Power and Empire Chapter 496: The tiger sniffs the rose (1)
"Dark Rose"
This is a name that is full of temptation and makes men think about it. It is the twelve top deacons of the business alliance who control 660% of the trade volume and are known as the uncrowned emperor of the underground.憷的名,
It is said that this woman's nickname was kissed by a big person, and it comes from one of the most famous poems by the great Vikia poet Dubai.
"In my heart there is a tiger sniffing the rose in the dark"
The meaning of this poem is to say that no matter how weak people are, there is a tendency to violence in their hidden hearts. This verse perfectly combines the two contradictions of beauty and violence, just like this Mysterious woman, sometimes amorous, sometimes cold and ruthless,
Her smiles and frowns can make the person facing her head overwhelmed, and make her enemies look like an ice cave,
This is a woman from the dark. Under her delicate and seductive appearance, she controls the 6 most powerful business organization,
She knows almost every key aspect of the business alliance operation. At the most important business alliance deacon meeting of each quarter, her words are often the final word.
Because only her signature, the Wikiya army that controls each level will let it go,
I don’t know how many big businessmen who want to secretly manipulate the market, they broke their heads in front of this woman,
Under her alluring beauty, there is a chill that makes people cold,
In her room where the door is heavily locked and full of guards, there are always piles of reports waiting to be signed on the desk. There are applications for opening up new trade routes, and some requesting to expand the flow of goods, but occasionally they can Turn up a report that records a certain luxury businessman wantonly disrupting the order of the market,
Such reports are often submitted through secret channels by the local Vijaya garrison, investigated by the Department of Supervision at the Ducal Palace, and signed by Dark Rose.
Basically pronounced the end of this rich businessman's brilliant career,
Someone suggested secretly using money to buy her, but there is no way to start, because this woman is not short of money,
Millions of gold coins flow through her hands every day, and hundreds of applications for opening up new business roads are piled up on her desk like waste paper. In her eyes, money is already a Zhang Zhang has no substantive figures,
Some people have also proposed to approach her with beautiful men’s tricks. It’s a pity that these young aristocrats who are well-dressed enough to become a girl’s dream lover will soon appear in a smelly sewer in the city of Zhivading and die. To live, it depends on personal luck.
She is a hand, a hand from the Lord Duke. Behind her, not only has the strongest right to speak, but also the will of Vicia to rule. Her thorn carries cold blood.
This point is the highest secret at the top of the business alliance,
There was once a senior deacon who didn’t know the depths. With the support of some wealthy businessmen, he tried to challenge this woman who didn’t seem to have any background. In the end, this senior deacon, together with him, Several of the wealthy merchants were uprooted by the Ministry of Supervision, and their lives and deaths are still unknown, just like steaming in the world.
"It's here"
Hu Lun Fei Lin lightly knocked on the front car plate, and the carriage stopped on a road paved with gravel. The representative of the Dexi Sea, Hu Turier Red Moon, was led by Hu Lun Fei Lin, Getting off the carriage in doubt,
"Ms. Delan lives here?"
Sweeping his eyes, a hint of surprise flashed across Hutulier's red moon face. In front of him was a simple courtyard. On the gray iron railing gate, there were no signs of identity inlaid, and inside the gate was a spacious lawn.
Two rows of neatly high pines are like an emerald green wall standing on both sides, and a white two-story building is faintly visible in the distance,
Such courtyards are often seen on the road. They are often aristocrats whose families are in ruin. Because of their difficult circumstances, such simple courtyards will be built on the fringe of the city. Who will put the owner here with those who control thousands of trades? Do business alliances dominate the links together?
"This situation is not uncommon in Vicia's land"
Hu Lun Feilin waved his hand disapprovingly, as if thinking of something, the corner of his mouth chuckled and said, "Hiding yourself in the most unexpected place is the habit of a certain guy’s nasty interest, and it will also affect people near him. People"
"Well, I have also heard about that person's hobbies"
Hutulier Hongyue nodded as if he didn't understand, in fact, in Rudexihai, some nasty things about fat people are very popular, and they have a sense of identification in the eyes of pirates who behave crudely.
Stepping into the gate of the courtyard, Hutulier Red Moon quickly discovered the difference in this courtyard. The simplicity is not simple. The seemingly ordinary carpet under her feet gives her a soft and comfortable feeling. The feeling of the cloud,
"Is this Odolix?"
The indescribable comfort at the feet made Huturiel’s red moon walking above her tongue secretly, and a self-talking whisper from her astonished mouth. She has only heard of this superb carpet in legends. ,
It is said that the most luxurious and priceless top carpet is called Odorix, which means "earth pearl" in the prairie language.
This kind of pearl carpet can only be woven with a dozen of the toughest and most elastic hairs on the neck of a cherished white sheep. Such an Ordolix with a length of tens of meters requires at least a million heads. Sheep is possible. It has always been the most ostentatious luxury of the Kujit court. It is only used in the July ritual of the court every year
Of course, Huturiel Red Moon didn’t know that what she was stepping on was the legendary Ordolix. In order to compensate for the military expenses for the purchase of weapons, the only poor Kujit court was left with the pants. I pledged this heirloom,
Socutus Delan feels that this thing is idle in the warehouse, and it is regarded as a floor stall, who is a tall woman, who cares most about her slender feet, this thing is stepping on, That's a kind of enjoyment
Such astonishment, it seems that I’m gone, and I walked past a seemingly ordinary corner in front of me,
A strong stimulus made Huturiel's red moon's eyes completely frozen
"Luxury, what kind of person does it need to be worthy of such luxury"
Huturiel Hongyue subconsciously licked her nervous and chapped lips, her eyes were full of drunkenness,
In the front hall, there is a seven-star-shaped crystal chandelier surrounded by a large crystal chandelier with a diameter of three meters in the middle. It is transparent and bright and makes people feel the magic of the creator.
Those small round, familiar pale white luster undoubtedly show that the chandelier that made this shocking world and made some luxury dull without luster is made up of thousands of luster and full, the same size. The best Salander big pearls are cascaded together,
Such a pearl can be sold for hundreds of gold coins on the market, but here, it can only be used as an embellishment of the wall hanging lamp, and it is no longer luxurious in words
"All these add up, I'm afraid we won't be able to make a profit in Xihai for ten years" Huturier Red Moon has been completely shocked and messed up,
My eyes are staring at the pearl chandelier, my astonished face is faintly disappointed, the hand holding the gift is slightly white,
Taking advantage of Hu Lunfeilin's efforts to lead the way, Huturier Red Moon's hand gently stroked, and the gift box silently traversed an arc, and fell into the grass beside his feet.
Hand over the red coat to the maid standing at the door. Hu Lunfeilin, who led the way, stopped in front of a room and made a sign of please
"Miss Delan is waiting for you inside. This is her meeting with you guys, I will not go in."
"Meeting with Ruo De Xihai?" This sentence seems to stimulate the stubbornness in the blood of Huturier's red moon, and his lonely face regained the gleam that it should have,
"Damn, what happened today"
Huturiel Red Moon cursed secretly in his heart, embarrassed by his gaffe,
Originally, I was a little afraid that the other party would take the opportunity to embezzle Xihai’s interests, but now it has emerged that Xihai’s interest is really small and pitiful in front of the real trade predators. In this case, this little thing in his own hands , I really can’t get it
With the knock on the door,
"Come in, there is a clear female voice inside,
Huturiel Red Moon gently pushed open the thick and mysterious door in front of him, gathered the utmost courage and walked in, closing the door, engulfing her figure
"It's nice to meet you. If I didn't guess wrong, you are the most famous Haiyan in Rudexihai"
Socutus Delan smiled and stood up from behind the table, reaching out to Huturiel Red Moon, whose face was pale due to tension,
Seeing the other party hesitatingly stretched out her hand and shook hands with herself, Socutus Delan knew that her plan was half done,
Be timid before fighting, this swallow in the West Sea Storm has already stepped into the trap he dug in advance.
In the face of absolute strength, all conspiracies appear pale and weak
My own series of arrangements really made this Xihai leader, who is known for his beauty and spiciness, completely lost his most basic interest and care, and now he has the initiative to speak in his own hands
"I plan to open up a port on the island chain of the West Sea to serve as a freight point for the business alliance.
But you know that the West China Sea is densely covered with reefs. If there is no safe passage, I can only abandon this plan and cooperate with the Ali family in the central part. Compared with you, the central sea area is wider and easier to navigate. Compared to your Xihai, it’s not a bit stronger
After exchanging a few words with each other, Socutus Delan looked solemn and put forward her plan straightforwardly.
"No, the waterway is not a problem"
Sure enough, Huturier Hongyue’s pretty face turned pale when she heard that Delan was about to work with her rival Ali’s family, almost without thinking about it.
"Although the West China Sea is densely covered with reefs, it is not without a channel at all. We in the West China Sea can fully guarantee that as long as adults can establish cargo stations on the island chain, we can ensure that merchant ships pass freely along the coastline"
"Verbal guarantees are meaningless"
Socutus Delan looked unmoved, she shook her head coldly
"I can't entrust millions of trade and thousands of businessmen's lives to insubstantial verbal commitments. If there is no more precise thing, I can only choose to abandon Xihai and cooperate with Ali's family"
"This is a chart drawn by our thirty-two companies in Xihai. This can prove that I am by no means bluffing."
Huturiel's Red Moon bit his lip with his teeth, hesitated for a while, suddenly stood up, took out a pair of leather pictures from his arms, spread it out in front of Socutus Delan, pointing A corner of the west of the map
"This is the cliff sea with dense reefs, but according to our many years of exploration, there is a relatively safe passage on the west side of the cliff sea, but it is relatively narrow and cannot pass too many ships at once.
"In previous years, we used this secret tunnel to transfer part of the goods to Vijaya for sale. But this year, because of the decline in the strength of Dylans on the sea, the Ali family in the central part of the country violated the previous agreement and expanded greatly. Not only did we want Expanding to the sea, this joint secret tunnel is no longer safe."
Huturiel's Red Moon gritted her teeth and vowed, now that the survival of Xihai is in danger, she can't control so much.
"But I can assure you that as long as Miss Dailan can agree to our request, she will desperately, and we will open this channel through the thirty-two in the West Sea."
"You are going to fight Ali's family?"
Socutus Delan frowned slightly, glanced at the angry Huturiel Hongyue, and suddenly asked
"I heard that Ali's family is an agent of the Ruode navy specializing in smuggling, and has inextricably linked with the Ruode nobles,
You go to war with him, are you afraid of offending the German navy? Although the Röde navy is now declining, it is not something pirates like you can contend with, right? "
"We are pirates. From the day when we were Shanghai pirates, we were not prepared to have a good result"
Huturiel’s red moon has red eyes, and the corners of his mouth under the light show a trace of desolation. "If you can survive, who would choose to be a pirate, you may not know. Now what we most envy is the opposite of the reef. Hu Lin, looking at people’s lives now, and then looking at us, it’s like a heaven and an underground."
"Well, let me think about it. Let’s leave this chart here first. Tomorrow morning, I will give you an answer." Socutus Delan will buckle the chart on the table and let Hu Lun Fei Lin take it Huturiel went down to rest on the red moon, then quickly picked up the quill on the table and wrote a few words on a piece of paper
"Come here, send this to the Castle of Eberron." Socutus Delan covered the secret piece in his hand with red fire paint, and gave it to the close maid outside the door. A fast horse galloped from the gate of the manor. Out
"The Grand Duke, an emergency secret letter from Tuan Manor" A captain of the guard gently knocked on the door of Fatty's study, holding a red fire-lacquered secret in his hand
"Come in"
The fat man who was listening to Berrant Bonnie’s explanation of Eberron’s history and human geography was listening with gusto, and without turning his head back, he waved directly to the captain of the guard
"Help me see, what is written on it?"
A hesitation flashed across the captain's face. Opening the confidential document is a felony and he must be decapitated
"This is the order" Fatty's face sank and put on a serious posture
"It's "The captain of the guards quickly stood up, using his fingers to gently pry open the paint on the seal, took out a delicate leaded paper from the inside, and said aloud
"The sea breeze is strong"
"The sea breeze is strong?"
Blante Bonnie's face was shocked, and she glanced at the fat man who was listening to her explanation. She couldn't figure out her head at all. This dead fat man was too capable of pretending, she obviously cares about this letter. To pretend to be indifferent, those two slightly upturned eyebrows undoubtedly reveal the true thoughts of this slut
"A sea breeze looks like something is already in hand." The fat man smiled at the corner of his mouth and waved his hand to let the guard go down.
"What is it?" Bertrand Bonnie was at a loss. Since Fatty let her be her bodyguard, through secret letters, she also knows some things that Fatty is secretly instigating.
What provokes the Khergits to inward the bar, pulls the northern part of Salander into their own ally, behind the Yin Swadians, these unthinkable things, in the eyes of Berlante Bonnie, who has received orthodox knight education since childhood, It is simply the shame of a nobleman in the kingdom. The duke’s mansion does not wait. He has to jump up and down, wishing to mess up the entire Big Six,
"This guy is just a shit-cutter" Burrant Bonnie felt a burst of anger when she recalled the situation when she rebutted her at the meeting.
"Be more serious with such a guy, I was definitely a ghost at the time"
Keberland Bonnie also had to admit that it was in this up-and-down chaos that Samer accumulated advantages step by step, conquered the South, defeated the private armies of the nobles and the Stian family in the North, and gradually became a big country. Altar,
According to the fat man's words, this is called layout planning. It is the most mysterious subject and strategy more advanced than Paravin College. Only when you are really inside can you find out the context inside
For this reason, a fat man with a complex face made the arrogant female knight who wanted to get in touch with strategy to become her own follower
"If I tell you, do you believe it is the chart of the West Sea?"
The fat man laughed, despite the astonishment on his face, Brant Bonnie turned around and pointed to the west skyline
"Cross this forest barrier, is the Kingdom of Ruud, when they found, in their backyard, suddenly tens of thousands of Vikya troops popped out, I don’t know what their expressions would be?"
"Are you going to go to war with the ruders?" Berlante Bonnie was obviously frightened by the fat man's words. This thing changed so quickly. After all, she was just an ordinary middle-level commander, who wanted to fight with the fat man. Compared with the guy with a big six in her head, she is still several levels behind. As a frontline commander who has fought fiercely with the Rude, she can imagine her sensitivity to this sentence
"You are wrong, people don’t offend me, I don’t offend people. This is my consistent principle. Violence is not the only way to solve the problem, but when violence comes, I will report even more terrible violence." The fat man has a gentle face. Yun Dan stretched out a plump finger and shook it in front of Brant Bonnie's eyes, like a devout pacifist~IndoMTL.com~Who would have thought of this kind of compassionate bitch? Big 6's biggest source of turbulence
"You promised me that you will help me take revenge on Swadian" Brant Bonnie said with a reddened face, "Now I'm counting the ruders again, what do you want to do?"
"What should I do to avenge you is only part of our agreement. Haven't you been clamoring to learn strategy, then I will call you the most basic lesson today." Looking into the distance, his face is excited
"Have you heard of a poem?" "I have a tiger in my heart sniffing the rose in the dark" Fatty said word by word, "This is human nature. There is courage in anyone's heart, just see if you can awaken her The Tiger in the Heart"
The undulating mountains in the distance, under the setting sun, are like a beautiful Phnom Penh inlaid with a perennial green pine forest, like a green carpet, spreading from the foot of the castle to the boundless wilderness of the sky. ..
