406 Greystone Village Banquet (Part 1)
At night, Fold brought a dozen scouts to the manor where Bill lives. Since he lost his inheritance, Bill was driven to this place, and from a position below ten thousand people, he became a hidden nobleman who was neither up nor down. Although his life was worry-free, many times better than ordinary people, he no longer had the original life of luxury, and his favorite taste of power.
There was no less popularity in the empty manor. After he was driven out of the city lord's mansion, there were only three people who were willing to come and live with him. The old groom, mother, and a maid who grew up watching him grow up. It has to be mentioned that Bill and Zelonger are half-brothers, and their mothers are both descendants of nobles and their strength is not as good as that of Zelonger, but... Bill was obviously not as smart as Zelonger before, so now he has fallen to this point.
The manor is far from the city center and is quite quiet at night. But on the third floor, Bill's bedroom is full of spring.
Bill was lying on a woman and venting the joy and happiness in his heart. This woman was the only maid who was willing to follow him. Although she was not very beautiful and had no excellent temperament, Bill decided that even if this woman could not become a wife in the future, her status at home was definitely no worse than that of a wife. When she was in trouble, Bill finally understood the meaning of this sentence.
It was at this time that Fold brought his five confidants to Bill's manor. They covered their faces and put on black clothes, hiding in the shadow of the tree that could not be shined by the moonlight.
In his heart, Folde did not want to assassinate Bill. He did not want to get involved in such a brotherly slaughter, but the problem was that Zelonger was his close friend since he was a child. It was normal for his friends to do things that went against his own ideas for his friends. He looked at the moonlight and it was about two o'clock in the morning. It was the time when humans slept the deadliest and a good time for assassination.
Folde waved his hand and five subordinates flipped into the manor. Although the wall was high, it was not a big deal for those of professional scouts. Folde knew very well. There were only four people in the manor, two women and one old man, and Bill himself was not very strong. Six of them were more than enough to deal with this.
But Folde didn't expect that as soon as the five subordinates climbed into the wall, a fire suddenly burst into the shadow in the corner, and then three mercenaries appeared in the moonlight. They killed five confidants like mowing grass, and then turned their eyes to the place where Folde was hiding.
After all, he was a professional scout. Fold retreated silently into the forest. He knew one of these three people, a famous strong man in the Mercenary Union of the Black Rock City. The other two were not bad at the moment. Bill is not qualified or capable of recruiting these three people. In Black Rock City, he can summon all three of them and protect a family or organization that has lost his power, and only the Soul Thinker Association.
The situation is very obvious now. Chen Xiansong is protecting Bill. Folde sighed. He knew that Zelonger had really made the wrong choice this time.
Hearing the noise outside, Bill got up from the woman, opened the gap in the window and looked for a while, and then smiled slightly. When the three strong men of the Mercenary Union appeared in front of him, he knew that his chance to make a comeback had come, and Chen Xiansong also sent the protector so considerately, proving that such an alleged person was indeed reliable.
Bill understood very well why he fell into such a field because of Chen Xiansong. But the person who gave him hope now was Chen Xiansong. His younger brother Zelonger did a fool after he took over the power. He actually betrayed his powerful ally. Bill understood that he would learn this lesson forever and never make the same mistakes as himself again.
Only when something is lost and regained can you realize its preciousness.
At noon the next day, the nobles of Heiyan City were excited because they had received invitations from Chen Xiansong to the Soul Thinker Association. As the most powerful, wealthy, and mysterious Chen Xiansong in Heiyan City, his movements have always been the center point of attention for the nobles. They always wanted to get close, but there was no chance. Although some bad things happened not long ago, the two sides did not break up, and Chen Xiansong also took revenge in a special way.
The nobles thought that this matter was revealed, so when they received the invitation from Chen Xiansong, the nobles were very happy. As for what was written on it, they went with their wives, which made them smile even more.
Among the aristocratic class, wife diplomacy is a normal thing. Of course, this kind of wife diplomacy is not about knowing that the wives of both sides talk to each other and strengthening the family friendship between the two sides, but about giving each other a wife. The nobles all have a ardent hope in their hearts. If Chen Xiansong formally proposed wife diplomacy, then would he send one of his sun god servants out for one or two nights?
It feels so touching to think about it.
The nobles were excited. Although this possibility was very small, it was not completely impossible. From Chen Xiansong's favorable treatment of prisoners, he did not ask for exaggerated ransom, but only asked them to offer their wives a few nights... From this point of view, they felt that Chen Xiansong was a very traditional aristocrat.
Traditional nobles would definitely abide by the aristocratic rules. Thinking of this, they convinced their wives, or their most beautiful lovers, and some even began to consider their daughters who were more beautiful. In any case, almost all the nobles took action, and they looked forward to waiting for the night three days later.
At this time, Zelonger's face looked quite ugly. Folde failed last night, and this incident blocked his emotions for a while. Unexpectedly, he heard another news that made him even more angry. Chen Xiansong was going to hold a banquet. All the noble families received invitations, and there were naturally also invitations, but the invitations were not sent to him, but to Bill.
"Bastard, bastard, bastard!" Zelonger tapped the table hard. At this time, a maid brought in fruit wine. Zelonger grabbed the cup on the table and threw it over to vent his anger.
The cup hit the maid's head, and the woman's head was bleeding. Fold happened to come in from outside. Seeing this scene, he dragged the maid out of the door and left her in the room. The angry Zelonger might kill her.
"Actually, you don't have to be so anxious." Folder persuaded: "You are very smart and have the strength, and you even have a set of strange armors that Chen Xiansong gave you. Our scout team will definitely follow you. People like you ask the old city that it is mainly a small territory. Leaving Black Rock City and going outside to develop will definitely not be worse than staying in Black Rock City."
"That's the past!" Zelonger said gasping: "Now there is snow salt in Heiyan City, and Chen Xiansong has snow salt. No matter how well I develop outside, I can't compare with snow salt's income a month in a year. If it weren't for Chen Xiansong, I would have been able to compete with Bill, but with snow salt, the gap between us will only grow bigger and bigger."
Folde was also silent. He fully understood how much profit snow salt was. If Bill could regain snow salt's business, it would not take too much. As long as 10%, no matter how hard they worked outside, they would not be as good as the accumulated speed of money here.
"So it's just that one step is wrong, every step is wrong." Fold said in a low voice: "Chen Xiansong is our friend, but... he was forced to the opposite side by us. We thought that by using some tricks in secret, we could take our own affairs, but we didn't expect that he was a soul-thinking person. You must know that things are not difficult, just think about them with their smart heads and you will understand."
Three days later, luxurious carriages left Heiyan City, and each car had a beautiful beauty who looked like a flower.
Black Rock City was also decorated with lights and the people responsible for the venue were Alice and Ruth. These two girls were already impatient in the Graystone Village. When they heard that Chen Xiansong was going to hold a banquet, they took the initiative to take on the tasks assigned. Not to mention them, even Catherine and Huilian were extremely moved. Women always liked such lively occasions. They took out the five-color brocade and made them into beautiful clothes, ready to make a big splash at the banquet.
The little guy was also very happy, which meant she could eat with a big appetite.
Carriages came to Chen Xiansong's door one by one. Balff was responsible for greeting the guests. There were several guards standing at the door. Fina has now restored her original position and is leading another team of guards to patrol at the foot of the mountain.
Blanche got off the carriage with her husband. She looked at the familiar castle and didn't know what it felt like. Last time, she escaped by chance, but this time, she couldn't guarantee whether she would be "named". Isn't there a saying that what you didn't get is the best thing. If Chen Xiansong didn't get herself, would he be obsessed with it?
This is not only her idea, but also the thoughts of all the women who were sent here last time.
With such a slightly nervous mood, Blanche held her husband's hand and came to the door, but saw a long-sleeved Zhendan man cursing at the door: "You lowly servant, you dare to stop me from letting me in. Don't you know that Chen Xiansong is my brother-in-law?"
"No one is allowed to enter without invitation!" Balf looked at the other party coldly.
"Chen Xiansong, come out for me. Do you have the ability to stop my snow salt business and don't let me in? Come out, come out for me!"
When Balff heard this, he turned his head and said directly to the guard next to him: "Take him to the foot of the mountain, and tell Fina that he is optimistic about this bastard, so he must not let him appear here again."
Then, Chen Guangde was taken away by the two guards without mercy. However, when many people heard their conversation, the nobles' eyes lit up. Chen Xiansong took back Chen Guangde's snow salt business. Does that mean that he might release it for others!
