The owner of the mansion that Du Kang sneaked into was no one else, but the master of the arrogant and domineering servant he met earlier, the great businessman Du Lan
As the city lord of Chiyan City passed the order for crystal core acquisition, a large number of mercenaries from the southwest countries came to the city to dig gold. The large number of business opportunities brought by these people allowed Duran, who had controlled a large number of industries in Chiyan City, to make a fortune.
From bread to buying wine, to prostitutes and gambling, whether you are not searching for money-strapped mercenaries in your prey bag or lucky ones who have returned with a big fish, you have to spend some money in this Chiyan City. These industries covering all aspects of life have Durand.
Moreover, Duran obtained the news of the acquisition of crystal core through the servants around the city lord in advance. He spent a lot of money to buy various daily necessities from other cities in advance. He also deliberately made strange goods and raised prices. Naturally, he deducted a lot of coins from the hands of the gold diggers.
This time, Duran held a grand banquet for this big profit.
All the well-known figures in the city attended the banquet, and even the managers of Duran's name received the honor of attendance. They were able to attend together, but their status was more than the nobles in the city. The places they were staying were separated from those nobles by a thin pink curtain to show the difference.
Under the strange and magnificent lampshade, dark red, purple, and light pink flames intertwined. The aromatherapy mixed with the smell of musk was a little heavier than the smell in the guest room. It directly picked people's desire and the slutty sound was played. The singer just finished singing and immediately had a dancer wearing gauze and exposed clothes. Then she performed a seductive dance.
The rare beasts that have never been seen have been cooked into delicacies that emit a strong aroma and are allowed to be eaten by guests
Each guest attending the table either had a female companion before coming or came empty-handed. Naturally, there would be a girl in exposed clothes leaning forward to accompany her.
Du Kang, who was invisible to watch the many guests enjoying the wind, was envious and wished he would become one of the guests immediately. It’s a pity that he was dressed shabby and was not as luxurious as everyone here. Maybe he should think of a way to change his clothes and get through it.
As long as you do the superficial skill, those guests who are passionate and indifferent on the surface can probably not be seen. Guests who can enter the inner court seem to have to pass through layers of guards outside. You cannot come to the inside without invitations, so you relax your vigilance inside and no one checks whether they are real guests again.
Du Kang was about to leave to see if he could find an unused dress at the owner of the mansion to fish in the waters, but suddenly he saw a character like a messenger hurriedly entering the door and blew the trumpet. The music and dance stopped. The dancing dancers respectfully saluted the audience and then stayed quietly on the stage.
The guests looked at the door entering the inner court, and saw a middle-aged man with a majestic face, gorgeous clothes, and a fiery red robe slowly stepping in. Seeing this scene, the guests respectfully bent down to pay tribute to the person. The low-ranking dancer and male servant were even more imposing and saluted him in a humble posture.
Judging from this situation, is the person who came here the lord of Chiyan City?
It was not until the middle-aged man raised his hand to signal that all the people returned to the past and started singing and dancing again
After finishing the etiquette, the big-bellied businessman who seemed to be the master immediately hurriedly put it on and approached the middle-aged man who seemed to be the city lord. Du Kang happened to stand very close and heard the conversation between the two very clearly.
Lord Aubrey, did you not bring your wife and your son Nate today? Did I have any careless reception the day before yesterday?
The businessman's tone was very humble, for fear that he had neglected the noble city lord and caused his dissatisfaction, so he did not give him face.
No, Duran, Aubrey Garcia looked tired, Nate was unwell and it was not convenient to come to your banquet, Marlene wanted to take care of Nate, so she didn't come, I just came to attend for a while, so I won't go back
The shrewd Duran captured the fatigue on the city lord's face. He knew that this was the result of the city lord's exhaustion in raising war materials recently. When did he not flatter the city lord at this time?
Duran showed a flattering but not annoying smile at Lord Aubrey. Obviously, he put a lot of effort into the details. He snapped his fingers at the waiter on one side, and the waiter immediately left the room. In less than ten seconds, he held a piece of exquisite parchment, respectfully lowered his head, stood in front of Lord Aubrey, raised the parchment over his head, and presented it.
Lord Aubrey, I have prepared a special gift list for you, please read it carefully
The parchment slowly unfolded in the waiter's humble posture. Lord Aubrey had just looked at two lines, and the fatigue on his face was wiped out, showing a surprise expression. When Duran saw his reaction, he knew that he had flattered the right place this time, and then said: Lord City Lord, after I knew that you were raising war supplies, I immediately bought various supplies from other neighboring cities, including weapons and armor, magic props. I hope you can be satisfied!
After hearing Duran’s statement, Aubrey leaned with Duran excitedly, took his shoulder and patted him on the shoulder. Duran, I knew you were reliable!
When Du Kang saw this scene, he only thought that Aubrey was slapped by flattery. This bribery made him so satisfied, but Du Kang didn't know the inside story of the upcoming war between Chiyan City and Yanshan City.
In the 100 years of the booming development of mankind, the power of the southwest countries has gradually formed the prototype of three forces. Chiyan City is the head of one of them, while Yanshan City is a strong supporter of another faction.
There are also a large number of other city-states that maintain a neutral attitude, with both ends of rats and gaining benefits at both ends, but refuse to join any camp.
Aubrey Garcia believes that in time, the southwest countries will inevitably become as developed as the eastern part of Avelon, so he urgently wants to improve the status of Chiyan City and establish a great contribution as a kingdom.
Now, taking advantage of the fact that the power has not been clearly divided, Aubrey wants to take advantage of the situation, take the initiative first, grab land, first incorporate a large number of cities into his own camp, and then roll a snowball with his momentum. With the powerful alliance strength, he will attract more countries to join, and then use his identity as the leader of the alliance to seize benefits, so that Chiyan City can develop rapidly, thereby annexing all directions, and finally abandon the name of the city-state and establish a new country
This time, Aubrey openly prepared for the war with Yanshan City, because he wanted to use Yanshan City's unjust actions to force several vague fence-bearers in the southwest countries to take sides. He was not only preparing to attack Yanshan City. In fact, if those undecisive countries refused to stand on the side of Chiyan City this time, Aubrey would defeat them together under the banner of secretly helping Yanshan City and take them into vassals as vassals under the banner of their secret help.
If they participated in the attack on Yanshan City with Chiyan City, given the important position of Yanshan City's land salt mines in the southwest region, the alliance where Yanshan City is located will definitely not be able to swallow this. It is obviously forcing them to turn their faces on the alliance where Yanshan City is located. Then these swaying small countries also have to join Chiyan City's command and accept the protection of Chiyan City.
Seeing Aubrey's relaxed expression, Duran snickered, then straightened the color and whispered: These gifts can be handed over to the Lord of the City, but before that, I personally have a small request.
What requirements? When Aubrey saw this massive amount of supplies, he was in a sexual position. At this time, as long as Duran made a request, he would agree. So Aubrey suggested: Do you want your son to be the chairman of the Chamber of Commerce Alliance?
The former chairman of the Chamber of Commerce Alliance should have appeared on Duran’s invitation list, but he just passed away not long ago, and the seats he left were temporarily vacant. Aubrey was wondering whether Duran wanted his members to take on this position.
Duran smiled and shook his head, saying: Although it really made me feel honored, that false name seems to be worse than the supplies I provided. What I want is another thing
Oh? Aubrey shook his face. The chairman of the Chamber of Commerce Alliance had the final decision and various important powers to determine whether the price was reasonable. It was not something Duran said that a false name could represent. He didn't even take this huge price seriously. So what exactly did he want?
Aubrey couldn't help but hesitate a little. If Duran offered a price too high, he would have to refuse the merchant's assistance.
What do you want?
Seeing that Aubrey's emotions had been stirred up by him, Duran smiled and said with a smile: What I want is for the city lord to let go of his business, relax for a night, and be prepared to defeat Yanshan City. After all, the most critical thing about the soldiers in Chiyan City is you!
Aubrey, who was revealed, suddenly realized and couldn't laugh, and had to laugh, "You Ah, you are such a flatterer!" Having said that, Aubrey was obviously very helpful. There was no trace of disgust on his expression, but he completely relaxed: OK, okay, since you said that, I have to give you enough face and stay here and enjoy it overnight!
After saying that, Aubrey, in Duran's eyes, strode forward happily, hugged a beautiful woman, picked a seat, and slowly enjoyed the luxury of the banquet.
Duran didn't look moved, smiled secretly, sat in the guest seat close to Aubrey, and focused on entertaining the noble city lord.
This time he made the city lord so happy and found out the city lord's tone again. He learned that the position of the chairman of the Chamber of Commerce Alliance was naturally reserved for his son. The city lord has always been generous, but he is soft and not hard. Apart from this position, he may not have to give him any other benefits. If he just exchanged the gifts on the gift list, he might not achieve the current effect. Now the result is higher than expected, so he is naturally extremely happy.
Du Kang, who had no idea of the internal reason, saw the two of them bragging about their business, felt disgusted, and slipped out of the banquet and focused on finding luxurious clothes so that he could get into the banquet.
As soon as Du Kang left, a young servant brought in by the Lord of Obry, with a pale face and sweating on his forehead. He covered his stomach and leaned on the ground, asking to go home. Seeing this scene, subtle displeasure crossed Duran's cheek. He was afraid that the servant would ruin the good interest of Lord of Obry that he finally mentioned. The Lord of Obry had just received a batch of gifts from Duran. He was in a good mood and didn't care. He waved his hand and asked the other two servants to help him up, instructed them to send the little servant with stomachache back to his mansion, and gave them a few rewards of one gold coins each, so that they could take good care of their health.
Seeing that the city lord was not angry, Duran retreated with an undetectable displeasure on his face, continued to sit beside Aubrey, clapped his palms, signaling the dancer on the stage to restart the song and re-perform the scene that Aubrey just missed.
Du Kang slipped out of the internal banquet room, and in a blink of an eye he ran into a drunk young man who was helped into the room by a maid. Du Kang thought to take off his dog skin while he was drunk, but the other party did not fall asleep when he entered the room. After the maid helped him to the bed, he sat up on his own, shook and vomited himself, and said dizzy: No, I have to go out to discuss business with them. Get me a new dress.
Hearing this, I guess the young man is probably Duran's son
The maid could only helplessly take out a brand new dress for him from the cloakroom equipped in the luxurious room. As soon as he got close to the man, he could no longer hold on and fell asleep. At this time, the maid's face was full of distress. She could only hang the newly brought clothes on the hood rack next to it, then took off the clothes for the man, sent them to the bed, covered the quilt, and then walked out with the clothes stained by the vomit.
Du Kang's figure slowly appeared. Of course, he would not be stupid enough to take away the clothes left by the maid. If the man woke up and found the maid to confront him, Du Kang, wearing this dress, would be embarrassed.
So Du Kang sneaked into the cloakroom where the maid just entered, and chose another set of clothes that were a little dusty and didn't look like they were wearing often, and put them on his body.
The clothes were a little tight for Du Kang, but they were pretty suitable. After looking in the mirror, Du Kang felt that he was also awkward, so he went out of the door with a swagger and ran to the banquet to eat and drink.
As the city lord of Chiyan City passed the order for crystal core acquisition, a large number of mercenaries from the southwest countries came to the city to dig gold. The large number of business opportunities brought by these people allowed Duran, who had controlled a large number of industries in Chiyan City, to make a fortune.
