In order not to embarrass Allen too much, Orlando smiled and waved his hand as he watched him coax a few women to drink a few glasses of wine. "Alright, alright, I was just joking. You guys disperse. We have something serious to talk about. You can drink any wine in this room, but whoever wants to talk, be careful that I pull out your tongues. "
A woman in her mid-twenties said sadly, "Young Master Orlando, you are really willing to part with it. Our tongues are not as simple as just speaking."
Nairi frowned when she heard the pun in her tone. Those women who were used to living a life of wine and green and extravagance all laughed. They were presumptuous, but they also knew that they had to stop when they were good. After a burst of laughter, they dispersed and sat together in twos and threes, giving Orlando and Allen room to talk. Orlando was not in a hurry. He first called for food, and the two of them ate while talking.
"Eat, eat. When you get to the imperial capital, don't think you can eat to your heart's content." Orlando stabbed a piece of beef tenderloin with a fork and threw it into his mouth without being afraid of the heat. He blinked his eyes and smiled, "I know you're not going to the Northern Capital for a mere count like His Highness Julian." The old man wants you to fight one by one until you get into the eyes of Targaryen Great Emperor. It's a good idea, but it's also a stupid one. I have a smart man's idea. It's a shortcut to climb the ladder. Do you want to hear it? "
Allen looked at him and said, "If there is such a shortcut, why don't you go yourself?"
"Do you think I don't want to?" Orlando sighed deliberately and said, "I can't. There's nothing I can do. Who told me to be Hoey's son? Who told the old man to agree to Earl Oban's request? Otherwise, he wouldn't have let you off so easily. Hey, do you want to listen? "
"Your mouth is on your face. Do you want to say it or not?"
"You're really a good person. Alright, I'll suffer a loss. Who told me to keep my mouth shut?" Orlando smiled and said, "Do you know the four dukes of the empire?"
Allen nodded.
"Do you know Elizabeth?"
"Nonsense, isn't it Grand Duke Yuan Hua, the Duchess?" Allen rolled his eyes at him. If he didn't even know this, he would be too ignorant.
"That's right, it's our Iris Duchess, Elizabeth. But probably no one knew that the current Duke of Iris Flower was only in his early twenties. How about it? I don't need to say anymore, right? "Orlando winked.
The Empire's Four Dukes were all hereditary, and among them, Sword Lord Mason was the strongest and was one of the Ten Sages. The other three Dukes were obviously not as well-known as this Sword Noble, especially the only Duchess within four kilometers, Elizabeth. Even the intelligence gathered by Dark Blade only knew her name, and nothing else. Now that he heard from Orlando that the Archduchess was actually so young, he was shocked, but also vaguely felt that Orlando's words were somewhat malicious.
Orlando sighed, "If it's power and status, what shortcut is faster than marrying our Grand Duchess Elizabeth? With the support of the Boleyn Family, it's hard for you not to be a minister. "
Allen sneered, "I'm afraid everyone knows about your so-called shortcut, right?"
Orlando was thick-skinned and shrugged, "Indeed. Those who want to pursue this Grand Duchess can line up all over the Golden Bridge. Unfortunately, Elizabeth doesn't like any of them. I guess she's tired of those northern men. Maybe she'll like you as soon as you go to Bei Du. When the time comes, don't forget me, the one who gave you advice. "
Allen lost his voice and said, "Is this considered advice?"
"Why wouldn't it count?!" Orlando glared.
Then the two of them laughed.
Orlando shook his head. He laughed until tears came out. As he laughed, he suddenly sighed, "Lord Allen, you don't know how much I envy you. Everyone thinks that I'm the son of the iron spear, born with a golden key in my mouth, but who knew that we, father and son, haven't been happy all these years. You're still the best. I want to go to Bei Du to take a look. However, for the sake of our Majesty's peace of mind, the old man probably won't give me this chance in this lifetime. "
Allen was speechless.
Orlando suddenly said in a deep voice, "I know Jorah likes you."
Allen's hand suddenly stopped in midair and paused for a moment before grabbing the cup. Orlando laughed and shook his head. "It doesn't matter. Before Jorah, I also had a few good women. It's fair. Besides, I believe that after marriage, she will only think of me. As for you, Allen, scram! "
"If I can't even do this, then I'm really useless."
After that, the two of them no longer lingered on this topic. After eating and drinking to their heart's content, it was already late. Orlando paid the bill. In order to avoid attracting attention, the three of them left through the back door of the tavern. The carriage was already waiting by the door. The three of them got into the carriage and drove towards the main street.
Unexpectedly, they were blocked as soon as they arrived at the entrance of the tavern. It was surrounded by people, and they didn't know what was going on. Seeing that the carriage was not moving, Orlando frowned and jumped out of the carriage. Seeing his arrogance, Allen shook his head and got out of the carriage as well, but he left Nairi in the carriage. To prevent passers-by from seeing Nairi's beauty, it would only cause more trouble.
On the other side, Orlando had already dragged a few people out of the crowd. Allen saw him say a few words to someone, but he didn't use his playboy nature to disperse the crowd. Instead, he folded his hands and looked like he was watching the show. He walked over and asked with a frown, "What's wrong?"
"Nothing much. It's an old story. The local snake and the river dragon don't like each other and want to fight." Orlando said with a relaxed expression and pouted at the crowd.
Probably because they knew that he, the number one noble young master of Yedega, was present, the people who were originally standing in front of him spread out to the sides, allowing Orlando and Allen to see clearly. The situation in the field was very obvious. A group of men who were obviously local residents surrounded the three men fiercely. Among the three of them, one of them was tall and handsome. Although he didn't carry any weapons on him, he stood with a pen and his entire body exuded a sharp spear intent. Allen nodded and said, "That person uses a gun just like you."
Orlando wasn't surprised at all and said, "That's right, and it's not bad."
The other two, one of them was a tough guy, the other was dressed in black, a bit like Belmord. However, with a sword and two sabers on his back and waist, this outfit was something that Belmord couldn't flatter. As Allen looked at them, the black-clothed man turned his head and looked at Allen. The latter also looked away. However, when his gaze fell on Orlando's face, he was stunned. When he looked at Allen again, his gaze was somewhat different from before.
Orlando said, "Those three are the leader of the Frozen Moon Mercenary Group and two capable generals." Well, the one standing in the middle, who is only a little worse than me, is their leader, Fares. When this fellow entered the city, his appearance was not bad, and his spear skills were not bad. The old man also saw it and said that he had a bright future. The one in black is called Rui Jie. It seems that his saber skills and sword skills are not bad. However, he can't get on the stage. He's just an ordinary expert. On the other hand, it's that bad-tempered Lick. This fellow is so barbaric that it's really unpleasant to be targeted by him. "
"The Frozen Moon Mercenary Group was originally in the trade city of Satin. It seems that they offended a large mercenary group over there, so they came to our Iron Spear Leader. They were sincere enough to hunt an Ice Fang Beast for half sale and half gift. Right now, that Ice Fang has already taken its scales to make armor. Unfortunately, time is too tight. Otherwise, once I wear it at the wedding, the entire city's iron shops will have to make a batch of my white armor from the next day onwards. "
Allen shook his head. The fellow beside him was narcissistic and arrogant to a certain extent.
"The ones who are challenging Bing Yue and the others are the largest mercenary guild in Spear City, 'Shadow Chaser'. These guys are the local snakes I'm talking about. The competition in the same industry was fierce to begin with, not to mention that the foreign Frozen Moon was not weak. It was not surprising that Shadow Chaser would find trouble with them. In any case, as long as they don't go too far, we'll turn a blind eye. Well, if you want to go north, you might as well find Bing Yue to lead the way. At the very least, they are very familiar with the road to Satin. It's clear which route to take, so you can take fewer detours. "
After Orlando finished speaking, the people from Shadow Chaser finally stepped forward. The man called Fares stood motionless with his hands behind his back, looking rather graceful. The tough-tempered Lick rushed forward with a muffled roar and knocked him away, causing a few cries of alarm.
Orlando shrugged and said to Allen, "Let's go. Let's take a detour. Don't ruin their mood."
Allen glanced at him and said, "This doesn't seem like something you would do."
"It's just once in a while."
As a result, the carriage bypassed the crowd and gradually drove away.
The next day, Allen met Edward at another hotel in the city. Not only did Edward select some elites from the King Of Mountains Inch Fire to form a guard of about a hundred men, he also pulled a caravan over. There was no lack of old faces among the merchants in this caravan. The person in charge of the caravan was Sean, who should have been at Purple Roland Harbor. Sean was already fat, and now he was as fat as a meatball. He was filled with joy when he saw Allen. For this great merchant of Sur City, meeting Allen was simply an opportunity bestowed by fate. If it weren't for Allen, he wouldn't have been able to leave Sur City, let alone become a recognized big shot of the various merchant groups in Purple Roland Harbor.
Allen was also surprised to see the fatty. When he asked about Sean's recent situation, the fatty kept saying that it was good. After greeting a few other merchants, he and Edward walked into a quiet room. Allen asked, "What are you going to do?"
"Obviously, I want to tell the merchants of the entire empire that a brand new trade route full of opportunities will appear in front of them." Edward pointed calmly outside the door, "As long as Sean's caravan arrives in the Northern Capital, it will be more useful than any publicity. At that time, I'm afraid even His Highness the Prince will have to rush to befriend us. Do you believe it? "
"Believe it." Allen supported his forehead and said, "But you probably don't know that our trip north this time probably won't be too smooth."
Edward disagreed, "When have we ever had a smooth journey? If there's an injustice in the road, just flatten it. How big of a deal is it? "
Allen gave him a thumbs up, "Alright, you're more heroic than me."
