The Black Duke of the Pirate

Chapter 29 029. Temporary Compromise of Nobles

The royal city of Polkaya is ten meters high, and the gate is a wooden door nearly one meter thick.

It is basically impossible to break through the city gate with the ordinary armed means of the current riot team, but if it is burned with fire, the wooden gate can be burned down.

However, Li Xiao has no intention of breaking through for the time being. He just wants to create more chaos outside and cut off the water source and food in the royal city. The supplies in the royal city need to be replenished in time every day, and it depends on which side can not hold on.

In the afternoon, soldiers finally came to shout out in the royal city. Li Xiao knew that the nobles in the royal city couldn't stand it anymore.

However, the other party's intention was to let the rioting civilians withdraw one mile away before they were willing to negotiate.

"To all the warriors who rebelled against the nobles, look, the nobles have compromised. I am here to assure you that no one will ever collect heavenly gold from you again."

Li Xiao shouted loudly in front of the riot team of nearly ten thousand people, and the crowd cheered like thunder, and Li Xiao continued to say: "I assure you, after this time, the nobles of the kingdom will never dare to kill us if they want to!" Grab it and grab it."

"Reinhardt Dawn Polkin, our hero!"

Suddenly there was a loud shout in the crowd, and then thousands of people began to call his name, the hero who rescued them.

Under the mobilization of dawn, the riot team withdrew a mile away.

Rontgen did not stay, he led a 20-man escort to maintain order in the rioting ranks.

Harvey followed Li Xiao to the city.

"You made my promise and hope it will be kept."

Harvey didn't have any other thoughts at this time, but he still couldn't forget what Li Xiao promised before. Seeing that the nobles sent people to negotiate, he reminded him aloud, but he was very careful when he said this, for fear of angering Li Xiao. After all, the scene last night was really terrifying.

Li Xiao smiled and patted him on the shoulder: "Don't worry, I will never treat my own people badly."

Harvey nodded calmly and stopped talking. The two waited quietly at the gate of the city.

After a long time, the gate finally opened slowly, and a nobleman came from the city, followed by a team of 20 soldiers.

Li Xiao was slightly taken aback, it was a familiar face.

Holt Barron.

"Meet you again, Lord Barron." Li Xiao looked at him with a smile.

A surprised expression appeared on Barron's handsome face. He never thought that he was the leader of this riot.

"You provoked this riot?" Barron said lightly.

Li Xiao shook her head and replied: "It's not a riot, it's a struggle against the oppression of the nobles."

Barron drove away the twenty soldiers behind him, leaving only one guard behind, who was an acquaintance whom he had met once, Fayden.

He said, "On behalf of His Royal Highness Clovis, I came down to discuss a settlement."

"Since it's a reconciliation, let's show the sincerity of reconciliation." Harvey said something beside him, and Baron was slightly taken aback. He didn't know Harvey, but seeing Harvey's vicious bald image, he still felt that A little apprehensive.

"Who is this?" Barron asked angrily, and Li Xiao replied calmly, "My assistant, Harvey."

Barron felt a little strange, feeling that the dawn in front of him seemed very mysterious, and it seemed that he could always get unusual helpers.

After thinking about it, Barron said, "Tell me about your request. As long as it is reasonable, I can make the decision."

Li Xiao nodded, showing a gentle smile: "Actually, I have no choice but to do these things. You are always burning, killing and looting my village. If I don't resist, I will be killed."

Seeing his indifference, Liming repeated again in doubt: "Can you really make the decisions?"

Barron nodded: "As long as the request is reasonable, I can make the decision, but only if you want the riot to stop immediately."

Li Xiao didn't expect that the prince would take the initiative to settle this matter, which is very reasonable under normal circumstances. Now that the king is seriously ill, the prince will handle state affairs on his behalf.

But it was an ordinary country, and Polkaya was different. The rights of the kingdom’s younger brother, Ke Toke, had spread to every corner of the kingdom. During the two years when the king was seriously ill, Ke Toke basically held the real power.

In any case, this kind of thing should be sent by Ketok, no matter whether it is negotiating and suppressing, it will not delegate power to His Royal Highness at this critical moment.

After thinking for a moment, Li Xiao said, "First, announce the crimes committed by the Lerman family in the Polkaya News, and provide a large amount of monetary compensation for the civilians killed by Lerman Gove."

The first one was decided by Li Xiao after careful consideration. This was the major premise. The nobles had to admit their mistakes in order to appease the anger of most of the civilians in the rioting ranks.

"No problem." Barron nodded and said, the Lehrman family has basically been abandoned by Ketok, and the funds are naturally provided by the current Lehrman family.

"The second point is to allocate the entire area of ​​Chengfang Town and Yeku Town to refugees, and provide 15 billion Baileys free of charge to allow refugees to rebuild their homes."

"Impossible." Baron froze for a moment, then refused, "Wild Cave Town can be used as a home for refugees, but the City Defense Town cannot. It is an important seaport in Polkaya."

Yeku Town itself is a mountain of rubbish that nobles never care about, and it doesn't matter if it is given to him or not, but Chengfang Town is an important seaport, and it is impossible for refugees to rebuild their homes.

"And the 15 billion Baileys you mentioned are too much, up to [-] million."

Li Xiao smiled lightly and shook her head: "It was you who came to me for the negotiation. If you go directly to the royal city and slaughter the nobles as I want, it will save you more trouble."

This made Barron's face darken. Judging by the means of the dead pirate that night, it is really possible for him to do this.

"Seven hundred million, this is the maximum amount I can decide."

"Since you can't be the master, then find someone who can." Li Xiao suddenly stood up, turned and left.Harvey just wanted to persuade Li Xiao, but after seeing Li Xiao's cold and undeniable gaze, he suppressed all his words in his stomach.

"Wait." Barron was in a hurry. This time, Clovis explained that he would temporarily stabilize the rebellious civilians outside the city at all costs. Barron also knew in his heart that as a nobleman on the prince's side, the current court situation There is a possibility of a huge conflict between the prince and Ketok at any time.

He really couldn't understand why the prince took over this thankless task from Ketok.

Seeing Lixiao continue to walk, he heard a voice behind him.

"One billion Baileys." Baron said these four words almost through gritted teeth. He really hated Li Xiao. This person is too shrewd. He knew his bottom line from the beginning, so he was so confident.

"Say it earlier." Li Xiao laughed, just like an old friend, and turned to Barron: "Lord Barron, it is not easy for me to lead such a large team to do such a brain-dead thing, Always give them something in return."

Barron looked at Dawn with a pale face.

"Come on, let's continue, Lord Barron calm down."

After Barron recovered, Li Xiao continued, "I don't need Chengfang Town, but you have to divide the area around Chengfang Town for me."

Baron nodded without any doubts. Except for the ocean, the surroundings of Chengfang Town are all inland rivers or rocky environments. It is no problem to agree to this.
