Chapter 457: Suffocating Words
After requesting the regular army of Doguland to accompany him, the fact was just as Po had expected, and the caravan had traveled safely and without any attack, and had transported the second batch of Heavenly Treasures to Twilight City on time and safely.
This is not surprising, no matter how crazy Chino is, it is impossible to openly attack a convoy escorted by friendly forces.
And the price of this batch of goods was pressed to 10% of the market price by him, which can be said to be very affordable.
As for the first batch of looted goods, they can only admit it, and they should be fed to the dogs.
Because the manpower of this trip has increased several times, and it is not free to invite the regular army to accompany him, and it needs to spend a lot of money, the profit of Bao's caravan has shrunk again on the premise of 10% of the market price, and compared with the previous windfall profits, the profit is very small.
At this time, at the gate of the Archacon Mansion in Twilight City, the members of the Bao caravan were unloading the goods, the total number of the cargo team exceeded 1,200 people, and 500 heavily armed dart masters with swords were guarding various intersections, staring intently at the people carrying the goods.
The regular army of Doguland who were invited to accompany them were very relaxed, talking and laughing with each other, they used to escort the army's grain and grass baggage, and it was the first time they were invited by a civilian caravan.
The other party is a three-clawed golden dragon, has a diplomatic status, and gives a lot of remuneration, plus the shipping route is within the territory of the kingdom, there is no risk, this business comes a hundred times and they do it a hundred times! Don't mention how happy it is~
As for the consul's residence, Paladin was taking his caravan to hand over the goods, opening the boxes and inspecting the goods one by one to make sure that the things he bought were not defective, and then asked the servants to transport the boxes of goods to the underground ice cellar.
These natural treasures from the northern snow field grow in an extremely cold environment, and they are frozen and transported in boxes filled with cold crystals all the way, and the cellar for storage is also specially made of cold crystals, which is used to simulate the ultra-low temperature environment, so that the natural materials and earth treasures can be preserved for a long time.
After moving the goods and confirming that everything was correct, Paladin went to the parlor, where Chino and Po were doing the final checks.
Behind Chino stands the Big Three of Shirin, as well as Niko and Roman.
Roman has recovered a lot in the past half a month, and it is no longer a problem to get out of bed, but after all, it is a tenacious injury, and his face is still wrapped in thick bandages, and only his eyes full of bruises and a high swollen mouth are exposed.
Now that the enemy is in front of him, Roman is not emotionally out of control, because he has long heard that this dog-like liar has been cleaned up ugly by Chino, and since he has already breathed a sigh of relief, there is no need to clash again on such an occasion, otherwise it will only embarrass Chino.
As always, Bao was followed by his personal guard Hu Shanrong, and the "Hua Lan" were in groups, one of them was snuggling in his arms, gently beating his shoulders for him, and I don't know if this "Hua Lan" was the same person as the "Hua Lan" last time.
It can be seen from his face that Ah Bao is in a terrible mood during this time, since he controls the source of heaven and earth treasures in the northern snow field, he has become a celebrity in the temple and has become a celebrity under the emperor of the true dragon, he has been wandering, and he has been respected as a guest wherever he goes.
It's good to come to Twilight City, he was put on a beating, and he had to break his teeth and swallow it in his stomach, he hasn't been so aggrieved since he was in the clouds!
He has always been the only one who bullies people, and no one has dared to bully him!
This field must be recovered!
Ah Bao said expressionlessly: "The goods have arrived for you, no opinion this time, right?" β
Paladin took a checklist and whispered something in Chino's ear, vaguely hearing something like "no problem", and then handed the list with both hands.
Chino opened the checklist and glanced at it a few times, looking at it, he suddenly slammed the checklist on the table, and shouted to Bao: "I have already given you a chance, and you still want to play tricks with me?" All the goods shipped are short of catties and two, what do you mean?! β
"Huh-" Niko and the others unsheathed their knives, and in an instant, there was a sword and sword shadow in the room, and the cold aura directly locked on Po, and when Chino gave the order to kill, they would chop Po into pieces.
Hu Shanrong's big knife was handed over to the guards before entering the door, there was no weapon at this time, but the momentum did not fall in the slightest, and the two big fists of the casserole hung down in front of him and pinched them, making a clicking sound, which meant to despise everyone empty-handed.
Po's gaze was extremely cold, and he looked at Chino gloomily, not knowing what this guy was going to do.
Just when the atmosphere was almost stagnant, Chino's fingers flicked regularly on the table, and he smiled playfully: "Why be so serious? It's just a joke~"
The atmosphere suddenly relaxed, Niko and the others put the knife into the sheath one after another, and Hu Shanrong also sat down again with a calm face.
Ah Bao's face was expressionless: "Haha, you are so humorous." β
Chino spread his hands and smiled, "Didn't you say before that you like to joke the most?" He also said that he was uncomfortable without joking for a day, but I am amusing you now. β
"Haha, oh, then you did tease me." Ah Bao was still expressionless, he was silent for a moment, and slowly glanced around the room, "The sound insulation of this conference room is really good, and there is no need to worry about the ears of the partition wall." β
Chino: "Of course, the walls of the conference room are made of a mixture of soundproof wood and dark iron, which is indestructible and impermeable, and you just detonate dozens of catties of gunpowder inside, and no one standing outside the door will notice it." β
Hearing this, Po's gaze fell on Chino, and the corners of his lips raised a sarcastic arc for some reason: "You seem to have lost weight these days." β
Chino casually pulled his sleeve: "I went to the cold valley, the road is far away, and I am a little tired." β
"Lorna Fin Regnome's rite of passage." "Perhaps, I should call her Prince Lorna now." β
Chino couldn't help but glance at Po more: "Your intelligence channels are really wide, and the news that Lorna became a prince with a different surname has not yet been officially announced, and you already know it." Who told you that? β
Po didn't answer directly: "Tell me, how was that banquet?" β
Chino asked lightly, "Is this important to you?" β
"Of course, there must be a lot of big people at that banquet, and I'm very interested in the big guys, and they are all strategic partners that I plan to develop." The sarcasm on Po's face deepened and deepened, and his voice became deeper, "The ninth princess of the royal family, Solandel Van Doguland, this person is a childhood friend of Prince Lorna, she must have also gone to Cold Valley, right?" β
Chino: "Gone, and then?" β
Ah Bao shrugged his shoulders and said in a mocking tone: "It's nothing, I just heard that you and the Ninth Princess have a good relationship, it's like a couple, eating together, traveling together, playing the piano together, and you also gave her a piano piece called "To the Little Princess", you have all done what a couple can do, so I'm curiousββ"
The sarcasm on Po's face was intense, and the next words made the atmosphere suddenly drop to a suffocating freezing point:
"Have you ever been past her?"
