Chapter 961 Shortcut

Without embarrassing Allen too much, after watching him drink a few glasses of wine for several women, Orlando waved his hand with a smile and said: "Okay, okay, I was just joking. ?.? `You are gone Come on, let's talk about something serious. You can drink freely in this room, but whoever wants to talk, be careful, I will pull out your tongue."

A woman in her mid-twenties said plaintively, "Young Master Orlando, you are so willing, our tongues are not only good at talking."

The pun in the tone made Nellie frown. Those women who are used to the feasting and debauchery and the luxury of money will all laugh. They are presumptuous, but they also know what to expect. After a burst of laughter, they spread out and sat together in twos and threes, allowing Orlando and Allen room to talk. Orlando was not in a hurry, first he called for a meal, and the two talked while eating.

"Eat it, eat it. When you get to the imperial capital, you don't want to eat it to your heart's content." Orlando inserted a piece of beef tenderloin with a fork, and threw it into his mouth without fear of being hot. He blinked and said with a smile: "I know that when you go to the northern capital, you are definitely not planning to be a mere earl under His Royal Highness Julian. The old man wants you to meet and fight one by one until it falls into the eyes of Emperor Targaryen. It is a good way, It's also a stupid way. I have a smart man's way, which is a shortcut to 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 by yourself?"

"You think I don't want to?" Orlando sighed deliberately: "I can't, I can't help it. Who told me to be Hoy's son. Who told the old man to agree to Count Aubain's request, otherwise, I won't be cheap for you Well. Hey, can you listen to me?"

"Your mouth is on your face, you can say what you like."

"You are really good at being cheap, and I'm at a disadvantage, who can't control my mouth." Orlando said with a wicked smile: "Do you know the fourth prince of the empire?"

Allen nodded.

"And do you know Elizabeth?"

"Nonsense, isn't it the Grand Duke Yuanhua, the Duchess?" Allen rolled his eyes at him directly. If he didn't even know this, he would be too ignorant. ??`

"That's right, it's our Iris Duke Elizabeth. But probably no one knows that this generation of Iris Dukes is in their early twenties. How about it, don't I need to go on?" Orlando winked.

The four lords of the empire are all hereditary, and among them, Mason, the swordsman, has the strongest combat power and ranks among the ten saints. The other three dukes are obviously not as well-known as this sword lord, especially Elizabeth, the only duchess in four kilometers. Even the information collected by Dark Blade only knows one name, and no other information is known. Now that Orlando learned that the Grand Duchess is so young, while surprised,

I also vaguely sensed some malicious intentions in Orlando's words.

Orlando sighed: "If the goal is power and status, what shortcut is faster than the Grand Duke Elizabeth who married us. With the support of the Boleyn family, it is difficult for you not to be an extremely powerful minister."

Allen sneered and said, "I'm afraid everyone knows about your so-called shortcut, right?"

Orlando was also thick-skinned, shrugging his shoulders and said: "That's true. The Golden Bridge can be filled with people who want to pursue the Grand Duchess, but it's a pity that Elizabeth doesn't like any of them. I guess she is tired of those northern men. Maybe you As soon as you go to the northern capital, she will take a fancy to you. When the time comes, you will be prosperous, don't forget me, the person who advises you."

Allen lost his voice: "Is this considered a suggestion?"

"Why not!" Orlando stared.

Then the two laughed.

Orlando shook his head, he laughed until tears came out, he smiled, but suddenly turned into a sigh: "Lord Alan, you don't know how much I envy you. Everyone thinks that I am the son of the iron gun, with a smile in my mouth The golden key was born, but who knows that our father and son have not lived happily these years..? `c?om is still hello, if you say go north, go north, I also want to visit the northern capital. But for the peace of mind of our majesty, the old man I should never have this opportunity in my life.”

Allen was speechless for a moment.

Orlando suddenly said in a deep voice, "I know Ruola likes you."

Allen's hand to get the wine glass suddenly stopped in mid-air, and he paused before holding the glass. Orlando laughed, shook his head and said, "It doesn't matter. Before Ruola, I also had a few good women, which is fair. Besides, I believe that after marriage, she will only think about me. As for you, Ellen, go away go!"

"If I can't even do this, then I'm really useless."

Afterwards, the two of them stopped entangled in this topic, and they ate and talked. After drinking and eating, it was getting late. Orlando paid the bill, and the three of them left through the back door of the tavern to avoid attracting attention. The carriage was waiting by the door, the three got into the carriage, and the carriage drove towards the street.

Unexpectedly, as soon as I walked around to the front of the tavern, it was blocked, but it was surrounded by people who didn't know what happened. Seeing that the carriage was not moving, Orlando frowned and jumped out of the carriage. Seeing his arrogance, Alan shook his head and got out of the carriage too, but let Nelly stay in the carriage. To prevent passers-by from seeing Nari's beauty, it will only increase trouble.

Over there, Orlando had dragged a few people out of the crowd. Seeing him talking to them, Allen didn't even disperse the crowd with his dandyism, but clasped his hands and looked like he was watching the excitement. He walked over, frowned and asked, "What?"

"It's nothing, it's an old drama. The local snake and the dragon crossing the river don't see each other right, so they're going to fight." Orlando said with a relaxed face, and pouted his lips at the crowd.

Probably knowing that he, the number one nobleman in Yedgar, was present, the people standing in front spread out to both sides, so that Orlando and Allen could see clearly. The situation in the field was obvious. A group of men who were obviously local residents surrounded the three men viciously. Among those three people, the one in the middle was tall and handsome. Although he didn't carry any weapons on his body, he was standing with a pen rest, and his whole body showed a sharp gun intent. Allen nodded and said, "That man uses a gun just like you."

Orlando was not surprised at all and said: "That's right, and it's used pretty well."

The other two, one was a tough guy, the other was dressed in black and black trousers, who looked a bit like Belmode. But with a sword and two knives on his back and waist, this outfit is beyond the reach of Belmode. When Alan looked at them, the man in black turned his head to look, Alan smiled slightly, and the latter looked away. But when his eyes fell on Orlando's face, he was taken aback, and then looked at Allen, his eyes were a little different from just now.

Orlando said: "Those three are the head of the Ice Moon Mercenary Group and two powerful generals. Well, the one standing in the middle who is only slightly worse than me is their head Fares. This guy entered the city at the time. At that time, he was good-looking, and his marksmanship was also good. The old man also saw it and said that he had a future. The man in black was called Ruijie, and he seemed to have good swordsmanship and swordsmanship. But he couldn’t make it to the stage. That grumpy Rick, he's such a brute, it's not a pleasant thing to keep an eye on him."

"The Ice Moon mercenary group was originally in the trading city of Sardinia. They seemed to have offended the big mercenary group over there, so they ran to our Iron Spear. They were also sincere, and they hunted a half ice tooth beast. Selling for half free. Now the ice teeth have been scaled to make armor, but it’s a pity that the time is too late, otherwise, once I wear it at the wedding, the iron shops in the whole city will have to make a batch of my white armor from the next day .”

Allen shook his head, the guy next to him had reached a certain level of narcissism and arrogance.

"The challenge with Bingyue and the others is the largest mercenary union in our gun city, 'Chasing Shadows'. These guys are what I call local snakes. The competition among peers is already fierce, not to mention that the foreign Bingyue is not weak, and Chasing Shadows will It’s not surprising to find trouble with them. Anyway, they don’t want to make too much trouble, so we just turn a blind eye. Well, if you want to go north, you might as well ask Bingyue to lead the way, at least on the way to Sardinia. It is very familiar. It is clear which route to take, which can save you from detours."

After Orlando finished speaking, the people chasing shadows over there finally stepped forward to make a move. The man named Fares didn't move his hands behind his hands, and he was quite graceful. The obviously very irritable tough guy Rick rushed forward with a muffled roar, knocking people away, causing several exclamations.

Orlando shrugged and said to Allen: "Let's go, let's make a detour, don't spoil people's interest."

Allen glanced at him and said, "This doesn't seem like something you would do."

"Occasionally."

So the carriage bypassed the crowd and drifted away.

The next day, Allen met Edward at another hotel in the city. Edward not only selected some elites from the Mountain King Cunhuo to form a guard team of about 100 people, but also brought in a caravan. There are many old faces among the merchants in this caravan, and the person in charge of the caravan is Sean who was supposed to be in Violet Harbor. Sean was already fat, but now he is as fat as a meatball. Seeing Alan was full of joy. For this big businessman in Sur City, meeting Allen was simply a chance given by fate. Without Alan, he still wouldn't be able to get out of Sur City, let alone become a recognized bigwig figure in various business groups in Violet Port.

Allen was also surprised to see the fat man. When asked about Sean's recent situation, the fat man kept saying yes. Then I met with several other businessmen and said hello before walking into a quiet room with Edward. Allen asked immediately, "What are you going to do?"

"Obviously, I want to tell the merchants of the entire empire that a brand-new business route full of opportunities will appear before their eyes." Edward pointed to the door indifferently: "As long as Sean's caravan arrives in the northern capital, what's the difference?" Propaganda works. At that time, I am afraid that even His Royal Highness will rush to establish friendship with us, believe it or not?"

"Xinxin." Alan supported his forehead and said, "But you probably don't know that our trip north this time may not be too smooth."

Edward didn't take it seriously: "Which time have we had smooth sailing? The road is uneven, but if it is leveled, what a big deal?"

Allen gave a thumbs up: "Okay, you are more arrogant than me."
