Chapter 16 Burning the Undead Bird [2]

There are many chambers of commerce in the north implicated in the war, but this not only does not make businessmen give up chasing interests, but also increasingly likes to take risks. In a war, you can make too much money. What's more, today's situation is the most confusing. The three-legged tripod formed by the two countries plus a warlord is extremely unbearable. With a slight tremor, one side is bound to collapse brazenly. However, no matter which side it is, I don't want the one to collapse to be myself.

Catherine. Nar's breakfast is still golden wheat bread, a fried egg, and a glass of milk. It's just that Narval's military residence newspaper really makes her have no appetite. Nowadays, in the Duchy of Narval, government affairs have gradually never died from the old bird Phoenix. Nar's hand was handed over to Princess Catherine. This sense of mission of the country not only does not make this woman feel the slightest heavy, but also takes it for granted, and it is more and more cold-blooded.

Yes, it's cold-blooded.

No matter how the people outside shout, women who go their own way always believe that as long as they get great benefits in this war negotiations, it is worth it even if 30,000 elites die.

Being able to completely suppress the Kingdom of Estonia is the ultimate expectation of this woman. What I didn't expect was that the bomb, which was about to explode from time to time, finally exploded at a very inappropriate time. This makes me feel sad and deeply understand that no terrible guy should be provoked. In particular, when this guy doesn't have a good temper, it's even more unexpected.

"Damn it!" Catherine just took a sip of milk, and then patted her white palm heavily on the table. There was a cough behind her. Phoenix took a heavy step and looked at his daughter slightly haggardly and said, "My little princess, what makes you so embarrassed and angry?"

"Father."

The iceberg princess looked back coldly and called faintly.

Phoenix didn't care about Catherine's performance. He just tried his best to sit down and said, "It's not easy to take on the position of Grand Duke. When I was as old as you, I made one mistake after another. Of course, I really thought the world was about to collapse. But it looks pretty good now, doesn't it?"

Phoenix, a free and easy undead bird, naturally has his boldness. Although he is not mediocre, he has never looked for a turning point in the affairs of Narval and Estonia. In other words, this man has never thought of continuing the inheritance of the country through any other means. He just wants to do what he should do. Then, give everything he can get in this world to his daughter.

It's just that no one expected that Tiger suddenly came out. House, the loss brought to them is really too heavy.

Johevi's morning was still busy. From the high wall of the palace, the people coming and going were very busy, carriages, ox carts, donkey carts, and even the hard work force that was hired with heavy goods. It shows that the city is still healthy.

There are hawkers and small merchants bargaining, shouting one after another, as if they are living and prospering in peace and contentment.

However, on the faces of several soldiers passing by, the sad face was bleak, which more or less made this originally beautiful morning extremely unpleasant.

When people come here, they feel more or less different from other northern countries. This may be because the Narval country itself is too small, so the capital of this country also seems to be a little pocket. If it weren't for a few palaces that are not luxurious, I'm afraid many people think it's just a small town in the Southern Empire.

The guards at the gate of the city still had lazy eyes. The two teams of soldiers on duty greeted, and the night watchman yawned and left here. The tax officer stood at the gate like a bucket, trying to make up with today's taxes, and then looked up and narrowed his eyes, sometimes arrogant, sometimes respectful. Those high-headed horse carriages passed by, and they were naturally humble like a thin-waisted dog. When the ordinary peasant women in rags passed by and bargained for today's taxes, they didn't know what to do, and then the two sides reached a small consensus depressingly.

The farmers shook their heads and went to the city, while the tax official took a contemptuous look at the farmer who had just left, eager to kick him fiercely.

In fact, he swore in his heart that if he met another bargaining farmer today, he would kick him fiercely.

Of course, the tax officer is still in this mood to think about the day's work. Phoenix and his daughter looked at this military mansion newspaper, very dissatisfied and frowned. The young woman glanced at the busy citizens outside the window, took her eyes back, stayed in the mansion newspaper, and said to her father, "Father, the power of Tamsalu is not as weak as expected. On the contrary, today's Tamsallu is absolutely capable of influencing the survival of Narval and Estonia. If the man is willing.

Catherine's vision is extremely unique. She is not a vase woman. Phoenix nodded deeply and said, "Although we know what's going on, there is no way to stop him. He is coiled near Chude Lake, just like a small duchy. In fact, judging by the current situation. Narval's strength is not even as strong as his. What's more, most of his men are outlaws. The ordinary army is not their opponent at all.

"Tiger. House is really too mysterious. Phoenix. Nar had a lingering fear. Naturally, he was afraid of this kind of opponent that was difficult to predict. Tiger. House is like a big mountain. Not only is the pressure of Raft III out of breath, but also the immortal old bird Phoenix, which is extremely melancholy. He doesn't know when if Estonia and Tamsalu reach an agreement, then his small duchy may disappear from the map, just like most small countries.

"This winter will be a good opportunity. There is no war on Narval's land, and grain can still be planted in time. As for Estonia, it is impossible to recover for a long time in the future. This is our opportunity. It is also our survival guarantee. I don't believe anyone can launch an offensive in such a harsh winter in the north. This is a military common sense. Of course, this is what you taught me, father. Catherine looked up at her father. It's just that the old bird blushed a little. Obviously, this is not his originality. Naturally, there are qualified generals who tell him this common sense.

"Okay, okay, Catherine, your diligence is obvious to all. It's lucky for the people to have a grand duke like you. What we can do is to make the country better, not to become the dust of history. The undead old bird smiled and patted his daughter on the shoulder, looked out of the window, and then pointed to a caravan at the gate and said, "You see, if those businessmen just stay at home, they will not become much. Only by working diligently can they have profits to compete."

Catherine followed Phoenix's gesture and saw a small team of horses at the gate of the city entering Johevi, and the sniffing dwart's nostrils were white, and there was a smell of hard work inside. The two leading men are tall and look like typical northern men. The guy on the left seems to be a mixed-race, with brown hair, like the leaves on Sicily, with a rough skin and dry palm leaves, but he still looks very handsome. When you smile, you will show a mouthful of white teeth, instead of waxy yellow teeth, which makes people feel sick to the stomach.

The Johevi women on both sides of the street can naturally see what is good. The autumn waves are like a tide, one after another towards the guy who looks like a Sicilian man. And this man, who seemed to have a very cheerful personality, was laughing there, shaking his spirits, and said, "Ah, it turns out that this is Johevi!" Ah ha, it's really amorous.

When he jumped up, many women found that this guy was just wearing a single suit, his strong muscles were exposed outside, and his tough style could be seen at a glance. This combination of tough man and handsome, most of the time it is naturally to meet gods and kill gods, encounter demons and slaughter demons!

"Look, there!"

The little women are huddled in a room. These are all extremely young girls. The sisterly girls are discussing such a group of people who come out early in the morning. The girls pointed to the brown-haired Sicilian man, and this handsome guy immediately attracted a lot of attention.

"He is so handsome!"

"Look at the muscles, ha, he's laughing at me..."

"I'm a nymphomaniac, don't **, okay?"

"Cluck..."

The silver bell came, and there was a little more lively atmosphere on the street. This guy, who looks like a Sicilian man, jumped off his horse, led the horse away, and turned back to the people in the carriage from time to time and said, "Head, this Johevi is really beautiful. When I can't cut people in the future, I will come here to die."

The carriage was extremely poorly made, creaking, as if it was about to fall apart, but the big man who had just returned to the car came out again, with a big beard and scattered hair. His eyes are bright, with a strong and strong way. Walking two steps is full of wind, and he is very proud. If you distinguish it more carefully, you will find that this guy's black hair and black eyes are so bright that Hao Ran is a Nile bloodline.

It's just that his dress looks like a businessman from the south. It's just the straightforwardness and toughness of northerners, which makes more people feel that this guy seems to be a southerner who often lives in the north.

His voice was also very loud, which shocked everyone who had just passed by on both sides. This guy, who seemed to be the boss of the caravan, crossed his waist, held a whip in his hand, pointed to the Sicilian man from afar, and laughed and scolded, "If you want to live here, just come here. It doesn't need much trouble. It's a matter."

When he got out of the carriage, he found that the guy was half a head taller than the Sicilian man, and his majestic body made more people feel the explosive power in his body. He led the two long-haired horses in the carriage, patted the head of the cage, skillfully circled the reins twice, shouted, and the horse followed easily. People who look strange left and right think that this group of people must be people who do big business.

The horse fleet behind the whole car pressed the animal skin and bottles and cans. The tung oil flowing out of the jar, at this time, at the price of Yohervi, had reached the level of forty-five Nalval silver coins per can. Many people rely on this kind of gadget to keep the open fire, and those animal skins are excellent materials for winter wear. It is not guaranteed that as soon as the goods arrive at Johavi, there will be a large number of leather goods stores to trade with this group of people in the caravan.

Although the scale of this caravan is quite large, it's not that I haven't seen it. It's just that there is a war now. Such a large-scale caravan may not appear for a while. However, since we have arrived here, the natural stone makes the atmosphere of Johevi more lively, which also makes people more or less hopeful.

Those coolies and pushers are waiting for the caravan to stop. They can come forward and ask what they can do. At least they can earn more than a dozen copper coins to feed a few mouths at home.

Many of the people at the bottom of Johervey rely on such a caravan to support themselves. Although this kind of day of living on the sky is very unbearable, most of the people in the caravan are generous and will not owe hard work. It is much better than planting an acre or two mu of land at the drive of the old men.

The characteristics of this caravan soon fell into Catherine's eyes, but the woman did not stay on the two men leading the caravan for long. She just smiled faintly and said, "Father, at least the businessmen will still come to Hervey, which shows that they still have enough confidence in us. I believe that only If you want to get through this winter smoothly, everything will be fine. Just like what our country has been doing many years ago.

The accent of this caravan is very noisy. Some are Estonian accents, some are Slavic accents, and some are even from the Great Sea in the south. This is simply a hodgepodge, but this also reflects that there must be some strong strength behind this caravan, unless it is a business all over the world. Chamber of Commerce, otherwise who has such energy?

Those men who were bragging about each other sweated and looked forward to having a rest. They walked slowly to Yohervey for ten days. But in fact, if they run away, it will be a little more than a day at most. For some small reasons, these men have to put up with it.

The city defense army ran back and forth in this caravan. Some officers riding tall horses shouted and stabbed the thick leather carriage with knives from time to time. The escorts of the caravan were obviously extremely angry and ready to do it, but they didn't expect that these people would put up with it. The officer smiled contemptuously and left here with a proud laugh. It was just that the caravan stopped, and two or three hundred people flocked to several big hotels.

Not long after, there was a sudden scream in the alley. The officer actually fell from the horse. He looked down and saw that there was an extra flying knife on his lower abdomen. Then a masked guy disappeared at the mouth of the alley. The officer shouted, but he already knew that the next generation Son, at least it's not humane, it's for sure.

Although he didn't cut his **, it made him never lift it. This kind of means is vicious and vicious. If a man eats such a move, life is worse than death!

Tongyou was moved down by the caravan guys one by one. Some inspectors of the city defense army counted the goods there, while the leather goods were piled up in piles, with a smell of blood, which made people shudder.

Several bosses in the hotel are all living there, but these little bosses are so enthusiastic that people really don't understand that these guys are so enthusiastic about the guards of these caravans, which is simply unheard of.

The arrival of this caravan allows Catherine. Nar's confidence came back. She believed that more businessmen would come to Johavi in the future. In that way, Johavi could still be as lively as before, or even better than before.

It's not wrong to be confident, but it's sad that a person, especially a woman, overestimates his ability and strength. In the hotel, the handsome Sicilian man was smiling and said, "Oh, no matter what, I don't think it's possible to keep a low profile in any place. A handsome man like me is like a firefly in the night, so bright, so outstanding..."

A group of strong men suddenly rubbed their fists and rubbed their palms and smiled evilly, which made the Sicilian men suddenly twitch at the corners of their mouths and scolded, "You are really a group of rude men."

"Okay, I surrender. Stop it."

The Sicilian man raised his hand and surrendered, and the guy who looked like a Nile was saying, "Totti, you can step on it tonight. It seems that the Narvals are really bold. In such a period, they are not regulated. I really don't know that Catherine's woman is overconfident and says that the immortal old bird Phoenix is confused. Since this kind of thing happened, we have no reason to let him go. Believe me, tonight will make Yohervey's people feel unprecedented toughness.

Catherine. Nar felt uneasy. She prayed before going to bed, although in fact, she did not believe that she was a believer. But having a sustenance and faith will more or less make her feel at peace, which seems to be an instinct, or something the woman feels. It's just that she couldn't think of it or notice it. She felt that there was indeed one thing she missed today and disdained it, but it was vaguely unspeakable, which was simply a kind of torture.

In fact, the immortal old bird Phoenix is also restless. He always feels that something is too sudden, that is, the caravan that appeared today is too sudden. Although it is actually only a necessary supporting role for Phoenix to teach his children, the sudden appearance of this supporting role is so strange. The scale is not big or small, and the number of people is not much. The armed personnel before and after are not the fierceness of the wild road at all, but another kind of toughness, a kind of convergence like a spring, that is to say, they are the kind of strength that may break out at any time, and the energy may make the old birds a little horrible.

"No! No! What's wrong?"

Phoenix panicked...
