Inside the castle, Red Hitomi was waiting at the edge of the school yard with her sister Black Hitomi, who had just woken up.

"If you can, then red pupils." Jiang Yuan said casually.

When the time comes, the two of them will eat together and have a good care, Hei Tong is eight years old this year, a little young, and it is not good to stay up late.

"Yes." Tius nodded, of course, the female companion of the dinner dance was not limited to the relationship of partner, lover, wife and the like.

"Has the Sabins been here lately?"

"I've come to the castle to ask about Niwu."

"He's missing."

"Jokes."

Jiang Yuan: "......"

It's unbelievable.

"Uncle." Red Hitomi trotted over after seeing the two, Black Hitomi followed behind her sister and beckoned with a smile, the little girl had a good impression of her uncle, at least the maid's matter at the beginning could see that the other party was very kind.

"Red Hitomi, if you want, come with me to the banquet in seven days." Jiang Yuan asked softly.

"Okay, but can we leave sooner, uncle." Red Pupil has no objection, how can there be no active rice, even the earl's family cannot be the standard banquet every day in winter.

Jiang Yuan looked at Tius, who replied, "Red Pupil may be going to enter the guard rank in the next few weeks, she is the most qualified one in the history of the family. ”

Jiang Yuan nodded, this world is said to have physical talent, Estes and the leader of the assassination association have shown quite good strength when they were young, perhaps it is related to some components in the body of dangerous species, the former was born in the hunting tribe of the Northland and grew up eating the meat of dangerous species, and the latter often haunts places where dangerous species live.

I don't know if I can get a surprise by using alchemy and refining.

Entering the restaurant on the second floor, the butler is leading the dinner arrangement, the table is dominated by meat, the sauce is sprinkled with steak and mixed with a large amount of white bread crumbs as the main dish, the finely cut meat is dotted with small berries, the gravy is mixed with nuts to form a jelly, and the whole roast rabbit meat is mixed with puree.

Jiang Yuan was silent for a moment when he saw this, and after refusing the servant's help, he pulled out a chair and sat down, the only sugar-grilled river fish on the dinner table that could be called the highlight was estimated to have been messed up with the taste by spices.

"Don't like it very much?" Count Tius asked, surprised.

"I remembered something else." Jiang Yuan shook his head slightly, the ingredients were top-notch, and the method was criminal, of course, it might just be that he was not used to it, and the cold food at the banquet was not so abstract when he first came.

"How many people are you going to take into battle?" Tius asked again.

"Three thousand people, the combat power is not strong, barely make up the number, if you survive, you will be the backbone in the future, by the way, give me the gold coins." Jiang Yuan forked a piece of fish meat and said.

Tius was really too lazy to get angry, and after his eyes signaled to the butler, he said in a serious tone: "Our salt has had a great repercussion after flowing into the imperial capital along the original commercial channels, and in order to open up the situation, half of the high-quality products belong to the gift, but in the end a baron of the imperial capital died, saying that the new salt was poisonous, and then the Marquis of Hastings of Lanhai County sent a letter of protest on behalf of the local nobles, and the meaning is self-evident." ”

"How's it going?"

"The profit is very high, but it didn't meet expectations, the matter of the baron of the imperial capital can't actually fool too many people, I'm just worried that the interest group of the old salt will push for the revision of the "Salt Law", with the current state of the empire, it is very likely, and the other party will not be willing to play commercial competition."

"I'm full." Jiang Yuan put down his knife and fork, he already knew what the other party really wanted to say, generally speaking, only interest groups can contend with interest groups.

See +1 for the poor dagger

"Don't you think about it anymore." Tius said: "Estes is only nineteen years old this year, powerful, the leader of the Earnest faction, the back is rare and clean, countless noble merchants in the imperial capital are her admirers, by the way, she is also very beautiful, suitable for pursuit." ”

"First of all, this kind of thing doesn't mean that I can do it if I want to, people have their own ideas, secondly, even if I am not the head of the family, the Tius family will be involved in a similar side, secondly, the operation is difficult, I can't laugh purely, and finally, I have no plans to find a partner for the time being."

"Why?" Tius was extremely curious about the last one.

"Because I haven't discovered a gap beyond my soul's strength for the time being, I don't need to be filled with external objects." Jiang Yuan said casually, "Why did you suddenly have such an adventurous idea, there was a change in the imperial capital?"

is closely related to Estes, which can no longer be described as simply standing in line, it is equivalent to getting into the death match, and the living may not be able to go down.

"The princes have all returned to the imperial capital, Your Majesty probably can't do it, if you can go directly to the core, it's okay to gamble."

"Tell the truth."

"Mulley's only son died, and now it seems that the previous ones died strangely."

"Earnest is so bold." Jiang Yuan commented that the impact of the loss of the heir is not insignificant, the balance has been broken by the last weight, and most importantly, Ornest has shown the determination and action to completely outperform his opponent.

Despite the dirty means, in the imperial environment of this period, it can provide great confidence to one's own people.

"Yes, Earnest took the initiative to start a war, and it was the kind that absolutely one side would die, and even I inevitably thought that he had the confidence to win." Tius sighed.

"Did Estes have a god before?"

"There's no intelligence, and she's not like someone who can cover it up."

"Then there should be one this time."

"Almost, Ornest can't accept the failure of the winter hunt, even if it costs a lot to win."

Jiang Yuan picked up the knife and fork again and began to eat the steak. Personality alone is not enough for Earnest to bet on Estes with all his might, because there are many disguise masters in the court, and no one can guarantee that they will not look away, but if you add the death of the emperor and the decisive battle begins, it is very reasonable.

However, Estes was quickly promoted to the strongest after obtaining the Demon Essence, which should still exceed Earnest's expectations, so that the two were equal in a sense later.

Dinner was an important part of the communication, and after the small talk, both of them ate quickly, but they were only slightly inferior to the red pupils.

After dinner, Count Tius went to his study to continue his work, and the Red Pupil sisters took a break after finishing their daywork and training.

Behind the castle, in the garden, Jiang Yuan half sat on the recliner and looked through his notes, the light of the oil lamp was not too bright, but fortunately he could order a few more.

"Uncle, do you want to play a game?" Red Hitomi turned his head and asked, and next to him, Black Hitomi threw out the wooden ball in his hand and accurately hit the wooden statue piled up twenty meters away.

"No, I'm busy." Jiang Yuan replied that the two little girls played a game very similar to bowling, he was not very good at this kind of activity, if the rest time was in the daytime, they would be led by knights to go hunting on horseback, but this winter is not possible, after all, the assassin will come at any time.

It didn't take long for the butler to deliver five bags, which were the share of the new salt.
