Winter nights come especially early.

The sky was about to darken, and amidst the snow and wind, a ray of orange light brought a little warmth to this desolate land.

In the car, Erica felt a little carsick. Her face was flushed, her forehead was sweaty, her whole body was sore and weak. She clung to Zhang Feng, breathing lightly.

After all, the speed of steam cars is quite fast, and people who don’t ride in cars often will definitely not be used to it.

…

Silver Pine City.

Looking at the heavy snow outside, Marlowe and the others in the hotel didn't look very happy.

"We have to prepare for the worst."

The correct version of this content can be found on 6/9*Shu.ba%! 【6*9*S*H*UBA.CX】

But what Eugene didn't know was that Marlowe actually carried a lot of goods with him. Although they were not presented to the king, he planned to sell them in the capital.

Count Langman frowned. He looked at the goods and then at Eugene, obviously undecided.

Shu Daqiang took it solemnly, looked at Ma Luo, and hit Ma Luo's chest hard.

There are quite a few people, at least more than thirty.

Therefore, it is very difficult to advance further after becoming an earl, especially now that there is no war. It is even more difficult in this peaceful era.

"Then what do you think we should do? I don't want to use swords against these people. You know, I am a pacifist, and they are, after all, the people of the baron of Red Leaf City..."

Eugene immediately dropped to the ground, trying to find a reason to survive a little longer.

"As for him?"

At this time, Shu Daqiang raised his hand somewhat embarrassedly.

Ma Xi first put forward her own point of view, and then explained: "At this time of year, it is estimated that no one knows that a caravan from Red Leaf City has come to our Silver Pine City. Moreover, these people are very low-key. Even if they are seen in the city, no one knows that these people are from Red Leaf City!"

Although this is impossible, it is all he can say now.

"Ms. Marcy, please allow me to assist you. I can—"

"Yes, buy it! As for the price? Of course it's the lowest price! Now they are in our territory, dare they not listen to us? You should know that we have 10,000 soldiers and 50 knights in Silver Pine City! Even if Marlowe is strong, he is just a knight. They will definitely be afraid of us!"

Upon hearing Eugene's words, Count Langman's face turned unhappy. It was not impossible to ask him to restrict more than 20 merchants from selling things, but it was difficult to do. After all, Count Langman himself was famous for his good reputation.

"How many merchants are there in the city who have returned from Red Leaf City?"

"Uh... I'm just guessing..."

"I need you to report to the city lord!"

Eugene not only gave away all his worth, but also gave away himself.

"This... the snow is getting heavy again, and it seems like it won't stop!"

After Eugene shouted out his words, the scene suddenly became quiet.

Zhang Feng also said that if you suffer a loss, don’t think about revenge, first write down the other party’s name and address, it’s not too late to take revenge later!

"My goods are definitely worth 10,000 gold coins. As long as the Earl spares my life, I will give all these goods to the Earl, and I will help him sell them to earn the highest profit!"

Marcy spoke somewhat sarcastically.

Marcy, who was standing next to Count Langman, immediately spoke angrily.

The others didn't care either. Eugene was not a member of their alliance, so sending him back was a great blessing. As for what would happen to him later, no one could control it, and no one would care. What's more, he had offended Count Langman, so they could just watch the show.

This was an unexpected success for him.

"Tsk, how much wealth can a small businessman like you have? Would the Earl be interested in you?"

"From what I know, Eugene's strength should be quite strong in Silver Pine City, right? I heard that he has a good relationship with the City Lord's Mansion, so how could he be captured?"

He had originally wanted to come to Marlowe and the others to discuss what to do, after all, Eugene was his good friend. But in the current situation, not to mention that Marlowe and the others had already offended the Earl, even if they hadn't offended him, they probably wouldn't be able to provide any help in this matter.

"Lord City Lord, please calm down. As long as you give this order, you don't have to do anything else. Just leave everything to me. I can guarantee that I can sell 10,000 gold coins. If you can't sell them, I am willing to be punished by the Earl!"

But now it is obvious that there is no way to withdraw.

Marcy squatted down and looked down at Eugene who was lying on the ground.

"Ah? How can I escape at a time like this! No, I won't go!"

Although he felt that it might not work, Eugene still crawled on the ground. If it weren't for the railing blocking him, he would probably crawl over and kiss Count Langman's shoes.

Phew!

"That should be the reason!"

"My Lord Earl, I think it's feasible!"

"I didn't know that this captain was such a favorite of Count Langman that he allowed the Count to capture Eugene!"

Sure enough, the export of 10,000 gold coins shocked not only Marcy but even Count Langman.

Count Langman clapped his hands and seemed very angry.

Some people don't know this person. After all, many businessmen have left Hongye City. Except for the businessmen from the Hongye Business Alliance, other businessmen all have their own small circles, so it is normal that they are not familiar with each other.

In two adjacent cells, Eugene looked at Benson who was beaten to death across from him, and felt a chill in his heart. He could already see his own end.

Although Count Langman is also known as a smiling tiger, at least on the surface, he does his job very well and he is a man who cares about his reputation.

As the Earl and the Lord of Silver Pine City, he has this right.

After hearing what Eugene said, especially hearing that he might become a marquis, Earl Longman's breathing became heavier.

Someone recognized him and started to explain, but he was a little confused.

Eugene regretted it very much. He should not have listened to Benson's bad advice. If he had sold the liquor properly, he could have gotten a high price. There was no need to cheat like this. Now, Benson's bad words had come true!

In the Kingdom of Buck, there are actually quite a few nobles.

"this……"

The perception of the two top knights needs to be taken seriously.

"Damn it... I didn't expect a count to be so mean!"

He said with a smile: "You know, I don't really care about gold coins. A little more or a little less doesn't matter to me. If it were in the past, I wouldn't have bothered you at all..."

Count Langman nodded. In order to vent his anger, he would rather not have the thousand gold coins! "I have ten thousand gold coins!"

Not only her, but Count Langman also felt a little excited when he smelled the blood.

Without caring whether he would offend Count Langman, Eugene spoke quickly: "There is another caravan in our Silver Pine City. They are all from Red Leaf City, and they are not from our Silver Pine City. They have tons of supplies! Much more than I have! As long as they can get these supplies, 100,000 gold coins is the minimum!"

In order to save his life, Eugene could only take out all the gold coins he had in this issue. Although ten thousand gold coins sounded a bit exaggerated, it was still possible to achieve in theory, provided that no one competed with him.

After all, the nobles have always been narrow-minded, and this is something that everyone recognizes.

"You have goods worth ten thousand gold coins?"

But this was not the result that Marlowe wanted. He had promised Zhang Feng that he would sell the specialties of Hongye City to the royal capital, and then use the gold coins to buy some daily necessities to bring back. After all, food in Hongye City was a little tight right now.

This Silver Pine City is really not that great. Although it is big enough, the supporting facilities and quiet life inside cannot be compared with Red Leaf City.

"It's my fault! I deserve it!"

Hearing Count Langman's undisguised murderous intention, Eugene's face became more and more terrified. He knew that if he didn't think of a solution, he would really die! "My Lord, I am willing to donate all my property to ask for your forgiveness!"

Seeing Count Langman looking at him thoughtfully, Eugene said quickly: "My Lord, I can also go and help. I know which things are valuable. I..."

Especially when they heard that Eugene and Benson had found someone to pretend to be a down-and-out noble and sold the liquor to a squad leader of soldiers from Silver Pine City, they looked at each other, and thinking about the liquor they drank at the banquet yesterday, they seemed to understand something.

The reason why Marcy could become Count Langman's bedmate was not only because of her good skills, but also because they had a common little hobby, which was that they got excited when they saw blood.

"My Lord Earl, think about it. There are so many of them, and most of them are businessmen. Why do they not even do business in order to keep a low profile? There must be some secret! I think Eugene's words are very credible!"

Shu Daqiang shook his head.

When the liquor was discovered, Malo gave it to him to remind him and to do him a favor, but Langman didn't think so much at the time. He didn't listen to Malo's dissuasion and opened the liquor in front of everyone.

Seeing Marlowe's helpless expression, the businessman left with a wry smile.

Marlowe was a little surprised.

When Marlowe told everyone the news, everyone was a little bit unbelievable. But after thinking carefully, they had offended Earl Langman after all. If the Earl didn't care about his reputation, he might really take action against them! But it's not worth it. For the sake of so-called face, they don't even care about their noble image?

Although Shu Daqiang is usually not very courageous, he is very loyal when it comes to being loyal! "This is not an escape. We may be able to resolve the crisis, or we may be annihilated. But I must prepare for the worst. If we all die, we will not inform the Lord of the City. The Lord of the City will definitely be kept in the dark and may even be calculated by Langman. Therefore, we must let the Lord of the City know about this matter!"

Looking at Count Langman's serious expression and listening to his unfinished words, Eugene's expression changed. He knew that Count Langman cared about his reputation, but he didn't expect that he cared about his reputation so much!

Marlowe took out various items including a compass, a map, a windproof lighter, etc.

The visitor was none other than Earl Langman.

Some of them were going back to the royal capital, where their homes were, and some were sent out by Zhang Feng to sell and purchase supplies.

Marlowe motioned his men to open the door, and outside was a businessman.

Earl Langman thought the first one was more reliable.

If I remember correctly, this person should be a merchant from Silver Pine City who had stayed in Red Leaf City for some time. Although I don't remember his name, he looks familiar.

Blood splattered all over Marcie's face.

Relatively speaking, her home is better. At least the castle at home is big enough for her to play freely.

But only one life was left.

Civilians rarely go out in winter. It is estimated that apart from these merchants, innkeepers and some soldiers guarding the city, no one knows that there are so many more people in Silver Pine City.

Everyone turned their eyes to her, and Annie waved her hands somewhat unconfidently.

"No, you are no longer valuable. The only way for a worthless person is to die!"

One thousand gold coins could not completely impress Earl Langman, but ten thousand gold coins was a different story.

You have to know that these whips are made of brambles soaked in salt water and are as thick as a wrist. Most people would be beaten to death after being whipped three times.

Hearing that Count Langman was coveting their things, everyone immediately became uneasy. If things go wrong, they could lose their lives! As businessmen, they have encountered many dangers, but this is the first time they have been targeted by the Count! "Can we leave by force?"

This is a typical case of forced buying and selling by relying on one's own strong power.

Besides, they have offended the Lord of Silver Pine City. Although the other party will not do anything to them, if you want to buy supplies from him, it will definitely be troublesome, and at least you have to pay part of the price.

Marlowe's eyes lit up.

Compared to Marcy, Earl Longman is much more normal.

It was snowing heavily outside and he couldn't even read the map. If he left, he would most likely die outside.

Shu Daqiang usually wouldn't say it out loud, but now is not the right time.

It seems that even this famous businessman has only a superficial understanding of the matter.

"What if he wants our goods?"

"My Lord Earl, I am serious!"

After listening to Marcy's decisive words, Earl Langman was still a little confused.

But before he could finish his words, Marcy came over.

Hearing these words, Eugene felt very disappointed.

His words were half true and half false. It was true that those merchants had more goods than him, but what Marlowe said was just nonsense, just to increase the interest of Earl Longman.

Thinking about what they had investigated in Red Leaf City over the past two days, Marcy still found it hard to believe.

Especially people like Marlowe are very low-key. They come to Silver Pine City just to stay temporarily and have no intention of selling or buying here on a large scale. He does this to prevent being targeted and causing unnecessary trouble.

Now, Marcy is a little sick.

Simply put, these goods are normally worth only 3,000 gold coins, but if he imposes a restriction on the merchants in the city, not allowing them to sell the goods in Hongye City, or if these merchants cannot sell them before Earl Langman sells them all, forming a monopoly, these goods can only be sold for 10,000 gold coins! "How dare you! How dare you deceive the Earl!"

In the light of the torch, looking at the long shadows, Eugene unconsciously shrank towards the corner.

She couldn't believe that after they left, Hongye City actually welcomed a very capable new city lord. Under the leadership of the new city lord, Hongye City not only turned from dead to alive, but also became more and more prosperous.

To vent his anger, he decided to kill two people.

"As you command, Lord Earl!"

Just because Benson said a few more words, he was whipped by the Earl himself.

"My Lord Earl, everything I said is true, and it may even be more exaggerated than what I said, because I am just a very weak merchant among this group of people, and they are all well-known big merchants, and they have much more goods in their hands than me! Moreover, their leader is the most capable subordinate of the Lord of Red Leaf City. He came here with a mission this time. I heard that he was going to present the most valuable thing in Red Leaf City to the king! If we get this thing and present it to the king, you may not be Lord Earl, but Lord Marquis!"

Marcy, who had been silent, suddenly brightened up when she heard Eugene's words.

"I don't think this is a big deal. After all, the wine Eugene sells is not fake, but genuine red leaf specialty. Even if he made up a story about "heirloom wine", it doesn't affect the quality of the wine. At most, he can just sell it for a little more money. Why should he arrest Eugene? It's not worth it...

"Don't worry, I have a lot of gifts from the city lord. With these, you will most likely be able to return to Hongye City alive!"

"But now, you have embarrassed me in front of so many people. You have embarrassed a count in front of his own subordinates and outsiders. Tell me, should you be punished?"

Although I might get revenge from the Lord of Red Leaf City afterwards, I'd better survive it first, and the news may not get out!

"Maybe we have too much wealth... It must be those local merchants in Silver Pine City who tipped off, otherwise he wouldn't know what we have!"

Eugene's face looked a little grim. In order to survive, he didn't care about so much.

"Oh! Five hundred gold coins? The Earl's face is only worth five hundred gold coins?"

This is great, it's completely embarrassing! I heard that these white wines were brewed by the Lord of Hongye City, but he kept saying that this was the red wine passed down from his ancestors. Doesn't this instantly make him look several generations lower! How can this not make him angry!

After listening to Ma Luo's words, Shu Daqiang hesitated for a moment, but he finally gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, I can go to Hongye City to report the news, but I'm not sure if I can make it to Hongye City alive..."

Shu Daqiang felt a little gloating.

But it’s okay now, at least they are in Silver Pine City, the largest city in the north. If they don’t go out to take risks, at least their lives are not in danger.

Eugene spoke quickly.

Even Marcy had to roll her eyes secretly at Count Langman's hypocrisy, but she knew that the Count was moved, so she struck while the iron was hot:

This is why Count Langman did not stop her from killing people in his own palace.

He really didn't expect that Earl Langman would be so unreasonable today! After the soldiers found the two, they didn't even give them a chance to explain, and directly took them to jail. The Earl was not like this at all!

Marcy bit her lip. Her not-so-delicate face looked so beautiful in the eyes of Count Langman.

"You have caused a count to lose face, and the only way to redeem it is by your death!"

As they listened to the businessman's words, everyone's mouths became wider and wider.

"Reporting to the Earl, there should be about twenty people!"

night.

Langman hesitated. Although it sounded good, it seemed to damage his reputation.

"ah!"

Based on his understanding of the Earl, it was obvious that he was moved, but he was too embarrassed to speak out loud, so he let Anxi speak.

还好这朗曼伯爵估计是平常的男女运动不少，身体比较虚，他虽然打了本森好几鞭子，但是力道相对那些专业人员来说，不是很大，留下了本森一条性命。

“伯爵大人，求您饶了我吧，我知道错了，我愿意拿出五百枚金币，来为我的错误付出代价！”

其实要说起来，这事情也怪他。

虽然说，他们可以在银松城出售一些红叶城的货物，然后再购买一些粮食，但是这一场大雪不停的话，他们这些物资又运不回去，买了有什么用？

当然，虽然这件事怪他，他要是不吹牛，他要是听马洛的话，肯定不会是如今这个局面，但他是伯爵大人，他不可能出错，他也不可能在自己身上找原因。

“马洛骑士！”

为了活命，别无他法。

之前的晴天是可遇不可求的，这也是为什么，这些人一看到天晴了，立刻就要离开了，因为整个冬天可能就有这一次好天气也说不准。

“我们并不需要与他们动手，毕竟他们也是有一名骑士的，我们可以购买他们手里的东西啊！”

阿贝对着安妮摇摇头。

“是这样的，前天在酒馆，他见到了本森，然后向本森炫耀自己从红叶城买的酒……”

在明面上，他还是很受大家欢迎的，他自己也很享受这种感觉。

本森说什么只要不是骗到伯爵大人头上，他们就不会有事，但是没想到，这些白酒竟然真的是被伯爵大人拿走了！ 虽然尤金到现在还不知道，为什么伯爵大人会这么生气，但是他毕竟理亏，也不敢狡辩。

尤金感受到了朗曼伯爵眼中的杀意！ 千钧一发之际，他立刻慌乱地开口： “伯爵大人，我还有一计，能让您短时间赚到十万枚金币！”

安妮的心情很糟，所有人的心情都很糟。

虽然玛茜说得模棱两可，但是尤金瞬间松了一口气。

“大胆，你把本伯爵当成什么人了！”

虽然尤金也不敢保证他能百分百卖到一万金币，但是为了自己的小命，只能这么说。

马洛把众人召集起来，让其不要外出，然后经过她和阿贝的偷偷观察，果然，就是有人在监视自己的商队！

一声铁链打开的声音从外面传来，让尤金下意识地颤抖了一下。

“有很大的可能！”

如果是以前的朗曼伯爵，尤金觉得自己付出一些代价的话，应该是可以获得原谅的，但是现在啥也不问，啥也不说，上来就把本森打个半死！ 甚至朗曼伯爵根本不在乎面子了，这是根本没有半点谈判的可能啊！ 尤金觉得，自己估计有些在劫难逃了。

一般都是最低的男爵，有时候也能买到子爵，但是这是极限了。

安妮弱弱地开口。

自己连五百枚金币都拿不出来，他凭什么能拿出来一千枚金币！

玛茜有些嘲讽，但是语气也有一些酸，她这是站在朗曼伯爵的角度开口的。

“咚咚咚！”

玛茜虽然很嫉妒，但是擅长察言观色的她，一眼就看到伯爵大人有些心动了，她立刻开口： “这里没有你讨价还价的份，你赶紧把财富献上来，或许伯爵大人看在你知错就改的份上，能饶你一命也说不定！”

“大家不要担心，我来想想办法！”

这个数字虽然很诱人，但是朗曼伯爵已经不相信尤金了。

毕竟尤金惹的不是别人，而是银松城权势最大的伯爵大人！

哐当！

尤金连忙再次开口： “一千枚金币，我愿意付出一千枚金币！”

虽然暗地里也有很多人骂他。

“我那些从红叶城带来的货物，只要稍微一运作，绝对能卖得上一万枚金币！”

不行，不能这么做！

“什么时候才能回家啊！”

难道就是因为红叶城吗？

玛茜嘴角一挑，她很期待看到马洛他们紧张的样子。

什么十几米高的城墙，数不清的美食、漂亮的衣服，如同国王般的至尊享受……

“不行，不说我们强行离开的话可能会有很多人受伤，甚至死亡，就说外面风雪那么大，离开了也活不成！”

他现在很犹豫，是为了自己的名声继续装好人，还是为了成为侯爵，不惜做一些大胆的事情。

安妮小脸紧皱。

“尤金被朗曼伯爵抓走了！”

有人担心地说道。

如果真的能成为侯爵，他朗曼绝对能称得上光宗耀祖了！

马洛开口道。

只有他们自己知道，这些货物有多值钱！

这名商人有些不解。

但是没想到，他还是被人盯上了。

身为一名伟大的兽人，他能力却是这么的鸡肋。

“购买？”

听到昨天伯爵大人在宴会上一直叫白酒是他祖上传下来的酒后，这名商人张大了嘴巴，他总算明白了，为什么尤金被抓起来了，这不是金币的问题，这是让伯爵大人丢脸的问题！

见到货物玛茜还没有什么感觉，但是看到那一千枚金币，她那种嫉妒之心，简直要爆炸了。

如果不接受治疗的话，不知道本森还能活多久。

只不过，事情的发展并不像他们想的这么简单……

“很好！”

玛茜懵了。

尤金带着哭腔喊道。

“二十多人！”

尤金也不知道自己怎么让伯爵大人丢人了，但他还是慌忙地点头。

“我身为一名公正的伯爵，银松城的城主……”

一路上她都冷着脸，吓得尤金也不敢说话。

最坏的打算，就是他们都被困在银松城。

“十万？呵！”

尤金也不敢犹豫，他带着玛茜和士兵回到自己家里，安慰一下妻儿之后，立刻那些货物都搬运了出来，并且把手中的一千多金币都拿了过来。

马洛点点头。

危险还没有解除，但是目前来看，性命应该是保住了。

“难不成我们会被困死在这里？”

“伯爵大人~”

看到尤金转眼就加到了一千枚金币，玛茜不但没有开心，反而是很嫉妒。

他最近总感觉有人在监视自己。

或者说，在监视他的商队。

突然，敲门声响起。

“尤金是谁？”

要是有一个两个的，他稍微威胁加恐吓，对方肯定屁都不敢放一个，但是这么多人的话，不用想，肯定不会那么简单， 甚至一点操作不好的话，他的名声那可真的臭了，这让他以后怎么在贵族圈子里混！ 虽然大家都知道彼此是虚伪的，但是知道是一回事，被人揭穿又是一回事。

看到马洛，对方行了一个礼，然后他脸色有些难看地开口。

银松城，城主府下面的地牢中。

“这……”

在尤金慢慢扩散的瞳孔中，映射出两具抱在一起的躯体。

看着死不瞑目的尤金，玛茜有些兴奋地舔了舔嘴角，鲜血的味道让她有些兴奋。

衣服随手丢在血泊中。

“兄弟，你们要活着等着我回来！”

“你……说什么？”

朗曼伯爵很生气。

这让玛茜很不甘，并且十分地嫉妒！ 凭什么我一走你们就发达了？ 凭什么没有我，你们能过得那么好？ 如果这是别的地方，玛茜或许还不会这样，但这是红叶城，是她待过的红叶城，是她认为永远不可能崛起的红叶城！

马洛和阿贝对视一眼，两人一同开口。

虽然觉得尤金的话不是很可信，但是朗曼真的心动了。

“这……”

对于自己的第六感，马洛还是很慎重的，他找来阿贝，对方同样有这样的感觉。

看在大家都在红叶城带过的份上，有人开口，把昨天宴会上的事情简单地说了一遍。

现在他们很可能面临巨大的危险，甚至有可能都死在这里，毕竟这可是一个大城，这里面的士兵和骑士数不胜数！ 如果他们真的都牺牲了，那一定得让城主大人知道自己是死于谁的手中！

异界的天气就是这样，一下雪，要很久才能停。

子爵以上的爵位，也就是上面的伯爵，侯爵，公爵是不可能用金币购买的，只能是国王授予。

If there is anything that can make her happy now, apart from the fact that the Earl divorced his original wife and married her, it would only be to teach Marlowe and his men from Red Leaf City a lesson!

After hearing what Marlowe said, everyone looked at each other, as if no one was good at stealth.

Count Langman frowned, he seemed to understand something.

This is just the surveillance in public, who knows how many more there are in secret! And from the other party's body movements, Marlowe knew that this was not an ordinary person, but a trained soldier! In Silver Pine City, there is only one person who can have such strength - Earl Langman! "Are we being monitored by Earl Langman?"

Eugene looked excited, as if he had become a marquis.

She didn't believe it, she didn't want to believe it! But after asking several merchants and seeing the magical things they brought, she knew that this might be true.

The businessman hesitated for a moment, but decided to tell the truth.

Swish! Marcy pulled out a dagger from her skirt and stabbed Eugene directly in the chest in front of Eugene's horrified eyes.

Huh? Everyone was stunned. After all, they just had a small conflict with Count Langman. Now when they heard his name, they subconsciously took it more seriously.

"Then... let's take the first idea. I'll leave this matter to you!"

But this is just an ordinary title.

"He came with us before. He was a merchant from Silver Pine City."

Eugene fell down unwillingly and fell under Marcie's skirt.

Thinking of how much goods he still had not sold and the faces of his wife and children, Eugene's mouth felt a little bitter.

Temporary.

After comforting everyone, Marlowe called a few core members together.

"I'm good at stealth..."

He had no good feelings towards Count Langman, and naturally, he had no good feelings towards the merchants in Silver Pine City either. Seeing the two sides fighting each other, he felt relieved.

Even as Count Langman's bedmate, she naturally knew what Langman was thinking, so she smiled and said, "Your Excellency, let's do this. Let's find a reason first and put them under house arrest. They want to leave, right? Then we won't let them leave, even if the snow stops! They will definitely be the ones who will be anxious by then! Or we can be more radical and rush in directly to take away their goods for the purpose of inspection. Of course, this may provoke their resistance..."

Count Langman rushed over with red eyes.

Zhang Feng said that if you encounter an enemy that you cannot defeat, you must retreat first to preserve your strength.

If she had to choose between staying at home and Hongye City, she would definitely choose Hongye City, but now that she has left Hongye City, she would definitely choose to go home.

"this……"

Inside the castle, when Count Langman saw the goods and listened to Eugene's explanation, his eyes lit up at first, but as he listened further, his expression turned ugly.

At the end of his speech, Count Langman's face looked a little grim.

"I was wondering where Count Longman got the liquor from, turns out Eugene had ripped him off!"

…

Moreover, in their aristocratic circles, viscounts and barons have little presence and are even looked down upon by other nobles. Only when they become earls can they be considered as the real aristocracy! After all, the title bought with money and the title granted by the king are two different concepts!

He thought of what Zhang Feng had told him, and said to the others, "Do you have anyone who is good at stealth? I need to report the news here to the city lord!"

Even a few hundred gold coins can buy a title.

Shu Daqiang was carrying a small bag and quietly opened the door. There was thick snow outside.

He immediately plunged into the snow and disappeared in an instant, leaving behind only a hole as big as a bucket. This hole will probably be covered up by heavy snow again tomorrow.
