Chapter 503: Inquiry
"Hekate?" Pei Ziyun frowned slightly: "Or is it another goddess?"
"This breath is a bit dark. ”
"Don't look at Hecate, some people like it, just look at Medea and know that this goddess is not easy to mess with, there is such a good talk? I always feel that it is really Hecate, I was killed when I just said these words. ”
At this time, there is no need to think about it, the ship gradually came to the shore, Pei Ziyun got off the boat, and saw several warships in the distance, it was about 35 meters long, 3 meters wide at the bottom, 5 meters wide on the waterline, only the bow and stern had decks, the oarsmen sat on benches facing the stern, and the ship was equipped with masts and square sails.
On the ship, the soldiers are training intensively, watching their movements, they should have been training for a while, and they are relatively proficient in all movements.
A captain came over, and Pei Ziyun asked, "Everything is ready?"
"Prince Paris, everything is ready. The captain replied.
"Very well, you are in charge of bringing the gold and goods back to my mansion with the slaves, informing Onone that I am back, and giving her this parchment. ”
"Let me go to the palace first, and I will come back to-day. ”
"Yes, Prince Paris. The housekeeper slowly retreated to prepare, a carriage stopped at the port, Pei Ziyun got into the carriage and headed towards the palace.
palace
Pei Ziyun rushed to the palace, and as soon as he stepped into the hall, he found that he was just in time for the palace to deliberate.
When Deifubos saw Paris come in, his voice instantly raised a few degrees, and he said triumphantly, "The Kingdom of Percinia has agreed to form an alliance with us, and will send an army when it is critical. ”
After speaking, he turned his head to stare at Pei Ziyun who came in and showed off and said, "Paris, what about you, how is the task completed?"
Pei Ziyun bowed in front of King Priam, and saluted Hector, saying, "I'm sorry, father, Hector, the Amazons are only willing to form an alliance and can't send troops on a large scale. ”
When he heard that Paris had failed to complete the alliance and that he had done it brilliantly, he was full of confidence and said loudly: "Paris, you are running in high spirits, and this is the result?"
Hector on the side couldn't see it, and felt that De Ifubos was too good, and said, "De Ifubos, Paris has saved you." ”
Under Hector's years of accumulation, De Yifubos was still a little afraid, closed his mouth and didn't say more, but just snorted at Pei Ziyun to show his dissatisfaction.
Hector turned his head to Pei Ziyun and said, "That's acceptable, I heard that Paris, you killed another monster?"
"Yes, a two-headed lizard. Pei Ziyun replied.
"Oh, this monster has thick skin and a lot of attack power, I didn't think you could kill it. ”
"It was with the assistance of Queen Penthesilia of the Amazon that this monster was slain. Pei Ziyun said, and continued: "However, although the Amazon will not send troops on a large scale, the queen has promised that if there is a war in Troy, she will lead her personal guards to come in person." ”
"Oh, did she really say that?" King Priam was pleasantly surprised, he had little hope for the Amazon newspaper, and he didn't expect the result to be unexpected.
His smile widened: "Paris, you've achieved your goal!"
You know, in this era, no matter how many militias there are, they can't compare to heroes and elites, and the Amazon queen promised that Troy would personally lead the elite to come once there was a war, which is actually not much different from forming an alliance and sending troops.
The only thing is the name of the minus country.
De Yifubos, who was standing on the side, looked ugly, originally thought that Paris had really not completed the mission of the Amazon this time, but he didn't expect that he had hidden this hand, and he had just ridiculed Paris.
King Priam did not know what Ifbos was thinking at this time, and he said cheerfully: "Paris, well done!"
The voice is loud and full of energy, and it is obviously very happy.
"With this success, I am now more relieved to entrust you with the task of going to Greece, and you will be bold enough to do it. ”
"Are you ready to send an envoy to Greece?" Pei Ziyun asked in surprise.
As far as I know, the king proposed to build a workshop on Mount Date until now, but it has only been a month and a half, so it can't be so fast, right?
The construction of ships is not only about this time, but also the training of soldiers, although when he came back, he saw the soldiers of several warships, and the training was relatively skilled, but this was far from enough.
King Priam quickly gave Pei Ziyun an answer.
"The new ship has not yet been built, but the old ship has been gathered together for training, and you can take almost all of it with you then, and when you come back, the new ship will be built. ”
The king seemed to be a little impatient, and the princes went unexpectedly well, Hector to the kingdom of Vlikia, Deifbos to the kingdom of Pecinia, and Paris to the kingdom of the Amazons, all of whom formed allies with each other, and promised to send troops to support them in the event of war in Troy.
These results made King Priam unwilling to wait, he wanted to achieve his goal of revenge as soon as possible, and only listened to the king's sigh: "I am old, and I hope that this matter can be completed in my last life." ”
"Father, I see. Pei Ziyun lowered his head and said.
King Priam is indeed old, he has reigned for more than twenty years, and his only wish now is to complete the original goal of revenge, and the results of this mission have given him hope for further progress, and he is not willing to wait any longer.
However, according to the records, he actually fought for ten years, and he did not die of old age, which was the result of his death in battle.
There is no need to say this, Pei Ziyun was about to resign, but the king shouted again and said, "Paris, the nobles in the city have given you ten virgin slaves, which have been kept here with me, you can take them back!"
"Yes, Father. Pei Ziyun bowed and went out, the last citizens' meeting, someone said that they wanted to give themselves ten virgin slaves, but they didn't expect these nobles to be so concerned about this matter, and they had already found all these ten virgin slaves after going out for a month.
Just went out, someone came over with ten virgin slaves, Pei Ziyun only glanced at it slightly, didn't look closely, and led it out and went back together.
As soon as he got home, Onone greeted him and said, "Paris, my dear, you have finally returned, let me take a closer look." ”
Pei Ziyun smiled, turned around in a real place, and said to Onone: "Onogne, my beautiful wife, I've only been out for a few days, how can it change?"
"Dear Paris, I'm relieved to see that you're okay, I've carefully checked the gold and goods you brought back, but this time you brought back a lot of things. ”
"It's not much this time, there will be more next time!" Pei Ziyun said with a smile.
"Really?" Onone covered her mouth and exclaimed, "Great, I don't have to worry about our family's financial woes anymore." ”
"Well, in the future, you just need to manage these belongings, and as for the financial issues, you don't have to worry, I will take care of it. By the way, are the merchants here?"
"The merchants you want to meet are all in the garden. Onone replied, gesturing to the parchment.
"Well, I'll go see them first, there are slaves given to me by the nobles in the city outside, you go and help arrange it. ”
When they came to the garden, there were more than a dozen merchants looking at the gold and goods that Pei Ziyun had brought back.
When Pei Ziyun approached, he heard a merchant whisper: "Gold, bronze, furs, ivory, and pearls - there are pearls in the Amazon?"
Pei Ziyun laughed as he listened to the discussion, and everyone looked back and knew that Prince Paris had returned.
"Dear Prince Paris, it's a pleasure to meet you. The businessmen greeted Pei Ziyun one after another.
"Well, guys, I just heard you ask about the origin of this shipment, and I tell you that this is what I shipped back from the Amazon Kingdom. ”
Pei Ziyun's words changed: "Don't worry about these first, you come to Troy to do business, I can provide you with convenience, but I have some requirements." ”
Speaking of this, Pei Ziyun looked at the surrounding businessmen, waiting for an answer.
The merchants glanced at each other, and someone stepped forward: "Prince Paris, we are all small merchants, what do you want, I'm afraid we may not be able to do it." ”
Pei Ziyun knew that these businessmen were all here for profit, and they really had important things to explain to them, not to say whether they were willing or not, it was difficult to say about their success.
In order to ensure that things go smoothly, I don't necessarily have to worry about these people.
But what he was going to hand over to them now was simple and easy, and Pei Ziyun was sure that they would agree to his request, so he said: "I already have three boats, and I actually wanted to go to various city-states to do some business for a long time, but I didn't know much about the local magnates and goods, so I didn't take this step for a long time. ”
He paused, glanced at the merchants around him, and continued: "I just need you to tell me about the local rich and nobles, and the prices of commodities when you come to Troy, and I think this should not be difficult for you merchants to walk around, right?"
"It's easy. The merchants responded, and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, if it was just this matter, it would really not be difficult for them, and a good relationship with Prince Paris would make it much easier to do business in Troy in the future.
In addition, Troy controls the Dardanelles, and the location of the traffic is very important, connecting the Aegean Sea and the Black Sea.
This alone must cater to the important magnates of Troy.
And now, no one can doubt that Prince Paris is an important magnate in Troy.
"That being the case, I hope we can work together happily. Pei Ziyun said with a smile, he didn't need to establish a special intelligence organization at all, and this was too conspicuous and easy to be discovered by the gods.
But for the sake of business, for the sake of gold, for the sake of wealth, to ask the magnates of the various city-states and the prices of goods, it is perfectly fine - every merchant does it instinctively.
Even if the gods are overseeing every day, they can only see a prince who loves wealth.
Like wealth, this is no problem for the Greeks, for the people of this era.
"It was a pleasure to work with. The crowd answered.
"Come, I have prepared a feast, and you will go with me. With that, he led everyone to the banquet hall together.
