Chapter 457: Suffocating Words
After requesting the regular army of Doguland to accompany them, the result was pretty much what Po expected. The caravan had a safe journey without being attacked, and the second batch of heavenly materials and earthly treasures were transported to Dusk City on time and safely.
This is not surprising. No matter how crazy Kino is, he would never openly attack a transport convoy escorted by friendly forces.
Moreover, he has lowered the price of this batch of goods to 10% of the market price, which can be said to be very affordable. Instead of spending a lot of money to grab it again, it is better to buy it directly with money, which saves trouble and effort. There is no need to do that again.
As for the first batch of goods that were robbed, I can only say that I recognized them and treated them as food to the dogs.
Because the manpower for this trip has increased several times, and it is not free to invite regular troops to accompany them, and it requires a lot of money to manage, the profits of Abao's caravan have shrunk again on the premise of 10% of the market price. Compared with the huge profits in the past
, the earnings can be described as very little.
At this time, at the gate of Dusk City's ruling residence, members of Abao's caravan were unloading goods. The total number of people in the freight team exceeded 1,200, and 500 fully armed bodyguards were guarding each intersection with weapons, staring intently at the people carrying the goods.
The Doguland regular troops who were invited to accompany them were very relaxed, talking and laughing with each other. They had escorted the military's food and baggage before, but this was the first time they were invited by a private caravan.
The other party is a three-clawed golden dragon with diplomatic status, and the reward is large. In addition, the shipping route is within the kingdom, so there is no risk. They will do this business a hundred times a hundred times! Not to mention how happy they are~
At the executive mansion, Paladin was taking the people from his caravan to make the handover. He was unpacking and inspecting the goods one by one according to the list to ensure that the items he bought were flawless, and then asked his servants to transport the boxes of items to the underground ice cellar.
These natural treasures from the northern snowfields grow in extremely cold environments. They are transported frozen in boxes filled with cold crystals all the way. The storage cellars are also specially made with cold crystals to simulate ultra-low temperature environments, so that the natural materials and earth treasures can be stored in the cold environment.
The treasure is preserved for a long time.
After moving the goods and confirming that they were correct, Paladin came to the living room, where Kino and Abao were doing final inspections.
Behind Kino stood the three giants of Xilin Town, as well as Nicole and Roman.
Roman has recovered a lot in the past half month and can get out of bed without any problem. However, it was a traumatic injury after all. His face is still covered with thick bandages, and only his bruised eyes and highly swollen...
The mouth is exposed.
Now that the enemy is right in front of him, Roman does not lose control of his emotions because he has long heard that this dog-like liar has been dealt with ugly by Chino. Since he has breathed his last, there is no need to show up again on such an occasion.
Conflict, otherwise it will only embarrass Kino.
As always, Abao was followed by his bodyguard Hu Shanrong, and there were a group of "Hua Lan" behind him. One of them was nestling in his arms, gently beating his shoulders. He didn't know whether this "Hua Lan" was the same as the "Hua Lan" last time.
Are they the same person?
It can be seen from his face that Abao was in a terrible mood during this period. Ever since he controlled the source of natural materials and earthly treasures in the northern snowfield, and with this he entered the temple and became a popular person under the True Dragon Emperor, he has been living a wild life, wherever he goes.
They were all treated as honored guests.
It was a good thing to come to Twilight City. He was tricked and had to break his teeth and swallow it in his stomach. He has never been so aggrieved since his rise to prominence!
He has always been the only one who bullies others, and no one dares to bully him!
This place must be found!
Abao said expressionlessly: "The goods have been shipped for you. Do you have any objections this time?"
Paladin held a checklist, whispered something in Kino's ear, vaguely heard words like "no problem", and then handed the list over with both hands.
Kino opened the checklist and glanced at it for a few times. After looking at it, he suddenly slammed the list onto the table and yelled at Abao: "I've already given you a chance, and you want to play tricks on me? You're lucky."
Everything is short of goods, what do you mean?!"
"Whoa!" Nicole and the others drew their sharp swords out of their sheaths. In an instant, the room was filled with flashes of swords and shadows. Their cold auras locked onto A Bao. As soon as Kino gave the order to kill, they would chop A Bao into pieces.
Hu Shanrong's sword was given to the guard before he entered the door. He had no weapon at this time, but his momentum was not inferior at all. His two casserole-sized fists hung in front of him and he squeezed them, making a clicking sound, which seemed to show his contempt for everyone with his bare hands.
.
Abao's eyes were extremely cold, and he looked at Chino sinisterly, wondering what kind of evil this guy was going to do.
Just when the atmosphere was almost stagnant, Kino flicked his fingers regularly on the table and said with a playful smile: "Why be so serious? It's just a joke~"
The atmosphere suddenly relaxed. Nicole and others sheathed their swords one after another, and Hu Shanrong sat down again with a sullen face.
Abao's face was expressionless: "Haha, you are so funny."
Kino spread his hands and smiled and said: "Didn't you say before that you like to joke the most? You also said that if you don't joke for a day, you will feel uncomfortable. Now I am making you happy."
"Haha, oh, then you really amused me." Abao remained expressionless. He was silent for a moment and slowly scanned the room. "The soundproofing of this conference room is really good. You don't have to worry about the walls having ears."
Chino: "Of course, the walls of the conference room are made of a mixture of soundproof wood and black iron. They are indestructible and impermeable to sound. Even if you detonate dozens of kilograms of gunpowder inside, no one standing outside the door will notice.
."
Hearing the sound, Abao's eyes fell on Kino, and for some reason the corners of his lips raised a sarcastic arc: "You seem to have lost weight these days."
Kino tugged on his sleeve casually: "I went to Lenglie Valley. It's a long journey and I'm a little tired."
"Lorna Finn Regnom's coming-of-age ceremony." Abao said meaningfully, "Perhaps I should call her Prince Lorna now."
Kino couldn't help but take a second look at Abao: "Your intelligence channels are really wide. You already knew the news that Lorna became a prince with a different surname before it was officially announced to the public. Who told you?"
Abao did not answer directly: "Tell me, how was that banquet?"
Kino asked calmly: "Is this important to you?"
"Of course, there must be a lot of big shots at that banquet. I am very interested in big shots. They are all strategic partners I plan to develop." The sarcasm on Abao's face became deeper and deeper, and his voice became deeper.
, "The ninth princess of the royal family, Solandel Van Dogulland, is a childhood friend of Prince Lorna. She must have also gone to Lenglie Valley, right?"
Kino: "We're gone, what happens next?"
Abao shrugged and said in a joking tone: "It's nothing, I just heard that you and the Ninth Princess have a very good relationship. They are almost like a couple. They eat together, travel together, play the piano together, and you even gave her a gift."
A piano piece called "To the Little Princess". You have done all the things that couples do, so I am very curious."
The sarcasm on Abao's face was extremely intense, and his next words suddenly brought the atmosphere to a suffocating freezing point:
Chapter completed!
