Starting Today, I’ll Work as a City Lord

"Who knows, at this juncture, if you learn that the other party has offered the princess as a bargaining chip, but you don't have any bargaining chips, you will definitely be furious." Grand Knight Graham said incredulously.

The Duke of Kansas nodded and agreed, "You are right, if His Majesty knows that he has no princess to use as a bargaining chip, he will definitely spread his grievances on the queen or princess.

...I think that with His Majesty's character, he might recruit a large number of beautiful girls from the Principality of Chama, and maybe send them to the Han Dynasty. " Grand Knight Graham guessed.

... What you said is also reasonable, this is indeed something that is relatively easy to do. ' the Duke of Kansas agreed.

"That's right, in order to cooperate with the Han Dynasty and want the assistance of the Han Dynasty, I think His Majesty will do anything." Great Knight Graham nodded repeatedly.

"Pray, I hope to return to the palace later, Your Majesty will not be too angry." The Duke of Kansas raised his eyebrows slightly.

Grand Knight Graham shrugged his shoulders and said, "Yes, your lord will bear the brunt at that time."

The Duke of Kansas rolled his eyes lightly and said, "Don't rejoice too early, if His Majesty is angry, don't think about where you will be.

Grand Knight Graham curled his lips and said with a hearty smile, "Hahaha... I'll find out later."

After more than five hours, it was already past four o'clock in the afternoon, and they entered the palace of Jinsui City.

The two looked at each other, shrugged each other and walked into the palace, ordering the attendants to deliver the goods together.

"Tap Tat Tat...

The Duke of Kansas came to the palace hall and saluted respectfully, "Your Majesty, I haven't seen you for a long time, and I offer you my most sincere greetings."

The same was true for Graham, who was on the side, and retreated to the side after performing a complete aristocratic salute.

King Zhatu looked at the two of them, and said in a deep voice, "I've been away for so long, has there been any good news for me?"

The Duke of Kansas froze for a moment, and said with a little embarrassment, "Your Majesty, we have brought a lot of goods back this time."

"Yes, the goods in Chang'an City, Your Majesty, are really good. We bought a lot this time, which is completely enough for us." Great Knight Graham said excitedly. King Zhatu looked at the two of them with narrowed eyes, and asked for a while, "What about the fact that the Han Dynasty sent knights to help us?"

The Duke of Kansas was even more embarrassed. He didn't expect the other party to ask this directly. He calmed down for a while and said, "Your Majesty, the Han Dynasty does not agree to send knights to help us. 943

"What? The other party refused to send knights to help us, so why are you coming back?" King Zhatu said angrily.

"Your Majesty, it's like this, because they said that their knight strength is not very strong, and when they are developing now, they promised to help others, so there is no way to help us." The Duke of Kansas was a little emboldened after finishing speaking. .

King Zha Tu lowered his eyebrows and asked suspiciously, "What did you say? He promised to help others, so who is he helping?"

The Duke of Kansas shook his head and said, "Your Majesty, I don't know either. His Majesty the Han Dynasty didn't tell us, and it's not convenient for me to ask.

"Why did you rush back without asking clearly? What if they helped the Duchy of Mulin or the Duchy of Maner, what should we do? Just watch the entire Duchy of Chama fall before your eyes?" King Zhatu looked very anger.

"No, Your Majesty, the Principality of Mullin also sent envoys to the Han Dynasty. It seems that they have also hit a wall." The Duke of Kansas quickly explained. King Zha Tu fell silent, looking up and down at the two of them, eyes full of anger.

The Duke of Kansas was slightly embarrassed, struggled for a while, and said, "Your Majesty, don't be angry, there will be a solution."

"That's right, Your Majesty, it's still winter, and the Principality of Man'er doesn't dare to act rashly, so don't worry too much." Great Knight Graham added hastily.

King Zhatu raised his eyebrows slightly, and said coldly, "It will be spring in a few days, shouldn't you be nervous?"

"Your Majesty, that's not what we mean. What we mean is that you can take a good rest and discuss this matter in the spring." The Duke of Kansas explained.

In fact, there is still one thing he didn't say, that is, it is useless to worry now. The Han Dynasty has already said that they will not send knights to support them. Why are you worrying here?

Grand Knight Graham nodded repeatedly, and said, "Yes, Your Majesty, your lordship is right. The main thing you need to do now is to take a good rest. Snow in winter will make people very uncomfortable."

"Have a good rest? How can I have a good rest if this matter is not resolved? Chama Duchy has finally developed to the present state, and next year there will be a big problem. How can I rest well?" King Zhatu said angrily.

The Duke of Kansas saluted and said, "Your Majesty, in fact, we can still discuss it with the Han Dynasty. After all, the Principality of Maner has no strong one to fight against us."

"Yes, Your Majesty, when spring arrives and we deliver the first batch of saltpeter, it will be time for us to negotiate for the second time." Great Knight Graham said.

King Zhatu picked up his wine glass and asked, "By the way, what is the saltpeter you mentioned in your letter?"

The Duke of Kansas relaxes a little when he sees that the King is no longer holding on to the matter-

Next, he quickly explained, "It's a strange kind of stone, which is of no use to us, but it seems that the Han Dynasty liked this kind of stone very much."

"Yeah, anyway, that kind of stone is useless to us, and we can sell it to them. We don't lose a bit." Jiu. " Grand Knight Graham smiled.

"Indeed, in exchange for the benefit of lower prices for the purchase of goods from the Han Dynasty, we have earned it." The Duke of Kansas said excitedly.

King Zhatu looked puzzled, as if what the two of them said had nothing to do with him. After taking a sip of his wine, he said, "According to what you said, then as long as we don't lose money, the rest is not important."

"Your Majesty, we bought a lot of rice this time. Although the price is very expensive, you will definitely like it." The Duke of Kansas said excitedly.

King Zhatu put down his wine glass and said in a deep voice, "It's best, if the rice you mentioned doesn't meet my requirements, then you should bear the loss yourself."

In the past, the Duke of Kansas might have felt guilty, but now he is very confident and calmly said, "Your Majesty, don't worry about this, it will definitely meet your standards."

Grand Knight Graham nodded again and again, and echoed, "Yes, Your Majesty, you can try it later. The rice this time is really different from what we ate before, as you can tell from the name alone."

"By the way, what is rice? The name is really strange. Is it related to water when it is planted?" King Zhatu asked curiously.

"I don't know exactly how it's grown, but this rice is the polished rice we eat," the Duke of Kansas explained.

King Zhatu raised his eyebrows slightly, and asked doubtfully, "It's just polished rice, what are you talking about so mysteriously? Although the price is higher than that of wheat, how expensive is it?"

The Duke of Kansas said with a smile, "This rice is even more delicious than the polished rice we usually eat. It's plump and delicious. I can eat two big bowls of it with side dishes!"

The big knight Graham agreed, nodded and said like smashing garlic, "Your Majesty, what your lord said is true, you must try it, this rice does not have the musty smell that we usually eat in winter, it only has A very fresh herbal scent."

If Liu Feng heard the description of the two, he would probably be called a gourmet connoisseur. This is a set of words, and it looks quite professional, so people can't help but also buy some.

King Zhatu was no exception. After using the descriptions of the two, he narrowed his eyes slightly and said calmly, "Since I have said so much, let me try it!"

"Your Majesty, please wait a moment. When we came in, I arranged for the servants to cook. I believe it should be almost done now." The Duke of Kansas smiled.

Now he secretly breathed a sigh of relief, at least he was no longer as aggressive as before, which made him less stressed.

The same is true for Grand Knight Graham. His tightly clenched palms began to relax, and before he knew it, his palms were already covered with cold sweat.

King Zhatu nodded several times, and squeezed out a sentence, "."It's better to be as you said. "

"Your Majesty, don't worry." The Duke of Kansas vowed.

After more than ten minutes, two attendants walked into the palace hall with a bowl each.

King Zhatu looked at the two bowls covered on the tray, frowned, and said,

"Isn't it just polished rice, why make it so mysterious."
