417 Secrets of the East (1)

The fat man pushed open the thick black carriage door and looked up at the sky,

The bright sun slanted down from the cloudless sky, illuminating the gloomy hotel walls,

The Kugit steppe in July is the hottest season of summer.

Cloud City is not immune, the weather in the grassland has always been very unstable, it can reach a high temperature of 4o degrees during the day, and it can also appear at night with a low cold of sub-zero freezing.

This makes the fat man who is used to the warm climate of the south feel a little uncomfortable,

The fat man lives in a small manor with beautiful scenery temporarily placed by the business alliance,

It is close to the outskirts of Cloudsdale City, and from the windows covered with green walls and grass, you can clearly see the scenery of the Kugit tribal settlement outside the city.

Layers of white tents are clustered in the east and west outside the city in the clouds, like grazing sheep on the vast grassland, around several large lakes outside the city, and you can also see several racetracks being built.

The ground had been basically leveled, and several parallel horse racing lanes were ploughing the fields one after another, which confirmed the fat man's conjecture that there must be a hidden principal in Cloudsdale

From the counterattack on Aichemore, to the burning of Mount Ludato, and the opportunity to propose the holding of the Prairie Laren Warrior Competition, this series of means is a perfect fit, which can be called a classic of sophistication and viciousness

I just don't know if this conspiracy involves Vicchia,

Is the person in charge the Khan of the royal court? or is there someone else, and if the royal court is also a victim of this conspiracy maelstrom

If it is true as guessed, then this plan can be described as shocking,

With the entire Big 6 as a chess game, and the lives of hundreds of thousands of people as chess pieces, the two most powerful countries are playing tricks

In order to confirm his guess, the fat man made a vaguely tentative decision

The embargo does not have the most basic conditions for survival, and any conspiracy is for the sake of work

This sudden blow was like a sharp blade that suddenly appeared in the shadows,

Regardless of the rules and reasons, all the ongoing plots are put on hold with a single sword

No one can sit idly by and watch their own elaborate layout, when the net is about to be successfully closed,

but by an arrogant and unreasonable third party,

Suddenly, he kicked it into a mess and got out of the chaos under his control

Sure enough, Hukochili soon received information that the Kujits had guessed that they were in Cloudsdale and had asked to meet them

When the fat man heard the news, his heart was as happy as drinking a glass of ice water in the seventh month.

No matter how calculated the mysterious principal

In the face of the sudden embargo fist, he finally showed a flaw helplessly,

even at the expense of directly ** their own savings zài,

instructed Duo Weiyan to meet directly with himself, the person in charge behind the scenes who tried to disrupt the situation

The master has made a move, and the point stops

Some things can't be done too much, and after that, it's a challenge to the opponent, so the fat man didn't continue to hide, and he came very happily

The fat man knew that Duo Weiyan was a typical Kujitte, upright and bold like the bright sunshine above his head,

It is impossible to see in such a short period of time that behind the embargo is oneself, the real master, who is in full operation.

But Duo Weiyan negotiated this time and directly asked to meet him.

It shows that there must be a master behind Duo Weiyan, and the biggest possibility is that he has been hiding in Cloud City.

A mysterious conspirator who will kill Rui Erdian and the Left Guard, and at the same time push him to a dead end,

The fat man walked up to the second floor of the hotel accompanied by the guard, and the soft wooden planks creaked under his feet.

At the moment when the fat man walked into the corridor on the second floor,

In the middle of the corridor on the second floor, a painting on an oil plate that was as large as Hukochili's room suddenly flipped inward, revealing a secret door.

The head of the business alliance came out of it with his assistant, and stood in front of the secret door with a nervous expression.

"How's the situation with the embargo?" the fat man paused in front of the two of them and asked, "Counting from the receipt of the warrant from the adult," the commercial officer took the account book from his assistant and bowed his head respectfully

"In 31 hours, a total of 39 caravans of the commercial alliance and 14 smuggling caravans of the three underground forces were blocked, a total of 1,500 tons of various materials and weapons were blocked, and 650,000 gold coins were paid in compensation......

The words of the head of the business alliance suddenly stopped, and he looked at the fat man, and his voice was hesitant

"Grand Duke, there is one more thing, because the amount of money involved this time is huge, according to the rules of the business alliance, this document needs a seal of the Duke's Palace"

"Well, I know the rules" The fat man nodded, the rules of the business alliance were originally formulated by the fat man, in order to control the malicious lending that may occur within the business alliance

As long as the order to requisition goods worth 2o thousand gold coins must be sealed by the Duke's Palace

The fat man used his heraldic ring to imprint a seal on the bottom corner of the ledger document, and then said to the two of them

"The embargo can now be lifted, and as for the compensation to be paid, I will send the pick-up list of the goods sent from the country to General Hukochili."

"Yes, Grand Duke" The two respectfully retreated into the secret door of the corridor again,

The fat man turned the corner of the corridor in front of him, waved his hand to let the guards stop outside the door of the room, pushed open the door of the room with his own hands, and saw Hu Keqili and Duo Weiyan sitting on the window chair talking about something,

The bright yellow sunlight shone in through the window, looking peaceful, and it was completely indiscernible that what the two were talking about now was a major event that might affect the fate of the entire royal court.

"This is **, shaking hands cordially on the table, but kicking desperately under the table"

The fat man sighed, if he had a choice, the fat man was not willing to bully Duo Weiyan, an honest man,

Among the young Kugit generation I know,

Duo Weiyan is a fat man who can be seen by the eye,

Young and steady, decisive in doing things, people seem too upright and bold.

But this is also what fat people appreciate the most,

The Kujiit people should be like this, the bloodline inheritance of the wolf clan should not be used for feminine viciousness

It's a young eagle just missing a flying sky,

Regarding the status of the Duowei tribe in Kujit, the fat man also sent someone to understand,

The Duowei tribe is one of the several major tribes of the Kugit Khanate, living in the northern part of the original Aychemore, and had to migrate to the northeast of Tulga more than ten years ago due to the loss of Aychemore.

With a number of about 150,000 and a military strength of more than 40,000, it is one of the main forces of the Kugit royal guard.

But the Duowei family is very embarrassed in the royal court, I don't know why,

has been in a position that is not up or down,

Even the Left Guard Department, which is lower than the Duowei clan, can obtain the title of a king, but the representative of the Duowei family, Duo Weiyan, is only a false post of foreign minister.

This is definitely an incomprehensible problem for the Kugit Khanate, which honors the strong.

"Grand Duke" Duo Weiyan saw the fat man come in, his confused face was swept away, his eyes suddenly lit up, and a happy look climbed up his eyebrows.

"My lord" Hu Keqili also quickly got up from his seat and gave a military salute to the fat man

"The famous Vekia Falcon soars from the southern hills to my Kugit Cloud City, this is definitely my Kugit honor" Although Duo Weiyan is upright, as a foreign minister, these words of praise naturally come casually,

He grabbed the fat man's hand, and his heart was completely relieved, since the falcon appeared, then the matter about the caravan embargo would be easy to handle,

Queen Ssaihuerlis's judgment was as terrible as ever

"Lord Duowei is still so funny, compared to the noble eagle of the royal court in Cloud City, what is my dirt bun from the mountainous area" The fat man smiled at the corner of his mouth,

After the fat man exchanged a few polite words with Duo Weiyan, the two sides went directly to the topic,

Duo Weiyan first blamed the fat man for the unauthorized embargo, saying that this matter was completely negotiable, and there was no need to suddenly raise this stiffness and be direct, so that he would lose face in front of the King of Khan

The fat man looked angry, put on a posture of complete ignorance, and patted his chest to promise that these daring merchants would be severely punished, and that the caravan would appear in Cloudsdale within a day

"Did you really wronged the Vecchia Falcon?" Seeing the fat man's swear and hatred of the enemy, Duo Weiyan felt embarrassed,

The upright Foreign Minister of Kugit felt ashamed that he had used such a careful eye to measure the famous Vecchia Falcon,

Thinking that the punishment of the fat man may make those businessmen avoid the business line of Cloudsdale because they are avoiding punishment,

Duo Weiyan hurriedly told the fat man that he would never hold those merchants accountable again, and was willing to buy these goods at a high price, as long as they could continue to transport the goods to Cloud City

"Count their good luck for the sake of your Lord Duo Weiyan, I will let these merchants go," the fat man said with an indignant expression, and suddenly took out a list of supplies from his arms and gently placed it in front of Duo Weiyan

"Actually, Lord Duo Weiyan doesn't need to worry about the competition, as soon as we received the request from the Kugit Royal Court for materials for the competition, we immediately issued an emergency mobilization order, which is the 1o5 tons of urgently needed materials that our Vekia caravan urgently pumped from all over the country, and now it is placed in Stres, not far from here, originally needed at least 1oo million gold coins, but for the sake of Lord Duo Weiyan's friendship, I am in charge, 8o million will take all the goods."

Hearing the fat man's words, the upright Duo Weiyan knew what was going on no matter how stupid he was, and the little regret he had just felt for the fat man immediately flew out of the clouds

This is blackmail, naked blackmail

"This dead fat man" looked at the fat man who was smiling kindly in front of him, and Duo Weiyan finally had a new understanding of the Wikibian proverb "The falcon's heart eye is smaller than the eye of a needle".

"The game of cat and mouse......" Hu Keqili, who was standing on the side, saw Duo Weiyan's embarrassed face, and shook his head in his heart, now Duo Weiyan is like a poor little mouse who is being played by the fat cat with his thick palm

After thinking about it for a while, Duo Weiyan found that he had almost no choice but to agree, and nodded helplessly

The new talks started again in a slightly helpless atmosphere on a sunny afternoon

It's just that this time it was replaced by a direct dialogue between the fat man and Duo Weiyan, and under the condition of reaching a consensus,

After the fat man agreed to resume the caravan transportation and promised to ensure the sufficient ration of Cloudsdale City when the Laren Warriors were held, Duo Weiyan also took out a document scroll from his arms and gently placed it in front of the fat man

"This is a revised trade agreement, although it has not yet been authorized by the royal court, but I am absolutely sure that this agreement will be passed at tomorrow's royal court meeting, but Kugit needs a commitment from the Grand Duke"

"What promise?" The fat man looked at the scroll on the table, his eyebrows couldn't help jumping, and he felt a dry mouth, thinking that the Kugit royal court was so happy to put it on the business line,

This is the trade route agreement of the whole eastern Kugit, as long as you lightly use a quill pen to draw on this brown parchment,

Samar's caravans were able to follow the winding river to the east,

Crossing the Tulga steppe, all the way to the city of Hamar, the center of the eastern steppe,

Then over the eastern edge of the Ville Mountains into the resource-rich Doroc Mountains,

Finally, it joins with the southern trade route that crosses Roude,

Completing a grand plan that has been planned for several years in the fat man's heart, this is also a feat that belongs to the Samore merchants,

The caravan laden with goods will crush a milestone cycle in the vast northern steppes, in the rolling southern hills, in the undulating seas, with a roaring cart across the Great Ivadis,

Build a merchant empire that is far larger than any of the current monarchs in the region.

Duo Weiyan saw the fat man's slightly dazed expression, and he definitely made his words clear, changed his relaxation just now, and said with a stern expression, "The request of our royal court is very simple, that is, no matter what the circumstances, Vekia must not transport weapons and equipment to the eastern grasslands."

"Uh, why is that?" The fat man frowned when he heard Duo Weiyan's condition, the trade in weapons and equipment has always been the backbone of Vekia's trade, and not transporting weapons from the eastern steppes is tantamount to making Vikia lose the largest share of trade

Duo Weiyan looked at the fat man's stunned face and said, "I'll tell the truth to Grand Duke Sù, the Duolun Department of Hamar City is the biggest enemy of my royal court, not only to establish the eastern royal court, but also to have an ambiguous relationship with the Rui Erdian people.

This time, if it weren't for the Duolun tribe secretly ** Ruierdian people, they withdrew the army on the border of the eastern grassland of Ruierdian,

It is impossible for the people of Rui Erdian to let go of their hands and feet, and to besiege me with all their might, Aichemore,

If the biggest enemy in the heart of my Kugit royal court is not the invading Ruierdians, but the damned Duolun tribe, as long as they survive this difficulty, my royal court will definitely not let go of this damn traitor."

"Oh, there is such a thing" The fat man's face was slightly unnatural, and the smile on the corner of his mouth turned into a solemn contemplation,

I thought that everything would be fine if I let go of the eastern trade route, but I didn't expect that the city of Hamar in the east and the royal court turned out to be hostile.

In the case of the eastern steppes,

Because the lockdown of the Kugit royal court is very strict, it is the first time for the fat man to hear such a detailed inside story,

This made the fat man interested, since the eastern grasslands are about to open, it is always good to know more about the real situation.
