The north-south commercial road runs from south to north, with Allen's northward route as the guidepost. Among the maps spread out on the table, Edward drew this route with a pen. Please read the most complete! It was basically in line with the plan, except that after going through the Cold Ridge Mountains, it turned to Dragonlance Town, and then went to the Old Great Wall through the secret place, thus bypassing the Devil's Throat, and shortening the route by a few days compared to the original plan.

Edward drew a circle in Longlance Town: "We will build a supply point in this town. The trade route will bring prosperity to the town. At least your equipment can be transported north-south through this trade route. If the Gaocang tribe does not object If so, within a few years, Dragonlance Town will be two to three times larger than it is now. The important thing is, once your town is combined with the interests of most people, there will be no one like Marquis Peel who can easily order You moved away."

Paluo listened carefully, he didn't know that this was an important opportunity for the Gao Cang clan to usher in a turning point. Edward then said that in order to respect certain customs of the Gao Cang people, the supply point can be established outside the town in the future, which is also within the scope of the expansion of the first phase of Dragon Gun Town. As for the original small town, it can be preserved as the private land of the Gao Cang tribe, and the passing business travelers do not need to enter the area where the Gao Cang tribe lives, if there is such a need.

Palo laughed: "Although we are not hospitable, we are not so closed. As long as your lord can guarantee that the passing caravan will not cause trouble to my people, I think the mayor will agree to this plan."

"I can promise you this right here. We will arrange soldiers to ensure order at every supply point in the trade road, so what you are worried about will definitely not happen." Edward said with certainty: "Because the people who participated in the North-South Trade Route plan this time , besides us, there is also the second prince and some important figures in the imperial capital. Speaking of which, we are just the planners, and they are the ones who guarantee the smooth operation of the business. "

"That's all right."

Edward nodded, looked at Allen and said, "This business plan, and the mining of the cold crystal veins, have gained the support of one more adult. Without that adult expressing his opinion, it would be difficult for me to attract so many investors. That adult will also come to the celebration banquet of His Royal Highness Julian tonight, and then you should get closer to him."

"Who is it?" Allen asked.

Edward pretended to be mysterious: "You will know at night. I have to go to rest while I still have time. I am almost exhausted these days." After arriving in the imperial capital, Allen was busy preparing for Julian's spring hunting. , Edward is also not idle. With Xiao En and others, he visited the dignitaries and dignitaries in the city every day under the lead of Rein, attracting various investors for the North-South trade route and the ice soul crystal mine. Shopping malls are another battlefield. Although there is no gunpowder, it may not be easy.

Soon night fell.

The celebration banquet was held in Julian's private manor. From the daytime, the manor was fully decorated from the inside to the outside. At night, the manor is fully lit, as bright as day. When guests come in through the gate, they will see the channel with colorful flags hanging above it, with bands playing music on both sides, and chefs in the small square are roasting all kinds of meat, from steak to fresh fish. The square was arranged as a meeting place last night, and the waiters shuttled around the square with silver plates filled with fine wine. Guests can enjoy wine, barbecue and other delicacies at will, and chat freely under the melodious music in the night sky.

The main building of the manor is even more resplendent, and the lobby on the first floor is another venue. This venue is not accessible to just anyone, and those who can enter are those who have been personally invited by Julian. Naibert was also invited here tonight, and the presence of the former Prime Minister brought the atmosphere of the venue to a climax. The Prime Minister has always rarely appeared in public, especially the scenes where he stood so clearly on his student camp.

When he comes, those who are interested can read many potential meanings, and adjust their attitudes towards Julian and even Naibert's family of officials. The key to making all this happen is that Julian won the Spring Hunting Championship. Being able to take over Star Wing and Dragon Flame from Tangliou is an obvious signal in itself, which means that Julian has taken a big step towards the crown prince. .

At this step, he passed Howson, and even left Seves, who was doing nothing in Haruki, behind him. If ever hot, Julian is right now. From being pessimistic in the past to now being the most popular for standing reserves, it can be described as a dramatic change. Behind all these glories, what the real big man sees is not Julian, but another one.

Earl Allen!

His arrival immediately reversed Julian's unfavorable situation, and he was rewarded privately by Tangliou. Although no one knew the content of the reward, being able to meet the emperor alone in the Triumph Palace alone was enough to make this young earl from the southern border a celebrity in the imperial capital.

Edward was able to attract so many investors in just a few days, not only because of the support of the so-called adult in his mouth, but also because of Allen's second entry into the Triumph Palace. Who wouldn't want to get closer to the current celebrity in the imperial capital, not to mention that the north-south trade route and the cold crystal mine veins are indeed attractive, whether it's a matter of going along with the flow or making a wish. Under the urging of various reasons, Edward's plan was able to proceed so smoothly.

When the guests in the lobby of the main building were about the same time, Julian and Allen both entered. The second prince is holding a bright girl by the hand, she is the granddaughter of a certain hereditary marquis in the imperial capital, if there is no accident, she will become Julian's first wife. Behind Julian, Allen in Earl's uniform, and Lucy in costumes also attracted everyone's attention. Lucy, in particular, made her Empire High Society debut. The noble daughter who was originally born in the royal family of Ida Huaxing, after some careful grooming, is even more noble and generous. She was far more dazzling than any other woman in the hall, even Julian's fiancée was overshadowed by her.

Allen took her to appear together, and the meaning couldn't be more obvious. Those who originally planned to pull Allen through marriage could only smile wryly and shake their heads after seeing Lucy. The Earl already had such an outstanding woman by his side, so how could other people look up to her. But they still didn't give up. If they can't be a regular wife, they can always be a concubine, right? So he looked at Allen with the same enthusiasm, and began to look for opportunities to approach.

After whispering a few words to Naibert, Julian walked to the high stage of the venue, coughed twice to attract everyone's attention, and then said: "Everyone, it's a great honor to be here with you tonight. Friends, I'm not afraid to say that. If there was no Earl Allen, and he hadn't beheaded Jueying for me, there would be nothing like this tonight. So the good wine in your hands now is thanks to our good earl For this reason, I suggest that everyone make a toast for him!"

Julian pointed to Allen, and with Lucy's nudge, Allen shook his head and walked onto the high platform. A waiter brought fine wine for the two of them. Julian raised his glass, and everyone on the field, including Naibert, raised their glasses one after another, and then drank it down. Julian put down his glass and said, "Earl Allen, I need you to work for me more in the future."

"It's my pleasure." Allen smiled.

Julian blinked his eyes and said, "I am very happy to have such help from Earl Allen. Earl Allen has made great contributions to winning the spring hunting this time. What kind of reward do you think I should give our good Earl? "

There was a lot of discussion in the audience.

Julian turned around on the stage, buying Guanzi and said: "Gold? Money can't buy loyalty. Besides, I think the Earl has more money than me. At least once his north-south trade route is opened, it will be a wealth of money." .”

People laughed.

"Equipment?" Julian nodded: "My father rewarded me with a full set of armor that can equip a hundred knights, including horses. But I think Earl Allen is not short of such things, so jewels?"

He looked at Lucy, stretched out his hand and said with a smile: "He already has the most splendid treasure in the empire, and I don't think the Earl will need it either."

There was another chuckle, and Lucy shook her head, showing a bright smile.

Finally, Julian said: "So after thinking about it, I can only express my sincerity by giving something to the Earl." The second prince snapped his fingers, and a Silver Frost Guard walked up from the audience, holding a long sword in his hand. Such a box, no one knows what's inside. Julian walked up to the iron guard and opened the box with his own hands. When people saw the contents clearly, there was a sound of breathing.

In the long box is a long sword. The scabbard of the long sword has a dark red background and is decorated with gorgeous gems on both sides and in the middle. The hilt is gold-plated, shining golden under the light. There is a dragon head engraved in metal on the gauntlet, the dragon head bites into the scabbard, and the left and right sides are the wings of the flying dragon. When Julian drew out his long sword, the vermilion blade reflected the lights like a flame.

"Dragon Flame?" Naibert didn't expect Julian to be so generous, to give him the sword of the former king. Dragon Flame is not a sharp weapon. Its symbolic meaning is more than practical use. The gift of Dragon Flame shows that Julian values ​​Allen.

"Your Highness, this gift is too generous." Allen said with a wry smile, "Besides, Dragon Flame was given to you by His Majesty, how could I accept it."

"That was rewarded by my father." Julian corrected, he grabbed Alan's hand, and stuffed Dragon Flame into his hand: "And now, I give it to you. I hope your loyalty is like Burn forever like a dragon flame!"

At this time, Allen had to accept it if he didn't want to accept it, so he could only thank him respectfully. Then Julian rewarded other people who participated in the spring hunting. For example, Gaohu got a barrel of fine wine, and Fares got a lease for a mercenary building. Everyone was rewarded, although none of them could compare to Ai. The dragon flame in Lun's hand didn't make anyone feel neglected.

Then came the free time of the banquet. Alan's Dragon Flame asked the Silver Frost Iron Guard to send him back to the room. When he and Julian were surrounded by people, the door of the hall opened and several people filed in. Leading them were a few swordsmen in black clothes and black armor. On the chests of their battle armors, there was a very dazzling pattern of golden quail flowers. Seeing this, the manor housekeeper quickly got into the crowd and whispered in Julian's ear. The second prince smiled brightly, patted Allen on the shoulder and said, "Come on, a big man is here." To find this site, please search for "" or enter the URL:
