Tales of the Reincarnated Lord Chapter 569: Who will kill you?

Who will assassinate you?

On July 25, Lorist and his family boarded the Blue Seagull passenger ship and set off for Jillin Harbor to prepare for Imperial Capital to participate in the Second Highness ascension ceremony. Of course, when passing by Kenmays Family Territory Sidol Province, we still have to stop at Platinum Beach for a long time, so that we can pick up the Duke Kenmays ready to go with Lorist.

The Blue Seagull passenger ship is a new type of large-scale ocean-going ocean ship specially manufactured by the Bullhorn Bay shipbuilding workshop. The ship has 124 cabins and can carry 470 passengers at a time. This is the first dedicated passenger ship in the history of Grindia Continent. The passenger ship Norton Family of the same type is also preparing to build three more to open the route from Beihai City to Hidegold Bay, instead of carrying cargo ships to both places now.

This is the first official operation of the Blue Seagull passenger ship. After carrying Lorist to Jillin Harbor, it will continue to sail to Hidegold Bay. Lorist took family and Imperial Guard servants to board this passenger ship, leaving Duke Kenmays more than half of the cabins. But I did not expect that Duke Kenmays actually took more than 2,000 people to Imperial Capital. Fortunately, Duke Kenmays seemed to have anticipated this situation. It was only when half of the large ocean-going merchant fleet of Kenmays Family was transferred to solve the overcrowding problem.

"Locke, did you bring such a small group of people to participate in the ascension ceremony of His Majesty King?" The first sentence of Duke Kenmays after boarding the ship was this question.

Lorist for a moment: "Why, is there any problem?"

Lorist this time brought a team of Imperial Guard with a hundred people, plus five wives and their children, as well as maids and servants, and so on, there were two hundred people. It ’s light and simple, but it ’s awkward. The argument is somewhat shabby. On the contrary, as a Territory Grand Duke(s), it is normal for a guy like Kenmays to bring more than 2,000 people all over the city. It's just that Lorist has always disliked such trips, the simpler the better.

Duke Kenmays said suddenly: "Although you are Sword Saint, you do n’t have to worry about safety when traveling. Unlike me, I have to take a thousand guards with me at any time. But do n’t forget, the ceremony of King In the past, Territory Duke(s) like us will send a family of armed forces with thousands of people to participate in the parade to show their loyalty to our King Your Majesty ... "

"This is simple," Lorist said with a smile, "I can draw a guarded thousand team from Silowas Islands to Imperial Capital to participate in this parade parade. Anyway, they are all posing, and no one will be true. Besides my family armed forces only returned from the expedition at the end of last year, and now all have a big holiday, there is no need to gather them to select personnel to participate in the Imperial Capital festival. "

"Well, that's okay." Duke Kenmays nodded: "No wonder I haven't seen Charade and Potterfang and they went to Imperial Capital with you. No other Lord(s) masters are allowed to follow and participate in the ceremony to get familiar."

"I asked them, but they do n’t want to go. Maybe it ’s better for them to go to Imperial Capital to attend the ceremony with their family at home. After all, after three years of expedition, they need the comfort of their family. So I ’m here Then I brought Reidy and Gennario, as well as the Patt leader of the Imperial Guard team. "Lorist said.

Duke Kenmays sighed quite understandably: "I understand that three years ago, I returned to Sidol Province with the surviving family armed forces, and I did n’t want to go anywhere at home like them. Unlike you, you are Triumphant return, and we are the survivors of the **** battle, after returning home, the feeling of finally being escaped from death has been lingering in my heart. During that time I kept eating and drinking, and having crazy **** with the maids. It wasn't until half a year later that I slowly calmed down and had the heart to take care of various family and Chamber of Commerce affairs ... "

Lorist didn't say a word, everyone was pitted by Second Highness that year, thinking that gathering millions of soldiers near the border would allow Trade Union to agree to return the Territory and Andinak Kingdom of the two provinces to a peace agreement. Everyone thinks that it is only to take the family armed forces to go to the border demonstration and go home to enjoy the favorable conditions promised by Second Highness. No one expected that Trade Union didn't take this million army into their eyes, but instead provoked war, and after three years of **** battle, they lost both.

The Tempest Sword Saint battle between Lorist and Trade Union suffered a heavy blow and left the front line. Subsequently, the family Territory rebelled, so the front line family armed forces three big field battles Legion returned to Territory peace. The three main Norton Family Legions could n’t bear the Andinak Kingdom Aristocrat(s) coalition as soon as they walked the front line of Falik Plains. In the face of Trade Union's continuous reinforcements from the southern provinces and the sea and sea tactics, the Aristocrat(s) coalition suffered heavy injuries and could only manage to maintain the front.

Fortunately, Lorist recovered the wounds and calmed the family Territory. The rebellion set off again, first destroying the invincible fleet of Trade Union, then attacking Morante City with a surprise attack of Hidegold Bay, and it returned to the dynamic situation on the battlefield, forcing Trade Union armed forces to withdraw from Falik Plains. The crumbling Aristocrat(s) coalition was rescued from the brink of collapse, and they returned to their return journey to the family Territory. Then he defeated Trade Union with a three-year campaign, forcing him to bow his head and concede.

It can be said that without Norton Family's struggle, there will be no Second Highness ascension ceremony. It is Norton Family armed forces that saved the fate of the entire Andinak Kingdom. Duke Kenmays is also very clear about this. What he deeply regrets was how easy it was to be fooled by the generous treatment promised by Second Highness. His mind followed the Second Highness and went straight to the cliff. The family's carefully prepared heavy armor armed forces Legion Most of the funeral.

"I regret it!" Duke Kenmays sighed: "You once said that our King was very happy, and I didn't know how to converge when we succeeded. We all forgot your good advice, if most of the Trade Union armed forces was eliminated then After the troop no longer invades Falik Plains, there may be a great possibility that an armistice agreement will be reached with Trade Union to restore peace. But His Majesty King must have Ma Ta Falik Plains blood-washed Morante City, as a result, we were caught in a **** battle, and all of the family armed forces suffered casualties Nothing to think about ...

Fortunately, you Norton Family are willing to lend a helping hand and send troops to help, so we lucky people can still climb back from the **** quagmire of Maniqiu. All kingdoms Territory Aristocrat(s) know that without your Norton Family's help, let alone our King can now hold the ceremony, even three years ago it would be very difficult to get out of Falik Plains. Not to mention that once we fail, the army of Trade Union armed forces will sweep down, whether the kingdom can be existence is a question, because we already lost all the resistance ... "

"The war already subsided, and peace already came." Lorist interrupted Duke Kenmays's sigh: "You are not traveling with me just to complain about the **** battle of already in the past. In the past, already, we should have a loss. Learn lessons to avoid making the same mistakes again in the future, instead of always tangling with memories of the past. Say, what do you really want to say to me this time? Otherwise, you would have come to your party and lively nature Imperial Capital enjoyment has gone, and will not wait eagerly to go with me. "

Duke Kenmays smiled bitterly: "Don't look at me from the old eyes, after I return from Falik Plains, I will lose interest in those parties. But you are right, there are some reasons to go with you this time, first of all Yes, I want to thank you for supporting Dawn Academy to open a business school in Vanades City. This is very good news for all Chamber of Commerce of Vanades City. With the opening of the business school, those Chamber of Commerce who want to expand will not have to worry about where to find the right skilled personnel . With the addition of students who graduated from the Business School, these Chamber of Commerce developments can go to on the right track, avoiding detours ... "

More than ten days have passed since the meeting with Claude Dean, already, Duke Kenmays Natural already received the news, so it is not surprising that he thanked Lorist.

"You're welcome. You are not bad as the main city of Vanades City. Over the years, Vanades City has developed into the largest commercial city in the kingdom, and I have even started to consider how to reward you. But what makes me curious is that you How do you convince the Chamber of Commerce of the whole kingdom to let them open the Chamber of Commerce station in Vanades City? "

To be honest, this is indeed a question of Lorist. Although Vanades City was previously a commercial city of Madras Dukedom in the impression of Lorist, its size is much smaller than Morante City. The most important thing was that Madras Grand Duke used Vanades City for grain trade, so it was a bit prosperous. After Lorist led the family armed forces to Madras Dukedom, Vanades City was placed under the family's jurisdiction.

Later Kenmays Family replaced Territory, relocated from Northern Land eastern area to Sidol Province, Lorist and Duke Kenmays to bargain, appointed Duke Kenmays as the Vanades City city owner, and gave him the largest commercial city in the West Northern Land district to manage it, and also gave Snow Salt Chamber of Commerce a base. .

Just beyond Lorist's surprise, Duke Kenmays is really dedicated to Vanades City. Not only has it attracted many Chamber of Commerce to set up a resident here, but also Vanades City spontaneously formed the largest commercial market in West Northern Land area. Norton Family collects from Vanades City every year. The tax revenue reached 3,400,000 gold fordes, and already exceeded the Windbury King City tax of the largest livestock market in East Northern Land area, which was three times.

Duke Kenmays's mouth grinned: "In fact, the prosperity of Vanades City should be most appreciated by our Majesty King. In the year when the Central Four Dukedom was conquered, in order to raise arms funds, he ordered the Chamber of Commerce resident tax in the Kingdom to be raised to 100% 30. If you add customs clearance fees and transportation taxes for goods, the total tax that the businessman must bear is about 60% of the total cost. Such taxes will make re-money transactions at a loss, forcing them to lose money. Those Chamber of Commerce opened in Imperial Capital had to relocate.

In this case, Vanades City becomes the best choice for most Chamber of Commerce. Because Vanades City is under the jurisdiction of Norton Family, the resident business tax is only 10%, and within the sphere of influence of Norton Family Territory and our four Northern Land alliances, customs duties are only collected once for each. Even if you go to other provinces in the kingdom, because it is Chamber of Commerce in Norton Family Territory, you will be treated fairly and will not be subject to additional exploitation.

So all the Chamber of Commerces in the Kingdom slowly choose their resident locations at Vanades City. As soon as there are more merchants, the city will naturally flourish. Besides, I am also a businessman, and understand what the businessman needs most. Strengthen the law and order of Vanades City, crack down on robberies and kidnappers, clear out robbers and robbers on the road, and make businessmen feel safe. Invest in funds for large-scale urban construction, improve public health, formalize commercial transactions and provide guarantees. If these points are achieved, cities will develop rapidly. "

Lorist nodded in praise: "I didn't expect you to have such an excellent ability to govern in addition to a businessman's mind. Of course, I won't say much about your pick-up and communication skills. By the way, besides thanking me for your support Dawn Academy Outside the Business School Branch opened at Vanades City, are there any other reasons why you have to go with me? "

Duke Kenmays's face became serious: "Yes, another reason is that I will be safer with you ..."

"You mean ..." Lorist froze.

Duke Kenmays slowly untied his placket, exposed more than half of his chest, and his white chest was wrapped in a thick white bandage, with a hint of fresh red blood. Lorist came to understand immediately, no wonder I always smell the smell of a wound medicine.

"I have experienced three assassinations in the past two months. The most dangerous one is this month. The assassin couldn't get close because of the guards of our family. He threw the sword over and scratched my chest like this. A word of mouth. So I have been looking forward to your arrival soon, the moment I saw you, I really felt relieved, now I don't have to worry about being assassinated again. "Duke Kenmays said bitterly.

"Who did it? Did you catch the assassin? And why didn't you ask me for help earlier?" Lorist was angry.

Duke Kenmays shook his head: "I don't know who did it. But the assassin is a Level 1 Great Sword Master. Although our family's guard can't keep him, he can't succeed. As for asking you for help, haha, I can't afford it This face, this also requires you to Sword Saint shot, then Kenmays Family will become a joke in the Aristocrat(s) circle. "

"You, you have to face your life to suffer." Lorist frowned and thought: "It's strange, why would there be a Great Sword Master shot at you? In terms of your Kenmays Family status in the kingdom and relationships, there should be no Great Sword Master. The reason for the assassination, let alone the effect of killing you on the kingdom, is also optional. Letting an Level 1 Great Sword Master adventure assassinate you three times in two months is not worth it ... "

Duke Kenmays protest: "Hey, hey, hey, do I have you say so badly?"

Lorist ignored him and speculated: "Consecutive shots are unwilling to stop. Even after the failure of the first assassination, even if your family already raised the defense, the Great Sword Master assassin still shot twice. This is impossible without deep hatred. That ’s the way. Could it be you who provokes a lady who did n’t clean her **** and even let your husband with a green hat be unwilling to buy Great Sword Master to assassinate you? Well, I think this is the biggest possibility ... "

Duke Kenmays exasperated: "Don't tell me if you laughed, what's the meaning of that green hat? I usually like cuckold. Well, I'm sure it won't be the reason you said. In fact, I suspect the reason for the assassination was At Snow Salt Chamber of Commerce. "

"Snow Salt Chamber of Commerce?"

"Yes, do you know the Wisconsin Knight(s) who had a private relationship with the former queen? It is the illegitimate child under the control of King ..."

Lorist nodded.

"Do n’t you say that he, you Norton Family opened a large market in Jillin Harbor? Last year, King filed him as Count, Territory was arranged in Majik province, and he was going to send him away from Imperial Capital. But this Wisconsin Knight(s) held King's feet on the spot Crying, His Majesty King agreed to let him stay, but cancelled his post of Royal Imperial Guard leader.

The Count Wisconsin then opened a Chamber of Commerce in Imperial Capital, named Antares Chamber of Commerce. Somehow got the right to sell the two rock salt mines of the former Empire central Keribia Province from His Majesty King, so in the second half of last year, we started a commercial war with our Snow Salt Chamber of Commerce for the salt sales market in the provinces of the Kingdom. I used all kinds of relationships and snow salt to slash prices to finally win the war, and that Count Wisconsin lost nearly 100,000 gold fordes. "Duke Kenmays is a bit smug.

"So you suspect that this Count Wisconsin sent Great Sword Master to assassinate you with you? This is impossible. First, he cannot afford Great Sword Master in his capacity. Second, he should know that assassination will kill you. Once the truth is revealed, no one will save it. Without him, His Majesty King can't afford this responsibility, he will not be so irrational. I still suspect it is your mischief ... "Lorist expressed his doubts.

Duke Kenmays sighed: "Oh, I know you don't believe my instincts."

"Do n’t worry, from now on you do n’t have to worry about someone coming to assassinate you. When Imperial Capital, I will arrange Reidy to lurk next to you. If that Great Sword Master assassin comes back, then we will know who he is. Send him here, "Lorist said.

"Well, thank you, Locke."
