The night view of the city of Varoser is beautiful, a kind of beauty unique to the bustling city, like a pearl in the darkness, and the lights in the city even illuminate most of the night sky.

The bustling streets are densely packed with pedestrians, most of whom are richly dressed and travel between the various liquor shops and brothels, as well as the merchants and vendors along the streets, who introduce their goods fluently with their loudest voices and the eloquence they have cultivated over the years, while those who are dressed in shabby clothes and look poor are mostly clinging to the corners of the streets, or carrying their goods, or rushing home exhausted.

The fall of Fitt City had no effect on the place, it was an extremely noisy picture, but at the same time extremely realistic and cruel, Ash saw that a poor man carefully held a few loaves of bread, his face full of satisfaction and joy, perhaps those few loaves of bread were already a very luxurious pleasure for his family, and just a few meters behind him, a gorgeously dressed woman fed her pet dog a shiny ham.

Zhumen wine and meat stink, and there are frozen bones on the road, which is an immutable law in the human world.

Ash's team added a chill to the street, and when he and his team appeared at the end of the street, the noise of the street dropped a few notches in an instant, and the crowd barely needed a few seconds to make a wide passage for them.

They had not seen a well-equipped army, and in fact the inhabitants of the city of Valoser were probably a little more knowledgeable in this regard than the people of the city of Verte.

Just because in a big city like Verte, there are few nobles who dare to be arrogant enough to ask their private soldiers to appear in front of the public so arrogantly, and the city of Varosese has no such restrictions, here, those nobles are already considered to be the top figures in power, and no one dares to say that they are not, so that there have been scenes of private soldiers on both sides fighting in the street and even a large number of casualties.

It's just that although the nerves of the inhabitants have been sharpened by the nobles, they still have an almost instinctive fear of Ash and his team.

It's just because this army is very different from the private soldiers of those nobles, and even the official army of the empire.

They were neat, silent, solemn, like an army from hell, and they couldn't even get a hint of popularity from this army unless they looked closely.

Ignoring the whispering residents who were hiding on the side of the road, Ash led his soldiers to the largest hotel in the city.

He still has a lot of silver coins in his hand, just that time from the convoy of the enemy in Ferrer, he looted nearly 100,000 yuan, these currencies can not help his development, so Ash does not need to be stingy, hundreds of people under his command, and the four or five hotels around this hotel are full, just the night's travel and meal money spent tens of thousands of silver coins, but Ash did not feel the slightest distress, as if those white silver coins were not money, just a pile of soil.

Ash first had dinner with his men, and then under the service of Aina and Die, he changed into Black Dragon Kai and put on a silk pajamas, and then met with several light cavalry who had already arrived in advance to spy on the intelligence.

In the process of talking, Ash knew that in addition to the six forces he knew before, there was another aristocratic force involved, and the origin of this force was much larger than the rest of the forces, and the number of people reached nearly four hundred, and the momentum was very huge, this force only arrived in the city earlier today, and for the time being, there was no intention to rush to the Qiming Mountain Range, as if it was waiting for someone.

Several light cavalry people have also inquired carefully about the behind-the-scenes boss of this force, but they have not received much information, only that their boss is a duke.

The duke, with the same title as Ash's cheap grandfather, can be regarded as an extremely top figure in the entire Verthic Empire, and it makes Ash feel a little puzzled that such a character will come to grab a gold mine with a group of marquises, counts, and even viscounts, but he didn't delve into it in detail.

What made him care was another piece of news.

Imperial officials also went out.

With the service of the academy library, Ash's knowledge and understanding of this world is no longer the rookie he was at the beginning, he knows that it stands to reason that it is similar to this kind of conflict of interests between nobles, and the imperial officials are not very good at interfering, as long as they don't make too much noise and affect the stability and people's hearts of the empire, most of them will let it go, let them fight, whoever wins is the ability of whom, as long as after the benefits are in hand, pay taxes to the empire according to the old rules.

Forty and a half, close to half of the tax rate.

In any case, no matter who wins, the empire can profit from it, and without paying any manpower and material resources, the empire's benefits in the name of collecting taxes are often much more than those of the nobles.

And listen to the light cavalry, this time, but there is a team of about 500 people on the way to the city of Varosse, this news was brought back by the light cavalry who walked farther away, the emperor ** team set out from the city of Cassinmuro, straight to the city of Varose, to say that the force is to support the city of Fett, from the point of view of its only battalion strength, it is simply impossible, its purpose, self-evident.

This was obviously not in line with the Empire's usual practice, which made Ash muttered slightly in his heart, only to feel that it was becoming more and more difficult for him to seize that gold mine.

Even if his mining methods are particularly perverted, he must break through the obstacles of those forces and reach the gold mines in the Qiming Mountains first, and he can't just go into it without hesitation.

While Ash was pondering what to do, another light cavalry knocked on the door and reported to him.

That powerful team seems to have waited for someone to wait.

There weren't many people coming, just a few guards, and a carriage wrapped in purple satin.

The news made Ash slightly stunned.

It's just that immediately after that, an idea popped up in his heart, I can't say, this time I have to ruin Nana's reputation again.

Nothing was said all night.

The next day, Ash got up and had a simple breakfast, and then led Aina, Addie, Johnson and ten soldiers, led by a light cavalry, to the hotel where the purple carriage was parked.

This is a large three-story building, covering an area almost comparable to some medium-sized and large-scale factories in the previous life, and the building is surrounded by a wall, saying that it is a hotel, but it is more like the kind of private residence that Nana and others lived in Fit City.

Ash saw from a distance that several soldiers in pale golden armor were guarding the gate of the house at this time, and it seemed that the quality of each one was not bad, although the surrounding area was still bright and bustling, but those soldiers were holding their waists straight and not squinting, which was quite rigorous.

Looking through the hollow iron gate in front of the courtyard, Ash saw the purple carriage parked in the courtyard at a glance, and without much hesitation, he stepped forward to explain his intention to those soldiers.

But what he didn't expect was that before his words could be spoken, he saw that the soldiers also noticed him, only glanced at him briefly, nodded very friendly, and then opened the iron door with his backhand.

This action made Ash slightly stunned, "Could it be that the other party already knew that I would come?" ”

It's just that if you just go in like this, it will still seem a little reckless, so Ash still spoke, "I'm here to find the owner of the purple carriage." ”

Hearing this, a soldier who looked like a steward nodded, and smiled very kindly: "Yes, Miss has been waiting for you for a long time. ”

When the words were finished, the soldier made a gesture of invitation, and immediately a servant came up to him, showing him the way with a flattering expression.

There was a lot of space in the courtyard, and Ash walked through the small square where the carriage was parked in the front yard, through a small garden, and past a rockery, before coming to a small building where the other party was.

There are a lot of people in this team, as many as four hundred, and the main building in front of it has the largest space, and it is estimated that most of the people live there, and the status of the woman in the purple carriage is obviously not comparable to that of ordinary soldiers, so she lives here alone.

"This is it, Miss has instructed, Your Excellency can go up by yourself when you come, and the rest can rest at the stone table over there now, and the younger ones will retire first and prepare tea for these people."

When he came to the front of the building, the servant who led the way laughed and walked away.

And Ash stopped Aina and the others from wanting to insist on following, and walked into the door of the small building, since the other party knows Nana, he has no grievances with the other party, and he has not even fought a real face, so he must not set up an ambush to harm himself.

The building is not large, only two floors in total, but it is extremely exquisitely built, obviously even the bricks and tiles have been carefully designed, Ash walked into the foyer, saw that the first floor was swinging, there was no trace of human activity, and immediately continued to take a step, towards the second floor.

The staircase was spiraling, and Ash had just taken two steps up, and before he could emerge from the second floor, the ethereal female voice reached his ears again: "I thought I would have to wait a few more days, but I didn't expect you to come so soon." ”

Hearing this, Ash walked up the last few sections of the stairs, and then followed the sound and saw a golden figure sitting by the window.

The woman had long golden hair, which she had combed into two high ponytails, and flowed down the sides of her ears, and a pair of eyes with emerald brilliance were gathering on his face, which seemed to be looking at him with interest, and her firm nose was like a smooth little chestnut, and she was beautifully shaped, and very cute and lovely, and her lips were pink and tender, like a flower out of water, and even a newborn baby should be envious.

After she said the previous sentence, she sat there motionless, holding her knees with her hands, her waist straight, stretching her slender and moving figure very widely, the whole person was like a hollow valley orchid, not eating the fireworks of the world, and every inch of skin on her body seemed to be filled with quiet sandalwood.

"Let me introduce myself, my name is Jinglan."
