The tavern was still noisy late at night, and Alan couldn't sleep, standing by the railing of the corridor and quietly watching the strong men at the table drinking with each other, laughing from time to time.

It is said that the tavern is a paradise for mercenaries, and when Alan saw it today, he sighed in his heart that it was indeed the case.

The crescent moon is now Allen's personal bodyguard, and it is natural to accompany him at the moment, watching him look at the scene downstairs.

After a while, the door to another guest room on the second floor of the tavern was opened, and Locke hurried over.

"Master, you haven't slept yet. ”

"Well, it's a little noisy, I can't sleep. ”

"Then I'll go down and make them quiet!"

After saying that, Locke turned around and was about to go down to discipline these guys, but Alan reached out to stop him.

"Forget it, I didn't choose a good place, so don't spoil these people's interest. ”

Most of the mercenaries are not strong, and they have been licking blood from the knife, and if they are not happy today, they may die tomorrow.

"I've heard that taverns tend to be the most well-informed places, so when this happens, you can find some people in this kind of place and arrange it. ”

Locke nodded in response, and although Alan didn't say it explicitly, he knew that he was referring to the construction of an intelligence organization.

"By the way, Dinah, are they all arranged?"

"Well, I followed those spies to the place, in the backyard of the Peters Family Chamber of Commerce, and everyone arranged to live nearby. ”

After Locke whispered, he asked, "Shall we do it in the middle of the night tonight?"

Alan shook his head, "The actual situation is not clear now, killing one person alone won't make much difference, let's take a look at the specific situation tomorrow and adapt to the situation." ”

That's the disadvantage of not having intelligence, and if Alan knew the location of those elders now, he would pull them out one by one and talk about them.

"Okay, then I'll go tell them to get some rest. ”

Before turning around, Locke turned around and instructed, "Young Master, go back and rest too." ”

Alan nodded slightly, and after watching Locke leave, he turned around and returned to the room with the crescent moon.

The long autumn night slowly calmed down in the noise of the tavern, until the early morning only the bartender who had just arrived to change his shift was in good spirits.

"Young master, I'll go get you water and wash your face. ”

As soon as Alan got up from the bed, the crescent moon's ears trembled slightly, and he immediately got up from the chair.

"Don't worry, I'll enjoy the morning sun, you go to bed." ”

Last night Alan asked Crescent Moon to go to bed, but she remained motionless at the table and insisted on keeping vigil.

However, the crescent moon did not go to the bed, but went straight to the window and blocked in front of Alan.

"It's better not to stand here, it's dangerous by the window. ”

“......”

Alan was helpless, and he didn't know how to refute it, so he could only obediently return to the window.

It didn't take long for there to be movement in the tavern again, and Ou Siman and the others also got up, and after a simple meal, everyone went to the Peters Family Chamber of Commerce.

For Xi Deng, who arranged eyeliner near the tavern, he naturally grasped Allen's movements and waited at the door of the Chamber of Commerce early.

"Good day, Baron Allen. ”

Siden is a merchant without a title, so he must have enough etiquette in the face of Allen so that he will not be despised by others.

"Welcome, Sedan Peters, you can visit the Chamber of Commerce as you like, and I can personally give you half price if you like anything. ”

Alan listened to Siden's polite words with a smile on his face, he meant that Alan would stay in the front room, and if they were to discuss things in the backyard, they would clearly squeeze Alan out.

Sedon looked at Alan and was silent, and added: "At the same time, the Peters family specially arranged a drinking party for Baron Allen in the evening, and Field's eldest son, Young Master Owen, is also there, and I hope you can find time......"

"I'm afraid it won't work at night, Mr. Siden, for a salt mine has recently been discovered in the Merlin family's domain, and I must hurry back and guard it. ”

"Salt Mine?!" Xi Deng was instantly shocked, this is the most optimistic thing for the inland caravan!

Alan nodded, and said with an embarrassed face: "I came with Osiman today, originally to discuss the mining and sale of this salt mine with the Peters Chamber of Commerce, but it seems that Mr. Siden doesn't like me to participate in ......."

Speaking of this, Alan paused and looked at Ou Siman, who immediately made a look of pity and spread his hands.

"Farewell. ”

After leaving these words, Alan turned to leave.

"Wait a minute, Baron Allen!"

Xi Deng, who was excited, didn't control his strength well for a while, and his voice was so loud that it startled everyone.

"You misunderstood Baron Allen, I didn't mean that, I actually wanted to give you some gifts in this way. But I don't think you can see anything in this shop, so please go and sit in the back!"

There are four existing salt mines in the western provinces, all of which are large salt mines, and according to this calculation, the Merlin family's territory must be not small, and it will definitely help the Peters family open up the situation in the north!

When the time comes, the Peters family will be able to smoothly connect with the ore, weapons, and slave trade, and it will be a great profit!

Siden had received news that Field was plotting against the Merlin family, but he didn't care, and now he understands that it was for the salt mine!

"Oh, I see. ”

Alan looked at the somewhat flattering Sidden, who was really a businessman, and immediately changed his face when he saw the benefits.

"However, I heard that today is an internal meeting of the Peters family, and I will not be too abrupt to participate?"

"This ......"

Xi Deng was stunned, he originally planned to invite Alan to the backyard and take out some real things to stabilize him first, but he didn't expect Alan to directly say the main purpose.

In fact, Allen's request is very excessive, but in the eyes of Sidden, it is still necessary to have enough benefits.

Seeing that Siden in front of him was still hesitating, Alan immediately helped him add fuel to the fire,

"If it's inconvenient, forget it, I'll just take a stroll around this Gray Wing City to see if there are any chambers of commerce that can cooperate. ”

"No, there is no inconvenience!"

The threat in Allen's words was heard by Siden, but for the sake of the salt mines, he decided to hold back.

"Originally, our meeting this time was to discuss the future plan of the Peters Chamber of Commerce, and since Baron Allen has brought me such a great cooperation, I think it is necessary for you to have a deep understanding of our Chamber of Commerce. ”

For the cooperation of the salt mine, Sidden was ruthless in his heart, and it was a big deal to sacrifice Owen.

"Baron Allen, please!"

Without hesitation, Alan walked straight ahead in the direction pointed by Xi Deng, thinking that this Great Elder was exactly the same as Ou Siman said, and there was no bottom line and discipline for the sake of gold coins.

The Peters House Council wasn't too far away, but it was secluded enough, and it was led by Sidden through the back corridor and into a large courtyard.

Siden pointed at Locke and the others, and motioned, "Baron Allen, your guards have to wait outside. ”

Locke glanced at Allen, who nodded, and everyone took a step back and stood at the door, only the crescent moon did not retreat but advanced,

"I am the baron's personal lady-in-waiting, and must serve by his side. ”
