Kairim and Rugman helped each other out of the carriage. Rukani followed closely behind and came down, her face was flushed, her mouth was humming a little song often sung by the herdsmen on the grassland, and when she saw Kairim and Rugman walking in front, she hurriedly stumbled up, and grabbed Kailim's arm tightly with both hands.

The three of them staggered into the hotel where they were staying. Nurman, Nabiha, and Hussein, who had stayed at the inn, had been waiting impatiently, and when they saw the three leaders returning drunk, they hurriedly greeted them and carried them back to their respective rooms.

As soon as he walked into his room, Kairim suddenly changed his appearance, although he still had the smell of wine in his mouth and his face was still red, his eyes were clear, and he didn't look like a drunk person at all.

Nurman walked in with a jug of water, and he was not surprised to see that Kairim was very conscious, and closed the door of his room.

Kairim pointed to the chair next to the bed and motioned for Nurman to sit down, and he sat down on the bed himself.

Nurman poured a large glass of water and handed it to Kairim, who was sitting on the bed, but sat down in a chair.

Kairim took a big sip of water and asked in a low voice, "How?"

Nurman also replied in a low voice: "I looked around carefully, and no one followed. Chief, what did you find out about you and this Bailey tonight?"

Kairim said: "I don't think the things on the information may be true, this Bailey is young but has a good culture, has considerable strength but is not domineering, it is indeed rare." ”

"Oh?" asked Nurman, "So, what is on the profile is just his usual cover-up?"

"Perhaps, maybe, every smart person doesn't expose all his stuff to the outside, which is tantamount to making it easy for the opponent to find a way to deal with him." What I saw and heard tonight was indeed different from what I had done before, but who knows if he was acting tonight? ”

Nurman nodded, and Kairim's words made perfect sense.

Kairim took another sip and continued: "Our visit to the Imperial Capital this time is an excellent opportunity to learn about this empire, and because of the Royal Athletic Competition, we have quite a lot of opportunities to contact other forces. For example, this Bailey and his father as the Secretary of State, if it weren't for this competition, we wouldn't normally have access to it. It would be very beneficial to us if we could reach a certain agreement with them, but after all, they were the dignitaries of the empire, and it would be very troublesome if they turned their faces and did not recognize people. ”

"We don't want them to do anything, as long as they turn a blind eye to our trade," Nurman whispered. ”

Kairim nodded and said, "Yes, a strong empire needs a strong army, and what supports this army is a huge amount of gold coins. You met with the guys in Seabreeze the other day, and they promised to open a route to get us what we needed, but they're pirates anyway, and they can only keep them safe during the sea. For this passage to be safe, a safe port is needed. Our forces are in the steppes and not close to the sea, which requires a person with real power to take care of it. ”

Nurman smiled and said, "Isn't tonight's contact just right?"

Kairim shook his head and said, "I'm afraid it may not be, according to our information, his mother controls several large chambers of commerce and also has unknown trade routes. As long as we can tie the interests of both sides together, it will be good for everyone. Conversely, if there is a conflict of interest, do you think they will give up what is their own?"

Nurman nodded, and said, "It seems that we are going to increase the collection of information in this area in the next step, and if we can know something about his mother's side, it will be very helpful for us to have further contact in the future." ”

Kai Limu said: "Yes, this matter is very important, I am afraid that we will use our power in the imperial capital, if we can really get their tacit approval, and the entire passage is unimpeded, then our strength will be greatly improved, and we will be closer to our goal!"

Nurman nodded firmly and said, "I went out overnight to pass this order down, hoping to have results within a few days."

"Although this matter is urgent, don't show an anxious look, and don't rush them too much, after all, for so many years, many people have known about the existence of Shelley's Chamber of Commerce, but no one has heard of their continued trade routes," said Kairim. And we are not trying to find out what they do, but just to get a general understanding of the distribution of their interests, so as to avoid touching their interests in further contact. ”

Nurman nodded and said, "I see." And what about tomorrow night's date with those guys in the south?"

Kairim thought for a moment and said, "According to our intelligence, they hope to build a city of their own, and they don't have much ambition. So if the risk is too high, they won't do it. I'm not optimistic about them. ”

"But," said Kairim, with a change of tone, "but the mountains of the south are rich in minerals, such as iron for making weapons. Although these guys don't have large-scale mines of their own, if we smuggle ore from certain southern lords through Seabreeze City, we will definitely pass through their sphere of influence, so it is very necessary to build a good relationship. ”

"What about the Northwest Passage?" Nurman asked, "We've been working well with them, so we just give up?"

Kairim shook his head and said, "We are not the only buyer over there, it is said that more than seventy percent of the output of the mines under the hands of several lords in the next few years will be booked by a large buyer at three times the price. And we have been using this passage for several years, and the empire may not be unaware of it, it is time to open a new passage. ”

Nurman nodded, he thought for a moment, and then said, "In a few days, the top eight will be selected in this competition, should we spend a little energy on this? Get some information about the opponent?"

Kairim smiled and said, "Tomorrow Bailey has a treat, let's go watch a game together." His Majesty the Emperor will also be in attendance, which is a good opportunity. You remember, when the time comes, you will be mainly responsible for this side, and I will arrange for Rugman and Rukani to do the collection of opponents' information. ”

"Our goal is not to win the championship and if that happens, it won't do us any good, it will put us in the sights of some people in the empire, and it won't be good for us," Kairim explained. Therefore, we have to end our game decently, not only to let others know that we have a certain strength, but also not to show this strength too strong to cause others to be vigilant, this is really not an easy thing!"
