1937 Counterattack (2)
"Your Majesty, do you need to go down and negotiate now?" Varisian was a little impatient
"No, the wine glass in the fat man's hand turned, and he glanced at Tang Ruyue on the stage, Tang Ruyue, who was proudly independent in the petals in the sky, the wide and long cloud sleeves on a pair of jade arms hung down, like a butterfly spreading its wings, and the jade sword beauty, that was a peerless style, and said to Varisian
"I have already arranged that the matter of your performance today will spread throughout Lisbento tomorrow, and this is a signal to the other party,
The other party wants to attract the attention of the top management of the empire, and the empire has also said that it has sent people, and the other party will know that if they don't take the initiative again, they will be more and more distant from the mineral trade rights they want to get, and naturally they will not be able to sit down steadily.
"You know, in the negotiation between the two parties, taking the initiative to find the door and the other party is in a hurry to find the door, the meaning represented is completely two different things! Only when the other party is in a hurry to find the door, will all the hole cards be revealed!" The fat man's voice paused, looking at the wine in the wine glass like a wave, and took a sip before sneering at the corner of his mouth, "We must let the other party know what they want to do, we know very well, we can talk, when to talk, how to talk, a qiē is up to us!" Since we want to change our business into sellers, we naturally can't blame us for pursuing profit maximization! In this matter, everyone tacitly understands it!" "Yes, my subordinates understand!"
Varisien nodded knowingly,
On the one hand, you can take this opportunity to establish relations with the Tang people in Central Belgium, and on the other hand, you can also grab more guarantees for the imperial merchants on the Sino-Bienian trade routes, and open up more trade routes.
I just don't know what kind of expression it will be if the Tang beauties below who are still performing hard to attract the attention of the high-level of the empire, knowing that Yiqiē has long been seen by the empire and has been dug a big hole, what kind of expression will it be, the corners of Varisin's eyebrows glanced at it. In fact, this Central Beauties also has a charm, although it is not very in line with Obarro's aesthetics, but such a very good-looking sword dance can also add a lot of points, since the other party has chosen the seductive road of color, it is not impossible for His Majesty to kill three birds with one stone,
"Bang, bang, bang!"
Just as the two of them were talking in a low voice, the drum sound accompanied by the rapid sword light gradually weakened, and finally stopped, and the sword light dissipated
Tang Ruyue stood proudly like a fairy. The tip of the sword is facing down, the straight chest is slightly panting and undulating, it is extremely attractive, the sword dance is a ritual before the man goes on the expedition in the Tang clan, and the sword used in the sword dance of the Tang clan is not a light sword in her hand now, but a long-handled wide sword used to fight in the real battle array, even if this is the case, for Tang Ruyue, it is also a very consuming thing. A tidal wave of cheers sounded below, and as a break in between, another beautiful dancer appeared, and the dancer who took over seemed to be a master as well. At first, he didn't show up, just a huge white sand spilled from above the stage,
Just when everyone was feeling impatient about this, the music started. The white sand curtain was in the middle, and a beautiful woman with a graceful figure faintly walked out,
A pair of well-proportioned calves slowly exposed as the veil was pulled up. The fair-skinned crystal is also looming under the white sand, although it is not as thrilling as Tang Ruyue's sword dance, but there is already silence all around, many people are holding their breath, this is a pair of slender and extremely perfect legs, the dancer is a woman with white sand on her face, willow moon eyebrows, eyes like autumn water, enchanting and moving, up and down are beautiful and charming arcs. The dazzling snow white is dizzying, and with the Zhongbia-style gauze skirt as thin as cicada wings raised, the exposed pair of bare feet jumped quickly,
Slender and snow-white, revealing another moving charm
"This woman is really a demon who kills young and old, but it's a pity that she can't see her face!" Varisian saw that his eyes lit up, he loosened his neckline, and couldn't help but feel dry mouth, if Tang Ruyue is a fairy dancing sword, now this white sand woman is a demon women's football team playing fat, such a dance has little impact on the fat man with a firm heart,
He didn't have much interest in retracting his gaze from the masked woman in the white sand, with his eyesight, the other party's layer of white sand was useless, and said with a smile, "This is where the other party is clever, if you can't see the face, you can be all kinds of looks in everyone's hearts, if it is a very ordinary face, I'm afraid that the charm of this foot dance will be greatly reduced!"
The private room he booked is on the second floor, which is not a particularly conspicuous position, it is closer to the left, and the best location is naturally in the middle, the fat man is reluctant to attract the attention of others, the guards stand at the door, this is not an uncommon thing, the second floor with the best viewing position, although not necessarily all powerful people and big businessmen, but at least there is a little bit of family background, now but during the war, tens of thousands of foreign sailors are crowded in Lisbonto, the fish and dragons are mixed, and the forces of all parties occasionally clash, it is very normal to bring a few guards around,
At this time, in the most conspicuous position of the box on the second floor, a handsome young nobleman from Central Belgium and a young nobleman with a business alliance sign were talking about something,
With the establishment of the Sino-Belgian trade route, it is not uncommon to see Central Belgian merchants in the Putau area, but this young Central Belgian nobleman is obviously of a different status, and behind him stands a guard who looks very skilled, and the person he is talking to is not an ordinary merchant, he is the son of Sidney Piga, one of the twelve deacons of the business alliance. Sitting opposite him was a handsome young Central Belgian aristocrat, wearing a white robe in the Central Belgian style, with a face as clean as a feather, revealing the delicate and feminine beauty that the Central Belgian nobles liked to use as a self-metaphor.
What the two of them were talking about was about the iron ore trade
"It's not easy to do, Your Excellency Zhang Tian, although your reputation is very high, and the price you offer is very fair, but what you want is really hot!" Sidney Pica looked at the masked woman on the stage, and said in an ugly tone, "You also know that the empire is still fighting against the Gauls, and all the iron mines flowing to the Gallic line are very strictly controlled, and if you want to ship it out of the empire, even if it is our commercial alliance, at least it needs the double signature and seal of the Ministry of the Interior and the Ministry of Military Affairs of the empire, otherwise it will be regarded as a collaborator and treason!" If the border guards along the way catch it, they will be directly killed!" "Since we can't transport them out openly, why can't we adopt the method of smuggling?"
The young nobleman of Central Bia glanced at Sidney Bijia, smiled at the corner of his mouth, and said with a calm expression, "I heard that the relationship between the business alliance and the border guards is good, can't you use your brains on the border guards? I know that your Sidney family also has some connections in the border guards" "Your Excellency Zhang Tian, you can't talk nonsense like this."
Sidney Pica was startled and quickly interrupted him. It seemed that he was really a little angry, and said, "I know that your Zhang clan is a big clan in the Central Beya Empire, and even controls a section of the border, which can be described as a power covering the sky, but in the Falcon Empire, the imperial military and the commercial alliance are fundamentally different things! The collusion between businessmen and the military is a taboo in the empire!"
Sidney Biga was twenty-four years old, with flaxen-colored hair, bright eyes, and a rather heroic look. With a military atmosphere, the Sidney family was originally a knight family of the Ruierdian Kingdom, and his father Sidney was able to enter the position of the twelve deacons of the Commercial Alliance, representing the interests of the Ruierdian business circle.
According to this Ruierdian merchant who traveled to and from the Sino-Belgian trade line, this Zhang Tian came from the Zhang family, one of the four wealthy families of the Central Belgian Empire, and the Zhang family was quite powerful in the territory of Central Belgium. It is said that the Sidney family is also trying to expand the trade route to Central Bia, so this Zhang Tian has a special significance, and the price proposed by the other party to buy iron ore is three to four times the market price. The amount is also an astonishing fifteen thousand catties, and the only requirement is to transport it to the border of Central Belgium for delivery, of course, the transportation cost is also completely responsible for the Zhang family.
Listened to Sidney Pika. Zhang Tian, who was sitting opposite, flashed his eyes for a moment, and said affirmatively, "As long as you pass the Gallic realm, our people will respond." I can guarantee you with your reputation that you will be paid enough."
"If you have money to make, it's useless to spend it!"
Sidney Picah shrugged his shoulders and said, "We have iron ore, the quantity is enough, the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Empire, our Sidney family still has some connections, it is not difficult to do it, but the Imperial military, we can't do this, in fact, the empire values the merchants of Central Belgium very much, and the general goods are not embarrassed, but what you want is iron ore,
You know that the Gauls are crazy about lack of iron, and the amount of requirements you need is still so large, using smuggling is the least cost-effective method, the risk is high, and it is easy to run out of people and goods, the cavalry of the imperial border guards are all steppe cavalry, and they are the best at tracking, it is too difficult to get rid of them, even if they enter Gaul, the bandits on the Gallic side will also be moved,
Crossing the Gallic line with such a large amount of iron ore is simply self-defeating, so even smugglers never take the Gallic line"
"I don't believe that there is no way to do this!" Zhang Tian frowned slightly, his fingers clenched the wine glass, and he poured a sip of spirits, looking very unwilling to sweep the performance stage below, his eyes were cold and refreshing, could it really be as the Tang woman said, only to open a gap in the upper layer of the Falcon Empire?
Thinking of this impossible way in a short period of time, Zhang Tian was annoyed and poured more than a dozen mouthfuls in a row.
"Bastard, what I Zhang Tian can't do, don't think about it from your Tang clan!" Zhang Tian's face was red with grievances, and he staggered to stand up with the strength of the wine, and before Sidney Pica on the opposite side had time to react, Zhang Tian suddenly opened his mouth and shouted at the performance stage below in the common language of Obaro, "Tang Ruyue, do you think that by killing the Li clan, you can seize the right to trade, and you can save your Tang clan by selling dance here?" You dream, Dongting Iron Horse goes south, and the first one who will be trampled to death is your Tang clan! Even if you dance to death here, the Vekia Falcon won't give you a piece of iron ore!"
Zhang Tian shouted in Obaro, and immediately whispered "What kind of person is this!" "Drinking and drinking crazy, but what is the iron ore he is talking about?"
"It's that bastard of the Zhang family!" In the background, a beautiful and playful little maid with a cold face was looking towards the private room on the second floor, and turned to Tang Ruyue, who was sticking a red crescent moon to the center of her eyebrows, and said with an indignant expression, "It must also be because of the Li family's affairs, I ran into a nose of dust in the southwest region, and thought of smuggling like us, but when I arrived, I found that no one dared to smuggle at all! Now I want to mess up the whole thing! Miss, do you want to ...... I promise that guy died unconscious!"
"Don't mess around!"
Tang Ruyue stood up. Her pretty face was slightly cold, and her eyes glared fiercely at the little maid with murderous intent on her face, "You forgot that in the Southwest District, if you hadn't attacked the people of the Li family, the agreement would have been signed a long time ago, and we would have been forced to run away by that madman Li Yuehua in the Southwest District?" But he scolded the young lady like this, I just wanted to kill him!" the little maid said angrily
"Our time is very tight, we can't waste energy on this kind of thing," Tang Ruyue said coldly, "The letter I received a few days ago, the Dongting Iron Cavalry in the north is already gathering spring troops, and there will soon be a trend of moving south, because of the loss of the northern mines. Now that the Central Beian Empire has shown a dilemma of insufficient troops and insufficient equipment, it is difficult to use the method of using the ice and iron wall to block the cavalry of the Eastern Court like in winter, and it is only a matter of time before the Imperial Capital Baili Changting is broken" "Miss, if that Falcon King really wants to see you, what will you do?" The little maid gently flicked the sleeve line with her fingers, and said with a very aggrieved look, "I heard that the Falcon King is fierce and vicious, and he is also very lustful. If you see a beauty like Miss, wouldn't it be a wolf into the tiger's mouth!" "In extraordinary times, extraordinary methods, even if it is a wolf in the tiger's mouth." As long as the iron ore can be exchanged, it is worth it!" Tang Ruyue sighed, tore a red flower with her hand, and put it on the little girl's eyebrows fairly, and said with a wry smile on the corner of her mouth, "The Empire State Building will fall." The royal family surnamed Wu is already discussing moving south to avoid disaster, and the people in the country are panicking, and the wealthy families have also begun to think about themselves. As a Tang family, we always need to sacrifice for the family, and the current situation is that whoever has iron ore in his hands can rise in the chaos in the future! For us who have been subservient to the royal family for 500 years, this is a good opportunity once in 500 years, and the family letter mentions that no matter what the cost, we must do our best to collect enough iron ore to transport to Central Bia."
"But until now, that sentence has made such a fuss, and the Falcon Empire's reaction is too abnormal at all, is the news fake? Vekia Falcon is not in Lisbonto at all?" Tang Ruyue put down her right hand, looking preoccupied, her pupils were full of confusion, and she whispered to herself
"...... show," the little maid asked
"Stop, just say I'm unwell! Maybe Zhang Tian is right, these are all in vain, it's better to go directly and ask for a face-to-face meeting!" Tang Ruyue waved her hand, looked depressed and said, in another box on the second floor, the fat man patted his clothes and stood up from the seat, after such a fuss, it is estimated that Tang Ruyue will not appear again, and he is not in the mood to look down, Varisian followed, the guard opened the door of the box, the fat man took the cloak from the guard, and was just about to tie it, when a drunken figure rushed over from the opposite side, and several guards of the Sidney family "What people!"
The guards in charge of the guard immediately rushed up to stop the front, and the sword was unsheathed,
"This is!" The cold curved blade of the sword made the faces of several Sidney family guards next to the drunk man change, and one of the young men came out and waved his hand and said, "Don't get me wrong, I'm from the Sidney family, this friend is drunk, please forgive me if you offend!" "It's a drunk, my lord!" The guard who stopped him hesitated for a moment, withdrew his sword, and reported to the embarrassed face behind him, "Forget it, go back!"
The fat man waved his hand, and the Zhongbiya clothes on the drunken man's body made his eyes pause, isn't this the Zhongbia who scolded just now?
Forget it, the fat man didn't want to deal with this kind of person, at this moment, Zhang Tian, who was half-drunk, looked ahead with hazy drunk eyes, and saw the black-haired fat man at a glance, thinking that the other party was a Sino-Belgian businessman, and suddenly came to confidence, pointed at the fat man, and scolded sharply, "As a Sino-Belgian, you dare to contradict me? Do you know who I am, Longchuan Jiedu ordered Zhang Fengqun to be my father! If you don't come and kneel, I will let my father kill your whole family!"
Zhang Tian's voice was very loud, especially the four words of killing your whole family, echoing in the corridor for more than ten seconds, he didn't feel the air around him stop all of a sudden, the black-haired fat man in front of him stopped and walked over, "What are you going to do, I'm Zhang Tian, my father is the ...... of Longchuan Jiedu!" Zhang Tian's arrogant shout suddenly came,
I didn't see how to move, and everyone felt a flower in front of them,
Zhang Tian's head, which was still talking with his mouth open, had already flown into the sky, and the blood was full of blood from Zhang Tian's headless chest to the top of the corridor, like a rain of blood.
"I remember the name Zhang Fengqun!" the fat man muttered to himself, took the handkerchief from a guard behind him, and gently wiped the soft sword in his hand, "I'll go, are you crazy! How did you kill him!" Sidney Pijia looked completely stupid, he also thought that the other party was a Central Belgian businessman,
"Come on, take them all!"
A bald head on the other side had already jumped out, and at the same time, the guard over there had a sound of a sharp blade unsheathed, and the cold light flickered, "Wait, don't do it, we're from Sidney's!
Sidney's guards also drew their swords and trembled,
They felt it, the other party's guards were definitely real soldiers with hidden identities, and the smell of killing and drinking blood on those weapons could be smelled even from a distance of more than ten meters.
Although I don't know what it is, the other party just a few people stand there, and it makes people feel an irresistible chill.
This is a true warrior of a hundred battles,
The head of the guard who felt that he was in trouble smiled bitterly, and he could only hold on, hoping to hold on until the master arrived, but the master was also one of the twelve deacons of the Business Alliance, and the other party should also have some scruples, (to be continued......)
