Chapter 250: Find the door
Titian's small building, the living room with countless precious objects piled up and dusty in many places.
Lying on the balcony of the living room, Lin Qi took a deep breath and sniffed the thick stack of huge gold tickets in his hand. Early in the morning, after Lin Qi and the others returned to the imperial capital on the emperor's royal passenger ship, Mares took the initiative to send these golden tickets, and also sent the contracts of the mines he lost to Latus.
Smelling the unique ink aroma of the golden ticket, Lin Qi was intoxicated. Saliva continued to gush from the corners of his mouth, and he was deeply intoxicated with the pleasure brought to him by this huge sum of money.
In the living room, Titian was toasting Enzo cup after glass, both of them smiling and in an indescribably good mood.
It was a hearty victory, from which Latus, Titian, and the young nobles of their faction all benefited greatly, especially Latus, who won several veins from Mares, and added tens of millions of profits to him every year. Mines, unlike ordinary shops, in a world where conflicts erupt from time to time, the metals that can forge weapons and armor are very expensive, especially those rare metal veins, which are sky-high.
If it weren't for the fact that Latus rushed to the Victory Palace at the emperor's behest, the three of them would have celebrated by drinking together.
As for Lin Qi, he has been in that fugue state since he got those golden tickets, and he has been sniffing those golden tickets there, and people are a little demented. So Titian didn't pull him to drink with him, and drank with Enzo on his own.
"Do you know why Maris lost all her bets so happily this time?"
Titian's smile was unusually whimsical, and he carried the wine glass, and shook it lightly on his fingertips.
"Viper troops. This is the elite directly under the Great Prince. The eldest prince was the eldest of the three princes, and in his youth he fought with the orcs in the final years of the Hundred Years of the Continental War. Therefore, the eldest prince can be regarded as the most talented general in the royal family except for His Majesty. ”
So after the end of the war, the eldest prince naturally received the support of the military, and his subordinates also controlled a lot of elite forces in the empire. Viper. This elite at the top of the empire is the strongest sword under the command of the Great Prince, and it is also the Great Prince's guard. ”
With a strange pouting and a strange smile, Titian looked at Enzo and said, "All the Viper's soldiers are at least mid-level or above, each of them is innocent, and every one of them is loyal to the Empire. Therefore, no outsider can mobilize the viper. ”
Enzo pondered for a long time, and he shook his head: "The eldest prince will definitely not admit this matter. ”
Titian poured himself a glass of wine: "He really doesn't admit that he sent someone to assassinate you and the trainees of the Iron Fist. However, the evidence is conclusive, whether he admits it or not. The Viper men have appeared on the battlefield of actual combat exercises, and they should now be on a secret mission thousands of miles away. The inspector of the military department has proven that sixty fighters in the Viper unit are missing. ”
Enzo took a deep breath: "So, the eldest prince is in trouble?"
Titian squinted at the wine glass: "Maybe, it depends on the meaning of His Majesty, so His Royal Highness Latus was also summoned to the Victory Palace." If His Majesty wants to punish him severely, this matter can be regarded as privately mobilizing the emperor's ** team and plotting a rebellion; This is the personal feud between His Highness Latus and you, it is just a gamble!"
Lin Qi finally woke up from the charm of the golden ticket, he hurriedly stuffed the golden ticket into his boots, and then jumped into the living room, kicking a celadon spittoon in the way and flying out.
"It's just a gamble? hell, what is the emperor going to do with this? Hey. Hey, they almost didn't kill Enzo!"
Titian looked at Lin Qi and shook his head gently.
"His Majesty has already given compensation. Enzo's future in the army is certainly bright, and Linzi, Your Majesty may have promised you the position of Imperial Mine Chief! The head of the Imperial Mines and the heads of the ministries under the Minister of the Interior of the Empire are of the same level, although they are only ministers serving the Imperial Family, but their powers are extremely great, as long as you practice in this position for a few more years, once you are transferred to the ranks of the Imperial Courtiers, your www.biquge.info of the Pen Pavilion will be very high, frighteningly high!"
Lin Qi's eyes widened: "So?"
Titian sighed and shook his head again: "So, although His Majesty said it very strictly, in fact, when he opened his mouth to promise you the position of the head of the imperial family's mines, His Majesty had already made a decision!"
Lin Qi's face was not very good-looking, Enzo and Longgen were his brothers, his partners, but those vipers almost didn't turn Enzo and them into a puddle of pus and blood, he couldn't swallow this breath.
If the emperor severely punished the eldest prince and Mares, then Lin Qi would feel a little better in his heart, but since the emperor had already made the decision to raise it high and put it down gently, the anger in Lin Qi's heart would not be so easy to eliminate.
As he was talking, there was a sound of light footsteps outside the door, and Yu Lian, whose head was covered with sweat, strode in, and then he almost crashed into a two-meter-high vase, and he couldn't help complaining: "Titian, my honorable Excellency, my dear cousin, this living room of yours should be cleaned up, this is the most crowded living room I have ever seen in the Empire." ”
Titian sighed deeply, and he lay on the sofa with his hands spread out his scoundrel: "There is a lack of a woman, Yu Lian, I lack a woman around me who can help me take care of my housework." Any news?"
Yu Lian walked around the crowded displays with great difficulty, walked to Titian and Enzo, poured himself a glass of wine, and then drank it all with pleasure. Sighing comfortably, Yu Lian shook her head very regretfully: "Your Majesty scolded His Royal Highness Latus and His Highness Mares, and then praised His Highness Bhikkhus, who 'never causes trouble'. In the end, His Majesty warned the two Highnesses not to gamble with their elders' private property, and then punished them for not going out for three months behind closed doors!"
Helplessly, he spread his hands: "Earl Bird was arrested by the guards, and all his clansmen were thrown into prison. That's it, thing, that's it. ”
Lin Qi looked at Titian, he was curious about who this Earl of Bird was.
Titian sighed, he rummaged through a cabinet beside him for a while, pulled out a yellowed piece of paper and handed it to Lin Qi. The above is the detailed information of Earl Bird, he is a powerful person on the imperial side, a representative of the radical faction of the military, and he is in charge of things like the transmission of military orders and daily coordination of the Viper unit and several other standing legions.
In other words, within the Empire, Earl Bird is one of the few people who can mobilize the Viper forces.
"So, he's a ghost for the dead?" Lin Qi snorted dissatisfiedly. Throwing the yellowed piece of paper back to Titian, Lin Qi said angrily: "Okay, well, if our noble emperor is reluctant to deal with his own sons and grandsons, then...... Let's have some fun, something pleasing to the eye and a way to make our purse swell!"
Titian looked at Lin Qi curiously, not knowing what he wanted to do.
Lin Qi gritted his teeth and muttered a few words to Titian, and then Titian applauded excitedly, and he immediately rushed into his bedroom, changed into a gorgeous dress, and shouted to gather his guards.
Not long after, a team of hundreds of people roared out from the side gate of the Prime Minister's Palace, and half an hour later, the team that swelled to three hundred people outside came to the front of the store of the Hell Hammer, Lin Qi rode on a tall horse, pointed to the gate of the Hell Hammer and ordered loudly: "Hey, brave and loyal descendants of the dwarven ancestral spirits, I hired you, so, slam this gate for me!"
What Lin Qi brought here was a full hundred dwarven warriors, and it was the dwarves that Lin Qi had been fooled into hiring a few days ago.
These dwarves are waist-tall as normal people, but their bodies are equal in width and height, and their body thickness is about the same as their height. They were covered in sturdy muscle bumps, and from a distance, they looked like boxy lumps of flesh.
Their faces were full of heavy breathing, their bodies were draped in heavy dwarven chain armor, and they carried heavy boxy dwarven warhammers in their hands, and each of them had a large wine bag hanging from their waists. Hearing Lin Qi's order, these dwarf warriors with red faces and noses were basically rosacea, and they were all stunned.
A dwarf strode out, and he looked at Lin Qi in confusion: "Your Excellency Lin Qi, please give us a reason, why are we attacking the Hell Hammer?
Lin Qi looked at the dwarves angrily, and he roared loudly: "Hell, why are you asking me why? Shouldn't you obey my orders completely? I will order you now, smash this shop, remove all the valuable things, and then break the legs of all the dwarves inside!"
The dwarves stared at each other in a daze, as dwarven mercenaries, they should indeed completely obey Lin Qi's orders. But as a member of the dwarves, how could they attack the dwarves' own estates, especially the Hellhammer, which was the property of their dwarven king, and was the economic lifeblood of the dwarven empire, and they were even more unlikely to do it.
But that's what the employer commanded!
The dwarves clawed their heads in distress, and their brains, which were soaked in alcohol, couldn't figure out what to do for a while.
Lin Qi's face sank, and he was about to roar loudly at the group of dwarves, when an old dwarf who was drunk and dazed had already come out of the shop. The old dwarf smiled happily, like a weasel when he sees a tender little hen. (To be continued)
