Power and Empire Chapter 1629: Black and White Kill (6)
1629 Black and White Killing (6)
Fatty rides on a black horse, with emerald mountain shrubs in front of him, and the sound of ruts rolling down the mountain road in his ears. The mountain road is narrow and the cavalry accompanying him can’t stand side by side. He can only change from two wing guards to front and back teams. , The carriage and the cavalry dragged a length of more than 200 meters on the winding mountain road,
The white clouds in the May sky are picturesque, pure and not stained with a trace of variegated colors, and the endless clear stream of the Pond’s mountains makes a ding-dong sound, like an intoxicating organ in the night, and various plants by the stream form heights. Scattered green bushes.
" Your Majesty Falcon, this is the rumored Kromdor Corridor! In front of a road that is about to lead into the mountain stream, the Duke of Dunkirk on his horse turned around and pointed to the mountain road ahead to introduce to the fat man Even an experienced caravan must be cautious when passing here, because the road is too steep, and most of the businessmen who have a family and business are not willing to take risks. They will choose the city of Kromdor in front of this road. Stop, and let the goods be unloaded directly here, so over a hundred years, this has created the most prosperous but also the most dangerous city in the Kingdom of Hundred-li! "
" Is it? "The fat man glanced across the steep mountain stream in front of him, frowning slightly, and the scenery is picturesque, but a vitally dangerous place is also true. If there is an army guarding the intersection, it is Several times the enemy will also be blocked here,
"For most areas covered by pine needles and cold climates, this is one of the few places where you can enjoy spring flowers and blooming flowers. Every spring, countless wealthy people come here. Come on vacation, appreciate the rare spring, and share the breath of life here." The Duke of Dunkirk's eyes flickered with a hint of intoxication, as if he was caught in a certain memory
" is indeed a beautiful place! But Lord Duke, how do I think you are so familiar with Sender?"
Fatty’s gaze was retracted from a distance, and he asked in surprise, the other party worked so hard to explain to himself the customs and customs along the way, where it was dangerous, where it was rich and what, like a few treasures, it almost made the fat guy think, this Dunke The Duke of Ernest is actually the Duke of Ruosende pretending to be
" Hehe, your Majesty has only been in the northwest for a few years, so everyone will have this kind of confusion." The Duke of Dunker looked in a good mood, he hesitated, and said, "Actually, my ancestor of the Principality of Dunkirk and the Principality of Sonder His ancestors were best friends and brothers when they split from the Northwest Barbarians. One was in the south and the other in the north, but they were married for several generations later. Strictly speaking, I, the Duke of Dunkirk, is still the former 偌森. The nephew of the Duke of Duke, because my mother was the sister of the former Duke of Sende. She was going through a civil turmoil at the time. To protect me, before going to the Duchy of Dunkirk to inherit the title at the age of sixteen, I was in the Duke of Duke. Get educated and grow up!"
"That's it!"
The fat man nodded. This time he wanted to use the Duke of Dunkirk to enter Ruosende. He directly pointed out the fact that Kyoto controls Ruosende to the Duke of Dunker. He thought that even if he would not be rejected, It is also inevitable to be embarrassed. Unexpectedly, after the Duke of Dunkirk's face turned pale, few of them directly agreed. Now it seems that if the Duke of Dunker is true, it is rare that he will be in harmony with himself. People, he wants to take Ruosende, and the Duke of Dunkirk obviously has a plan to avenge the former Duke Ruosende on his own.
"Of course not all rich people come for the scenery, Kromdor has another thing that attracts them deeply" The Duke of Dunkirk looked at the fat man's somewhat unexpected face, and the corners of his mouth suddenly smiled Laughing, fingers pointed at the grape racks exposed in the distant mountain basin. Speak slowly
"Your Majesty may not know that in the surrounding mountains, there are countless basins with a radius of only a few acres. The peculiarities of natural creation are best displayed here. This unique landform is in It was discovered by a traveler named La Paz more than 700 years ago, so he called this unique environment the terrain of La Paz. But this outstanding traveler would never have thought that his name would be because of it. And forever, this basin is the output of 30% of the economic income of the Ruosend Kingdom"
"No way, thirty percent! Are you sure?"
The fat man with eyes widened, looked at the grape racks in the mountains, and said, "Although the Principality of Rusende is not rich, it is definitely not poor. The amount of 30% is at least more than 500,000 gold coins. These seemingly inconspicuous but unremarkable grape racks can hold up to half a million? Just kidding, are these grape racks all gold?
"If your majesty promises me a question, I will tell your majesty the answer!" The Duke of Dunkirk narrowed his eyes into a line and deliberately bought a lock
" What’s the problem? If it’s the marriage that was mentioned last time, then forget it. If your man thinks his daughter is ugly, he can’t let me push him in the fire pit. I already have 10 wives, and one more. The lover of the pile! "The fat man bulged his eyes without showing weakness,
Since the relationship between the two is getting closer and closer, the previous gap has almost disappeared. Between the two monarchs, although the fat man is more powerful, the Duke of Dunkirk, who is a dozen years older than the fat man, always fights. As he grows older, he likes to make insignificant jokes, especially when he left Lengwei County yesterday, the Duke of Dunkirk once again proposed the marriage between the two countries and was rejected by the fat man on the spot.
Enough wives! Fatty also has a headache. Although I really hope that I can hold the beauty of the world in one hand, I also know that some people’s cheap daughters are not easy to marry.
"Don't worry, it has nothing to do with marriage!"
The Duke of Dunkirk laughed happily. In the past few days, he has discovered that this guy in front of him, after throwing away all the glory aura, is actually a very lazy and talkative guy. I really don’t know how this guy uses thousands. The army has brought out the huge Falcon Kingdom!
It is said that on the opposite side of the sea, the land of the Falcon Kingdom is almost twice the size of the entire northwest, with a military strength of up to 500,000. Such a powerful force is probably not inferior to the Gaul Empire, so it is no wonder that it can be used The posture of the barbarian invasion, in just one year, destroyed Normandy and annexed the four countries on the northwest coast. The southwest dared not even raise their heads. The captives of the Southwest Army who had been put back, talked about the Northwest Biye Valley, and talked about being hit by a snowy day. Forcing the road to be built, it was blood and tears in his eyes. If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, the Duke of Dunkirk would never believe it. It was the guy in front of him with a sense of silly and rascal, who smashed the entire northwest coast for thousands of miles in one breath. The land, more than 100,000 Northwest Allied forces were hunting for teeth on the ground, directly changing the pattern of the Northwest for a century.
"Then what is your problem? ‘I heard that it’s not a marriage, the fat guy was relieved immediately
" I’m just curious. His Majesty said he would sneak into the capital of Russender, but how do I feel that Your Majesty doesn’t seem to care about revealing his identity?" Duke Dunkel asked solemnly
"Oh? Why do you think that?" The whip that was gently swinging in the fat man's hand stopped, and his eyes suddenly became sharp and piercing, with an eccentric chill.
Under the fat man’s sight, the Duke of Dunkel trembled inwardly. I don’t know why, he always felt that the Vijay Falcon’s gaze could penetrate people’s hearts, but the words had already been spoken, so he had to bite the bullet. Courage said, "I'm just guessing. Your Majesty and I entered Lengwei County in the same car. No one should have noticed it. Even if someone finds suspicious, I won't let you think about it for the time being, but when you leave Lengwei County, your majesty will be grandiose. Mounted on the horse, the cavalry guards under your command also echoed back and forth, as if they didn’t care at all, they were being watched by how many pairs of secretly eyes,
" At this moment, as long as you are not blind or idiot, you will know that your Majesty is the only guard in this cavalry team who can walk side by side with his lord. "The voice of the Duke of Dunkirk stopped, and he said with a more serious tone." What's more, look at the whole In the northwest, apart from your majesty, which guard will have the king's wind that looks around like this, and there is no one else, this is also the best proof of your majesty's identity!"
"The wind of the king? Haha...the king of shit, don't use such words to perfuse me, I know you actually want to ask me, are you not afraid of revealing your identity and attracting the army of Rusend Kill, it would be a shame to be killed by someone like this"
A grim look flashed across Fatty’s face, hehe smiled." Actually, you don’t have to worry at all. As long as I haven’t stepped into the gate of the capital of Russender, they will continue to pretend to be stupid, acting like they don’t know anything. , So that my prey can hit me like a mosquito hangs on a spider web,
They just need to open the net and wait in front, why bother and startle the snake? They didn't kill me at that time. My **** turned back and they were crying! "
The Duke of Dunkirk feels that the fat man is like a rascal
Fatty doesn’t care about this. He looked into the distance, his voice stopped, and he said in a vertical and horizontal tone
" Do they really think that I am dignified by the Vickia Falcon and need to play that kind of little tricks, do they really dare not tell each other about their identity?
kidding! I didn't want to hide it, I deliberately let them see through, just let them smug in secret, otherwise, this game is not too fun! "
"What does your majesty mean?" The Duke of Dunkirk stayed on the horse. For the first time he heard that there are people who dare to play like this. This is simply bullying the enemy! , The Duke of Dunkirk suddenly felt that who is this fat man’s enemy is really sad!
The fat man smiled disapprovingly, "I did it on purpose to expose my identity. Their eyes are all on me, watching me step by step into their arrangement, it will definitely be very refreshing.
But they will never know that there may be tens of thousands of soldiers who are intent on fighting as I arrive under the capital of Ruosende!
In terms of time, my 60,000 troops have arrived in Lengwei County at this moment. It took a few days, even if they waited for them to react, it was too late! Since I dare to play Black and White Kill, I will never give them a chance to comeback! "
" It turns out that Your Majesty has long been... "The Duke of Dunkirk shuddered in the horse's body unknownly. He was speechless for a while, but his face was full of horrified respect.
is really terrible. He intended to remind the Vickia Falcon that the other party has seen through this plan. It is very likely that small actions such as an assassination will be arranged halfway. Thinking of the Viking Falcon with such courage and arrangement,
I entered the country alone, and I was so sure that the other party would clearly see through and would not do anything. One person was in the front, and tens of thousands of troops were behind. The other party knew it was a good idea and opened the door to let the Vickia Falcon step into the trap step by step. It is not safe to send the Vicia Falcon to his heart, one black and one white, and the other party automatically enters the trap in order to make the Vicia Falcon unaware. It must withdraw all the arrangements along the way, but did not expect to be in their line of sight. When focusing on the Vicia Falcon, where the Vicia Falcon has walked, the door to Ruosend has quietly opened.
A few days later, the tens of thousands of troops who are coming to the city will be enough to crush their self-righteous calculations!
"Forget it, don't talk about these boring things, you haven't told me how these grape racks bear gold!"
Fatty felt a little embarrassed and changed the subject from a new perspective.
The Duke of Dunkel turned back from his trance, knowing that the Vickia Falcon was stepping down for himself, and he realized that the fat man in his heart is actually quite pleasing to the eye. He smiled and said, "Your Majesty, don’t look at this. The soil is not fertile, almost a barren land, but this meager soil produces the best quality grapes in the world.
"This kind of grape is not sweet at all, it is sour and astringent, and the fruit is small, but it can make the famous Bochum wine"
"Bochum wine! You mean these grapes produce Bochum wine" The fat man looked at the grape shelf unexpectedly, his eyes lit up. He now knows why the Duke of Dunkirk said this, it is because of this. Bochum wine is too valuable,
The Bochum wine produced by sende is the best wine in the northwest. If it is sold to Kyoto in the Gaul Empire through a caravan, it will be a sky-high price.
That is the holy product in the minds of all drinkers who like this thing. Even the royal family of the Gaul Empire showed their extreme favor for this kind of wine.
For businessmen, Bochum wine is a symbol of wealth, a flowing gold, as long as a barrel is hundreds of dazzling gold coins,
Unfortunately, the output of this popular wine is also very low. The limited quantity is pitiful, and the annual output is less than 2,000 barrels."
"Half of them will be regarded as gifts dedicated to the empire, so less than half flowed into the outside, but only a thousand barrels, things are rare and expensive, especially some years of wine, that is even more precious, they are big Most of them became the treasures used by the wealthy people of Gaul and Kyoto to show off in the main hall of the banquet. "The Duke of Dunkel talked freely, with a bit of indulge in his eyes." In Kyoto, a family's heritage can even be derived from how much It can be seen from the top Bochum wine collection that even ordinary nobles can only drink second-class goods.
" But even so, it is impossible to enjoy such treatment in other places except Kromdor. The difficult roads and limited production have made this precious wine go to other places. An item that cannot be found, it is no wonder that this item will attract so many people, making it a luxurious place."
"Unfortunately, it's not the time now!" The fat man stared at the grape shelf where the green shoots had just emerged, and subconsciously licked his chapped lips, muttering to himself, just now he realized that there was a burst of vigorous jokes. It's already smoking in my throat,
" If your majesty doesn’t mind, I have a winery dedicated to Tibetan wine in Kromdor! "The Duke of Dunkirk has his mouth upturned, and his tone is quite proud. I suppressed my momentum, and now I finally get back a bit,
"Is this true?" The fat man has always been thick-skinned like a city wall, his unconscious eyes turned back, and he licked his lips and said, "I'm not afraid of your jokes. I've been here for two years in the northwest. Although I have heard about the famous Bochum wine for a long time, because it is too expensive and scarce, I have some, but they are not the top class. Most of them are sent back to the country and given to others, while the top Bochum bottle is hard to find. Even if there is, who is willing to take it out and drink it!"
" For a king like your Majesty, only the top Bochum is worthy! "The rare and seriousness of the Duke of Dunkirk" My winery is in Kromdor, and every year I send someone to buy it in Kromdor. A little bit of poor Bochum wine, except for some of them to drink, most of them will be given out as gifts, but there will always be a bottle of the best as a collection"
" At the age of sixteen, I left Ruosende. Thirty years have passed. The winery also has 29 bottles of the best Bochum wine. If you count the bottle in the Ducal Palace, it is exactly 30 bottles. "The Duke of Dunkel looked at the winding mountains and seemed to be muttering to himself "Thirty years, just like a dream"
is the beginning of summer in May, with countless blue, pink, tooth-yellow flowers dotted with it, giving it a unique charm.
The entire city of Kromdor is located beside a huge crescent-shaped mountain lake, lying peacefully in the core of the basin.
is surrounded by undulating hills and fields, which is a rare and dangerous place in the Rusend Basin. When the straight road reaches here, it becomes a winding and winding main road. It took 20 years to use it. A mountain trail that crosses the mountains built by more than 100,000 laborers,
passes through several mountainous areas, where there are bridges between valleys, staggering trails, and a backlog of thick leaves on the side of the road.
The horseshoe stepped on and made a backlog of creaking, crisp noises,
There is an asymmetrical and irregular building in the Shoufu of Cromdor County. It is high in the east and low in the west, just like a undulating mountain range. In this historic and peculiar building, all the layouts retain their original appearance hundreds of years ago.
The only difference is that in the inner courtyard of this building, a unique room is built. This room is always tightly guarded. Without the approval of the owner of that room, no one dare to step into this place without permission~IndoMTL.com~ There is no door, no window, no luxurious furnishings, except for two ordinary long-backed stools. Only the long table in the center,
At one end of the long table, there is a row of wine racks. The county guard Korrain sits next to the wine rack and puts down the secret report he just received.
The most prominent officials stood on the opposite side tremblingly. They didn't even dare to show up.
Although these people are usually famous in front of everyone, when they arrive at this place, they all feel the anger of the county guard,
They also heard some rumors that the capital demanded that merchants be restricted everywhere. Didn’t this kill the people of Kromdor?
There is no merchant to transport, and the Bochum wine equivalent to gold outside is a pile of worthless fermented products
"What do you think of the capital's order?"
County Guard Kerien glanced across the faces of several officials. He had actually made a calculation in his heart. He had just received a very unexpected and shocking news. This time he was inside the motorcade with the Duke of Dunkirk. , One of them may be the Vekia Falcon! , I felt my heart trembling when I thought of this Kryen, the most powerful monarch in the Northwest came to his own territory! This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for the Kerui family! If the big tree Ruosende has rotted from its roots, why don't you look for a bigger tree that is stronger.
