Chapter 265 Southern Lord
When everyone stepped into the city of Azus again, many people couldn't help but look surprised.
Is this really the Azus that was the first?
Among these nobles, many of them were people who had followed Brad to Azus once. Although they were ulterior motives at that time, they still noticed the situation around them. At that time, it was impossible to call it a city, but to be honest, even if it was regarded as a town, it was too polite for the nobles. Moreover, Azus could not be considered a city at that time. Not only were the roads narrow, but the houses seemed to be built randomly. Even a richer village was much cleaner and more beautiful than what came here. However, due to the rebellion of Old Brad and the thunderous means of Yiming, the nobles finally just put the lord's governance capabilities in their hearts, and it was naturally impossible to get it on the table.
But when everyone stepped into Azus again, they couldn't help but open their eyes wide in surprise.
Is this really the shabby city they remember?
Marien's administrative ability is definitely not under her magical ability.
After that incident, Marian, who was finally able to cheer up, ignored Alinoa's opposition and flattened all the "illegal buildings" in Azus City at that time. He also re-planned it. Of course, in addition to the special requirements of Imina itself, rebuilding a city is really simple for Marian. Although the city of Azus is not majestic, it is small and complete with all the internal organs. Although it does not have the grandeur and gorgeousness of Lily Flower City, it has a bit of elegance and natural beauty - like a beautiful jewelry box, small and exquisite, but it is also fascinating.
"Welcome to Azus City."
Marian stood at the entrance of the castle and greeted everyone with a respectful expression. Many of the nobles looked a little embarrassed after seeing Marian. After all, as the daughter of a traitor, she was the only one who was pardoned among her immediate family. Among these nobles, there were also many people who had been good friends with the Brad family before, so they were enthusiastic, not unhelpful, nor were they. They didn't know how to react at all, and Marian didn't seem to care about these. She just greeted these friends who were once fathers with a calm smile, and then made a few polite words with the leader, and then received everyone into the castle.
The Brad family is finished.
Looking at Marian's thin figure, many old people sighed from the bottom of their hearts. They also envied Brad for having such a smart, capable and beautiful daughter. But the opportunity to choose in a life of man is very limited. It is very likely that one of the choices will have an irreversible impact on everything in the future. Marian was once high and above, and now she was sent by Yiming to welcome guests. This kind of work can only be done by servants. This shows that Marian was not valued by Yiming. But politics is like this. So these nobles just sighed in their hearts and threw Marian aside. Anyway, her current status is just like this.
Then, in the elegant and simple living room, the nobles met Yiming and Meiali.
"Mr. Yiming, Lord Meiali. Long time no see."
With a passionate smile, Little Holkin greeted them very familiarly. Yi Ming nodded and returned the greeting. Mayalie also showed a friendly smile to Little Holkin. Seeing this scene, everyone couldn't help but feel a little worried. Seeing Little Holkin's appearance, it was obviously very familiar with them. Then this was obviously overwhelmingly unfavorable to me and others. After all, after many times before, after Yi Ming's actions, the nobles either waited and watched or put some rumors in trouble. Only the Holkin family stood firmly with them. At the same time, refuted those rumors. Although many people did not say anything on the surface, they were privately depressed but disagreed. After all, at that time, Yi Ming and Mayalie were not legendary swordsmen. There were even rumors and speculations. Old Holkin planned to raise two watchdogs for his family, or they fell in love with the young and beautiful female swordsman, so they deliberately showed goodwill.
But now it seems that their guesses are all wrong.

And it's a big step late.
Faced with the greetings of the nobles, Yi Ming did nothing. He just shrugged his shoulders and signaled everyone to sit down. Of course, if this action was done by Meyali, it would obviously be more elegant and more beautiful. Icefish sat in the corner next to her, still holding her own book and reading it. Even if such a prominent person came in, her only reaction was to raise her head and glance around, and then make sure that they did not threaten her and her parents at all, and then immersed in her own book again.
"You must be tired from traveling a long distance. I should have used a more grand ceremony to entertain you... But I believe everyone has seen that Azus City is just a small city, and I only have a few capable assistants under my command. I really can't draw more people. I hope you all forgive me."
"Of course, respect Lord Di Yiming."
As soon as Yi Ming finished speaking, a young nobleman named Taylor responded hurriedly.
"Please rest assured, we all know that death... No, what the Forest of Life used to be like, it is amazing that you can build such a beautiful city in such a short time. It is truly a legendary swordsman. If you don't have enough staff, let's do it. Our Wallace Chamber of Commerce recently arrived a batch of good goods for you to build Azus City."
Yi Ming smiled and said nothing. This Taylor is a member of the Wallace family.
You can see that it is obvious that it is better to be more
I was still worried about the matter of the old Gulliver family. However, this is the business family's due action. Moreover, considering that they were also during the parliamentary review period, it was natural that the Wallace family would be so nervous.
Looking at the Muse, it was obvious that the Detroit family had no guilt at all that they had caused trouble after crossing the business line. At present, both him and the few people behind him looked like an old god... Yi Ming frowned slightly. This Muse looked familiar. He was sure that he had definitely seen him somewhere with the other party. But looking at the Muse, he seemed to have no idea of himself at all.
Thinking of this, Yi Ming gave up thinking, then he looked at everyone again, stayed for a moment at Brenda, and then moved his eyes to the girl in a black cloak at the end. Because she was the only woman after Brenda, Yi Ming rarely paid special attention to the other party, but after listening to the rumors about this woman, Yi Ming's first reaction was not surprise or fear, but laughing and crying.
The girl's name is Stifallia, and she was a small lord in the south of the Leah Empire. She was 19 years old this year, slightly older than Meyali, and her parents died in her early years. Unlike Yiming and Meyali, she was not through strength, but the title of lord and viscount inherited by the family. This is actually not uncommon among the nobles. After all, for the nobles, whether men or women, being able to lead the family to continue to develop is the best candidate. But even so, her identity is still eye-catching. It is not because of other places, but because she has the imperial royal family.
The surname is not surprising. The Steefal family was originally a direct royal relative. Later, after the Parliament took power, the family knew that if they persisted, the grasshoppers in the autumn would be better than a few days. So they left the imperial capital very happily and took away a large number of unstable forces at that time. In return, the Parliament allowed them to own a piece of their own territory in the rich places in the south. Because the southern commerce has always been prosperous and the transportation is quite convenient, the Steefal family has always lived a good life.
But this female lord has many different things.
Because she was the first female nobleman to marry a bride, and according to rumors, she likes girls very much.
This is a big problem in itself.
The bride married by Stefall is a magician, and their combination has a legendary experience and color from the beginning.
The magician was Stefar's young playmate. Like an ordinary magician, she entered the academy and after graduation, she served as the head of a very famous family patriarch in Liuli City. In the eyes of ordinary nobles, this was no different from actually getting married. In fact, they did hold a wedding.
However, on the day of the wedding, Stefall suddenly broke into the wedding venue, then persuaded the lady of the magician, and took her away.
This incident caused quite a stir in the entire empire, and the family evacuated Liuli City shortly afterwards. It is said that no one had seen the groom at that time since then.
For any man, this kind of pain is completely understandable. On the wedding day, your woman was snatched away by another woman, and for a man, there is no more painful shame than this.
So for a long time after that, the male nobles in the empire could avoid this lord lady, fearing that she would like to fall in love with her wife or fiancée, and then she would lose all her face as a man from beginning to end. Fortunately, Miss Steefal seemed to have lost any interest in other girls since the robbery incident. Although it has been three years since this incident, looking at the uneasy attitude of the nobles sitting beside her, she obviously wanted to stay away from this lady.
Moreover, what interested Yiming the most was that this Miss Stefall was actually a swordsman.
A woman, a woman as a swordsman, a lord, and a lord who snatched someone else's bride on the wedding day. All these factors were mixed together, and it was no wonder that Yiming was a little amused and crying about her experience.
Of course, Yi Ming was also a little worried. This female lord with good sex would have thoughts about who is around him...
After a chat on the scene, the nobles expressed their thoughts. They simply hoped to build their shops or branches in the city of Azus, hoping that Yiming could make it easier. Moreover, there are more and more mercenaries in the Life Forest. For those nobles who are engaged in selling weapons and armor, they naturally saw the business opportunities inside. After the nobles spoke, the muse, who had been silent before, suddenly spoke.
"I heard that Miss Mayalie seems to be able to play a strange instrument, and the tone is very beautiful. I wonder if she can ask her to play a song for us on the spot?"
Everyone was stunned, and Yi Ming's face had already sunk.
You know, Meyalie is a nobleman of the same level as hers. Although she was not in her original intention, Yiming still learned some knowledge between the noble class from Marian. The Muse was just a third-order heir and had no title. Not to mention not, even if there was, why should he ask Meyalie to play? Is this kid impatient to live?
"Mr. Muse, you are too rude to Lord Mayalie."
Seeing that the atmosphere was not right, little Holkin hurried out to smooth things over, and he was extremely dissatisfied. The little Holkin had also heard of this playboy reputation, and along the way, he was not uncommon to win at his sister. This was originally a little
Extremely dissatisfied. Now he dares to make this statement in the public hall, which is really infuriating.
"How dare I make a rude move to the beautiful lady? I just hope to listen to Miss Mayalie's performance. I think Miss Mayalie should not refuse my request."
Just as Yi Ming seemed to be leaning back casually, everyone suddenly had a cold war like falling from the ice kiln, as if the murderous intent was actually emanating from Yi Ming's body. Although his voice was as relaxed as usual, almost everyone could feel irresistible fear.
"Sorry, Mr. Muse, Mayalie is my fiancée, and you are not qualified to make any requests from her."
"Mr. Muse, please remember your identity. You are just a third heir. In such an occasion, it is the most basic courtesy of the noble. Otherwise, I will ask you to leave."
Everyone could feel that if Muse said another word, then Yiming's next move was to kill people. Although he had maintained the basic politeness of a noble and a lord just now, most nobles had seen Bled's methods as early as when he was killed and realized that this young man was very dangerous. What's more, Yiming had not killed a nobleman... Old Gulliver's lessons, even the entire family was destroyed, and almost no one knew about this.
"You are joking. I am just a little guest. How dare you disrespect your master?"
But Muse smiled slightly again and sat down again.
(He did it on purpose, don't fall into the trap.)
"I'm not that stupid."
Yiming lowered his voice and responded to Mealee's concern in a voice that he could hardly hear, but he still stared at the Muse coldly.
He didn't look away until Stefall stood up.
"So, Lord Yiming and Lord Meiali. Everyone has explained their purpose, so I will also talk about my ideas. In fact, I came this time to open up a special commercial road between Liuli City and Azus City."
“Special trade route?”
Yiming didn't understand her meaning, while Stefar nodded with a smile.
"Yes, we hope to obtain the right to buy some of the goods here, and in contrast, we will also provide the appropriate prices and sales channels to Azus City. To be honest, many of the nobles in the south are very fond of the specialty goods here. I came here this time to express my opinions to you on behalf of them."
“I’ll consider it.”
Yi Ming nodded. The other nobles only said that they wanted to open a shop in Azus City, and the female lord actually traded for export as soon as they opened their mouths, which made Yi Ming a little moved. You know, no matter how many shops they opened in Azus City, it would be meaningless to afford them. Instead of doing so, it would be better to seek a more convenient and fast way to export foreign trade. Of course, Yi Ming's specialty is conspiracy rather than political and commercial transactions, so he had to ask Meyalie, Marian and others for the opinions of this matter before making a decision.
"Then, you guys must be tired from traveling a long distance. I will send someone to take you to your room for rest now. I hope everyone doesn't mind that my place is simple."
After talking to Stefall about the trade routes, Yiming sent someone to take the nobles to the room to rest. And just as he stood up, winked at Marian, signaling her to take Muse away, a person who gave him a great headache appeared beside him.
"Sir Yiming, Lord Meialie."
Brenda walked up, lifted up her skirt, and saluted the two shyly and restrainedly.
"I am Brendalkin. My father asked me to take him to say hello to both of you..."
Brenda didn't finish her words, because when she saw Mayalie returning to her greeting with an almost irrefutable attitude, she seemed to be stunned. It was not until Little Holkin coughed from behind that Brenda returned to normal.
"Miss Brenda, thank you for your father's greetings. Please... take Meyer and Me to say hello to Lingzun."
While listening carefully to Mayalie's instructions from his mind, Yi Ming responded with a distorted tone. But Brenda blushed slightly and nodded slightly. Although in the eyes of ordinary people, Brenda's appearance could be considered shy and cute, it was undoubtedly a demon's roar in Yi Ming's eyes. So he quickly shifted his eyes and looked at the little Holkin standing beside Brenda.
"Then, Mr. Holgin, I have some important things to discuss with you... As for Miss Brenda, let Mayalie accompany her around the castle."
“Can I attend too?”
At this moment, another pleasant female voice also appeared in Yi Ming's ears. Stefar didn't know when they came to them and said to Yi Ming with a strange smile. Yi Ming could only spread his hands helplessly.
"I'm very sorry, Miss Stefall, this is some private matter. Well... maybe you can wait a moment, I'm also interested in your proposal for that special trade route."
"Then, I'll say goodbye first."
Stefale nodded, then looked at Mayalie and Brenda with a smile, and then turned and left. It was not until her figure disappeared at the entrance of the living room that Yiming and Little Holkin were relieved. They looked at each other, and then shook their heads with a helpless smile.
