Power and Empire Chapter 2176: Mainland Public Enemy (4)

Looking at the blue sky outside the window and the harbor with many sails, Governor Bashinla of the Eero Empire gently turned his fingers on the bronze base of the navigator, his eyes gradually condensed into a thin line, behind him, The servant of the Governor’s Mansion with an ugly face handed over the list of chambers of commerce that had promised to attend the banquet tonight,

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

"The representatives of the three major chambers of commerce said that they had important guests tonight, so they declined our invitation." The servant's face was a little pale, and his voice trembled and said, "I don't know what medicine the three major chambers of commerce took wrong. How can I say it, but this time, I won’t even sell the adult’s face"

"My face, what kind of face do I have? The three major chambers of commerce have a transcendent status, and there are big figures behind them. What is my small district governor!" Governor Bashinla smiled coldly at the slightly gloomy corners of his mouth. He pressed his hand heavily on the document on the table and said coldly

"I also just got news. The military department recently interviewed people from the three major chambers of commerce. The Prime Minister specially asked us to keep an eye on it. Judging from the abnormality of the three major chambers of commerce, the news has reached Port Kailo, otherwise They would never react like this!"

"The wind is blowing up the clouds, who knows whether it is a torrential rain that brings wet land or a hurricane that destroys everything?"

Basinla sighed, looking through the glass decorated with ornate patterns, people coming and going on the port, the sails are like forests, the cargo piles are like mountains, and there is a rare warmth in the floating eyes. , Kailuo Port, I have invested 15 years of hard work, prosperous. How many people know how much they have sacrificed secretly

Although the Prime Minister did not disclose the content of the secret talks between the military department and the three major chambers of commerce, the words of the letter revealed more or less a little meaning. The status of the three major chambers of commerce is not false and does not necessarily need to take into account the regional governors. However, he is the direct manager of Kailuo Port, the largest foreign trade port in the empire.

Behind me is the Imperial Prime Minister. The tribute paid secretly from him every quarter supports one-half of the expenses of the Prime Minister. What is the difference between offending myself and offending the Prime Minister? The Chamber of Commerce does not know?

This is the precursor to the crisis that made Baxinla feel

The majesty of the Governor still needs to be maintained. The governor, who can hold the largest port of the empire firmly in control for fifteen years, maintain its prosperity and stand firm among the greedy forces of all parties, is more sensitive to the danger before the storm,

He strongly invites major chambers of commerce to come to a banquet tonight. Among them, there is not only the power of the local chamber of commerce in Eero, but also the power of the Falcon Empire Chamber of Commerce, which is rapidly rising. It is hoped 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 shown. After everything was done, the sword was tense, and even the interest in sitting down and talking was lost, and the businessman made great profits. It has always been the most important thing to make money through compromise, but this time, I am afraid that it is not just a simple compromise of interests!

Just then. The voice of the guard rang outside the door, "Your Excellency, Port Sheriff Feige begs to see you"

"Fago? Let him in!" Baxinla's face was shocked. Figo is the port sheriff and his nephew,

"Your Excellency! Figo reports to you." The voice sounded, and soon a heroic young officer in the uniform of the Eero military officer walked in and stopped. Li stood at attention and saluted Governor Bashinla.

"My sheriff still looks so energetic. When did you come back?" Baxinla walked over with a gratified expression, and happily patted the young officer on the shoulder. He joked without mind, this is his own nephew. He is only twenty years old. He is already an official academic officer who has been reported to enter the Imperial Academy. He has just been promoted to the sixth rank of the Imperial Military Attaché. The Imperial Academy is called the Imperial General. The cradle of the emperor is the only way for the emperor to go from the low-level officers to the middle-level officers,

The position of the port sheriff is big or small. For example, the port sheriff in the imperial capital is at the general level, while the port sheriff in Port Kello is a squadron leader. After passing this hurdle, entering the Military Academy is the only way to go. As a newcomer in the family with high hopes, Baxinla's most optimistic is this nephew. He plans to spend ten years and has the abundant financial resources of Kailuo Port. Support, with the help of the Prime Minister, you may not be able to step into the threshold of a general at the age of 30. The status of an imperial general can be more promising than his own governor

"I received an order temporarily, so I rushed back!"

Fago has a high-spirited look. He has thick black hair and a neat military officer's uniform. The cuffs and collar are painted with blue silk edges. He looks heroic and majestic. There is a youthful breath coming over his face. The haze just now has been swept away a lot

"Order?" Baxinla's eyebrows were tightly clenched, he glanced at his nephew, and asked solemnly, "Is it an order from the military?"

Fago grinned slightly, his face showed enthusiasm, and he nodded excitedly. "It is indeed the order of the military department. The main reason is to ask me to **** a batch of military supplies back from the port, but I can complete the task again. It’s so nice to be able to make time to come back!"

Feige seemed to have thought of something, took out a letter from his arms, handed it to Baxinla, and said, "Oh, yes, this is a letter from the military department! This mission is still needed. Uncle’s help"

Looking at the letter Feige handed over, Baxinla had only a wry smile in his heart, Nima’s military department, this is what kind of supplies are coming to escort, and it is simply dangerous and forcing himself to express his attitude, who doesn’t know I am the prime minister,

"Okay, I see! I'll let someone arrange the supplies as soon as possible." With a sigh in his heart, he looked at the passionate young sheriff, and Baxinla took the letter into his arms. , Prime Minister, the three major chambers of commerce. . . . . What does it mean to be a little governor in the middle? No matter how hard it is, it cannot stop the crushing of this huge wheel. The military department requires Governor Bashinla to assist the three major chambers of commerce in sweeping the Falcon Empire’s chambers of commerce. It is best to intensify the contradictions and ultimately result in the benefit of the military. An excuse, to put it bluntly, is just one sentence, the military wants to see blood, this kind of thing full of conspiracy. Even if you get dark, you shouldn't belong to a young man like Feige! After Figo was sent away, Baxinla waved his hand to the servant "Retreat all the guards from the port. From now on, no matter what happens in the port. The governor's palace should not interfere!"

Port Kailuo, the atmosphere recently has been a bit tense.

Three or four small-scale disputes have erupted between the business alliance from the north and the three major chambers of commerce in Eero, which are affiliated to the south, in order to compete for trade shares and dock docking. For this reason, the Governor’s Office sent five hundred to the port. Human guards can withstand the fluctuations in the port. And ask the two chambers of commerce to negotiate,

October 4th, evening

The representative of the Falcon Empire Business Alliance Aksufu and other seven people waited for the carriage parked outside, although the current situation is very tense. However, under the suppression of the guards of the Governor’s Palace, Aksufu and others did not think that the Eero Chamber of Commerce would do anything unusual. This time the invitation came from the Governor’s Palace. It was more or less always to buy Governor Basinra’s face, although the Imperial Navy The strong deterrence of the Inner Sea along the north and south coasts, but the naval fleet does not stop on the sea for many years. To really get the merchants to get their feet, they still need to establish a good relationship with the region.

The regional governor is an unavoidable existence, not to mention the attitude of the governor of Bashinla towards the imperial merchants is still very good. This time I personally intervened. No matter what the final result, I still need to go there. The moonlight is dim tonight. In the lonely and empty street, the horse team drove unhurriedly, and the melodious organ sound came from the noisy tavern. With the sea-scented wind blowing on the face, the more than 20 mercenaries guarding them looked around in a leisurely manner. The sound of horseshoes mixed with the sound of rutting kicks and pedals

There are a total of seven chambers of commerce participating in this banquet, all of which are the leading figures of the imperial merchants in Port Kellogg. In Port Kailo, merchants and sailors from the empire accounted for more than half. The guards didn’t think the Eero dared to do anything on this road, and the local Chamber of Commerce in Kailo had no influence. If it is not strong, even if the three so-called chambers of commerce are added together, that is, the mobilization ability of two to three hundred people, and the imperial chamber of commerce only needs one greeting, five to six hundred people are still gathered,

The head of the business alliance, Aksufu, who was sitting in the carriage, was comfortably looking up from the window of the car, but he saw the plane trees on the street, screaming! "The car stopped slowly.

"What's the matter? Why did the car stop?" Aksufu heard the scolding from the head of the Moline Chamber of Commerce, and a guard ran to the carriage window, "Said, it is the guard of the Governor's House that is investigating smuggling."

"Smuggling? What a joke!" Aksufu frowned slightly. When did the Governor's Mansion begin to investigate smuggling? Isn't the Governor's Mansion the biggest smuggler? It is said that two-thirds of the smuggled goods from the north have entered the warehouse of the Governor’s Mansion.

Other heads of the chamber of commerce also curiously looked out of the car window and talked in a low voice.

The street in front of the street was shining with lights, and there were indeed many figures wearing the uniforms of the Governor’s House guards shaking with torches. The sound came from the front. A freight carriage was blocked in the middle of the road, and there were some Governors. What is the palace guard turning over the carriage,

"Let them hurry up, we are going to the Governor's Mansion!"

A person in charge of the chamber of commerce said impatiently, the captain of the guard rode forward and ran forward, a cold wind blew by, the plane trees on both sides of the street were rustling, and a leaf floated by the window. Falling in front of my eyes, suddenly, a sharp whistle pierced the silence of the night sky, and a lot of dark shadows appeared on the roofs on both sides,

"Hands on"

In the darkness, I don't know who yelled in Erot, and the panic happened suddenly! Countless figures jumped down from the houses on both sides, the cold light was dazzling, countless daggers slammed into the guards near the carriage, and the guard mercenaries only wore simple mail armor. For a time, the swords were shiny and bloody. Splashing, the sharp blade slashed into the harsh sound of muscles and bones, exclaiming and screaming intensively sounded.

"There is an assassin." A guard hurriedly drew out his weapon and shouted loudly. Before he could say anything, several long swords smashed into his body at the same time, and blood poured out and choked his throat. His body fell heavily to the ground, and the blood from the big pool stained the ground scarlet.

"It's an Eero!" The people in charge of the Chamber of Commerce in the carriage reacted immediately,

"Damn, I dared to come here, so what are you waiting for, is it true that our empire's swords are blunt?"

A person in charge of a chamber of commerce unambiguously found his weapon from the car, it was a half-arc Imperial sword, dazzling with cold light, facing several masked faces rushing towards him people. A hand is a stab, and the knife is so neat that it is completely impossible to imagine what it has to do with the businessman. A masked man only felt a flower in front of him, and the head of the fighting man flew out, the ghost crying wolf howling miserably. Everyone who heard it felt that the roots of the tooth were sour, and the sticky blood was dripping on the ground; the other people were a little frightened, but hesitated for a while. This caravan leader with a lame leg had already finished his sword-like bend. Start-up style, puff! puff! puff! The knife drags and flips, cold and bloody. Several people held their throats unwillingly and leaned back.

"What's the situation? The Ero people who attacked are all stupid, not only the lame man who went into the bloodlessly, but the other heads of the chamber of commerce are not good, and all kinds of weapons are taken out. A burly body The brawny man smiled grimly, and even dragged out a two-edged heavy battle axe about two meters long from under the car.

"Come! Come! Come! Let's go around and fly together!"

With a mouthful of strange screams, a whirlwind slashed out three Erotians, slammed into the crowd behind them, and rolled over. There was a smell of blood in the wind, and the violent fighting sounded through the long street. Under the light of the torch, the Eero was a little confused, is this **** still a human?

"What are they doing? They are just a few people. We are more than ten times theirs. Even if we press, we will kill them!" Bai Baolansu, the head of the Ali Chamber of Commerce, one of the three major chambers of commerce in Eero, was furious. He jumped out hysterically. This sneak attack was originally a dangerous move. For this reason, the Ali Chamber of Commerce mobilized the power that the entire port could mobilize. Seventy-eight well-equipped guards also hired more than 30 mercenaries, led by the head of the branch, Bai Baolansu. The purpose is to kill all the leaders of the Falcon Empire Chamber of Commerce on this long street, since it has been decided to act on the forces of the Chamber of Commerce of the Falcon Empire. Then naturally you don’t care about the outcome of the turn of the face. As long as you kill all the people in charge of these chambers of commerce, Kailuo Port will definitely be messed up. With a little bit of air and light, there is nothing impossible to happen, so that the Ali Chamber of Commerce can be in the military. He pressed the other chamber of commerce in front of him, but he never expected that the other party would be so sturdy after he was killed.

Where are the merchants, they are simply a group of murderers who have just walked off the battlefield

You see that the big axe dances like a huge aperture, it is really hit by blood, and the imperial crossbow arrows that are indefensible. The armor of the guard can't stop it, one arrow, let alone that already The imperial sword that hacked seven people to death became more skillful and sturdier. If it was a little unfamiliar at first, now with a single stroke, it will give people a fierce killing intent. What kind of businessman is this? It’s a swordsman who can be placed in the top ten in a place like the capital,

It seems to be like a raging bear from hibernation. The person in front of him is either smashed with his hands and feet flying around, or crawling backwards. If it’s not that the opponent’s feet are indeed a little lame, he I really doubt that the other party will kill myself in one breath, and then behead myself with a single knife

With such a delay, the caravan **** who was beaten unprepared at first can be considered to be panting. There are still 13 or 4 of the more than 20 people left, one by one, pulling out a handful from the carriage. Heavy soldiers, it was a slash at the person facing him, that posture almost didn't make the eyes of Bai Baolansu's people burst,

They don’t know, because the port has been a little nervous recently. Just in case, the leaders of each caravan deliberately turned their wagons into an arsenal of weapons. The first and second generations of imperial crossbows that have been eliminated, there are even some personal collections of each person, imperial war knives, two-edged sharp axes, and imperial cavalry short crossbows, and these heavy killers that are only available on the real battlefield. For the Luo people here, for the convenience of carrying, all three-foot daggers seem weak

"Baibaolansu~IndoMTL.com~It turned out to be you bastard!" The people in charge of the Falcon Empire Chamber of Commerce on the opposite side also heard the voice of this guy, various national curses, and one of the strong men had a bare head with the corners of his eyes. There is a scar about three centimeters long and jumped to the top of the carriage with one foot. I don’t know where to copy an imperial guard riding lance about three meters long with a triangular blood trough. It is stronger than an arm that is thicker than a thigh. With a wave, the guard cavalry turned into a cold light and shot in the direction of Bai Baolansu,

"Puff" lance penetrated into the chest of an Eero from the front, and the corpse flew back three or four meters with blood, and then steadily inserted into Bai Baolansu's feet, within a distance of Baibaolansu Half a meter, the blood blew up Babao Lansu like a squeezed tomato, and his entire face was frightened. The head of the Ali Chamber of Commerce branch was pale and slumped on the ground. There was a sorrow in the crotch and blood was splashed. Shot on top, I don’t know anyone thought this guy is no longer a man.

Nima, who on earth attacked whom! Bai Baolansu is almost crying

It is said that the Falcon Empire’s people are sturdy, but a group of businessmen also have such a performance, and they still make people unable to live. Bai Baolansu didn’t know that among the caravan leaders he attacked, there was an empire that had retired with disabilities. The guard squadron captain, who can also serve as the captain of the second-line flag regiment of the Empire. There are the top six fierce men of the former King of the Imperial Guards, and the scout captain of the Imperial Central Army cavalry who has retired. In the face of the sixty to seventy mobs under his command, it was simply a massacre! (To be continued)
