Chapter 265 The Change of Phoenix 3
Food prices are decreasing, and relief grain depots have been opened in slums. All the materials in Phoenix have been monopolized and acquired by the Magic Research Association at a high price. The merchants's earnings are shining, and they are also allowed to freely leave Phoenix and move to the hinterland of Missy!
At this time, the second prince can hardly stay inside the association! In recent days, he has frequently appeared on various social occasions and dances held by nobles, and his smile can often be seen.
This is a hint that the Wick family incident is like a small episode, and there is no sense of tit-for-tat against any forces. The Wick family's money is filling the vaults of all noble families, and various extravagant activities have reappeared among the nobles. Those lifestyles that have been broken for half a year have defeated the nobles. The bottom line of defense.
"How long has it been since I drank such a good quality red wine?" At the dance, a middle-aged nobleman with a red face cherished the aftertaste.
Another elderly nobleman held two beautiful young women and sat on the top sofa. Two women in gorgeous skirts were touched and gasped! The elderly nobleman** smiled and said, "Only this kind of life can make us find ourselves!"
The two met and smiled. Presumably, the old nobles in the capital Les Pica City did not live freely, and only in Phoenix can they enjoy such a life! This is all brought to them by the second prince of the empire!
Every noble family has a document that says that they can leave Phoenix at any time, but if most of the nobles who have lost their economic resources go to other cities, don't they have to live a life of food and clothing? In this war, the nobles are no different from ordinary people, especially after half a lifetime of luxury life, they suddenly fell into the trough, and no one is willing to give up the current preferential treatment!
The previous living habits made most of the nobles like taking drugs. Once lost, that feeling is self-evident!
Of course, there are also a small number of nobles who remain rational and seize the opportunity to quickly leave Phoenix, and even leave the Missouri Empire. They know that life is not important in luxury. Even if they live as ordinary people in other countries, the hope of living is much better than being trapped in Phoenix! They even plan to pass through Suai and go from the sea to the Longteng Empire. Only a powerful country can ensure their personal safety.
However, 90% of Phoenix's aristocrats decided to stay here and return to their former life, which inspired them to a huge "drug addiction"! Even if they are going to die the next minute, they can't wake them up from their indulgence.
And the second prince Hurley has become the god of all nobles and merchants! As long as the second prince is still in Phoenix, as long as the Magic Research Association still holds the power of the city, no one can destroy the current state!
Hurley's body was very tired, but his spirit became more and more trembling. He saw the change of Phoenix. Whenever he walked into the street, the citizens bowed to him, and people were full of smiles, as if the upcoming war was just a walk.
The big family that is still watching in the city has thrown olive branches to the second prince Heli. The number of their tentative unmarried wives has reached 13, and there are more than 30 women with various anonymous points!
Hally took a sip of the top red wine that he was a little bored with, maintained a numb smile, and talked and laughed with the so-called bigwigs around him in Phoenix.
And under this very affinity face, Hurley sneered. His thoughts have turned to his eldest brother Ao himself. Now Phoenix is closely guarding the headquarters of the Magic Research Association. Unless the emperor of Missil and his father come forward, no one can shake his current status!
At this time, the eldest prince Auburn was resting in an ordinary poor wooden shed. The army led by him was stationed directly without the permission of the city guard. The threat was very clear. He expected that his brother would not dare to challenge him, and the two sides would not invade each other and confront each other.
Auburn only needs to wait for a good opportunity to let the whole army enter Phoenix. At that time, Hurley will do what he doesn't say! And this opportunity seems to be close at hand, but now it is out of reach.
If he really occupies the whole Phoenix by force, then his future emperor's road will leave a great stain! If Helly's power is blatantly deprived, the rest of the princes who remain in the city of Lespica will inevitably attack themselves on this basis.
Although Auburn is not afraid, he is worried that his father will lose trust in himself because of this matter. Until now, the situation in Phoenix has been settled, and Auburn has lost the opportunity to control Phoenix! And it is impossible to control Phoenix by force because of the hearts of the people!
Oburn didn't expect his brother to have such a unique vision. Can't he be pointed out by a master?
The eldest prince sat on a chair surrounded by three confidant generals.
"*! It's not too late. We should contact Marshal Gubitqi immediately to occupy Phoenix by force!" A general next to Auburn said.
The other two generals did not express their opinions and obviously agreed with the proposal.
Oburn sighed, "I'm going to see my brother! Let's see what he plans for? Now Phoenix can't be occupied by force. The Magic Research Association, and even Hurley, are the hearts of the people, and we have lost the foundation of our foothold!"
Of course, the three confidant generals understand the current situation, but if they can't fight, the army will lose their initiative in Phoenix. How can an uncontrollable city provide strong assistance to the army?
"Report!" The sound of the soldiers came from outside the door.
"Come in!" Auburn said.
"General! The news from Lespica City!" The messenger said seriously.
"Ret read!" Auburn was a little excited. His letter to the palace had been sent for more than a week, mentioning the news that the Wick family had been copied. Auburn was waiting for his father's reply to him. However, due to the existence of the transmission array, the response that should have been received in a short time has been delayed for so long, which really makes Auburn anxious.
"Your Majesty is critically ill! Royal brother, come back quickly! - Royal sister Weilin!" After reading the contents, the messenger looked very ugly and looked at the second god of army in Missil, his loyalty to *, the crown prince of the empire - Oben, "General, there is nothing else!"
Auburn nodded, and his heart was very sour. He thought that his father's body could last for a year or two, but he didn't expect the current situation.
"General, and a letter from Gubich!" The summoner handed two letters to Auburn with both hands, "The marshal ordered that you can only be watched by one person!"
Auburn waved his hand, and three senior generals and a messenger left the room. Auburn covered his eyes. He was almost sure that the reason why he had not received a reply from his father for so long, now his father should be more or less auspicious!
After wiping away the tears that came out slightly, the eldest prince Auburn opened the letter of Marshal Gubiki.
After reading it carefully, Auburn sighed secretly. Unexpectedly, the marshal had already analyzed the situation in the palace, but he did not expect that this letter and the news that his father was critically ill would be conveyed to him at the same time.
Marshal Gubić allowed himself to return to the city of Lempika and lead the royal forbidden army if necessary to prevent other princes in the palace from launching a coup, while the marshal would lead the army to fight against Longteng's army. The letter also mentioned the original promise that the whole army would be unconditionally loyal to Auburn. If the emperor is in good health, it would be better. But once the emperor has died, Auburn needs to vigorously control the situation in the palace.
Missiri can't fail any more. Prince Auburn's accession to the throne is a great encouragement to the whole army!
Auburn's eyes blurred again, and he took out a lion-patterned token from his arms, which was the military talisman in charge of the imperial army. Although his father did not show much affection for himself, he gave him such an important military talisman before his expedition, which is enough to show his father's trust in him, which is why Auburn has not taken action to deal with his brother Hurley's problems.
Auburn folded the letter of the royal sister and wrote another letter. The two letters were put in an envelope and called the summoner.
"Give this to the second prince Heli and ask him to dismantle it in person! And tell him that Auburn didn't take good care of him! He has suffered over the years!" The eldest prince said depressively that he had no time to see Heli now. He hoped that his true feelings could impress this insignificant imperial brother!
"A letter from the eldest prince?" Hurley's eyes are hazy, and his pale face is full of rosy red. The appearance of the second prince can be said to be very outstanding. The residents of Phoenix are shocked every time they see him.
Hley Hall** exhales a heavy breath of wine, and he has really drunk a lot these days!
Hally looked at his brother Auburn's handwriting, climbed to his cheek with a sm smit and said to himself, "Auburn, I didn't expect you to be soft one day!"
A senior magician standing by the bed looked at the president's fatigue. The reason why the second prince was so tired was for the magic association! The senior magician said, "President, there is also a message from the other party!"
"Oh? What's the content?" Hurley became more and more happy. He lay with his eyes closed and refreshed, looking forward to it.
"He said he didn't take good care of you!" The magician whispered for fear of disturbing the president's rest.
Helley suddenly opened his eyes and didn't take good care of himself? You go down first!" The second prince's tone implied anger.
After watching the magician leave the room, Hurley sat up from ** and held the letter tightly in his hand. He knew what the eldest prince Auburn meant! Now I think of talking with me. Over the years, you have ignored me, but have you ever regarded me as your brother?
The eldest prince and the second prince of Missile had the same mother, which was obtained by the emperor of Missile when he was young. When the emperor was 35 years old, the two princes were about ten years old! The young emperor is very worried that if he is not as good as middle age, will the two grown princes put their eyes on their thrones?
