356 The Wind Comes from the Sea (2)
"Meroros?" said Mao Mona Qing with a stunned expression, "Isn't it a barren coast full of rocks? It is said that it was originally the domain of a small lord of Virtue, and the Ryordian people occupied it in the Third Jerrug War, but because it was too barren and often harassed by pirates, they basically gave up there, leaving only the troops of a small fortress, what does the Grand Duke want that land for?"
"Hehe, for the people of Raldian, it may be just a barren coast, but for us who have coastal trade, it is a rare treasure land" The corner of the fat mouth smiled, and then excitedly
"I have heard the Hulin people on the sea mention it many times, because the towering cliffs on both sides of the bank extend outward, and the concave area forms a natural inner bay area, which is where the good harbor is.
The warships of the Hulin tribe used it many times as a supply point, and as long as they crossed the mountains on the shore, they could enter the region of Sagos in the south of the Zode, which was a rich area of the kingdom of Roude.
I have sent someone to carefully calculate that if you sail north along the western coastline of Wocheze, you can reach this natural inner harbor in three days, which is far less than half the time of our caravan by land, the fat voice paused, and said with a look of joy
"If we can take this area, then our trade route in Vikia can quickly cross the kingdom of Odd and reach the distant Dorok Mountains, where the price of our weapons can be more than tripled, this is a golden route that can be born."
"The vision of the adult is really unique, I will go to draft the document, I believe that the Rui Erdian people will definitely agree to this condition, but it is a pity that the Rui Erdian people are guarding such a treasure land, but it is regarded as a wasteland, what a waste" Mao Mona Qing suddenly realized, stood up from his seat and said goodbye,
Sending Mao Mona Qing away, Fat heard Hukchili's voice sound outside the tent
"Grand Duke, the Kugits of the city of Tulka have sent an envoy, and Lord Lidakus, who is in charge of handling affairs, has temporarily placed the envoy in the city of Usa, fifty miles away from here, and specially sent someone to send a request overnight."
"It's good that the Kugit people are here" Fat took a deep breath, his eyebrows furrowed, although the western steppe is the territory of the Zuowei tribe, it still nominally belongs to the Kugit royal court in Tulga, and it is obviously not a good thing to send an envoy at this time,
"Do you know who is coming this time?" Fat asked in a deep voice as he removed his armor from the hanger
"It's Kugit who is the foreign minister of Kuletfei," Hukochili replied with a respectful expression, "Lord Lidakus said that this Kujit envoy has a big temper, and as soon as he came, he lodged a solemn protest against us Vecchia, saying that we and the Ryerdian people are both invaders of this steppe, and demand that we immediately retreat to the original borders, otherwise it will be like we have declared war"
"Hehe, these Kujits are really wolves, and they really heal the scars and forget the pain" Fat sneered a few times, "If it weren't for us blocking the Ruierdian army, the current city of Tulka would have been burned by war, and there would still be the strength to run to me and call"
"Yes, his subordinates almost wanted to drive this envoy out on the spot, but Lidarchus thought that in any case, it was the moment after the decisive battle between us and the army of Rui Erdian, and any improper handling could have an adverse impact on the entire battle situation, so he deliberately imprisoned this arrogant guy and waited until the end of the war to report to the Grand Duke for decision."
"It's a bit like what Lidarchus did," Fat lifted the curtain of the tent, stepped out of it, and handed over a military order to Hukochi, who was waiting outside the door
"You immediately send someone to put this in the hands of Lidakus, and tell him, no matter how this matter is handled, I don't see this envoy, if the Kujit have the ability, let them come to the western steppe by themselves, but don't blame me for the sharp edge of Vikia's war knife when the time comes."
"Yes, my subordinates understand," Hukochili nodded excitedly,
After a while, Hukochili, who had just left, turned back with a strange expression, and hesitated outside the fat tent, as if there was something unspeakable
"What's the matter? Could it be that Hu Keqili, who is known as the enemy of ten thousand people, is also afraid of entering my military tent" A muffled snort from inside made Hu Keqili tremble, and he hurriedly opened the curtain of the tent and walked in, put his right hand on his chest, and saluted respectfully, "Grand Duke"
"Is it another person from Kujitte?" The fat half squatted on the ground, picked the brazier in the middle of the tent with the wooden stick in his hand, and let the red flame emerge from the black coal, baking the whole tent warmly.
"Great, how does the Grand Duke know...... "Hu Keqili half-knelt on the ground, holding a yellow cloth wrapped in a long object in his hand, his face was like a dyeing shop, and he looked like he had seen a hell, and said in panic
"The patrol captain of Gangyingmen came to report, a Kujit who claimed to be the old man of the Grand Duke of Cloud City, asked to see the Grand Duke, and his subordinates went down to take a look, and it was the former Kugit Foreign Affairs Officer Duo Weiyan who came, and he also brought a thing, asking me to hand it over to the Lord personally, saying that it was on behalf of the old friend of the Lord in Cloud City, to ask the Lord for a thing, and the subordinates remembered Lord Gang's instructions, and did not dare to report it for a while."
"Oh, what" Fat Curious Temple stood up and took the long package from Hukochili's hand, his hand suddenly stopped in mid-air, his face changed slightly, as if he was holding a red-hot charcoal in his hand
"Go, let Duo Weiyan come in and see me" After half a sound, Fat waved his hand to the frightened Hu Keqili, and put the long package in his hand on the table, this thing is so familiar, the touch of the circle of threads thrown through the wrapping cloth is obviously the handle of a certain item, and the tail end hangs down, obviously a horsewhip,
"Calculate the time, this month's deadline is almost the same, this woman is really anxious" Fat sighed helplessly
"Grand Duke may the eternal heavens bless you forever" A thin Kugit man followed Hukochili into the tent and bowed to the fat man, and the fierce aura that belonged to the Kugit people came to his face
"This guy is getting more and more like a steppe wolf"
Fat glanced at Duo Weiyan, his eyes narrowed slightly, I don't know why, Fat felt more and more "wolf nature" in this young Kugit nobleman
It was an intuition that the younger generation of Kujitt, who had been pampered, was growing up at an impressive pace in continuous crises
"Are you here to negotiate?" Fat asked knowingly, in a deep voice
"Disrespectful Grand Duke, I'm no longer from the Tulka Royal Court" Duo Weiyan's face turned slightly pale, and then he held his head high and said firmly, "I, Duo Wei Ministry, have always been the subordinate clan of Queen Aichemore, and according to the previous agreement between the Grand Duke and the master, I am here to fulfill my promise to my lord."
"Promise?" the fat looked stunned, he couldn't remember what he had agreed with Queen Echmore
Seeing the fat puzzled look, Duo Weiyan's face was strange, his face turned red and white, and he suddenly knelt down on his knees in front of the fat and bowed to the ground with his whole body
"I, the Doyan Division, will be attached to the Grand Duke of Falcon from this day, and the city of Achmore will be dedicated to the Grand Duke......
