Looking out the window at the blue sea and the harbor full of sails, the Governor of the Eero Empire Basinla gently rotated the bronze-based nautical instrument with his fingers, and his gaze gradually condensed into a thin line, behind him, the servant of the Governor's Mansion handed over the list of chambers of commerce who agreed to participate in the banquet tonight with an ugly face,

"Solomon, Ali, Kuber, and the three major chambers of commerce of the empire are all absent, aren't they?" Governor Basinla did not take the list, but waved his hand with a gloomy face,

"The representatives of the three major chambers of commerce of the empire all said that they had important guests tonight, so they all politely declined our invitation" The servant's face turned a little pale, and his voice trembled slightly, and said, "I don't know if the three major chambers of commerce have taken the wrong medicine, how can I express it in the past, but this time, I won't even sell the face of an adult" "My face, what face do I have? The status of the three major chambers of commerce is transcendent, and there are even big people from all walks of life behind it, what is I a small regional governor!" The slightly gloomy corners of Governor Basinla's mouth smiled coldly, and his hand pressed heavily on the Wen Jiàn on the table, and said coldly

"I also just got the news, the military department recently interviewed the people of the three major chambers of commerce, and the prime minister specially instructed us to keep an eye on it, judging from the abnormality of the three major chambers of commerce, this news has arrived in Kailo Port, otherwise they will never react like this!"

"When the wind rises in the clouds, who knows if it will be a torrential rain that will bring the wet earth, or a hurricane that will destroy it?"

Basinla sighed, his eyes through the glass decorated with gorgeous patterns, the people who fell on the port, the sails were like forests, the goods were piled up like mountains, and the buoyant eyes revealed a rare warm color. How many people know how much they have secretly sacrificed

Although the Prime Minister did not reveal the content of the secret talks between the military department and the three major chambers of commerce, he more or less revealed a bit of a vague meaning in the words of the letter, the status of the three major chambers of commerce is transcendent, and they do not necessarily need to take into account the pressure of the regional governor, but they are also the direct managers of the largest foreign trade port in the empire, Kailo Port.

Behind him is the Imperial Prime Minister, and the tribute money secretly handed over from him every quarter supports half of the Prime Minister's expenses, and what is the difference between offending himself and offending the Prime Minister, don't the three major chambers of commerce know?

This was the precursor to the crisis that made Basinla feel the crisis

The majesty of the Governor still needs to be maintained. The Viceroy, who has been able to keep the Empire's largest port firmly in his hands for fifteen years, has maintained its prosperity and has stood tall among the coveted forces of all sides, and is more sensitive to the dangers before the storm.

He strongly invited the major chambers of commerce to come to the banquet tonight. Among them, there are not only the forces of the local Chamber of Commerce of Eero, but also the forces of the Falcon Empire Chamber of Commerce, which is rapidly rising, I hope that everyone can sit down and do their best to weaken the impact of this storm, but the attitude of the three major chambers of commerce has already explained that they are tense, and they are not even interested in sitting down and talking, and the businessmen are profitable. has always paid the most attention to compromise to make money, but this time, I am afraid that it is not just a compromise of interests!

That's when it happened. The voice of the guards sounded outside the door, "Lord Governor, the port sheriff Figo asks to see you" "Figo, let him in!" Basinla's face fluttered, Figo was the port sheriff and his own nephew, "Your Excellency, Figo reports to you" The voice sounded, and soon a heroic young officer in the uniform of the military attache of Hérault walked in and stopped. He straightened up and saluted Governor Basinla

"My sheriff, you still look so energetic. When did you come back?" said Basina, who walked over with a look of relief and happily patted the young officer on the shoulder. He said with a smile without mind, this is his own nephew, only twenty years old, he is already a formal student who has been reported to enter the Imperial Military Academy, and has just been promoted to the sixth rank of the Imperial Military Attaché, the Imperial Military Academy is known as the cradle of imperial generals, and it is the only way for imperial soldiers to enter middle-level officers from low-level officers,

For example, the port sheriff in the imperial capital is at the level of a general, and the sheriff of Port Kailo is a squadron leader, Figo wants to cross this hurdle, and it is the only way to enter the military academy, as a new talent in the family who is expected to be high, Ba Xinla is most optimistic about this nephew, thinking about spending ten years, with the strong financial resources of Port Kailo as support, and the care of the prime minister, he may not be able to step into the threshold of the general at the age of thirty, and the status of the imperial general is more promising than that of his own governor

"I received an order on the fly, so I rushed back!"

Fei Ge has a high-spirited demeanor, with short black hair, the military attache uniform on his body is neat and neat, and the cuffs and collar are depicted with blue silk edges

"Order?" Basinla's eyebrows furrowed together, he glanced at his nephew, and asked with some solemnity, "Is it an order from the military department?"

The corners of Fei Ge's mouth grinned slightly, his face showed a warmth, and he nodded excitedly, "It is indeed an order from the military department, mainly asking me to escort a batch of military supplies back from the port, but it is also happy to be able to complete the task and take the time to come back!"

Figo seemed to think of something, took out a letter from his bosom, handed it to Basinla, and said, "Oh, by the way, this is a letter from the military department!

Looking at the letter handed over by Fei Ge, Ba Xinla only smiled bitterly in his heart, Nima's military department, what kind of materials are coming to escort, they are simply endangering themselves, forcing themselves to make a statement, who doesn't know that they are the prime minister's people,

"Okay, I know! I'll let people arrange that batch of supplies as much as possible" Looking at the enthusiastic young sheriff with a sigh in his heart, Ba Xinla casually put the letter in his arms, the military department, the prime minister, and the three major chambers of commerce...... No matter how hard he tries, he can't stop the crushing of this huge wheel, and the military department asks Governor Basinla to fully assist the three major chambers of commerce in sweeping away the power of the Falcon Empire's chamber of commerce, and it is best to intensify the contradictions and eventually create an excuse in favor of the military department. Forget about dyeing yourself black, it shouldn't belong to a young man like Figo!Sending Figo away, Basinla waved to the servant, "Withdraw all the guards on the port side, from now on, no matter what happens to the port side." The Governor's Mansion should not intervene!"

The atmosphere in Port Kailo has always been a bit tense lately

There had been three or four skirmishes between the merchant alliance from the north and the three chambers of commerce of the Hérault from the south, over a share of trade and dockyards, and for this reason, the Doge's Palace had sent five hundred guards to the port to suppress the fluctuations in the port. and asked the two chambers of commerce to negotiate,

October 4th, evening

The Falcon Empire Business Alliance's representative Aksufu and the other seven people waited for the carriage parked outside, although the current situation was very tense. But under the suppression of the guards of the Governor's Palace, Aksufu and the others did not think that there would be any abnormal actions on the part of the Eero Chamber of Commerce, this invitation came from the Governor's Palace, more or less always to buy the face of Governor Basinla, although the strength of the Imperial Navy deterred the north and south coasts of the Inland Sea, but the naval fleet did not stop at the sea for many years, and it was necessary to have a good relationship with the region if the merchants really wanted to get their feet on their feet.

The governor of the region is unavoidable, not to mention that the attitude of this governor of Basinla towards the merchants of the empire is still very good. This time I personally came forward to mediate, no matter what the final result is, I still need to go there, and the moonlight is dim tonight. In the lonely and empty streets, the horse caravan drove unhurriedly, and the pleasant sound of the organ came from the noisy tavern. The wind with the smell of sea water was blowing in his face, and the more than twenty mercenaries who were guarding him looked around leisurely. The sound of horses' hooves mingling with ruts and the sound of tapping and tapping

A total of seven chambers of commerce attended the banquet this time, all of whom were the leading figures of the Imperial merchants in Cave Harbor. And now in Porto Kello, merchants and sailors from the empire account for more than half of it, and the guards don't think that the Eero people dare to do anything on this road, and the power of the local Chamber of Commerce in the port of Eiro is not strong, even if the three so-called chambers of commerce are added together, that is, the mobilization ability of two or three hundred people, and the Imperial Chamber of Commerce still gathers five or six hundred people as long as there is a greeting,

Aksufu, the head of the business alliance sitting in the carriage, was looking up from the window of the car comfortably, but what he saw was still the plane tree on the side of the street.

"What's going on, why did the car stop?" said Aksufo when he heard a rebuke from the head of the Morin Chamber of Commerce, and one of the guards ran to the carriage window, "It was the guards of the Governor's Palace who were strictly investigating smuggling. "Smuggling, what are you kidding!" Aksufu frowned slightly, when did the Governor's Mansion also start to investigate smuggling, isn't the biggest smuggler the Governor's Palace?

The other heads of the chamber of commerce also looked out of the car window curiously and whispered

The street ahead was full of lights, and there were indeed many figures wearing the uniforms of the guards of the Governor's Palace shaking with torches, and the sound came from the front, a freight carriage was stopped in the middle of the road, and some guards of the Governor's Palace were turning something on the carriage, "Let them hurry, we are going to the Governor's Palace!"

A person in charge of the Chamber of Commerce said impatiently, the captain of the guard rode his horse and ran forward, a cold wind blew, the plane trees on both sides of the street were blown loudly, a leaf floated leisurely in front of the window, falling in front of his eyes, suddenly, a sharp whistle pierced the silence of the night sky, and a lot of black shadows appeared on the roofs on both sides, "do it"

In the darkness, I don't know who shouted in the Hérault language, and there was a sudden shock! Countless figures jumped down from the houses on both sides, the cold light was dazzling, and countless short swords slammed into the guards near the carriage, and the guards and mercenaries were only wearing simple chain mail, and for a while, the sword was shining, blood was splashing, and the sharp blades slashed into the muscles and bones, and the exclamations and screams sounded intensively. "There is an assassin," one of the guards hurriedly drew his weapon and shouted, before he could finish speaking, several long swords stabbed into his body at the same time, blood gushing out and choking his throat. His body fell to the ground with a heavy blow, and the blood stained the ground scarlet. "It's the Hérael people!" the people in charge of the Chamber of Commerce in the carriage immediately reacted,

"Damn, you dare to kill the door, what are you waiting for, is it true that our imperial war knives are dull?"

The head of a chamber of commerce unequivocally took out his weapon from the car, which was a half-arc imperial war knife, shining with cold light and dazzling, at the several masked people who rushed towards him. Pumping the hand is a knife, the knife is so neat that people can't imagine what it has to do with the merchant, a masked man only felt a flower in front of him, and the big head flew out, and the ghost cried wolf and howled miserably. Everyone who heard it felt that the roots of their teeth were sore, and the sticky blood was splashing on the ground, and the others were a little frightened, but they hesitated for a moment, and the head of the caravan with a slightly lame leg had already completed the starting gesture of the knife like the moon, poof! poof! The knife dragged and flipped, and the cold light was bloody. Several people invariably clutched their throats and leaned back unwillingly,

"What's the situation? The Hero people who attacked were stupid, not only the lame man who didn't see blood, but also the other heads of the Chamber of Commerce who were not good at stubble, and all kinds of weapons were taken out. A burly strong man smiled evilly, and even dragged out a two-bladed heavy battle axe about two meters long directly from under the car, "Come on! Come on! Let's fly together in a circle!"

With a mouth full of strange screams, a whirlwind slashed out three Eero people, slammed into the crowd behind, rolled over, the smell of blood in the wind, and the sound of tragic fighting resounded through the long street. Under the light of the torches, the Hérault people were a little confused, is this bastard still human?" There are only a few of them, we are more than ten times more than them, even if we press them, we will crush them to death!" Bai Baolansu, the head of the Ali Chamber of Commerce, one of the three major chambers of commerce of Eero, was angry and jumped out hysterically, this sneak attack was originally a risky move, so the Ali Chamber of Commerce mobilized the forces that the entire port could mobilize. There were seventy-eight guards with certain skills, and more than thirty mercenaries were hired, led by Bai Baolansu, the head of the branch. In order to kill all the heads of the Falcon Empire Chamber of Commerce on this long street, since it has been decided to take action against the Falcon Empire's Chamber of Commerce forces. Then naturally I don't care about the result of turning my face, as long as all the heads of these chambers of commerce are killed, Kailuo Port will definitely be in chaos, and with a little wind and fire, what else can't happen, so that the Ali Chamber of Commerce can overwhelm other chambers of commerce in front of the military department, but he didn't expect that the other party would be so tough,

Where is this businessman, it is simply a group of killing gods who have just come down from the battlefield

You see that the big axe dances like a huge circle of light, it is really a blood surge when it hits, and there is an unguardable imperial crossbow arrow, the guard armor can't stop it at all, one arrow at a time, not to mention the imperial war knife that has hacked seven people to death, the more skillful it is, the more fierce it is, if it is still a little rusty at the beginning, now a knife is a few ships back to the fashionable Liang Na Coin, Yu Ying, the mantle, the neon sheath, the porcelain if the retreat is not owed, the entropy is sent to invade the value of Yin Jiecai, and the panic is panicked

It seems that just like a violent bear who has been enraged from a state of hibernation, the person in front of him is either flying with his hands and feet, or crawling backwards, if it weren't for the fact that the other party's feet are indeed a little lame, he really doubts that the other party will kill him in one breath, and then decapitate himself with a knife

, With such a delay, the caravan guards who were caught off guard at the beginning could be regarded as gasping, and there were still thirteen or fourteen of the twenty or so people left, and one by one they pulled out a handful of heavy soldiers from the carriage, and slashed at their own people, and that posture almost didn't make Bai Baolansu's eyes explode,

They don't know, because the port has been a little tense recently, just in case, the heads of each caravan have deliberately turned their own carriages into arsenals, all kinds of thick and thick battlefield heavy soldiers, the first and second generations of imperial crossbows that have been eliminated by the imperial military, and even some of their own private collections, imperial war knives, two-edged axes, and imperial cavalry short crossbows, and these heavy killing weapons that are only available on the real battlefield, the Eero people are here for easy to carry, and the three-foot short swords of all colors are weak

"Bai Bao Lan Su, it turned out to be you bastard!" The people in charge of the Falcon Imperial Chamber of Commerce on the opposite side also heard this guy's voice, all kinds of scolding, one of the strong men had a bare head on his head, and there was a scar about three centimeters long under the corner of his eye and jumped to the top of the carriage with one foot, I don't know where he copied out an Imperial Guards Cavalry Spear about three meters long with a triangular blood groove, and with a violent wave of his arm that was thicker than his thighs, the Guards Cavalry turned into a cold light and shot fiercely in the direction of Bai Bao Lan Su,

"Poof" the cavalry spear penetrated into the chest of a Hérault from the front, and even the corpse flew back three or four meters with blood, and then steadily inserted into the feet of Bai Bao Lan Su, less than half a meter away from Bai Bao Lan Su, the blood was like a squeezed tomato that blew up Bai Bao Lan Su's face was all over his face, and the head of the Ali Chamber of Commerce Branch was paralyzed on the ground with a pale face, and the crotch of his pants smelled, and the blood was splattered on it, I don't know if people thought that this guy was no longer a man

Nima, who the hell attacked whom!

It is said that the people of the Falcon Empire are fierce, but a group of businessmen also have such a look, and it makes people unable to live, Bai Baolansu doesn't know, among the leaders of these caravans he attacked, there are disabled Imperial Guard Squadron Captains, which are placed in the second line of the Imperial Flag Regiment and can also be given to the people who can serve as the flag commanders, there are the top six fierce men in the former Imperial King's Praetorian Guard, and there are scout captains who have retired from the elite cavalry of the Imperial Central Army, in the face of the sixty or seventy rabble under his command, it is simply a massacre!
