Chapter 259: The Secret Meeting (I)
In the woodlands on the west side of the city, just outside the city of Hailam, the king of the sea, the famous group of itinerant entertainers, the 'Song of the River', is stationed.
Including singing and dancing, juggling, The all-round performance projects and exquisite skills of drama and drama, the artist troupe has not only become a very famous existence in the country and even the surrounding countries, but also is often invited to perform in the mansions of the major magnates, it can be said that wherever they go will be warmly welcomed and sought after, and the strangest thing is that despite the popularity, every time they go to a new place, they will set up their stations in the suburbs, according to the head of the troupe, one is to maintain relatively difficult living conditions in order to insist on diligently honing skills, but also to find inspiration for creating new works closer to nature。
This habit has not changed even when accepting invitations from the court to perform in front of the royal family, which naturally makes it more respected and sought after.
But today, the otherwise quiet station was bustling with people, with all sorts of vehicles and mounts filling the area around the station, and outside the largest tent in the center of the station, Patrick, the traditionally elegant entertainer leader, stood up straight, and several of his own members acted as guards.
Because now the people in the tent are all big people who are usually difficult to see.
Mayenar, president of the Monsoon Chamber of Commerce, the largest chamber of commerce in Canghai Country;
The president of the third largest chamber of commerce in the Canghai country, the Sailing Chamber of Commerce, is more than his gee;
Trio, the leader of the first mercenary group of the Canghai Kingdom;
Sinu Revi, the salt and iron tycoon of the Canghai Kingdom;
Lorenz, the general manager of the 'Nearby Chamber of Commerce', the largest freight chamber in the mainland;
Raiola, commander of the First Army of the Canghai Navy;
Elder Banga, President of the Mage Guild of Canghai Country;
Kilimanbello, deputy head of the 'Gray Shadow Thieves Group', one of the five major thieves in the mainland;
the Minister of State of the Cabinet of the People's Republic of China, Seriphon and Zikov;
Minister of the Sea Popovich;
Milentino, deputy chief of the royal guard;
And the most conspicuous is the hereditary Grand Duke of Canghai Kingdom, Gibulon, who sits in the center, plus five nobles of the rank of earl and above and some other minor nobles......
If the purpose of this meeting is not clarified, it must really make people think that it is a court gathering full of wealth.
"This gathered us here and didn't show up for a long time, I don't think the is happy!"
Trio's loud voice and vulgar language caused many people to frown, but the meaning of his words was psychologically agreed by many people.
"Trio, you're also a master, and you don't have a doorkeeper in your mouth!"
"Kilimarbello, you don't give me the damn garlic, you and I are the two of you who live a life licking blood, and I don't know what the other people who only recognize money and wealth come here for, I don't know what you're thinking!
Don't you just want to be able to sleep with that girl, pretend to be Sven! I'm putting my words here, you're not the only one who thinks so, let's see who can come out on top!"
At this moment, a clear and unusual voice sounded from the direction of the tent entrance:
"I'm sorry to wait for you, the little woman is terrified, and I have confessed to you here!" Helena appeared with her, and naturally Rudia, the personal guard who followed behind.
"Helena is serious, and she always has the patience to do great things, and a beautiful lady is always worth waiting for, isn't it!"
And although they met in private, as the people present, you can't expect powerful people like dukes and ministers in your country to speak first, so it can only be businessmen like them who speak out first, but fortunately, others are very face-saving.
"Miss Helena, I suppose it's just a matter of etiquette, why don't we get down to business, or I should call you ...... Your Highness!" said the Count of Simon with interest.
"Lord Earl laughed, now I am just Helena, the head of the Yuanshan Chamber of Commerce, if I use my former identity to summon I'm afraid my lord may not be willing to come, right!"
"In that case, I really don't have anything to talk about with Chief Helena, your plans are actually clear to everyone, but now you don't even have the courage to admit it directly, and everyone present must have their own agendas, in such a secretive environment, if someone betrays you to the lord who is now in power, today's party can be said to have ended your lair in one fell swoop.
I think it's a complete joke to be so reckless and want to order us to do great things with you!"
The sarcasm in the words was very strong, but Helena handled it as usual, and said with a smile: "I don't dare to admit my former identity, but I always remind myself not to forget the blood feud of the family, and the empty and vain identity cannot be used as food and weapons, and naturally I don't always have to show it, but I have never avoided denying my life experience, otherwise how could the ministers present today be swayed by a businessman to gather together."
As for your other worries, it is simply a matter of no shadow, what people live in the world is nothing more than the word profit, and all of you here today are the group whose interests have been most violated since the puppet king's reign, so you and I have a common goal.
I have been secretly operating for many years, and the reason why I have gathered you here today is out of prudence, not to mention how much trust I have in you, and even now I can respond to my proposal to come here, presumably the resentment in your hearts towards the puppet king is by no means a little reward that can be made up for by the whistleblower!
It's like you just used 'that lord' to call the puppet king, although it is tactful, but if you are not dissatisfied in your heart, shouldn't you call 'Your Majesty' like the majority of foolish people!
Besides, even if someone has bad intentions and wants to fight back, please see what kind of people are sitting around, and whether they are ready to accept their anger and revenge!
That's why I've come to the conclusion that the one who will finally be here today is a trusted companion!What does Count Simon think?"
"Humph!"
The Count did not reply, for if he had any rebuttal at this time, he would be questioning the others present.
"That's right, but after all, there is a risk, so you chose to hide and observe and make sure it's safe before appearing, right?"
Grand Duke Gibron spoke quietly, although his tone was not bad, but the meaning revealed in it was very dangerous, as long as Helena answered a little inappropriately, you can imagine what kind of reproach she will face next.
Helena, on the other hand, still maintained an elegant demeanor and a calm state, and asked the duke rhetorically:
"If you were an adult, wouldn't you choose the same approach?!"
Gibron was still expressionless when he heard this, and he could judge his current joy and anger at all, and only spoke again after a long time:
"Tell me, when are you going to do it!"
