Chapter 191: First Sight of the Valkyrie
"How much do you owe?"
"5 million."
Almost more than 300,000 R, the profit of a lounge of this scale is generally not high, Li Xihe wants to pay off this debt for several years, and those money banks that lend gambling debts obviously will not give her so much time, and the interest alone is terrible.
Before leaving, I pushed all the bills to her and said, "Pack me two more jugs of sake and these snacks." ”
Li Xihe was stunned for a moment, and said with a smile, "Then you don't need so much money, you can't use up the advance just now, and I still have to find you change." ”
"No need, the hotel I live in is next to here, I've been here for a while, and I'll come here often in the future, you taste good."
Li Xihe lowered her head and hesitated for a while, as if she was making a very difficult choice, but my unintentional action made her think too much. Finally, she bit her lip and accepted the money, then gave me a reluctant smile, "Wait a minute. ”
Chen Ke helped me carry the food box and wine jug and walked with me on the way back to the hotel. "With so many people in the world who are suffering, can you take care of it? Moreover, we ourselves are the makers of suffering. ”
I looked at him in surprise, "Why bother?" ”
"Then what are you trying to do with her money?"
I smiled, "If the story is good, it should be rewarded." Go back and give the things to Peony Qingyu and them, well, give me the wine. ”
……
In the middle of the night, Peony, who was sleeping soundly in my arms, suddenly opened her eyes and pushed me awake.
"Someone's coming for you!" Then she immediately got up and wrapped a bath towel and went into the bathroom.
I got up in a daze, and drank a lot of sake before going to bed, so much so that I was still half drunk and half awake.
When I opened the door, I saw a clear woman standing in the dimly lit corridor, her hair was thickly coiled, and she was wrapped in a down jacket coat. I rubbed my eyes twice to see the comer, "Miss Oiran?" Belch...... Mako girl? ”
She frowned and looked at me, then glanced under me again, "Can you put your clothes on first?" ”
I "......"
Mako must have come to me at this time to avoid some eyes and ears. I put on my bathrobe and invited her into the room, and she didn't look for a place to sit down and immediately spoke to me.
"Princess Yuyu asked me to find you, there is information she needs you to know."
I motioned for her to continue.
"In the Mirage Kingdom, and even in the Three Kingdoms of Toei, her father's Hayakawa Society has always been the largest supplier of tobacco powder, which is also an important income for Hayakawa Society."
I've heard these mentioned privately by Yagami Shinhisa before.,The current president of Hayakawa Society.,That is, Yuyu's grandfather Hayakawa Kirigui.。 He is familiar with many local households in the southeast delta, where the climate is not only suitable for the growth of tobacco plants, but also has a rich variety and a very high yield rate. And most importantly, many small countries there are economically backward, most of them are farmers, and there are even mercenary groups that directly occupy land there as kings, and then hire farmers to grow and sell them.
"One of the conditions that the association gave to Master Kiri was that they would help Hayakawasha sell goods to the Western world." After a pause, Mako continued, "This is when Yuyu went to look for his father, and overheard him discussing with her grandfather in the study. And they seem to be thinking about it too. ”
"Isn't that a good thing? What is there to consider? ”
"The specific situation is not very clear, and the conditions of the association are definitely not like this."
I bowed my head and muttered, the tobacco powder market is not just about shipping, and the seller is even more important than transportation. This is also why I wooed the Zhao family father and son when I was in Gusu. With the influence of association, there is no need to worry about sales. So...... For Hayakawasha, the problem should be the source of goods in the southeast region.
This is undoubtedly the big bad news for me!
If I had gotten this news two months earlier, I could have even taken the time to take people to the Southeast Region to talk directly to the people there, give them my channels, and give up all the profits to only collect the transportation costs. Originally, I disdained to do the business of tobacco powder, and under the combination of soft and hard, the leaders there would definitely not refuse.
And now, I don't have time to use this roundabout tactic, do I really have to be tough with the association in Big Board City?
I thanked Mako, and she didn't stay long and left directly after talking about things. Then I didn't feel sleepy at all, and kept pacing back and forth in the room. Opening up the market is a very tempting condition, and I will be tempted by it.
……
The next day, Uncle Li and Xia Li, as well as a group of mercenaries and hunters under them, all arrived, a total of twenty people. I only left a small team of mercenaries in Wanhua City, waiting for Wuxiang's dispatch.
I looked at Xia Li in surprise, "Your injuries are healed?" ”
A smile rose at the corner of her mouth, "I heard that the Valkyrie is here, I'm so excited, where are the injuries?" "I've long heard that their hunting regiment has fought the Valkyries several times in the Western Battlefield, and they have a deep relationship.
After that, I had a phone call with Sister Hua, who was in charge of the overall situation in Port Veron, and the matter over there was basically settled, and they would come to Mirage by plane early tomorrow morning, and they could meet me in the evening.
After settling Uncle Li and the others, I went to Hayakawa's house to meet Youyou.
The Hayakawa family's mansion is located on a hill outside Obanjo Castle, and it looks like a general Japanese-style style from the outside, unlike the tall mansions of the Hanaka family. As soon as I entered the gate, I saw many bodyguards in suits patrolling the courtyard.
Directly after I was announced, someone led me to meet Yuyu, and I didn't even meet anyone else from the Hayakawa family along the way.
Youyou wore a short skirt at home today, with beige pantyhose underneath, which looked small and smart. Coupled with her own lively personality, she was as excited as a lark for a while. She excitedly pulled me to sit down under the eaves of the courtyard, and immediately a servant brought refreshments.
"My father said he could guarantee that you would be safe during the mirage, or I would hang you!"
I touched her head and asked, "What do you mean by your father and your grandfather, ......?"
She immediately made a silent gesture to me, and I nodded knowingly, thinking that our meeting must be under their watch. So I simply stopped talking about these things and just chatted about them.
Soon after, another servant came to us and said, "Miss, lunch is ready." ”
Youyou nodded, and was about to take me to dinner, when the servant said, "Mr. Kanglian has been waiting in the living room for a long time, and I hope to share lunch with you." ”
"Nope."
"Yes." The servant bowed slightly, and took his leave.
I looked at Yu Yu in surprise, "Louis Conlian?" The noble son of the association? He's over here too? ”
"yes, you came before you came." Yu Yu didn't care, and just took me to the dining room.
The corners of my mouth twitched, why haven't I seen you mention it since I've been here for more than an hour, how long have you been posting him? "Or ...... Let me meet him? ”
Youyu looked at me as if he understood something, nodded and said, "Yes, you should meet with him." So she called for a servant and asked her to take him to the dining room.
I sat in the dining room with Yu Yu for a moment after the door was opened, and a blonde man and a ...... A white-haired woman in a mask walked in.
There is no doubt that this feminine blonde man who is not a few years older than me and even has a short ponytail is Jane Louis Conlin. He was dressed in a burgundy suit that was impressive. I wasn't surprised to see me sitting next to Youyu, and it seemed that I had already heard the news that I had come to visit here.
"Chen Mo, I've wanted to see you for a long time." Kang Lian said to me with a smile, his expression harmless to humans and animals.
I nodded at him and smiled, then looked at the woman beside her. She is about the same height as Xia Li, 170 in appearance. The white hair that was scattered in the sun actually emitted a faint golden glow, obviously this was not simply white or silver, but pale gold! Her white mask is even stranger, with only a few patterns tattooed on it, and not even eye holes. At this moment, she was wearing an A-line skirt and a short white leather coat, if it weren't for the strange mask, this outfit would look like Lan Kexin, a quiet young lady from a family.
"Who is this?" I asked, looking at the masked woman.
"Sonya, my bodyguard." The corners of Kang Lian's mouth rose as he spoke, "Mr. Chen Mo must have heard the rumors about her. ”
I took a deep breath and said to the woman, "Long admiral, Valkyrie-sama. ”
The apex of all the Assassins in the world, the woman closest to the 'legend', is right in front of me at this moment. Even though she didn't release any murderous aura, I couldn't help but start sweating in my palms.
"Mr. Chen doesn't have to be nervous, and the people around you are not weak." A crisp and euphemistic voice came from behind her mask, like a stream beating against a stone, and it was extremely beautiful......
