Chapter 313: Night Battle (2)
Although he didn't find the black-robed man again, Barrett knew in his heart that since the other party had found him again, he would meet again in the future. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
After standing at the intersection for a few seconds, he chose to head west of the city.
According to the density of guards and the distribution of personnel, it is safer to move in this direction.
Eventually, Barrett found a tavern that was still open.
Since there are many humans in the west of the city, there are still many places that humans like.
Pushing the door in, I found that except for three or two drinkers, there were only two bartenders and a waiter.
Sitting down at the bar, Barrett pointed to a bottle of wine on the shelf and said, "Come here." ”
The bartender was stunned for a moment, and he reminded: "Sir, this wine is imported from Frost, and it is very strong. ”
In general, this kind of wine is used as a blend of auxiliary wines, and it is rarely used as the main wine.
Nodding, Barrett smiled, "It's okay, I don't have a job at night anyway." ”
The bartender didn't say anything, he raised his hand and removed the bottle.
He was about to pour wine, but he saw a drinker sitting not far away talking.
"You're from the Southern Sector?" As he spoke, he leaned a few meters over the side.
Barrett glanced at him, wearing a windproof linen coat and a black cloth cape.
There is also a cloth wrapped around his head, and at first glance, he knows that he is a merchant from the Western Star Region who has come here, or a guard.
Since most of the merchants in the western region are bandits, it is not surprising that they have this kind of dress.
"Oh? How can you tell? Barrett reached out and took the glass, then asked curiously.
"I happened to be in the Southern Star Sector for a while, with the caravan, of course." The man said, pointing to Barrett's outfit.
"Only you people would dress like this, and those of you who are used to living here know that the Nala people don't like you dressed like that." The man smiled and stretched out his left hand: "My name is Mo Khan, and I am a guard for the Serusa caravan. ”
Barrett nodded, this was his negligence, the Nala people really didn't like his revealing attire, they all liked to wrap themselves tightly.
The merchants who often come here know this, and naturally they will not touch their moldy heads at will.
On the contrary, I was used to staying in the southern district and forgot about it.
Stretching out his hands and holding them together, Barrett said according to his arranged identity: "My surname is Lin, you can call me that." ”
"I'm Mrs. Osavetti's butler, and I'm here to talk about cooperation with Mrs. Osaveti this time." Although the new identities of the three had long been known to General Kreuzer, they still used this identity to report to the pass.
The bartender listened to him say Mrs. Osavetti and became interested.
A small glass of plum wine was added to the two of them, and the bartender interjected: "Oh, this lady, I know, our boss still has business dealings with her, it is said that she is a Nala merchant who does business in the Southern Star District, specializing in wine and silk. ”
Pointing to the wine he had poured for Barrett just now, the bartender suddenly realized: "No wonder you know this wine, this kind of white dry is transported by your caravan!" ”
Nodding, Barrett was glad that the bartender had indirectly corroborated his identity.
A tip was given to the bartender, and Barrett was a lot more generous, a hundred naru, which was equivalent to an entire night's income for a bartender who worked in a non-aristocratic district.
"I want to eat something, can you go to the back kitchen and help me see what else to eat?" Barrett knew what Mohan was trying to say, but he didn't open his mouth because the bartender was there.
The bartender took his money, and was naturally very courteous, turned around and went to the back kitchen.
Barrett looked at Mo Han and said with a smile: "My hands are itchy, do you want to have two?" ”
Mo Khan looked at the poker on the wooden round table and nodded, "Okay, I just like this thing too." ”
Sitting down at the round table facing each other, the two began to play poker.
The gameplay is very simple, that is, one for each person, and you can win or lose instantly, but you can bet before looking at the cards, or you can spend three times the bet for a card.
After playing a few games, both of them have their own wins and losses.
As the cards were shuffled, Mohan whispered, "I wonder if Mrs. Osaveti has any intention of investing in some profitable industries?" ”
Barrett's heart moved, this is really not an ordinary person, ordinary drinkers generally drink their own, only people who think about things will be so enthusiastic.
"Madame, naturally I can't talk nonsense, but I still have some small money." Barrett didn't boast, but he casually gave a reward of 100 Naru, which also made Mohan see that he was not bragging.
"It's very profitable, and at a time like this, it's a kind of security." Mo Han said mysteriously, after all, the two of them are testing each other now, let's see each other's reactions first.
"Oh? Very profitable? How much to earn? "Don't ask what the goods are, first ask how much profit there is, a typical businessman-style tone, Barrett has learned a lot of such routines, these are all taught to him by Wang Hui.
"Three to ten times the profit, if the lady is willing to invest more, it is not impossible to even get a hundred times the profit." Mo Khan opened his mouth, this number is very tempting.
"There are not many products in the western region that can reach this profit." Of course, Barrett will not be fooled by the numbers in his mouth, he knows that many scammers promise heavy profits first, and after getting the money, he doesn't care who you are.
"You really know, I can't fool you!" Mohan put down his cards, which he had already lost.
Then he leaned over and whispered in Barrett's ear: "Self-defense guy, the firepower is comparable to military supplies, and there is no need for information authentication!" ”
Barrett's eyes lit up, and he understood who this man was, the merchant of Bath......
This road is really a good road! He admired, sell weapons to caravanserais? Probably even the so-called fanatics here bought explosives and weapons from Bass?
It's still that guy who has a hand in business!
Seeing Barrett's expression, Mohan knew that there was a play, although Barrett did not answer, but the light in his eyes clearly indicated that he was very interested.
"It's just our self-defense, and there's no profit." Despite his interest, Barrett has the attitude of a veteran player, and he knows that no matter how much he wants, he has to pretend that this thing is not as good as you can boast about.
"You can sell it! I can guarantee that as long as you want enough of it, you can control the market here. Mohan looked sincere.
At this point, Barrett became alert, and he laughed: "Hahaha, you are too anxious. ”
Watching the bartender come over with the food, Barrett didn't continue, but his expression was obvious.
Even if Mrs. Osaveti is rich, it is very problematic for you to be so straightforward.
It wasn't until the bartender walked back to the back of the bar that Mohan looked Barrett in the eye and said, "You don't think I found you casually, do you?" ”
Mo Khan said mysteriously, "You should have seen our people! Since you have been in port, we are ready to contact you. ”
Barrett's eyes were cold, he stared at Mohan's face, and his hand touched behind him.
Mo Khan naturally knew what he meant, and quickly explained: "We have no malice! It's true! ”
As he spoke, he put his hands on the table, trying to prove that he wasn't aggressive.
"How did you find us?" Could it be that Bass already knows something? Barrett was a little unsure, he was actually a little panicked.
Seeing Barrett's movements stop, Mohan calmed down.
"Because of that birdcage." Mo Han said: "Our internal information, only the Mozhu Chamber of Commerce can make such a good thing. ”
"Even the fleet of the Mozhu Chamber of Commerce this time only sent four golden silk emerald stone birdcages to the Star Alliance."
"And two of them have already been decided by the two big shots, to put it bluntly, the one in Madame's hand is the only one on the auction floor, or the one that is now sent to the auction hall is the spare piece." With a smug look on his face, Mo Khan was showing off his information.
"Hehe, my wife has had this kind of birdcage for a long time." Barrett still couldn't believe his words, and directly pointed out his loopholes.
"Listen to me! I also believe that your wife has had this kind of birdcage for a long time, but this one must be one of the four that was sent. Mohan shook his head and said, "Because there are still four in Farnet, and there are only three left in Omas, so ......"
He didn't go on, he knew that sometimes it was far more effective not to explain it than to explain it.
"Oh? So what do you mean? Barrett had murderous intent, he was afraid that Leffy's identity would be exposed, what went wrong?
Could it be that there are ghosts in the Mozhu Chamber of Commerce?
But Mohan obviously didn't know what Barrett was guessing, he said it according to his own train of thought, he had already seen that the person opposite should have misunderstood something.
"To be able to get this very valuable and sought-after goods, of course we know that Madame's connections and wealth are not comparable to ordinary people."
"I'll tell you the truth, here, we're not as beautiful as you think." Mo Khan told the truth, although Joshua was a woman, he still understood the principle of maintaining balance in order to be able to make a fortune in a muffled voice.
Speaking of this, Barrett understood that Mohan and the others did not find out the identities of several people, they just saw from the clues that they were very rich and related.
It seemed that the three of them were also under each other's gaze when they stayed in the rose garden, so it was no wonder that the man could find himself at once.
The birdcage in your hand is worth a lot of money, no, it should be said that you can't get it with money alone!
And he was so noble that he lived in the place where he usually received foreign guests, and just tonight Joshua, the governor of the place, went to see the lady.
Of course, Joshua was going to see His Highness Elijah, and they didn't know it.
Mo Khan and the others took a risk and found themselves, of course, for nothing else, for money!
The chill in his eyes gradually put away, and Barrett nodded and said, "I see, that's what happened." ”
His right hand also left the pistol behind him, and he also understood why the man would retreat directly instead of attacking at that time.
Because he did not dare to offend himself.
Seeing Barrett put away his hostility, Mohan breathed a sigh of relief, he knew he had passed.
He laughed, and was about to speak, when the door was violently kicked open, and several guards rushed in.
"Martial law in half an hour!! All those stranded outside are killed on the spot by fanatics! The leading guard showed the martial law order, and his eyes swept around several people, but he didn't find anything unusual.
But seeing that a few people didn't move, he scolded loudly: "What? Motionless? Are you going to ask us to go for a cup of tea? ”
The bartender woke up, hurriedly pressed the handbell at hand, and said, "Guest, our store is closed, you better go back!" ”
Mo Khan quickly stood up and rushed out the door, and as he walked past Barrett, he shoved a small note into Barrett's hand.
With a wink, he rushed out the door, turned and disappeared.
Only then did Barrett stand up and say to the bartender, "The drink money is mine!" With that, he stretched out his hand and put down a thousand Naru, turned and walked out the door.
It's just that unlike ordinary people, as soon as Barrett walked out of the door, two guards surrounded him and politely invited him to the car next to him.
I saw that the window of the sedan was closed, revealing a delicate face inside.
It was none other than Joshua.
"You still don't take my words to heart." Joshua thought he had just run out to drink, so he said angrily.
"Your wine there is too light." Barrett pleaded.
"Alright! I don't want to see each other next time. Joshua's eyes showed exhaustion, and it looked like the night's attack was giving her a big headache.
"Send this gentleman back to the Rose Garden." At the sound of a command, the window was raised, and the sedan slowly left.
Immediately, a personnel carrier pulled up next to Barrett, and several soldiers surrounded Barrett and got into the car.
said that it was a hug, but in fact, it was to clamp him and prevent him from running away.
Until the troop carrier left, a shadow disappeared into the night in the shadow of the bell tower not far away.
Half an hour later, Mohan met the black-robed man in the basement of an apartment.
The black-robed man asked, "How are you talking?" ”
Mo Han said with some regret: "It was disturbed by the guards, and the negotiations were about to be completed." ”
"Got an appointment for the next meeting?" The man asked.
"I gave him the place and time, but he was escorted away by the guards, and I don't know if he will be found." Mo Han said with some uncertainty.
"Then leave a double insurance at that time, you control the number of attacks, and it is best to let him find another chance to come out." The man shook his head and said, to be honest, their organization is not very good now, and not having money is a big problem.
Due to the restriction of passage by Omas, their supply of goods and capital chain were cut off at once.
That's why they took the risk of finding Barrett, they needed a rich, powerful, not local guy to take over, to solve their financial problems.
But the black-robed man was definitely not near the tavern at that time, so who was the person on the bell tower?
Now that the water is getting deeper and deeper, no one can tell how many people are muddying the water here......
