Chapter 278: Auction
"By the way, Lord Viscount, a few days ago, the Diff family advertised that it seemed that a huge auction would be held in Kane City, among which there were many lots, not only the extraordinary fruit of the Diff family, but also a large number of knight-level potions, whether it was to help break through or improve cultivation, all of them would be auctioned, and there were some other treasures.
At the same time, the Diff family also rumored that they would sell some of the relics of the Hod Kingdom at auction.
As soon as this news was released, it immediately caused a sensation, and not only the nobles in the Principality of Kane, but also the nobles of the other three surrounding countries may participate in this auction. Andy suddenly thought.
"Oh, are the Diffs about to break the jar?" Alan said with a wry smile.
But after thinking about it, it is not impossible for the Diff family to do this, after all, the outside world already knows that the Div family has inherited the relics of the Hod Kingdom, even if they hide it no matter how useless it is, it is better to admit it generously.
What puzzled Alan was that the Diff family held an auction at this time, which was indeed a bit subtle, and the Div family should have its own purpose, and Alan couldn't easily guess it.
However, Alan decided in his heart that he must participate in this auction house, not to mention whether he can detect the purpose of the Div family, such a big auction, there must be a lot of good things in it, and Alan does not want to miss it.
"When, exactly?"
"It's July 1st!, my lord!" Andy said.
"Lord Viscount! Lear, the captain of the Musen caravan, asks to see you!" just then, a guard from outside came and said.
Allen's face was stunned, he didn't summon Lear, how could he rush over when it rained so heavily?
"Let him in!"
"Yes!"
Andy on the side also had a strange face, and when he left home, he just told his father that Lord Viscount had summoned him, but he didn't expect his father to come over.
"Then the Viscount, the subordinates will go down first!" said Andy.
"No, just sit here!" Alan waved his hand, if it was someone else, Andy really needed to avoid suspicion, but since Andy and Lear were father and son, this step would be avoided.
"Lord Viscount!"
As soon as Allen's words fell, Lear, who was a little fat, hurried over from outside the door and saluted Allen.
"Captain Lear, sit down!" Alan gestured to the spot next to Andy.
"Thank you, Lord Viscount!" Lear was not surprised to see Andy, and sat down on Andy's right hand.
Andy, on the other hand, smiled wryly.
"Captain Lear, what are you braving such a heavy rain for?" asked Allen, feeling a little amused.
Hearing Allen's inquiry, Lear's face became serious, and he said with some anger: "Lord Viscount! Some time ago, the Blue Water Caravan had been established, and according to the agreement, the goods of our Musen Caravan could be sold through the channels of the Blue Water Caravan, but I don't know what's going on, the Blue Water Caravan has been stuck with our goods, and it is simply intended to embarrass us." ”
Allen's eyes were cold after hearing this, according to his understanding of the Blue Water Caravan, this kind of thing had never happened before, and at the same time, he also believed that Lear would not lie to himself, so there was only one possibility, and people would make an obstacle from it, specifically targeting him Mu Sen Ling!
has a strength and this motive, Alan only thinks of one, Viscount Stark of Blue Water, as Viscount of Blue Water, his influence in the Blue Water Caravan is definitely much greater than Allen's, and he has this ability to get stuck in the Mu Sen Territory.
It seems that the lesson for this guy is not enough, now Count Reagan's backers Stark family has been greatly injured, he is basically no longer afraid of Count Reagan, Stark is a little shrimp who can be pinched to death at any time in his eyes, he doesn't go to him, he comes to provoke himself! Allen said angrily in his heart.
"I'll take care of this matter, don't worry!" Allen's eyes flashed with coldness.
"Yes!"
"Andy, send someone to find out about this first!" Alan commanded after a moment of thought.
"Got it, sir. Andy nodded.
............
At noon the next day, the sun was shining and in the garden, Alan met with Barry.
Barry has been very busy since he was appointed by Allen as the Chief of Security, and his two brothers, Bartenbad, have a lot more leisure with Alan every day.
After all, Barry's security office has to manage hundreds of security sub-offices up and down Mu Senling, and the affairs reported every day are piled up.
"Lord Viscount! This is Orion Tosa of Green Leaf Village, Kinmori Town, he was hunting in the mountains during the heavy rain yesterday, in order to avoid the rain, he rushed to a cave, and found that dozens of people with weapons in their hands, fierce faces, and bandits, one of them seemed to be a certain figure of the leader, and he was wearing a jewel crown on his head! I think these people are unknown and may not be good for the nearby lords, so I have come to report it to you!" Barry pointed to Tosa, who was reluctant behind him.
After escaping from the cave yesterday, he found a hole in a tree and waited until the evening when the rain stopped, and then he was able to return to the village, but when he returned home, Tosa felt a little uneasy, and finally knocked on the door of the village security office overnight, and told the guards what he had seen, and the guards felt that the matter was a bit serious, so they reported it directly to the headquarters.
When Barry learned of this, he rushed to Fort Musen with Tosa.
"Are you sure it's true?" said Alan a little suspicious, glancing at Tosa, and then turning to Barry.
After all, over the years, there have been no bandits at all, and now it is hard to believe that there are dozens of suspected bandits near Mu Senling.
“...... My lord, I think this must be true for Tosa to see!, after all, he has no reason to deceive us!" Barry paused and said earnestly.
"Good!" Alan nodded, and instead of saying anything else, he had Andy called over.
If this matter is true, then Allen has to pay attention to it, whether these people are bandits, or the deserters who fled into the Black Dragon Mountain Range in a panic when the Three Kingdoms Alliance was defeated, now they are extremely close to the Musen Domain, which seriously threatens the safety of the people of the Musen Domain, once discovered, they will be directly exterminated.
"Lord Viscount!" Andy quickly rushed over after being summoned by Allen.
Alan motioned for Barry to explain what had happened to Andy first.
After a few minutes, Alan said, "You should already know the situation, wait until you send a team of shadows into that mountain forest to find the traces of those people!"
Andy smiled and said, "My lord, I don't think I need to, I probably know the origin of these people!"
"Oh!" Alan was a little surprised, and Barry on the side also looked stunned.
"Tell me about it!" said Allen, with some curiosity.
