Power and Empire Chapter 3367: The dead line of escape (17)
The early morning breeze blows in from the window facing the port, standing on the balcony watching the dense merchant ships coming and going in the Teikyo Port, the white water birds ups and downs in the distance, everything looks so beautiful and calm , Such a beautiful capital was actually the Imperial Capital of the Northern Empire where soldiers were rampaging at Obaro. It was really ironic to say that the sound of the report after he came to himself interrupted the mumbling of the special envoy of the Kingdom of Karisu, Biharisu.
"My lord, Prince Suge, the special envoy of the Harvey Kingdom, asked my lord to come over, saying that there is an urgent matter to discuss" the servant said cautiously. Biharisu explained that if it is not particularly important, he will all reject it.
"Is it an emergency again? It has been an emergency for eleven consecutive days. If it is still difficult to decide which trader's invitation banquet is going to tonight, then say I went to the port to see the scenery."
Bihasuri dressed in a black dress and turned around with a slightly mocking face. This trip to the capital with Bihasuri was a crucial step for the rise of the kingdom of Karisu, the other three countries Coming to Teikyo is more out of the consideration of humiliating the empire, so the attitudes of the two are completely different. Bihasuri does not hesitate to sit in Teikyo Port in person and wait. He pays attention to the news of Teikyo Port every day, hoping to receive it as soon as possible. The news of the victory in the south, and the special envoys of the Kingdom of Harvey, the Kingdom of Martin Liya, and the Kingdom of Ikar obviously prefer to stay in the center of the bustling Imperial Capital and accept invitations from the major chambers of commerce in the empire.
Anyway, it doesn’t have much to do with my own country. It’s rare to come to the capital of the northern empire which is the most prosperous on this continent. Naturally, the Three Kingdoms envoys are drunk every day and are overwhelmed with the banquets of the Chamber of Commerce. I remember the war in the south." Anyway, the goal has been achieved. The high-level empire has been completely attracted by us. Why do we need to worry about such a distant matter? Even if we are really worried, what is the point!" Three days ago, Prince Suge, the special envoy of the Harvey Kingdom. His face was slapped on the shoulder of Bihasuri with a serious look. Although Bihasuri has a smile at the corners of his mouth, his brows have been twisted together
The game of national fortune, life and death, with killing to deter the imperial cavalry of the world, may at any time march towards the Kallithu Kingdom like a sea tide, he has more thoughts than Hassuri to attend a banquet! The Empire’s annual meeting has entered the last ten days, that is to say, the time given to the Karisu Kingdom is running out. According to the imperial military’s message transmission channel, Biharisu believes that the Karisu Kingdom will raid the southern Fezer vassals. The news should have been sent to the emperor's desk at this moment. How would that military **** emperor respond? When will the imperial cavalry go south? Now I can only hope that the sudden emergence of the Central European and Baro countries to demand the return of the port can hold the empire for a while, but even so, the empire’s seemingly calm performance is probably also fangs! This battle will lay the development opportunities for the Karisu Kingdom for at least 30 years. How dare he be more sloppy than Hassuri!
"My lord, it is not a banquet invitation. It is said to be about the price of food in the Imperial Capital", the servant said hesitantly
"Imperial Capital Food Price?"
Bihasuri looked slightly surprised, and came down to the front hall under the guidance of the servants. He saw a young officer with blond hair waiting. It was the adjutant of Prince Suge, the special envoy of the Kingdom of Harvey, although Prince Suge's style was floating. , But the adjutant is still very important. It is said that he is also a member of the royal family. When he sees this adjutant, Bihasuri's heart bursts, the emperor's grain price. . . . . Isn't there a problem?
"I'm very sorry, I disturbed your good mood to watch the Imperial Palace, but the price of Imperial Palace's food suddenly tripled and the situation got out of control. Please also Mr. Bihasuri to go to the 17th Gelin Middle Road to discuss" the young adjutant Standing at attention, he said with a serious expression that No. 17 Gelin Middle Road is the temporary residence of the Southern Four Nations Alliance in Imperial Capital.
"Okay, I'll leave with a change of clothes." When Bihasuri heard that the price of food in the Imperial Capital had risen three times, his face changed immediately, nodded, changed his clothes in a hurry, and followed the adjutant to leave the villa. Go to No. 17, Gelin Middle Road, walk up to the carriage waiting at the door, and follow the carriage past the Imperial Trade Hall. This is a huge and spacious building
Like the emperor with the ambition of annexing the entire continent, the door is engraved with a huge statue of Libra, like a grinning behemoth. Tens of millions of materials and wealth flow in and out from here. In the eyes of the imperial merchants, this is the smell of gold, but in the eyes of Biharisu, this is the land of killing
The expansion of the imperial merchants is definitely not weaker than the imperial soldiers by the first half, and it can even be said to be stronger
The influence of the imperial merchants, like an invisible knife, has penetrated deeply into southern Europe, just like the Southern Four Nations Alliance, which can resist the imperial army's southward movement, but it will still come during the imperial annual meeting. The imperial merchants' conquest of the Obaro region has penetrated into all aspects of the country, just like the imperial capital buying merchandise. The imperial trading halls play a role in it, and they are not at all inferior to the military fortresses stationed in the imperial trade halls. Every gold coin inside makes this northern empire stronger and its enemies even weaker. Every transaction card here turns into a sharp sword for the empire to conquer the world!
Bihasuri regained his gaze from the large price tag hanging outside the trade hall, turned his head and asked in a condensed voice, "How could the price of food in the Imperial Capital suddenly triple? When did it happen? I was there yesterday. Paying attention to the trade hall, it seems that I have not seen such a situation."
"I am not very clear. Just an hour ago, the eyeliner we arranged in the Imperial Trade Hall suddenly ran back and said that the price of food in Imperial Capital had suddenly risen three times. I also went to the trade hall to confirm the matter, no Knowing why, the price of food in the Imperial Capital has tripled, and now the whole Imperial Capital is boiling. "The adjutant also said that the incident happened suddenly, it seems like it was overnight, and the price was still normal last night, and the food in God Jing increased collectively. ""
His Royal Highness Prince Suge is going crazy. This time he is coming to the Imperial Capital to buy food. The most important task of his Highness is to buy food. The war is about to come. Grain is the most important strategic material. In South Oubaro, it was because of the big production in the past. The northern part of the Eero and the northern part of the sect of the grain field have successively reduced their food production due to the war. This year's food has been very tight. Buying food from the empire is very important for the Kingdom of Harvey!
The previous four-nation alliance bought the food from the Imperial Capital in one hand, and then released a large amount of it. I thought it would at least cause the price of the Imperial Capital to drop, and then it could make a fortune, but it was intercepted by the princess. The grain of millions of imperial gold, although it caused fluctuations, did not achieve the desired effect. In the end, Bihasuri paid attention and deliberately pretended not to care about the grain of the imperial capital
Only in the last few days, when the Teijing grain merchants who were hoarding a large amount of grain in their hands began to sell the grain before the end of the New Year's Eve, they began to sell at low prices. At that time, they would sweep the Teijing grain market with their abundant funds. When the upper echelons of the empire reacted, the Four Kingdoms were already laden with food and returned home!
In thought, the carriage drove into No.17 Green Middle Road. When the carriage stopped, Bihasuri took a deep breath and got out of the carriage, led by the adjutant to the meeting room on the second floor, and a servant pushed it away for him. At the door of the meeting room, ten large candles illuminate the entire meeting room. In the meeting room, Bihasuri saw Prince Slogan, special envoy of the Kingdom of Ikar, Duke Sukhva, special envoy of the Kingdom of Martin Liya, had arrived before him, plus Prince Suge, special envoy of the Kingdom of Harvey, and the three were discussing something. Even seeing Bihasuri come in, he didn't greet him. This extremely depressing atmosphere gave Bihasuri an ominous premonition.
'"I was really killed by you. The food I bought earlier is so good, but I want to let it go. Now that it's good, the price of food in the Imperial Capital has suddenly increased by three times!"
"If we hadn’t loaned Central Europe nearly three million imperial gold, we could barely buy some of the grain, but now, I’m afraid we can’t buy even the most basic grain quota, Central Europe’s people Wouldn't it be the United Empire to cheat us!"
"Okay, that's the end of the matter, it's better to discuss what to do." Prince Suge, the special envoy of the Harvey Kingdom, raised his head and gave Bihasuri a meaningful look. "Now I can only hope that this is a temporary change in the empire. Who would have thought that this kind of thing happened at this moment! If it was just an accident, then forget it"
Prince Su Ge's voice paused, and he said hoarsely, "But if this is the handwriting of the imperial emperor, then it will be troublesome. The military **** emperor who has always been the number one in the world will definitely not be promoted for no reason. The price of food in the Imperial Capital, and still at this time! Just like our arrogance in the Imperial Capital, just to cover up the southern battle thousands of miles away, who dares to say that the military **** emperor suddenly raised the price of food, it was not for Southern Europe For a certain layout of Barrow?"
"No way, how is this possible!"
"Don't say it is so terrible, the emperor is not a god, can he see things thousands of miles away!"
"Sometimes I'm not afraid of ten thousand, but just in case!" Prince Su Ge's voice suddenly sank, and his face became even more iron blue. Being able to say this is enough to show that the prince is not a mediocre, but this is also true. It was really too scary, and immediately made the depressed atmosphere in the hall become more chilly, and silently can hear the popping sound of candles bursting in the fire
"You mean, we might be calculated?" the deep voice said hesitantly
"No way, this is absolutely impossible..."
Bihasuri knew that it was time for him to come forward. Prince Suger’s glance was actually to make a round for himself. After all, it’s better to be steady now than to be self-defeating
He took a step forward, took a deep breath, and said categorically, "It shouldn't be. The price of food in the Imperial Capital can affect the development of the situation thousands of miles away. I don't believe that the imperial emperor can To achieve this, let’s not mess with ourselves. "He took a scorching and firm look at the other special envoys of the Three Kingdoms." I believe that the rise in food prices in the Imperial Capital should be just some kind of temptation from the empire. What we have to do now is to watch it. Change, so much of the Imperial Capital’s grain, and the price is tripled in one go, we can’t afford it, and other people can’t afford it. If the food cannot be sold, the Imperial Capital merchants themselves will make trouble!"
"Bihasuri is right, we can't be arrogant, food can't be sold, those merchants are more anxious than us!" Upon hearing Bihasuri's words, Prince Suk of the Harvey Kingdom affirmed a point. Click here
"The empire is so cunning that it wants to force us to be fooled like this!"
"It's still sharper than Hassuri"
"Pa" Just when everyone secretly breathed a sigh of relief, the door of the meeting room was violently pushed open, and the Harvey Kingdom officer who had brought Bihasuri walked in with an ugly look. Holding a letter from Harvey Kingdom in his hand
"What's in such a hurry? For such a level of meeting, have you forgotten even the most basic etiquette!" Prince Suge, the special envoy of the Harvey Kingdom, snorted with a sullen expression.
"Your Majesty, the order just came from the country. Your Majesty asks you to bring the food you bought back to your country immediately when you receive the letter. The empire's army in the northern part of the mission is gathering, and there is a tendency to go south at any time. , The kingdom needs this ration," the adjutant took a deep breath and said, respectfully handing the letter to Prince Suge with both hands
"What~IndoMTL.com~At this time, the empire will use troops in the southern part of the mission country! How is it possible, when was this order issued?"
Prince Su Ke shook his body, turned his head, and almost fainted. He quickly took the order book, his eyes were swept, his face suddenly turned pale, his mouth muttered, how could it be? In this way, how could this be? How could the empire use troops against the southern part of the mission country at this moment! Prince Su Ke's hand holding the order book was trembling slightly, and he returned to the country with grain. Now where is the grain to return to the country! The empire suddenly increased the price of food by three times. Even if he buys food now, he will definitely not be able to complete the required quantity. Prince Sukh looked at the date on the letter and felt cold and miserable. This is eleven days. It’s no doubt that even a fool understands it. Just as the Four Nations Alliance was stirring up the storm in the Imperial Capital, the empire was quietly deploying forces in the northern part of the cult state, that is to say, the empire’s vision He was not attracted by them at all, but was in the south from beginning to end!
The empire gathers its forces in the northern part of the religious regiment. The purpose is not necessarily to go south. It is more like suppressing the main force of the Three Kingdoms and not daring to move. There are people, who will it be? Prince Su Ke suddenly hit a violent spirit, suddenly raised his head, his gaze fell on Bihasuri's face that was a little surprised, the kingdom of Karisu, the imperial sword must point to the kingdom of Karisu who wanted to advance north!
