At noon, leond, covered with blood, stumbled down the temple and entered the cave of the witch Portia with the help of two Eagle banshees.

Leond\'s cheeks showed white bones, and his clothes were soaked with blood. The old witch told the witch sarya: "hurry, take off your clothes!"

"OK!" salya began to take off her skirt and was severely kicked by the old witch.

"Who told you to take it off? Take off his clothes!"

Since becoming the master of the valley, leond and the old witch have alienated a lot, because they are cooperative relations, and some conflicts have broken out between the two sides.

We can see that leond has become like this, and the old witch has become the familiar old mother in the past. She wiped the deep bone wounds on leond and asked, "who made you like this?"

"Yes, my master..." leond said with difficulty.

"Typhon, why did he do this to you?"

Leond tried to speak, but was choked by a mouthful of blood.

The old witch helped leond vomit a mouthful of blood. Looking at leond\'s physical condition, she shook her head and said, "child, you can\'t hold on. You must become a three headed dog and help you get through with the body of three headed dogs."

Leond shook his head and said, "I can\'t be a three headed dog. I\'m no longer a three headed dog..."

Archduke sheltai stayed in Longyin city for five days. During these five days, he met the Government Secretary lesio and the second prince tikas. He said a lot of earth moving words, and tikas even shed tears for his words.

Although Archduke bessalu repeatedly reminded that Prince tikas had inherited the throne, Archduke sheltai never changed his words and still called tikas his highness.

Bessalu and lesio are very clear about sheltai\'s ideas. If they know Manda\'s coping strategies, they should make an incisive summary of sheltai\'s attitude at the moment - he\'s talking about gildan! And it\'s serious.

On the fifth day, Archduke bessalu lost his patience. He hoped that sheltai would make his position clear.

The price is very simple. As long as the new king\'s status is recognized, sheltai will get the whole southwest.

This sounds irresistible. The king of Roma road country is to the north. The territory in the south is larger than that in the north. At the same time, it has two territories in the due south and southwest. Sheltai is equal to getting half of the territory of Roma road country.

But sheltai didn\'t buy it: "the southwest and the south are the territory of the kingdom. We are just the ministers of the kingdom. As for who will take care of the territory, it depends on the decision of his majesty."

"Your Majesty is here."

"Wang Du has just held a grand ceremony for succession to the throne, which was blessed by the archbishop."

Besa sank his face and said, "that is to say, do you recognize the false king established by the divine Punisher?"

"Whether it is true or false should not be judged by us. It should be chosen by the people of the kingdom. In that sentence, we are all ministers of the Kingdom and will spare no effort to be loyal to the kingdom."

Sheltai began to talk nonsense again. Bessalu didn\'t want to give him a chance to talk nonsense this time.

"You can only choose one, the real king and the false king of the king, you can only choose one!" bessalu made it clear.

Sheltai smiled and said, "I obey the arrangement of the kingdom."

What a clever sentence, to put it bluntly, is that he listens to whoever wins.

The hall immediately quieted down, and a little chill appeared in besa\'s eyes.

"It\'s a pity that we couldn\'t reach an agreement," Bessa looked at sheltai with her head down and her eyelids rolled. "I think you should know my rules. For me, there are only two kinds of people in the world, one is a friend and the other is an enemy."

Sheltai sighed: "after all these years, you still haven\'t changed. I think you haven\'t forgotten my rules. I don\'t like war, but I\'m not afraid of war. You have many enemies. I don\'t mind being one of them."

After the conversation, the meeting between the two Archduke also ended. On the same day, sheltai left Longyin city with his subordinates, went upstream along the lansha River and embarked on the way back to Miaoyin city.

The lansha river is very wide, and the waves on the water surface are as blue as gemstones. Sitting in the gorgeous cabin, while enjoying songs and dances, while enjoying the waves outside the window, Archduke sheltai fell into meditation.

He didn\'t want to turn against besa, but he didn\'t want the south to be involved in the war of succession to the throne.

As for the conditions offered by bessalu, sheltai didn\'t care at all. The southwest is so poor, what\'s the significance of getting it? What value can Southwest China have besides ore?

Moreover, once the Kingdom falls into chaos, it is also a matter of taking over the southwest at any time. There are only four Marquis threatened. Moritz in parrot city is a soft egg, elmen in Blackwater city is far away from the border, sailin in turbulent city is a man who knows the rules, and webner in bluestone city is a hard bone, but he has no capital to fight against himself with his little strength.

It was bessalu\'s attitude that made him nervous. His troops were slightly inferior to himself, and his grain reserves were not as good as himself, but he had a lot of gold coins. Sheltai\'s attitude towards the southeast was different from that of the southwest. He would collect the surplus grain and cloth from his people at a low price, and then sell them to businessmen in the southeast. While earning the price difference, And get taxes from businessmen.

In other words, he was not worried that bessalu would fight him, but he was worried that bessalu would stop trade. He has trade dependence on bessalu, but bessalu has no dependence on him. The southeast has a long coastline. Bessalu can buy everything he wants from the sea as long as he wants.

We have to find a chance to ease our relationship with bessalu, of course, without getting involved in the war.

After drifting on the river for more than ten days, sheltai returned to Miaoyin City, but found a large number of cargo ships moored in the port outside the city.

These ships are not carrying grain or cloth, but ore.

Sheltai called the officials of the port and asked, "what\'s the matter? Why did they send the ore here? Let them send it to Qingyang City immediately!"

Miaoyin City rarely receives ores, and this is not a place for ironmaking. Ironmaking craftsmen and workshops are concentrated in Qingyang City. It is impossible for sheltai to spend a lot of manpower and material resources to transport these ores.

The port official explained, "Sir, many businessmen were robbed in the brittle stone valley. Their iron ore can\'t be transported to Qingyang City, but can only be transported here by water."

"Was robbed in the brittle rock valley? How is this possible?" sheltai personally issued an order to dafron. Dafron must not rob iron ore merchants. Dafron has been stationed in the brittle rock valley for several years and has never made such a mistake.

"I\'ll ask someone to verify it. Now let the businessmen leave immediately!"

Sheltai turned to leave. Suddenly, a businessman knelt in front of him and said, "Archduke, please accept our minerals. We have no money to hire cars and horses to send them to Qingyang City."

Another businessman knelt down and said, "Sir, this is the last time we do ore business. Marquis Moritz blocked the port. We spent countless efforts to transport these ores here. Please help us."
