In order to corroborate his claim, Eugen turned to Palma and said, "Come, Palma, tell me everything you know about Viscount Tariq, and let me know something about my enemies." ”

Parma had been standing respectfully beside him, and when he heard this, he stepped forward and slowly narrated: "Viscount Tariq is a member of the Vedina family, with about 5,000 troops, of which 2,000 are light cavalry sent here from Saxony, and in terms of military strength, it can be said that it accounts for about half of the entire Lebor region, but because of the huge army to support, the income and expenses of the territory can only barely be equal.....

Butler Ruud walked to the first floor, and soon found the figure of Viscount Pigard, and walked towards the Viscount.

However, after seeing Viscount Bard opposite Viscount Pigard, he stood beside Viscount Pigard and did not speak.

Bard didn't pay attention to the little butler, but said to himself, "What do you mean?" You're going to work with me to fight Tariq? ”

"Yes, Viscount Bard. Now that Tariq is powerful, the new Count Eugen is just a coward, and he is almost scared to pee his pants in front of Tariq, and you have to help him to keep him from getting out of trouble. So I want to work with you to deal with the threat of Tariq. Viscount Pigard said with a smile, his hands crossed in front of him, trying to look genuine.

Viscount Bard's gaze was not on him, but at a young lady in front of him to the left, and Pigard's disparagement of Eugen made him very useful.

"That's right, that Eugen is really not a thing, I helped him, I just wanted him to help introduce the beautiful woman, and he refused me without even thinking about it. Hmph, if it weren't for the emperor's face, I would have sent troops to arrest him and tie him up in my prison. ”

Bard's tone was a little relaxed, but he never mentioned the matter of cooperating against Tariq, he was actually very afraid of that 'Wolf Lord' in his heart, and his comprehensive strength was also the weakest among the three major families.

Pigard knew what Viscount Bard's hobbies were, so he leaned over to Bard's ear and whispered in a seductive tone: "Viscount Bard, my uncle has just returned from the sea, and he has brought back a group of Persian girls from the other side of the sea, all of them tall and bumpy, I wonder if Viscount Bard is interested in going to my place." ”

This sentence instantly hit Bud's soft underbelly, his breathing immediately became rapid, his eyes showed an undisguised lewd light, he turned his head to stare at Pigard and said, "Viscount Pigard, you ...... What do you mean? ”

Pigard rubbed his hands together and said in a pimp's tone, "Hehe, I mean, of course Viscount Bard knows. I don't need you to send troops, as long as you show your support for me in public, it will be a great help to me. ”

Although Bard had some scruples in his heart, he was eventually overcome by desire and reason. With longing in his eyes, he said, "Okay, okay, isn't it just to show it?" I will bring it up in public at the meeting tomorrow afternoon, and I will not go back to my castle after this banquet, but will follow you directly to you. ”

Receiving Bard's promise, Pigarde smiled heartily, raised his glass to him and said, "Very good, then I wish us a happy cooperation, Viscount Bard is really my lucky star." ”

Bud clinked glasses with him and said with a smile, "Why, you're my lucky star, I've never tried a Persian girl." ”

Pigard glanced at him with a smile, then said goodbye and walked away with Ruud's butler to the corner.

Bud watched his departing back, the smile on his face fading away, and there was a hint of secrecy in his eyes. Then the meaning faded away, and the picture of indulgence and pleasure was restored, and he was thrown into the circle of several aristocratic ladies.

Coming to the corner, Ruud's butler didn't wait for Pigard to ask, and then took the initiative to speak: "Young master, the earl has already agreed, and he has not put forward too many conditions. As he spoke, he briefly described Eugen's conditions.

"Trade permits? What does he want this thing to do? Is he going to do business with us? Sure enough, Eugen's request alerted Pigaard, but like everyone else, he couldn't understand what Eugen really thought.

Ruud's butler nodded, and said confidently: "It should be, but with Wittelsbach's background, even if he Eugen is in a hundred years, it is impossible for him to confront us on the road of business, so I will make my own decisions and directly agree to him." ”

Pigard nodded, he had already granted the butler some authority, allowing him to agree to Eugen's terms within certain limits.

"Also, a trade permit is nothing, and I will write a letter to the Duke of Lorraine when I go back this time, asking him to sign a trade permit and send it over." Viscount Pigard said slowly.

Then the gold coin reported by Ruud's butler to Viscount Pigard was indeed 200,000 Kild, and Pigard just glanced at him and didn't ask much.

To him, this amount of gold was insignificant, and what he cared about now was the overall situation of the three alliances. Under his manipulation, both Bud and Eugen have been strapped to his chariot to fight against Tariq.

And one of the two is in the light and the other in the dark, and it is impossible to communicate with each other if they are hostile, which is the most beneficial situation for him.

"Hmph, that reckless man Tariq still wants to fight me. And 'Wolf Lord', see that I don't strip his minions and turn him into a submissive pug. Pigard said fiercely, with a terrifying stinging glint in his eyes.

Several families had their own ghosts, and the banquet was held in a strange atmosphere, but this did not affect everyone's interest. For those nobles who do not have decision-making power, they can enjoy themselves together at the banquet today, and draw their swords on the battlefield tomorrow.

Day after day, it's just life.

As the night passed, most of the low-class nobles who had been in good hands looked for rooms in the hotel, and the representatives of the three families, Vetina, Wittelsbach, and Welf, left by car.

They all had private residences in the city of Leber, where it was safer and more comfortable to rest.

As for the next day's meeting, it was not held in a hotel, but was arranged by Eugen in a 'temporary office'. As for where it was, Eugen didn't elaborate, and the next day someone would naturally lead the people of the three major families there.

Eugen chartered the hotel for three whole days, during which those lower-class nobles could continue to enjoy the banquet, and the meeting did not require too many people to participate, and those who did not have real power would naturally be arranged at will, and in the end they were just reduced to the background.

This is their misfortune and at the same time their luck.
