Also follows time to be the same, asks support?” 柯林留在原地,笑眯眯地打量着这位吕特家族的骑士,问道:“杰森骑士,你这次来又是为了什么呢？难道还跟上次一样,来求支援的？” „No, Count Sir, this time I have an important matter to report.” “不,伯爵大人,这次我是有一件重要事情想要禀告。” „Said that looks.” “说说看。” Jason then carries the big bonds to enter the alfalfa city the north wind chamber of commerce , the matter that was stolen away by the local thief told. 杰森便将北风商会携带着大笔债券进入苜蓿城,却又被当地小偷偷走的事情讲述了一遍。 However, what makes his disappointed is, Colin calmly listens, on the face actually cannot see any expression. 不过,让他失望的是,柯林静静听完,脸上却看不出任何表情。 As if such matter is unable to arouse his interest. 仿佛这样的事情根本无法引起他的关注。 In Jason heart anxious, reminded hastily: „ Count Sir, the north wind chamber of commerce dares to send out the caravan to conduct the foreign trade through the alfalfa city, this simply is before you provocation of policy formulates! 杰森心中焦躁,连忙提醒道:“伯爵大人,北风商会敢派出商队通过苜蓿城来进行对外贸易,这简直是对您之前制定的政策的挑衅！ If you do not carry out the severe attack to this smuggling activities, later will have other imitation surely! ” 如果您不对这种走私行为进行严厉打击,以后必定还会有其他的效仿者！” Colin smiles, the look ponders looks at Jason, asked: „, The city lord as alfalfa city, your father has the northern boundary merchant who the ability helps me crack down on these smuggling?” 柯林笑了笑,眼神玩味地看着杰森,问道:“那么,作为苜蓿城的城主,你的父亲有能力帮我打击这些走私的北境商人吗？” „Temporarily...... cannot.” Jason is somewhat discouraged, but also says immediately, „Count Sir, so long as you are willing to support us, naturally, I was also clear that you worry angry water river natural moat, but, so long as you dispatched troops to help us occupy one in alfalfa city three city, our Rytter families can certainly block such a smuggling trade route for you!” “暂时……不能。”杰森有些泄气,但又立刻道,“伯爵大人,只要您愿意支援我们,当然,我也清楚您顾虑怒水河这道天堑,但是,只要您出兵帮助我们占据了苜蓿城三个城区中的一个,那我们吕特家族一定能够为您阻断这样一条走私商路！” However, Colin shakes the head firmly, said: „I have said that now has not dispatched troops to the time in alfalfa city.” 然而,柯林还是坚定地摇摇头,道:“我说过了,现在还不是出兵苜蓿城的时机。” Jason has not lost heart, urged: „Count Sir, this north wind chamber of commerce also tries to ship out the northern boundary the big bonds, you were not worried the buyer who these bonds who is?” 杰森还不死心,又劝道:“伯爵大人,这次北风商会还试图将大笔债券运出北境,您难道就不担心这些债券的买家是谁吗？” „Naturally was not worried.” Colin is calm and composed even in press of work said that „ initially issued these bonds time, duke Sir explicitly declared, anyone, can with the grain receiving in exchange bond, moreover can after the bond due day, receive in exchange for the grain with them to the St. Hilde family. “当然不担心。”柯林好整以暇地说道,“当初发行这些债券的时候,公爵大人就明确宣称,无论是谁,都可以用粮食换取债券,而且也能在债券到期之日后,用它们向圣希尔德家族换取粮食。 The north wind chamber of commerce received in exchange for the big bonds with the grain from the St. Hilde family hand, how now they prepare to process these bonds, sold to anyone, with the St. Hilde family, with me, irrelevant. ” 北风商会用粮食从圣希尔德家族手中换取了大笔债券,现在他们准备怎么处理这些债券,卖给谁,都跟圣希尔德家族,跟我,无关了。” „But, the north wind chamber of commerce this time is the preparation such a big bond trade will obviously give the eastern boundary! Count Sir, you did not worry that what plot the eastern boundary does have?” “但是,北风商会这次明显是准备将这样一大笔债券交易给东境呀！伯爵大人,您难道不担心东境有没有什么阴谋吗？” „What plot?” Colin have a relish pursues asks. “什么阴谋？”柯林饶有兴致地追问道。 Jason opens mouth, actually does not know how should answer this issue. 杰森张了张嘴,却不知道该怎么回答这个问题。 Colin somewhat seems to be disappointed, said lightly: „ Ok, the Jason knight, your Rytter families cared how well can stand firm in the alfalfa city. 柯林似乎有些失望,淡淡道:“好了,杰森骑士,你们吕特家族还是好好关心一下怎么才能在苜蓿城站稳脚跟吧。 This time accident to you is actually a rare opportunity, is it possible that haven't you learned to the present? ” 这次的变故对你们其实是一次难得机会,你莫非到现在还没有看明白吗？” „Opportunity?” Jason gawked staring, obviously has not understood Colin's meaning. “机会？”杰森愣了愣,显然是没明白柯林的意思。 Colin does not have the detailed explanation, is only with the order tone: „ Since is not clear, that goes back to look well, do not run around all day, is thinking the impractical aid. 柯林也没有详细解释,只是用命令的口吻道:“既然不明白,那就回去好好看着,别整天到处乱跑,想着不切实际援助。 The alfalfa city will soon have the drastic change, hopes that you can seize this opportunity well. ” 苜蓿城即将发生剧变,希望你们能够好好把握这一次机会。” Jason as if realized anything, but also wants to question in detail, but Colin has beckoned with the hand, hints him to depart. 杰森似乎意识到了什么,还想细问,但柯林已经摆摆手,示意他离去。 Although in the heart full is the doubts, but Jason does not dare to go against Colin's will, must salute to ask to be excused. 虽然心中满是疑惑,但杰森也不敢违背柯林的意志,只得行礼告退。 After Jason walks, Colin walks quickly several steps, catches up Queen Aisha who the front strolls, holds in the arms her waist. 杰森走后,柯林快走几步,追上前方漫步的艾莎女王,重新搂住她的腰肢。 Aisha smiles to Colin gently, asks: „The wind and cloud of alfalfa city is you mixes?” 艾莎对柯林温婉一笑,问道:“苜蓿城的风云是你搅动的吧？” Colin also smiles, had not denied: „What cannot hide the truth from you.” 柯林也笑了笑,没有否认:“什么都瞒不过你啊。” „But, having a matter I am very curious.” “不过,有件事我很好奇。” „What?” “什么？” „Does that priceless bond, really exist?” “那笔价值连城的债券,是不是真的存在？” Colin laughs, definitely nods saying: „Naturally exists, moreover, eastern boundary Count Ivan indicates to want the north wind chamber of commerce taking away alfalfa city personally, prepares to exchange with him with the grain.” 柯林哈哈一笑,肯定地点点头道:“当然是真实存在的,而且,还是东境埃文伯爵亲自指明要北风商会带去苜蓿城,准备用粮食跟他交换的。” Aisha blinks: „That according to this logic, had the north wind chamber of commerce actually been controlled by you?” 艾莎眨了眨眼睛:“那这样说来,北风商会其实已经被你控制了？” „Right.” “没错。” „But this will have an issue.” “但这样会有一个问题。” Colin nods, as if has known that Queen Aisha wanted to say anything: „You want to remind me, as the matter stands will make the eastern boundary realize that the north wind chamber of commerce by the undercover who I do control?” 柯林点点头,似乎已经知道艾莎女王想要说什么:“你是不是想提醒我,这样一来会让东境意识到北风商会是受我控制的卧底？” „You have thought.” “你已经想到了呀。” „Yes . Moreover, the solution is also very simple.” “是的,而且,解决办法也很简单。” „What means?” “什么办法？” „Looks to be a scapegoat the hero.” “找个背锅侠。” „Is a scapegoat the hero?” Queen Aisha talked over the new words and expressions that in two Linkou presented that as if somewhat understands meaning, „was Rytter family?” “背锅侠？”艾莎女王念叨了两遍柯林口中出现的新鲜词语,似乎有些明白了其中的意思,“是吕特家族吗？” „Intelligent!” The Colin's gently pecking on queen tender and beautiful red lip, „, but, you do not need to be worried for Rytter family. I had arranged the manpower in the alfalfa city, will not at least make Rowen die of the assassination retaliation. “聪明！”柯林在女王娇艳的红唇上轻轻一啄,“不过,你也不用为吕特家族担心。我已经在苜蓿城安排了人手,至少不会让罗恩死于刺杀报复。 Is capable of cleaning up the aftermath in alfalfa city as for him, must look at his own skill. ” 至于他有没有能力收拾苜蓿城的残局,就要看他自己的本事了。” „The city lord as alfalfa city, Rowen is a scapegoat is also natural.” Queen Aisha sincere say/way, „you have helped him be busy, if he therefore bears a grudge you, that does not know good from bad.” “作为苜蓿城的城主,罗恩来背锅也是理所应当的。”艾莎女王正色道,“你已经帮了他大忙了,他若是因此记恨你,那才是不知好歹。” „Bears a grudge? No, he will only enclasp my thigh. After this matter, Rytter family will become thorn in the side of eastern boundary, if Rowen wants to maintain a livelihood, can only defend the alfalfa city for us at risk of life.” “记恨？不,他只会更加抱紧我的大腿。此事之后,吕特家族将成为东境的眼中钉肉中刺,罗恩要想活命,只能拼死替我们守好苜蓿城。” Queen Aisha nods, immediately also some anxieties said: „But, I somewhat worried, by Rowen's ability, is not necessarily able to control the chaotic situation of alfalfa city.” 艾莎女王点点头,随即又有些忧虑地说道:“不过,我有些担心,以罗恩的能力,未必能控制得住苜蓿城的乱局。” „Actually that is also indifferent.” Colin shrugs, said at will, „won't at least compare now is worse not?” “其实那也无所谓。”柯林耸了耸肩,随意道,“至少不会比现在更差了不是吗？” „Also right. So long as not by influence control of eastern boundary support, even if alfalfa city in great confusion also indifferent.” “也对。只要不是被东境支持的势力控制,哪怕苜蓿城乱成一团也无所谓。” At this time, self-confident Colin has not known, the development of alfalfa city deviates the track that he estimated. 此时,自信的柯林还不知道,苜蓿城的局势发展偏离了他预想的轨道。 The human affairs is variable, the will of the people are difficult to predict, every so often, the plan cannot keep up with the change. 世事无常,人心难测,很多时候,计划都赶不上变化。 ...... …… In two people chatted, the steward walked again, gave Queen Aisha to seal/confer Xinjian. 就在两人闲聊间,管家再次走了过来,将一封信件交给了艾莎女王。 The queen swept in a hurry, gives Colin, said with a smile: „We also almost can return to the silver semi-circular protective wall outside the main city gate.” 女王匆匆扫了一遍,又递给柯林,同时笑道:“我们也差不多可以回银月城了。” Colin read a letter, showed the smile. 柯林看了一遍信件,也露出了笑容。 He puts out a hand to caress gently on the lower abdomen that Aisha sticks out, said: 他伸手轻轻抚在艾莎隆起的小腹上,道: „Good, that makes us greet the birth of this new life together.” “好,那就让我们一同迎接这个新生命的诞生吧。”
