Empires Start with Lords

However, he quickly responded. Only to hear Babur hurriedly say: "You are too wise, Lord Gordon."

Before he left the Land of Hope, Ross explained that he was the first to visit Wuqiu City, although Wuqiu City must be farther away from other cities.

Because Ross has not established his own intelligence system, but intelligence is very important to him. As a last resort, he had to spend a lot of money to buy from the system the changes in the dozen or so territories around him in the past ten years.

Ross learned that the full name of the fat-looking city lord standing in front of Babur is Pepys Gordon, who only received the city lord's seal from the old city lord six years ago.

In just six short years, the entire Wuqiu City has taken on a new look, just like an eagle plucking feathers and claws on the edge of a cliff at the age of forty and then reborn.

The city that was originally stagnant now exudes vigorous vitality, and it seems to have become the best developed city in the western border of the empire. This is enough to see how powerful this fat-looking lord is.

Moreover, Ross also caught an important message from the intelligence given by the system.

That is, the city owner seems to be very dissatisfied with the Xingxiang Pavilion in Wuqiu City, although he has not torn his face on the surface. But many of the orders seem to be aimed at people in the Star Pavilion on purpose.

For example, ordering Xingxiang Pavilion to fine-tune the weather forecast to every village within the jurisdiction of Wuqiucheng, this clearly shows that these spies sent by the Truman family will be exhausted.

This is also the reason why Ross made Babur the first to make a deal with Wuqiucheng. As the saying goes, the enemy of the enemy is the friend. What's more, Wuqiucheng is now just in line with Ross's strategic policy of distant and close attack.

Therefore, Ross not only attaches great importance to the trade with Wuqiucheng, but he also specially brought a secret letter to the city lord who seems to be quite capable. Ross believed that with this person's intellect, he could tell at a glance what he had written.

Now that Babur has reacted, he is afraid that if he hesitates for another second, the City Lord Wuqiu in front of him will change his mind.

When Gordon saw Babur's appearance, the corners of his mouth twitched slightly, realizing that he might be too high.

But because of what he has said, it is difficult for him to take it back as the lord of a city. And he said the price himself, the other party probably already has a bottom in his heart. Even if he regrets it at this time, I am afraid that the other party will know how much money to talk about.

Moreover, looking at the shocked look of the other party at that moment, Gordon realized that he might have said a whole zero. When he thought of this, for some reason, there was a pain in his heart.

Maybe that's why losing money can be heartbreaking. But he also reacted quickly.

I saw him kindly said to Babur: "Okay, I hope we have a good cooperation. I believe that Ross will not let us down. After all, it's not just me Wu Qiucheng's family who bought gunpowder."

Babur quickly replied: "Of course, you are our biggest customer. In any case, we will first ensure that your interests will not be lost in half."

"Well." Gordon nodded, his arrogance was not as arrogant as when he had just met Babur. Maybe it's because I'm still struggling with money.

"By the way, Lord City Lord." Babur suddenly remembered something, took out a secret letter from his arms, and said to Gordon: "Our Lord Lord even asked me to bring you a special letter."

"Oh?" Gordon, who was in heartache, heard Babur's words, raised his spirits a little, and then said to what he didn't know: "Go, bring me the letter."

When Babur heard Gordon's words, he looked suspiciously at both sides of the Pope's chair he was sitting on. Since he came in just now, no attendants or guards have been seen in this hall. Apart from himself and Gordon, he did not find anyone else in the entire hall.

So who is Gordon calling now? Is it yourself? But he heard this sentence clearly, it was obviously an instruction to the guard.

Just when Babur was puzzled, the guard stone statue on the left side of the Pope's chair suddenly moved.

This move shocked Babur. Soon, the statue walked down the steps, came to Babur, took the envelope, and then went to the Pope's chair and handed the envelope to Gordon.

After doing all this, under Babur's shocked gaze, the 'stone statue' returned to its original position and maintained its original movement.

Babur stared blankly at the restored stone statue, as if he had just had a fantasy. Only the envelope that disappeared from his hand reminded him that what just happened was real.

After a while, Babur also understood. The statues of these guards in the hall should all be real people, but because the light is too dark, and these people were too quiet before, I didn't notice it.

Babur thought in his mind how much it would cost to train such an army. For him, let alone standing still. Even letting him sit still for three hours would be very uncomfortable.

He secretly wondered if he should also suggest to Lord Ross to create such a living room. After all, when the trade opens, it will be necessary to communicate with people from many surrounding territories. What if someone plots against the Map of Hope and intends to assassinate the lord.

And Gordon was also puzzled after receiving the secret letter. He didn't know why Ross wrote a secret letter to himself. UU reading www.uukanshu.com He thought, maybe this guy wrote a secret letter to each trade partner, and then tried to flatter himself in the letter, creating a feeling that he was very familiar with himself, and then pulled close relationship?

The reason why he thought so was because he had done the same thing in the first place. Otherwise, he also has no chance to completely eliminate the unstable factors in the city.

However, when he opened the secret letter, he found that things were very different from what he thought.

The doubt on his face gradually turned into seriousness and then excitement as he browsed through the contents of the letters. It seemed that the sadness that I had just reported an extra zero had disappeared without a trace along with the excitement now.

There are two main things in the letter.

The first one, Ross mentioned in the letter that he has some more powerful weapons, which can be sold secretly if there is no need for Qiucheng.

The second thing is that the Astrology Pavilion in the Land of Hope is now almost useless. I asked Gordon's Astrology Pavilion if he could send one or two people over to guide him, so as to strengthen the friendship between the two places.

"Lord Ross is really too wise." Fatty Ge said happily with the letter in his hand: "I haven't met a friend who is as lovable as Lord Ross for a long time."
