There is a huge gap between nobles and commoners, if they are replaced by other almost poor butlers, being questioned like this, even if the nerves are big, there will be a lot of pressure, but this butler named Muori is very calm to take out a coat of arms from his arms, a blue crystal bottom, with a redbud made of gold thread on it, and then said softly: "Of course I am not qualified to ask a soul thinker to come and visit me, but this coat of arms represents our master of the family, he has something to do not come in person, so he entrusted me to pass the word, this coat of arms is the symbol of our bauhinia, The coat of arms is in person, and as the owner, I think it should be enough to summon His Excellency Chen Xiansong to come for questioning. ”

Duncan barred his teeth and grew up among redbuds, the first time he had seen such a thing. The family coat of arms does generally have three grades, one is just a symbol, used on carriages or clothes, and one represents the rights of the clan, which can only be held by a small number of people, and the other is the coat of arms of the head of the family that represents the highest majesty of a family.

As long as there is a little bit of aristocratic family will have such a thing, sometimes the head of the family because of important things, can not take time to attend some important meetings or banquets, so let the henchman go with such a coat of arms, can save a lot of trouble, and can also make other people feel that they are valued. However, this thing, if it is not necessary, rarely appears, after all, if the same move is used too many times, it will make people feel that it is not very valuable.

Ze Long'er also frowned, they also have this thing in their family, but he has never seen his father use it, it is conceivable that once this thing appears, it is indeed very much like the legend, such as the head of the family in person. In terms of titles, the head of the Bauhinia family is a duke, and Chen Xiansong is the lowest baron, although he has the transcendent status of a soul contemplative, but the status of the two is a bit different after all. It stands to reason that the butler Mu Ori can indeed summon Chen Xiansong to come for questioning with this thing, but Ze Longer feels that things may not be as simple as he imagined.

It is impossible for the Bauhinia family to use the family master coat of arms to summon Chen Xiansong in order to ask a word, and there must be a reason for this.

"Chen Xiansong should be in the association now." Ze Long'er thought about it for a moment and said, "Bauhinia Steward, since you brought the ransom, how about I transport it to the Soul Ponderers Association for you and tell him about the Bauhinia Family's summoning of him?" ”

Zeron was reluctant to call Muori by name. Although the other party may have a lot of weight in the Bauhinia family, no matter what his status is in Bauhinia, it can't change the fact that Muori is a commoner, and it is Black Rock City, which is his family's territory. And he himself is a nobleman, so there is no need to whisper to a butler.

"Then it's going to be troublesome for the young city lord." Muori bent slightly. Standard ceremonial movements. There is also an expression that is neither humble nor arrogant.

Zeloner had to admit it. Although his own butler is also very competent, compared with this Muori, he has less indescribable charm, and he also lacks some momentum. After all, the other party is a great family that has been around for hundreds of years, and they are barely accepted into the emerging family in the aristocratic system.

However, Zelonger noticed that Muori's words were a little wrong: "I am not a young city lord. ”

Muori smiled slightly: "Sooner or later." ”

Zelongerri looked around with some humility. Seeing that there were no idle people, I secretly breathed a sigh of relief after waiting. If the conversation between the two just now spreads, the eldest brother's reaction can be ignored for the time being, but it is impossible to say what the father will think. Now is the observation period, even if he does not get the right to inherit. In the future, when the family is separated, it is still up to the father to decide how much territory he can take, and if his father has a bad impression of him because of this, it will not be good.

"Please be careful!" Ze Long'er said coldly. Then he went outside, let his men in, and carried up the copper chests that Muori had brought in, which contained Duncan's ransom and twenty thousand gold coins. Zelong'er didn't settle the number of gold coins in these chests, because he knew that Bauhinia's reputation far exceeded the price of 20,000 gold coins.

After allowing Muori and Duncan to rest and wait in the halls, Zeron led a few guards to the Soul Ponderers Guild with a few boxes of gold coins. Along the way, he was thinking about what Mu Ori came with the family head coat of arms before the meeting, and what did the Bauhinia family want to talk about with Chen Xiansong.

Thinking too much, his head began to ache. Pumping and pumping, it looks like someone is holding a wooden stick and stirring it around in the brain. He patted his head vigorously and shook it a few more times before he felt more comfortable, and then when he looked up, he saw that the Soul Thinkers Guild was already in front of him.

After letting the doorman outside give him an announcement, Zetak ordered the guards to unload the copper box and carry it into the guild.

The doorman soon came down again, invited him up to the second floor, and told him that the president was in the study. Ze Longer was already very familiar with the internal layout of the association, he walked to the door of the study and knocked, then pushed the door in, first saw a familiar background, and then Chen Xiansong's handsome, but very scholarly face, and the most beautiful was to see Bai Min, who had a cold face at all times, and was so beautiful that people didn't dare to look at it more.

Seeing him come in, Chen Xiansong beckoned and smiled: "You came just in time, now the storage capacity of salt in the warehouse in the association is almost ready for sale, and the vice president and I are discussing where the sales point should be placed. ”

Hearing this, Ze Longer walked quickly to the outside of the study, looked left and right, and after making sure that no one was nearby, he immediately closed the door, and then walked to Chen Xiansong's desk, and complained: "For such an important matter, you actually don't arrange some trustworthy people outside to check it, in case someone with a heart hears it, and then formulate a plan to deal with us." ”

Chen Xiansong smiled and said, "Don't worry, there is Xiaomin, the entire building is under her monitoring, and she knows very well whether anyone is approaching." ”

Hearing this, Ze Luer was relieved. The Sun God Servant is famous, and Chen Xiansong said that Bai Min can monitor the entire building, so it is absolutely foolproof. He looked down and saw a map of Kate's kingdom on the table, with the names of some cities marked in black circles.

He took a closer look and found that these black circles started from Black Rock City and spread outside, thinking that they should be trade routes.

In this era when information is not very circulating, the prices of goods in every city, except for the locals, are generally only known to the merchants who travel from south to north. And every trade route, where to what goods, what goods to ship, only experienced merchants know, and these information they will not casually inform outsiders, even from the merchants even their own departure, transit station, destination will not even tell outsiders.

Chen Xian pointed to the route of these black circles and said: "This is the shipping channel planned by the association. Then he drew a circle around Black Rock City and said, "And the nearby cities, or villages and towns, are run by your City Lord's Mansion. After all, you are not pure merchants, in terms of business and trade routes and connections, it is impossible to compare with our association, and these places are close to each other and have low transportation costs, which is very suitable for your city lord's mansion to do, and you also have the responsibility of guarding the border, so it is impossible to distract too much from business. ”

Ze Long'er's heart was stunned, even if he was not a full-time businessman, with his eyes, he could see that Chen Xiansong's arrangement was a great discount for the City Lord's Mansion, saving costs and trading time, which are the two basic conditions for making money in business, there are many cities near Black Rock City, and the large and small nobles add up, and they can definitely digest the amount of salt he has received. It's just that he was also a little strange: "Why do you want to give us such a big benefit." ”

Chen Xiansong smiled: "Because we are allies now." ”

Even if it was an ally, no other nobleman would give up such a big benefit, and Zetakir believed that there was a deeper reason for this, but he felt that it should not be an ulterior motive. After being silent for a moment, he sighed and said: "You are planning to tie our family to your trouser belt all the time, let's make it clear, what do you want our city lord's mansion to do, there is a famous saying among our nobles, there is no hatred for no reason, and there is no love for no reason, saying it makes me feel a little bottom in my heart." ”

Chen Xiansong laughed: "Really not! ”

Ze Long'er stubbornly thought that there must be a reason for the neutralization, but the other party refused to say, and he had no choice, so he said: "Since you said no, then there is no!" But I have two things I want to tell you here, one is that Duncan's ransom has arrived, and I have already sent the gold coins to the association, and you can count them yourself later. The second is that the envoy of the Bauhinia family brought the coat of arms of the head of the family, and personally named you to summon you, saying that he wanted to ask you a word. ”

When the vice president saw this, his expression was a little moved.

"The coat of arms of the head of the house?" Chen Xiansong was a little puzzled, it was the first time he had heard of this thing.

"It is to see the coat of arms as to see the head of the family himself." Ze Long'er explained a little, and then said, "I think it's better for you to meet you." Although I know that your identity is definitely not simple, there must be a great force behind it, otherwise you will not be able to cultivate a genius like you. But Bauhinia is also a veteran nobleman in the royal city, with deep roots, although we are not afraid of him, but the coat of arms of the other party's family head has been put out, and as a nobleman, I think they should also be given a little face. ”

Chen Xiansong now understands that the coat of arms of the head of the family is an amazing thing and represents a special identity. He thought for a while and said with a smile: "Since the other party is very sincere, then go and listen to what he has to say." Vice President, the matter of the trade route will trouble you, and in addition, the thirty and a half of the shares in my name will be sent to my territory, and I will have other uses. ”

The vice president nodded in understanding.

Then Chen Xiansong took Bai Min and took the carriage to the City Lord's Mansion, as soon as he heard him, Mu Ori, who was sitting and drinking fruit wine, immediately stood up and said to Ze Long'er, who was accompanying him: "Young City Lord, I want to talk to Your Excellency Chen Xiansong alone, can you let us be alone for a short time." ”

Zeloner smiled and left the hall with Duncan. (To be continued......)
