Chapter Three Hundred and Twenty-Three Microservice Tour (Part 2)
The coastal province, the boundary under the jurisdiction of the Governor Cons.
Hundreds of thousands of young and strong slaves were working hard to build roads. With the hard work of these slaves, the spacious and thick roads were extending across the territory of the Governor Cons at a speed of several kilometers a day.
Those who walk along these roads are groups of civilians who either escape the war, regardless of the distance, and go through hardships to seek a stable life.
These people either knew that the Cons army hierarchy existed, brought all family members and wealthy families, and came to naturalized merchants, powerful people, or noble families in advance.
In addition to these well-informed people who are rushing to naturalize and become naturalized, the most common ones on the road are businessmen running around the world with carriages.
To be honest, these merchants like the Cons army very much. For nothing else, one is that the trade taxes within the sphere of influence of the Cons army are low, and the other is that the Cons army is generous with wallets. As long as there are goods they like, they will never care about the price.
After a while, these merchants even advocated to others everywhere that they wished the Cons Legion would recover the coastal province as soon as possible so that they could do business with peace of mind.
At this time, Cons and Xiangwen were riding on the horse, and they rode their horses in a relaxed manner and trotted on the road.
Compared to the past when hundreds or thousands of people were surrounded by him, Cons prefers such a free and comfortable feeling, stop whenever he wants and leave whenever he wants.
To be honest, the last time I could live such a comfortable life was so long that I almost couldn't remember when it was.
Seeing the relaxed and comfortable appearance of his own master, Xiang Wen couldn't help but smile with relief.
Anyway, all military and political affairs have been properly arranged, so why not let the Lord rest for a few days? As for security issues, who would really think that the Lord is the only one around him? Without a large number of secret guards, it would be that he, the general, has dereliction of duty.
The reason why Xiang Wen and Cons went on their own was because Cons didn't know what was going on when the battle ended, and suddenly he prepared to leave the inner guard's follower and return to the governor's mansion on his own.
This decision scared the inner guards and tried to persuade them to death. The lord's itinerary was not aware of such a matter, so the only one who could dissuade Cons' decision was the inner guard system.
The very considerate photo text, when I saw that Cons was very moved and did not want to make things difficult for his subordinates, I couldn't help but agree with Cons' wish to travel alone.
He is in charge of the secret guard system and is not afraid of any dangers that Cons will encounter in his territory. He has a deep understanding of the secret guard abilities and dares to use his head to guarantee it. However, the secret guard has only one requirement, that is, he has to follow Cons to serve him.
Since Cons' intention was to quietly observe the changes in his territory and take the opportunity to think about the policy, as long as there were not so many people around him.
So he agreed without thinking about Xiangwen's request. In this way, Cons and Xiangwen broke away from the inner guard and began a leisurely journey.
Although Xiang Wen wore a weapon, his flower-like beauty attracted a large number of crazy bees and butterflies along the way. However, after seeing the level badge on Xiang Wen’s bra, these frivolous boys immediately restrained themselves, saluted respectfully, and then gave way respectfully.
In fact, in order not to cause trouble, Cons and Xiangwen only wore the lowest warrior badge at this time. Such a level will neither scare people nor cause trouble, saving a lot of trouble.
At noon, Cons and Xiangwen were having a break in a small roadside teahouse. As soon as they entered the door, the guests in the teahouse immediately became furious after seeing the badges of the two. They bowed and knelt on the ground. After a lively greeting and sent the enthusiastic Shangs and Xiangwen, Cons and Xiangwen were finally able to eat something quietly and drink tea.
"Master, you didn't mean to occupy the eastern boundary of the province in a short period of time, why did you stop acting after only five pieces of territory? The warlords who pretended to be crazy could only run back to their nests in great depression."
Xiang Wen asked in a low voice.
At this time, the people around were already retreating in the corner, not afraid of being heard. Even if they were heard, it was nothing great. Under the strict hierarchy, who dared to gossip?
Cons smiled: "Although it is a short time, it cannot be so short that it can occupy so much territory in less than a month. Eating too much will cause indigestion. The five newly added lands alone are enough for us to digest and organize for a while."
"That's true." Xiang Wen nodded in agreement, then remembered something and said: "By the way, the secret guards who monitored Celtic reported that there was an amazing discovery that Celtic actually had a hookup with the fourth prince."
"Well, the fourth prince, who occupies four provinces including Vinci, has the strongest strength among many princes? How did they form a relationship?" Cons was very surprised. If there were so many princes, princesses and nobles, who would have to ask Cons who care most, it must be this fourth prince.
Cons once ordered the Secret Guard to collect information about the Fourth Prince. After reading the information, Cons couldn't help frowning because the information was too simple.
Before the warlords' separatist rule, the fourth prince had no outstanding points at all and was completely unknown. However, once the warlords were divided, the fourth prince immediately became the most powerful warlord.
According to common sense, the Fourth Prince should not have such a powerful force. You must know that the Fourth Prince is only seventeen or eighteen years old! Such a force and connections cannot be established without more than ten years.
However, from the information, these forces are indeed dominated by the Fourth Prince, and the troops he gathers are all loyal to him, not other forces or his mother tribe.
Speaking of the fourth prince's mother clan, he was just a very ordinary earl noble on the surface, so ordinary that he caught a lot of people in the previous imperial capital. However, it was because it was too ordinary that people didn't believe his ordinaryness.
According to Cons, this fourth prince's mother clan, who is not visible and undisturbed, is likely to be the one who lays the foundation for the fourth prince. He just can't find any information to prove it.
Although this matter cannot be found at all, the secret guards cannot be blamed for being useless, mainly because the emperors are not their own territory, and in the destruction of military information, the databases of many noble families also caught fire, causing many truths to be destroyed.
"Lord, after listening to the conversation between Celtic and the messenger of the fourth prince, I realized that Celtic was the fourth prince before he defected to the seventh prince. However, now the mountain is high and the emperor is far away, Celtic's wings are hard and not very obedient, so the two sides have some conflicts." Xiang Wen said.
"Hmm? I remember the information said that when the Seventh Prince was twelve years old, Celtic became a member of the Seventh Prince faction under the command of the Seventh Prince's mother tribe.
"So, was Celtic already the Fourth Prince's member at that time? The Fourth Prince should have been only fourteen years old at that time. At this age, he got allegiance from Celtic. It's really hard to believe." Cons shook his head with emotion.
Xiang Wen also sighed: "The royal bloodline of the Ultraman Empire is so strange. With the weak body of the late emperor, he can actually give birth to more than a dozen children with lush branches and leaves.
"The last emperor has fifty or six pairs of princes and princesses of the same age, and the oldest prince is only nineteen, twenty years old, but the youngest one is born before his death.
"But these princes and princesses who are almost young and young, began to learn how to arrange long-term plans, how to wear masks and behave in a human being, and how to frame others quietly and silently.
"Like the seventh prince who we thought was already a puppet, he was able to win over a group of people under Celtic's noses and not be discovered by Celtic. He is really even more terrifying than the old fox. All these royal people are not human!"
Cons nodded speechlessly. When they were so young, they probably only knew how to think about what to do to fill their stomachs. How could they think of such complex things?
While chewing things slowly, Cons found a middle-aged man wearing civilian clothes but with obvious characteristics of mountain people walked into the teahouse.
When the teahouse owner saw this customer who looked very honest and easy to cheat, he couldn't help but immediately smiled brightly and greeted him.
In fact, to be honest, the most popular thing for these small business merchants is customers from other places.
Why do you say that? Because the lower three people have no money, the upper three people have a arrogant attitude and are easily blocked by anger. They dare not complain in person, so they can only be grandson obediently, which is really a hold of breath.
As for the warriors and scribes? It is a very painful thing to entertain them every time. Not to mention that these people are picky about tea, water, wine, food, etc., if there are such people in the store, unless people of the same identity will come in, no customers will dare to come to the door!
And I have to be worried all the way, fearing that the inadequate hospitality will cause trouble.
Although these people are generous in giving money, they are willing to pay for money rather than entertain them, because they will be short of a few years of life each time. Unfortunately, they cannot refuse, because it is also a disaster.
But those who are not naturalized outsiders are different. They can treat them as real guests. They can be fooled if they can, deceive if they can, slaughter if they can, and slaughter if they can, and come whatever they want! It is definitely a top-notch hospitality that can make people happy physically and mentally.
The mountain man just responded casually with the boss and began to carefully look at the guests in the teahouse. When his eyes noticed the badge of Cons and Xiang's bra, his eyes lit up.
Seeing this look, he paid attention to his articles as soon as the mountain man appeared and immediately pressed down on his sword.
Although he knew clearly that this mountain man could not even stop him, let alone murdering the Lord, the responsibility of the guard was to eliminate all dangers.
The mountain man also noticed Xiang Wen's hostility and waved his hand and said, "Don't get me wrong, I'm not hostile."
"What do you want to do?" Xiang Wen asked with his eyes narrowed.
"Uh, are you the subordinates of Governor Cons?" the mountain man asked carefully.
"Yes, I don't know what's wrong with you?" Cons waved his hand to Xiang Wen first, telling him not to be like this, and then asked gently.
"That's great, finally someone is willing to ask me what's wrong." The mountain man said with a simple smile on his face.
"Well, don't worry, sit down and say, the boss will serve tea." Cons said politely.
The boss secretly scolded Constable in his heart, which made his chance to slaughter sheep disappear, but his face still had a flattering smile, and he was happily sending tea.
The mountain man was not polite and picked up the tea and poured it in one breath. Then he took a breath and said hurriedly: "I am here to do business with Governor Cons."
Hearing this, not only Cons and Xiangwen, but also the guests who were pricking their ears and eavesdropping around them, the boss, all stared at the eyes wide open and opened their mouths in a daze.
However, except for Cons and Xiangwen, everyone else quickly burst into laughter, making the mountain people confused.
The mountain people were laughed for a while and found that these guys were still not stopping. Finally, their eyes were on fire and shouted: "What are you laughing at? What do you think I am worth laughing about?"
I was startled by the loud voice of the mountain people and forced everyone to smile back.
At this moment, others were breathing, but the boss was already breathing, pointing at the mountain man and saying, "I said, "Aren't you, do you know what you said just now? You actually said you want to do business with the Governor! Didn't we insist on laughing at you, do you have the qualification to do business with the Governor?"
"Qualification?" The mountain man first touched his head in confusion, then thought of something, and patted his thigh in surprise and said, "I have this qualification. The big businessman who has been doing business with our tribe all year round said that our goods can only be made with the most powerful and richest people in the coastal province. Tell me, is the most in the coastal province the governor?"
There is no need to say that the governor is a fake marshal. If he ranks by official position, he is a general in addition to the marshal. Not to mention traveling to the coastal provinces, even the five or six surrounding provinces are the largest.
And this is the territory of the governor. Even if it is not the largest, who dares to shake his head? Except for Cons and the mountain man, everyone, including Xiang Wen, nodded violently like a chicken eating rice.
"Okay, you admit that the governor is the largest. So is the governor the richest in the coastal province?"
The mountain man asked with his fingers smugly.
According to the inference that warlords are all rich people, the governor of the largest warlord should be the richest, right? Ordinary guests nodded a little hesitantly.
The boss and other merchants in the store nodded violently. Who doesn’t know that the subordinates of the governor are so proud to buy things. Can they be so proud if they don’t have money?
As for Xiangwen, he had the most intuitive impression of whether Cons was the richest.
Recalling the scene of accompanying Cons to visit the vault, he couldn't help but nod. Seeing Xiangwen also involved, Cons couldn't help but smile helplessly and shook his head.
"Haha, how about it? You nodded and admitted these two conditions. So what's wrong with me asking the Governor to do business? What's so funny?" The mountain man shouted with wide eyes and wide open his mouth.
The boss resisted the action of trying to cover his ears and asked curiously: "Outsiders, you said that this business can only be done with the most powerful and richest people. What kind of business is this? Let's talk about it, do you really need the Supervisor to do business with you."
The mountain man stared at the boss calmly, looking at his frowning, obviously thinking about whether to say it out, which made everyone prick up their ears, but until the boss was seen and got angry, the mountain man didn't speak.
However, just as the boss was about to start cursing, the mountain man said a bit silly with a tough look on his face: "I won't tell you."
