Chapter III: Secret Meetings and Transactions

After ending the social conversation, Marquis Rogner, who was very satisfied with Zheng Shuanglong's demeanor and etiquette, was ready to pull Zheng Shuanglong to introduce other people. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info is ready to act as a guide to introduce Zheng Shuanglong into his circle.

Of course, the Marquis of Rogner is most satisfied with Zheng Shuanglong's strength, if it weren't for Zheng Shuanglong's strength being so strong, no matter how personable and temperamental Zheng Shuanglong is, it is impossible for Marquis Rogner, as one of the four famous families of the empire, to personally act as a guide to prepare to introduce him into the circle of the nobles of the empire.

In the face of the Marquis Rogner's kind invitation, although Zheng Shuanglong had a certain contempt for this aristocratic circle in his heart, he still had a kind smile on his face that did not make people feel too enthusiastic, and mingled with the nobles with elegant social words that were not far away.

Although this nobleman is not at all successful in Zheng Shuanglong's eyes, there is always a time when they are useful, and even if they are not used, it is good to know one more "friend".

Mysterious temperament, mysterious origin, handsome face, personable, gentle, knowledgeable, plus the Marquis of Rogner himself as a guide, soon, Zheng Shuanglong became the central figure of the banquet.

All of a sudden, with Marquis Rogner and Zheng Shuanglong as the center, it became a group surrounded by crowds.

This made Akagi and Asada Shino very disappointed, although they were also surrounded by people to talk to, but they were still very unhappy to be excluded.

Even if the Marquis of Rogner is out of order, he will never snub the girl next to Zheng Shuanglong, not only Akagi and Shino Asada have a noble girl by his side, but even Fei's side also has Angelica, the daughter of the Marquis of Rogner? Rogner as a companion, although this eleven-year-old girl has already shown an unusual sexual orientation, but, but no matter what, it can be regarded as not snubbing Fei, isn't it.

In order to get Zheng Shuanglong's friendship, Marquis Rogner was really well-intentioned.

Zheng Shuanglong, who finally sent away the little girls who were adored by his words, received a signal from the Marquis of Rogner, who had been accompanying him.

After signaling to Yakumo Mirror, Ling, and Asada Shino to be careful, Zheng Shuanglong left the venue with a smile on his face and walked to a conference room with Marquis Rogner on his face.

In this conference room, several nobles who had just been specially introduced by the Marquis of Rogner were there. As for Gunn? Ryan Folter, sorry, although he is a rich man and the largest arms manufacturer in the empire, he is not a nobleman, and he may be able to do some business with the nobles, but he has never been able to enter this circle of the top nobles.

Yes, in the most elite aristocratic circles, the least number of titles present here are earls. They are all big nobles with their own territory, a long family history, a family emblem with deep meaning, a lot of wealth, and great influence. This is the top aristocratic circle of the Erebonia Empire, a circle that ordinary viscounts, barons, or anything can't join. A narrow, exclusive, sublime, hidden, top-notch circle with a lot of energy.

And Gunn? Like Ryan Fuerte, Zheng Shuanglong does not have the status of a nobleman, but before the Great Collapse, in the dark Middle Ages, the magician had a noble status like a nobleman, and Zheng Shuanglong was also a legendary forbidden spell mage.

So, this will Gunn? Ryan Fuerte, a wealthy businessman with one of the most financial and influential resources in the empire, was excluded from the circle and opened up to Zheng Shuanglong. There was no obstacle at all to Zheng Shuanglong.

Marquis Rogner, who walked into the conference room, announced with an honored face: "Everyone, welcome Mr. Zheng Shuanglong, the forbidden spell mage, to join our circle. Be a part of our circle. ”

Hearing the introduction of the Marquis of Rogner, Zheng Shuanglong stood up and gestured slightly, showing his sense of presence.

Seeing Zheng Shuanglong standing up, several of the big nobles present applauded their faces.

"To be honest, it's really a pleasure to have the honor of having a forbidden spell mage." Marquis Rogner, who was sitting on the main seat, said with a smile.

"It's also an honor to be friends with all of you, and I'm sure we'll have great prospects for cooperation, I promise, oh, I forgot to mention that my main profession is not a mage but an alchemist, although I do master what you call forbidden spells." Zheng Shuanglong said enthusiastically.

Seeing that Zheng Shuanglong did not refute his words and did not deny joining this circle, Marquis Rogner's eyes narrowed with a smile, and he nodded again and again: "I believe that we have broad prospects for cooperation, of course, Mr. Zheng, you are an alchemist, and it scared us in, I didn't expect you to be so knowledgeable." The seeker of truth seems to have described alchemists in the literature of the last generation. ”

"Very correct, an alchemist is a person who pursues the truth, Your Excellency Marquis, your knowledge amazes me, I didn't expect that even the ancient texts are within the reading range of Your Excellency, it is really very remarkable." Zheng Shuanglong clapped his hands and exclaimed.

"Where, where and compared, if I compare with Your Excellency, my knowledge is really not enough, after all, whether it is a magician or an alchemist, it is a symbol of wisdom and knowledge, well, my mansion also treasures several ancient documents, if Your Excellency is interested......" Marquis Rogner, who was admired by Zheng Shuanglong, smiled like a flower, waved his hand very magnificently, and said.

"Ancient documents, then you're welcome. The search for knowledge is the instinct of an alchemist. However, since he received a gift from His Excellency the Marquis, it would be rude not to return the gift. Giant knight, the legendary power of the Empire, I have in my hand a map of the manufacture of an alchemical golem similar to this one. Let's use this as a gift in return. As he spoke, Zheng Shuanglong flipped through his hand, and a huge suitcase appeared on the conference table, which contained the original Jean's manufacturing drawing.

Originally, Marquis Rogner, who heard that Zheng Shuanglong wanted to return the gift, was still ready to refuse politely, but after listening to Zheng Shuanglong's words, Marquis Rogner's words of refusal could not be spoken, especially when Zheng Shuanglong put the large box full of materials on the conference table, Marquis Rogner looked at the huge box with eyes full of desire.

The aristocratic faction of the Erebonian Empire has long been dissatisfied with the reform of the iron-blooded prime minister Osborne, who touched the cake of the nobles, but in terms of power, strength, military strength, influence, and ability, the aristocratic faction is not as good as the iron-blooded prime minister Osborne, who is trusted by the emperor and admired by the imperial army and the vast majority of the people.

Especially in terms of military strength, with the laying of railways in the Empire, as one small country and autonomous prefecture after another were annexed by the Iron Prime Minister, and with the installation of various new chariots and heavy weapons in the Imperial Army, the comprehensive strength of the Leader Army and the combat power of the Iron Prime Minister Osborne, who had mastered nearly 20 mecha divisions, was getting bigger and bigger. How did this make the aristocratic faction fight.

And this alchemy puppet provided by Zheng Shuanglong, although I don't know what the specific situation is, but since he dares to compare it with the huge knight in the legend of the empire, then, no matter what, it has a powerful power that cannot be ignored. This thing is the key to changing the balance of power between the aristocracy and the reformists.

The words of refusal were swallowed back by the Marquis of Rogner, who was a little embarrassed but more excited, and said with a bright smile: "Since it is your Excellency's return gift, and the return gift is this kind of thing, then, I deserve it." ”

As he spoke, the Marquis of Rogner opened the box very rudely and quickly browsed it. As one of the four famous families, the Marquis of Rogner is not only arrogant and noble, but also has the knowledge that can match his identity, so soon the Marquis of Rogner identified that these things in front of him are not jokes, but can really change the power balance between the aristocratic faction and the reformist.

And so, the smile on the face of the Marquis of Rogner grew brighter and brighter, so bright that it seemed that his mouth was about to crack to his ears.

Looking at the Marquis Rogner's bright and excessive smile, several counts present also had very bright smiles on their faces, and their eyes became more and more friendly when they looked at Zheng Shuanglong.

Zheng Shuanglong's gift really touched everyone here. Before, the nobles only gave Zheng Shuanglong a certain amount of respect because of his status as a forbidden spell mage, but now, they completely regarded Zheng Shuanglong as their own.

Marquis Rogner glanced at Zheng Shuanglong and said with a smile: "This gift is a little heavier, but it is an important thing that can change the situation between the aristocratic faction and the reform faction, so is there anything I can do now." Your Excellency the Alchemist. ”

When he first heard Zheng Shuanglong say that his main profession was an alchemist, the Marquis of Rogner thought that Zheng Shuanglong was joking, the main profession of a mage who can use forbidden spells is not a magician, this kind of thing, no one will really believe it.

However, after seeing this information, this information belonging to Mobile Suit Jean, Marquis Rogner believed it, and truly believed that Zheng Shuanglong's main profession was an alchemist, after all, a person who could design an alchemy puppet of this level would really not be able to say that his main profession was not an alchemist.

Looking at Zheng Shuanglong, Marquis Rogner had envy and expectation.

With such a profound study of magic, and such a profound attainment in alchemy, this genius is too much, and no one can not envy it.

The alchemist who can take out this alchemy puppet at will, how many things are still in his pocket, Marquis Rogner is really looking forward to it and curious.

Zheng Shuanglong took a sip of red wine and said seriously: "There are indeed some small things that need the help of everyone here, since the Marquis of Rogner knows that alchemists are seekers of truth, then they should also understand that both alchemists and magicians are a profession that burns money, so ......"

"Alchemists and magicians are both money-burning professions, I know that." Listening to Zheng Shuanglong's words, the Marquis of Rogner had a smile on his face, and he thought it was a difficult thing, but it turned out to be a little Mira, which was not a problem at all. Marquis Rogner, who thought so, said solemnly to the nobles present before Zheng Shuanglong finished speaking: "Friends should help each other, Your Excellency Master Shuanglong has financial problems, then we must extend the hand of friendship, let me say it first, five billion mira." Then, let's look at the situation and express it. ”

The nobles raised their hands in turn and spoke: "A billion mira." "Ah, my territory has been developing well lately, 1.5 billion Mira." ……

Under the statements of various nobles, a huge sum of more than 10 billion mira was soon made up, should it be said that it is worthy of being a great nobleman who is rich and rivals the country, and the accumulation of wealth for hundreds of years is really a very exaggerated number.

Faced with such a large sum of money, Zheng Shuanglong shook his head and refused: "No, what I want to say is not these, well, not these, although I am grateful for your support, but what I want is not this, this tens of billions of Mira is indeed very moving, very crazy, but my pride makes me unable to accept them, even if they come from helping each other with friends." The right to circulate goods, and the right to purchase certain materials, this is what I need, as an alchemist and magician, I can always make some interesting things, and I have to purchase quite a lot of experimental materials, so I want the things made by my company to be able to circulate in the empire without hindrance, and I hope that the experimental materials I need can be purchased smoothly in the empire, this is what I need. Well, that's it. ”

Looking at Zheng Shuanglong and listening to Zheng Shuanglong's refusal, the Marquis of Rogner and the nobles present nodded unconsciously.

Pride, aristocrats are proud. The pride that Zheng Shuanglong just showed, the pride of not yielding in the face of tens of billions of meters, made the nobles present agree. The proud aristocracy looks down on those who are not proud.

Don't look at those nobles who voluntarily sent out these Mira, but once Zheng Shuanglong accepted the aid of these tens of billions of Mira, these nobles would still maintain the due respect for the forbidden spell mage on the surface, but they inevitably did not have a little contempt in their hearts.

Although the aristocracy of the guerrilla association who does not succumb to power and Mira does not like it, how can the nobles look down on those who succumb to power and Mira.

"So, I'm sorry, Zheng, I apologize to you, I misunderstood you just now, I'm really sorry." Marquis Rogner, who was very much in agreement with Zheng Shuanglong's performance just now, put down his pride and humbly apologized.

"No, I don't need to apologize, it's that I didn't make it clear just now, when I heard my previous words, it was natural that I would have just meant, this is a misunderstanding, a misunderstanding that doesn't need to be paid too much attention to, well, that's it." Shaking his hand gently, Zheng Shuanglong said.

"So, everyone, do you agree with the unhindered right to the circulation of goods and the unhindered right to purchase goods demanded by Zheng, well?" After looking around at the nobles who were doing it again, Marquis Rogner patted the information lightly and asked with a smile.

"There is no problem, since we are friends, it is normal to open the market, and what Zheng asks for is only normal trade rights, not privileges, if this thing cannot be guaranteed, our families will be ashamed." A middle-aged nobleman nodded.

"In other aspects, there is no problem at all with our influence, but what to do about the imperial capital, it has almost become the base camp of the reformists led by Osborne, and even we will have difficulty influencing the imperial capital." One is from the noble road near the imperial capital.

Hearing the words of this nobleman, even the Marquis of Rogner was embarrassed, after all, the iron-blooded prime minister Osborne did not give face to the nobles at all, even if it was the four famous families of the Erebonian Empire.

"As for the imperial capital, leave it to me to deal with. Well, then everything else is fine. Zheng Shuanglong asked solemnly.

"No problem." Marquis Rogner looked at the nobles present, nodded, and reassured.

Then, the nobles discussed a lot of questions, and finally the meeting ended when the dinner was almost over. As for Zheng Shuanglong, he sat quietly on the side and gently sipped red wine, without saying a word, and there was no need to speak.

After all, this aristocratic circle of the Erebonian Empire has accepted Zheng Shuanglong, and Zheng Shuanglong has not yet accepted this aristocratic circle. Even, Zheng Shuanglong has no good impression of these decaying aristocratic classes. In this case, if they were not able to bring enough benefits to Zheng Shuanglong, if they were not able to bring enough trouble to the iron-blooded prime minister and enough turmoil to the Erebonian Empire, Zheng Shuanglong would not be interested in talking to them.

Zheng Shuanglong did not agree with the knightly civilization of the Erebonian Empire, after all, Zheng Shuanglong was born in the East, maybe the Republic of Alvard can make Zheng Shuanglong have a little sense of intimacy, and can make Zheng Shuanglong have a little familiarity.

The meeting was over, all the nobles walked out in an orderly manner, Zheng Shuanglong also put down his wine glass, and left this very secret conference room with Marquis Rogner.

"It's an interesting meeting, do you want to get closer, but there's only one seat on it, and if it's divided between four people, it's a little bit insufficient." Walking beside the Marquis of Rogner, Zheng Shuanglong said softly.

Marquis Rogner's eyes showed a look of satisfaction, he coughed, and said to Zheng Shuanglong: "If you can, who doesn't want to get a higher position, more power, and more wealth." In fact, our four famous families would like to thank the iron-blooded prime minister, if it weren't for him going too far, infringing on the interests of the vast majority of the nobles, and giving everyone a feeling of hurting them, even if our forces are strong, it is impossible to integrate the vast majority of the aristocratic forces. ”

"As for the closer question, I don't hide it from you, not only me, but even the other three have this mind, so I hope that our friendship can be stable, and I hope that you can push me at a critical moment. Of course, I'll prepare your portion of the cake. "The Marquis of Rogner, who understood Zheng Shuanglong's wisdom, did not hide his ambition at all, and his eyes burned with this flame.

"Stable friendships are not spoken, but made, and now you are just beginning, and you have at least eight to ten years to get ready for action, and that is long enough time for us to test each other and build a stable and reliable friendship with each other. Isn't it. Even if I promise you what I am now, will you believe it, Your Excellency Marquis Rogner. Looking at the fire of ambition in the eyes of the Marquis of Rogner, Zheng Shuanglong nodded and said.

"The wind knows the strength of the grass, and the people will see the hearts of the people over time, which is really the right word, and I believe that in this long time, we will establish a good and stable relationship, I promise." Marquis Rogner laughed a few times, looked at Zheng Shuanglong and said solemnly.

"Who knows what the future holds. Well, it's almost time, thank you for your hospitality, it's almost time for me to leave. Zheng Shuanglong, who saw the figures of Akagi, Shino Asada, Fei, and Sharon, waved his hand at Marquis Rogner and retreated.

After speaking, he walked towards the positions of Akagi and Asahita Shino.

Looking at the back of Zheng Shuanglong's departure, Marquis Rogner smiled and took a glass of red wine from the waiter beside him, took a sip gently, and said: "Yes, this kind of thing in the future, who knows, it's really good." Hehe. ”

…………

Back at the hotel, Akagi and Shino Asada took Fei without even saying a word of greeting to Zheng Shuanglong, and returned to the room so quickly.

Looking at the actions of the three of them, Zheng Shuanglong touched his nose and said a little helplessly: "Really, it's just a little bit of a little talk, as for this, besides, they are the ones who asked to participate in this dinner." ”

"Master, it's not okay to say this, you must have a considerable degree of tolerance and love for girls." Sharon chuckled. "And there are so many beautiful eldest ladies around, but to accompany that Marquis of Rogner, it is also a faux pas of the master."

"That's it, that's it." Yayun Jing's hand shook slightly, unfolded the paper fan, and began to denounce Zheng Shuanglong.

As for the spirit, he had already gone to eat as soon as he returned to the hotel, even if it was the spirit of the witch, under the eyes of so many so-called celebrities, he couldn't let go.

Zheng Shuanglong knows that girls sometimes have the right to be willful, but when it is really their turn, they are still a little embarrassed, after all, Zheng Shuanglong is talking about business and cooperation with the Marquis of Rogner, and he is not doing anything unseemly, as for this.

Zheng Shuanglong nodded and said, "Okay, I know it's wrong, it's okay, it's really unreasonable." Forget it, leave it all right, get out of here tomorrow. Go to the Scarlet Emperor's capital to see, there should be some interesting things happening there, well, even if there are no interesting things, there are very interesting people. For example, the Iron Prime Minister or something. ”

"Head, you just slapped the iron-blooded Prime Minister some time ago and wiped out his 18th Mecha Division, and now you still find his head, wouldn't it be too bad? And, after all, we still don't understand why you were able to talk so well with that Marquis of Rogner, and in your eyes, isn't that the kind of thing about nobles. Yakumoga, which covered half of his face with a paper fan, said incomprehensibly.

"Of course, it's for our livelihood, don't you think Akagi and Ling eat too much, although I don't know what's going on, but my inspiration tells me that there are more terrifying foodies coming soon, and if you don't make a little more money now, it will be a big problem to raise you in the future. Well, that's it. Zheng Shuanglong joked seriously.

"Liar, if it's really just because of biotechnology problems, then why don't you want that 10 billion meters, but what kind of commodity circulation rights, the right to purchase goods." glanced at Zheng Shuanglong, and Yayun Mirror said angrily. The meeting room that Marquis Rogner thought was secret, in the eyes of Yakumo Mirror, was as if there was no secret at all. Easily invaded.

"Because with these two powers, we can get more, that's it, okay, it's late, let's go and rest early. That's it, Sharon, Yakumo, good night. Shaking his finger, Zheng Shuanglong said goodbye with a smile.

"Good night, master." Gently lifting the corner of her skirt, Sharon saluted and said goodbye.

"Good night. The head that doesn't tell the truth. The paper fan was put away, and Yakumo Mirror took his leave.

"Well, I hope that Marquis of Rogner can bring me some happy news." Zheng Shuanglong, who was muttering softly, also returned to his room and was ready to rest.

…………

Zheng Shuanglong was about to rest, and the Marquis of Rogner, as Zheng Shuanglong spoke, was in the second council, and in a more confidential conference room, he was negotiating for the second time with several nobles of his own faction.

"The information just now, I handed it over to a professional person for identification, it is indeed a good thing that can change the situation of the entire empire, change the balance of power between the aristocracy and the reformists, and it is a powerful and powerful weapon, now everyone will express their opinions and suggestions. Well! After a while, the Marquis smiled smugly, and put a large pile of appraisal reports on the table. Motioned for everyone to circulate.

With the knowledge of Marquis Rogner, he can only be sure that the information given by Zheng Shuanglong is true, as for how powerful it is and whether it can change the balance of power in the entire empire, this kind of thing, Marquis Rogner only has his own guesses.

However, after appraising those materials to the famous Imperial Engineer Training Institution Lulei Technical University, which is located in Lulei, the Marquis of Rogner was able to determine that the information of this alchemy puppet taken out by Zheng Shuanglong was indeed a great invention. An invention that makes people feel excited. An invention that would allow the Rogner family to take it one step further.

After carefully browsing through those precious materials, all the nobles had excited smiles on their faces.

Coughing lightly, Marquis Rogner, who attracted everyone's attention, said solemnly: "This gift given by Zheng is really a very valuable gift, then, we can't be rude." The two powers that Zheng asked for, we must implement as soon as possible, well, including the imperial capital, including the sphere of influence of the reformists. Everyone, the relationship, the influence is mobilized, we must let Zheng see our sincerity, so that the cooperation between us can last forever, after all, Zheng can come out of this thing without care, then, naturally, can also come up with more and better things, everyone, understand. ”

Hearing the Marquis of Rogner's speech, the counts began to speak. "I have a few friends in the Imperial Capital Hall, maybe they can help a little."

"My family is related to several families in the eastern part of the empire, and I think they will be happy to help me."

"My nephew works in the Imperial Capital Hall, and he might be able to do something." ……

Seeing the enthusiastic speeches of the nobles, Marquis Rogner was still very satisfied, nodded lightly, and said: "Since everyone is so enthusiastic about initiating relations, I believe that Zheng's little request can be solved soon." Well, the question now is the creation of this alchemical puppet named Jean. ”

"Is it a problem of funding, this is not a problem, in order to take revenge like the iron-blooded prime minister, I will take out three billion mira," a nobleman said with a smile.

"Then, I'll pay five billion Mira." Another nobleman laughed.

For this great nobleman who has been inherited for hundreds of years, a little Mira is not a problem at all.

"No, it's not Mira's problem, if it's just Mira, just the Rogner family can solve it, it's the problem of manufacturing, the talent needed to analyze this information, the ore and factories needed to make these alchemy puppets, these are the problems we have to consider. We can't make a big deal about building a new industrial park to make this thing, and if we do, we won't be able to hide it, and the hyenas under the Iron Prime Minister will dig up all our secrets. Well, that's it, that Imperial Intelligence Agency, it's really a very nasty organization. Marquis Rogner muttered.

In the face of the pervasive Imperial Intelligence Bureau opened by the iron-blooded Prime Minister, even the Marquis of Rogner was a headache, and he was afraid of this Imperial Intelligence Bureau, even on the railroad gendarmerie that was making trouble for the Confederate army that expanded with the laying of the railroad.

"It's a big headache, it's a big problem." Hearing the words of the Marquis of Rogner, the nobles present looked at each other and were a little speechless.

The power of the Imperial Intelligence Agency has been taught to everyone here.

"I can solve the problem of talent, the largest university in the empire that trains engineers is in my domain, and as long as they offer a sufficient salary, they will be happy to work for the nobility. The problem of ore, I can also intervene, the largest iron mine in the empire, but under the joint management of me and the Ryan Forte Society, as long as I do a little bit of manipulation in the accounts, there will be no problem with ore and the like, the most important thing is the problem of manufacturing, we don't have a special arsenal to make this thing, the few small arsenals under our hands, it is very difficult to make some chariots, not to mention this kind of large-scale alchemy puppet, as for the problem of making the arsenal bigger, it is too conspicuous, and it will cause His Majesty in the imperial capital to be dissatisfied, It is really troublesome, and it is impossible to entrust the manufacture of such a precious thing to a foreign organization. It's really a real headache. Marquis Rogner said with a little headache.

"Otherwise, entrust the Ryan Forte Society like this." A nobleman suggested.

However, he was immediately vetoed by another nobleman: "The Lane Forte family has no noble blood at all, and, that Gunn? Ryan Forte has been on the side of the reformers, and it would be too dangerous for them to make it, and it is estimated that our side has not yet made it, and the reformists have already completed the installation. ”

"Well, how about taking the Lane Fortt Society into our hands." The nobles who were refuted were a little unwilling.

"The difficulty is very high, after all, as the largest weapons manufacturer in the empire, every move of the Lane Forte Society has a far-reaching impact, and there are too many forces involved in it, it is not easy to get the Lane Forte Society into our hands." An old nobleman said with a sad face.

Gently nodding the table, Marquis Rogner said: "Well, that's it, it is difficult to hold the Ryan Forte Society in our hands, but it is much more difficult to hold a part of the Ryan Forte Society in our hands, although it is still a relatively difficult thing, however, there is still a certain possibility." ”

"So, the situation on our side, do we want to communicate with other people?" An earl who was related by marriage to Duke Kane, the head of the four famous families, asked a little uncertainly.

Hearing this nobleman's question, the Marquis of Rogner said gloomily: "I will deal with the problem of communicating with them, you must understand that this is our achievement and belongs to us, of course, we are nobles, we are all generous, kind, noble and respected nobles, so I am happy to share something with them, communicate with them, but this must be the premise that they have given us something equal, well, that's it, I don't think you want your interests to be lost." ”

A cool breath rose from the soles of the feet of all the people present, and the whole body was excited. Facing the wrath of the Marquis of Rogner, one of the four famous families, although they are big nobles, they can't afford it.

The nobleman, who was related by marriage to Duke Kane, hurriedly nodded and said, "I understand that before Your Excellency nods, I promise that no news will flow out of me, and I guarantee it with the glory of the family." ”

This nobleman knew very well that if they really clashed with the Marquis of Rogner, Duke Kane would not do his best to help, after all, after hundreds of years, there were many nobles who were related to Duke Kane.

The most important thing is that his territory is within the sphere of influence of the Marquis of Rogner, and he is not stupid to confront the Marquis of Rogner in this situation.

Marquis Rogner sighed and said: "Then, that's it, this meeting is like this, everyone hurry up, well, I want to see everyone's contributions, contributions from all sides, although we are nobles, but our efficiency is definitely not lower than those lowly commoners, I hope that before Zheng leaves the empire, we can see our sincerity, that's all, disperse." ”

As soon as the Marquis of Rogner finished speaking, there was already a commotion in the manor outside, and at the same time there were several 'snorts' characteristic of the bullets fired from the guide rifles.

At the same time as the gunshots rang out, the old butler pushed the door in, walked quickly to the side of the Marquis of Rogner, and reported the situation outside.

After listening to the old butler's report, Marquis Rogner's face changed, and he said in a low voice: "People from the Imperial Intelligence Agency." Bastard! ”

Marquis Rogner didn't expect that the iron-blooded Prime Minister's Imperial Intelligence Bureau would be so arrogant and dare to invade the Rogner family, one of the four famous families of the empire. This made the Marquis of Rogner really angry.

In fact, if it weren't for the arrival of Zheng Shuanglong, the entire Lu Lei force would have moved, causing a considerable degree of chaos, and even the elite intelligence agent of the Imperial Intelligence Agency would not want to invade the ironclad mansion of the Rogner family.

Hearing the noise outside, after looking at the face of the Marquis of Rogner, the nobles present all had gloomy faces and showed a sinister smile.

Coming in doesn't mean going out, Marquis Rogner's guards are no joke, and the retinue brought by other nobles is also elite, under the resistance of so many powerful subordinates, if this discovered intelligence agent can escape, the face of the nobles present will all be lost.

The Marquis Rogner's mansion was lively for a long time, and in the end, the intelligence agent still did not escape the pursuit, and it was completely unpredictable what would happen to the captured intelligence officer. Death is the best outcome, though.

…………

Whether the Marquis Rogner's mansion is lively or not, what is the fate of the unfortunate intelligence officer who was caught, Zheng Shuanglong and his party don't care at all.

They had already left Lu Lei early in the morning, riding tall horses, stepping on the green lawn, and heading towards the Scarlet Emperor's capital.

After a night of calmness, Akagi and Shino Asada finally lost their breath, and they also found that they didn't seem to have a reason to lose their temper like Zheng Shuanglong. However, girls always have privileges of one kind or another.

Therefore, Asahita Shino, who was riding a war horse and striding forward, seemed to have no problem at all, and asked Zheng Shuanglong: "Zheng, don't you look down on those nobles very much, why are you ......!?" And it wasn't the one who originally planned to give that thing to the Jade Gongdu. ”

"Yes, I look down on them for rotten creatures, but that doesn't mean I can't get anything out of them. After all, I now have deterrence, not influence, and that's a big difference. Deterrence can make the other party afraid, and influence can make the other party obedient, because there is not enough influence, so, even me, I have to use this nobleman a little. Zheng Shuanglong, who was driving the war horse forward, said with a smile: "As for the problem of the Duke of AlbarΓ©, in fact, there is no big deal, Rogner is indeed a little bit behind AlbarΓ©, but the difference is limited, plus the bonus points of the iron mine, there is no gap." After all, it's one of the four famous families. (To be continued.) )
