Chapter 435: Duke Tuckerman
"What the hell are you doing?" Sauron's face was blue, and the sudden change made him grit his teeth in hatred while panicking. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
Zheng Fei shrugged his shoulders and didn't reply, and nodded to Santiago, who picked up his arm without thinking about it and punched Sauron hard, hitting him in the cheek.
Sauron stumbled and almost fell to the ground, but was held up by his men, he shook his head in a daze, and saw Santiago pick up his arms fiercely, and hurriedly shouted, "Don't... I say... My buyer above was Duke Tukman who was also the general of the artillery unit. ”
"Where does he live?" Zheng Feigao raised his head with an indifferent expression.
"In a manor in the north of the city, I can take you there now. ”
"You're so happy, aren't you playing a trap on me?" Zheng Fei smiled, staring at his eyes without moving.
After hesitating for a moment, Sauron's face gradually faded from panic, and he smiled evilly: "If I don't tell you, the end will definitely be miserable, but if I say it, there will be no loss, because Duke Tukman has dealings with dozens of arms dealers, no matter how much gunpowder he transports, he can collect it all, you can't steal my job." ”
"You're smart. Zheng Feinu mouthed.
After that, Zheng Fei instructed the Spartan warriors to keep Sauron's men in custody, and he took a few people into the carriage and went straight to the north of the city under Sauron's guidance.
Along the way, Sauron sat in the carriage with his head down, regretting his miscalculation, who would have thought that the other party would have so many thugs.
Late at night, Copenhagen is shrouded in silence, with a cold wind blowing through the bleak streets, rolling up dead leaves and drifting around.
The people were asleep, and the streets were sparsely populated, except for the occasional patrol and the drunks who had just come out of the taverns, and, of course, the rich kids who came out at night to have fun.
After about half an hour's work, Sauron looked ahead, and could vaguely see the outline of a castle there.
"It's here. He said with a blank face.
"Don't play tricks. Santiago grabbed his arm and pressed it down.
"Shhhh It's really here, if you don't believe it, you can ask someone, this is the residence of Duke Tukman . ”
"Santiago, let go of him. Zheng Fei ordered: "You stay here and watch him, don't forget to take a cloth ball to gag his mouth." ”
With that, he jumped out of the carriage and, accompanied by Brad and two Spartan warriors, strode along the moonlit street to the castle manor a hundred meters away.
In front of the iron fence, they stopped.
In the small cabin equivalent to the guard's room, a disheveled sentry ran out, he hurriedly twisted the buttons, and walked over to look at Zheng Fei across the fence.
"Who are you looking for?" said the sentry, buttoning a row of buttons.
"Does Duke Tukman live here?" Zheng Fei smiled politely.
"Our lord is seeing an important guest, and it's not convenient right now. The sentry looked up at the moon's position, and said, "Besides, it's so late, it's time to rest." ”
"Please tell him that I have a big deal to talk to him about. Zheng Fei took out a few gold coins and shook them in front of his eyes and put them in his pocket.
Probably out of embarrassment, the sentry coughed dryly, when the door to the cabin creaked open, and a woman in her pajamas with her shoulders bare appeared, leaning against the door frame in a sultry pose.
"Honey, why haven't you come in yet. ”
The woman's delicate voice was so sweet that it seemed that she was engaged in a special profession.
The sentry's embarrassment took it to the next level, waving her back into the house, and then quickly opening the door to let the guests in.
"I'll go tell the lord first, you can go around the neighborhood, but don't mess around, we have a lot of sled dogs here, and it doesn't taste good to be bitten by them. ”
The sentry shrugged his shoulders and ran as fast as he could towards the flickering castle, dodging through the castle gates.
The manor was surprisingly deserted, and there were many watchtowers, but there was no one on them, and there were only a dozen or so idle men in the whole manor, who sat around the small cabins, borrowed the stove for heating, and roasted meat, and talked about what they had seen and heard during the day.
"With such a large manor, the owner is both a duke and a general, and there is only this little guard power?" Zheng Fei had such doubts in his heart, and his brows tightened.
"Maybe it's because of the expedition plan, all the armed forces that can be used are contributed to the army... Well, I'll take a look around first. The corners of Brad's mouth curled slightly, and his gaze rested on the castle walls.
"Stay safe. Zheng Fei advised.
Brad had just walked for a while when the sentry who had gone in to report came back and stood in front of Zheng Fei panting.
"The lord said that he still has to talk to the guest for a while, if you are not in a hurry to leave, you can go to the hall and wait first, our manor has nothing else, and there is enough wine." ”
Zheng Fei nodded happily, accompanied by two Spartan warriors, entered the castle gate, walked into the hall surrounded by warm lights, and sat down on the sofa.
The butler and the servants were already asleep, and the sentry had to do their job, taking the bottle of red wine from the wine cabinet for the guests, carefully removing the cork, and taking the glass for a moment.
He took out four glasses and looked back at the guests in confusion, there were only three.
"I remember that there were four people before... Are you dazzled?" he muttered, putting back one of the extra glasses.
Tasting the best red wine, Zheng Fei waited quietly for the Duke of Tukman as time passed minute by minute with the sound of insects chirping in the grass.
Finally, half an hour later, Duke Tukman finished talking about things, sent the previous guest down the stairs and out of the door, and then came to Zheng Fei with a polite smile.
"I should have rested so late, but as soon as I heard that you had brought me great business, I immediately came to my senses. He poured himself a glass of wine, took a sip, paused and said, "Tell me, what kind of big list?"
"Thirty ships of gunpowder. ”
The Duke's eyes lit up.
"Oh, the goods I am most happy to receive now are gunpowder, the price of gunpowder has been getting higher and higher by you arms dealers in recent months, I really hope your asking price can be cheaper. ”
"How about eight thousand silver coins per ship?"
"That's not that expensive, but I'm going to take a look at the goods first. ”
Zheng Fei had long expected such a situation, he smiled slightly, and took out the packet of powder that he had prepared earlier.
The Duke picked up the powder and sniffed it on the tip of his nose, then sprinkled it on the ground, picked up the candle and lit it, and stabbed it until it burned completely.
"This gunpowder is really good, when will you be able to deliver it?" he smiled with satisfaction.
"Tomorrow, where will the goods be delivered?"
"My warehouse is in a fortress two kilometers to the north, and I will be waiting for you there tomorrow afternoon. (To be continued.) )
