Power and Empire Chapter 1408: Suppression (2)
Holding the oil lamp covered with rain cloth, the port officer Avery stepped onto the merchant ship with a look of alcohol, and a wind with the musty smell of sea water blew his feet, and the merchant ship stopped suddenly. The team, made him this port officer a little surprised. The ship came too suddenly. In response to a possible military attack from the north, the Lord Marquis of Angus who ruled the Oacha area has declared a total ban on the sea and demanded all The port will report any abnormal situation at any time
As a small port officer, Avery has no way of knowing the reason. He can only judge based on what he has seen. The Marquis of Angus has recently been summoning mercenaries, training soldiers, and expanding the knights under his command. , And the solicitation of grain from the six subordinate regions.” It seems that there are signs of a big fight, but Avery doesn’t know who the target is.
Therefore, as soon as he received a call from an abnormal fleet, he immediately ordered the people to ring the alarm bell in the port and call the port guard of one hundred men, and only then cautiously embarked on the merchant ship. He took 20 capable men. Port guard, just in case, "Why did you get here? Don’t you know that the sea ban has been imposed recently?" He pretended to look around. The oil lamp can illuminate the range is very limited. The deck is very clean and can be seen at a glance. The bulge at the stern of the ship barely sees any cargo,
The captain cautiously accompanied his "big man" with a smile on his face. "My lord, we encountered a storm at sea. In order to reduce the load, we discarded most of the clean water and food, so we had no choice but to look for it. The adult’s port has been resupplied, and the adult can rest assured that we will pay the full amount one by one!" "Encountered a storm?" Avery rolled his eyes and sneered at the corner of his mouth. "I would rather discard the supply and clean water. If you don’t want to throw away a little cargo, you are really conscientious. "Yi shou chu chu chu ping ji cai delete huan chanting gu hua huang t shou ren éu see, have you encountered a storm of love for cleanliness?" Haha! "The port guards at the back are laughing together
"It was too messy. We cleaned it up a few times later." The captain's face was a bit embarrassed, and his hands were tense to wipe the sweat from his forehead. He was a middle-aged man in his forties. His face was a bit dark and his skin was in the sea breeze all year round. Blowing, there was a tinge of bronze, and he looked shrewd, but his gaze seemed too ferocious, "Is it? Is that really the case?" Avery looked around, and the sailors stood neatly. side. It seemed ordinary, but it was strange. The sailors' eyes were more or less avoiding themselves. He saw this situation often. There was no sea flag on the mast of the ship, and the sails were also stained. The other party’s clumsy concealment shows that this is a smuggling ship,
In the past, these smuggling fleets would stop at the inner bend of the Hales Brotherhood, fifty miles away. It is the only shallow shoal on the coastline that can escape the storm. It has always been controlled by the nearby Halis Brotherhood, and there are also rumors that the local Baron Lord. With the help of the Brotherhood, private taxes are collected from these smuggling fleets, because as long as they do not call at the port, there will be no records and no need to pay them.
This time I don’t know why, this team went on a private boat and missed the docking place. This is not a fat fish.
"Regular practice. I need to open a position to check"
Avery stopped and raised his eyebrows to the position of the cargo warehouse. Behind him, twenty of them were wearing pointed iron caps with white feathers stuck in them, and the port guards wearing breastplates stopped. "This!"
Captain's face suddenly turned pale, "Baidu ★ Meng Meng 桜 ★ text" white, the surrounding sailors also began to have some commotion, which made Avery more sure that the opponent is a group of smuggling ships, since the Normandy area has been caught by falcons. After the kingdom’s occupation, the number of smuggling fleets nearby has become more and more frequent. These smuggling fleets brought precious commodities across the sea, and then transported the items here, earning a lot of money, making Ai Freeh’s jealousy was in a mess. "What? Is there a problem?" Avery turned his head, his face was frosty, and asked in a more serious tone. Twenty port guards were very cooperative and pulled out the long swords at the waist.
"No, there is no problem at all, it's just something that won't make it to the table! I'm afraid that adults will laugh at you." The captain smirked, quietly handing Avery a fist-sized purse, and whispered, "Look, you can It can’t be convenient, as long as we buy the supplies, we will leave before dawn tomorrow, and we will definitely not leave any trouble for the adults."
"I can't tell, you are an interesting person!"
Port Officer Avery smiled, and he measured the weight of the purse with his right hand. The heavy presser should be a heavy gold coin. A smile appeared on his cold face just now." Whenever you encounter difficulties, it is our port officer’s responsibility to help the voyagers who have lost their way. However, you have seen a lot of people when you stop at this time, so you need to register anyway!" The recent investigation is very tight, if there is a follow-up question. Get up, I'm not easy to explain! "Avery stuffed the purse into his pocket and took out the ledger list of records," then temporarily register 100 boxes of Salander Sea Pearls! "After hesitating for a while, the captain said helplessly," 100 boxes of Salander Sea Pearls! "The quill in Avery's hand almost fell to the ground, the drunkenness on his face was swept away, and a pair of eyes almost bulged out. For this barren small harbor, this is definitely an unbelievable high-priced goods. A luxury product from another continent, it has almost swept the aristocratic world in northwestern Obaro in the past six months. It is called "Hilllins" (the gift of Poseidon).
This is mainly from the influence of fashion trends in Kyoto. It is rumored that Kyoto, where luxury goods are gathered, is the most famous tailoring master of the royal family, the beautiful and extraordinary Duke of Barara, there is one thing for this Salander Sea pearl. This kind of special love, she is used to using this crystal clear sea pearl that can glow in the sun to make amazing dresses,
Her design beyond the limit of life and advocating the style of casual matching, elegant, concise and convenient clothing, with colorful sea pearls as the finishing touch, liberating women from the shackles of traditional awkward sleeve skirts in the past ,
The clothes she tailored have been favored by all women, including the Queen Mother,
There is a proverb in Kyoto. In this prosperous capital of the empire, what else can be loved by three generations of a family: grandmother, mother, and granddaughter. That must be "Balara’s personal dictatorship." For women, Balala is a "classic", "a gift of eternal fashion and the ocean." It is also a dream of "romantic dream", which transcends the limit of age
Avery walked off the deck of the merchant ship almost in a trance, and even forgot to check his "harvest." The huge value represented by a hundred boxes of Salander Sea pearls made him depressed. The long greed rises again,
"This is just an unexpected windfall! Did you watch them slipping away like this?" The damp sea breeze blew on his hideous face, his eyes were bloodshot,
The smuggling ship "Baidu ★ Meng Meng 桜 ★ Text", even if it is processed, no one will be held accountable. In this sea area, sinking in a storm, it is normal, but such thoughts are like lightning. Over my mind
closed the record book in his hand, he turned around and glanced at the merchant ship parked in the dark, suddenly gritted his teeth, and whispered to a port guard behind him, "You go to the port and tell everyone, no one Can’t sell them food and fresh water. If anyone dares to violate my Master Avery’s will, I will let him get out of the port immediately! And gather all of us."
"My lord, Andako and Pi Sukai are still on vacation!" The guard hesitated on his face
"Emergency, call all together, do you understand every time you hear it!" Avery said viciously,
"Why..." The guard was taken aback by this order
"Don't worry about it, just do as I said!" Avery gritted his teeth, and the guard turned and left, "Let me prepare a horse, I'm going to Lord Lord!" Ai Freeh ordered the other guards, "During my departure, you should pay close attention to the movements of this merchant ship, and if they want to leave, immediately arrest everyone on it in the name of pirates! "It's ~IndoMTL.com ~My lord!" Hundreds of port guards responded...
The dark night, the sky is full of stars, and the cold moon is like throwing a light bó silver on the sea
The sea breeze shook the mast of the hull with a creaking sound. The sea water slapped on the side of the ship, undulating up and down, and the Falcon Empire Admiral Dusterenkai, standing on the deck of one of the dragon-class ships with his back, his hands behind his back.
is a group of huge masts standing like a forest,
The ferocious giant bows of the four dragon-class ships undulate up and down with the waves, and the giant hull obviously exceeds the other dragon-tooth warships around, just like four giant beasts crouching there, once Open it, and the beast will come out of the cage! "Commander, Bait No. 1 and No. 2 respectively sent back news of their successful arrival!"
lieutenant came hurriedly from behind, and handed him the two reports in his hands, spreading out the brief report with only the palm of the parchment, and a sneer appeared at the corner of Dusterenkai’s mouth. "Sure enough, greed is human. Nature, with such a huge temptation, even a saint will be tempted,
Two baits have successfully entered the two ports on the coast of Oacha, and now there is only a shortage of fish to bite the bait! "Commander, when shall we do it!" "The adjutant asked," Don't worry, in such a dark night, it must be beautiful if a firework is lit! "
Holding the intelligence in the palm of his hand, Dusterenkai smiled lightly, looking at the bright eyes of the scared person in the distance (to be continued) [This text is provided by the Qihang Update Team@v家丶千本桜] If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendations and monthly tickets.
