Heaven’s Intention

It's raining heavily today, so there's no need to go. Let's go when the rain stops tomorrow! Luo Meng said.

The harsh weather and the road conditions make the journey not only hard but also dangerous. Of course, Romon would not be so harsh.

It has to be said that now Romon is still too young, and his vassals are also too young, and they don't have a large number of children.

Yes, my lord! Lu Lun said regretfully looking at the empty room.

According to the normal situation, there must be a group of teenagers (girls) and a group of guests in the castle or villa, and they should be serving at this time.

These teenagers are the sons sent by the vassals. They practice martial arts, cultivate affection and obedience, and learn etiquette and knowledge in the vassal's home.

And hunting is a big part of it.

It is not only a recreational activity, but also a good way to practice tactics and increase combat capabilities. In hunting, combat resourcefulness and courage are improved, which is an important way to conduct military training for noble teenagers.

And the boy who stands out in the hunt will win the attention of the ladies and ladies in the hunting team. It is also possible to gain the appreciation of the lord.

It is not a small expense to bear the living expenses of many teenagers, but teenagers are not pure consumers, they also do a lot of work outside of military training every day, and those jobs are very hard.

Taking care of horses, looking after hounds and falcons, serving the awakened master, receiving guests, keeping weapons, and even participating in battles are all very difficult, which is conducive to removing the arrogance of noble youths and cultivating nobles who are truly capable of fighting.

And girls often go to the lord's villa, chat with his wife, learn etiquette, kill time, and form a lively family.

The large number of guests also generally represents the great authority of the lord, forming a hidden center of power.

But now, Romon's family lacked this point.

However, even so, there is still entertainment, such as dancing, playing cards, and chess. These are good ways to pass the time. Just when Lu Lun was about to leave, Romon gave another order: Let Farfell and the others go to the hospital in the afternoon. In my villa, I will invite them to a banquet in the evening and hold a meeting by the way.

Yes, my lord! Lu Lun bowed and said.

Such a relaxing time flies by, and in a blink of an eye, the evening is coming, and the solemn and grand dinner is about to begin.

And outside.

It was still raining, but of course it was much lighter.

At this moment, a carriage was trudging along the road.

The businessman Thorhard was sitting in the carriage he had just bought, with a sad expression on his face, and he could not stop sighing.

The news about the destruction of several commercial firms and the destruction of a Lordship by pirates spread quickly, and on the night of the incident, the bosses of more than a dozen commercial firms gathered in the business association.

The next day, more than a dozen carriages full of goods came from the location of the County Commercial Bank Alliance towards Tetashaw, and the representative recommended by the Commercial Bank Alliance was Thorhad.

Mr. Suohede, maybe things are not as bad as we thought. I heard that the naval commander in charge of the crusade against pirates is the benevolent Romon. Lord Romon is a very tolerant and brave person. His reputation He is well-known throughout the county. His morality is unmatched by other nobles. Now several businesses have been wiped out by pirates. It is such a serious matter that a lord's territory has been completely wiped out by pirates. He will not sit idly by. ?”

This gorgeous carriage was driving fast on the road leading to Tetashaw. Both the driver and the people inside had nervous and worried expressions.

There was a caravan alliance logo on the outside of the carriage, and there were two people in the car at this time, except for the representative sent by the caravan alliance who came to listen to Romon's tone - businessman Thorhard, and a very A handsome young man, he looks like a buddy, but judging from the fact that he can sit in the same carriage with the boss at this time, it seems that he is a nephew of his family, so he can sit with the boss, and he is very popular with the boss. Trust and like.

Seeing that Mr. Thorhard was sighing, the boy couldn't help persuading him.

What you said is also reasonable, but... well, this matter is very urgent for us, very urgent. However, for this baron with a good reputation, it is not so urgent. What we are worried about The matter is not necessarily what he is worried about. Whether he can send troops immediately is really worrying. After all, it is said that this navy has only been established recently. If he excuses that he needs to train for a while, God knows, the nearby trading houses will appear What is it? Even if Lord Romon can express sympathy for our situation, it is still worrying whether the navy he trained can dispatch troops as soon as possible... Mr. Thorhard's thinking is of course different from that of the young nephew. , he might not believe the rumors, so he smiled wryly and said.

Mr. Thorhard, the representative sent by the caravan alliance to request Romon to dispatch troops as soon as possible, was about forty years old. He was a middle-aged man with a beer belly and a round face with very ordinary features. The combination of small eyes and big nose gives people a sense of intimacy at first glance.

At this moment, he was obviously caught in an extremely worried mood, unable to extricate himself.

Obviously, this Mr. Thorhard does not have much confidence in whether the Royal Navy can dispatch troops as soon as possible.

Although the whole county is spreading about how kind and brave this Romond is, but he has seen too many hypocritical nobles, can this reputation really represent the reality?

Moreover, a small businessman dealing with a high-ranking nobleman is not an equal thing in itself, even if something unfair happens, it will not have any bad influence on the baron.

And they need to take actual risks. The more they think about it, the more worried this Mr. Thorhard becomes.

Seeing that his face had turned a little pale, and the sweat on his head began to trickle down. The nephew sitting next to him couldn't help but said again: Mr. Thorhard, didn't we bring a gift? I believe Lord Romon will be very happy to see it. Our current situation It is indeed critical, but those coastal nobles are equally anxious, I believe that under such circumstances, Lord Romon will definitely send troops as soon as possible.

Well, I really hope he can send troops as soon as possible after receiving the gift. Thorhard sighed, thinking of the expensive gifts on the carriage behind him, he felt more confident, and no longer sighed like before. More than that. However, the expression on his face was still more worried.

Seeing that the businessman Thorhard fell silent, the nephew didn't say anything more. For a while, the two people in the carriage could not hear any other sound except the clattering of horseshoes outside.

Knowing that the office of the baron in charge of naval affairs was newly established in Yuanfan Town, the carriage of the Caravan Alliance did not stop at Panshi Town, but went straight to Yuanfan Town.

At this very moment, a meeting is being held in a meeting room in Panshi Town.

As the convener of the meeting, Romon, who had taken a break in the afternoon, was pointing at the map on the wall with his slender fingers. He lightly drew a circle around the position of the Lordship, and stared at the people present. Skip it.

The thing is like this. After the storm, the pirates quickly plundered a lordship and wiped out four trading houses. However, judging from the map, their purpose may not be simply to plunder people and wealth. Most likely, it is Use this incident to give a warning to the various lords, or an act of demonstration, what do you think of this incident?

Today he is wearing a blue robe with an eagle embroidered on the hem. The upper and lower six pure gold buttons are not fastened, but are loosely draped over his body. A soft cotton loose belt is tied around his waist, showing his waist. Thin shoulders and broad, quite delicate. His gaze scanned the crowd, and finally landed on Scholar Lulun.

The status of this university scholar in Tetashaw is not comparable to that of ordinary civil servants. It is in the entire rank of civil servants in Tetashaw. Only Nick, who grew up with Romon, can compare.

At this time, Nick was thinking about something, only Scholar Lulun looked at the map ahead, and Romon naturally looked at him.

Scholar Lulun, what do you think?

The clear voice echoed in the meeting room, and even Nick, who had been thinking about things with his head down, couldn't help raising his head, first glanced at Romon, and then turned his gaze to Lulun who was sitting beside him.

Scholar Lu Lun was not in a hurry. Seeing Romon asking himself, he organized his language and said, I think your lord's guess is very likely. The coastal nobles suffered a lot a while ago, and after that they repeatedly It would be abnormal if the pirates didn’t know about such a big movement. The main purpose of their actions is to provoke and demonstrate, and perhaps the purpose of looting is even smaller.”

As soon as he finished speaking, although Nick didn't speak, he nodded slightly.

Expressed agreement with Lulun scholars.

And Fafer, Haiwawei and others also expressed their views in turn.

The opinions of the people were very unified, and they all thought of the provocative intention expressed by the pirates. But I thought of it, how to break this situation?

Romon stared at the map for a few more times, and then sighed softly: Now the pirate's lair has not been found, and the newly established navy is not trained enough. If we rush to send troops like this, there will probably be some problem, but if you don’t send troops as soon as possible, I’m afraid...

He didn't say anything later, but the cronies and subordinates present all understood that if the quarrel continued like this, I'm afraid it would be impossible to send troops, after all, there was a lot of pressure.

Just in the middle of the meeting, someone suddenly came in to report that the representative of the firm wanted to see Lord Romon.

Take them to the reception room, I'll be there in a while. Romon pondered for a moment and said.

My lord, let me go. At this moment, Nick stood up.

The two looked at each other, and Romon probably understood Nick's intentions, and nodded: Well, I'll let you go.

Then he turned his head and ordered the servants: Just say that I am in a meeting, and Mr. Nick will go to meet them.

Yes. The servant led the order and went out.

Romon knew very well what it meant for the firm to send a representative at this time, so he briefly explained a few more words, ordered Lulun Scholar to pay more attention to the surrounding situation, and nodded to Nick.

Nick immediately walked out with a serious expression on his face.

In the meeting room, the teacups and fruits have been placed on the table.

In terms of entertaining guests, Romon did a good job.

No matter what level of guests come, they can enjoy a cup of fragrant tea and a piece of fruit, and the attitude of the servants is also very polite.

However, Thorhad, the representative of the firm who was worried, seemed very worried and a little restless. As a buddy, the accompanying nephew did not follow, and his identity was extremely strict at this time.

At this time, Thorhard, who was just alone in the room, began to think about the countermeasures after the meeting.

Boom boom boom. There was a sound of footsteps coming to this side. Hearing the sound, the person who came was wearing riding boots, which were not worn by ordinary servants.

Because the corridor was covered with the finest wooden floor, Thorhard could easily hear the footsteps.

He stood up nervously and straightened his clothes. At this moment, the door was pushed open, and Nick walked in from outside with a serious expression.

Having met before, knowing that the person who came was not Romon, and the identity and status of the other party was still much higher than his own, Thorhard still bowed to Nick somewhat restrainedly.

Nick nodded, then motioned for him to sit down.

Are you Mr. Nick? I am Thorhard, the representative of the firm. I am here this time to ask when the Royal Navy will be able to dispatch troops. Seeing that the other party was not very talkative, Thorhard simply bit the bullet and went straight to the point. asked.

Mr. Thorhard, don't worry. When it's time to send troops, your lord will definitely send troops. It won't be long. So, please rest assured that the problem of pirates will be resolved as soon as possible. Nick replied very straightforwardly.

There is no difference between saying this and not saying it. Thorhard was naturally unwilling, and asked a few more words. Nick came out this time to make a fool of himself. You can't let your own adults be at a disadvantage. Although Thorhard is a businessman who can speak well, his tongue is far above Nick.

However, their identities are different. Not only is Nick in charge of the internal affairs of the Barony, but he is also a lord himself. No matter how good his tongue is, how can he really argue with Nick?

It angered Nick, and the consequences were not something he could bear.

Because of this, no matter what, it can only be at a disadvantage.

Thorhard, who was very disappointed, had no choice but to send a gift to Romon in the name of the firm, including more than a dozen vehicles of food and weapons, as well as cash worth gold coins.

However, although Nick was moved, he politely declined.

Thorhard is also considered smart. After being surprised for a while, he thought that maybe the other party didn't want to accept the gift, but he didn't want to accept the gift so clearly, so he had to change a way, and proposed to send supplies to Romon's navy in the name of the firm. support.

Nick just smiled. After Thorhard left, Nick sighed softly: Romon, it seems that things are a little troublesome. Such a large amount of goods is not a small number, and it won't work if you don't accept it! (!)
