"What's going on with the Rose family lately?" Taemin didn't look as reserved and gentle at all at this time, she was more like an outspoken powerhouse, she asked.

As the second family of the empire, the Rose family has a lot of people staring at him, and because of his relationship with Emma, Taemin sent his subordinates to investigate early. And the investigation reported that the Rose family has been moving a lot recently, so she deliberately let Emma enter the palace to get an answer from her words. But Emma is smart and doesn't have the slightest loophole in what she says, and Taemin doesn't get anything at all.

"It's very peaceful, except for some slaves that the slave hunting group often brings back, everything is peaceful." The man replied respectfully.

"What about the Northlands, can they do anything in the Northlands?" Taemin frowned slightly and asked again. The Rose family's peace was unexpected, but she found it unusual. She knew that Emma was not a girl, or that it was not easy to be the head of the Rose family.

"There's a caravan just returned from the Northlands." The man thought for a moment and replied.

"It's the caravan of the Rose family." Taemin said.

"Yes, sir." The man replied: "They fly the flag of the Rose family, and the accompanying escort has no losses, and the carriage is also full of goods." ”

Loaded with goods? Taemin frowned, now that the Northland has long lost its human strength, where did those goods come from? Could it be that the Rose family has colluded with their descendants? Thinking of this, Taemin's heart was cold, if this was really the case, it would really be a bolt from the blue. The second largest family in the empire colluded with the orcs, which was definitely a huge blow to the empire.

"What's that cargo?" Taemin asked in a cold voice.

"Orc weapons, armor, most of that." Although the caravan was guarded by guards along the way, it was not difficult for these people to detect this at all.

Tai Min frowned, now that the orcs are stationed on the riverside, weapons and armor must be scarce, how can they use these things for trade, and the Rose family will not be so stupid, such an obvious transaction Many people will be aware of it, the only possibility is that they are really traded these goods, as for who to trade, she doesn't know.

"Go on, and if the Rose caravan goes to the Northlands again, you will go with it. Be sure to figure out who's trading with them. Taemin thought for a moment, ordered, and waved him down. In the past, she didn't think much about the Northland, but now it seems that since that girl is so fond of the Northland, and she sent a caravan to go at this time, it seems that she also has to think more about the Northland.

Emma returned to the house in a carriage, and Engels was also informed by his subordinates, so he walked to the study with his heart and knocked on the wooden door gently.

"Come in." Emma said coldly, just like Taemin, every woman has two faces, one for her friends in private, and another for her subordinates, and now she is the head of the Rose family, a strong and feared woman.

"Master." Engels hunched his waist slightly, carefully pushed open the wooden door, walked in, and said respectfully.

"Sit down." Emma raised her head slightly and glanced at Engels, then lowered her gaze and looked at her palm, which contained a small animal. Slender body, big mouth, although still small, but the mouth has a faint sharp baby teeth, she naughtily pulled Emma's thumb with her two front paws, opened her mouth wide, bit with the baby teeth, and whined from time to time.

Emma reached out and stroked his furry fur, feeling a slight tingling sensation on her skin, as if unintentionally, she asked, "How did you complete the task I gave you?" ”

"Very well, master." Engels sat down cautiously, but only dared to sit on half of his ass, his fear of Emma was already buried in his heart, even if he had committed any mistakes, it was the same, he explained in a slightly trembling voice: "I have reached an agreement with the Rheinris family, we will trade all kinds of materials for them, and we will get all kinds of weapons and armor from the orcs and the friendship of the Rheinris family." He didn't dare to guarantee this last sentence, although he had a good conversation with Qin Feng, he still felt the slightest bit of vigilance.

"Friendship?" When Emma heard Engels' words, she said softly with a sneer, and she raised her head and looked at Engels with contempt.

Seeing Emma's gaze, Engels immediately shuddered, he may know that he was wrong, but he still remembers Emma's gaze. The slightest pain in his fingers every cloudy day and rain reminded him all the time.

"You don't really be naïve to think that this little help alone will earn the friendship of the Rheinryth family, maybe you're getting old, or maybe you're changing your fingers?" Emma asked, and she glanced at Engels' severed finger, and her gaze made Engels' palms tremble slightly.

"No, master, I don't think so, I bought a place in the territory of the Rheinryth family when I left, and the people I stayed there will always monitor the situation of the Rheinryth family and report back in real time." Engels was already covered with cold sweat unconsciously, and he stammered in a quick tone. "So even if we don't stay in House Rheinryth, we'll be able to get a lot of information."

"Looks like you've learned a little smarter this time." Emma nodded slightly, reached out and pinched the neck of the little animal in her hand slightly, making her scream miserably, a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, let go of her hand, and gently brushed its fur. The angry creature snorted, quieted down again, grabbing Emma's fingers and playing.

"But we can't let them see what's wrong, we can't make any mistakes in trading materials, even if we don't get any profits, we must satisfy them first, if necessary, we can send the slave catchers left in the Northland to help them, we can't let them know directly what we have done, but you should know how to remind them." Emma said softly.

"Yes, master." Although there were a thousand doubts in his heart, Engels nodded, but he kept these orders firmly in his heart, and if he didn't want to die, don't ask why.

Engels respectfully stepped back and closed the wooden door of the study.

As the wooden door was closed, the coldness on Emma's face suddenly disappeared, and he pursed his lips and looked at the small animal in his hand. He pinched her mouth until the creature screamed a few times before letting go of her hand. It was all just a trick, and Taemin thought that with a special group of people, he would know everything. She would never have imagined how deep the heritage of a century-old powerful family was, and what kind of talents she had, how could every rose family, whose main business was slave hunting, not have such talents. Her people had already been discovered by her, but she deliberately left a flaw.

He knew that it would be even more suspicious if the Rose family really settled down at this time, so he asked Engels to travel thousands of miles to the Northland to resume friendship with a weak baron family. He also has a crush on the family, but at the same time, he also sees the family as a pawn, a pawn that attracts Taemin and the nobles who always keep an eye on the Rose family.

Although a little reluctant, Emma knew that they had long since lost the intimacy and innocence they had when they were children, and this may be the price of growing up, he sighed slightly. Holding the small animal in front of him, looking at the small animal's vertical eyes, he asked with a smile, "Did you say yes, Yuanyuan." ”

Yuan Yuan sneezed and opened his mouth wide, a faint red light coming from his small throat.
