Chapter 63

"Good evening, Your Excellency is a little strange, what's your name?"Tang En bowed his head slightly and saluted , said in a tranquil voice: "Ambrose-Pete." Tang En was dressed as a middle-aged man with a gloomy face, and his indifferent speech was in line with his temperament.
"Ambrose?" Bowens tapped his forehead, "This surname seems to be mostly in the north."
Tang En tiny glanced at Bowens in surprise and praised: " Mr. Bowen is erudite, and I am a timber merchant in Shanhai City in the north."
"Haha, this is really not old Bowen. I lived in Xiongguan City in the north when I was a child, and I still have some memories of that. Bowen Si raised his head and laughed twice, then said, "I don't know what Xiongguan City has become now, I really miss it. Your Excellency Pete is a northerner, and he must have been to Xiongguan City. I wonder if you can describe it for me." What about next?"
"I'm really sorry for this, although I'm from the north, but I only run a single line in the timber business, that is, between Shanhai City and the southern cities, so I'm very concerned about what Xiongguancheng is. I don't know." Tang En replied that not one drop of water can leak out.
"Well, that's such a pity..." Bowen looked pity on the head, and then said, "Your Excellency Pete is in the lumber business, um, how is the market now?"
"It's okay, no big fluctuations." Tang En replied vaguely. I can't help but be vigilant in my heart, this Bowen's previous greetings to people were all finished in three or two sentences, but it happened to me to get involved in a lot, obviously I felt something...
"That's good. Well, It's a coincidence, a friend of mine recently said that he wants to do a timber business and plans to sell it to the north. However, he is not clear about the land transport route. He also has a hard time deciding whether to transport red fragrant wood or ebony wood, Mr. Pete is Expert, I hope you can give me some pointers." After speaking, Bowen stared at Tang En as if a torch,
"This..." Tang En opened the mouth and said hesitantly, "This involves commercial secrets, so it's inconvenient to say."
Bowen stared wide-eyed: "Your Excellency Pete is a bit petty, and doesn't have the boldness of northerners at all. It just means a route and It's just a choice, there's no trade secret."
"But..."
Bowen took a half-step forward, stared at Tang En's and said, "Your Excellency Pete If you refuse like this again, it will inevitably make people think that you don't know anything... what do you think?"
Tang En was silent and stood still. The surrounding crowd also felt wrong at this time, and hurriedly stepped back.
Hey, Bowen's was taken aback for a moment, because when he stared at Tang En's eyes, he found that the eyes of Tang En's suddenly became very empty, like... like the soul was taken away, leaving only one. The same as the shell.
After a few seconds, Tang En's eyes gleamed again, and sighed said, "Well, since Lord Bowen said so, then I have to tell the truth."
Bowen's frowned.
"The red fragrant wood cannot be transported, otherwise it will suffer a big loss. Because the climate in the north is so cold, the red fragrant wood will most likely be frozen and cracked when transported there. Ebony wood is a good choice. This wood It is heavy and heavy, and will not be cracked by freezing. It can be used as a building material to block the cold, and it is a hot commodity in the northern timber market." The aristocratic merchants who know little about their business kept their heads lightly.
"As for the route, if Lord Bowen's friend chooses to travel by land, even if the ebony is transported, it will lose money. You must know that the distance between the two places is very long, and the cost is huge. Plus the north There are many barren mountains and unruly rivers, thieves and bandits, and it is too dangerous for the trade team to pass through.”
“So the only way to transport wood can be water. From this way north, the freight is very low, and the time required will be much faster."
"Okay, Mr. Bowen, are you satisfied with my answer?" There is a system, as long as there is information, why would I dare to answer you in a hundred thousand...
"Uh, satisfied, satisfied." Bowen said reluctantly with a smile, "I will thank my friend first. You, um, I'll give you a toast."
With that, Bowens picked up two goblets from the side table and shoved one of them into Tang En's hands.
"Cheers!"
"Cheers!"
Bang...
The glass was broken, some red liquor spilled on Tang En's face.
"Sorry, sorry!" Bowen hurriedly took a napkin and wiped Tang En's face, "Old Bao used to drink from a bowl, and crystal glasses are really not used to drinking, just touch a glass. Broken..."
After being vigorously wiped a few times, Tang En stretched out his hand to hold Bowen's hand: "Understand, understand. When I was drinking in the north, I also took a bowl and squeezed it. I'm not used to wearing this crystal glass. Well, I'll just do it myself."
Tang En took the napkin and wiped it on his face a few times: "Master Bowen, my face Any more? You're looking at me like that..."
"Uh, no, no, I'm sorry just now." Bowen's expression was a little dazed.
“Haha, it’s okay.” Tang En shrugged. Want to break my Camouflage with a glass of wine? What are you kidding...
Bowen's senses are no doubt quite acute, especially for Assassin, who just killed someone. Even though he couldn't see the weak spot from Tang En's face at first, he sensed something was wrong. After several verbal temptations were resolved by Tang En, he still decided to find a way to wipe Tang En's face, but he succeeded, but Tang En's face remained unchanged.
Of course, Bowen's can't be blamed for this failed attempt. After all, he was in contact with the Camouflage technique of the Other World. Now suddenly encounter another system of Camouflage skills, naturally there is no way.
Although there are still doubts in his heart, Bowen's can only give up at this time and continue to walk behind.
There were only five Thiefs who came in tonight. One failed to crack the magic lock and was killed, two were caught now, Jack is now missing, and Tang En passed the border safely.
Bowen naturally couldn't find any Thief in the subsequent search. The Alston count had already searched the bodies of the two Thiefs, but found nothing he wanted to see.
Seeing that Bowen's search was completed, Auston Count's face suddenly became ugly.
At this time, Viscount Anthony stood up again and said sarcastically: "Master count, now the search is over, can we old fogeys go back to rest?"
Auston Count's face was gloomy, he ignored this remark, and just called in two guards: "Take these two goddamn Thiefs along to withdraw for me to 'serve', I want to know as soon as possible who they are By someone."
"Yes!"
"Lord count..." Bowen frowned.
Auston count waved his hand, "Don't worry, Chief Bowen, I'll let them leave a breath for you to bring it back for business."
Bowen's frowned, silent. He always felt that something was wrong just now, but the mistake made by Tang En's first made him hesitate.
Auston count glanced at Viscount Anthony at this time: "Go back? Yes! But after the body search is completed."
"The body search?"
"What a joke."
"Auston count, you're so rude!"
......
One stone caused a thousand waves, Everyone in the hall was immediately annoyed and condemned Auston one after another.
Bowen finally couldn't hold back the throbbing in his heart at this time, and asked, "Master count, did you know that guard just now?"
"What?" Countdown is being condemned by thousands at this time, how can he understand Bowen's questioning.
Bowen had no choice but to ask again.
"Guard? Is there any problem?" Auston Count stepped back and summoned a steward.
"The guard just now? Uh, I don't care about that, it seems to be a raw face." The steward recalled diligently.
"Not good!" Bowen slapped his thigh, loudly roared: "Bernie, take your brother with me."
Auston count is confused: " What, what happened?"
"There was a guard in disguise just now!" Bowen threw this sentence, Rapid Speed rushed out of the hall.
"What?" Auston Count was stunned for a moment, then burst into anger: "Damn, bully intolerably! Guards, come with me!"
"Sir, Lord , what should I do here?" Steward on the side asked quickly.
"Those who searched can go, those who refuse to stay here!" Leaving such a sentence, Auston Count took a sword, and murderous aura rushed out.
