Renard patted his head hard, he actually forgot about it, he looked at the two of them, and asked, "Did you bring any money?"

Arka and Mark looked at each other, rummaging through all the pockets and spatial rings, and finally managed to scrape together only a dozen gold coins.

Although they are very strong and have a very high status, they live entirely on military salaries, and after bringing their families in, their expenses become larger, and it is not easy to save some oil and water.

Doing the math, a total of fifty-eight gold coins, forty-six silver coins, and dozens of coppers.

This money is enough for ordinary people to live a prosperous life, but in the hands of nobles, it is nothing at all.

Arka sighed helplessly, and said with a wry smile: "This money has to save some money for pomp and circumstance, and it is unlikely that you want to buy expensive gifts, unless you just want to be perfunctory." ”

Although Lei Ye wanted to be perfunctory, it was himself who would be embarrassed by then.

Because Westerners have a very pitiful tradition, that is, after receiving a gift, the host will open it in front of many guests, whether they like it or not, they must taste it.

If he really gave Marquis Quentin some bargain, I am afraid that the guests present will despise him to death in their hearts, and the reputation of slamming the door will be severely buckled on their heads.

Renard took a sip of tea: "Do you want me, the Governor, to pull down his face and borrow money?"

The key is who to borrow from?

The three of them have no relatives in Wangdu, and they don't even have a friend, and the easiest solution is to make a mortgage loan with the gold bank.

The dignified Governor needs to borrow money to get by, don't you want your reputation?

Mark pondered for a moment and asked, "Can we use the magic messenger to inform the territory to prepare a gift now, and then let the griffin knight deliver it?"

Arka frowned and said, "I'm afraid it's too late." ”

The speed of the griffin can reach up to 80 kilometers per hour, but it is not a car after all, and under the condition of weight, its physical strength and flight speed will be greatly reduced, and it can continue to fly for up to 200 kilometers, and it will have to rest for more than six hours.

It is a distance of thousands of kilometers from the city of plenty to Arthur's city, and when the griffin knight comes with his things, the daylily is very cold.

As for using magical messengers to pass things, it is even more unavoidable

Yes, the payload of the magic messenger is very small, and it can only be used to deliver light objects such as letters, and the weight of more than thirty grams will affect its use, and what is thirty grams enough for?

After thinking about it for half an hour, the three of them were still at a loss.

Arka and Mark went back to their room very unkindly, leaving this problem to Lei Ye to solve by himself.

Just as Renard was pondering and meditating, there was a knock on the door again, and he raised his head in surprise and said secretly: Could it be that those two guys have found out their conscience and come back to help him think of ideas?

It turned out that he was thinking a little too much, and only heard the voice of the proprietress outside the door: "Your Excellency, have you rested?"

Shangguan Wan'er's arrival was a bit unexpected by Lei Ye, this woman had never taken the initiative to look for herself, and she actually came to her room in the middle of the night today, this is to ......

Lei Ye showed a lewd smile on his face, then cleared his throat and said, "No, is there anything wrong with Miss Wan'er?"

There was silence outside the door for a moment, and a gentle voice came again: "It's not a big deal." ”

Then there was a long silence: "I just feel a little bored, I just want to talk to someone, if it's inconvenient, forget it." ”

Hearing the other party's hesitation, Renard couldn't help frowning, and then thought: Could it be that this Shangguan Wan'er is also a lobbyist for a certain powerful person?

Think about it.

Easterners are alien races to Westerners, and if Shangguan Wan'er wants to gain a firm foothold in the Northern Continent, she must tie up a few powerful people, otherwise she will not be able to survive at all.

I think that this osmanthus workshop can be opened in the most prosperous Beicheng District, and it is also opened in the most prosperous area of Beicheng District, and the people behind it may not have a low status.

Thinking about this, Lei Ye quickly restrained his expression, revealing a serious look on his face: "Miss Wan'er, please come in and talk, the evening breeze is cool, don't freeze your body." ”

What he said was a little ridiculous, after all, it was the end of spring, and it looked like it was about to enter summer, although the night was still a little cool, but it would only give people a refreshing feeling, how could it be so exaggerated to freeze the body.

When Shangguan Wan'er heard this, she hesitated for a moment and pushed open the door.

Her cheeks were slightly red, and she looked a little shy, and she held a tray in her hand, which contained a few hand-fried side dishes and two pots of osmanthus stuff.

make

For Shangguan Wan'er, a conservative Oriental and from a large family, entering a man's room in the middle of the night has never been before, which makes her shy and faintly expectant.

Lianbu moved lightly and stepped into the room.

The first thing Shangguan Wan'er saw was Renard's face full of seriousness, and she was slightly surprised, when the two met before, the other party did not have this kind of expression.

Lei Ye saw her eating, with a deliberately flattering expression on his face, he didn't bother to bother, and asked straight to the point: "Who are you, who are you doing, and what do you deliberately approach me for?"

He only faintly felt now that this woman had maintained an intimate posture since she saw him.

However, Oriental people are very conservative, whether it is the previous world or the current world, that is, it is basically impossible for her to appear in Oriental women, except for Xizi and Qinglou women.

Hearing Renard's words, and then looking at his unusually serious expression, Shangguan Wan'er couldn't help but be stunned.

She prepared some food with joy, originally thinking about the moon before the flowers, chanting poetry and music, but she didn't expect this to be the result.

The smile on her face gradually faded, and her expression became stiff: "What did His Excellency the Governor say, why can't I understand it?"

Renard sighed lightly and said in a low voice: "I am a beautiful woman, but I can't help but be a thief." ”

When Shangguan Wan'er heard this, her face suddenly turned pale, and her expression showed some grievance: "Lord Governor thinks that the little woman has a purpose to approach you?"

Renard couldn't stand the appearance of a woman the most, he frowned slightly, and asked in a deep voice: "I just want to know who you serve, who is the person behind you, don't tell me that you have created this family business in this place with your ability." ”

Shangguan Wan'er bit her thin lip when she heard this, and whispered, "Haven't you already seen the person who supported me?"

Lei Ye thought for a moment, and then asked tentatively, "Ferdinand?"

Shangguan Wan'er nodded: "Who else will it be besides His Majesty the King?"

Renard reacted suddenly, no wonder Ferdinand had arranged to meet here, first for secrecy, and secondly to spy on himself, I am afraid that the news of his meeting with the Marquis Quentin's envoy had already reached the ears of the other party.

He patted his head and made a mistake.
