"Archduke Puffey, can you explain what is going on between you and Governor Ssalon?" Count Remchat's face was gloomy, his tone was thick with dissatisfaction, and his eyes looked sharply at the still dazed Grand Duke Puffey,

And his unusually strict expression and tone made Grand Duke Pufei, who was one of the monarchs of the Gangfei country, tremble in his heart, and the status of the Falcon Empire in the hearts of Gangfei people rose again,

Although he already had a high opinion of this emerging country, he was still surprised by the current situation, and judging from the appearance of Remchat, the senior affairs officer of the Ministry of War, he still underestimated the importance of this country in the hearts of the people.

"Could it be that something is wrong with the estimation?"

Grand Duke Pufei frowned slightly, the Casey Force who occupied the northern sea certainly represented a strong navy, but after all, it was a sea area, and it would not have a lot to do with the land, and the Count of Remsit in front of him was not a naval officer, and he had long heard that among the newly rising generals, this Count of Remchatt was the most prominent,

In the battle with the Eastern Constantine Empire, Remchat pinned down the 100,000 troops on the left flank of the Constantine Empire with 20,000 cavalry troops, and made great achievements for the Emperor Gangfei to seize the central area of Rome in one fell swoop, so he was appreciated by the Emperor Gangfei.

is only thirty-two years old, and he has already climbed to countless Gangfei generals, and the fifth-ranked senior affairs officer of the Ministry of Military Affairs is extremely desired, mainly responsible for the supervision of the combat orders of the Ministry of Military Affairs, and if necessary, he will also serve as the supervising officer of His Majesty the Emperor, directly supervising the entire campaign.

This is a position of real power that even the imperial marshal sees and needs to give a little politeness, because he represents the supreme emperor

But this is such a pivotal figure in the non-military government, and the meaning of partiality expressed at this moment is so obvious.

Without asking for any reason, there is no doubt about blaming the cause directly on one's own side. Count Remchat already knew that no matter how he explained, the other party had already made up his mind and would definitely not offend the governor of the Falcon Empire

"It seems that the so-called wheel of prophecy of the women of the Burrows family has really begun to work!"

The Grand Duke of Pufey's face was ugly, although as a duke of the principality, in the face of an imperial earl like Remchat, he had to lower his posture to answer, and his heart was flooding with monstrous waves,

This unexpected ring may actually bring a new future to the Principality of Puffey. So now, it's time to make your own decisions, whether to continue to serve as a puppet manipulated at will by the Gang Fei Empire, or to step into a future path where you can't see the direction clearly,

"I can swear by the honor of the Duke, I have absolutely nothing to be rude to the other party!" Grand Duke Pufei quickly made a decision, his face was resolute, he held back the excitement in his heart, and said slowly with pretended calm.

"Is that so? The Grand Duke should know that this means that once something is found to be inaccurate, Your Excellency's Duke name will be revoked by the Empire!" the corner of Count Prexiat's mouth sneered, and tilted his head. As the Grand Duke of Pufei thought, in order to appease the anger of the Governor of the Southwest of Falcon, who played an important role in Gangfei, Remschart would not hesitate to choose to sacrifice the Grand Duke of Pufei.

At the beginning, Count Remchat, who was still the secretary of the Ministry of War, proposed it to Emperor Gangfei. On the condition of the ten-year fiscal tax of the Principality of Pufei, as a condition for the return of the Grand Duke of Pufei, at the beginning. The Principality of Putao is also grateful to Gangfei,

However, with the passage of time, the finances of the Principality gradually became hollow, and the Principality of Putau had to borrow foreign debts to survive, only to suddenly wake up to the fact that for ten years, the Principality of Pufei had already fallen into the dilemma of economic decline, people's livelihood hardship, internal and external difficulties, and high debts.

It's like a patient who has been weakened for a long time, and it is difficult to even make a move

Without fiscal and tax revenues, even the most basic patriotic army cannot be maintained, let alone secretly accumulating strength and raising the idea of confrontation with Gangfei.

In order to maintain the operation of the principality, the Principality of Putao had to be close to the political center of the Gangfei Empire, and finally really became a vassal puppet dependent on Gangfei, which is much more cost-effective than directly killing a Grand Duke of Pufei and then erecting a new Duchy Grand Duke who hates the Gangfei Empire in his heart.

And this plan has been in place for six years

As expected, the Putao Principality has been unable to get rid of the influence of Gangfei, and in the difficult situation of life, the Putao people are full of resentment against the incompetence of the Principality, and the Putao Principality is rapidly splitting and disintegrating from within.

The time is ripe, the internal plan of the Gangfei side to get rid of the current Grand Duke of Pufei is already being implemented, and the Gangfei Empire needs a puppet enough to control zhì to manage the Duchy of Pufei instead of them, preferably the kind that is too young to even speak,

And the Grand Duke of Pufei, a monarch who has experienced hardships and has a certain ambition and talent, obviously does not meet the needs of the empire, but the upper echelons are still waiting, so the Grand Duke who has basically been overturned is still in this position, and the cousin of the Grand Duke, the King of Filas County, who was vigorously supported by the Gangfei Empire during the imprisonment of the Grand Duke of Pufei, happened to marry the daughter of a wealthy family at the beginning of the year.

What the empire lacks now is just waiting for the product of the combination of the two to land, and he really lacks even the most basic courtesy to this Grand Duke of Pufei, who will soon face the fate of captivity.

He looked around with blazing eyes, saw a figure hiding in the crowd, and then made a gesture, and the secret agent who had been observing the situation just now came out of the crowd,

"Lord Rem......" The agent took off the hat on his head and saluted him,

"Tell me what you know!" said Count Remchat,

"Yes, my lord!" the spy glanced at the Grand Duke of Putau with a somewhat gloomy gaze, and whispered in the ear of the Count of Prechat,

Seeing this spy come out, Grand Duke Pufei's face showed a rare hint of relief, there was finally an eyewitness, in fact, Grand Duke Pufei was not worried about the secret agent's report, after all, the distance was quite far away at that time, even the secret agent could not figure out the specific situation, so he knew very well that the secret agent could only meet the two in the weapons shop at most, and then the two suddenly turned their faces here to report the truth

"Weapons shop?"

Count Remsat listened, his eyebrows furrowed, and his gaze glanced at Duke Putau's body

At such a critical moment, Grand Duke Pufei actually went to the weapons shop, and the meaning here is too worth considering. But what he needed to know most now was how two people who were not related at all could suddenly turn their faces, and it was a matter of life and death for millions of people on the entire northern border of the empire.

"I don't know, it seems to be because of something"

The agent was a man of about forty years old, dressed in civilian clothes, with a somewhat flat face, and said in a somewhat confused tone, "I saw the two of them arguing about something, and then one of them suddenly turned his face"

"Turning your face?"

"Right here, in the middle of the street"

"Alright, I got it!"

Count Remchart waved his hand at the agent. He glanced unnaturally at the bustling shop on the other side of the street, and the golden and gorgeous decoration made his pupils shrink.

There is no need to explain, a wry smile appeared on the corner of Remchat's mouth,

What a thing!

The two people who quarreled in front of the largest jewelry store in Imperial Kyoto, what else could they do but for money, it seems that it was a dispute over property, and it should be the restless Grand Duke Pufei. I accidentally robbed the Governor and prepared to go back to the treasure that he gave to his own monarch!

However, what the governor said was not all intimidation, and if the falcon happened to regard this act as an insult to him, it was very likely that he would lead the army further south. After all, the entire northern border is in its hands! The Gangfei side has no ability to fight back, this is like a fish on the chopping board, and the other party can cut a few knives if they want to.

"Lord Doge"

Remchatt turned. With a kind smile on the corner of his mouth, he saluted the angry Salon, with a completely different attitude. He said, "In order to apologize for compensation, as a guest of the Empire, you can choose a jewel from the crown of jewels in front of you and take it back, which is regarded as the Empire's respect for the Governor!"

"Jewel, what's the use of me asking for this......" Salon's eyes were on fire, and he was about to open his mouth with an angry expression

"I heard that Miss Turit Colin likes the falcon-shaped ruby pin the most!" At the critical moment, Duke Putau gritted his teeth, and suddenly said loudly with the boldness, his whole face turned purple with nervousness,

He didn't know if it would work, and at this time, as long as the governor of Salon refused, it was estimated that Remchatt would be very happy to imprison him, and his title as Grand Duke would be rightfully removed from the Gang Fei Empire

Sweat wet Grand Duke Putao's back, and then he heard Salon's voice stop "Miss Turit Colin!" Salon's bright gaze flashed from Grand Duke Putao's tightly closed eyes and nervous blue face, once as the chief training officer of the Imperial Military Doctor, His Majesty Falcon had indeed given a Falcon Ring

"Miss Turit Colleen...... what is this!" Remshat almost fainted when he heard this, he mistakenly thought that the angry Governor of Salon was furious that his lover had not bought jewelry! And his eyes also happened to notice that Salon, who was still angry just now, showed a stunned expression after hearing this woman's name, and his open mouth was stunned, as if he wanted to say something, but in the end he didn't say anything, but that extremely incomparable expression had already explained a qiē "It's really a shame for the imperial soldiers!" Remchatt's shoulders trembled slightly, and he couldn't hold back the shame that rose in his heart, when did he need to take care of this kind of thing as a senior officer of the Ministry of Military Affairs

"I mean, Master Remchat, who paid for the jewels!" asked the young man in satin, who had been watching the bustle, unseemly

"Imperial Military Department!" Remshat glanced at the young man angrily and snorted strangely

"Since there is no problem, I still have official business to deal with, so I won't bother, I hope the two of you have fun!" turned over and jumped on the war horse led by the guards, Presciat immediately ran away and disappeared "Hello, I am Rem Iko of the crown of jewels" As soon as Remsit left, the young man in gorgeous silk greeted him and introduced himself,

Then his gaze stayed on the body of the Grand Duke of Putao for a moment, "Grand Duke, the treasures you have placed on this time have not been sold, the main reason is that the price is too high, after all, in addition to you, there are also some jewels from the north that are also being sold, and they are all gathered together for a while, the price is really suppressed, this time I am afraid that it will disappoint you!"

"The jewels of the north?" said Grand Duke Putao's face was stunned for a moment. He obviously knew Rem Iko, and he seemed to have a good relationship

"The northwest coast of Obarro!a very magical place, of course, most of it is smuggled goods, but the color and style are good, and the most important thing is that it is said to come from another continent, and it has a foreign culture that is enough to whet the appetite of customers, so it is more advantageous!" Remuico shrugged his shoulders strangely, "So unfortunately, I can't sell treasures to you for the time being!"

"This time it's a bit of trouble! As you know, the situation in the country is getting more and more serious, if it weren't for the support of the Burrows family. I may have ...... long ago" The corner of the Grand Duke's mouth stopped with a wry smile, his fingers interlaced, and his face suddenly became gloomy. I don't know what I'm thinking,

"Smuggled goods on the Northwest Coast!"

And Salon's face was full of black lines, he didn't expect the smuggling of the empire to be so rampant, thinking that these treasures from the interior of Ikadhiva were all circulating from his southwest, his heart was dripping blood, this is all money!

The appearance of this Rem Iko definitely meets the standards of aristocratic femininity, with short blond hair. The bridge of the nose is straight, the face is a little pale, and the blue blood vessels under the skin can be faintly seen, but this is the sign of a high blue-blooded nobleman. And his face is somewhat similar to Remsciat who came just now, but the temperament is very different, the Remsciat in front obviously has a martial style of an iron-blooded soldier, and this Prejko is dressed in gorgeous satin. But it is a typical aristocratic gentleman's demeanor.

"The crown of jewels is the property of the Rem family! It's a well-known fact throughout Kyoto, and Rem Iko was my best friend when I was a student, if not for his covert support. I can't hold on now, of course, he's also the cousin of the Count of Remchat!"

The Duke of Putao next to him looked at Salon's confused appearance, as if he had thought of something, and then quickly explained with a sneer, "Since Lord Remshat is so generous, why should the Governor refuse!" "I'm not interested in jewelry, in fact, I just want to learn about the jewelry trade in Gangfei, but it seems that there are also unexpected gains, such as smuggling on the northwest coast!" Salon said disapprovingly, in fact, he was already thinking in his heart, how to hit these guys well, some time ago the war in the southwest region, coupled with the explosive advance of the imperial strategy, the rampant smuggling can be imagined "Smuggling is always everywhere! Why bother about that!" Duke Putao's voice said with a bit of praise, "Come in and take a look, or have a good harvest, if the jewelry industry is the crown of the entire Obarro, and the crown of jewelry is the most dazzling jewel in this crown!" Here, you'll find some of the most gorgeous and beautiful jewelry styles in the entire Obarro region!"

"That's a reminder to me!"

Remuyiko looked left and right, and then said to the two of them with a twinkle in his eyes, "Although I can't buy your treasure, this Governor seems to be able to do it easily, anyway, the Ministry of Military Affairs only has to pay! They don't care about the content of the sale, even if they check it afterwards, it's no problem to have me, there are a lot of contraband recently, just find a fake thing! But the total price must be within 50,000 gold coins" "Oh? Why does Salon raise his eyebrows" Because my generous cousin, as long as he has an account of 50,000 gold coins, he will not recognize it!" Reim Iko said with a very dissatisfied face, "This is not the first time that guy has done this, and the last debt has not been settled! The family is the first famous general to join the military in a hundred years, but the object of countless people in the family, it doesn't matter if you owe a little money to the family, there are many people who think like this." Don't they know that it's not easy to make this money?"

"It's a pity," Duke Putao shook his head regretfully, "The total value of the treasures I brought this time is sixty thousand gold coins, and I originally wanted to use it as the purchase money for the weapons of the guards, but it seems that this time it will be delayed!" "You still have the money to form a guard?" Reimiko looked at Duke Putao with bulging eyes and an embarrassed face, "You can't just wait stupidly to be imprisoned!" Duke Putao pursed the corners of his mouth and said with a little envy. Do you think that everyone can make money just by changing hands like you, but the business network of the Rem family is all over the Congo Empire, and how many war spoils are sold through your network, do you dare to say that all these gorgeous jewels in your store are bought with money?"

Salon's eyes narrowed slightly, he was born as a lowest-level mercenary, how could he not know what these two guys were doing, did they play double reeds, what a clumsy acting skill!" "Okay, stop acting, all the 50,000 gold coins will be given to you, I only need one thing, the whereabouts of Miss Turit Colin and the falcon ring in your hand!"

"This ......" The Grand Duke Putao, who was still impatiently crying for poverty just now, showed a hesitant look at this moment

"What? What else do you want, my patience is limited!" said Salon, his tone turned cold, and the guards behind him pressed their hands on the hilt of their swords again

"Don't get me wrong, it's just that the owner of this ring, Miss Turit Colin, said that this ring is worth at least one principality!" said Grand Duke Putao gritting his teeth, thinking of what he had said when he came

"Pufe Rafael, are you crazy, how much can a broken ring be worth!" Reim Yike next to him angrily shouted directly to the real name of the Grand Duke of Putao,

And the three entourages behind the Grand Duke of Putao, their faces changed at this moment, their lords are crazy or stupid, they are just a worthless ring, and they even talk about reaching a principality,

"Pay attention to protect the Grand Duke!"

The three attendants whispered, and all of them touched the hilt of the sword on their waists, and one of the young men stepped forward and blocked in front of the Grand Duke of Putao, who had already understood it just now, and the murderous Governor of Salon did not agree with a word, and turned his face when he said that he would turn his face,

None of the dozen or so entourages was not a master, the young man standing in front of the Grand Duke of Putao, his hands were sweating, and there were large beads of sweat rolling down his head, he was calculating how to block the enemy, but in the end, he sadly found that even if he picked one from a dozen or so entourages, he did not have the confidence to win, not to mention the three in front of him, which already made him feel difficult to move his feet in terms of momentum

"A principality? interesting!" Salon looked at the tense situation in front of him, rarely laughed instead of anger, and said coldly, "You are indeed very courageous, but it is really fateful, if it was before, I would not hesitate to order the guards to hack you to death, and then take the ring in your hand, since you are the grand duke of the Putao Principality, you are not afraid of no clues to find out, but unfortunately I am not just a warrior now"

"That's why I'm a little envious of you!" Salon said as his voice stopped, his eyes focused on Grand Duke Putao, and he took a deep breath as the guards lowered their hands on the hilt

"Or maybe the price you offered is a bit outrageous, but the person who wants to buy your ring really offers this price! That's a madman who once destroyed a kingdom with hundreds of thousands of troops for a woman!

The Principality's bargaining chip, for him, is just as simple as a sentence,

I will report your request to him, tell me where you live, and the rest depends on your fate!" "Destroy a kingdom with hundreds of thousands of soldiers for a woman......" Grand Duke Putao looked at Salonn with a dull face, the wind blew, and he felt a cold behind him, and his clothes were soaked "Crazy, you are crazy, he is even more crazy!" Remuik's body trembled, and he didn't know what he was cursing (to be continued......
