796 Blood of Winter (5)

Sokutus Delan stood in front of the windowsill on the fourth floor at No. 64 Ruiliyang Street, wearing a dark black dress, which made her more and more mysterious and seductive

The slender willow eyebrows, the dark and clear eyes, the straight nose bridge, the soft and full cherry lips, and the graceful and smooth cheeks, and the blown pink face, are just right to gather on the same light beauty, exuding an irresistible charming temperament;

Outside the window, it was drizzling, with a bit of coldness and indifference, and the white rain was fluttering in the wind, like a mist covering the surroundings of the castle.

This is a large and magnificent courtyard, with a 2-meter gate fence made of white iron, and a huge flowerbed full of flowers stretching from the delicately carved gate to the green field.

Two rows of well-trimmed short-legged evergreens are like tall sentinels, even in the cold winter, still leafy, verdant and vibrant.

The drizzle was hazy, rustling on the land of the flower garden, and with the extension of the line of sight, at the end of the green boulevard, was a quaint and chic, beautiful white castle, with four red castle circular spires pointing to the pale blue sky, connecting the outer wall of a pale white stone composed of large strips of pale white vines crawling with cyan vines,

When you see it, you will feel a quaint atmosphere blowing in your face, hundreds of delicately carved window frames, distributed on the walls of the castle according to four layers, like a pair of beautiful eyes staring at you

This is one of the most famous buildings in Rimir, and an extremely ambiguous name "White Rose" is as old as the city, and it makes people feel a faint pity, because this is the final destination of Princess Rimir, who is known for her amorous beauty.

It is here, in the back garden of the ancient castle, there is still a tomb without any marking, a handful of simple loess, burying a peerless face of ups and downs of the miserable life, the person who buried her at the beginning, in the consideration of the current situation, just temporarily planted eight mangroves around the tomb to vaguely hint at something,

Later, the owner of the castle quietly built a small white pavilion with beautiful decorations on top of the tomb to shelter this poor woman from the wind and rain. After hundreds of years, the beautiful canopy of the original eight mangrove trees has been practiced around the pavilion.

When the mangroves are in full bloom, the leaves that are rolled up in the wind are constantly swirling, like the swirling red dance skirt of a beautiful woman.

Just like in the autumn harvest in the Dorok Mountains, all the Dorok women will use the collected mangrove leaves to weave beautiful ornaments in the shape of long strips, and hang them on their red and colorful fluttering long skirts, so that these mangrove leaves can be transformed into a beautiful wind dance in the mountain breeze with their graceful posture

Beautiful things can never withstand the ravages of war, the falcon army entered the three northern counties strongly, the iron hooves of the Eastern Court cavalry ravaged the north, countless cities were burned, millions of people were displaced, the city of Rimir, which has never been a military stronghold, before the cruel war, anything that could not be taken away had no value at all, no matter how beautiful the building was under the flames, there was only one color, the color of scorched earth

Even this ancient castle with a minimum value of more than 300,000 gold coins, because of the war, was sold to the business alliance by the previous owner, the Bao Sidi family, almost at the price of 50,000 gold coins for selling cabbage.

It wasn't until the sword of war was shot outside the city of Rimir that it gradually became rejuvenated, and Ramil discovered that the Falcon Dynasty had no intention of attacking Rimir at all, and this strange and beautiful castle became a branch of the Business Alliance in Rimir.

This time, there are only two who will get the most benefits, one is the thirteenth deacon of the business alliance Sokutus Deran, who entered the business alliance with a large amount of money,...,

Under the secret order of the fat man to try his best to stabilize Dìng Rimir, Sokutus Delan took advantage of the great flight of the nobles in the city and bought 30% of the nobles' mansions and a large number of properties in the city for only a small amount of money, and firmly controlled the most valuable things in the city

The other person is the Marquis of Bai Condi, the leader of the underground forces in the city, this is a veteran figure of the local forces, although the Marquis of Bai Condi is an upper-class nobleman, but in hundreds of years, the Bai Condi family has been inextricably linked with the local underground forces.

This time, under the power imbalance caused by the large-scale flight of the upper nobles, the Marquis of Bocondi used all kinds of resources in his hands to control several major gangs in Remir, and also obtained a lot of benefits in this war, and made a windfall, although most of the industries they controlled were small and medium-sized industries, but the numerical advantage was enough for them to have the upper hand in the control of Remir City.

Now one-third of the economic lifeblood of the city of Rimil is in the hands of Socutustellan, and one-third is in the hands of the Marquis of Percondi,

The composition of the remaining third is more complicated, there are deacons of the business alliance who were added later, there are also investors who see an opportunity and want to make a profit, and there are some new businessmen who invest

This is a chaotic situation, when the new economic center is formed, under the calm water, early yijing is surging waves, whoever can control this new economic center, will undoubtedly become the uncrowned king of the northern merchant world of the mainland

"Miss, this is the list of people who have been arranged to meet this morning!" A female assistant, also wearing a black dress, walked in from outside the door with a list in her hand,

"There are a lot of people!"

Sokutus Delan was a little helpless to take over the list from the female assistant, xiangdao had to face so many requests, and couldn't help but feel a little upset, to be eligible to be received by herself, and to submit the letter of establishment, the youngest is also the person in charge of the business alliance in a certain region, is the real elite of the business world, and it is also the driving force for the rapid development of the business alliance

"What's going on"

Sokutus Delan's moon-like eyes looked at the names above, his gaze fixed on one of the names, and his crescent-like eyebrows frowned slightly,

"Pop" Sokutus Delan slammed the list in his hand on the table, pointed to one of the names, and asked in a crisp voice of displeasure

"Before the deacon's meeting, only twelve deacons and seventy-two district heads were met, what is the matter with this Marquis of Percondi?

The female assistant said helplessly, "Miss, I also know that this person is not qualified, but this person is jointly recommended by the two archdeacons Kang Lesuo and Asld, according to the rules of the business alliance, if you can get the recommendation of an archdeacon, you can skip the level and submit the proposal to the above, if it is two, you can attend the content of the meeting, this time it was recommended by the two archdeacons Kang Leso and Asld at the same time, so he is qualified to mention yì and attend the meeting!"

"Was it jointly recommended by Conleso and Asrd?" Sokutus Stellan snorted heavily when he heard the names of the two deacons heard by the female assistant

"Yes, this letter of recommendation was sent yesterday! I handed it in with the other papers!" The female assistant looked innocently through the mountains of letters on the table, and quickly found a letter of recommendation signed by two deacons, and it really had such content on it

Sokutus Delan's face darkened, and there was a vague feeling of lightning and thunder, "What do these two guys want to do? I endured the incident last time, and they really bullied me!"

"Yes, Miss, they went too far this time!" said the female assistant beside her, in fact, she was also beautiful, her slender figure was wearing a black gauze skirt, although she did not have Sokutus Delan to give people a stunning and inexplicable shock, but it also gave people a fresh and capable feeling, which had a unique flavor

Within the Business Alliance, everyone knew that the thirteenth deacon was at odds with the two archdeacons, Contortion, who was in charge of the grain trade, and Asrd, who was in charge of the iron ore trade.

These two trades are related to the people's livelihood and the army, so they have always been strictly controlled.

But with the Falcon Dynasty fighting in the north, more than 100,000 troops were in war for a long time, and the daily consumption of grain and a large amount of iron ore needed to forge weapons and arrows were all allocated by Guò Sokutus Delan, in the name of internal regulation of the commercial alliance.

Goods such as grain and iron ore, which are in high demand in any war-torn area, can be handsomely rewarded, and now this road has been cut off by Sokutus Delan, and the price that should have increased significantly has been strictly controlled because of this woman's intervention

Kang Lelu, who is in charge of the grain trade, and Asrd, who is in charge of the iron ore trade, will naturally regard Sokutustellan, the thirteenth person with great power, as a thorn in the side, a thorn in the flesh.

But the previous several temptations ended in no result, sending people to slander, and the slanderers were thrown into the stinky ditch, secretly arranging assassination, and as a result, the assassin was killed in the residence the day before the attack, which shocked most of the people with different intentions, in Vekia, there is nothing to do with Sokutus Delan, which has become the consensus of the top management of the business alliance, but this meeting in the three northern counties is undoubtedly a golden opportunity

From this list, Sokutus Delan smelled something unusual, this was a challenge among the deacons, and if she retreated, she would be looked down upon by the other deacons who were watching the fire from the other side.

The dominance is in his own hands, and he really doesn't have to be afraid of the small actions of these two guys, unless they can shake His Majesty's trust in him, otherwise, everything will be in vain!

"Anna Geline, just follow this list!" said Sokutus Delan to the female assistant waiting for a reply behind her, and then picked up the list from the table with a solemn expression, and gently placed it on the thick pile of almost a foot high behind her, "Your declaration of war, I will take it!"
