head slightly and said: "There are too many militiamen, not enough elite soldiers, and insufficient logistics resources."

 The expressions of the lords present changed again.

Hadi handed the paper to the lord next to him and said, "Please take a look at it and pass it on."

Soon the paper was turned around in everyone's hands, and finally returned to Mrs. Sissi's hands.

She shook her head helplessly: "I also agree with Hadi. There are too many militias, and there are too few funds available for logistics."

 After saying that, she put down the paper and looked at the lords around her.

 Many of these lords pretended that nothing happened and did not look at her.

 Only a few people were listening to her.

 At this time, the situation has become very clear. A large number of people just want to "take advantage" of their military exploits and take advantage of the spoils afterwards.

 The militiamen sent over did not feel sad even after they died, and they could just help their territory and reduce the population pressure.

"We don't need too many militiamen." Mrs. Sissi sighed and said, "We have to travel long distances to fight in foreign countries. A small number of militiamen can be used as logistics troops, but now the number of militiamen accounts for more than 60%. We are How to gain an advantage on the frontal battlefield?”

　　"It's enough to have a black knight leading them." The lord who had been unhappy with Hardy before laughed and said, "Isn't there a proverb that sheep led by lions are better than lions led by sheep."

 Everyone’s eyes fell on Hadi.

Hadi smiled lightly and said: "A miser who is neither willing to send troops nor pay money has no right to speak."

 Everyone laughed, including Madam Sissi, who turned her head and covered her mouth.

 “You!” The man slammed the table: “It seems I am no longer welcome in this place.”

 He glared at Madam Sissi, trying to put some pressure on her.

Under this kind of oppression, Madam Sissi not only did not feel timid, but instead made a "please" gesture.

 In the past two hundred years or so, Jeanne's family has always given people a relatively "soft" feeling.

 Many times, the Jeanna family would be wronged secretly, but nothing would happen.

 As a result, many people feel that the Jeanna family is easy to bully. As long as they are forced, they will retreat.

 But this time, Madam Sissi did not retreat. Instead, she forcefully asked people to leave the venue.

 This explains a lot of things.

 The lord who stood up suddenly felt very embarrassed. No one around him agreed with him, and even looked at him strangely.

 His face turned red with anger, he snorted, turned around and left.

After the man left the main hall, Mrs. Sissi said: "Although our Rangna family is not as strong as our ancestors, we can't bully anyone. Butler, please inform all the chambers of commerce and industry in the family. Do you understand all business dealings with that lord?"

 The old housekeeper nodded and quickly left the main hall.

If Mrs. Sissi’s request for people to leave just now made the remaining lords feel that something was wrong, then now that she has begun to use economic suppression methods, the significance goes even further.

 The Jeanne family began to slowly regain its former honor.

 At that moment, a lord suggested: "Ms. Sissi, we can re-discuss the matter of sending troops."

 Everyone agrees.

After hearing this, Mrs. Sissi said with satisfaction: "Very good, I also have this intention."

 The statistics this time are much more normal.

Then Mrs. Sissi still showed the statistical results to Hardy first. After looking at it for a while, Hardy nodded: "There is no problem. Except for more funds, the other proportions are pretty normal."

Mrs. Sissi trusted Hardy quite a lot and said after hearing this: "Then it's settled. You all also have a share in the glory of the Jeanna family. When we triumphantly return from the Ajiaka Empire, everyone will You can get what you want.”

After hearing this, all the lords applauded.

 They believe in the credibility of the Jeanna family.

The meeting ended afterwards. Many people wanted to chat with Hardy, but Mrs. Sissi was already chatting with Hardy.

Those lords had no choice but to give up and look for opportunities next time.

After all the lords left, Madam Sissi smiled and said, "Tomorrow you will accompany me to the royal meeting and help me figure things out when things happen."

 “That’s no problem.” Hardy nodded.

 Then he also prepared to leave.

At this time, Mrs. Sissi said: "There is someone waiting for you in the third guest room on the third floor. You should go and meet him."

Hardy was a little confused, but he still followed the instructions and went up to the third floor and knocked on the door of the guest room.

"Come in."

Hardy pushed the door open and found a woman wearing a purple magic robe sitting inside reading a book. Who else was there except Mrs. Patience.

“Madam, did you invite me?” Hardy walked over.

Patience put away the books in her hands and looked up at the boy: "I have no choice. The men in my family are too jealous, so I can only meet you in this way."

“There is nothing wrong between us, so why meet in this way? It’s better to meet openly.”

Patience smiled bitterly: "But my man doesn't think so. Although I don't like him very much now, I have to take into account the feelings of my two sons. If he knew that I met you, he would probably make a fuss in the city again. Two of them My son will probably be unhappy too.”

All right.

Hardy found a chair and sat down, and asked the beautiful female magician: "Ms. Patience, what's the matter with you that you must see me for?"

 At this point, Patience felt a little embarrassed. She hesitated for a while before saying, "My research funds have run out. Can you invest some more?"

“The hundred gold coins I gave you last time were used up so quickly?”

 Patience looked a little embarrassed: "The magic materials used are quite expensive."

Hardy began to frown.

 Investment, he knew, was a bottomless pit, and sometimes there would be no return for several years, or even more than ten years.

If things were normal, Hardy would definitely continue to invest more.

But now Hukaro City is just on the right track, and the initial expenses are too high, resulting in Hukaro City currently not having much liquidity.

He thought for a while and said: "I can also provide you with a hundred gold coins. I will take this token and find an old butler named Jack to ask for it. But in the next year or so, I will not be able to invest any more. , unless you are willing to take my token and go all the way to my hometown in Hexi County to withdraw the money. "

 “Do you still have money in Hexi County?”

 “A little bit!”

 It’s not a little, it’s a lot!

 There are many in the secret room.

 But according to the open account book, it is estimated that there are only more than 300 gold coins.

"Thank you." Patience stood up, her expression was strange: "I owe you a big favor."

 “Don’t worry, there will be a chance to repay.” Hadi smiled brightly.

What Hardy means is that as long as you make the magic potion, I can get a big reward.

 But women... always like to think wildly, and she suddenly felt that there seemed to be something in Hardy's words.

 But on the surface, it didn’t look like him, which made her very confused.

 Even started to think about whether to continue to ask Hardy for investment in the future.

"By the way, do you still want to study the Nightmare Knight?" Hardy suddenly asked.

 “Yes!” Patience’s eyes quickly brightened.

 She likes the Nightmare Knight the most.
