"Andifi sent someone to send a message saying that the Iron-clad Castle is prohibited from entering the port of Lingwang City. If you dare to drive in, you will be skinned!"
Li Yinguang just smiled when he heard the description of Butler Golda. Even without Andifei's instructions, he did not want the Castle to enter the port of Lingwang City.
First, just to be cautious, it's not necessary.
Secondly, because it was not safe, King Changling intercepted the Manbach family's armored city formation in the middle of the night. Who knows what he had in mind.
What's more, Li Yinguang has never thought of staying in Changling County for a long time. If the Manbach family's armored city formation does not leave, the Castle's armored city will leave on its own.
"Andifi has lost the command of the Manbach family's armored city formation, which is both a good thing and a bad thing for us." Li Yinguang said softly.
Gu Liyan asked in confusion: "Why is it a good thing?"
Li Yinguang looked at her and smiled: "In the entire Manbach family, who knows us best? In other words, who knows me best? It's Andife!"
After finishing speaking, he said to the housekeeper Godar: "Reply to Andifi, the Castle Iron Armor City is stationed outside Lingwang City and will never enter without orders." After a slight pause, he continued: "Send someone into Lingwang City.
Ask about the price of 'black fuel'!"
The housekeeper Goda was stunned for a moment and scratched his head, as if he wanted to ask but didn't dare.
Li Yinguang knew what they were thinking. He looked out the window at the 'Lingwang City' not far away and said, "Do you want to ask, why are you asking about the black fuel in Lingwang City when there are so many black fuel reserves in the fuel warehouse?"
The price of fuel?”
Butler Goda nodded: "Yes!"
Li Yinguang said: "First of all, I want to know whether someone is manipulating the skyrocketing price of black fuel in Manbach Town, or is it not just Manbach Town where the price of black fuel is skyrocketing? Secondly, for us, black fuel is far from the
It’s not enough, we need to buy more!”
"Understood!"
Butler Golda turned and walked outside.
In extraordinary times, the style of doing things should not be too procrastinating. Unlike normal times, it doesn't matter if you relax and tighten for a while.
On the wall of Lingwang City, Bai Youxuan and the old woman behind her looked at the Manbach family's armored formation slowly entering the city and entering the port. They all breathed a sigh of relief, with smiles on their faces.
"Look, madam, there is an untouched armored city outside!" The old woman pointed in the direction of the armored city, the ancient castle outside the city, and said with a frown.
The other six armored ships of the Manbach family all sailed into the inner port of Lingwang City, but this armored ship was the only one parked outside without moving, which was inevitably a bit eye-catching.
Bai Youxuan closed her eyes slightly and said, "Send someone to ask King Changling to find out what's going on!"
"yes!"
The men under his command took the order and left quickly.
Si Huateng, the king of Changling, looked at the armored city parked outside the city, and couldn't help but wonder in his heart. He didn't understand what the Manbach family was up to.
The clan elder, Anxiong and others also discovered abnormalities in the rear in the Battle Ax flagship city.
"Elder of the clan, you see how this happened. Taking advantage of the fact that she is Lord Manbach's daughter, Andifei not only doesn't take you seriously in daily life, but she also wants to take advantage of King Changling at this time. She is so ignorant.
A little more light and heavy!" An Xiong bent down behind the clan elder and said, making a fuss.
In their opinion, Li Yinguang did not have the courage to disobey the orders of the Manbach family. He only dared to do so because of what message Andifi had conveyed.
As Andifei’s third husband, Andifei and Li Yinguang are designated to wear the same pair of pants!
"Tell someone to pass on my order and order the Castle to enter the inner port of Lingwang City!"
The clan elder frowned, snorted slightly with the same displeasure on his face, and ordered.
An Xiong's face flashed with gloating. Not only did he have a grudge against Andifei, but he also had a grudge against Li Yinguang on the Castle. Now it depends on what the other party will do. Disobeying orders and disrespecting them means not giving face to the elders of the clan.
, even if the clan elders won't give him anything now, they will never give Li Yinguang anything good to eat in the future.
"Master, there is an order from Battle Ax Flagship City, asking us to drive into the port of Lingwang City immediately." Butler Golda walked over quickly and asked for advice.
Li Yinguang sat on the metal chair in the control room, tilted his head and thought for a while, then shook his head: "Tell them, just say that there is a problem with the smelting furnace of the Castle and it needs to be repaired on the spot. We will not enter the Lingwang City port for the time being!"
Butler Godar hesitated for a moment and asked: "What if the people in the Tomahawk flagship city insist on forcing us to enter the port?"
Li Yinguang raised the corners of his mouth and said, "Ignore it!"
No matter how tough the Castle is, the problem is that there are many factions in the Manbach family's armored city formation, and they are not harmonious. Regardless of whether Li Yinguang and Andi Fei are on the same front, outsiders can
In the eyes, they are all members of the same family, grasshoppers on a rope.
The clan elders, An Xiong, and a group of senior personnel in the Manbach family's armored city formation descended from the armored city to the port. Outside, the castle's armored city still did not move at all.
Changling King Si Huateng and his wife Bai Youxuan, as well as many officials from Lingwang City, personally welcomed him. They were very generous and at least made the clan elders, An Xiong and others feel very face-saving.
"Elder Anhong, Princess Andifei, this is my wife!" Changling Wang Sihuateng first introduced Bai Youxuan behind him with a smile.
Bai Youxuan smiled and saluted, looking sexy and solemn without being disrespectful.
Even Andy Fei was a little surprised. They didn't expect Mrs. Changling Wang to be so mature and beautiful. Her charming appearance almost made her unable to control herself. She fell in love with her at first sight.
The original anger in his heart was diluted a lot by the appearance of Mrs. Changling Wang.
After exchanging polite greetings, Changling Wang Sihuateng pointed towards the Iron Armored Castle parked outside the city, and asked with a little doubt: "Did something happen to the Iron Armored City outside?"
An Hong, the elder of the clan, looked somewhat embarrassed, but he couldn't say much in front of outsiders.
Anxiong rolled his eyes and said with a smile: "The armored city outside is the car of Princess Andifei's third husband. As for why it stopped outside the city and did not come in, we are not too sure. I'm afraid it will take some time."
Just ask Princess Andife!"
The words were kicked like a ball to Andi Fei.
Andi Fei frowned slightly and stared at Anxiong with a sullen face. She did not hide her murderous intention at all. If she had the chance, she would definitely kill this guy.
"Husband-in-law? Has the princess married a husband-in-law again? Why didn't our Lingwang City receive any news? You know we are 'neighbors'. It's really not good not to notify you of such a big event!" Madam Bai Youxuan answered with a smile,
He said with a puzzled look on his face.
Andi Fei forced a smile and shook her head: "It's not like we're marrying a matchmaker. After all, we haven't gone to court yet. If it was a big deal, why didn't we notify the Prince and his wife of Changling County?"
"Oh, so that's it!" Mrs. Bai Youxuan smiled and nodded. She was not overbearing and gave people a feeling of understanding.
Changling King Sihuateng said: "Princess Andifei, why doesn't your husband's armored city enter the port of Lingwang City? Is it because you look down on me?"
The old trick was repeated, and the words were basically the same as in the Battle Ax flagship city.
The lady Bai Youxuan standing next to her frowned slightly. King Changling still looked a little impatient, as if he was afraid that others would not enter the port.
Andi Fei, the clan elder An Hong, and even the head of the logistics department An Xiong and others are not brainless people. If the Manbach family's armored city formation does not come in, he said that he would not give face and looked down on him. It was okay to say that, but now the Manbach family
Basically, all the armored city formations have moved in. Only the castle, the armored city, is still outside, and it is still so tough. Is there really something fishy inside?
When the words came out, King Changling realized that something was wrong, but he couldn't take them back after he said them. He could only continue: "If there is a problem in the Iron Armor City, you can enter the port to deal with it. There are people parked outside the city gate.
, what’s the point?”
Andy Fei said calmly: "His armored city contains a large amount of fuel and supplies, and its ability to turn around is relatively weak. It is a freight armored city, so we will not let them enter the city for now. If King Changling feels that it is far from the city gate,
If it’s too close, I’ll send someone to tell them to stay back.”
After a slight pause, he continued: "And our Manbach family's armored city formation cannot stay in Lingwang City for too long, and it is impossible to say that it will leave tomorrow!"
Directly tell King Changling, clan elder An Hong and others to leave tomorrow, and don’t forget the mission of the Manbach family’s armored city formation.
Seeing this, Changling Prince Si Huateng didn't have much to say. He exchanged glances with his wife Bai Youxuan, so he could only invite the Manbach family members into the Ling Prince's palace first.
Although the Ancient Castle Iron Armored City did not enter the Lingwang City port, it did not affect the personnel in the Ancient Castle Iron Armored City entering and exiting the Lingwang City.
Send someone to find a random grocery store in Lingwang City, and you can find out the local prices.
"Master, the price of black fuel in Lingwang City has also increased, but compared to Manbach Town, the fluctuation is basically not very large." Butler Goda came over and reported.
Li Yinguang asked thoughtfully: "How much has it increased compared to previous years?"
The housekeeper Goda thought for a while and said: "It has probably increased by about three times!"
Li Yinguang frowned. It was okay that the price of black fuel in Manbach Town had skyrocketed. It might have been controlled by someone. But if the price of black fuel also surged several times in areas other than Manbach Town, that would be a bit abnormal.
You must know that black fuel is a daily necessity, not only needed in the armored city, but wherever there is a 'smelting furnace', black fuel must be used.
"The amount of black fuel in Manbach Town has increased dozens of times, while that in Lingwang City has only tripled." Li Yinguang said with twinkling eyes: "In this case, you are sending a few people to find out if anyone has been purchasing and hoarding black fuel in large quantities recently."
"good!"
The butler Goda turned around and left without asking why.
Gu Liyan, who was standing by the observation window in the control room, came over and asked with a frown: "Are you suspecting that someone is hoarding large amounts of black fuel across regions?"
Li Yinguang said: "This possibility cannot be ruled out!"
Gu Liyan shook his head: "This is basically impossible. Black fuel is produced in basically every region, and it is not a very rare material."
Li Yinguang said calmly: "But 'black fuel' is also a daily necessity. For the Iron Armored City, without fuel, it loses its kinetic energy. No matter how high the price is, you have to buy it!"
Gu Liyan frowned again: "The empire will not sit back and watch businessmen unscrupulously hoard black fuel and seek huge profits. This will cause panic!"
Li Yinguang looked at her, smiled and said, "What if the person hoarding black fuel is the empire itself?"
Gu Liyan: “…”
If the Obsidian Empire were to go to war with the Dragon Clan, black fuel would be an indispensable military supply. It wouldn't be millions of tons, but tens of millions of tons would be enough.
How many armored cities are there in the entire Imperial Legion? How much black fuel do these armored cities consume every day? If the empire collects and reserves black fuel on a large scale, it is not difficult to explain the skyrocketing price of black fuel.
