After a brief discussion, just as Yang Ling and Haier Beili were about to disperse, the guard Agu Su strode in, "Your Excellency, Lord Pig Sutorov has arrived!"

  Bring pigs to visit?

  Hai'er Beili almost spat out the jasmine tea in her mouth, although according to the intelligence in her hand, she knew that Stov was unpopular in Weisen Town, but she never thought that his image in people's hearts would be so bad. After the unexpected event, she quickly covered her face with a veil, and before Yang Ling took control of the situation, she did not want to expose her identity in front of outsiders.

  Isn't Stoff going to hold on any longer and is preparing to make another fortune?

  Yang Ling secretly calculated the meaning of Stoff's visit. During this time, the weather was getting colder and colder, coupled with the sneak attack by the Russians, Stoff was not having an easy time. According to the intelligence from the parrot squad, Stoff had no choice but to increase the intensity and scope of taxation again, but it was like trying to put out a fire with a cup of water, and every day felt like a year.

  Soldiers come to resist, water comes to cover with earth!

  After a moment's thought, Yang Ling ordered Agu Su to bring Stoff in. Last time he had used the installment payment method to shirk it off, and this time when they met, there would still be a way to make Stoff not get any benefits.

  Soon, under Agu's lead, the pale and exhausted Stov strode in with large steps. Unexpectedly, apart from a group of guards, there were also several ordinary soldiers carrying boxes.

  "Yang Ling brothers, long time no see, business has been pretty good lately?" As soon as he entered the hall, Stoff forced out a few smiles.

  "Alas, it's not good, really bad!" Yang Ling sighed with a pretentious air, "Recently, I made a deal in the country of Livensa and lost big time. My family is almost out of rice to cook at home. Just thinking of asking Lord Master for some help!"

  Is there no rice left?

  Yang Ling's words left everyone speechless, their faces pale, hearts racing, and people sweating profusely. Even Hai Er Bei Li was no exception. As for the usually calm Stov, he was stunned for half a day, unable to regain his composure.

  Yang Ling smiled faintly and ordered the servants to serve tea. He was not in a hurry, not at all, from talking about why the weather was so cold to the health benefits of drinking tea, he went on and on. Several times, he deliberately interrupted Stoff, who was eager to speak but had to hold back, making him sweat profusely.

  "Yang Ling brothers, to thank you for your support all along, I brought some small gifts this time!" Taking advantage of Yang Ling's moment of drinking tea, Stoff ordered the soldiers to open the boxes they had carried.

  Yang Ling fixed his gaze. Inside, there were all sorts of standard-issue weapons, apart from the black armor worn by the soldiers, and quite a few swords as well. The boxes were very large. Basically, each box was only half full, it seemed that Stov had indeed gone to great lengths.

  No news is good news; no news means someone's up to no good!

  Yang Ling smiled coldly and instructed the old butler, Mu Er Bo Qi, to take the gift. Then he lowered his head and drank tea. He deliberately pretended to be stupid, not asking about Stov's intentions, making this originally arrogant lord anxious and restless.

  After waiting for half a day, Yang Ling only urged himself to drink tea. Stoff was depressed and gritted his teeth before finally swallowing his pride, "Brother Yang Ling, the Ruskians are brutal and violent, repeatedly ambushing our Bantou Empire's soldiers, and even sparing no ordinary residents in the town. For the empire's honor, for the stability of Weisen Territory, we must think of a way to capture them all at once!"

  For the honor of the empire?

  Yang Ling smiled coldly. He finally understood the wishful thinking of this pig, Stov, and that he was just like the Russians, hoping to send troops to assist in the war. Unfortunately, this empire was imposed on the Visen people, and no residents would fight for it, let alone be cannon fodder for him.

  Looking at Stoffel with pleading eyes, he thought for a moment and then had an idea.

  "Yes, the Ross people are indeed doomed to death. If there were three thousand iron-clad guards, I would have caught them all at once!" Seeing Stov's joyful expression, Yang Ling changed his tone, "Alas, unfortunately, my family has an order and I will be leaving Visen Town soon. What a pity, I'm willing but unable to do anything about it!"

  Are you leaving Weisen Town right away?

  Stov was almost petrified, he thought Yang Ling would haggle with him, the lion opened his mouth wide. But no matter how hard he tried, he never expected that Yang Ling would leave Weisen Town immediately.

  Is this just his excuse?

  After the shock, Stov forced himself to calm down quickly, "Yang Ling brothers, I don't know what your family is doing, why are you in such a hurry to summon you back?"

  "Alas, failure, failure! I'm too ashamed to say it!" After shaking his head, Yang Ling continued: "Others go out to gain experience, either making great progress in their cultivation or obtaining a piece of land, at the very least they can earn a full pot. Only I have accomplished nothing. I can only return and accept my punishment, failure ah!"

  Since everyone thought he was from a wealthy and noble family, Yang Ling simply went along with it. While others were low-key, pretending to be a pig eating a tiger, he pretended to be a tiger eating a pig. In fact, not only could he intimidate people with ulterior motives, but at critical moments, there were often unexpected effects.

  On the continent of Tyron, any family with a long history would have its members go out and gain experience after coming of age. So when Yang Ling said this, Stov didn't doubt him at all. Even Kudou and Haili Bellier didn't make an exception, believing that Yang Ling was indeed a disciple from some big family who came to gain experience. The difference was that while Stov was half-believing and half-doubting about the way Yang Ling had to leave, they knew that Yang Ling was talking nonsense again.

  If it were when he had just arrived in Weissen, and knew that Yang Ling was going to leave, Stov would have been overjoyed, and could have obtained the magnificent Weissen Castle without any effort. But if Yang Ling were to leave now, it would be adding insult to injury, and the Rosso's sneak attack would likely become even more unscrupulous. Whether he himself could hold on until reinforcements arrived, was something even heaven didn't know.

  "Yang Ling brothers, I draw a piece of land with a radius of one thousand miles in the northwest for you, and appoint you as my guardian knight. You stay to help me deal with those detestable Russians, how about it?" After hesitating for a moment, in order to complete the task of occupying Visen Town and more importantly to save his own life, Stoff had no choice but to grit his teeth and agree.

  Yang Ling's forces are vast, with his assistance, if not to wipe out the Russians in one fell swoop, at least they can hold on until the arrival of reinforcements. Of course, for now, let's take advantage of Yang Ling, after defeating the Russians and firmly controlling Weisen Town, there will be plenty of ways to make him spit out the fat meat that has reached his mouth.

  A territory of one thousand li in circumference?

  Not to mention Yang Ling, even the leader of the barbarians, Garuk, shook his head in disdain, thinking that Stoff was dumber than a Saro pig. Yang Ling only needed to join forces with the Ruo people, defeat the Bantu people who were living in poverty, and he could become the lord of Weisen himself. Even an idiot wouldn't agree to Stoff's terms, working hard for years only to gain a mere 1,000-mile radius of land.

  "No problem, it's an honor for me to serve Lord and fight for the Empire!"

  Everyone shook their heads in disdain, but unexpectedly, Yang Ling thought for a moment and agreed. In an instant, Stov's party was excited, while Kasi and Garuk were stunned, their mouths wide open enough to fit an egg. Only Good and Haili Bell remained silent, vaguely guessing Yang Ling's thoughts.
