I rely on cards to build infrastructure

In the reception room of the City Lord's Mansion, Xia Heng smiled and looked at the sweaty envoys from the cities opposite, and took a sip of the black tea presented by Sullivan without haste.

There were still things brought by the envoys on the conference table. They looked pretty good on the outside, but they were only visible on the outside.

Sitting next to Xia Heng, Xia Feng gloated and glanced back and forth at those people. Seeing them looking like quails, he was very happy.

Originally, there was a special person in charge of diplomacy, but this guy Xia Heng insisted that he should come in contact with those city envoys this time.

Xia Feng was not at ease at first, especially when he saw that Xia Heng was welcoming those people very friendly, he wished he could go up and smash his head.

The people who came here obviously didn't have a brain, and they treated Xia Heng with the attitude they treated other small cities.

Doesn't this poke a hornet's nest?

So, before Xia Feng could react, Guardian No. 7100, who had been following Xia Heng all the time, taught these guys how to behave with his insanely powerful force value under Xia Heng's secret action order.

"Tsk tsk tsk, salutation first and soldiers first, if you don't listen to me when I talk to you, you have to be beaten to be honest?"

"It has been said that those who are close to vermilion are red and those who are close to ink are black. As the confidantes of the city lord of xx city, does it mean that your city lord also likes to be beaten?"

Xia Heng said casually, ignoring the expressions of resentment and fear of those people, and gave Xia Feng a look, "Aren't you going to celebrate? Then follow the above preparations."

Xia Feng raised his hands and feet in favor of defrauding people.

He quickly took out the treaty he had just drawn up not long ago, and threw them in front of those people one by one.

"Here, follow this."

All the messengers suddenly had a bad feeling, and this feeling reached its limit when they saw clearly the contents of the treaty.

What the hell is celebration, this is already almost catching up with the tribute that the defeated city gives to the victors!

Moreover, the tribute is only paid once, so the treaty is good. If you don't pay tribute every year, you will be beaten.

"That... City Lord Xia, this is a bit too much for you. We can give it, but can you hold it?"

The messenger from Otto City spoke first.

The city he was in was the most powerful among the surrounding cities, so when he said these words, he carried a sense of superiority and even a sense of threat in it.

Although I don't know where his superiority lies, after all, Otto City is not a city that can be called a famous city in the Sunset Empire.

"Whether you can keep it or not, that is the business of the city owner. Does it have anything to do with you?"

Xia Heng didn't take his threats seriously at all, and was even very happy that this guy came out to be the first bird.

"I'm sorry City Lord Xia, we don't agree. But..."

The envoy of Otto City has also calmed down now, seeing that Xia Heng has been talking all the time, and the fear of being beaten up by the guard No. 7100 before is slowly dissipating.

"But what?" Xia Feng asked, his attitude was not very enthusiastic.

The envoy of Otto City showed a smile of 'it's done', touched his upper and lower lips, and narrated the meaning of his Lord City Master verbatim.

After he finished speaking, the envoys from the remaining cities also began to talk about their master's intentions.

All of them are weak in strength and have a big appetite. Hearing that Xia Feng's seven orifices are smoking, he can't wait to kill these people on the spot.

Xia Heng raised his hand to hold him down, and quietly pointed to the empty space that should have been occupied by Guardian No. 7100 with his hand under the table. I have my own plan.

Xia Feng was stunned for a moment, not knowing what he was up to.But after being the temporary city lord for more than half a year, he still learned how to cover up his true emotions.

Therefore, seeing Xia Feng's calm expression, the messengers thought that Altin had acquiesced to their request, and they talked more cheerfully.

Five minutes later, when the last person finally shut up, the reception room finally fell silent.

The room was eerily quiet.

This kind of atmosphere that was so quiet that they didn't dare to breathe also made the emissaries start to beat their hearts.

What is the meaning of this city lord of Altin?

"City Master Xia, what do you think?"

"Wait."

Xia Heng said a word lightly, raised her eyelids and gave those people a generous look, then calmly picked up a spoon and settled the dessert that Sullivan had just brought to him.

All the messengers: "..."

Good guy, we are negotiating!If you don’t answer and respond negatively, you still eat? ? ?

The envoys from other cities were blown out of their minds by Xia Heng, and even Xia Feng was caught off guard by his coquettish manipulation.

This... this, this, what is this situation? ? ?There seems to be no option for afternoon tea in the plan, right?

Although there is no problem with temporarily adding it, why do you have to eat it when negotiating with others?Do you feel that someone looks at it and eats it?

Xia Feng's mind was filled with many big question marks, but when Sullivan also placed a share in front of him, he instantly put these questions behind him.

What do you do with so much, just eat it!

Therefore, Xia Feng also joined the afternoon tea camp very calmly, completely ignoring all the envoys.

"City Lord Xia, if you don't want to, you don't have to humiliate us like this!"

The envoy of Otto City's face was a bit ugly, obviously because Xia Heng and Xia Feng's behavior made him feel extremely embarrassed.

Thinking of him as the number one diplomat in Otto City, who would not treat him politely when he went to the surrounding cities?

Only Altin!

When he goes back this time, he must add oil and vinegar in front of his own city lord, and then show them some color.

The envoy of Otto City thought and snorted softly to express his disdain.

But before he could be proud, the communication rune he carried with him suddenly rang.

This thing was given to him by the city lord of Otto City before he left, saying that he would contact him through this if he had any orders.Now that the thing rang, the envoy of Otto City didn't think too much about it. He just thought that his city lord had some orders, and didn't even show any respect, so he answered the communication in front of Xia Heng and Xia Feng.

Xia Heng's mouth twitched into a happy smile.

He raised his hand and patted Xia Feng, "Don't eat, watch a good show."

As he spoke, Xia Heng took out a imaging device that he had removed from Guardian 7100 from his pocket, placed him on the negotiating table in front of everyone, and waited quietly for the reply there.

After simple fiddling on Xia Heng's side, the current situation of the City Lord's Mansion in Otto City can be seen at a glance.Even because the guardian 7100 overlooked the earth in the air, they also experienced what is called God's perspective.

I saw the city lord Otto, who was supposed to be sitting on the throne that symbolized the city lord, at this time, like a refugee crawling out of the battlefield, his face was ashamed and terrified.

A lot of people dressed as guards lay scattered around, all crying with their arms and legs in their arms, completely incapacitated in fighting.

Because it was a screen transmission, I don't know what he said.Fortunately, there is Otto City, a conscientious messenger, and the communication runes in his hands give the scene in front of him an original voice dubbing without any delay.

"Don't dare! I don't dare anymore!"

"I shouldn't take advantage of people's dangers and maliciously raise the price of repair materials, and I shouldn't stop those adventurers who want to support them!"

"I was wrong! I will release the people you sent and the adventurers who want to help!"

"I agree to your request! Agree!"

"Do not kill me!--"

"..."

"Damn it! I just said why the team sent out when I borrowed soldiers never returned, and even the news was sent back by your people. It turns out that you were locked up?!"

Xia Feng slapped the table and stood up abruptly, staring fiercely at the envoy from Otto City opposite him, as if he was about to cut him into pieces in the next second.

Xia Heng didn't expect the lord of Otto City to use so many tricks behind his back.

But also understandable.

The former Altin hadn't developed, so it was a dispensable existence for Otto City.

But it's different now. Altin came together, and it caused a huge impact on the economy of Otto City. How could the pampered city lord tolerate this happening.Therefore, he is happy to see the success of Ordin being attacked by monsters, and it is his style to step on it.

The city lords of other cities also had the same idea, but they didn't expect that even if Altin was attacked by monsters, Xia Heng would not be able to share a piece of the cake with Xia Heng.

Seeing that the boss of their group - the lord of Otto City - was beaten into such a miserable state, the others silently looked at each other and chose to reduce their sense of existence.

The emissary of Otto City's haughty expression before suddenly froze on his face, that distorted expression looked as weird as it could be.

"Your city lords have agreed, let's sign."

Xia Feng watched it with relish, and it was no big deal to watch the excitement, so he threw a pen over to the envoy of Otto City who was stunned there.

He took a pen and rolled it on the table twice, and finally fell to the ground with a snap.

"Oh~~ I've used too much force, you can pick it up by yourself~~" Xia Feng deliberately choked his throat with a strange ambiguity.

Xia Heng: "..."

Okay, it's summer breeze.

It doesn't hurt much, it's extremely insulting.

The envoy of Otto City looked angrily at Xia Feng's expression of "I'm just insulting you", and was about to go mad with anger.

But judging from the news from his own city lord, if he doesn't sign, I'm afraid... no, he will definitely end up worse than the city lord!

Their city lord is a powerful man, but he is not!

Xia Heng just wanted to kill him for fun without any reason, and there would be no punishment!This is the privilege of the rich and powerful, and it is also why people have tried their best to change their class since ancient times.

The envoy of Otto City took a few deep breaths, then bent down despondently to pick up the pen that fell on the ground.

Xia Heng glanced sideways at Xia Feng, frowned slightly, but said nothing.

He cast his eyes on the envoys from other cities, "Do you want to sign?"

Several people looked at each other, but decided to struggle.

After all, this treaty is simply a loss of power and humiliation. If they sign it, there will be no good fruit to eat when they go back.

"That... City Lord Xia... Do you think we can... discuss it again?"

"That's right...let's discuss it again..."

These people obviously lack confidence. If you don't listen carefully, you probably won't be able to hear what they are saying.

"Oh."

Xia Heng spit out a word again like alms, and then stopped talking.
