Chapter 55: The Black-Haired Man
"It's rare for my brother to come back, so there's no need for my father to be angry....."
Looking at Baron Kaisen, who had a dissatisfied look on his face and looked unhappy, Chen Heng smiled, and then said: "It's just right, we have been a little short of manpower here recently, and it's just the right time for my brother to come back." ”
"Hmph. ”
Baron Kaysen snorted coldly, but after listening to Chen Heng's words, he finally nodded.
In the end, it is his own child, no matter how bad he is on weekdays, he is his own son after all.
Now that Ormando has run out of the door, it doesn't seem appropriate to blast him out again.
And as Chen Heng said, recently, with the development of trade, they have also become extremely busy, and there are too few people on hand to help.
Ormando came back at this time, and it would be good if he could help.
Thinking of this, his face softened slightly, and he looked at White on the side: "Go, let him in." ”
"Yes. ”
White nodded, then turned around and walked out.
A moment later, with the sound of footsteps, Ormando walked in.
He was dressed in a black robe, and he looked tall and burly, but his figure was a little fat, and he looked a lot more bloated than a year ago.
Standing with Chen Heng, the gap in appearance is too obvious.
"You dare to come back. ”
Looking at Omando's appearance, Omando's face was suddenly full of coldness, and he looked at him and spoke coldly.
"Father. ”
Walking into the room, Ormando knelt down on one knee and looked extremely sincere: "It's been months since I left you, and I miss you so much." ”
"Please allow me to follow you and don't let me go. ”
His face was sincere, and he seemed to be sincere at this time.
Looking at his appearance, Baron Kaysen's face softened slightly.
"Get up. ”
He looked at Ormando and spoke, telling him to get up and stand aside.
"I won't mention the past for the time being. ”
He opened his mouth like this, and said lightly: "You came back just in time." ”
"Everybody's been busy lately, and it's better for you to come back and help than to stay in that place and drink. ”
"In a few days, set out with us, with your sword. ”
He looked at Ormando's bloated figure now, couldn't help frowning, and said so.
"Yes, father. ”
Ormando nodded repeatedly, looking sincere.
It was a moment before Baron Kaysen left.
Only Chen Heng and Omado were left in the same place.
"Brother. ”
Looking at Omando, Chen Heng showed a smile on his face, took the initiative to step forward, and said hello.
However, his initiative did not return in exchange.
In front of him, looking at Chen Heng, Ormando snorted coldly, didn't look back, and turned around and left directly.
Chen Heng's hand froze in mid-air, but he looked quite embarrassed.
"Young Master...."
On the side, the voice of the housekeeper White sounded, and he looked a little embarrassed: "How many masters are Auman, he ......?"
"It doesn't matter. ”
The smile on Chen Heng's face remained unchanged, and he silently withdrew his outstretched hand, just standing there, watching Omando's figure leave.
Secretly, he shook his head, then said hello to White and left.
A few days later, Baron Kayson's estate was busy.
Everywhere around, goods from the north were piled up, piling up the entire estate.
In the surrounding area, there are some people who look similar to ordinary people, but have thick black hair all over their bodies, working around, working hard.
"So many things ......"
Looking at the goods around him, Baron Kaysen couldn't help but sigh: "How did you transport these things?"
"Those lords, they will let you pass in peace. ”
As a nobleman himself, he clearly knows what those lords are.
Don't expect the noble lords of this world to be so well educated.
In fact, it is sometimes not an exaggeration to call these people robbers.
Ormando is an example of this.
Why was he reprimanded by Baron Kaysen before? Wasn't it because he led someone to loot a caravan belonging to a nearby lord?
And there are many, many of these things around, too many to count.
In fact, if the caravan belonged not to a nearby lord, but to an ordinary merchant, or a distant lord, Ormando would have nothing to do at all.
In these years, the transportation is inconvenient, there are many dangers in the outside world, and a caravan is just a robbery, and it is not a big deal at all.
Baron Kaysen himself has not done something like this.
This shows how much risk you have to take to do business in this area.
Therefore, in Baron Kaisen's opinion, it is simply an incredible thing that Chen Heng can bring such a large batch of goods here.
"Of course, it is impossible to go on land normally. ”
Regarding Baron Kaisen's exclamation, Chen Heng just smiled: "These things are all transported by ship.....
"Boat?"
Baron Kaysen was stunned for a moment, and he didn't expect it: "Ship..... Isn't there any danger?"
Of course, there are ships in this world, but the technology is not developed, and in the process of sailing, it is prone to various dangers.
Therefore, in Baron Kaisen's view, it is a very risky thing to transport by ship.
"As long as the boat is okay, it's actually not as difficult as imagined......"
Chen Heng opened his mouth to say a word, and did not specifically explain to Baron Kaisen.
Baron Kaysen nodded as if he didn't understand, and didn't ask any more questions.
"What about those black-haired people?"
Immediately afterwards, he looked at the black-haired man who was working hard in front of him and constantly carrying the goods, and couldn't help but speak with some curiosity.
"This is the black-haired tribe on the other side of the desert. ”
Chen Heng opened his mouth to explain: "It borders the desert in the north, and there are often wars, so many people are often captured and sold into slavery. ”
"These black-haired people are one of them. ”
"Compared with normal people, these black-haired people are cheaper and more hard-working, so I recruited a lot of them and took charge of them as laborers. ”
He explained softly.
These black-haired people were deliberately left by him.
In addition to various skins and specialties, there were also many slaves in the goods turned over by the lords of the north.
Many of these slaves were left behind by Chen Heng himself.
Most of the wealth he had earned in the city of Kutu had been consumed in this way.
As a traverser, Chen Heng knows better than anyone the importance of power.
And power can be divided into individual and collective.
Individually, as a knight, he has practiced the knight's breathing method and the body forging method, and he has done a good job.
As for the collective, it is to develop its own team
In this regard, he chose to make friends with the nobles in the city of Kutu on the one hand, and on the other hand, he also recruited slaves and tried to expand his own power.
