After staying in the residential area for a while, Leon saw that everything was going on in order and planned to return to the town. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info things have been going on since the morning today, and a lot of official business is still waiting for him.

Riding a horse along the river to the east, there was still a wasteland between the two places.

The transportation of the town and the ore vein is all by water, and gradually developed in the future, the current transportation system is not enough, and the construction of land roads can be considered in the future, of course, this is still in the conceptual stage.

The boat was slower, and soon Leon overtook York and they returned to the town first.

"Your Highness, a man claiming to have been sent by Silas from White Mist City wants to see you, and has been waiting for a while. When the guard saw the prince, he took the horse and prayed.

"Where?" asked Leon, dismounting sideways. Originally, Silas would come to the town in a few days to discuss the details of the cooperation, but what to do at this time, did something happen?

"Outside the main entrance. ”

The castle has a main entrance and a back garden gate, and the stables are located at the back door, so Leon did not pass through the front and did not notice anyone waiting for him.

Leon went outside and saw the man sent by Silas, who was constantly moving around, with a very anxious look on his face, as if there was something urgent.

"Your Royal Highness, this is a letter from Mr. Silas to you, saying that this matter is very urgent and I hope you will read it immediately. The man followed Leon to the hall and, without saying anything superfluous, took out a letter with Silas' seal on it.

"Urgent?" Leon had just guessed, but he didn't know what it would be.

Just as he was about to open the letter, the guards came in and said, "Your Highness, there is another person from White Mist City, and he said that he is a messenger sent by the Earl. ”

"Bring it in. "Leon found things interesting, and not long after Silas sent someone, the Count sent someone too. The messenger was taken down by the guards, and he only delivered the letter, and he didn't know anything else.

Leon has been in the town for a year, and Count Payne of White Mist City has not crossed paths with him, and at this time, I am afraid it will not be for any good thing, Leon is prepared in his heart.

"Your Royal Highness, I am Peel, Earl of Payne's emissary. "This emissary is actually Peel, a merchant from White Mist City, Silas's old rival, and it makes sense that he can think about it as an emissary.

"It's Mr. Peel, aren't you a businessman, how did you become an emissary?" Leon knew him, he used to cooperate with him in business dealings, but now that he has changed to Silas, he no longer has anything to do with him, and the grudge between them businessmen is not clear.

Since they are businessmen, not to mention that they are still in a chamber of commerce, the news of Leon and Silas' cooperation should be spread among them. If he had come as a businessman, Leon could have guessed that he was trying to persuade him to work with him again. But as the Count's emissary, Leon didn't know what the Count was looking for him.

"The Earl of Payne thinks it would be more appropriate to negotiate in my capacity. Peel smiled, and the Count knew about it entirely because of his behind-the-back movements. In addition, the Earl's appointment of him as an emissary was the result of the deliberations of the advisors.

"Oh, negotiating, Mr. Peel, you should know that Ravenwood has made a deal with Silas, and that I won't talk to anyone else, so you don't have to talk too much. "Leon thought he was coming to negotiate business on behalf of the Count. The Count is just a money-loving guy who wants to start a business whenever he wants, but Leon is not willing to unilaterally break the contract.

Peele's smile widened, and Leon saw it in his eyes and felt that it contained a lot of contempt.

"No, Prince Lyon. I guess I didn't call you His Royal Highness. Peel slowly rounded the bend, it was a one-sided negotiation, or rather a notice would be more appropriate. Needless to say, whether the strength of White Mist City is stronger or weaker than Ravenwood's, as long as the earl has an order, the prince must not obediently give up the vein.

"Yes, that's right. Mr. Peel has anything to say. Leon heard what he meant, and it seemed that the question of his title had caught the earl's attention.

"Prince Leon, you should know that Ravenwood used to be the Earl's domain, but the Earl gave up this land because of your arrival, and now that you don't have a title, this is still the Earl's domain. Peel saw that the prince spoke directly, and he also began to get to the point.

As long as the prince is smart enough, he should take the initiative to give up the veins at this time, and maybe the earl will be happy and let him get a little change. As for the more benefits, it must have been obtained by him, the middleman, who took a little care to steal Silas's business, and also got the Count's gratitude, which seemed to him to be a surefire deal.

"Yes, I haven't heard the Earl say such a thing in a year since I've been in Ravenwood, so why do you want to send a merchant to say it now?" Leon understood, and it was clear that he had come to rob the vein, but it might not be so easy for the Earl to take it from him.

"Prince, as I said before, the Count thinks that my position is more suitable, and if the Count sends his own men, the situation will surely become embarrassing. "Peel didn't understand the Earl's intentions at first, this kind of thing is a conflict between the lords, how can he be a merchant to intervene, but the Earl thinks that Peel will be the messenger, saying that his identity is easy to reach an agreement, and after the matter is completed, he can act as an agent for the sale of ore, which makes Peel take this errand with peace of mind.

"Do you think the current situation is not embarrassing?, Mr. Pierre, for me this is not a negotiation but a threat, and you know what the consequences of threatening a prince are?" asked Leon rhetorically.

Leon has no title, but he is still a member of the royal family, and now the king's brother, even if he is reduced to a remote town, his status is still not a merchant to be despised.

The Count had never sent anyone before, because there was no need for the town to fight for it. Now that there are veins, it's naturally worth fighting for. But the Earl didn't send his own people to inform, but let Peel negotiate, in the final analysis, the Earl didn't have confidence in his heart, if he really thought that the town was his territory, he would directly send an army to occupy it, saving time and effort, why bother so much.

"Prince Leon, where does the word threat come from? I'm only negotiating at the Count's behest, don't get me wrong. Peel began to put away the expression on his face, and indeed as the prince said, he did not dare to do anything to the people of the royal family.

"Well, since you keep saying that you are here to negotiate, then tell us what you want to discuss. Whatever the final decision was, Leon wanted to hear what the Count really wanted.
