Chapter 55 The Secret Plot of Those Who Accomplish Great Things

  This is probably the third update today, I hope everyone can help and push up the ranking, thank you!

  Nina instructed the butler that these people could move about freely within the duke's mansion and that their requests should be met as much as possible. If the butler was unable to do so, he should come directly to her.

  Atom immediately found Nia and requested that a laboratory be built in his current residence. Nia had Atom make out a list, then began purchasing with the money collected from Aola. In Nia's words: "He was your find, of course you have to take responsibility for the expenses."

  Seeing Oola's gloomy face, she smiled and said: "However, in the future when there are profits, you can extract a portion of it as dividends."

  Therefore, in order to supervise every single copper plate and not let it go to waste, and for the unpredictable benefits in the future, Euler fully exerted his subjective initiative, just like individual entrepreneurs during the initial period of reform and opening-up, closely watching Atom without letting him relax at all, and soaking himself in his laboratory every day.

  On this day, thanks to the massive influx of funds, the Governor's Office of Xiniya finally recovered from a series of blows and abandoned its usual strategy of hiding its light under a bushel, revealing its true ferocious face as the master of the Xiniya branch.

  As Ye Feng and Nia returned from the slave market, a serious-looking guard marched in lockstep to the city gate and posted a notice on the side of the gate. At first, only a few people gathered around, but soon more and more people crowded together, discussing the contents of the notice with each other until they blocked the city gate.

  A team of armed guards and servants surrounded a carriage as it arrived, forced to stop at the congested city gate.

  "What's wrong, why have we stopped?" Dobra asked her steward gruffly from inside the carriage.

  "A group of people are blocking the road ahead, sir. Our carriage cannot pass." The steward said respectfully.

  "What's going on? Go take a look." Dolores raised her head and took a glance before instructing.

  "Yes, sir." A moment later, the butler returned to report: "It's an announcement issued by the Governor. The Governor plans to expand the city guard and recruit 1,500 soldiers."

  "Is Xisu going to expand his army?" Dobela's face immediately turned gloomy, with a fierce glint in her eyes, and she said word by word from the corner of her mouth.

  "Turn towards Osho's estate." Dobella instructed.

  "But... The lady is waiting in town..." said the housekeeper.

  "Shut up and do as I say." Dobella shouted angrily.

  "Yes, master."

  Dobella's carriage had just entered the manor when Osyth was already waiting at the door. Without even waiting for the carriage to come to a complete stop, Dobella jumped down from it.

  He shouted tensely at Oedipus: "Xexu is expanding its army, Xexu is expanding its army."

  Oswald waved his hand in annoyance and said, "Calm down, are you going to shout here and let everyone know? Follow me."

  Oswald led Dobra into the study, Dobra picked up a bottle of wine on the table and poured herself a large glass, then drank it all in one gulp, wiped her mouth, and only then said to Oswald: "Have you seen the notice at the city gate? Sis wants to expand the city guard by 1,500 men, he's going to deal with us."

  Oswald sat down slowly and said, "I've also heard the announcement on the city gate. It says it's to defend against pirates and bandits, after all they're too bold, daring to attack the city and raid the young duke. Expanding the city guard is necessary. There isn't a single word that says it's for dealing with us."

  "Alright, stop telling me these useless things... Pirates are our..." Dobela shouted in a flurry, then suddenly stopped, staring with her green bean-like eyes, looking around before saying in a low voice: "Pirates are what we've brought upon ourselves."

  Oswald smiled calmly and said, "Don't worry, my friend. Those pirates have no idea who they're getting their information from. You're overthinking this, my friend."

  "Hmph!" Dobella sneered: "You know, I know, and I think Xisi also knows in her heart."

  Augustus said, "He's clear and so what? Without evidence, he can't do anything to us. The city guard can only be used as a ceremonial team even if it expands. My friend, you're blinded by jealousy. I've said it before, women are the root of all evil."

  Dobela's face turned bright red with anger, and he shouted exasperatedly: "Shut up, you have no right to say that about me."

  Ou Xiu's face suddenly changed color, he slapped the table and stood up, saying: "You... forget it."

  He suppressed his anger and sat down again, saying to Dolabella: "We don't discuss this. Compared with expanding the city guard, I know some more useful news. That Ye Feng and Nia just went to the slave market today, they spent three thousand gold coins there."

  "Good heavens!" exclaimed Mrs. Doolittle, "what on earth are they buying so many people for? Are they going to open up more land?"

  Osho shook his head and said, "No! They only bought six people, the six Patian blacksmiths. Those six men were truly great Damascus craftsmen, I was also tempted by them, but the price was too high, and they weren't of much use to me."

  Dobella thought for a moment, unclear about the reason, and asked: "Why did they buy those irons?"

  Oswald said: "Who knows what, anyway it won't be for making nails and horseshoes. The most likely is that they want them to manufacture weapons."

  Dobella laughed and said: "For whom? Even if you turn Sis's ducal mansion upside down, you can't gather a hundred people."

  Oswald snorted and said, "It seems that people have forgotten the prestige of the previous generation of Xinya Dukes. At that time, he only relied on a guard of 300 people to shake Norman City and the entire Xinya Province.

  Before, Sis didn't have any money, so his guards had been gradually decreasing, even the city guard of Xinya City was reduced. Since that mysterious Ye Feng came, Sis became richer and richer, not to mention other things, just the auction of exclusive operating rights brought him tens of millions of gold coins. Now he is willing to spend a lot of money to buy those few blacksmiths, it's clear that he wants to restore the prestige of his ancestors. This is what we need to worry about. Moreover, they now have that knight Ye Feng, if Sis has a cavalry like Ye Feng, we are not even a match for him."

  Dobella paced back and forth in the room restlessly, asking: "Then what shall we do, just wait for them to come knocking on our door?"

  Oswald said with a hateful tone: "Of course not. The longer we wait, the stronger Xisi will become, and we must take the initiative. This time, we must get rid of that Ye Feng."

  Since Porcus abducted Diana, the woman didn't get her hands on it, but was instead played by Ye Feng. Porcus' alternative heavy taste spread throughout Xiniya Province and Norman City in an instant.

  This Reinhardt from a different timeline, Oshūsu, is not good at fighting but excels at making money. As a result, his reputation is not good despite having actual ability. In the nobility, he has always had a bad reputation and was ridiculed in Norma as a "human-making machine". By the time of Pōshūsu's generation, this family tradition has been passed down even further.

  Nowadays, a popular joke in Normandy goes like this: Osiris will surely have a great future, Laozi only likes women to be successful, Sunzi even likes men, who knows what kind of success that would bring.

  So above, Osho is deeply resentful of Yefeng.

  "After those pirates were defeated, aren't they still wandering around within the province of Xinya? We just need to pay attention to Xi Si's movements and wait for a time when he leaves the city with fewer guards. Then we'll give them a message and everything will be taken care of by them. Last time there was the city wall and reinforcements, this time let's lure him out into the wilderness alone, see who can still save him."

  Dobella grunted and said, "Damn it, how are we supposed to know when he leaves the city? Besides, it's impossible for him to go out without his guards."

  Oswald smiled strangely at Dobella and said slowly, "Actually, there's a very simple way, but I don't know if you're willing. Your newlywed wife and Sis..."

  "You......" Dobela's face instantly became ferocious, pointing at Oshus, so angry that she couldn't say a word.

  "A great man does not concern himself with trivialities." Osho gazed steadily into his eyes, saying coldly.

  Dobella was taken aback, suddenly got up and paced back and forth in the study, her expression changing constantly, sometimes angry, sometimes anxious, sometimes ashamed.

  Augustus sat calmly and patiently watched Dobella's intense mental struggle there, knowing that Dobella would definitely agree to this suggestion.

  "This damned fat man, for his own ambition, can even sell out his father's grave, let alone a mere woman. But in the end, he will get nothing, only to be a tool of Sula." Oseus thought to himself. He gently swirled the wine cup in his hand, the grape wine inside as red as blood.

  Finally, Dobela gritted her teeth and said resolutely: "Alright, let's do it this way. This time I'll take care of the work at my place, you go contact those wandering bandits. It can't be that every time something dangerous happens, it's always me who does it."

  "This fat guy has opened up! But it doesn't matter." Oshus thought. He replied: "Good. The sooner the better."

  That Xushen fellow, I think technology is developed step by step. If the protagonist were to take the stage in a Seed warship and open up with an antimatter ion beam cannon,

  That doesn't make sense anymore, does it?
