……

Winter nights come very early.

The sky is getting dark, and in the snowstorm, a touch of orange light brings some warmth to this desolate land.

In the car, Erica was a little motion sick, her face was crimson, her forehead was sweaty, her whole body was sore, she was clinging to Zhang Feng, and she let out a faint breath.

After all, the speed of the steam car is somewhat fast, and people who don't ride it often are certainly not used to it.

But Zhang Feng found that although Erica was a little motion sick, there was a little longing in her eyes, and Zhang Feng said with some doubts:

"Erica, are you hungry?"

After all, it's been out for a while, and Erica hasn't eaten anything, so it's normal to be hungry.

"I ...... Hungry! ”

Erica was a little afraid to look directly into Zhang Feng's eyes, she was already a little faint from hunger, but Zhang Feng never mentioned the matter of eating, as a weak woman, she was not easy to speak.

Hearing that Zhang Feng finally asked if she was hungry, Erica couldn't care less about being shy, and nodded hurriedly.

"If you're hungry, you're going to eat, don't you tell me how I know, but I'm glad I asked, but you can drink some water before eating the staple food."

Zhang Feng smiled and took his hand up, holding a handful of water.

Looking at the clear water in Zhang Feng's palm, Erica's eyes widened.

"Master~ Do you really want to drink this?"

It's a drink that's hard to describe, she had, but never drank it, and she didn't know it could be drunk?

"Sure, I think you'll like it, don't you think?"

Zhang Feng looked at her with a smile.

"It should be, it should be......"

Erica felt that the heating system in the car was too strong, and she was so hot that even her neck was pink.

She didn't really want to drink, she was very hungry now, and she just wanted to eat, but looking at the expectant eyes of her master, Erica couldn't help but refuse.

"Good."

Because Erica was a little motion sick and tired, and now he couldn't do it himself, Zhang Feng had to come to help, he dipped his fingers in some water and gently touched the corner of Erica's lips.

Erica had completely closed her eyes, and she was too embarrassed to look directly at her gentle master.

The entrance of clear water, there is some sourness, and Erica feels that her whole body is hot? The heating system inside the steam car is just too strong.

Finally drank all these pre-meal waters? Erica couldn't hold back anymore and completely buried her head in Zhang Feng's chest? Let Zhang Feng call her? She didn't even dare to look up.

"Let's start eating the staple food now, I have some polished rice porridge here? If you don't say it, I'll take you by default! ”

Erica didn't speak.

This kind of thing? How embarrassed she was to take the initiative to speak.

Zhang Feng saw that Erica was still in a state of motion sickness? didn't have any strength, so Zhang Feng held her in his arms. The two were close together, feeling Zhang Feng's gentleness, and Erica was nervous? Happiness again.

Nervous because this is the first time someone has fed her rice porridge? She didn't have any experience, so she was naturally nervous.

Happiness is because this is Zhang Feng, her master personally fed her, this kind of treatment she didn't dare to think about before, maybe it only appeared in a dream.

Now, the moment has finally arrived.

Maybe it's Erica's nervousness? Zhang Feng said with a smile:

"Don't be nervous, just drink a bowl of porridge? I don't need you to do it, I'll feed you myself. ”

"I—I'm not nervous? It's my pleasure ......."

Seeing Erica, she was still a little hard-mouthed, and Zhang Feng didn't care if she smiled? He's soft? In Erica biting her lip and frowning? He passed the spoon to Erica's mouth.

"It's a little hot......"

The spoon was a little big, and although Zhang Feng was already very gentle, Erica was still a little uncomfortable.

"It's okay, it's good to get used to it later, just eat at this temperature so that you won't have diarrhea!"

Zhang Feng's movements were very slow and patient, but Erica kept frowning, and even at a certain moment, a tear flowed from the corner of her eye.

For such a patient and good host, she was moved to tears.

"Why are you crying, am I feeding too quickly?"

Zhang Feng was about to take the spoon out of Erica's mouth, after all, it was not good for the stomach to eat too violently after being hungry for a long time.

Who knew that Erica was holding Zhang Feng's hand tightly.

"Don't! I'm hungry~ I'm so hungry! ”

Listening to Erica's somewhat trembling tone, looking at her longing eyes, Zhang Feng, who was overflowing with sympathy, couldn't hold back any longer.

"Okay, I'll feed you slowly!"

Afraid that Erica would be hungry, Zhang Feng sped up the feeding speed and quickly fed Erica.

"Is it good?"

"Good, good drink......"

Facing such a gentle Zhang Feng, Erica didn't dare to look directly.

But maybe Zhang Feng's movements were a little rude, and some polished rice porridge spilled out and stuck to the corners of Erica's mouth.

Erica wanted to wipe her mouth clean, but the car was driving a little fast, and she really didn't have the strength, so she had to look at Zhang Feng pitifully.

Zhang Feng naturally understood what Erica meant, he took out a towel and gently wiped it clean for Erica, in addition to the porridge, there were some red blood stains on it, probably Erica's gums were bleeding.

Zhang Feng was a little distressed and gently hugged Erica.

Erica, who was full of food and drink, lay on Zhang Feng's body, she had never felt so happy.

After a long time, Zhang Feng saw that Erica's motion sickness symptoms had been reduced a lot, so he whispered in her ear:

"Erica, are you hungry again?"

"I—I'm full......"

Thinking of Zhang Feng feeding her porridge so gently just now, Erica was a little shy in her eyes.

"No, I said you're hungry and you're hungry!"

Zhang Feng said with a serious face.

"Huh? I ......"

Listening to Zhang Feng's somewhat unreasonable words, Erica seemed to understand something, and she said in a voice like a mosquito:

"Master~I、I'm hungry~"

"Very good, wait, I'll serve you another bowl of polished rice porridge!"

Zhang Feng couldn't help others the most, and he asked Elle to sit with her back to him.

The road surface was not very smooth, the car was shaky, and Erica was a little sick again.

Looking at the spoon that Zhang Feng handed over to hold the porridge, she blushed and swallowed.

"Hmm~"

It's a little hot, but it's delicious.

……

Silver Pine City.

Looking at the heavy snow outside, the faces of the Marlowe people in the hotel were not very good-looking.

"This ...... The snow is heavy again, and I feel like I can't stop! ”

Rat Daqiang shook his head.

The weather in the other world is like this, when it snows, it will take a long time to stop.

It was hard to find a sunny day before, which is why these people were about to leave as soon as they saw the sunny day, because it was impossible to say that there would be good weather all winter.

But it's okay now, at least they are in the largest city in the north, Silver Pine City, if they don't go out to adventure, at least their lives are not in danger.

But this is not the result that Marlowe wants, he promised Zhang Feng to sell the specialties of Red Leaf City to the royal capital, and then use the gold coins sold to buy certain living supplies to bring back, after all, the food in Red Leaf City is a little tight now.

"When will I be able to go home?"

Anne's face furrowed.

If she chooses one between home and Red Leaf City, she will definitely want to choose Red Leaf City, but now that she has left Red Leaf City, then she will definitely choose to go home.

This Silver Pine City is really not very good, although it is big enough, but the supporting facilities inside, there is no way to compare with Red Leaf City with quiet life.

Relatively speaking, it's better for her family, at least the castle at home is big enough for her to play wantonly.

"We're going to prepare for the worst."

Abbe shook her head at Anne.

The worst-case scenario is that they are all trapped in Silver Pine City.

"Ahh

Anne was in a bad mood, everyone was in a bad mood.

Some of them are going back to the royal capital, where their homes are, and some of them are sent by Zhang Feng to sell and buy supplies.

Although they can sell some of the goods of Red Leaf City in Silver Pine City, and then buy some grain, if this heavy snow does not stop, they can't transport these materials back, so what's the use of buying them?

Besides, they can be regarded as offending the city lord of Silver Pine City, although the other party should not do anything to him, but if you want to buy supplies from him, there will definitely be some trouble, at least you have to pay a part of the price.

After all, the nobles' hearts have always been small, and this is something that everyone recognizes.

"Knock knock!"

Suddenly, there was a knock on the door.

Marlowe motioned for his subordinates to open the door, and outside it was a merchant.

If memory serves, this person should be a merchant of Silver Pine City who has been in Red Leaf City for a while, although I don't remember his name, but he is a little familiar.

"Marlowe Knight!"

Seeing Marlowe, the other party saluted, and then he spoke with a somewhat ugly face.

"Eugene has been captured by Earl Longman!"

Well?

Everyone was stunned, after all, they had just had a small holiday with Earl Longman, and now when they heard his name, everyone subconsciously became more serious.

"Who's Eugene?"

Some people don't know this person, after all, there are many merchants who left from Red Leaf City, except for the merchants of the Red Leaf Business Alliance, the other merchants have their own small circles, and it is normal to be unfamiliar.

"He came with us before as a merchant from Silver Pine City."

Someone knew and opened his mouth to explain, but he was a little confused.

"As far as I know, Eugene's strength shouldn't be weak in Silver Pine City, right? I heard that the relationship with the City Lord's Mansion is also good, how could he be arrested? ”

"This ......"

The merchant hesitated, but decided to tell the truth.

"That's right, the day before yesterday at the tavern, he met Benson, and then showed Benson the wine he bought from Momiji City......"

Listening to the businessman's words, everyone's mouths grew bigger and bigger.

Especially when they heard that Eugene and Benson had found a person to pretend to be a down-and-out nobleman and sell liquor to a soldier squad leader in Silver Pine City, they looked at each other, thinking of the liquor they drank at the banquet yesterday, they seemed to understand something.

"I didn't know that this squad leader turned out to be a red man in the eyes of Count Longman, and he actually let Lord Earl arrest Eugene!"

The businessman was puzzled.

"Actually, I don't think it's a big deal, after all, the wine Eugene sells is not fake, but it is a genuine red leaf specialty, even if he made up something "ancestral wine", but this does not affect the quality of the wine, at most it is just to sell it for more money, why should he arrest Eugene, he can't do it......

It seems that such a businessman also knows a little about it.

For the sake of everyone who has brought it to Red Leaf City, someone opened his mouth and briefly told him what happened at yesterday's banquet.

After hearing that the Earl had been calling Baijiu the wine handed down by his ancestors at the banquet yesterday, the merchant opened his mouth wide, and he finally understood why Eugene was arrested, this is not a problem of gold coins, this is a problem that makes the Earl lose face!

"This ......"

He originally wanted to come to Marlowe to discuss what to do, after all, Eugene was his good friend, but in this situation, not to mention Marlowe, they had already offended Lord Earl, even if they didn't offend, it was estimated that they would not be able to provide any help in this kind of matter.

After all, Eugene is not messing with anyone else, but the most powerful earl in Silver Pine City!

Seeing Marlowe's helpless expression, the businessman left with a wry smile.

"I said where did Earl Longman get the liquor, it turned out to be cheated by Eugene!"

Rat Daqiang was a little gloating.

He didn't have a good impression of this Earl Longman, and naturally, he didn't have a good impression of the merchants of Silver Pine City, and he breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the other party eat dog.

It doesn't matter to the others, Eugene doesn't have a member of their alliance, and it's a great gift to be able to send him back, as for what will happen to him later, everyone naturally can't control it, and they won't care, not to mention that he offended Count Longman, just watch the show.

It's just that things are not as simple as they think......

Silver Pine City, in the dungeon below the City Lord's Mansion.

In the two adjacent cells, Eugene looked at Benson, who was beaten to the death of the opposite side, and his heart was wow and cold, he could already see his end.

Eugene regretted it very much, he shouldn't have listened to Benson's bad idea, sell liquor well, he can also sell it for a lot of money, there is no need to cheat like this, now it's okay, it's all Benson's crow's mouth!

Benson said that as long as they didn't deceive Lord Earl, they would be fine, but he didn't expect that these liquors were really taken by Lord Earl!

Although Eugene still didn't know why Lord Earl was so angry, he didn't dare to quibble after all.

This Benson was whipped a few times by the Earl himself because he said a few more words.

You must know that these whips are made of wattles soaked in salt water, and they are as thick as a wrist, and ordinary people estimate that they can be killed by three whips.

Fortunately, this Earl Longman estimated that he usually exercised a lot of men and women, and his body was relatively weak, although he beat Benson several times, but the force was not very great compared to those professionals, leaving Benson with his life.

But only one life remained.

Temporary.

If he doesn't receive treatment, he doesn't know how long Benson will live.

He really didn't expect that Count Longman would be so unreasonable today!

After the soldiers found the two, they didn't give them a chance to explain at all, and went directly to the prison, which is not the case with ordinary earls at all!

Although Count Longman is also known as the Smiling Tiger, at least on the surface, he still does a lot of work, and he is a man who loves face.

On the bright side, he is still very popular with everyone, and he himself enjoys this feeling.

Although secretly there are many people who scold him.

If it was the former Earl Longman, Eugene would have been forgiven if he felt that he had paid some price, but now he didn't ask anything, didn't say anything, and would beat Benson half to death when he came up!

Even Count Longman doesn't care about face at all, this is not the slightest possibility of negotiation!

Eugene felt that he was probably in danger.

Thinking that he still had so many goods that he hadn't sold, and thinking of the faces of his wife and children, the corners of Eugene's mouth were a little bitter.

Bang dang!

The sound of chains opening came from outside, making Eugene tremble subconsciously.

By the light of the torches, looking at a few long shadows, Eugene shrank into the corner of the wall somewhat unconsciously.

The person who came was none other than Earl Longman.

"Lord Earl, please spare me, I know I was wrong, and I am willing to pay for my mistake with five hundred gold coins!"

Although he thought it might not be useful, Eugene was still prostrate on the ground, and if it weren't for the railing, he was afraid that he would not have climbed over and kissed Count Longman's shoe.

"Huh! Five hundred gold coins? The count's face is only worth five hundred gold coins? ”

Marcy spoke with some sarcasm.

Eugene hurriedly spoke again:

"A thousand gold coins, I am willing to pay a thousand gold coins!"

Seeing that Eugene had added a thousand gold coins in the blink of an eye, Marcy was not only not happy, but very jealous.

He couldn't even take out five hundred gold coins, so how could he take out a thousand gold coins!

Is it because of Momiji Castle?

Thinking of the matter of Red Leaf City that they investigated in the past two days, Marcy was still a little incredulous.

She didn't believe that after they left, Red Leaf City actually ushered in a very good new city lord, under the leadership of the new city lord, Red Leaf City not only turned death into life, but also became more and more prosperous.

What is the city wall more than ten meters high, countless delicacies, beautiful clothes, like a king's supreme enjoyment......

She doesn't believe it, she doesn't want to believe it!

But after questioning several merchants and seeing the magical things they had brought, she knew that it might be true.

This made Marcy very unwilling and very jealous!

Why are you developed as soon as I leave?

Why can you live so well without me?

If this was somewhere else, maybe Marcie wouldn't be like this, but this is Momiji City, it's Momiji City where she stayed, and it's Momiji City that she thought would never rise!

Now Marcy is a little sick in her heart.

Compared to Marcie, Earl Longman was much more normal.

He smiled and spoke:

"You know, I don't really care about gold, it doesn't matter to me if I have more gold or less gold, if it was before, I wouldn't have bothered you at all......"

Hearing these words, Eugene's heart was half cold.

"But now, you have embarrassed me in front of so many people, let an earl be under his own subordinates, and disgrace in front of outsiders, you say, you should not be punished!"

At the end, Count Longman's face turned a little hideous.

"The! I should! ”

Eugene didn't know how he had embarrassed the Earl, but he nodded hurriedly.

"Lose face for an earl, and you can only redeem it with death!"

Earl Longman was furious.

In fact, if you want to talk about it, he is also to blame for this matter.

When he found these liquors at that time, Marlowe gave him the liquor in order to remind him that he was also selling him a favor, but Longman didn't expect so much at that time, he didn't listen to Marlowe's persuasion, and opened the liquor directly in front of everyone.

It's okay now, it's a complete shame!

I heard that these liquors were brewed by the city lord of Red Leaf City, and he kept saying that this was the red wine handed down from his ancestors, didn't this instantly shorten several generations!

Does that make him angry!

Of course, although he was to blame for this matter, if he didn't brag, if he listened to Marlowe, it would definitely not be the current situation, but he is the earl, he can't be wrong, and he can't find the reason in himself.

To vent, he decided to kill two people.

As an Earl, as the lord of Silver Pine City, he has this right.

Hearing Count Longman's undisguised killing intent, Eugene's face became more and more frightened, and he knew that if he didn't think about it again, he would really die!

"Lord Earl, I am willing to donate all my family property to ask for your forgiveness!"

Eugene shouted with tears in his voice.

"Che, how much property can you have as a small businessman, and the Earl can look at it?"

Marcy was a little sarcastic, but her tone was also a little sour, and she was speaking from the perspective of Earl Longman.

Earl Longman nodded, in order to breathe this out, don't want this thousand gold coins!

"I have 10,000 gold coins!"

After Eugene's words were shouted, the scene instantly fell silent.

"You...... Say what? ”

Marcy was stunned.

"The goods I brought from Red Leaf City, as long as they operate a little, can definitely sell for 10,000 gold coins!"

In order to save his life, Eugene can only take out all the current issue there, although 10,000 gold coins sounds a bit exaggerated, but it is still theoretically possible, provided that no one competes with him.

Although it was impossible, all he could say for now.

Sure enough, the export of these 10,000 gold coins, not to mention Marsie, even Count Longman was shocked.

"You have goods worth ten thousand gold coins?"

"My goods are definitely worth 10,000 gold coins, as long as the Earl spares my dog's life, I will dedicate these goods to the Earl, and I will help the Lord sell them to earn the highest profit!"

Eugene not only gave away all his worth, but also gave away himself as a person.

There is no other way to stay alive.

"This ......"

A thousand gold coins did not completely impress Count Longman, but ten thousand gold coins were different.

Although Marcy was very jealous, she was good at observing words and feelings, and at a glance she saw that the Earl was a little moved, and she immediately spoke:

"There is no bargaining for you here, you hurry up and offer your wealth, maybe the earl will spare your life for the sake of you knowing that you are wrong!"

Although Marcy was ambiguous, Eugene was instantly relieved.

With his knowledge of the Earl, it was obvious that he was moved, but he was too embarrassed to speak, so he let Rest speak.

The danger has not been lifted, but for now, the life should be saved.

Eugene did not dare to hesitate, he took Marcy and the soldiers back to his house, and after comforting his wife and children, he immediately carried out the goods, and took over more than a thousand gold coins in his hand.

Seeing the goods, Marcy didn't feel anything, but when she saw the thousand gold coins, her jealousy almost exploded.

She had a cold face all the way, and Eugene was so scared that he didn't dare to speak.

In the castle, seeing these goods, listening to Eugene's explanation, Count Longman's eyes lit up at first, but then he listened to it, and his face became ugly.

To put it simply, these goods are normally worth 3,000 gold coins, but if he gives the merchants in the city a restriction and does not allow them to sell the things in Red Leaf City, or if these merchants can't sell them before he sells them out, a monopoly will be formed, and these goods can only be sold for 10,000 gold coins!

"Bold! How dare you deceive Lord Earl! ”

Marcy, who was standing beside Earl Longman, immediately opened her mouth angrily.

"The city lord is angry, as long as you give this order, you don't need to make any more moves, just leave everything to me, I can guarantee to sell 10,000 gold coins, if you can't sell it, I willingly punish the earl!"

Eugene immediately fell to the ground, trying to find an excuse for himself to survive a little longer.

Although Eugene didn't dare to guarantee that he would be able to sell 10,000 gold coins 100%, he could only say this for the sake of his own life.

Count Longman frowned, he looked at the goods for a while, and Eugene for a while, obviously a little uncertain.

"How many merchants are there in the city who have returned from Momiji City?"

"Returning to the earl, there should be more than twenty people!"

Eugene hurriedly spoke.

"More than twenty people!"

Hearing Eugene's words, Count Longman's face was not good-looking, and he asked him to restrict more than twenty merchants from selling things, which was not impossible, but it was very difficult, after all, Count Longman himself was famous for his good reputation.

If there are one or two, he threatens and intimidates a little, and the other party will definitely not dare to put one, but if there are so many people, don't think about it, it will definitely not be so simple.

Even if the operation is not good, his reputation will really stink, which will make him mix in the aristocratic circle in the future!

Although everyone knows that each other is hypocritical, it is one thing to know and another thing to be exposed.

No, you can't!

Count Longman is also a ruthless man, for the sake of his reputation, he would rather not have this ten thousand gold coins, no, it should be six thousand gold coins, and besides, he has already obtained the goods of these thousand gold coins and three thousand gold coins, and Count Longman is not busy in vain.

"I am a just earl, lord of Silverpine City......"

Looking at Count Longman's serious face, listening to his unfinished words, Eugene's face changed, he knew that Count Longman loved face, but he didn't expect him to love face so much!

Eugene felt the killing intent in Count Longman's eyes!

At the last moment, he immediately spoke in a panic:

"Lord Earl, I still have a plan that will allow you to earn 100,000 gold coins in a short time!"

"One hundred thousand? Scold! ”

Although this figure is tempting, Earl Longman no longer believes Eugene.

"Lord Earl, I'm serious!"

Not caring whether he would collide with Earl Longman, Eugene spoke quickly:

"In our Silver Pine City, there is also a caravan, they are all from Red Leaf City, and they are not from our Silver Pine City, they have tons of supplies in their hands! Much more than mine! As long as you can get these supplies, 100,000 gold coins is the lowest! ”

Eugene's face was a little hideous, and he couldn't care so much about it in order to survive.

Although you may get revenge from the Lord of Momiji Castle afterwards, you can live past the moment, and the news may not be able to get out!

"Daring, what do you think of Count Ben!"

Earl Longman clapped his hands, and seemed very angry.

"Lord Earl, what my subordinates say is true, and may even be more exaggerated than what I say, for I am only a very weak merchant in this group, and they are all big merchants with names and surnames, and they have much more goods in their hands than I do! Moreover, their leader is the most powerful subordinate of the lord of Red Leaf City, he came with a mission this time, and I heard that he wants to dedicate the most valuable thing in Red Leaf City to the king! If we get this thing and offer it to the king, you probably won't be a Count, but a Marquis! ”

Eugene looked excited, as if he had become a marquis.

His words are half-truthful, and it is true that those merchants have more goods than him, but Marlowe is talking nonsense, which is to increase the interest of Count Longman.

But what Eugene didn't know was that Marlowe really had a lot of goods on him, although it was not dedicated to the king, but it was also intended to be sold in the royal capital.

He's also a crooked hit.

Hearing Eugene's words, especially hearing that he might become a marquis, Count Longman's breathing was a little heavy.

In the kingdom of Buck, there are actually not many nobles.

Even a few hundred gold coins can buy a knighthood.

But that's just an ordinary knighthood.

Generally the lowest baron, sometimes you can buy a viscount, but this is the limit.

Titles above the viscount, that is, the counts, marquises, and dukes above, cannot be purchased with gold coins, but can only be granted by the king.

And in their aristocratic circles, viscounts, barons have no sense of existence, and are even looked down upon by other big nobles, only when they reach the earl, can they be regarded as a real aristocratic class!

After all, the knighthood bought with money and the knighthood granted by the king are two different concepts!

Therefore, after the earl, it is very difficult to rise up, especially now that there is no war, and in this era of peace, it is even more difficult.

If he can really become a marquis, he Langman can definitely be called a glorious ancestor!

Although I don't think Eugene's words are very credible, Longman is really moved.

He was hesitant now, whether to continue to pretend to be a good man for the sake of his own reputation, or to do something bold in order to become a marquis.

Marcy, who had not spoken on the side, instantly lit up after hearing Eugene's words.

If there is anything that can make her happy now, except for the fact that the Earl divorced his original wife and married herself, then it is only for Marlowe and those who came from Red Leaf City to learn a lesson!

"Lord Earl, I think it's possible!"

Marcy first made her point of view, and then explained:

"Now this season, it is estimated that no one knows that there is a caravan from Red Leaf City coming to our Silver Pine City, and some people are very low-key, even if they are seen from the city, everyone doesn't know that these people are from Red Leaf City!"

The civilians hardly went out in winter, and it is estimated that no one knew that there were so many people in Silver Pine except for these merchants, innkeepers, and some soldiers defending the city.

In particular, Marlowe and these people are still very low-key, they came to Silver Pine City to settle down temporarily, and they have no intention of selling or buying here, he is trying to prevent being targeted and causing fearless trouble.

But unexpectedly, he was still targeted.

"Sir Earl, think about it, there are so many of them, and they are mainly businessmen, and they don't even do business in order to keep a low profile, why is this? There must be some secret! I think Eugene's words are very credible! ”

Listening to Marcy's categorical words, Earl Longman was still a little entangled.

"So what do you think we should do? I don't want to use a sword against these people, you know, I'm a pacifist, and they're the Baron of Momiji after all......"

The hypocrisy of Count Longman made even Marcie have to roll her eyes secretly, but she knew that the Earl's heart was moved, so she hit the railroad while it was hot:

"We don't need to do anything with them, after all, they also have a knight, and we can buy what they have!"

"Buy?"

Count Longman frowned, he seemed to understand something.

"Yes, buy! As for the price? Of course, it's the lowest price! Now they are on our turf and dare not listen to us? You must know that we have 10,000 soldiers and 50 knights in Silver Pine City! No matter how strong Marlowe is, he is only a knight, and they will definitely be jealous of us! ”

This is very typical, relying on their own strength to buy and sell.

"This ......"

Longman was a little hesitant, although it sounded good, but it still seemed to damage his reputation! 、

Even Earl Longman's pillow person, she naturally knew Longman's thoughts, so she smiled and said:

"Adults can do this, let's find a reason first, and then put them under house arrest, aren't they leaving, then we won't let them leave, even if the snow stops, we won't let them leave! It will definitely be them who are in a hurry when the time comes! Or we can be a little more radical and rush straight in, for the purpose of inspection, and take their goods away, of course, which may provoke their revolt......"

"Then ...... First idea, I'll leave this matter to you! ”

Earl Longman felt that it was more reliable to be the first.

"Yes, Lord Count!"

The corners of Marchie's mouth twitched, and she was looking forward to seeing Marlowe and their nervousness.

"As for him?"

Seeing Count Longman looking thoughtfully at him, Eugene hurriedly said:

"Lord Earl, I can also go and help, I know what is valuable, I ......"

But before he could finish his sentence, Marcy came over.

Marcy crouched down and looked condescendingly at Eugene lying on the ground.

"Lady Marcy, please let me assist you, I can-"

"No, you're worthless, worthless, only—die!"

Brush!

Marcy pulled out a dagger from inside her skirt and stabbed it directly into Eugene's chest as Eugene looked terrified.

Poof!

Blood splattered, splashing Marcy in the face.

Eugene fell reluctantly, slumping under Marcy's skirt.

The last sight in his mind was a black forest.

Looking at the dead Eugene, Marcy licked the corners of her mouth with some excitement, and the smell of blood made her a little excited.

Not only her, but Count Longman, who smelled blood, was also a little excited.

The reason why Marcy was able to become Earl Longman's pillow man was that in addition to her good skills, there was also a common little habit, and they were very excited when they saw blood.

This is also the reason why Count Longman did not stop her from killing people in his own hall.

"Lord Earl~"

Marcie bit her lip, her face, which was not very delicate, was so beautiful in the eyes of Earl Longman.

Count Longman rushed over with red eyes.

Clothes were thrown in pools of blood.

In Eugene's slowly spreading pupils, two bodies hugging each other were reflected.

……

There's something strange about Marlowe.

Lately, he's always felt like someone was watching him.

Or rather, to spy on his caravan.

For his sixth sense, Marlowe is still very cautious, he found Abbe, and the other party also felt this way.

The perception of the two top knights needs to be taken seriously.

Marlowe gathered everyone and told them not to go out, and then after her and Abbe's secret observation, sure enough, someone was spying on their caravan!

There were quite a few people, with a minimum of more than 30 people.

This is only monitored on the surface, and I don't know how many there are in secret!

And judging from the other party's posture, Marlowe knows that this is not an ordinary person, but a trained soldier!

In Silver Pine City, there is only one person who can have this kind of strength - Earl Longman!

"We're being watched by Earl Longman?"

When Marlowe told everyone the news, everyone was a little incredulous, but after thinking about it, they had offended Earl Longman after all, and if this Earl didn't care about his reputation, it was really possible to do something to them!

But it's not worth it, for the sake of a so-called face, you don't want the image of your nobles?

"What if he's for our cargo?"

Anne spoke weakly.

All eyes were on her, and Anne waved her hand a little unconfidently.

"Uh...... What I guessed......"

Marlowe and Abbe looked at each other, and they spoke together.

"That's why!"

"There's a big possibility!"

Only they know how valuable these goods are!

Hearing that Count Longman coveted their things, everyone suddenly became calm, this kind of thing is not good, but it will die!

As merchants, they have encountered many dangers, but this is the first time they have been targeted by the earl!

"Can we force out?"

Someone said worriedly.

"No, not to mention that if we force out, many people may be injured or even killed, let's just say that the wind and snow outside are so big, and we can't live if we leave!"

Marlowe spoke.

"Could it be that we're going to be trapped here?"

"Damn...... I didn't expect an earl to be so inferior! ”

"It may be that we have too much wealth...... It must have been the secret of those local merchants in Silver Pine City, otherwise he wouldn't have known what we had!" ”

"Don't worry, everyone, I'll figure it out!"

After comforting everyone, Marlowe called the core of the group together.

He thought of what Zhang Feng had told him at the beginning, and said to a few people:

"Are you good at stealth, I need to report the news here to the city lord!"

Zhang Feng said that if you encounter an invincible enemy, you must withdraw first to preserve your strength.

But now it is clear that it cannot be withdrawn.

Zhang Feng said again, if you suffer a loss, don't think about revenge, write down the other party's name and address first, and it's not too late to take revenge in the future!

Now they are likely to face great danger, and they may even die here, after all, this is a big city, and there are countless soldiers and knights in it!

If they were all sacrificed, then the lord of the city would have to know whose hands he had died!

Hearing Marlowe's words, everyone, you look at me, I look at you, it seems that there is no and is good at stealth.

At this time, Rat Daqiang raised his hand a little embarrassed.

"I'm good at stealth......"

As a great orc, he is so capable of being so weak.

Rat Daqiang usually doesn't take the initiative to say it, but now is not the usual time.

"Good!"

Marlowe's eyes lit up.

"I need you to report to the lord of the city!"

"Huh? How could I run away at such a time! No, I'm not going! ”

Don't look at Rat Daqiang, he is usually not very bold, but when it is time to talk about righteousness, he is not ambiguous at all!

"This is not an escape, we may be able to solve the crisis, or we may be wiped out, but I must prepare for the worst, if we all die, there will be no news to the city lord, the city lord will definitely be kept in the dark, and even be calculated by Langman, so, we must let the city lord know about this!"

Listening to Marlowe's words, Rat Daqiang struggled for a while, and he finally gritted his teeth and spoke:

"Yes, I can go to Red Leaf City to report the news, but I'm not sure I'll make it to Red Leaf City alive......"

It's snowing outside, and he can't read the map, and if he leaves, there's a high probability that he'll die outside.

"Don't worry, I have a lot of things rewarded by the city lord here, and with these, you will most likely be able to return to Red Leaf City alive!"

Marlowe pulls out various items such as a compass, a map, and a windproof lighter.

Rat Daqiang took it solemnly, he looked at Marlowe, and hammered Marlowe's chest hard.

"Brother, you have to live and wait for me to come back!"

Marlowe nodded.

Night.

Rat Daqiang carried a small burden and quietly opened the door, and there was thick snow outside.

He immediately plunged headlong into the snow and disappeared in an instant, leaving behind a hole the size of a bucket, which was expected to be re-crushed by the snow tomorrow.
