Succubus' Manor

Chapter 181

Stettin in the afternoon is very beautiful, this is the busiest time of the day except night, people are walking on the street, or carrying goods, or bargaining with peddlers.

There were noisy voices on the street, but Chi Yan didn't find it noisy. Instead, he thought the voice was nice.

If a city is always quiet, then the city will die, lose its popularity and vitality, and the city will not be a city.

He leaned against Kleist's arms, poking Kleist's chest muscles with his fingers, Kleist suddenly held Chi Yan's hand, Chi Yan raised his head, and the two had a very lingering kiss by the window kiss.

How lingering?When he stopped, Chi Yan's mouth was almost swollen, red and moist.

The tip of his tongue also hurt a little, but not only did he not hate it, he also liked it very much.

"I'm going to see the envoys of the Holy City later." Chi Yan stretched, "What do you think they will ask me for?"

Kleist put his hand on Chi Yan's belly: "I'm either asking you for money, or asking you for someone."

"If they have a bigger appetite, besides these two things, they will ask you for food."

Chi Yan snorted: "The holy courtyard is quite beautiful."

He rolled his eyes: "They are too arrogant, probably because they haven't really encountered a difficult enemy in so many years."

The royal family can be counted, but in the past few years, the queen has only begun to hold power in her hands again after she came to power. In the past, the Holy Court held the prince and used the emperor to command the princes, even if the previous king did not value his own. Son, but it doesn't mean that other people don't like it.

Chi Yan: "Anyway, I won't give them anything they want."

Kleist's hand slipped on Chi Yan's neck, he lowered his head, and whispered in Chi Yan's ear, "Then we can't let them go."

Chi Yan touched his chin: "I still want to wait until the Holy Court and the royal family really fight."

At that time, he can be more relaxed and consume less energy. After all, he still cherishes his soldiers very much, and he will feel heartbroken if he dies.

It is only cost-effective to get the maximum benefit at the minimum cost.

Kleist: "Then brainwash them."

The term brainwashing was learned by Kleist from Chi Yan.

Chi Yan: "Okay."

Anyway, his innate skills have been useless for a long time, so they can be used.

Kleist: "When they go back, they will be the nails you buried in the Holy Court."

Chi Yan suddenly said: "I can't give them people and money, but I can give them some food, so they can go back and do business."

Anyway, there is still a pile of old grain in the granary, and now Aliya belongs to him, and the new grain has been put in the warehouse, and the old grain is useless now, it is better to take it out, it can still be useful.

Of course Kleist knew that Chi Yan was talking about Chen Liang, and he also didn't feel sorry for Chen Liang.

— Except for the occasional visit of rats, no one in Stettin now eats old food.

They can all find jobs, even if they are poor, they can still build roads and sweep streets, and they can always make a living. Now the prices in Stettin are also cheap, and a large piece of tofu can't even cost a copper coin.

A piece of black bread enough to last three days is only three copper coins, and white bread is a little more expensive, only five coins.

Cakes with eggs and sugar are more expensive, but people don't take this as a staple food.

Now many people make their own ovens at home, and buy wheat flour to bake bread at home, which saves money.

And ironware has also entered the market, but most of them are small knives and iron pots that can only be used for cutting vegetables, and they are still limited, and a family can only buy one pot.

People's lives are better, and there are fewer criminals, especially the guards patrol all day, and even petty thefts are much less.

It was impossible for Chi Yan to truly put an end to crime - even if he could find a job with hands and feet, there would still be people who were idle and lazy, dreaming of getting rich overnight.

Petty theft is unlikely to disappear in modern times, let alone now.

It's just that the current methods of criminals are relatively rough, and they can be caught with snacks. After all, communication and transportation are not convenient.

After Chi Yan finished warming up with Kleist, he finally sent his servants to invite Bertram and several envoys over.

The envoys were younger than Chi Yan thought. He thought that the Holy Court would let experienced old people come over no matter what, but he didn't expect that all the people who came were young.

It is conceivable that the Holy Court does not dare to let useful people go out now, lest they be harmed by the royal family, and the Holy Court is short of people.

Chi Yan sat down with a smile.

Seeing Chi Yan's smile, Bertram shuddered, but he still dutifully said to the envoys, "Sit down, Lord Lord is a devout believer."

The envoys were not polite either. After seeing Chi Yan, they also developed a good impression of Chi Yan.

Although Chi Yan was not blond - but the group of nobles they hated were also blond, so blond hair was nothing special.

But Chi Yan looks good!He has a good-looking face, which is between men and women, but not indistinguishable from male and female, with the immaturity of a teenager, and the handsomeness of a young man.

Most of the people nowadays are Yangou, who recognize people by their faces, and think that those who are good-looking are good people, and those who are not good-looking are definitely not much better.

Looking at the senior officials of the Holy Court, one can see that there is no ugly person. After all, in the holy scriptures, the Holy Spirit is also a dog. He does not want to be ugly to serve him.

However, only the Holy City Holy Court is like this. After all, there are not so many good-looking people in the local Holy Court.

Chi Yan said first, "I didn't know you were coming, otherwise I would definitely send someone to pick you up."

The envoys were very polite: "It's nothing, the road here is not difficult."

"Yes, you and Dean Bertram have taken care of Stettin very well. Maybe you will have the opportunity to be summoned by the dean of the Holy Spirit in the future."

Chi Yan smiled sincerely, and complained in his heart: He summons whomever he likes, I won't go anyway.

Several people were polite for a while, and Chi Yan gave Bertram a wink.

Bertram immediately pissed and fled.

After Bertram left, Chi Yan turned into second gear.

The envoys who were still in the heated discussion just now seemed to be fixed. They sat in a daze, looked at Chi Yan with fiery eyes, and panted heavily.

It doesn't look like a human, but a beast.

Chi Yan: "..."

This thing has evolved again.

Next time he reckoned that one gear would be enough.

Chi Yan quickly came to his senses: "Are you here to ask me for someone?"

The envoys had only one voice: "The Abbot asked us to ask you for soldiers."

Envoy: "It would be even better if we can get money and food."

Chi Yan nodded, just as he expected, the Abbot is quite greedy.

"Tell me how the Holy Court is doing now?" Chi Yan asked.

However, this group of envoys is obviously not the core personnel of the Holy Court. They probably didn't even touch the edge of the core, otherwise they would not be released, but they are indeed loyal.

The person who sends the message does not need to be very smart, as long as he can repeat the request, loyalty is enough.

The holy courtyard is still very stable now, which is different from what Chi Yan thought.

Occasionally foreigners come in and out, they should be Flanders, but there are very few of them. Obviously, the Holy Court did not allow the Flanders to enter the city directly, and they should not be near the Holy City, but found a safer place.

But Chi Yan got a famous piece of information.

The once-a-day Prayer Day is approaching.

This is the biggest festival in Kentis. On this day, everyone has to take a bath, and then go to the holy courtyard to pray and kneel down. Those who cannot stand in the holy courtyard will kneel and pray outside the holy courtyard and on the street.

Can't be in the room.

The royal family also had to attend, and they had to bathe their bodies and minds with spiritual water under the auspices of the Abbot, which was actually washing their hands and faces.

Last year the royal family attended, and they will certainly be present this year.

Then... This is a good opportunity for the Holy Court. This is a traditional festival, the grandest festival, and it is impossible for the royal family not to go.

Otherwise, not only would it be a war with the Holy Court, but it might also lose the hearts of the people. Although the hearts of the people may not seem important, many nobles are also believers. Even if the queen does not need the power of the people, she also needs the power of the nobles.

So even if she knew the danger, she had to go.

Chi Yan felt that on the day of Prayer Day, the Holy Court would attack.

At that time, it is not certain who will win the game.

Chi Yan rubbed his chin, feeling that he could have a hand in it.

No, I can't go yet...

Now he is going to the holy city, the name is not right, the resistance is too great, and he just needs to wait patiently.

So he said to the envoys: "Go back and tell the Abbot, and tell them that Stettin is very poor. People have no clothes to wear, no food to eat, and everything has been robbed by Rose."

"Roser spread the rumours, fearing that they would know the truth."

"However, the lord of Stettin is very pious. Even if Stettin is poor, he is willing to send food."

He doesn't care whether the Holy Court believes it or not, there are always businessmen walking around Stettin, and the Holy Court will know soon if they are interested in asking about Stettin.

He just wanted to make the Holy Court suspect whether Rose had deceived them, how he deceived them, where the news came from, and whether there were spies sent by the royal family in the Holy Court.

When they became suspicious, they naturally had to investigate internally, and then they would have no time to take care of Chi Yan.

Chi Yan made up the lie again, and then asked with a smile, "How long are you going to stay here?"

Envoys: "Five days."

Chi Yan nodded: "Then take a good rest for the next five days, tell the servants what you want to eat, and no one will stop you if you want to go out for a stroll."

After Chi Yan finished speaking, he asked, "Is there anything else you want to say?"

The envoys looked at him dazedly, and one of them was still swallowing saliva.

The most daring one asked, "My lord, may I go to your room tonight?"

The corner of Chi Yan's mouth twitched: "No!"

You don't even look at your own big nose!

"My lord, he has foot odor, but I don't!"

"My lord, I'm the best figure among us!"

Chi Yan had a headache: "Shut up!"

He knew that as long as he used this, the current situation would definitely appear.

He doesn't like a group of people courting him at all.

Looks like the doors are going to be locked tonight, lest they try to sneak into their rooms.

He wasn't afraid of being taken advantage of, but he was afraid that Kleist would find out that someone wanted to enter the house and kill him.
