- Duke Brant's envoy
"Baron, please get up quickly! Duke Brant has sent his envoy, who is now in the castle hall. The butler asked me to inform you immediately."
In the early morning, Lin Fenghan was lying comfortably on the big bed, enjoying the warm sunshine in the morning. Suddenly, a crisp sound woke him up from his warm sleep.
"What? Brandt's envoy actually came, but it was too late. I have been worrying about the problem of dealing with prisoners this week, and he came just in time."
"By the way, where did Long Zimei go?" Lin Fenghan opened his eyes drowsily, touched his face, and looked around fluffily.
"Ms. Long got up very early. She was practicing martial arts in the garden and is now preparing to have breakfast. She seems to know your friend Ali." Lingdang said in confusion.
"Oh! Long Zimei actually knows Ali. What a coincidence. Is breakfast ready?" Lin Fenghan put on his robe calmly and asked in surprise.
"It's now seven-thirty, the chefs have prepared a sumptuous breakfast, and only you, Lord Lord, are left to appear." Zingdang said softly.
"Well! Very good, help me invite Lady Elizabeth and Ambassador Duke Brant. I'm going to wash up first." Lin Fenghan walked into the bathroom next to the bedroom and said softly.
"yes!"
¡¡
"Mrs. Elizabeth! Mr. Ambassador! Uncle Ali! Miss Long Zimei! Good morning!" Lin Fenghan, wearing a purple robe, slowly walked into the restaurant and said with a gentle smile.
A man in his thirties or forties, with shoulder-length blond hair, a gentle face and wearing a purple robe, took up the chair in the dining room and said softly: "Hello, Baron Elantra! I am the envoy of Duke Brant. Sir Rufus.¡±
"Hello Sir Karufo! I think you arrived so early and haven't had breakfast yet, right? Let's finish breakfast first and talk about business, okay?" Lin Fenghan responded softly with a faint smile.
"Okay! Thank you very much, Baron, for the invitation." Karufo nodded gently and sat down slowly.
"Good nephew? When did you meet Long Zimei's niece? Why didn't I see her yesterday?" Ali chuckled, stood up gracefully, patted Lin Fenghan's shoulder, and asked strangely.
"Uncle! How did you meet Long Zimei? The question you asked is to ask your niece Long Zimei. Why didn't she come to meet us last night?" Lin Fenghan raised an eyebrow and smiled, looking at Long Zimei slyly.
"Last night? Could that be" Long Zimei puffed up her face angrily, and suddenly looked at Ali with enlightenment.
"I once met Long Zimei and her father when I traveled to the islands in the East China Sea. What happened last night?" Ali looked at Lin Fenghan and Long Zimei in confusion, wondering why Long Zimei appeared here. here.
"Mrs. Elizabeth has taken the liberty to invite you here. I would like to beg you to stay here for a while. I would like to ask you to help me with something, okay?" Lin Fenghan looked at Elizabeth with a solemn expression and said seriously.
"Okay! But we have to do it as soon as possible. We will set off after the fleet has rested in the afternoon." Elizabeth nodded doubtfully and said clearly.
"Fine, thank you."
"Chef, serve the food!" Lin Fenghan nodded with satisfaction, clapped his hands gently, and a row of beautiful maids immediately walked into the restaurant carrying plates.
"Wow! Egg drop soup!"
¡°Fried beef slices!¡±
¡°Spicy potato shreds!¡±
¡°Sausage and chive bread!¡±
¡°Caviar!¡±
"Fried shrimp!"
¡¡
"My dear nephew, breakfast is so good, uncle, you're welcome." Ali chuckled and wiped his mouth with a napkin, then stretched out his hands to grab the breakfast like a hungry wolf.
¡¡
Sir Calufo and Lady Elizabeth looked blankly at the lavish Ali, while Long Zimei was also extremely unaccustomed to eating her breakfast.
"Baron Elante, it seems that your friend has never had such a good morning meal. Such an appetite really makes me envious!" Karufo smiled softly, picked up the knife and fork and said jokingly.
"Sir Carufo, this friend of mine has been imprisoned by pirates for a long time. He is indeed a little rude. Please forgive me!" Lin Fenghan smiled awkwardly and took a mouthful of polenta to compress his airway.
The breakfast ended with Ali yelling. During the meal, Ali's madness made Lin Fenghan and others embarrassed. As soon as the breakfast was over, Lin Fenghan couldn't wait to say: "Uncle Ali, you and Miss Long Zimei go and talk first, Mrs. Elizabeth , please wait in the living room for a while. Sir Carufo, come to the study with me."
"Sir Carufo, you have come from the far southern region. I think we should discuss the matters between me and Duke Brant now. What I want to ask you is whether Duke Brant has authorized you to be the plenipotentiary. It can resolve all the issues between us and sign the contract." Lin Fenghan sat on the chair with a serious face and looked at Sir Karufo across the desk seriously.
"Sorry, Your Excellency, Duke Brant only granted me the drafting and signing of most contracts. As for important matters, I still have no decision-making power, but I believe that I can perfectly resolve the current disputes between you and Duke Brant, such as the last invasion. Peace between the prisoners and you and the Duke." Karufu stretched out his hands with a smile and said straight to the point.
"Well! I also like peace, but the seeds of hatred have been sown. Duke Brant's purpose is already obvious. Your Excellency, do you think Duke Brant will give up his long-planned plan that has cost a lot of money?" Lin Fenghan looked at Karufu calmly and asked.
"Unfortunately, Duke Brant has been coveting your family's territory for a long time. I can't dispel his will, but I can buy time for your territory to develop peacefully, and you only need to make a decision that is suitable for your noble family. Regarding the identity matter, we can achieve a win-win situation!" Kalufu said gently looking at Lin Fenghan.
"To do something consistent with noble status, you mean to release the prisoners! Do you think this is possible?" Lin Fenghan raised the corners of his mouth and stared sarcastically.
"It is entirely possible that if you release the prisoners, the soldiers you released will be very grateful to you, and their noble lords will also be grateful to you and praise you. Duke Brant will also give up his plan to completely annex your territory, as long as If you do this, I guarantee that you will get a ten-month truce period. During this period, if you can give up half of your land and be loyal to Duke Brant, then Duke Brant will never attack your city again. Territory." Kalufu said slowly while looking at Lin Fenghan.
¡°A truce for ten months?¡±
"Give up half of your territory?"
"Be loyal to the enemy who killed my father?"
"Sir, don't you think what you said is very ridiculous?" Lin Fenghan twitched the corners of his mouth, laughed loudly, and stared at Karufu with sharp eyes.
"Baron, I don't think this is ridiculous. I hope you can think about it carefully. Your power is too weak and you are no match for Duke Brant. You must know that the Duke has an army of 5,000 people. As long as he wants, he can recruit his nobles at any time and gather an army of 20,000 to 40,000. Frankly speaking, as long as the Duke takes you seriously, you will not be able to win at all." Karufu straightened his back and stood up with determination. Shi Lin Fenghan said.
"Ten months of peace? I heard that there was a rebellion in the territory directly under the jurisdiction of the Duke of Senvi Mountain. He has sent nearly 4,000 troops to maintain order. In addition, he has lost nearly 1,900 troops here. He still has more. Will his army come to attack me? Now in August, when winter comes, the temperature will drop, the grain harvest will drop, and coupled with the military and financial resources he needs to maintain peace in the territory, I dare to conclude that he will not be able to attack me for at least eight months. .¡±
"As for how much food is needed for an army of 20,000 to 40,000 people? Your Excellency, the messenger, there is no way you can intimidate me." Lin Feng smiled coldly and without hesitation revealed the dilemma Brandt was currently facing.
"Okay! Your Excellency Baron Elantra, since you don't like friendly peace, let's discuss the captives! We can pay a certain price to obtain your generosity from the Baron." Kalufu heard Lin Fenghan's sarcasm, He said quietly without being angry at all.
"Oh! That's what I meant. I captured more than 1,100 people on the battlefield. Because some people were seriously injured and unfortunately died, there are still more than 1,000 people. Our army has captured more than 1,000 people on the battlefield. More than 500 people died in battle, and more than 100 people died of serious injuries. There are more than 600 people in total. Each of you will be compensated 200 gold coins, totaling 120,000 gold coins for you. More than 1,000 prisoners will be 100 gold coins for each person. You will be counted as 100,000 gold coins. Noble officers will receive more than 500 gold coins. Gold coins, the village and castle you attacked, burned down and robbed are calculated as 200,000 gold coins. As long as you give me 400,000 gold coins, I will release all the prisoners immediately." Lin Fenghan lightly knocked on the table, picked up a quill and wrote quickly , said loudly.
"400,000 gold coins, Your Excellency Baron Elantra, this is naked blackmail. Your Excellency the Duke will not agree." Karufu stood up in surprise and pointed at Lin Fenghan angrily.
"Mr. Ambassador, please pay attention to your tone. The castle in my territory has been invaded and destroyed, and my people have been robbed, extorted, and insulted. What I am asking for is just to make up for these wounds. I have no suspicion of blackmailing you." Lin Fenghan sat on the chair, looked at Karufu coldly, and said calmly.
Karufu took a calm breath, patted his chest gently, and said quietly:"Your Excellency, Baron, I'm sorry, I'm too excited. With all due respect, no nobleman can agree to your conditions. You must know that the total annual income of Your Excellency the territory is only fifty gold coins, plus various expenses, so There is not much left. Before I left, I received an entrustment from the Duke. The maximum limit I will give you is 100,000 gold coins. I wonder if you can release most of the captive soldiers with 100,000 gold coins."
"No! Your Majesty the Messenger, if you don't compensate for other losses, I will not release an ordinary soldier."
"Of course, the exception is officers and nobles. If you want them, please wait for a while, and I will accompany you to get them." Lin Fenghan gently knocked on the table and said fearlessly.
"Okay! Baron, what you said to me will be conveyed to Duke Brant intact. I believe you will arouse the Duke's anger. I look forward to the next time the Duke comes to Elant Castle. Your Excellency's expression, I hope the Baron will not regret it when the time comes!" Karufu stared at Lin Fenghan's face, then gently bent down and walked out.
"Sir Calufo, I will never do anything I regret. I hereby welcome the Duke's anger, and I won't send it away!" Lin Feng coldly watched Calufo leave and laughed crazily.
¡¡
"Bell, please notify the steward immediately. Sir Karufu and I are going to the West City Military Camp to redeem the prisoners, and ask him to notify the army to line up to show the power of our Elante army."
"Inform me immediately of the housekeeper's nephew, Abby Jacobkin, and order him to come to the living room and wait for me." Lin Fenghan walked out of the study in high spirits, said quickly, and walked towards the small living room on the second floor.
"Mrs. Elizabeth, I'm really sorry for keeping you waiting for so long." Lin Fenghan bent down and nodded gently, looking at Elizabeth in a white dress with blond hair in amazement, especially the snow-white and crystal clear lady on her chest covered in a white scarf. The breasts made Lin Fenghan's heart flutter.
"Your Majesty, the Baron, is very polite. What can I do for you?" Feeling Lin Fenghan's gaze, Elizabeth frowned and closed the jade bis, gently crossing them on her chest.
"Elizabeth, please don't call me Baron. Can you please teach me Yi Liuyun? After all, I am also your savior!" Lin Fenghan looked at Elizabeth's increasingly tense eyebrows and said seriously.
"Okay! I asked you to come here because I have a very important thing to trouble you. You have heard it, right? I have a big conflict with Duke Brant of the southern territory of Dambreth. I am currently in conflict with the southern The transaction has been completely interrupted. Duke Brant also has great power in the north. The economy of my territory has been almost completely blocked. I want to use you to buy horses, wallets, ores, weapons, and ships. I don¡¯t know if you are willing. help me."
"You are the savior of our Tindor fleet. We are very happy to help you, but I don't know if I can buy those munitions. As for the ships, I'm sorry, we don't have many big ships. Cargo ships cannot be sold to You." Elizabeth stood up, considered it seriously, and said softly.
"Thank you Elizabeth, I will send my messenger Abby Jacobkin to buy supplies with you. The Elant family will be your forever friends from now on." Lin Fenghan stretched out his right hand and said sincerely.
Elizabeth hesitated for a moment, then slowly stretched out her white hands.
With white and white hands, weak and boneless, cold and lubricated, Lin Fenghan's blood surged and he said sincerely: "Elizabeth, can we be friends?"
Shaking her head slowly, Elizabeth took out her jade hand and walked slowly outside the house. Lin Fenghan said in despair: "Elizabeth, I will review the army in a moment. I hereby invite you and all the nobles in Tindor to participate. I hope you can arrive here before 9 o'clock."
"I will convey it."
¡¡
Looking at Elizabeth's beautiful figure, Lin Fenghan sang softly: "Guan Guan Jujiu, in the river continent. My fair lady, a gentleman loves to hunt. The water plants are mixed, flowing left and right. My fair lady, I long for her. I can't get it. , I sleep long and thoughtfully. I am leisurely and leisurely, tossing and turning. The water-lily plants are scattered and picked from the left and right. The fair ladies are friends with the harp and harp. The water-liquids are scattered and planted from the left and right. The fair ladies are played with bells and drums."
