Chapter 178: The Earl's Secret
More than ten miles north of Limerick, a small town called Ennis is slowly rising. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
This is a matter of course, and the number of merchants who come to do business here in the Grand Duke of Munster is increasing year by year, and although a considerable number of them are shunted to Cork, the number of people coming and going to Limerick has also increased considerably, after all, this is the traditional commercial capital of Ireland, and it is still somewhat famous in Western Europe.
This also means that Limerick is hard to find.
Ah, this house refers to the room of the inn.
Originally, in order to save money, merchants were profit-seeking creatures, and there was no problem no matter where they slept, even if they slept on the street. But since the reign of the princess of the little Tang Dynasty, the town guards have been dispatched every day to crack down on this kind of pollution of the city...... As I said earlier, a house is hard to find.
Therefore, it is understandable that the merchant bee pupa came to this small town only ten miles from Limerick.
Today, however, Ennis seems to be different, as one of the most luxurious inns in town, which had just been built last year, had been taken over, and several elite soldiers in full armor stared at everyone who passed by the hotel with wolf-like eyes, and some even swore that they had seen the knight's figure......
So everyone realized that this is a nobleman, we can't afford to provoke it, so let's go wherever we want.
"Mel, long time no see, who are you waiting for when you came so early and made such a big move?"
"Sennar, don't just talk about me, you're not too late, I'm just closer, two days ahead of you."
In the empty inn, only two people sat at a table and talked, and even the innkeeper was kicked out, and the boss was still grateful, without a trace of complaint--it was good to be kicked out, if you accidentally provoked the two masters, or heard some secret, the consequences would ......
"As for making such a big move, I dare say that the first time we entered this town, our dear alliance leader already knew about it, believe it or not? I'm doing this, in fact, it's just to give him a signal and make him feel at ease. ”
"Okay, okay, Mel, you're justified, you're always justified."
The middle-aged man on the other side seemed to sigh, and then said this, and the man known as Mel also smiled when he heard the words of the middle-aged man opposite.
These two people are none other than Mercechna, Earl of Kildel, and Sennar, Earl of Osoloony, and it has always been rumored that the two families are already like a family, and even the children have been ordered to kiss each other, but now it seems that there is some authenticity, at least the two counts can use nicknames to talk to each other.
"So, let's get down to business, what do you think of our dear alliance leader suddenly letting us participate in this autumn harvest festival?"
"I didn't think there was anything wrong."
Sennar asked, and Mel frowned and was silent for a moment before replying:
"I've been thinking about it for a long time before I came, the Autumn Harvest Festival is indeed a big event, but it's not important enough for an archduke to invite three counts, so I guess ......"
"Do you want to establish the authority of the Grand Duke?"
Sennar replied, Mel's brow furrowed even more, and he said for a long time:
"It should be the only one possibility, after all, he is both the Grand Duke and the leader of the alliance, and he can endure it for more than half a year before he starts, which can already be said to be quite patient."
"Ahh
"Ahh
Both counts sighed at the same time. When Archduke Murchid was crowned, they were still children, and many things were only known until now. But even so, in their distant memories, the sad expressions of their parents at that time are worth remembering for a lifetime.
"What do you have in store?"
Seeing that the atmosphere was awkward, Senal quickly changed the topic and asked.
"In this year's market, what else can there be, honey." Mel shrugged and asked, "What about you?" ”
"All the same, what else do we have besides honey?"
Sennar said helplessly, at that time, the Grand Duke of Xiao Tang handed over the technology of cultivating clover, and they all thought that they had taken a big advantage, after all, honey can be called liquid gold......
But when I actually planted it, I found that if I have a good thing, I have to be able to sell it!
They have no port, no customers, and even if they want to sell it, they have to pull honey to Limerick to sell, and if the little Tang Grand Duke raises the tariff a little, their price will be so high that the merchants can no longer afford it.
"Well, let's think on the bright side, my spies in Dukara Castle have reported to me that the Alliance Leader has summoned us to discuss the issue of giving us food."
Accidentally, the Earl of Mel seemed to tell a very rare inside information, but Sennar was not more concerned about this, his eyes widened, and he said in a tone of disbelief:
"You have a spy?! There's a spy under the nose of that ubiquitous shadow, insider Leith?! ”
"Shhhh Whispered! ”
Mel put his index finger in front of his mouth and made a silent motion, and Sennar reacted and hurriedly covered his mouth.
"It's not something to be surprised about." Mel gave Sennar a disgruntled look, as if to blame him for making too much of a fuss.
"But that's the insider's ...... That insider Leith! ”
"He's just a human being. As long as it is done properly, it is easy for a peasant girl with a fair net worth and good looks to be a slave. Especially at this time, our Alliance Master has just moved to Dukara Castle and is massively expanding his servants. ”
"That's right...... That's a shame. ”
Sennar suddenly sighed, and said a pity inexplicably, and most people couldn't guess what he was talking about, but Mel understood.
"It's a pity, if even a slave knows about this news, it means that it's really not a secret, and I guess when we get to Dukara Castle, this news should be made public."
The two counts sighed at the same time, no matter what small means they used, the little Tang Grand Duke was like a mountain in front of the two of them, so that the two counts were helpless at all. After all, in this world, we still have to rely on force to talk about the rules.
"However, even so, we were able to gain some advantages by getting the news in advance."
"Indeed, since the alliance leader called us all over, it will definitely not let us go home empty-handed, we only need to be tough when negotiating, and we can recover a lot of losses."
"But we need an early bird."
"It can't be me, and it can't be you."
It's like talking about cross talk, the two counts sing and harmonize, their tone is hurried and high, the mountains and rivers will be bosom friends, Yu Boya meets the bell period, and finally shows a sympathetic smile.
"Have you informed Earl Leinster that you are coming here?"
"Of course, I told him that in order to prevent being bullied too much by the alliance leader, we three earls should unite and discuss carefully."
"It seems that Leinster is a bit far away, so it is delayed."
"yes, it's a bit of a long way......"
