Chapter 961: Shortcuts
It didn't embarrass Allen too much, and after watching him drink a few glasses of wine for a few women, Orlando smiled and waved his hand, "Okay, okay, it was just kidding." Disperse, let's get down to business. Wine is all-you-can-drink in this room, but whoever wants to rap, be careful that I pluck out your tongue. ”
A woman of twenty-five or sixteen said complainingly: "You are really willing to do it, Son Orlando, our tongues are not just about talking. ”
The tone of the pun made Nelly's brows furrow. Those women who are used to the lights and wine, but the women who are drunk and obsessed with gold will laugh willingly. They are presumptuous, but they also know how to reap what is good. After a burst of laughter, they spread out and sat down in twos and threes, giving Orlando and Alan room to talk. Orlando was not in a hurry, first called for food, and the two talked while eating.
"Eat, eat, wait until you go to the imperial capital, but don't want to eat so much." Orlando stuck a piece of sirloin with a fork, and he was not afraid of getting hot, so he threw it directly into his mouth. He blinked his eyes and said with a smile: "I know that you are going to the Northern Capital, and the picture is definitely not just a count of His Royal Highness Julian. The old man wants you to see one and fight one until you get into the eyes of the Targaryen the Great. It's a good idea, but it's also a stupid idea. I have a smart man's way here, it's a shortcut to the ladder, do you want to listen to it? ”
Alan looked at him and said, "If you want to take such a shortcut, why don't you go by yourself?" ”
"You think I don't want to?" Orlando sighed deliberately and said, "I can't, I can't help it, who made me Hoy's son." Who made the old man agree to Count Oban's request, otherwise, he would not have cheapened you. Hey, don't you listen. ”
"The mouth is in your face, love to say it or not."
"You are really cheap and good-natured, I will suffer a loss, who makes my mouth uncontrollable." Orlando smiled and said, "Do you know the Fourth Duke of the Empire? ”
Alan nodded.
"And do you know Elizabeth?"
"Nonsense, isn't it the Grand Duke of Iris, the Duchess?" Alan rolled his eyes directly, if he didn't even know this, it would be too lonely to hear of it.
"That's right, it's Elizabeth, our Duke of Iris. But probably no one knows that this generation of Duke Iris is in his early twenties. Well, I don't need to go on any more, right? Orlando frowned.
The four princes of the empire are all hereditary, among which the sword lord Ma Sen has the strongest combat power, ranking one of the ten saints. The other three dukes were obviously not as well known as this sword lord, especially Elizabeth, the only duchess at four kilometers, who only knew one name for the information gathered by Darkblade, and nothing else. Now I learned from Orlando's mouth that the female archduchess was so young, and at the same time, I was surprised, and I also vaguely felt that Orlando's words were so ill-intentioned.
Orlando sighed, "If it's a position of power, what shortcut is faster than marrying our Archduke Elizabeth." With the support of the Bolin family, it is difficult for you to become a supreme minister. ”
Alan sneered: "I'm afraid that your so-called shortcut is probably known to everyone, right?" ”
Orlando was also thick-skinned, shrugged his shoulders and said: "That's true, if you want to pursue the length of this grand duchess, you can line up the golden bridge, but unfortunately Elizabeth can't look down on any of them." I guess she's tired of those Northland men, and she's going to fall in love with you as soon as you go to the Northland. When the time comes, don't forget that I'm the one who gives you advice. ”
Alan lost his voice and said, "This is also a strategy?" ”
"Why don't you count!" Orlando glared.
Then the two of them laughed.
Orlando shook his head, he laughed so much that tears came out, laughing and laughing, but suddenly turned into a sigh: "Lord Allen, you don't know how much I envy you." Everyone thinks that I am the son of an iron spear, born with a golden key, but who knows that our father and son have not had a good time these years. Hello, if you say go north, you will go north, and I also want to go to the northern capital to see. But for the sake of the peace of mind of our majesty, the old man should not let me have this opportunity in this life. ”
Alan was speechless for a moment.
Orlando suddenly said in a deep voice, "I know Jora likes you." ”
Alan's hand to get the glass suddenly stopped in mid-air, and he paused before holding the glass. Orlando laughed, shook his head, and said, "It's okay, I also had a few good women before Jora, which is fair." What's more, I believe that after getting married, she will only think about me. As for you Alan, get out of the way! ”
"If I can't do that, then I'm really useless."
Next, the two stopped entangled in this topic, ate and talked, and after they were full of wine and food, it was not too early. Orlando paid the bill, and the trio left through the back door of the tavern to avoid attracting attention. The carriage was already waiting by the door, and the three men got into it, and the carriage headed down the street.
Unexpectedly, as soon as I walked around to the front of the tavern, it was blocked, but it was full of people and I didn't know what was going on. Orlando saw that the carriage did not move, frowned and simply jumped out of the carriage, seeing that he was arrogant, Alan shook his head, and also got out of the carriage, but let Nelly stay in the car. So as not to make passers-by see Nellie's beauty, it will only add to the trouble.
Over there, Orlando had already dragged a few people out of the crowd, and Alan saw that he had spoken a few words to people, but he didn't use his true colors to disperse the crowd, but looked at the excitement with his hands crossed. He walked over, frowned, and asked, "What?" ”
"It's nothing, it's an old drama, the head snake and the river dragon don't look at each other right, and they want to fight." Orlando said lightly and snorted into the crowd.
Probably knowing that he, the number one noble son in Yedega, was present, the people who were standing in front of him scattered to both sides, so that Orlando and Alan could see clearly. The situation in the field was obvious, and a group of men, apparently local residents, surrounded the three men viciously. Of the three, the one in the center was handsome, tall and handsome. Although he didn't have any weapons on his body, he could stand with a pen hold, and the whole person held out a sharp gun intent. Alan nodded and said, "That person uses a gun just like you." ”
Orlando was not surprised: "Yes, and it is used well." ”
The other two, one with a tough guy nature, the other with black clothes and black pants, are quite like Belmode. But with a sword and two knives on his waist, this line of work is beyond Belmode's ability. When Eren looked at them, the man in black turned his head to look, Eren smiled slightly, and the latter looked away. However, when his eyes fell on Orlando's face, he was stunned, and when he looked at Allen, his gaze was a little different from just now.
Orlando said, "Those three are the leaders of the Ice Moon Mercenary Regiment and two right-hand men. Well, the one in the middle of the station who looks only a little worse than me is their regimental leader, Fares. This guy was good looking when he entered the city, and his marksmanship was good. The old man also read it and said that it was promising. The man in black is called Ruijie, and he seems to have good swordsmanship. But he can't get on the table, just an ordinary good player. It's the grumpy Rick, this guy has a lot of energy, and it's really unpleasant to target him. ”
"The Ice Moon Mercenary Regiment was originally mixed up in the trading city of Sadinia, and it seems that they offended the big mercenary group over there, so they ran to our Iron Spear Collar. They are also sincere, and they hunted an ice-toothed beast half sold and half gave away. Now the ice tooth has been taken into scale armor, but unfortunately the time is too rushed, otherwise I will wear it at the wedding, and the iron shops in the city will have to build a batch according to the style of my white armor from the next day. ”
Alan shook his head, the narcissistic arrogance of the guy next to him had reached a certain level.
"What they're talking about with Bingyue is the largest mercenary union in our Gun City, 'Chasers', and these guys are what I call the Ground Snakes. The competition among peers is already fierce, not to mention that the momentum of this foreign ice moon is not weak, and it is not surprising that the Shadow Chasing Club will find trouble for them. Anyway, they don't want to go too far, and we'll just turn a blind eye. Well, if you want to go north, you might as well find Bingyue to lead the way, at least the road to Sardinia, they are very familiar with it. It's clear which route to take, so you can avoid detours. ”
After Orlando finished speaking, the person chasing the shadow over there finally stepped forward to make a move. The man named Faress did not move, and he was quite personable. Lick, the tough-guy who was obviously very hot-tempered, rushed forward with a muffled roar, knocking the man away, causing several exclamations.
Orlando shrugged his shoulders and said to Allen, "Let's go, let's take a detour, don't spoil people's interest." ”
Alan glanced at him and said, "It's not like what you'd do." ”
"Occasionally."
So the carriage bypassed the crowd and drifted away.
The next day, Alan met Edward at another hotel in the city. Edward not only selected some elites from the mountain king's fire to form an escort of about 100 people, but also brought a caravan. There was no shortage of old faces in this caravan, and the leader of the caravan was Shaun, who was supposed to be in Violet Harbor. Sean was already fat, but now he is as fat as a meat ball, and he is full of joy to see Allen. For this great merchant of Sur City, meeting Eren is simply an opportunity given by fate. If it weren't for Allen, he wouldn't be able to leave Sur City now, let alone become a recognized bigwig figure in the various merchant groups in Violet Harbor.
Alan was also surprised to see the fat man, and asked about Sean's current situation, and the fat man said yes vigorously. He then met with a few other merchants before entering a quiet room with Edward. Alan asked, "What are you going to do here?" ”
"Obviously, I want to tell the merchants of the whole empire that a new and full of opportunities will be presented before their eyes." Edward pointed indifferently at the door: "As long as Sean's caravan arrives in the Northern Capital, it will be more effective than any propaganda." At that time, I'm afraid that even His Royal Highness the Prince will have to rush to make friends with us, believe it or not? ”
"Faith." Alan raised his forehead and said, "But you probably don't know, our trip north this time probably won't be too smooth." ”
Edward disagreed: "Have we had a good time? The road is uneven, and it is bulldozed, how big is it? ”
Alan gave a thumbs up: "Okay, you're more arrogant than me." ”
