This time, after the Wentian Alliance and the Hill Business Alliance negotiated to settle in Astor City, there were only two business alliances left in the top ten multinational business alliances in the mainland that had not made any progress. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info one is the business alliance of the royal family of the Ingkaran Empire, and the other is the business alliance of the Bright Kingdom. They have been behind their opponents for three or four years in this matter, and they have fallen to the bottom two places in the rankings. According to this momentum, within two years, the royal family's business alliance will definitely fall out of the top ten.

Other business alliances may not care about this. But the merchant alliance of the royal family of the Ingkaran Empire could not be left unconcerned, because their country practiced a wartime economy. As a result of the wartime economy, the domestic economic structure has become dysfunctional, and their dependence on foreign trade is very high.

If it falls out of the top 10 of the mainland's multinational business alliances, it means that it has lost the right to speak in the market. This was fatal to the Inkallan Empire. Once the right to speak in the market is lost, the domestic economy is in danger of collapsing, and the people's living standards are also in danger of further decline, and the consequences are unpredictable.

In addition, if the Hill Merchant Alliance rises or even monopolizes the economy of the Ingkaran Empire, it will also have an impact on the status of the royal family. They are not the four super families, and they have ancestral training restrictions.

Therefore, it is imperative that the merchant alliance of the royal family of the Ingkaran Empire enter Astor City and strive to start trade with the elves as soon as possible. They can't afford to wait.

However, in any case, the bottom line of the old Raphael has not changed, that is, he cannot let Sun Xiang return to the Testo Empire and find an opportunity to kill Sun Xiang.

After thinking about it for a long time, the old Rafael asked Rafael Pu to find him, and after making a serious explanation, he asked Pu to ask Tianmeng to see Sun Xiang.

Sun Xiang also studied Rafael Pu and knew that he was the fourth-ranked master of the "Eight Heroes" and the chosen successor to the throne of the Incaran Empire. The current emperor of the Inkaran Empire is very old, and now Pu has begun to assist his father in the administration of the court, and is gradually becoming familiar with the operation of the empire.

After a few words of greeting, the two of them exchanged words. Rafael Pu asked with a little concern: "I don't know if Marquis Sun is still used to living here?" The three ladies came here with the lord, and we were a little lazy. If it's convenient, I'd like to apologize to them in person. ”

Sun Xiang sighed secretly. It seems that Meng Shalu and Meng'er still aroused each other's suspicions. Sun Xiang replied politely, "Thank you, Your Royal Highness the Prince, for your concern." It is also an honour for me to be here in your country. Today, I visited the capital with my family, which really opened our eyes and made us feel that the trip was worthwhile. After a day of shopping, they are also a little tired, and now it is time to rest. I'm sorry. ”

Pu said apologetically: "I was negligent." In a few days, I will hold a banquet for Marquis Sun and his wife, which can be regarded as an apology for the neglect some time ago. ”

Sun Xiang shook his head: "Thank you, Your Royal Highness, you should know that I am not used to being noisy." I will appreciate the kindness of His Royal Highness the Prince, and the banquet will be waived. ”

Seeing that Sun Xiang refused his invitation without hesitation, Pu's face showed anger, although it was only a short moment, but it was still discovered by Sun Xiang.

"Marquis Sun, you know, we are at war with the orcs, in fact, this is also a helpless move, because the orcs have occupied a large amount of our territory in the past few hundred years. We're just taking over the lost ground. Under the guidance of the Doctrine of Light, we did not adopt a policy of extermination against the orcs we captured, but actively reformed them so that they could live in peace with us humans in the future. Speaking of this, Pu paused and checked Sun Xiang's expression. But he didn't see anything.

Sun Xiang didn't know what Puti's purpose of this war was, but he was too lazy to listen. He has no interest in the war in the secular world, which is a habit he developed when he was in the Divine Continent. Although the war here is dominated and participated in by martial artists, in Sun Xiang's eyes, it is no different from the war in the secular world of Shenzhou. If the other party is not a prince, he will immediately interrupt the other party and ask the other party directly about the purpose of coming here.

Seeing Sun Xiang's calm expression, Pu had no choice but to continue: "Because of the war, what we practice is a wartime economy. Also, due to the war, there was a great shortage of labor in our rear. Therefore, by acknowledging the legitimacy of the existence and trade of alien slaves, we are trying to make up for this shortcoming. Saying this, he paused again and glanced at Sun Xiang.

Sun Xiang understood, the other party went around in a circle, or aimed at Meng Shalu and Meng'er. He thought quickly in his mind, could it be the news leaked by the Hill Business Alliance? But what's in it for the Hill Alliance? He was prepared not to express his opinion until he had figured out the intentions of the other party.

Seeing that Sun Xiang still didn't speak, Pu had no choice but to say directly: "Some time ago, the slaves escorted by the Hill Merchant Alliance were robbed halfway. The two slaves belonged to the Empire, and the Hill Merchant Alliance was only commissioned by the Empire to make this transaction. Although the Hill Business Alliance later compensated for the loss as agreed, and they also issued a wanted warrant for the robber, there has been no progress so far. ”

Speaking of this, Pu's tone began to become heavier, and he looked at Sun Xiang and became serious: "Marquis Sun, you went out shopping today, but someone came to the yamen after seeing it and reported that you were the robber, and two of your three female companions were robbed slaves. ”

Sun Xiang shook his head secretly, but fortunately, Sun Ying reminded himself in time last night and made himself a little prepared. Then, he looked at Pu and finally spoke: "Your Royal Highness, since someone has reported it, why don't you follow the procedures to handle the case, but let your honorable you come here?" ”

Rafael Pu seemed to have expected Sun Xiang to ask such a question, and immediately replied: "The Sun family is one of the super families on the mainland, how can we let you be disgraced in the Inkalan Empire. ”

Sun Xiang smiled: "Thank you." It doesn't seem like the place where I robbed the two girls is in the territory of the Incalan Empire, right? If this is also subject to the laws of the Empire, then does it mean that the Inturais Empire can also try the people of the Incalan Empire at will, even if those people have not committed crimes in the territory of the Empire? Now he has directly admitted that he did the robbery.

Rafael Pu didn't care about Sun Xiang's words, and smiled and said, "Yes, you need that kingdom to make a request." You've broken the laws of that kingdom after all. ”

Sun Xiang agreed and said unconcernedly: "Okay. I don't want to leave here right away. We'll just wait for the kingdom to make a request. ”

Rafael Pu smiled bitterly: "Lord Sun is so courageous. In fact, we all know that this is impossible. How dare that kingdom offend the super family with the Sage in charge? In particular, the robbery has little to do with them. However, have you thought about it, the wanted warrant of the Hill Business Alliance has not been revoked. ”

Sun Xiang nodded: "Yes, although you gave me a special pass, you didn't send anyone to protect me." I'm also afraid, of those who take risks for the sake of a high bounty. So, I asked the Hill Merchant Alliance to send someone to keep me and the women around me safe. ”

Rafael Pu was stunned for a moment, and he was also confused by the actions of the Hill Business Alliance.

Then, Pu, who had returned to normal, asked maliciously, "Marquis Sun believes in the people of the Hill Business Alliance so much?" Aren't you afraid that they will do it in the dark? ”

Sun Xiang replied affirmatively, "I believe in them." ”

Rafael P stood up, looked at Sun Xiang, and said meaningfully, "Okay. I hope Lord Sun has a good time here. "Say goodbye and leave.

Looking at Rafael Pu's back, Sun Xiang's face became heavy.

Sun Xiang can roughly guess the purpose of Rafael Pu's visit today, which is nothing more than to enter Astor City. In order to get Sun Xiang to agree to their entry, Rafael Pucai threatened the Hill Merchant Alliance in order to force himself to compromise with them. Just like the messenger of the Hill Business Alliance, he directly exposed Sun Xiang as a robber to increase his chips. However, Rafael and the others miscalculated, because the Hill Business Alliance actually sent guards to protect Sun Xiang and the others, and obviously did not want to directly pursue this matter.

At the beginning, he had a conflict with Shao Kai in the teleportation array, so he could only take the two girls to hide in the Wentian League. In the end, he appeared as his original identity and resolved the crisis brought by Shao Kai. However, after Shao Kai's crisis was resolved, he is now facing an even greater crisis. Rafael Pu's threat and Hill's ambiguity made Sun Xiang feel dangerous. And it is an unforeseen danger.

The next day, Sun Xiang took the three girls to continue playing in the capital of the Ingkaran Empire, but no one dared to come forward to provoke them. But Sun Xiang began to be vigilant, always letting go of his senses, observing and listening to the discussions of the people around him. This is especially true when eating at a restaurant at noon.

He knew what happened to Shao Kai and his cousin. I also know that Rafael Xuan has become the laughing stock of the people in the capital, and Sassoon has also played a certain role. In the evening, he finally heard rumors about him, rumors about the robbery of the Hill Merchant Alliance.

When he returned to the Wentian Alliance, Sun Xiang finally waited for the escort sent by the Xier Business Alliance. According to the agreement between him and the Hill Business Alliance, a total of twenty warriors came, and the leader was the strength of the middle stage of the Great Sword Master, surnamed Zhao. The rest of the people, the lowest strength is also in the middle stage of the sword master, and the vast majority of them are the strength of the late stage of the sword master. At this time, these twenty martial artists had all lived on the floor that Sun Xiang had chartered.
