Chapter 19: An Ingenious Stratagem
The plan is a big net, and every link needs to be meticulously linked.
Zhu Ping looked at the pitted pendulum clock in his bedroom, the beat remained the same, but the gems inlaid on it went out for a wave and returned to his hometown.
Crash! Crash!
Zhu Ping shook the bag in his hand, and put the rope on his finger and slid it around and rotated.
"There is still a small piece left in the hands of the girl, and I don't know if I can take it back...... It shouldn't disappoint me, though. ”
……
Orlanton Grand Theatre.
In a private room for the aristocracy.
Baron George pinched the wine glass in his hand with great elegance, and watched the wonderful stage play performed by the "Yanlong Troupe" from the Holy Country.
Beside the two of them, there were scantily clad maids as companions, constantly pinching their shoulders and beating their backs.
Coincidentally, the drama on the stage happened to be played by a brave man with a sword and playing the evil king.
Baron Peggy was bored, waved his hand, let the group of ordinary girls out, and gritted his teeth at Baron George: "That hateful fellow, I really want to find a killer to kill him." ”
"Peggy, my old friend, when that old fellow of the king dies, I will be the first to support you." Baron George drank the wine in his hand.
The fat on Baron Peggy's body continued to shake with his angry voice, and he said viciously: "George, how can you calm down, you can bear this kind of thing, I can't bear it!" ”
said that he couldn't bear it and wanted to invite a killer, but in fact he was just incompetent and furious!
The Hall family belongs to the king's faction, and although the king is now an old lion, no one can guarantee that this lion still has any remaining fangs in its mouth.
Whether the old lion will bite the elk's throat with its remaining fangs before he dies is anyone's guess.
The contempt in George's eyes for Peggy flashed, and he continued: "That guy from Hall is just a little clever, and it will be difficult to defeat us if you want to rely on this, it is simply impossible."
Sooner or later, I'll take revenge on you now, my old fellow, just have to wait until the time is right......"
"Bang" "Bang" "Bang"
At that moment, there was a knock on the door.
"Who is it?" Baron George looked out the door suddenly, his eyes sharp, his palms reaching into his arms.
"Lord George, it's me, I have something important to report here." The knocker's voice is unusually familiar, and this is his most loyal killer, Joel.
"Come in!" When George called him in, he found that the servant was making a gesture to signal that a third person was there, so George smiled and said, "It's okay, Baron Peggy is his own." ”
The killer Joel was ordered to report to George exactly what had happened in the small village before, and of course this was inevitably added to by the castle owner.
The news made the two barons consume for a while.
"Did those three really say they picked up the goods for their employer? Why pick up the goods in the small village, is it because there are gems buried there, or because ......" George's voice stopped abruptly.
It also occurred to him that there was a small deposit of gems hidden around the small village, and that someone had already begun to dig up it secretly, after all, the country of Orlanton was rich in gemstones, and this kind of thing was not uncommon.
Then George's heart moved, and his face was happy, after all, almost all the surrounding areas of the small village were his territory, so he urged: "Joel, you go to the small village to question the castle lord in person, and you must make sure that what he said is true."
By the way, you said earlier that those three people wanted to be sent to the capital, so it is likely that some nobleman found out about it, and sent a few people to find the three people, and by the way, find out who is behind them.
It's better to catch them secretly and interrogate them about their specific locations......"
"Yes, sir!" Killer George was ordered to quickly go down and carry it out.
The authenticity of the news, for the nobles and bigwigs who hold the power, there is no need to worry at all, anyway, they have enough manpower to investigate the ins and outs of the matter.
It's like a small goal of 100 million...... Depending on the position of the buttocks, the way of thinking about the problem is naturally different.
When there were only two people left in the room, Peggy had an eager smile on her face: "Oh! My old fellow! The countryside is almost all around our territory, and we can make a lot of money this time. ”
We?
When George heard Peggy's intention to get a piece of the pie, his face couldn't help but change in the shadows, and then he said perfunctorily: "Yes! My old fellow! This time, 'we' have made some money. ”
……
The junction of Upper and Lower Streets in Orlandon.
The most prosperous part of the kingdom is found here, not on the streets.
Originally, several big nobles wanted to unite to move this commercial street to the upper street, but within a few days, the merchants "sneaked" back.
To ask why, the cost, or the special cost!
The two Nathana brothers were assigned to purchase important supplies for the Hale family, such as flower seeds, saltpeter, fertilizer, charcoal, and yard repair tools.
The two brothers had a cart in front of them, and against the backdrop of their giant size, they were as small and cute as children's toys.
"Mother, that's what we do every day!" Nada's tone was a little listless.
Hearing this, Nina said unhappily: "What's the matter, such an easy job, you are not satisfied, are you!" ”
"No! This job is too easy, just running errands, Lord Zhuping will take care of the two of us to eat a full meal, as if white bread has fallen from the sky, so that I always feel like a dream, the second child beat me. Nada looked serious.
Na Er rounded his palm, took his shoulder as the axis, and drew a fan shape on his arm.
"Bang!"
A slap almost slapped Na Da seven or eight times, tears came out, and he cried with joy: "It's true, it's true, I didn't dream." ”
This made Nina can't help but hold her forehead, she thinks that although she is a little taller, she feels that she is not stupid! Why did you give birth to these two stupid things?
Of course, she forgot that her mother hadn't slapped her like that.
The group walked around the street, not noticing that the moment they entered the market, they were already locked in by a "special" gaze.
The three of them are already eye-catching enough in the market, even the shortest Nina, like a Tyrannosaurus rex in the dwarf crowd, doesn't need to take the initiative to do anything at all.
In the corner of the market, a group of people whispered.
"Is that them?"
"Sure! That's them, as Boss Joel said. ”
"What to do? Is it to go straight or wait for someone? These two big men seem to be very powerful. ”
"Don't worry, it just looks taller, stupid, you will only be beaten, you won't fight at all!"
"Up! Surround them. ”
“……”
The endless crowd was suddenly pushed away by seven or eight noble manservants, and one of the bald manservants grinned at the younger brothers and smiled: "Tall and afraid of something, you show me that people are different, and fighting is not based on body shape." ”
After that, the bald man ran quickly with the help of a distance of seven or eight meters, and then a sliding shovel slipped in front of Nada's body, kicking it, trying to trip the other party.
"Bang!"
Nada did not move at all, condescending, looking down at the bald manservant at his feet, with a puzzled expression.
What about your pedicure?
"Big, big brother, misunderstanding, I accidentally fell, by the way, I will give you an auspicious greeting." The bald manservant smiled awkwardly.
Then he was picked up like a three-year-old child.
Nada looked at Nina, and after seeing the other party shaking his head, he understood the meaning, placed the bald manservant on the ground, patted the other party's shoulder, and said that there was no need to thank him, but the force was too great for ordinary people, and slapped the bald head on the ground.
After the honest Nada was glared at by Nina, the group didn't say a word, turned around and left.
What's wrong with accidentally falling down like that, just kidding? The two brothers are honest and don't like to use their brains, and some people always treat them as fools.
Of course, they don't bother to argue, misunderstanding is misunderstanding!
Anyway, the two brothers don't suffer.
They think that they still wish Boss Ping to speak well, praising them as "big fish", although they don't understand what these four words mean, but they understand after disassembling them.
Big one, it must be a good word, if the fish, although I don't know what kind of fish it is, but the fish must be edible, and what can be eaten is a good thing.
Zhu Ping Boss not only speaks well, but also has talent, and they like it there.
Nina and the three continued to buy rice and noodles and seasonings in the market, and two hours later, the two brothers returned with two carts full of supplies.
In front of the door of Hall Castle, two slaps were made, and the iron door opened from the inside out, welcoming the three of them in.
And behind them, the group of manservants who were looking for trouble before actually followed them, and only stopped watching the Nada brothers enter Hall Castle.
Zhu Ping squatted on the roof, secretly watching the whole process, following the male servants of the big brothers.
Lina was by Zhu Ping's side and saw everything Zhu Ping saw.
"How you came up with so many clever ideas." Lina couldn't help but sigh in admiration.
"Intelligence, wisdom, experience, summary, patience, appearance......" Zhu Ping pointed to himself, the corners of his mouth slightly hooked: "Of course, there are also plug-ins!"
