Chapter 104: Going to the Feast
Under my repeated questioning, Sister Hua also said some information about Bren and Arthur, but she was only a little familiar with Arthur, in her own words, that bad old man has coveted her beauty for a long time, and the reason why she has always taken special care of her is entirely because of some dirty thoughts in her head, and about Bren, Sister Hua has never seen herself, anyway, I heard the fat girl mention it before, it is said that she looks older and uglier than Arthur, and she is even more famous for her ruthlessness.
Regarding the question of appearance, I don't dare to agree with her and the fat girl, their unusual aesthetics are really strange, but the description of ruthlessness, I am not the first time I have heard how ruthless the number two person on this island is.
Since there are not enough sources of information for the time being, and the dinner is scheduled for tomorrow, I have decided to ignore the issue of Bren for the time being, and if I can have a good chat with Arthur tonight, maybe that Bren will not need to see him.
After packing up, we took the rum to the Island Council. Those students, Lin Ruyi, the old captain, Uncle Wei and the bearded man were all left on the ship by me.
When we arrived at the door of the Island Council, Scar Man was already standing there to greet us, and the number of guards standing guard at the door had increased to six, each with a gun on their backs, and two of them were guards we had seen before, and they looked at the boxes of goods we had brought with us, and guessed that they might be all rum, so their eyes sparkled.
"I'm really worried that you won't come?"
"Why don't you come? Master Arthur personally entertained us, and this was a rare opportunity. ”
"It's not hard to come by, as long as we establish trade contacts, there will be a lot of opportunities in the future."
After some superficial pleasantries, Scar Man welcomed us into the courtyard, but the guards standing guard stopped Sister Hua and them at the door.
The scar man said to Sister Hua: "You just put the things on the ground, and I will send someone to move them in." ”
Sister Hua said a little unhappily: "Then why don't you let us in?" I'm in the same league as him now. ”
"A bunch?" The scar man looked at me puzzled, and I quickly explained, "Yes, yes, I have hired them, and we will have to have someone to help unload our goods when they arrive at the dock." ”
"I see." The scar man looked at Sister Hua and glanced at the subordinates behind her, who were so frightened that they quickly lowered their heads.
"You can go in, but no one else can!"
"Why!"
"Sister Hua, you have been in the Golden Islands for so many years, and you don't understand this rule? Does the Island Council get in when it wants? If it weren't for Lord Arthur's appreciation of you, you wouldn't have been able to get in. ”
"Whoever wants that bad old man, no, who wants him to appreciate it." Sister Hua knew that Arthur had been spying on her beauty, and as long as she didn't go too far, Scar Man would easily do nothing to her.
Although she was reckless, Sister Hua also understood that if Scar Man didn't let her subordinates in, then there could be no second person besides Arthur who could change, so she turned around and gathered her subordinates together, and whispered, "You go back first, and the old lady will go in by herself." ”
"But Sister Hua, wouldn't it be too dangerous for you to go in alone, or you should go too?" One of his subordinates said.
"You're stupid, what if that guy goes in and talks to Arthur about something that is not good for us? We finally got a 10% dividend, but we must not make any mistakes. Don't worry, Arthur's old bastard won't be forced to come to the old lady for the time being, you go back quickly. ”
"Okay, then Sister Hua, you must pay attention to safety, let's go back first." After finishing speaking, Sister Hua's subordinates walked away, and after walking two steps, Sister Hua chased after her again, "Where are you going?" ”
"Sister Hua, didn't you let us go back first?"
"A bunch of idiots!" Sister Hua helplessly held her forehead, and said hatefully, "The old lady risked so much to go to the banquet, and you still plan to go back to wash and sleep?" I'm telling you to go back to the boat at the dock and keep an eye on the guys! ”
"Oh oh oh", Sister Hua's subordinates suddenly realized, and turned around and ran towards the dock.
When I entered the banquet hall of the parliament building, a whole table of dishes was already set up in it, but because the resources of the Golden Islands were relatively scarce, it was basically seafood-oriented. And this banquet hall is said to be a banquet hall, but in fact, it is a slightly larger room, and it does not have the luxurious decoration of the banquet hall, at best it is a box in a small suburban hotel.
Arthur smiled after seeing us on the main seat, and then motioned for us to sit down next to his side in order, when he saw Sister Hua, Arthur's expression was obviously a little fluctuating, and Sister Hua immediately got goosebumps after meeting his eyes, and quickly avoided it.
According to the current way of sitting, there are obviously other guests, Arthur did not shy away from taking the initiative to say to me: "Today's dinner, first, to celebrate that we have officially reached a trade agreement, and you can come to the Golden Islands to do business in the future, and second, I also happened to have a few new friends, so I will introduce you to you." ”
"New friends?" I looked at Arthur and said worriedly, "Lord Arthur, you also know our identity, if too many people know about our trade with the Golden Islands, I'm afraid it's not good, right?" ”
"It doesn't matter, these new friends of mine can be trusted." As he spoke, the scar man led another group of people in, led by a middle-aged man, dressed in a brocade robe, with a majestic and lifelike tiger embroidered with gold thread on his chest. Judging by his appearance and the style of his clothes, it should be from the giant merchant ship from the East.
Behind the middle-aged man there were four guards, uniformed in uniform and holding long knives in their hands, all with almost identical expressions.
"Come on, Brother Qiu, let me introduce you, this is what I mentioned to you, Brother Han from the Paradise Island of the British Empire." After Arthur arranged for the middle-aged man to sit down, he took the initiative to introduce us to him.
"Hello Brother Han, my name is Qiu Linhai, and I am from the Eastern Dahua Empire."
"Hello Brother Qiu, my name is Han Dong from the paradise island of the British Empire."
"You two are my new friends, and they will both be of great help to us in the Golden Islands in the future, so I propose that we have a drink first."
Arthur clapped his hands gently, two girls dressed simply walked in with two bottles of rum, and then filled them for us in turn, Qiu Linhai shook the glass in his hand, handed the wine to his nose and smelled, "Good wine!" I heard Master Arthur say that Brother Han is a merchant specializing in rum business? ”
I nodded, "Exactly, this glass of wine in your hand is produced by our winery, how about Brother Qiu taste it?" ”
"You don't need to taste it, this wine is already fragrant just by smelling it, I think my Dahua Empire is also rich in fine wine, compared with Brother Han's wine, it can only be said that each has its own merits."
"Good wine is for drinking, I'll do it first for respect!" As he spoke, Arthur was already in his stomach with a glass of rum.
"I don't know what Brother Qiu is doing?" I put down my glass and asked nonchalantly.
"Brother Han smiled, where can I do my own business, I am on the orders of my family, seek trade overseas, sell the good products of my Dahua Empire, and buy back the novelty goods overseas, regardless of what is being sold, nor what to buy."
"Oh, I see, but Brother Qiu, have I heard that your ship is tall and big, and it has artillery on it? Actually, you don't have to spend money to buy things at all, you can go with artillery, oh, I'm sorry, it's abrupt, it's abrupt, I'll punish myself. I pretended to be joking, deliberately halfway through my sentence, and then raised my glass and drank it down.
