7. The City Lord's Dinner

Manov ordered the release, and quickly notified the naval headquarters in St. Buluogang, and the naval headquarters complained, but no one dared to say a word, just secretly scolded Manov to the bloody head, and when they later learned about the benefits that Manov had obtained in this incident, they forced Manov to invite all the officers above the rank of captain of the naval group to eat for a month.

The Great Wall slowly sailed to the dock of the port and was ready to dock, but there was a problem: the berth of the pier in Shengbuluo Port was too small to get close to the dock at all, Sun Tiejian had no choice but to let the Great Wall dock at the offshore, and then, he and Han Wenzheng and others went ashore in a lifeboat. This made Manov, who saw it in the back, embarrassed, alas, it was really better than not knowing the way, and it was more shameful to die, needless to say that he couldn't make such a big ship, and even the berth of the dock was not big enough for the other party to moor, shame to death, it was really a shame to throw it to grandma's house.

Seeing the giant Great Wall moored in the offshore, the wharf of St. Buluo Port was crowded with people, everyone rushed to see a strange thing, it can be said that the current St. Buluo Port can be regarded as an empty alley, such a big ship, they don't need to say that they have seen it, they have never even heard of it, not to mention getting on the ship to see, even if they look at it on the shore, it is enough for them to talk about it for a year and a half.

And the people who came down from the giant ship surprised them even more, not with the people who looked like them, but with their hair, skin color, People with different eye complexions, people are not as tall as them, they are shorter, much taller than those dwarves, all of them are very young, and each of them is very handsome and beautiful, and they are wearing strange clothes, which is strange enough, these people regard Han Wenzheng and the others as monkeys in the zoo, but it's no wonder that they, it's a strange thing, who doesn't want to see it?

Just when Han Wen was waiting for the shore, there was a sudden sound of hooves on the shore, it was obvious that there was a group of cavalry coming, and there were quite a few of them, at least about a thousand horsemen, and the people at the dock dodged to both sides to make way for the cavalry, and those who could mobilize so many cavalry in Shengbuluo Port were of course the garrison troops in Shengbuluogang, and of course these people did not dare to block the way.

Han Wenzheng waited for a group of cavalry to arrive like a whirlwind, Han Wenzheng stood still, observed it for a while, and said: "It is uniform, the horses are extremely majestic, and the knights have the strength of three or more levels, it is an elite cavalry." "Father is right, a small port city has such cavalry, it seems that the strength of the Western Continent is still above our imagination. "They speak in Chinese, and of course people in the western continent can't understand it. "However, they are not a threat to us, and they will not come to attack us, so leave them alone and see what they have for their purpose. Qian Tiexin said.

The cavalry came twenty feet away in front of everyone, and all of them stopped, very neatly, and it could be seen from their movements that this was definitely a very elite cavalry, and the first general turned over and dismounted, and said loudly: "I am Viscount Ferguglan Gerfer, the commander of the cavalry of St. Bulook, and I have come to greet the guests from afar on the orders of the lord of the city, Count Marbony, and on behalf of the lord of the city, I extend a welcome to the guests from afar." ”

Sun Tiejian greeted him, and with the etiquette of the Yanhuang clan, he clasped his fists and saluted: "General Fogelant is too polite, I am Sun Tiejian, the captain of the Great Wall, thank you General Fogelang, and please thank the city lord Count Marberni on my behalf." "Captain Sun, Lord Earl has prepared your hotel for you, everything in your hotel is ready, you can stay in the hotel, you don't have to go to the hotel, please come with me." "Then there's Viscount Law, father and mother, let's go. "Okay, Jian'er, this trip is yours, you decide." ”

Gui Guesthouse, which is equivalent to the post house in ancient China, is specially used to greet foreign envoys, all the arrangements are naturally beautiful, and the service of the maids is also very thoughtful, just to drink those unpalatable bitter bean soup (Han Wenzheng calls it coffee), it really makes the Yanhuang people who are used to drinking tea frown. Of course, living in a post house is of course much more comfortable and safer than staying in a hotel, at least there will be no additional harassment, and as a person from the Eastern Continent who has come from so far away, the post house is also qualified to live, so Han Wenzheng and the others live in peace of mind.

Seeing that everything was settled, Viscount Fogelan said, "Your Excellency Captain Sun, our city lord has asked me to transfer a thousand to Your Excellency, and tonight, he will hold a banquet in the mansion to greet everyone, and I hope you can attend with a good face." "Your Excellency, we will definitely arrive on time, thank you, Lord Earl." "Very thankful, thank you very much for your Excellency's face, I will send someone to pick you up to the City Lord's Mansion tonight. I'll go back and report to the Earl. I won't stay any longer. "Lord Viscount has a task in his body, I dare not force him to stay, I have a small gift for Lord Viscount, please accept it, as for the gift to Lord Count, please also ask Lord Viscount to forward it on his behalf in a while." "What else can Sun Tiejian send out? Of course, it is porcelain and silk, and it is not worth a few dollars anyway (this is for the Yanhuang clan).

Viscount Fergulang was very happy to go to the City Lord's Mansion to report to the Earl, and he reported in the hall of the City Lord's Palace: "Lord Earl, they have been placed. "Very well, credit to you. About sixty years old, the kind-faced Count Marbony smiled and said, "I will report your merits to His Majesty the Emperor." "Count Marbernie was very happy to receive the gift.

Viscount Fogeland asked in a low voice: "Lord Earl, they are just ordinary merchants, it seems that they are not qualified to live in your hotel, right?" "Hehe, dear Fogel, my loyal subordinates, do you want to know the reason for the Dao?" "The subordinates are stupid and don't understand the reasons, but I know that the Lord must be right to do this, and as for the reasons, the subordinates do not think that they are qualified to know the Dao. "Viscount Ferguel is very acquainted, and he should not be resolute not to ask.

The Earl of Marberne was delighted, and reached out to pat Viscount Fogeland on the shoulder, and said, "Haluha, dear Fogel, of course you are qualified to know the Tao, you are my most loyal subordinate." My nephew Manov has reported to me that these men came from the far and fabled Eastern Continent, and that there were countless fine goods on board, worth enough to sell a St. Buluo Harbor, worth at least three hundred thousand gold coins, what an astonishing fortune, now, do you think?"

A greedy look flashed in Viscount Fogelan's eyes, he raised his right hand and slashed it on his neck, and once again lowered his voice and said, "Lord Earl, do you need me to do it?" Three tens of billions of gold coins is definitely a very amazing wealth, and it is human nature to be interested in wealth.

Count Marberney shook his head and said, "No." Fergel, this group of people we can't afford to mess with, if you want to live longer, don't mess with people we can't afford to mess with, money is good, but you also have to have a life to spend it. "Earl, are there any strong men among them? However, I have looked at them for a long time, and there is no strong man in them, and it stands to reason that the strong man should protect the captain's side, but there is no strong man by the side of Captain Sun. ”

Count Marbernie sighed and said, "Yes, I don't see any strong people, and my nephew can't see it, but he saw on that ship that those people were accompanied by one or two demonic beasts, and all of them were demonic beasts above the holy beast level, and besides, most of them were god-level demonic beasts, what do you think? ”

Fergelang's face changed color, of course he knew that those who could have a divine beast-level demonic beast as a demonic pet must also have a combat power of more than a god, otherwise, it would be impossible to subdue a divine beast-level demonic beast, which means that among those who came from the Eastern Continent, there were more than a hundred god-level powerhouses, and with more than a hundred god-level demonic beasts and more than two hundred god-level powerhouses, it would be easy to destroy the Holy Beast. No wonder Earl Marberney sighed and said those people couldn't be messed with.

Count Marberney said: "The other party can come from the East Continent to the West Continent, cross the sea, and travel more than 2 million kilometers, how many battles will he have to go through along the way? The East China Sea and the West Sea, not everyone can break through, think about it, can they provoke it?" Fergel woke up from the confusion of money, he suddenly broke out in a cold sweat, the other party can come here from the distant East Continent, how many tribulations do they have to go through along the way? Also, the two great sea clans of the East China Sea and the West Sea did not block each other's trips, and the terrifying deep-sea demonic beasts in the sea did not kill them, so it is conceivable that the strength of the other party can be imagined.

Count Marberney laughed again and said, "Actually, they can do business with us, think about it, how much tax do they have to pay for tens of billions of gold coins? How much is it worth for us to just receive gifts? Isn't that enough? Child, be careful, don't be too greedy, otherwise, you will kill yourself." Ferguson bowed to the Earl of Marberney and said, "Thank you, Lord Earl, for your teachings, I understand, and I am immensely grateful for your teachings for allowing me to see what lies ahead." "The sycophants clapped.

Once again, the Earl of Marberney stretched out his hand and patted Fergelant on the shoulder, and whispered, "My dear Fergel, money is sometimes very important, but we have already done a great deal of credit this time, and maybe I will be promoted to duke, and you will be promoted to marquis, won't we? ”

Fergelan thought about it and understood, it was already a great credit to be able to receive merchants from afar and earn a lot of money for the country, their Emperor His Majesty was very wise, and this time the credit would definitely allow them to rise to the next level, from this aspect, even if they didn't do anything, they would make a lot of money, not to mention that they also gave such expensive gifts, they really wanted to laugh in their dreams.

"Go, Fergel, go and invite all the nobles of the city to come to tonight's banquet on my behalf, and I will definitely make tonight's banquet the biggest banquet, so that all the nobles will know me, Count Marberney, do you know what to do?" "Very clear, Lord Earl, your order is my highest directive, and I will do it at once, but, Lord Earl, is there anything else I need to do?" "No, it will be a great accomplishment for you to be able to invite all the nobles. ”

(It's the New Year, I wish you all the best and all your wishes come true!)
