Power and Empire Chapter 356: The wind comes from the sea (2)
"Murorus?" Maomaona said with a stunned look. "Isn't there a barren coast with turbulent rocks? It is said that it was originally the domain of a small lord of Rudd, and the Swadians won for the third time. It was occupied during the Erluge War, but because it was too barren and was often harassed by pirates, it basically abandoned it, leaving only the strength of a small fortress. Why does the Grand Duke want that piece of land?"
"Hehe, for the Swadian people, there may be just a barren coast, but for us who have coastal trade, it is a rare treasure." The fat man smiled and said with excitement
"I have heard the Hu Lin people on the sea mention it many times, because the towering cliffs on both sides of the strait extend outward, and the recessed area forms a natural inner bay area, which is where the best port is.
Warships of the Hulin tribe have used it as a supply point many times. As long as they cross the mountainous area on the shore, they can enter the Sagos region in the south of Ruod, which is the richest area in Ruod.
I have sent someone to calculate carefully. If you sail north along the western coastline of Wuchaize, you can reach this natural inner port in three days, which is much shorter than half of our land caravan. , The fat man's voice paused, and his face was eager.
"If this area can be taken down, then the trade line of Vijaya can quickly cross the Kingdom of Ruud and reach the more distant Dorok Mountains, where the price of our weapons can easily triple. Above, this is a golden route that can give birth to"
"My lord’s vision is really unique. I’m going to draft the manuscript. I believe the Swadian people will agree to this condition. Unfortunately, the Swadian people guarded such a treasured land, but regarded it as a wasteland, which is really a waste. "Mao Manaqing suddenly realized that she got up from her seat and said goodbye.
Send away Mao Mo Naqing, the fat man heard Hu Keqili’s voice ringing outside the tent
"The Grand Duke, the Kurgits of Turga City sent a special envoy, Lord Lidakus who is in charge of handling affairs, temporarily placed the envoy in Ossa City, fifty miles away from here, specially sent someone Sent overnight for instructions"
"The Kujites are so fast." The fat man took a deep breath, frowning his eyebrows. Although the western steppe belongs to the Zuowei tribe, it still belongs to King Kujit of Turga in name. Court, sending a special envoy at this time is obviously not a good thing,
"Do you know who is here this time?" The fat man took off the armor from the hanger, turned and asked in a deep voice.
"It's the new head of the foreign affairs officer of Kujit, Kureitfei," Hu Keqili replied with a respectful look." Lord Lidakus said, this Kujit special envoy was very bad-tempered. We, Vickia, made a solemn protest, saying that we and the Swadians, both invaders in this prairie, demand that we immediately retreat to the original border, otherwise it will be like us declaring war"
"Hehe, these Khergits are really wolves. The scars are really healed. The scars are forgotten to hurt." The fat man sneered a few times. "If we hadn't blocked the Swadian army, the city of Turga would have been It’s the flames of war, there is still the strength to run to me and call"
"Yes, the subordinates almost wanted to expel the envoy on the spot, but Lidarcus believed that, anyway, it is the final moment of our decisive battle with the Swadian army. Any improper handling is possible. This had an adverse effect on the entire battle, so this arrogant guy was deliberately imprisoned, and after the end of the war, he would report to the Grand Duke for his decision."
"It’s a bit like Lidarcus’ did." The fat man lifted the curtain of the tent, walked out from inside, and handed a military order to Hu Keqili, who was waiting outside the door.
"You immediately send someone to Lidarcus and tell him that this matter is handled no matter what, I don’t see this special envoy. If the Kujites have the ability, let them come to the western prairie by themselves. Don’t blame me Vikia’s sharp blades at that time."
"Yes, subordinates understand" Hu Keqili nodded excitedly,
After a while, Hu Keqili, who had just left, turned back with a weird look. He hesitated outside the fat man’s tent, as if there was something hard to say.
"What's the matter? Is it that Hu Keqili, who is known as the enemy of ten thousand people, is also afraid of entering my military tent." A muffled grunt made Hu Keqili tremble, and he quickly lifted the curtain of the tent and left. Go in, put your right hand on your chest, and respectfully salute "Grand Duke"
"Did Kujit come again?" The fat man squatted on the ground and picked up the brazier in the middle of the tent with a stick in his hand, letting the red flames come out of the black charcoal and bake the whole tent. It’s warm,
"Great, how did the Grand Duke know..." Hu Keqili half-kneeled on the ground, holding a yellow cloth wrapped in a long object, his face looked like a stained shop, he looked like hell. Panic Road
"Just now, the camp patrol captain came to report that a Kujit who claimed to be the deceased of the Grand Duke Yunzhongcheng asked to see the Grand Duke. The subordinate went down and took a look. It was the former Kujit foreign officer Dowei who came. Yan, he also brought an item and asked me to personally give it to the adult, saying that it was representing the adult’s old friend in Yunzhongcheng, and came to ask the adult for something. The subordinate remembered the adult’s order, so he didn’t dare to report it."
"Oh, what?" The fat man stood up curiously at the temple, took the long package from Hu Keqili, his hands suddenly stopped in the air, his face changed slightly, as if he was holding his hands like burning charcoal.
"Go, let Duo Weiyan come in and see me." After a while, the fat man waved his hand to the panicked Hu Keqili and put the long package in his hand on the table. This thing is so familiar. The tactile feel of the threads thrown through the cloth is obviously the handle of a certain item, and the strips at the end are hanging down, which is obviously a horse whip~IndoMTL.com~Calculating the time, this month's deadline is almost the same. , This woman is really impatient" The fat man sighed helplessly
"The Grand Duke would like to live forever and bless you forever." A lean Kujit followed Hu Keqili into the tent and bowed to the fat man to salute the Kujit's unique sturdy breath. Come here
"This guy is more and more like a prairie lone wolf"
The fat man glanced at Duo Weiyan, his eyes narrowed slightly. For some reason, the fat man felt more and more "wolflike" in this young Kujit nobleman.
That is an intuition. This young generation of Kujit, who was once pampered, is growing at an eye-catching speed amidst continuous crises.
"Are you here to negotiate?" The fat man asked knowingly, and asked in a deep voice.
"Disrespectful Grand Duke, I am no longer a member of the Royal Court of Turga." Duo Weiyan's face was pale, and then he held his head firmly and said, "My Duo Wei has always been a subordinate tribe of Queen Aichamore. According to the previous agreement between the Grand Duke and the master, I am here to fulfill my promise to the adults"
"Promise?" The fat man looked stunned, he could not remember what he had agreed with Queen Aichemore
Seeing the puzzled look of the fat man, Duo Weiyan's performance was even more weird, her face turned red and white, and suddenly she knelt down in front of the fat man and bowed all over the ground
"My Doyan Ministry will be attached to the Grand Duke of Falcon from today, and I will dedicate the city of Aichamore to the Grand Duke."
